"Thank you, Pavilion Master Zhang..."
Chen Mo thanked him unnaturally, not sure if he could hear it. It was a good thing to have an acquaintance to supervise him. He could also hide many tricks for no reason and prepare for tomorrow's competition for the Qianxun Ranking.
For about half an hour, this group of monks fought fiercely in the ring. Only two inner disciples were successfully promoted. The rest of the monks used their special skills to win.
It can be seen that these people are not willing to settle for mediocrity and want to go to the forgotten land to have a chance.
...
"The next group, Duan Tiannian versus Chen Mo, the two of them will come on stage quickly!"
Zhang Siyuan finished reporting for the group, his eyes did not stop at Chen Mo, as if he was completely unfamiliar with him, and he continued to report the list of the next group.
Hearing Duan Tiannian's name, the surrounding inner disciples suddenly felt envious. The previously eliminated monk beat his chest and stamped his feet, complaining: "Oh my God, why didn't I come to meet Duan Tiannian? This guy is He is the weakest among the core disciples!"
"It's actually Duan Tiannian! Deacon Chen must be so lucky!!"
"Deacon Chen can't advance further against Duan Tiannian, so he can go find a piece of tofu and kill him!" A monk said a little jealously.
Although Chen Mo didn't know who Duan Tiannian was, judging from the longing reactions of most of the people, it was indeed what Zhang Siyuan said.
He made sure in his heart and calmly entered the ring. After a long time, a monk also walked out from the side of the purple-robed disciple.
This was a young man who seemed to be stunted. He was so thin that it seemed as if a gust of wind could knock him to the ground. He stepped onto the ring to face Chen Mo, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed, causing the entire crowd around the ring to fall. Everyone was startled and seemed to be wondering what this kid was up to.
"Hehehe... I have been practicing the Poison Code technique for twelve years, endured inhuman torture and pain, and finally achieved it three days ago. Today, let me, Duan Tiannian, challenge the best person on the Qianxun Ranking." All the heroes and elites from all walks of life!!”
After saying that, he violently tore off his left sleeve, revealing a thick arm surrounded by purple energy, which was in sharp contrast to the other normal arm. At the same time, his cultivation at the peak of Qi refining was no longer deliberate. Suppression, judging from the strength, it is no different from the monks on the Qianxun List!
The onlookers originally thought this was an overwhelming victory, but in just a few breaths, the situation reversed instantly, and the winning protagonist was about to become the opponent.
"Oh my god! The Great Perfection of Qi Refining!! This...is this person really the weakest among the core disciples?"
"Forget it!! I take back that sentence, Butler Chen, please show your best. Why is this Tian Nian more terrifying than the one I encountered?"
"Duan Tiannian has such a deep hidden plot. I'm afraid he was ranked last last time because of his sudden explosion this time! He won the Qianxun Ranking with the last score of a core disciple, completely shocking the Fuyun Sect!"
...
Among the crowd, there were many monks who saw Duan Tiannian's plan. The latter laughed again and said loudly: "That's right, Duan Tiannian had this idea today, so the kid opposite him should be wise and hurry up. Get down, I won’t really hurt you!”
Chen Mo smiled bitterly, why did he just reject the good luck, and then bad luck followed closely? This kind of thing could happen to him, but he didn't have any fear on his face and said calmly: "I hope your ability can be as great as your tone, let you make the first move!"
"I don't know how high the sky is! I will let my senior brother teach you a lesson today!"
Duan Tiannian's expression turned cold after hearing this. The moment the bell rang in the audience, his body rushed toward Chen Mo like a ghost. He had already discovered when he came on stage that this man was only at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. With his cultivation level, he must be able to easily capture his throat with one blow, to prove his crispness!
Chen Mo also moved at the same moment, and a bright light swept out from his waist in an instant. After Duan Tiannian saw clearly that it was a flying sword, his face changed with fright, and he rushed forward desperately, only the injured one was injured. It could have been him, and he quickly used his poisoned arm to block it forward, then circled in the air and jumped, his body twisted into a weird 180-degree posture.
The sword light fell slightly, and the opponent seemed not to be injured by the blow, which made Chen Mo slightly surprised. Then, countless subtle sword intentions appeared next to him. As he waved the sword, Countless sword intentions mixed with sword shadows rushed towards Duan Tiannian again!
This is the essence of the first level of Chen Mo's Qianxuan Escape Sword. Only when you swing the sword with sword intent and fall with the sword shadow can you remain invincible!
"Mist Poison Technique!"
Facing the fierce sword energy that was about to arrive in an instant, Duan Tiannian suddenly slapped the ground when he landed, and the purple mist that suddenly rose suddenly erupted from the ground. Not only that, along with the purple mist, there were also solid earth walls that blocked him instantly. The coming sword shadow and sword mark.
"Well done! I wonder if you can take my move again!"
Chen Mo saw that the first attack failed, and as he expected, he turned around and took out two more flying swords. Together with the previous one, he made a triangle shape. He made a hand seal with both hands and carved an obscure and difficult path in the air. The character he understood was the Lotus Destroying Ten Thousand Traces move he had used to deal with the demonized Feng Yulin before!
"Blue Dragon Seal!"
Even if this move was not performed, Duan Tiannian's senses could tell that it was a very powerful secret technique. His expression no longer looked as calm as before, but he shot a large cyan seal with unusual vigilance. , and quickly moved towards Chen Mo's three flying swords to suppress them.
The imposing four-dimensional seal suddenly fell hard in the air, and at this moment, Chen Mo's killer move had been brewing, and the sound of swishing through the air continued to spurt out from the blooming lotus. Dense sword marks hit the base of the Qinglong Seal magic weapon, causing scratches and wear one after another.
"Haha! You've been fooled, look at my move of Green Dragon Tail Swing!"
Duan Tiannian was not surprised but overjoyed when he saw this fierce attack. The color of the Qinglong Seal suddenly changed into a strange light blue under the one-handed seal. After that, the sword marks disappeared without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea. Even the spinning white lotus flower , was also sucked in by the huge suction coming from the Qinglong Seal!
"Not good!" Chen Mo said in his heart. This Qinglong Seal obviously has the effect of a rebound spell. I am afraid that he will face his own lotus destruction in the next moment!
"What?! What kind of magic weapon is this?!" The monks in the audience exclaimed. Originally, the two were evenly matched, but because of the addition of a magic weapon, the balance of victory instantly tilted to Duan Tiannian's side!
"It's over, Deacon Chen lost! He missed a move, and Duan Tiannian used the magic weapon first. This is going to be difficult!"
A monk who had taken over the task at the Peak of the Far North, Baicao Garden, said with stern words: "Not necessarily! I know Butler Chen. He has always been cautious and delicate in character, and he definitely has a magic weapon of protection to resist!"
"What's the use of that? The other party is a monk who has perfected Qi Refining. How could he let go of his embarrassing opportunity? I will definitely take this opportunity to win the competition!" A short monk said with a frustrated face.
Most of the people watching here were disciples who had failed in promotion before. Seeing that Chen Mo met the same end as them, they couldn't help but feel sad. This time the cultivator at the end of the core disciples was too strong! They are not even qualified to advance!
At the same time, the thick purple mist from the mist poison technique previously performed by Duan Tiannian filled the arena, giving the surrounding air a dizzying feeling.
No one could see clearly what was happening in the thick fog, but based on their thoughts, there was a restriction blocking the poisonous purple fog, and the overflowing gas was still unbearable for them, not to mention Chen Mo in the center of the ring, who was probably already trapped at this moment. Duan Tiannian must have been captured alive!
But at the next moment, a shocking scene appeared!
The thick fog was blown away by the wind coming from inside, revealing the true appearance of the arena. Chen Mo had already arrived in front of Duan Tiannian, and was holding his neck with a flying sword. As long as he moved a little, his head fell to the ground in an instant. .
The green dragon seal that intimidated Chen Mo fell alone not far away, and no one picked it up.
However, his face looked a little ugly. It seemed that he had inhaled a few mouthfuls of poisonous mist that made him dizzy during the fight, and he looked a little dazed.
Duan Tiannian, on the other hand, had a dull and confused look on his face, as if he couldn't believe that the result that he had been carefully planning for more than ten years ended just like the rabbit rising and the falcon falling.
"I lost?!"
Duan Tiannian leaned forward, and the cold sword brushed against his neck. The slight pain reminded him that this was not an illusion. The first step he took to take off was severely broken by Chen Mo. , and finally left sadly.
In sharp contrast to him, it was the exclamations that broke out after a brief silence in the audience. More than a dozen inner disciples immediately screamed in surprise.
"Oh my god!! Deacon Chen won!!!"
"It's incredible, he defeated the core disciple of Qi Refining Dzogchen!!"
No one needed to tell the winner personally, the situation was already clear. After the final bell rang, Chen Mo won and was successfully promoted to core disciple!
Chen Mo immediately put away the flying sword and quickly took out an antidote pill and drank it. Although he didn't reveal anything on the surface, he kept exclaiming in his heart that it was a good chance. This trip to the auction was really the right one.
If he hadn't summoned the magic weapon Flying Star Ruler unexpectedly at the critical moment and restrained Duan Tiannian's body, how would he have given him the opportunity to get closer with a quick shadow step? In the opponent's subconscious defensive counterattack, he used the most powerful weapon The final trump card of Shadow Erosion Heart Sword?
Both sides made mistakes in this battle. Chen Mo should have directly used Lian Mie Ten Thousand Traces. After the opponent fell into a defensive disadvantage, he then used a single sword to win. The opponent could not even take out the Azure Dragon Seal under pressure. The result was far better than the current result. Much more relaxed.
But Duan Tiannian was too anxious to win, missed the first move and was forced to counterattack. Otherwise, with his poisoned arms and many small spells that have not been cast yet, with the hard work of the poisonous mist and the Qinglong Seal, who will win? It’s really hard to say.
It's a pity that no one will give them a chance to do it again. While Chen Mo was reflecting on the mistakes he made this time, while dealing with the congratulations from the inner disciples, the excitement on his face could not be concealed.
Duan Tiannian took a deep breath, left the team of core disciples, and left Lingtong Mountain. After that, he had to move out of his current cave, and the loss he felt was not something outsiders could understand.
Such a massive move naturally attracted the attention of many core disciples. Seeing Duan Tiannian's defeat, a group of purple-robed monks looked solemn. It seems that in three years, some monks in the sect have experienced earth-shaking changes. Change, if some of them had gone up, they would not have been able to do well against this monk!
"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him in the sect before?"
"He is also a monk who has achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining! Otherwise, how could he take over Duan Tiannian's Blue Dragon Seal? It's really strange. Why was he not promoted three years ago and he had to wait until this time to become a core member?!"
Luo Feichen, who was in the discussion crowd, suddenly smiled and said as if to show off: "You guys don't know, this fellow Daoist Chen is my senior brother, let me tell you..."
Since Chen Mo returned to his cave shortly after the competition, he did not hear Luo Feichen's praise.
This has led to nearly half of the core disciples of the sect knowing that among the inner disciples, there is a character who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. His popularity is even higher than that of Ren Changyi, who was the first core disciple of the inner sect!
It is useless to rely on one person to say it. If Lin Yuqin, a core disciple, is added to verify it, it is really inseparable. Even if Chen Mo has never seen him take action, in the descriptions of the two of them, he is said to be the same. It has become an existence that can be compared with Gu Yao, Wan Qing and other famous monks at the peak of Qi refining for a long time.
This naturally aroused the disdainful looks of many core disciples. How dare a newcomer dare to compare himself to the experienced elites of the Qianxun List?
This also included a cultivator who had an admiration for Lin Yuqin. Hearing his sweetheart praise an unknown monk in such a way, he immediately looked ugly and secretly made up his mind that once this monk named Chen Mo challenges Qian Looking for the geniuses on the list, he would immediately knock them down to prove that Lin Yuqin was wrong!
He was not the only one who had the same idea. Many monks who wanted to measure Chen Mo's strength were eager to try, looking forward to tomorrow's ranking on the Qianxun Ranking.
"Crash!!"
Knowing that his reputation had spread, Chen Mo was so angry that he threw the jade slips on the table all over the floor late at night. Even Ye Lantian sent a message to congratulate him on his early momentum, which would surely skyrocket to a new level this time. Soaring into the sky.
"These two guys are doing bad things with good intentions!!"
Chen Mo sighed heavily. He originally planned to borrow their strength in the Forgotten Land to temporarily form a small team, but he didn't expect to be tricked by them at the beginning. Such a high profile was definitely not what Chen Mo wanted. This means that when he challenges the Qianxun Ranking, he will definitely gain many enemies for no reason.
"I could have had a good rest, Luo Feichen, Lin Yuqin, you two have really done me a lot of harm..."
Chen Mo smiled bitterly, picked up the jade slip after venting his anger, and carefully read the contents on it.
Cheng An summarized this through information channels. The magic weapons and their own spells used by the top 30 geniuses on the Qianxun List. If he really faced them, Chen Mo would not blindly catch them. And today Similar things happen.
Since he has deviated from the plan, Chen Mo simply goes with the flow and becomes a high-profile person, so as not to cause trouble for him after entering the Forgotten Land!
