Jiang Yun looked around and found that there were many people coming to compete. There were already more than 300 people, either meditating, chatting, or communicating with their spiritual pets. Since this fighting platform is huge, it doesn't feel crowded at all.
Jiang Yun also found a corner to meditate. I began to observe the classmates around me and found that those participating in the competition were basically at level 12 or above during the Qi training period.
Jiang Yun could understand the reason just by thinking about it.
Xiaobi can only get rewards if he enters the top 100. Monks who are unsure will not come to participate.
After all, fighting is not a sporting event in previous lives. Fighting is extremely dangerous, and if you just lose some magic weapons and beasts, that's it. If you are seriously injured and your foundation is damaged, it will affect your life's path, and even your cultivation will regress.
Only Jiang Yun and another junior brother participated in Heisha Peak this time.
That's right, Jiang Yun's master has accepted another disciple, who is said to be a child of a certain cultivation family. The third senior brother and the fourth senior brother did not participate.
In previous years, as long as the top 100 people were ranked in the competition, they would get 200 contribution points as a reward, and the top 50 people would each get 400 contribution points. Each of the top 10 will receive a Foundation Building Pill. The top three each get a beast-controlling card, but I heard that the top three also have other benefits.
It is said that in addition to the elders who are closed to life and death, other elders and heads will come to watch. Even the supreme elders of the Nascent Soul Stage may come to watch.
Gradually, the time came to noon. The Qingxuan Cauldron high in the sky emits a burst of white light.
A middle-aged monk wearing gray robes appeared in the air, and the Qingxuan Cauldron had turned into a small palm-sized cauldron floating on the man's palm.
"Listen up, participating disciples. I, Lan Junyan, serve as the leader of our sect. Noon has arrived and registration for the competition has ended. A total of 487 people have signed up this time."
"Now your identity jade tags have numbers displayed. Disciples with numbers within 100 will compete in this arena.
Go to the northern arena from 101 to 200, and go to the southern arena from 201 to 300. From 301 to 400, go to the Eastern Arena, and from 401 onwards, go to the Western Arena. "
Jiang Yun looked at his jade plaque and found that the number 9 had appeared on it.
After seeing Jiang Yun's jade token, some nearby monks began to take care of him carefully. Some monks even looked solemn.
Jiang Yun was a little confused.
After the leader finished speaking, he waved one hand, and the four huge floating arenas began to slowly move closer to the arena directly below, and finally stopped in the four directions.
Then the leader flew to the fourth floor of the tea house. Jiang Yun saw his master and Master Jiang also on the fourth floor of the teahouse.
The master seemed to have noticed Jiang Yun's gaze and turned to look at Jiang Yun. Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun quickly bowed.
"Oh? Number 9, yes, yes, if you get in the top ten, I will give you another reward as your teacher!"
Jiang Yun recognized the voice of the master and quickly bowed to the teahouse again. At the same time, I also became confused, does the whole number have any special meaning?
At this time, a young monk in white robes flew to the middle of the ring. The jade medal around his waist was white, which was very special.
Jiang Yun understood that this person was a monk from the leader's lineage. The white identity jade plaque is exclusive to the head of the family.
Only monks who have reached the foundation building stage and have never joined any peak can join the sect leader's lineage.
Important positions such as the law enforcement hall and notaries within the gate are all held by monks from the same lineage as the leader. This person is the referee of this arena.
In contrast, the Beast Valley and Ten Thousand Insect Cave within the gate are jointly managed by the top three peaks. This may also be a kind of balance of power within the sect.
The white-robed monk said loudly. "Disciples numbered 1 and 100 please come up to the stage, and everyone else please step back a hundred steps away."
As soon as he finished speaking, a monk flew his sword to the ring. However, another monk was not seen taking the stage for a long time. The notary shouted again, waited for three breaths, and then announced his abstention.
Soon the second round, the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round. . The rounds started quickly and ended quickly.
But what Jiang Yun wondered was why so many people gave up. Finally it was Jiang Yun's turn.
"Number 9 and number 92 come on stage."
Jiang Yun used the Qingling Flying Sword and flew to the ring. At the same time, a female nun also fell on the stage.
The female cultivator entered the ring and began to look at Jiang Yun. He opened his mouth and said:
"My fellow Taoist must have used some kind of Qi-condensing technique. If I can get the number 9 even at the tenth level of the Qi training stage, I'm afraid it will be a joke for me to practice for so many years!"
Jiang Yun seemed to realize something after hearing this, and asked, "I wonder what this senior sister means by this?"
The female cultivator was not impatient and explained. "This number is the ranking made by Qingxuan Cauldron based on the spiritual power of the monks. Although it cannot be said to be absolutely correct, it can be used as a certain reference."
After hearing this, Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and secretly thought that his plan of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger was gone. Then he stopped using Qi Condensation Technique. Restored the 12th level of cultivation during the Qi training period.
Upon seeing this, the notary monk announced the start of the game.
"Roar!!"
The female cultivator took action first, patting the spirit beast bag, and a black leopard-shaped spirit beast appeared on the stage. The spirit beast roared, turned into a black shadow and sprinted towards Jiang Yun. The female cultivator also made a hand seal, and a stone cone formed in an instant and attacked Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun waved his sleeves, and the black gold shield and two green spirit flying swords flew out from his sleeves. The black gold shield was protected in front of him, and the two green spirit flying swords attacked the leopard-shaped spiritual beast.
At the same time, he made a hand seal, and a thick vine appeared from Jiang Yun's side, sweeping towards the stone cone like a python. He easily shattered the stone cone and continued to attack the female cultivator.
At this time, the two flying swords had already collided with the leopard-shaped spirit. The spirit beast's claws condensed black spiritual power. One of the flying swords was knocked away with one claw, but at this time the other flying sword flew towards its waist.
"clang"
I saw that the long tail of this spiritual beast suddenly lengthened by nearly half, exuding a metallic color, like a long black whip whipping away a flying sword.
With a deep roar, the black spiritual power surged all over the Spirit Leopard's body, turning into a black light and running quickly towards Jiang Yun. The flying sword was unable to catch up with its speed for a while.
Jiang Yun did not stop the spell and continued to control the vines to attack the female cultivator. But at the same time, he kept inputting spiritual power into the black gold shield. The black gold shield grew twice in size, and his spiritual power also strengthened a lot.
"Dang" "Dang"
The black gold shield was suspended in the path that the spirit beast must pass, blocking the opponent's attack.
The spirit beast wanted to attack from another direction, but due to Jiang Yun's precise control of the black gold shield, he frequently blocked it and the black panther could not get close.
With the help of two flying swords, Black Panther was entangled. Jiang Yun took the opportunity to distance himself from Black Panther.
At this time, Jiang Yun's spiritual vine technique was already one step away from the female cultivator.
The other party took out a rope-like magic weapon from the storage bag, and after offering it, it flew towards the spirit vine. In the end, the two entangled each other in a wrestling match, and it was temporarily impossible to tell the winner.
Seeing the female cultivator concentrating on controlling the magic weapon, Jiang Yun thought: "I got it!"
"Boom!"
I saw a thick vine springing out from the ground beside the female cultivator's feet, entangling the female cultivator in an instant.
The female cultivator was startled and stopped controlling the magic weapon. Another vine then broke away from the rope-like magic weapon and attacked the female cultivator. Finally, the two vines completely wrapped the female cultivator.
The Black Panther was very anxious when he saw this. Although he wanted to rescue, he was entangled in two flying swords and could not escape.
"Number 9 wins." After a few seconds, the notary monk announced Jiang Yun's victory.
Jiang Yun immediately lifted the spell and took back the magic weapon.
As the spirit vine technique dissipated, the female cultivator squatted on the ground with a pale face.
Her black panther spirit beast also ran back to her and licked her cheek. After a while, the female cultivator slowly stood up and saluted Jiang Yun with her fists clasped, and then left the ring.
Although the Spirit Vine Technique is only a control spell, when the opponent is entangled, the wood attribute spiritual power of the spell will continue to corrode the opponent. In order to resist the erosion, the opponent consumes a large amount of spiritual power.
The opponent's spiritual power was running low at this time, and the notary's uncle also observed this before declaring Jiang Yun the winner.
