Practice!
After calculating the plan, Gu Shuo began to practice.
The next three days were very busy for everyone. The monks who were going to participate in the second round were busy practicing, while those who were eliminated, as well as the monks who came with Sun Yi and others, were busy participating in various exchange meetings and auctions. In particular, Sun Yi and Bei Wushuang were a little drifting and swollen.
Gu Shuo also went to an auction, but didn't buy anything. At his current level, and with a large treasure of the White Bone Sect, he really didn't need anything except the Water and Fire Spirit Stone. Therefore, after he went there once, he never went out again and stayed in Huangyuan to practice.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and everyone came to the central square again to participate in the second round of qualification assessment.
Some people have begun to pay attention to Gu Shuo, and some people have passed the examination by buying Gu Shuo in the casino. Although there were not many people buying it and not placing many bets, it showed that Gu Shuo was beginning to be recognized a little bit by the monks from the five places.
Six hundred and ten Jindan entered the ring and each found a place to sit cross-legged. In another ring, six hundred and ten fusions did the same.
Then a rich spiritual energy suddenly emerged from the small world magic weapon in the arena, and each monk began to practice. Some of the great monks on the high platform began to observe the speed at which the monks on the two arenas absorbed spiritual energy. Based on their realm, they could actually tell it in just one breath. However, they still gave these monks an hour, which was considered a benefit given to these monks by the Tianmeng.
All the monks know that they are practicing actively. Even if they are eliminated, this is still an opportunity.
Therefore, a strange scene soon formed on the arena. A spiritual vortex formed around almost everyone's body, like tornadoes surrounding themselves, frantically absorbing the rich spiritual energy.
Why do you say it’s almost every monk?
Because only one person did not have a spiritual energy vortex formed around his body.
Moreover, that person was very calm and did not look depressed at all. He was also practicing there.
This is Gu Shuo!
Looking at the spiritual energy whirlpool around him, Gu Shuo is now very calm because he is used to his qualifications. Although he is also practicing, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is not good enough.
If you don't have the qualifications, you just can't do it.
Crowds of people watched the monks, with disdain on their faces. Some shook their heads slightly, and some talked loudly.
"Who is that person? What kind of rubbish qualifications are there? Everyone else has formed a whirlpool of spiritual energy, and everything is calm on his side, even if there is some turmoil at the beginning."
"That person is very unfamiliar. When I think about his game, I seem to have an impression."
"Don't think about it, that one is Gu Shuo from the North."
"Gu Shuo?"
"Yes, he burned to ashes, and I recognize him too."
"What's wrong with him? He hates you so much."
"He made me lose. In the first round, I bet on Zhang Lingshan to win. All my net worth, ugh..."
"Tsk, tsk, with such rubbish qualifications, how did he master the golden elixir?"
"I guess he encountered some kind of opportunity. Think about it, 609 of these 610 people are in the late stage of the Golden Core at worst, right? He is the only one who is at the fifth level of the Golden Core. As far as the opportunity he encountered, for example How can a person have perfect golden elixir, right?"
"It's a pity. It's a pity that the opportunity was given to him."
An hour passed quickly, and Gu Shuo was naturally eliminated. Gu Shuo was not surprised at all.
Then……
His face turned dark!
Because when it was announced that he was eliminated, many people cheered.
Then he understood from the cheers of those people that those people were the ones who bet on Zhang Lingshan to win in the first round and then lose the spirit stone.
Gu Shuo's heart is balanced.
They lost the spiritual stone, but they won the spiritual stone. Those people are just a bunch of unlucky people, don't care about them.
The challenge is on.
Gu Shuo has been keeping an eye on one person for a long time. When others were taking the assessment, they were practicing nervously and activating their skills desperately, for fear that he would be eliminated. But Gu Shuo knew that he would definitely be eliminated, so he was not so serious. Instead, he was observing those people. Through the speed of those people absorbing spiritual energy, he also judged the other nine people who were eliminated, and then he looked at those who had not. The eliminated people's information flashed through their minds and found one person, ranked last among the remaining 600 people. It's called Wei Hong.
Therefore, when the challenge was announced, the nine eliminated people were still frustrated. Gu Shuo was the first to rush onto the ring, and then said to Wei Hong:
"I challenge Wei Hong."
The remaining nine people reacted immediately. Wei Hong's information was quickly recalled in their minds, and then their eyes turned red.
This gave Gushuo Gushuo a head start!
Wei Hong's eyes were also red, and his face was filled with murderous intent.
Judging from Gu Shuo's eagerness to rush to the ring, he was treating him as a weakling, for fear that he would be snatched away by others. However, he was relieved in his heart. It was better to challenge Bie Gushuo than to be challenged by others. As long as you defeat Gu Shuo, others can no longer challenge you, and you will be safe.
"Whoosh!"
He rushed into the ring, looked at Gu Shuo and sneered: "Gu Shuo, I will not be as big-hearted and brainless as Zhang Lingshan and give you a chance. I will go all out from the beginning. What you have to do is not to welcome failure. But to welcome death, are you ready to die?"
Gu Shuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Tianxuan Competition does not allow death, but this kind of death can be divided into two types, one is the inability to hold back, and the other is the intention to kill. Intentionally kill the other person.
It was obvious that Wei Hong had murderous intentions towards him now. Since you have murderous intentions, don't blame me when I kill you.
"Qiang!"
The two men drew their swords at the same time and charged towards each other. As soon as the two sides fought, Gu Shuo's heart skipped a beat.
Wei Hong came from the Yunhai Sect in the west, and he also understood Yun Yi. Gu Shuo had read his information and said that Yun Yi Xiaocheng was a small success, but at this time he discovered that the other party was actually Yun Yi Dacheng. Moreover, the opponent's Yunhai Step and Yunhai Sword were obviously higher in grade than his Qingyun Step and Qingyun Sword.
The Qingyun Steps and Qingyun Sword currently used by Gu Shuo were immediately suppressed by the opponent.
Yun Yi is both a great achiever, but the opponent's Yun Hai Step and Yun Hai Sword are higher than Gu Shuo's Taoism. If Gu Shuo hadn't opened the tenth level of elixir, he would have been defeated at this time.
Gu Shuo relied on the basic strength of the tenth level of Kaidan to withstand the opponent's attack. Gu Shuo felt a little entangled in his heart.
If he fully reveals his basic strength of the tenth level of Dankai, he can withstand the opponent's attack, and because the opponent's cultivation of Yi and Dao are the same as his own, this is a good opportunity to hone, not to mention it has great potential. He has the opportunity to achieve perfection in his Yun Yi, and he also has the opportunity to learn from the other party's Taoism and improve his own Qingyun Taoism. However, that would make others see how strong his basic strength is, and he would be considered to be at the ninth level of Kaidan. In this way, if you want to continue betting to earn spiritual stones in the future, the odds will be much smaller.
Then end the battle quickly, right?
tread……
Gu Shuo kicked on the ring and retreated quickly. Wei Hong chased after him. The Yun Hai Bu was faster than Gu Shuo's Qing Yun Bu. The Yun Hai Sword burst out into a sea of clouds and flooded Gu Shuo.
Gu Shuo's fingers are played continuously.
"Dangdangdang..."
Three bells rang on Wei Hong's head in succession, and Wei Hong's mind fell into a trance for a moment. A figure passed by him, and then he felt the world spinning, and a head fell to the ground.
The central square was just silent.
No one thought that Gu Shuo would win. After the first round, they all analyzed in detail that the reason why Gu Shuo defeated Zhang Lingshan was because Zhang Lingshan underestimated the opponent. Therefore, everyone believed that Gu Shuo was defeated and even lost his life. But he didn't expect this result, and the battle ended so quickly.
Is this still a monk from the North?
Is this still the same Gu Shuo with rubbish qualifications just now?
Gu Shuo jumped off the ring and walked towards the Northland monks. Following his steps, tens of thousands of eyes focused on him, moving with his movements.
Gu Shuo couldn't bear it. He didn't want to be the center of attention, so he came to the Northland monk and said, "Senior Sun, Sect Master, I'm going back first."
"Um!"
Sun Yi was very calm and they were prepared for this result. If others don’t understand Gushuo, don’t the northern monks understand Gushuo?
Gu Shuo went back alone and immediately started practicing. Not long after, I heard the noise outside. Gu Shuo stopped his work and stood up, pushed the door open and walked out, and saw Sun Yi coming back with everyone. Xiang Gujun laughed and ran towards Gu Shuo, punching Gu Shuo on the shoulder:
"Gu Shuo, I passed the test."
"We passed the test too!" Liang Wei, Hua Su, Hao Nantian, Yun Shen and Zhuo Tianyue came over.
Gu Shuo was overjoyed: "Great. Another historic breakthrough. We have two rounds of travel."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed happily.
"No one challenges you?" Gu Shuo thought it was impossible.
"Of course!" Zhuo Tianyue smiled and said, "But we defeated them all."
"Awesome!" Gu Shuo gave a thumbs up, this time he was really happy. The Northland has experienced the catastrophe of clan war this time, but it may also rise through this.
At the same time, the people in charge of Tianmeng Casino gathered together again and were still focusing on studying Gu Shuo. Opinions are being exchanged.
"Gu Shuo withstood Wei Hong's first wave of attacks. Is it possible that he is at the ninth level of Kaidan?"
"It's possible, but it's also possible that it's the eighth level of Kaidan. After all, it's just the first wave, and the time is too short. But it seems that his sound skills are very powerful, and his winning odds need to be changed."
"How much should it be changed to?"
"His most powerful skills are his murderous intent and sound skills. He used them directly in two consecutive games, which shows that they are his highest combat power. If this is the case, he will not go far. But he cannot take it lightly. Let's give up his championship. The rate is changed to one to one hundred."
"agree!"
"agree!"
"What about the single game in the third round?"
The leading monk looked through the information because he was eliminated in terms of qualifications, and only one of the ten eliminated people succeeded in the challenge. He is ranked 600th.
The rules of the competition are still divided into upper and lower levels. The first three hundred are one level, and the last three hundred are one level. The first place will fight the 301st place. The 300th place versus the 600th place. Gu Shuo's opponent is Bi Tianyun of Nankun Sect in the south.
Bi Tianyun, the eighth level of golden elixir, master of fire intention, ninth level of open elixir, practiced flame spear and flame palm. The most important thing is that he can also do music. There are five holes on the head of the flame gun, which will emit sound during combat.
This is not a win for Gu Shuo, but the result of my analysis should be 20%, while Bi Tianyun holds 80%.
"I don't think it's appropriate. Gu Shuo now uses Qingyun Palm Sword, Qingyun Step, Sound Skill, and Killing Intent. But he hasn't used Tai Chi and Dahuang Sword yet. I think Gu Shuo also has a 30% chance of winning. What do you think?"
Several people analyzed it back and forth for a while, and finally agreed that Gu Shuo had a 30% chance of winning.
"In this case, let's adjust Gu Shuo's single game to pay five to one. Let Huang Cheng go to Huangyuan to see if Beidi will still place bets this time?"
"As long as they dare to place bets, we will earn back the spiritual stones they won last time. Are our spiritual stones so easy to win?"
"They will definitely make a bet. They have already made a profit. How can they hold back?"
"Hahaha……"
Yellow Garden.
There was no partying this time, but Sun Yi once again spent five million low-grade spiritual stones to order a meal. While eating, they discussed how much to bet. Because Gu Shuo said again that he could win.
Huang Cheng is here.
As soon as he entered the door, he raised his hands and congratulated: "Congratulations, congratulations, fellow Taoists, for entering the third round. I wish you all the best for entering the fourth round and finally entering the Tianmeng."
"I'm borrowing your good words." Sun Yi said with a smile: "Come, sit down and have something to eat."
"Okay, then I'm welcome. I'll be a little happy."
Huang Cheng also sat down with a smile. He was friendly and well-mannered. In less than two quarters of an hour, he seemed to be old friends with these monks from Beidi.
"How are you, little friend Gu? Are you confident in the third round?"
"Of course there is, what's the point of not having confidence!" Gu Shuo said with a smile.
Huang Cheng's eyes lit up: "So, are you ready to place a bet?"
"certainly!"
When placing bets, Gu Shuo would not be low-key, not even low-key. When you place such a big bet, even if you are low-key, you won't be able to be low-key.
"How much?" Huang Cheng's eyes flashed.
"What are my odds for the third round?" Gu Shuo's eyes flashed.
"One pays five." Huang Cheng stretched out a slap.
Gu Shuo's eyes showed disappointment: "Why did you fall so hard?"
"This is already very high, okay?" Huang Chengzhen said: "Among the six hundred monks, you have the highest odds. Oh, by the way, your odds of winning have also been reduced."
"How much is it now?"
"One hundred for one."
"This... it's going to drop even more!"
Huang Cheng spread his hands: "Who let you enter the third round? Just like that, you also have the highest odds. You defeated Wei Hong cleanly."
"Okay, I'll bet on a single game in the third round."
"How much is the deposit?"
"I'm still betting on the water and fire spirit stones, so you should pay the water and fire spirit stones as compensation, right?"
"right!"
"Then I'll bet 300 million each on the water and fire spirit stones." Gu Shuo handed over a storage ring.
"Wha...what?"
"no?"
