Chapter 342 Battle for Spirit Island - First Round

Naturally, the drawing of the spirit lottery for the eleven foundation-building monks was very fast. After half a cup of tea, all the monks had a black spirit lottery in their hands. Except for one of the monks who was lucky enough to have a bye, the rest needed two or two. A round of battles is held, the loser is eliminated, and the winner advances.

On the black spiritual stick in Zhao Shoushou's hand, there is a big "three" marked on the back, and the three big characters HLD are on the back. This is the only evidence that he participated in the battle for the spirit island.

This spirit lottery is his passport to enter the ring. Once lost, he will be disqualified and be punished with a hundred middle-grade spirit stones. Its importance is self-evident.

"There are five rounds in total, and the third round is in the middle. You can have a basic understanding of the battle, and you have enough time to adjust your breath after the battle. It's a good position, but it's a pity that the luck is slightly inferior, and you can rub shoulders with the bye spirit lottery And pass." Zhao Shoushou was basically satisfied, but it was a pity when he talked about it later.

The monk who got the bye lottery was the one behind him. Unfortunately, this process was all about luck, and other things didn't have any effect.

The first round of competition on each spirit island basically ends within a day, and ten spirit islands can be used for battles every day. If everything goes well on the second-order low-grade spirit island, it will take at least six days. A slight delay in the middle can be delayed beyond ten days.

The battle between two monks with similar cultivation bases will not last too long, because the confrontation between the two sides will not last too long because of the consumption of mana.

On weekdays, if the two monks want to decide the winner smoothly, it obviously needs to consume more time, but on the small arena, there is not much room for moving around, so it is naturally greatly shortened.

The time of the night was fleeting, and from the early morning of the second day, with the rising sun, this battle for the Spirit Island officially kicked off.

The first batch of ten low-grade spirit islands of the second order, which are relatively inferior to the comprehensive conditions, officially kicked off. The targets for these spirit islands are mainly monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, and they are all on the first floor of foundation establishment, The second floor is the main one.

These monks are mainly casual cultivators and some small families and sects. It is a fluke to be able to build a foundation by exhausting all means, and some magical powers are really limited.

Some of them are a little bit shabby and even still use the first-level high-grade magic weapons as imperial envoys as a means of fighting against the enemy. Zhao Shoushou really can't figure it out. Where does their confidence come from?

Because of their limited strength, there are not many opportunities for a stalemate. Every battle ends very quickly. When these monks find themselves at a disadvantage, they will decisively choose to admit defeat and surrender.

According to the rules of the Lingdao battle, once the opponent admits defeat, he must not intentionally kill him, otherwise he will be disqualified on the spot.

The first day of the competition was generally peaceful. After all the competitions were over, only three monks fell on the ring.

The main reason is that there is too much difference in strength between the two sides, the weaker side has no chance to admit defeat at all, and has been turned into a pool of lifeless flesh and blood in the continuous attacks like a storm.

For most of the monks who don't know the real cruel inside story, they basically agree with this result. After all, where can monks guarantee a certain degree of safety?This also includes Zhao Shoushou.

However, the sudden escalation of intensity from the third day gave the monks present a new understanding. A total of 20 monks in the early and mid-term foundation establishment participated in the competition, and more than [-] of them fell on the ring, and most of the rest were also injured. .

Among them, many cultivators were relying on their superior skills to forcibly kill their opponents before they conceded defeat. The purpose was just to store the spoils in the storage bag.

It is precisely because of the existence of this group of extremely bloodthirsty and distorted monks that every battle for Spirit Island appears so bloody and terrifying.

"It's no wonder that the once-in-50-year battle for the Spirit Island has been turned into a grind of human flesh and blood. Only half of the monks can retire after each end." After seeing the true face of it, this is Zhao Shoushou's inner sigh.

In the next few days, instead of continuing to pay attention to the ongoing arena battle, his main energy began to check some scattered treasures on his body, preparing to use them in the upcoming battle.

A total of eleven monks participated in the second-tier mid-tier Gourd Spirit Island, and it took at least three rounds to determine the final winner. On the surface, there were no late-stage foundation-building monks among these opponents.

All the monks, including Zhao Shoushou, were able to kill the generals all the way, almost all of them stepped on the enemy's bones, and no one was easy to deal with.

Even though he is quite confident in his own strength, he dare not say that he can defeat all opponents and become the final winner.

However, Zhao Shoushou must ensure that he can save his life in the ring, and must not become a trophy in the hands of others. This is a bottom line that cannot be crossed.

In the busy preparations, time is always passing by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to the day when the first round of the battle for Hululing Island officially begins.

The comprehensive conditions of the Gourd Spirit Island are not too superior among the fifty second-order middle-grade Spirit Islands. If it were not for the existence of Gourd Seedlings, the ranking would be even lower.

Therefore, in the No. [-] arena on the third day, which is ranked in the second-tier mid-level spirit island competition, the higher the ranking, the better the potential in the same batch.

This point was obtained after a special comprehensive evaluation by many experienced monks in the Spirit Island Alliance, and its credibility is naturally beyond doubt.

"The first round of competition for Hulu Lingdao officially begins today. There is only one rule that after admitting defeat, you must not kill the killer, otherwise you will be disqualified on the spot. You must not make mistakes because of a little greed. The first round, please "The monk enters the arena" is in charge of supervising a late foundation-building monk from Nandi Gate.

After simply and emphatically emphasizing some basic rules, the first HLD competition officially began, and two monks, one fat and one thin, stepped onto the ring.

Every time the fat monk took a step forward, the fat all over his body was shaking non-stop. The relatively tight robe originally made people worry that he might not be able to withstand the pressure from all directions and collapse at any time.

What is more distinctive is the smiling face that is full of chrysanthemums and never stops, just like the Maitreya Buddha worshiped by Buddhist monks in the legend.

The other monk was in stark contrast. Apart from a thin layer of skin and flesh, there were only some protruding bones left on his body, especially an obviously disproportionately large head.

With a bitter expression, this skinny monk was almost comparable to some extremely rare ascetic monks. A rotten smell hit his nostrils, which was impressive and unforgettable for a while.

Those who have visions must have supernatural powers, which is also an important common sense in the cultivation world.

Chapter 343 Battle for Spirit Island - First Battle

Under normal circumstances in the realm of comprehension, the fighting power of the three types of people is far superior to that of monks of the same level. One: super fat people; two: dwarfs who have never developed short stature;

It is very difficult for these monks to embark on the road of practice, and it is quite difficult along the way. In the process, their willpower is also exercised in the same way. Whether it is spiritual consciousness or magic power, they are the best among monks of the same level .

Moreover, the skills they practice are quite rare, and the difficulty of cultivation is not low. Once they achieve something, they usually have some unexpected weirdness and the lethality is quite powerful.

During the first round of competition, a fat man who was obviously different from ordinary people and resembled Maitreya Buddha suddenly appeared, which was really surprising.

The other skinny man, who was like a hemp stick with only bones left, seemed likely to fall dead at any time with three steps and three shakes. Judging from the aura he exuded, he was also a formidable enemy that should not be underestimated.

"Tsk tsk tsk, strong players have strong players, today's battle must be very exciting." Seeing this scene, Zhao Shoushou not only did not have the slightest intention to back down, but showed a feeling of eagerness to try.

When hunting monsters in the open sea, although he has always been cautious and avoided all kinds of dangers as much as possible, but this does not mean that he is afraid of fighting.

As a casual cultivator, there are very few opportunities to participate in ring battles. Zhao Shoushou has always wanted to try this relatively ancient method.

Even if Zhao Shoushou didn't have today's battle for Spirit Island, he still had to go to the arena of Nandi Gate to try it out. Fighting against strong enemies in such a narrow range would also be of great help to a monk's potential.

"A certain surname is Liu Mingxiao, from Qingcong Island, his strength is limited, please be merciful, fellow daoist," the big fat man said with a smile on his face, panting like a mortal with no cultivation base.

"Cultivator Wu Wei, if you want to save your life and surrender immediately, blood will be drawn when the weapon is unsheathed, don't make mistakes." The thin man's response was quite cold.

One is fat and the other is thin. Not only are there huge differences in body shape, but even temperament is completely different. It's just that the real situation is a matter of opinion.

"The first match of the first round of the Gourd Lingdao competition officially begins." The monk who also served as the referee shouted loudly, and a transparent color mask slowly rose to completely cover the entire arena.

These seemingly simple masks were uniformly arranged by Nandimen Jindan stage monks, and they were enough to deal with the battles of all foundation building stage monks.

The "Yin Yin" mask had just come down, but the fat man who was staggering was showing unprecedented agility. A dazzling cold light flashed from his waist and abdomen, and a luxurious big knife carved with complex patterns had already broken out. Pointing directly at the neck of casual cultivator Wu Wei.

This spiritual weapon is obviously different from the ordinary broadsword shape. There is no handle as far as the eye can see. The length of the blade is more than two meters, and the width of the thickest part is comparable to that of a fist.

When this special sword-shaped spiritual weapon appeared, the light it carried had already created a lot of movement. Judging from its power, ordinary spiritual weapons must be unstoppable.

"Hey, hey, playing big swords in front of Old Wu is really asking for death." The monk Wu Wei, who was as skinny as a stick, didn't take it to heart at all.

I saw his ten fingers swinging at the same time, and ten palm-sized small knives burst out of the air, resisting the thick knives coming from different directions.

If we simply look at the size of the spiritual weapons on both sides, they are not on the same level at all, and what kind of consequences will be caused by any movement or stillness is always exciting.

Naturally, the competition between the two monks on the ring would not stop easily. Regardless of the outcome between the large and small knife-shaped spiritual weapons, it did not have much impact on the progress of the battle.

On the surface, it seems that the movement and influence between them are very large, but no matter from which aspect, this is just an initial temptation.

"Dangdangdangdang" it was too late to say it, and in the blink of an eye, the spiritual weapons and big knives on both sides had already started to contact head-on, and the first three small knives were easily knocked into the air like a mantis arm serving as a cart, and the only effect they played was to slow down the opponent's speed.

However, starting from the fourth small knife, the situation obviously began to change. Each small knife can be hit at different positions, and from the eighth knife onwards, the seemingly invincible big knife was actually gradually repelled.

"Fellow Daoist Wu is really good. I admire the superb driving of a set of flying knives." For a moment, the smile on the fat man's face stagnated, obviously not satisfied with the result.

Before the words were finished, the remaining two flying knives that still carried a lot of power attacked his neck and dantian respectively. Although he knew it was the end of his bow, he still couldn't be underestimated in the slightest.

But the fat man obviously didn't see it that way. When the flying knife struck, his stretched skin showed a strange red color.

Under the blessing of this special power, the soft skin became hard, and the second-order middle-grade throwing knife was unable to break through its strong defense, leaving two red marks in vain.

With the end of the temptation, the attack power of the two mid-stage foundation-building monks, one fat and one thin, continued to increase, and various methods of suppressing the bottom of the box also appeared one after another.

For a time, there were all kinds of talismans, spirit spells, array flags, spirit beasts, etc., and all kinds of colorful lights burst out one after another.

Even if it is the array defense arranged by Jindan cultivator himself, it can't stop the violent explosion between the two sides. In this level of battle, the two sides have obviously reached the critical moment of decisive victory.

In order to win the final victory as soon as possible, the skinny monk Wu Wei of "Jiujiu" released a pair of second-level low-grade flying spirit beasts, which like to eat all kinds of rotting meat-eating vultures.

At this time, the fat man was panting and his face was pale, as if he had reached the verge of failure, but if he looked carefully, a small bump suddenly appeared on the originally hard ring under his feet and disappeared in a flash.

"Fall, fall, if you don't fall now, when will the baby come back quickly?" In the blink of an eye, a kind of expression appeared on the face of the skinny monk who had been attacking violently like a torrential rain. With a strange expression, he immediately fell dead on the ring.

After the fat man murmured a call, a pair of black mysterious shadows wrapped tightly around his arms, and a close battle came to an end in this strange way.

In the second battle, the two mid-stage foundation-building monks came from two small sects. After a fierce battle, one of the monks from the Binjiang faction finally gained the upper hand.

"The third battle of the first round of Hulu Lingdao begins." Just after noon, Zhao Shoushou appeared on the ring, and his opponent was a rare Buddhist monk.

I saw that the face of the monk in Buddhist robes on the opposite side was all solemn and dignified, and his Buddhist staff was very majestic. His cultivation should be of the Angry King Kong school, but he didn't understand why Buddhist monks who have always practiced asceticism would appear in the On the ring?

Chapter 344 Battle for Spirit Island – The Betrayer

Buddhism is famous for its various rules and precepts. Its main forces are basically gathered in the barren west to suppress the leylines, and the remaining small parts are mainly distributed in Buddhist temples in various places.

These Buddhist temples are basically established in places of spiritual veins, and most of the monks and novice monks will not leave the temple easily, except for some ascetic monks whose purpose is to exercise their will.

The resources needed by Buddhist monks in the process of cultivation are basically obtained through the donations of believers. They basically do not lack resources and generally do not participate in various competitions.

Another point is that Buddhism pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect. It will not easily participate in various actions that may generate hatred and resentment. The Battle of Lingdao is undoubtedly on the list of prohibited participation.

What's more, apart from chatting with some ascetic monks who happened to pass by in the overseas cultivation world, it is rare to see Buddhist monks. It is probably the first time in history to participate in the battle for Lingdao.

Buddhism has become a complete system alone, with 720 major supernatural powers and [-] small supernatural powers, each of which cannot be underestimated.

Every monk who is allowed to walk outside has successfully broken through the [-] bronze arhat formations, and his combat power is far beyond that of monks of the same rank.

In the realm of comprehension, most monks have some fears about this group of relatively special existences, and they would definitely not want to fight against bald monks unless they have to.

These many fearful monks naturally included Zhao Shoushou, but today's battle for Lingdao happened to be a scene where they were determined not to give in, and a desperate battle between the two monks should be inevitable.

Of course fear is not the same as fear. As a monk who is constantly moving forward, he only has awe in his heart. When he meets a narrow road, the brave wins. No matter what kind of powerful enemy he faces, he will never back down in the slightest.

"Namo Amitabha, the old monk benefits everyone. This time I came overseas not for myself, but for all sentient beings. If fellow Taoists are willing to help, the Buddha will definitely bless you." The face of compassion is still not affected in the slightest.

"The Buddha has always been merciful and kind to others. He never wanted to take advantage of others. Dare I ask Master Huizhong if he is right?" Zhao Shoushou's rhetorical question was quite sharp.

"Namo Amitabha, since fellow Taoists don't want to give in, we can only compete against each other on the ring." The monk Huizhong gave the Buddha's name and before the end, the Zen stick in his hand had already broken through the air.

At the same time, two rays of Buddha's light flashed out behind its huge round head that constantly reflected light, forming a khaki light mask on the monk Huizhong's body, which is just a kind of small Buddhist supernatural power.

However, its specific power can only be understood after the final trial. Even if it is the same small supernatural power, different monks have different levels of comprehension and thinking, and the power is also quite different.

The buddhist monk who was hostile to Zhao Shoushou immediately showed different powers in one attack and one defense, showing his solid cultivation. He was not weak among the same level, and even surpassed the fat man who performed outstandingly in the first round .

"One move with both offense and defense is truly exquisite. Such a simple move may not be enough to gain some advantage from someone like Zhao." Zhao Shoushou hadn't finished speaking when the Moon Breaker Shovel was already facing the enemy, ready to give the enemy a head-on blow , Fatal blow.

The quality of this trophy, obtained by accident back then, is still excellent in the same rank, and it is especially good at breaking defenses and frontal resistance. At this time, it can be regarded as a match for the opponent and a good talent for entanglement with the Buddhist staff. Win or lose.

The frontal collision between the two spiritual weapons was quite astonishing, and the force of the counterattack caused waves of waves around them.

The collision between these two spiritual weapons was somewhat different from the previous two battles. This time, nothing else was mixed in, it was purely a double contest of pure strength and mana between the two.

"It hurts so much, it's been a long time for the monk to have such a fierce battle, let's drink a jar of wine to celebrate." The monk Huizhong was quite satisfied.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid it's not a Buddhist monk, right?" During this blow, he also discovered something unexpected, that there was a special flavor hidden in the original pure Buddhist magic power of the opponent.

The reason why Buddhism is said to be a very special existence in the world of comprehension is also due to its strict requirements for its own purity, whether it is cultivation or spirit.

Once there is any flaw in the two aspects, it must be purified by a monk with a higher level of cultivation. This so-called purification is actually at the cost of damaging the potential of the monk's own cultivation.

Other than that, there is only one way left to escape from the Buddhist sect. These monks will be pursued by the Buddhist sect for life, and the chance of surviving is not high. These people are also called "rebels from the Buddha".

The fact that the traitor was able to escape to the overseas practice world under the siege of many Buddhist monks has proved his strong strength, and he also understands the cruelty of this battle. If he wants to win, it may not be too difficult.

"Now that I have recognized the true nature of the Buddha, I can save my life by surrendering quickly. How about awarding a tiny island as a place to live after the war?" The attitude of the monk Huizhong changed quite quickly.

"Subjugate the enemy without fighting? What's the point of a dog that loses its family? Today Zhao is cleaning up the traitors for Buddhism." After knowing the details of the other party, he let go of all his fears and cares.

In addition to the above-mentioned shortcomings, the biggest advantage of Buddhism is to protect its weaknesses. It is not an easy matter to kill a Buddhist foundation-building monk rashly.

But now this question or problem does not exist, and assisting the Buddhist sect to kill a traitor to Buddhism will not only not attract his hatred, but even gain the friendship of the Buddhist sect.

All the doubts in my heart were gone, and all the consequences were of course reflected in the power and frequency of the attack. He only heard a long cry, and the newly comprehended water-controlling beast spirit technique immediately attacked.

With the assistance of sufficient one-yuan heavy water, more than ten sea wolves appeared in response. They were covered with snow-white wolf fur and sharp teeth, so that no one would doubt their combat effectiveness at all.

"Aw!" accompanied by bursts of howling wolves, these amphibious water wolves biting at the monk Huizhong from different directions, and the water diversion fork, which had never shown up, turned into a stream of light and hid in it, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Since the monk Huizhong was able to break through the siege and come to the overseas practice world under the interception of many Buddhist monks, his strength is second to none, and he will naturally not wait for his crazy attack.

The two Buddha lights behind his head, which had never moved except for defense, suddenly turned into bronze figures holding iron bars, forming a special formation of bronze figures with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Chapter 345 Battle for Spirit Island – Miserable Victory

The Eighteen Arhats Bronze Man Formation is a famous special formation in Buddhism that integrates offense and defense, and it has no special requirements for the cultivation of the monks. The power of the formation is directly proportional to the monks who form the formation.

For example, the power of an formation mainly composed of monks in the Qi refining period is naturally limited to the Qi refining period, and the formation of bronze figures composed of monks in the foundation building period will basically not exceed the foundation building period.
