[Xiu Xian] The ninth generation

Two days after Chu Yanzhi came back, the competition officially kicked off.

When the first ray of sunlight fell into Zichong Peak, the center of the square on the side of the mountain that was turned into a competition venue was already crowded with people. Almost all the disciples of Zaizong came here. Presumably, they didn't want to miss this grand event that occurs every three years.What's more, this time the big competition is more grand, and the prizes are more generous: each of the top fifteen can get a Foundation Establishment Pill and a spiritual-level magic weapon, and the grade of the magic weapon will be determined according to the performance of the big competition. Calculate.Moreover, according to the rumors, once one of the fifteen places is successfully entered, even if he cannot become a true disciple, as long as he sells the things in the secret realm to the sect at a discount, there is a very high possibility of getting the foundation establishment pill again.

Foundation Establishment Pill is a necessary elixir for monks to break through the Qi Refining Stage and successfully advance to Foundation Establishment.Although Foundation Establishment Pills can increase the success rate, it doesn't mean that breakthroughs are guaranteed, nor does it mean that breakthroughs cannot be achieved without relying on Foundation Establishment Pills. —— Rumor has it that some top genius monks often open up the meridians of the whole body through their own true energy, and then build their foundations.

Chu Yanzhi said that his talent is neither outstanding nor has any possibility of winning the world, so it is a point to increase his strength as soon as possible.This foundation building pill, even if the more you take it, the effect will become weaker, the more the better.

The big score is divided into three levels: the first is the knockout match, the second is the melee match, and the third is the defending match.In the knockout round, about two-thirds of the contestants will be eliminated. In the melee competition, a final winner will be selected in each arena to participate in the defending competition. Only those who defend the arena will be considered the final winner.

The sky gradually brightened, and the head of the sect, the elders, and core figures soon arrived. After the elder in charge announced the start of the competition, the disciples who signed up were drawn in order, and were assigned to different (50 in total) divisions in turn. arena.There are more than 11 disciples in each arena, Chu Yanzhi was drawn to No. 39 in the fifth arena, and faced off with No. [-].

NO.15 arena.

No. 50 and NO.[-] soon fought together.

The cultivation of these two is extremely average, they are both hovering around the fifth level of Qi refining, and when they fight, it's like you do one trick and the other fights the other, but they are evenly matched, which is quite boring.In the end, one of the water spirit root disciples saw an opportunity, and swept the magic weapon heavily on the other earth spirit root disciple, and directly swept the latter out of the ring.The next few competitions were similar, and there was an occasional competition that was eye-catching, but it ended after a few clicks, so that people couldn't see much of the truth.Even so, Chu Yanzhi took it seriously and tried his best to prepare for the next game.

After more than an hour, with the sound of "No. 11 vs. No. 39", it was finally Chu Yanzhi's turn to compete.

Chu Yanzhi calmly stepped forward and stepped onto the ring.On the other side, a young man in Tsing Yi swooped forward from the sidelines in a beautiful way, and then jumped in front of Chu Yanzhi, and with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands at Chu Yanzhi and said, "Please, this senior brother!" show mercy."

Chu Yanzhi looked at the young man coldly, but he was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.Although he acted a little ostentatiously—for some reason he thought of Chu Zixuan again, but it was precisely because he was young that he seemed lively instead.Thoughts were complicated, but in the blink of an eye, Chu Yanzhi also smiled back: "Your brother is too polite."

The test begins.

The young man first waved his hand to add an earth-type protective shield to himself, thought for a while, and seemed to feel that it was not enough, then used a spell to condense a layer of stone on the surface of the skin, which seemed to be a petrification spell.Chu Yanzhi shook his head, retracted the hand that was pressing on the storage bag, and wanted to take out the Qiushui sword, quickly formed a seal with both hands, and drew again, a two-finger-thick lightning appeared in the void, and hit the young man heavily. body. With a "click", the protective cover shattered, and scorched marks appeared on the petrified skin. ——A mere handprint can have such an effect.The power of thunder is so visible!

"Wow, brother is so powerful!" The young man screamed a few times, then stopped suddenly, and looked at Chu Yanzhi seriously, "I'm going to give it a serious fight. Even if there is no chance of winning."

Chu Yanzhi's complexion was complete: "Junior Brother, please."

The boy's figure began to become unreal, first it turned into a reflection as if printed in water, then gradually even the water became transparent, and finally completely disappeared into the air without a trace.

Chu Yanzhi glanced around, seeing—even in his consciousness—the trace of the young man had disappeared, and his pupils could not help constricting slightly.

——Murderous!

While thinking, Chu Yanzhi instinctively sensed the strangeness on the left side, narrowly dodged the blade, and a few strands of hair fell to the ground.

This time it's on the right!

top!

……

Relying on his instinct, Chu Yanzhi was able to handle it with ease for a while.

Knowing that going on like this is not the way to go, the saber momentum is getting faster and stronger, and if you don't want to find a way, you may really be eliminated in the first round and miss the secret realm. ——The big competition stipulates that if you are eliminated in the first round, there is no chance for a second challenge, including the group arena.After pondering for a while, he stopped dodging and simply closed his eyes, exposing himself directly to the sight of the young man hiding in the dark.

The blade is getting closer and closer to him!

He heard nervous gasps and whispered conversations outside the ring.Abandoning all distracting thoughts, emptying one's heart, gradually one's spiritual consciousness became extraordinarily ethereal and sharp.In the emptiness and nothingness, there was a dazzling light that broke through everything, and came to face Chu Yanzhi!

Left...no, top left...here it is!

Chu Yanzhi opened his eyes suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, his body moved towards the upper left without retreating, and with a heavy swipe with one hand, a purple light suddenly split the empty mid-air, revealing a look of surprise on his face. Come on boy!There was no time to change the saber's posture, the young man just rushed straight and stupidly maintained the original piercing posture, Chu Yanzhi took a step back, and then drew a purple thunder, about the thickness of an arm, and slashed heavily at the blade.After hearing a few "dang-bang", the boy with a head of scorched black hair fell to the ground. He was directly sentenced to failure and received a spiritual treatment.

"Hiss." Someone took a breath, and looked at Chu Yanzhi with a different look: No wonder everyone said that the attack power of the lightning root is strong, no wonder he can sit on an equal footing with many disciples with three spiritual roots with only four spiritual roots!

Many people, after comparing secretly, felt a chill in their hearts, and listed this young new disciple as one of the strong enemies in the competition.

"Is junior brother okay?" Chu Yanzhi squatted beside the young man, looking at him worriedly.

"Senior brother, do you think I'm fine?" The young man rolled his eyes. It was obvious that the previous cure was very effective, at least he had recovered, "But thank you, brother, for your mercy."

"It's okay to go down quickly, and we have to continue the game!" Seeing that the two seemed to be making troubles, the elder who had been healed earlier yelled at them angrily, "Also, the one on the ground, nothing serious No, it's not up yet!"

Chu Yanzhi smiled embarrassingly, and quickly rolled down the ring with the young man who got up suddenly from the ground.

"Junior brother's invisibility just now is really powerful." Chu Yanzhi chatted with the young man, and continued to watch the game carefully, "If it weren't for my cultivation base being so much higher, who would win? It's two things to say who is afraid."

"Hey, that's my family's family-suppressing technique, and it's only passed on to the heirs." The young man seemed quite proud of mentioning the invisibility technique, but it only lasted for a moment, and then the topic changed, "By the way, my name is Jimeng, senior brother What do you call it?"

"Ji Meng?" Chu Yan was stunned, his mind broke away from serious speculation, and he subconsciously looked back at the young man: "Ji's surname?"

Chu Yanzhi's reaction seemed to be expected, and Ji Meng grinned: "Hey, it's rare. I heard from my father that our branch migrated from a far away place. We have lost contact, so our foundation is weak, otherwise we would not use this invisibility technique as the treasure of the sect."

"My sect?" Chu Yanzhi came back to his senses, and asked tentatively, "Did your father mention why they were separated? Then where is this sect?"

"Who knows. Maybe they got separated during the migration." Ji Meng gave Chu Yanzhi a strange look, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yanzhi smiled: "Nothing, just asking."

Lost from this sect... branch... surnamed Ji...

Chu Yanzhi focused his eyes on the once again tepid battle on the ring, with a slightly dignified look: Ji Meng's clan is probably in the Tiansheng Continent, right?Does separation mean exile, or literal migration?If it was just migration, or intentionally came to Jingyuan Continent, what was the purpose?Chu Zixuan, Situ Lan, Ji Meng, people from Tiansheng Continent around them appear more and more frequently, and there is always a feeling that the mountain is about to come and the wind is overwhelming...

The game is still going on, and the results of the first round of the knockout round will be announced soon.The 25 winning disciples drew lots again in random order for the second round of the knockout round. Among them, the No. 13 disciple was lucky and had a bye and entered the next round of melee.Chu Yanzhi drew No. 19 and played against No. [-].

This time, there was no suspense in the competition. Although the opponent had the seventh level of Qi Refining, his performance on the field was not even as good as that of Ji Meng, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Naturally, it didn't take much effort for Chu Yanzhi to advance to the next level. .At the same time, because the second round was generally much more exciting than the first round, Chu Yanzhi also obtained some useful information, and secretly kept an eye on a few people who might pose a threat to him, and planned to think about countermeasures.

A total of thirteen contestants were selected from the two rounds of knockout rounds to enter the second round, and the situation in other arenas was the same.

After the two rounds of knockout matches in the fifteen arenas, the sun was already high above.After some discussion, the elders decided to rest for an hour, and then play the second round of melee in the afternoon.

After thinking about how long it would take to come and go, Chu Yanzhi finally decided to rest on the spot, recharge his batteries and wait for the scuffle match.
