Chapter 12: Winning Two Rounds in a Row (Please read it! Please collect it)

The person in charge of testing and registration in Huang Maple Valley is an old man with a 13th level of cultivation.

"Name?"

"Qin Jiu" the young man in blue replied.

"Look at your cultivation level, eh. 9th level of Qi training."

"Look at the bone age again, the outstretched arm." The old man said and hit Qin Jiu's arm with a spell.

"26 years old, qualified." So Qin Jiu's name, appearance, cultivation level, and age were recorded.

Next person

"Name"

"Zhou Xun"

Following the young man in blue, Zhou Xun also signed up.He guessed that if he played according to the order of registration, his opponent would be Qin Jiu.

Half an hour passed.Everyone has signed up.There are 125 people here in Huang Maple Valley.
At noon, the first round of fighting officially began.

On the Yellow Maple Valley side, an old man in yellow jumped from the stage onto the ring.It was the one who was responsible for the registration earlier.

"All fellow Taoists are participating in my Huang Maple Valley competition. Those whose names I call will come on stage to compete."

"Both sides compete, the one who voluntarily admits defeat loses, and the one who falls off the ring loses." Then there was a pause in his tone.

"The dead person loses. It's not easy for you to practice Taoism. If you can't compete, you should admit defeat as soon as possible." After saying that, he opened the registration booklet.

I saw that there were 125 people in this round, which is an odd number.

"There are 125 people in total for this round, and one more person will get a bye." He said and started to draw.
"Lianbensheng, this Taoist friend. You will automatically enter the next round."

Then he said loudly:
"The competition has officially begun. In the first round, Zhao Xingben and Liu Da take the stage." After finishing his words, he jumped off the ring.

I saw a big man with a body as strong as a bear, carrying a broad sword on his back, and dressed like a martial artist standing up.He stepped hard on the ground, and the stone suddenly fell into pieces. With the upward force, he jumped onto the ring, shaking up the smoke and dust.

At the same time, a thin young man dressed as a Confucian scholar also jumped onto the stage.Like a monkey, his movements are indeed much lighter, which is in sharp contrast to the roughness of the big man.

Both of them are at the tenth level of Qi training.

I saw the Confucian scholar saluting the big man, cupping his hands and saying:
"Brother, you are polite, I'll..."

The rough man was extremely impatient when he saw him handing over his hand:

"I'm most annoyed by scholars like you, look at me!!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the big knife from his back and injected his magic power. Suddenly, the big knife emitted bursts of sword light.Heart-stopping.

Then he held the big knife in his hand and slashed at the scholar.

The people in the audience looked at these two people and started talking.

"This scholar is very cruel, even though he looks polite. He once killed a whole family of people for a piece of ginseng, even the children. He called himself the 'blood-clad scholar'" said a sharp-faced man with disdain.

Another person answered the call

"I also know this rough guy. He was originally a centurion from the Jingzhou government. Although he has embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, he still looks like a martial artist. He is extremely vulgar." The people next to him also burst out laughing after hearing this.

When the scholar saw the rough man coming with a knife, he smiled coldly and flew back.As light as a bird, it can instantly open up a distance of tens of meters.

Then a spell was cast, and spikes suddenly appeared on the ground.Extremely sharp, exuding a heart-stopping intimidation.

Although the thick man is huge, his reactions are extremely fast.I saw him jump, and the knife was lowered under his feet, like a tiger crossing a stream.Only a few ding-ding-ding sounds were heard, and all the ground thorns pierced the blade surface and broke.

Seeing this, the scholar snorted coldly.Another quicksand technique was released exactly where the man was about to land.

When others saw this, they thought the man was going to feel cold.His huge body fell into this quicksand trap, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn't use it.

However, everyone underestimated this man's ability.He twisted his waist in the air, like a cat, and jumped out of the quicksand.

Everyone in the audience was stunned, unable to connect this huge body with flexibility.But this scene appeared in front of me.

The big man saw that the scholar was so fast, and he couldn't keep up with him no matter how he chased him.He knew that if he continued like this, his mana would be exhausted early.

So I was cautious.He forced out three mouthfuls of essence and blood, then held the seal and struck it on the big knife.The broadsword suddenly became brighter.

Then he swung the sword forward, and a blade of light was as fast as lightning, exuding a strong spiritual power, and flew towards the scholar at a very fast speed, which was extremely frightening.

The scholar dodged to the side, but was still too slow. Half of his arm was cut off instantly, like cutting tofu.This is why the scholar started to dodge when the man swung the sword, otherwise the sword light would definitely split him in two.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun thought to himself that it was difficult to do better than a scholar.Only by using his high-level defensive talisman can he avoid this attack.

After wielding this sword, the man instantly became sluggish and weak, like a deflated rubber ball.Seeing the light of the sword, there is no meritorious deeds.Without hesitation, he turned around and jumped off the ring.The scholar hated him, gritted his teeth, and vowed to avenge his broken arm.He took out three talismans from his arms and started to activate them.

Suddenly a big air hand appeared in front of him and slapped him to the ground.The slap made him vomit blood.

"Fighting only happens in the ring, are you going to break the rules?" came a majestic voice. It turned out to be the middle-aged foundation builder on the viewing platform who took action.

"Young men don't dare." The scholar quickly bowed down and begged for mercy.Then he picked up his broken arm and stepped off the stage.

The old man in yellow jumped onto the ring and announced
"Zhao Xingben wins"

At this time, the scholar in the audience said:
"My arm was too badly injured and I am really unable to participate in the next round of competition. I am willing to withdraw."

"In that case, Liu Dasheng," the old man announced expressionlessly.

"Next game..."

. . .

After more than 30 consecutive battles, it was Zhou Xun’s turn.
"Next game, Qin Jiu, Zhou Xun."

Zhou Xun tapped his toes, jumped out like a bird, and stepped onto the stage.When people nearby saw it, they all praised him.

"Although this little kid is young, his cultivation is not weak."

"Yes, this skill of lightening one's body is quite impressive."

They didn't know that the reason why Zhou Xun was so relaxed was because he was wearing "Xiangyun" boots.

"Looking at his appearance, he can participate in at least two more sessions, and he will definitely reach the end." People around him nodded in agreement.

Qin Jiu also came on stage.Seeing that his opponent turned out to be Zhou Xun, his face lit up with joy.

"Little brother, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. It turned out to be you."

"I signed up after you, so naturally you and I have to fight each other," Zhou Xun explained.

"That's it. Little brother, let's stop here." Qin Jiu suddenly realized.

"I'm going to take action." He said, holding up a jade ruler and hitting Zhou Xun.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun sacrificed his green light sword and "ding", "ding" and "ding" with the jade ruler in the air, fighting several times.

These two magical instruments are both exquisite among high-end magical instruments.The fight was so hard that it was difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior.

"Little brother, what a magical weapon." Qin Jiu couldn't help but praise it.

Then several fireballs were fired.

Zhou Xun lay down and dodged back.The fireball hit the ground, splashing sparks and burning the ground black.

"This round-faced young man is pretty good," Zhou Xun thought.

While I was thinking, my hands were not slow,
He lifted the rope magic weapon slightly and wrapped it around his left arm.As if entangled with a poisonous snake.

Seeing Zhou Xun hiding behind, Qin Jiu quickly followed up with five fireballs.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly.This time he didn't evade, but faced him.

Move left and right to avoid those fireballs.The distance between the two people closed instantly.

Then a white light flashed from his left arm, and the rope flew out like lightning.

Wanruo was like a wandering dragon, and she tied up Qin Jiu tightly in an instant.Then he raised his hand and waved, and the person arrived at the stage.

From having the upper hand, to being bundled and thrown off the stage.However, in just a few blinks of an eye, the offensive and defensive positions changed, and they were instantly defeated.

It took Qin Jiu a while to recover, with a complicated expression on his face, and he looked at Zhou Xun with a wry smile.

Thinking that he had been so bold before, he asked Zhou Xun to follow his footsteps and attend the Immortal Ascension Conference step by step.

I thought that with my ninth-level cultivation and high-level magic weapon, I could survive the first three rounds even if I didn't make it to the end.As a result, he lost in the first round, still at the hands of a teenage boy.I felt lost in my heart.

"The winner of this game is Zhou Xun"

Zhou Xun nodded slightly.He jumped off the ring and immediately began to meditate and adjust his breath, preparing for the next round of competition.

However, Zhou Xun was not given a chance to take action next.

In the second round, Zhou Xun got a bye.
