Chapter 25: Imprisonment
Jiang Qiao, who was trapped by the colorful rays of light, seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He raised his right hand and the egg-sized thunder ball in his palm flew towards the six-door Demon-Conquering Tower in the sky. ∈♀ Top novel, this thunder ball exuded It has two colors of gold and silver. It is different from ordinary thunderballs. Its solidity is like substance, and its surface is smooth and translucent, giving people the feeling of pearls and jade.
Naturally, Xie Ling would not be fooled by its gorgeous appearance. He knew that this thunder ball had condensed one-third of Jiang Qiao's thunder and lightning power. When it was compressed to such a size and exploded, its power was more than doubled. He pinched the magic with both hands. The execution speed was three points faster. In the eyes of everyone, they could only see two hands flying up and down. Spirit talismans burst out from them one by one, forming mysterious and indescribable forbidden runes in the void. The thunder ball was about to approach. When the stone tower was fifteen feet away, the runes in the air scattered one by one and fell downwards.
Jiang Qiao's compressed thunderball is the power of thunder and lightning refined by himself, so he is not worried that the thunderball will affect him. However, although the power of the thunderball is huge, it is useless if it is too far away from the opponent. Moreover, the thunderball shrinks into a ball and forms a ball. It is unstable and will expand and spread out again at any time if it is out of his control, so he must keep a certain amount of pressure on it. This limits his ability to send the thunder ball to Xie Ling as quickly as possible, and can only slowly Let it fly over under your control.
Everything in the world has its own strengths and weaknesses, and there is no real sense of perfection. The power of a compressed thunder ball can be increased tenfold when it explodes, but the advantage of lacking speed often seems flashy in a fight, and others will not give it to you at all. Opportunities up close.
Because Jiang Qiao was trapped in the Six-door Demon-Conquering Tower, the only way he could think of to save himself now was this. If Xie Ling wanted to trap him, he would not be able to go far. Therefore, although the speed of the thunder ball was slow, it was able to defeat the enemy. Victory's conspiracy. Either you give up and avoid it, or you have to face the devastating power of the thunder! The choice is all Xie Ling's. This move is fair and square. Jiang Qiao will compress it into a thunder ball the size of an egg. When I pushed Xie Ling, I couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
However, when Xie Ling activated the spiritual power of heaven and earth and created a series of obscure runes, Jiang Qiao's confidence became a little fragile. If the thunder ball was activated now, the distance would not be enough to cause too much harm to Xie Ling. As long as it was five feet closer, even three feet would be fine! He was struggling internally, his eyebrows tightened and his hands trembled slightly.
He didn't believe that anyone could stop the thunder ball that he was compressing with all his strength, not even the Jindan monks dared to try easily, so when the runes fell one by one, he was still waiting, waiting for the thunder ball to push upwards a little further.
Finally, the rune fell down, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that surged towards it, and then spread out into dots of crystal filaments in the void near him! These crystal filaments disappeared and appeared, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't detect their existence. Seeing that they did not attack him, Jiang Qiao became slightly less vigilant. However, the next moment his expression changed and he found that he had lost control of the thunder balls. What made him even more frightened was that his own thunder and lightning power also changed. He began to become confused. It turned out that not only was he unable to control the thunderball, but he was also unable to control his own spiritual power. It was as if there was an invisible shackle that locked him in an instant.
"Those crystal wires..." He opened his mouth and looked at the looming crystal wires all around, as if he understood something.
The thunder ball paused in the void. Because there was no restraint, the originally compact thunder ball began to expand, and in an instant it turned into a gold and silver thunder cloud dozens of feet wide, and finally disintegrated in the sky and earth with a roar.
Jiang Qiao watched them collapse, feeling his own powerlessness for the first time, and his expression was very depressed. Suddenly he found that the invisible power was gone, and the looming crystal threads around him also disappeared into the void at the same time.
He could control his own power again, but at this time he had lost the confidence to continue fighting. He knew that Xie Ling, who was overlooking him on the stone tower, intended for him to watch his condensed thunderball collapse.
As he expected, the five-colored glow that restrained him retracted into the stone tower. No matter how proud he was of the other party's attitude of not caring about him at all, Jiang Qiao knew that the gap between the two parties was far from what he imagined. He fell to the ground,
Under the spotlight, his voice trembled and he said, "I lost!" Then he turned his back and walked towards the sidelines. He also had his pride, and would rather stand up straight and admit defeat than bow his head in humiliation.
Qiao Youxu, the headmaster of Xiu Shen Temple in the stands, nodded and said: "With this experience, he may be able to go further!"
Monks are not afraid of failure or setbacks, but they are afraid of losing the courage to move forward because of setbacks. Jiang Qiao lost, and the proud man lost his confidence for a while, but he finally dared to admit defeat. This was worse than continuing to mess around for the sake of face regardless of everything.
It's commendable! After all, this is just a competition within the sect, and flowers don't necessarily bloom in spring to be beautiful.
Not many people can understand the fighting between Xie Ling and Jiang Qiao. Many people still don’t understand why Jiang Qiao gave in. However, this does not affect the continuation of the competition. The second round of the second round begins immediately.
, the two sides in the competition were Chen Ruhui from Xiu Shen Academy and Wanshengtang from Sword Trial Academy.
The second match seemed much more normal. The two of them fought back and forth in the center of the square for nearly half an hour. In the end, Wanshengtang from the Sword Trial Academy was superior and won the second match.
The third game pits Yue Lingxiao from the Sword Trial Academy against A Bing from the Spiritual Beast Academy.
After learning the lesson from Jin Zhongming of the Xiu Shen Temple, Yue Lingxiao did not give A Bing a chance to sneak attack. Whether it is the ground drawing technique or the ground stabbing technique, the range it can adapt to will not be too large. As a sword cultivator, Yue Lingxiao has a wide range of sword energy.
Hey, A Bing had no chance to get close at all. He was exhausted by Yue Lingxiao in less than a cup of tea, and was finally defeated.
After the three competitions in the second round, Xie Ling, Wanshengtang and Yue Lingxiao will directly enter the third round of the first stage. The three who failed will compete again with the three who squeezed into the second round. The three who won
Entering the third round, losers are eliminated.
Since the third round was held on the next day, Xie Ling left the fighting arena and returned to his cave to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's competition.
Returning to the cave, Xie Ling walked straight into the quiet room, sat down cross-legged, and then calmed down the excitement that had been aroused all the way.
He never expected that the first use of the 'Heavenly Prison' would have such an effect. Jiang Qiao's magical powers were indeed not weak, but he had no resistance at all under the 'Heavenly Prison'.
The 'Heavenly Prison' can imprison a monk's magical power, making it impossible for him to control his own spiritual power, as if an invisible shackle is imposed on him. However, this great ban has not been mastered by Xie Ling for a short time, and it takes a long time to cast the spell due to his cultivation level.
,can maintain'
The time of imprisonment in the Heavenly Prison was not long. If Jiang Qiao was not restrained by the colorful rays of light emitted by the 'Six Gate Demon-Conquering Tower', and used the technique of tightening thunder to fight against the trapped beast, giving him enough time to cast spells to restrain him, he would never have been restrained.
Wouldn't use it rashly in a fight.
Xie Ling tasted the sweetness of the 'Heavenly Prison' for the first time, and paid more attention to the seven forbidden forbidden words left by Ji Heng, so he closed his eyes and took the trouble to understand it again.
When Xie Ling came to the fighting arena early the next morning, the stands were already crowded. After a while, he knew which three people had won the third round yesterday.
Jiang Qiao, Feng Yu, Chen Ruhui and Xie Ling, Wanshengtang and Yue Lingxiao stood opposite each other. Except for A Bing, the other three in front once again defeated their opponents and entered the third round. Feng Yu squeezed in at the last moment
Come in.
According to the rules of the competition, in the third round, the six players will first look at the outcome. The loser will challenge the players who have not played against each other. If they lose, they will be eliminated directly. The two who win in the end will enter the second stage of the competition.
First, Chen Ruhui chose his opponent. Because he lost to Wanshengtang in the previous game, he could only choose between Xie Ling and Yue Lingxiao. Chen Ruhui chose Xie Ling as his opponent without any consideration.
. This was discussed with his fellow disciples after the competition yesterday. It is said that Yue Lingxiao's strength is still above the All Saints Hall, and he is not sure that he can defeat the opponent. So although Xie Ling is unpredictable, for him, there is still
A glimmer of hope.
The second one was chosen by Jiang Qiao. He lost to Xie Ling in the last match, so his opponents would only be Wanshengtang and Yue Lingxiao. He did not hesitate and directly chose Wanshengtang as his opponent.
Finally, there is Fengyu. He once lost to Yue Lingxiao. Logically speaking, his chosen targets are Xie Ling and Wan Shengtang. However, these two were chosen by the first two people, so he will have a bye this time, waiting for the first two people.
After the battle, decide your opponent.
Chen Ruhui carefully looked at Xie Ling, who looked calm and composed across from him. He had a bottomless feeling about this junior fellow from the Weapon Refining Academy who had just emerged. In fact, in his heart, he wanted to choose Yue Lingxiao as his opponent today, but after a while
After being persuaded by friends from the same school, I finally chose Xie Ling.
"Senior Brother Chen, can we start?" Although Xie Ling is still wearing the red embroidered moon uniform, in the eyes of many Cang Yue Sect disciples, he is no different from the leaders of the sect who are wearing the golden embroidered moon uniform. See
He entered the center of the square, starting from the Weapon Refining Courtyard, and there was boiling applause from the stands.
"Thank you, junior brother, please!" Chen Ruhui was very careful and did not dare to attack impatiently from the beginning like the two people before him.
Seeing his cautious look, Xie Ling raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He knew that the other party would not make the first move, so he pointed upward with his right hand, and the black water epee flew forward into the sky with a clear sound.
Chen Ruhui looked up at the black giant sword flying towards him and thought to himself: "Is this the black water heavy sword that Xie Ling was rumored to show off during his Qi refining period?" Although he was muttering in his heart, his men did not slack off.
, a piece of green wood flew out in a flash of inspiration, and then
His hands were flying up and down, and he was constantly pinching and firing magic spells. The green tree rotated up and down and grew larger in the front and center, and then transformed into two branches, and the two branches turned into four branches. In the blink of an eye, a dense forest was transformed into a lush forest in front of it.
