Volume 1, Qianlong Scroll, Chapter 68, Unexpected
"Wow, I was shocked. I thought he could really beat Chi Mingpei. The vine armored soldier looked very powerful, but that's all." Mei Zhenyu said with a lip.
"But that's the case? What should I do if I let you meet Junior Brother Shangchi?" Lin Xiansheng asked.
Before Mei Zhenyu could answer, Zhao Shu replied, "What can I do? Just admit defeat..."
The senior brothers and sisters around were amused by this sentence, and Mei Zhenyu blushed, "You talk too much and reason, Chi Congwen and I are a small level apart, so it's not embarrassing to admit defeat..."
Then he thought that he was already in the loser group and if he was eliminated in the first round, it was a bit unreasonable. Mei Zhenyu began to regret that he had not practiced well in normal times, and now it was useless to sharpen his guns in the face of battle. However, among the disciples participating this time, they could always have some of the same strength as him. His luck should not be that bad, and he encountered a strong enemy in the first round.
The seven competitions in the morning went smoothly and ended very quickly. Most of the disciples who appeared were famous in the sect. Zhao Shu learned the fighting methods of different spiritual roots on the ring while listening to his senior brothers and sisters judging the strength of the spells.
Everyone in the second mountain was talking and laughing to the four people who were going to participate. If they saw that the disciple's magic was broken on the ring, they would occasionally follow the people in the venue to make a comeback, but after watching the competition in the afternoon, they couldn't laugh.
They originally thought that after the morning round of battle, the powerful characters from each peak were all on the stage. They were in the loser group, and their main opponents were those who were competing later, but they did not expect that the afternoon battle was no less than that in the morning. What's more important is that eleven of the fourteen disciples who appeared in the afternoon were masters of the form-like realm.
This is something that no one expected. They have lived in the second mountain peak for a long time and have little contact with other peaks. In addition, Lin Xiansheng beat Qin You a year ago, so he felt that the gap would not seem to be that big. Qin You is a senior brother after all, and his cultivation level is definitely top in Xikan Peak or in the sect.
So they felt that Wu Jiangli and Gu Qingtang, who are also in the realm of the power of the object, could also have the power to fight in the competition. However, the cultivation level displayed by the people who appeared in the afternoon shocked them.
On the way back to the peak, everyone looked solemn and silent. Even Mei Zhenyu, who had been active all morning, frowned and did not say a word. He was full of confidence and left with pleasure, but he was worried and returned in disgrace.
When we arrived at the second mountain, Lin Xiansheng arranged for everyone to sit down in the front hall, hesitated for a while, and said, "Today is the first day. According to the arrangement of the conference, there are a total of five days of round-robin competitions. This competition is more than in the past. Perhaps in order not to make everyone feel boring, the players on the court today are all elites from each peak, and the competition is also very exciting, but there are still many games later. Maybe their strength will be relatively weak, so don't be nervous for now."
No one talks. Judging from the intensity of today's competition, let alone the senior brother, even Weili, who is known as the strongest in the younger generation, may not be able to win the championship successfully, let alone the other three senior brothers and sisters on the peak, they may be eliminated in the first round.
Wu Jiangli smiled and said, "The elder brother is right. Everyone knows the difficulty of improving the realm. There are no other peaks that suddenly there are so many unknown masters."
"Yes, yes..." Mei Zhenyu echoed, "We don't scare ourselves. There are still four days left. As long as we study their Taoist routines carefully, it is impossible to win by surprise." The two of them started to adjust the dull atmosphere in the hall, and then everyone started to communicate verbally.
But Zhao Shu knew that everyone was forcibly cheering the four of them. The senior brothers and sisters should all understand that this time, except for the senior brother, the other three will most likely lose the game in the first round.
Han Cangbi once said that entering the Qi Refining God is the beginning of cultivation. Every breakthrough in a small realm can make the cultivation qualitative leap. Therefore, even if it is also a Qi Refining God, the eldest brother can completely suppress Qin Youyu's realm with a form-like realm.
Moreover, there have been fourteen games today, with a total of twenty-eight people playing, and only thirty-five people participating in the round-robin competition, which means that the remaining seven people have not yet appeared.
According to the rules of the conference, after the round-robin competition, the person with the lowest record will be eliminated according to the results of the competition. Therefore, even if the seven people who appear tomorrow are not strong, it is very likely that the group will be eliminated, and the rest... Zhao Shu didn't think about it anymore, and Mei Zhenyu came over to interrupt his thoughts.
"My junior brother, everyone is hungry. Let's go and help the senior sisters cook together..."
Looking at the frustrated look on Mei Zhenyu's face, Zhao Shu comforted: "Senior Brother Mei, you don't have to care about winning or losing at all. Master asked you to participate in the competition, but you didn't have to compete for a good ranking."
Mei Zhenyu shook his head and said, "Young brother, you don't understand. For example, our disciples from the second mountain have always been looked down upon by other disciples in the sect. Now we have finally had the opportunity to show our faces in the sect competition. If we can't get a good ranking, we will still not be able to raise our heads in the sect in the future."
"I was very confident, not to myself, but to my senior brothers and sisters. Their cultivation is not weak, especially the eldest brother, who can compete with Lian Weili, but unexpectedly, the peaks have quietly cultivated so many masters in the form-like realm."
"Take Xi Kanfeng as an example, I'm not surprised that Qin You and Senior Brother Yuan can enter the form of form, but there are still three of the six people who have appeared so far. I know those three senior brothers. I didn't talk much on the peak before, but now I think I'm a person who is deeply hidden. I just don't know if I'm afraid of being suppressed by Qin You..."
Zhao Shu thought for a while and said, "No matter what, in terms of realm, our second peak is the weakest, but I think that before Master asked you to participate in the competition, he must have understood the strength of the disciples of each peak. After all, with his cultivation level, there are probably few people in the Immortal Sect who can hide too deeply in front of him."
"But why even if you know the strength of each peak, you still insist on letting you participate in the competition? I think one of the reasons is that he also knows that you have been suppressed for a long time. If you cannot prove yourself through the competition, it will be detrimental to your future practice. Participating in the competition can at least let the entire sect know that you are not the incompetent people in their mouths."
"There is another reason that he has great confidence in the cultivation of the senior brother. He believes that with the senior brother, he will definitely make the second mountain peak amazement. In fact, after the senior brother fought with Qin You before, the disciples in the sect's understanding of our peak has improved greatly."
"That's right..." Mei Zhenyu nodded and said, "When I went to get the spirit stone and Qi Yuan Dan, they all looked like they were above the top, as if giving these things to us was a waste of resources. But since the eldest brother won Qin You, those people were finally willing to face us, and sometimes they would even talk to me for a few words..."
"So, Senior Brother Mei, even if you can't pass the first round this time, just try your best to let the other people on the peak know that our mountain is more than one outstanding disciple. Besides, the large gap in cultivation does not mean that it cannot bring a wonderful competition. Didn't Senior Sister Liu also force Senior Brother Lian into danger in the first game today?"
