Winning the top ten in the first stage of the competition must be the peak of the fifth level of Qi training. Winning the top ten in the second stage must be the peak of the eighth level of Qi training. It takes five years to reach the peak of Qi training.
On the eighth floor, he can be considered a genius.
This does not exclude the use of good magic weapons. Monks in the Qi training stage compete in martial arts and do not rely on true energy and coercion like monks in the foundation building stage.
Disciples in the Qi training stage rely entirely on speed and reaction. A good magic weapon can also be the key to winning or losing for a Qi training disciple. For example, two people with the same cultivation level will depend on the magic weapon in their hands. This is also normal.
Logically speaking.
"Senior brother is really a real person without showing his face. He actually got into the top ten twice. I admire him very much." Li Qiuyu said politely, with a look of admiration on his face. Dongfang Qingtian saw it in his eyes, and his vanity skyrocketed.
Yun Tian, who was originally dissatisfied with Dongfang Qingtian, has slightly changed his mind. He is just worried about his senior brother and wonders if he, as a senior brother, can squeeze into the top 100.
The three of them came to a large square, which was already crowded with people. This was the largest square in Emperor Yan Peak, covering a hundred acres in size. It had just been surrounded by the five main peaks in an encirclement shape.
Li Qiuyu and the other three walked towards the middle of the square. There were three huge steps set up in the middle of the wide square. Each step was twenty feet in diameter. The steps were almost ten feet high from the ground. He touched them gently.
The steps are made of unknown materials and are extremely strong.
There are ten seats on each step, which are the positions where seniors supervise and review the disciples in the competition, usually hosted by Zhu Ji.
However, there are two extra seats on one of the steps. According to Dongfang Qingtian's introduction, this step is where the ninth and tenth levels of Qi training compete, and the extra seats are also the seats of seniors in the alchemy stage.
Five feet away from the three steps, there is a huge platform about two feet high. There are more than a hundred positions on it. These are the positions of important people in Emperor Yan Peak.
"Attention all disciples participating in the competition, please line up in order to sign up. Disciples who are below the fifth level of Qi training are on the left, disciples who are on the sixth to eighth levels of Qi training are in the middle, and disciples who are on the ninth or tenth level of Qi training are on the right." A loud voice said.
It rang out and reached everyone's ears.
Li Qiuyu looked towards the source of the sound. It was an elderly monk in the late stage of foundation building. No wonder, if he wanted to suppress the noisy voice of thirty thousand disciples, he must have the strength of this late stage of foundation building.
"I repeat the registration specifications. They are strict and have a low warranty. The sixth level of Qi training is prohibited from participating in the first stage of the competition. The ninth level of Qi training strictly participates in the second stage of Qi training. However, the disciples of the eighth level of Qi training can participate in the second stage of competition.
Three stages of competition.”
The old monk in the late stage of foundation building said loudly, and the disciples below listened quietly. No one dared to say a word. No one dares to be disrespectful to the seniors in the late stage of foundation building.
After he finished speaking, he flew away quickly. At the same time, nine monks in the foundation building period appeared at the three steps, and they came to register.
Li Qiuyu and Dongfang Qingtian went directly to the registration office on the right. Li Qiuyu finally figured out that the monk in charge of registration held a crystal ball in his hand. It was impossible for a disciple in the Qi training period to cheat.
The cultivation level was clearly displayed on the crystal ball, so there was a chance of cheating. Li Qiuyu and Dongfang Qingtian found a place with few people to wait, because there were more than 800 disciples registered here.
It took two hours to queue up, so they had to wait for others to sign up before going, which was much better than standing in line. Yuntian didn't go to the first stage of the competition either.
"What are the chances of Junior Brother Li getting into the top 100?" Dongfang Qingtian said with a smile.
He saw that many of the disciples who participated in the competition this year were better than last time, and the disciples who did not receive rewards last time also had the opportunity to participate this time, and their strength became stronger and stronger.
So he looked at Li Qiuyu jokingly. Not to mention Li Qiuyu, even if he saw some monks he knew, their cultivation level was much higher than him. Last time, he relied on some luck to get into the top ten.
"Senior Brother Dongfang is joking. There are so many powerful senior brothers here. I have a chance. I just need to practice." Li Qiuyu said calmly.
"But if you are lucky, you can win a few games and maybe get rewards, because our competitions are all knockout rounds. Each disciple only has one chance. If he loses, he will have no chance to continue. The winning disciple can
Let’s compete again in the second round.” Dongfang Qingtian said carefully.
It turns out that this competition also uses elimination. The elimination system is very cruel. If you lose once, you have no chance. Those who win will have to continue to face more powerful opponents, but there is also a certain amount of monk time in the middle.
In the first stage of the competition, there are only more than 2,000 disciples. Because the disciples below the third level are self-aware and will not make a fool of themselves, almost all the fourth and fifth levels are signing up.
There are more than a thousand people in the second stage, most of them are at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, and there are not many at the sixth level. There are also nearly a thousand people in the third stage.
Most of them are disciples who have participated in the tenth level of Qi training several times. Many have reached the peak state of the tenth level of Qi training, and are only one step away from breaking through to the foundation building stage. However, the lack of foundation building makes them permanently stay at the tenth level.
The only chance to compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill is to rely on your ranking here. If you can get into the top 100, you will have the opportunity to compete for the Foundation Establishment Qualifying Tournament.
However, the ninth level of Qi training only accounts for a small part. They all participate based on luck. The more times they participate, the more experience they have. By the tenth level, the chances of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill are much greater.
"Brother Dongfang, let's go sign up too." Li Qiuyu saw that there were not many people queuing up to sign up, so he stood up and walked towards the queuing place.
Dongfang Qingtian looked at Li Qiuyu, shook his head inwardly, and finally followed him, secretly saying: "You are still young, and you are a bit overestimating your abilities if you want to compete with so many masters."
"Name, cultivation level." An uncle who was in the early stage of foundation building looked at Li Qiuyu coldly and said calmly.
"Li Qiuyu, ninth level of Qi training." Li Qiuyu replied respectfully, and finally stretched out his hand to press the crystal ball, which displayed Li Qiuyu's information.
"Eh"
The foundation-building monk looked at Li Qiuyu in surprise. He had entered Emperor Yan Peak for a month. When he came in, he was in the middle of the eighth level of Qi training, but now he was in the late stage of the ninth level of Qi training. This speed is too abnormal.
The two foundation-building monks next to them also noticed the expressions of their junior brothers and looked at the crystal ball, looking at Li Qiuyu with the same surprise.
"Okay, yes, no problem. Take this. Check your competition time and opponent before the task list this afternoon. Come here on time tomorrow morning. Being late will mean giving up." The foundation-building monk handed a sign to Li Qiuyu and ordered
said.
"Thank you, uncle." Li Qiuyu came to the side with the sign in hand. Dongfang Qingtian had already signed up early and looked at the sign in his hand in a daze.
"Junior brother Li, what's your number?" Dongfang Qingtian asked calmly.
"Oh, my name is No. 998. Do you have any questions, Brother Dongfang?" Li Qiuyu looked at the sign in his hand, which had the three characters "998" engraved on it.
"We have a competition tomorrow morning. I am No. 993. It seems that there are a lot more disciples in this competition. It seems that there were only more than 800 disciples in the third stage of the competition last time." Dongfang Qingtian pondered for a moment,
He said in a daze.
"Does Brother Dongfang know the specifications of the competition?" Li Qiuyu asked politely, quietly waiting for Dongfang Qingtian's answer.
"It's like this. The first number competes with the highest number, the second number competes with the person with the second to last number, and so on. The disciples who have no opponents in the middle have a bye and directly enter the next round of competition.
The two of them watched for a while. Almost all the disciples who signed up here were gone. There was about one disciple behind them. In total, there were 1,100 disciples participating in the third stage of the competition.
The registration for the second phase is almost over, and the registration for the first competition is only halfway through, just because we are afraid that disciples with sixth-level cultivation will sneak in.
"Junior Brother Li, I have to go back and get ready first. See you tomorrow." Dongfang Qingtian said lightly, then turned around and walked out of the square, disappearing into the crowd in a few breaths.
"Senior Brother, this Senior Brother Dongfang seems to be very powerful, are you sure?" Yun Tian asked with a trace of worry on his face.
"Hey, my goal is to be number one." Li Qiuyu said calmly, and turned around and walked towards the square.
"First place?" Yuntian said in surprise when he heard Li Qiuyu's words. He thought he heard wrongly. When he saw Li Qiuyu leaving again, he quickly chased after him.
Not long after they left, the foundation-building monks who were in charge of registration waited for a while. Seeing that no disciples came to register, they closed their eyes and meditated to rest. They had to wait until noon to avoid any disciples being late. In order to give the following disciples a chance to improve.
Opportunity, naturally, the opportunity to compete will not be lost just because the disciple is late.
The most important thing for a sect is cohesion, and Di Yanfeng's cohesion is an example. Although it is competition, it is very united.
"Brother, I seem to have heard somewhere about the disciple named Li Qiuyu just now?" The early-stage foundation-building monk who signed up for Li Qiuyu opened his eyes and asked the two senior brothers next to him calmly. His eyes were full of doubts.
"Indeed, I also told Master Ting once, but I don't really remember it." Another foundation-building monk also replied.
"Li Qiuyu? By the way. I know. He is a disciple who just joined Emperor Yan Peak a month ago. He is also a spiritual alchemist. He was placed in the Purple Scale Pavilion by three uncles. He is the current master of the Purple Scale Pavilion.
." One of the foundation-building monks touched his forehead and pondered for a while before speaking.
"Master of Purple Scale Pavilion? Spiritual Alchemist?"
"I never thought that a fourteen-year-old disciple could actually be a spiritual alchemist. What a miracle." The foundation-building monks all shook their heads helplessly.
"Moreover, the Purple Scale Pavilion has been vacant for hundreds of years, and it was unexpectedly taken into the hands of a fourteen-year-old Qi-training stage disciple. It's so irritating." An older foundation-building stage monk sighed and said lightly.
