The third round of the Blue Maple Sect’s inner sect competition also kicked off at the performance venue.
It's still a knockout round, and we still draw lots from the bamboo tube of the leader Dou Yunzi.
The disciple who is lucky enough to draw number 47 can advance to the fourth round without participating in the competition.
Ling Tian was drawn with number three, so just after the drawing was completed, he went into the ring. His opponent was a fellow disciple who was at the peak of the mid-stage foundation building stage and was drawn with number four.
Following Master Shi Ling's wishes, Ling Tian did not deliberately keep a low profile. He took the lead as soon as the competition started.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Ling Tian slapped the opponent with a palm and sent the opponent off the stage without any suspense, causing another round of discussion.
"Looks like this guy isn't just lucky."
"With one move, he defeated his fellow disciples who were at the peak of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. I am afraid that ordinary fellow disciples in the late stage of Foundation Establishment are no match for him."
"Only those from the same sect who are at the peak of the later stage of foundation building can fight with him."
"No surprise, this guy can reach the top ten and win the spot to enter the Great Monument Realm."
"Is he really in the early stage of foundation building?"
The inner sect disciples who were watching the battle were all surprised and a little hard to believe that a fellow sect who had just been promoted to the inner sect and seemed to be in the early stage of foundation building actually had such great strength.
Ling Tian returned to the stand silently and continued to watch the rest of the fight.
Shi Yuyan and others were not too surprised by Ling Tian's powerful performance, but secretly said that their master's confidence in Ling Tian was indeed not groundless.
What was obviously different from Ling Tian's easy victory was that Wei Guang, who took the stage next, encountered a fellow student with a peak cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building. Even though he tried his best, he could not last for a cup of tea and was ultimately defeated and resigned.
"It's up to you." Wei Guang returned to the stands with a somewhat depressed expression.
"I'm relatively lucky. My opponent is only in the middle stage of foundation building, so I will definitely advance."
Shi Yuyan was full of confidence, she said: "Second senior brother's opponent is from the same sect in the late stage of foundation building, so he should also be able to advance."
"Well, it's an achievement to be proud of that three of our team advanced to the fourth round." Lu Yongshan nodded.
Not long after, Shi Yuyan and Lu Yongshan came on stage one after another, and as expected, they both advanced.
Because there were only forty-six disciples participating in the third round of competition, and eight people came on stage each time, the third round of competition ended quickly.
A total of twenty-four people advanced to the fourth round.
The fourth round was still the knockout round, but the sect gave them another three days of rest.
Another three days later, the fourth round of the Blue Maple Sect's inner sect competition began.
After drawing lots again, Ling Tian drew number 23, so his opponent was naturally number 24.
The numbers drawn by Shi Yuyan and Lu Yongshan were relatively high, and they were among the first eight people to take the stage.
Shi Yuyan's opponent was a fellow sect in the late stage of foundation building. This time, Shi Yuyan also won, but winning was not easy.
Her opponent already knew that she was practicing the "Yuan Yuan Refining Art", so they were extra cautious and cautious, avoiding direct confrontation with her.
Shi Yuyan also followed her father's instructions and strived to end the battle in a short time, so she took the initiative to attack from the beginning and maintained a fierce offensive.
Because the true energy she cultivated is more pure and domineering, the defensive spells and offensive spells cast by Shi Yuyan are obviously higher than those of her opponents. Unfortunately, her speed is not as fast as her opponent's, and her opponent's soul realm is also higher. The opponent focuses on avoiding
It made her feel awkward when attacking.
Fortunately, the area of the arena was not large, so the opponent was unable to avoid a cup of tea, and was knocked off the stage by Shi Yuyan because of a small mistake in his body skills.
Lu Yongshan was unlucky. He met the powerful Cheng Langtao. Although the two were of similar level, Cheng Langtao was obviously stronger. Whether it was physical skills or spells, Lu Yongshan was at a disadvantage.
However, after all, Lu Yongshan is also at the peak of his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building. Even if he is worse than Cheng Langtao, the difference is limited. Cheng Langtao naturally cannot defeat Lu Yongshan as easily as he defeated Wei Jiang.
Lu Yongshan also tried his best. He knew that Cheng Langtao had the advantage, so he did not attack blindly, but always defended with all his strength.
Cheng Langtao had no intention of joining hands with Lu Yongshan to advance. His attacks were so violent that Lu Yongshan was repeatedly wounded and spitting blood from his mouth.
"Second senior brother, come on"
"hold onto"
Yu Qin and Wei Guang cheered for Lu Yongshan.
Wei Jiang, who has not recovered from his injuries, also came today. When he saw Cheng Langtao injuring his second senior brother Lu Yongshan again and again, his face looked very gloomy.
Wei Jiang had personally experienced Cheng Langtao's attack power. Even though Cheng Langtao obviously didn't use his full strength at that time, Wei Jiang was still miserable.
Lu Yongshan persisted in the end. Without the ability to use magic weapons, talismans and other external forces, it was difficult for Cheng Langtao to defeat his fellow student who was also at the peak of the late foundation building stage in a short period of time. In the end, the two advanced to the fifth round together.
However, when the fighting time ended, Cheng Langtao was almost unscathed, while Lu Yongshan was unable to even step off the stage because his injuries were so severe.
Shi Ling flew down from the high stone chair again, sent Lu Yongshan to Ling Tian and others, and fed Lu Yongshan a healing elixir.
This time, although Lu Yongshan was also very embarrassed and had been beaten by Cheng Langtao until he was almost unable to backhand, he still persisted until the end. Naturally, Shi Ling would not blame his second apprentice, who was the most practical and steady.
Cheng Langtao seemed very disappointed that Lu Yongshan was not knocked off the stage, but when he looked at Ling Tian and the others, the corner of his mouth curved with a hint of confidence and contempt.
"That guy is so hateful"
Shi Yuyan was angry and said to Ling Tian: "In the next round, I must beat him."
"If we can meet him, I won't show mercy." Ling Tian nodded.
After waiting for half an hour, Ling Tian also came on stage. Although his opponent was in the late stage of foundation building, unfortunately he only had a slight advantage in skill. Ling Tian was superior in terms of speed, physical strength, and soul realm.
He is stronger than his opponent, so he can easily win without three moves.
The fourth round of competition ended quickly, and the sect gave everyone five days to rest. After all, in this round of competition, many disciples were either injured or consumed too much.
"The fifth round is not a knockout round."
Returning to the small courtyard by the waterfall, Shi Ling said to his disciples: "There are fourteen people who have advanced to the fifth round this time. Senior Brother Dou Yunzi, the leader, discussed it with a few of us and decided to advance to the fifth round."
During the round competition, a special forbidden area is arranged, and that forbidden area is your arena."
"Oh? It's quite fun." Shi Yuyan said with great interest.
"It's not fun at all."
Shi Ling frowned and said: "We will arrange many restrictions and formations in the forbidden area, and also put some ferocious beasts inside, making the forbidden area full of murderous intent and extremely dangerous."
"Ah? Will you lose your life?" The relaxed look on Shi Yuyan's pretty face disappeared and she asked nervously.
"You won't lose your life, because before you enter the forbidden area, you will get a jade slip. As long as you crush the jade slip when you are in danger, the masters of the Yuan Ying stage of the sect will arrive at your side instantly and rescue you.
, but in this case, the opportunity to continue searching for the 'red maple leaf' in the forbidden area will be lost." Shi Ling shook his head and said.
"What is the red maple leaf?" Shi Yuyan asked again.
"It's a special tool made by us."
Shi Ling explained: "This method is as big as a palm and looks like a maple leaf, but it is red. We will hide a hundred red maple leaves in dangerous places in the forbidden area. After you enter the forbidden area, you will finally
The important task is to find ways to get more red maple leaves, and in the end you will be ranked based on the number of red maple leaves you get."
"What if the number of red maple leaves obtained is the same?" Wei Guang couldn't help but ask.
"Then it depends on who has been in the forbidden area longer, and the one who has been longer will be ranked higher." Shi Ling replied.
"Can you snatch the red maple leaves obtained by others in the forbidden area?" Shi Yuyan then asked.
"Can."
Shi Ling nodded and said: "The red maple leaf is a special magical tool for masters in the Nascent Soul stage. It cannot be ingested by the storage bag and can only be carried with you. It also emits a strong red light and is difficult to hide."
"It's really troublesome." Shi Yuyan seemed a little dissatisfied.
"The reason for this is also for your consideration in entering the Great Monument Realm."
Shi Ling explained patiently: "Although the Great Monument Realm is full of opportunities, it is also very dangerous. When you enter the Great Monument Realm, it is actually an adventurous journey to seize treasures. There are also countless forbidden formations in the Great Monument Realm, which are dangerous.
Monster beasts and even magical beasts are almost everywhere, and in addition to the inherent dangers in the Great Monument Realm, the foundation-building elites of other sects who enter the Great Monument Realm with you will also bring threats to you."
"When we enter the forbidden area, can't we use external forces such as magic weapons or talismans?" Shi Yuyan asked again.
"cannot."
Shi Ling shook his head and said: "After all, the forbidden area is not the Great Monument Realm, it is just your competition arena. The danger inside is not very great, and there are always strong men from the sect watching, and they will not let you die in it, so
You don’t need to use external forces such as magic weapons and talismans.”
"Oh." Shi Yuyan understood and did not ask any more questions.
"After we go in, should we fight separately, or can we hug each other?"
Ling Tian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.
"There are no special requirements for this, but my suggestion is that at least the three of you should hug each other."
Shi Ling instructed: "Lu Yongshan has already learned how to fight and restrain. He can help you reduce risks."
"We can team up, and so can other sects. For example, the leader's lineage. This time, four people have advanced to the fifth round. Among them is Chu Chen. If they stick together, they can almost sweep away other sects in the forbidden area." Lu Yongshan
A path not without anxiety.
"The forbidden area will be very big, you can hide from Chu Chen and the others."
Shi Ling added: "After entering the Great Monument Realm, the disciples of each sect must also huddle together. You must learn to avoid the stronger teams."
After some explanations, Shi Ling asked his disciples to go back individually.
Five days is neither long nor short. Using these five days, Ling Tian gained a little more understanding of his treasure body and gained a deeper grasp of the Nine Palaces Flowing Cloud Steps.
