Three hours passed, and in a blink of an eye, half of the competition was over. At this time, those who could still stick to the ring were undoubtedly talented disciples in the Sword Sect, with only a few hundred left in the more than 700.
Among these hundred people, there are only a few who can truly rely on mastering the power of sword energy and skillfully use it to dodge the attack of the sword pillar. Including Qin Shi, there are no more than ten people.
Without the help of the sword energy, no matter how strong the cultivation level is, it will be fruitless in the end. In the competition, people are falling down at all times.
In the end, there were only a dozen disciples left.
At this time, Qin Shi was able to use the power of sword energy very easily. The power of sword energy continued to wander and flow in his body like the blood in his body. He held Shui Wuhen in his hand and waved it gently, and a dazzling sword light shot out immediately.
He smiled with satisfaction: "The power of this sword energy is indeed extraordinary. With this power, my use of swordsmanship and swordsmanship has been several times higher."
"Of course, any alien power has extremely powerful power." The evil demon nodded secretly.
Bang!
And at this moment, a loud bang rang on the ring.
I saw that on the ring not far away, an inexplicable explosion suddenly occurred, and the stone slabs on the earth were shattered into powder, and a strong wave of heat came to my face.
Qin Shi felt cold in his heart. He subconsciously jumped backwards, and his handprints quickly flipped: "Relics and Mantle!"
A golden tower protected him very quickly.
Bang!
And even so, the strong aftermath still deformed his golden tower, and the tiles above were shaken away.
Qin Shi suddenly bared his teeth and cursed inwardly: "What's going on? This power is several times stronger than the attack of the sword pillar. What would produce such a powerful power?"
"It seems to be that little girl." said the evil demon.
Qin Shi was stunned, and then his curious Zhang Ling'er frowned suddenly.
I saw that a huge pit that could not be seen appeared out of thin air where Zhang Ling'er was. All the surrounding earth was shattered, and even the sword pillar in front of her was shaken away.
Qin Shi frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, it seems that this is caused by the incompatibility in her own body. It should be the explosion caused by her attempt to control the power of the sword energy but failed." The evil demon analyzed.
"Is there such a thing?"
Qin Shi Ding Shen looked at him and indeed, no matter how evil demons expected it, the countless sword energy powers around Zhang Ling'er were concretely transformed into golden sword lights, and pointed all the sword blades at Zhang Ling'er in a very resistant way.
"Not integrated? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. She is Zhang Hun's granddaughter, and there is no reason why she cannot integrate the power of the sword energy." Qin Shi asked in confusion.
The evil demon shook his head: "That may not be possible. No one can absorb the power of alien species by relying on his talent. The little girl Lu Ruhua should have told you before that all alien species have unique abilities, and it will cost a huge price to swallow it and turn it into your own use."
Qin Shi nodded. Lu Ruhua really mentioned this to him, just like he had to endure endless worldly suffering if he wanted to absorb the power of purgatory.
The evil demon continued: "The power of this sword energy is the same. If I am not mistaken, the price of controlling the power of this sword energy is to have extraordinary sword skills and understanding of the sword art."
Qin Shi suddenly realized, but then frowned and said, "But, she should not be worse than anyone present when discussing swordsmanship and understanding of swordsmanship, right? After all, she is Zhang Hun's granddaughter?"
"That's not." The demon smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although Zhang Ling'er is Zhang Hun's granddaughter, she has not practiced swordsmanship in the Sword Sect since she was a child. All she inherited is Zhang Hun's spiritual power inheritance, but there is really nothing in the swordsmanship. And from her, I can feel more of it, but my evil demon clan, mastery of evil spirits."
"So that's it." Qin Shi nodded in understanding and said, "It's indeed possible that this is true, but how can I master it? My situation should be similar to hers, right? I have never focused on swordsmanship."
"Indeed, you may be far inferior to Haoyue when it comes to understanding swordsmanship. Fortunately, you have been using swords over the years. Although you lack understanding of swordsmanship, you have made up for this for you in terms of experience." The demon smiled.
"That's right?" Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he looked full of gratitude: "If it weren't for a mistake, I probably would have been in this explosion now, right?"
The evil demon nodded undeniably.
Qin Shi sighed in fear: "It's so fucking scary."
"Ling'er!"
Seeing this on the Supreme Glory Platform, Zhang Hun stood up suddenly, his old eyes flashing with sadness.
Bang!
Suddenly, in the smoke caused by the explosion, a very strong black air wave shook out, like a series of fierce ghosts, with ferocious fangs backwards towards the power of the sword energy.
A jade hand poked out from the ruins, grabbed a wisp of sword energy, and grabbed the void.
boom!
The power of the sword energy was instantly shattered and disappeared.
A embarrassed figure jumped out of the huge pit. At this time, Zhang Ling'er's jade-faced face was ashen. The explosion just now was too powerful. Most of her skirt was shattered.
"Hmph, I can't use it for me, what's the use of me keeping you?"
Zhang Ling'er snorted coldly, and then her eyes turned cold and she stared at the huge sword pillar.
"Ghost Shadow·Thousand Killings!"
"roar!!!"
Immediately, Zhang Ling'er tore the space in her chest apart, and thousands of ghosts rushed out crazily, as if they were knocked over underworld. In an instant, the sword pillar was blocked by the ghost.
boom!
The earth below the sword pillar was shattered directly, and the sword pillars were trembling wildly.
Rumble!!!
With a loud bang, it was unbelievable that the sword pillar collapsed at this moment.
For a moment, the audience was stunned, and even Qin Shi stood up in shock.
"Is this true?"
"My God, she actually destroyed the pillar of sword energy?"
"What a terrifying attack power..."
Zhang Ling'er's actions made countless elders on the elder's seat frown for a moment, and Fang Qing's eyes flashed with cold light on the glory stage.
Wanyue was also moved, and then she suddenly smiled: "Haha, it's interesting now."
Bang! Bang bang bang!
Shortly after Zhang Ling'er destroyed the sword pillar, several other disciples were overwhelmed by the sword pillar and were eventually eliminated.
Until there were only ten people left in the audience, the law enforcement elder stood up. He looked at Fang Qing. Fang Qing flicked his jade finger that he understood, and ten majestic sword lights shot out. The sword pillars on the ring stopped and turned into stone pillars without any vitality again.
When the stone pillar was destroyed, the shortlisted place had already appeared.
The remaining ten disciples were also the finals, namely: Qin Shi, Haoyue, Yunyan, Miao'er, Su Zhe, Mu Yu, Long Tingyan, Su Zhe's subordinate Yan Yi, Liu Yutong in the 12th group of the preliminary round, and Zhang Hun's granddaughter Zhang Ling'er.
Among them, it should be Zhang Ling'er and Miao'er. Zhang Ling'er needs no need to say anything. Her shortlist is too special. She is the only one who can destroy the Pillar of Sword Qi in the history of the Sword Sect.
As for Miao'er, it is also an exception. She did not rely on the power of the sword energy to persist in the offensive of the sword pillar. Like Zhang Ling'er, she did not have any mastery of sword skills. The reason why she was shortlisted was entirely due to brute force that she had fought with the sword pillar head-on and broke into the siege.
This made Fengsha on the elder's mat even more worried, and a little darkness flashed in the old eyes.
"The quota for the semi-finals has appeared, and the ten disciples on the stage are the glory of my Sword Sect."
"The sect has prepared generous rewards for you, but the other disciples do not need to be discouraged. We also see your efforts. After the competition is over, you will all have the opportunity to be reused."
"Okay, our annual disciple competition has reached this point, and it has reached the last critical moment. Everyone has a temporary rest. After half an hour, let us witness the last moment together."
The law enforcement elder said, and then countless elders of the Sword Sect began to maintain order and sent all the injured disciples to Tianxiang Pavilion for healing.
Qin Shi, Haoyue and others left the arena and came to the place where Yuyue rested.
When Yu Yue saw a few people, she endured the pain and was about to sit up: "How is it?"
Haoyue took the lead, held him down, and said, "Okay, don't get up. You're so angry. Don't worry, in order to avenge you, I have tried my best. Shi Tou, and Miao'er have all entered the finals."
"Really?" Yu Yue smiled happily, and then she flashed in her eyes again with unwillingness and sadness.
Seeing this, Qin Shi said: "Don't be too sad, you should recover from your injuries here. I will find a way to get you back."
"That's right, don't you be dissatisfied. Isn't it that beautiful girl Qing'er? If I'm injured and there's a beautiful girl around me who is willing to take care of me like this, I'll go out and find a place to break my hands and feet." Haoyue smiled carelessly, and his smile was filled with bitterness and self-deprecating everywhere, and shook her head: "It's just a pity, I don't have this kind of blessing."
Qin Shi frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say much. He felt that it was not the time to tell him about Ye Feng's wall, but just glared at Haoyue: "Don't talk sarcastic here, I want to say something."
"What's the matter?" Haoyue said indifferently, but immediately he realized something was wrong, because an extremely rare seriousness flashed on Qin Shi's face.
"In the next final, you and Miao'er won't participate."
"Why?" The two of them opposed excitedly at the same time: "I don't want it, I want to avenge my brother-in-law!"
"That's right, not me. I finally squeezed into the top ten. Do you know what a great honor this is? I also want to get a good ranking and then wait until I can go out to show off my romance in the future." Haoyue pouted unhappily.
Qin Shi sneered mercilessly: "Good ranking? Who do you think among these people in the finals, you can beat them with your strength and cultivation?"
