Shi Jue frowned. He did not belong to the Longquan Continent, and he had no idea to serve any force in his heart. He sighed softly and got so many things from Yuewu Academy. Even if he finished doing this for them, he left without any leniency.
"Tell me the details of the game." Shi Jue said.
"The competitions have been held in the four countries of Xuanwu, Zhuque, Qinglong and Baihu over the years, and this year they are held in Zhuque City." Qin Yantong said: "Each principality sends twenty people, and the seven empires sends fifty people. Those who enter the top 100 will receive rewards, and the higher the ranking will be. It is said that the top three will receive rewards for immortal weapons.
This is the tradition of Longquan Continent. In the past, the pharmacist and pharmacist competitions were held at the same time. Because of the great changes ten thousand years ago, the pharmacist and the pharmacist temple were suppressed by the temple, and now only martial arts competitions are held.
Those who perform outstandingly will be recruited by the Seven Empires and the Eighteen Sects. It is a great blessing for all students. However, the people sent by the Principality are not the best students in the academy."
Shi Jue nodded. No matter which principality was, they would not send out their outstanding talents. But in order to deal with this competition, they could not give up too bad people to deal with it, and could only take a half-supported attitude.
"In the past, when the three major forces of the Holy Temple existed, the Holy Temple ranked the country and then rewarded the countries with high rankings. The competition became the biggest event in Longquan Continent." Qin Yantong smiled and said, "Now this kind of grand occasion no longer exists."
"The competition should be controlled by the temple, and this situation is also something the temple likes to see." Shi Jue thought for a while and said, "Can the students leave freely after participating?"
"I don't know. I'm very likely to ask the students for their own wishes." Qin Yantong said: "I have heard that some people hope to leave the college, and some people will come back. After all, this is their motherland. The team is just an ordinary teacher."
"When will you leave?" Shi Jue asked.
"Three days later." Qin Yantong said.
"Okay. We will leave Yuewu Kingdom in three days." Shi Jue nodded and said, "You can prepare too."
"Yeah." Qin Yantong nodded. The two of them exchanged some of the gains and losses in martial arts. Qin Yantong was completely a student in front of Shi Jue, and her progress in martial arts was inseparable from Shi Jue.
...
Zhuque City, the capital of Zhuque Kingdom, is slightly larger than that of the capital of Longquan Continent. It is said that the initial place where humans first move was the holy land of Longquan Continent. The holy land exists in the central mountain range of Longquan Continent.
Then it gradually expanded outward. These cities were witnesses of human expansion and were strongholds for humans to fight against monsters. After countless years, Zhuque City has become the central area of Longquan Continent.
Therefore, the scale and style of these cities are the same. The only difference is the symbolic architecture of the city. There is a statue of the demon beast Zhuque in Zhuque City. Every city in Longquan Continent has a legend and a story. This area was once the territory of the demon beast Zhuque, and it was taken from Zhuque's hands, and Zhuque became a powerful human mount.
The city walls of Cangsang still record the traces of humans fighting with monsters at that time, and the traces caused by monsters on the city walls are still preserved. The city is now just a symbol, a symbol of a country.
"Master, there is a kind of call from the same kind, asking me to come over." The Suzaku on his shoulder came over.
"Is there any danger?" Shi Jue asked.
"It shouldn't be, right in the forests in the north. It's a great help to my evolution, and this is my opportunity."
Zhuque City, the divine beast Zhuque that becomes the mount, must be related to this divine beast Zhuque.
"Go and be careful." Shi Jue said.
"Master, don't worry. I will find you as soon as possible. I am your blood sacrifice monster, and I can find you at any time."
"good."
The Vermillion Bird turned into a red shadow and left in an instant. Shi Jue felt a little disappointed.
"Why is Zhuque leaving?" Qin Yantong asked curiously when she saw Zhuque suddenly leaving.
"This is Zhuque City, it must have something to do with it. It says it wants to find its own opportunities." Shi Jue said. He doesn't want to say it too clearly. No matter how close people are, he will keep a little secret.
"Oh." Qin Yantong nodded.
What to do? Shi Jue has been thinking about a question. Should you let go of Qin Yantong? If you want to make her stronger, Shi Jue must let go. This time it is an opportunity for her. The sect that can produce Taiyin Heart Technique and Taiyin Sword Technique must be a famous sect.
This time, someone will definitely be sent to participate in the competition, and Qin Yantong will definitely be discovered by them. If she is invited, would she want to let her leave?
"What's wrong with Shi Jue?" Qin Yantong asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Shi Jue came back to his senses and said in his heart, let's talk about the future slowly. Everything will go with the flow!
"Let's go." Qin Yantong said, holding his hand.
The students of Yuewu Academy were arranged to rest in designated places by the Zhuque Kingdom.
...
The arena area is not very luxurious, but it is not small in scale. The residential area and the viewing area have a complete range of supporting facilities. From the scale, you can see the prosperity of the past. But now it seems a bit deserted. There are only a few thousand people in the living area that can accommodate nearly 10,000 people. There are not many spectators in the viewing area. It is really a bit sad that the past event has not fallen to this point.
After they were placed, the teacher who led the team disappeared. Only one student was entrusted to manage them. Twenty people came to the lottery office together. Shi Juecai learned about the competition system.
In the first round of group knockout round, all contestants were divided into four large groups, and each major group was divided into ten groups. Two rounds of elimination were performed, leaving 400 contestants, and only one hundred were left in each group, that is, ten contestants in each group.
Then the round-robin competition is held according to the group, and the two qualifying rights are decided. The third and fourth places in the group will determine the remaining five. The top 100 of the competition will be generated. Then the first group will be eliminated, the second and third groups will be eliminated, and the top 50 will be decided.
The fifty players were re-divided into four groups, and through the round-robin point system, the top two players in the group entered the quarterfinals. After the quarterfinals, the knockout system was adopted to conduct the ranking competition. The quarterfinals players finally had a friendly match with the temple disciples.
It can be seen that all the students are not very enthusiastic about the competition. The referees are not enthusiastic. Many students abstained from the first and second rounds. Shi Jue and Qin Yantong both advanced for no reason.
When he returned to his residence, Qin Yantong said to Shi Jue: "Do you know why everyone actively abstained from power?"
"Why?" Shi Jue asked with a smile. There were a few female students who were traveling with him, and she must have heard a lot of news again.
"Not the eight players in recent years have survived," said Qin Yantong: "Many people only show off their hands in the first round of round-robin matches in order to find a good sect. Then they directly admit defeat and leave. According to their statement, those who enter the end are fools."
"What do you think?" Shi Jue frowned and said.
"Let's abstain from the right." Qin Yantong thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we are ready to leave."
"I want to see the power of the temple." Shi Jue thought about it and said. Abstaining from power, he did not have this kind of character. Although he has always focused on using wisdom to solve problems, he never retreated when facing opponents. This is his bottom line. He only used some strategic strategies in the face of the old snake, and never gave in.
If you want to pursue the peak of martial arts, you cannot leave any flaws in your heart. No matter how powerful the opponent is, you cannot retreat at all. Shi Jue has always adhered to this belief.
"I'll be with you." Qin Yantong said. She knew that once Shi Jue decided, no one could control his ideas. Since he chose him, he would always be with him. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would not give up.
...
The battle was a bit interesting in the next few days. The students who participated began to show their strength. Qin Yantong fought several times and won with a countermeasure advantage in combat experience.
Shi Jue unexpectedly never made a move, just like going through the motions. Even if some people want to fight him, as long as Shi Jue's momentum is released, all of them will voluntarily abstain.
Shi Jue had never taken action but easily entered the top 100. Qin Yantong also followed him to enter the top 100 with a total victory. In the evening, an uninvited guest came to Qin Yantong's residence.
"You are." Qin Yantong opened the door and looked at a middle-aged woman and asked curiously.
"I am Tao Qing, the elder of Xuannv Sect." The middle-aged woman introduced herself kindly.
"Please come in." Qin Yantong nodded. After she arrived here, she was basically in the same room as Shi Jue, but nothing happened between them.
Shi Jue, who was practicing, opened his eyes and looked at Tao Qing. He was secretly shocked, his strength was unfathomable. He stood up and said, "Please sit down, Elder Tao." He knew in his heart that what was coming was finally coming.
After Tao Qing came in, she looked at Shi Jue and never left Qin Yantong again. Shi Jue smiled bitterly in her heart. The Nine Yin Spirit Body is also rare in Longquan Continent.
"I wonder what happened to me, senior?" Qin Yantong asked.
"Are you willing to join my Xuannv Sect?" Tao Qing asked.
"The Xuannv Sect that Elder Tao mentioned is to practice the Taiyin Sutra, right?" Shi Jue asked.
"Yes. Qin Yantong has practiced the Taiyin Sutra and Taiyin Sword Technique, and her foundation is also very solid. She also has the Nine Yin Spirit Body. After entering the Xuannv Sect, we will do our best to cultivate her." Tao Qing looked at Shi Jue curiously.
Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous young man actually saw what she was coming. She was not worried that Shi Jue and Qin Yantong would refuse. Xuanwu Sect is also one of the eighteen major sects. It was still before the Beast Taming Sect.
"I'm sorry." Qin Yantong glanced at Shi Jue and said.
"For him?" Tao Qing frowned and pointed at Shi Jue and asked. Although the qualifications are good, their strength is too weak.
Qin Yantong nodded. She didn't want to leave Shi Jue again. Tao Qing looked at Shi Jue hopefully, and she knew that only Shi Jue could persuade her.
"Yantong, the Taiyin scriptures and Taiyin sword techniques you practice are only the most basic part of the two mental techniques and martial arts." Shi Jue thought for a while and said, "If you want to become strong, you must join the Xuannv Sect."
He was very relieved about the Xuannv Sect, because the Xuannv Sect is not only powerful, but also a female disciple. The Xuannv Sect is also closely related to the Sun Palace, which ranks first in the 18 major sects. In addition to the temple, it is one of the most powerful forces in the Longquan Continent.
"I want to follow you..." Qin Yantong lowered her head and said.
