Chapter 342: The Battle of Lingdao - the first round
The drawing of the spiritual lottery for the eleven foundation-building monks was naturally very fast. After half a cup of tea, each of the monks had a black spiritual lottery in their hands. Except for one of the monks who was lucky enough to have a bye, the remaining two needed two taels.
There is a round of battle, the loser is eliminated, and the winner advances.
The black spiritual lottery in Zhao Shoushou's hand was marked with a big "three", and on the back were the three characters Huludao. This was the only evidence that he participated in the battle for the spiritual island.
This spiritual lottery is his pass to enter the arena. If he loses it, he will be disqualified from the competition and will be fined 100 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones. Its importance is self-evident.
"There are five rounds of battles in total, and the third round is in the middle. You can have a basic understanding of the battle, and you can also have enough time to adjust your breath after the battle. It is a good position. Unfortunately, the luck is a little bit worse, and you miss the bye.
"It's over." Zhao Shoushou was basically satisfied, but he felt a little pity when he talked about it later.
The monk who won the bye draw was the one behind him. Unfortunately, this process was entirely based on luck, and other matters had no effect at all.
The first round of competition for each spiritual island basically ends within one day, and ten spiritual islands can compete every day. If everything goes well on the second-level low-grade spiritual islands, it will take at least six days.
With a slight delay in the middle, it can be postponed to ten days.
A battle between two monks with similar cultivation levels will actually not last too long, because the confrontation between the two sides will not last too long due to the consumption of mana.
On normal days, if the two monks want to successfully determine the winner, it will obviously take more time. However, on the small arena, the space for moving is not large, so it is naturally greatly shortened.
One night passed in a blink of an eye. Starting from the early morning of the second day, with the rising sun, the battle for the Spirit Island officially kicked off.
The first batch of ten second-level low-grade spiritual islands with relatively inferior comprehensive conditions has officially begun. Those targeting these spiritual islands are mainly monks in the early stages of foundation building, and they are all at the first level of foundation building.
Mainly the second floor.
These monks are mainly casual cultivators and some small families. They are from sects. They are lucky enough to use all means to build the foundation. Some magical powers are really limited.
Some of them, who are slightly shabby, even use first-level imperial weapons as a means to fight against the enemy. Zhao Shoushou really can't figure out where their confidence comes from.
Because their own strength is limited, there are not many opportunities for stalemate situations. Every battle ends very quickly. When these monks find that they are at a disadvantage, they will decisively choose to surrender.
According to the rules of the Battle for Spirit Island, once the opponent admits defeat, he must not deliberately kill him, otherwise he will be disqualified on the spot.
The first day of the competition was generally peaceful. After all the competitions were over, only three monks fell on the stage.
The main reason is simply that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. The weaker side has no chance to admit defeat and has been reduced to a lifeless puddle of flesh and blood amidst the continuous attacks like gusts of wind and rain.
For most monks who do not know the true cruelty of the inside story, they basically agree with this result. After all, where can monks travel with a certain degree of safety? This includes Zhao Shoushou.
However, the intensity that suddenly escalated from the third day gave the monks present a new understanding. A total of 80 early and mid-stage foundation-building monks participated in the competition. More than 20 people fell on the ring, and most of the remaining ones were injured.
body.
Many of the monks relied on their obviously superior strength to forcefully kill their opponents before they gave up, just for the sake of the trophies in their storage bags.
It is precisely because of the existence of this group of extremely bloodthirsty and twisted monks that every battle for the spiritual island seems so bloody and terrifying.
"No wonder the battle for the Spirit Island once every 50 years is turned into human flesh and blood, and only half of the monks can retire after each time." After seeing the true face of it, this was Zhao Shoushou's deepest sigh.
In the next few days, his main focus was not on continuing to pay attention to the ongoing arena battle. Instead, he began to check some scattered treasures on his body, preparing to use them in the upcoming battle.
There are a total of eleven monks participating in the second-level mid-level Gourd Spirit Island, and it will take at least three rounds to decide the final winner. On the surface, there are no late-stage foundation-building monks among these opponents.
All the monks, including Zhao Shoushou, were able to kill enemies all the way. Almost all of them stepped on the bones of the enemy. No one was easy to deal with.
Even though he is somewhat confident in his own strength, he dare not say that he can defeat all opponents and become the final winner.
However, Zhao Shoushou must ensure that he can save his life in the ring and must not become a trophy in the hands of others. This is a bottom line that cannot be crossed.
In the midst of the busy preparations, time always passed by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye it was already the day when the first round of the battle for Hululing Island officially began.
The comprehensive conditions of Calabash Spirit Island are not too superior among the fifty second-level middle-grade spiritual islands. If it were not for the existence of Calabash Miao, the ranking would be even lower.
Therefore, the No. 6 arena on the third day is ranked among the competition for the second-level mid-level spiritual island. The higher the ranking, the more potential in the same batch.
This point was obtained after a special comprehensive evaluation by many experienced monks from the Spirit Island Alliance, and its credibility is naturally beyond doubt.
"The first round of the battle for Hululing Island officially begins today. There is only one rule. After admitting defeat, you are not allowed to kill, otherwise you will be disqualified on the spot. You must not make mistakes because of a little greed. Please ask the two people in the first round
The person responsible for supervising "Monk Enters the Stage" is a late-stage foundation-building monk from Nandi Gate.
After briefly and emphatically emphasizing some basic rules, the first battle for Huludao officially began. Two monks, one fat and one thin, stepped onto the ring.
Every time the fat monk took a step forward, the fat all over his body was trembling. The originally relatively tight robe made people worry that it might not be able to withstand the pressure from all directions and collapse at any time.
The most distinctive thing that bears the brunt is the chrysanthemum-like smile that never stops, just like the legendary Buddhist monks worshiping Maitreya Buddha.
The other monk is in sharp contrast. Apart from a thin layer of skin, there are only some protruding bones left on the whole body, especially an obviously disproportionately large head.
This skinny monk with a bitter expression was almost comparable to some extremely rare ascetics. A rotten smell rushed directly into his nose, which was so impressive that it was unforgettable for a while.
Those who have visions must have supernatural powers. This is also an important common sense in the world of cultivation.
