Chapter 56: Yushu faces the wind without saying a word
Late at night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the streets of Tianling County are already dark.
Li Zixiao woke up from his sleep and felt a little panicked.
She opened her eyes drowsily, and with the moonlight coming in from the window, she could clearly see the face in front of her. Yun Xi's face was only two fingers away from her, and his warm breath had already touched her.
on the face.
Li Zixiao suddenly had a question in his mind.
‘Is it really Xiao Lingyuan who has a bad sleeping posture?’
The warmth in the quilt was warm and reassuring, but Yun Xi held her like an octopus, and she still felt a little uncomfortable sleeping, as if she was being used as a pillow.
Li Zixiao twisted her body slightly and pushed Yun Xi back a little, but maybe because she didn't control the distance properly, she seemed to have touched something terrible.
"簌!"
Li Zixiao quickly retracted his hand, but after seeing that Yun Xi had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a spiritual person, she could still sleep so peacefully after being taken advantage of. This only shows that she really trusts Li Zixiao.
Li Zixiao knew this, so she finally relented. She twisted her body, changed into a comfortable position, leaned into Yun Xi's arms, and fell asleep again.
……
It will be clear the next day.
"Well..."
Xiao Lingyuan twisted her body and held her sister in her arms.
"Xiao Xi...hehe..."
She was still talking in her sleep, and her lively and active hands unknowingly slipped into the clothes of the person next to her, stroking the other person's smooth and tender skin.
Xiao Lingyuan frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong, and opened her eyes blankly.
Ye Nianhan's beautiful face came into view. She was breathing rapidly and looked a little uncomfortable.
‘I took advantage of the wrong thing…’
Xiao Lingyuan knew that she was hugging the wrong person, so she quickly retracted her hand and distanced herself from Ye Nianhan.
Although she does not dislike Nianhan, her body and mind belong to Xiaoxi, and Ye Nianhan must not take them away first!
Xiao Lingyuan sat up from the bed and looked at the time. There was only half an hour left before the meeting time.
She looked around again. Apart from her, Xiaoying and Ye Nianhan, there was no fourth person on the bed.
"Hmm? Where is Xiaoxi?"
Just when she was wondering, Yun Xi opened the door and came back leisurely.
Across the air, Yun Xi's eyes met Xiao Lingyuan's.
Xiao Lingyuan looked at her suspiciously: "Xiao Xi, what are you doing so early?"
Yun Xi said calmly: "I'm going to find someone else to sleep with."
Xiao Lingyuan's expression changed at first, and then she suddenly reacted: "Liar, who else can you find to sleep with?"
Yun Xi blinked: "Are you looking down on my charm?"
"That's not what I meant. What I mean is, besides me, who else can you have such a good relationship with that you sleep together?"
"Ha! You are so confident!"
Yun Xi made a sarcastic comment without hesitation.
"Humph! Because my relationship with Xiao Xi is the best!"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Nianhan is the one?"
"No! It can only be me!"
"Then why should I choose Nianhan?"
Xiao Lingyuan opened her mouth, revealing two cute little tiger teeth: "Then I will bite you!"
Yun Xi stepped forward, pinched her soft little face, and pulled her to both sides: "I'm not afraid of breaking your teeth! Get up now, the knockout round is about to begin today."
"I will remember it even if you don't tell me."
"Then why don't you remember what I said?"
Yun Xi was hinting at the three chapters of the agreement she had mentioned.
Xiao Lingyuan's big eyes flickered, trying to pass the test by being cute.
Yun Xi shook his head and smiled: "I really lost to you."
"Hehehe! So Xiaoxi is the best!"
Xiao Lingyuan held her arm and acted coquettishly like a little girl.
Yun Xi flicked her forehead lightly, turned to the two people who were dazed on the bed and said, "Nianhan, Xiaoying, get up."
"Okay~"
The two of them yawned while answering.
……
At seven o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at the gate of Lingtingju.
Today is the first day of the knockout rounds, and everyone got up very early.
"Classmate Yunxi, morning!"
"Lingxiao Yun, morning!"
"Good morning, classmate Yunxi!"
"Good morning Chen Qiaoxu!"
"Classmate Yun Xi..."
Standing at the gate of Lingtingju, Yun Xi received a lot of greetings. She responded enthusiastically to everyone's greetings, and she could call everyone's name accurately.
When everyone from the three schools gathered together, they walked towards the Zhutian Spiritual Field.
They did not rent transportation, but walked. The Zhutian Spiritual Field is not far away. With the walking distance of these spiritual cultivators, they can get there in at most twenty minutes, and the elimination round does not start until eight o'clock.
On the way to the Zhutian Spirit Field, everyone from Fengyun High School was walking together, discussing today's tactics with each other. Yun Xi and the others were smart enough not to disturb them, but were chatting by themselves.
Ye Nianhan's eyes glanced at Li Zixiao standing aside from time to time. She didn't know why, but she always felt that something was wrong with Li Zixiao today, as if he was avoiding them.
In the past, although she didn't chat much with everyone, she would come closer to others, but today Li Zixiao has been staying in Tianyuan's team and has no intention of getting close to them.
It would be fine if she just didn't get close, but the key was that her eyes kept drifting towards here, and her expression seemed a little guilty.
Ye Nianhan was confused, but he didn't know what was going on.
She secretly glanced at Yun Xi, who was bickering with Xiao Lingyuan, and there was nothing strange at all.
She pondered for a moment and finally gave up thinking.
……
When everyone arrived at the Zhutian Spirit Field, it was just a quarter of an hour later. After waiting for a long time, the game just started.
The person in charge of the main stage is still Wei Huating, the leader of the Tianling Alliance, and the host is still Tan Tian.
Yun Xi looked at the schedule in his hand and said, "The first game is Fengyun High School!"
Xiao Lingyuan looked at Fengyun High School. Six of their players had already stood up, ready to play at any time.
"I'm really looking forward to their performance."
Nangong Yao also nodded, and while trying to avoid Dongfang Yao's tickling, he echoed: "With Feng Weiyan here, they should have no problem surviving the first round."
Because of the appearance of the tomb, Fengyun County this year is actually not weak. Putting aside the nine major counties, Fengyun University is actually very top among the remaining universities, especially with the county king Feng Weiyan.
The son is here.
"Just watch."
Yun Xi did not make too many comments.
The knockout round is much simpler than the group stage. Even the host's introduction is ridiculously short. Without saying a few words, he directly announces that it will be included in the competition. What stands out is that he does things quickly.
"The first match on the first day of the knockout round, Fengyun University versus Wanghai University."
"Invite both players to come on stage."
Six students walked out of the two universities and came to the competition stage.
"Please ask the main players from both sides to enter the venue first."
Four more players on each side walked out and entered the secret realm.
The second they stepped into the secret realm, a huge light curtain immediately appeared in the mid-air in the center of the Zhutian Spiritual Field, highlighting everything in the secret realm.
"Invite substitute players to enter."
The remaining four people entered the secret realm again, and at this point, the competition officially began.
This is the first knockout match. In addition to the two teams playing, this game is also very important to the other teams.
Because before the knockout rounds start, everyone does not know the specific environment of the knockout rounds.
Now that the game has begun, everyone has clearly seen the arrangements for this knockout round.
Completely different from the cloud space in the group stage, the secret space in the knockout stage is a complex maze made entirely of pitch black stones.
There is no trace of sunlight inside the entire maze, and the only light source is the lighting crystal on the wall.
The internal routes of the maze are complicated, and the top is covered with black stones. This means that it is unrealistic to cross the space by flying. If you want to find others, you must go through all kinds of strange passages, and you may even end up taking the wrong path.
The road is clear.
This gloomy atmosphere is a bit like an ancient tomb.
Not only that, everyone also discovered that the players who entered the secret realm all appeared in different positions, which meant that the positions they entered were likely to be completely random. It would be difficult for even one of them to encounter them, which would bring confusion to the entire game.
Many changes.
Because if you are not careful, you may end up using more to defeat less.
In addition to the four main players, the two substitutes from both sides stay at the outermost area of the maze. There is a barrier to isolate them. They can only appear after one of their own players is eliminated.
Several pictures were divided on the light screen, clearly showing the positions of the eight players.
In order to prevent a team from avoiding the battle from beginning to end, everyone’s location will be announced to the players every ten minutes in the secret area.
The eight people who had just entered the secret realm did not act rashly, but carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Before entering the secret realm, no one would have thought that the venue for the knockout round would be so different from the group stage. Several people walked around, observing the surrounding walls and mechanisms.
This is not a simple maze. There are many formations inside the maze, and there are even hidden spiritual beasts in some places. Although these spiritual beasts will not pose much of a threat to the players, they can still be done by slowing everyone down.
Arrived.
While everyone was adapting to the competition environment, they waited quietly for the ten minutes to arrive.
"Beep——"
At a certain moment, a long cry echoed in the quiet black maze, and all the players immediately stopped.
All the spectators saw that a light painting slowly emerged on the wall next to each of the eight players on the field.
It was a detailed map of the maze. There were eight light spots on it, one of which was cyan, and the remaining four were red and three blue.
Everyone immediately understood that the cyan light spot represented themselves, while the blue point of light represented the position of teammates, and the red point of view represented the opponent's position.
"Look, Feng Weiyan's map seems a little different."
Ye Nianhan, who was observant and meticulous, suddenly said.
Everyone quickly looked at Feng Weiyan's picture. Sure enough, on the map displayed next to him, there were not only light spots symbolizing the positions of the eight players, but also the names of these players appeared on each light path! Xiao Lingyuan reacted immediately and looked at the other person: "There is also Zuo Tong!"
Zuo Tong is the captain of Wanghai University.
Everyone immediately understood: "So, the captain of each team also has additional privileges. They can clearly know the person each light point represents."
Qin Susheng in front also turned around to look at everyone and joined in the exchange: "It seems that during the game, the captain's tactical status will be improved linearly."
Everyone turned their attention to Yun Xi, and Yun Xi gave a thumbs up: "Don't worry, I'll just take the pot from the other side when the time comes!"
Everyone curled their lips and looked away.
Because many of the potential rules of the knockout rounds had not been announced before, some of the information that emerged this time made both players a little stunned.
Feng Weiyan stared at the map on the wall for a moment. The light spots on it did not move at all. He believed that it was not that all the players were not moving, but that the map could only show where the players were at a certain moment.
location.
The subsequent trends still need to be judged and figured out by themselves.
Fengyun High School has its own tactics, that is, after the map shows their respective positions, everyone gathers towards the person in the center, except Feng Weiyan.
He has the power to act alone.
Feng Weiyan pondered for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze on the red light spot named Zuo Tong.
Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Li Zixiao proved that female cultivators may not be inferior to men. Qifeng became the biggest dark horse of this year. As the captain of Fengyun County’s No. 1 seed, he couldn’t be too simple.
Feng Weiyan smiled casually, and at some point a jade slip folding fan appeared in his hand.
He waved his hand and the folding fan opened with a roar.
While he was fanning the wind, his figure flashed rapidly in the maze, and the long and loud sound echoed in the silent tunnel.
"After all, I was also second in the Dragon and Phoenix competition that year!"
……
Feng Weiyan's cool behavior obviously attracted a lot of people's attention. He has a handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and has a chivalrous temperament.
The performance at this moment actually attracted many female cultivators’ eyes to twinkle.
"Damn it! He actually let him pretend!"
Yun Xi looked at Feng Weiyan in the picture, gritted his teeth and said.
Xiao Lingyuan blinked in confusion: "What does his acting cool have to do with you?"
Yun Xi bit her lip: "Every time someone other than myself acts cool, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Everyone: "..."
So, this is Yun Xi’s true appearance.
But that's what everyone said. In fact, they all knew that Feng Weiyan was not trying to be cool, because the folding fan was his spiritual weapon, and he was an extremely rare cultivator who used the fan as a weapon.
But in the past few days of training at the training ground, everyone knew that Feng Weiyan looked elegant and graceful, but when it came to fighting, his strength was actually quite terrifying.
At least in those few days, neither Xiao Lingyuan, Nangong Yao nor Li Zixiao, Ye Nianhan took any advantage in his hands.
Feng Weiyan walked leisurely in the maze, but his speed was not slow at all.
Every time before the map is displayed, the layout inside the maze will change. If he doesn't find Zuo Tong within the past ten minutes, he will have to find it all over again the next time the maze changes.
Feng Weiyan recalled the details of the map just now in his mind.
‘Since I can see other people’s names, Zuo Tong should also be able to see them. I just don’t know how he will choose?’
Just as he was thinking this, Feng Weiyan passed through a formation and then saw a tall and tall figure.
Feng Weiyan lightly fanned his folding fan, and the wind of spiritual energy slowly gathered around him.
He smiled lightly and said: "It seems that you and I want to get together."
Zuo Tong waved his hand, and a machete appeared in his hand, and a fierce fighting spirit appeared in his clear eyes.
