"Wow, Bai Qingzhou, your swordsmanship is so good!"
As soon as Bai Qingzhou returned to the resting place, Qin Yihan immediately rushed to him and said happily.
Qin Yihan and Bai Qingzhou and Ruan Xiuqi have been getting along day and night for more than three years, and now they are very familiar with each other. Moreover, the three of them also had the experience of traveling together, which made the relationship between the three of them even deeper.
Bai Qingzhou smiled slightly and said: "As long as you don't be lazy and practice more, I think you can do it."
Qin Yihan chuckled: "I'll forget it. I've already thought about it. I'll buy a lot of talismans in the future, throw them all out in a fight, and then run away!"
"Xiaohan, too many talismans may be useless. Have you forgotten the battle just now?" Ji Heng joked with a smile.
Qin Yihan turned around, with a slight blush on his face, looked at Ji Heng and said angrily: "Ji Heng, don't be proud, it's my charm this time and it's not enough!"
"Haha, how much is too much?"
"There must be at least a hundred... No! More than two hundred is considered too much!"
...
Bai Qingzhou watched them bickering with a smile, sat down in his seat again, and began to make secret calculations in his heart.
After this battle, Bai Qingzhou had a clearer understanding of his own strength.
After several years of daily sparring and competition with Ruan Xiuqi, as well as long-term practice of the "Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual", it seems that his martial arts can easily surpass ordinary people of the same level.
After recently starting to practice "Wentian Sword Art", his understanding of swords has improved to a higher level, and the sword in his hand has become more comfortable. In addition, now he has understood all the twelve sword moves in the Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual.
If used, the power will be astonishing.
Just like the competition just now, if he goes all out, he is confident that he can end the battle within thirty rounds...
"start!"
As Chen Li's voice came out, Bai Qingzhou stopped his thoughts and raised his head to watch the competition seriously.
There were eight people in the middle stage of Qi Refining, which was divided into four competitions. With Bai Qingzhou's third competition ended, the fourth competition was now underway.
On the field were two young men, each holding a long sword. They each used their own methods, spells, weapons, and spells at the same time. For a while, they were evenly matched.
Naturally, Bai Qingzhou knows these two senior brothers. They both belong to the fifth level of Qi refining. Moreover, they have known each other for a long time. Like Bai Qingzhou and others, they often compete together and learn about each other.
The methods are very clear. At this time, no one is testing each other during the fight. They just use their own unique skills to fight together.
Under the circumstances of mutual understanding, the competition did not last long. Seeing that the defeat was slowly revealed, one of the senior brothers opened the distance with a powerful blow, then directly put down his weapon and surrendered with a smile.
Chen Li immediately announced the results of the competition, and they bowed to the high platform and then stepped down.
As the competition ended, the atmosphere on the field began to become heated. Even the outer disciples in the preparation area stretched their necks, preparing to watch the next competition.
Because what follows is the battle that everyone is most concerned about today. The competition between the only two inner disciples on the field is also the only competition in the later stage of Qi refining.
"In the later stage of Qi refining, Li Xian fights against Zhang Zhiyan."
Chen Li's emotionless voice came out, and everyone's eyes instantly turned to the two people who had been sitting silently from beginning to end.
Zhang Zhiyan stood up quickly, holding a long sword exuding light blue, and walked quickly towards the ring.
But Li Xian stood up slowly, with empty hands and no weapons, and walked slowly forward with a numb expression.
"Senior Sister Zhang is still so beautiful..."
"But, why doesn't Senior Brother Li Xian bring a weapon? Do you plan to fight Senior Sister Zhang with bare hands?"
"I don't know, but I know this will definitely be exciting..."
The registered disciples were whispering and discussing.
The two slowly walked onto the ring and waited until they were in the ring.

Standing still on the stage, Chen Li cleared his throat and announced the start of the competition.
"start!"
Hearing Chen Li's words, Li Xian's hand shook, and a hemp rope stretched out from his sleeve, quickly climbed up Li Xian's arm, and wrapped his fist and entire arm.
Bai Qingzhou could see clearly that this was the strange rope that tied him up in the cottage that day.
The rope emerged from the hand, causing many disciples to lower their heads and discuss...
"[Tiantian Flying Rope] is a middle-grade yellow-level treasure. It is said that it was a spiritual stone that Senior Brother Li had saved for a long time and returned from the market to buy. It goes well with the exercises he practices." Seeing everyone's guesses, he saw
The knowledgeable Ji Heng introduced from the side.
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou thought to himself: Yellow-level mid-level...that is one level higher than his own [Shangqing Sword].
While they were talking, the two people on the field had already started fighting.
The two silhouettes crossed each other so fast that the registered disciples could not see clearly at all. They could only feel that the afterimages were constantly intersecting in the field.
But Bai Qingzhou, who is in the middle stage of cultivation, still sees it clearly.
Zhang Zhiyan uses a long sword, which is a type of melee combat. Her speed is as fast as lightning, and she constantly wants to get close to Li Xian.
And Li Xian used his spiritual energy to control the [Tiantian Flying Rope]. He used the rope with such mastery and proficiency that the two feet surrounding it were impenetrable. It also grew longer and rushed out of the defense range from time to time in an attempt to control Zhang Zhiyan's flexible body.
There was a lot of fighting on the field, and everyone was dazzled and dizzy.
And both of them are not stingy. From time to time, they take out many talismans from their arms to assist in the battle. The arena is filled with colors for a while, which is so exciting.
"Look! There is actually a [Sky Thunder Talisman]!"
When everyone saw the battle on the field, they were all talking about it.
Bai Qingzhou's eyes gleamed when he saw it. Is this the battle in the later stage of Qi refining...
Moreover, he also thought about how long he could last if he were in the position of one of the two players on the court.
But he soon got the answer. If he went up by himself, he would probably only be able to last two rounds and lose.
After all, Zhang Zhiyan and Li Xian are both at the eighth level of Qi refining, and are only one level away from reaching the full level. Their fourth level of Qi refining is four levels different from theirs. This gap is difficult to fill with their own swordsmanship.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyan was holding a sharp sword, her face was extremely serious, her sword skills were much faster than Bai Qingzhou's, and she kept approaching Li Xian.
And Li Xian's strange rope is made of unknown material. It can be hard or soft. When it is hard, it can be connected to Zhang Zhiyan's sword without being damaged. Under Li Xian's control, it can instantly weaken and approach Zhang Zhiyan covertly.
The lurking rope almost tied up Zhang Zhiyan many times, leaving her quite embarrassed. Fortunately, her body was flexible and she was able to escape narrowly every time.
The thrilling competition caused all the disciples in the preparation area to scream in surprise, but the registered disciples area was much quieter, because they really couldn't see clearly now. They could only see two black figures on the field constantly competing back and forth, and from time to time.
There were also some talisman lights coming out.
The two fought for hundreds of rounds.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, which shocked everyone. They didn't know what the spell was, but a lot of thick smoke came out of the stone platform.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud noises came from the smoke.
There was actually a wave of spiritual energy coming out of the arena.
"This is...the arena's automatic defense array!" Ji Heng exclaimed.
As soon as the automatic defense circle came out, it meant that the result of the previous competition had been achieved.
After all, this magic circle has the function of detecting fatal dangers and thus providing protection. Once this function is activated, it means that someone is automatically judged by the magic circle.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Definitely lose.
The smoke slowly dissipated, and the two figures were revealed to the curious eyes of everyone.
Zhang Zhiyan's face was pale, and there seemed to be some blood on the corners of her mouth, while Li Xian's face was also bloodless, and the [Tiantian Flying Rope] was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone's sight was blocked by the smoke at the last moment, and they were all confused about the situation. Then they all looked at Chen Li, who was standing nearest.
He must know who the winner is...
Sure enough, I saw his lips move slightly and said: "Zhang Zhiyan wins!"
"Wow!"
There was an exclamation on the field, and everyone immediately applauded.
Zhang Zhiyan regained her composure, looked around and smiled at everyone, then bowed her hands to several elders on the high platform, and then slowly stepped down from the stage.
But Li Xian remained expressionless, got off the ring without saying a word, and went directly back to the preparation area to sit quietly.
As the competition between the two ended, Chen Li stood on the ring and said sternly: "The first round of competition has ended. Please come forward and draw the winners from the early and middle stages of Qi Refining for the second round of competition!"
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou hurriedly stood up and walked out with his three senior brothers who were in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Because there are eight disciples in the middle stage of Qi refining, four of them have been eliminated after the first round, and now only four are left.
Bai Qingzhou walked at the end and looked at the three senior brothers in front of him, two were at the fifth level of Qi Refining and one was at the sixth level. He was the only one on the field who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining and had the lowest cultivation level.
"Hey... If I were to draw Senior Brother Ji Heng to compete, he might be eliminated in the first round..." Bai Qingzhou thought secretly in his heart.
Turning to look to the side, he found that seven people had actually advanced to the early stages of Qi Refining, including the energetic Ruan Xiuqi and the expressionless Meng Li.
"The drawing of lots is still based on the method of the last round. Those in the middle stage of Qi refining should come first." Chen Li said calmly.
Several people were familiar with the process, and without saying much, they lined up and stepped forward to draw.
Soon it was Bai Qingzhou's turn to step forward, touch it casually, take it out and see that it was the number one.
After seeing this, Bai Qingzhou calmed down a little. The senior who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining just now also drew one. If he wasn't competing with Ji Heng, he might still have a chance to advance to the next round.
After the middle stage of Qi refining is completed, it is the turn to draw in the early stage of Qi refining.
"Huh?" Ruan Xiuqi's voice came from next to him, "Why did I get a bye?"
He looked at Li Chen with dissatisfaction.
Chen Li glanced at Ruan Xiuqi lightly and said: "If the seven of you draw lots, one of you must have a bye, so you can advance without playing in this round!"
"But I don't want to have a bye, I want to fight!" Ruan Xiuqi shouted loudly.
Hearing this, everyone felt that there was something wrong with his brain. He had no choice but to fight with others when he had the opportunity to advance for free.
"Hey, Junior Brother Ruan, since you don't want to have a bye, you can trade with Senior Brother..." A young man behind said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ruan Xiuqi was overjoyed, turned around and handed over the number that was his turn, and said happily: "Okay..."
"no!"
Before the transaction was successful, Chen Li's angry shouts were heard.
"If you get a bye, you get a bye. You can't change it at will! Go, go, go!" Chen Li waved his hand, and then continued: "The disciples who drew number one in the early stage of Qi Refining are left to compete, and the others
Everyone go back and wait!"
After Chen Li gave the order, Ruan Xiuqi did not dare to say anything anymore and returned to the war preparation area with a sigh.
Only the two-year-old disciple who was quite young was left on the field, and then the two of them also entered the ring.
Under Chen Li's instructions, the two of them started fighting in a familiar manner.
Because some disciples with weak combat effectiveness have been eliminated, the second round of competition was more enjoyable than the first round, and the atmosphere became high again.
