Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine: Three Passes in a Row
A few days later, the second round of competition was about to begin, and the three of them came to the inner courtyard competition arena together. Although more than 300 people were eliminated in the first round of competition, there were more people at the scene than before, because everyone knew
, the game became more exciting towards the end, and the number of spectators decreased instead of increasing.
After the first round of competition, the number of participants in the competition increased to 512, with a total of 256 competitions. However, the competition became more intense as time went on, so only fifty competitions were arranged every day in the second round.
, more than 200 games will take at least five days to complete.
The procedure was almost the same as the first round. The numbers were still drawn by drawing lots. This time Qingyang got the number 29. His opponent was an eighth-level Qi Refining monk. Lu Dingshan was more unlucky and got the number 230.
No. 5, the opponent turned out to be an opponent who had perfected Qi refining. Chen Biwang was still very lucky. He caught No. 132, but his opponent's cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi refining.
Qingyang arrived at the competition field early the next day and watched a few other people's competitions from the outside. Because it was only the second round now, the strength of the disciples participating in the competition was uneven, and there were not many cases where masters met masters.
, the competition level is not very intense.
Of course, there are some who are not lucky enough. They think that they can make it to the fifth or sixth round. If they work hard, they might even get a foundation-building pill. However, in the second round, they encounter a big master and are eliminated. But the rules of the game are like this.
, they can only admit that they are unlucky.
Those who are younger are fine. At worst, if they come back ten years later, there is always the possibility of becoming a foundation-building monk. It is hard to say for those who are older. After some people lose, their eyes are dull and their faces are ashen, like zombies.
, it seems that this life is no longer interesting.
Cultivation is so cruel, just like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. The road is too narrow. If you make a slight mistake, you will fall under the bridge and be shattered to pieces. If you don't want to fall, you have to squeeze others in. No one can sympathize with the other person.
, just give up your way of life to others.
The game has been going smoothly, and soon it was Qingyang's turn. The opponent at the eighth level of Qi Refining did not pose any threat to him. Just like the first round of the game, Qingyang did not use his killing move as soon as he made a move, but also attacked the opponent first.
After struggling for a while with a stick of incense, I figured out the opponent's methods and details, and felt that the situation was about the same. Then I suddenly showed off my strength and defeated the opponent, neither revealing my true strength nor deliberately losing face to the opponent.
After the game, Qingyang returned to his residence and did not stay too much at the competition venue. He did not go to watch the game between Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang, because there was no suspense in these two games.
Afterwards, the results fed back by the two were similar to Qingyang's predictions. Lu Dingshan did not compete with his opponent at all. When it was his turn, he immediately admitted defeat on the court without any delay. Chen Biwang defeated his opponent without spending much money.
With great effort, he quickly advanced to the third round.
Soon it was the third round of the inner court competition, and the three of them came to the inner court competition field together. Although Lu Dingshan had been eliminated, his mood was not affected at all. He also came to watch the fun, it was a rare opportunity to learn and improve.
How could you miss this opportunity so easily? The competition ground was more lively than before, and there were more and more high-level monks watching the competition.
After two rounds of elimination, the number of people participating in the inner court competition has dropped to 256. Almost all those with low cultivation levels have been eliminated, and most of the remaining ones have their own strengths. Most of them are Qi Refining Perfection cultivators.
, there are about fifty or sixty people who are on the ninth level of Qi refining, Qingyang and Chen Biwang are two of them, there are more than a dozen on the eighth level of Qi refining, and there are even two on the seventh level of Qi refining. These are all because of good luck.
I have become a fish that slipped through the net, but I will definitely not be spared in the next round.
Because the number of people was small, there were more opportunities to meet acquaintances. Among the more than 200 disciples, Qingyang saw many acquaintances, such as Qin Ruyan, Ma Yingjiao, Tong Yan, Tu Honghu, Shi Yi, and Kou
The cultivation levels of Yuchang, Yang Muxin, Ouyang Jing and others have generally reached the ninth level of Qi refining or the level of Qi refining perfection. They may be slightly worse than the veteran Qi refining perfection monks in the inner courtyard, but if they perform well,
, there is still a chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Qingyang remembered that when he went to Jingfeng Mountain last time, Ouyang Jing's cultivation level was the same as his own, which was at the eighth level of Qi refining. He relied on high-grade spiritual stones to upgrade his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi refining during this period.
, I didn’t expect that Ouyang Jing would catch up with me, and I don’t know what method he used. There is indeed a golden elixir monk in the family who has a deep background.
Deng Changting also came, but he accompanied Qin Ruyan to watch the fun, because his cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he was eliminated in the first round.
In addition, there are some veteran monks that Qingyang knows, such as Senior Brother Cai from the Farming Academy, Senior Brother Qian from the Yongzhu Academy, Senior Brother Huang Yichang, Senior Brother Ji Silin who used to guard the mountain gate, etc. These people were already practicing Qi when Qingyang joined the Qingfeng Palace.
Late-stage monks. Now that twenty years have passed, their cultivation has already reached the perfection of Qi refining. However, they have been staying in the inner courtyard since they could not get the Foundation Establishment Pill.
They are not too young. If they can't get the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, it will be even more impossible in the future. This time they are all desperate. Of course, there are not no lucky ones among those people, such as often
Zhou Nianyu, who worked with Ji Silin, met Qingyang when he went to Jingfeng Mountain last time, and he has become a foundation-building monk.
After the drawing of lots, Qingyang and Chen Biwang quickly determined the number of their games. There were 128 games in the third round, and only thirty games were scheduled every day. Qingyang's game was on the third day, and his opponent was still Qi Lian.
The eighth-level monks can be said to be extremely lucky.
Although the opponent's cultivation level this time is not high, his combat experience and real strength are much higher than other monks of the same level. He is even better than some ninth-level Qi Refining monks. He can break through with the eighth-level Qi Refining level.
By the third round, it shows that this person still has some real abilities.
However, this person's cultivation level was a little low. Even if he performed at an extraordinary level, he did not cause much trouble to Qingyang. Still, after burning a stick of incense, Qingyang figured out this person's strength and methods.
Then he used the Dual Sword Technique and defeated the opponent easily.
Chen Biwang's competition was also on the third day, but his luck seemed to have run out. This time he met a disciple of the ninth level of Qi Refining. It was similar to the situation in the first round of Lu Dingshan. Chen Biwang tried his best to defeat
He defeated the opponent, but because the game was too cruel, he used all his methods, exhausted his potential, and had almost no hope for the next game.
