Chapter 280 Gu King Champion, out! Time earrings, now!
"Promise Senior Sister that you will never get involved in court disputes... let's not think about those rights and status, okay?"
After that night, Wang Yanqing's words often echoed in Li Guanqi's mind.
And many years later, this sentence also made him face his true heart. After he had grasped certain things, he also took the initiative to abandon those things and just be his original self.
But these are things for later.
That night, the moonlight was beautiful.
As for Li Guanqi that night, he actually didn't fully understand why his senior sister said this to him.
And Wang Yanqing did not give an answer to his question.
But of course there is speculation.
Chi Yuanan.
The legendary "Poetry and Painting General" should have a very bright future. The five-element level is definitely not the limit, and the seven-star level may not be the limit. With the speed of his cultivation, it is very likely that the ancestors of the Chi family have not been able to reach it.
Reached...the eighth realm of martial arts.
But, no one can see it.
Due to the power struggle within the Daluo Dynasty, he died forever outside the walls of Jinjing City.
Of course that man understood the machinations of Yun Guozhu, Zhou Xuanwu, and Wei Guozhu.
But he finally chose to fight to the death.
For the Jinjing City's Jinjing inventory, and for the countless ordinary people in Jinjing City.
If Chi Yuan'an had not led the army and joined the army, wouldn't he have been involved in this power vortex and wouldn't have died young?
"Promise Senior Sister that you will never get involved in court disputes... let's not think about those rights and status, okay?"
These words are Wang Yanqing's dissuasion to Li Guanqi, and are the heartfelt words from the senior sister to her junior brother.
Rights are poison.
But that night, Li Guanqi did not give a "good" or "bad" answer.
He just hugged Wang Yanqing gently and said:
"I will always be me."
Then the pair of sisters and brothers tacitly agreed not to talk about the matter anymore and began to practice the "Four Pillars of Heavenly Jue".
It's just that all the mysteries of this martial arts secret can only be realized after truly breaking through to the Four Symbols level.
For Li Guanqi now, the only thing that needs to be considered is to open up the first section of the divine vein in his left arm to reach the four-image level.
Of course Li Guanqi failed.
Under Wang Yanqing's guidance, he had mastered all kinds of theoretical methods and techniques for opening pulses, but if he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it.
The "time" has not yet come.
The opportunity to break through has not yet appeared in front of Li Guanqi.
He was not in a hurry.
Breakthroughs in martial arts should not be rushed.
In the next few days, Li Guanqi continued to practice step by step, trying to open his pulse, waiting for the opportunity to break through.
Of course, if you still can't wait, then you can only "fight" for it.
But before that, the first person to arrive was the chance to break through the realm of the third-level conjurer.
The Gu King Contest begins!
…
…
"I am Mo Xie Lin! On behalf of the Mo Xie family, I welcome you all!"
The sun is high!
The market square of Moye Gu Village, the largest open space in the village, did not have any vendors setting up stalls on this day, but the number of people gathered here was several times greater than usual, with nearly 50,000 people crowded.
At this moment, countless whispers gathered together, forming huge waves of sound one after another!
The structure of the market square is also very different from usual.
It's not flat ground anymore.
Instead, it turned into an underground staircase-like structure leading to the ground. It went directly hundreds of meters underground. Rows of stairs formed rows of seats. Countless spectators sat on them, cheering and waiting for the start of the game.
At the bottom, there is a circular arena with a radius of several hundred meters, made of special brown rocks.
Soon, the curse insects of all the contestants will collectively enter the arena and fight in a melee.
At this time, the young patriarch of the Moye family and the person in charge of all external affairs of the Moye family - Mo Xie Lin.
This young man, who covered his eyes with a piece of white cloth and was wearing a luxurious purple robe, stood beside the ring and delivered his last speech before the game to tens of thousands of spectators around him.
He is sixteen years old this year, barely reaching the average age for the awakening of natural magic. He has not yet awakened his own natural magic, and therefore has not yet condensed the core of the spell.
A mere unworthy apprentice.
But the four-level foreign magicians around him also had to be polite to him.
Because Mo Xie Lin is not an "individual" in many cases, he represents the voice of the entire Mo Xie family.
And even if he is a person, even if he is weak now, he actually represents a five-element level magician in the future.
The young patriarch of the Moye family has almost never produced waste in history.
"Perhaps, some of the friends present are not attending this event for the first time."
Mo Xelin made a secret with his right hand, flashed black light, and released a loudspeaker spell, spreading the sound to every corner of the venue:
"But in order to take care of some of our new friends, please don't find me, Mo Xielin, too verbose and reiterate the rules of the Gu King Contest.
First of all, the person who can be called the King of Gu is not a type of curse insect, but a curse insect.
Therefore, this competition does not support the participation of group curse insects, only individual curse insects are supported.
Secondly, according to the rules of our Moye family over the years, only Liangyi level curse insects can participate.
Also, in this competition, the Insect of the King of Gu is selected, not the owner of the Insect of the Gu King, so the auxiliary spells of the Insect Spell Master are not allowed to be used.
In the competition, any action that interferes with the killing of curse insects will be regarded as cheating and a provocation to our Moye family. Please respect yourself.
Then, this competition is a melee elimination system. Fight to the end, there is no rest, there is no best-of-three games, and there is no resurrection mechanism. One battle determines life and death. The curse insect that survives to the end is the Moxie Gu of this competition.
king!
The real Gu King Insect should have been born in continuous melee fighting, rather than fighting one round and resting one round.
Now.
Let’s welcome this year’s contestants!”
"Oh oh oh!!!"
The entire venue suddenly burst into cheers like a roaring tsunami.
Naturally, those magicians will not make any noise, but the people who come here to watch are not only the magicians, but also a large number of ordinary people who come to join in the fun. As people from southern Xinjiang, what they like to watch most is insects fighting.
.
"Jie..."
"呲呲......"
"Susu..."
"Ji ya..."
Countless strange noises were heard, and entrances opened one after another below the arena area, from which cursed insects poured out one after another.
Among them are cursed insects the size of ordinary mosquitoes and flies, which at first glance want to win with poison, and there are also large cursed insects the size of tigers and leopards, which want to fight purely physically.
There were about a hundred curse insects of different shapes gathered together.
in.
There are several top-quality Liangyi-level curse insects in excellent condition, which have attracted the attention of many spellcasters.
For example, one is about the same size as a tiger and looks like an enlarged version of a black mantis, but it has six slightly transparent green wings on its back. It attracted the attention of many people as soon as it appeared.
and discussion.
This is the curse insect belonging to Li Guanqi.
It was the ending reward of the original simulator.
According to the simulator's usual style, this kind of curse insect should be the most expensive one he bought in the simulator with the Gu City's championship trophy and an old four-elephant level magician.
Curse insect.
"Junior brother, I saw your bug."
In the first row of auditoriums closest to the arena, Li Guanqi and Wang Yanqing sat side by side.
The Gu King Tournament is a competition for cursed insects. The master is not allowed to interfere. He can only give the order "allow to fight", and then he can't do anything more.
So there is nothing wrong with the contestants sitting in the audience.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Li Guanqi looked at his huge mantis and asked Wang Yanqing with a smile.
"..."
Wang Yanqing was speechless.
"What kind of woman do you think would find these disgusting bugs beautiful?"
"Shhhhhhh! Senior sister! Keep your voice down, this is Southern Xinjiang. In the myths and stories of their southern Xinjiang people, the Gu gods often wander around the world in the form of insects. I can't say it's disgusting."
…
…
Somewhere in the audience.
An old conjurer at the level of four elephants looked at the black mantis in the ring with surprise on his face.
"Master, why does that curse insect look so much like the 'Mantis Fang' you recently cultivated?"
Next to the old magician, a man from southern Xinjiang dressed as a wealthy businessman asked in surprise.
"I can't even figure it out..."
The old spellcaster glanced at the mantises in the ring, and then at the "mantis fangs" sleeping in his space ring, with an expression on his face becoming more and more surprised.
"It's really weird."
"Perhaps this is the secret of insects. In another place in the world, another person who has never met the old man has actually cultivated a cursed insect that is exactly the same as the old man's masterpiece. Oh, it can be considered fate."
…
…
"Now!"
"As the young patriarch of the Moye family, I announce that this Gu King Tournament has officially begun!"
On the arena, following Mo Xielin's order and departure, the owners of the hundreds of cursed insects also issued instructions to allow the battle, and a melee of cursed insects that swept hundreds of meters across the arena finally began.
!
There is an undetectable small curse insect that penetrates into other curse insects and poisons this large curse insect to death in just a few seconds.
There was also a curse insect that neighed and exploded with spiritual power, killing all the curse insects around it, including the little poisonous insect hiding in the corpse.
Several large curse insects also began to run rampant. Those sharp mouthparts and sharp-edged limbs were like the most terrifying murder weapons, setting off a whirlwind of flesh and blood on the ring, with countless carapace and blood splattering in different colors.
The bloody and brutal melee between cursed insects is extremely fast-paced!
If the fight continues like this, it will hardly take half a quarter of an hour before the Gu King emerges victorious.
Soon, out of the hundreds of curse insects, there were only about seventy left, then more than fifty, then more than thirty, then more than twenty...
There are only a dozen of them until now.
"Pfft!"
A black mantis was unstoppable on the field. The two mantis blade arms were simply the most powerful killing weapons. All the cursed insects that dared to attack it were chopped into pieces.
The black mantis is no longer black now. Its carapace is stained with colorful curse insect blood. Its scarlet eyes are turning, as if it is trying to find the next target.
But no more.
For a time, none of the cursed insects on the field dared to approach it anymore, and they all found other opponents.
Since there are still soft persimmons to pinch, why do we have to deal with hard ones?
The black mantis just stood in the corner, getting a brief respite.
In addition to Li Guanqi's curse insect, there are actually three other curse insects that also received this treatment. They stood in the four corners of the arena, like the "Four Heavenly Kings", looking at each other and confronting each other.
.
"Junior brother, I feel like you can't win?"
In the audience, Wang Yanqing glanced at Li Guanqi beside him and said hesitantly: "Although I don't understand curse insects, judging from the ability shown, your curse insect is obviously not enough to defeat the insects in the other three corners? Or is it?
Say...that big black mantis of yours, what other special abilities does it have?"
Li Guanqi just smiled and said nothing.
Gone.
Mantises have no special abilities.
But his master has.
"Pfft!"
Soon, in the center of the ring, a cursed insect that looked like a seven-star ladybug, but was about the size of a goat, with two broadswords forelimbs, killed the cursed bugs in front of it. Only five cursed bugs were left on the field.
Gu King Contest.
What is Gu?
Raising gu means fighting in a melee. Among the killings, the strongest one who survives to the end is chosen!
And now, the Gu King of this Gu King Competition will be selected from these five curse insects.
"Pfft!"
However, the next moment, the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the corner seemed to understand each other tacitly, and they all started to attack the fifth curse insect in the center.
After joining forces to attack the enemy, the curse insect instantly fell apart and turned into pieces.
"Grass!"
"How can the four of them join forces?!"
Somewhere in the auditorium, a burst of angry curses suddenly erupted... Obviously, it was definitely the owner of the dead curse insect.
"Qiang!"
"Jie——"
After the fifth curse insect was eliminated, the remaining four curse insects picked their opponents almost instantly, caught each other and fought each other, dividing them into two battlefields.
Li Guanqi's mantis faced a similar strange curse insect with two long-bladed limbs. They fought back and forth with each other. When the long-bladed limbs collided, there was a sound of gold and iron, and bursts of sparks.
!
The two of you come and go, which brings danger.
However, the mantis finally made one wrong move and gradually fell below. If it continued, defeat was doomed.
auditorium.
Li Guanqi sat on the stone steps, watching this scene expressionlessly.
His gaze was firmly fixed on the long-bladed curse insect.
The talent of accessing the secluded world.
Order the same level of cursed insects!
stop!
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, the body of the long-bladed curse insect froze. Although it only lasted for an instant, the moment was enough for the mantis to seize the opportunity and swing its blade arm several times, directly cutting the long-bladed curse insect into dozens of pieces!
"Fuck! So powerful?!"
"Sudden counterattack!"
"I saw it wrong. Why did I feel that the curse insect on the opposite side suddenly stopped?"
"Is there any?"
"Is there...?"
"Whatever!"
The audience in the audience immediately started talking after seeing this scene.
Li Guanqi, on the other hand, was sitting next to Wang Yanqing, smiling.
The activation of the Netherworld talent will not cause fluctuations in spiritual power and mental power at all. No matter how the people around you look, there is no sign of outsiders tampering with it.
"ha."
Wang Yanqing also smiled.
He didn't say.
She didn't ask either.
But she knew that this junior brother must be up to something again.
"Bang!"
At this time, the winner was also decided on another battlefield.
A curse insect, which was the size of a brown bear and looked like a large erect cockroach, waved its "meteor hammer" right arm and directly smashed the curse insect in front of it to pieces.
"Only two left!"
"Final! This is the final!"
"Who will win? Who will be the Gu King?!"
"I bet on that big mantis!"
"Are you kidding me? That big hammer bug is so powerful. It hits everyone with a hammer. It must be the Gu King!"
"It's Mantis!"
"It's a hammerworm!"
"Mantis!"
"Hammerworm!"
The noise in the auditorium became louder and louder. As the melee between curse insects came to an end, the audience's emotions were also brought to its peak.
"Jie——"
The hammer curse insect let out a violent scream, waved its right arm with the hammer and rushed towards the mantis insect!
auditorium.
Seeing this scene, Li Guanqi activated his talent to connect to the underworld again.
In fact, the best strategy is to fight to the point where they are inseparable, and then use some tricks to let his mantis win. This is the most seamless, but...
The mantis doesn't live up to expectations!
Anyone familiar with the matter can see that under normal circumstances, the mantis worm is definitely no match for the hammer worm. If a fight breaks out, it will never be inseparable. Basically, they will be at a disadvantage once they fight.
so.
The next best thing, the second best strategy, is to make dangerous moves and make people think that the mantis won by "gamble"!
"call out!"
The mantis worm waved its mantis blade arm, instead of retreating, it advanced and rushed towards the strong hammer beetle!
"What is it going to do?!"
"It wants to compete for speed!"
"It wants to bet! Before the hammer bug's bolas hits it, it can use its own blade arm to cut off the forelimbs of the hammer bug's bolas!"
In the auditorium.
The hearts of countless viewers were in their throats.
On the stage.
Mantis bugs and hammer bugs are rushing towards each other.
The mantis blade arm of the mantis insect is raised high.
The forelimbs of the hammer bug's meteor hammer have already been swung out.
"..."
Li Guanqi watched this scene quietly.
Activate the talent to connect to the secluded world!
Slow down!
Suddenly, "somehow", the swing speed of Hammer Bug's meteor hammer slowed down for "no reason".
And this time, it was fatal enough.
"Pfft!"
The mantis worm rushed in front of the hammer bug in an instant, and before the meteor hammer hit it, it swung its mantis blade arm and cut off the hammer bug's bolas forelimb!
Green blood splash.
A meteor hammer's forelegs flew high into the sky!
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Without this most lethal organ, the hammerworm is like fish meat that is left to be slaughtered. It is directly smashed into pieces by the mantis and cut into pieces!
"oh!!!"
"Win! The mantis won!"
"A soldier makes a dangerous move! What a risk-taking move!"
"Win! Win! Win! Mantis won the bet!!! I won the fucking bet too!!! Got rich!!! Woohoo!!!"
The audience immediately burst into earth-shaking cheers!
And soon, these completely different cheers gradually turned into a rhythmic sound: "King of Gu! King of Gu! King of Gu!"
On top of the entire arena.
The only cursed insect still standing is the mantis covered in blood!
"Sister, I won."
Li Guanqi adjusted his sitting posture and prepared to go on stage to receive the award.
"Uh-huh, yes."
Wang Yanqing smiled half-heartedly, "You won."
It's not the mantis that wins.
But Li Guanqi, the cheating master, won.
"Let us congratulate the birth of Gu King!!!"
Mo Xielin, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, slowly walked onto the ring, passed by the remains of a cursed insect, stood next to the bloody mantis, and shouted loudly!
"Gu King!"
"Gu King!!"
"King of Gu!!!"
The people in Gu Village above the auditorium all cheered and shouted.
"..."
Mo Xelin pressed his hands around to signal silence, then looked up at the ground above and laughed loudly:
"Next, let us invite the high priest to give the owner of this Gu King champion the reward he deserves - the spirit refining worm!
Of course, in addition to this, there are also hidden rewards that everyone knows, let’s look forward to it!
Looking forward to whether he can win the favor of the high priest!
Let us welcome you too!
Welcome the arrival of the high priest!"
"Whoa whoa!!!"
Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of people.
The sky above the underground venue.
A beautiful woman wearing gorgeous sacrificial clothes, holding a wooden staff in her left hand and an exquisite red box in her right hand, slowly descended from the sky and landed next to Mantis and Mo Xielin.
The high priest of Moxie Gu Village, Sikong Wei!
At this time, the five-element-level conjurer was still wearing a white veil on his face, but his body was changed into a sacrificial robe made of branches, leaves, and rattan. He wore a wreath on his head and his left earlobe.
Wearing a delicate little earring that looks like it is woven from grass and vines...
"bite!"
"You have discovered the rechargeable item—time earrings!"
