After leaving Luotian Palace, Luo Xiu felt that he still had not come back to his senses.
He did not get the Ice Flame Spirit Fire because Fire Lord Wu Qiu's request was that he would give him the Ice Flame Spirit Fire as compensation only if he could win the first place in this competition.
Although the spiritual fire is good, Luo Xiu will still reluctantly refuse it as taking the first place as the leader has become the target of public criticism.
But Fire Lord Wu Qiu seemed to have expected everything, and then he came up with another compensation, which was the secret method of how to fuse the power of spiritual fire and flame!
In this way, Luo Xiu's defense collapsed, because compared to the risks he would face, the temptation of this benefit was really too great.
However, Luo Xiu also knew that Fire Lord Wu Qiu was willing to offer Ice Flame Spiritual Fire and Secret Technique as compensation, and the benefits he could gain from it would definitely be more valuable than these things.
After leaving Luotian Hall, Luo Xiu contacted Qifatian and learned that he was taking Yan Yue'er with him and was staying in an inn in the city.
Luo Xiu didn't mention anything about what happened in Luotian Palace. After all, it was related to the four deities. For a person of Qifatian's level, the less he knew, the better.
Qifatian also understood these underlying rules very well. Luo Xiu didn't mention them, and he didn't ask a word about them.
After seeing Yan Yue'er, Luo Xiu couldn't help but think of Lu Mengyao whom he met in Luotian Palace. He hesitated whether to tell Yan Yue'er about Mengyao.
In the few years since they were separated, too many things have happened, and the traces of affection that emerged in the past have gradually faded away as time goes by.
After thinking about it, Luo Xiu decided to tell Yan Yue'er about seeing Mengyao.
Regarding Lu Mengyao, Yan Yue'er had heard Luo Xiu mention it before, and knew that Luo Xiu had already had a slight affection for her before they met her.
However, before the relationship between the two could develop further, Lu Mengyao was taken away by a mysterious strong man. They were separated for several years without any contact or any news.
"Luo Xiu, have you ever thought about it, since Lu Mengyao was taken away by Yu Zun, one of the four deities, why has she not contacted you over the years?" After listening to this, Yan Yue'er expressed her doubts.
.
This issue was also something Luo Xiu himself was puzzled about. At first, he even thought that maybe Yuzun had restricted Lu Mengyao's freedom for some reason.
But looking at Fairy Hanyu's attitude towards Lu Mengyao, she was like a master and a disciple, and it didn't seem like she was restricting her freedom.
Over the years, he has been active in the Tianwu Kingdom area. If Lu Mengyao wanted to find him, he should be able to find him easily.
But in fact, there has been no news for so many years.
People will change. Depending on the people they come into contact with and the environment, their mood will also be affected and change.
Yan Yue'er did not say these words. After all, Lu Mengyao was Luo Xiu's first love "qingren", so it was not convenient to say some things directly.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and many young geniuses gathered in Luotian City adjusted their energy and spirit to the best state.
In the center of Luotian City, several tall competition stages were temporarily built. Headed by the Fire Lord Wu Qiu, the four descended together!
These four general inspectors can be said to be the leading giants in the four major regions. Each one of them is radiant and exudes a touch of coercion.
A lot of people had gathered near several competition stages. The moment the four statues appeared, everyone felt the pressure of the aura and consciously held their breath. The whole place fell silent.
"This time the sacred realm is opened and the competition will be held in Luotian City, I will personally host it."
High in the clouds, Fire Lord Wu Qiu slowly spoke, then raised his hand and waved, and a lotus platform made of condensed flames appeared in the sky above the tall competition platform.
Upon closer inspection, the number of these flame lotus platforms is no more or less, exactly one hundred.
Facing the confused looks of many martial arts cultivators below, Huo Zun Wu Qiu did not explain, but said calmly: "Before the competition, there is a first round of eliminations. Whoever can sit on this flame lotus platform will be qualified to enter the second round, and throughout the process
Don’t take action if you win, otherwise you will be eliminated directly!”
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd below was in an uproar. Obviously no one expected that Fire Lord Wu Qiu would propose such a strange elimination setting.
Due to the opening of the Holy Domain this time, this competition has attracted nearly 300 young geniuses. This is only the first round, but 200 people are going to be eliminated directly?
Fire Master Wu Qiu smiled slightly and waved his hand gently, "Let's start now until the hundred flame lotus platform is full!"
As soon as Fire Lord Wu Qiu finished speaking, many of the young geniuses below couldn't hold it any longer and used their body skills to fly towards the flame lotus platform in the sky as fast as possible.
There are only 100 flame lotus platforms, and the elimination setting prevents people from taking action. Naturally, whoever is faster will be able to take the lead.
However, these people took it for granted. How could the competition test set by Fire Lord Wu Qiu be so simple?
Several young heroes who thought they were good at escaping speed had just taken off when a huge pressure suddenly came down from their heads. These people were caught off guard and fell from the sky one by one like dumplings.
Seven meats and eight vegetables.
"Everyone, be careful, this first round of competition is not that simple."
Seeing that the first few people who made a move suffered a loss, someone suddenly screamed to alert their companions.
Some people did not believe in evil and sprinted into the air with all their strength. As a result, the faster they rushed, the harder they fell. Some people were even thrown to the point of vomiting blood and fainted on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people fell down, while some of the more powerful ones could stare at the pressure from the air, and their bodies continued to rise, gradually approaching the position of the flame lotus platform.
The gap in cultivation strength is clearly reflected at this time. In addition to resisting the pressure from above, it requires a certain amount of cultivation to resist, and it also requires one's own understanding of the martial arts realm to reach an extremely high level.
An eccentric-looking girl wearing a fiery red dress seemed not to be affected by the pressure from the air at all, and quickly flew to the nearest flame lotus platform.
"It's the little princess Xuanxuan of Huoyun Palace!"
Someone recognized the identity of this weird girl, and Huoyun Palace was one of the five holy places in the Southern Region.
"How come the gap is so big?"
Many young people who come to the competition with full confidence will inevitably have this feeling in their hearts. Within their respective forces, they can be said to have had the aura of genius from childhood to adulthood, but compared with those geniuses who came from the Holy Land,
There is absolutely no comparison.
A competition where geniuses gather together will severely dampen the confidence of many geniuses.
"Canglan, do you dare to compete with me?"
A young man in black clothes with a cold face said coldly.
Not far away from the young man in black, the purple-clad Canglan who had appeared in Tianyi Restaurant was smiling and laughing without saying a word.
"Yin Xuan, since you are competing, there is no harm in competing." Cang Lan smiled lightly.
The moment the words fell, the two of them moved at the same time, as fast as ghosts. In two or three breaths, they each appeared on a flaming lotus platform.
One by one, outstanding young geniuses occupied a flame lotus platform, and many others stood out soon after.
When Luo Xiu flew into the air, he also felt the pressure. This pressure was so strong that even warriors at the Martial Emperor Realm would find it difficult to resist.
However, this level of pressure is nothing to Luo Xiu. When he ascended to the Luotian Palace, he had to bear the pressure of the four major titled Martial Lords.
"This first round has just begun, so there's no need to worry."
Luo Xiu did not occupy a flame lotus platform as quickly as possible, and he did not expect to be in the limelight at this time.
The speed of his progress was not very fast, but he seemed to be leisurely and leisurely. The way he walked leisurely was like strolling in a garden and admiring the scenery, which made people feel unpredictable.
Many young heroes saw that they were not far from the flame lotus platform, but their bodies seemed to be filled with lead and they could not move. It was like a mountain was pressing on their backs. They could not breathe and their faces turned red.
When Luo Xiu passed by a young woman whose face turned red and was having difficulty moving forward, the woman's eyes widened, "So easy? Is this guy human?"
Her thoughts fluctuated, and the young woman suddenly couldn't resist the increasing pressure, and her body fell downwards at a rapid speed.
When Luo Xiu walked up, there were still many of the hundred flame lotus platforms left. He spotted one at random and walked over in the air.
At this moment, a rough voice came into his ears, "Luo Xiu, you will definitely lose!"
Luo Xiu turned around and saw that the person who said these words was the young man who was standing behind Li Zun Duan Shitian in the Luotian Palace. He vaguely remembered that this man was called Ji Zhan and he was from the Northern Territory.
genius.
"It's inexplicable." What Ji Zhan said made Luo Xiu look confused. He had not offended this guy, so why did he say that he would definitely lose?
After thinking about this, Luo Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked straight towards the nearest flame lotus platform.
Seeing Luo Xiu ignoring him, Ji Zhan thought that the other party was disdainful of him, and there was a trace of anger in his thick eyebrows and big eyes.
boom!
Ji Zhan suddenly stepped on his feet, stepping on the air with the soles of his feet, but there was a sound like thunder and explosion, and his body was like a cannonball being discharged.
"I said, you will definitely lose to me!"
When Ji Zhan's voice reached his ears again, Luo Xiu couldn't help being dumbfounded and his face darkened.
Because this guy suddenly accelerated and immediately occupied the flame lotus platform he was planning to go over.
Not only did he snatch his Flame Lotus Platform, this guy showed off his power to him like a winner. If it hadn't been clearly stipulated that no action was allowed in the first round, Luo Xiu would definitely let this guy know why the flowers are so red!
Luo Xiu didn't think much about Ji Zhan's strange behavior. Everyone knew that Duan Shitian, the Li Zhan, and Wu Qiu, the Fire Lord, were not compatible, so he preconceived that it was because of this reason that Ji Zhan acted.
Take the initiative to provoke yourself.
"Big man, you'd better be lucky not to fall into my hands." Luo Xiu grinded his teeth, then chose another flame lotus platform and walked away.
Luo Xiu's behavior made Ji Zhan, a rough man, a little stunned. According to his idea, this Luo Xiu should argue with him.
"What an arrogant guy, I want to see how you can compare with Ji Zhan with your martial arts skills!" Ji Zhan classified Luo Xiu as one of those extremely arrogant people, but he didn't know that the reason why Luo Xiu was like this was because he was basically
Little does he know that he is the key person in the bet between the two.
