Chapter 171: The first round against Huang Tianwei
The three-day trading period has yielded some results for the time being.
And now, three days later, the long-awaited competition by various sects, to be precise, the long-awaited competition by the big sects has begun.
Speaking of competitions, Xie Xin thought of the Dahan Competition held last year.
Following the first competition, this type of competition has become a tradition in the Han Dynasty and is held every three years.
It's just different from the last time. This time, one team from each state will compete. And each state also needs to go through a preliminary round to determine its own team.
After the competition, the imperial eunuchs, the Yuan clan and the three military factions all found suitable talents. Of course, the one who gained the most was still our great Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong.
Since the issue of alliance was no longer involved, Xie Xin did not attend.
I just didn't expect that after more than half a year, I would still have to participate in a competition.
However, it has changed from an ordinary human activity to a competition in the world of cultivation.
Moreover, it is a competition with a hint of gambling. The more you win, the more you get.
As mentioned before, the competition is officially divided into three areas: high-level area, intermediate area and low-level area after calculation based on the resume, strength and other comprehensive factors of the cultivation sect.
The high-level area is a competition between sects that have been famous for a long time and are top-notch. The members are not specific, because if you win a certain number of times in the intermediate area, you will be pushed into the high-level area.
The intermediate area is a competition between sects with average levels but basically complete skills and spells. The least specific members are the intermediate area, because there are not only those from the low-level area who have upgraded, but also those from the high-level area who have fallen down.
The low-level area is a competition between some sects that have just qualified to participate, or have insufficient sect knowledge, or even have not been established for a long time. The members are generally relatively stable, there will be more new people entering, and there are also some who have fallen from the intermediate area.
sect.
The Xiaoyao Sect was originally only qualified to enter the low-level area, but after the battle with the Giant Spirit Sect, the Giant Spirit Sect fell from the high-level area to the intermediate area, and the Xiaoyao Sect was not sure why it was deemed to have sufficient qualifications and was promoted to the intermediate area.
According to the draw, if the Giant Spirit Sect does not lose in the first round and the Xiaoyao Sect does not lose, then the two factions will meet in the second round.
However, these are things that will happen later. At this stage, Xie Xin is still very careful to be wary of his opponents in the first round.
Founded by the Nanhua Immortal who discovered Langxie Palace, Huang Tianzong has gradually formed a large scale.
There are currently only three disciples, including Nanhua Immortal, and the team is only four people. Xie Xin is very curious about what kind of strength they need to enter the intermediate area.
"Speaking of which, it seems like this is the first time for us to participate in this event?" Nan Hua said with a smile after getting on the stage.
"Oh? Speaking of which, I'm curious as to why your sect can come to this area with so few people?" Xie Xin gave it a try.
"It's strange to say that Pindao thought that I, Huang Tianzong, should be in the low-level area for my first time participating in the competition. But it wasn't until the lottery was drawn that I found out that I was classified into the intermediate area." Nan Hua also looked puzzled.
"Let's not talk about this, but now I am curious about what kind of spells and weapons Huang Tianzong can come up with?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, I'm also very curious about the weapons and spells of Xiaoyao Sect!" Nan Hua was not afraid.
Characters in the Xiaoyao faction: Xie Xin, Xie Yi, Yan Xiong, Xie Zhen (elder named Xie), Zuo Ci.
Characters played by Huang Tianzong: Nan Hua, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang.
"Be careful, since the opponent is qualified to enter the intermediate area, I'm afraid their strength is not too low, especially the Nanhua Immortal who betrayed Langxie Palace!" Xie Xin warned the people behind him before the fight officially started.
"Then Xie Xin's cultivation level is wrapped in a layer of mist. Even the master cannot see through his cultivation level. The three of you must be careful not to confront him head-on!" Nan Hua also gave a little warning to the three disciples.
"Okay, let me explain the rules of the game a little bit!" The referee from the sidelines intervened forcefully.
"The first is the three rules of the game: you are not allowed to use evil magic weapons, you are not allowed to attack the opponent's soul, and you are not allowed to use fellow disciples as a shield; then there is the determination of the outcome of the game: you will lose if you fall out of the field, and you will lose if you lose your combat effectiveness.
If you raise your hands and surrender, you will lose. Finally, here is my personal advice: We are all fellow cultivators, so don’t be too harsh so we can meet each other easily in the future.” The referee was very humane and announced the precautions for the game.
Then, with his announcement, Xiaoyao faction ushered in its first arena match.
"Two golden elixir stages, two mid-stage foundation building stages and one whose cultivation level is unknown..." Nan Hua muttered for a moment.
Then, he immediately took out a handful of beans and scattered them forward.
By running the magic formula, Douzi transformed into golden-armored soldiers in a blink of an eye, guarding in front of the four of them.
"Every soldier is at least in the late stage of Qi training, so he has some skills!" Looking at the more than fifty bean soldiers in front of him, Xie Xin couldn't help but praise them.
Although the Heavenly Weapons Talisman and Seal can be directly transformed into the Heavenly Weapons in the foundation-building stage to assist in the battle, using the Talisman and Seal still requires a lot of energy consumption. The bean soldiers consume much less energy because they have bingdu as a medium.
In other words, although the bean soldiers have low combat effectiveness, they are better in numbers.
When dealing with low-level monks, bean soldiers are an absolute nightmare. When dealing with high-level monks, they are a good means of delay and confusion, providing cover for one's escape or attack.
As it stands today, the Zhang brothers are only in the late stage of Qi training, and Xie Xin and others can easily kill them. Therefore, the role of these bean soldiers should be to cover and hinder them.
"It's not over yet!" Nan Hua shouted, throwing out the beans one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the arena was crowded with more than 300 bean soldiers. If you were not careful, you might be pushed off the arena.
"Hey, hey, get off the ring like a good boy!" Nan Hua smiled proudly.
His heart was actually bleeding.
More than three hundred bean soldiers will all be reimbursed when time is up. And cultivating more than three hundred bean soldiers is not something that can be completed in a day or two.
If the thank you letter in front of him hadn't given him a very dangerous feeling, he wouldn't have been willing to waste so many pods to achieve his current goal.
"According to the five elements, Dou Bing should belong to wood?" Xie Yi smiled faintly.
He took out the Samadhi True Fire Gourd in his hand and opened the lid suddenly.
"Hey! Look at the situation clearly!" Xie Xin wanted to shout.
Of course, before these words were spoken, the true fire of Samadhi had already emerged from the gourd.
In the blink of an eye, the flames ignited the wooden bean soldiers, and the flames quickly spread to every corner of the arena.
"It's so hot! It's a disaster for the fish in the pond!" Xie Yi finally tasted the bitter pill.
These bean soldiers are scattered throughout the arena, but they are wood-type and are easily ignited by fire. Under such circumstances, although one or two of them will not be burned immediately, the fire will spread quickly and indiscriminately blaze the entire arena.
attack.
The so-called no difference means not distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy...
"Be a little more mature!" Xie Xin immediately took out a fan and started fanning it violently.
This fan is one of several intermediate magical instruments made by Zuo Ci, and its name is called the Banana Banana Fan.
As the name suggests, it is a magical weapon that guides the incoming fire to other places. The original purpose of making this magical weapon is obviously that Zuo Ci still remembers the scene when Xie Yi used a fire gourd to burn him.
Under the wind of the split-fire plantain fan, the fire immediately followed the direction guided by Xie Xin and blew toward Nan Hua and others. Along with it, the bean soldiers closest to Xie Xin that had not yet been burned were also blown back.
.
The situation immediately reversed, and Huang Tianzong was about to be eliminated at any time.
"Get out!" Nan Hua shouted.
I don’t know what method was used, but the fire that rushed towards him and the bean soldiers were instantly flown in all directions. However, this was a disaster for the surrounding audience...
It wasn't until the venue was completely cleared that Xie Xin saw Nanhua and the others.
Nan Hua was seen firmly protecting the three disciples behind his back, while he was hiding behind the enlarged Bagua Mirror. The Bagua Mirror was no stranger to the Xie Xin, it was a magical weapon owned by the disciples of Langxie Palace.
"Don't underestimate Langxie Palace's Bagua Mirror. It is made of special materials. As long as better materials are available, it can be continuously refined and upgraded. For ordinary monks, it is the cheapest and most practical magic weapon.
Got it!" Nan Hua said proudly.
But for him who had betrayed Langxie Palace, this pride was not harmonious no matter how he looked at it.
"But having said that, I really need to think carefully about the issue of bean soldiers being afraid of fire. I thought I could withstand ordinary ordinary fire, but I didn't expect that I would be so vulnerable in front of spiritual fire." Nan Hua immediately transformed into a
Scientists think and summarize their inventions.
"I just want to say, are we in a competition now?" Xie Xin complained.
"That's true, so let me congratulate you first! Because I originally planned to save this move for the finals, but now I have to use it first!" Nan Hua smiled.
The next moment, a momentum emanated from him, and then turned into coercion, permeating the entire arena.
"Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand! Huang Tian is coming!" Nan Hua shouted confidently.
"What the hell is this?!" Xie Yi said with difficulty.
"A very magical coercion, which makes people feel that they cannot fight against it, but must crawl at its feet." Zuo Ci quickly gave a pertinent analysis.
"Correct answer, this is a method of coercion that I discovered by accident through my painstaking exploration of the way of heaven!" Nan Hua smiled.
Then, he immediately released his cultivation completely.
It was at this time that everyone realized that this guy had reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
And the coercion he released became more powerful as his cultivation level was fully activated.
"I feel like I can't stand still..." Xie Yi knelt on the ground on one knee.
"It feels very bad!" Although Zuo Ci felt unhappy, he still knelt on one knee.
Although the other two golden elixir stage monks did not kneel down, they still found it difficult to breathe and their limbs were stiff.
This can't go on like this!
The four of them were thinking this, and they had foreseen that if they continued like this, even if the opponent was a monk in the Qi training stage, they could still defeat them even if they could not defend themselves well.
Not to mention, the person releasing this pressure in front of him was a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Have you had enough trouble?" Xie Xin asked calmly.
"Huh?" Nan Hua was a little surprised.
"If you've had enough fun, go down!" Xie Xin suddenly raised his head and ran over quickly.
"You! Why are you moving so quickly?!" Nan Hua was puzzled.
No matter how strong you are, it shouldn't have no impact at all!
"I can only say that your move has no effect on me at all!" Xie Xin explained after punching him.
The next moment, Nan Hua and his three students were all knocked out of the ring by Xie Xin.
"I'll give you a suggestion. Although you have touched the threshold, you haven't started yet. This is the main reason why you failed this time!" Xie Xin pointed at Nan Hua under the ring and shouted.
But he was thinking secretly in his heart: It turns out that Nan Hua is also a fellow-traveler...
