This is the first round of duel. Qin Wushuang naturally does not want to use up all his abilities in the first attack. The opponent in front of him is not very strong, and it can be seen that although this person attacks very quickly, it is obvious that this is
A sign of timidity.
In other words, this opponent was a little afraid of him, Qin Wushuang.
After all, Qin Wushuang had a "bad reputation" during this period, especially after the angry executions of Qi Shengnan and the second martial saint of the Western Chu Kingdom were widely circulated in the Xingluo Palace, making people think that Qin Wushuang was a ruthless person.
Sixty-eight large guns, with more than a dozen guns drawn in a row, were swept into an arc, forming exactly an attack arc, and all aimed at Qin Wushuang's vital points accurately.
As long as any gun flower hits the opponent, it will definitely hit the vital point, and the victory or defeat will be decided in an instant. Although No. 68 is a little afraid of Qin Wushuang, he is unambiguous when he makes a move.
It's just that his attack was nothing more than a small skill for Qin Wushuang. Qin Wushuang's long whip suddenly vibrated, and spiritual power was poured into the long whip, and it suddenly stood upright, like a spear.
Swinging left and right, all the dozens of gun flowers on No. 68 were hit. With each hit, the spiritual energy ball formed by the gun flowers was hit by the dart head at the front of Qin Wushuang's long whip.
broken.
Use force to defeat force, the last thing will come first.
No. 68 was secretly surprised. His marksmanship was learned from his master. He was very powerful. His moves were vicious and vicious, attacking the enemy's weakest point that was most difficult to defend.
If the opponent used body skills to avoid it, he wouldn't be so surprised.
But this Qin Wushuang actually used a soft whip as a spear, and used the dart tip of the soft whip to smash the flowers of his spear into pieces. This method was really not simple.
With just this simple look, you can see that the gap between you and the other person is actually not that big.
The opponent attacked from behind, but he was able to smash all these extremely fast guns and flowers in the midst of lightning and flint. Whether it was his eyesight, speed, or use of spiritual power, he had already reached the peak state of the first level of spiritual martial arts.
With such methods, even the strongest core disciple of his Fifth Palace Master lineage may not be able to do more than this.
No. 68 didn't know that Qin Wushuang defeated him in this way just to force him to retreat and admit defeat.
If Qin Wushuang really wanted to use all his strength, he might be able to knock him off the ring in just three encounters. After all, this is how Qin Wushuang dealt with his opponents in the gambling ring.
Back in the gambling ring, everyone was wearing masks, and Qin Wushuang was ruthless, so he naturally had no worries.
Now, after all, everyone is competing in the same discipline, dueling on the stage, looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. They are both disciples of Xingluo Hall. He doesn't want to show too much strength. If he kills his opponent in an instant, the limelight will be enough, but it will also make him lose his temper.
It is difficult for opponents to step down.
After all, we are all Xiantian core disciples, and we all need a little dignity from each other.
Moreover, he also considered that as the second hall master, this lineage has been quite strong recently. If it continues to be strong, I am afraid that the master's side will also invisibly create some hostility among the other hall masters.
Too much is not enough...
During these days, Qin Wushuang has been thinking about what his sister said to him the last time he returned to his hometown. The killing was too much, the edge was too strong...
Indeed, Qin Wushuang did have some intention of "killing them all" when he killed the two great martial saints last time. Qin Wushuang did not regret this.
However, what his sister said made sense. It made him faintly realize whether he had really been too sharp in this period of time.
Or maybe you have forgotten the mantra of "forgive others when you have to give them mercy"?
In the current core ranking competition, Qin Wushuang has high aspirations. However, the ambition deep in his heart has not been revealed even in front of his master.
Tan Zhongchi's expectation for him is to reach the top ten.
But Qin Wushuang himself set this goal even further in his heart.
His goal is to hit the top three!
Even if he meets Wei Yi, he will not give up easily. Even if Wei Yi is already in the middle spiritual martial realm!
Fighting for the top three is fighting.
As for the opponent in front of him, it was obvious that Qin Wushuang had not yet had to fight with a competitive attitude.
Therefore, Qin Wushuang decided to suppress the state. Slowly, like boiling water, slowly until it boils.
Just like competitive sports in previous lives, whether it is a ball game or a track and field competition, you will not use your full strength in the preliminary rounds.
At the beginning, I tried my best and rushed to the top in one breath. It was difficult to stay at the top for too long.
As the saying goes, "A strong dragon will have regrets, and its profits will not last long."
Even if there is a bright moon in the sky, it still needs a process from the waning moon to the full moon. When the moon reaches the full moon, it will go downhill.
This is the principle of "profit cannot last forever".
Qin Wushuang thought about this and already had an idea. He should suppress his state for a while and move forward step by step.
Fight until the last round and release all your energy!
Only the peak duel requires the peak state!
Anyway, Qin Wushuang is not in a hurry to step down. This core disciple ranking competition lasts for half a month and there are so many rounds of competitions.
With this plan, Qin Wushuang was not in a hurry to defeat No. 68. Instead, he used No. 68's attack to find his state and practice the exquisite footwork of "Ling Yun Immortal Step".
Qin Wushuang also secretly felt that it was a coincidence that the Lingyun Immortal Steps followed the principles of the eighty-eight sixty-fourth hexagram, and the martial arts stage was also arranged according to the sixty-fourth hexagram of Fuxi.
Faintly, this stage seems to be the most suitable stage for Qin Wushuang, and it even seems to be arranged by fate.
No. 68 initially saw Qin Wushuang powerfully destroying his Spear Flowers, and thought that next, Qin Wushuang would definitely defeat him with a thunderous force.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wushuang no longer had a back-up move, but instead dodged here and there, not confronting him at all, as if he was taking advantage of his offensive to practice his physical skills.
The more this happened, the more nervous No. 68 became.
Because he had no idea what Qin Wushuang's intentions were, nor did he know when he would choose to attack.
After all, he already knew very well that Qin Wushuang was far more powerful than him.
Although he was worried, he was still somewhat grateful to Qin Wushuang. At least, Qin Wushuang was not like other top-ranked disciples who defeated his opponents by sweeping thousands of troops from the beginning.
That kind of failure is the most humiliating and difficult to accept. After all, they are both core disciples, and if they are instantly attacked by the opponent, the difference will be very embarrassing.
He had no doubt that Qin Wushuang should also have the ability to hit him instantly, but Qin Wushuang did not do so, which more or less made him feel a little more confident.
Even if it is a failure, it will be a decent defeat.
Thinking of this, he also threw away all the psychological baggage. A spear spread out like a flying dragon and a phoenix. For a while, the attack was so successful that Qin Wushuang couldn't help but praise it secretly.
"This is a good shot!"
But it is just good. For Qin Wushuang, he is afraid of the opponent's poor marksmanship, but not of the opponent's good marksmanship. The higher the marksmanship, the more it can stimulate Qin Wushuang and make his footwork more rounded.
Sure enough, once No. 68's marksmanship was unleashed, it was quite impressive. For a time, one attack and one defense seemed to be somewhat evenly matched.
Two figures were rolling around on the stage, like two silver carp flying on the stage, bringing up dust and spiritual power, and the momentum suddenly became full.
About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Wushuang just completed the sixty-four hexagram positions in a set of "Ling Yun Immortal Steps", walked back to the original place, smiled, and violently circled the snake-shaped soft whip in his right hand.
The soft whip immediately wrapped back around, forming five or six lines of binding power, extending out in circles, just enough to completely wrap around the opponent's spear.
Qin Wushuang shook his arm, and the long whip immediately wrapped around the big spear like a giant python dancing.
No. 68 felt his wrist tighten. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull back the spear.
Qin Wushuang smiled slightly, and with a rush of spiritual power, he used the soft whip to pull directly towards the spear.
Hukou No. 68 felt numb, as if his whole body had suddenly received an electric shock. His whole body was shaken, and his hand suddenly became unsteady. The spear came out of his hand and fell into the opponent's hand.
Qin Wushuang swung his long whip, turned his spear around, and the head of the spear hit No. 68's chest.
On the 68th, there was no bad luck or frustration at all, but a sense of relief. Although it was a defeat, it was expected.
To be able to lose so honorably and survive for so long, he felt that he had earned enough capital.
After all, the opponent in front of me has the strength of a seed player!
The people watching the battle in the audience and the referee were all baffled to see No. 68's expression of happiness after losing.
In the first round of the match, Qin Wushuang was not the first to win. In many matches, the winner was decided almost immediately and in a few back and forth.
After all, not everyone is like Qin Wushuang, who still has capital to spare and capital to warm up. Once they get started, they must try their best, otherwise, they may be the ones facing elimination.
Because of this, the other thirty-one duels were almost all passionate scenes of full-strength fighting. In contrast, Qin Wushuang's fight was definitely a bit dull.
After Qin Wushuang stepped down, he smiled and said nothing. He did not watch other games. For him, the sixty-four players in the first round were not enough to pose a threat to him.
The real opponents are the seeded players, the top ten or even the top five among the seeded players.
After walking off the stage, Qin Wushuang saw Zhou Fu coming up to her with a smile on her face: "Junior brother Wushuang, congratulations."
"Senior sister, there is no competition for you today, why are you here?"
"Hey, am I a senior sister? Of course I have to care about the results of you juniors. In the first round, including you, we have seven juniors participating in the duel. Currently, including you, four have passed. Yes.
One person unfortunately met a master and was eliminated. There are two juniors, so it should not be a big problem."
It could be seen that Zhou Fu's tone was still full of joy.
Twelve of the thirteen core disciples ranked among the top sixty-four. This result is indeed good!
