Happened in Tianshui Lake.
And today, in this Tianshui Lake, another grand event happened!
The competition venue for the Southern Division of the Qianlong Festival is set up here.
And today is the starting day for the semi-finals of the Southern Division!
A year ago, as soon as the earth's spiritual energy revived, the martial arts civilization immediately accelerated and entered a period of explosive development. On that day, many people directly broke through the shackles and became powerful Nascent Soul masters.
In the past year, new talents have continued to emerge in the ancient martial arts world, each leading the way and becoming famous overnight.
In the past year, it can be said that the ancient martial arts world has undergone the biggest change in thousands of years!
In today's ancient martial arts world, veteran geniuses compete with newbie monsters, geniuses are emerging side by side, and strong men are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Under this circumstance, the rules for holding the Qianlong Festival have also undergone some changes.
Nowadays, the Qianlong Festival is still held once a year, each time in September, but the rules are more detailed and the system is more complete.
The Dragon Group united with the seven top forces in the ancient martial arts world (Gu family, Dugu family, Dongfang family, Tianjianmen, Longhu Mountain, Liangchan Temple, Ice and Snow Sect) to establish the Qianlong Festival Committee, dividing the country into four parts: east, west, north, south
competition area, and 64 primary competition venues have been set up across the country. After preliminary selection, they will be promoted step by step. Finally, the top four will be determined in each competition area, and then they will meet in one place, where 16 geniuses will compete on the same stage.
Compete with each other to determine the final ranking of the Hidden Dragon List.
The competition venue of the Southern Division is set up in Tianshui Lake!
The Qianlong Festival Committee has arranged the Tianshui Lake competition venue well in advance, and has sent strong people from all sides of the committee to form a jury to evaluate the outcome and maintain order on the scene. They also have a very important responsibility, which is to ensure that during the competition
, there will be no harm to people's lives. After all, those who can enter the semi-finals promotion competition are all extremely talented. No matter who dies or is crippled, it is a loss to the ancient martial arts world.
The semi-finals promotion match adopts a single-round elimination system. The top eight players are randomly matched with opponents. Everyone only needs to play once, the loser goes home, and the winner can get a ticket to the national finals!
So this competition is very important.
It attracted the attention of countless people in the ancient martial arts world.
The list of the top eight in the Southern Division has already been announced, and each of them can be regarded as the leader of the young generation in the ancient martial arts world.
Among them, there is a veteran powerhouse that everyone is familiar with, the genius of the last Qianlong Ranking.
Ba Dao, Tao Heng!
Du family in Lunan, Du Xiangxiang!
Both of these two people were in the top ten of the last Qianlong Ranking, and they are well-known in the ancient martial arts world. Moreover, because they both come from small families, they have counterattacked all the way to today. Their experiences are quite inspiring, and they have attracted many young people.
Fans of people.
In addition, the other six people in the top eight of the Southern Division are - the outstanding junior of the top family Dongfang Family, Dongfang Jie!
The demon disciple of the first-class sect Binghuo Island, Sun Yanbing!
The successor of Linglong Island, Zhao Changtian!
Among the top eight, the identities of these five are public, but the origins of the remaining three are quite mysterious.
One is a bald man with a body as strong as a bear, a body like an iron tower, and a full beard, who is known as the "Tianba".
One is a man with a slender figure who wears a silver-gray mask all year round. He never shows his true face and never speaks. Everyone only knows his name as "Iron Mask".
The last person is a young woman who calls herself "Xiao Qi". She often covers her face with a gauze and wears a bamboo hat. Even in the fiercest fights, her face is never revealed.
Tao Heng! Du Xiangxiang! Dongfang Jie! Sun Yanbing! Zhao Changtian! Tianba! Tiemian! Xiaoqi!
The above eight people are the top eight in the Southern Division of this year's Qianlong Festival, and their cultivation bases are all based on foundation building!
After the spiritual energy was revived, the cultivation system of the earth's ancient martial arts world was separated from the original internal strength, Qi Jin...Tongtian Dongxuan, and instead adopted the Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir passed down from the Kunlun Immortal World...this
An orthodox system of cultivating immortals.
Those who can advance to the top eight all have foundation-building cultivation.
This level is much higher than that of Lin Fan's Qianlong Festival.
This also shows how prosperous the ancient martial arts world is now.
Amid the discussions and exclamations of countless melon-eating people around them, the top eight took the stage.
Then there is the host Balabala.
The melon-eaters in the audience were constantly surprised, whispering among themselves, making various guesses, and some even made private bets.
After a lot of nonsense, the opponents were drawn, and then the semi-finals promotion tournament officially began!
The first set of duels is Tao Heng of the Tyrant Sword vs. Sun Yanbing of Ice and Fire Island.
Sun Yanbing wields two swords, one of ice and one of fire. He has tricky moves and is very fast. He is an agile player.
As for Tao Heng, who is nicknamed "Ba Dao", he has a wide range of moves and is unparalleled in domineering power. He is a player with explosive power.
After the two came on stage, there was no dialogue and they started fighting directly.
The sound of gold and iron suddenly exploded, and as soon as the fight started, it ignited the atmosphere of the whole place.
In the end, Tao Heng was defeated.
In fact, Sun Yanbing is more restrained than Tao Heng. To get such an opponent, it can only be said that Tao Heng is unlucky. With his strength, he would be quite competitive in the national finals.
Next on the stage were Dongfang Jie and Zhao Changtian. After a fierce duel, Zhao Changtian won.
Zhao Changtian was trained on Linglong Island, and Linglong Island is the Earth branch of the Linglong Chamber of Commerce in the Kunlun Immortal World. In terms of background, even the Dongfang family, the top family in the ancient martial arts world, cannot compare, and Dongfang Jie is not of the Dongfang family's generation.
He is the most outstanding among the young disciples, so his defeat is not particularly unexpected.
The third group, Tianba vs Xiaoqi!
The moment the two people competing in this group took the stage, they attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Because the image of the two of them is really very different from each other.
Tianba was more than two meters tall, with a muscular back and waist, and skin as black as coal. He was naked from the waist up, revealing his rock-hard muscles. His weapon was a long black iron stick as thick as an average human's forearm. The stick was smashed down.
, enough to destroy gold and crack rocks, making people secretly speechless after seeing it.
Compared with Xiao Qi, she is only a little over 1.6 meters tall with thin arms and legs. Especially when she is standing on the same stage as Tianba, she looks even more petite. Her weapon is a long red whip, which is curled up at this time.
After a few laps, she held it in her hand.
This scene is like a black bear competing with a little rabbit.
The audience in the audience couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Qi.
Although being able to break into the quarterfinals of the Southern Division is enough to prove Xiaoqi's strength, people still have such worries.
And many people subconsciously sided with Xiao Qi, hoping that Xiao Qi would win.
Maybe it's because people always have sympathy for the weak in their hearts.
“Crack, bang, bang!”
Tianba cracked his wrist and twisted his neck, making a crisp sound like exploding beans.
He grinned at Xiao Qi, showing his big white teeth, and with a "swish" sound, the black iron rod in his hand pointed at Xiao Qi with a burst of wind.
A sound as thick as thunder resounded.
"Little girl, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible, otherwise, I will show mercy. The black iron rod in my hand will not show mercy to you!"
"Wow!"
After hearing Tianba's threatening words, everyone in the audience immediately became excited.
Amidst the noise, Xiao Qi's voice, as clear and clear as an oriole in an empty valley, came out melodiously.
"Big guy, I also advise you to admit defeat, otherwise, I will beat you down."
As he said that, Xiao Qi waved his fist.
It's just that the fist is pink and tender, and seems to have no momentum.
This kind of little pink fist is probably more suitable for scenes like "little fist punching your chest".
"Hahaha!"
Tianba laughed wildly, his eyes flashed with a cold light.
The next moment, Tianba stomped his right foot on the ground, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball!
The thick black iron rod was smashed with a whistling sound.
