A smile appeared on Xiao Muyang's face, and he naturally understood that Chen Chi's smile just now was to greet them, but as for the thoughts of the people below, he was not sure.
In the first round, everyone who participated in the test will take action, which lasted for a very long time and took two full days to end.
In the past two days, there has been no rest during the competition. Even at night, a practitioner's eyesight can clearly see the scene, so it will not be greatly affected.
After everyone took action, there was no direct second round of competition. Those who were still to be determined stepped onto the battlefield again and showed off their talents in front of everyone.
This time there are not only three referees, but eight. Only if more than half of the referees approve can you advance to the next round, otherwise you will be eliminated.
Most of the people who were yet to be determined were eliminated, and only a few people made the final cut.
This proves that there are not many cases where referees make mistakes.
In fact, the people who are to be determined by the referee have more or less problems. By the second round, if their problems are still not corrected, they will only be eliminated.
Finally, the competition came to the second round.
I saw Ren Xiao walking into the void again, looking at the crowd below and saying: "A total of 254 people advanced in the first round. The second round will test their own strength. Those whose names are called will go to the fighting stage to compete.
, everyone still only has one chance, the winner advances and the loser is eliminated."
"One thing to remember is that until the point is reached, if the referee calls stop, both parties are not allowed to take action again. Those who violate the rules will be disqualified from the competition."
The reason why such rules are formulated is naturally because we do not want unnecessary casualties. After all, this is just a competition, not a battlefield of life and death.
Many people's eyes flashed with passion, and they were gearing up. They seemed to be eager to try, and they couldn't wait to go up and fight immediately.
"Fu Ren, Ji Huachi." A voice came from the direction of the fifth battle platform.
A moment later, two figures were seen stepping onto the fifth platform. They were Fu Ren and Ji Huachi. Both of them were in the middle stage of Zhongtian.
The referee glanced at the two people and saw that they were ready, so he said: "The competition begins."
As soon as the word "beginning" fell, Ji Huachi's figure flashed out like a ghost, leaving blurry afterimages in the space, which was dazzling for a moment.
"What a weird body skill!" The eyes of the crowd watching the battle were all focused. In battle, the role played by body skills cannot be ignored. People who are good at body skills can make their opponents unable to guard against them. If they are not careful, they may be defeated.
.
However, Fu Ren didn't seem to be an ordinary person. When he saw the afterimages in the space, an evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't take it seriously.
I saw a flaming lion appearing behind Fu Ren, with a pair of huge eyes filled with violence. Wisps of crimson flames rose from the huge body, causing the temperature of the space to soar.
.
Rays of flame light swept towards the figures in Ji Huachi like chains, carrying a heart-stopping temperature that made the spiritual energy of heaven and earth melt away.
However, in an instant, those figures almost all disappeared under the flames, leaving only one figure, which was Ji Huachi's true form.
He looked at Fu Ren in shock. He did not expect to encounter such a difficult opponent in the first battle, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Hmph." Fu Ren snorted coldly, grabbed his palm forward, and an angry beast roar came out. Then he saw the flaming lion turned into a beam of fire and shot towards Jihuachi, with overwhelming power, as if it was going to tear Jihuachi apart.
Ji Huachi's expression changed with shock, and he quickly stepped back. At the same time, a long sword appeared in front of him, which was his life soul, and it stabbed directly towards the charging flaming lion.
The flaming lion rose into the air, and struck the long sword hard with its flaming palm. However, when the palm was about to fall on the long sword, the long sword suddenly turned around and narrowly avoided the blow.
The flaming lion did not chase the sword, but flew towards Ji Huachi. A sharp look flashed in Fu Ren's eyes. He wanted to see how long the man could escape.
Then the Flame Lion launched several more attacks, but was resisted by Ji Huachi each time. He only suffered some minor injuries and did not lose his fighting ability. Fu Ren's face gradually darkened, and he seemed to have no more patience.
Just when Fu Ren was about to continue attacking, an extremely sharp aura suddenly invaded from behind, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He suddenly turned around and saw a dazzling silver light filling his eyes. At this moment, his breathing seemed to have stopped, and his body was stiff, as if he had forgotten to avoid it.
"This..." Many people trembled inwardly when they saw this scene, and then they all showed signs of astonishment, as if they understood something.
Ji Huachi has been avoiding Fu Ren's attacks. It's not that his strength is not as good as Fu Ren's, but that he deliberately shows weakness and constantly lowers Fu Ren's vigilance. Only by doing this can he have the opportunity to release a fatal blow when Fu Ren is unprepared.
hit.
Facts have proved that Ji Huachi's plan was successful.
"Ji Huachi, win, advance to the next round." the referee said.
A smile broke out on Ji Huachi's face, then he glanced at Fu Ren and said lightly: "Your strength is on par with mine. I don't know where you get the confidence to attack me all the time."
Fu Ren felt his face burning, as if he had been greatly humiliated, but he could not refute anything.
Just because what Ji Huachi said was right, if he hadn't been so confident just now, not only would he be able to win this battle, at least he wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating defeat.
"Go down, learn from this failure, and don't make the same mistake again." The referee looked at Fu Ren and said.
"Thank you, senior, for your teaching." Fu Ren bowed to the referee, and then walked off the stage a little lonely.
Immediately after Fu Ren and Ji Huachi went down, two more people's names were called out and they went to the fighting stage to compete.
On the battlefield, fierce battles were going on, and the crowd occasionally erupted in exclamations, cheering for the winners, while the losers did not receive any attention and left sadly.
On the high platform, Xiao Muyang could clearly see the scene on the nine battle platforms below. Occasionally, he would be surprised to see one or two people, but most of them could not arouse his interest.
But he knew in his heart that this was an extremely normal thing.
After all, those who fought against him before were all disciples of top forces, and most of the people below were casual cultivators, so there was naturally a big gap between them and the disciples of top forces.
However, this gap is not static. As long as you are willing to practice hard and practice powerful spiritual arts, you have great hope of surpassing those top disciples.
"Xu Feng, wish me good luck."
On the ninth platform, the referee loudly shouted the names of the two people, and the crowd in that area suddenly fell silent, with excitement in their eyes.
Just because Xu Feng's name was called out again.
What kind of performance will he bring this time?
Soon two figures came to the battle platform. Xu Feng looked at the young man opposite and said calmly: "Are you going down by yourself, or should I send you down?"
"Such confident words." Many people's hearts trembled, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with this. With Xu Feng's strength, he was fully qualified to say this.
"No matter what the result is, you won't know until you try it." Zhu Yu said in a deep voice. He naturally knew what kind of person his opponent was. However, it would be too shameful to escape without fighting. How would he see others in the future?
"Useless struggle." Xu Feng said lightly. He looked at Zhu Yu with just one glance, as if countless sword energy pierced into Zhu Yu's eyes, which were extremely sharp.
Zhu Yu's expression changed with shock, and a golden spear appeared in his mind, blasting away at the sword energy.
However, the power of the sword energy was so terrifying. With a click, the spear was torn apart in an instant, and the sword energy penetrated straight into the depths of Zhu Yu's soul, causing Zhu Yu to scream, his face as pale as paper, as if he was about to lose his life.
"Stop!" A loud shout sounded, and it was the referee who spoke.
As soon as the voice fell, the sword energy in Zhu Yu's mind suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared. When he woke up, he found that Xu Feng was walking towards the bottom of the fighting platform, as if it was just a formality.
Zhu Yu's face was extremely ugly. Is he so strong?
He thought that his strength was not as good as promised, but he never thought that the gap between them would be so big.
Countless people stared at Xu Feng's leaving figure, feeling very uneasy in their hearts. Xu Feng's cultivation in the late stage of Heavenly Position is the highest among the five extraordinary geniuses. He has the greatest chance of winning the first place in this competition.
"With Xu Feng's strength, participating in this competition is really a dimensionality reduction blow. His opponents should be the talented disciples of those top forces." Someone said, his voice was not concealed at all, and the crowd around him could hear it clearly.
.
"Do you think he really wants to join the Haotian Palace?" A person next to him sneered: "It's just for some experience. If he wanted to join the force, he would have joined before and wouldn't wait until now."
"Indeed." Many people nodded. Haotian Palace really didn't have much appeal to Xu Feng.
Although the distance between the high platform and the crowd below is quite far, the hearing of cultivators is so amazing that some of the sounds coming from below reached the ears of Xiao Muyang and others, and they could hear them clearly.
"Palace Master, if Xu Feng wins first place but doesn't join Haotian Palace, the reputation of Haotian Palace will not look good if word spreads." Ren Xiao whispered to Xiao Muyang.
Xiao Muyang's eyes revealed a hint of deep meaning. What Ren Xiao said was not unreasonable. Giving up joining the Haotian Palace if the first player in the competition would indeed have a very bad impact.
However, he had said before that he would not force anyone to join Haotian Temple, so it was naturally impossible for him to change his words.
"Keep reading, maybe he won't get the first place." Xiao Muyang replied lightly.
Leng Wuyun and Hua Chen are almost certain to join the Haotian Palace. If they can defeat Xu Feng, they can keep the reputation of the Haotian Palace.
"Yes." Ren Xiao nodded and continued to look at the competition below.
Time passed by little by little, and more and more people's names were called out. Every time one person was eliminated, it meant that one person advanced to the next round.
Under the strict supervision of the referee, no one has died so far, and at most there have been some minor injuries.
When the names of Zhou Jing, Hua Chen and others were called out, the whole place suddenly burst into excitement, and cheers swept through the space like an overwhelming wave of cheers.
The crowd thought they could see a wonderful battle, but unexpectedly their opponent was very straightforward and chose to admit defeat without even entering the fighting stage.
Obviously, they were affected by Xu Feng's battle.
In their view, it is not shameful to voluntarily admit defeat, but it is really shameful to leave the game alone after being crushed!
