This is a rough and powerful voice.
Like muffled thunder.
As the words spread.
A burly man with a stature as strong as an iron tower suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
There was a scar at the corner of the big man's eye, making him look even more ferocious and hideous.
The big man's name is Meng Que, and he is also a contender for the Swift Shadow Sequence.
"Nie Jie, I'll give you three Shadow Enlightenment Talismans, and you'll be my hand guard!"
He said in a muffled voice.
At the same time, he did not forget to glance coldly at Cheng Tianhao and Lin Ying beside him and snorted coldly.
"You two bastards think you can compete with me?"
Cheng Tianhao and Lin Ying both looked a little ugly.
Three Wuying Talismans, this is already a huge deal.
"Isn't it just the Wuying Talisman?"
Cheng Tianhao gritted his teeth and glared at Meng Que, as if he had given up, and said in a deep voice.
"Brother Nie, as long as you come to be my hand guard, I promise to give you a shadow seed afterwards!"
As soon as his words came out.
Whether it was Lin Ying or Meng Que, their faces changed drastically.
"Cheng Tianhao, you... are you crazy!?"
Lin Ying was shocked.
Although in the competition for the Shadow Sequence, gauntlets are very important.
But it is far from being worth a shadow.
In her opinion, taking out the Wuying Talisman to buy a hand guard was already worth the money.
Unexpectedly…
This Cheng Tianhao is actually even crazier than me!
"Don't you want to fight? Come on!
If you have the ability, come up with something more valuable than the Shadow Seed!"
Cheng Tianhao's eyes were red and filled with madness.
In terms of momentum, he directly crushed Lin Ying and Meng Que.
"Damn, lunatic!"
Meng Que cursed.
Turn around and walk away.
Although he cared a lot about being at the top of the tree spirit killing list.
But he couldn't come up with anything more valuable than the shadow seed.
Lin Ying also looked unhappy.
Just leave.
Even without this gauntlet.
They can also ask for other guards.
There's no need to lose your mind just to fight over a gauntlet.
Xiao Shi looked at this scene with a strange expression.
I didn't expect that I didn't say a word...
In the competition among the three, there were considerable benefits.
But he still doesn't know what the competition for the Shadow Sequence is about.
And with his caution.
Without understanding the Shadow Sequence, I naturally wouldn't agree rashly.
Therefore, for Cheng Tianhao's invitation.
Xiao Shi said he needed to think about it.
This made Cheng Tianhao stunned.
I thought that if I took out the shadow seed, the other party would agree without hesitation.
However, the other party still has to consider it despite such huge benefits!
To this.
Cheng Tianhao could only wait for Xiao Shi to make a decision.
He wasn't worried that someone would offer better conditions than he had.
After all, he was able to take out a shadow seed to invite the gauntlet.
This has never happened before in the entire Jiying Palace.
The emergence of the Fast Shadow Sequence disrupted Xiao Shi's original action plan.
He was not in a hurry to continue to the tree spirit area.
Instead, he planned to first find out relevant information about the Shadow Sequence.
The reason why I didn't ask Cheng Tianhao was because I was worried that the other party might be hiding something.
After all, Cheng Tianhao really wants me to be his guard now.
They may only convey favorable information to themselves, thus concealing information that is not beneficial to them.
The safest way is to find out from other people.
After some investigation.
Xiao Shi finally had enough understanding of the entire Quick Shadow Sequence.
The Jiying Sequence is the way that the Jiying Palace selects disciples into the sequence.
A sequence disciple will be born in each of the five cities of the Jiying Palace.
In Jiying Palace, sequence disciples are extremely important.
Every disciple in this sequence is undoubtedly a contemporary genius.
It is also the facade of Jiying Palace in Tiandouzhou.
In addition to enjoying the best treatment and the most resources in the sect, sequence disciples also have a certain control over the city.
For example, the Tree Shadow Sequence born from the Tree Shadow City.
You will have a certain degree of control over the entire Tree Shadow City and can access its important secrets.
In Jiying Palace, becoming a sequence disciple is the goal and pursuit of countless people.
It is a supreme honor.
It also represents the supreme authority, status, and strength in the entire Jiying Palace.
Just to be a sequence...
The difficulty is extremely great.
First of all, you must be qualified before you can participate in the sequence competition.
The qualification to compete for the sequence alone is enough to stop 99 percent of people.
In this competition for the Jiying Sequence, there are only five qualified people in Shuying City!
That is to say…
This time, the tree shadow sequence will only be born among these five people.
However, these five people can invite four guards to assist them and participate in the sequence competition.
Just for the specific way of fighting...
However, Xiao Shi didn't find out.
All I know is that every battle for the sequence is different.
He also learned.
The reason why the three people who were qualified to compete for the sequence invited me to be my guard was mainly because I was now at the top of the tree spirit kill list.
In Tree Shadow City, there are many similar lists.
Those who are on these lists are often the best candidates for hand guards.
Just thinking about the fight between those three people for me...
Xiao Shi felt something was not right.
Although it is very common for those who have the sequence qualifications to compete with each other for the number one gauntlet, it is a bit strange that they all offer extremely good conditions to compete for it.
Especially after Xiao Shi inquired about the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman they gave him, as well as the specific value and function of the Shadow Seed, he became more certain of this.
According to the information he got.
The Wuying Talisman is an extremely expensive item in the entire Jiying Palace.
Its main function is to comprehend the shadow seed through the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
Shadow Seed is the core of Jiying Palace and the foundation of their strength!
The core of the Red Tiger Sect lies in the red tiger at every stage.
The core of the Jiying Palace is the shadow seed.
It can be said that the disciples of the Jiying Palace have been practicing since the very beginning in order to be able to form shadow seeds!
Everything...
They are all based on the formation of shadow species.
Only shadow seeds are formed.
Only they can achieve the greatest improvement and qualitative change!
Shadow seeds are the greatest value of Jiying Palace.
This is also the important reason why countless people in Tiandouzhou want to join Jiying Palace.
Many people joined the Jiying Palace.
It is to be able to form shadow seeds.
The formation of shadow seeds can be divided into two main situations.
One is to practice the designated skills of the Jiying Palace.
Just like the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect, all of them practice the Red Tiger Art.
The Jiying Palace also has similar designated skills.
However, disciples who practice this designated technique usually join the Jiying Palace when they enter the martial arts realm.
People like Xiao Shi who have just joined the Jiying Palace at the Qiwu realm can no longer change their martial arts.
However, even if I didn’t practice the designated skills of the Jiying Palace.
There is also a chance to form a shadow seed.
It’s just that in terms of difficulty, it is more difficult than practicing the designated exercises of the Jiying Palace.
Some disciples who already have strong understanding.
If you have the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman in your hand...
However, one can comprehend the shadow seed through the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
Even if one lacks comprehension and is unable to perceive it, one can, to some extent, speed up the formation of the shadow seed.
This is also the value of the Wuying Talisman.
It’s just the Wuying Talisman, and there are not many of them in the entire Jiying Palace.
Ordinary disciples often do not have many ways to obtain the Wuying Talisman.
Only disciples like Cheng Tianhao who are qualified to compete for the sequence can obtain the incredibly valuable Wuying Talisman.
This was also the main reason why the people around were shocked when Lin Ying expressed her willingness to take out a Wuying Talisman.
The value of just one Wuying Talisman is so astonishing.
This time Cheng Tianhao directly gave...
It is also a shadow species!
This made Xiao Shi feel even more unusual.
"No matter how much they fight for it, they won't take out such a valuable thing, unless... this tree spirit kill list has a different meaning!"
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he had killed many tree spirits in the past half month.
But if it were others who had opened more cyclones in the late Qiwu realm, or those who had reached the great perfection of the Qiwu realm, they would also be able to achieve such results.
This is also what makes Xiao Shi feel strange.
In his opinion.
It is not difficult to become the number one on the tree spirit killing list.
Many people can do it.
But now, these three disciples who are qualified to compete for the sequence all have a "special liking" for me, who is number one on the tree spirit killing list.
In order to compete for me, they all offered conditions that were hard to refuse.
Here...
There must be a problem!
As Xiao Shi continued to explore.
He finally found part of the reason.
It turns out that killing tree spirits, although a way to quickly earn contribution points, also has its drawbacks.
Every time a tree spirit is killed.
They will often be eroded by a trace of the breath of tree spirits.
This kind of breath erosion is inevitable.
As long as you kill, you will inevitably be eroded.
If it was just the aura of one or two tree spirits that eroded the area, it wouldn't be a big deal.
However, once too many tree spirits are killed, as the accumulated aura erosion continues to increase, one's own strength and cultivation will be weakened by the erosion of these auras.
Of course, this kind of breath erosion does not exist permanently, but will gradually dissipate over time.
But it will take at least two or three months for it to completely dissipate.
Therefore, most people would not kill too many tree spirits even if they accepted the task of killing them.
For someone like Xiao Shi who has been killing non-stop for half a month...
It's really rare.
After Xiao Shi learned this.
Only then did I understand why I became the number one on the tree spirit killing list so easily...
No wonder he hadn’t seen anyone killing tree spirits on the fourth floor in the past half month.
Generally, the stronger the tree spirit is, the more severe the aura erosion it will suffer after being killed.
Few people would go about killing the tree spirit on the fourth floor.
However, other doubts also arose in his mind.
From beginning to end.
He didn't even feel the aura eroding.
His own strength and cultivation showed no signs of weakening at all.
"Could it be because of the Emperor Wu's mask?"
Xiao Shi seemed to be thinking about something.
I think that's probably the case.
After all, the Emperor Wu's mask is immune to all auras.
Therefore, this kind of aura erosion has no effect on himself.
But in the eyes of others...
It is terrifying that I can continue to kill these tree spirits even when being eroded by their aura!
But just based on this...
Still it wasn't enough to make them take out such a valuable thing to fight for themselves.
Among them…
There must be a deeper reason!
But no matter how Xiao Shi tried to find out.
It was difficult for him to find out any useful information.
"Perhaps the Tree Spirit Killing Ranking is also related to the way of competing..."
Xiao Shi made a silent guess.
After learning all this.
He also became interested in the entire sequence competition.
If I could obtain a shadow seed from this...
Seems good too!
The most important thing.
This is an opportunity to kill someone who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Wu Realm!
According to the information Xiao Shi had obtained.
The battle for sequence is often filled with blood and killing.
In previous sequence competitions, no more than half of the people would survive.
Those who are qualified to compete for the sequence, and the guards they invite, are basically in the late Qiwu realm, or have reached the great perfection.
This is undoubtedly good prey!
Now, Xiao Shi’s cultivation is about to reach the late stage of Qiwu Realm.
He thought that he was almost able to try to kill someone who had reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Wu Realm.
After all, only those who have reached the Great Perfection of Qiwu Realm can be killed.
Only then will high quality items drop.
However, there are not many people who can reach the great perfection of Qiwu realm.
For example, as for tree spirits, there is no tree spirit that has reached the great perfection of the Qiwu realm.
The strongest tree spirit is only the fourth-level tree spirit, which is comparable to the late Qiwu realm.
Therefore, it is not an easy task for Xiao Shi to find a Qiwu realm master here and kill him.
And this competition for sequence is obviously a good opportunity!
At the same time, as a shield, if you can help the people you support to become part of the sequence, then you will be able to stand more firmly in this Jiying Palace.
Consider all aspects.
Xiao Shi felt that he could participate as a shield in this sequence competition.
However, he was not in a hurry to find Cheng Tianhao to agree to the other party.
There are still ten days left before the competition for the sequence begins.
He continued to the tree spirit area.
As usual, kill the tree spirits here.
While killing it, he also sensed the erosion of the aura left by the tree spirit's death.
This aura invades silently and is extremely difficult to detect.
However, after Xiao Shi's careful inspection.
He still sensed this faint erosion of breath.
However, when these auras corroded his body, his body seemed to have an invisible barrier, which made it impossible for these auras to penetrate his body and were blocked outside.
"It is indeed the Emperor Wu mask."
Xiao Shi suddenly realized.
When he killed many tree spirits, he once again gained a lot of contribution points and items dropped by the tree spirits after their death.
He then went back to the tree house to open and expand the cyclone.
Two days later.
boom!
Followed by a dull bang.
Xiao Shi's body was shaking violently, and the ninety-nine energy locks in his body exploded under the impact of numerous Taiyin Qis.
He successfully opened the ninety-ninth Taiyin cyclone!
He officially stepped into the late stage of Qiwu Realm from the middle stage of Qiwu Realm.
At the same time, the Qi in his body is locked.
Now there is only one left.
As long as he can break the last Qi lock, he will be able to break through the late stage of Qi Wu Realm and enter the great perfection of Qi Wu Realm!
