"The ceremony officially begins!"
Shangguan Ba stood on a high balcony, overlooking the crowd.
There was an indescribable aura about him, that kind of aura that only belonged to kings. Qin Shi frowned and became serious.
This Shangguan family has extraordinary strength. There are seven masters in the Xuanling Realm, Shangguan Ba, and the five elders below, Shangguan Bing among the third generation.
This kind of strength, placed in the northern region, would probably even be a bit fearful of the Burning Heaven Sect.
"Okay okay-"
The ceremony kicked off with Shangguan Ba's voice. After a series of cheers, there was a long speech and various talks, including the major and minor events of the Shangguan family in the past few years, the development of the next few years, in short The process was so cumbersome that Qin Shi's upper eyelids were heard fighting with his lower eyelids. If someone hadn't suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind, he would have probably fallen asleep.
Looking back, the person who photographed him was Shangguan Leng.
"Brother Shi Qin, that person is Yan Dong!" Shangguan Leng stood beside Qin Shi and immediately looked to the left side of the pavilion with a stern look.
In that position, there was a distinguished dragon chair that even Shangguan Ba didn't have to give in to. There was an old man with a white beard on it. The old man was closing his eyes and meditating, as if he had already pocketed the victory of the competition and was content with himself.
"Haha, what a conceited old man."
Qin Shi sneered, and immediately invisible spiritual power swam out from the crowd like a spiritual snake, gathering directly towards the pavilion.
boom!
But immediately after, Yan Dong's eyes widened, and there was a clear mockery in his eyes, which directly crushed Qin Shi's mental power.
Qin Shi frowned: "Huh? He's quite capable."
After saying this, he turned into an invisible tiger with a more violent mental energy, and flew towards the pavilion in the clouds and mist. Yan Dong was not weak at all. With his hand, the goshawks condensed and collided and exploded in mid-air.
In this way, before the tedious procedures were completed below, the two in the sky had already exchanged hundreds of moves, but for a while they were indistinguishable.
Not far from Yan Dong, there were two figures standing up and looking at Qin Shi with a hint of terror. These two people were the other two talisman magicians of the Shangguan family.
"This boy is not simple."
"Well, he is the person Mr. Leng was talking about, right? He can fight Yan Dong hundreds of times and is invincible. He is at least a junior three-line talisman magician. This competition is going to be interesting."
The two of them whispered softly, full of fear.
boom!
After fighting hundreds of moves, the tiger and the goshawk fought against each other in the sky, and finally dispersed in a continuous collision.
Bang!
Qin Shi's mind trembled slightly and he took half a step back.
But immediately, there was a crisp sound on the pavilion, Yan Dong blushed, clenched his palms fiercely, and the handle of the golden dragon chair was crushed into powder.
No one saw it, but there was a bright red blood stain at the corner of his mouth that he quietly licked off, and a wisp of mental power mixed with audio came out: "Boy, wait."
"Haha, waiting for you!"
Not to be outdone, Qin Shi waved his hand and absorbed the spiritual power into the sea of consciousness, erasing the connection with Yan Dong.
Mental power is invisible and colorless, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all, but Shangguan Leng can see from the expressions of the two of them that no one was idle just now.
"This time, I leave it to you, brother."
"Haha, take people's money to help them eliminate disasters. I have collected three hundred thousand spiritual stones. I will definitely not let you down." Qin Shi smiled and nodded.
At the mention of three hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones, Shangguan Leng twitched in pain and stopped talking.
The tedious procedure was finally over. Shangguan Ba looked around and said with a bright smile: "Haha, everyone must have heard that this ceremony is different from previous years. Before electing the head of the family, I specially prepared a program to entertain everyone. "
"This show is the Talisman Magician Competition!"
"The Talisman Magician Competition?"
Obviously, not many people knew about this news. Seeing the surprise in the audience, Shangguan Ba was very proud and said: "In this Talisman Magic Competition, not only the Shangguan family, but also all the friends present are the Talisman Magicians."
"Moreover, I have prepared generous gifts for everyone. The first place reward is the corpse of a heavenly beast!"
Shangguan Ba said grandly, then raised his hand and his space ring flashed with light, and the skeleton of a desolate beast that was a hundred feet long fell onto the ring.
boom!
When the huge skeleton fell to the ground, it caused the arena that was a kilometer away to tremble, causing a lot of ripples of dust on it.
When the dust dispersed, the appearance of the skeleton was clearly revealed in front of everyone's eyes. It was the skeleton of a crawling beast. The jawbone protruded upward a lot, and the limbs were short, a bit like a crocodile.
"Desolate beast in the heavenly realm?"
Countless people in the audience shouted.
"It's the Red Demon Lizard!"
Xiaomi Cai squinted her beautiful eyes and groaned softly next to Qin Shi.
Hearing this title, Qin Shi and Yu Luosha expressed confusion.
"The Red Devil Lizard, number one hundred and forty-fourth on the list of wild beasts."
"One hundred and forty-four?"
Qin Shi took a breath, this ranking was already infinitely close to the god list.
"Well, the Red Demon Lizard is a very ferocious wild beast. Its jaws are very developed and its bite force is comparable to that of a dragon." Xiaomi Cai said solemnly.
For this reason, Qin Shi clicked his tongue and couldn't help but get excited.
"Are the jaws strong?"
With a soft murmur, a thought flashed through Qin Shi's mind. After calculating that the Star Meteor Hegemon Body Art had stayed on the second level for a long time, it was time to proceed to the third stage: bone refining, and this Red Demon Lizard Isn't the jawbone just enough
Seeing the skeleton of the red demon lizard, the onlookers all had red eyes and glowed with excitement.
The bones of a heaven-level desolate beast, not to mention the priceless inner elixir. Every part of the body of a desolate beast of this caliber is filled with treasures, including animal skins, teeth, bones, and sinews. Difference.
"Haha, the head of the Shangguan family is really generous. If that's the case, then I, Old Liu, will join in the fun." Under the ring, the first person to speak was a middle-aged man. The man was wearing a simple robe and had a simple and honest look on his face. Lang laughed a few times and jumped up.
"It's the head of the Liu family, Liu Fang!"
The appearance of the middle-aged man caused a lot of noise.
Next to Qin Shi, Shangguan Leng said: "This Liu Fang is a Talisman Magician at the peak of the second pattern and has a high prestige in Leng City."
"Is the second pattern at its peak?"
Qin Shi smiled slightly and nodded.
Someone took the lead, and it immediately became lively. I have to say that this Lengcheng is indeed a large city in the Eastern region. There is not a single talisman magician in the ancient city, but there are more than a dozen in this Lengcheng.
But most of them have first and second lines, and Yan Dong is the only one with third lines.
The number of people was fixed, thirteen in total.
Of course, these thirteen people did not include Qin Shi and the three members of Shangguan's family. Shangguan Leng signaled Qin Shi to wait, so he never came on stage.
Seeing that the number of people was not increasing, Shangguan Ba smiled slightly: "Well, these thirteen brothers are all heroes of Lengcheng. Now I will send representatives of our Shangguan family."
"Yan Dong! Zhang Tao! Guo Lin!"
A majestic voice sounded, and Yan Dong and the three people on the pavilion stood up at the same time, stepped into the void with a slight wave, and landed steadily on the stage.
"There are sixteen people in total. The competition is about to begin..."
"etc!"
Just when Shangguan Ba was about to announce the start of the competition, Shangguan Leng clasped his hands and shouted, "Uncle, I also want to recommend someone for this competition. Maybe he can bring us a miracle!"
This sound made Shangguan Ba frown, but he still looked like a king and said, "Oh? Tell me, who is this person!"
"That's the brother next to me."
Shangguan sneered and agreed, then introduced Qin Shi to Shangguan Ba.
"It's him?"
Seeing Qin Shi, many people in the crowd shouted: "Isn't this that hot-tempered foreign boy?"
"But isn't it said that he has a grudge against Mr. Leng? How did the two of them get together?"
"who knows."
"Boy, I'll kill you!"
But in the midst of the discussion, a sudden burst of wild and vigorous spiritual pressure stirred up the crowd like a stormy sea, and rushed towards Qin Shi like a cheetah.
Everything happened so fast that no one could recover.
"Daddy, be careful!" Xiaomi Cai was startled, but just when she was about to turn her masterful hand over, a light and shadow flashed around her, and then rushed straight up.
boom!
With a loud noise, the cheetah-like spiritual pressure was directly crushed into powder. Immediately, Shangguan Ba blocked Qin Shi with his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of the rising spiritual pressure: "Master Zhao, what do you mean? "
"What do you mean? Ask him, the second elder of the Zhao family died tragically at his hand, and today I must kill him to avenge the second elder!" The head of the Zhao family pointed at Qin Shi and roared.
"What?"
"The second son of the Zhao family is dead?"
"No way? He is the third-ranked magician in Leng City, second only to Yan Dong. How can he be defeated by this young boy?"
"I don't think so. Didn't you notice that the second son of the Zhao family never showed up? He has always been dissatisfied with Yan Dong all these years. How could such a good opportunity not come if he had not died?"
"Besides, haven't you heard? This boy's strength is not simple. Mr. Leng even admitted defeat in his hands."
A group of people talked a lot, and many eyes moved to Qin Shi, who was wrapped in a black robe.
But under the attention of everyone, he raised his lips with contentment and said to the Zhao family leader: "Haha, it turns out you are seeking revenge?"
"Boy, you are looking for death!"
The head of the Zhao family was so angry that he dug his flaming claws down from his heart and approached Qin Shi aggressively with strange steps.
But before he could get close, Shangguan Ba waved his hand, and a terrifying spiritual pressure fell like a waterfall, knocking back the galloping head of the Zhao family several steps.
"Shangguanba, what do you mean?"
"Master Zhao, I don't care what grievances you have, but don't forget that this is Shangguan's residence! Anyone who dares to declare war to seize the master will be responsible for the consequences!" With a few words, Shangguan Ba directly drove Master Zhao away.
Hearing these words, the head of the Zhao family trembled. After all, the Shangguan family was the first family in Lengcheng and one of the four eastern families. For this reason, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"Hmph, okay! Boy, just wait. When you leave Shangguan's house, I will make sure you die badly!" The head of the Zhao family shouted at Qin Shi with fierce resentment.
"We are waiting!"
Qin Shi shrugged, his face calm.
This scene made everyone stunned. Shangguan Ba was silent for a while. He looked at Qin Shi with a strange light in his eyes. After a long time, he said: "Boy, are you a magician?"
"Yeah!" Qin Shi nodded in disbelief.
After receiving the affirmation, some people showed shocked expressions, but they immediately turned into contempt. Does such a young Talisman Master only have two lines at most
"Okay, let's go on stage and compete."
