There are more than 300 monks in Xuanyang Sect's Foundation Establishment Stage. In the spirit of participation, there are a total of 203 applicants for the Foundation Establishment Group of the Grand Competition.
The big competition is a pure elimination system. In the first round, 128 winners are selected out of more than 200 applicants. Therefore, less than half of the foundation-building disciples have a bye in the first round. If they are lucky, they will enter directly. for the second round. Of course, Yu Qiu wasn't so lucky. After a real match, he knocked out his opponent with a brick, and then advanced to the next round.
Except for Yu Qiu, Xiao Chunmian and Gao Conghan also had a real-life competition in the first round. Only Xu Hong was lucky enough to advance directly.
Then the second round, one hundred and twenty-eight into sixty-four.
There is no more lucky bye in this round, everyone is standing on the stage for real, and the number of onlookers in each game is also a little more than before, as if the big competition in the door is a real show from now on stage of strength.
Yu Qiu also stunned his opponent with a single brick, and got much more exclamations than the previous round.
It's just admiration, not admiration. After all, the opponent is not that strong, and winning can't prove anything. After the second round, the favorites all won, and there were no dark horses, let alone a rivalry between the two.
Then in the third round, sixty-four entered thirty-two.
All those who can get here have a certain strength, so the atmosphere of the competition finally became more enthusiastic. The results of each competition are no longer so obvious. For the first time, Yu Qiu also met an opponent in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and won with a little more energy than before—although it was just a matter of secretly putting in two extra talismans.
But in the eyes of the spectators, this is another miracle of defeating the strong with the weak! When the brick hit the opponent's forehead again, the screams outside the competition stage were full of frenzy! As soon as Yu Qiu left the field with the bricks, a group of people rushed to the market to place bets on him. In an instant, the odds doubled, and the name of the brick madman became even more resounding than before.
Yu Qiu smiled and shook his head.
Xiao Chunmian was just behind Yu Qiu in this round. After Yu Qiu came on, he passed by and smiled and said congratulations. Yu Qiu also smiled and said a word of blessing in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Xiao Chunmian's opponent in this round happens to be in the middle stage of foundation establishment. However, Yu Qiu has always been confident in Xiao Chunmian's strength, and has no doubts about the result, so there is no need to worry.
Sure enough, this game is not even a fight between dragons and tigers. As soon as Xiao Chunmian's sword light was lifted away, it was so sharp that the opponent couldn't get in at all.
Complete suppression!
The sword light danced, invincible, but in a few moments, Xiao Chunmian won the victory neatly. The victory was so quick that when Xiao Chunmian put away his sword and left the arena, there was silence on and off the stage, and the spectators were stunned. It took a while before the cheers sounded slowly, but they were several times more enthusiastic than usual.
Many people only remembered at this moment that Xiao Chunmian was the one who killed two eighth-level monsters at the peak of Qi refining. Years of time obliterated the legend left by Xiao Chunmian, but did not obliterate his strength at all.
Xiao Chunmian's popularity soared in an instant, and the odds of the handicap instantly squeezed into the first echelon.
After three rounds of fighting, there are only thirty-two people left, thirty-two people out of more than two hundred people.
In order to allow all remaining disciples to better cope with the increasingly intense competition schedule, Zongmen arranged the date of the competition after three rounds, and everyone had an extra three days of rest after one round.
"Teacher, look at this cassock..." Long Yi took advantage of these three days to continuously offer treasures to Yu Qiu, "It's very good. The attacks of the Qi refining stage are ignored, and the attacks of the foundation building stage are directly halved. It can withstand one or two attacks, do you want it? If you want it, I will give it to you."
"Master," Yu Qiu twitched the corners of his mouth, "I don't think this is necessary."
"Disciple, how can you say that!" Long Yi slapped the table, "Do you think the first thirty-two are easy to bully? There are only six apprentices in the head of the sect alone, and it's even worse for Lao Zhao, who has eight apprentices. Gu There is another junior sister. If you lose to them, it will be a shame to me!"
"But master..." Yu Qiu wiped his forehead, "The magic weapon you gave is too much. If I really took such a too much magic weapon and went up, what if several uncles and uncles also gave it to their apprentices What's more, what should I do?"
When it comes to this topic, Long Yi is full of confidence, "Don't worry, if you want to spell the device, I'll beat them by a few blocks."
Yu Qiu's forehead was sweating even more. Is it really good to turn a competition in the sect into a magic weapon competition? But seeing Long Yi's determined appearance, he finally gave up on persuasion, and decided to change the topic to save the country, "Let's not talk about this, I recently found something new on the talisman, let's talk about it?"
"Okay!" Long Yi's eyes lit up immediately.
After they had an in-depth exchange around the talisman and Long Yi pondered alone for a long time, he finally came to his senses and realized that Yu Qiu was actually just rejecting his magic weapon. At this time, Yu Qiu had already resigned and ran away without seeing anyone.
Long Yi could only sigh faintly.
In fact, the reason why he wanted to send the magic weapon was because Yu Qiu, an apprentice, really didn't want anyone to worry about him. Cultivation doesn't need help, xinxing doesn't need to be pointed out, principles don't need to be explained, and the aspect of talismans makes Long Yi feel unfathomable. It's too much fun for him to be a master... I wanted to show it with the use of utensils The sense of existence as a human teacher turned out to be rejected.
Long Yi couldn't help being empty, lonely and cold.
After bidding farewell to Long Yi, Yu Qiu returned to his cave, and immediately saw Xiao Chunmian practicing inside.
Yu Qiu didn't bother, she found another chair to sit on, closed her eyes, and started to practice as well. The spiritual energy of the two flowed together in the cave, and there was a faint sense of fusion between them. Half a day later, Yu Qiu opened his eyes, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation had progressed from the third level of foundation building to the next level, successfully breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building. He raised his head, looked at Xiao Chunmian who had just opened his eyes, and smiled at each other.
Xiao Chunmian also broke through, although only from the second floor of the foundation building to the third floor of the foundation building. But Xiao Chunmian had built the foundation two years later than Yu Qiu, and he reached the third floor of the foundation in half a year. This speed is already shocking.
Three days passed, the fourth round, thirty-two into sixteen.
The competition has entered a fierce stage, and every game is much more difficult than before, and there is no chance.
Yu Qiu's opponent in the fourth round, as Long Yi said, bumped into Xu Weitian's young disciple. It was the first time that the two intruder disciples actually bumped into each other in a match. The number of onlookers in this match was not comparable to the previous ones, and the audience was densely packed.
Yu Qiu came to the stage with a smile and took out a brick.
"Brick! Brick!" Many people had already started cheering, faintly like a group of Brick cult... Because of Brick's unstoppable charm, Yu Qiu was able to harvest a large number of Brick cultists every round.
This time is no exception.
Xu Weitian's young disciple started a year earlier than Yu Qiu, and now he has reached the fourth level of Qi refining. What he held in his hand was a feather fan he had chosen when he was apprenticed to his teacher, and it was also the only magic weapon Xu Weitian gave him.
Although his cultivation level is not that extraordinary, this person's mastery of spells is quite sophisticated, and Yu Qiu did not deal with it so easily. In the end, Yu Qiu used three talismans in a row, one to imprison the opponent's footsteps, one to block the opponent's spell, and one to speed up his own speed, and finally let the brick hit the opponent's forehead-to be honest, At this time, he had no time to be obsessed with the tiles anymore, but the tiles became smoother the more he used them, so he slapped them.
"Oh! Brick! Brick! Brick! Brick is the best! Brick is the best!"
In the end, it triggered a new round of brick craze... Yu Qiu was secretly wiping away his sweat at the end.
After four rounds of fighting, there are only sixteen people left.
Under the name of Grandmaster Jindan, there are a total of sixteen disciples who entered the house during the foundation establishment period. Except for the one who was eliminated by Yu Qiu, the remaining four were also eliminated in this round, and only eleven of them made it into the top sixteen. . There are still three disciples under the name of Elder Ning Yuan, and two ordinary inner disciples.
The only two or two ordinary inner disciples among the sixteen were naturally eye-catching, and people were talking about them everywhere for a while. And these two people just happened to know each other in Qiudu. One is Gao Conghan, and the other is Long Pengpeng who was provoked at Long Yi's acceptance ceremony not long ago.
Long Pengpeng was talked about, and Yu Qiu, who had just defeated him not long ago, was also talked about. What's more, the black history of Long Pengpeng's loss to Gao Conghan in the initial trial was reversed.
All of a sudden, countless people were talking about whether there would be a chance for revenge if Long Pengpeng ran into the two of them in the next round.
Hearing this question from others, Long Pengpeng himself became even more uneasy.
So, before the fifth round came out, Long Pengpeng urgently asked Long Yi for a bunch of magic weapons... Long Yi had prepared a room of magic weapons for Yu Qiu, but it happened to be empty and cold, so he just took advantage of it all.
As a result, the fifth round began three days later, sixteen to eight, and Long Pengpeng played with an extremely excessive magic weapon, but he didn't hit Yu Qiu or Gao Conghan, but... bumped into Zhao Lian's The third disciple, the veteran master of the Xuanyang Sect at the peak of foundation establishment, Situ Mingyu.
Although Long Pengpeng was top-notch, he was defeated miserably by Situ Mingyu, and there was one more person who needed revenge.
For Long Pengpeng, the luck of misfortune is probably that there is someone who is as unfortunate as him...
Gao Conghan.
In this round of competition, Gao Conghan ran into Xu Weitian's second disciple, He Xin, a veteran master of the Xuanyang sect who was also at the peak of foundation building. After a round of tough battles, they finally stopped at the top sixteen.
When Gao Conghan left the field, his face was very ugly.
This directly caused Xu Hong to tell Yu Qiu, who was standing by the side, to look at Gao Conghan more when Xu Hong came on stage.
Xu Hong ran into his own junior under the name of Zhao Lian, and won steadily. Gao Conghan's face turned dark again.
Xiao Chunmian bumped into his own senior brother who was also under the name of Zhao Lian, but he still won so neatly.
Then it was finally Yu Qiu's turn.
