"His luck is really good."
On the viewing platform, Gu Xichun spoke leisurely.
It is noon.
Under the watchful eyes of all the people watching the ceremony, Ding Ning, who was the last one, finally entered the area marked by four beacons.
The moment he was sure that he had entered the marked area, Ding Ning sat down on the ground without caring about his image, removed the straps he was carrying, and leaned against a small tree, panting heavily.
The sweat from his skin soaked his clothes in an instant.
This time Gu Xichun thought his words were equally fair, because even if he encountered one or two more armored lizards along the way, Ding Ning would not be able to arrive in time and be eliminated.
However, the moment he said these words, he felt that the eyes around him were a little inexplicably cold.
He frowned slightly, and quickly figured out why the people around him had such emotions, but he just sneered in his heart.
The efforts of the weak and not giving up can indeed be exchanged for the appreciation and sympathy of many people, but it is a pity that often the final result will not change.
At this time, only one-third of the people in Baiyang Cave and Ivy Sword Academy successfully reached the designated area, and two-thirds of the people were eliminated on the way from the entrance of the Sword Festival Canyon to this section. In his opinion, the overall strength of Baiyang Cave and Ivy Sword Academy is too weak compared to their Yingshan Sword Cave.
Xue Wangxu was sitting on a padded wicker chair at the edge of the viewing platform, his eyes half-closed as if he was about to fall asleep.
If he could know what was going on in Gu Xichun's mind at this moment, he would definitely object.
Because whether a sect is strong or not is definitely not determined by the number of practitioners in the three realms, four realms, or even five realms, but is always determined by the top practitioners of that sect.
Sometimes, for a real strong man, one is enough.
Autumn wind is cold, and sweaty and heavy clothes are easy to consume more energy, especially prone to illness.
But Ding Ning's performance still earned the respect of most people on the viewing platform.
After a sharp panting, he began to try to light the fire.
He prepared enough dry dead leaves and branches, kneaded a ball of dry grass into flocs, and directly hit the stone with the sword in his hand to create a fluff of sparks.
After igniting the fluffy dry grass, he kept blowing, and within just a few breaths, the fire burned vigorously.
When the fire burns well, it is warm enough, and almost no smoke rises.
After cutting off a few vines, he took off his soaked robe and picked it up to roast. At the same time, he also roasted the two pieces of meat that seemed a bit heavy to him on the fire. .
Some handymen of the Ivy Sword Academy have already prepared meals at this time, and rattan baskets containing many food boxes are placed on the mountain path near the viewing platform. , Many students even began to hide and rest to replenish their strength. Originally, many students watching the ceremony had already thought of going to eat, but at this moment, several exclamations sounded, so all the people who were about to cross the vine bridge to the mountain road stopped in their tracks.
Near one of the beams of smoke, two figures were about to meet.
And these two are all people who are likely to win in the end.
One of them was tall and handsome, and he was Su Qin from Baiyang Cave.
The other person was of ordinary stature, but he didn't have a trace of fat on his body, and his actions were filled with an indescribable sense of power. He Zhaoxi was the one who had killed the armored lizard with two swords before.
Both of them were on the other side's path, only separated by a forest, and neither of them seemed to have any intention of stopping to rest.
When such two people meet, who will win
The breathing of everyone on the viewing platform couldn't help but become a little rough.
…
When the bushes in front of them became more and more sparse, He Zhaoxi and Su Qin saw each other at the same time, and they stopped at the same time with a distance of more than ten feet.
Su Qin frowned slightly, his face remained unchanged, his right hand slowly landed on the sword hilt at his waist, but his knuckles were slightly white.
He Zhaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he also slowly pulled out the withered yellow long sword on his back. However, in the next moment, what made Su Qin and everyone on the viewing platform shrink slightly was that he was not ready to make a move, but It was a piece of armored lizard meat.
Like Ding Ning, he took the meat from the back of the armored lizard, but his physical strength was much stronger than Ding Ning's, so the weight of the meat he cut was also twice as much as Ding Ning's.
After entering this area, he hadn't lighted a fire yet, so the meat that was also behind his back was still raw, and the piece he cut off at this moment was still dripping with blood.
"I know you, you are Su Qin, and your cultivation should be above the middle level of the three realms."
After watching Su Qin say this sentence sternly, he directly put the half-fist-sized piece of raw meat that was still dripping with blood into his mouth, and began to chew and swallow vigorously.
"What is he doing?"
This action made many people on the viewing platform gasp. Xie Changsheng turned his head to look at Xu Heshan and Xie Rou with a pale face and asked, thinking about the appearance of those armored lizards just now, he felt nauseated.
Xie Rou and Xu Heshan shook their heads.
With He Zhaoxi's temperament, he probably didn't want to use this method to disgust or intimidate his opponent.
Su Qin's eyes also became sharper. He looked at He Zhaoxi who was eating raw meat, and said with a slight sarcasm: "I know there is a way that practitioners can digest a lot of raw meat well, and You won’t get sick, that’s strenuous exercise, continuous intense exercise, makes the five qi in your body extremely vigorous, makes your internal organs more active, and makes your body temperature rise... But even if You have such an idea that you want to fight me and think of eating meat after seeing me, do you think I will wait patiently for you to finish eating the meat?"
He Zhaoxi continued to cut and eat the meat piece by piece, and said at the same time, "Compared to directly deciding the winner now, I think there is a better choice."
Su Qin sneered: "What better choice?"
"I don't want to waste time. The less time I spend in the first five realms, the more time I can spend after the fifth realm in the future. It's just a trial. I don't want to spend too much time here. "He Zhaoxi said calmly: "If the matter can only be solved in one or two days, why wait until the third day?"
Su Qin was slightly startled, he thought of a possibility.
He Zhaoxi looked at him and continued, "Two lions catch sheep much faster than one lion."
Su Qin's eyebrows were still raised, and the coldness in his eyes remained undiminished, but there was a smile on his face.
"So your proposal is that we hunt together?" He looked at He Zhaoxi with great interest and said.
"I don't know how much is left before dark..." He Zhaoxi continued to eat raw meat, "Or you and I will have a showdown right now."
The corner of Su Qin's mouth was slightly raised, and he glanced up, "I will accept your proposal, because I don't have much patience, and I don't like people watching it like a monkey show."
He Zhaoxi looked at the grove in front of him, nodded, and said, "This is the boundary?"
Su Qin said lightly: "This is the boundary."
He Zhaoxi didn't say anything more, he was still eating the meat with big mouthfuls, as if he was going to finish the raw meat at once, at the same time he turned around and started running.
Su Qin also turned around and began to move forward without haste.
"What the hell are they doing?" Xie Changsheng asked with a cold face.
Even from such a distance, he could see that He Zhaoxi's running at this time was not because he was afraid of Su Qin, but because the two had reached an agreement during the conversation just now.
"Divide and eat."
Xu Heshan took a deep breath, looked at Xie Changsheng and said slowly.
Xie Changsheng was stunned, and he also reacted.
Indeed, if he could capture all the other competitors in this circle directly, this kind of trial would be over directly, and it wouldn't take three days at all.
"It's just that this is also very dangerous." He said with an ugly face: "Continuous battles will make you feel bad, and you may even be injured, and you will lose to people who are not as good as you."
Xu Heshan nodded, glanced at him, and said softly: "You are right, but Su Qin is proud, and He Zhaoxi is confident."
Xie Changsheng took a deep breath.
Logically speaking, the choice of Su Qin and He Zhaoxi has nothing to do with him, and even the dull and boring time will be greatly reduced. In the depths, there was even the idea that Ding Ning would win in the end.
…
A Baiyangdong student who was picking golden-yellow wild oranges from a wild orange tree suddenly felt something, and rushed forward with a stride, dodging behind the orange tree.
Seeing the person who appeared in his field of vision, his expression was slightly relaxed, and he subconsciously called softly: "Senior Brother Su Qin."
However, in the next moment, he saw Su Qin's hand holding the hilt of the sword, and his face froze immediately.
"Since it is a fair trial, there must be a fair competition between the same sect."
"Feel sorry."
After Su Qin said these two sentences, he drew his sword.
There was a soft chirp.
The mist in front of him was completely shaken away, and a bright passage appeared.
A purple sword light jumped out from his left sleeve.
He is different from ordinary practitioners, he has a left-handed sword.
His sword is very long, a foot longer than ordinary long swords, and his sword with purple flames shining all over it can be very soft.
When the sword light pierced straight in front of the Baiyang Cave student, the Baiyang Cave student drew out his sword in shock, and blocked the sword light with a cross.
However, the sword light suddenly bent, and the soft sword body formed a semicircle, and with a bang, it hit the white sheep cave student's neck.
The student from Baiyang Cave took a few steps back and passed out instantly.
Su Qin nodded in apology, took off the two tokens hanging from the waist of the Baiyangdong student, and continued on his way.
at the same time.
In another place, there was a muffled thunderous explosion, and a circular air wave visible to the naked eye spread out, as if a passage had been smashed out of the space.
A figure flew backward miserably, slammed into the vine wall behind, and was unable to get up again.
On the opposite side of him, behind the spreading circular air wave, He Zhaoxi withdrew his sword with his backhand, and then continued to run wildly.
The raw meat he was carrying had been chewed up and swallowed by him.
At this moment, his abdomen was bulging high, and under his wild running, there was even a sound like a toad screaming between his stomach and intestines.
