In the sword domain space, after a crisp sound, a human-shaped light and shadow shattered into flowing light and disappeared in front of Wang Dong. Wang Dong put away the remaining sword and said: "A seventh-level sword spirit warrior has the strength of an eighth-level warrior. In the past, you were still holding me down and fighting, but now I actually won with just one knife!"
"This is nothing to be proud of. Although it has the strength of an eighth-level warrior, it is still a seventh-level warrior in terms of realm. There is no absolute level suppression for you." The sword soul turned sideways and looked at the eighth-level warrior. The warrior sword spirit was unlocked on the "Eighty-one Sword Spirit Map" and opened its mouth to attack Wang Dong.
"Then I'll challenge a high-level sword spirit to show you..." The sword spirit's words made Wang Dong feel a little frustrated. In his opinion, his overall strength should have no problem facing an eighth-level warrior, or even a ninth-level warrior. When he was a martial arts disciple, he felt that he was capable of fighting, so he wanted to prove this to the sword soul with practical actions.
Following Wang Dong's thoughts, the eighth-level sword spirit warrior ran out of the picture. Wang Dong raised his sword and rushed forward first, fighting with him.
The light of the sword flickered in the space of the sword domain, and after the sky and the earth became dark, Wang Dong finally used his mind's quadruple sword to cut off the head of the eighth-level sword spirit. Although Wang Dong himself was in an extremely embarrassed state during this battle, with many stains on his body. , he still couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "The eighth-level martial arts disciple Dao Ling has the strength of a ninth-level martial arts disciple, have you seen it? Even if it is a ninth-level martial arts disciple, I can still fight with him!"
"There are always exceptions..." The corner of Daohun's mouth twitched and he responded to Wang Dong.
"What's going on..." Wang Dong ignored the blow of the sword spirit this time, but looked straight at the "Eighty-one Sword Spirit Map". It stands to reason that after he defeated the eighth-level sword spirit warrior, the bottom one All nine sword spirits at the platoon warrior level should be unlocked, but in Wang Dong's field of vision, the ninth sword spirit picture was still extremely gray, with no change at all.
"Hehe, you're not up to your level..." Daohun smiled and responded with the words he just said to attack Wang Dong.
Wang Dong's mouth twitched when he heard this. Could it be that the sword spirit deliberately prevented the sword spirit diagram from being unlocked
"I can't control the Sword Spirit Map..." As if aware of Wang Dong's thoughts, Sword Soul explained: "I told you before that every time there is a number of five or nine, a special sword spirit will appear in the Sword Spirit Map. The ninth one will appear on the Sword Spirit Map." This sword spirit is naturally a leader-level sword spirit similar to Xiao Wu. Summoning it naturally requires certain conditions... "
"It's really a matter of my realm..." Wang Dong nodded and pondered. When he thought that the ninth-level warrior sword spirit was a leader-level existence, Wang Dong couldn't help but feel hot. Xiao Wu had benefited him a lot and made many breakthroughs. , which made Wang Dong full of expectations for this ninth-level leader Dao Ling, and he became more and more eager to improve his own realm.
After returning to the practice room from the sword domain space, Wang Dong immediately sat cross-legged and practiced "Guihai Jue" and "Jade Pan Pudu". He did not hesitate at all with the two low-grade soul stones he received from the Zongwu Hall. Just hold a piece in one hand and enjoy it to your heart's content.
The soul power continued to flow into his body, making Wang Dong couldn't help but moan in pleasure. A hundred years without the nourishment of soul power made Wang Dong more and more fascinated by the feeling of soul power flowing.
In order to make his soul power circulate more smoothly, Wang Dong ran the Jade Plate Pudu crazily to nourish his heavenly spirit. When the heavenly spirit was at its best, Wang Dong ran the Return to the Sea Jue again, condensing his own soul. Soul power all over the body.
"Hey, the rematch will be held in three days, and there is no time to break through to the seventh-level martial arts..." Wang Dong sighed with some regret: "If everything goes well, it will be good to be able to reach the level of six-level martial arts in these three days." Already…”
After the two low-grade soul stones in his hand had been turned into powder, Wang Dong's idea was further strengthened. If there were enough soul stones to infuse soul power, he would still be sure to stabilize his cultivation at the sixth level of martial arts. However, according to the The current situation seems to be very uncertain.
"Okay, let's finish training today..." Wang Dong sprinkled the soul stone powder in his hand on the ground, stood up from the futon, and walked outside the practice room. Although he knew that the competition would be held in three days, he did not know the specific format of the competition. He still didn't know, so he decided to go around the martial arts field to see if he could get any useful information.
"Is this... the arena?" When he walked to the arena, Wang Dong was attracted by the huge thing in the middle of the arena. This was the black stone soul weapon of Elder Changxu Chuangong. At this time, it had turned into a huge arena and was floating. It was about a person's height above the ground, parallel to the ground, and spinning constantly.
What surprised Wang Dong was that the black stone Horcrux was surrounded by scorching flames. The flames seemed to be alive and were rolling around the black stone Horcrux.
Wang Dong took a closer look and found that the flame was actually the burning scarf Horcrux of Elder Xiu Yutang. However, although the Horcrux burned fiercely, it did not suffer any damage.
Not only that, on the huge table of the Black Stone Horcrux Arena, there are actually several wind whirlpools that are constantly moving on the table. The wind whirlpools seem to be carrying some broken sand, which can not only affect people's vision, but also bring With extremely terrifying power.
"What kind of arena is this?" Wang Dong was not the only one who had doubts about this arena. Some people who had just arrived at the arena also exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the black stone soul weapon in the center.
"Don't you know?" A Zhuhai Gang disciple said: "This is the 'trial stage' jointly built by the elders of the thirteen sects. Everyone knows that the semi-finals are an arena competition, but they don't know that this arena competition is not just Is it as simple as fighting in the ring?"
"Tell me, what's the point?" Some curious disciples of the Thirteen Sects immediately surrounded the Zhuhai Gang disciples and urged them hurriedly.
Wang Dong noticed that this Zhuhai Gang disciple was actually the eighth-level martial arts disciple who told him to give up climbing at the foot of the temple stairs when he was in the Blade Secret Realm. Unexpectedly, this man was a know-it-all. He had to explain carefully when the other party opened his mouth. , Wang Dong did not hesitate, raised his feet and leaned over.
"An ordinary arena duel is just a competition of force, but the trial stage is different. It itself is a test for the contestants..." The know-it-all of the Zhuhai Gang said: "The elders of the thirteen sects jointly built a trial stage. The purpose of the stage is to increase the difficulty for the contestants and artificially create a harsh competition environment... "
"This is really amazing!"
"This way, the game will become more exciting."
The crowd suddenly burst into exclamation.
"Yes, this is indeed the brilliance of the Thirteen Sect Elders!" Zhuhai Clan's Know-How said proudly: "What you see now is just the prototype of the trial platform. On the day of the real competition, let alone the whirlwind With the flames, rain, snow, thunder and lightning will be created. In every game, a unique environment will be randomly created in the arena, and every game is different!"
"It's possible to do this..." Wang Dong's mouth trembled when he heard this. The methods of these thirteen sect elders were so amazing. As a result, the difficulty of the competition was not only increased a lot, but also the details that needed to be paid attention to when participating in the competition. Just more.
However, Wang Dong also knows that although the arena will change to a different environment, it will not affect the fairness of the competition. The environment is a common test for both participating parties, but for the audience, the viewing experience has been greatly improved.
"One more thing, brothers and sisters, on the day of the rematch, I will open a gambling house in the northeast corner of the martial arts field. We can make money while watching the game. If you are interested, you can go and find me there. Maybe you will get unexpected gains. Here!" Zhuhai Gang Wanshitong finished his introduction and immediately added to everyone.
"Brother Wan Shitong, if you have such a good thing, I will definitely support you when the time comes!"
"Count me in… "
As soon as they heard that there was a lottery, everyone's mood immediately became active, and they couldn't wait to place their bets at Wanshitong.
"When the order of the match comes out, I can open some small houses for everyone, but now I also have a big house here..." Wan Shitong said here, looking at the eager people with playful eyes, watching their reactions.
"What's the point of selling it?"
"Yes, senior brother, you are right!"
"Hehe..." Sensing that everyone's enthusiasm had been mobilized by him again, Wanshitong said: "Everyone knows that originally there were twenty-seven places for the semi-finals, but only twenty people successfully advanced. As far as I know, this In the first round of the twenty-person arena battle, six people will be the winners. Then there will be a battle for the top three... "
"Twenty to six? Fourteen people were eliminated in one round!" Wang Dong frowned when he heard this. It seems that the first round of competition will be extremely fierce.
"So, my big bet is to predict the names of these six winners." Know-it-all grinned and said, "Let's see how many of you can guess right... If you guess all of them right, you will make a fortune!"
"This is so predictable... It's like giving us money..." After someone heard Wan Shitong's words, he immediately took out some silver from his waist and gave Wan Shitong his first business.
With the first crab eater, the thirteen disciples who were watching began to come to Wan Shitong one after another and told their predictions. Wan Shitong took out the paper and pen that had been prepared in advance and wrote them out one by one. record it.
Wang Dong had no interest in this kind of gambling. After knowing the format of the competition and the characteristics of the competition venue, he went directly back to his practice room. There were still a few days left before the competition, and he planned to do his best to improve himself. His cultivation has been consolidated into the perfect state of a sixth-level warrior.
One day before the competition, Wang Dong returned to the martial arts field. The stone slabs with names engraved on the teleportation round platform appeared not far from the trial platform. These stone slabs were lined up in a row. Zhang Qing , Bingqing Yujie, Mace and other contestants’ names are all displayed in front of everyone’s sight.
Wang Dong didn't know the purpose of these stone slabs being arranged here, and he didn't think about it. He came to the martial arts field to draw lots for the first round of the competition.
Ten pairs of balls with serial numbers are used to draw lots. During the game, the serial numbers on the balls are the order in which the contestants enter the ring. The two people who catch the balls in the same order will compete in the ring.
What’s interesting is that the contestants can keep their own little balls after drawing lots, which means that they can keep their order of participation secret before going on stage. Only after they get on the stage do they know who their opponents are. who.
Wang Dong drew the No. 7 ball, which meant that he would compete in the seventh group. Knowing his order, Wang Dong collected the ball around his waist, turned around and returned directly to his practice room.
"Finally I did it..." On the early morning of the competition day, Wang Dong in the practice room stopped his movement of Guihai Jue. He only felt that his whole body was full of soul power, settling in his meridians with an extremely comfortable feeling. .
Wang Dong stood up from the futon and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, at the last moment, he stabilized his cultivation level at the sixth level of martial arts. Wang Dong felt much more at ease, although there was no hope of advancing to the seventh level of martial arts in such a short period of time. , but being able to reach the sixth level of martial arts perfection is already the best state that Wang Dong can achieve during the competition.
"Rematch...I'm coming!"
After stretching his body, Wang Dong showed a confident look on his face and strode towards the direction of the martial arts field.
