Chapter 38: Sect Competition (2)

  Shen Qingluo was not a stubborn person when it came to interpersonal relationships, and she did not refuse Situ Lan's kindness again.

  Time passed bit by bit, and the competitions on each arena continued. Situ Lan lost in the second round and did not stay on the peak for long, and left here soon.

  Shen Qingluo and her friend Xia Jinxi came to the 81st ring together. At this moment, the tenth battle on the ring was about to end.

  Not long after, one of the teenagers was teleported out by the ban, and the winner was decided.

  Xia Jinxi walked onto the ring and the eleventh battle began. Her opponent, Sun Wang, was a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator with a bone age of nearly 100 years and five spiritual roots.

  The life span of a Qi Refining cultivator is only slightly longer than that of a mortal, usually between 120 and 150. If a cultivator still cannot break through the foundation building stage when his life span is more than half, then the hope of breaking through in the future will only be slimmer, almost zero.

  So far, the opponent that her friend encountered is the one with the oldest bone age that Shen Qingluo has ever seen.

  At this moment on the ring, the two have already attacked each other. Sun Wang's attack was extremely ruthless, and his moves went straight to the vital points.

  He was originally one small realms higher than Xia Jinxi, so even if Xia Jinxi was a sword cultivator, she couldn't suppressed opponent.

  Fortunately, there was a defensive spiritual weapon, the golden armor shield.

  The skills used by Sun Wang were all yellow-grade, and compared to the heaven-grade skills used by Shen Qingluo, the power gap was more than a little bit.

  After about half a cup of tea later and getting used to her opponent's move, Xia Jinxi seized an excellent opportunity and instantly released a cold sword intent, slashing at the opponent who showed a slight flaw in defense.

  The ring restriction was instantly activated, and Sun Wang was teleported out. Shen Qingluo clearly felt that this person was in a bad mood.

  His eyes were red and he was on the verge of rage.

  Seeing Xia Jinxi walk down the ring, Sun Wang shouted loudly, ignoring the sect rules, and directly attacked her. This time, his attack was extremely vicious, and he went straight to Xia Jinxi's Dantian, looking like he wanted to destroy her cultivation.

  When Shen Qingluo noticed that something was wrong with this person, she was secretly on guard. At this moment, she took action immediately, holding the Sword and picking up the long sword in the man's hand with a sword, while condensing the golden spiritual power in her palm, punching out and forcing him back.

  Before she could ask, the Jindan cultivator who was responsible for maintaining the order of the ring came and completely subdued Sun Wang.

  Under the pressure of two realms higher, Sun Wang was pressed to the ground. His face was full of reluctance. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but under the strong pressure, he couldn't say a word, and instead spit out a mouthful of blood.

  This man was quickly taken away. He intended to harm his fellow disciples, and his fate can be imagined.

  "Qingluo, thank you for your action just now, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."

  "I also noticed something wrong in advance, otherwise I might not have been able to do it in time. It is said that the closer the life span of the cultivator is, the crazier the behavior is. Now it seems that this is true. Even if this person cannot represent all, at least he has reminded us."

  "Well, I was careless myself and didn't have the necessary vigilance. This mistake will never be made again next time!"

  The story of Sun Wang soon spread on Xiwu Peak. The reactions of the cultivators were different. Some harshly rebuked him, and some were indifferent. These two expressions accounted for the vast majority. The remaining few people were sympathetic, and some were gloating.

  Xia Jinxi didn't pay attention to other people's opinions, but continued to watch the battle with his friends.

  Half an incense stick later, the second round of fighting was completely over. A light flashed on the spiritual stone, and the third round of drawing lots began, and the result came out soon.   

  Number 9999 vs. Number 235, Arena 10, first batch.

  Number 9998 vs. Number 487, Arena 81, first batch.

As both Xia Jinxi and She Qingluo were the first batch, they immediately set off to their perceptive arena.

Xia Jinxi walked onto the ring and the battle soon began. This time she was lucky to draw a relatively weak opponent, seventh level of Qi training, and from the look of it doesn't have defensive magic weapon too.

When the battle start, Xia Jinxi decide to do a quick fight, she swing her sword right away and release cold sword intent to the opponent's neck, but was dodged. When the second cold sword intent came, the opponent powerless and restrictions of the arena is on and get him out. She won in this battle.

Xia Jinxi walked off the ring, and come to arena No. 10. When she came, she happened to see the scene of the two talismans being activated.

Seeing this, her whole heart was lifted up. Although the ring fight would not be life-threatening, it was possible to be seriously injured. Fortunately, not long after Shen Qingluo come out and there was no danger in the end, her friend also won.

Unlike the others who were shocked and awed, Yao Molian quickly came to her friend's side, revealing a worry in her eyes.

  "Qingluo, how do you feel? Are you not injured?"

  Facing her friend's concern, Shen Qingluo smiled slightly, "I have taken the healing pill, and it's okay."

  Xia Jinxi was relieved.

  After the fight, the destroyed arena No. 10 was restored to its original state under the effect of the ban. Both sides of the second fight had already gone up.

  Shen Qingluo did not choose to continue watching the fight. She found a relatively remote place to meditate and recuperate, refining the remaining medicinal power of the blood coagulation pill until the fourth round of the fight began.

During this period, Xia Jinxi was always by her side, blocking her fellow disciples who wanted to come forward to talk with reason of recuperating.

  About four incense sticks later, as the spiritual stone lit up again, the results of the fourth round of drawing lots gradually appeared.

  Xia Jinxi quickly saw the battle information related to himself and Shen Qingluo.

  No. 9,999 vs. No. 8,160, arena No. 10, the second batch.

  No. 9,998 vs. No. 1,704, arena No. 81, the second batch

  Since it is not the first game, they did not get up and go immediately, but continued to rest for a while.

Xia Jinxi's opponent is Wang Get, a cultivator with the three spiritual roots of gold, water and wood at the ninth level of Qi Refining. This person has practiced a powerful body refining technique, with strong defense and average attack power.

She walked onto the stage with a calm expression, and the battle began.

Xia Jinxi immediately swung her sword and release cold sword intent first, but it just cause large bleeding to her opponent. She knew that she encounter powerful body cultivator with strong defense.

The two fought for hundreds of rounds as Xia Jinxi doesn't want to reveal all of her card first, and in the end Xia Jinxi won with cold sword intent.

On the other side, Shen Qingluo was lucky this time. The opponent she drew, Yang Zhi, was also at the eighth level of Qi Refining, with three spiritual roots of water, wood and earth. He was a disciple who entered the sect last time and was still in the outer peak without becoming a disciple.

  She walked onto the stage with a calm expression, not looking down on her opponent because of his cultivation.

  On the contrary, Yang Zhi had a bitter face. He had watched the three previous battles between Shen Qingluo and the inner sect disciples, and believed that he could not defeat the opponent with his own strength.

  Thinking of the embarrassed appearance of Senior Brother Fei and Senior Brother Mu when they were teleported out of the arena, he clenched his fists and made a decision.

  When the duel began, Shen Qingluo was about to start when she heard the young man on the opposite side shout loudly: "I admit defeat!"

  Shen Qingluo: "..."

  Since the beginning of the competition, this seems to be the first time that someone has taken the initiative to admit defeat before the fight even started.

  This fight ended before it even started, and it was the fastest victory.

  Many cultivators who planned to watch the battle did not mock, on the contrary, some people thought that Yang Zhi made a wise choice.

  Rather than suffering and being thrown out by the ban, it is better not to fight at the beginning. After all, the result is already determined in their opinion.

  Of course, there are also very few cultivators who think that Shen Qingluo had been meditating before, and it is very likely that he has been injured and has not recovered. If Yang Zhi goes all out, there may be a glimmer of hope.

  However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shen Qingluo is in good condition and does not look like he is injured. Yang Zhi also thinks so, otherwise he would not have admitted defeat so neatly.
