Chapter 39: Sect Competition (3)

In the fourth round, there were two hundred arenas, most of which had only three batches of fighting, and a few had four batches, so it ended quickly, and the fifth round began immediately.

  There were a total of 625 people left to participate in the draw in this round, and one of them was a bye.

  Shen Qingluo was lucky to be the one with a bye.

  Looking at the result of the draw revealed on the spiritual stone, all the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

  In the fifth round of fighting, there were at most two batches, and most of the arenas had only one round.

  Shen Qingluo came to the arena where his friend was to watch the fight.

Xia Jinxi's opponent this time, Zhong Shangchen, was good at controlling beasts. As soon as the fight started, he released four spirit beasts to besiege Xia Jinxi.

  These four spirit beasts have their own characteristics. Some are good at speed, some are good at poisonous attacks, and the one rushing in the front has thick skin and flesh and is good at defense.

  Shen Qingluo guessed that her friend's opponent this time might have some background. Not to mention anything else, just raising these four spirit beasts would cost a lot of spirit stones.

  Not to mention that this person himself has four spiritual roots, and his aptitude is not good. He will need more resources for cultivation. But even so, he has cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining with a bone age of less than 30.

  If there is no great opportunity, then there must be help from middle and high-level cultivators.

  As expected, among the cultivators watching the battle, someone soon mentioned Zhong Shangchen, the grandson of Elder Zhong of the Beast Control Peak. Elder Zhong loved his grandson as much as his life and invested countless cultivation resources in Zhong Shangchen.

  Shen Qingluo was a little worried about her friend. Although Jinxi's strength was good, if she encountered a powerful attack like a talisman like her, the situation would be a little bad.

  On the ring, knowing she couldn't hold back her strength this time, she change her approach, for the first time in this competition, she performed Tai Chi swordsmanship.

  The Yin Yang sword intent condensed on the tip of the sword, blue sword intent and red sword intent, tearing a white light and rushing straight and struck the four spirit beasts.

Wherever the sword intent passed, frost covered the ground and murderous aura filled the sky.

Unprepared, the four spirit beasts the this ferocious sword intent head on, the result is three out of four activate restriction ban and exit the arena. The only remaining spirit beast is the one has thick skin and flesh and is good at defense, but it also become bloody mess and can't stand up anymore.

At the same time, dozens of exclamations rang out around the ring "Hiss.. what a domineering sword intent, I think this person already good enough to comprehend sword intent before building foundation, but didn't expect she already comprehend two sword intent"

Someone who know about sword intent took over the words: "What do you know.. that's combination of the two sword intent of course it will be more powerful, and the red one is the domineering killing sword intent!"

Someone respond "Already comprehend the killing sword intent before entering the way... This senior sister Xia is genius sword cultivator!"

In the arena, Xia Jinxi bypass the remaining spirit beast and attacked Zhong Shangchen directly. She performed Tai Chi swordsmanship for the second time, Yin Yang sword intent condensed on the tip of the sword, blue sword intent and red sword intent, rushing again straight towards the opponent.

Knowing the strength of this attack, Zhong Shangchen controlled the trident to maintain the barrier, and her spiritual energy was rapidly consumed, and her face turned pale little by little.

  It was like two whistling swords hitting the sea, breaking the waves and riding the wind, moving forward without hesitation, and hitting the barrier fiercely.

  Crack!

  The sound of the barrier breaking was subtle and tiny, but it frightened Zhong Shangchen into a cold sweat.

Sure enough with the first crack, come second, third, with bang, the top-grade spritual weapon break.

And it's not stopping this ferocious sword intent at all but half of the attack accepted by Zhong Shangchen, and blocked by his protective treasure as expected, if it's ordinary disciple they would've lose.

  After fighting him, she found that Zhong Shangchen's reaction was quite slow during the battle. He should have rarely exchanged martial arts with others in the past.

In fact she can take advantage of this shortcomings by playing tricks. But she decided not to do it, not that she is noble or something, but this time she want to take advantage of this safe environment to test her strength. And it's not like this will be the last time she met with second-generation filled up by bunch of life-saving equipment.

The next fight the audience see is continuously attack of Yin Yang sword intent from Xia Jinxi. Each sword intent that's released more ferocious than the other and more proficient than the other. They can't help sweating cold sweat when they are imagining they're the one who's receiving it. Even though they can have protective equipment, but that cold that bring chills deeps to the bone and the killing aura is really terrible.

In fact they're not far from the truth, although Zhong Shangchen safe because of his equipment, he really feel bad because of the continous cold and killing sword intent. He just felt cold penetrated his bones, and everytime he was attacked by killing sword intent he was facing it's tirany power head on.

In the end he just felt the spiritual energy in her dantian was exhausted, the cold air was rampant, and the pain in his brain was piercing. Seeing continuing this didn't work and just increase his suffering, he clenched his fists and made a decision.

  When Xia Jinxi preparing her next attack, she heard the young man on the opposite side shout loudly: "I admit defeat!"

Xia Jinxi: "..."

This is the second person to admit defeat. It's really disappointing, where again can she find an easy punching bag that let you attack freely?

  In the blink of an eye, only Xia Jinxi stood on the top of the arena with a sword in hand, the sword light was soul-stirring and dazzling, which really reflect sword cultivator on other disciple's mind and thinking "Senior sister Xia scared the opponent away"

  Shen Qingluo watched her friend win, and all her worries disappeared. However, with Sun Wang's experience as a lesson in mind, she began to guard against Zhong Shangchen's sudden attack and hurting others.

  Fortunately, he didn't seem want to stay here. After leaving the ring, he remained silent and left Xiwu Peak directly.

  In the sixth round of the battle, there were 313 participants in the draw, and Shen Qingluo was given a bye again.

  When she saw the result of the draw, she had a rare moment of doubt in her heart.

  Was it a coincidence that she had been given a bye for two consecutive rounds? Or did the elders of the sect intervene?

  Not only her, but many cultivators had the same doubt.

  In fact, the elders who were watching the battle from high above were also confused at this moment. They knew very well that no one had intervened with the spiritual stone, and everything was purely a coincidence.

  An elder stretched out his hand and stroked his long beard while saying, "This junior has some strange luck. It feels good sometimes and bad sometimes, two extremes?"

  "Yeah, about the same." An elder from Zhenfeng agreed, "In the first three rounds of fighting, she drew all inner disciples. To be honest, if the three eliminated juniors hadn't met her, they could have entered the top 100 based on their strength. It's a pity."

  An elder disagreed,"The sect competition is decided by drawing lots, which is a test of the luck of the participating disciples. After entering Yanlan Cave Heaven, if you have very bad luck, you won't get many opportunities."

  On Xiwu Peak, the fighting on each stage has already begun. As a bye, Shen Qingluo stayed next to the 81st stage and continued to watch his friends fight.

  This time, Xia Jinxi's opponent is the same as her, with dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, and the ninth level of Qi Refining.

  Compared with Shen Qingluo, the power of the skills used by this dual spiritual root cultivator is much weaker, but it is not weak.

  The two fought for dozens of rounds, and there was no winner.

  In the end, Xia Jinxi used Yin Yang sword intent, and gradually won the duel.

  Half an incense stick later, the seventh round of drawing lots came out.

  From this round on, the eliminated can get an extra chance to continue the duel with the other eliminated. If they win, they can enter the top 100; if they lose, they will not be able to go to Yanlan Dongtian.

  In this round, the person who got a bye was still Shen Qingluo. After three consecutive byes, she directly entered the top 100 and obtained a place in Yanlan Dongtian.

  Xia Jinxi was defeated by a person with ice spirit roots at the ninth level of Qi Refining in this round because the opponent use sound attacks on her, she really doesn't have countermeasures for this kind of sound attack now, can only thinking fulfilling shortcomings by equipment later.

Next Xia Jinxi continued a duel with another eliminated person with fire and earth spirit roots. In the end, she won and successfully entered the top 100.

  For her, getting a place in Yanlan Dongtian was enough. As for the specific ranking of the top 100, she didn't care.
