Chapter 201 The first round of defense
As a rumbling bombardment sounded, several spells formed by talismans bloomed in the air one after another.
The young man from the Wu family stared at the figure wrapped in various lights, and said to himself, "With the Fire Rain Talisman and more than ten low-level talismans, even ordinary high-grade magic weapons can't resist it. He will be dead this time."
Got it!"
Then he turned his head and glanced at the other Wu family disciples on the field with some pride. He couldn't help feeling disappointed that Wu Tianjiao, who was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining with him, came to the stage to fight on behalf of the Wu family, but he could only stay on the field to accept the challenge.
The incident aroused some dissatisfaction.
But before he could turn around, he heard a high-pitched clear sound coming from behind his ears, followed by several soft pops.
Then a figure shrouded in green light came from behind him and landed deftly in front of him.
"How is this possible?!"
Seeing this scene, Wu Tianduo couldn't help but scream, and fell to the ground with a pale face.
"Do you still want to fight?" The tall green light shrugged, and a clear young voice came from within.
"You, you..." Wu Tianduo's eyes widened with horror on his face, and he was speechless for a moment.
The oldest young man named Wu on the field frowned and glanced at Wu Tianduo, and said in a displeased tone, "Boy from the Hu family, this is considered your victory. Please leave quickly."
Hu Ruxing turned his head and glanced at the speaker, then put away his dazzling armor, bowed his hands to him, and jumped off the ring with a smile.
…
In the next two rounds of defense, Liu Xiaolu didn't get any chance to make a move. Almost all the designated opponents for the first round were Hu Rusong, who had the lowest cultivation level, and the second one was Hu Ruyuan.
The several young monks who came on stage to compete were all at the seventh level of Qi refining, so basically Liu Xiaolu would have nothing to do after the first two games.
It wasn't until the last match of the distribution match that the young man from the Mo family in Yishan walked onto the ring. After scanning a few people with his eyes, he actually directly challenged Liu Xiaolu.
Liu Xiaolu, who was already in a melon-eating posture, was startled when he saw this. He slapped the melon seed shells out of his palm with some embarrassment, then stood up and walked towards the field.
Seeing her approaching, the young man from the Mo family clasped his fists, bowed slightly, and said in a loud voice, "I'm from the Mo family in Yishan, Mo Jinze, please give me some advice."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu raised his head and looked towards the man.
Well, at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he looks about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Dressed in black clothes and black hair, the young man has a fair complexion, bright eyes, and handsome facial features. However, his cheeks are thin and his lips are thin, which for no reason gives people the feeling of being unfriendly to strangers.
After just one glance, Liu Xiaolu lowered his eyes and returned the greeting, "Yuchuan Hu family, Hu Rulu."
Mo Jinze's magic weapon is a high-grade flying sword with earth attributes. Although it suits his skill attributes, the earth attribute is good at defense after all, but its attack power is mediocre.
As for Liu Xiaolu, who was carrying a high-grade water-attribute defensive weapon, Mo Jinze was unable to easily break through its defense, so the situation on the field became deadlocked for a while.
Although Liu Xiaolu has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at this moment, he usually has the disguise of Qi Masking Technique. In the eyes of everyone, he is still at the eighth level of Qi Refining like Mo Jinze.
The two of them attacked and defended, and time passed little by little. Finally, when the battle lasted for nearly an hour, Mo Jinze finally put away his flying sword, surrendered and left.
For a member of the family like her to possess a top-grade magic weapon is already extraordinary. If she took out two at the same time, I'm afraid it would attract the attention of interested people.
What's more, Liu Xiaolu knew in her heart that her title as the young master of the Hu family was just a false name, so she had no intention of using the high-grade flying sword and distraction-repelling skills in this competition.
Even if Mo Jinze persisted for a little longer, she would pretend to be exhausted and give in.
After all, the less strength she reveals at this time, the greater her chances of successfully escaping from the secret realm after the incident.
The head of the Hu family didn't treat her as one of his own, so why should she foolishly go all out for the Hu family at this moment?
After four rounds of competition, Hu Ruxing was unstoppable and won four places in a row for the Hu family, making the Hu family smile with joy.
The three families of Wu, Mo, and Xu were all in the hands of the Hu family and got three places.
The worst player in this competition for quotas was the City Lord's Mansion, which lost half of the four competitions and only got two quotas in the end.
After the quotas were determined, Old City Master Jin took the stage and said a few words of encouragement to everyone, and then left with his subordinates.
As soon as Lord Jin left, the remaining family heads greeted each other and then dispersed.
…
On the way back to Yuchuan, Liu Xiaolu and Hu Ruxing still rode in the same carriage.
After winning consecutively in the past two days, Hu Ruxing couldn't help but have a look of pride on his face, and his whole body was in high spirits.
"Hey, little gourd, let me tell you, don't look at the group of casual cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion who usually arrogantly pull chicken feathers to use as arrows, but you didn't expect that the nephews they trained are more talented than the others.
Tsk, you don’t even know that the guys guarding the city lord’s palace are all at the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining, and none of them can beat them.” Hu Ruxing shook his head and showed off.
Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't forget, that Jin Ziqi from the City Lord's Mansion joined the Hedao Sect and did not participate in this competition."
Hu Ruxing raised his eyebrows and curled his lips with disdain, "Humph, what's so great about Golden Chess is that he is just a few years older than me. When I get to his age, I will definitely be better than him."
"Yes, yes, the young master is right." Liu Xiaolu pursed his lips and smiled, not bothering to argue with this kid.
Unexpectedly, Hu Ruxing came forward reluctantly and said dissatisfiedly, "You are a little gourd, you are not married yet, and now your elbow is turned outward?
What's so good about the golden chess piece? Don't forget that I am your mother-in-law!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you brat? I don't want to marry him." Liu Xiaolu frowned and reached out to Hu Ruxing's waist.
"Hey, hey, a gentleman can talk but not take action!" Hu Ruxing was excited, and with a swish, he backed away from Liu Xiaolu and shrank into a corner.
When Liu Xiaolu saw this, he gouged out his eyes and said angrily, "Who told you to talk nonsense!"
Hearing this, Hu Ruxing coughed dryly and changed the subject, "Well, I will go into seclusion this time when I go back and try to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the secret realm opens.
Don't look at it. Only a few of the people participating in Zongyuan City's selection this time are even at the eighth level of Qi Refining. But when the secret realm opens, hundreds of people will enter together.
By then there will definitely be a lot of monks who have reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and there will also be many people who have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and the tenth level of Qi Refining.
