As the saying goes, the spring river is warm and the duck is prophet, but the creatures living and cruising on the water will never be able to experience the undercurrents quietly surging at the bottom of the riverbed. Once the energy accumulated in the undercurrents at the bottom of the river is released, these creatures can only go with the flow in this storm and flood, or fight for their own destiny.

This is true for the disciples of Lingshan Sect now. Even Kong Yunzhen and the head of Lingshan Sect have not yet noticed the dangerous aura that is gradually coming, and their attention is still attracted by the current assessment and rating.

When the third round of assessment war officially began, all the arenas in the martial arts field of Lingshan Sect Wentianshan were merged into one, and the arena was expanded again, forming an extremely huge arena, one hundred meters long, ninety meters wide and about twenty centimeters high.

There is a white line around the bottom of the ring and marks the ring. This is to prevent the stone floor above from being broken, and the boundary cannot be distinguished, so it is impossible to determine whether it is out of boundary or not. In the ring, as long as the body touches the ground and exceeds this line, it is considered a loss.

However, because the area of ​​the ring is enlarged again, the monks' activity space has become larger, and the difficulty of being shot out of the ring has increased exponentially. As before, the tactic of forcing the opponent to block the space and pushing the opponent little by little to the ring has officially ended here.

If you want to win, there is only one way: defeat the opponent directly!

But similarly, due to the expansion of the scope, the weaker side has a larger space for the activity, which is more conducive to their dealing with the strong. In order to deal with the opponent's guerrilla tactics, the strong have to come up with ways to deal with it, otherwise they may fall into an embarrassing situation of having an advantage but not winning.

The Lingshan School has held many years of assessment and ratings. Each round is carefully formulated with rules, with very obvious purpose and targeting: the first round is to select outstanding disciples from the crowd as soon as possible, and to protect some outstanding disciples or outstanding combat talents. Therefore, the arena is smaller at this time, which is conducive to the forced combat of the strong and ensure that stronger disciples can break out. At the same time, although the competition area is clear, the opponent is unclear, this is to give those weaker but outstanding disciples a breakthrough to break out, so that they can take advantage of it.

The ring will be expanded in the second round, with clear competition areas but clear opponents. At this time, the competition is often the respective foundation and strength, and the tendency of the competition system is becoming more and more obvious: ensuring that the seed players can break through smoothly. At the same time, the expanded ring range gives some powerful but weak disciples better room to play, giving them a certain opportunity to break out.

Zhao Xiaobao is an obvious vested stakeholder. His fighting style is obvious: the larger the space, the larger the range of activities, the more unpredictable his actions, and the harder his attacks are to be prepared.

In the third round, the ring expanded again, giving weaker opponents a larger range of activities and dodging. But similarly, due to the expansion of the ring, stronger players can use spells with larger range and stronger lethality, and both sides also gain, which shows that the purpose of the assessment begins to tend toward two words: fairness.

It not only gives the weak space to play, but also gives the strong a stage to play. After two rounds, both sides are satisfied, and the rest is a battle of wits and courage.

On the first day of the third round, the top 16 battles, and the first game was watched with everyone. Zhao Xiaobao fought against Ouyang Xiu from Zangxiu Pavilion!

One is an old-fashioned seed player. Since entering the cabinet, he has never missed the third round of the assessment war. Especially after the second assessment war, Ouyang Xiu even reached the quarterfinals in one fell swoop and officially became a young disciple with an unlimited future in Lingshan Sect. After the third round of the assessment war, Ouyang Xiu entered the top three, and never dropped out of the top three again.

The other one is one of the three dark horses that were evaluated and rated this time, Zhao Xiaobao from Zangjian Pavilion!

The lightning sword in his hand perfectly matched Zhao Xiaobao's characteristics, making him fierce in close combat and erratic in distance attacks. The monks who met Zhao Xiaobao before were extremely overwhelmed and very painful.

Fight with Zhao Xiaobao in close combat. His figure is erratic. He is in front of him, but before blinking, he is in front of him, but after blinking, he is dozens of meters away, and his fierce moves and attacks are all lost.

Fight with Zhao Xiaobao in the distance. His two mother-child lightning swords are not vegetarians. Zhao Xiaobao can stand in the distance and control the two mother-child lightning swords to launch a tide-like attack. The fierce attacks of the two long swords can be fought from beginning to end without stopping!

But if you pursue Zhao Xiaobao, you will immediately repeat the embarrassing situation when you were in close combat with Zhao Xiaobao.

A good top magic weapon can bring earth-shaking changes to users. Some magic weapons with extremely outstanding functions may even make users "slaves" of magic weapons. In order to maximize the power of magic weapons, their entire cultivation direction will develop in the direction of fitting magic weapons.

Although this has huge disadvantages, if the power of a magic weapon is fully exerted, its combat power is very amazing. Han Tianxing and Zhao Xiaobao are among many cases.

Therefore, although this battle is obviously strong and weak, it is also full of suspense. Zhang Jinbao opened a handicap against this battle. Ouyang Xiu lost one point and two points, proving that everyone is optimistic that Ouyang Xiu can win, and gave Zhao Xiaobao an odds of one point and five points.

Due to the high odds and Zhao Xiaobao fought all the way, although he was thrilling in the battle and lost many games, when he became familiar with the Mother and Child Lightning Sword, Zhao Xiaobao narrowly entered the second round. However, he won every battle and every game, and he was in pain to his opponent, and he could not see the possibility of winning at all.

This also made many gamblers willing to gamble and bet on Zhao Xiaobao, causing his odds to fall from one to five to one, and to one, three, while Ouyang Xiu's odds to rise from one, one, one, two, to one, one, seven.

Such odds change can be seen from the side that the strength symbol in everyone's eyes after Zhao Xiaobao emerged.

But Zhao Xiaobao was very unsure because Ouyang Xiu was the first real strong man he met.

Although Ouyang Xiu almost lost the battle against Huang Nishang, everyone knows that this is not the crime of war, because Shuangyue, the magic weapon of the demon clan is too domineering, and Huang Nishang's identity is doubtful!

In addition, the combat power shown by Ouyang Xiu in all battles can only be described in one word: dominance!

This dominance is even stronger than Huangfu Song!

Because Ouyang Xiu’s fighting skills are not only based on her own magic weapon, her strength also comes from her strategy and wisdom!

When she meets an opponent who is weaker than her, she will use her protective golden body to crush her opponent with strength and not give her any chance; when she meets an opponent with equal strength, she will patiently deal with the opponent and accurately predict the opponent's next action, and conduct accurate strikes on the opponent's actions: when she meets an opponent who is obviously stronger than her... Among the younger generation of disciples of the Lingshan Sect, there is no opponent who is obviously stronger than her. Only Qianshanxue and Senior Sister are obviously stronger than her. The other Huangfu Song and Li Xuanming's strength are just half the battle.

Therefore, in the war zone below the golden body, Ouyang Xiu has no natural enemies. Her strength does not come from her absolute strength, nor from her fierce combat style, but from her ever-changing combat style that can bend and stretch, advance and retreat, fast and slow, hard and soft. She has never had a fixed combat routine, and her combat methods have always changed according to the characteristics of the other party.

Someone gave Ouyang Xiu a nickname called: Golden Bell Cover.

It means that once she decides to cover herself, the opponent will not be able to attack. Once she decides to cover her, the opponent will definitely not be able to escape!

During the two days of rest, the more Li Chengfeng studied Ouyang Xiu's information, the more he felt that this opponent was very terrible. The reason for studying her in depth was that once Zhao Xiaobao and Ouyang Xiu were defeated and he won and entered the next round, the opponent Li Chengfeng was facing was not someone else, but Ouyang Xiu!

Among the three major obstacles at present, Huangfu Song's Tianhuo Saint Sword has huge hidden dangers. Li Chengfeng knows that he has a way to win. Li Xuanming consumed terrible things in the battle with Han Tianxing. If he wins the next battle, the consumption will be even greater. In such consumption, he cannot go to the end, so it is not worth worrying.

The real opponent is Ouyang Xiu, who is unscathed, has not been consumed at all, and may also have a trump card hidden!

"Young Master..."

Before going to the arena, Zhao Xiaobao looked at Li Chengfeng nervously, lowered his voice and said, "Can I win?"

Li Chengfeng pressed his hands on Zhao Xiaobao's shoulder, looked at him seriously, and said, "Xiaobao, you have been fighting all the way. Have you come to this day just to lose? You have to believe in yourself. Even if everyone doesn't like you, I will support you! Look..."

As he said that, he shook the bet slip in his hand and said, "I have already put all my money on you. You know my eyes, I won't miss it!"

Zhao Xiaobao felt warm and moved: "Young Master, I will definitely win!!"

Li Chengfeng patted Zhao Xiaobao on the shoulder heavily and watched him walk onto the ring, but Su Yuehan next to him rolled his eyes and whispered: "Why are you so shameless? Tell lies with your eyes open?"

Li Chengfeng also rolled his eyes: "I was right. I bet all my money on Zhao Xiaobao, I just bet him to lose..."

Su Yuehan looked at Zhao Xiaobao sympathetically: "If Xiaobao knew that you bet him and lost, I wouldn't know how sad it would be."

Li Chengfeng sneered and said, "How could it be? He won, I'm happy for him, he lost, he's happy for me, the best of both worlds!"

Su Yuehan: "..."
