Two hours later, Lin Chen returned to the Dragon Fighting Field again and found that there were even more spectators gathered. Even Yunyue also appeared. It was estimated that they had been brushed off.
Also, there are many powerful people on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and with Yunyue's strength, no matter how lucky she is, she can't reach them.
"Brother Xingyan!" came a familiar voice.
"Brother Duandao? Why are you here?" Lin Chen asked with a frown.
"Oh, forget it, I was eliminated in the first round. Why don't I come over here to cheer you on?" Duandao sighed and smiled.
"I'm interested." Lin Chen smiled slightly.
"That's right, you are the most promising person among our martial arts community right now. How dare I not support you, brother." Duandao said with a smile, "As long as you are not matched with that guy Jian Tong, you will be able to advance steadily with your strength.
The top four should be fine."
"Is this Xingyan? Although he behaves arrogantly, it can arouse the public outrage of the entire Jianzong disciples and save a lot of face." Sima Feng snorted softly: "Junior sister Tianqi, don't worry, this kid bullies you like this. If your next opponent is
If he does, senior brother will definitely help you teach him a lesson!"
"Really? His strength is not simple!" Sima Tianqi rolled his eyes. It's still unclear who will teach whom.
"Senior brother is not Jian Yu, I will never give this kid any chance!" Sima Feng vowed.
"Haha, the promotion to the semi-finals is finally here. Among the top eight players now, all of them have an advantage over Xingyan in terms of cultivation. The chance of matching with a strong opponent is very high. I guess they have to stop at the top eight, right?" Jian Yi sneered.
"But I feel that except for Jiantong, no one can be his opponent." Jianchou shook his head.
"Brother Qiu, do you think too highly of Xingyan?" Jian Yi said in astonishment.
"Well, maybe I overestimated him." Jian Chou nodded slightly, looked directly at Lin Chen with a pair of sharp eyes, and said secretly: "This kid is quite evil. He obviously feels that his cultivation is not high, but it is difficult for others to see through him.
.”
"The battle for the top four has begun, and we can take a good look at the strength of Xingyan." Dugu Yun said with an excited smile.
"I'm looking forward to it too." Dugu Jian smiled and said to himself: "Are you really Lin Chen? You have disappeared for so long? How much have you grown?"
"Brother, work harder and make sure to get Xingyan as your opponent, otherwise the pressure will be even greater if you want to reach the semi-finals." Mingyue said.
"It depends on luck." Ming Hai smiled slightly. In fact, if he really had to face Lin Chen, he would feel a little guilty.
From time to time!
Jiangu arrived as promised, and Shen Lang said: "The time has come. I believe all the contestants are already eager to try, right? For the sake of fairness, lots will be drawn in this round, and each group of opponents will be matched."
Soon!
A bamboo tube appeared in Jian Gu's hand, and he said sternly: "Now in my hand, there are red and blue double lots, divided into heaven, earth, black and yellow. The rules of the draw are also very simple. For example, the player who draws the red lot with the word Tian will face the player who is the sky.
The red and blue signs correspond to their respective Xuanhuang signs of heaven and earth, and the contestants can draw lots in my hand at will!"
Finished!
Jiantong stepped forward first, randomly drew a lot, glanced at it, and then hid it, giving people a sense of mystery.
"Tell me, what kind of lot did Senior Brother Jiantong draw?"
"No matter what the lottery is, whoever draws the same lottery as Senior Brother Jiantong will be unlucky."
"That's right, let's see which unlucky guy it is."
…
Everyone discussed that Jiantong had long been recognized as the champion of Group A.
then!
All contestants came forward in order and drew their signatures with great trepidation.
Yes!
They were also nervous and guilty. Anyone who encountered Jiantong would be eliminated directly.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, kept a low profile and only stepped forward to draw lots at the end.
"Yellow letters and blue signs, the last group again?" Lin Chen frowned and smiled secretly: "That's great, this way we can observe each opponent more intuitively."
After the lottery was completed, Jian Gu said loudly: "Okay, each contestant has drawn his or her own lottery, so I won't waste your precious time and invite the first group of contestants who drew the lottery to enter!
"
"Who is it?" Everyone looked curious.
Can't help!
A disciple of the Sword Sect walked onto the dragon fighting arena full of fighting spirit.
pity!
That Jianzong disciple had not been powerful for a long time. When he saw Jiantong walking on the stage with a helpless face, he immediately turned into a sad face and said in a weak tone to Jiantong: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Jiantong, little brother.
Abstain.”
"Yes!" Jiantong nodded slightly and turned around like a proud king.
"Isn't this too fast?"
"Can you be unhappy? We are all disciples of the same sect. Is it possible that he dares to offend Senior Brother Jiantong?"
"It's so easy. The place in the top four is guaranteed."
"What are the top four? Can you speak? With the strength of Senior Brother Jiantong, he has to be at the top of the list!"
…
Everyone shouted, and it was another unsuspicious opening, which suddenly reduced the enthusiasm of many spectators, and of course, it also whetted the appetite.
For other contestants, the two strong swordsmen were eliminated in the first game, and the pressure was significantly reduced.
"Fortunately, I finally avoided this evil star." Broken Blade felt relieved.
"Yes." Lin Chen nodded slightly. In fact, he really didn't want to confront Jiantong so early.
Jiantong glanced coldly and snorted: "This brat escaped another disaster, but I have to be patient. It depends on whether you can live up to your expectations!"
"Damn it, that kid took advantage of me again!" Jian Yi said bitterly.
"Don't worry, even if we exclude Jiantong, the strength of the other players is not weak." Jianchou said calmly.
Jian Gu was also quite helpless. After all, Jiantong was too strong. Apart from Lin Chen, no one would dare to challenge Jiantong head-on.
After only a moment, Jian Gu appeared again and said in a deep voice: "Jian Tong wins and advances. Please invite the players from the next group who draw the land lottery to enter!"
"Brother, it's your turn again. I wonder who your opponent will be?" Mingyue looked nervous.
"No matter who the opponent is, big brother must go all out." Ming Hai was full of fighting spirit, and like a fallen leaf, he jumped into the dragon fighting arena as silently and as light as a fallen leaf.
"It's Senior Brother Minghai!"
"Who will the opponent be?"
"I really hope it's Xingyan. He's the only one who hasn't really exerted his strength yet."
…
Everyone looked at Lin Chen, but unfortunately Lin Chen was not moved at all and acted extremely calm.
"Isn't he this kid?" Sima Feng said with a gloomy face, saying that he wanted to teach Lin Chen a lesson, but in fact he had no confidence at all in his heart, so he naturally hoped that Lin Chen would be dismissed.
Suddenly!
A clear voice resounded: "Come down and learn your Taoism!"
See you at first sight!
A tall, thin young man with a stern expression swept into the martial arts arena with a majestic air.
Jian Ling!
Ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he possesses the peak cultivation level of the eighth-level Golden Core Realm. It is said that he has comprehended the Dacheng Sword Intent and his swordsmanship is so profound that even Jian Tong would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with Jian Ling.
"It turned out to be a disciple of the Sword Sect. It seems that Minghai is in danger." Duandao said.
Lin Chen also felt that Jian Ling's strength was extraordinary, and said secretly: "Ming Hai's strength should be reserved, and the strength of this disciple of the Sword Sect is not simple. He should be able to force out his true strength."
"How could he be a disciple of the Jian Sect?" Mingyue was greatly disappointed, and she was not sure whether her eldest brother could defeat Jian Ling?
"I never expected that Senior Brother Minghai's opponent would be Senior Brother Jianling."
"Yes, sword cultivators have always restrained Tao cultivators. Because the swords of sword cultivators are very fast, extremely domineering and sharp, it is difficult to suppress strong sword cultivators with Taoism alone, especially those who are strong in swordsmanship like Senior Brother Jianling. .”
"It seems that the entire Hidden Dragon Festival will be dominated by the Sword Sect!"
"Don't jump to conclusions too early. Senior Brother Minghai can easily defeat Senior Brother Yunfei. He must be hiding his strength. Moreover, the two of them are ranked similarly and are evenly matched. It should be a fierce battle, right?"
…
Everyone discussed and analyzed, but most people didn't think much of Ming Hai.
Facing a strong sword cultivator, Ming Hai also looked solemn and said secretly: "It's Jian Ling. It seems like he's serious about it."
Jian Ling also carefully analyzed the battle process between Ming Hai and Yun Fei, and saw many flaws in it, so he was very confident.
Phew!~
The sword energy roared and cold light flashed.
The sword stood proudly with the sword behind him, and he said with domineering contempt: "Please enlighten me!"
"Please!" Ming Hai was as calm as ever, his eyes flickering and he looked at it indifferently.
Taoists rely most on Taoism, and their defenses are extremely fragile.
Jian Ling would not give Ming Hai a chance, and directly released his vast and powerful sword energy, rolling up the air currents in all directions, whistling vertically and horizontally, and condensing a stream of substantial sword energy.
"Ten Thousand Swords Array!"
Jian Ling held the sword secret with his hand, and thousands of swords took shape, filling the entire void.
"Disease!~"
The sword shouted sharply, and the strong and sharp sword energy filled the sky, like a hail of bullets, shooting out densely.
"The sea is boundless!"
Minghai shouted loudly, stirring up the vast rivers and seas.
"Under my sword formation, any Taoist magic is ineffective!" Jian Ling was disdainful, and the sword flew out quickly, splitting into countless sword lights, like a white snake spitting out a message, and fired at him with extremely ferocious attacks.
Facing such a fierce offensive, Ming Hai remained calm and composed, muttering something silently in his mouth and activating the Taoist formula.
"It can be recovered by covering it with water!"
Ming Hai's arms were like hugging the sea, and the sea embraced all rivers. The sword energy that came out one after another, when it broke into the waves, seemed to be absorbed by some powerful force. The strength was lost in the sea, and the sword energy was like was melted into it.
"What a powerful Taoist technique!"
"Sure enough, he is very capable, he can actually absorb sword energy!"
"I'm afraid you don't know that Senior Brother Minghai is the most potential Taoist wizard in the Taoist sect. He has mastered thousands of Taoist techniques and can use them freely and do whatever he wants."
…
Everyone exclaimed in shock, not expecting that Minghai could suppress them as soon as he took action.
"This technique is really amazing!" Lin Chen was also greatly surprised.
"You really have some ability." Jian Ling put away his contempt and took it seriously.
but!
Minghai's Taoist skills can not only absorb the sword energy, but his hands change all the time, activate the Taoist skills again, and shout: "Give it back to you!"
Boom!~
The violent waves surged, and the sword energy absorbed by them reappeared in an incredible way. It also gave the power of ice, instantly condensing the sword energy that filled the sky, and violently bombarded it back along with the ferocious waves.
Phew! Phew!~
The sword energy filled the sky with cold light, like a violent storm, sweeping towards Jian Ling in a mighty manner.
Jian Ling was doubly surprised. He didn't expect that Minghai's Taoist skills could transform his own sword energy. He snorted disdainfully: "No matter how powerful the Taoist skills are, they are just a show of force to me!"
Swish! Swish!~
The sword spirit turned into an afterimage, and ghosts wandered around, deftly dodging the attacks of the sword energy that filled the sky with ice.
Yes!
What Yun Fei did before was right. As long as he succeeded in getting up close, he could easily defeat Ming Hai, a piece of paper. However, Yun Fei's strength was far behind Jian Ling's.
But Jian Ling is different. As a strong swordsman, he has extremely strong restraint on Taoism.
