Because it is a two-by-two battle, there are fifteen numbers, and each number has two people. If it is divided into three stages, each stage only needs five battles.
When there were only ten people left in the prefecture-level arena, the referee spoke: "The battle for the No. 1 pick will begin immediately, and the others will leave first."
Zhou Xingzheng watched Xiao Yuqi go to the human level arena. After the referee finished speaking, he noticed that Wang Lei didn't move. Could it be...
After waiting for everyone except Zhou Xing and Wang Lei to leave, Wang Lei looked at Zhou Xing and was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a meaningful smile.
"Junior brother Zhou Xing, it seems that your luck is not very good!"
Zhou Xing smiled calmly: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's you, senior brother, who is unlucky!"
"Game start!"
Following the referee's order, Zhou Xing and Wang Lei both flashed in an instant, the light of metallic spiritual power and earth spiritual power lit up, and the two of them collided with each other in an instant.
"boom!"
Wang Lei watched Zhou Xing react quickly to block his fist, and the two were in a brief stalemate. He said close to Zhou Xing: "I didn't expect that junior brother's strength is as good as other disciples said, but it's a pity that you met me!"
After Wang Lei finished speaking, the two of them were forced away by each other's strength, but then they fought together again. Zhou Xing responded: "Senior brother, there's more than you can imagine!"
"Bang...bang..."
The two of them fought like this with fists and feet. The metal's attack power met the earth's defense. For a while, the two of them were evenly matched.
Next to the earth-level arena, Liu Rutian held a willow branch in his mouth and looked at the two people fighting each other on the field, with a glint in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Liu, who do you think will win this battle?" The disciple who was watching Zhou Xing's battle asked Liu Rutian.
Liu Rutian shook his head and smiled evilly: "It's really interesting. The winning numbers of these two are between 50 and 50. If I am optimistic about anyone, I will be more optimistic about Zhou Xing!"
"What……"
Not far away, Hui Yi and Fatty Jiang were all cheering for Zhou Xing. Fatty Jiang shouted with all his strength: "Brother, kill him!"
"boom!"
On the ring, after Zhou Xing and Wang Lei exchanged blows again, Wang Lei took the initiative to distance himself: "I didn't expect that not only is your spiritual power extraordinary, junior brother, but your spiritual power is also so strong!"
"I said, senior brother, there are still many things you can't think of!" Zhou Xing retorted unceremoniously.
"snort!"
Wang Lei snorted coldly, then he took out the sword he had put aside before, and slashed at Zhou Xing with a yellow sword energy. Zhou Xing also drew out the obsidian with his backhand, and chopped the sword energy into pieces with an axe.
"Xi You's first sword technique!"
Wang Lei held the sword and used the Xiyou Sword Technique, the unified sword technique of the Xiyou Sect, but Zhou Xing did not use Fiery Slash. He just relied on obsidian to resist Wang Lei's Xiyou Sword Technique.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
The sound of axes and swords clashing kept ringing, and Wang Lei's originally confident expression became a little solemn. He had never taken Zhou Xing seriously because Zhou Xing's realm was too low. He had just advanced to the first level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and he was already close to it.
He has reached the fourth level of the Soul Gathering Realm.
Wang Lei always thought that even if Zhou Xing could fight him for the time being, his spiritual power would definitely not be enough, so he confronted Zhou Xing head-on as soon as he came up, intending to use up Zhou Xing's spiritual power first, and then he would not let him control it.
It's a pity that Zhou Xing has not shown any signs of lack of spiritual power until now, so Wang Lei started to panic: "How can this kid's spiritual power be so strong? Am I really going to lose to this hateful kid? No! I'm not willing to do it!"
"
Wang Lei cursed secretly in his heart while attacking Zhou Xing regardless of the consumption of spiritual power.
Ax Ancestor once said that although Zhou Xing is only at the first level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, because he has a Chaos Divine Body and has practiced the Chaos Ax Sutra, the Nine Turns Body Forging Technique and other powerful techniques, his spiritual power is as strong as the fourth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
, so it is undoubtedly a foolish dream for Wang Lei to defeat him mainly through consumption.
"Huhu..."
While Wang Lei was attacking, he also felt that his spiritual energy was consumed too much, and he began to breathe heavily. Although Zhou Xing seemed to have consumed a lot of energy, Wang Lei was too unwilling to do so.
"In that case, the second form of Xi You's sword technique!"
Wang Lei suddenly shouted loudly, and then he came at him with his sword again, but this time his sword technique was much more powerful, and Zhou Xing did not dare to neglect him again.
"Fire Slash!"
The two of them had another duel of moves, and ended up evenly matched. Zhou Xing was also stunned. He didn't expect that the second move of Xi You's sword technique was so powerful, and could even compete with his own Xuan-level high-grade spiritual skills.
Up and down.
Zhou Xing was shocked, but Wang Lei was even more shocked. He knew that the second move of Xi You's sword technique was his second trump card, but he still had no way to defeat Zhou Xing. Was he going to use the last move?
Wang Lei looked at Zhou Xing and was very confused. If Zhou Xing took the last move again, he would no longer be able to resist, because he only had enough spiritual power to use the last move.
"Fight!"
Wang Lei gritted his teeth and began to hold the sword with both hands. A thick aura and a large amount of earth-attribute spiritual power condensed on his sword.
Zhou Xing also had a solemn expression when he saw this. He could feel that the power of Wang Lei's swordsmanship and spiritual skills was absolutely extraordinary. He did not dare to overdo it and began to charge up the Fire Slash with all his strength.
"Open Mountain Sword Technique!"
"Fire Slash!"
"boom!"
The sound of spiritual power explosion sounded at the place where Zhou Xing and Wang Lei were fighting. The disciples watching the battle saw that both of them were knocked away. However, although Zhou Xing's face was a little pale after landing, he still held the obsidian tightly in his right hand, looking ready.
The way your hair looks.
Wang Lei was different. He was thrown heavily onto the ring. He struggled to get up and looked at Zhou Xing with a look of disbelief on his face. A trace of blood slowly flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
"you you…"
Now Wang Lei looked at Zhou Xing and couldn't say a word, but Zhou Xing smiled: "Brother, it seems that you are the one who is unlucky!"
"Pfft..."
Wang Lei was so angry at Zhou Xing's words that he vomited blood on the spot. Then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked off the ring without saying a word.
"Zhou Xingsheng!"
"Zhou Xing...Zhou Xing..."
"Oh! Zhou Xing, I love you..."
As the referee announced Zhou Xing's victory, there were cheers from the audience. Some people even expressed their love to Zhou Xing, which scared Zhou Xing and hurried to the rest area.
"Good boy, when did you master Fiery Slash to a great level?" Ax Ancestor's voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Xing's eyes also showed surprise when he heard this: "I have to thank the fire spirit fruit for this! It turns out that it can not only enhance the attribute power, but also deepen my understanding of fire attribute spiritual skills!"
"I see!"
After Zhou Xing received a Spirit Gathering Pill from the referee, he quietly began to recover the consumed spiritual energy in the rest area, but Wang Lei was nowhere to be seen. Apparently he had no face to stay here because he lost to Zhou Xing.
.
"Senior Brother Liu, you really know things well!"
"Haha... It's just that Wang Lei is stupid. He actually wants to win by consuming the opponent's spiritual power. He doesn't think about it. Since Zhou Xing dares to play with him, is he still afraid of his move?"
Liu Rutian admired Zhou Xing more and more. Zhou Xing's talent was quite terrifying. He had a hunch that Zhou Xing would catch up with him or even surpass him sooner or later.
There were only five battles in each of the three arenas, so it ended quite quickly. After all the battles were over, Zhou Xing was back to full condition.
"Zhou Xing, are you okay? I just saw you and Wang Lei fighting!" Xiao Yuqi asked about Zhou Xing's situation as soon as she came over.
Zhou Xing shook his head and smiled: "Fortunately, I won by luck. Senior Sister Yuqi, you should also win!"
"Well, luckily we met a weaker opponent. Okay, the drawing will begin soon. Let's go over."
Then they both walked to the prefecture-level arena and started drawing lots. Zhou Xing randomly picked up a wooden lot from the referee.
"Now, the 1st, 23rd and 3rd numbers will fight in the prefecture-level arena, the 4th and 5th numbers will fight in the heaven-level arena, and the 6th and 7th numbers will fight in the human-level arena. In this round, one person with a bye will be directly promoted to the top eight, and the person with a bye, Zhou Xing.
"
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, that was fine. He turned over the wooden lot and found that the back was blank. This reminded him of the lottery in Lingcheng...
"I didn't expect that Wang Lei would meet Zhou Xing when he was thirty to fifteen, and he would lose. It's really unexpected!"
"Indeed, but Zhou Xing has defeated Shi Yu before, and it is not a big deal to defeat Wang Lei again."
"How far do you think Zhou Xing, a junior at the first level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, will go in the end?"
"This junior brother is very talented and powerful. Maybe he will bring more surprises..."
Zhou Xing was watching the game in the rest area, listening to the comments from the audience. He also heard many people talking about him, but his heart was calm and uncomplicated.
Zhou Xing is now focusing on Xiao Yuqi's battle. She happened to be assigned to the first one in the prefecture-level arena this time. Her opponent is a disciple close to the third level of the Spirit Gathering Realm. As long as she holds steady, she will basically not lose.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuqi played steadily and defeated her opponent before long, successfully advancing to the top eight. Xiao Yuqi, who successfully advanced, jumped towards Zhou Xing as happily as a rabbit.
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Yu Qi for advancing to the top eight!" Zhou Xing took the lead and said.
Xiao Yuqi was secretly happy when she heard this, but on the surface she was still reserved and said softly: "No, I'm just lucky. I met the only remaining disciple of the second level of the Spirit Gathering Realm."
"Uh... Then I am at the first level of the Soul Gathering Realm, and if I draw a blank lot, wouldn't it mean that I am useless?"
"No, I didn't mean that..."
The two Zhou Xing were chatting happily here, but the battle situation in the arena was getting anxious, because now the remaining disciples were all disciples of the third level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and their strength was not much different, so the competition became more time-consuming.
Zhou Xing and Xiao Yuqi were talking and laughing while watching the game. It took more than an hour to completely complete the game.
"Okay, now the seven eliminated people will go to the human-level arena to compete for the ninth and tenth rankings! The rest will continue to draw lots, and the top four will be determined by two battles in the heaven-level arena and the earth-level arena."
After the referee finished speaking, the seven eliminated people walked towards the human level arena. They all couldn't hide their sense of loss on their faces, but some showed firm expressions, obviously wanting to win the last two top ten places.
Zhou Xing took the wooden lot and saw that it was number 4. Then he probably had to go to the heaven-level arena area. After waiting for the others to draw lots, the referee indeed arranged for the four people who had drawn numbers 1 to 2 to draw in the earth-level arena.
The four people with numbers 3 to 4 are in the heaven-level arena.
When Zhou Xing walked to the heaven-level arena, he found that Xiao Yuqi was also going to the heaven-level arena, and the other two were Tian Feng and a third-level disciple of the Spirit Gathering Realm named Zhou Jie.
Xiao Yuqi also discovered that Zhou Xing was also going to the heaven-level arena. She hurried over and said, "Zhou Xing! You go there too. What lottery number did you draw?"
"Well, Senior Sister Yuqi, I got the No. 4 lottery."
"What! Me too..."
Xiao Yuqi's face changed. Zhou Xing never expected that the two of them would become rivals this time. Zhou Xing smiled casually: "It's okay, we just try our best."
After the two arrived at the heaven-level arena, Tian Feng and Zhou Jie fought first, and Zhou Xing began to carefully observe Tian Feng's battle.
When the game started, Zhou Jie was obviously under pressure, but at this point he was unwilling to admit defeat directly, so he gritted his teeth and charged towards Tian Feng with his sword.
Tian Feng smiled evilly, flashed and then disappeared. Zhou Jie's face changed after he lost his target. He quickly stopped his hand and used all his spiritual power to protect his body before looking for Tian Feng, but Tian Feng seemed to have completely disappeared.
Same thing.
Zhou Xing in the audience had no clue at first, but after Zhou Jie turned around a few times, Zhou Xing stared at the motionless shadow beside him with a look of surprise.
"call out!"
Just as Zhou Jie was looking around cautiously, a sword energy came from his side. His face changed slightly and he quickly swung his sword to block it.
"Senior Brother Tian Feng's fighting style is still as weird as ever!"
"Yes, no matter how we look at it, we don't know what the flaws are in the technique he learned..."
The watching disciples under the ring were all amazed when they saw Tian Feng's elusiveness. Zhou Xing, on the other hand, looked thoughtful. He was now also curious about the techniques Tian Feng practiced.
"Zhou Xing, have you seen what kind of skills Tian Feng is practicing?" Xiao Yuqi suddenly asked from the side.
Zhou Xing was stunned: "How can I tell? It's just that his fighting method is really weird. I need to observe more. But his battles are often quick and quick, and there is no extra research time. If Senior Sister Yu Qi
You must be careful when dealing with him."
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, Zhou Jie was overwhelmed by Tian Feng's elusive fighting style. After a while, Tian Feng found a flaw and knocked him off the ring with one blow.
"Tian Fengsheng!"
"Senior Brother Tian Feng is mighty..."
When the referee announced Tian Feng Wan as the winner, waves of cheers for Tian Feng rang out from the ring, while Tian Feng silently walked off the ring.
Next, Zhou Xing and Zhou Xing looked at each other and then walked towards the ring. The disciples watching the battle looked at Zhou Xing and Zhou Xing with expectant expressions.
But just when the referee was about to announce the start of the game, Xiao Yuqi said first: "I surrender!"
This scene not only stunned the watching disciples and referees, but also Zhou Xing was a little unable to react: "Senior Sister Yuqi, you don't have to be like this, why don't we have a good fight?"
"No need, your ability to defeat Wang Lei means that you can also defeat me. There is no need for us to waste time. I might as well prepare for the next battle! Besides..."
After Xiao Yuqi finished speaking, she glanced at Tian Feng. Zhou Xing thought that Xiao Yuqi wanted him to prepare well for the battle with Tian Feng, or that she didn't want Tian Feng to know too much about Zhou Xing's fighting methods.
