The oval-shaped grandstand can accommodate no more than five thousand people. At this time, almost all the disciples of Fuyun Peak are here, and of course the peak master of Fuyun Peak and a group of elders and deacons are here.
The selection for the essence-receiving stage and the acupoint-charging stage has been finalized. Now, almost all Luoxiamen monks in Fuyun Peak, unless they are in retreat, have arrived at the competition arena. The entire stand is actually packed. Naturally,
There were also monks from other four peaks who came to find out.
In the stands, there is a VIP area separated by screens. There are about a hundred seats in it, and it is also full of seats. The master of Fuyun Peak and Elder Li are among them.
When his eyes glanced at Zheng Chen, Elder Li nodded slightly. If Zheng Chen was called to participate in the competition this time, Elder Li must have manipulated it.
Less than a tea time after Zheng Chen arrived, the master of Fuyun Peak, dressed in a blue brocade robe, stood up from his seat in the VIP area and said loudly: "Everyone, the selection horse for the Soul Gathering Period will be held soon.
Before I begin, I would like to remind the Fuyun Peak disciples participating in the selection that although swordsmanship and magic are blind, try not to cause casualties. Everything must be based on discussion and consultation. Of course, if you know you are invincible, you can also
Don’t show off, after all, there is a risk of being killed in a fight. Being knocked out of the fighting stone platform is a loss, losing combat power is a loss, and death...is also a loss!"
Speaking of this, the Peak Master looked around for a week and saw that many disciples could no longer wait. He smiled slightly, waved his sleeves and said: "Because there are too many people signing up for the competition, it will take too long to compete one by one, so
After discussing with several elders, I decided that there would be no need for the traditional knockout rounds, but a direct decisive battle. All the disciples in the spirit-gathering stage who participated in the selection would enter the competition stone platform, and then engage in a melee until there were nine disciples left in the field. Everyone.
Did you hear everything clearly? Well, let the competition begin. Remember, the elders are watching. Anyone who intentionally kills will not only be disqualified, but will also be severely punished by the sect!"
After finishing speaking, the peak master waved his hand, and then several elders flew out and stood on the four sides of the fighting stone platform. These elders all have cultivation levels that are not weaker than those in the early stage of Jindan, but because they are not in
Those who broke through to the Golden Core stage before the age of fifty are not qualified to enter the inner sect, so they stay in the outer sect and serve as elders of each peak.
"All the disciples in the spirit-gathering stage of Fuyun Peak who participate in the selection competition will enter the stone fighting platform!"
After several elders stood still, Elder Li, who was sitting with the peak master, also stood up and spoke loudly.
As Elder Li's voice fell, figures one after another rose up from all directions and landed on the stone platform. Zheng Chen was no exception, but he just walked slowly up the stone platform and did not jump up with all his strength.
.
On the stone platform, Zheng Chen looked at his fellow disciples around him, with a wry smile on his lips. Although those fellow disciples, like himself, were all at the Spirit Gathering Stage, they had many brothers of the same master, and Zheng Chen came from
Yu Geshan sect, but he is the only one under Geshan sect now. In the past, Zheng Chen had always kept a low profile due to several failed attacks at the Soul Gathering Stage. He was often ridiculed by his fellow disciples and did not move around with other disciples of Fuyun Peak, so he could almost be said to be a disciple.
No friends, just alone.
Others formed gangs, but Zheng Chen could only fight alone, which was obviously at a disadvantage. The peak master's lineage had the most disciples. At this time, a group had formed, with nearly ten people. Other small groups also
Most of them are more than three people.
There are currently less than a hundred people on the fighting stone platform, including more than thirty late-stage Spirit-Gathering disciples, more than fifty mid-stage Spirit-Gathering disciples, and a dozen early-stage Spirit-Gathering disciples.
If the monks in the middle stage of Juling have stable cultivation and stronger methods, it is not impossible to defeat the monks in the late stage of Juling. However, it is extremely difficult for the early stage monks to defeat the late stage monks unless they have powerful magic weapons. Therefore, almost all
All the disciples from the late stage of Gathering Spirits came to participate in the selection, but not many disciples from the early stage of Gathering Spirits came.
This way of playing is a bit unfair. However, the rules were set by the peak master and several elders, and Zheng Chen couldn't argue with them. The disciples in the stands didn't care about the unfair rules at all. They were just waiting to watch.
A fierce and exciting game, and a game with such rules is what they most want to see.
Zheng Chen originally wanted to find a small group to join. After all, it was too difficult to fight alone and persist until the end. But when he glanced at those small groups, no one was willing to pay attention to him. After all, he only had Ju Ling on the surface.
Initial cultivation.
"I'm afraid that most of the nine places this time will be taken up by the Peak Master's lineage." Zheng Chen looked at the disciples of the Peak Master's lineage who were ready to go, and then looked at the smiling faces.
The peak master thought helplessly.
"The Fuyun Peak Trials have officially begun!"
Elder Li gave a soft drink from the VIP stand, and at the same time an exciting bell sounded.
The melee began, and at the moment when the bell rang, nearly a hundred disciples in the spirit-gathering stage on the fighting stone platform launched their attacks at the same time, one after another attacking the target they had already aimed at.
Zheng Chen originally had the idea of sitting aside and watching silently, but unfortunately, the fate did not go as expected. The large group headed by the peak master's lineage actually began to expel the scattered disciples in a tacit understanding.
The so-called scattered fellow disciples are those who are alone like Zheng Chen, and there are also weak combinations of two and three people. However, since Zheng Chen only showed the aura fluctuations in the early stage of gathering souls, those powerful ones
The group will not take him seriously.
However, there was a group of four people. Because they were closer to Zheng Chen, they pounced on Zheng Chen. At this time, the game had only started for less than twenty seconds, but there were already more than twenty people.
He was ruthlessly kicked off the competition stone platform.
Among the four people who pounced on Zheng Chen, only one was in the late stage of Juling. The other three were two in the middle stage of Juling and one in the early stage of Juling. Their strength was no weaker than the two late stage disciples.
"I don't know if you think highly of me or if you think I'm a soft persimmon?" Zheng Chen silently took out the second-grade low-level spiritual sword, which looked like blossoming sword flowers like flames, feeling happy and unafraid.
When the four fellow students who rushed over saw the spirit sword in Zheng Chen's hand, they all showed a look of envy in their eyes. After all, it is difficult for disciples in the spirit gathering stage to obtain a second-grade spirit sword, even though it is only a low-level one.
Although there are many people fighting in the spirit-gathering stage monks, they cannot create such an amazing scene. After all, they cannot arouse the power of heaven and earth, let alone drive powerful magic weapons. However, those equally powerful spiritual talismans and talismans can
It is not allowed to fight in this kind of competition.
The four of them were quite cautious and did not send anyone to fight Zheng Chen alone. Instead, they stood on all four sides of Zheng Chen, surrounding Zheng Chen in the middle. Following the late-stage Spirit Gathering disciple was carrying a handful of first-grade high-level spirits.
The sword stabbed at Zheng Chen's shoulder, the movement was steady and fast, and the edge of the spiritual sword actually bloomed with a sword light that was more than a foot long.
The other three monks also came up together, waving the weapons in their hands and attacking Zheng Chen's body.
Zheng Chen didn't move at first, but when the disciple in the late stage of Gathering Spirits used his strength firmly and could no longer change his moves, he immediately turned sideways, and the second-grade low-level spiritual sword in his hand blocked the opponent's first-level high-level spiritual sword.
The arm that was not holding the sword was bent, and its elbow struck the opponent's chest hard.
The disciple in the late stage of Gathering Spirits did not react slowly. He used his palm that was not holding the sword to slap Zheng Chen's elbow.
Zheng Chen did not expect to be able to subdue the opponent with such a simple counterattack. He just used the power of the opponent's palm to retreat suddenly and dodge the attacks of the other three Spirit Gathering Stage disciples in an instant.
"good!"
In the stands close to Zheng Chen, someone might have seen what was happening on the court and actually clapped their hands and cheered.
On the surface, Zheng Chen only had the initial cultivation level of the Soul Gathering Stage, but he calmly defused the attacks of the four Soul Gathering Stage disciples without being sloppy at all, just like a fighting veteran who had been messing around in the Spirit Gathering Stage for many years. Although
He was forced to retreat, but he seemed to be able to do so with ease.
Being dodged by the other party so easily, the four Spirit-Gathering Stage monks looked not good-looking, especially the late-stage Spirit-Gathering Stage monk. There was a bit of ruthlessness in his expression, and the sword glow of the first-grade high-level spiritual sword in his hand was actually very long.
Half a foot.
Zheng Chen did not give the opponent another chance to surround him. The small metasequoia tree trembled slightly in the acupuncture points, and a stream of pure wood spiritual power went straight into his veins. The aura of his whole body suddenly climbed to the late stage of gathering spirits.
, the second-grade low-level spiritual sword in his hand instantly bloomed with a sword light nearly ten feet long.
drink!!
Zheng Chen gave a low shout, swung the spirit sword in his hand, and fought hard with the first-grade high-level spirit sword of the late-stage spirit-gathering monk. As a sharp sound of metal clashing came out, the late-stage spirit-gathering monk's hand
The light of the spiritual sword dissipated in an instant, and the monk himself was knocked back three steps.
Immediately following, Zheng Chen did not stop. After his skill surged, his speed became much faster. In a few moments, he swept two middle-level Soul Gathering fellows and an early-level Soul Gathering fellow student off the stage. Then, Zheng Chen
He was even more merciless. Although his momentum was comparable to that of his late-stage Soul Gathering sect, with the advantage of the grade of the spirit sword in his hand, within twenty moves, he almost overwhelmingly kicked the opponent out of the duel.
Stone platform.
The proud figure and the devastating battle process are shocking!
Zheng Chen, who had repeatedly failed to attack the Soul Gathering Stage in the past and was praised as a waste by countless fellow disciples, is now showing his talents for the first time.
"Late gathering spirit stage!"
The four monks who were kicked off the stage by Zheng Chen were shocked at the same time. Even the Fuyun Peak disciples in the stands were a little surprised.
"Why does that guy look familiar?"
"Of course he looks familiar. If I'm not mistaken, he is the Zheng Chen who entered the Spirit Gathering Tower four times but failed every time to attack the Spirit Gathering Stage. He is also the loser that everyone calls him."
"How is that possible? I remember it hasn't been long since the last time he entered the Spirit Gathering Tower!"
"It's really strange. The last time this guy entered the Spirit Gathering Tower, he didn't attack the Spirit Gathering Stage. Even though he was not affected by the failure to attack the Spirit Gathering Stage, at that time he only had the strength of the late Acupoint Rushing Stage. How could he be so powerful now?
What about Yu’s momentum in the later stages of Juling?”
"Haha, this is not simple. You don't know the origin of this guy. His parents were masters of the inner sect at the immortal level. Although they have fallen, they must have left him a lot of miraculous medicines."
"Tsk tsk! The elixir left by the masters in the Immortal Stage can indeed allow a late-stage monk to directly advance to the late-stage Spirit Gathering Stage."
"It's just relying on the shadow of the elders. If he doesn't have the treasure left by his parents, I can crush him to death with one finger!"
"Indeed, if you look at the second-grade spiritual sword in his hand, I'm afraid it is one of his parents' treasures."
…
For a while, those outer disciples who knew Zheng Chen spoke out one after another, but there were not many words of praise, and some were just disdain of "sour grapes".
In the VIP stand, the master of Fuyun Peak, who had been smiling all the time, frowned slightly after seeing Zheng Chen's performance, his eyes flashed with light, and his tyrannical spiritual consciousness swept towards Zheng Chen in the field.
Unable to completely see through the other party's true identity, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. After glancing at the calm-looking Elder Li next to him, he said calmly: "It's good that he is Shen Bing's son. He does have some skills."
