Not only the disciples at the scene were shocked, but also the elders on the viewing platform were full of surprise.
"A third-grade innate person actually defeated a fifth-grade innate person?" Lu Changlin, the elder of Shaoyang Peak's outer sect, said with a surprised look on his face. Xia Xiaomei is his disciple, so he knows Xia Xiaomei's situation very well. Xia Xiaomei has a dual-attribute physique.
One is ice attribute, the other is earth attribute. She is considered a very talented disciple in Shaoyang Peak. She has already reached the fifth level of innate cultivation before she was thirty years old. Not only is she talented in cultivation, she is also very smart and smart. She is very popular with Lu Changlin.
of love.
Originally, Lu Changlin had great expectations for Xia Xiaomei, thinking that Xia Xiaomei had great hope of entering the top ten, but before the knockout round was over... he was defeated by an unknown third-level innate disciple.
I can’t believe it, I really can’t believe it!
"The martial arts used by Xia Xiaomei are very powerful. An ice martial skill and an earth martial skill are both powerful. However, the martial arts used by Ma Xiaoyao are even more powerful. A fire martial skill destroyed Xia Xiaomei's ice martial skill, and then he used a fire martial skill.
The martial arts skills broke through Xia Xiaomei's earth martial arts, one thing fell against another, the battle process was very exciting." Lu Kun, the elder of Daling Peak's outer sect, secretly praised: "Xia Xiaomei is good, but that Ma Xiaoyao is even better."
"Well, that Ma Xiaoyao is indeed a talent." The other outer sect elders nodded. They noticed Ma Xiaoyao yesterday, but they didn't expect Ma Xiaoyao to give them another surprise today.
Zhuang Zizai was the only one who frowned and remained silent.
"Elder Zhuang, why don't you speak? Ma Xiaoyao is a disciple of Ziyun Peak, so you should have the most say." Lu Kun glanced at Zhuang Zizai, who was frowning and silent, and said with a smile.
"What do you want me to say?" Zhuang Zizai asked.
"Um... just tell me your evaluation of Ma Xiaoyao..." Lu Kun thought for a while and said.
"Evaluation?" Zhuang Zizai smiled: "As I said yesterday, Ma Xiaoyao has a five-attribute physique. No matter how amazing his performance is in this martial arts competition, he will not have high achievements in the future."
"Is it really a five-attribute constitution? You can't be mistaken, right?"
"How could I get this wrong?"
"But why do I feel...that Ma Xiaoyao is not simple?"
"Maybe it's his temperament! He may have experienced a lot of things before, so he appears to be particularly mature and calm. Compared with other disciples, he stands out." Zhuang Zizai said.
"Well, I agree with this statement." Lu Changlin nodded.
"Okay, stop talking about it, hurry up and watch the competition, pay attention to the No. 1 arena, the two disciples on it are very good." Yang Gongde, the elder of Chaotian Peak's outer sect, waved his hand.
Everyone looked up at Arena No. 1, where two men were fighting fiercely, looking very powerful.
…
Three days passed in a flash.
The knockout round was finally over, and the twenty winning disciples competed in the finals. Ma Xiaoyao was among them, and he was the one with the lowest cultivation level. He stood out in the crowd and stood out.
In the knockout round, Ma Xiaoyao faced a total of five opponents, the most difficult of which was Shaoyang Peak disciple Xia Xiaomei. The remaining four opponents did not put much pressure on Ma Xiaoyao.
It is rare in the history of the Kunwu Sect to participate in the finals with a third-level innate cultivation level.
In just a few days, Ma Xiaoyao's name has been remembered by many people. People who don't know the inside story think that Ma Xiaoyao is a rare cultivation genius.
There were two disciples from Ziyun Peak participating in the finals, one was Ma Xiaoyao and the other was Gu Tianhai. Gu Tianhai was indeed Zhuang Zizai's proud disciple. He easily defeated many opponents and entered the finals with ease.
Zhuang Zizai bought a sumptuous banquet tonight to celebrate Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Tianhai. Ziyun Peak suddenly had two disciples enter the finals, which made Zhuang Zizai's face very bright.
When they reach the level of cultivation like Zhuang Zizai, the most important thing they care about is face.
Zhuang Zizai was in a good mood today and made an exception to allow Zhuang Xiaorou to attend the banquet. However, Zhuang Xiaorou deliberately kept a straight face and ignored Zhuang Zizai. She was still in her twenties and acted like a child.
"Come on, come on, don't be polite, just feel free to eat and drink." Zhuang Zizai greeted: "Try this fish, I cooked it myself. It's very delicious. And those
The lobster also tastes delicious... The most important thing is this bottle of wine, which I have treasured for decades. I usually can't bear to take a sip, but today you are in luck."
Ma Xiaoyao behaved quite well, eating and drinking in small sips, and did not dare to be rude in front of Zhuang Zizai. He was an elder, but he was just a low-class disciple, and he had no capital to be arrogant.
Compared with Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Tianhai is slightly stronger. After all, he is Zhuang Zizai's disciple and has a lot of contact with him, so he can let go.
"Xiaoyao, according to my observations in the past few days, I found that you have learned a lot of martial arts?" Zhuang Zizai asked casually.
"Well, I have learned seven martial arts in total." Ma Xiaoyao said honestly.
"Seven? That's quite a lot." Zhuang Zizai smiled and said, "I'm very curious about one thing. If I'm not mistaken, you should be at the third level of innate cultivation now, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"If I remember correctly, you entered the innate realm a few months ago." Zhuang Zizai picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly: "You have been promoted from the first-level innate to the third-level innate in a few months. Your cultivation speed is really fast.
of."
"Elder Zhuang deserves the award. I am just lucky."
"Is it just good luck? Is there no other reason?"
"Ah? I don't quite understand what Elder Zhuang means..."
Zhuang Zizai took a deep look at Ma Xiaoyao: "Everyone has their own secret. Since you don't want to tell it, I won't force it."
"Elder Zhuang, you really misunderstood..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to explain, but was interrupted by Zhuang Zizai.
"Okay, let's not mention this anymore. Let's drink, drink." Zhuang Zizai passed the wine glass forward: "Come on, everyone, pick up the wine glasses and drink one together!"
Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Tianhai hurriedly picked up the wine glasses, touched Zhuang Zizai lightly, then raised their necks and poured the entire glass of wine into their mouths.
The banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Tianhai took the initiative to clean up the mess, removed the table, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and then mopped the floor. After doing all this, they left Zhuang Zizai's residence.
The wind at night is cool, and it makes people's faces feel numb.
"Ma Xiaoyao, you surprised me." Gu Tianhai suddenly said: "I was surprised that you entered the innate realm, I was surprised that you defeated Xia Xiaomei, and I was even more surprised that you entered the finals. I found...I am now
I can't see through you anymore."
"Senior Brother Gu, you deserve the prize." Ma Xiaoyao smiled faintly: "It was all a fluke that I could enter the innate realm, defeat Xia Xiaomei, and enter the finals."
"Is it really just a fluke?" Gu Tianhai took a deep look at Ma Xiaoyao: "Have you ever thought that we would compete on the same stage?"
"Ah?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "This... I really haven't thought about it..."
"Then think about it now, think about it carefully." Gu Tianhai said confidently: "Ma Xiaoyao, although you have two skills, it is absolutely impossible to beat me. Your best results are also
Just to enter the top ten, and I..." At this point, Gu Tianhai straightened his back and exuded a heart-stopping momentum: "I want to win the first place! The first place must belong to me!"
Ma Xiaoyao smiled and nodded: "I wish senior brother Gu can make his dream come true."
"Xiong Datou is your friend, right?" Gu Tianhai's face suddenly darkened: "Go back and tell Xiong Datou so that he can be self-aware and stop pestering Junior Sister Zhuang. If not, I will make him pay a heavy price."
With these words, Gu Tianhai raised his head and left with his hands behind his back.
"You have to be the first?" Looking at Gu Tianhai's leaving figure, Ma Xiaoyao slowly raised the corner of his mouth: "With me here, your wish is destined to not come true."
A few months ago, when Ma Xiaoyao was still a Houtian warrior, he had no power to fight back against Gu Tianhai, but now... Gu Tianhai's threat to Ma Xiaoyao is almost negligible.
Gu Tianhai is an eighth-level Xiantian, five levels higher than Ma Xiaoyao, but Ma Xiaoyao has no fear at all. He will use facts to prove that even a third-level Xiantian can defeat an eighth-level Xiantian.
This is not arrogance, this is confidence!
…
The night passed quickly, and dawn slowly dominated the earth.
The day of the finals has finally arrived.
The weather is beautiful today, the sun is shining brightly, and there are no clouds in the sky. It is a rare good weather.
Ma Xiaoyao arrived at the competition site early in the morning, and then sat in the rest area and slowly adjusted his breath. Today was the final, and he must maintain the most abundant physical strength.
"Dong dong dong..."
A beautiful bell rang, and then seventeen outer sect elders appeared one after another.
Zhuang Zizai was still presiding over the conference today. He stood on the viewing platform, glanced at the thousands of disciples below, and shouted loudly: "The finals have begun, and twenty contestants are invited to come on stage to compete!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Twenty figures jumped up from the crowd and stood on the ring as fast as they could.
Ma Xiaoyao stood on the third ring. His opponent was a handsome young man with his hair tied up high and his eyes flashing with light. He put his hands behind his back and stood on the ring. His body naturally showed a certain aura.
Momentum, Ma Xiaoyao nodded secretly, this is a master, a master who is difficult to deal with.
"I am Cheng Jigang, a disciple of Jin Daofeng." The young man said sonorously.
"I'm dismounting Xiaoyao. I'm a disciple of Ziyun Peak." Ma Xiaoyao clasped his fists at the young man and said, "Senior brother, please give me some advice!"
"It's better you take action first." Cheng Jigang said calmly: "If I take action first, you won't have a chance to do it."
