Zheng Mingqi looked at the young disciples on the square with a smile. As usual, he summarized the first half of the competition, encouraged the remaining and eliminated disciples with a few words, and then signaled the drawing of lots to begin.
This time, lots were drawn according to the order of the last grouping. Both Xuanjie and Huangjie had a total of sixty-four numbers. The person who drew adjacent numbers still became the opponent.
Soon the results of the lottery came out. To everyone's surprise, Liu Mengyan's first opponent turned out to be Xu Ziliang! After hearing the news, except for Zhou Feng'er and a few other people who were jealous of Liu Mengyan, many people who admired Liu Mengyan were secretly happy.
Mengyan's male disciples all felt very disappointed. They all said that Xu Ziliang was the first person below the Xuan level. Liu Mengyan basically had no chance of winning against him. Xu Ziliang defeated Liu Mengyan.
Aren’t we going to see Liu Mengyan compete on stage?
For a time, I don’t know how many malicious eyes were cast on Xu Ziliang. Unfortunately, the rules of the Tiandao Sect are very strict, and now is an important time for the sect competition. No one dares to cause trouble. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people would want to
We have to use secret means to prevent Xu Ziliang from getting on stage.
Even Xu Ziran, who is psychologically inclined to Xu Ziliang, couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart, what kind of bad lottery did his brother draw? How come he was chosen to be in the same group as Junior Sister Liu? And this was the first game? In other words,
Junior sister Liu can't even make it into the top thirty-two! Xu Ziran is even secretly worried,
After Junior Sister Liu lost to Xu Ziliang, wouldn't she be angry with herself? Xu Ziliang himself was a little surprised. After being surprised, he was secretly happy. Anyway, he would eventually run into Liu Mengyan. It doesn't matter if he met her earlier. Liu Mengyan
He is already a core disciple, so losing the competition will not affect anything. It’s better to be like this now, he can talk to her about the past earlier
, maybe we can make a date early or something...
…
The drawing of lots was held in the evening, and the competition would not resume until the next day. This arrangement was also to allow the disciples who would participate in the competition to have more time to prepare.
After deciding on his opponent, Xu Ziliang was called back early by Zheng Mingqi just like the previous few days, while Liu Mengyan, Deng Yujie and others went to the residence of master Ding Ruoyun.
Ding Ruoyun also knew the result of the draw a long time ago, and comforted: "It doesn't matter Mengyan, just fight as hard as you can. Xu Ziliang has practiced so many years earlier than you, and he has already reached the peak of the ninth level of Huangjie. It is not shameful for you to lose to him!"
Liu Mengyan nodded, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, do I really have no chance of winning?"
"It's not like there's no chance at all..." Ding Ruoyun said with a smile, "According to your master, if Xu Ziliang himself makes a mistake in the ring, if you can seize the opportunity, it is still possible to beat him."
"What if he didn't make a mistake?" Liu Mengyan asked. "If he didn't make a mistake, it would be difficult for you to win..." Seeing Liu Mengyan's unconvinced expression, Ding Ruoyun smiled and explained, "He
I have been practicing for much longer than you, and I have also gone to the Monster Forest to practice, and I have more fighting experience than you... Unless you can play horizontally, it will be difficult.
Find a chance to beat him."
"Oh..." Liu Mengyan pouted and nodded, and stopped talking. Liu Mengyan also had a strong temper. Even if she lost to Xu Ziliang, it was not embarrassing, but she still didn't want to lose.
The master and apprentice talked for a while. Ding Ruoyun thought that Liu Mengyan was participating in the competition for the first time, and was about to enter the top 32, but she was drawn by such a lottery, and she would definitely not be in a good mood, so she went early
He asked the disciples to disperse and go back to rest.
…
While Ding Ruoyun and master and disciple Liu Mengyan were talking, on the main peak of Daoyan Mountain, master and disciple Situ Chenghua and Zheng Mingqi were also talking.
The sect competition is a major event for Tiandao Sect. As the supreme leader, Situ Chenghua, although he did not personally appear, was also very concerned about the progress of the competition.
At this time, he already knew the results of today's draw, especially knowing that Liu Mengyan's next opponent was Xu Ziliang, so he specially called Zheng Mingqi to his residence.
"Mingqi, that disciple named Xu Ziliang has been by your side these past two years, right?"
"Yes, master, Xu Ziliang has been with his disciple these two years." Zheng Mingqi bowed and replied.
"What do you think of him?" Situ Chenghua asked slowly. Zheng Mingqi knew what Situ Chenghua was asking and hurriedly replied: "Xu Ziliang has been practicing in seclusion for the past two years. I didn't let him go out.
Zi Ran came to see him. Apart from Zi Ran, he rarely had contact with other people, and he never said anything about Liu Mengyan, not even to Zi Ran.
Pass."
Situ Chenghua nodded with satisfaction, "You still have to be more careful. I heard that his opponent tomorrow will be Liu Mengyan?"
"Yes! I told him again before this competition that he should not dare to speak nonsense. If you are worried, Master, I will go back and warn him again today."
"No need..." Situ Chenghua waved his hand, "Since you have already warned him, it's okay. Saying too much will make him suspicious." "Yes, Master is still thoughtful..." Zheng Mingqi smiled.
Said, "Then Liu Mengyan is indeed a genius in cultivation. I specially let people watch every competition of hers. Her progress is indeed very fast. I thought she could get at least the top eight! It's a pity that the draw is so bad this time.
I met Xu Ziliang a long time ago,
If you don't make it into the top 32, you will be eliminated. This is really bad luck!"
"You can't say that..." Situ Chenghua said with a smile, "As an ordinary person who was discovered by our Tiandao Sect and brought back to practice, her luck should be said to be quite good! Although the draw today was not good,
, but there may not be any hope of winning!”
"Oh? Master, do you think she can beat Xu Ziliang?" Zheng Mingqi said in surprise, "Ziliang's skills are not inferior to hers, and he has much more experience!"
"Skill is only one aspect, and experience is also only one aspect..." Situ Chenghua said with a smile, "But in this kind of face-to-face competition between two people, the on-the-spot performance is more important!"
"This...even though this is the case, I still don't quite believe that Liu Mengyan can beat Zi Liang. You also know that Zi Ran is his brother and has opened many small stoves for him. Maybe he has told him to do so.
How should Liu Mengyan be beaten?" Zheng Mingqi said.
"I said, preparing in advance may not be useful, the key is to see what happens on the spot!" Situ Chenghua waved his hand and said with a smile, "However, we can't guess the result now, so we should wait until tomorrow! I really
I hope that female disciple can give me a surprise!"
...The next day, there were more people around the competition venue.
