Jiang Li thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who the other party was, so he asked Yan Hong beside him.
"He is Qi Tianya, a disciple from the same period as ours, but he is a genius with top-notch spiritual roots! As soon as he joined the sect, he became an inner disciple and became a member of the Heaven and Earth Hall. He is very powerful."
Yan Hong has been hanging around in the crowded trading area all year round. To make money by buying and selling, all aspects of information are indispensable.
Therefore, unlike Jiang Li, who is always busy with various training plans, Yan Hong has become a sect know-it-all after half a year of joining.
It's just that when Yan Hong talked about him, his tone was sour and slightly mocking.
"Qi Tianya...I seem to have heard this name before. But in Tiandi Hall, is he a disciple of the Valley Master?"
Jiang Li is so familiar with him, so he can naturally understand what he means. Everyone is in the middle of Qi training, so why bother?
After Yan Hong's repeated reminders, Jiang Li finally remembered that he had indeed seen this person when he first boarded the sect's flying boat.
It was just that when he came back, the other party just looked down upon their group of outer disciples, so he showed such arrogance.
Unexpectedly, it seems now that he actually treats everyone like this, including these other inner disciples.
"No, he is the disciple of another elder of Tiandi Hall."
Yan Hong's words were very plain, but his expression clearly stated that he was not worthy. It seemed that the emotional intelligence of a genius at the same time was somewhat low.
Judging from the situation where Qi Tianya was sitting alone at a table, few of the inner disciples were willing to do what he did.
Especially when compared with senior brother Chu Yunxuan, this kind of person seems even more ignorant. If someone is so strong but so humble, why don't you have a higher level of spiritual root and put on a bad face every day?
look?
Jiang Li nodded and didn't say anything else. He just thought that in the upcoming sect competition, he and the other party might be very likely to be assigned together.
During the middle stage of Qi training, the two novices were pecking at each other. He shook his head, feeling a little funny.
He poured two black balls out of a small porcelain bottle and stuffed them into his mouth to chew. A sweet and fruity taste of sea plow fruit slowly filled his mouth.
Senior Sister Xiaosi is indeed, as she said, a genius in alchemy. This is her personal invention of Baiwei Pill.
This thing can make various food dishes into meatballs, almost perfectly retaining the flavor and nutrition.
You can take it with you and use it whenever you want. Although it is not a pill and has no other special effects, it is delicious.
In addition to having a barbecue party with the brothers and sisters from the Fumo Hall, the tens of thousands of kilograms of meat scraped off Dragon Turtle's body were used by Xiaosi to make Baiwei pills for the remaining few hundred kilograms.
Jiang Li, Yan Hong, and several fellow disciples from Fumo Hall gathered around a table, and after each shared a few Baiwei pills as snacks, the martial arts competition finally officially opened.
A total of two hundred and seventy-two disciples in the Qi-refining stage and a total of forty-three disciples in the foundation-building stage participated in the sect's martial arts competition this time.
Even though there is an age limit, such a number of disciples can still sign up. The size of the Sutra Valley inner gate is indeed second to none in Dazhong Mountain.
There are only ten ground arenas. In this first round alone, there will be thirteen or four fights in each arena.
Not to mention the floating battle arena above. If a team of two has a bye, it will take twenty-one rounds to finish.
It is roughly estimated that this first round of martial arts competition will take at least two days to end.
Here, the female cultivator from Huichun Hall who did not participate in the martial arts competition served as the venue staff. Soon all the disciples who participated in the martial arts competition got a bamboo stick with their name and number engraved on it.
Jiang Li, No. 271.
When Jiang Li got the bamboo stick, he couldn't help but feel that his forehead was covered with black lines.
He looked at Qi Tianya, who was sitting not far away, and his expression was the same as his. Obviously, that number 272 must have meant that the other person had not run away.
Jiang Li was speechless. Obviously the other two hundred and seventy disciples were in the late stage of Qi training... What's the point of ranking them by their cultivation level?
He curled his lips helplessly, but this number was not completely without merit. The only thing that made Jiang Li feel gratified was that the order of the fight was completely opposite to the number on the bamboo stick.
In other words, he can go on stage to resolve the battle in the first game. He does not need to wait for two days before it is his turn to take the stage like one of his senior brothers who drew a single-digit lottery number.
Under the guidance of the disciples of Huichun Hall, disciples No. 253 to 272 entered the ring one after another according to their serial numbers.
Jiang Li and Qi Tianya happened to be in the first arena numbered "A".
The two disciples in the middle stage of Qi training can be regarded as two strange flowers in the martial arts field. Regardless of their low cultivation level, they have attracted a lot of attention from the audience.
Especially the outer sect disciples, who numbered over 10,000, and the sects who obviously had nothing to do with them were the ones who showed the most excitement during the martial arts competition.
The disciples around the audience began to talk a lot, and many disciples who knew the identities of Jiang Li began to talk and analyze the outcome of the two.
Jiang Li was still an outer sect disciple just a few months ago. Even after he was promoted to the inner sect, many disciples came to give him gifts. Logically speaking, they were naturally more inclined to hope that Jiang Li would win.
Moreover, as a new disciple, Jiang Li won the only victory in this year's outer sect competition. He has some legendary qualities that are talked about, and there are not a few people who support him to win.
As for Qi Tianya, who had been an inner sect disciple since he first entered, not many people knew him, but a top-grade spiritual root was enough to make most of the outer sect disciples tremble with jealousy.
According to incomplete statistics, every year, new disciples of the outer sect of the Sutra Library Valley will have dreams on average five nights in the first ten days of entry, dreaming that they have been detected to have the best spiritual roots.
The other five nights were spent unable to sleep due to envy and jealousy.
Under such eager circumstances, the best spiritual roots were naturally deified in the outer sect. Even if they had never met Qi Tianya before, a spiritual root talent could already allow them to classify each other as incomparable.
defeated opponent.
The onlookers below were arguing in full swing, but the two people on the stage acted calmly.
Jiang Li was still chewing "candy" in his mouth, while Qi Tianya was still holding his sword.
duang~
It wasn't until the referee next to the ring sounded the gong that they finally looked at each other.
"Heaven and Earth Hall, Qi Tianya."
"Fu Mo Hall, Jiang Li."
The two of them politely announced their names first.
Jiang Li had a smile on his face and wanted to say a few polite words between fellow disciples. But before he could say it, he heard Qi Tianya say something awkwardly.
"You, take action first, otherwise you will have no chance to take action!"
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and lowered his hand that was politely cupping his fist.
The other party's words almost made Jiang Li laugh. Did this guy really think that he was alone?
"Then...as you wish."
A gust of breeze blew by, and Qi Tianya, who was still intoxicated with his "powerful strength", suddenly opened his eyes, and a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but fall from his forehead.
Because Jiang Li, who was standing in front of him just now, has disappeared, but the four words "as you wish" came from behind him!
boom!
Jiang Li came from behind and kicked the opponent's butt.
To be honest, Jiang Li believed that Qi Tianya was indeed the most difficult one among the two hundred and seventy-one qi-training disciples.
Because he was only in the middle stage of Qi training, Jiang Li had to exercise great restraint in order to avoid accidentally beating him to death!
Amidst the crisp sound of fractures, Qi Tianya's hips deformed violently, and his coccyx and sacrum were deformed and fractured instantly under the impact of huge force.
The arrogant Qi Tianya, who was holding a long sword in his hand, fell to the ground in an instant, and with no remaining strength, he quickly slid forward in a dog-eating posture.
The skin of the clothes was torn and shattered during the sliding process, leaving large blood stains on the reinforced ring.
It wasn't until Qi Tianya slid to the edge of the ring that half of Qi Tianya's body was already hanging outside the ring, that he finally stopped and was not eliminated directly.
But looking at his deformed lower body, it was obvious that he could no longer stand up.
"Sister, I think we can announce the results."
Jiang Li felt that the force he used was already very small, and he was attacking the butt where the soft tissue was the thickest and the least likely to be injured, but he didn't expect that he would still kick the opponent like this.
However, there are countless miraculous methods in the world of immortality. If treated properly, the patient should not be left with any sequelae of incontinence.
The female cultivator of Huichun Hall nodded. She also knew Jiang Li, the little bully of the Demon-Subduing Hall, so she was not surprised by this result.
She was also prepared to announce the results early and then rescue the injured, just like she often did before.
"A-Character Fighting Platform, the first match, the winner..."
But at this moment.
Clang!
A flying sword came out of the body, flew up from the ground, and came through the air in the direction of Jiang Li.
But Qi Tianya still refused to admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and pointed his blood-covered right hand into a sword pointing at Jiang Li in the distance.
He urged the flying sword to pierce his heart!
Speaking of sword cultivation, the Five Elements Peak family in Shushan is naturally the only one, but it does not mean that other monks do not use flying swords or sword-shaped magic weapons.
On the contrary, in the area around Dachong Mountain, the frequency of monks using sword-type magic weapons is quite high. It's just that they are not as strong as Shushan sword cultivators.
Ding!
Facing the flying sword, Jiang Li casually stretched out his hand and pinched it forward, just like picking up a branch, holding the flying sword in his hand with only his index finger and thumb.
The quality of this flying sword is not low. Although it is not as good as the Shushan Flying Sword, it is definitely of high quality. It should be a treasure given by the opponent's master.
"The sword is a good sword, but it's a pity that it fell into your hands."
Buzz buzz~
The flying sword was pinched by Jiang Li and was still buzzing and trembling. Qi Tianya, who was lying on the ground, almost started to bleed on his sword fingers. He tried desperately to move the flying sword in an attempt to break away from Jiang Li's fingers.
Jiang Li glanced at him, and then flicked the sword with his other hand. The flying sword immediately trembled and whined, and the bright light on the sword disappeared immediately.
The flying sword in his hand was forcibly knocked away from the spiritual energy, and it was also seriously damaged. It fell silent for a while like a piece of scrap metal. No matter how Qi Tianya urged it, it stopped moving.
"How is this possible! What did you do to my flying sword!"
"Move! Move! Move quickly!"
Jiang Li walked step by step to Qi Tianya, who stared at him with red eyes, and tears of unwillingness and grievance could even be seen in his eyes.
It seemed like he was blaming Jiang Li for not following his script.
"Is it your fault?"
Jiang Li shrugged nonchalantly, and then kicked the opponent off the ring.
"A-Character Fighting Platform, the first match, the winner is the Demon Subduing Hall, Jiang Li!"
Jiang Li threw away the flying sword in his hand as if throwing away garbage, and left the ring under the dull eyes of a group of outer disciples.
The flying sword was a gift from the other party's senior commander, and he belonged to the same sect. There was no need for him to take advantage of such a small gain and make a fuss about it.
"Well...well...so strong, did you see it? Jiang Li won."
"I saw it, but I seemed to be hallucinating."
"I think so too. Did Senior Brother Jiang Li catch the flying sword just now? Who can tell me how a flesh and blood body caught the flying sword?"
"Also, Senior Brother Jiang Li seems to be able to teleport. He was on the other side of the ring just now. How did he do this!?"
A group of outer disciples were chattering and discussing with each other, trying to use their shallow knowledge to guess what kind of spells Jiang Li used to achieve that effect.
While the outer disciples watched the excitement, the inner disciples and elders of the sect saw the secrets.
"Old He...what's going on with you, my disciple?"
"Is he really just in the middle stage of Qi training? With that kind of physique, how many monsters have you stuffed into his body?"
"No, Lao He, you have only accepted this disciple for a few months. How come his cultivation has grown so fast? I think his aura will break through to the late stage in a few days. Are you giving him spiritual pills every day?"
Is he a meal?"
In the floating Changqing Palace, a group of elders were also attracted by the crushing battle situation on Jiang Li's side.
Those disciples couldn't understand that senior monks like them were not blind.
Jiang Li just ran up behind Qi Tianya, kicked him carefully, then grabbed the flying sword, and then scattered the flying sword's spiritual energy. This series of operations of his did not use spiritual energy at all. They were all caused by pure physical strength.
situation.
This is very exaggerated, because just a few months ago, Jiang Li, who was fashionable and weak at the time, became his master in front of their eyes.
"Junior Brother He, what number of blood lines are there on Jiang Li's body?"
At this time, Master Wushe, the owner of the Buddhist Sutra Valley, also asked.
As expected of the Master of the Sutra Valley, his eyesight is really extraordinary. He got to the point right away.
"Senior Brother Wu She, that kid already has the fourth blood streak on his body."
Elder He spoke, but the smile on his face could not be concealed no matter what.
"The fourth way!... It seems that you made the right choice to accept this disciple. If it had been anyone else, my pearl would have been covered in dust."
The Illustrated Book of Beast Blood is one of the four strongest ancient inheritances in the Sutra Valley.
Its power is only inferior to the Taoist law "Fangtian Seal" passed down by the Valley Master's lineage.
Jiang Li had already put on his fourth set of blood patterns in a short period of time, which showed that he was very suitable for the animal blood catalog.
The faster the beast blood tattoo disappears, the faster he can absorb the power of the monster. This is a more effective improvement than swallowing pills.
Therefore, although Jiang Li's progress is still incredible, with this explanation, it is not so difficult to accept.
All the elders of the sect congratulated Elder He on accepting a good disciple with sour hearts and smiles.
Only Master Qi Tianya from Tiandi Hall had an ugly expression on his face.
He had been teaching a top-grade spiritual root disciple for more than half a year, but Elder He had accepted Jiang Li, a mid-grade spiritual root disciple, to teach him for several months, which made him very embarrassed.
In addition, it doesn't matter if he loses miserably because of his poor strength. His disciple also has a bad character and has offended many people in the inner sect, which really breaks his heart.
No, after lying on the ground for a long time, no one came to take him away, which shows how unpopular he is.
This master of Qi Tianya has never thought of going out to trouble Jiang Li for his apprentice.
My master is the head of the Demon-Suppressing Hall, and for him, an ordinary elder, to do such a thing, is that because he has a long life?
