Lu Chen, on the day the battle ended, returned to his residence and continued to practice and improve his strength.
Lu Chen didn't want to waste even a little time. His current cultivation level was not long after he was promoted to the middle stage of marrow cleansing.
There is not much time left for the battle with Lu Ying. The stronger Lu Chen is, the more likely he is to defeat Lu Ying.
Lu Chen used a perfect quality marrow cleansing potion to increase his internal strength, and the effect was very good. Even if it only took a few days, Lu Chen's internal strength was improved a lot.
The speed of his progress can be described as a thousand miles a day.
…
On this day, the sun was shining brightly and I was speechless.
A large crowd gathered again at the Lu family's martial arts arena.
There were many more Lu family members who came to the martial arts arena to watch the match today than during the group stage.
Because the knockout round is much more exciting and exciting than the group stage.
The knockout round is a single elimination system. That is to say, even if you are in the late stage of marrow cleansing, if you are unlucky, you still have the risk of being eliminated.
The rules of the knockout round are very simple, but also very cruel. It is completely different from the group stage. In the group stage, even if you lose one or even two games, you have a great hope of promotion. But in the knockout round, as long as you lose one game, you will be eliminated.
I can only leave sadly.
On the high platform, the head of the family, Lu Jinyun, and many senior figures of the Lu family have also arrived.
On the huge martial arts field, one thousand and twenty Lu family disciples who participated in the knockout round stood sparsely on it.
Around the martial arts arena, more than 20,000 Lu family members gathered to watch the battle.
Lu Chen was also among the 1,020 Lu family children who participated in the knockout round. He was very close to Lu Yanran.
"Brother Lu Chen, I don't want to run into you in the knockout round." Lu Yanran said jokingly.
She is at the early stage of marrow cleansing. If she participates in the knockout round, as long as she is not too unlucky, she still has a high chance of entering the finals. However, if she encounters an opponent like Lu Chen, she will consider herself unlucky.
Lu Yanran is in the early stage of marrow washing, and she knows that Lu Chen is also in the early stage of marrow washing, but Lu Chen has the strength to defeat Wang Xiaotian, and Wang Xiaotian is in the middle stage of marrow washing. Lu Yanran feels that if it were herself, she might not be able to defeat Wang Xiaotian
of.
In other words, if she met Chase Lu, she would have no choice but to admit defeat.
What she didn't know was that Lu Chen was already in the middle stage of marrow cleansing.
After all, it has only been a short time since Lu Chen defeated Wang Xiaotian in Zhenbao Pavilion. In such a short period of time, it would be too difficult to advance from the early stage of marrow washing to the middle stage of marrow washing.
Hearing Lu Yanran's words, Lu Chen smiled.
His eyes were fixed on a figure in golden robe walking not far away.
Lu Ying!
A student of Zhanlong, one of the four major academies in Tiandangzhou.
At this time, Lu Ying also stared at Lu Chen.
"You've been quite pushy lately." Lu Ying stared at Lu Chen with squinting eyes.
Next to Lu Ying, stood Lu Yan, whose arm was cut off by Lu Chen.
When Lu Yan looked at Lu Chen, his eyes became even more sinister, like a poisonous snake.
This time, Lu Yan did not sign up for the Lu family competition. One of his arms was disabled. Even if he participated in the family competition, he might not be able to enter the knockout round.
Regarding this, Lu Yan was full of hatred. Of course he hated Lu Chen. If Lu Chen hadn't disabled his arm, how could he not have entered the knockout round? Lu Chen had ruined his life.
He didn't want to think about it, if he hadn't provoked Lu Chen at the family coming-of-age ceremony, how could Lu Chen have hurt him?
"You do care about me!" Lu Chen curled his lips and smiled, squinting his eyes and said after hearing Lu Ying's words.
Recently in Qingfeng City, Lu Chen's name was really in the limelight. He had defeated Wang Xiaotian in the middle stage of marrow cleansing and was a senior pharmacist. These were undoubtedly the topics of conversation among people.
Many people can't figure out how Lu Chen rose up. From a recognized waste to becoming the focus of attention among urban practitioners.
"Hmph, you'd better pray that you don't meet me in the knockout round, otherwise, you won't even make it to the finals!" Lu Ying's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at Lu Yanran and then looked at Lu Chen.
In the group stage, the chance of the two meeting each other was very small. But in the knockout round, the chance of the two meeting was quite high.
"Enjoy it, these arms of yours are on you for the time being." Lu Ying said again, then took Lu Yan and turned around to leave.
"Brother Lu Chen, you have to be careful." Lu Yanran was a little worried.
After a pause, she continued, "Brother Lu Chen, if you encounter Lu Ying by chance, you'd better admit defeat immediately. That way, if he takes action again, my father and the others will definitely stop him."
Lu Yanran, of course, was also thinking about Lu Chen.
Lu Ying's strength is really too strong, and Lu Ying is already the twenty-fourth follower, a full eight years older than Lu Chen. Even if Lu Chen admits defeat, it will not be a shameful thing.
"Don't worry, I won't act out of anger." Lu Chen looked at Lu Yanran and smiled.
Looking at Lu Ying's back again, a flame began to burn quietly.
Defeat him, Lu Ying, right in front of all the members of the Lu family!
…
"The knockout round begins now!"
"You, a total of one thousand and twenty people, are the best among the younger generation of our Lu family. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for entering the knockout stage."
"Now, let me tell you the rules of the knockout competition!"
"The knockout round is a single-round elimination system. In the first round, 510 people are eliminated. In the second round, 255 people are eliminated. In the third round, 127 people are eliminated. In the fourth round, six people are eliminated.
There will be a total of five rounds in the knockout round.
The five rounds of knockout rounds were extremely cruel. There were more than a thousand people here, but in the end, only 32 people made it to the finals.
As long as he reaches the finals, he must be the most outstanding elite among the younger generation of the Lu family.
It can be said that people under the realm of marrow cleansing have almost no chance.
"If you can enter the last thirty-two people, then you can enter the finals."
"Okay, hand over your jade talisman for the competition!"
After the head of the family, Lu Jinyun, finished speaking, dozens of managers of the Lu family quickly jumped down from the high platform.
These supervisors came to the 1,020 Lu family disciples participating in the knockout round and collected all their jade charms.
Then, they quickly returned to the high platform.
More than a thousand jade charms were placed in a black wooden box.
The battle in this knockout round is completely random.
Among more than a thousand people, you may meet anyone.
Even if you are only in the middle stage of Body Tempering, you may still meet someone who is in the late stage of Marrow Cleansing.
Therefore, in the knockout round, luck is more important. Even if you are in the late stage of marrow cleansing, you may be eliminated in the knockout round.
Of course, the stronger the team, the greater the chance of entering the finals.
"Great Elder, you come first!"
Lu Jinyun smiled at the great elder Lu Yongfang and said.
"Okay!" Lu Yongfang walked to the black box, stretched out his hand, and stirred it gently inside the box.
Then, two jade charms were taken out.
"The first round, the first battle, Lu Hai versus Lu Dongqiang!" The great elder said loudly after taking a look at the name on the jade talisman.
After Lu Yongfang finished speaking, two descendants of the Lu family jumped out of the crowd. These two people were Lu Hai and Lu Dongqiang.
Then, a steward came to the two of them and took them to a fighting stage.
Under the auspices of the steward, the two men started fighting fiercely.
"First round, second battle, Lu Qingbo versus Lu Miao!" The second elder also took out two jade talismans from the black box and read the names on them loudly.
Two more people walked out of the crowd.
"First round, third battle..." Third Elder Lu Tianxing also drew out two jade talismans, his energy circulated, and his voice spread to the entire martial arts field.
The eight elders on the high platform stepped forward one by one to extract the jade talismans from the box.
One by one, the names were read out, and the children of the Lu family who participated in the knockout round walked out of the crowd one by one.
Battles continued one after another.
This knockout round is obviously much more exciting than the group stage. Even the weakest ones are still at the middle stage of body tempering.
The crowd watching around the martial arts arena burst into cheers from time to time.
"First round, battle 233, Lu Chen versus Lu Erniu."
The elder's voice came down from the high platform.
"It's my turn!" Lu Chen's eyes flashed.
"Brother Lu Chen, it's your turn!" Lu Yanran whispered from the side.
Lu Yanran has not been drawn yet.
"Well, I'll be down soon." Lu Chen said with a smile and walked out of the crowd.
As Lu Chen walked out, countless eyes around the martial arts arena fell on Lu Chen.
In fact, Lu Chen's fame is too great now. So when he appeared on the stage, he naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"Lu Chen appears!"
"Well, his opponent is called Lu Erniu. Look, that's Lu Erniu. He's not from the compound, right? I've never seen him."
"It is true that he is not from the compound, but from the town. However, this Lu Erniu is at the early stage of marrow cleansing. I saw his battle during the group stage. In that group, he
It’s number one.”
"I don't know who is stronger, Lu Chen or Lu Erniu," one person said.
"Does that need to be said? Lu Chen can even defeat Wang Xiaotian. Although Lu Erniu is in the early stage of marrow cleaning, can he possibly be comparable to Wang Xiaotian?" Someone said with a sneer.
"Haha, I hope Lu Erniu defeats Lu Chen. You don't know that Lu Chen is very assertive now. When I visited him before, the guards outside his yard didn't even let me in. Haha, it's so big.
Arrogance!" One person was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Lu Chen, with a sneer on his face.
…
"What a coincidence that Qiuye is in charge!"
After Lu Chen walked out of the crowd, he saw Lu Qiuye and smiled.
During the group stage, the person in charge of Lu Chen's group was Lu Qiuye.
"Yes." Lu Qiuye also smiled, "Lu Chen, I hope you can enter the finals."
"Well, thank you Qiuye for your kind words." Lu Chen nodded.
Lu Erniu is a dark-skinned, tall male cultivator.
When he came to Lu Qiuye, he just bowed slightly and didn't say anything. His eyes glanced at Lu Chen, and then turned away.
"Huh? There's actually a hint of murderous intent again!" Lu Chen's eyes narrowed.
"They should be fighting frequently, otherwise they wouldn't have such murderous intent." Lu Chen couldn't help but look at Lu Erniu.
You know, Lu Chen has even opened up the sea of consciousness. Generally speaking, only strong people in the Wuji realm can open up the sea of consciousness.
When a cultivator opens up his sea of consciousness, his five senses will become extremely terrifying.
