A burly man with a stature like an iron tower suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
There was a scar at the corner of the big man's eye, making him look even more ferocious.
The big man's name is Meng Que, and he is also a contender for this Quick Shadow Sequence.
"Nie Jie, I will give you three Shadow Enlightenment Talisman, and you will be my gauntlet!"
He said in an angry voice.
At the same time, he did not forget to give Cheng Tianhao and Lin Ying a cold look and snorted coldly.
"Why do you two idiots want to fight with me?"
Cheng Tianhao and Lin Ying both looked a little ugly.
Three Shadow Enlightenment Talismans, this is already a huge feat.
"Isn't it just the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman?"
Cheng Tianhao gritted his teeth and glared at Meng Que, seeming to give up, and said in a deep voice.
"Brother Nie, as long as you become my gauntlet, I will give you a shadow seed afterwards!"
As soon as his words came out.
Whether it was Lin Ying or Meng Que, their expressions changed wildly.
"Cheng Tianhao, you...are you crazy!?"
Lin Ying was shocked.
Although in the battle for the Quick Shadow sequence, hand guards are very important.
But it's far from worth a shadow species.
In her opinion, taking out the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman and buying a gauntlet was well worth the money.
did not expect……
This Cheng Tianhao is even crazier than himself!
"Don't you want to fight? Come on! If you have the ability to come up with something of higher value than the shadow species!"
Cheng Tianhao's eyes were red with a sense of madness.
In terms of momentum, he directly crushed Lin Ying and Meng Que.
"Damn, crazy!"
Meng Que cursed.
Turn around and leave.
Although he is very concerned about the top of the list of tree spirit kills.
But it is impossible for him to come up with something of higher value than the shadow seed.
Lin Ying also looked ugly.
Leave directly.
Even without this handguard.
They can also ask for other gauntlets.
There's no need to lose your mind fighting for a gauntlet.
Xiao Shi looked at this scene with a strange expression.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t say a word...
In the competition between the three of them, there were considerable benefits.
It's just that he doesn't know yet what the fight for the Swift Shadow Sequence is about.
And with his caution.
Without understanding the Quick Shadow Sequence, I would naturally not agree rashly.
So for Cheng Tianhao’s invitation.
Xiao Shi said he needed to think about it.
This made Cheng Tianhao stunned for a moment.
I thought that if I took out the shadow seed, the other party would definitely agree without hesitation.
However, when the other party faced such a huge benefit, he still wanted to consider it!
Regarding this.
Cheng Tianhao can only wait for Xiao Shi to make a decision.
He wasn't worried that someone would offer better terms than him.
After all, I can bring out a shadow seed to invite the gauntlet.
This has never happened before in the entire Jiying Palace.
The emergence of the quick shadow sequence disrupted Xiao Shi's original action plan.
He was in no hurry to continue to the tree spirit area.
Instead, he was planning to go and find out the relevant information about the Swift Shadow Sequence first.
The reason why I didn't inquire about Cheng Tianhao was because I was worried that the other party would hide something.
After all, Cheng Tianhao now really wants himself to be his gauntlet.
They may only convey beneficial information to themselves, thereby concealing information that is not beneficial to themselves.
The safest way is to inquire from other people.
After some inquiring.
Xiao Shi finally had enough understanding of the entire Jiying sequence.
The Swift Shadow Sequence is the method used by the Swift Shadow Palace to select the disciples of the Sequence.
Each of the five cities in Jiying Palace will give birth to a sequence disciple.
In Jiying Palace, sequence disciples are extremely important.
Every disciple of the sequence is undoubtedly a genius of the present generation.
It is also the facade of Jiying Palace based in Tiandou State.
In addition to enjoying the best treatment and the most resources from the sect, Sequence disciples also have certain control over the city.
For example, the tree shadow sequence born from Tree Shadow City.
He has a certain degree of control over the entire Tree Shadow City and can touch the important secrets of Tree Shadow City.
In Jiying Palace, sequence disciples are the goal and pursuit of countless people.
It is a kind of highest honor.
It also represents the supreme authority, status, and strength in the entire Jiying Palace.
Just gotta be the sequence…
It's extremely difficult.
You must first be qualified to participate in the sequence competition.
And just the qualifications for the sequence are enough to block 99% of the people.
In this competition for the Quick Shadow Sequence, there are only five people in Shuying City who are qualified!
That is to say...
This tree shadow sequence will only be born among these five people.
However, each of these five people can invite four gauntlets to assist them and participate in the sequence competition.
Just about the specific method of competition...
Xiao Shi did not find out.
I just know that every sequence competition is different.
At the same time he also learned.
The three people who had previously qualified for the sequence competition invited me to be the gauntlet mainly because they were now at the top of the tree spirit killing list.
In Tree Cinema, there are many similar lists.
People who rank on these lists are often the best candidates for hand protection.
Just thinking about the three people fighting for me before...
Xiao Shi felt something was not right.
Although it is very common for these people with sequence qualifications to compete with each other for the first-ranked gauntlet, there is something wrong with them all offering excellent conditions to compete.
Especially after Xiao Shi inquired about the shadow enlightenment talisman they gave and the specific value and function of the shadow seed, he became even more sure of this.
Based on the information he found.
The Wuying Talisman is an extremely expensive item in the entire Jiying Palace.
Its function is mainly to realize the shadow species through the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
Shadow seeds are the core of Jiying Palace and the foundation of their strength!
For example, the core of the Red Tiger Sect lies in the Red Tiger at every stage.
The core of Jiying Palace is the shadow species.
It can be said that the disciples of Jiying Palace practice from the very beginning just to be able to form shadow seeds!
Everything……
They are all based on the formation of shadow species.
Only shadow species are formed.
Only then can they achieve the greatest improvement and qualitative change!
Shadow species are the greatest value of Shadow Palace.
This is also an important reason why countless people in Douzhou want to join Jiying Palace today.
Many people joined the Shadow Palace.
Just to be able to form shadow seeds.
The formation of shadow seeds is mainly divided into two situations.
One is that you must practice the designated skills of Jiying Palace.
Just like the Red Tiger Technique that all the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect practice.
Jiying Palace also has similar designated techniques.
It's just that disciples who practice this designated technique usually join Jiying Palace when they enter the martial realm.
People like Xiao Shi and others who have just joined Jiying Palace at the Qi Martial Realm can no longer change their techniques.
But even if you don’t practice the designated skills of Jiying Palace.
There are also opportunities to form shadow seeds.
It's just that in terms of difficulty, it's more difficult than practicing the designated skills of Jiying Palace.
Some disciples who have strong understanding themselves.
If you have the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman in hand...
On the contrary, one can comprehend the shadow seed through the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
Even if you don't have enough understanding and can't understand it, you can still speed up the formation of shadow seeds to a certain extent.
This is also the value of the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
Just the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman, there are not many in the entire Jiying Palace.
Ordinary disciples often do not have many ways to obtain the Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
Only disciples like Cheng Tianhao and others who are qualified for the sequence competition can obtain the astonishingly valuable Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
This was also the main reason why everyone around was shocked when Lin Ying expressed her willingness to take out a Shadow Enlightenment Talisman.
And the value of just one Shadow Enlightenment Talisman is already so astonishing.
This time Cheng Tianhao gave it directly...
It’s even more of a shadow species!!
This made Xiao Shi feel even more unusual.
"No matter how much we fight, we won't come up with something so valuable, unless... this tree spirit kill list has a different meaning!"
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although after half a month of killing tree spirits, he had killed many tree spirits.
But if they were in other late stages of the Qi Martial Realm where more Qi whirlpools were opened, or in the Great Perfection of the Qi Martial Realm, they would also be able to achieve such a record.
This is what makes Xiao Shi feel strange.
In his opinion.
It is not difficult to become the number one in this tree spirit killing list.
Many people can do it.
But now these three disciples who are qualified to compete for the sequence all have a "soft spot" for themselves, who are number one on the tree spirit killing list.
In order to compete for themselves, one after another made offers that were difficult to refuse.
Here...
There must be something wrong!
As Xiao Shi continued to investigate.
He finally found part of the reason.
It turns out that killing tree spirits is a way to quickly earn contribution points, but it also has drawbacks.
Each time a tree spirit is killed.
They are often corroded by a trace of the tree spirit's breath.
This kind of breath erosion cannot be avoided.
As long as you kill, you will inevitably be eroded.
If it's just the aura erosion of one or two tree spirits, it's nothing.
However, once too many tree spirits are killed, as the accumulated aura erosion continues to increase, one's own strength and cultivation will be weakened by the erosion of these auras.
Of course, this kind of aura erosion does not exist permanently, but will gradually dissipate over time.
But it will take at least two to three months for it to completely dissipate.
Therefore, even if most people receive the task of killing tree spirits, they will not kill too many people.
Someone like Xiao Shi who has been killing continuously for half a month...
It's really rare.
After Xiao Shi learned this.
Only then did I understand why he became the number one tree spirit kill list so easily...
No wonder he hasn't seen anyone killing tree spirits on the fourth floor in the past half month.
Usually, the stronger the tree spirit is, the more serious the aura erosion it will suffer after being killed.
Very few people would kill the tree spirits on the fourth level.
But he also had other doubts in his mind.
From beginning to end.
He didn't even feel the aura erosion.
His own strength and cultivation showed no signs of weakening at all.
"Is it because of [Martial Emperor's Mask]?"
Xiao Shi was thoughtful.
I think that's probably the case.
After all, [Martial Emperor Mask] is immune to all auras.
Therefore, this kind of aura erosion has no effect on oneself.
But in the eyes of others...
It's terrifying that I can continue to kill these tree spirits despite being corroded by the aura!
But based on this alone...
It's still not enough for them to take out such valuable things to fight for themselves.
Among these...
There must be a deeper reason!
It’s just that no matter how Xiao Shi inquires.
It was difficult for him to find any useful information.
"Perhaps the tree spirit kill list is also related to the method of competition..."
Xiao Shi silently made a guess.
After learning all this.
He also became somewhat interested in the entire sequence competition.
If you can get a shadow seed from this...
Seems pretty good too!
the most important is.
This is an opportunity to kill the Great Perfection of Qi Martial Realm!
According to the information obtained by Xiao Shi.
Sequential battles are often filled with blood and killing.
In previous serial battles, only half of the people could survive.
And these people who are qualified for the sequence competition, as well as the gauntlets they invite, are basically at the late stage of the Qi Martial Realm, and have the perfect level of strength.
This is undoubtedly a good prey!
Now, as Xiao Shi's cultivation is about to reach the late stage of Qi Martial Realm.
He thought that he could almost try to kill the Qi Martial Realm Dzogchen.
After all, the only way to achieve perfection is to kill the Qi Martial Realm.
Only high-quality items will drop.
It’s just that there aren’t many great perfections in the Qi Martial Realm.
For example, in terms of tree spirits, there are no tree spirits who are in the Qi Martial Realm of Dzogchen.
The strongest tree spirits are only those at the fourth level that are comparable to those in the late Qi Martial Realm.
Therefore, it is not easy for Xiao Shi to find the Qi Martial Realm Dzogchen and kill him here.
And this sequence competition is obviously a good opportunity!
At the same time, as a gauntlet, if it can help the person it supports become a sequence, then it will be able to stand more firmly in the Shadow Palace.
Consider all aspects.
Xiao Shi felt that he could participate as a gauntlet in this sequence battle.
But he was not in a hurry to find Cheng Tianhao and agree to him.
There are still ten days left before the start of the sequence competition.
He continued to the tree spirit area.
As always, kill the tree spirits here.
While killing him, he also noticed the aura erosion caused by the death of the tree spirit.
This kind of breath erosion is silent and extremely difficult to detect.
However, under Xiao Shi's careful inspection.
He was still aware of this weak aura erosion.
It's just that when these breaths eroded his body, his body seemed to have an invisible barrier, preventing these breaths from penetrating into his body and being blocked.
"It is indeed [Martial Emperor's Mask]."
Xiao Shi suddenly felt at ease.
After he killed many tree spirits, he once again harvested a lot of contribution points and items dropped by the tree spirits after their death.
He continued to return to the tree house to open and expand the air vortex.
Two days later.
boom!
With a dull explosion.
Xiao Shi's body was shaken violently, and the ninety-ninth air lock in his body exploded under the impact of numerous Taiyin energy.
He successfully opened the ninety-ninth Taiyin Qi Whirlpool!
It has officially entered the late stage of Qi Martial Realm from the middle stage of Qi Martial Realm.
At the same time, the air lock in his body.
Now there is only one left.
As long as he breaks the last air lock, he can break through the late stage of the Qi Martial Realm and enter the Great Consummation of the Qi Martial Realm!
