Using the death-granting spear to defeat the legendary thunder-penetrating spear, Lin Xiao successfully advanced to the top thirty-two.
The "unparalleled national warriors" from each major country have the seed quota to directly advance to the top 16.
This year's seeded players from each major country have not yet been fully announced.
For example, the kingdom of Sharo believes in ‘Ra’, the lord of the sun and the underworld.
Who will represent Sharo this year is still unknown.
The next round of competition will be held in two days.
According to the original plan, Lin Xiao came to the Imperial Capital Guest House to learn boxing techniques from Overlord and how to improve the efficiency of using source power.
Bang!
On the martial arts field, standing in front of the training stakes were Xiang Yu, who was standing with his arms folded, and Lin Xiao, who was sweating profusely.
Xiang Yu's eyes were scrutinizing, his rough face showed a satisfied look, and he nodded unnoticeably.
Lin Xiaoyuan's depth of power surprised even Xiang Yu, and this proves that he has a perseverance and has a great chance of inheriting his "unparalleled" unique skills.
"Lord Wu Quxing, Mr. Han Li invites you to go to the alliance to discuss matters related to the 'Cruel against Chaos'!"
While practicing, an alliance operator came over. He did not dare to step into the training ground rashly and stood outside calling to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao stopped, took off the towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and replied, "You go back first, I'll be right over."
The officer resigned.
Lin Xiao said hello to Xiang Yu, took a shower, and then went to the meeting hall of the Central Continent Alliance.
In the corridor, Lin Xiao saw an oncoming figure.
Mo Yao was wearing a green shirt and had a slim figure. She smiled and said:
"Congratulations to Mr. Wuquxing for advancing."
"It's just a baby cup, nothing to congratulate."
"Baby...cup?" Mo Yao blinked.
"The competition that you take the babies in the cards to participate in is called the Baby Cup." Lin Xiao said casually.
"Ah, that's it." Mo Yao exclaimed softly, feeling that it made sense.
The two walked into the Seven Star Conference Room together.
‘Jumen Star’ Zhang Rong and ‘Pojun Star’ Lu Lingqiu were already seated, but they raised their heads and said, “Master Wu Quxing.”
Even among the seven stars, there is a ranking. Wuquxing has a very high reputation both officially and among the people, and its status is evident.
Lin Xiao was still not used to such formal occasions, so he sat down and said, "Just call me Lin Xiao."
Lu Lingqiu nodded slightly and said: "This time we are discussing the battle plan to defeat Chaos and its envoys. The meeting will officially begin after Tianshi Jiang Shang arrives."
After a while, Jiang Shang slowly pushed the door open and saw that everyone had already arrived. He was startled at first, and then smiled:
"Haha, we're all here, let's start."
Han Li took it for granted and said:
"Right now, among the four evils, only Chaos has not yet appeared. If necessary, first understand the basic information about Chaos through ancient books."
Han Li pressed the button, and a blue light rose from the center of the conference round table, projecting a 3D "chaotic" appearance.
This is a strange monster with no face and no ears. It is like a ball of flesh that has four legs and wings.
"This is restored through ancient books. The appearance of chaos in the guess is similar to the divine bird Dijiang. It is self-contained and does not distinguish external objects." Han Li said, "Chaos also has another image, which is mentioned in the "Shen Zhi Jing"
The recorded giant dogs had belly but no internal organs, had legs but could not walk, had eyes but could not see..."
With that said, Han Li pressed the button, and the blue projection began to change, from the flesh ball just now to a giant beast with a large empty hole in its abdomen.
"Chaos in ancient books generally looks like these two." Han Li adjusted his glasses, "I personally agree with the former. After all, there is no distinction between chaos and specific animal shapes, so it doesn't look like chaos anymore."
Jiang Shang leaned on the back of his chair, holding the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and agreed: "I also think the former image is more accurate."
"Zhuangzi Neipian" once recorded such a story: The Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor came to Chaos's house for a while. Seeing that Chaos entertained him so much, they planned to repay Chaos. Since humans have seven orifices, but Chaos does not, they decided to replace Chaos.
Chaos chiseled out seven orifices.
The Southern Emperor and the Northern Emperor joined hands and dug an orifice into Chaos in one day. After seven days of digging, all the seven orifices in Chaos were opened and he died immediately.
Jiang Shang first read this story from "Zhuangzi" and enjoyed it for a long time.
(Chaos: Listen to me, thank you.)
The general idea of this story is that some things are naturally made, and shaping them later will be harmful to them.
"Chaos symbolizes a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong."
Meng Liang opened his mouth, his voice like a bell, and said: "Chaos is often regarded as the leader of the four evils, and its strength is probably higher than that of Taotie and Qiongqi."
Lin Xiao's eyes flashed slightly.
The history of the three envoys is constantly moving forward. From the Three Kingdoms, Chu and Han to the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Chaos is the leader of the four evils, will its messenger live in an earlier era and be stronger?
Mo Yao looked at the shape projected by Chaos, holding her cheeks, and said: "It's weird, it has no head."
Lin Xiao suddenly said: "Xingtian doesn't have a head either."
The room fell into a stagnation, and everyone's eyes were complicated, as if they had heard something terrible, and they all looked at Lin Xiao in unison.
Lin Xiao explained: "Guess, just guess."
After all, when talking about the headless Chi You envoy, it is easy to think of Xing Tian...
There are different versions of Zhongzhou myths. In some versions, Xing Tian was Chi You's capable general. After Chi You's death, he continued to compete with the Yellow Emperor for the throne. In the end, he was beheaded and buried in Changyang Mountain, but he still survived.
The story of Xingtian using his breasts as his eyes, his navel as his mouth, and performing dances on his limbs is recorded in the text. He would not stop until death, and he can be regarded as an example of the "god of war".
Lin Xiao's speculation did have some truth to it, and it made everyone feel a little heavy.
After all, it is very likely that he will face the god of war, Xing Tian, who is second only to the military leader Chi You in the history of Central Continent.
Han Li has already prepared for the worst, that is, not to confront Xing Tian head-on and strive to suppress Chaos, even if he achieves his strategic goal.
"In the past few days, I have taken people to search for traces of the legendary Changyang Mountain. Maybe we will find something." Lu Lingqiu said.
Han Li nodded: "The environment has changed drastically. Changyang Mountain may be in a secret realm and difficult to find. Let Zhuge Qian go with you, he knows the method of Qimen."
The Seven-Star Conference is over.
Lin Xiao held a photo of "Chaos" and looked at it carefully.
In fact, Lin Xiao was quite looking forward to the confrontation with Xing Tian. Come to think of it, Overlord also had the same expectations as himself.
If this was a Souls-like game, then "Headless God of War" Xing Tian must be one of the most exciting and difficult bosses to defeat.
And Xingtian's "Qianqi", axe, and shield must be extremely high-quality tools or materials...
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered and he nodded.
"Suitable for strengthening the Meteor Sword!"
…
The World Series is still in full swing.
Brother Chu Yun has been busy in the Demon City Investigation Team these days, responsible for collecting intelligence from major countries.
Since Lin Xiao was the nominal leader of the Demon City Investigation Team, Chu Yun made a routine report and said:
"Charlie, the King of Glory, was very dissatisfied with Root's loss. There is news that he refused Root's audience."
"At present, it seems that King of Glory Charlie will personally participate in this year's World Series and is determined to compete for a good ranking." Chu Yun said.
Lin Xiao: "His trump card won't be something like the Sword in the Stone, right?"
Chu Yun was slightly startled and said: "It is indeed a sword, but it is the 'Sword in the Lake'. Legend has it that it was given to King Charlie of Glory by the fairy in the lake."
Really... It seems that the legendary prototype of the Kingdom of Glory is King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
Lin Xiao nodded and said: "I understand the truth, why is he called Charlie Wang?"
Chu Yun: "...This joke is too cold."
The man in the black suit complained indifferently, but a clear and joyful laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Xiao said in surprise: "Who has such a low point of laughter?"
Chu Yun turned the camera and saw Sigrid at the workstation in the office with a red face and a suppressed smile. Finally, she leaned over the desk, shrugged her shoulders and said: "Charlie Wang..."
The camera returned to Chu Yun's paralyzed face, and Lin Xiao said happily:
"Is there any information from other countries?"
"Just yesterday, a gas explosion occurred in a small village 80 kilometers away from Cairo. This is public news."
Chu Yun said: "Actually, one of the Card Faller bases was eradicated. Recently, Sharo's Card Faller organization, which believed in 'Set', has been quieted down a lot."
"This handwriting looks familiar." Lin Xiao pondered.
"Well, it's very similar to Qing Kui's style." Chu Yun nodded.
I haven't contacted Jolina for more than a month, and I think there has been some new progress in her trip to Sharo.
Lin Xiao's thoughts were a little divergent, but she stopped.
There will always be people turning at forks in the road, and if the roads are going to meet again, they will meet again.
In the next two days, Lin Xiao continued to train with Bawang and made some achievements in boxing.
At the same time, the spiritual fruits and spiritual plants in the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Diagram ushered in the first wave of harvest.
These spiritual fruits and spiritual plants can be eaten directly to enhance Qi, blood and physical fitness, or they can be fed to spiritual objects to increase their goodwill.
Lin Xiao's physique has once again experienced a wave of enhancement, and his strength and speed have increased a lot.
The spiritual creatures in the map of mountains and rivers: Wuzhiqi, Behemoth, and Taotie are feasting on their appetites and enjoying themselves, which makes them feel like they are enjoying themselves and not thinking about Shu.
Taking a break from training, Lin Xiao teleported back to Solomon Winery and handed the spiritual fruit suitable for winemaking to Samael.
This spiritual fruit has an attractive red color and an excellent taste, similar to apples, and can be used to make cider.
Lucifer wouldn't be able to get drunk with ordinary wine, but this cider might be able to make the "Son of the Morning Star" drunk.
Samael expressed great surprise at the quality of the spiritual fruit: "Did you pick it from the fruit tree in the Garden of Eden?"
"It's not the Garden of Eden, but it's not much different. The place of origin is Central Continent..." Lin Xiao said.
Samael glanced at Lin Xiao with strange eyes.
In addition to the black dragon, you are not related to the candle dragon, right?
The industrial chain of the winery has been very complete under the management of Mammon, and it is no exaggeration to make money every day.
After Lin Xiao explained the details of brewing, he teleported back to the Demon City of Central Continent.
This time, Chaos' investigation went smoothly. As soon as Lin Xiao got home, he received a call from Han Li.
"According to legend, Xingtian's burial place, Changyang Mountain, has been found," Han Li said.
"Found according to the geographical location recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?" Lin Xiao asked subconsciously.
"There is indeed a reference, but it is a little different." Han Li said, "The location of Changyang Mountain has become an inland lake."
"We suspect that the real Changyang Mountain is at the bottom of the lake."
*
Xiang Yu had been waiting at the martial arts training ground for a long time, but did not wait for Lin Xiao who came to train. When he asked, he found out that the other party had received an urgent mission and rushed to Changyang Mountain at short notice.
"Changyang Mountain." Xiang Yu frowned and noticed something: "According to legend, the place where the emperor was buried in Xingtian?"
On the plain, Lin Xiao rode a heavy motorcycle, brushing away the dust and smoke, pressed Bluetooth, and said:
"It's not certain yet. I'll go to the scene to confirm first."
"If you have any news, tell me in time." Xiang Yu had a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Fighting against the "Immortal God of War" Xing Tian is such an exciting thing.
The Overlord's time is running out, and he is increasingly looking forward to an unparalleled showdown to show his unparalleled style.
Lin Xiao agreed and continued on his way. An empty small village appeared in front of him, and the villagers had completely evacuated.
The scenery all around is beautiful, the mountains are green, and the gentle breeze ripples on the lake in the distance.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this place has absolutely nothing to do with "murderous aura". The village is even famous as a longevity village and is regarded as a geomantic treasure.
But in Lin Xiao's perception, murderous aura surged from the bottom of the lake, seeming to dye the entire lake blood red.
Lin Xiao felt awe-struck and alert.
I think it was because of the murderous aura at the bottom of the lake that kept monsters and evil spirits away from them, hence the name "Longevity Village".
Next to the lake, a Kaji team was stationed here and set up a tent.
The tent was opened, and Lu Lingqiu, who was wearing leather armor, walked out to greet Lin Xiao who was coming.
"Lord Lin Xiao." Lu Lingqiu glanced at the lake and explained the current situation, "According to the investigation of the divers, the lake is bottomless. The depth is conservatively estimated to be more than two thousand meters. The strategy of draining the lake water cannot be adopted."
"The current preliminary plan is for me to lead several high-level card masters to conduct deep underwater investigations."
Lin Xiao thought of the 'water-avoiding beads' he obtained from Feng Boyu Master and said:
"Don't worry, let me try it."
A water-repellent bead as blue as the sea and as clear as the sea appeared in his hand. Lin Xiao stood in front of the lake and poured power into the water-repellent bead.
The water-repellent bead is like a blue gem, releasing a bright blue beam of light that cuts through the lake in the center.
Boom!!
It was like the thunder exploded, the jade mountain collapsed, and the lake surface surged like it was boiling.
In an instant, the big waves roared and separated to both sides, opening up a deep trench in the center of the lake!
The faces of all the card masters present were shocked, and there was a sense of awe in their eyes when they looked at Lin Xiao.
Lu Lingqiu's eyes flickered, and he looked towards the trench seriously, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
A mountain appeared below the large lake about two thousand meters deep, and the entrance to the mountain was even deeper!
The strong murderous aura soared into the sky, capable of killing people thousands of miles away. The card masters present were trembling, their faces were pale, and some of the weak-willed ones even started to vomit.
The vicissitudes of life... This is the legendary mountain of Changyang where Xingtian is buried!
"You should retreat one kilometer away first. If there is any movement, then move further away."
Lin Xiao said in a deep voice: "I'll go down alone to explore first."
Xingtian's weakness is obvious, that is, he can only move within the confines of Changyang Mountain.
If you can't defeat Xing Tian, then leave the battle immediately...
When it comes to escaping, Lin Xiao is a professional!
