Facts have proved that his idea is still too naive.
Because at this time, a gray-haired old man appeared in the center of the martial arts field. After introducing himself as coming from the Qishang Sword Academy, he loudly announced the rules of the second round of competition.
It was not at all like Li Kezhou thought, a group of three people fighting in a ring, but a "challenge" method.
Anyone ranked outside the top 100 will have a chance to challenge and compete for the top 100. In the end, when no one can compete anymore, the top 100 seat will be established.
After the old man explained the rules, the whole place exploded.
"There is not much suspense about this Baigui. It is better to just choose the top 100. After all, this number 100 was obtained by means, and the strength has been certified!"
"That's right! The first hundred people can occupy this position among the six hundred people fighting, which has already proven their strength!"
"Stupid! Is the Sifang Holy Land more stupid than you? If it's really as simple as you say, what's the point of the existence of this Hundred-Kui Blood Ring?"
"Dragon Vein Corridor! I have heard long ago that it was a big melee. It cannot be ruled out that there are people who are indifferent to fame and fortune and don't care about these so-called rankings. They simply did not fight with all their strength."
"Furthermore, what kind of place is Dragon Vein? Three months of training there is equivalent to several years of training outside. If you missed a move three months ago, you will be unable to win three months later!
"
When someone makes a sound analysis, everyone in the audience nods in agreement.
In the center of the battlefield, the old man said again: "Those who have captured the top 100 numbers before are tentatively designated as the top 100 leaders, and the 200 people in the back row, as long as there are those who think they can win the battle, they can choose one of their opponents."
war!"
Upon hearing this rule, some of the three hundred contestants felt secretly in their hearts.
Many people's thoughts are exactly the same as what Li Kezhou thought before.
But hearing the real rules made some people who were taking chances completely give up their thoughts.
Because if they were to compete in groups of three as they thought, there would be a lot of luck involved, and it was very likely that the top ten players would be eliminated early in a strong duel.
By the same token, some people at the bottom of the list can defeat the same bottom players and enter the top 100. This is obviously not in line with the original intention of the Four Directions Holy Land to select disciples.
After the rules were promulgated, everyone was lucky enough to disappear, and everything could only rely on strength.
"The time has come! The second round of the Holy Selection, the Hundred Blood Competition has officially begun..."
Following the old man's order, the whole place fell silent.
Tens of thousands of people turned to look at the three hundred competitors in the field.
Among the three hundred people, no one looked relaxed.
Those who are already among the hundred are proposing others to challenge, while those who are after the hundred are thinking hard about who can challenge them to make the final decision.
Not surprisingly, everyone set their sights on the person currently ranked 100th.
This is also the perception of most people.
This person is ranked 100th. In theory, this person should be the weakest among the top 100 people.
"Whoosh..."
One person raised his body and jumped into the field.
This person entered the scene and attracted the attention of thousands of people. He showed a proud smile and said loudly: "I am Yiyun, son of Sword Emperor Sichuan South, to challenge the master No. 99!"
This person originally planned to say "No. 100", but when the words came to his mouth, he felt the attention of everyone in the audience, and felt that he had lost face by saying "No. 100", so he changed his tune temporarily.
The referee is still the old man from Qishang Sword Academy.
This person seemed to know these three hundred people well. Seeing this person appear, he nodded and said: "Yiyun, He Xiao, ranked No. 148 and No. 99! You have the right to avoid the battle, but you will
It will be punished by defeat, and your two rankings will also be exchanged..."
Then He Xiao didn't talk nonsense at all. Without saying a word, he suddenly appeared in the field.
This person can kill a group of enemies and occupy the 100th room. There is no doubt about his strength.
This man was also a proud man. As soon as he appeared, he closed his eyes.
He said in a calm voice: "Are you Yiyun? I have heard about you. Your father, the Sword Emperor of Southern Sichuan, has a sword technique with the word "Sichuan", which is somewhat famous in the world. And I heard that you imitated your father and created a "
Yi' word sword technique..."
Hearing that he was being treasured by the other party, Yiyun couldn't stop laughing.
"Not bad!!" He spoke concisely and nodded heavily.
He Xiao closed his eyes and held his sword: "Very good! Today I will fight you with my eyes closed. If you can force me to open my eyes, you will win today!"
"What! I'll kill you, you crazy guy."
Yiyun didn't expect that after being exposed by the opponent, he would be scorned immediately. He was so angry that he picked up his sword and killed him.
Li Kezhou was watching with interest when a woman's voice sounded next to him.
"It seems that Yiyun doesn't know the details of He Xiao across from him!"
Hearing this voice, Li Kezhou turned his head and saw a flawless face.
"Does Miss Xue know?"
Xue Dingyin looked at the field, ignored him, and said to himself: "This He Xiao does not look down upon Yiyun. This man has learned the swordsmanship from the six-armed blind man. The blind man can tell the position by listening to the wind with one hand. He is unique in the world. This man is unique in the world."
A person is three times stronger with his eyes closed than with his eyes open..."
When Li Kezhou heard that this woman was so knowledgeable, he looked at her meaningfully.
At this time, the battle in the field has begun.
Although Yiyun is crazy, he has an extraordinary background and high enough qualifications. His self-created sword technique with the word "乂" is indeed somewhat powerful.
Every time this person draws a sword, it must be two swords, one left and one right, forming a "Y" sword aura.
The way ordinary people swing their swords this way will inevitably cause the sword energy to flow in tandem, and the word "Y" will disappear.
But when this person used it, although the two swords were not swung out at the same time, the words were formed instantly.
Although this method of superimposing sword energy cannot achieve twice the attack of sword energy, it is far from what one sword energy can achieve.
Xue Dingyin nodded slightly: "This Yiyun is indeed very talented. The Southern Sichuan Sword Emperor's Sword Art with the Sichuan character was only achieved in the past ten years. The three qi are unified and the power is doubled. This Yiyun has received the true inheritance from his father. I didn't expect that at such an age, he can
After understanding the mystery of the superposition of sword energy, the world is indeed crouching tiger, hidden dragon..."
Li Kezhou didn't say much and continued to look at the field.
He Xiao's sword energy was indeed inferior to Shang Yiyun's "幂" sword in terms of power alone, and he fell into a passive position from the beginning.
But this person has a kind of judgment that outsiders cannot understand.
Even if the opponent's sword energy is stronger than his, he is like a fish swimming in the water. No matter what the opponent does, he can always make a judgment one moment and escape safely the next moment.
For a while, the two fell into a brief stalemate!
Li Kezhou looked at it for a while and nodded slightly: "Calling these two geniuses is not an insult. Although the power of the sword moves is limited, you can still see the unique subtleties of each!"
He thought to himself, if he knew the subtle origin of Yiyun's "幂" sword, his Kunlun Broken Sword, if the two swords were combined into one, would not be as powerful as the God of Death.
(There are thousands of swordsmanships in the world, and each swordsmanship has its own subtlety. There is no strength or weakness in swordsmanship, only people have strengths and weaknesses. No wonder the world's outstanding people flock to this holy land in all directions!)
Li Kezhou became more enlightened at this moment.
The Holy Land of the Four Directions is the place where all the swordsmanship in the world gathers. Here you can learn the swordsmanship that you can never touch outside in your lifetime, perfect what you have learned, and sublimate your swordsmanship.
If he came to Shenlan before and worshiped the Frost Sword Academy for the "Reverse Scale of the Sword" mentioned by ancestor Ziji, then when he saw geniuses from all walks of life displaying their unique skills, he found the right place to worship him.
The Qishang Sword Academy has another important purpose.
"On the way to swordsmanship, if you work behind closed doors, there will be no future. Only by integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought can you suddenly realize a stronger swordsmanship. This was also the ultimate goal of the white-robed swordsman who founded the Frost Sword Academy!"
Xue Dingyin saw the two people fighting in the field and said as if talking to himself.
The fight has passed over a cup of tea.
The competition is finally coming to an end!
Although Yiyun's sword energy was strong, the opponent's "Listen to the Wind to Discern Position" was too strong. He swung no less than a hundred swords, and most of them were slashed in the air without hurting the opponent at all.
On the other hand, He Xiao rarely used powerful killing moves and always used the lowest cost to wear down the opponent's sword energy.
As time passed, Yiyun's sword energy was greatly depleted and its killing power weakened.
Seeing that the opponent was in a weak position, He Xiao's tactics began to show. One was at the end of a powerful attack, and the other was just after the attack was launched. The outcome was soon clear.
In the end, Yiyun was fingered to the throat and defeated.
"Accepted!"
As he said, He Xiao did not open his eyes from beginning to end, and finally defeated the opponent, and then opened his eyes with a smile.
Although Yiyun was unwilling in his heart, he also had no temper. Although he thought he was stronger than the opponent, there was nothing he could do. No matter how powerful his moves were, it would be in vain if he couldn't kill the opponent.
Moreover, the opponent was obviously merciful and did not hurt him intentionally. This person was not ignorant, so he thanked him and walked out of the ring without saying a word!
With reference, you will have the confidence to take action.
Some people who thought they were far from Yiyun's opponents knew their own weight almost instantly, and He Xiao was only No. 99.
And some people who thought they were far better than Yiyun, when they saw He Xiao's method, they didn't take it seriously and directly ignored it and challenged the masters with higher rankings.
Challengers take action one after another.
Na He Xiao competed three times, but was finally defeated by a master ranked 108th, and fell out of the top 100.
As for the others, the highest challenge was to number 68, and it ended in failure. As for numbers 68 and above, no one had the courage to challenge it.
"Huh? This woman finally took action!"
Li Kezhou saw a familiar face with a smile on his face.
"Who is this person? Why don't I recognize her? Do you know her?"
Xue Dingyin is a well-informed swordsman in the world, and he prides himself on knowing most of them.
But he had no impression of the woman who had just appeared. After hearing Li Kezhou's words, he subconsciously asked.
Li Kezhou glanced at her and said with a smile: "Xue Zhu, the best swordsman in the world, can create the all-encompassing "Shenlan Sword Manual" and must be very knowledgeable about swordsmanship in the world. Miss Xue is a famous teacher and disciple, but there are many
People I know, if your master knew this, he would be furious..."
Xue Dingyin glanced at him with a cold face: "I don't know swords, and I don't know people. My relationship with that old ghost is only a master and apprentice in name only. I don't even bother to explain to you..."
Li Kezhou smiled and answered his question.
"This woman has an extraordinary origin. She is the descendant of Shengying Taoist. The Shengying Sword Qi he wields has no fixed form and is quite mysterious!"
Hearing the name "Taoist Shengying", a look of anger flashed in the woman's eyes.
"No wonder...no wonder I didn't know there was such a woman. She turned out to be the apprentice of that old ghost and old sweetheart. This is the reason why he never mentioned it to me."
She whispered to herself, looking at the woman in the field, her face changing uncertainly, and she didn't know what she was planning.
Li Kezhou was so close that he naturally heard what she was saying to himself. He couldn't help but be startled, and secretly began to speculate about the relationship between Xue Dingyin and Xue Zhu.
Because if it was just a master-disciple relationship, Xue Dingyin should never say such things.
