Su Xing, who had practiced the Demon Subduing Sutra to the eighth level, felt that his whole body was full of strength. He stood up and stretched a few times.
The bright sunlight filtering through the cracks in the window told him that his breakthrough had not taken long, and it was only afternoon outside.
"It's better to wander around Arrow City before leaving. There may not be another chance to come here in the future."
Su Xing opened the door and left the house, deciding to see the scene of the city before leaving here.
Walking on the central long street of Arrow City, there were dazzling shops on both sides of the road. There were also many vendors with carts standing on the roadside selling snacks and jewelry. The city was full of worldly atmosphere, which made Su
Xing is greatly missed.
But what made Su Xing feel a little strange was that he noticed that many people were walking forward along Central Street.
"Is there an event taking place in the city today?"
He remembered that when Casterly Rock held events every year, everyone would flock to the same place, so he decided to go with the flow and go to the front to see what was going on.
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Su Xing's vision suddenly opened up. It turned out that at the end of this long street was a huge open space, and on the open space, a huge arena was built.
"Fengyuntai."
Su Xing looked at the stone tablet standing in front of the arena and softly read these three words.
"I didn't expect that the name of the Arrow City Tournament Arena is the same as ours."
Many people who came with him had already walked to the audience seats around the ring in an orderly manner and took their seats.
Su Xing looked up and found a team lining up on the steps to the arena, and in the long queue, he saw two very familiar figures.
He walked over with a smile, patted the taller one on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, Miss Li?"
It turned out that the two people who seemed to be lining up to enter the ring were Li Qiuxiang and Zhu Miao who were going to Pingzhou with Su Xing in two days.
Zhu Miao heard someone calling her name, and looked back with Li Qiuxiang. After seeing Su Xing suddenly appear in front of them, they were surprised and said: "Brother Su Xing, why are you here?"
Su Xing smiled and explained the reason why he came here to the two of them, and then asked them: "I want to ask you, Miss Li has just recovered from a serious illness and still needs to rest her body. I wish you, brother, to bring her here."
What's going on here?"
Zhu Miao scratched her head, looked at her lover, and explained with a smile: "When the two of us were dining at the inn this morning, we overheard someone saying that a martial arts exchange conference would be held in Arrow City this afternoon. I didn't want to come.
It was Qiuxiang who forced me to come."
"I see."
"Hey, by the way, Brother Su, do you want to participate in this exchange conference? I heard that the top three contestants can receive a mid-grade spiritual grass!"
"Mid-grade spiritual grass?"
Su Xing was slightly startled. You must know that a middle-grade spiritual grass placed in a shop can be sold for nearly 10,000 gold coins. Is a simple martial arts exchange meeting worth the Lord of Arrow City spending so much financial resources to hold?
Su Xing couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and shook his head at Zhu Miao, "I'd better watch your performance, Brother Zhu, from the audience, and I won't participate."
"Okay, that's right. With Brother Su's ability, participating in this kind of exchange conference is a bit too low-priced."
The three of them laughed and talked for a while. When someone started calling their names on the stage, Su Xing separated from the two of them and found an empty seat in the auditorium to sit down and prepare to watch the battle.
The exchange meeting soon began. Sixteen contestants competed on stage in pairs. The winner waited for the next round of competition, while the loser was eliminated directly.
Su Xing noticed that most of the martial arts disciples participating in this competition were at the level of Huayuan Realm, from small to high level. Among the sixteen people, only Zhu Miao and another man in gray were at the perfect level of Huayuan Realm. If nothing else,
The final champion should be decided from these two.
The competition started soon, but Su Xing had no interest in watching the duel between a group of weak warriors. If he had just joined the Wanjian Sect, he would have been very interested. But for Su Xing now
In other words, the battle process in the arena seemed too simple.
Time passed by, and Zhu Miao was indeed one of the most powerful contestants among the crowd. He overcame obstacles all the way, and soon reached the final battle of the top four. As long as he won this battle, he would be rewarded with a mid-level prize.
The spiritual grass will be distributed in his hands.
Su Xing glanced sideways, and saw that Li Qiuxiang, who was sitting on the preparation table watching his lover fight, had a proud smile on his face. His beautiful eyes were bent into a thin line, and he looked like he was beaming with joy.
Seeing this scene, Su Xing couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, even in the cruel world of spiritual practice, beautiful love does exist.
"If I hadn't awakened the power of the sword soul, hadn't come to the Phantom Beast Forest, and hadn't stayed there for so long...then Brother Zhu and Miss Li..."
Su Xing shook his head, unwilling to imagine those bad things.
The list of the semi-finals was quickly announced. Unexpectedly, the two most powerful contestants in Su Xing's opinion actually met in the semi-finals in advance.
Under the loud shouts and cheers of the crowd, Zhu Miao and the man in gray walked up from both sides of the ring and bowed their hands to each other.
After the salute, both of them were in a battle-ready posture, waiting for the referee to wave the flag to signal the start of the game.
The entire arena was filled with tension and excitement, and every spectator's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.
After all, this world is still made up of mostly mortals. Even if the people competing in the ring are the lowest-ranking beings in the world of cultivation, people still watch with gusto.
"Which one of them do you think will win?"
A crisp voice suddenly sounded. Su Xing turned around and found a young man of similar age sitting next to him. The young man also looked sideways at him, as if talking to him.
"Are you asking me?" Su Xing asked.
"certainly."
The young man had a delicate face and delicate skin. He had fair skin that was not what ordinary boys should have. He was actually wearing a white mink dress on a warm spring day, and he looked full of femininity at first glance.
"I'm not sure either." Su Xing responded.
"Oh?" The feminine young man smiled, "Don't you know Zhu Miao? How come you don't know much about his strength?"
"Um?"
Su Xing's expression changed, and the look he looked at the other party immediately became surprised.
"Do you know Zhu Miao?"
Unconsciously, Su Xing's voice became colder when he spoke. He had a vague feeling that the other party didn't just want to ask him what he thought about the competition.
"Haha, it doesn't count. By the way, how about we make a bet?"
"bet?"
"Yes," the young man nodded and looked at Su Xing seriously: "You bet that Zhu Miao will win, and I will bet that his opponent will win. If you win the bet, I will give you a medium-grade spiritual grass."
"What if I lose the bet?" Su Xing asked coldly.
"You lost the bet..."
The corner of the young man's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled meaningfully: "I want you to go to Tongzhou in the north with me."
Northern Tongzhou?!
When Su Xing heard these four words, his breath suddenly suffocated and he looked at the other person with wide eyes.
"Why are you going to Tongzhou?"
"Oh? Of course I went there to slay demons. Don't you know what happened there?"
"boom--"
Before the feminine young man finished speaking, there was a huge roar in the ring. Su Xing quickly turned his head, only to see Zhu Miao being punched by the man in gray and flying quickly towards the direction where he was sitting.
"Blessings, brother!"
"Brother Miao!"
Li Qiuxiang shouted in panic, but Su Xing's movements were faster than her voice. He kicked off the ground with both feet, caught Zhu Miao's body in the air, and landed safely on the ring.
"Brother Zhu?"
Su Xing looked at Zhu Miao with a trace of blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth, and called out anxiously.
"Su Xing...ahem..."
Zhu Miao endured the pain and opened her eyes, tremblingly stretched out her finger to point at the man in gray in the distance.
"Su Xing, that man told me that he wants to fight you."
"What? Fight with me?"
"Uh-huh……"
Before Zhu Miao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and passed out.
At this time, Li Qiuxiang, who looked anxious, also rushed to the ring, hugged Zhu Miao, and sobbed softly.
Su Xingxing and Zhu Miao took a pill, then turned to look at the feminine man with a gloomy look. At this time, the man had already stood up from his seat and was looking down at him, his chin slightly raised, his face full of deep meaning.
"If you defeat him, I will tell you what is going on."
As soon as the feminine young man finished speaking, he saw Su Xing pull away and run towards the man in gray.
