None of the young masters who can enter the top 40 are fools. On the contrary, they are all very smart. Otherwise, they would not have been able to break through to such a level that catches up with them at such a young age, or even surpass the cultivation realm of the older generation of strong men.
Among the young masters who are not currently listed in the top 20, the worst ones have cultivation levels at the peak of the seventh heaven, and most of them have even reached the eighth heaven.
But they know very well that the current situation is very complicated.
The fact that they don't challenge Wu Tian doesn't mean that they don't dare to challenge, but because 7 people have already participated in the challenge.
The more people challenge Wu Tian, the more complicated the group battle will become.
Moreover, the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to be targeted. In such a situation, even if you rely on your tyrannical cultivation level to win in the end, it is destined to be a tragic victory.
The most important thing is that the sudden change in the competition system caught them off guard.
The current situation is very simple. After a melee, it is likely that you will have only a short time, or even no time to recover from your injuries.
As a result, in the next challenge, when facing Wu Tian, whose cultivation level is not weaker than that of ordinary first-class masters, in a less than full state, it will inevitably be a little stretched.
Ying Tian waited for a while, but when no one responded, he immediately announced: "Zhu Lang, Qi Tianhe, Song Ping, Meng Furong, Zhang Tianyi, Li Sha, and Sikong Mingcheng, seven of you will challenge Wu Tian at the same time. According to the competition The organizing committee stipulates that the seven of you must have a melee first, and the final winner will be qualified to challenge Wu Tian, do you know this?"
"clear!"
Zhu Lang, Qi Tianhe, Song Ping, Meng Furong, Zhang Tianyi, Li Sha, and Sikong Mingcheng shouted yes at the same time. At the same time, the eyes of the seven people began to intertwine and gradually became cold. Like a ferocious beast coming out of its cage, it wants to choose people to eat!
"Yunqing, who do you think will win?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Murong Yunqing's ear, which startled her.
After coming back to his senses, Murong Yunqing looked to his side, only to see Ouyang Yuxuan, who was already shamelessly approaching him.
Although she did not reject Ouyang Yuxuan, she was not very cold either. Because she had the experience of being saved by him in Shennongjia, it was not easy for Murong Yunqing to get angry when facing Ouyang Yuxuan.
But looking at this guy's smile that bloomed like a chrysanthemum, Murong Yunqing couldn't help but feel speechless.
She knew very well that this guy had the same virtues as Mr. Lianhua, and he was the kind of person with a face as good as a city wall. If she didn't do something, I'm afraid his face that looked like a chrysanthemum blooming would probably stick directly to her body. .
Thinking of this, Murong Yunqing couldn't help feeling disgusted, and immediately took a step sideways, narrowly avoiding the brilliant chrysanthemum.
"Senior Ouyang, please pay attention to your words and deeds. Such actions may damage the face of the four major families!"
Murong Yunqing was also unambiguous. Although he and Ouyang Yuxuan had the friendship of classmates, when it came to the relationship between men and women, they were still too far apart.
What's more, today's Murong Yunqing is no longer the little white sheep who knew nothing. Murong Yuxuan also knows about Ouyang Yuxuan's style and reputation in the entire Chinese spiritual world, and he also knows about it. Not approved.
Therefore, when I saw Ouyang Yuxuan acting like this in public, I was a little angry for a while.
"Ahem!"
Seeing Murong Yunqing's reaction, Ouyang Yuxuan could only laugh twice, and immediately changed the subject: "Murong classmate, look at them, who is more likely to win?"
Murong Yunqing was too lazy to continue arguing with Ouyang Yuxuan, and said directly: "It's useless for anyone to win, they can't be Wu Tian's opponent. Not to mention that the person who wins in the end is likely to be seriously injured, even if he is in peak condition,
Even if they all unite to fight Wu Tian, the outcome is still uncertain!"
Murong Yunqing's words were very certain, and there was no hesitation or hesitation in his tone.
In fact, she did think so.
Although Wu Tian
He only has the cultivation level of the Seventh Heavenly Peak, and even compared to other seed players, his performance in the group stage was not outstanding.
But Murong Yunqing didn't think that Wu Tian was as simple as what he saw on the surface.
When he first entered Kunlun, Wu Tian even caused Xing Yu a big loss. The power of the three-headed hell dog and Wu Tian's weird and unpredictable methods are still fresh in Murong Yunqing's memory.
Furthermore, the organizing committee of the Elite Sword Forum is a group of mature guys. Since those people have designated Wu Tian as a seed player, even though he is only the last one, as a seed player, Wu Tian must have abilities beyond the ordinary eighth level.
The strength or means of the strong in the early days of heaven.
Otherwise, as the tenth seeded player, Wu Tian, if he does not have comparable strength, would be a direct slap in the face of the entire competition organizing committee.
Looking back at the arena, 4 of the 7 people are strong in the early stages of the eighth heaven, while the other three are only at the peak of the seventh heaven.
The cultivation levels of the four people are almost the same, which means that in a group battle, the battle between the seven people will be more intense than imagined, and the final winner wants to escape unscathed and continue at his peak state.
Challenge, almost impossible.
Therefore, taking these two aspects together, in Murong Yunqing's view, although Wu Tian's challenge has not yet begun, the outcome is already doomed!
"Wu Tian will win!"
Murong Yunqing didn't even look at Ouyang Yuxuan, he just looked at the seven people on the field who were about to start the battle, then glanced at Wu Tian on the other side, and directly gave the most affirmative answer.
Hearing Murong Yunqing's affirmative answer, Ouyang Yuxuan's expression froze for a moment. The blooming chrysanthemum was frozen on his face, which made him feel as embarrassed as possible.
At this moment, the melee on the field finally began.
Zhu Lang, Qi Tianhe, Song Ping, and Meng Furong all reached the early stage of the eighth heaven. At the moment when the melee started, the four of them seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and they moved at lightning speed.
Taking action, Zhang Tianyi, Li Sha, and Sikong Mingcheng were shot down from the stage in just an instant.
The worst thing was Sikong Mingcheng. At the beginning of the sword discussion, he was attacked by Zhu Lang and Song Ping at the same time. Although his combat power was stronger than Zhang Tianyi and Li Sha, Xiu Xiu
Wei was still at the pinnacle of the Seventh Heaven. Faced with the attacks of two first-rate masters, he didn't even have a chance to resist and was killed on the spot.
Murong Yunqing looked at the battle on the field without showing any dissatisfaction. In this elite sword discussion meeting, she had already seen too much cruelty and too much life and death.
The world of spiritual practice is originally a world of the weak and the strong. In this world, only the strong can control their own destiny.
Although she was a little disgusted with this kind of killing, in the final analysis, the defeats of Zhang Tianyi, Li Sha, and Sikong Mingcheng were simply their own fault. The challenge was not mandatory. Since she ran out and joined the melee, she should be held responsible for her actions.
Responsible.
As he was thinking about it, Murong Yunqing suddenly trembled all over, and cold sweat began to flow uncontrollably.
When did my attitude towards life become so indifferent? Is it possible that I have really become cold-blooded? Is the person I am now really the same person I was before?
Thinking of this, Murong Yunqing even began to tremble uncontrollably. Thinking of the scenes he had experienced over the years, Murong Yunqing suddenly discovered that sometimes, the so-called experience can really become a kind of poison.
Now that we are so far away, we have unconsciously forgotten why we set out in the first place?
The experiences along the way have turned into my own experience, and the accumulation of experience has allowed me to grow.
But this experience, at the same moment, also erodes the original intention, the original kindness, and even the previous bonds and ambitions.
For a moment, Murong Yunqing suddenly began to regret and regret entering the ranks of practitioners.
The ordinary life I once had, although not rich, was very fulfilling.
And what about your current life? If you think about it carefully, besides practicing, it’s all about fighting.
Then it’s time to heal, then continue practicing in seclusion and continue fighting. Is this kind of life really meaningful? How long have you been without your parents? How long have you not truly let yourself go?
Not only are my parents well now? I wonder how many fruits the loquat tree in the yard at home has produced? I wonder how much more withered the spider plant on the wall of the yard has grown?
Murong Yunqing was silent. She had been constantly urging herself to become stronger, but in the process, she gradually lost herself in the pursuit of strength.
Maybe it was that time, that battle between Chen's Auction House on Immortal Island, Mad God Yuan Zhantian and many powerful men from the Holy Palace.
That battle was her enlightenment battle for spiritual practice, but at the same time, it was also after that that Murong Yunqing began to have an almost obsessive obsession with power.
But what about the reality? Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Although my strength has improved significantly, what have I lost while gaining strength?
Murong Yunqing was stunned because she suddenly discovered that it had been nearly four years since she awakened her powers.
In the past four years, I have been pursuing the so-called power, just to realize my original dream of grudges and swordsmanship. But how much of that original dream is left now?
At this time, has my persistence in power turned into indifference towards life?
If one day, I really stand at the highest point in the world of cultivation and join the legendary ranks of the strongest, at that time, how much of my original intention of fighting the sword in the world will be left?
For a moment, Murong Yunqing suddenly realized that he didn't know whether everything he was doing now was right or wrong? Is what he insisted on worth it? He didn't even know how he should take the future.
Confused, helpless, at a loss...
A feeling of confusion filled Murong Yunqing's whole mind. At this moment, Murong Yunqing felt that his thoughts had become muddy. He no longer had any expectations for his future, and even had a vague feeling.
The emotion of fear.
Murong Yunqing was very afraid that at some point in the future, she would be completely lost and lose her original intention!
"hehe."
At this moment, a chuckle came from the side. This voice seemed to have some unknown mystery, which pulled Murong Yunqing's spirit out of his countless thoughts.
Murong Yunqing turned around and saw a person standing beside him at some point.
This person is none other than Dugu Sheng!
"What, are you worried?"
Dugu Sheng met Murong Yunqing's gaze and did not dodge at all. He just smiled and spoke. His tone was very soft, like a whisper. When heard in the ears of others, there was no trace of disgust.
Murong Yunqing snorted coldly and turned her head. Although Dugu Sheng's voice did not disturb her, Dugu Sheng's smile made her feel very uncomfortable.
In her opinion at this time, Dugu Sheng's smile was simply more disgusting than Ouyang Yuxuan's chrysanthemum.
Facing this smile, Murong Yunqing always felt as if he had been completely seen through, as if at this moment, Dugu Sheng was an elder and she was an ignorant child.
This feeling made Murong Yunqing speechless and helpless!
When Dugu Sheng saw Murong Yunqing turning his head, he was not angry. He took a step forward and stood side by side with Murong Yunqing. He looked at the battle on the ring and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
, said in a low voice: "Yun Qing, what do you think the purpose of practice is?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yunqing was stunned.
Four years have passed since the day she awakened her powers. During these four years, she has been doing her best to improve her cultivation, but she has never thought about this.
question.
For a moment, being asked so directly by Dugu Sheng, I didn't know how to answer.
