Li Xiuchang looked around and saw that there were slightly more first-order Soul Master people coming to compete, exactly twelve.
There are only five people in the second level Soul Master.
Just like what Senior Brother Wang Long said, as long as you sign up to participate, you will basically get rewards.
If those talisman masters saw this, they would really cry with envy.
There is nothing we can do about it, Soul Master itself is rare.
It was only a year ago that the sect announced that it would support unpopular skills. Within a year, even if someone wanted to learn the soul-controlling skills, it was difficult to get started and there was no time to compete.
The referee also announced the rules of the first event at this time.
The first competition event is Ghost Capturing.
The sect will give each person eight First-tier malevolent spirit and one second-level ghost. The eight First-tier malevolent spirit can move freely and have combat capabilities. The second-level ghost is controlled and has no combat ability.
After the game starts, they have a quarter of an hour to conquer these ghosts.
However, you cannot use any foreign objects, including but not limited to magic weapons, talismans, Spirit Pet, etc.
You can't rely on Cultivation Level's advantage or physical training strength, and you won't even be allowed to use spells.
Only Soul Master special spells can be used.
To put it simply, we must rely on our hard power as Soul Master to fight against and capture these ghosts.
Each First-tier malevolent spirit captured counts as one point. After capturing all eight ghosts, it only counts eight points.
That second-level ghost counts as two points.
Although the second-level ghost is in a controlled state and cannot attack, it is not easy for the first-level Soul Master to subdue this second-level ghost.
All the other eight First-tier malevolent spirit must be solved first.
Otherwise, there will be interference from First-tier malevolent spirit and you will not be able to concentrate.
The referee said, "Because there are too few participants, the sect has decided to hold the first-level and second-level Soul Master competitions together, and then rank them separately in the end. Let the second-level Soul Master players also come on stage to prepare for the competition."
It can still be like this... the sect can also save trouble.
The competition items and rules for the second-level Soul Masters are no different from those of the first-level Soul Masters. The only difference is that the ghosts they want to conquer are one level higher, which are the second- and third-level ghosts.
Li Xiuchang The other contestants are in their respective positions, and everyone enters their own competition area - a closed space separated by formations.
In the space, Li Xiuchang had already seen eight First-tier malevolent spirits baring their teeth and claws at him, but they were isolated by the formation.
There is also a second-level ghost sealed in the corner.
He waited quietly for the game to begin.
As a result, an hour passed...
The sect plans to wait until all preparations for the competition are completed before starting the competition together.
All personnel are now in place at all competition venues... except for the Fu Dao Blessed Competition.
There is no way, there are too many Talisman Masters coming to compete!
After finally waiting for all participating Talisman Masters to register, the competition officially started.
The sect removed the Law Enforcement Hall disciples who were blocking the surroundings, and the spectators came forward in a swarm, each choosing the game they wanted to watch.
It can be clearly seen that the "Fu Dao Blessed Contest" has the largest number of spectators in front of the arena.
As for the Soul Master competition, the number of viewers is as low as the number of contestants.
Li Xiuchang doesn't care about these and only focuses on the game in front of him.
With the referee's order, the game begins!
The eight First-tier malevolent spirits restricted by the formation set off gusts of dark wind and rushed towards Li Xiuchangs.
Among Li Xiuchang's few combat experiences, most of them were fighting against ghosts. He had been besieged by Paw Patrol Malevolent Spirits before. Now, facing a mere eight First-tier malevolent spirit, his expression remained calm and as steady as a rock.
He raised his hand and shot out a series of soul-controlling spells: Soul Breaking Arrow, soul-binding net, soul-locking chain, soul-fixing spell...
Not to mention these First-tier malevolent spirit, even if he released the second-level ghost together, he would also take care of it.
The eight ghosts were all controlled by Li Xiuchang in just a moment.
He began to tie Soul Taming Seal one by one...
Eight ghosts, eight paths Soul Taming Seal, eight points obtained.
Li Xiuchang then walked towards the second-level ghost that was sealed in the corner.
It is still difficult for the first-level Soul Master to conquer the second-level ghost.
But in this regard, Li Xiuchang is also experienced.
Before he became the first-level Soul Master, he forcibly conquered the second-level ghost wolf king.
Now it is easy to subdue an immobile second-level ghost.
With another Soul Taming Seal knot, Li Xiuchang successfully completed the Ghost Capturing competition, taking less than three minutes to complete, and I am happy to give you a perfect score.
But behind him, there were others who got full marks one after another.
Just like what Senior Brother Mo said, Ghost Capturing is originally a small path in the soul-controlling skills, and so is Ghost Controlling. Only Ghost Nurturing is the high road.
It is not difficult to reach a high level on the small road. If you want to distinguish yourself, you still have to see the real results on the big road.
And full score is the upper limit of the game, not his upper limit.
There were a total of seventeen first-level and second-level Soul Master players, and only five got full marks in the end.
Then came the second competition event, Ghost Controlling.
The referee announced, "I have a combined attack formation here that can be used by ghosts, called 'Nine Ghost Hidden Kill Formation'. You must use the ghosts you just conquered in the previous round to practice this formation, launch a combined attack, and attack the defensive formation in front of you.
"There will be a total of ten layers of defense formations in front of you. You only have one chance to attack. How many layers of defense formations you can break through will give you points."
Several contestants were hesitant to speak. None of them got full marks in the last round of the competition and did not conquer all nine ghosts. How to practice this "Nine Ghost Hidden Kill Formation"?
As soon as you hear the name, you know that this combined attack formation must be composed of nine ghosts.
The referee glanced at them and said, "Contestants who did not get full marks just now can subdue the remaining ghosts with the help of the sect's sacrifice."
Two outer door offerings flew up from below, both were third-level Soul Master. With their help, all the players concluded Soul Taming Seal with the nine ghosts.
Now, all the players are standing on the same starting line.
The referee distributed Jade Slip recorded with "Nine Ghost Hidden Kill Formation" to everyone and said, "Each of you has half an hour to practice. After half an hour, your practice results will be tested."
Li Xiuchang Divine Sense probed into Jade Slip and took a quick glance to know the approximate level of this battle formation.
Far inferior to his "Yin-Yang Seven Wolves Battle Formation", it is a relatively simple combined attack formation.
After all, they were only given half an hour to practice. If it was really a complicated formation, they wouldn't even be able to practice it in half an hour.
This round of competition will test Soul Master's ability to control and coordinate the ghosts under his opponents. He must control the nine newly conquered ghosts so that they can establish a certain tacit understanding and follow the command to form a battle formation.
This is not a simple matter.
It can be said that it is impossible for the nine ghosts to fully master a battle formation in half an hour.
We can only try our best to practice and come up with a rough idea.
The more mature the practice is and the more tacit cooperation is, the stronger the power that the battle formation can unleash.
Li Xiuchang happens to have experience in this area. After all, he has guided and urged Paw Patrols to practice "Yin-Yang Seven Wolves Battle Formation", and Yin-Yang Seven Wolves Battle Formation is much more complicated than Nine Ghost Hidden Kill Formation.
He immediately released the nine ghosts he had just conquered, but he did not race against time to let them practice battle formations immediately.
Instead, he set his sights on the only second-level ghost among them.
The second-level ghost is the soul of a bull demon. Li Xiuchang's past experience told him that if he wanted to control a group of ghosts, the best way was to control the strongest among them first.
Low-level ghosts are naturally obedient to high-level ghosts that are stronger than themselves.
Moreover, this "Nine Ghost Hidden Kill Formation" is obviously a battle formation with eight auxiliary masters. The strongest second-level ghost is the commander and is allowed to command eight younger brothers. Only those eight younger brothers can fully obey the orders of Main Soul in order to maximize the power of the battle formation.
Li Xiuchang took out the same tactics used to deal with Wangcai and began to provide psychological counseling to the second-level Ox Soul.
"Do you want to be free?"
"I can't give you freedom, but I can teach you how to move toward freedom."
"United strength is great, and when everyone adds fuel, the flames are strong. How can you fight against the brutal Immortal Dust Sect if you rely on yourself alone? You must unite all the forces that can be united!"
"Just like these First-tier malevolent spirit beside you, although they are weak, they can be well controlled by you..."
"Brave Niu Niu, not afraid of difficulties!"
The other contestants were busy manipulating the Yinhun practice battle formation, but only Li Xiuchang was dragging the Yinhun to chatter about something he didn't know what to say.
This relieved those who regarded Li Xiuchang as a strong opponent in the first round. They did not believe that they could practice the battle formation well just by chatting with the ghosts.
But they didn't notice that the light in the eyes of the second-order Ox Soul was getting stronger and stronger, like two burning flames!
Moo!
Ox Soul roared, causing the other eight First-tier malevolent spirit around him to stand together, not daring to move.
Li Xiuchang doesn't have to communicate with the eight First-tier malevolent spirit at all. As long as he teaches Ox Soul how to practice "Nine Ghost Hidden Kill Formation", Ox Soul himself will train his eight younger brothers.
Next, Li Xiuchang completely acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, watching Ox Soul lead his men to practice battle formations.
Under the management of Ox Soul, the eight First-tier malevolent spirit were treated obediently and obediently, and their battle formations became more and more proficient...
This made other contestants look stupid.
They are very busy here, and they have to constantly correct the mistakes of the ghosts. Li Xiuchang is just sitting there looking at the scenery and watching the fun, but the ghosts under him are getting better and better with practice, and they are becoming more and more skilled...
What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into Ox Soul?
"Time's up!"
As the referee shouted, all the ghosts in the ring stopped.
At the same time, in the Li Xiuchang competition area, layers of transparent protective covers suddenly lit up in front.
There are ten floors!
"Next, it's time to test your results. Remember, everyone only has one chance to hit, let's get started!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Li Xiuchang had already ordered Ox Soul to run the combined attack formation. Ox Soul ran wildly towards the ten-layer protective shield in front, followed by eight other ghosts, like eight pendants.
Bang bang bang...
After a series of explosions, all ten layers of protective shields were broken!
