When the list came out, Lin Chuan smiled bitterly, with a hint of resignation.
"Senior Brother Ming, I may have made it this far." He whispered, "I was beaten by Sister Lingwei in the academy, and I probably won't be able to beat him here."
Qin Tiexin said nothing and only patted him on the shoulder.
Lin Chuan went up anyway. He took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage, the hem of his clothes being lifted by the wind.
Lan Lingwei is the first person of the Supreme Splendor Academy's generation. Foundation Establishment Peak Stage's body, cultivation, and fighting consciousness are all superior to Lin Chuan's.
The ice element and water element Law Technique in one hand were superb, ice edge, water dragon, Cold Qi, layer by layer, and most of the arena was frozen to a white ground. The stage was covered with a thin layer of ice, Cold Qi filled the air, and even the audience in the front row couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly.
The long sword Lin Chuan was unsheathed, and the soft sword Azure Ribbon was also used.
The sword's light was like a drill, drawing cracks on the ice. But the gap was there. He rushed back several times and was swept back by the Lan Lingwei water flow. The water flow was like a giant python turning over, pushing him back several steps with his sword. The sword edge was three feet away from him, and it was difficult to move forward.
Looking at the stormy sky on the stage, Qin Tiexin suddenly thought of Li Yun.
All in all, it has been almost half a year since I came to Heavenly South Domain. I don't know how Li Yun is doing in Wind and Snow Pass. That goodbye in the wind and snow seems like yesterday.
He recovered his mind. On the stage, Lan Lingwei a stream of water rolled up, and the water dragon roared towards Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was unsteady on his feet and was rushed out of the ring. His body turned half a circle in the air and landed heavily on the ground under the stage. He stood firm under the stage, patted the broken ice on his robe, raised his hands to Lan Lingwei, and admitted defeat.
Lan Lingwei won, Lin Chuan stopped in the top 16.
Lin Chuan walked back, his face was not very depressed, just a little exhausted.
"I tried my best," he said, rubbing his frozen hands.
"Well played." Qin Tiexin said.
In the last two games, the winners were Chen Du and Xiao Yan.
Chen Du's opponent is a monk who is good at defense. He is wearing high-grade armor, covering him from head to toe, and his aura is layered like an iron can.
But Chen Du was too fast. In a flash, he had disappeared on the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already behind him.
The monk defended with all his strength, and the armor aura shone to the extreme. However, Chen Du came around behind him and broke the armor aura with a sword. The sword tip hit between the gaps in the armor, and the aura shattered like foam.
The monk was defeated, but did not get up immediately. Only then did everyone see that the wound on his shoulder turned black, and the blood that flowed out turned dark purple, and fell to the ground drop by drop, emitting a very faint green smoke.
Poison Blade.
Star Selection Bureau's medical cultivator rushed up and carried the man away. When he was taken away, the monk's lips were purple and he was unconscious.
Qin Tiexin frowned.
Is poison allowed in the arena? It's not stated clearly in the rules.
But the sword was so poisonous that if it weren't for the body-protecting robe, that person might not even be able to save his life.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that when Chen Du came off the stage, he glanced in his direction. There was a hint of hostility in his eyes, which was very light and fleeting.
Qin Tiexin didn't understand why this person always stared at him.
Xiao Yan In this game, winning was still so strange.
Before the competition, no one thought that Xiao Yan could go far. She was Foundation Establishment Late Stage who had just been promoted before Secret Realm Trial, and she was the spoiled second lady of Xiao Residence. Many people believed that she would not pass the first round.
But now, she has entered the top eight.
The opponent's strength is indeed weaker, this is a fact. But Qin Tiexin can clearly see that Xiao Yan's Buddhist martial arts are more than a little better than before.
The palm technique is more stable, the Buddha's light is thicker, and there is a hint of magnanimity between her moves. When the wind of her palm sweeps across the table, the Buddha's light spreads out like ripples, with a Heaviness sense of oppression, completely different from before.
He remembered that in the secret realm, Xiao Wan and Xiao Rou had used the double-body Secret Method. Two souls and two bodies could be combined into one place. Xiao Yan's rapid progress could not really be what he thought.
Qin Tiexin's eyes flashed.
Chen Du, Xiao Yan, he has to be careful about these two people.
The last game, Gu Ting versus Yan Yue.
This is the most watched one today.
Gu Ting, the strongest method of cultivation, the dual cultivation of thunder and fire, Dao of Alchemy is profound.
Yan Yue, the strongest possible physical training, with a body as strong as a mountain, Qi and Blood is astonishing.
In the betting shop before the game, these two people were both favorites to win the championship, and no one expected that they would collide in the 16th and 8th.
Qin Tiexin also sat up straight, crossed his fingers on his knees, and stared at the ring for a moment.
The battle begins, Gu Ting moves first.
Thunder Light Technique struck first, and several Lightning hit the head, the silvery white light was dazzling and blinding.
Yan Yue Qi Gang was possessed, and he didn't dodge or dodge. He took a few blows forcefully. There were only a few scorch marks on his body, and his skin and flesh were rolled up, but he didn't even frown.
He brandished two short halberds and rushed towards Gu Ting with long strides. Every time he took a step, the table shook three times, as if a wild bull was charging.
Gu Ting stepped on his foot, and the thunder element Movement Method activated, and his body was so fast that the afterimage was pulled out.
Yan Yue rushes fast, and he retreats quickly, always separated by a distance of three to four feet. Fire crows, fire lotus, and thunder light, one after another Law Technique smashed out as if they were free, and most of the arena was covered by thunder and fire.
Flame intertwined with the lightning, burning the table red, and the air was scorched and distorted.
Yan Yue couldn't get past it, so he tried another method.
He retracted the short halberd in his right hand and struck out with a palm in the air. The air palm separated from the body and chased Gu Ting with a sound of breaking through the air. The strong wind of the palm plowed a shallow ditch on the table.
Gu Ting frowned and dodged sideways. The air palm flew past the corner of his clothes and hit the table, creating a shallow crater and splashing gravel.
Yan Yue relies on this hand to block the air, forcing Gu Ting not to dare to stay in one position for too long.
Gu Ting was not in a hurry, he interspersed several powerful thunder fires between the small Law Technique, and looked for Yan Yue's opportunity to make a sneak attack.
A bolt of lightning struck Yan Yue's back, splitting his skin and flesh; a fire lotus exploded under Yan Yue's feet, and flames rose.
But Yan Yue didn't even hum, gritted his teeth and continued rushing.
The two of them went from a quick attack to a protracted battle.
An hour passed, and Yan Yue's robe was in shreds, with strips of cloth hanging on his body, exposing his charred skin.
The short halberd on his right arm was blown away by a bolt of lightning. The short halberd flipped several times in the air and was stuck on the ground in the distance. His right arm was hanging by his side, completely Paralysis, and his fingertips were twitching slightly.
His whole body was blackened and he was panting like an ox, but his eyes were still fixed on Gu Ting, and his fighting spirit was not diminished at all.
Gu Ting isn't much better either.
He was hit in the calf by a Yan Yue halberd, his robe was torn, his skin and flesh were rolled, and his speed was greatly reduced; he was also hit in the back by an air palm, Qi and Blood surged, his face turned pale, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
The two of them just spent it like this.
After nearly an hour, Yan Yue finally couldn't hold on any longer.
He knelt down on one knee and smashed his knee on the charred countertop. He tried to stand up again, but his legs failed him. After trying twice, he fell to the ground.
Gu Ting stood in the distance and stared at him for a few breaths. His fingers were trembling slightly, and his spiritual power was about to bottom out.
He raised his hand and added the weakest Lightning Strike Technique.
The lightning fell, as thin as a finger, and hit Yan Yue's body. Yan Yue's body only twitched, and it seemed that he was really unconscious.
Gu Ting then breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, facing up to the sky, his chest rising and falling violently.
The referee came forward to check, confirmed that Yan Yue was unconscious and had lost his fighting ability, and declared Gu Ting the winner.
There was thunderous applause in the stands, as long as the tide.
Qin Tiexin watched this scene from beginning to end and had some concerns in his mind.
Gu Ting wins because he has sufficient spiritual power. Yan Yue rushes too hard in the early stage, consumes too much, and cannot sustain his power in the second half.
If you encounter this kind of practice, you cannot learn Yan Yue. You must first use Blood Qi Heavy Abyss to control the opponent's actions. Once you can't control it, or you fail to get up close, you must save every ounce of spiritual power and Qi and Blood and be prepared for a protracted war.
This game was the longest and most exciting game today.
After the show ended, there were still many people talking. Even when they walked out of the school grounds, they were still gesturing with the air-throwing palm of Yan Yue.
The review is over and the top eight are officially announced.
Fu Qingge, Xiao Zhenyue, Xie Chen, Mingjue, Lan Lingwei, Chen Du, Xiao Yan, Gu Ting.
As long as nothing goes wrong in the final challenge, these eight people will basically be in the top ten.
Star Selection Bureau officials came forward and were about to announce the end of the show when Prince Chen Xiao suddenly stood up.
He took a jade vase from the attendant, walked down the high platform, and came to the front of the eight people. The jade vase was completely white, with Spirit Rune flowing around it, making it obvious at first glance that it was not ordinary.
He poured out the elixir from the bottle with his own hands, and each person got one. The elixir was completely pale silver, with starlight flowing on the surface. As soon as he took it out, a sweet medicinal fragrance spread out and filled the surroundings. After taking a sip, he felt relaxed.
"Star Gentleness Pill, a third-level recovery elixir." The prince's voice was smooth and gentle, as gentle as jade. "It has miraculous effects on spiritual power, Qi and Blood, and physical injuries. Take it and you will be well."
Gu Ting took it and turned it over in his hand to look at it. He was already practicing Alchemist. When he saw this elixir, the tiredness in his eyes became lighter by three points, as if he had seen a treasure.
"Specially made for the royal family, you can't see it outside." Gu Ting whispered, with a hint of sigh in his tone, "Good stuff."
Qin Tiexin put Star Gentleness Pill in the palm of his hand. The pills were warm and moist, and there was a faint spiritual light flowing through his fingertips. He saluted the prince, who nodded slightly and turned back to the high platform.
Everyone took the elixir and went back to their rooms to adjust their breath.
The battle between the semi-finals was probably even more intense than today.
