"If a race wants to be prosperous for a long time, it must have a steady stream of peerless experts emerging from the race. Otherwise, it will only gradually decline. If the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is like this, how can it not be the same for the human race?" Ling sighed and said slowly.
Looking back on the past, the Xiao clan was one of the eight ancient clans, so glorious and prosperous. However, times have changed, and now they are in a state of abjection.
After hearing Xiao Ling's words, everyone fell into deep thought. How could those present not understand the profound meaning of Xiao Ling's words?
Although the Taixu Ancient Dragon is still famous now, it has long lost its peak power in the past. Thinking back on how high-spirited the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was back then, and how proud they were of facing those ancient races, how could they ever take them seriously? It's a pity that now, compared with the Spirit Clan, which was once the weakest among the seven tribes, it is hard to compare.
As for the colorful sky-swallowing python clan, their past glory is gone. Now only Medusa, the only bloodline continuation, remains alone and independent in this vast world. The prosperity of the past is in sharp contrast with the loneliness of today. One can't help but lament the ruthlessness of the years. Fortune plays tricks on people.
Xiao Ling shook his head gently, forcing his thoughts back to reality from his reverie, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a faint smile, and said softly: "Okay, we don't have to worry about these irrelevant things anymore. Well, the competition is about to start. I guess this Sifange Conference will be quite interesting.”
After hearing this, everyone turned their curious and interested eyes towards the direction of the competition square.
His eyes casually passed over the participating members in the square. When he noticed two familiar figures, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and an interested smile broke out on his face.
Lin Yan and Xiao Yan on the court were always paying attention to Xiao Ling's movements. When they saw Xiao Ling's gaze, they both waved slightly towards Xiao Ling. Their movements were not large and they did not make much noise. .
When Xiao Ling saw this, he nodded slightly and responded with a faint smile, which was regarded as a simple hello.
"Hey, aren't these the direct disciple of Old Man Huo who likes to use door panels, and that Lin Yan! I didn't expect that they would also come to participate in this Sifang Pavilion competition. It's quite surprising."
At this moment, Zi Yan also noticed Xiao Ling's movements, followed his gaze, saw Lin Yan and Xiao Yan, and couldn't help but said with a little surprise.
Qing Lin nodded in agreement. She was not very familiar with Lin Yan, but she had met Xiao Yan many times, so she had some understanding.
"I will be able to meet them then, but now let's take a look at their performance on the field. With their abilities, there is no problem in passing the first round, but to win the championship , I'm afraid the chance is slim." Xiao Ling nodded slightly and said with a calm expression.
In Xiao Ling's perception, Xiao Yan was already at the level of the Seven-Star Dou Huang at this moment, while Lin Yan had reached the level of the Eight-Star Dou Emperor. Xiao Ling was not surprised that Lin Yan could achieve such a level of cultivation.
But on Xiao Yan's side, despite missing so many opportunities as in the original work, he was able to improve his cultivation so quickly. This must be due to the full cultivation of Canaan Academy, and he himself should also be able to improve his cultivation level so quickly. I gained a lot of adventures.
On the square, fifty-four people glanced at each other, and each other's eyes were full of alertness. In such a chaotic situation, whoever can persevere all the way and survive until the end can be said to have won the fruit of victory. However, it should be understood that the harshness and cruelty of this selection process are truly extraordinary.
Only eight of the fifty-four people remain, and four of the places have been firmly occupied by the young leaders of the Four Pavilions. As a result, only four of the remaining fifty people can qualify for this promotion. The fierce competition is evident.
When the tense atmosphere reached an almost unbearable peak, someone finally couldn't hold back and took the lead. One person's actions are like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, naturally triggering a chain reaction.
In an instant, waves of fighting spirit of different colors rushed out like a raging tide, and a thrilling melee began.
At this moment, the scene was completely chaotic. The muffled sound of fighting qi colliding with each other and the crisp sound of swords striking each other are heard one after another.
In such a chaotic situation, although everyone present was not an ordinary person, there were still people who continued to vomit blood and were forced to withdraw from the battle.
The field is too chaotic and disorderly. People often pay attention to the front, but they can't watch behind them. There are hidden enemies in all directions. If you are not careful, a fatal attack will come from the dark place like a shadow.
After all, this kind of conference is a place where swords have no eyesight, and injuries are normal.
If you unfortunately suffer a fatal attack, shout and admit defeat, and follow the rules, and naturally no one will kill you again.
The chaotic situation only lasted for less than ten minutes, and already more than a dozen contestants were seriously injured. They had no choice but to leave the field sadly.
After all, if you continue to stay in this chaotic scene, I am afraid that you will not only face a simple situation like serious injury, but maybe even your life is in danger.
However, although the square is extremely chaotic at the moment, there are still four small circles in this chaotic square that are much safer in comparison. The masters who firmly guard these four small circles are Feng Qing'er, Mu Qingluan, Tang Ying, and Wang Chen...
All four of them had already gathered their momentum and were ready to go, looking at the chaotic battlefield around them with cold expressions. Anyone who dares to step into the circle they guard will be attacked the most violently at the first opportunity.
The strength of these four people can basically be regarded as among the best here. Although there were a few people in the field who performed extraordinary, it was obvious that those people did not dare to provoke these four people at will, and they were all afraid of them.
Among these four people, Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er are particularly eye-catching. I saw two silhouettes of characters facing each other far away from each other at both ends of the square, and their eyes seemed to be able to look directly at each other through the empty area in the middle.
At this time, the Dou Zong aura that far exceeded the Dou Huang realm spread out from the two of them, sweeping around like a raging wave. Everyone around them suddenly felt a powerful pressure coming towards them, and no one dared to approach this area easily. .
The two women looked like they would fight each other in the next second, but they never made any move. They just faced off quietly, and the air was filled with tense tension.
Because both of them knew that the real battle that could determine victory or defeat, and determine the superiority of men and women, was not in this moment, but in the crucial final battle that followed. A perfect opportunity to do your best and compete.
At this point, both of them have full and excellent confidence in themselves, and they are both sure that they can stand out in the subsequent final battle and win the crown of victory. Therefore, although they are facing each other at this moment, they are both calm and unflustered. .
Apart from these four geniuses of Sifang Pavilion, the two who attracted the most attention were undoubtedly Xiao Yan and Lin Yan.
On the square, Xiao Yan and Lin Yan stood back to back, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
Xiao Yan held the black iron heavy ruler tightly with both hands. Every time he swung it, he was like a tiger, and the heavy ruler cut through the air and made a low whistle. Lin Yan was holding a red spear, the tip of the spear flashing with cold light, seeming to be able to penetrate all obstacles.
There were many contestants with extraordinary strength around them. They were all afraid of these two talented people who had recently become famous, so they formed a team and launched an attack on Xiao Yan and Lin Yan.
Among them, there were also several strong men in the Nine-Star Douhuang Realm. These people came menacingly and tried to take down the two of them in one fell swoop with the strength of their numbers.
However, how could Xiao Yan and Lin Yan be afraid? They just looked stern and prepared to face this tough battle.
I saw Xiao Yan taking the lead in exerting force, and the black iron heavy ruler hit the enemy with an overwhelming force, and the fighting spirit surged like a raging wave. Lin Yan cooperated tacitly, and the red spear was like a dragon coming out of the sea, piercing the opponent's vitals.
The two of them joined forces, both offensively and defensively. As they moved around, none of the high-level Douhuangs who came could break through their defenses. No less than dozens of people had been defeated and eliminated by the two of them, but they still stood proudly in the melee. There was no sign of fatigue at all.
"Why does this guy's movement look so weird? It's really weird..."
Xiao Ling looked at Lin Yan, who was constantly jumping and moving in the field, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
I saw that when Lin Yan performed that movement, his posture was extremely ugly, giving people an extremely awkward feeling, just like a duck swaying left and right, which looked really funny. If Xiao Ling's guess is correct, this movement technique should be the ground-level fighting technique called Bat-Duck Fire-Avoiding Step that Lin Yan acquired in the original work.
I can only lament that some things seem to have been destined for a long time. Even though Xiao Ling has changed many things, this inheritance still falls into the hands of Lin Yan, and he still comes to participate in the Sifang Pavilion martial arts competition as scheduled.
No matter how high the grade of a body fighting skill like this is, Xiao Ling would not have the interest or interest to learn it at all, and would only use it unless he had to. In fact, this fighting skill is too weird and awkward to perform, and learning it will somewhat damage your own image.
The chaos in the square continued, and the entire square seemed to have turned into a huge sieve. People were constantly being eliminated from this "sieve", and those who could continue to stay in the square, among others, The number is also rapidly becoming scarce.
As the number of people decreased rapidly, the chaos in the square gradually subsided. Especially when the number of people on the field dropped sharply to about eleven people, the originally noisy and chaotic square was suddenly shrouded in an abnormal silence.
Except for Xiao Yan and Lin Yan, the other nine people were scattered throughout the venue. Those who had just experienced a fierce fight and were severely exhausted were panting and looking at each other warily. The same was true for Xiao Yan and Lin Yan, with caution and caution in each other's eyes.
Of course, such a peaceful state cannot last forever. Those who had just experienced a fierce battle had not had time to take a breath before they entered the battle alert state again.
Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan both had great confidence in themselves, so they looked confident and stood quietly.
However, Wang Chen of Huangquan Pavilion and Tang Ying of Wanjian Sect have already made moves. It seems that they are planning to launch the final clearing move. They want to break the temporary calm and make the situation change again. They plan to end this first battle as soon as possible. Round of written test selection.
The two people's eyes met, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding in an instant. After nodding slightly to each other, they immediately separated.
Tang Ying held a long sword in his hand and went straight to find a very strong contestant present. This person's strength had already reached the realm of Nine-Star Fighting Emperor.
The contestant was just resting and recuperating when he suddenly saw Tang Ying coming at him so quickly that he had to get up to defend himself. Fortunately, his previous battle consumption was not extremely high, so he could barely resist and would not be eliminated in a short period of time.
Wang Chen, on the other hand, was like a black light and shadow, flying quickly in front of Xiao Yan and Lin Yan.
"I didn't expect to meet you two this time. It's really interesting."
While he was stroking his fingers, the two daggers glowed coldly in his hands, and a penetrating smile broke out on his face, which made people shudder. He just heard him say,
"You have offended the people in the Glacier Valley and dare to come to the Sifang Pavilion Competition with such a big fanfare. Aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"
"Haha, I, Xiao Yan, don't bother Mr. Wang Chen with my own affairs." Xiao Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled faintly.
At the same time, he had secretly accumulated fighting spirit, and his whole body instantly entered a state of combat readiness. There was a faint aura of being ready to go, obviously he did not dare to slack off at all towards Wang Chen.
"If you want to take action, do it. Don't wait here, and don't lose the face of Huangquan Pavilion! Last time you were in the Tianmu Mountains, you ended up in such an embarrassing situation. Why, this time you are here to recover the situation. ”
Lin Yan spoke more directly, grinning with a look of disdain on his face, and spoke unceremoniously.
He was full of confidence in his and Xiao Yan's strength. I think that when they were in the Tianmu Mountains, it was because of the conflict between him and Wang Chen. Then Xiao Yan took action, and the two of them joined forces to successfully repel Wang Chen. Because of this, the two gradually developed a friendship. .
Besides, with Xiao Ling here, my relationship with Xiao Yan and Xiao Ling is not ordinary. If you really can't beat Wang Chen, you'll just have to admit defeat. But if Wang Chen tried to kill them, they wouldn't be without backing.
"You're looking for death!"
After Lin Yan's words fell, Wang Chen's eyes instantly became as cold as a poisonous snake, and a ferocious look appeared on his face.
I saw the two daggers in his hands flying out one after another, and the jet-black fighting spirit surged out like deadly venom, instantly setting off a roaring and raging dark storm, attacking Xiao Yan and Lin Yan with a fierce momentum. It seemed like it was going to engulf the two of them instantly.
Seeing Wang Chen carrying the dark storm and attacking quickly, Xiao Yan reacted very quickly. He steadily raised the Black Iron Heavy Ruler with one hand, and then lightly touched the body of the Black Iron Heavy Ruler with his other hand.
In an instant, a cluster of dark brown flames burst into flames on top of the black iron ruler, emitting a frighteningly terrifying high temperature. The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by the high temperature. .
"The Flame Devours the Wave Ruler!"
As Xiao Yan let out a deep shout, he tightly grasped the handle of the Black Iron Ruler with both hands, and then swung it down violently.
I saw a slash of dark brown flames carrying a terrifying scorching temperature, like a roaring flame dragon, slashing straight in the direction of Wang Chen. Wherever it passed, the air was "steamed" by the high temperature. There was a sizzling sound, as if it was about to be torn apart.
The dark storm collided with the dark brown flame slash, and the fighting spirit of the two clashed fiercely. There was a deafening explosion, and the smoke spread out like a huge wave.
However, after a blink of an eye, an unexpected scene suddenly appeared. The figure that retreated was actually Wang Chen from Huangquan Pavilion who was the first to attack. His slightly embarrassed appearance was in sharp contrast to the previous menacing posture. .
"This guy's fighting spirit and fighting skills have reached such a level. Could the flame he displayed be a strange fire? Where did the sudden rise of Xiao Yan come from..."
Wang Chen felt that his palm was unbearably hot, and the originally dark dagger was now glowing with a fiery red color.
Looking at Xiao Yan's dark black iron ruler, traces of dark brown flames are lingering upward, causing the surrounding air to distort and deform. Even the space seems to be faintly fluctuating, as if it can't bear it. Live in the heat and dominance of this flame.
Although Xiao Yan has not conquered the strange fire at this moment, he and Elder Huo took the lead in studying the Zhen Yan Jue that Xiao Ling had left in the inner courtyard.
By fusing many animal fires, a transformed fire is formed. The temperature of this transformed fire is not inferior to that of a real alien fire.
Moreover, although Xiao Yan is an alchemist, he focuses more on improving combat power in combat. The beast fires he chooses to absorb and condense are all biased towards the direction of fiery explosions. The power they exert is quite extraordinary and can often be used in battles. to a key role.
When the spectators around witnessed such a scene, their faces were all shocked and their hearts were full of surprise.
No one expected that Wang Chen, who was known as the number one among the younger generation of Huangquan Pavilion, would actually be at a disadvantage in the hands of a high-level Dou Huang.
Although Xiao Yan has also emerged in Zhongzhou and has a certain reputation, compared with Wang Chen, a genius who has already established a strong image in the hearts of everyone with his many deeds and gained a great reputation, everyone generally believes that the two There is a quite significant gap between them.
But the ending presented at this moment really surprised many onlookers, completely deviating from their previous expectations and judgments.
"What a waste!" Venerable Huang Quan, who was sitting on the seat, clenched his fists at this moment, his face was full of anger, and he cursed in a low voice...
