Chapter 88: Earth Dragon Trapped Elephant Formation vs. Wind-Fire Prairie Formation
After hearing the sound, Lin Chen walked onto the ring.
Lin Chen was fighting against a senior fellow apprentice, Qi Feng, who had started training three years earlier and had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.
"Are you Lin Chen? Junior brother... you are quite popular!"
The senior brother raised the corner of his mouth and joked.
Lin Chen was a little helpless after hearing this, but he still handed over his hands and said:
"Senior brother, I have practiced for three more years than me, please be merciful..."
"Haha, easy to say! Let me let you go today. Look, these three years since I started... We senior fellow apprentices are not in vain!”
Although he was polite, this senior fellow apprentice Qi Feng was not merciful.
As the elder announced the start of the game, he took the lead in attacking.
Seven or eight flying swords rose into the air, surrounding Lin Chen from several angles.
"Tsk, tsk, are the seven flying swords all low-grade magical weapons?"
"Qifeng disciples are indeed of extraordinary wealth..."
Lin Chen secretly thought in his heart , and then he also used the True Yuan Royal Weapon, a medium-grade magic weapon long sword, hanging in front of him.
“You must win, but you can’t look too relaxed, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion...”
Lin Chen adopted a roundabout strategy.
Wood type real energy completely protects itself.
At the same time, the long sword weapon and the long sword in the air continued to collide, and the sound of fighting was heard.
Occasionally being hit by a long sword cannot penetrate the protective essence.
Lin Chen just struck back and was gradually consumed.
However, within a short time, the real energy of Senior Brother Qi Feng in front of him had been somewhat consumed.
On the other hand, Lin Chen had been retreating in order to advance, and he was slowly consuming the real energy of Senior Brother Qi Feng.
Many elders in the audience are paying attention to this battle.
“Tsk, tsk, that boy named Lin Chen is going to win!”
“Yes, he seems to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, his pace is not messy at all... On the other hand, the Qi Peak disciple , controlling seven flying swords at the same time, the real energy is exhausted.”
"Lin Chen's attrition tactics are quite suitable."
Several elders from the inner sect were cracking melon seeds, eating melon and fruit snacks, and making comments from time to time.
"If I read it correctly...that boy named Lin Chen, may he have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining?"
"How long has he been here? Less than a year ago. Nian...can the best double spiritual roots reach this point?"
An elder with perfect foundation building asked doubtfully.
"Perhaps Old Man Han gave me some cultivation elixirs? After all, he is a closed disciple... Old Man Han is not stingy."
As the elders spoke, the winner was already decided on the stage.
Senior Brother Qi Feng’s true energy was unable to succeed, so Lin Chen used his true energy to control the sword and easily deployed his body-protecting true energy.
Finally it stopped at the neck of Senior Brother Qi Feng.
“Brother, I accept the concession!”
Lin Chen cupped his hand, very politely.
"Junior Brother Lin, this is really a good trick..."
Senior Brother Qi Feng was very angry. He seemed to have had his true energy drained by Lin Chen.
But only he knows in his heart what the whole competition will be like.
From the opening scene when he released seven flying swords, it felt like he was trapped in a huge net.
In this net, no matter how he attacks, he can always be easily dodged by Lin Chen.
This feeling...it’s so frustrating to lose!
......
After winning, Lin Chen got off the ring and quietly restored his true energy and mana.
After the first round of competition, half of the thirty-two disciples have finished.
Among the new disciples, only Lin Chen and Li Zhenqian remained.
After resting for about half an hour, the second round of competition began.
Lin Chen still won very easily, using tactics of attrition to defeat an eighth-level Qi Refining disciple.
After the battle, Lin Chen went to the fourth arena and watched Huang Xin's match.
Huang Xin lost, losing in the competition of 64 to advance to the top 32.
His opponent was an outer disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The gap in true energy was too big. Even if Huang Xin had the middle-grade magic weapon given by Lin Chen, it would be difficult to defeat him.
After seeing Lin Chen watching the battle, Huang Xin's eyes turned red and he whispered:
"Senior Brother Lin, I let you down..."
Lin Chen shook his head and gently brushed off the dirty dust on Huang Xin's clothes.
"Axin, your cultivation time is still short... In my opinion, you will definitely be able to enter the inner gate in another three years." He comforted.
Although Huang Xin still felt regretful after hearing this, he felt a lot better.
With a touch of determination in his eyes again, he said:
"Senior Brother Lin, I will work hard to practice!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly and returned to the third arena.
Next, the third round of competition, eight will advance to four, to determine the top four disciples under five years old.
Without much effort, Lin Chen defeated another senior brother at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
At this point, all the top four players have been decided.
What surprised Lin Chen was that besides him, Li Zhenqian also entered the semi-finals.
And it happened to be his opponent in the next game.
"The sect competition, the semi-finals of Arena No. 3, will be between Disciple No. 19 and Disciple No. 28..."
Following the elder's announcement, the two senior brothers from the previous session came on stage together.
These two senior brothers are both from Formation Peak.
In the first moment of this semi-final, two formation peak disciples formed a formation at the same time.
I saw two rays of light facing each other on the stage.
On one side, a dragon condensed from the earth element's true energy seemed to rise into the sky, launching waves of dragon roars.
On the other side, the sky was burning with fire, and within a radius of ten feet around the arena, no weeds could grow.
"The Earth Dragon Trapped Elephant Formation, the Wind and Fire Restarting the Prairie Formation... are a bit interesting..."
Lin Chen stood under the ring and watched the two formation peak brothers fighting with interest.
Both of them formed a battle formation.
The battle formation is a simple formation that is arranged by the formation master using himself as the formation eye.
After preparing the array in advance, the array master's combat power will be greatly improved within the range of the array.
If a battle formation master with perfect Qi refining prepares a battle formation in advance, even a monk who is new to foundation building will be difficult to defeat in a short time.
Both of these two people have perfected their cultivation in Qi refining and have some attainments in the formation path.
“Tsk tsk, after all, the Earth Dragon Trapped Elephant Formation is going to win...”
Lin Chen only watched it for a moment, and he had already concluded the outcome of the game.
There is no other reason. In this 100-meter arena, the Earth Dragon Trapped Elephant Formation has a much greater advantage.
It uses retreat to advance, uses the earth element of the earth as its root, and the formation is defensive but not offensive.
In comparison, the Fenghuo Liaoyuan Formation pays more attention to offense. If it is a long-distance roaming battle, it is very advantageous.
Sure enough, as the raging fire in the ring was swallowed up by a huge earth dragon.
The senior brother who used the Wind and Fire Flame Formation showed a look of unwillingness on his face, and his face turned pale as he said, "I lost..."
The winner showed a happy face.
In his opinion, after winning this semi-final, winning the first place in the third stage of the competition is just around the corner.
"Well, this Earth Dragon Trapped Elephant Formation is a problem... If it is allowed to successfully form the formation, it will be difficult to defeat if it does not show its foundation-building stage cultivation..."
Lin Chen did not pay attention. Li Zhenqian in the distance is already studying his opponent in the final.
After a fierce battle, the 100-meter-wide arena was in dilapidated condition.
I saw the sect leader Wang Changchun jump lightly, and the torn earth was put back together again.
The originally dilapidated arena, with the blessing of magic, took on a new look in just a few moments.
“Tsk, tsk, what a wonderful control of the true energy.”
Lin Chen looked surprised.
After the arena was restored, an elder said:
"In the next competition, Li Zhenqian will fight...Lin Chen!"
