Chapter 178 One Slash
Everyone watched intently as the two fought.
The long sword in Lü Heguang's hand had a clear inscription pattern that exuded mystery. Even from hundreds of meters away, everyone could see it clearly and feel its powerful aura.
"That's the power of companion weapons," Xue Cheng said helplessly.
"By the way, Xiao Weiqing, does your sword have divine runes now?" Xue Cheng asked.
Xiao Weiqing fell into deep thought, unsure how to answer.
"Xue Cheng, Xiao Weiqing's companion weapon is not his own after all. It is very difficult to nurture, and it consumes far more divine essence than Lu Heguang and the others. It is normal that it does not have divine patterns." Qin Tian said to ease the awkwardness when he saw Xiao Weiqing's silence.
"Yes, that's it."
Xiao Weiqing quickly replied, "My Thousand Flame Blade doesn't have any divine runes yet; the consumption of divine essence is too terrifying."
"Huang Yitong, you have to help me out. If you have the chance, please exchange more for me later," Xiao Weiqing said, turning his head.
"Do you think I run a shop? Go slay demons in the demon realm yourself."
"Kid, I know where there's a lot of divine essence material, and it's high quality. Let's cooperate," Erniu interjected, trying to seduce Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing turned to look at the arena. He wouldn't believe a single word the orange cat said.
"Fight!~"
Luo Dechang roared loudly, his arms bulging with veins, and the aura he exuded was even more terrifying than that of a demonic beast.
With two steps, he was already in front of Lü Heguang.
The four sledgehammers slammed down with all their might.
"boom!"
Lu Heguang, unhurriedly, turned to the side and used his sword to pull the hammer aside, smashing it onto the arena.
"Luo Dechang is going to lose. The rhythm is now completely controlled by Lu Heguang."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They were no ordinary people and could easily see that Luo Dechang's attack was already disordered and was just wasting spiritual energy.
as predicted.
Three minutes later.
Lu Heguang pressed the tip of his sword against Luo Dechang's chest, and the referee announced the result of the match.
"Lu Heguang wins!"
"You've won. Let's fight again once I've nurtured my divine runes."
Luo Dechang was not discouraged.
"Fine! I'll wait for you, but I'll still win."
The second match has now ended.
The audience thoroughly enjoyed watching the two fighters, each equipped with their own weapon, battle.
Xiao Weiqing nodded repeatedly. It turned out that there was such a thing as the ability to nurture divine runes in companion weapons. It seemed that he would have to nurture one or two divine runes next time, otherwise people would notice something was amiss.
......
The third match.
Teng Hai is facing off against a Level 5 student from Qinglong Academy.
"Come on, let me see what you've got!"
"It's a provocative 5th-level student from Qinglong Academy," the student challenged.
"Netherworld Lamp Finger!"
Without wasting words, Teng Hai gave a low shout and immediately took action.
He flicked several fingers at his opponent in quick succession.
"A trivial skill!"
"The Sword Without a Trace!"
A flash of cold light, and the Netherworld Lamp Finger was completely shattered.
Teng Hai raised an eyebrow.
"He has some skill, but it's not enough."
"A Hundred Demons Trailing in Flames!"
Countless eerie blue flames floated erratically, surrounding the contestants of the Azure Dragon Academy.
The Qinglong Academy player with the level 5 extraordinary talent changed his expression.
"The Sword of the Dipper!"
A dozen or so sword lights enveloped it, blocking the fire attack.
However, the invisible flames were everywhere, scorching the spiritual energy of the Qinglong Academy contestants.
This is not over yet.
"The underworld is knocking!"
A loud shout.
The gates to the underworld, several meters high, opened, and a skeletal warrior from hell returned to the battlefield, cleaving the Qinglong Academy contestant away with a single strike.
"Teng Haisheng!"
Teng Hai sneered:
"A mere level 5 extraordinary talent, and you dare to look down on me? You think you're Xiao Weiqing?"
On the contestant's bench, Xiao Weiqing's face darkened. This Teng Hai was putting on an act.
Others might not know, but he certainly did. Teng Hai had used every trick in the book, catching the Qinglong Academy contestants completely off guard.
If that move hadn't defeated his opponent, it would have been a long battle. Even if Teng Hai won in the end, it would probably have been a Pyrrhic victory, or he might have even suffered a defeat.
Next.
Ren Jie defeated his opponent.
Thus, the four battles of the morning came to an end.
Both the audience and those watching the live stream felt a bit unsatisfied and were even more eager for the afternoon's matches, as the strong contenders for first place would be taking the stage one after another.
......
It's 2 PM.
In the first match, Dongfang Xuan's performance was commendable, easily defeating the student from the Tongxuefu.
Xiao Weiqing was in the second round.
The opponent was Meng Yun, a Level 6 extraordinary talent from the Great Xia Academy, who was also an acquaintance.
The two fought for five minutes before Xiao Weiqing "barely" defeated him.
Qinglongyuan contestant area.
"Xiao Weiqing is indeed quite strong, but he's not as powerful as they say."
"It's taken me so long to get to level 6."
Luo Ziyuan asked, "Then why didn't you defeat Xia Mo and Teng Hai?"
Yin Lingyao said weakly, "That Xia Mo is too cunning."
"That Teng Hai is cunning too. He went all out right from the start, and I was careless," the Qinglongyuan contestant who lost in the morning argued.
"A defeat is a defeat."
Actually, you can't entirely blame the two from Qinglong Academy.
It can only be said that they were matched with the wrong opponent.
Xia Mo herself is very strong and possesses a unique water, making her one of the top talents among level 6 extraordinary talents.
As for Teng Hai, with Xiao Weiqing's help at the No. 1 Civilization Relic, he obtained a strange fire, which greatly enhanced the power of his innate skill. Moreover, he went all out from the start, catching his opponent off guard.
Xiao Weiqing's competition has ended.
Next up was the main event.
The match between Luo Ziyuan and Zang Yu.
Luo Ziyuan's performance made Xiao Weiqing frown.
Both the competitors and the spectators wore unusually solemn expressions.
"A companion weapon, and it has two divine runes."
"This Luo Ziyuan is incredibly strong."
"Why did Hongming suddenly stop fighting just now?"
"have no idea."
Luo Ziyuan and Hong Ming are both level 6 martial arts practitioners, both skilled in techniques.
Luo Ziyuan's weapon is a long staff, an original companion weapon. The staff is very thick, exceeding two inches.
Hong Ming, on the other hand, was wielding a knife, a very good elemental weapon. From the very beginning, Hong Ming unleashed his strongest combat power, suppressing Luo Ziyuan for a time.
But after ten moves...
Luo Ziyuan began to fight back.
The first blow brought Hong Ming to a halt.
The second blow knocks the opponent back.
The third strike sends the opponent flying.
Strangely, by the third strike, Hong Ming had already reacted and was preparing to defend.
But when the long stick reached him, for some reason, Hong Ming paused for a moment, as if he were about to give up.
"Xiao Weiqing, do you know what just happened?" Fei Xiaobao asked.
"It must be a psychological attack."
"Psychological attack?"
Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Besides a psychological attack, I can't think of any other possibility."
In fact, Xiao Weiqing had other supporting evidence, namely that Zang Yu was a spiritual cultivator, and Luo Ziyuan was his opponent in the Azure Dragon Academy, so it was very likely that he learned a spiritual power talent technique.
Xiao Weiqing had reason to believe that Luo Ziyuan might even possess a talent for mental defense.
Xue Cheng nodded and said, "Xiao Weiqing is right. Luo Ziyuan's method just now did indeed resemble a mental attack."
As a spiritual cultivator, Xue Cheng's spiritual power is not as high as Xiao Weiqing's, but he is very familiar with the methods of spiritual cultivation.
"Next game!"
"Li Jian versus Zang Yu."
The two took their positions.
Li Jian is an earth-elemental mage who excels at defense.
Zang Yu slowly walked onto the arena. He was of average height, neither fat nor thin, and his appearance was also average. He held a black knife and had no expression.
"start!"
Zang Yu shifted his feet slightly and vanished from the spot.
Li Jian reacted the instant Zang Yu moved.
"Rock barrier!"
The rich, earthy-yellow spiritual energy transformed into rocks, enveloping it.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound.
Zang Yu wielded a black knife and slashed at the rock.
Then, sheathed the sword.
He turned around and walked away.
