Ascension

Chapter 135 The Hidden Fourth Rookie King Candidate (6000 words)
The sky was not yet bright, the streets were full of people, and the North Campus of Canghai Pavilion was bustling again.

When Ying Yang, Meng Lina, Ren Wokuang, Li Jingming and others all appeared on the competition field, at dawn, the top 36 finals of the freshman competition were held as scheduled.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

36 gun salutes burst into the sky.

Then there were instructors to add to the fun, and the contracted spirits kept spraying fireballs, water guns, wind blades and other skills. The sky just turned white when it was full of colorful colors.

"Please invite the players from Groups 1 to 6 to come on stage!"

Under the brilliant light and shadow, Hu Taotao hung in the air, announcing the official start of the competition.

The first round was 36 into 18.

Although the field is plentiful, it is more than enough to accommodate 36 people in battle at the same time.

But thinking about it, every game will be more exciting than yesterday's knockout round. In order to give the audience a better experience, the 18 groups of contestants will be divided into three small rounds.

Then, what caught Yehan-jun's eyes was Ren Wokuang walking with arms folded.

He landed on the battlefield in a hurry, his unrestrained eyes swept around at will, no students of the same age dared to look at him, and they were all trying to resolve the oppressive force of who I am.

"Guru..."

The contestant standing on the other side of Ren Wokuang seemed to have a small drum beating non-stop in his heart.

His contracted spirit is the only fourth clay sculpture master among the top 36.

Although he also has good strength, it is more of a matter of luck. He has never encountered a particularly restrained or powerful opponent.

Now... directly bumping into Ren WoKang?

Cold sweat dripped down his cheeks drop by drop.

He rubbed his palms hard and took a deep breath, but he still couldn't restrain the subconsciously fearful body.

"What a bunch of cowards, one person can scare you like this!"

Diagonally across from Ren Wo Kuang, in another fighting area, there was a lean man in fancy clothes, also standing with his arms folded. While talking, he spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground.

——Poison Tongue Ying Yang!
He was actually among the 12 people in the first round!
In the auditorium, the tense atmosphere suddenly shattered for the students who were concentrating.

Many people looked at Ren Wokuang and instinctively felt palpitations.

Looking at Yingyang, they glared at each other, able to unite the front and reject unanimously.

but……

There was not much scolding, and the atmosphere in the venue stagnated again!

Everyone stared wide-eyed and looked at with a little surprise. The contestant standing on the other side of Yingyang was dressed in a white samurai uniform, with a slender figure, a warm face, and clean eyes...it turned out to be the one who was shining yesterday and had already gained a lot of new ideas. Li Jingming of fans!

"E-class insect catcher vs. D-class poisonous tongue???"

"Damn it, Senior Li is in danger!!"

"36 goes into 18, is it such an exciting matchup from the beginning?"

"What to do, what to do, I don't want to see Xiao Li, who has a beautiful face, be stunned by the power of language..."

"Yes, anyone can win, but not Ying Yang. It would be great if I could beat Ying Yang wildly. I would like to see who is better between a madman and a troll..."

Mr. Yehan frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

Li Jingming's luck was indeed not very good, and he met one of the strongest three when he came up.

However, meeting Ying Yang is better than meeting Meng Lina and Ren Wokuang.

Menglina herself is an expert in the spiritual field, let me go crazy, and like to work hard to perform miracles.

Ying Yang, this person handles poison, and his characteristic is that he has a cheap mouth.

But the Grimace Moth has the advantage of flying, and by virtue of the strong wind, it can also crack the overwhelming spore poison powder as much as possible.

This game is not definitely going to be lost.

Just trying to seize the opportunity to win is undoubtedly more difficult than Wang Xinfei versus Xuan Xiaozhu.

"Little Li, come on!"

"Senior Li must win! If you lose to anyone, you can't lose to Ying Yang! Come on, come on!!"

The noisy crowd soon turned into a uniform cheer.

Ying Yang was still too unpopular. The students who had a wait-and-see attitude towards Li Jingming all hoped that he would persevere, and they absolutely didn't want to see Ying Yang's face after winning.

"Game start!"

"Hurrah!!"

In an instant, the situation was surging, and fierce battles broke out in six battlefields at the same time.

Among them, Ren Wo Kuang is the fastest and fiercest. He summons muscle zombies. The muscle zombies rush forward, and the muscle zombies punch... the battle is over.

The whole process took about 20 seconds.

Most people glanced at it, already a little surprised.

Nervous and expectant eyes continued to fall on Li Jingming, looking forward to his performance.

"Shh-"

Li Jingming summoned the Grimace Moth and condensed two extremely short insect threads at the same time. While blocking the ear holes, he hid in the woods without saying a word.

"Hey, little girl, don't run away, she's skinny and tender, show me a second look!"

Ying Yang's drake-like voice is very rough.

But Li Jingming, who was covering his ears, was already hidden in the shadows, no matter how he called, he didn't answer.

"Srustling——"

The Grimace Moth fluttered its wings and quickly gained altitude.

It doesn't use skills like "Scare Powder".

This kind of poisonous powder that erodes the flesh and attacks the spirit, whether it acts on the poisonous tongue or the mushroom bullfrog, probably cannot even exert one-tenth of the effect, so there is no need to try it at all.

The Grimace Moth made a strange movement, a pair of wings merged quickly, and when it opened again, a crescent-shaped translucent weapon, like a hidden weapon thrown out, spun and slashed at Ying Yang's body.

"Huh?" Lord Ye Han raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

This is "Wind Blade", an elemental skill with about 40-60 lines, weak in power and fast in speed, and can be used to strike at medium and long distances.

Before yesterday, Grimace Moth didn't understand this skill.

Is it that after the advanced clay sculpture is completed, it is useless to hide it all the time, or is it a small surprise during one night's rest?

Ye Hanjun didn't know it, but the audience was very encouraged.

"It's the wind blade! Grimace Moth has mastered a new long-range attack spell!"

"Haha! I'm still worried about losing my frightening fan. Li Jingming can't hurt Ying Yang with skills like strong wind and wing strike alone. I didn't expect to have a new attack method!"

Some people laughed loudly, some people beat drums and shouted, it seemed that Li Jingming's becoming stronger was a very good thing for them.

"You ugly big moth, only dare to stay in the sky, if you have the ability to fall to the ground, grandpa tells you to go around without eating!"

Ying Yang, who reacted quickly, rolled and dodged, but his sleeve was cut by the wind blade, leaving a bloodstain on his arm. The injury was not serious.

He patted the dust, snorted coldly, looked up at the grimacing moths flying around, opened his mouth without stopping, and mocked in different ways.

——The "yin and yang strange energy" of the poisonous tongue is of course not only aimed at human beings.

As long as they are intelligent creatures, they can understand some human languages.

It is possible that it will give up its original offensive rhythm and combat strategy because of the power contained in Ying Yang's words.

Instead, blindly and impulsively, using the wrong skills.

It is even possible not to use a single skill, and go straight to Ying Yang's side.

Until then, you are just letting yourself be slaughtered and teased.

"Srussus, rustle!"

The Grimace Moth went up and down, hovering in the sky in a strange way.

It seemed not to be affected by the sound, and calmly observed the situation on the ground while waiting for the wind blade to cool down.

"What's the situation, isn't the Grimace Moth able to understand part of human language? It doesn't seem to be under verbal stress?"

Some students in the auditorium raised doubts, and individual instructors clicked their tongues and explained in due course:
"This is Li Jingming's strategy."

"The hearing organ of the ghost moth grows in the abdomen, and it mainly uses a series of vibrations to identify the sound source."

"In the process of flying at high speed, the flapping of the wings will inevitably drive strong wind currents. These wind currents can attenuate the sound and attenuate the provocative effect in a disguised form, so that it will not be stabbed into anger with a few words."

"Is this still possible?" The new student was stunned for a moment.

The instructor shook his head and continued:

"This is just a stopgap measure. To maintain an excessively high frequency of wing flapping, the Grimace Moth needs to consume several times the physical strength."

"But Ying Yang has never shown any embarrassment in his verbal battles with other heroes before. Considering his 'taunting' that consumes body fluids and mental strength, his battery life is even more amazing."

"It's unreasonable, a troll who keeps outputting, how can he win?"

Everyone lamented, and the pessimistic atmosphere grew stronger.

"Whoosh-"

The second wind blade shot out, still aiming at Ying Yang.

Ying Yang, who was mocking, was forced to shut up and rolled over again.

But this time, his thigh was cut open, and the bleeding seemed to be more than the first time.

"Mushroom! Plate it!"

"Quack quack!"

The mushroom bullfrog lying on its heels responds to its master's anger.

It took a breath and its whole mouth bulged.

When it was blown out with force, a miniature whirlwind swirled above its head, and the colorful spores merged into the wind, turning into a diffuse poisonous cloud that enveloped the sky above its head.

"Hu-huhu-"

Grimace Moth uses "Glaster Wind", rows of big trees shake their branches and leaves, and the leaves rustle down.

After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, the poisonous cloud failed to spread to Grimace Moth's body, overflowing from its sides.

"Don't waste time with it, let's go to the jungle to catch that brat!"

Ying Yang, who glanced coldly, rushed into the depths of the woods with the mushroom bullfrog.

As soon as he turned around, Grimace Moth swooped down to give chase, and the Mushroom Bullfrog jumped suddenly, killing a carbine.

It jumped more than ten meters high, and its colorful tongue shot out like lightning. The grimacing moth hurriedly dodged, but it still rubbed a corner of its wing, leaving a small gap.

"Hey, poor boy! Be careful!"

Ying Yang sneered and jumped into the woods.

The mushroom bullfrog croaked twice and followed behind, inseparable to protect the safety of its owner.

"The battle situation is so anxious..."

"Ghostface Moth has the advantage in flying, but there is still no good way to take Yingyang."

"If you delay it, Li Jingming will suffer a loss no matter what. Is there really a chance for a comeback?"

The discussions never stopped.

Mr. Yehan's eyes could no longer penetrate the dense forest and see the deeper battle.

However, there are a large number of "viewing flowers" planted in the venue. These demon spirits are divided into male and female. Once the pairing is successful, they will be a lifelong couple.

At a distance of three to five miles, the male viewing flower can synchronize the scene seen by the female viewing flower, and display the picture in the form of projection.

After a few glances, Mr. Ye Han saw Ying Yang entering the woods on a shadow-watching flower.

He was carrying a small dagger, and he seemed to be striding forward, but he was extremely careful.

From time to time, he would stop and use a dagger to cut through the observed bug net traps to prevent himself from falling into a passive situation.

"brush--"

A huge energy insect net fell from the sky, and Ying Yang had no time to dodge it.

The mushroom bullfrog jumped upwards, rolled its tongue, smashed the insect net, and threw the whole thing into the grass.

"Got you!"

Ying Yang's eyes were fixed, and he began to curse in the loudest voice.

At that time, the mushroom bullfrog shook the mushroom on its head, and the overwhelming rainbow spores turned into poisonous miasma, floating in a large area around the body.

With a muffled groan, Li Jingming covered his mouth and reluctantly jumped to another tree.

It could be faintly seen that some rainbow spores were stained on his arms, and these highly toxic substances were penetrating deep into the flesh and blood at an alarming speed.

"It's over! The area covered by the poisonous miasma is too large! Li Jingming is poisoned!"

"Ghostface moth should have good poison resistance, and can fight mushrooms and bullfrogs a few times, but Li Jingming, as an insect catcher, doesn't seem to have similar powers, so he can't deal with highly toxic substances!"

As soon as the voice fell, a sudden change occurred.

The mushroom bullfrog realized that there was a chance to defeat the enemy, so he jumped forward at a faster speed unconsciously, and opened a certain distance from his master.

At this time, the wind was strong, and the Grimace Moth rushed into the rainbow poisonous miasma, and came up with a wind blade.

Ying Yang tried his best to dodge it, but before he could stabilize his body, a gust of cold air poured into the Tianling Gai from the soles of his feet, and suddenly his hair stood on end.

He turned his head and saw in astonishment that the two antennae of the Grimace Moth suddenly came together, and a glistening spike-shaped energy substance hit his temple straightly in a way that was not too fast but had no time to react.

With a puff, his head felt as if being pierced by a needle point, his eyes went dark, and his limbs began to twitch uncontrollably.

"call--"

The Grimace Moth grabbed Ying Yang, like an eagle grabbing a rabbit, and glided over its head in the face of the mushroom bullfrog's astonished eyes.

"Oh!"

Ying Yang, who was mentally and physically disordered, was thrown in front of Li Jingming like a puddle of mud.

Li Jingming quickly raised the blade of his right hand and aimed the blade at Ying Yang's neck. With slightly colored eyes, he looked coldly at the mushroom bullfrog who stopped in his tracks and did not dare to approach again. the sky in the distance.

"Li Jingming wins!"

Hu Taotao fell with a hammer, and the crisp voice echoed in the venue. Countless people were still in a daze, unable to recover from the shock.

"This……"

"Li Jingming won?"

"How did he win? What did Grimace Moth do just now?"

"It seems that Ying Yang was subdued in one fell swoop, without giving the struggle a chance to react at all?"

This time, the assistant professors and tutors were also talking to each other, exploring the possibilities with each other.

"It should be a very powerful skill..."

"This is to lure the enemy to go deep, and seize the opportunity to counter it with one move? Good boy..."

In the referee's seat, Tong Xuan's eyes shimmered, as if he had realized something:

"It's been a while, Li Jingming has grown amazingly..."

"He was poisoned, that's true."

"Although I won the game, it is too risky to test myself with drugs."

"But if this is a fight between two people in the wild, it might end in the same death..."

"Shhhh-"

The medical team arrived and immediately supported Li Jingming and purified and detoxified his body.

On the other side, someone checked Ying Yang's status.

After a therapist sang a song to him, his trembling limbs finally calmed down, and his absent-minded eyes gathered their spirits little by little.

"You lost."

The eldest sister of the medical team looked at Ying Yang with regretful eyes.

Ying Yang was stunned for a moment, his confused mind spinning wildly. He couldn't help but tilt his head and murmured to Li Jingming:
"I... I lost?"

"Ah."

The boy's voice was as light as smoke, without joy or complacency, as if he was responding to a very simple question.

Then, Ying Yang, who watched him go, fell into the clouds, his face was completely filled with astonishment.

"Ying Yang is defeated!"

"The top 36 entered the top 18. Li Jingming actually defeated Ying Yang. He is one of the candidates for the rookie king!"

"My dear, does this mean that Li Jingming is the hidden fourth candidate for the rookie king? He is a super dark horse! All of us have gone wrong?"

The auditorium, which was the first to recover, exploded.

Countless people jumped up and looked at the black spots in the distance in disbelief, their piercing eyes unable to help themselves.

This…

How can it be!

Although everyone was looking forward to this scene before the start, subconsciously they also tended to think that this is an unrealistic fantasy, and it cannot happen in the real world.

No matter how suspicious Ying Yang was, he was also a senior admitted to the hospital eleven months ago.

That's eleven months. Whether it's honing combat skills or learning all kinds of knowledge, there are too many things that can be accumulated.

As for Li Jingming, it took two months and close to three months.

Three months ago he was nothing but a mortal.

This is just the beginning of cultivation, just embarking on the road of controlling the spirit, and he has achieved such results.

The students who witnessed this scene trembled.

Amidst the envy and excitement, there is also the touch of witnessing the rising of the academy's favored son like a star.

"Oops, it's a feeling of heartbeat!"

"What's wrong, a person of his age can still be full of love?"

"Pooh!"

An old woman glared at Hong Li and said aggressively:
"I don't believe it. Are you not moved when you see such a seedling?"

"Of course I'm excited."

Hong Li with a rosacea nose picked his nostrils and said eloquently:

"But I don't know much about worm-type spirits. Asking me to teach this kid is suspected of misleading my disciple."

"I understand!" the old woman scolded, "Although I'm only an F-level "insect breeder", I have been studying insects all my life. "

"This kid is very popular with me. Come back and help me, and take him down with me!"

"Help? How?"

Hong Li snorted, "Look at the tutor seat over there, at least one-third of the tutors have become interested."

"You are at the age of entering the earth. If you don't bring out some finale treasures, you are such a young and handsome guy, who cares about you..."

"Old boy, what do you think?"

Zhu Zixin's eyes fell on Tong Xuan's body, and she asked directly:
"Did he also participate in the survival trial before? Have you observed it?"

"How about this kid? Is it worth giving up everything and focusing on cultivation?"

Tong Xuan smiled and said softly:
"This kid is quick-witted, calm and solid, and he is indeed a good seed."

"It is estimated that after experiencing the life and death oppression of the four ghost mercenary regiments, they have gained a lot these days."

"Not only did Grimace Moth advance on the spot, he also learned very powerful skills. He is very likely to become one of the top ten in the future."

"If you are interested, I can help you connect."

"As for whether people are willing to find an exclusive master, then I don't know. You can look forward to it, but you can't force it."

"Okay!" Zhu Zi nodded heavily, "When the game is over, let's talk to him!"

"Okay." Tong Xuan waved his hand and agreed.

……

Amidst the din of voices, Lord Ye Han, who was mostly wrapped under the cloak, closed his eyes.

He's taking deep breaths, one, two... the cycle continues.

The power experience in the body has expanded to the limit, and the dense spider web cracks continue to spread.

As long as he wants to, he can break through this paper-like thin membrane now, and be promoted to the second-rank coach smoothly.

But Lord Yehan held back.

When signing the flower candle, there will be a terrifying vision, which is eye-catching and attracts all kinds of amazement from the onlookers.

Right now, where tens of thousands of people gather, if he breaks through here, there is no guarantee what kind of new situation will appear.

In case Li Jingming was still amazed a second ago, he was in high spirits.

Suddenly, a towering stone door split through the clouds and descended straight to the venue.

Coincidentally, this stone door was suspended behind Mr. Yehan, everyone's eyes were turned, no one made a sound, only a pair of staring eyes.

This seems... too high-profile?
When the vision is over, can he still stay in the academy safely and do some low-key developmental things?It's impossible to think about it...

Mr. Ye Han tried his best to suppress his restlessness.

This kind of breakthrough, but short-term suppression method, in fact, everyone can do it.

Except for the discomfort of "swelling", "expansion" and "fullness", the others will not have much impact.

But... If you deliberately stay for too long and the burden on your body increases, there will be various disadvantages.

In history, there were some favored masters who strived for excellence and paid a small price for it. Later generations learned this truth by referring to their experiences.

"The 7th to 12th teams are invited to compete on stage!"

Under the guidance of Hu Taotao, 36 entered 18, and the second round began.

Meng Lina is among these 12 people.

Her opponent is very strong, Xiong Chulan, the combination of E-class police officer and "Wild Bear Dog", is unanimously recognized as the top ten contestants in this year's freshmen competition.

Even, she may be the top five.

With desperate skills such as "Excitement Burning", Wild Bear Dog can gain explosive combat power and can often leapfrog and kill its opponents.

After perfecting the clay sculpture, this advantage is maximized.

In every battle so far, although there was no way to sweep violently like Ren Wokuang, Xiong Chulan also fought hard and won consecutive victories like a broken bamboo.

"The wild bear dog is trapped in the dual control of nightmare and hypnosis! Can't break free!"

"The winner is Meng Lina! Congratulations!"

"Next, the 13th to 18th groups are invited to compete on stage!"

After a game, Xiong Chulan's strength made Meng Lina feel helpless.

She, who is expected to enter the list of the strongest five players, regrettably stops at the top 36 and leaves the field as a loser, just like many players.
