Cultivation of Immortality: Starting from Fu Cultivation

Chapter 548 Exploiting loopholes

On the battle stage No. 3, Wang Teng stared at his opponent with a gloomy face and cursed:
"Damn it!"

His opponent is Ying Wuqiu, who was born in Dongxuan City.

Both of them are at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and both are gifted with six types of spiritual roots. Their levels of comprehension of their respective spells are almost the same.

Although the two fought for a long time, there was still no winner.

Ying Wuqiu, who was sitting opposite him, also had a bad look on his face, muttering in his heart:

"It's over. Am I going to lose in the first round?"

"No, I can't lose. If I lose in the first round, how can I stand in front of Yan Ruyan?"

Thinking of this, Ying Wuqiu became ruthless and whispered to Wang Teng opposite him:

"Brother, I'm sorry"

As he spoke, Ying Wuqiu instantly took out thirty dark yellow talismans from his storage ring and stuck them on himself.

Then he gave up his own defense and attacked Wang Teng with fierce moves.

The talisman that Ying Wuqiu stuck on himself was a first-grade top-grade talisman, Earth Source Shield, which could release a protective shield comparable to that of an ordinary peak Qi Refining Realm talisman.

The rules of the Qi Refining Realm Competition formulated by Ye Qingxuan did not prohibit contestants from using external forces including elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc.

As long as the power of external forces such as elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc. used during the competition does not exceed the limits of the Qi Refining Realm, it complies with the rules of this Qi Refining Realm Competition.

Although this would be a bit unfair to those contestants of ordinary origin.

But where is true fairness in the world of cultivating immortals?
Later, the new generation of Xingluozhou left Xingluozhou, the cradle of peaceful cultivation atmosphere, and went to other states for training.

When competing with cultivators from other states, or even fighting a life-and-death battle with the Green Demon Clan, you can't ask the other side not to use things that you don't have, right?

What's more, for the top powerhouses in the real Qi Refining Realm.

As long as these external forces do not exceed the limits of the Qi Refining Realm, they will only increase the difficulty a little bit and will not suppress them to the point where they have no chance of winning.

Therefore, when Ye Qingxuan formulated the rules for this year's Qi Refining Realm Competition, he had already left a considerable chance of winning for those geniuses of ordinary origin.

The reason for this is that contestants of ordinary origin already possess excellent talents and can sweep away their opponents in the Qi Refining Realm in the Qi Refining Realm competition.

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

On the No. 3 battle platform, Wang Teng saw that all his attacks were blocked by the talismans on Ying Wuqiu's body, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Although Wang Teng was not considered a strong man in the Qi Refining Realm, every attack he made was blocked by the first-grade top-grade talisman, Earth Source Shield, and at the same time, it also instantly shattered a talisman barrier of the Earth Source Shield.

However, Ying Wuqiu couldn't withstand the attack because of the large number of 'Earth Source Shields' on his body.

"Shameless!"

In a rage, Wang Teng started cursing and burst out with all his fighting power to attack Ying Wuqiu with anger.

Given his family background, he would naturally have no shortage of a first-grade top-grade talisman if he wanted one.

However, Wang Teng was full of confidence. Before participating in the competition, he believed that he did not need to rely on these external forces and could sweep all opponents with his own strength alone to become the leader of the new generation of Xingluozhou.

Moreover, Wang Teng has always believed that a strong person should be like him and have the quality that a strong person should have.

Until now I met Ying Wuqiu.

For the first time, Wang Teng questioned his previous ideas.

On the opposite side, after hearing Wang Teng's curse, Ying Wuqiu felt a little embarrassed; however, his offensive did not pause at all.

Compared to losing the game in the first round and being laughed at by that girl Yan Ruyan, it’s just an unfair victory!

"Besides, I didn't break any of the competition's rules, hey!"

After muttering to himself, facing Wang Teng's full fighting power, Ying Wuqiu's offensive became more and more fierce.

The two were originally on par with each other, and now Ying Wuqiu has obtained the help of thirty first-grade top-grade talismans, Earth Source Shield, which can basically ignore the first thirty attacks of Wang Teng.

Therefore, Ying Wuqiu could give up his own defense and start launching a continuous attack on Wang Teng unscrupulously.

As one side gained strength, the other side lost strength, and Wang Teng began to lose the upper hand little by little.

After a stalemate that lasted for half a cup of tea, Wang Teng finally lost to Ying Wuqiu with a look of unwillingness.

Among the spectators outside the square, Wang Teng's father saw this scene and was immediately filled with grief and anger, shouting in disbelief:
"No, Tener!"

At the same time, above the floating platform high in the sky.

Jiang Wen's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously flipped through the information of the 100 finalists in his hand. When he turned to Ying Wuqiu's page, he paused for a moment:
"From Dongxuan City?"

Jiang Wen stared at Ying Wuqiu below for a moment, then shook his head slightly and thought to himself:
"Forget it. It didn't violate the rules of the competition. There is no reason for me to discipline this little guy afterwards."

"However, I must make a suggestion to the Lord City Lord. In addition to limiting the levels of external forces such as elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans in all future competitions, we must also limit the number of these external forces."

However, what Jiang Wen didn't know was that Ye Qingxuan on Wanling Mountain was already thinking about the problem he suggested.

Ye Qingxuan, who had been following the progress of the final of this year's Qi Refining Realm Competition on Wanling Mountain, naturally also noticed the battle between Ying Wuqiu and Wang Teng.

Ye Qingxuan had to admit that he had underestimated the shamelessness of some cultivators.

After all, this is not a life-and-death fight in an uninhabited area, but a highly anticipated competition involving the entire Xingluo State.

"Although I'm a little thick-skinned, this may not be a bad thing."

On top of Wanling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back and smiled slightly.

Although he planned to further improve the system of future competitions to fill the loopholes caused by Ying Wuqiu's behavior.

But he did not deny that Ying Wuqiu had such behavior.

Because of the match between Wang Teng and Ying Wuqiu, Ying Wuqiu was the winner in the end.

To achieve the final victory means everything.

Being flexible and adaptable, and taking advantage of loopholes in the rules to increase your chances of winning to a certain extent, is a kind of wit and courage.

Ye Qingxuan believed that many of the contestants had discovered this loophole.

However, there are only a few people who can truly put aside their pride and let go of the worldly constraints on themselves and find loopholes in the highly anticipated competition.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to let Jiang Wen fill in the gaps in this year's Qi Refining Realm Competition. He also wanted to see how far a contestant like Ying Wuqiu could go if he relied on a large amount of external force at the Qi Refining level.

And among the new generation of Xingluozhou this time, will there be a genius who can sweep away all obstacles in the same realm?

And how many contestants have thought of exploiting loopholes and prepared a large number of external forces such as elixirs and talismans?
Although Ye Qingxuan has been paying attention to the progress of this year's Qi Refining Realm finals, he did not spy on any information about the contestants.

If you have seen everything, you can see the ending in advance.

Then wouldn't this Qi Refining Realm Competition finals lose its meaning of watching and become rather boring?
With a wave of his hand, Ye Qingxuan placed a table in the air in front of him and took out a lot of fruits and tea.

Sitting cross-legged in the air, Ye Qingxuan ate fruits while watching the game.

Not to mention, the somewhat immature battles between these new generation Qi Refining Realm cultivators are quite interesting to watch occasionally.

In the square of Dongxuan City.

As Jiang Wen was watching, Ying Wuqiu, who had just finished a fight, suddenly felt a chill.

But this chill came suddenly and went away quickly.

So even though Ying Wuqiu was a little confused, he could only shrug his shoulders and no longer care about the inexplicable chill.

At this time, Ying Wuqiu's mind was more attracted by the large number of first-grade top-grade elixirs and talismans that he had specially prepared in the storage ring.

Obviously, his use of thirty first-grade top-grade talismans, Earth Source Shields, in the confrontation with Wang Teng was not a spur-of-the-moment move, but was premeditated.

At first, Ying Wuqiu was a little nervous and felt a little embarrassed when facing the onlookers.

But after he won and heard some cheers from the audience, his embarrassment gradually turned into composure.

Of course, the negative energy such as insults from the audience was selectively blocked by Ying Wuqiu.

When he used thirty talismans to win, and Dongxuan City did not step in to stop it or change the rules, Ying Wuqiu's initial uneasiness about using a large number of talismans to win began to turn into excitement.

"Why should I bother myself with high-intensity fighting when I can just use the power of the talisman to win?"

Well, this idea is very suitable for the lazy Ying Wuqiu, although it sounds a little shameless.

But the shameless Ying Wuqiu had obviously automatically filtered out the word "shameless".

His spiritual sense swept through the storage ring, revealing a large number of first-grade top-grade talismans and elixirs that he had secretly prepared before the finals. Ying Wuqiu smiled inwardly and said:

"Hehehe, since no one has stepped forward to change the rules, maybe this time I still have a chance to compete for the top ten in the finals, or even fight for the top spot in this year's Xingluozhou New Generation."

If there were no formation on the battle stage, it would interfere with and suppress other formations.

Ying Wuqiu also wanted to prepare some first-grade top-grade formation plates so that he could directly use the formation to fight the enemy during the battle.

Just when Ying Wuqiu was dreaming, the first round of the Qi Refining Realm Competition finals had ended.

With the help of many powerful men who stayed behind in Dongxuan City and the use of a large number of various combinations of elixirs, those contestants who were injured in the battle or had their spiritual power exhausted began to recover to their peak state at an extremely fast speed.

Immediately afterwards, there was no need for Jiang Wen to host the event.

The hundreds of contestants who had recovered climbed onto their corresponding battle platforms one after another according to the re-arranged battle information in the atlas floating in the air, and started a new round of battle.

As time goes by, rounds of battles begin.

The hundreds of contestants encountered many strong opponents and experienced many difficult battles.

In the following battles, although Ying Wuqiu defeated many opponents with the help of a large number of first-grade top-grade talismans and pills, the consumption of various talismans and pills was also increasing.

Especially when facing some geniuses whose talents have reached the level of seven spiritual roots, under their already perfected primary spell attacks, the first-grade top-grade talismans activated by Ying Wuqiu did not have much deterrent power in front of them.

Moreover, when Ying Wuqiu faced Leng Ren of Xueyou Mansion, who was also from the second generation of immortals and had a talent at the level of seven spiritual roots, he was defeated by the opponent who found an opportunity, used his trump card and powerful combat power that burst out in an instant.

Although Ying Wuqiu later faced two geniuses of seven spiritual roots who came from ordinary people, he managed to win by relying on a large number of first-grade top-grade talismans for defense and attack, and elixirs to replenish his own spiritual power.

However, as a result, the first-grade top-grade talismans and pills stored in his storage ring were being consumed at a very fast rate.

This consumption rate has exceeded Ying Wuqiu's expectations.

If he continued like this, the first-grade talismans and pills he had prepared earlier wouldn't even last until the later stages of the battle.

"It seems that when facing some weaker contestants, I still have to fight with all my strength and save some talismans and pills."

Thinking about the previous fierce battles, Ying Wuqiu looked at the talismans and pills in his storage ring, which were about half gone, and instantly revealed a look of worry.

Except asking for nothing.

Among the contestants, someone as strong as Jun Moyan basically swept all the way.

While maintaining an undefeated record, no other contestant has yet been able to bring out Jun Moyan's true strength.

And under Jun Moyan, there are those geniuses whose talents have reached the seven types of spiritual veins.

Except for people like Li Gexiao from Dongxuan City, Yue Xiling from Taiyuan County City, Nanyu Mansion from Taiyuan County City, etc., who have not encountered geniuses of the same level for the time being and can easily maintain an undefeated record.

Others such as Shicun·Shihuang, Taibai County City·Li Taibai, Liyan County City·Xiao Yuexian, Taiyuan County City·Zidutian, Xueyoufu·Lengren and others have all experienced at least one encounter with geniuses of the same level.

Among them, some went through a difficult battle and finally maintained their best performance, while others were slightly inferior and eventually lost and could not maintain their best performance.

Among them, Shi Huang had the worst record. When facing those geniuses of the same level who were from the second generation of immortals, although Shi Huang had the ability to fight back, he had basically no chance of winning.

As for those with six types of spiritual root talents, their performance was even more disastrous.

Like Wang Teng in Taiyuan County City, he seemed to have started to have bad luck ever since he was defeated by Ying Wuqiu.

The opponents randomly matched in the early stage were all extremely powerful.

Every time, he either lost after a fierce battle or was defeated instantly by the opponent.

It wasn't until the tenth round of fighting that the situation improved a little, but basically there were more defeats than wins.

This made Wang Teng, who had been proud since childhood in Taiyuan County, become somewhat taciturn, and the arrogance that was originally visible to the naked eye was slowly worn away in the battles.

As proud as Yuanqingfu City and Yuanqingcheng were, they suffered repeated setbacks in the final of the Qi Refining Realm Competition, with more defeats than wins.

With each battle experience, Yuan Qingcheng's pride became more restrained.

But Yuan Qingcheng did not give in. He became more courageous with every defeat, and the spear he wielded became more and more powerful.
