Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 217 Determined!
Early the next morning.

When the participants and spectators arrived at the entrance of the competition venue, they found that today's match schedule had been posted on the door, so they immediately checked it out:
【Third round match table】

[First match: Zhang Chulan VS Feng Shayan]

[Second match: Zhuge Qing VS Wang Ye]

[Third match: Tang Wenlong VS Jia Zhengliang]

[Fourth match: Xiao Xiao VS Hua Yu]

[Fifth match: Ling VS Lu Gong]

[Sixth match: Zhang Lingyu VS Gao Yun]

[Seventh match: Feng Xingtong VS Deng Youfu]

[Eighth match: Wang Bing vs. Ye Xiao]

……

From the third round onwards, all subsequent competitions were conducted in an elimination system. The third round was a competition of sixteen to eight, and the next round was a group consisting of the winners of the first and second games, and the winners of the third and fourth games...

And so on.

From then on, the matchups among the remaining contestants became completely clear. Except for the much-questioned "Bu Yao Bi Lian" Zhang Chulan, the rest were top-notch masters, making everyone look forward to it.

"The next opponent... is Feng Shayan?"

After looking at the battle table, Zhang Chulan raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that Feng Shayan was the daughter of Feng Zhenghao, one of the Ten Lords, and was quite powerful.

And its ability is also very rare, touching the "Way of Space". It can make short-distance space jumps and teleport its own and its opponent's attacks.

From this point of view, it is quite similar to the "Eight Gates Moving" in Qimen.

At this moment, seeing Zhang Chulan appear, the other confused spectators nearby all looked at him with contempt. He was now truly "famous far and wide", and everyone knew his name "Buyao Bilian".

Furthermore, he had not really demonstrated his strength until today, which made everyone wonder if the old master was trying to give this kid a backdoor and send him all the way to the finals...

It was precisely because of this speculation that even his previous opponents were suspected to be specially arranged by the Tianshi Mansion, especially Shan Shitong's withdrawal in the second round, which increased everyone's suspicion.

Of course, if all this was really arranged by the old Heavenly Master, it would not be incomprehensible to everyone, but Zhang Chulan's behavior was really despicable and too shameless...

Therefore, everyone hoped from the bottom of their hearts to see this guy suffer a defeat, and hoped that someone would beat him up to vent their anger. They also looked forward to Feng Shayan going all out this time to teach this shameless guy a lesson!

And this time...

“This list…”

After breakfast, Xia Ye, who was strolling outside the competition venue, also saw the list. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, realizing that the groups of candidates facing each other were different from what he knew.

The first ones are Zhang Chulan and Jia Zhengliang. Their opponents were supposed to be Tang Wenlong and Feng Shayan, but this time they were swapped. The following groups of contestants also saw changes, with three people being replaced.

Among them, Xia Ye knew that the guy named Hua Yu who was fighting against Xiao Xiao from the Lu family was a candidate specially sent by the company to participate in the conference and was also an incarnation of the domain poison. The intention was the same as the expectation of Zhang Chulan in the original plot, to see if he could take advantage of the opportunity to control the Tianshi Mansion...

As for the last two games, Lu Gong and Gao Yun are from the Lu family and the Gao family. In order to prevent the Eight Wonders from falling into the hands of others, Lu Ci directly sent his most valued great-grandson to fight. The Gao family is another representative of the company, which is a double guarantee!
"..."

"It seems that the power of this 'correction' wants to make up for the intersection between Zhang Chulan and the Tianxia Association in this 'Luotian Dajiao'."

After thinking about it carefully, Xia Ye made a guess.

As for the three people who replaced them later, they were just filling in the positions of Feng Baobao and Lu Linglong, and replacing a minor role who didn't even have a face in the original plot. It was normal.

So, he just smiled and walked up the stairs to the stands.

soon……

"Please enter the venue immediately if your name is called! Zhang Chulan vs. Feng Shayan! Zhuge Qing vs. Wang Ye! Tang Wenlong vs...."

Inside the venue, the referee Taoist priest's voice rang out, echoing in the air.

Hearing the call, the sixteen candidates for Heavenly Master did not hesitate and immediately entered the venue and registered. The competition began soon and the audience in the stands also showed their anticipation.

but……

"Please come in, Zhang Chulan!"

A moment later, Zhang Chulan's opponent Feng Shayan had already stood in the field, but Zhang Chulan had not yet shown up, so the Taoist referee immediately urged him on.

"This Zhang Chulan, there's never a competition without some trouble. Is he really scared this time? This is the top 16!"

"Hehe, all those who can enter this round are tough guys. I want to see what tricks he can play this time!"

For a moment, the crowd began to whisper and discuss in low voices, all wanting to laugh at this guy.

But soon...

Da da da!

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the entrance passage on the other side of the venue. The footsteps were not loud, but they could be clearly heard by everyone.

Then, Zhang Chulan slowly stepped in, still with a playful smile on his face, and greeted Feng Shayan:

"Hey, good morning!"

"morning……"

In response to his greeting, Feng Shayan smiled, but the smile on her face did not look natural and her eyes were wandering.

Just as Xia Ye judged, she received instructions from her father this morning to get in touch with this guy. After all, they were all holders of the "Eight Wonderful Skills" and hoped that they could take care of each other.

only……

Just like the original plot, this so-called "contact" is actually "seduction", which makes Feng Shayan very resistant, but she dare not disobey her father...

Therefore, she was very conflicted about this battle. She didn't know whether she should go all out or make some other preparations. She kept wavering and hesitating in her heart.

At this moment……

"Contestants enter! The competition begins!"

Seeing that both players had entered the venue, the Taoist priest acting as referee immediately announced that the competition had officially begun.

It can be seen that Zhang Chulan is different this time. His expression darkened the moment the competition began. It is no wonder. He has reached the top 16 and his opponents are all masters. Naturally, it is impossible for him to retain all his strength.

The next moment...

Zizizizi!

Looking at the wind swallow opposite, Zhang Chulan's eyes focused, and bright white light suddenly flashed around his body, and he leaned down!

Swah——

And then, in an instant, before Feng Shayan could react, his figure had disappeared from the spot...

Bang!
A muffled sound was heard, and the Sand Swallow suddenly flew into the air and backwards!
"what?!"

This was the last voice in Feng Shayan's mind before she lost consciousness.

thump!
A few seconds later…

Feng Shayan's body fell to the ground, her clothes were already charred and smoke was coming out of her body.

Wow!

The next moment, in order to prevent her from exposing herself due to torn clothes, Zhang Chulan immediately pulled off his Taoist robe, threw it over to cover her body, then looked around at the stands, grinned, and smiled again.

"This……"

For a moment, all the audience who were expecting this guy to get beaten were stunned. They thought that this competition would go as they wished, but they didn't expect...

It turned out to be such a one-sided “instant kill”!
At the same time, the previously missing "Green Talisman God" Shan Shitong finally showed up. He looked at the result with a calm face. Just the night before, he deeply understood a truth...

Shamelessness does not mean incompetence!
“The winner—Zhang Chulan!”

After a while, the Taoist referee reacted and announced the result loudly. Several Taoists immediately entered the venue and carried Feng Shayan out.

"Oh?"

At this time, Feng Baobao in the stands saw this scene and couldn't help but stare, but other than that he didn't have any other reaction and his face was still calm.

But even so, Zhang Chulan still found her in the crowd, grinned at her and waved.

"Ok?"

"Baby, what's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Xu San and Xu Si frowned immediately. They couldn't remember when Bao Bao had any contact with Zhang Chulan.

"Oh, I met you when I was taking a walk in the evening the day before yesterday. I got to know you a little bit." Feng Baobao responded calmly.

"Take a walk..."

The two looked at each other, with vigilance in their eyes.

After this……

Zhang Chulan put his hands in his pockets and returned to the audience under the watchful eyes of the crowd. This time he had proved his strength, and the previous rumors were self-defeating.

Immediately afterwards, the second competition began. Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing entered the venue at the same time. Everyone turned their heads to look, revealing expectant expressions.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing the two of them leave the stage at the same time, Xia Ye in the stands also grinned. He was also looking forward to this match. He really wanted to see whether Zhuge Qing could fight against the "Feng Hou Qi Men" after he realized the "Samadhi True Fire" and "Internal Qi Bureau"...

And soon...

"The competition begins!"

Following the announcement of the referee Taoist priest, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing started moving at the same time. Just like in the original plot, neither of them used any strange magic at the beginning, but instead engaged in a physical martial arts contest with "Tai Chi" and "Bajiquan"!

But obviously...

Although Wang Ye was gifted and had an outstanding understanding of martial arts, he had only practiced martial arts for three years, and his physical training was no match for Zhuge Qing. Therefore, the gap between the two men became apparent after just a few moves. Wang Ye was hit by Zhuge Qing's Iron Mountain Backbone, and his body staggered, and he quickly retreated to a safe distance.

in this way……

Wang Ye also understood that if he did not use his trump card this time, he would definitely not be able to get through. He could not help but glance at the old Taoist priest on the stage, and began to think.

In fact, he came here not to participate in the competition, but to prevent Zhang Chulan from winning in the end. In his previous inquiries in the "Inner Scene", he vaguely saw that something big was going to happen this time, and the only reason he could think of was Zhang Chulan and the "Eight Wonders"!
After all, it is well known that...

The purpose of this "Luotian Dajiao" is to announce the return of Zhang Huaiyi and Zhang Chulan, and to determine the candidate for the next Heavenly Master.

And everyone knows that the reason why the old Heavenly Master expanded the scope of candidates this time to the entire Chinese world of extraordinary people and even proposed the "Origin of Qi Body" was to allow the world's talents to serve as a training for Zhang Chulan. Therefore, the candidate for the next Heavenly Master is self-evident.

But this would lead to a serious consequence, that is, once Zhang Chulan really became the successor of Heavenly Master, the company would be the first to disagree for its own various purposes. In addition, with the appearance of "Qi Body Origin", chaos would inevitably arise.

Coupled with the newly emerged "Heaven" that has been disrupting the situation, the whole situation will inevitably be pushed to an extremely serious situation. What will happen at that time? Will the company that has always wanted to completely control the alien world take this opportunity to suppress it strongly?

No one can tell!

of course……

All these speculations were based on Wang Ye's own existing cognition. He didn't know the truth, but he felt that he needed to give a reminder or take action to stop it from happening.

Just as Zhou Sheng said, he is a person who likes to "meddle in other people's business", but this is also his characteristic, and it is also a key point that many warlocks will never understand in their lifetime -

Waiting and watching will lead to nothing in the end, put yourself into the game and realize the truth in danger!
then……

"call……"

After standing still, Wang Ye let out a long sigh, and his eyes suddenly focused.

next moment……

Boom!
He stomped his feet hard, and an invisible strange formation suddenly formed. The formation expanded instantly, covering Zhuge Qing on the opposite side!

"Wow, as expected, you are also a warlock!"

Feeling the change in the surrounding aura, Zhuge Qing immediately narrowed his eyes. When he was watching Wang Ye's battle before, he felt that the aura in this guy's body was very familiar, and now he saw that it was true.

then……

Boom!
He also stomped his feet, and the strange array that had covered the entire field reappeared. The range of the arrays on both sides was enough to explain the difference in cultivation. He smiled:

"Brother Wang, you can't even beat me in fists and feet, let alone Qimen. Just admit defeat!"

"..."

However, facing Zhuge Qing's persuasion to surrender, Wang Ye raised his eyelids with an indifferent look on his face.

The methods Zhuge Qing used in yesterday's competition were still fresh in his memory. He asked himself that if he only relied on his previous "Fenghou Qimen", he might not be able to win easily.

but……

Just last night, when he repeatedly recalled and felt the strange power that Zhuge Qing had displayed at the end, and experienced the method of incorporating the power of heaven and earth of the strange formation into his own body, he suddenly realized something.

After a night of trying, he finally gained something. He even finally realized that the "Fenghou Qimen" he had been practicing... might have been practiced incorrectly!
This……

This is exactly what Xia Ye wants to see the most. When the overall strength of the alien world soars, the potential of geniuses from all sides will also explode. The geniuses will also stimulate each other, causing each other's strength to continue to improve in a certain state of "entanglement"!

Because of this, Wang Ye, who originally needed a long time to comprehend the true meaning of "Fenghou Qimen", was able to comprehend it in advance at this "Luotian Dajiao". Only in this way could he be able to guarantee victory in this duel!
next moment……

"Zhuge Qing... have you ever been defeated?"

Wang Ye suddenly spoke, his face solemn.

"..."

"If you don't count the previous practice with the elders in the clan... No."

Although he didn't know what he meant by this question, Zhuge Qing responded anyway.

"Then do you think you can accept your own failure? I mean the kind of failure that completely negates your previous life..." Wang Ye spoke again.

"..."

"That must be a very unpleasant feeling..."

Zhuge Qing was silent for two seconds, just imagining it, and then his brows frowned.

"So, since we are all sorcerers and reasonable people, there is no need to fight as hard as others. Now... I will give you time to make a choice."

The king also continued.

"The method I am going to use next may make you feel this way, which is something I don't want to see. I know that you are indeed very strong and your ability in numerology is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, but the existence of some things may not be so reasonable. Whether you want to watch it or not...it's up to you to decide!"

"..."

"Ha ha……"

However, unlike the nervousness after hearing these words in the original plot, Zhuge Qing's inner demons have been eliminated and his thoughts are clear, so naturally he will not have any concerns about this.

With great confidence, he smiled and waved to the king:
"If you really have such means, then please!"

Swah——

The next moment, Zhuge Qing's strange formation suddenly retracted, and the power of heaven and earth returned to his life. A blue-green flame instantly ignited around his body, emitting mysterious aura.

Since the other party said so, he would be looking down on the other party if he did not try his best, so he immediately displayed the "Samadhi True Fire" and waited for the other party's move.

"..."

At this moment, seeing that Zhuge Qing had already made his stance, Wang Ye sighed in his heart and said to himself, "Why bother?"

But he also understood that geniuses are naturally proud, and will never give up their confidence unless they face a setback. This is also a major foundation for such people to soar to the sky, so he no longer worries about it.

next moment……

Swah——

Under Zhuge Qing's gaze, the formation under Wang Ye's feet suddenly shrank and returned to his body, causing Zhuge Qing to stare in disbelief.

"This guy... actually figured out the 'inner situation'?!"

Seeing this, he was completely convinced of what the other party had just said. He might really have some special means, and he immediately looked alert!
however……

The next moment...

Da da da!

Facing Zhuge Qing who was ready for battle, Wang Ye just raised his foot and walked away.

It can be seen that at this moment his body and mind were extremely relaxed, his expression was calm, and the whole person seemed to have merged into one with the world, and his eyes even revealed the meaning of "all things are equal"!
"W-what's going on?!"

Seeing this scene, the audience around were suddenly shocked. They had all witnessed how powerful Zhuge Qing was yesterday, so they could not understand Wang Ye’s behavior at this moment.

However, only a few elders with high cultivation could see that at this moment Wang Ye's aura completely enveloped the entire venue and Zhuge Qing. Zhuge Qing, who had displayed the "Samadhi True Fire", was like a "bird in a cage" and had no power to resist!
"Um……"

At this time, Xia Ye in the stands also focused his eyes. He could see that at this moment Wang had truly understood the true meaning of "Fenghou Qimen" and was able to perform like this. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

If it was Wang Ye who originally only knew how to control four plates, he might not be able to win against Zhuge Qing now, but now that he has realized this state, the outcome is certain!

next moment……

In full view of the public...

Wang Ye walked in front of Zhuge Qing and slowly raised his hand.

Suddenly feeling a sense of danger approaching, Zhuge Qing, who was wrapped in blue-green flames, moved immediately. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared behind Wang Ye in a flash, and then he struck out with a palm!
In Zhuge Qing's opinion, although he could not judge what methods the other party would use, he still needed to gather his true energy and control the strange power in his body before he could use it. In other words... this would require some "time" to prepare.

As long as he could rely on his speed to hit it before it could use its power, with the power of "Samadhi True Fire", the opponent would be unable to block it and he would be able to break out of the situation!

however……

Although his judgment was correct, as Wang Ye had just said, the means he was going to use were "unreasonable" and could not be guessed by common sense.

Just when his palm was about to hit the opponent's back, he suddenly felt the air around him become extremely "muddy", and he himself seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, with an unprecedented pressure coming towards him from all directions!

"This is?!"

At this moment, Zhuge Qing felt that he could no longer move...

No, it should be said that his movements were slowed down countless times. The distance that was originally close at hand seemed to take hundreds of years to cross, which shocked him.

This was a very strange and incomprehensible feeling, as if his body was infinitely slowed down by some force, but his thinking did not change. It was also as if his thinking was infinitely accelerated, but his body could not keep up at all!

"what's the situation?!"

For a moment, this indescribable sense of contradiction and disharmony swept over Zhuge Qing's whole body, causing his soul to tremble. It was an instinctive fear of the "unknown".

At this moment, cracks appeared again in his solid and round mind, which had already gotten rid of his inner demons. The self-confidence in his heart was washed away by this fear, and he was at a loss.

And looking at Wang Ye again...

Facing Zhuge Qing's attack, he did not have any unnecessary reaction and his expression remained calm, as if everything was under his control.

In fact, at this moment, he had indeed entered a mysterious realm. The four words "turn me into king" kept lingering in his mind. He just felt as if he could go to heaven and earth, and seemed to be omnipotent. Everything in the world was in his hands!

but……

"call……"

The next moment, Wang Ye shook his head and instantly got rid of this "illusion". His instinct told him that this feeling was not a good thing and he must not indulge in it.

And then, he felt the powerful force coming from behind him, and suddenly took action and spoke softly:
"Certainly!"

"!!!"

In an instant, the word "fixed" that weighed a thousand pounds entered Zhuge Qing's mind, shaking his body and soul. Both his body and soul froze...

Can't move anymore!
