Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 102 Arena
The draw for the second round of singles competition was held on the second day of the challenge. Li Zhen was not so lucky, as the only exemption lottery was won by a beautiful girl.

But his luck was not too bad, as he was assigned a Qi training level 5 contestant from an ordinary middle school, who was defeated by him with one sword.

Shi Xuan didn't make it through the second round, and he met the captain of Tianchang No. 3 Middle School.

Wang Rushi met an opponent with similar strength, and she successfully defeated her opponent and advanced to the next round.

On the third day, Shi Xuan and Fang Congzhi sat together. Shi Xuan looked at the 53 players on the field and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

According to the information at hand, 53 of the 30 contestants are from ten schools in Tianchang City, and the rest are mostly captains of the teams.

The most eye-catching one among them was Li Zhen, who was standing among a group of high school students.

Of course, no one thought that Li Zhen would make it through this round, mainly because none of the contestants in this round were weak.

Since the number of players in the third round is odd, there will be one free draw.

When the matching results came out, both the audience and the contestants were shocked, and everyone turned their eyes to the beautiful girl.

The beautiful girl was named Tan Yaya. She successfully obtained an exemption from the second round, and got an exemption from the third round again.

If they didn't know that a city-level main intelligent computer like Tianchang Intelligent Brain could not be bribed, everyone would think that someone had tampered with it.

Tan Yaya was nicknamed "Koi" by everyone. With such luck in large-scale competitions, she is truly worthy of the name "Koi".

Under the envious gazes of everyone, she walked back to the rest area and was able to advance directly to the fourth round without having to fight to the death.

Li Zhen looked at his opponent, who was the captain of Tianchang No. 3 Squadron who had eliminated Shi Xuan yesterday.

And his match was very early, in the first batch of arena number six.

"Be careful of his Water Cloud Flag magic weapon. This magic weapon can attack and defend, and it can also emit ice and frost!" When Shi Xuan saw Li Zhen's matched opponent, he came to Li Zhen and reminded him.

Tianchang No. 3 Middle School ranks high among the ten schools in Tianchang City. As the selected captain and with the strength of the late stage of Qi training, he is definitely one of the top few players in Tianchang City.

"Thank you, I will pay attention to it!" Li Zhen thanked.

"If it really doesn't work, use sword energy and thunder sound, don't hold back your strength!" Teacher Zou instructed in a deep voice.

He was worried that Li Zhen would not have time to use his strongest means and would be defeated by the opponent.

Li Zhen nodded and followed him onto the stage.

The captain of Tianchang Third Squadron had been waiting for him. When he saw him go up to the ring, he took down the Shuiyun flag from behind.

Even though Li Zhen was young and only a first-year junior high school student, he did not look down on him at all.

He had seen Li Zhen's previous battle videos, and Li Zhen's swordsmanship posed a threat to any Qigong practitioner.

With his strength at the seventh level of Qi training, even if Li Zhen possesses great swordsmanship, he can still defeat Li Zhen as long as he doesn't take it lightly.

The green signal comes on and the battle begins.

The captain of Tianchang Third Squadron waved the Water Cloud Flag in his hand, and a trace of cold air rose above the arena, like a thin mist.

This is the range attack method of the Water Cloud Flag, which is particularly suitable for ring battles because the range of the ring is small and large enough to be covered by cold air.

This method is almost always effective against cultivators with a lower realm than oneself. Once a cultivator with a lower realm encounters cold air, his movements will slow down and he will continue to be attacked by the cold air.

Unfortunately, even if Li Zhen did not use the "Black Iron Body", the cold air had no effect on Li Zhen's physique, which was at the peak of the first level of body refining.

Li Zhen's fighting style was no different from the previous two arenas. He took advantage of his speed and when the captain of Tianchang Third Squadron waved the Shuiyun Flag, he had already rushed to the captain of Tianchang Third Squadron.

The captain of the Tianchang Third Squadron did not expect that Li Zhen was not affected by the cold. According to the tactics he formulated, he was driving the Shuiyun Flag to fire an ice bomb to completely resolve the battle.

He never expected that Li Zhen ignored the cold and slashed at him with the sword in his hand before he could launch the ice bomb.

The captain of Tianchang Third Squadron quickly gave up on launching the ice bomb and wanted to use the Water Cloud Flag for defense.

A multifunctional magical weapon like the Shuiyun Flag has many advantages, but its disadvantages are also obvious. It takes some time to transform between attack and defense.

Li Zhen took advantage of the moment when the Water Cloud Flag turned to defense and stabbed his sword through the defensive gap that the Water Cloud Flag had not yet been fully deployed.

Until the ring forcibly restrained both parties and ruled the captain of Tianchang Third Squadron as the loser, the captain of Tianchang Third Squadron did not understand why he was defeated.

If Li Zhen had successfully entered the top 53 before, many people would have thought it was just his luck, but from now on, no one dared to underestimate him. Some people even regarded him as the biggest dark horse, a dark horse who picked a late-stage Qi training player.

"Good job!" Teacher Zou laughed and praised Li Zhen who had just stepped off the stage.

The later Li Zhen uses Sword Qi and Thunder Sound, the better the effect will be. A sudden attack of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound can almost secure a victory.

If it is used in advance, later players will be cautious and even stop him from getting close at all costs.

With the close-range long sword he used, if he really didn't have the chance to get close, he wouldn't be able to use the sword energy and thunder sound even if he had it.

The captain of Tianchang Third Squadron looked at Li Zhen unwillingly. He was defeated inexplicably and he still had many tricks that were not used. He was very unconvinced.

But the competition system of the challenge is like this. Each player only has one chance, and if he loses once, he will be out of the individual challenge.

"It's my turn!" Wang Rushi waved her hand and said.

Teacher Zou did not explain anything. The main thing was that Wang Rushi was bound to lose this time, as she was facing a contestant from Tianchang No. 2 Middle School.

Even the ordinary players from Tianchang No. 2 Middle School are stronger than Wang Rushi.

There was no suspense in the battle. The opponent had the strength to crush Wang Rushi. The leather armor on Wang Rushi protected herself, but she was still considered a loser if she was hit in the vitals.

"Teacher, I'm sorry to disappoint you!" Wang Rushi said with a wry smile after getting off the stage.

"You have performed at your best, it's just that your opponent is too strong!" Teacher Zou comforted him.

The third round of the competition ended in the morning and the fourth round will start in the afternoon.

Tan Yaya, the lucky fish, showed her power again and successfully won a free draw to advance to the next round.

Among the 27 contestants in the fourth round, except Li Zhen and Tan Yaya, there are six contestants who are not from Tianchang City, and the remaining 19 contestants are from Tianchang City.

When the matching results came out, Li Zhen found that except for Tan Yaya, all the non-Tianchang city players were matched with Tianchang city players.

In this round, Li Zhen's appearance order is at the end, and he has to wait for two rounds of competitions.

In the first two batches of twenty matches, six contestants who were not from Tianchang City were completely wiped out.

This is equivalent to a gathering of players from Tianchang City. This is the gap between a county and an urban area.

"Please!" The opponent looked serious and released a defensive magic weapon, a shield, to block in front of him at the beginning of the battle.

Now any opponent who meets Li Zhen will no longer dare to underestimate him.

They also analyzed Li Zhen's fighting style, which can be summed up in one word: "fast". He made full use of the area of ​​the arena and quickly resolved the battle in close combat.

Li Zhen was using a first-grade, high-quality long sword. Even if a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training was approached, he would be in danger without active defense.

He waved his hand, not using swordsmanship, but unexpectedly used the "Shenxiao Thunder Method".

He decided to show his potential and he had to show it.

The opponents did not expect that Li Zhen would use thunder magic. They used metal shields to block in front of them, but were directly knocked away by this "Shenxiao Thunder Magic". The remaining power was blocked by the binding energy of the arena.

The opponent looked at the lightning in front of him being restrained and struggling. After a moment, the lightning dissipated and his hair stood on end.

How could he use thunder magic in a Qi training stage arena fight, and it was instantaneous thunder magic? This was too bullying.

"Thunder magic!" a cultivator exclaimed, and the foundation-building cultivators who were watching the battle were also greatly surprised.

"Lanqin, you finally met such a genius!" said a true cultivator at the foundation-building stage sourly.

At first, the foundation-building practitioners all thought that Li Zhen was already a genius because he had reached the fourth level of Qi training at such a young age and had mastered the sword technique.

But Li Zhen also demonstrated his thunder magic, which is an extremely rare thunder spiritual root.

Talents like Thunder Spiritual Root, even if they are of the lower grade, will be given priority training in any school, because Thunder Magic has many special effects and plays an important role in many environments.

"Haha!" Pei Lanqin did not hide her smug smile. Seeing the envy in her fellow Taoists' eyes, it felt really good.
