Chapter 372: Competition in the Ring
Two chapters in one!

However, she discovered a problem. With her current cultivation base, she simply cannot exert one-tenth of the power of the dragon and phoenix sword skill, because she has not reached the meridian opening stage and cannot release the sword gang. Moreover, the dragon and phoenix sword skills are very fierce, and without the spiritual power, that kind of fierce sword power can't be erupted at all. The only way to increase the power is to use an epee, and with the help of the epee's power, unleash the power of the dragon and phoenix sword.
There are only three moves in this set of sword skills, which are Dragon Tunzhu, Phoenix Qingtian, and Dragon and Phoenix Combination.
Now Qin Shuang can only use the two styles of Long Tunzhu and Feng Qingtian. Qin Shuang estimated that if he uses the epee, he should be able to exert one-thousandth of the power of these two styles.
Qin Shuang forged an epee at one of the most famous arms shops in the capital half a month ago. This sword is three inches wider and half a foot longer than ordinary swords. The whole sword is made of Tianxing iron, it weighs three hundred catties, and cost Qin Shuang ten million taels of silver. With this weight, Qin Shuang, whose strength has reached the second level of the Tongmai stage, can only use a maximum of ten swords.
Qin Shuang didn't go out for three days. Apart from practicing the Forging Jade Jue, she spent all her time practicing the five sword skills.
The day of the ring competition has finally arrived.
Qin Shuang sat in the dining room of the villa and finished her breakfast carefully. Then he carried the epee on his back, holding a standard long sword in his hand, and stepped out of the villa.
At this time in Wangdu, Xianyue Martial Academy, Wu Zongdian Martial Academy and Zhicheng Martial Academy are all holding a big arena competition at the same time today, vying for the place in the Xuanyue Secret Realm.
The three major martial arts schools are open to the whole country on this day, and everyone can enter the three major martial arts schools to watch at will. This is a grand ceremony for the warriors of the Crescent Moon Kingdom.
Warriors from the Crescent Moon Kingdom poured into the three major martial arts schools one after another. Most of the nobles of the Xianyue Kingdom flocked into the Xianyue Martial Academy, those who were related to Wuzongdian flocked into the Wuzongdian Martial Academy, and the common people flocked into the Zhicheng Martial Academy. Of course, there were also a large number of civilian warriors who poured into Wu Zongdian Martial Academy and Xianyue Martial Academy. Normally, the number of warriors from the three major martial arts schools is about the same, but this year is different, because Qinshuang has become different. This is mainly because there is a lot of noise about Qinshuang's cheating, so too many warriors have poured into Xianyue The Martial Academy wanted to see how Qin Shuang cheated, and who did she bribe?
They all came with a sense of injustice, and they all came with a booing mood. So, when they saw the appearance of Qin Shuang in a moon-white dress, they buzzed and started talking.
Qin Shuang ignored their gazes and discussions, and stood quietly under the ring.
At this time, a hundred arenas have been set up on the martial arts arena of Xianyue Martial Arts Academy.
Right in front of the hundred arenas, a VIP seat was set up, on which the Queen of Crescent Moon, King Hu and other royal families and nobles sat, and layers of auditoriums were built around the hundred arenas. The seats are already full, and so are the VIP seats.
Crescent Moon Martial Arts Academy maintains a student scale of around 40,000 all year round. Usually, there are about 2,000 students in the realm of warriors, and the remaining 30,000 or so are all martial arts students in the first stage of feeling qi. Martial apprentices are not eligible to compete for the quota to enter the Crescent Moon Secret Realm at all, and only martial arts students above the Qi-sensing period are eligible to compete. In fact, warriors in the Qi-sensing period are not qualified, they just experienced it.
In the Crescent Moon Martial Academy, there are 8,642 warriors in the Sensing Qi Stage. There are 29,113 fighters in the stage of introducing Qi into the body, but there are only 856 fighters in the stage of Tongmai. In fact, the 100 places will be selected among the 856 people in the end, and the rest of them are just here to experience, to accumulate some fighting experience, and to know the gap between them and the strong. And usually in the case of a large difference in strength, the strong warrior will not kill the opponent, after all, he is a student of an academy. Only when the strength is equal, will they lose control and kill the opponent by mistake.
With so many people participating in the big competition, the Martial Academy did not choose to draw lots at all in the first round of the competition, but directly selected 8,642 people with relatively weak cultivation bases from the Qi-entraining phase to compete with the 8,642 people in the Qi-inducing phase. Thousand six hundred and forty two, this is to let the warriors in the Qi-introducing stage directly eliminate the warriors in the Sensing stage, let them know the gap with the strong before, and work harder in the future.
Qin Shuang is at the pinnacle of the ninth floor of the entraining energy into the body stage, and it's not her turn to play yet.
There are a hundred arenas, and one hundred people are eliminated at a time. Almost none of the martial artists at the qi-sensing stage in each arena are one-stroke opponents of the martial artists at the qi-introducing body stage, but there are a few who can fight with several moves, and there is even a martial artist at the qi-sensing stage who fought against the opponent for five moves. Defeated, and did not burst into an upset.
In just one day, all eight thousand six hundred and forty-two warriors in the Qi Sensing Stage were eliminated. Every audience was drowsy, and at dusk, they yawned and left.
Qin Shuang was also speechless. If she had known this was the case, she would not have come today at all, so she might as well practice at home.
but……
The atmosphere changed markedly the next day. Not only the audience, but each warrior is also full of fighting spirit.
Today will be a competition among fighters at the stage of entraining energy into the body. In this round of competition, only 856 people will win, and the rest will be eliminated, and then the 856 people and the general The warriors in the meridian stage fight against each other.
A special space was set aside in the auditorium for the eight hundred and fifty-six warriors in the meridian period. In this round, they were still spectators, watching the competition with a relaxed demeanor, wantonly commenting, and even laughing.
More spectators flocked to Xianyue Wuyuan today, because they all knew that the Seventh Princess Qin Shuang would play in this round. There was a buzzing sound in the auditorium, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Hey, you said that now that the Seventh Princess' cheating has been leaked out, there has been an uproar, and the whole country knows about it. Now that so many eyes are on her, she doesn't dare to cheat anymore, right?"
"I don't think so anymore! Being a human being won't be so shameless."
"Then what is there to see!"
"Why didn't you see it? The seventh princess didn't quit. Didn't you see her coming? This means that she will still play. Maybe the seventh princess can win the spot with her strength?"
"Did you drink too much horse urine? Seventh Princess is only in the stage of entraining Qi into the body, how can she compete with warriors in the stage of Tongmai?"
"Anyway, I support the Seventh Princess, even if she cheats, but have you ever thought that once she wins the spot, she will enter the Crescent Moon Secret Realm. The Crescent Moon Secret Realm is much more dangerous than the arena. Similar to, she entered After entering the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, how can he cheat? A person whose meridians are blocked by cartilage, but has been refusing to give up, risking his life to enter the Crescent Moon Secret Realm in order to obtain resources, just relying on this will to not give up, is worthy of admiration."
"Chi..." There was a sneer from the crowd: "Since she can cheat on the ring, she can naturally hire a group of warriors to protect her in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm. What danger will she have?"
"You... fart!" The warrior who supported Qin Shuang blushed and had a thick neck.
"Stop arguing!" Another warrior said at this time: "As soon as the big competition starts, we will be able to see if the seventh princess has cheated."
On one side of the auditorium that was separately marked out, eight hundred and fifty-six warriors in the Tongmai stage were divided into three camps and sat there. Centered on three people, one is Wu Youzu from Tianfengtang, the other is He Jin from Tianlongtang, and the other is Yun Zhenzhen from Lingyuntang. The cultivation bases of the three are all at the peak of the ninth floor of the Tongmai period, but there are subtle differences in their true strength. In previous annual competitions, the three of them were ranked first by He Jin, second by Wu Cui, and third by Yun Zhenzhen. However, at this time, when the eyes of the three people collided, countless sparks seemed to collide in the air. Everyone's eyes showed extreme confidence. Although the three people had not talked with each other, the air was full of gunpowder.
It's not their fault, because the rewards of the Crescent Moon Academy are not simple, because the rewards of the Crescent Moon Academy are not simple, although the rewards are only for the top ten, but the rewards are not cheap.
As long as they enter the top ten, everyone will get a mustard pill. The mustard pill can help a martial artist in the meridian stage to break through the dantian stage, increasing the chance by 30%, which is very precious to a martial artist in the meridian stage.
This is still the top ten rewards, and there are even more rewards for being the top three.
The third place will get a low-grade Xuan-level spirit weapon, the second place will get a mid-grade Xuan-level spirit weapon, and the first place will get a high-grade Xuan-level spirit weapon. This is already a great reward for the Crescent Moon Kingdom, so these three people who are sure to be in the top three are all aiming to get the first place and get that mysterious high-grade spiritual weapon. So before the three of them started to fight, they showed the momentum of who was fighting for the front.
This is a rule that every martial artist knows clearly. After winning, one must be humble. But before the competition, you have to be high-profile, and you must overwhelm your opponent in terms of temperament, so that the opponent's psychology will be burdened first. Even if it only causes a slight psychological burden on the opponent, then in the confrontation, they will have a slight advantage, and perhaps because of this slight advantage, they will gain an overwhelming advantage, and finally turn the advantage into a victory.
As the No. 1 He Jin naturally showed a more domineering aura, the gazes of the three intertwined and collided in the air. He Jin was the first to show a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Wu Allou, Yun Zhenzhen, don't think about the prize for the first place, you two, with that strength, you two should think about how to compete for the second place."
"Hmph!" Wu Youyou and Yun Zhenzhen snorted at the same time, Wu Youyou raised his eyebrows, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"He Jin, last time it was just that I was in a bad state, which allowed you to insidiously win half the trick. This time I will use your blood to wash away my shame."
He Jin was unmoved, but looked at Yun Zhenzhen, with a sincere smile on his face and said:
"Really, I got that mysterious high-grade spiritual weapon, can I give it to you?"
Yun Zhenzhen glanced at him indifferently, and said a word coldly:
"Life!"
"I'm serious, don't cherish words like gold, okay? Besides, we don't have to work hard! As long as you say something, I can give you the first place."
"Get out!" Yun Zhenzhen still cherishes words like gold.
"Puff ha ha ha..."
Wu Chuquan laughed, except for the warriors of Tianlongtang who glared at him, the rest of the warriors laughed loudly. No one pays attention to Qin Shuang. In the hearts of those martial artists in the Tongmai period, Qin Shuang is a joke. They can pinch him to death at will, so it is not worth paying attention to.
but……
But there was one person, only one person, and her eyes were fixed on the one-month-white figure among the martial artists at the stage of entraining energy into the body below, fixed on Qin Shuang. His eyes were full of resentment and undisguised killing intent.
This person is Ouyang Yanran!
Qin Shuang ripped the pants on her buttocks, making her show her beauty in public, which she regarded as a great shame and humiliation.
It's not over yet, Qin Shuang even slapped her grandma's ass...
Now the two of them, grandparent and grandson, have become a big joke of the Xianyue Martial Academy, she even feels that when every man looks at her, he is looking at her ass. These days, she is almost going crazy, and the resentment in her heart has accumulated to the breaking point; critical point.
Only by killing Qin Shuang can this shame be washed away.
Her hand involuntarily grabbed the hilt of the sword, and the murderous intent in her eyes shot towards Qin Shuang below as if it were real. Qin Shuang frowned slightly, her soul keenly felt the killing intent, she couldn't help but turned her head and looked up, and saw that bunch of killing intent eyes that seemed to be real. Qin Shuang's eyes shrank, and her eyes condensed into two beams of killing intent. For those who want to kill themselves, Qin Shuang will never be soft.
VIP table.
The murderous eyes of Qin Shuang and Ouyang Yanran were caught by Qin Meiyu and Qin Wu who had been following Qin Shuang all the time. The two couldn't help but smile slightly at the same time, and secretly said in their hearts:
"You don't need your own people to take action. Ouyang Yanran on the fifth floor of the Tongmai period can definitely kill Qin Shuang, so the two of them can also avoid the suspicion of murdering their sister. If they don't tell the truth, the queen mother will not blame herself.
hehe……
Seventh Sister sucks her ass so well, she's going to kill herself, hehe..."
"You really let Shuang'er just compete for the spot?" Qin Wudi lowered his voice and said to Qin Xianyue.
Qin Xianyue said nothing, just nodded slightly.
"She will die." Qin Wudi said in a concentrated voice.
Qin Xianyue frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said calmly: "This is the path she chose herself. Since she refuses to give up martial arts, her path will be full of thorns. Sooner or later, she will face the choice of life and death , it's just a little early now. And... I can't stop her Dao heart towards martial arts. If I really stop her, although she won't die, it's no different from dying, but A living walking dead. Uncle, do you want Shuang'er to return to the life of self-defeating and self-abandoning in the past?"
Qin Wudi was stunned for a while, before turning into a sigh.
"Second waste, you have to be careful of Ouyang Yanran!" Qin Qian beside Qin Shuang said in a low voice: "I think she wants to tear you to pieces with her eyes."
