AWB Chapter 409 Two-Person Competition 1
Chapter 409 Two-Person Competition 1
The tense and exciting doubles competition began, and the Tianji Sect allowed ample time for the disciples participating in the individual competition to rest and recuperate.
For three whole days, Cheng Jiu still couldn't find a disciple to partner with. The disciples she knew already had targets in mind, and the disciples she didn't know dared to step forward after witnessing her strength, for fear of holding her back.
In the end, only Senior Brother Lan Chang and Cheng Jiu were left, sharing the same fate. The two met by chance under the arena and looked at each other.
Before Senior Brother Lan Chang could say anything, Cheng Jiu didn't hesitate at all, and pulled Senior Sister Yingyue away.
Even Cheng Jiu refused to cooperate with Senior Brother Lan Chang, let alone other disciples. It wasn't that no disciples came to him seeking cooperation, after all, compared to Cheng Jiu, Lan Chang was not as dazzling.
At first, Lan Chang had very high standards and was picky about the disciples who came to his door, making it difficult to make a decision.
As the time was running out, I lowered my standards a little.
The disciples who had tried to collaborate with him all refused, and the situation instantly reversed.
No disciple was willing to team up with him. Just as Cheng Jiu felt, Lan Chang's sword intent was too fierce, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe.
The disciples who came to him felt that, just like when they were cooperating or fighting with Lan Chang, their sword intent was being frantically provoked by the mad dog next to them.
Once they're in the ring, is this still a two-person match? This is clearly a 1v3! In every sense of the word!
So they refused, because they couldn't control this mad dog at all, and would be devoured by it!
"Junior sister! Junior sister!"
Before Cheng Jiu could take two steps, he heard shouts that grew louder and louder.
Even amidst the noisy crowd, it remained incredibly loud and precise.
It's obvious that this guy used spiritual power when he shouted.
Cheng Jiu really wanted to pretend she didn't hear, but seeing that this guy was clearly not going to let it go, she turned her head slightly and saw the guy who had followed her in a few steps.
The boy flashed a bright, sunny smile: "Junior sister, I'm calling you!"
They didn't feel at all that their behavior was inappropriate.
"Senior Brother Lan Chang." Cheng Jiu greeted Yingyue and Wen Sishu with a fake smile.
The two stood to the side, watching Cheng Jiu and Lan Chang with curious eyes.
Lan Chang and the others naturally recognized them; none of the Guiyuan Sect's participating disciples were unfamiliar with the disciples who had made it into the top ten.
I just had no prior interaction with this senior.
For the Nascent Soul Realm competition, they went to another place, which is why they seemed more unfamiliar to others.
"What can I do for you, Senior Brother?" Cheng Jiu stood in front of Lan Chang, she was a head shorter than Lan Chang.
The other person had an elegant figure and a sunny, cheerful appearance; his smile was quite attractive to the young disciples.
He blinked his puppy-dog eyes, feigning innocence: "Can't I come to see you, Junior Sister, if there's nothing wrong? Waaah, Junior Sister, you're so heartless!"
“Of course.” Cheng Jiu interrupted his dramatic act directly, her gaze clear: “Tell me your purpose.”
"Junior sister, you haven't found any teammates yet!" Interrupted, Lan Chang wasn't annoyed. He watched Cheng Jiu's exceptionally bright smile as he kept glancing at the people around her.
"No group, no marriage, don't look for me!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiu didn't even wait for him to finish speaking before directly rejecting him three times in a row. He grabbed Yingyue's arm, his whole body exuding an aura of resistance: "Being an audience member is just as good as being here!"
Lan Chang instantly became dejected, his eyes drooping, and his neat hair became slightly messy, making him look extremely aggrieved.
"I thought I could go up on stage and have a friendly competition."
"Two people, you and your opponent?" Cheng Jiu complained. Finding someone to team up with? This guy can forget about it for the rest of his life. With that guy's sword intent, he's destined to be a lone wolf for life.
Of course! Cheng Jiu wasn't much better, but she believed her sword intent was relatively well-rounded and she could still coordinate with others.
Lan Chang: "..."
He looked at Cheng Jiu with resentment in his eyes, clearly aware of his own problems.
He squeezed close to Cheng Jiu. The competition between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage ended quickly and didn't attract much attention.
The most popular events in this sect competition are the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage.
This is a duel between two Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Lan Changhui has come specifically to find Cheng Jiu.
Although they suffered a crushing defeat, it was all within Lan Chang's expectations, and he was not disappointed. If Cheng Jiu had been willing to team up with him, he would have agreed at their last meeting.
He came here specifically because he was interested in Cheng Jiu; he was still somewhat unsatisfied with their last encounter.
As it turned out, this junior sister was quite a homebody to some extent, and he couldn't find any free time. He also found out from others that Cheng Jiu had her own little circle.
How do you break into someone's inner circle? By taking the initiative and going to them!
As for whether Cheng Jiu will refuse, an opponent who takes the initiative to come to his door is already intruding!
He glanced at the two alchemists beside him, looking them up and down, but didn't give Wen Sishu much of a second look. Wen Sishu was weak and frail, clearly a pushover.
Lan Chang's gaze fell on Yingyue, and he became more interested. Although her alchemist aura remained, her body and posture clearly showed that she had cultivated. Moreover, he could sense a faint but dangerous aura emanating from Yingyue.
He withdrew his gaze from Yingyue. It was a pity that her cultivation was too weak. He wouldn't bully a Nascent Soul stage child.
However, what if he fails to break through in this Star Domain, and Yingyue does?
They are a formidable opponent.
A fighting spirit rose in Lan Chang's heart, but it was only a trace, since he didn't think he wouldn't break through.
In fact, Lan Chang always looked at Cheng Jiu with the preciousness of a limited edition.
After all, once he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he would never take advantage of his cultivation level to bully the weak.
Cheng Jiu couldn't get rid of his senior brother, so he could only acquiesce to the fact that the guy was following him.
They came to watch the competition between the Miyagi brothers.
These exceptionally talented twins have attracted much attention since their emergence, and betting odds on the two brothers have remained consistently high.
Cheng Jiu, of course, wanted to contribute to his close senior brother, so he bet 10,000 top-grade spirit stones at a 10:1 ratio. If the two of them won first place, Cheng Jiu would get 1,000 top-grade spirit stones, which was quite a lot.
Most people chose to support them; since no Medicine King Valley disciple was taken advantage of, the odds were pretty good.
As for the disciples of Medicine King Valley, each disciple demonstrated their strength to the fullest in the hunting battle. Everyone knows this, and they are not fools, okay?
Therefore, the grand spectacle of Senior Brother Bai clashing with Nan Yanzhe, as seen in the Yunxiao Sect, is destined to be impossible.
The main feature of the two-player competition is randomness; you can't imagine what kind of opponent you'll be matched with.
In this competition, Gong Cheng and Gong Yu faced two cultivators with water elemental roots.
At the start of the competition, the two frantically summoned water, which surged toward the audience, but was quickly contained by a protective shield.
But the disciples watching from the front row didn't realize what was happening and were still drenched in water.
Soon the arena turned into a pool of water, the water constantly rippled, trying to wash the twins off the other side. However, the two were water spirit roots, and they were completely unaffected by this environment.
Gong Yu floated on the water, one hand gently holding his brother's. Blue light flashed in his hand, and water flowed continuously into his empty palm. He glared fiercely at the two opposite him: "Bastards, I also have a water elemental root!"
Moreover, its root value is higher than the other party's.
The opponents, who were gloating over their tactics, turned pale upon hearing this, and watched helplessly as the water they had summoned was used by Gong Yu to create a giant water sphere that hurtled towards the two of them.
Everything went black, and he instantly lost consciousness.
The referee came to the stage at the appropriate time and announced the winner: Miyagi Miyagi won.
"What are these two doing here? Are they trying to make a fool of themselves?"
"Ouch, you splashed water all over me! How awful!"
"However, their tactics are quite interesting. If they hadn't run into those two freakish brothers, they might have actually succeeded!"
"Being able to summon so much water in an instant is quite an achievement!"
"Pity……"
The people around were somewhat disappointed by the hasty end of the competition. They had come specifically for these two abnormal twins, and this was the result?
The ending was so easy that it gave them the illusion that they could do it too.
To see exciting matches, you still have to find rings where the skill levels are evenly matched. This is the wise saying of the audience who left disappointed from Huo Yan and Qin Che's ring.
If the arena between Gong Cheng and Gong Yu still showed the opponent's precise control over water elemental power, then the arena between Qin Che and Huo Yan was simply a disaster.
After the competition, what left the deepest impression on the audience, besides Qin Che's smug and self-satisfied smile, was the sight of their opponents inexplicably collapsing to the ground.
There was no aesthetic appeal in the contest; they didn't even know the strength of their opponents.
He just collapsed to the ground in the blink of an eye.
However, Qin Che and Huo Yan didn't seem to notice anything. After they reunited with their friends, Huo Yan was immediately targeted by Lan Chang.
He entered the sect earlier than Huo Yan, but he never expected that there would be such a low-profile junior brother in the back mountain.
Lan Chang didn't even notice Huo Yan and Qin Che approaching; it was only if Cheng Jiu and the other two hadn't greeted them first.
He's a sword cultivator, you know, he relies on his intuition for a living, and he's been training on the battlefield for so long that he's always on high alert for any danger. Yet even so, he couldn't detect Huo Yan's approach.
This surprised Lan Chang greatly. Like a cat that had found an interesting ball of yarn, he kept rubbing and petting Huo Yan.
Huo Yan tensed up from the commotion. He wasn't one to like being in the spotlight, or rather, because of his own need for attention, he preferred to be alone.
Qin Che was an exception. Being observed by Lan Chang like this, Huo Yan felt uncomfortable and lowered his presence again. He pulled Qin Che aside and hid behind Cheng Jiu to avoid Lan Chang's groping hand.
Seeing Huo Yan's expression, Lan could only awkwardly withdraw his hand.
Junior Sister Jiu's junior brothers and sisters are all shameless, it's just a pity that their cultivation is a bit lacking!
His gaze swept over Qin Che and the others, revealing a hint of regret.
Several people felt a chill run down their spines, with the unsettling feeling that they were some kind of reserve food.
Senior Brother Lan Chang is an eccentric.
Upon their first meeting, both left an indelible first impression on each other!
Huh?!
"Junior Sister! That brat from the Dragon Abyss Sect is hosting a banquet on the top floor of the Fragrant Chrysanthemum Pavilion..." Qin Che tried to divert Lan Chang's attention by bringing up something.
"Free food?" Lan Chang asked curiously.
"Yes, it was delivered personally by Senior Sister Quan Ling, who said it was to apologize."
A day's stay at the top floor of Xiangju Pavilion is quite expensive, not including the dishes. However, I heard that Xiangju Pavilion is owned by that junior disciple's family, so it's still quite a large sum of money.
I heard that Senior Sister Quanling really gave those guys from the Dragon Abyss Sect a hard time these past three days, and only then did they realize their mistake and apologize. Senior Sister, are you going?
"Go! Why not go? I'm talking about that competition. Damn it, no one notified me! Otherwise, I would have definitely had a good fight!" Lan Chang's voice couldn't hide his regret. It was his first time leaving the sect, and Lan Chang was very interested in everything outside.
Although he was at the Nascent Soul stage, this was Lan Chang's first time traveling to the Xuan Tian Continent and seeing the scenery outside. He was very curious about everything.
When he returned to the inn after finding out, the competition had long ended, and the inn had been destroyed. He had to find a suitable place to stay.
Some of his luggage was buried by the inn, but what bothered him most was that he hadn't made it in time!
Damn it!
No one knows Lan Chang's inner thoughts, but as those involved, everyone present knew that Lan Chang did not participate in the battle.
They didn't know why, but seeing his indignant expression, none of them asked.
Finally, led by Lan Chang, the group headed to Xiangju Pavilion.
This is an exquisite pavilion located in the upper eastern corner of Chengdu, famous for the chrysanthemums that bloom everywhere.
In the past, this place only received guests who liked chrysanthemums, and it was uniquely quiet and peaceful.
Now, all those coming and going are people, and they are all disciples of the five major sects, who are obviously invited by Senior Sister Quan Ling.
This is an apology for the Longyuan Sect's recklessness some time ago.
The group, dressed in striking Guiyuan Sect robes, went upstairs without being stopped by anyone.
Upstairs, dozens of seats were put together and filled with all kinds of delicious food, with a few disciples sitting around the tables.
Whether the food is good or bad is not important; every disciple who enters here is involuntarily drawn to the middle-aged man in front of them.
The man and the young disciple beside him looked very similar, except that Xiao Xuanqing had a domineering air about him, while the man gave off a gentle and kind feeling.
However, despite this, the presence of men is even more undeniable.
He Daojun, or rather, Xiao Xuanqing's father.
Quan Ling summoned him from the sect to clean up the mess for her son.
This banquet was his way of expressing his apology.
Xiao Xuanqing, with a bruised and swollen face, stood next to his father, a sight that was incredibly satisfying to watch.
Although it's unclear whether the superficial injury was genuine or deliberately inflicted by his father to elicit sympathy.
However, seeing this black sheep in such a sorry state is still quite pleasing.
From the moment Cheng Jiu and his group entered, Elder Xiao immediately noticed their eye-catching clothes. Such a striking color is unforgettable once seen.
Guiyuan Sect still has so many disciples.
Elder Xiao grabbed his son and walked towards Cheng Jiu and the others.
Xiao Xuanqing held his father's hand, his movements showing great resistance.
Upon seeing Cheng Jiu, he was reminded of the plague god from that day, and also of the strength that Cheng Jiu and the others had displayed in the hunting battle. He wondered if Cheng Jiu was strong enough to give them a good beating.
Elder Xiao also sensed the resistance from his unfilial son and his gaze fell on those promising young disciples. What a coincidence, he had run into the person in question!
