Chapter 301: The competition begins!
Among the dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators who were watching the battle in the air, many of them started talking at this moment.
On a big yellow gourd, an old man with white beard and long hair stroked his beard and a kind smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Qiyuan, "Zhang Yan is worthy of being one of the ten geniuses of our Zhang family. He seems to have made some progress in recent times."
"Hahaha, Zhang Qiyuan, what nonsense are you talking about, old ghost?"
The beautiful woman standing on the flying sword next to her covered her mouth and chuckled, "As one of the foundation-building seeds of our Zhang family, isn't it normal to have such talent and strength?"
"After all, this is a genius who can comprehend the realm of mind during the Qi training period. It is normal for him to have superior strength and progress at a high speed."
"Even if Zhang Yan came from our Zhang family, he would still be a genius!"
“That’s true…” Old man Zhang Qiyuan stroked his beard and laughed.
On the platform
Amid their enthusiastic discussion, the competition in the ring continued.
Under the watchful eyes of the time-traveling body and Zhang Yong, the competition on ring No. 13 ended quickly.
The time-traveling body took a look and knew it was his turn. After nodding to Zhang Yong, he walked towards the ring.
As he stepped into the ring, some people recognized him immediately.
"Isn't this the opponent that Qingyang Sword faced during the last competition?"
“Yes, yes!”
After he finished speaking, some people who originally just thought he looked familiar suddenly realized who he was.
Although this young man was unknown and unworthy of mention, Qingyang Sword was the focus of everyone's attention. As his first opponent, he was defeated so miserably that they couldn't help but remember him.
At least, they were deeply impressed by the scene where the young man fell out of the ring in a panic, although they only remembered it because of the power of the Qingyang Sword.
"He's still coming to the competition this month?"
"In just one month, what improvements can be made?"
The monks around the arena shook their heads. They no longer had any expectations for the upcoming competition, as they had basically anticipated what would happen.
Sure enough, not long after, they saw the other person fighting on the No. 13 ring.
I saw that the other person had a tall figure and a handsome face. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old and looked a little immature.
"It's Zhang Wuming!"
Someone in the crowd recognized who this man was.
"I heard that Zhang Wuming reached the fourth level of Qi training half a year ago. Zhang Yun has no chance of winning. Last time, he was still at the second level of Qi training. There was no way he could beat Zhang Wuming."
During the discussion, the many monks watching lost all expectations, as if they had foreseen the outcome.
Under the ring, Zhang Yong was originally somewhat confident in Zhang Yun, but now he couldn't help but sigh, "Little brother Zhang Yun is really unlucky. He actually met a Qi training level 4 player. I thought he could win a few games!"
Although he knew a little more than the others, and knew that the young man had reached the third level of Qi training, and even achieved a small success in spiritual arts, but...
There is still some gap between these and the fourth level of Qi training!
In a nutshell, it will be very difficult for Brother Zhang Yun to win.
While many monks watching the fight were not optimistic about the time-traveling body, some conversations were taking place on the ring at this moment.
Zhang Wuming, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old and had a handsome face, was looking proudly at his opponent not far away.
He said arrogantly, "I advise you to be sensible and admit defeat. You are only at the second level of Qi training. Where do you get the courage to stand in front of me?!"
After saying this, seeing that the young man still didn't move at all, Zhang Wuming said disdainfully, "It seems that you haven't realized the gap between us yet, then I'll let you see it later."
At this time, the man who judged the competition looked at them and said, "Are you ready?"
They both nodded.
After getting their confirmation, he said, "Let the competition begin!"
After he finished speaking, Zhang Wuming, with an expression of arrogance and contempt on his face, took the first step.
"Water Arrow Technique!"
A powerful blue water arrow condensed and appeared, and the next second it shot towards the body.
Looking at the flying water arrow, Zhang Wuming's face was filled with pride, as if he had already seen the time traveler being defeated in one blow and the people around him exclaiming in surprise.
Thinking of this, he became excited.
However, just as he was imagining how the onlookers would exclaim after he defeated the young man named Zhang Yun, the scene that appeared before him stunned him.
I saw that the water arrow that was shooting out was stopped halfway!
What blocked the water arrow was also a similar water arrow.
This situation made him stunned.
With my strength at the fourth level of Qi training, how could I possibly be blocked by a water arrow fired by a second level Qi training? !
As he was thinking this, he sensed something the next second and was stunned.
The aura emitted by the person in front of him did not seem like that of a person at the second level of Qi training, but rather...
"Fourth level of Qi training!"
"You have actually reached the fourth level of Qi training!"
Zhang Wuming let out a cry of surprise.
Not only him, but many monks who were watching the battle at this time were also shocked.
Because it was considered impolite to use spiritual thoughts to spy on others without permission, they did not use their spiritual thoughts to spy before starting.
Before the young man released his aura, except for those at the Foundation Establishment stage who might be able to see something, they could not detect the young man's cultivation level.
However, just when they didn't care and even took it for granted that the other party must be at the second level of Qi training, the result...
The other party is at the fourth level of Qi training? !
"I remember he was still at the second level of Qi training last month. How did he advance to the fourth level in just one month?"
"This boy should have five elements mixed spiritual roots, right?"
The faces of the monks around the arena were filled with astonishment.
Not far from the stage, Zhang Yong opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, "Brother Zhang Yun's cultivation has actually reached the fourth level?"
He was shocked.
As the noisy voices drifted away amidst the discussions, people looking at the other arenas couldn't help but look over here.
After understanding what happened, they all turned their eyes to the ring and looked at the boy who was about fifteen years old with surprise in their eyes.
Five elements and mixed spiritual roots, advancing from the second level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training ?
Not to mention that they were surprised, even several Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sky cast curious glances in this direction.
At this time, on the ring, Zhang Wuming's face turned red. He thought of some of the things he had said before, about asking the young man in front of him to admit defeat and realize the gap between them.
If the boy only had the strength of the second level of Qi training, then there would be nothing wrong with saying this, and others would not think it was a big deal, but now the other party is also at the fourth level of Qi training...
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to detect some mocking looks from the crowd watching the game.
At this moment, his face turned red and blue.
A few seconds later, looking at Zhang Yun not far away, he blushed and snorted coldly, "Humph, even if you are also at the fourth level of Qi training, so what?"
"Don't think I will lose to you. You must have just broken through to the fourth level. I don't believe that I, who has broken through for half a year, can't beat you!"
As he spoke, he pinched his right hand and unleashed another water arrow.
Not far away, the time traveler looked at the blue water arrow that was about to attack. Not only was he not panicked at all, but he was also thinking about how much strength he should exert.
"Forget it, let's just show off our spiritual arts. I won't use the artistic conception for now, and I'll also hold back on my spiritual arts. I'll just show off my small accomplishments."
Like the water arrow technique that defeated Zhang Wuming not long ago, he just used it at an ordinary level.
After all, spiritual arts and artistic conception are both trump cards, and it is enough to use them enough. It is better not to expose them completely if possible. Hiding them can also give the opponent a surprise.
Thinking of this, he made a hand gesture with his right hand almost at the same time as Zhang Wuming.
The next moment, two water arrows appeared together, one in front and one behind, and under the deliberate control of the two people, the two water arrows collided straight with each other!
A second before the collision, Zhang Wuming subconsciously showed some confidence on his face.
"I have been practicing Qi at the fourth level for half a year, but I still can't beat you who just broke through?"
"I was able to resist it before, but I was afraid of killing you, so I didn't use my full strength yet!"
Thinking so disdainfully, he looked expectantly at the water arrows that were about to collide with each other.
In the comparison of water arrows, the winner will be decided immediately!
He was daydreaming here, and many monks around the arena were thinking similar things at this time.
Like Zhang Wuming, they also felt that Zhang Wuming should have a slight advantage in this water arrow.
However, the next second, the scene that appeared in their eyes shocked them again.
After the two water arrows collided head-on with each other, the water arrow of the young Zhang Yun actually broke through the water arrow of Zhang Wuming with unstoppable force!
Moreover, it seemed very easy and effortless, not forced at all. It was not just a slight advantage but a complete crushing victory!
How is that possible!
what happened?
They were stunned here, and Zhang Wuming on the ring was also stunned, feeling only disbelief in his heart.
How is this possible? They are both at the fourth level of Qi training, so how could this guy's water arrows disperse his own so easily!
But he didn't have time to think, because the next second the water arrow shot towards him. He should have been able to dodge it, but because he was stunned, he didn't react.
"ah!"
Zhang Wuming screamed as water arrows shot out of his chest and blood splattered.
With a thud, he fell to the ground, covering the bloody hole in his chest, his face full of disbelief.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man who made the judgment hurriedly took out two white healing talismans from his storage bag and without saying a word, slapped them on the bloody holes on Zhang Wuming's chest and back.
Soon, the two holes that were bleeding were covered with buds of flesh wriggling and intertwining...
After a while, the two bloody holes healed!
Of course, although Zhang Wuming's wounds had healed, his face was still very pale, and it was obvious that his injuries had not yet fully healed.
And at this moment, his expression seemed very dull, as if he couldn't believe that he had lost like this?
Just when he was stunned and many of the surrounding monks were stunned, a surprised voice suddenly came from the sky.
"Xiaocheng's water arrow technique, interesting!"
The slightly old voice floated slowly and was heard clearly by thousands of people with sharp ears and eyes.
"What?"
"Minor spiritual skill?"
At this moment, sounds of shock and realization rang out one after another.
"No wonder Zhang Wuming lost. So that's why. Xiaocheng's spiritual technique..."
After understanding the reason, the monks looked at the traveling body in shock.
A small achievement in spiritual arts!
This young man had actually mastered a minor spiritual skill that very few people could master!
How long has this guy been practicing?
And if they remembered correctly, this guy was only at the second level of Qi training . This month, not only did he reach the fourth level of Qi training, but he also achieved some success in his spiritual arts?
If the improvement of cultivation can be explained by good luck and encountering spiritual objects, then the comprehension of spiritual arts is different and can almost only be explained by talent!
So, this young man mastered the spiritual arts to a small degree in just one month?
Is this a monster?
After a moment of astonishment, voices discussing the time-traveling body appeared one after another.
"Does this little brother really have five elements mixed spiritual roots?"
"He hasn't been practicing for long, has he?"
As they discussed, everyone realized belatedly that this young man named Zhang Yun seemed to have only been practicing for two months?
In just two months, he was able to raise his cultivation to the fourth level of Qi training, and also improve his spiritual skills to a small level of success?
A man in his late thirties sighed, "Let's put aside the issue of the five elements' mixed spiritual roots. It's already amazing that he can achieve this in two months. This kid is a little genius."
"Yes, to be this good in just two months, he can indeed be called a little genius."
"Yes, although not as good as Zhang Yan and other ten geniuses, but it is still pretty good..."
At this time, the monks watching could not help but cast admiring glances at the traveling body, and kept expressing their praises.
As for those pessimistic words they said before the competition started, they had already selectively forgotten them at this moment.
What is that?
Did they say it?
On the ring.
Zhang Wuming listened to those words with a dazed look on his face. The pride he had at the beginning had long disappeared, and now only confusion and bewilderment remained.
Small success in spiritual arts!
“How could it be…”
Is this guy a little genius?
Zhang Wuming couldn't believe it.
At the same time, thinking of what he had said before, his face turned blue and black.
He felt a little resentful in his heart. If he had made some progress in his spiritual arts, he should have used them earlier. That way, he would not have said those embarrassing words!
The gap was so huge. If he had known this earlier, he would have wisely admitted defeat!
He didn't want to come up and embarrass himself, and didn't want to see how powerful this young man was...
High in the sky.
The gazes of dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators were now also cast on the time-traveling body.
At this moment, they are also discussing him
"He has made some progress in spiritual arts, and he can be considered a little genius..."
Zhang Qiyuan on the yellow gourd stroked his white beard and said something admiring.
As he was talking, his gaze turned to a person, an old man with a white beard and dressed in green.
"Zhang Yuanqing, did you make a mistake when you tested your spiritual roots?"
"This kid can barely be considered a little genius. Is he really just a mixed spiritual root of the five elements?"
The person he was questioning was Elder Zhang Yuanqing, who had tested the spiritual roots of the time-traveling body.
Elder Zhang Yuanqing was stunned when he heard this.
