Chapter 342: The Competition Scene
"arrive!"
Sitting cross-legged on the spaceship, the two middle-aged men in the Foundation Establishment Stage who were guarding the family genius to participate in the competition opened their eyes at the same time.
Everyone on the spaceship who was busy with their own things because of boredom looked around meaningfully after hearing the words, and then immediately saw the destination of this trip.
Soon, amazement appeared in their eyes.
A huge square appeared in the distance, with densely packed people coming and going on it. Some stalls could also be seen, and from time to time someone would squat down to ask the price and buy things.
There are some arenas in the center of the square, and rows of seats from low to high surrounding the arenas, somewhat similar to the Roman Colosseum.
The time traveler's eyes showed surprise.
There are a lot of people here. From what I have observed, there should be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
"Is it so lively?" he asked in surprise.
At this time, the spacecraft approached the sky above the square and began to descend slowly.
At the same time, the burly one of the two middle-aged men in the Foundation Establishment Realm spoke up to remind them, "You guys should be careful next time. There are all kinds of people here. Try not to conflict with others if you can."
"Before the competition begins, you can move freely. Here are the message talisman and the amulet..."
Then, he took out dozens of talismans from his pocket and distributed two to each of them.
"If there is anything, activate the message amulet. We will arrive as soon as we receive the news. This amulet can block a blow from the Foundation Establishment Realm..."
Listening to his instructions, Zhang Yan and others nodded in response, indicating that they understood.
After a while, as the spaceship docked outside the square, the time traveler and others got off the spaceship one by one.
In order to avoid trouble, the time traveler wore a wooden mask on his face. Although his temperament still looked very eye-catching and attracted people's frequent observation, at least there would not be a group of people crowded together, forming a congested situation.
Not long after getting off the spaceship, everyone spontaneously formed small groups.
It seemed like Zhang Shoushan and Zhang Yuying got together and walked towards him.
"Little brother Zhang Yun, shall we go for a walk together?" Zhang Yuying said with a smile.
After glancing at the stalls in the distance, the time traveler did not refuse and nodded.
Zhang Yan, who was far away, saw him and Zhang Shoushan together, so he didn't come over and went straight to find other people.
The time traveler and Zhang Shoushan looked at each stall.
He saw all kinds of strange things on those stalls, wood carvings, saplings, jade slips, animal skins...all kinds of things.
At this time, Zhang Shoushan saw something he wanted and walked straight to the stall, and the two followed him.
Originally, the time traveler just came to take a look, and would leave as long as Zhang Shoushan bought something good. However, when he saw a book on the stall, his eyes lit up.
The surface of the book is brown, looks very ancient, and is covered with traces of time.
And on the cover there are three words written: Five Elements Kung Fu.
Unable to help himself, he squatted down and checked.
The stall owner glanced at them and then continued to be in a daze, ignoring them.
After opening it and taking a look, the time traveler's thoughts were confirmed.
This really is a method for absorbing the five elements' spiritual energy for cultivation!
At this time, Zhang Shoushan, who was squatting next to him, spoke up, "How many spirit stones are these?"
In his hand he held a small golden sword.
"Two middle-grade spirit stones."
"It's a bit expensive..."
He soon started bargaining with the stall owner, and finally bought the sword for one medium-grade spirit stone and nine low-grade spirit stones.
Zhang Shoushan took out the spirit stone with a painful feeling.
Seeing his appearance, the time traveler couldn't help but check the storage bag of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and found that there were thirteen high-grade spirit stones and dozens of mid-grade spirit stones in it.
He breathed a sigh of relief and returned his gaze to the technique, "Compared to the Water Spirit Technique, this technique is more suitable for me."
If you practice this technique, your spiritual arts will no longer be limited to water-related spiritual arts.
"Well, why is it incomplete?"
Suddenly, he was startled to find that the back of the martial arts book had been torn, and it seemed that only half of it was left or even less.
"This technique is an ancient technique, but it is incomplete. It only contains the parts on training qi and building the foundation."
The time-traveling body looked up and found that the person making the voice was the stall owner.
"This technique is only suitable for cultivators with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements. It is basically a useless technique. If you want it, you only need three high-quality spirit stones."
The middle-aged stall owner looked at the books in his hands with a look of disgust on his face.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Yuying on the side immediately said in surprise, "Three high-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a bunch of medium-grade spirit stones. This is too expensive. Is it worth it for just this incomplete Five Elements Skill?"
The stall owner shook his head and said, "It's not worth it, but it is an ancient technique after all, and it also includes foundation building content. This price is already very fair."
"Do you think the three of us in the Qi training stage can produce three top-grade spirit stones?" Zhang Yuying said speechlessly.
The stall owner glanced at her and said calmly, "So I was just introducing it casually, and I didn't think you could afford it."
Zhang Yuying frowned and was about to say that she was sick when she heard Zhang Yun's voice coming from the side.
"Can it be cheaper?" asked the time traveler.
“No, this price is already very…” The stall owner was about to refuse, but was immediately stunned by what he saw.
"Oh, here you go." He directly threw three high-quality spirit stones to the stall owner.
This scene shocked Zhang Yuying and the other person, and also made the stall owner look surprised.
"Little cousin Zhang Yun, where did you get these high-quality spirit stones?" Zhang Shoushan asked in shock.
"Oh, I picked it up." Under the disbelieving gazes of the three people, the time-traveling body stood up with the Five Elements Power.
Not long after, the three men left, leaving the stall owner confused.
He really couldn't understand how a person in the Qi training stage could come up with a top-grade spirit stone.
The three of them strolled for a while, and then they heard a burst of exclamations coming from beside them.
"Look, it's Kou Beichen!"
The three time travelers followed his direction and looked into the distance.
I saw a handsome young man in white, well-dressed and imposing, surrounded by a group of people, walking slowly towards here.
"Who is this person?" As the time traveler showed doubt in his eyes, a sighing voice came from beside him.
"Kou Beichen from the Tianjian Sect, I heard he's ranked 23rd on the Young Talents Dragon and Phoenix Ranking!"
"At the age of only 23, he has already cultivated to the tenth level of Qi training, and has mastered the sharp sword state, and it is as high as 60%!"
Before long after he finished speaking, a rebuttal voice appeared.
"That's old news. Ranked 23rd? This news is outdated!"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"I heard that Kou Beichen has awakened a rare sword body. Not only has his cultivation aptitude improved to a higher level, but his combat power has also increased by an unknown amount!"
"His ranking has been revised by the Tianji Pavilion and changed to fifth!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a cry of surprise from all around.
"What!"
"fifth?"
Some people in the crowd were shocked by the ranking at first, and then became surprised.
"No way! I heard that the sword body is a very powerful special physique. After Kou Beichen has the sword body, he can only rank fifth?"
This fact shocked the people around even more.
At this time, a thin old man in the crowd smiled and said, "What's the big deal? You should know that Kou Beichen is not the only one who has a strange physique."
"Everyone in the top five of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking is a child of destiny. Although their mastery of artistic conception is about the same, their physiques are different. Kou Beichen's physique is not the strongest among them!"
After these words were spoken, some people who didn't know what kind of physiques the top five people had, became more and more amazed.
The sword body can raise Kou Beichen's ranking so much, which obviously shows how powerful the sword body is. And there are actually four people with stronger physiques above him?
Listening to their words, the time traveler showed surprise in his eyes.
"Special physique?"
From their words, it is easy to analyze that there are many people with excellent physiques on the so-called Dragon and Phoenix List.
Thinking about his own physique with five elements and mixed spiritual roots, the time-traveling body couldn't help but look helpless.
It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
At this moment, the communication talismans of the three of them suddenly became hot, and the voice of a middle-aged man came from them.
"It's about to start, come back."
The three of them looked at each other, gave up watching, and quickened their pace towards the base.
After a while, everyone returned to the base and followed the two foundation-building elders to line up to draw lots.
While they were queuing up to draw lots, people from Qingyun Sect also arrived.
"Senior Brother Zhang, it's so lively here." Wei Beibei observed the environment in amazement.
If the time traveler was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the girl who was speaking was the girl with three spiritual roots who appeared during the spiritual roots test in Qingfei Town half a year ago.
At this time, her cultivation had already reached the fourth level of Qi training.
The Senior Brother Zhang he was asking about was one of the three people who selected the spiritual roots.
At this time, Wei Beibei continued to ask curiously, "Brother Zhang, will the guy with five elements mixed spiritual roots that you mentioned half a year ago come to participate in the competition now?"
Zhang Yujin, who looked like a middle-aged man, stroked his long beard and felt helpless when he heard this.
He smiled and said, "With your aptitude of three spiritual roots, you have only just broken through to the middle stage. I think that kid is still stuck in the early stage. With this level of cultivation, it should be impossible for him to come here to participate in the competition."
"Of course, who knows, maybe that kid will be brought here to broaden his horizons."
Wei Beibei showed a look of regret when she heard this, "Really? That's a pity. I wanted to show that former martial arts genius how powerful he is."
But at this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the queue in front of her.
"It must be him!" Wei Beibei pointed forward excitedly.
Zhang Yujin was stunned and looked forward. He immediately felt that the back of the person in front of him looked a little familiar.
Is that the boy?
"That's great!" Wei Beibei said excitedly, "I wonder if he will participate in the competition. If he does, I will definitely make him look bad when we meet!"
Zhang Yujin, who was standing next to him, showed helplessness on his face. "What's the point of comparing this? With your cultivation level of the middle stage of Qi training, you're going to bully a guy in the early stage of Qi training?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boys and girls around him burst into laughter.
Listening to the laughter of her fellow students, Wei Beibei muttered unconvincedly, "I just want to win once."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Yujin looked helpless. "I hope he can participate in the competition, and you can meet him. Then you will naturally see the gap between you two."
Hearing him say this, Wei Beibei finally smiled. Looking at the young man's back not far away, a burning fighting spirit appeared in her eyes.
The time-traveling body sensed someone was watching it, and subconsciously turned its head and saw the girl named Wei Beibei.
"Is it her?"
Noticing the fighting spirit in her eyes, he thought, "Strange guy."
The next second, he turned his head back.
Half an hour later, after drawing the lots, he followed the Foundation Establishment Elder to the stands, where he sat down to watch the battle while waiting to go on stage.
Among hundreds of arenas, he saw several interesting people, including a young guy who had already reached the perfection of Qi training, which surprised him for a while.
At this time, the spirit of the formation in the jade pendant on his waist swept over the people on the stage, and immediately felt disdain, and said in a voice transmission, "They are just a bunch of fancy-looking people with only cultivation skills. They are far inferior to you!"
The time traveler didn't say anything when he heard this, but just smiled.
Soon, as this round of competition was over, it was his turn to play as he was lucky enough.
When he stood on the ring and looked at the young man not far away, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
This person only has the second level of Qi training?
"Were they sent by some weak force?"
The young man opposite was stunned. Looking at him wearing a mask but with an ethereal temperament, he suddenly became nervous.
It's gonna be bad!
"I am Sun Yansheng from the Shanquan Sect. Please give me your guidance!" he stuttered.
"Zhang Yun from the Zhang family of Fengling Valley."
The traversing being nodded.
Before the competition started, the arena had already attracted quite a few people, most of whom were attracted by the mask on his face and his temperament.
Of course, there are also people who pay special attention to this place. In addition to our own family, there is also a group of people from Qingyun Sect.
"Junior Sister Wei Beibei, your opponent has arrived!"
An ordinary-looking boy said with a smile.
When Wei Beibei saw it, she immediately prayed nervously, "Don't lose!"
Then, I don’t know if her prayers worked, but the man named Zhang Yun actually won!
And the cultivation level he showed had actually reached the third level of Qi training!
Wei Beibei showed a look of surprise on her face. She was somewhat shocked that a person with five elements and mixed spiritual roots could cultivate to the third level of Qi training in half a year.
Zhang Yujin, who was not far from him, sighed, "This kid has good luck. With his five-element mixed spiritual roots, he was able to cultivate to this level in a short period of time."
They were sighing here, but Zhang Shoushan and others who were not far away had strange expressions on their faces.
"Is little brother Zhang Yun hiding again?"
"The seventh level of Qi training is actually hidden as the third level of Qi training..."
The two foundation-building elders now had strange looks on their faces, and Zhang Ji, who had suffered greatly from this, gnashed his teeth.
