Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1132 The First Battle
Seeing the stone platform shone with cold light, Ying Baoyue was startled.

"This stone doesn't seem to be iron blue stone..." Chen Zichu stared at the stone platform, and found that it was not of the same texture as the iron blue stone high platform prepared by Jixia Academy.

"Soochow is really generous," Song Qian approached from the side, "This is Longlin Rock, which is more precious than iron bluestone!"

Dragon Scale Rock?The practitioners around were startled when they heard this.

Dragon Scale Rock is a legendary hard and extremely impact-resistant stone. It got its name because it is as hard as dragon scales. This stone was not particularly rare at first, but because most of it was used by the former emperors and Taizu Emperors to build The Great Wall of Eternal Night has caused the mineral deposits of Longlinyan in the Shanhai Continent to be almost exhausted, so it is known as a stone with a thousand pieces of gold.

"I didn't expect that there is a battle platform built by Longlinyan hidden in Hanshan Academy." Song Qian sighed, "Soochow really has a profound foundation."

Just look at this high platform hidden in the back mountain, you know that ordinary people are not qualified to use it.

In Zhao Guang's memory, it was just a high platform covered with dust. He had only seen it when Brother Wang broke through, and only now did he know that this high platform is so special.

Today, this stone platform is no longer covered with dust, every piece of dragon scale rock has been polished shiny, the whole stone platform is covered with a layer of profound formation, 32 formation masters stand on the side of the stone platform, 72 armored soldiers The guards held halberds to guard the surroundings, and the air of iron and blood rushed to their faces.

In the distance, there is a viewing pavilion on the higher mountainside of the battle platform. The pavilion seems to be connected with more than a dozen pavilions. There is a protruding terrace in front of the largest pavilion in the center. With a heavy breath, Zhao Guang knew that there was a high platform for the examiners and dignitaries to watch the battle.

His brother, Zhao Muren, should be in the middle pavilion, and the dozen or so pavilions around should be the best viewing boxes where Soochow and nobles from other countries have competed for a long time.

It took Zhao Guang a lot of effort to arrange a small pavilion for Ji Qingyuan, Ji Ange, Li Jinniang and the others. It is said that Li Jinniang even brought a friend.

"Cultivators participating in the battle, gather together!" At this time, Dongfang Yi walked out of the pavilion, walked to the terrace, and waved to the black practitioners in the audience.

In the seventh year of the Warring States Period, the final battle of the Soochow Intermediate Ceremony began.

Sixteen big bells on the cold mountain rang together.

With the sound of the bell, the examiner began to explain the rules to everyone after counting the qualifications of the practitioners.

Although the last battle was unusual, the rules were very common, and there were no complicated rules to talk about in the battle.

Everyone has been practitioners for many years, and they are very familiar with the rules of fighting with real swords. You can fight with a sword, but today is the first day. Because there are too many people, each battle must be time-limited. , if Yizhuxiang cannot tell the winner, then draw lots to decide who will advance.

This also determines that today's battle is destined to be the most brutal, and practitioners will do everything they can to win as soon as possible.

The rules for winning are also simple, if one party falls down and cannot rise again, or the opponent admits defeat, the other party wins.

At the same time, like the elementary ceremony, the battle can hurt people, but it can't be fatal. In order to avoid manslaughter and accidents, if something happens, the examiner will take action to stop it.

But different from the elementary ceremony, in the intermediate ceremony, if two practitioners are willing to sign the life and death certificate before going on stage, the examiner will not care if someone is killed.

The first day is the screening battle. In order to avoid the practitioners feeling unfair, the first round of practitioners who are ranked fifth and above and those who have won the position of leader can all have a bye.

However, according to the practice of the practice world, practitioners who have not been stable for less than three days after breaking through the realm are not included in this list.

Therefore, although there were a lot of fifth-level practitioners in Ruyang City yesterday, there were no more than a dozen practitioners in the first round of byes.

And among the dozen or so people, Ying Baoyue, as the only sixth-ranked one, has attracted the attention of everyone.

"We're going to draw lots," Zhao Guang and Chen Zichu, the unqualified practitioners, waved their hands to draw their opponents in the first round, leaving Ying Baoyue Ji Jiashu and Li Ji in place to enjoy the eyes of everyone.

"Is that former princess of Qin actually getting a bye in the first round? Her realm is obviously so low..."

"After all, she is also the leader of the elementary ceremony... Didn't she play the music pretty well before?"

"She's good at playing music." The expressions of the discussing people softened a little, "but I don't think it's fair for her to stay there alone with a sixth-rank."

"Maybe she lost in the first round, but now she can drag on to the second round."

"Stop talking, the Xirong people are here!"

It was the arrival of a group of people that interrupted the discussion of the common people.

It seemed as if a cold wind from beyond the Great Wall was blowing through the audience, and the Xirong practitioners with spikes all over their bodies went to the lottery place led by Chunyu Ye.

The Xirong cultivator gave up the first round of byes.

A bye is a good thing for high-level practitioners to preserve their physical strength. Originally, the examiners of the Eastern Wu Dynasty wanted to take Naqiao, and Chunyu Ye said that because the cultivation method of Xirong is different from that of the inland, Xirong people may not be eligible for byes. , but did not expect Chunyu Ye to directly and proudly reject the bye qualification.

"If you want to fight, fight, there is so much nonsense."

"Bye? What do you mean? There is no competition in the first round? What's so good about having a bye?"

Hearing Chunyu Ye's words, the dignitaries and dignitaries who heard the words in the war-watching pavilion on the mountainside raised their teacups, mocking smiles appeared on the corners of their mouths.

From their point of view, the king of Xirong Zhai was probably full of muscles and muscles, and he didn't know any tactics at all.

A group of savages are not to be feared.

Originally, the officials were a little apprehensive about the strength of the Xirong people, but yesterday there were so many god dancers in Ruyang City, the people of the six countries and the dignitaries suddenly felt that their backs were stiff.

No matter how powerful the Xirong people are, there are only a few dozen people. Now the number of fifth-level practitioners in the six countries is almost catching up with the total number of Xirong people here.

What are the people of Xirong afraid of?
The draw is over and the first round of matches begins.

The common people cheered and turned their attention to the battle stage. The dignitaries showed reserved smiles in the box, ready to criticize the performance of this year's cultivators. If there are really good seedlings, they can't help but give some rewards.

However, what happened next caught everyone off guard.

Game one of the first round.

A fifth-rank Nanchu practitioner fought against a Xirong practitioner.

"How high is this Xirong man?" Zhao Guang looked back after the lottery was drawn.

"Probably rank six," Ying Baoyue said, "It's just..."

Before she could finish her words, they were already drowned out by the screams of the common people.

In less than a breath of time before the first battle started, the first battle was over.

On the high platform, blood flowed horizontally.

The Southern Chu practitioners who were ranked fifth were defeated by the sixth-ranked practitioners of Xirong.
