Build a faction from scratch

Chapter 84 End
Because Tang Mo was also in the middle stage of foundation establishment, the three of them ate and chatted for a while about possible opponents they might meet in the future.

Xiao Ranran didn't know about his competitors in advance, nor did he know the situation of the sects near Cosmic City, so he could only rely on the names mentioned by Tang Mo and Tang Xuan, and then deal with a few words based on the information in the 001 database.

After the three of them finished eating, Xiao Ranran went to settle the bill with the shopkeeper, and then went back to the inn separately.

For this meal, two people were missing, Xiao Ranran spent 100 low-grade spirit stones and earned [-] points.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ranran arrived at the Gengwu wing on time and started a new round of competition.

The opponent this time was a male monk who looked about forty years old.

Seeing Xiao Ranran coming in, the man greeted Xiao Ranran politely and told him that his name was Chang Ming.

After the two of them threw the wooden signs into the stone plate, Chang Ming took a few steps back and took out a spear from his sleeve.

Xiao Ranran blinked, suppressed her surprise, held the long sword in her hand expressionlessly, and faced Chang Ming.

According to her estimate - Chang Ming's spear is at least one foot and three feet long, and her sword can only be used for blocking at most, and cannot be used for attacking.

Before Xiao Ranran could come up with any countermeasures, Chang Ming came straight to Xiao Ranran holding a spear.

The distance between the two was only two feet, and Chang Ming's magic weapon was very long.Chang Ming took two steps, and the spear was already in front of Xiao Ranran.

Before she could make a move, the long spear in front of Xiao Ranran moved like lightning, and there seemed to be several clones, making Xiao Ranran unable to tell which spear head was its correct position.

Compete and fight without distraction for a moment.

When Xiao Ranran realized that she should retreat, Chang Ming's spear had already stabbed her shoulder in the moment when she was dazed.

Feeling the pain in his shoulder, Xiao Ranran subconsciously practiced his footwork and quickly took a few steps back.

It was such a retreat that weakened the damage of the spear, so that Xiao Ranran's wound did not meet the judgment standard of the stone plate, and he escaped for the time being.

Xiao Ranran's reaction was unexpectedly sluggish, but Chang Ming did not underestimate the enemy, and continued to move forward with the gun raised, using the same set of marksmanship.

This time, Xiao Ranran was prepared in his heart, before the gun head was completely close, he took a few steps back quickly.

The two chased after each other, Xiao Ranran's footwork was even better, and gradually opened up the distance with Chang Ming.

When the distance was six feet away, Xiao Ranran stood still again, and transformed into a water snake, directing the water snake to bite Chang Ming's spear.

Unexpectedly, Chang Ming was rich in experience, when he saw Xiao Ranran stop suddenly, he quickly took a step back, waved his long spear out, and successfully avoided the attack of the water snake.

Seeing Xiao Ranran using the technique, Chang Ming was not surprised. He swung the spear he just raised and hit the water snake hard.

The body of the water snake was split into two, and the spiritual energy dissipated directly in the air.

It took only a few breaths from the time when the water snake was transformed with spiritual energy until the water snake disappeared.

It was the first time Xiao Ranran met such a strong opponent, subconsciously pursed her lips, and took a few steps back.

Chang Ming didn't speak, turned over his hands, and rushed towards Xiao Ranran with a gun.

In a hurry, Xiao Ranran only had time to conjure up three water arrows and shoot them at Chang Ming.

But Chang Ming was not afraid at all, and swiped the spear three times with "Pa Pa Pa Pa", and the water arrows deviated from their positions, and fell to the ground one after another.

Not long after the water arrow hit the ground, it turned into spiritual energy and dissipated in the air.

None of Xiao Ranran's most commonly used attack methods took effect.In order to avoid wasting spiritual energy, Xiao Ranran was thinking about the way to win while dodging Chang Ming's spear.

However, before she could think of a way, Chang Ming's spear suddenly moved forward, passed the long sword that Xiao Ranran was blocking, and stabbed Xiao Ranran again.

This time, the ball on the stone plate flashed red light, announcing that Xiao Ranran had failed the competition and stopped at the top 32.

Until the end of the competition, Xiao Ranran didn't know what happened.

She clearly calculated the distance between herself and the gun head, why did the gun head suddenly become longer and stab her?
"Host, it's not that Chang Ming's gun has become longer, but that when he was chasing you to shoot, he secretly moved the position of holding the gun while you were not paying attention, increasing the reserved length. So before you follow the previous habit When blocking his spear, he only needs to stab from the back to the front a little more, and he can stab you."

After 001's explanation, Xiao Ranran realized what mistake he had made, and said to Chang Ming in a convinced way: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Chang Ming."

Chang Ming took back the wooden sign, and politely hugged Xiao Ranran, saying: "Friend Daoist Xiao praises you."

Xiao Ranran didn't say much, and also took back her wooden sign, and left the wing room first.

For her, this competition is over.

The monk who handed the wooden card to the main house exchanged it for ten middle-grade spirit stones as a reward, and 001 also reminded in time, "Congratulations to the host for entering the top 32 of the competition, with +1500 points and +300 martial arts score".

This time down the mountain was very fruitful, Xiao Ranran left the arena contentedly, and after notifying Tang Xuan of her match result, she went back to the inn to get a package and settle the money.After leaving the inn, Xiao Ranran went to the clothing store, bookstore and grocery store again, bought a few sets of clothes, some books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and sundries, and then left the Universal City to fly to the main courtyard of the sect.

After being out for a few days, I don't know what happened to the three people in the main courtyard.

At the turn of Shenyou, Xiao Ranran took advantage of the moonlight to return to the main courtyard smoothly.

In the main courtyard, Liu Jingyi and Luo Yiming were practicing calligraphy in the wing room.Seeing Xiao Ranran come back, he immediately put down the brush in his hand and went straight to Xiao Ranran.

Compared to Luo Yiming, who just got started, Liu Jingyi was more courageous, and asked directly: "Master, your competition is over? How many names did you win?"

Xiao Ranran led the two apprentices to walk in, while explaining: "Yes, the competition is over. However, the master's ranking is not high, and he only entered the top 32. But the rewards of the competition are not bad, and there are a total of ten winners. Pin Lingshi, do you have anything to buy? Master will go down the mountain in a few days, so I can help you buy it together."

Liu Jingyi hadn't learned how to calculate, so she subconsciously asked, "How much are ten middle-grade spirit stones? Is it worth it?"

"Ten middle-grade spirit stones are equal to one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and one thousand low-grade spirit stones are equal to 2000 taels of silver. As for 2000 taels of silver..."

Before Xiao Ranran finished speaking, Liu Jingyi showed a surprised expression.

Compared with Luo Yiming, who was half-deaf and homeless for a long time, Liu Jingyi still helped the family buy a lot of things.She may not be clear about the concept of spirit stones, but she is clear about the weight of silver taels.

2000 taels of silver was already a huge sum of money in her mind.

For a moment, Liu Jingyi looked at Xiao Ranran adoringly, and said, "Master, you are really amazing."

As for Xiao Ranran's stop at the top 32, she completely ignored it.

Luo Yiming, who was half a beat behind because of his deafness, said, not to be outdone, "Master, you are really amazing."

This time, it was Xiao Ranran's turn to be embarrassed.

After waving his hand, Xiao Ranran stuffed the two dolls back into the West Wing and returned to the main room.
