The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 713 Qing Ling
"Are Xuzhou's 'Changshe Club' and Yuzhou's 'Wuguan Club' the two strongest teams in Jiuzhou?" Zhao Chen asked curiously after glancing at the various pre-match analyses and comparisons of advantages and disadvantages in the newspaper.

"I can only say that these two are stronger this year... In previous years, they were mostly hovering in the 'relegation zone'." Ming Xueling checked his "database" and added, "They are luckier this year, and each summoned a top-grade supernatural power as their first main force.

"That's why the popularity is so high even though it's only the first match of the finals... After all, duels between top-grade magical powers are rare."

Hearing this, Ning Meng on the side interrupted and said, "In this so-called Jiuzhou cultivators' A-level league, are top-grade magical powers rare?"

Ming Xueling responded calmly: "The top-grade magical powers are all the 'Dongxuan' seeds of each family. Unless they need to be honed in actual combat, how can they come to compete for people to watch?

"Even fourth-grade magical powers are rare. Normally, the core of a Class A team only has fifth or sixth grade."

That’s right, the gap between mid-level magical powers is not that big, so the importance of skills is highlighted and it is more entertaining.

After analyzing it from a business perspective, Zhao Chen also became interested in the final. After all, watching the battle between top-level monks with magical powers was an accumulation of experience for him.

What's more, this top-grade supernatural power from the "Wuguan Club" has a "connection" with him.

He glanced at the relevant content in the newspaper and found that the final would be held this afternoon, with an hour left before it started.

"Let's go watch the game later." Zhao Chen suggested after putting down the newspaper.

Yan Hongxia and Ming Xueling didn't care about it, but Ning Meng and Mo Qiu were very excited. However, the latter asked anxiously, "It's already this late, the tickets for the show are probably sold out, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to pay a high price, someone will sell it." Ming Xueling took out a small booklet and shook it, saying, "Anyway, no matter how much you spend, it can be recorded in the account of that Lord Zhan."

It seems that scalpers are "creatures" that cannot be avoided in any world!

After all, where there is demand there is a market… After Zhao Chen complained a few words in his heart, he left the teahouse with several female knights, got on the carriage, and rushed to the main venue of the "Wuguan Club" located in the eastern suburbs of the city.

It is called a stadium, but in fact the fighting area is an entire island in the middle of a lake that is decorated with formations and restrictions.

The auditorium is located on large ships anchored in the lake.

Since most of the spectators had not yet entered, and supporters of the two teams came to cheer even if they did not have tickets, there were crowds of people around the lake, and the carriage that Zhao Chen and others were riding in had to stop outside the lake.

Ming Xueling, still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, took the initiative to blend into the crowd and returned not long after with five tickets.

The seats corresponding to these five tickets were all pretty good, except that only Ming Xueling and Zhao Chen's tickets were next to each other, while the tickets given to Yan Hongxia and the other two were on another ship.

Yan Hongxia didn't notice it at first, and only reacted when she got on board, but it was too late.

"Why didn't I realize before that this woman was so shameless?!" Yan Hongxia thought bitterly in her heart as she watched the other person's short skirt and white stockings gradually disappearing into the distance.

In fact, she noticed Zhao Chen's special preference for this kind of stockings yesterday and secretly bought a pair, but she hesitated for a long time this morning and ultimately did not wear them.

Zhao Chen naturally also noticed Ming Xueling's little thoughts. Ever since he learned the true identity of "Star God Jiaotian" and found a new "target" from him, this fully functional humanoid puppet has become very proactive, with a strong "learning" ability and full mobility. From time to time, he would tease Zhao Chen intentionally or unintentionally.

This was in stark contrast to her previous coldness, but this contrast made Zhao Chen feel more "excited" and a strange sense of "achievement". If it weren't for the inconvenience, their relationship would have probably gone a step further.

After the two men boarded the ship, they went all the way to the top floor of the ship. From an observation position on the top floor platform with a very good view, they overlooked the entire island in the middle of the lake, and soon saw the two teams of commanders who were confronting each other at least thirty feet apart.

Speaking of which, this kind of team competition is usually a three-on-three round-robin elimination match.

In other words, the team with people still standing on the field at the end wins.

But today's final is different. After all, the middle and lower-grade magical powers are at a great disadvantage compared to the high-grade magical powers, so the battle between the two sides' main generals almost determines the outcome of the game.

Half a quarter of an hour later, with the sound of a bell, the two top-grade magical powers immediately started fighting.

The captain of the "Wuguan Club" is a strong man who is nearly ten feet tall.

In his hand he held a huge axe that was the result of his magical powers and chopped it down on his opponent's head. There were no fancy techniques, only the release of pure strength, as if he could chop the opponent in half with one blow.

"The sword cuts the evil dragon and clears the dam, the axe splits the willow and shakes the sky.

"It is indeed the 'King Yu's Mountain-Splitting Axe' passed down by the direct lineage of King Yu!" Looking at this familiar magical move, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

He had made some guesses after reading the description in the newspaper, and now it has undoubtedly been confirmed.

"I just don't know why a true disciple of Yu Wang Zong would come to Jiuzhou to play in the league..."

As Zhao Chen was watching and thinking, the opponent of the Yuwang Sect's disciples, the leader of the "Changshe Club", a petite girl wearing conservative warrior clothes and a ghost mask, did not dodge or evade, and allowed the giant axe to chop down to a position three feet around her, but was blocked by a "barrier" that looked like a dream.

Seeing this, Ming Xueling diligently "explained" on the side:

“This girl is from the Wang family of Jianye, which is the family of the current imperial concubine.

"Although the Wang family is not a noble family, it is also a leader among the prestigious families. Because it is backed by the royal family, it has many magical skills and secrets. For example, the 'Wind God Fantasy Realm' she just used can weave a dream formed by the gathering of wind, which is the most effective way to restrain the magical powers composed of pure power of the Yuwang Sect."

As soon as she said this, the disciples of the Yuwang Sect in the field began to change their moves on their own initiative, demonstrating the "Thirty-Six Tiangang Axes" one by one.

Although this "Thirty-six Axes of Tiangang" is only a martial art for refining the orifices, it runs through every stage of the practice of the disciples of the Yuwang Sect.

Even when Master Huang fought Mahoraga at the Red Gold Mountain, he also used the moves here.

Zhao Chen pondered and asked again: "By the way, there is one more thing... Why do these two main players only have code names, and not specific names like other players?"

"This means that they are only here temporarily to hone their skills in the league and will not stay for long, so there is no need to leave their names." Ming Xueling replied with a faint smile, then said, "But I do recognize this 'ghost-faced' girl from the Jianye Wang family.

"Her name is Wang Qingling. She wears a mask because her appearance has been destroyed. Even the Sima family's nectar spring cannot restore it."
