Chapter 121: The Master of the Soul, A Glance for a Thousand Years
On the table.
Although we have only been here for a few days, we are already used to having breakfast and dinner together.
Talking, laughing, and feeling content.
"Brother Jiang, Yan Jiu, who is ranked tenth in the semi-finals, is terrifying." Qian Jiu said solemnly, "His Qi seems to have undergone a mutation. The quality is of such high quality that I have never seen before. He also has extremely terrifying cutting ability. My His body-protecting energy was easily destroyed by him. His true energy seemed to be spiritual, and he could easily withstand my attacks. Even if my spear attacks were extremely powerful, it would be difficult for him to break through them all at once. Defense, this is also the fundamental reason for my defeat.”
The killing blow failed to break through the defense, so the opponent seized the opportunity to counterattack.
"I'm afraid Brother Jiang is not sure that he can withstand your shot, but he can block it..." Lan Xin said, "When I faced him, I was completely crushed. His true energy is really not terrible. , incredible.”
"Every trace of his true energy is like a saw tooth. It can easily cut through the body's protective energy, and even the muscles and bones can be easily cut." Long Aotian frowned, "The biggest feeling he gave me is that his true energy is like life. ”
"Yes, I feel that way too!" Qiang Jiu nodded.
"I noticed it!" Jiang Ming nodded.
He had been watching the game and naturally knew some details about the top ten in the semi-finals.
As for this Yan Jiu?
It was his opponent in the first battle.
It felt very strange when I first watched the battle. It seemed ordinary, but the true energy was very strange. High quality, powerful in destructive power, and seemingly spiritual.
"It's like it's made up of nanorobots!" Jiang Ming gave an appropriate metaphor.
"It's like a nano-robot, but more terrifying." Lan Xin nodded, "Mr. Tang, Instructor Yu, what's going on with him? It's incredible."
"It should be that he ate some kind of treasure from heaven and earth, or fused it with a treasure, which caused the true energy to change and give him special abilities." Instructor Yu speculated.
Mr. Tang nodded and sighed: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. When you encounter novel abilities, don't panic, let alone be afraid. Focus on stability. Once you figure it out, it will be easier to deal with it. Just like a gun. Nine, if we fight him again, we are 60% sure that we can win. Of course, if possible, we should try our best to kill him quickly, no matter how mutated he is, if he is killed, it will be nothing."
This makes so much sense.
Afterwards, Long Aotian and the four others talked about the situation of the top ten in the finals.
Each one is unique.
Ran Xin, ranked ninth, is the weirdest.
"She made me fall in love with her at just one glance." Long Aotian smiled bitterly, "It seemed like an illusion but not an illusion, and it seemed real but not real. In just one glance, I was transferred to the Dinosaur Empire and was trampled to death."
Death is miserable, death is oppressive.
"I knew she was in a situation like this. The moment I struck, it would be a sure kill. At that time, I had a very clear feeling that I had penetrated her, but she collapsed like a bubble. Then, I fell into an illusion. It was said to be an illusion, but it was extremely clear. , does not cover up the past memories, does not reproduce the shortcomings in the heart, but completely evolves into a magical world that makes you sink, make you struggle, make you helpless, and make you despair." Qiang Jiu said, the corners of his mouth twitching.
Lan Xin also smiled bitterly.
Apparently, she was going through a similar situation.
One glance will destroy you, one glance will kill you.
"That is the most bizarre and unpredictable way of the soul." Mr. Tang said, "It is the most essential competition of wills. If you can't stop it, you will be pulled into the spiritual world she created. There, she is the master. , it is almost impossible to resist or kill her. You should have discovered that anyone who can block her will be killed quickly. "
"The way of the soul, I didn't expect one to appear. This is known as one of the strongest assistants." Instructor Yu sighed, "There is also the seventh-ranked Liu Ruyan, who is good at the way of illusion, and the illusion affects reality, making it even more difficult to deal with. ”
"I think the hardest one is Yi Tianyan, who is ranked sixth. He is scarier than Ji Yuning, who is first. He gives me such a weird feeling." Qiang Jiu's face was tangled, "Every time I shoot, he As if he had expected it, he could easily dodge from the weakest point. After I exploded, he couldn't dodge, but he activated a strange ability to deflect the tip of my spear. , he is blessed with great luck and luck, and is very difficult to kill as if he has been protected by fate.”
"Yi Tianyan..." Mr. Tang frowned, "This son's future achievements will be limitless. The power he has..."
He hesitated a little, finally shook his head, looked at Jiang Ming and said: "Although his methods are weird, his cultivation is not very strong, and his attacks are average. When the time comes, you may gain some insights by understanding it."
Jiang Mingning nodded.
Yi Tianyan?
This was one that he paid special attention to.
Although Yang Jian, Ji Junning, Bai Bing, etc. are ranked very high, in terms of weirdness, Yi Tianyan is definitely ranked first.
After breakfast, everyone entered the virtual battle network.
Jiang Ming appeared in his original seat. In his column, he was among the top ten people on the ladder.
In the audience seat opposite, the top ten people from the semi-finals appeared, just opposite them.
"Everyone, don't be dragged down. It would be too embarrassing." Fang Qinghan said with a smile, "In the next nineteen days, fight with all your strength, use your opponent as a sword, and sharpen yourself. This is the best opportunity to practice. , comparable to an opportunity.”
Even Jiang Ming nodded in agreement.
There is really no better training opportunity than competing among the geniuses of the same generation without fear of life or death.
Know the strength of others and recognize your own shortcomings.
The host appeared.
After the opening remarks, the rules were explained again.
It was still a round-robin battle.
But on the first day, each person only had one battle.
There were ten battles in total.
There were ten battles every day, one at a time, and each battle could last up to two hours.
The first battle was between the first place in the ladder and the tenth place in the semifinals; in short, it was a battle between the 1st, 2nd and 10th place.
The second battle was between the second place and the 19th place.
And so on.
"Please invite Jiang Ming from Tianzhong Province to fight!"
"Please invite Yan Jiu from Shu Province to fight!"
As the host's voice fell, Jiang Ming and his partner were teleported to the battle arena.
At this time, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the two of them.
"Brother Yan!" Jiang Ming was the first to bow.
"Brother Jiang!" Yan Jiu was tall and thin, with a pale face, thin lips and a long face, and a sharp look in his handsomeness. He clasped his fists in response, "I've wanted to fight you for a long time, and today I finally got my wish. Brother Jiang, please don't hold back, and let me see the true style of the first place in the ladder."
"Brother Yan, please go all out!" Jiang Ming said, and with a swipe, a virtual screen appeared in front of him, from which he could choose a weapon.
After a little thought, he chose an eight-sided heavy sword.
It weighed 800 kilograms.
He played a sword flower casually, easily, but Yan Jiu's pupils shrank.
He also chose a sword, a long sword, with green light flowing.
"Brother Jiang, I'm going to fight!" Yan Jiu was quite gentlemanly. After reminding, he moved his feet and rushed over.
The sword was like a stream of light, piercing his throat.
Sword energy also condensed around, but strangely, the sword energy was extremely dark, and even the green sword turned black.
Jiang Ming felt the chill.
His eyes focused and he saw more clearly, much clearer than on the viewing platform.
The black sword energy seemed to be composed of dense insects, and it seemed to open its huge mouth and make a ferocious sound.
"What a weird true energy!" Jiang Ming was surprised.
In addition to these.
Yan Jiu's sword was also extremely fast, and it actually contained the artistic conception of killing, death, and destruction, which merged together to form an extremely terrifying sword intent.
The sword energy was surging and destroyed everything.
"Zhu Xian Sword!"
Jiang Ming also attacked suddenly.
It also merged the power of killing, death and destruction, and the sword energy was terrifying. The amount of true energy it mobilized was also similar to that of the other party.
Bang...
The first collision, Jiang Ming's sword energy was actually destroyed.
"Brother Jiang, do you look down on me?" Yan Jiu was angry.
You used the same artistic conception power as me, what does this mean?
Are you hitting me in the face?
He attacked even more fiercely, and his front was completely covered by thousands of sword energy, dancing with the rotation of the sword energy, covering Jiang Ming.
Densely packed, like a downpour.
"Brother Yan, this is a competition, but also a training, isn't it?" Jiang Ming responded, "There is time anyway!"
When the words came out, his body turned, and the long sword turned into a sword curtain, which also triggered a series of sword qi to collide with the opponent.
Rumble...
The sky shook, and the sword qi strangled, forming an extremely gorgeous scene.
A series of tiny sword qi expanded in the air, exploding into groups of light, which was extremely magical, and the control was even more amazing.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jiang Ming was suppressed.
If you look deeper, you will find Jiang Ming's horror: he actually used a sword force that was almost the same as the opponent's.
This is incredible.
Yan Jiu's sword technique unfolded, his body was like lightning, and he attacked Jiang Ming frantically. One sword after another, like a violent storm, tore the sky and destroyed everything in front of him.
In the destruction, there is a melody of death.
Jiang Ming focused on defense.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a sword qi fell into his hand. This sword energy seemed to have a spirit, struggling in his hand, tearing his protective qi at the same time.
"This true qi..." Jiang Ming's eyes condensed, and his scalp suddenly numbed.
The same amount of true qi could not stop this sword energy at all.
Even three or four times the amount could not stop the cutting of the sword energy.
The most incredible thing is that the true qi that makes up the sword energy is a bunch of tiny black dots, each of which is like a bug.
Like life but not life.
How weird it is.
"How did you do it?" Jiang Ming asked in surprise.
"You have your opportunity, and I have my luck." Yan Jiu responded, and then sighed, "Brother Jiang, I know you are very strong, but after fighting with you, I know that you are so strong that it makes people despair. But, I will not admit defeat."
As he spoke, he suddenly jumped up, the man was in the air, holding the sword with both hands, and slashed down with a thick sword energy of more than 50 meters, splitting the sky and falling down.
There were also many sword energies.
The whole battle ring was covered.
Jiang Ming's eyes focused, and the long sword turned, forming a long river of sword energy around him, blocking and shattering the opponent's sword energy. The scattered black sword energy did not dissipate, but gathered here at a rapid speed.
"Annihilation Storm!"
Yan Jiu's body shook as he fell, and a long river of true energy rushed out of his body, breaking up and covering the front. In an instant, the battle ring was covered in black, which made people's scalps numb.
The amount of true energy was so large and strange that all the spectators were moved.
Jiang Ming in the center frowned.
The surrounding black storm swept over and easily tore his body-protecting qi into pieces.
"Heavenly Sword!"
Jiang Ming knew that he had to show some skills.
A sword intent like the supreme swordsman burst out, making the sword energy around him suddenly condense a little and become more powerful.
The black storm that swept in was slightly affected.
"Ten thousand swords return to the clan!"
The sword force rose, and the storm appeared.
The long river of sword energy outside his body turned into a storm and swept outward, colliding with the black torrent, emitting a terrifying power fluctuation.
Rumble...
It exploded like thunder, like a volcanic eruption.
Collision, strangulation, annihilation...
You are strong and I am weak, I am weak and you are strong.
This is a life-and-death struggle.
The black storm was finally suppressed, and his long river of sword energy suddenly spread.
"This is my ultimate move, which I didn't use in the semi-finals, but you blocked it so easily." Yan Jiu's face changed, "It's worthy of being Jiang Ming, a fierce man who overwhelmed many geniuses. Brother Jiang, I have another move, see if you can take it?"
"Sword of Annihilation!"
Te spit out four words, and the man and the sword became one, turning into a stream of light and breaking through the sword energy storm in a flash, and approached.
Jiang Ming's pupils shrank.
He saw clearly that this was a forbidden technique. Once it was used, if he didn't kill the enemy, he would be killed. Yan Jiu's move was even more terrifying, and he integrated his mind and will into it.
Even if he killed the enemy, he would die.
It was a move that would end in mutual destruction.
Jiang Ming shook his long sword, and the tip of the sword blocked the front, but the opponent easily destroyed the sword energy.
The sword tips collided.
Crack...
Jiang Ming's long sword was subjected to the limit and broke into pieces.
This was the first time that a weapon broke throughout the whole scene.
This showed that the long sword had reached the limit of its resistance.
In addition, Jiang Ming did not exert his full strength because he lacked the corresponding true energy blessing.
"Very strong, really strong!" Jiang Ming exclaimed, and pointed his finger like a sword, and the sword light on his fingertips sprayed out, and he pointed at the opponent's sword tip that was close to him.
"A black hole breaks all laws!"
This was exactly the interpretation of the way of space, and it barely blocked this attack.
The tip of the sword stopped.
The sword energy flickered.
"I didn't even force you to use your full strength!" Jian Jiu sighed, and then disappeared, leaving only the long sword falling.
"You are already very strong. You broke my sword and hurt me!" Jiang Ming raised his hand, and a little blood appeared on his index finger.
He was injured by the opponent's sword energy.
But the wound has healed.
"First battle, Jiang Ming wins, one point!" The host appeared and shouted.
Jiang Ming also returned to his seat.
Feeling something in his heart, he looked at the opposite side. Yan Jiu was looking at him dimly, his lips moving: "I am very strong? Let you get hurt? You call it getting hurt when a drop of blood flows from your fingertips?"
The corner of his mouth curled up, and he seemed to be very aggrieved in anger.
Jiang Ming rubbed his nose.
"You are so arrogant!" Shi Lei was happy. "After all, he is a genius ranked 20th. Not only did he not force you to use your full strength, but he only made you bleed a drop of blood under the forbidden move of mutual destruction. Brother Jiang, you are awesome. I dare not confront that sword head-on."
"When you fight, you will know how awesome he is!" Ye Bai said.
Shi Lei glanced at him, a little puzzled.
At this time, he was also teleported to the battle arena.
The second battle, Supreme Bone Shi Lei vs. Ran Xin.
This battle was very fast.
Ran Xin just glanced at him, Shi Lei's face changed drastically, his body shook, he exhaled a breath of turbid air, looked at the other party with fear, and then killed him in one move.
The top ten students fought one after another.
Although there were twists and turns, they basically defeated their opponents.
Only Luo Qingchen, a fairy body, was defeated by Ji Yunning. It's not that he is not strong, but that the other party is stronger and good at fighting.
It is obvious that Luo Qingchen has too little experience.
What a pity.
Before noon, today's fight was over.
After Jiang Ming returned to reality, he digested what he had learned from watching the fight and then pondered over his punches.
No words were spoken all night.
The next day, the virtual battlefield.
"Ran Xin's ability is very strange, Brother Jiang, be careful!" Shi Lei reminded, "If you can kill with one strike, kill with one strike."
"Based on my understanding of Brother Jiang, I'm afraid he will take the initiative to try Ran Xin's ability." Wang Qiutong said, "Brother Jiang, is that right? He has a strong understanding and a high spirit. When he sees a strange ability, how can he not experience it himself!"
Jiang Ming glanced at her dimly.
