Chapter 66: The Arena Competition Begins
After hearing the examiner's warning, Du Yin reluctantly let go of Lin Lei.
Linley was rescued and quickly moved his joints.
"Damn girl, you are really a villain for practicing this kind of soft skills!"
"Haha..." Du Yin retorted with a sneer, "In non-spiritual close combat, the practicality of jutsu skills is much more practical than those tricks of yours."
After saying that, Du Yin stopped talking to Lin Lei and returned directly to his own stone pillar.
Lin Lei took a long breath, then walked straight to Wang Xianxian's stone pillar and jumped up.
Wang Xianxian looked at Lin Lei in surprise, and put his hand on his shoulder as soon as he jumped up.
Lin Lei chuckled: "Hello, my name is Lin Lei, you should know me."
"Ancestor Ertian, you gave me a task and asked me to accompany you well when you go to the Emperor's Palace."
"Second Heaven Ancestor?" Wang Xianxian was a little confused.
Lin Lei immediately reacted: "That's Grandpa Lin Jiu. He is the same generation as my grandfather's grandfather's father."
Hearing this, Wang Xianxian suddenly realized, and his eyes towards Lin Lei became friendly.
"Hello."
Lin Lei touched Wang Xianxian's shoulder: "Hai, what are you saying to me? We will be friends from now on~"
"Now is not the time to talk about things. Although the surveillance here does not record, there are people who are good at reading and speaking."
Wang Xianxian looked at Lin Lei dumbfounded.
No wonder the other party covered his mouth, he thought this was some new trend.
Linley continued: "The challenge is very fast. It will probably take half a day. I will take a rest first."
After saying that, he jumped back to his stone pillar to meditate.
Time flies by, two hours later.
The announcement in the examination room, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again.
"Examination room announcement, candidate Yan Yang has entered the throne area, and the remaining seats are 95."
"Examination room announcement. Candidate Zhang Wen has entered the throne area. The remaining seats are 94."
"Examination room announcement. Candidate Tie Zhen has entered the throne area. The remaining seats are 93."
"..."
This time, the broadcast lasted for a long time because there were many candidates, more than 40 in total.
They were covered in blood and in a sluggish state, obviously having just experienced a big battle.
Yanyang and others slowly walked forward. They looked at Yunjiu on the highest stone pillar with complicated emotions.
Then, Yan Yang and others made a warrior salute upward.
They didn't speak, but Wang Xianxian also understood what they meant.
The young man returned the salute with a gentle cup of his fists.
After the ceremony, everyone returned to where they were.
Two hours later, the 100th came in.
All the places for the ring battle have been locked.
Upon seeing this, Tuoba Xin waved one hand, and then a curtain of light fell from the sky.
The rankings of all candidates are listed above.
"Now, let me explain to you the rules of the ring battle."
"This year's arena battle has undergone major changes compared to previous ones. We will first implement a knockout format."
"There are 100 participants in the first round, 50 people will be eliminated in the first round, and 25 people will be eliminated in the second round."
"After two rounds, there will be 25 people left on the field."
"The final twenty-five people will determine the top ten by attacking and defending."
"Candidates standing on the stone pillar, as a reward for your speed, you will have an extra chance to be resurrected."
"At the same time, a first-round matchup doesn't pit you against each other."
"The following will start to draw the battle list according to the order of entry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen in the sky began to shine.
The portraits of hundreds of candidates were divided into two columns.
Wang Xianxian's opponent is a young man who looks thin.
After the lottery was completed, Tuoba Xin's spiritual energy moved slightly and his body slowly floated in the air.
Then, with a thought, the arena began to shake violently.
The already huge arena expanded outwards again.
This magical method surprised most of the candidates present.
After extending the arena, Tuoba Xin shouted loudly.
"Everyone, go to the location of the arena according to the results of the draw."
The new arena is huge, big enough to accommodate 50 battles going on at the same time.
Wang Xianxian stepped onto Area 22 where he was.
His opponent also stood opposite him.
"Hello, my name is Lu Puppet, a mid-level third-level warrior, from the Seventh Heavenly Wine." The young man saluted.
Wang Xianxian returned the greeting: "Hello, my name is Yunjiu, a second-level peak warrior and a special examination candidate."
After the two saluted, they began to prepare for the luck battle.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Tuoba Xin continued.
"The winning condition is activating the enemy safety."
"The first round of elimination begins now!"
As the words fell, battles began in various parts of the arena.
Lu Puppet, who was fighting Wang Xianxian, threw a bunch of parts forward.
Wang Xianxian tried to use speed to win directly. He directly shook away these parts and killed Lu Puppet.
Facing the sword that was about to hit him, Lu Pup didn't make any defensive moves.
When the sword blade was only half a meter away from him, Lu Pup suddenly spoke.
"Change!"
The next moment, Lu Puppet's body disappeared, and what reappeared in front of Wang Xianxian was a mechanical puppet!
"Puppet master?" Wang Xianxian was a little curious.
The puppet made of special materials directly blocked Wang Xianxian's attack.
Then, Lu Puppet controlled the puppet and punched Wang Xianxian.
Wang Xianxian raised his sword to block.
clang!
Feeling the huge force coming from the blade, Wang Xianxian couldn't help but be surprised.
This puppet is even stronger than an ordinary third-order peak warrior!
At the same time, Lu Kui in the back also rushed behind Wang Xianxian and threw a punch.
Wang Xianxian swung another sword with his left hand and slashed to the back.
Lu Kui did not evade. He moved his other hand slightly, and the puppet beside Wang Xianxian quickly decomposed and then turned into shackles to bind him.
The sudden change surprised Wang Xianxian.
He released the Xianxian Sword and used his mental power to control it to stab Lu Kui.
Facing the fierce attack of the flying sword, Lu Kui chose to dodge this time. He quickly dodged to the right and summoned the puppet that bound Wang Xianxian to protect himself.
Wang Xianxian, who regained his freedom, looked at the other party's wonderful fighting method and was delighted.
Most of his strength came from the condensed wine sword. He relied on the huge sword intent to complete various amazing operations.
In terms of fighting skills, he was still a little lacking compared to those top students in high school who had practiced hard for three years for their own vocations.
At least the fighting method of this puppet master made him shine.
He knew that Lu Kui's mental strength must be very strong, otherwise he would not be able to do such an operation.
The opponent's combat mode of combining the puppet with himself was exactly what he lacked now.
If he could also skillfully combine the sword attack in close combat, his combat power would rise again.
Thinking of this, Wang Xianxian gave up the idea of using brute force to end the battle quickly.
He summoned two flying swords and began to consciously control them to attack Lu Kui.
At the same time, he also raised his sword and stabbed forward.
