Chapter 724: Alternative Fight
No one could see the secret of the black crystal, but the city lord's actions immediately made these young masters from big families understand.
At this time, they all looked at Su Xiao with a teasing look. Although Su Xiao was meditating with his eyes closed, his spiritual energy was extremely unstable and kept swaying. However, the fluctuation of the spiritual energy outside his body was not a sign of improvement like Zuo Feng's previous one. On the contrary, his cultivation was unstable and almost fell.
"Hehe, see, don't provoke people like the city lord easily. Forcibly breaking the rules will only bring bad consequences in the end."
"Yes, I was still feeling unfair just now. How could he break the rules like this? Now I feel a little sympathetic to Su Xiao. The city lord is obviously very dissatisfied, but it's hard to say, but now he has recovered everything at once."
Everyone talked endlessly, and anyone with eyes could see that Su Xiao's situation was extremely bad at this time. In this situation, he needed a lot of time to stabilize the injuries caused by the previous confrontation with the black crystal, and at the same time stabilize his own cultivation.
If it is purely for the fairness of the competition, then it is understandable to let Su Xiao rest for a while. But the city lord Yu carried out the next match so quickly, and as the person who hosted the second match, he definitely had the right to do so.
Su Lan frowned and turned to look at the city lord Yu, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. How could he, an old man in the world, not see what many young people have seen?
The City Lord You looked relaxed. When Su Lan looked at him, he smiled and said, "This time the competition is in my Linshan Villa. You don't plan to let the competition continue until tomorrow, do you? I just want to finish the second competition as soon as possible.
But if you feel that this is unfair to Su Xiao, then I can make some adjustments. This is also your..."
Without waiting for the City Lord You to speak, Su Lan interrupted and said, "Don't bother so much. Since the City Lord You is in charge of the second competition, you naturally have your rights. I won't interfere too much."
After hearing Su Lan's words, the City Lord You was slightly surprised, but then he laughed dryly twice, turned around and announced loudly.
"Including Su Xiao who just joined, there are a total of twelve contestants here, and the order is the first and last place of the previous perception, and then the second and the second to last place."
He paused slightly, and glanced at Su Lan intentionally or unintentionally. However, Su Lan at this time had a calm face and did not show any dissatisfaction, which surprised the City Lord You.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this arrangement, and then they all held a gloating mood and focused their eyes on Su Xiao.
These people saw that Su Xiao was not in a good state at the moment, and the city lord obviously had no good intentions, just wanted to teach him a lesson in this way. As for the way and order of the competition, it was originally determined by the city lord. If he arranged the first and second place to compete, it would give Su Xiao some time to recover.
But he did not do so, precisely to prevent Su Xiao from having time to recover, which would be very disadvantageous for Su Xiao.
The person who was most excited to hear this news was Hua Qi, who ranked first. Basically, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be the first to appear, but the problem was that it was uncertain who would be his opponent. Originally, he hoped to arrange a weaker person, but he did not expect that the opponent in the first game would be Su Xiao.
Under normal circumstances, fighting Su Xiao would be the least optimistic choice for him, but now he felt that he had picked up a big bargain. Of course, many contestants also thought so in their hearts, and at the same time they were a little jealous of Hua Qi's good luck.
Only Zuo Feng observed Su Xiao with a serious look in his eyes for a moment, and then he slowly closed his eyes again. However, when he closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
After hearing the arrangement of the city lord, Hua Qi walked towards the black crystal stone impatiently, and looked at Su Xiao with expectation. On the other hand, Su Xiao's face was a little pale at this time, but he still walked towards the black crystal stone silently, without saying a word from beginning to end.
The two came to the two sides of the black crystal stone respectively, and almost raised their palms and pressed them on the crystal stone at the same time. To outsiders, they seemed to be feeling at the same time, but they could not detect the changes in it.
However, according to the previous explanation of the city lord, the two of them should have sent their spiritual power and thoughts into the crystal stone at this time, but it was impossible to see how they fought.
The previous noise and talk stopped immediately when the two people sent their thoughts into the crystal stone. For this extremely alternative fight, almost no one present had seen it, or even heard of it. At the moment, everyone was trying their best to observe, hoping to gain an advantage in the next competition.
However, these people could only see the two motionless figures. Even if someone had a good spiritual power and sent out their spiritual power, they would still not be able to observe. Just like before in the perception, Hua Qi and Su Xiao's bodies at this time were like the black crystal, blocking all the exploration.
Time passed slowly, but only a moment had passed. Hua Qi opened his eyes first, and his body staggered back uncontrollably. It seemed that he was also enduring great pain at this time, and was even more embarrassed than when he was forcibly repelled during the perception before.
When Hua Qi retreated the seventh step, he managed to stabilize himself. At this time, Su Xiao opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"You"
After saying only one word, Hua Qi saw the other party's smile and could no longer control his mouthful of blood. Now everyone knew that Hua Qi was defeated in this long competition, and it seemed that he was injured.
Only Zuo Feng and Su Lan were not surprised, but Zuo Feng's eyes did not pay too much attention to Su Xiao, but looked at Su Lan through the crowd.
Before, Su Xiao's various physical conditions seemed to have serious injuries, but Zuo Feng could feel that the injury seemed a little strange. The "acupoint pressing and acupuncture method" emerged in his mind, which further confirmed his guess that Su Lan's problem should have been basically solved by Su Lan.
This Su Lan's acupoint pressing and acupuncture method obviously has a very profound understanding, and at the same time, some special techniques were added to the spell. Although Zuo Feng did not know what the acupuncture method Su Lan used was, he could vaguely guess the effect of the spell.
Su Xiao should have recovered a lot under this treatment, but he was extremely weak. Then there was only one explanation for this situation, just like Zuo Feng, he was hiding the true situation of his injury.
Zuo Feng did not pay attention to this change, but closed his eyes and meditated again. What he had to do now was to stabilize his cultivation as soon as possible, because after the next competition, it would be his turn to play.
The accident in the first game did not reduce everyone's enthusiasm, but the previous ridicule of Su Xiao was transferred to Hua Qi, who was extremely ugly at the moment.
The second competition started soon, and the two young men quickly came to the outside of the black crystal. Under everyone's gaze, one of them was defeated and withdrew after a short time. The person who withdrew was also injured like Hua Qi, but the extent of the injury was not as great as Hua Qi's.
At this time, Zuo Feng did not wait for the city lord to call his name, and walked towards the black crystal with another young man. Zuo Feng's understanding of the black crystal far exceeds that of everyone present, even the city lord is not as good as him.
According to his first experience, Zuo Feng sent out his thoughts and spiritual power, and also sent a trace of his own thoughts into it. Although the method is the same, this time Zuo Feng felt that the moment he sent in his thoughts, the whole person seemed to have come to a special place.
This feeling may only feel mysterious to others, but it is definitely a shocking experience for Zuo Feng. Because his feeling at this time is too similar to that time when he entered the strange house. Zuo Feng may never forget this feeling for the rest of his life, because he almost experienced death there.
At this time, Zuo Feng felt that he was on a square, which was boundless and could not be seen at a glance. Farther away, there was a gray fog rolling constantly, and the sky was also gray. He could not see the sun, moon, stars, or clouds in the sky.
It was just the ground under his feet that gave him a slightly real feeling. Looking at the fog, Zuo Feng seemed to be outside the strange house again.
Just as Zuo Feng was looking around, a mist suddenly appeared not far in front of him, and then a figure condensed. As the figure continued to emerge, it could be seen that it was the person who was going to compete with him.
After this person appeared, he also looked around in surprise, and then locked his eyes on Zuo Feng, and then a smile appeared on his face.
Although Zuo Feng had used some unknown method to improve his cultivation to the third level of the tendon hardening period, he himself had a cultivation level close to the fifth level at the peak of the fourth level. With this gap of nearly two levels, he did not take Zuo Feng too seriously.
Seeing Zuo Feng at this time, he did not hesitate at all, and rushed towards Zuo Feng with a hard step. Although Zuo Feng had many guesses about this place at this time, he had to deal with the opponent in front of him first, but Zuo Feng seemed more cautious and took a fighting stance the moment the opponent rushed over.
For this unfamiliar environment, Zuo Feng did not launch an attack first, and what he had to do was to observe as much as possible.
