Chapter 102 Opponent
Chapter 102 Opponent
Ye Xiaochuan walked onto the stage, and suddenly there was a sigh of relief around him. This Cangyun rat, who everyone had no hope for, had passed five levels and killed six generals in a row, and actually entered the fourth round. From the initial fantasy of Ye Xiaochuan being runaway, it has not happened yet.
No one could figure out how this dark horse, the biggest in this fight, could pass the levels and kill the generals.
At this moment, most of the disciples gathered on the Kun position stage in the north, and almost everyone wanted to see how far Ye Xiaochuan, the dark horse, could go!
As soon as Ye Xiaochuan left, Xiaochi screamed excitedly: "Betting is on! Betting is on! Hurry up and place your bets!"
In the last match between Ye Xiaochuan and Yuan Quan, Zhu Changshui and others were unwilling to place bets, but Xiaochi took action and snatched more than ten taels of silver from everyone.
This time, Ye Xiaochuan faced Chen Mo, whose Taoism was much higher than Yuan Quan, and one foot had already stepped into the seventh level of the out-of-body realm. This time, Zhu Changshui and others were eager to place bets.
His gang of friends seemed optimistic that Ye Xiaochuan would defeat Chen Mo and enter the top ten, but when it came to betting, their true colors were exposed.
Chen Quanyong took out several large silver ingots and shouted, "One hundred taels of silver! I bet on Junior Brother Xiaochuan to lose!"
Zhu Changshui said, "I only have eighty taels of private money left, I bet on him to lose!"
Yuan Yangzhen said, "I don't believe in evil. Even if I only have a pair of pants left, I will bet on Junior Brother Xiaochuan to lose! Three times!"
Zhao Shilin: "One hundred taels, as usual."
Chen Youdao looked at the almost crazy brothers around him, and pitifully took out two ingots of silver: "I only have forty taels left!"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said, "Continue to bet on Junior Brother Xiaochuan to lose!"
Miss Xiaochi happily collected the silver, her heart was already blooming with joy. After Ye Xiaochuan's several competitions, she seemed to have become the biggest winner.
Baili Yuan on the side was stunned. Even with her mental concentration, she opened her mouth slightly at this moment, as if she couldn't figure out why these guys' attitudes changed so much in just a blink of an eye?
Just now, these people patted their chests and said that they would cheer for Ye Xiaochuan and that they would recognize Ye Xiaochuan as the boss if Ye Xiaochuan won.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Xiaochuan stepped onto the ring, these guys immediately changed their faces and placed heavy bets on Ye Xiaochuan to lose!
Xiaochi happily counted the silver in his arms, tilted his head, glanced at Baili Yuan beside him, and said with a smile: "Sister Baili, do you want to bet some silver too?"
Baili Yuan shuddered. Xiaochi and others thought that Baili Yuan's identity would definitely disdain to participate in such illegal gambling activities.
However, Baili Yuan suddenly took out a purse from his arms, took out a silver ingot from it, and said with shining eyes: "Bet on him to lose! I don't believe this little guy can make it into the top ten!"
On the ring, Ye Xiaochuan suddenly felt a little bit of chill behind him amidst the many sighs, as if no one around him was optimistic about him. A feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart, as if even his most intimate and close brothers were cursing him to lose amid the sighs.
When he came back to his senses from this trance, a young man wearing the blue clothes of the Cangyun Sect was already standing on the ring in front of him. It was his opponent in this round, Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was not tall and was quite thin, giving people a shrewd feeling.
In this round, most of the twenty disciples were young masters in the Out-of-Body Realm, and there were only a few in the Soul Realm. The main reason was that they had a good draw. They did not encounter many decent opponents along the way. Yuan Quan, whom Ye Xiaochuan met in the previous round, and Chen Mo in front of him, if they were to talk about their true strength, it would be difficult for them to rank high among the young generation of disciples in Cang Yun, but who made them draw a good lot?
However, Chen Mo's strength may not be as good as Zhao Wuji, Yun Qiyou, Gu Jianchi and others, but his own cultivation is not bad. He is already at the peak of the Soul Realm. In terms of the attainments of Yin-Yang Qiankun Dao, Ye Xiaochuan is slightly inferior to him.
But Ye Xiaochuan is still full of confidence. After all, Sun Yao, a top ten favorite, was taken down by himself. Chen Mo's Taoism is far inferior to Sun Yao, so he still has confidence.
Facing Ye Xiaochuan's confidence, Chen Mo on the opposite side secretly complained in his heart.
This Ye Xiaochuan seemed to be unmoved. In the first round against Hu Daoxin, he showed quite good strength after close combat and defeated Hu Daoxin with a crushing momentum.
The second match was against Sun Yao, the favorite. In terms of long-range attack and activating the true sword art, it seemed that even Sun Yao was not as good as him. Although Sun Yao successfully counterattacked with the Qiankun sword in the end, the last move was not known to be cast by Ye Xiaochuan. A blue light wave swept over and Sun Yao was defeated.
Not good at close combat, not good at long-range combat, so Chen Mo was a little nervous now. After the battle ended the day before yesterday, the list of opponents was announced, so he specially asked his mentor Qin Xuesong for advice.
Qin Xuesong is the first elder of Qianfo Peak, one of the four branches of Cangyun Sect. His experience in Taoism is naturally extraordinary. He saw that Ye Xiaochuan's real cultivation was not as good as his proud disciple.
"Fourth Brother, Ye Xiaochuan is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has been practicing Taoism for less than ten years. You are far superior to him in terms of cultivation foundation. His strength lies in his agile and graceful body movements in close combat and the strange long sword in long-range combat. With your cultivation level, it is not a good idea to compete with him in true essence and spiritual power. After all, Sun Yao, who has a much higher cultivation level than you, was suppressed by Ye Xiaochuan in long-range attacks. So, you should try to fight him in close combat. You have a higher cultivation level than Ye Xiaochuan, so you may be able to find an opportunity in close combat."
In Chen Mo's mind, the words of his mentor Qin Xuesong emerged.
However, he still had no idea. After all, in the first round, Ye Xiaochuan defeated Hu Daoxin in close combat with lightning speed. His cultivation might be higher than Hu Daoxin's, but his combat effectiveness in close combat might not be much higher than Hu Daoxin's.
Sun Yao is a lesson for those who will lose in long-range combat.
Hu Daoxin is a bloody example of those who have no idea in close combat.
In such a big environment, Chen Mo really had no choice but to make a secret decision that he had to do his best no matter what! As long as he entered the top ten, it would be worth it even if he lost in the next game. After all, getting a place in the Duantian Cliff Fighting was the key!
At this time, Ye Xiaochuan clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I am Ye Xiaochuan, a disciple of the Drunk Taoist of Changmen Lunhui Peak. Please teach me, Senior Brother."
Chen Mo came to his senses and saluted in return, "Chen Mo, a disciple of Qianfo Peak. Please teach me, Junior Brother Ye."
Ye Xiaochuan entered the sect much later than Chen Mo. In such a battle between fellow disciples, it is usually the younger disciples who take the lead in sword fighting. If the senior brothers take the lead, they will be criticized for bullying the weak.
Ye Xiaochuan did not waste words. He was afraid that his Wufeng would suddenly come out of the sheath, which would once again trigger the movement of the Zhanchen in Yun Qiyou's hand. He did not dare to act cool and control the magic sword with telekinesis. He honestly stretched out his hand and pulled out the Wufeng magic sword.
