Chapter 303 The Battle Begins
Li Lingyan was patrolling backstage at the fighting competition.
Suddenly, a Taoxian disciple came to her and whispered a few words.
She nodded and followed the Taoxian disciple into the building next to her.
After a while, Li Lingyan came to the protruding platform on the roof.
The view here is wide, one side can overlook the entire fighting arena, and the other side can see the contestants' waiting area.
Standing on the platform was a woman in gorgeous clothes, who was the protagonist of this fighting competition, Li Qingyun.
"Miss, are you looking for me?" Li Lingyan saluted.
Li Qingyun: "Yes, it's been boring without you recently, so I want to chat with you and relax."
Li Lingyan smiled and said, "Then Miss, just call me back. I don't have to be the leader of the Wuling Guard.
Besides, being a leader is very troublesome. There are so many things to learn. Fortunately, Uncle Wang is willing to teach me."
Li Qingyun: "I would like to, but I can't. I don't have many people I can trust now. I have just started learning like you.
So, Xiaoyan, you have to take on some of the responsibilities for me. I will need you to take over the entire Wuling Guard in the future."
Li Lingyan was surprised and said, "Miss, I am just an orphan maid. How can I take over the entire Wuling Guard?"
Li Qingyun: "Who said I can't? As long as I take over my mother, you will be fine.
Of course, that will be a long time in the future, but we also have to prepare for a rainy day, so I asked you to study early."
Li Lingyan nodded, with a clear and ignorant look in his eyes: "I understand. I will listen to you, young lady."
"It would be nice if you really understood!"
Li Qingyun smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about this. Xiaoyan, who do you think is suitable to be my husband?"
Li Lingyan frowned slightly: "Well, none of them are suitable. They are all here for your beauty. Why does your lady want to fight for a husband instead of looking for a perfect husband?"
Li Qingyun said slowly: "Xiaoyan, this is my responsibility. I don't need a perfect husband, I just need a suitable husband.
Either he has power and influence to help me, or he is extremely talented and can give me a daughter with the same outstanding talents. Of course, it would be better if he has both."
Li Lingyan was puzzled: "Young lady, you didn't seem to be like this before?"
Li Qingyun sighed: "Didn't I say that you and I are learning? This is what I have learned recently."
Li Lingyan felt that the pure and kind young lady seemed to be fading away, and he couldn't help but be silent.
Seeing this, Li Qingyun smiled again and said, "Xiao Yan, I just saw you chatting with a contestant, and you were talking and laughing. Do you have a crush on someone? Do you want me to help you match them up?"
Li Lingyan immediately explained, "Miss, you are overthinking that. Young Master Ye Wenchen and I only met once. He was the one who helped capture the demon outside the city before.
And he fell in love with you, Miss, so he came to participate in the battle. I was just telling him how good you are."
Li Qingyun looked down from above and glanced at Gu Xia in the corner: "So he is the young master you mentioned. How strong is he? What is his background?"
Li Lingyan: "He is a very powerful independent cultivator. I see that he doesn't seem to seek fame and fortune. He is a good person."
Li Qingyun shook his head: "I still prefer powerful people, so that they can help me in the future.
For example, Wen Wuji of Qingyou Mountain, although his sect does not have innate masters, there are many masters at the peak of acquired skills. There is also a spiritual iron mine in the sect, and tens of thousands of black crystals flow every year.
Another example is Shen Sanqiu of Ranxiang Sect. There are also masters and wealth in the sect."
...
After Madam Zhuohua's speech and a series of performances, the fighting conference officially kicked off at noon.
On the first day, there were a total of 16 matches, and Gu Xia was among them.
"First match: Beichenxi vs. Qianduo!"
With the voice of the referee, the first pair of soul cultivators came on stage.
The battle of soul cultivators is different from the direct fist-to-flesh or sword-to-gun fights between warriors.
The style will be more indirect and varied, less cruel and more colorful.
Many warriors commented that it was like a magic trick, without fighting, and without blood. Whoever finished the trick first would lose.
There were two soul cultivators on the field. Beichenxi flew a flying sword, and Qianduo took out a talisman collection that looked like a checkbook in Gu Xia's previous life, and then began to compete.
First, Beichenxi's flying sword circled in the air, trying to attack Qianduo's body.
Qianduo directly tore off a page from the talisman collection in his hand, and as soon as his soul power was activated, a translucent golden bell covered him.
Beichenxi's flying sword changed several angles in a row but could not pierce the golden bell.
Qianduo tore off another talisman, and a fireball as big as a basin hit the opposite side.
Beichenxi quickly used the flying sword to cut the fireball, but the next second an ice spear shot over again, so he had to use the flying sword to block it again.
Qianduo on the other side was like tearing waste paper, one after another, and all kinds of Taoist magic kept hitting the opposite side.
After a cup of tea, Beichenxi's soul power was exhausted and Qianduo beat him with a talisman.
Everyone can see that Qianduo is just rich, and his strength is not as good as Beichenxi.
However, Taoxian Mansion doesn't care at all. For them, they want to choose a son-in-law who is rich and powerful.
If he can win with money, doesn't it mean that the sect behind him is probably profound?
Taoxian Mansion doesn't care about the fairness of the fight. They even want to see a mediocre person win the championship with a black crystal. How strong must the power behind him be!
The audience didn't care even more. Qian Duo's talismans were colorful and had great visual effects. Unlike Bei Chenxi, who could only use a flying sword, the viewing experience was too poor.
So, the games continued one by one.
Unknowingly, time came to dusk, and there were only three games left for today.
"Game 14: Ye Wenchen vs. Yang Youyi! Both sides go on stage!"
Yang Youyi, dressed elegantly, walked onto the stage. He was full of confidence. He prepared a lot of talismans, magic tools and various props for today.
When he saw his opponent's plain clothes for the first time, Yang Youyi was delighted and felt that he could replicate the scene of Qian Duo winning the game with money.
However, when the opponent got closer and closer, Yang Youyi's heart suddenly jumped.
A strange feeling gradually filled his heart.
"He...he...he..."
It is said that we once met and parted, and later someone was three times like you, and I panicked.
