Chapter 1,240  Thirty-Six People

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Dragon God Armor disappeared!

Others may not have any idea, they just thought that the four-clawed white dragon did something to the thunder and took the Dragon God Armor.

Even Yunhai Sword Master thought so.

Only Xiao Mian had a thought in his heart.

In a hurry, he felt the Feitian Order hanging on his chest tremble suddenly.

Coincidence?

It's not such a coincidence!

Xiao Mian muttered to himself, and Yunhai Sword Master, who had self-destructed the white lotus, turned his attention to Xiao Mian.

In the previous battle with the four-clawed white dragon, Yunhai Sword Master did not lose, but he did not win, and he did not take any advantage!

The white lotus self-destructed, and the Dragon God Armor was not obtained.

A lot of true energy was consumed in vain, and even the Yunyin Divine Sword was slightly damaged.

The biggest loss was the Yin-Yang Wuji Umbrella whose umbrella surface was scratched by the four-clawed white dragon!

At this time, Yunhai Sword Master was depressed, and it was conceivable.

Seeing Xiao Mian and others easily break the Yunlong attack he launched, Yunhai Jianzun felt even more ashamed.

"You, are Xiao Mian from the Nanyue Five Elements Sect?"

"I dare not deceive my senior, I am Xiao Mian!"

Xiao Mian was very respectful, lowering his head and looking obedient - he must not let this angry old guy catch any handle on him!

However, no matter how humble Xiao Mian was, he could not resist Yunhai Jianzun's intention to find fault!

"Not bad! Not bad! It's rare for Nanyue Province to have a figure like you. I heard that the old ghost Wan Zongsheng has high hopes for you. You can't lose him!" Yunhai Jianzun nodded in approval, and then changed the subject: "It's rare to meet today, I will take action to see your quality, how about it? Don't worry! I won't bully the weak!"

Won't bully the weak? As a strong man in the Tianzun realm, what else could it be if he said this?

At this time, Xiao Mian already knew: Yunhai Jianzun was not going to let him go!

No matter how Xiao Mian answered, Yunhai Sword Master would have a reason to attack.

The result of the attack would definitely be something Xiao Mian could not bear!

Yunhai Sword Master would never kill Xiao Mian, but he would never do nothing either - as long as Xiao Mian was injured, it would be enough to bring him great trouble. At that time, whether he could pass the preliminary round of Tiandu Martial Arts Conference was uncertain. Even if he successfully advanced, the backup plan left by Yunhai Sword Master would definitely affect Xiao Mian's performance.

Yunhai Sword Master, this is going to cut off Xiao Mian's path to promotion!

But at this moment, a white light flashed, and someone stood in front of Xiao Mian.

"What? You're going to vent your anger on others after returning empty-handed? Fine! You test his quality, and I'll test the quality of your Tiandu City cultivators; you test him alone, and I'll test all the cultivators in your Tiandu City!" The woman in white said this seriously, and after turning into a human again, she glanced at Wan Xingyun intentionally or unintentionally, and said to Yunhai Jianzun, whose face changed slightly: "Since you are the head of Yunhai Jianting, it will be easy!"

The implication is that the woman in white doesn't mind asking Wan Xingyun to test his quality.

Because of Wan Zongsheng and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, Yunhai Jianzun didn't dare to kill Xiao Mian, but it's hard to say whether the woman in white dared to kill Wan Xingyun...

The face of Yunhai Jianzun changed again and again, and he didn't know whether to say yes or no.

But at this moment, Xiao Mian boldly spoke.

"It is my great honor that the senior wants to test my quality. But I am afraid that the senior will bear the bad reputation of bullying the weak, and I am also afraid that it will affect the relationship between Yunhai Sword Court and my Nanyue Province. How about this! At the Tiandu Martial Arts Conference, I will compete with fellow Daoist Yun Lingtian. At that time, if I lose, I will be convinced!"

What Xiao Mian meant by this was that even if Yunhai Sword Master defeated Xiao Mian, he would not accept it!

What is there to accept?

You are a Tianzun Realm strongman who has practiced hard for hundreds of years, bullying me, a Jindan minor cultivator who has practiced for decades.

You are embarrassed to bully, but I am embarrassed to be bullied!

Unless Yun Lingtian defeated him, Xiao Mian, he would be convinced!

Yunhai Sword Master was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he finally found a way out.

Otherwise, in order to deal with Xiao Mian, would he let the woman in white drive Wan Xingyun out of Yunzhong City?

Wan Xingyun alone would be fine, but the woman in white's cruel words were more than that.

Forget it! Forget it!

Since it has been decided to let this kid be the whetstone, let him jump around for a few more days!

I don’t believe: Can he still beat Ling Tian?

With this thought in mind, Yunhai Jianzun wanted to retreat.

No matter where the Dragon God Armed Forces disappeared to, as long as they were driven out of Yunzhong City, Yunhai Jianzun’s mission this time would be completed.

As for the four-clawed white dragon, there is a backup plan.

Staring deeply at the woman in white, Yunhai Jianzun quietly retreated.

The cloud energy dissipated, and Yunhai Jianzun had disappeared.

"Thank you..." Xiao Mian was about to thank the woman in white for her kindness, but the woman in white interrupted: "Are you a cultivator of the Five Elements Sect?"

"..., yes!"

"Do you have the sect seal?"

"..., yes!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Mian took out the Five Spirit Sword.

The woman in white did not avoid suspicion, and with a wave of her hand, she summoned the Five Spirit Sword.

Soon, the woman in white returned the Five Spirit Sword to Xiao Mian, but said nothing.

Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to do...

Should the preliminary round of the Tiandu Martial Arts Competition continue?

With such a powerful boss on the scene, how can we continue?

"What are you looking at me for? Are there any flowers on my face?" He glanced around the crowd coldly. The woman in white had disappeared. But before disappearing, she said: "Thirty-six places, I want one." , the rest is up to you!"

Do you want one?

What do you want to do? ?

Although everyone is secretly criticizing, but since the boss has spoken, who dares to say no?

To take a step back, if it were a competition between real swords and real guns, even if all the monks on the scene gathered the strength, I am afraid they would not be their opponents.

Nowadays, they only have one quota, which is considered very generous, okay?

But as a result, the competition among everyone will naturally become more fierce.

The departure of the woman in white was like a signal.

As soon as she stepped forward, Yunzhong Temple was caught in a chaotic fight with its back legs.

By this time, everyone no longer had any illusions about it.

To get those last thirty-six - no! As one of the thirty-five places, he had to kick out everyone who stood in front of him!

Almost unanimously, the people on Xiao Mian's side and the people under Tiandu City began to jointly expel the other monks in Yunzhong Temple.

The most powerful monks were divided between these two families, and the others were just spectators.

In the end, no one was left to watch.

The men and horses on both sides faced each other.

To be honest, there are about thirty people on Xiao Mian's side, and almost the same number under Tiandu City - adding the two together, there are sixty or seventy people.

In other words, nearly half of these people must be eliminated!

"I'm talking about fellow Taoists under Tiandu City, who has the final say on your side?"

"What? On your side, are you the one who has the final say? Xiao Mian of Nanyue!"

"Actually, it's not a question of who has the final say! Mr. Xiao is just expressing everyone's thoughts, it depends on what your plans are!"

"What are your plans?"

"In Xiao's humble opinion: The matter is only the last step away! If we continue to fight in chaos like before, it seems unnecessary. After all the chaos, even if the final thirty-five places are decided, in the life-and-death showdown , it is inevitable that he will suffer some damage." After revealing the truth, Xiao Mian said earnestly: "It would be better to fight one on one!"

"How do you choose someone for a duel?"

"It's very simple! Rank the numbers! We will list a sequence number here, and you will also list a sequence number over there. The same number will compete. The winner will stay and the loser will go!"

"There are thirty-three people on your side and thirty-one on our side. What should we do?"

"The two extra people on our side will compete on their own to determine the winner!"

"There are thirty-five places. After this comparison, only thirty-two places will be determined. There are still three places. How to allocate them?"

"Among the monks who failed in the first round, there will be another competition and the top three will be chosen!"

"It seems that you have already calculated everything!"

"It depends on whether you agree or not!"

"Okay! It's rare that Nanyue Xiao Mian is so attentive. The competition process you proposed this time is relatively fair, so we've settled on it!"

"Okay! Let's line up your numbers first!"

Now that the details have been agreed upon, the next thing is actually simple.

Both sides arrange their numbers according to God's will.

Numbers 1 to 33 on Xiao Mian's side, and numbers 1 to 31 on Tiandu City's side.

The first thirty-one people compete with each other with the same number. The winner stays and the loser goes.

After a fight, both sides had their own winners and losers.

According to the regulations, Xiao Mian's No. 32 and No. 33 will have an internal fight to determine the ownership of the 32nd spot.

Number thirty-two is Zou Yu, and number thirty-three is Jing Chu.

Although there is no regularity in the ranking, it is undeniable that among the remaining 60 or 70 people, the overall strength of these two people is not strong.

Although Jing Chu has reached the top level of the Golden Pill, he has not yet gathered his spiritual consciousness.

Although Zou Yu has gathered his spiritual consciousness, his overall strength is not outstanding.

Although the two have advanced and retreated together, they are both free and easy people.

Without any urging from others, Jing Chu and Zou Yu were already fighting together...

Jing Chu's invisible sword energy was hard to detect. After obtaining the Qiankun Sword Boots and the Qiankun Sword Wrist successively, he became almost invincible.

Zou Yu tried again and again, but failed to hit Jing Chu, and was unable to completely avoid Jing Chu's invisible sword energy. Zou Yu, a Five Elements Master who was born in Jixia Academy, surrendered on his own initiative.

As a result, Jing Chu became the only one among the many finalists who failed to gather his spiritual consciousness.

In the last round, all losers engage in a melee to determine the top three.

At this point, in a relatively fair and friendly atmosphere, the Tiandu Martial Arts Preliminary Competition was concluded successfully, and the list of thirty-six people participating in the semi-finals was decided.

The first place was the woman in white who said "when I was born, the sky was not even born".

The remaining thirty-five people are ranked in no particular order.

Seven people from Soochow: Ye Piaoling, the son of Dao Zun, Han Qianxue, the disciple of Dao Zun, Shen Chuzhi of Baimei Mountain, Shen Qiushui of Baimei Mountain, Dong Qingyan of Baimei Mountain, Le Lingrou of Lingxiu Palace and Lin Donglai who calls himself the East Ji Ranger;

Five people from Xishu Prefecture: blind monk Zenyin, war monk Huijing, little nun Miaoshan, Netherworld Ghost Land Bihunji, Xiji Sword Cultivator Fu Xigui;

Five people from Northern Wei Prefecture: three people from the Tianmo Palace, namely Mo Yin, Mo Mian, and Mo Yue; two people from the Holy Harem Palace, Wei Beiyuan and Miaozhen;

Four people from Nanyue Prefecture: Xiao Mian, Yin Jiansheng, Jing Chu, and Gui Hai who volunteered to participate as a monk from Nanyue Prefecture;

Two people from the three realms of Zhongzhou, namely Li Jingnian from the Vacuum Dao of Huaxia Realm and Yan Mo from the Yanji Sect of Jizhou Realm; seven people from Qi County, namely Yu Wushuang from Qin County, Jin Weili from Chu County, Kong Yulin from Qi County, Wuling from Zhao County, Ji Yanran from Yan County, Li Ke from Wei County, and Liu Qi from Han County;

Five people from the nine holy places were also shortlisted, namely Leng Wuyan from the Ice and Fire Demon Palace, Lin Guizhen from the Sword Spirit Valley, Wan Xingyun from the Cloud Sea Sword Court, and Xu Liyu from the Mountain and River Palace.

Another person is Jian Yin from the Nine Palaces Formation Sect.

This kid has been missing since he was scared away by the Dragon God Armed Forces.

In fact, he was hiding in a formation mechanism, and only when everyone was in the final, he jumped out and won a place.

Surprisingly, the nine holy places also had their moments of failure.

Guangyin Valley sent Qu Linglong and Wu Feixian to participate in the preliminary round. The two died together in a melee with Miaoxiang and Miaoyin from the Holy Queen Palace of Beiweizhou.

Xingxiu Tiangong also had a cultivator named Xingxiao participating in the preliminary round. He barely made any moves, and his strength was unknown. In the end, he unexpectedly lost.

Therefore, no cultivators from Sanqing Temple, Guangyin Valley, Shengsi Valley, and Xingxiu Tiangong among the nine holy places passed the preliminary round and entered the semi-finals.

Of course, for the nine holy places, each holy place has a descendant of the holy place as a seed player, and they must have a place in the semi-finals of Tiandu Martial Arts Conference!

Let's talk about this final list again. The cultivators selected are not actually the strongest - the ranking battle itself has a certain amount of luck!

For example, those who ranked at the bottom of the seven counties, with their strength, if they encounter strong ones - such as Jiang Ruowang and Hua Mancheng, they will definitely lose!

They happened to encounter opponents weaker than them, so they won.

Unfortunately: Jiang Ruowang and Hua Mancheng encountered opponents stronger than them, so they lost...

Even Yu Wushuang lost to Jin Weili.

Finally, I won the first place in the loser group, and only then did I get the last spot.

No matter what, the matter has finally come to an end.

The list of thirty-six people has been determined.

The preliminary round is over, and the semi-finals will begin...
