Chapter 235: The Leader of South Vietnam

After one round of the top 100 battle, there were 50 people left; after another round, there were only 25 people left. In the third round, because one person had a bye, the 25 people took turns to draw lots.

After the final result came out, Xiao Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because he was the one who had a bye.

Xiao Mian was naturally happy to be able to advance without playing.

But when he turned around, he saw that almost all of the top 25 were familiar faces.

Although there were still some new faces of casual cultivators mixed in, compared with the large forces of the sect or Wanzongyuan, they were just the last spectators.

After that, the last 12 elimination matches were held. As Xiao Mian, who had a bye, he could be regarded as the most idle person on the scene. Of course, he would not miss this opportunity to observe the enemy. After all, at this point in the competition, everyone in the top 25 could be Xiao Mian's last strong opponent. Besides, as the competition progressed, the strength of the remaining cultivators increased rapidly. If he wanted to win, it would not be safe to hide his strength.

At this time, it was precisely when many people exposed their cards.

What Xiao Mian cares about is the hidden cards of these cultivators!

After the brutal elimination round, only Huangfu Ling, not counting Xiao Mian from the Five Elements Sect, advanced;

Xiang Wuqing from Luohua Valley successfully advanced, but the four beautiful maids from Luohua Valley were wiped out;

The Demon Shadow Sect was slightly better, with only Duan Shuiliu and the sturdy young man being eliminated unexpectedly, while Wan Dongyao, Hu Ying and Lu Chengzhi all advanced successfully;

As for Wan Zongyuan, there were two from the Confucian School, namely Bai Zhenzhen and a disciple of the scholar; there was only one from the Taoist School and one from the Buddhist School, because from the beginning to the end, these two schools only sent one disciple from each school to participate in the sword fighting meeting;

Only two people from the other nine schools made it to the final round-robin tournament;

What surprised Xiao Mian was that Chi Lianxia from Lingchuanfang City also made it to the top 25, and easily broke through the siege and successfully advanced.

As for the other casual cultivators, they were all wiped out!

These twelve people, plus Xiao Mian, who was given a bye, were the thirteen cultivators who were finally competing for the top ten!

At this point, Dan Qiusheng and his seven Nascent Soul ancestors decided to start a round-robin tournament to determine the final top ten and the top ten in the form of points.

In the round-robin tournament, each of the thirteen has the opportunity to compete with the other twelve. In each match, the winner gets three points, the loser gets no points, and the two sides get one point each in a tie. After the round-robin tournament is completed, the final ranking is determined by the points of each contestant. If the points are equal, the number of wins and losses in the game will be the final consideration.

Because it was already evening, and everyone except Xiao Mian had gone through a fierce or relaxed fight, Dan Qiusheng and others decided to compete again the next day.

Therefore, Xiao Mian only played two insignificant promotion matches that day, and then went through the motions and entered the finals.

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, thirteen people including Xiao Mian gathered at Hou Tuping.

Under the platform, tens of thousands of cultivators stood in a dense crowd, pointing at the thirteen people on the platform. These thirteen people were the best of the younger generation in Nanyue Province.

"Who do you think will win the championship of this sword fighting competition?"

"In my opinion, it should be Xiang Wuqing from Luohua Valley? Look at his demeanor, deep as the abyss, and he is not surprised by praise or criticism. He is worthy of being the young master of Luohua Valley!"

"Luohua Valley? Tsk! Do you think you are participating in an auction? This is a sword fighting competition! Can Luohua Valley still hit people with spirit stones?"

"Yes! Compared with financial resources, Luohua Valley may be the top of the three sects, but when it comes to the strength of cultivators, Luohua Valley is a little weaker. In my opinion, Huangfu Ling from the Five Elements Sect has some chances. After all, she has the advantage of location and people, and her strength is Very strong too!"

"Although Huangfu Ling of the Five Elements Sect is not bad, don't forget that this is not just a sword fight between the three major sects, but also a fight between Nanyue State. The three sects and nine streams of the Wanzongyuan account for most of the thirteen people. It's not that a fierce dragon can't cross the river. In my personal opinion, I'm afraid that the descendants of one of the three major sects of the Wanzongyuan will have the last laugh!"

"Brother, you are wrong! Don't you see that the Demon Shadow Sect has three people shortlisted at once, which can be said to be very strong! What's more, I heard that among the three shortlisted people of the Demon Shadow Sect, the one named Lu Chengzhi is a fake Dan cultivator, fake Dan monk! "

"Fake Dan monk? Oh my God! A fake Dan monk came to participate in the sword fighting meeting, isn't this obviously bullying? "

"Who said it wasn't? It seems that even the talented people of Wanzongyuan will not get any good under Lu Chengzhi..."

"Don't forget Chi Lianxia from Lingchuanfang City. That woman even the real Jindan masters obey her orders!"

"Humph! That woman is just relying on the deterrence of Zhongzhou forces! But speaking of it, her cultivation is actually at the peak of the foundation-building stage!"

"Everyone, why didn't you mention that Xiao Mian from the Five Elements Sect?"

"Xiao Mian? Who is he?"

"That lucky guy who got a bye in the last round!"

"Him? He is at the high level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If it weren't for his good luck in the last round, it's not certain whether he could enter the finals! Don't you see that among the thirteen people who entered the finals, except for Xiao Mian, the other twelve are at the top level of the Foundation Establishment Stage or the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there is even a fake pill cultivator!"

"That's right!"

Regardless of the discussions in the audience, the thirteen people on the stage took a short break and started the finals.

For the sake of fairness, the first game was Xiao Mian's home court, and his opponent was Xiang Wuqing from Luohua Valley.

After getting on the stage, Xiao Mian and Xiang Wuqing smiled helplessly at each other.

"Brother Xiao, I didn't expect that the first match would be between you and me. The world is so unpredictable. How can one feel?"

Opening a folding fan, Xiang Wuqing was quite depressed.

Others may not know Xiao Mian's strength, but he had heard of it. Xiao Mian, who could make Lu Chengzhi return with defeat several times, even if his realm was not the top, how bad could his combat power and scheming be?

Xiao Mian was also quite helpless. He didn't expect that his first opponent would be Xiang Wuqing.

"Nine out of ten things in life are not satisfactory, so I can only fight with all my strength and leave no regrets!"

"What a good saying 'fight with all my strength and leave no regrets'! Good! Today I, Xiang Wuqing, will come to ask Brother Xiao for his high-level skills. No matter whether we win or lose this battle, you and I will always be brothers!"

"Please!"

Xiao Mian naturally cannot choose his opponent, but in fact, according to the rules of the round-robin tournament, there will definitely be a battle between him and Xiang Wuqing, not to mention that the two of them only had a friendship in the past. If they really want to fight, why would they care about those casual encounters?

Both of them are courageous people. With a slight nod, they started the first fight.

But after seeing the flying sword that Xiang Wuqing took out, Xiao Mian felt bitter, because the flying sword that Xiang Wuqing took out was the Earth Dragon Sword that he had handled before!

In this way, the Earth Dragon Rock Armor is naturally also on Xiang Wuqing. Although he doesn't know why Xiang Wuqing, who is obviously of wood attribute, can use the Earth Dragon Sword and Earth Dragon Rock Armor of earth attribute, but thinking that these two things flowed from his hands to Xiang Wuqing's hands, Xiao Mian felt extremely aggrieved. Of course, after seeing Lu Chengzhi's face, Xiao Mian felt that his mood suddenly improved and he was extremely comfortable for a while.

What about the Earth Dragon Sword?

What about the Earth Dragon Rock Armor?

Since I gave them away that day, it was because I didn't like them.

Since we are against the enemy today, I will break these two top-level magic weapons in front of Lu Chengzhi!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was full of fighting spirit and heroic spirit for a while.

Because the opponent was Xiang Wuqing, Xiao Mian did not dare to be careless. While taking out the Xuanfeng Sword, he also summoned the short-lived Golden Tooth Sword. Xiang Wuqing did not dare to be careless either. After summoning the Earth Dragon Sword, he turned to activate the Earth Dragon Rock Armor.

The next moment, the Black Edge Sword and the Earth Dragon Sword fought together.

Seeing that the Earth Dragon Sword in Xiang Wuqing's hand was like a dragon, opening and closing, but it was only fighting on equal terms with the Black Edge Sword, Xiao Mian was relieved, and did not use the Golden Tooth Sword to attack the Earth Dragon Sword, Xiao Mian flew towards Xiang Wuqing.

But as soon as Xiao Mian moved, Xiang Wuqing followed and flew back, as if he would not let Xiao Mian get close easily.

Xiao Mian was stunned, and then stopped, looking at Xiang Wuqing thoughtfully; Xiang Wuqing also looked at Xiao Mian meaningfully, obviously not knowing where the news came from, he had already known that Xiao Mian had achieved success in body training, so he took precautions.

But Xiang Wuqing obviously did not intend to make this matter public, whether it was to keep it secret for Xiao Mian or to give a surprise to the cultivators who were fighting with Xiao Mian later, Xiang Wuqing's refusal to reveal it was exactly what Xiao Mian wanted.

It seems that it is impossible to take down Xiang Wuqing quickly.
