Chapter 210: Second in Group, First Match of Finals [Subscription Request]

Yunzhou, Yunyue Mountains.

After the Zhou family defeated the Jindan family Zheng family in the foundation-building field, in the subsequent Qi refining field competition, the Zhou family also defeated the Zheng family with a slight advantage.

After this battle, the Zhou family suddenly became the most powerful family in Group C, and almost no one doubted whether they could make it into the top six.

And this is indeed the case.

After a series of fierce battles, the Zhou family's foundation-building field and Qi-refining field were only defeated once.

There was nothing we could do about the failure that time, as we ran into another Jindan family.

In order to avoid being outdone by the Zhou family, the other side directly sent out four late-stage foundation-building cultivators and one middle-stage foundation-building cultivator.

Facing such a lineup, unless Zhou Chun used the secret technique of "Ancestors' Revival", he would have no chance of winning.

Zhou Chun would naturally not waste his only chance in this group match.

As for the failure in the Qi Refining Stage, it was also because the cultivators of the other family released four first-grade superior spiritual pets, and there were two Qi Refining Stage twelfth-level cultivators who possessed strength that was not weaker than those difficult cultivators that Zhou Chun encountered when he participated in the "Heavenly Spirit Trial".

After encountering such a powerful opponent, failure is inevitable.

Finally, when the Group B competition ended, the Zhou family advanced to the finals with the second place in total points.

"it is finally over!"

"There should be more than half a month left before the finals. Everyone should take a good rest and prepare hard for the finals!"

When everything was settled, Zhou Mingde, who had fought dozens of battles with everyone else, breathed a sigh of relief. With a rather haggard look, he looked at everyone in the Zhou family and told them to rest.

To be honest, he was the one who suffered the most in this group stage.

While the Zhou family's foundation-building field and Qi-refining field were in high spirits and winning battles one after another, his side had a mixed bag of wins and losses and was not very impressive.

If he encounters a cultivator in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, he can basically only maintain a draw with the opponent.

But because his own cultivation is lower than that of the other party, if the fight continues, he will most likely lose.

So whenever this kind of stalemate occurs, the referee will directly rule that he loses.

As for the early Purple Mansion cultivators he met, they were unwilling to admit defeat easily. Every time they would fight fiercely with him to prove their own strength, they would reluctantly admit defeat and retreat.

It was so frustrating to lose and so difficult to win. It would be strange if Zhou Mingde was in a good mental state now.

Seeing that the supreme elder looked so haggard, the other members of the Zhou family, even though they were excited about winning the second place in the group stage, did not say anything more and went to rest as he said.

After sleeping for more than ten hours, the Zhou family members felt a little better and had time to continue watching the battle between Group D and Group Shu.

At the same time, Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun and others also had time to discuss and study the 17 families that had emerged in the three groups of A, B and C, and to research tactics to deal with them.

In multi-person collaborative operations like this, tactics are also an important factor in determining victory or defeat.

When the power gap between the two sides is not so big that it is irresistible, tactics may help the weaker side turn defeat into victory.

Especially in the battle of the five-person team in the foundation-building field, as long as three of the opponents are eliminated, it is equivalent to eliminating the entire opponent team.

This makes it difficult for some monks with outstanding personal combat capabilities to lead the team to victory on their own.

In this regard, the Zhou family also has relevant weaknesses.

Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng were both in the initial stage of foundation building, and they were both practicing fast-improving magic power techniques, so their personal strengths were not particularly outstanding.

Once they encounter a strong team, if the opponent uses the two of them as a breakthrough point, there is a good chance that they will be killed in one wave.

Once the two of them are sent away, the remaining Zhou Chun and the other two will be under tremendous pressure.

Because as long as the other side can get rid of one more of them, they can win directly.

In response to this, after discussion, the Zhou family decided to let Zhou Chun's golden-armored rock turtle and Zhou Daoquan's earth-armored bear protect the two of them according to the situation, so as to prevent them from being eliminated by their opponents too early.

Time passed slowly. After the group stage of the "Hundred Races Conference" continued for thirty-nine days, the top thirty teams in the five groups were finally determined.

Since then, more than 170 families that registered were directly eliminated.

The remaining thirty families are all well-known immortal cultivation families in the various states of Jingguo.

Before this, the classification of the strength of local immortal cultivation clans made by immortal cultivators from all over the place might have been biased and inaccurate.

However, after this "Conference of a Hundred Races", it has become clear which local immortal cultivation clan is stronger.

This is also the reason why all the major immortal cultivation clans have to work hard to win a good ranking in the "Hundred Clans Conference".

No one wants their family to be considered weaker than other families in the local area. At least they will admit this only after they have competed with each other.

The convening of this "Conference of a Hundred Races" provides them with such a stage and opportunity.

For example, the Zhou family.

Among all the great immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou this time, only the Zhou family and another family with the surname Xu made it into the top six in their respective group stages.

This means that in the future, when the immortal cultivators in Lanzhou talk about the local immortal cultivator clans, they will definitely put these two families at the forefront.

If the Zhou family can advance to the top 13 in the finals and the Xu family fails, then the Zhou family will be the strongest immortal cultivation family in Lanzhou except for the Jindan family!

"We will give you three more days to rest. The final will be held three days later. The rules are the same as before. Only the top thirteen families will advance!"

After announcing the names of the six qualifying families in the Shu group, the referee, the yellow-robed Taoist Shan Yangzi, announced the time and rules of the final.

After hearing what he said, the six families in the Shu Group breathed a sigh of relief.

Although three days is not a long time, it is enough for them to relieve their tired minds and bodies.

Otherwise, if they were to drag themselves into battle with the other twenty-four powerful families in their current exhausted state, they would have no confidence in winning.

Three days passed by in a flash.

On the day of the final, three referees appeared together and presided over the final.

"The first match of the finals, Lanzhou Zhou family versus Cangzhou Yan family!"

As the yellow-robed Taoist priest Shan Yangzi's voice rang out, cultivators from both the Zhou and Yan families walked out of their settlements somewhat unexpectedly.

None of them expected that they would be the first family to take the stage.

The thoughts in the Zhou family cultivator's mind were even more subtle.

When they came here more than forty days ago, they all witnessed with their own eyes the scene of many Yan family cultivators riding on two phoenix-feathered stone vultures and flying through the air.

The scene at that time left a deep impression on the Zhou family cultivators who inherited the beast taming skills. Unexpectedly, today the two families would compete on this stage.

"The Yan family has a late Purple Mansion cultivator, three late Foundation Establishment cultivators, and two second-level monsters. This battle will be extremely difficult, and everyone must be careful!"

On the way to the arena, Zhou Daoyi spoke about the Yan family in a serious tone, and briefly described the tactics that had been formulated against families like the Yan family.

As a qualifying family from Group A, the Yan family was an opponent that the Zhou family paid more attention to, so they naturally made some preparations.

But they also knew in their hearts that the Yan family would definitely make tactical plans against the Zhou family, which had made a big splash at this "Conference of a Hundred Clans".

So the final outcome will have to wait until the game starts to be revealed.

Soon, the purple palace battle between the two sides began.

This match is worth watching. Although the Yan family currently has only one Purple Mansion period cultivator, he is a late Purple Mansion period cultivator. Zhou Mingde and the Fire God Jackal will not be their match.

The two sides didn't exchange a few moves before Zhou Mingde, not wanting to waste his magic power, voluntarily admitted defeat.

When they stepped down, neither side's foundation-building had started yet.

In this way, a quarter of an hour after the Purple Mansion Field ended, the Foundation Building Field finally began.

The audience, who were originally quite bored, now perked up.

On the stage, after the monks from both families stepped onto the stage, they immediately started to take action following the referee's command.

On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Chun and others released all the second-level monster pets at once.

The Yan family also had two foundation-building cultivators who released a second-order, intermediate-grade monster, the golden leopard, and a second-order, low-grade monster, the silver-backed iron centipede.

Then both sides used their prepared tactics.

On the Zhou family's side, Zhu Yanhe flapped his wings and released a series of fireballs at the golden leopard, intending to fight it one-on-one.

Then the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle also pounced on the silver-backed iron centipede, and the insect and the eagle started fighting each other.

The Golden-Armored Rock Turtle and the Earth-Armored Bear went to help Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng to deal with a cultivator from the Yan family who was in the middle stage of foundation building and a cultivator from the early stage of foundation building who was practicing the method of fighting.

The Yan family originally wanted to send the cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building and the silver-backed iron centipede to deal with the combination of Zhou Chun and the golden-armored rock turtle.

Then let the cultivator in the late foundation building stage quickly eliminate Zhou Jiarui or Zhou Jiapeng.

But at this time, with the tactical changes made by the Yan and Zhou families, their late foundation building cultivator had no choice but to act decisively and come to deal with Zhou Chun.

The previous battles with the Zhou family had already made them deeply understand the combat effectiveness of the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai. They knew very well that a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building would definitely not be able to stop the combination of Zhou Chun and the Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai.

And this late-stage foundation-building cultivator from the Yan family was not sure that he could get rid of Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng, who were protected by a golden-armored rock turtle and an earth-armored bear, faster than Zhou Chun.

In this way, the Zhou family undoubtedly gained a tactical advantage and successfully brought the opponent into their own rhythm!

Zhou Chun had the [Xuanling Golden Bell] on his head and dragon scales and golden shields flying around him. He focused mainly on defending himself and left the task of attacking the opponent to the Silver Lightning Python Baibai.

The Yan family cultivator on the opposite side also knew how strong Zhou Chun's defense was, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to break through the several layers of defense and hurt Zhou Chun in a short period of time.

Therefore, he changed his main target to the Silver Electric Thunder Python Baibai, preparing to severely injure and drive away this second-level low-grade demon python first.

But Baibai, the Silver Electric Thunder Python, was so agile that the "Lightning Flash" spell moved as fast as lightning, making it difficult to hit him at all.

More importantly, Zhou Chun would not just watch him hurt Bai Bai. He had been activating the [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel] and the "Flying Dragon" magic weapon to help Bai Bai resist his attacks.

Before this, the master and servant had already had many experiences of working together to deal with cultivators in the late stage of foundation building and second-order high-quality monsters, so they would not be hurt in a short period of time.

After fighting like this for about a quarter of an hour, the Yan family's second-level low-grade monster, the Silver-backed Iron Centipede, was the first to fail to withstand the damage from the Golden-winged Iron-feathered Eagle. It was pecked through the head and escaped from the ring with black and red blood flowing out.

The natural enemies of poisonous insects such as centipedes and scorpions are mostly flying beasts.

Although eagles do not eat these poisonous insects very often, they still have great racial advantages when dealing with them.

The silver-backed iron centipede was so tightly restrained by the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle that it couldn't make any waves at all.

As the silver-backed iron centipede escaped, the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle quickly changed its target and pounced on the Yan family's early foundation-building cultivator who was fighting with his master Zhou Jiapeng.

The Yan family cultivator who was in the early stage of foundation building practiced a popular fighting method. His combat power was very strong. He could face the attacks of Zhou Jiapeng and the Earth Armored Bear alone without being at a disadvantage.

But now with the appearance of a golden-winged iron-feathered eagle, he seemed to be struggling.

In terms of flexibility, the Golden-winged Iron-feathered Eagle is much stronger than the Earth-armored Bear and Zhou Jiapeng himself.

At this time, one man and two pets surrounded and beat up the other man, and Zhou Jiapeng had already seen the dawn of victory.

When the other Yan family cultivators saw this scene, their expressions changed slightly.

Then the Yan family cultivator who was fighting against Zhou Daoquan had a fierce look in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision. He suddenly struck out with a palm, and a red light shone from his palm. A red fire dragon raised its head and roared angrily and flew towards Zhou Daoquan.

This was his secret skill that he had been hiding for dozens of battles, all in order to be able to show off his skill in the final and decide the outcome with one strike.

However, it has been many years since Zhou Daoquan broke through to the late stage of foundation building. In order to prepare for long journeys, he has also specially practiced a powerful self-defense secret technique.

Seeing the extraordinary power of the secret technique displayed by his opponent, he no longer cared to hide his weakness and immediately formed a seal with his hands and pushed forward.

I saw a ray of ochre-colored spiritual light gathering and spreading in front of him, quickly condensing into a round mirror covered with mysterious patterns, protecting him behind it.

After the red fire dragon hit the round mirror, it exploded with a loud bang.

However, this attack, which was more powerful than an ordinary second-grade top-grade spell, ultimately failed to hurt Zhou Daoquan at all, as it was all blocked by the round mirror!
Bang!
Accompanied by a slight explosion sound, the round mirror in front of Zhou Daoquan also completed its mission and shattered.

But Zhou Daoquan looked very relaxed.

He didn't let down the team, which meant that the Zhou family was about to win.

The Yan family has already used one trump card, and it is impossible for them to use all their trump cards on the Zhou family. If they do that, their future path will be very difficult.

The key point is that even if they use all their remaining cards, they may not be able to win against the Zhou family!

Sure enough, in the subsequent battle, Zhou Jiapeng finally forced his opponent to activate the formation protection token.

After getting rid of such an opponent, they each with two pets went to help Zhou Jiarui and easily eliminated the Yan family's mid-stage foundation building cultivator.

Seeing this, the remaining three Yan family foundation-building cultivators simply chose to admit defeat.

In the subsequent Qi Refining Field, the Zhou family also defeated the Yan family and won a point.

Therefore, after the first game, both sides scored exactly three points, which was considered a tie.

Alas! I don’t seem to be able to write a plot that shows off and slaps people in the face. This kind of competition should be a good opportunity, but I really can’t do it! Forget it, the plot of the conference will end tomorrow anyway, and the next step is to enter the plot that I am really good at!
