Chapter 337: Starting Later but Wanting to Arrive First
The two days of rest passed quickly.

In the venue of the competition.

The final day of divisional elimination matches is underway.

The first to start is the single-elimination tournament where the top 36 advance to the top 24.

Because they made it into the top 36, and because everyone had won consecutive battles, there was no ranking difference.

Therefore, at this stage, the competition group of the Dao League Qianlong Tournament summarized the total fighting time of all thirty-six geniuses and monsters in the ring. This is another value that can best reflect their fighting efficiency under the same performance.

The twelve people who take the shortest time will be given a bye and will directly enter the next round of fighting.

Yue Hanzhang, Jiang Lingxiu, Ye Yishui, Jiang Ziran, and other talented monks who have performed amazingly and have already made crazy positive progress are all on this list.

The remaining twenty-four people will be randomly paired by drawing lots, the winner will advance and the loser will retreat.

Because the victory process was too repetitive in the last two days, Huang Zhishu fell among these people.

She is about to fight on stage.

On the side of the ring, Yue Hanzhang and Jiang Lingzheng stood there quietly, as if watching the fight for Huang Zhishu and cheering her on.

But actually.

Having witnessed Huang Zhishu's leap into the half-step transcendental beast form sublimation state with his own eyes, Yue Hanzhang had no worries or concerns about the improvement in Huang Zhishu's true combat power.

What really concerned Yue Hanzhang at this moment was the other person who was also waiting to be matched with an opponent.

Luo Xingqian.

At this moment, there was no outburst of extraordinary aura, but Yue Hanzhang could still intuitively see the obvious changes in a person's spirit, energy and spirit!
He was completely different from before. There was a kind of spiritual will lingering in his mental state and physical aura, as if it was a result of years of continuous victories, which made him feel that he could defeat everything and be invincible to any opponent.

That was something he had never had before.

That is something that ordinary people cannot fake.

Why did he undergo such a drastic change?

Could it be that after me, the Luo family reached a deal with someone else, allowing Luo Xingqian to enter the main competition unimpeded?

Or was it that an ancient family like the Luo family brought out its own heritage to allow Luo Xingqian to improve his cultivation and combat power, and the expansion of his attack and killing capabilities in a short period of time made him go crazy?
It couldn't be possible that he was cheating too?
As he was thinking this, Yue Hanzhang couldn't help but turn his head and look at the spectator seats on all sides.

Many dignitaries from the provincial capital who were rarely seen in the past came today.

Even the boxes placed on the viewing seats on all sides were opened one after another today, and real noble families moved in to watch the ceremony.

Only.

Yue Hanzhang only saw Luo Zhaolan in the first row of the ordinary spectator seats.

Logically speaking.

According to the concept of hierarchy actually formed between the Taoist Alliance and the aristocratic families, the person in charge of a state-level aristocratic family, even if he is not the patriarch in public, will not sit in such a conspicuous place that does not highlight his status.

Either he is a conspicuous person like Jiang Ziran, or he is a junior from a noble family.

Or, she was determined to show off today!

In this way, "condescending" can allow her to gain fame more smoothly!
The evidence from the details made Yue Hanzhang realize that something unusual might happen today.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Since he had rejected the Luo family three times in a row, would these lunatics be angry and humiliated? Would they wait for an opportunity to take revenge?
Luo Zhaolan once said that they still have connections and can arrange the opponents for the ring match.

Thinking about it this way, if they really were to make it work, let Luo Xingqian and Huang Zhishu fight each other.

I don’t know which one is more powerful, the family’s foundation or the beast form that is half a step beyond the limit?
Yue Hanzhang was thinking this.

The matching list was projected in the air above the venue.

Unfortunately, Yue Hanzhang's conjecture could no longer be verified, and he had no way of knowing whether this was the result of the Luo family interfering in the matching.

But on the final list, the Luo family did not face Huang Zhishu as originally expected.

Perhaps Luo Zhaolan was also afraid of Yue Hanzhang's fearless repeated rejections.

At the most critical moment when the Luo family was launching their most talented person, they chose the most extreme and safe option -

Huang Zhishu's opponent was a laggard who had barely managed to make it to the top 36, a noble from an aristocratic family who had never experienced the trials of bloody battles.

Luo Xingqian's opponent is also such a laggard.

In such a match, at least at this moment, Yue Hanzhang has become completely confident of Huang Zhishu's victory.

It was already very difficult for that person to break into the top 36. He was one of those who really made it to the bottom line. Luck played a big part in his ranking.

Even though he was facing Huang Zhishu from a few days ago.

Yue Hanzhang believed that after repeated attacks and defenses, Huang Zhishu would be the final winner.

Not to mention, Huang Zhishu's combat power has improved significantly now.

If there are no "surprising" changes in the opponent in the next few days, the outcome is already determined.

This is what Yue Hanzhang thought, and this is exactly what Huang Zhishu did.

The application of the two energies of frost and fire in form and spirit, and in the virtual and real levels, under the display of the illusory spiritual wind, makes her attack and killing methods as unpredictable as her body shape.

The moment he made a move, he seized the initiative. His ghostly and real tactics kept changing, completely pulling the opponent's offense and defense system apart from its rhythm and motion in the shortest few breaths.

At last.

The frost and mist condensed into ice, and the cold edges bathed in the enchanting flames, reaching straight into the man's throat.

A decisive and clean victory.

When walking towards the ring.

Huang Zhishu even glanced at Ye Yishui provocatively.

Probably because they got a little closer in the bloody battle, the netizens always like to pair people up, such as the rumors about Yue Hanzhang and Ye Yishui, even Luo Zhaolan, who wanted to make a deal, knew the truth. And Huang Zhishu has a jealous temper.

Moreover, even if there were no influence of emotional factors, among the top geniuses in the Iron-Blooded Era, the two people who were best at using attributes such as coldness and icy were only Huang Zhishu and Ye Yishui.

This kind of small action similar to healthy competition has appeared between Huang Zhishu and Ye Yishui for a long time.

According to previous cases, at this moment, Ye Yishui should have glared back.

Even in a moment, the properties of water, ice and fog can be transformed and changed to "attack" Huang Zhishu.

But for some reason, Ye Yishui seemed absent-minded at this moment and ignored Huang Zhishu's provocation.

The ring competition is still going on.

This little ripple soon subsided.

And the next fight in the ring...

Although because of the competition for the most crucial place in the finals, the noisy voices in the spectator seats on all sides of the venue today were much louder than at any time before.

But for the genius monks who have truly experienced bloody battles.

The competition of 36 to 24, and even the competition for the 12 places in the finals thereafter, has essentially lost any "novelty" to speak of.

After such a long knockout process, who is strong and who is weak, and who will win when they meet each other.

Any genius or monster who is familiar with fighting in the ring will form his own accurate judgment, and with such accurate judgment, there will be almost no accidents.

Huang Zhishu's half-step transcendence in beast form is the only unexpected surprise of the day so far in the ring match.

This was a routine and "unoriginal" process until the moment Luo Xingqian stepped onto the stage, when everything came to an abrupt end.

when--

As the sounds of bells and tripods rang out in preparation, an unprecedented majestic and extraordinary aura suddenly burst out from Luo Xingqian's body.

The moment he felt this vigorous aura, Yue Hanzhang seemed to be under stress, and his fierce murderous aura and vigorous fighting spirit almost erupted in an instant!
This was Yue Hanzhang's instinctive reaction.

Feel the instinctive reaction of "the same kind"!

In that vigorous momentum, there is the brewing of some kind of extraordinary means, a strength that is close to the peak of a realm, and an invincible spirit of sweeping away all obstacles and achieving victory!

That is the stress response of "there can't be two tigers in one mountain"!

This means that Luo Xingqian really completed a transformation in just a few days. He possessed super-normal combat power, which boosted the increase of his aura and foundation, until he could fight at the peak of the first realm!

And these have always been Yue Hanzhang's standard equipment in the past.

There were already bursts of uproars from the spectator stands.

Sure enough, is a glorious iron-blooded era really about to begin? After a genius's monstrous talent breaks through a certain limit, more geniuses of super-limit levels begin to emerge like mushrooms after rain? !
Under such a grand topic of contemporary narrative, Yue Hanzhang is the first to show his extraordinary level of evil.

No matter how unreasonable things are, within such a framework, they all seem so natural and acceptable to others.

And immediately after.

What was even more shocking was that, accompanied by the rising of a vigorous and extraordinary aura that far exceeded the limits of ordinary cultivation realms, the Taoist seals began to unfold between Luo Xingqian's brows.

The revelation of the Taoist crown turned the uproar into waves of surprise!

One, two, three, four! Five—!
Five overlapping purple-gold Taoist crowns hung above Luo Xingqian's head!

what does this mean?
This means that the second genius who was beyond the scope and limit, in the first moment of his transformation, after mastering all the levels with the same equivalent standards, he even surpassed Yue Hanzhang in the realm of cultivation!
Is this a sign that the tide of the times is surging past and the new wave is beginning to overwhelm the old wave?

Moreover, looking at the five-layer crown hanging above Luo Xingqian's head, it was so full of spiritual light. It was obvious that every Taoist seal on the extraordinary loop had been refined and lit by him.

This means that he can almost easily break into the next level.

What limits his ability to move to a higher level is actually the rest time during the divisional knockout rounds.

And it was at this moment.

In a flash of lightning, in a breath and three sighs.

It seems that a truly unexpected match is about to begin on the ring.

Suddenly, in a half-suspended box, the window was pushed open, and an old man from an aristocratic family with an old face cried out in surprise.

“What kind of combination of golden seals is this?!”

The person who asked the question was an old professor named Tian from Donghua Taoist Temple, who had profound attainments in the theory of extraordinary spiritual practice.

Old professors like these, who are extremely learned, have almost reached the level of being able to identify the golden seal of ordination at a glance through the intricate seal patterns on the Taoist crown.

And this was a gold seal configuration he had never seen before.

really.

next moment.

In the front row of the spectator seats, Luo Zhaolan spoke with a smile.

“In the past, the ancestors of the Luo family left behind an abandoned outline of the top path, but many parts of it were blocked. A while ago, the kid Xing Qian accidentally saw it.

He was fascinated at the first sight, because the two golden seals the child had obtained earlier corresponded exactly to this top path.

Fortunately, thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, Xingqian was able to survive during this turbulent time in Qizhou.

Once he was enlightened, he really walked out of his own path based on the vision left by his ancestors!

All these transformational changes are the feedback given by the boundless sea of ​​Tao!

Ladies and Gentlemen——

This is my Luo family’s Qilin son, [Xuanfu Prison Warden] Luo Xingqian! "
