Chapter 629: Grand Competition Strategy

At this time, everyone on the scene suddenly heard a peaceful voice in their ears, "I am the Outer Sect Grand Elder, Situ Changhai; all disciples, be silent!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, all the disciples on the scene immediately saluted in unison:

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Situ Changhai heard this and couldn't help but laugh, waving his hand and saying: "Alright! Alright! No need for more courtesies! This ten-year grand competition happens to coincide with the sect's Tianshui Grand Ceremony, and now the high-level officials of the sect are all busy with this matter.

There is no time to come to the scene to watch the ceremony, so this outer sect grand competition can only be hosted by me with full authority!

I won't say much else; the rules are the same as before; the first round of the ten-year grand competition still adopts the ten-person free-for-all method.

Screen out the most elite disciples to participate in the subsequent competitions; for the specific battle list, come and look at the Wuliang Jade Wall yourselves!"

After finishing, he waved his hand and threw out a cyan jade token; unexpectedly, the jade token unfolded in the wind and instantly turned into a giant jade wall a hundred zhang high!

Then, characters started appearing on both sides of the jade wall; because the distance was a bit far, Lin Zhangqing scanned it directly with his spiritual sense! He discovered that the front of the jade wall displayed the battle list for Foundation Establishment disciples.

The reverse side must be the battle information for Qi Refining disciples, but Lin Zhangqing was not interested in these little guys!

Thus, he only studied the list on the front and discovered that the information on it was quite detailed, just like the first arena on the right hand side.

Named Jia Yi Arena, and then there were the names of the ten disciples participating, with the corresponding cave abode numbers behind the names, so there wouldn't be any mistakes with the same names! Then there was the Jia Er Arena, all the way to the Jia Shi Arena; Lin Zhangqing took a look and didn't find his name.

So he focused his attention on the first arena and discovered that one after another, ten figures went up to the arena and each occupied a corner of the arena! After the high-grade cultivator on the stage verified their identities, the defensive formation on the arena was activated.

Then a free-for-all started on the stage; here one could see some things! Some Foundation Establishment early and mid-stage cultivators, wanting to stay on the stage longer, would try their best to find opponents with similar cultivation or inferior to themselves!

And one thousand five hundred zhang in radius was still a bit too crowded for ten Foundation Establishment cultivators! So very quickly, several low-cultivation ones were either blasted off the arena or controlled by others, and then opened their mouths to admit defeat and leave!

Therefore, seven disciples with relatively low cultivation were eliminated very quickly, and the remaining three were all late Foundation Establishment cultivators!

By this time, Lin Zhangqing also saw some ways; those fellow disciples with early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation knew they had no possibility of obtaining the top ten quota! So they just fought for it appropriately and didn't try their best, so the ones left at the end were all late Foundation Establishment fellow disciples!

By this time, it was the time for true skills to be seen; the means of the remaining three fellow disciples were much more intense than just now! Spells, spirit talismans, flying swords, and even secret arts flew everywhere, and the figures of the three people also scurried everywhere.

For fear of being caught in a pincer attack by the other two fellow disciples, so often spells hit the defensive formation.

Lin Zhangqing watched with relish from the outside; sure enough, the level of spell fighting of sect disciples was higher than that of scattered cultivators outside without inheritance! However, after watching for so long, Lin Zhangqing had a rough understanding of the level of his fellow disciples! He felt that as long as he used the Thunder Horn or the Palm Thunder, he could fully handle it; anyway, the fact that he had a Thunder Spirit Root had already been known by the sect!

Then it was very normal for him to know a common Palm Thunder and be able to use a few thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts! Unless he encountered a particularly powerful fellow disciple, Lin Zhangqing believed that these means were enough to handle it! If he encountered a fellow disciple that even the Palm Thunder and thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts couldn't handle, then he would at most release a small portion of the second-stage Shocking Spirit Cicadas.

Of course, that was only in a situation where there was really no other way that Lin Zhangqing would consider doing so! After thinking about the basic strategy for the grand competition, Lin Zhangqing watched the battle with peace of mind!

Of course, he had been paying attention to the Wuliang Jade Wall, for fear that his name would appear and he wouldn't know it.

However, he waited until noon before it was Lin Zhangqing's turn to go on stage!

It was at the ninth arena, the Jia Jiu Arena; Lin Zhangqing hurried over immediately, and after going up to the arena, he took out his identity jade token.

He let the high-grade cultivator on the stage verify his identity, and then activated two defensive spiritual artifacts and cast a Five Elements Hunyuan Shield!

Then he scanned a circle with his spiritual sense and discovered that there were only four late Foundation Establishment fellow disciples on the stage, and the rest were early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

Lin Zhangqing looked at the four late Foundation Establishment fellow disciples, and then everyone had a clear idea in their hearts!

When the high-grade cultivator on the stage signaled that the competition could begin, Lin Zhangqing moved for the first time!

He shot three flying swords over, followed by a series of over a dozen Fireball Techniques!

Seeing Lin Zhangqing attack so fiercely, that fellow disciple was startled, desperately moved his position, and then added two layers of defense to himself.

Unfortunately, at this time, Lin Zhangqing's sword control speed was very fast; he desperately dodged twice, his defense was broken, and finally, he was blasted off the arena by the Fireball Technique!

However, Lin Zhangqing controlled the power and didn't let him suffer any injuries, so the high-grade cultivator on the stage didn't make a move to save him.

After he dealt with that fellow disciple, the others were about the same, so only five late Foundation Establishment cultivators remained on the stage.

Lin Zhangqing rushed directly towards the nearest fellow disciple, and that fellow disciple also quickly responded! Then the two of them very tacitly pulled the battlefield to the edge of the arena, and then both sides started fighting back and forth!

Don't look at the two of them fighting with great vigor; actually, all of this was under Lin Zhangqing's control; if he wanted to win, he could end the opponent at any time.

It was just that he was dragging it out now, wanting to wait for the result in the center of the arena before making a move!

Sure enough, after dragging it out for a while, the center of the arena decided the winner in a series of explosions.

Seeing the other two fellow disciples being saved by the high-grade cultivator on the stage! Needless to say, the cultivator who finally stood in the center of the arena was Lin Zhangqing's final opponent! Seeing that there was already a result over there, he added a bit of effort and forced his current opponent directly off the arena.

By this time, only the two of them were left on the arena!

Lin Zhangqing then had the time to size up his opponent; this was a young cultivator about thirty years old.
