Chapter 547: The New Generation of Strong Experts in Star Fall Continent

"Village Chief, I'm sorry, I let you down!"

Outside the Ziyan Fucheng where Liu Family Village was located.

The first round of elimination matches for the Qi Refining Realm competition had just ended, and Li Lan came to Liu Laosan with a dejected look to admit his mistake.

As one of the only two mid-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivators from Liu Family Village participating in the competition, Li Lan was full of confidence before coming to participate in the competition, and had repeatedly boasted in front of Liu Laosan that he would enter the final and win glory for Liu Family Village.

It was just that Li Lan didn't expect that he wouldn't even pass the first round of this Qi Refining competition, and was directly defeated in the defender battle in the final stage of the elimination match just now.

And Liu Yuan, who was on the side, although he luckily advanced in the first round of elimination matches in Ziyan Prefecture and gained the qualification to head to the commandery city to participate in the second round of elimination matches, he was also hit hard at this time and lost his previous confidence.

Looking at Li Lan, who was dejected and had a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, Liu Laosan shook his head slightly and comforted him: "This is not your fault, you have already done very well, no need to blame yourself."

Although Li Lan was defeated in the first round of elimination matches and didn't reach Liu Laosan's previous expectation of making it into the final, Liu Laosan didn't have any dissatisfaction.

Because before this, not only was Li Lan too conceited, but even he, Liu Laosan, was also sitting in a well and looking at the sky, underestimating the strong experts of the younger generation in the Star Fall Continent.

He thought that by relying on the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivation bases of Li Lan and Liu Yuan, they would have a chance to enter the final of this Qi Refining Realm competition.

But this time, just in the first round of elimination matches in Ziyan Prefecture, there were a full dozens of mid-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

Even Liu Yuan, if it weren't for the fact that he narrowly defeated his opponent at the last moment by relying on the great success of the low-level spell Clear Wind Sword Art, he would probably have failed to advance in the first round of elimination matches.

This was also the main reason why Liu Yuan succeeded in advancing but was hit hard and his confidence was frustrated.

Liu Yuan was very suspicious of his own strength, which had barely advanced in the first round of elimination matches, and whether he really had a chance to make it into the final. Thinking of this, a look of confusion appeared in Liu Yuan's eyes.

Instead, those in Liu Family Village whose cultivation bases were at the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm and whose talent was only one or two-element spiritual root talent did not suffer too much of a blow.

Although the morale was somewhat low due to being eliminated, they didn't suffer a blow and fall into self-doubt.

After all, they themselves were at the very bottom of the cultivation world, had self-awareness, and didn't hold any hope of advancing for this Qi Refining Realm competition.

So compared to Liu Yuan and Li Lan, who were full of confidence before, they were more adapted to this failure.

Liu Laosan noticed the confusion in the eyes of the silent Liu Yuan and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Not to mention Li Lan and Liu Yuan, after seeing the overall strength of the younger generation in the Star Fall Continent, how could Liu Laosan himself not feel frustrated? With the figure whose cultivation base had already reached the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm appearing in the first round of elimination matches in Ziyan Prefecture, a touch of bitterness flowed in Liu Laosan's heart.

He had cultivated hard for most of his life, and was caught up by others in less than ten years of cultivation time.

Comparing people with people, it can really piss people off.

Although he was also hit hard, Liu Laosan looked at the silent Liu Yuan, who was confused, and still opened his mouth to enlighten him:

"Liu Yuan, you don't need to question yourself. You and Li Lan can break through to the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm at this age, which is already better than many people."

"This time, it's the Village Chief's fault. I underestimated the younger generation of cultivators in the entire Star Fall Continent."

"However, by taking advantage of this competition to let you recognize your strength among the younger generation in advance, it might not be a bad thing."

"What's more, we are now in a great era of cultivation. As long as you persist in your cultivation, in the future, you may not be able to catch up from behind and surpass the current predecessors in one fell swoop."

After speaking, Liu Laosan looked at Liu Yuan and Li Lan with encouragement.

And hearing Liu Laosan's last sentence, the two of them shook their bodies slightly and got rid of their negative emotions.

After taking a deep breath, the two of them had bright eyes and spoke in unison:

"Village Chief, we won't let you down."

Seeing this, Liu Laosan laughed out loud and was very satisfied:

"Good, hahaha, you can get rid of the blow you suffered this time, and the Village Chief is already satisfied."

In fact, Liu Laosan didn't deceive Liu Yuan and Li Lan. Once they improved their cultivation bases and had the qualifications to enter the Green Demon Realm to hunt, they would indeed have the opportunity to catch up with others.

It was just that Liu Yuan and Li Lan didn't know how slim the opportunity to obtain this so-called opportunity was.

His gaze flickered slightly, Liu Laosan looked at Liu Yuan and continued:

"Liu Yuan, this time you succeeded in advancing. The Village Chief and the participants of Liu Family Village will follow you to the commandery city to participate in the second round of elimination matches. In this second round of elimination matches, you don't need to think about making it into the final, just do your best."

"In the competition among peers, if you can find your own flaws and make up for them, that is the biggest gain of your trip."

Hearing Liu Laosan's words, Liu Yuan subconsciously clenched his fists and nodded fiercely:

"Yes, Village Chief, I know."

Afterwards, Liu Laosan took the group from Liu Family Village to Ziyan Fucheng to wait for the strong experts of Dongxuan City to lead them to the commandery city to participate in the second round of elimination matches.

In fact, it wasn't just Liu Laosan's group.

This time, after the first round of elimination matches for the Qi Refining Realm competition in the Star Fall Continent ended, the strength shown by many new generations in the Star Fall Continent shocked many older generation cultivators in the Star Fall Continent.

Before the competition, they knew that there were special cases of "geniuses" in the cultivation world, but they didn't expect that there would be so many so-called "geniuses" in their eyes.

But this was also normal.

After all, before Ye Qingxuan unified the Star Fall Continent and held the Qi Refining Realm cultivator competition for the entire Star Fall Continent, most of the cultivators in the Star Fall Continent only focused on their own one-third of an acre of land and knew very little about the new generation of the entire Star Fall Continent.

Some cultivators were even too busy with their own cultivation, so how could they have time to pay attention to the juniors who had nothing to do with them?

Now Ye Qingxuan gathered most of the new generation of cultivators in the Star Fall Continent and held a Qi Refining Realm competition that affected the entire Star Fall Continent, which was equivalent to exposing the new generation of cultivators in the Star Fall Continent directly to everyone's eyes.

In this way, it naturally broke many people's limited cognition of the new generation of cultivators in the Star Fall Continent before, and made them fall into self-doubt.

One day later, the first round of elimination matches for the Qi Refining Realm competition in over three hundred prefectures of the Star Fall Continent had all ended successfully.

Under the jurisdiction of the strong experts of Dongxuan City, the ten winning Qi Refining Realm cultivators from each prefecture rushed to their respective commandery cities.

Among the more than three thousand new generation cultivators who advanced to the second round of elimination matches for the Qi Refining Realm competition, all of them were cultivators above the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

In addition to the participants at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, there were also nearly two hundred strong experts whose cultivation bases had already reached the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, or even the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

The overall cultivation base exposed by the new generation of the Star Fall Continent shocked many people, and also attracted many eyes.

"So our Star Fall Continent still has such geniuses? Have they cultivated to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm in less than ten years? I was sitting in a well and looking at the sky before."

"Interesting, interesting, even new generations at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, or even the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, have appeared. It is worthy of being a competition for the new generation within the entire Star Fall Continent."

"Qi Refining Realm competition? New generation of Star Fall Continent? My Dongxuan City's future cornerstone? It is worth me coming out of seclusion to see." "New generation of Star Fall Continent? Perhaps it is more appropriate to say the new generation of cultivators of Dongxuan City. Alas, if I had known, I should have joined Dongxuan City directly..."

"This Dongxuan City is a good method, gathering the young generation of cultivators in the entire Star Fall Continent. If this continues, how deep will the foundation accumulated by Dongxuan City be in thousands or hundreds of years?"

"It's just that without the wormhole passage, can the development speed of Dongxuan City, which is huddled in the Star Fall Continent, really catch up with the forces in other great provinces?"

Some Dongxuan City cultivators, loose cultivators, and even some spies left behind by other forces when they withdrew from the Star Fall Continent, who were not interested in the first Qi Refining Realm competition in the Star Fall Continent before.

After the information about the first round of elimination matches for the Qi Refining Realm competition was spread, they successively had various strange looks at the Qi Refining new generation competition held by Dongxuan City.

Many loose cultivators in the Star Fall Continent and spies left behind by other forces had already set off to head to the commandery city nearest to them, preparing to watch the second round of elimination matches for the Qi Refining Realm competition.

Even some Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion realm cultivators who remained in Dongxuan City to cultivate in seclusion took a keen interest in the first Qi Refining realm grand competition of Star Fall Continent, one after another stepping out of their secluded cultivation caves.

However, although these Dongxuan City cultivators had already come out of seclusion, they didn't intend to head to other commandery cities, but were waiting for the arrival of the final of the Qi Refining Realm competition in Dongxuan City.

As low-order cultivators of Dongxuan City, although their strength was not strong, they had a sense of superiority brought by Dongxuan City.

Only the Qi Refining Realm cultivators who passed the elimination matches and came to Dongxuan City to participate in the final were qualified to let them come out of seclusion to see the duel between the new generation of Qi Refining Realm.

As time passed, on the battle platforms outside the twenty commandery cities of the Star Fall Continent, the second round of elimination matches for the Qi Refining Realm competition was in full swing.

The competition system for the second round of elimination matches for this Qi Refining competition was different from the first round of elimination matches.

Although there were more than three thousand cultivators who advanced to the second round of elimination matches, when averaged to twenty commanderies, each commandery only had less than two hundred people.

In order to select true strong experts to head to Dongxuan City to participate in the final, this second round of elimination matches was much more rigorous.

Although it was also randomly dueling in pairs at the beginning, the winner advances.

But the loser would not be directly eliminated, and there would be random duels in pairs in the loser's group again.

If you lose two matches, you are directly eliminated.

If you win three matches in a row in the loser's group, you can enter the winner's group again to participate in the competition.

This cycle continues until the strongest ten people are decided, and then these ten people are allowed to duel one-on-one in turn.

The winner gets one point, and the loser does not deduct points.

Finally, the cultivators ranked in the top five in points can gain the opportunity to head to Dongxuan City to participate in the final.

However, because there were more matches in the cycle, this second round of elimination matches would last for about half a month.

For a full half a month, the cultivators in the second round of elimination matches fought round after round, and many new generation strong experts made certain breakthroughs in cultivation or spells during the battle.

After rounds of battles, Liu Yuan from Liu Family Village had long been eliminated and was now watching the duels of other cultivators under the stage with the people of Liu Family Village.

Although he failed to advance to the final, Liu Yuan's gains from this trip were not small.

I believe that after returning, whether it was his cultivation base or spells, he could have certain progress.

Besides that, in other commandery cities.

Shi Huang from Stone Village, Yuan Qingcheng from Yuanqing Fucheng, Li Taibai from Taibai Fucheng, Wang Teng from Taiyuan Juncheng, Xiao Yuexian from Liyan Juncheng, and other new generation strong experts.

In the elimination matches in their respective commandery cities, they swept away one strong expert after another.

Half a month later, when the second round of elimination matches ended, some of them maintained a perfect record, and some lost one or two matches due to a slight difference.

But without exception, they all gained the qualification to head to Dongxuan City to participate in the final of the Qi Refining Realm competition.

On the open-air battle platform outside Taiyuan Juncheng, Shi Huang stood on the stage somewhat embarrassed with empty hands. At this time, his spiritual energy was exhausted and he was unable to fight again.

"In the last match, Yue Xiling wins."

"Our Taiyuan Juncheng elimination match officially ends. Those who gain the qualification to head to Dongxuan City to participate in the final are: Taiyuan Juncheng · Yue Xiling, Taiyuan Juncheng · Zi Dutian, Xueyou Prefecture · Leng Ren, Diyuan Prefecture · Zhang Xinghao, Stone Village · Shi Huang!"

Now the villages, small towns, and cities in the Star Fall Continent were all directly under Dongxuan City, so there was no distinction between superior and inferior between Stone Village, or prefecture cities, or commandery cities.

So in this Qi Refining Realm competition, the participating players all used the village, or town, or city they came from as a prefix.

Hearing the final announcement, Shi Huang felt relieved in his heart, and at the same time, looked at the beautiful figure not far away with a slight bitterness.

In the elimination match in Taiyuan Juncheng, although his cultivation base had broken through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm, he still lost two matches.

The first match was before his cultivation base broke through, and he lost to Xueyou Prefecture · Leng Ren.

The second match was after his cultivation base broke through, and he finally lost to Taiyuan Juncheng · Yue Xiling.

Taking a deep breath, the slight bitterness in Shi Huang's heart dissipated instantly, and his gaze returned to the initial calm.

It was just a mere Qi Refining Realm competition.

And in the elimination match in Taiyuan Fucheng, he was the youngest.

Give him time, and he would naturally surpass all strong enemies.

Huoyuan Commandery.

Yuan Qingcheng's exquisite face was expressionless, holding a long spear and scanning the participating players of Huoyuan Commandery, a sense of pride rising in her heart.

No other reason, just because she achieved a perfect record in the elimination match in Huoyuan Commandery.

Not a single one of the participating players in the entire Huoyuan Commandery was worth her all-out battle, so she easily gained the qualification to head to Dongxuan City to participate in the final.

For the first place in this new generation Qi Refining competition, she was already determined to get it.

Taiyuan Juncheng.

Wang Teng looked gloomily at the figure holding a long sword and facing the enemy lightly on the battle platform, a trace of haze appearing in his eyes.

He, who regarded the first place in the final of the Qi Refining competition as something in his pocket, actually lost in the second round of elimination matches.

And the person who defeated him was currently fighting the last match of the second round of elimination matches on the battle platform.

Nangong Ji from Lord Nan Yu Prefecture, a pure sword cultivator.
