Chapter 550: Loopholes

On the third battle platform, Wang Teng looked at his opponent gloomily and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it!"

His opponent was Ying Wuqiu from Dongxuan City.

Both were at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and were both six-element spiritual root talent holders, and their attainments in their respective spells were about the same.

Although the two fought fiercely for a long time, they still couldn't decide the winner.

And his opponent, Ying Wuqiu, had an equally ugly expression, muttering in his heart:

"It's over, am I going to lose a match in the first round?"

"No, I can't lose. If I lose in the first round, how can I stand in front of that girl Yan Yan Ruyan in the future?"

Thinking of this, Ying Wuqiu hardened his heart, looked at Wang Teng opposite him and said in a low voice:

"Brother, sorry..."

As he spoke, Ying Wuqiu instantly took out thirty yellow-brown talismans from his storage ring and stuck them on his body.

Then he gave up his own defense and attacked Wang Teng fiercely.

The talismans Ying Wuqiu stuck on his body were first-order supreme talismans, "Earth Source Shield," which could release a shield comparable to the ordinary peak of Qi Refining Realm.

In the rules of the Qi Refining Realm competition set by Ye Ye Qingxuan, there was no prohibition on participants using external forces including elixirs, magic treasures, and talismans.

As long as the power of the external forces such as elixirs, magic treasures, and talismans used during the competition did not exceed the limit of the Qi Refining Realm, it complied with the rules of this Qi Refining Realm competition.

Although this was somewhat unfair to those participants from commoner backgrounds.

But where is there true fairness in the cultivation world? In the future, when the new generation of the Star Fall Continent leaves this cradle with a peaceful cultivation atmosphere and heads to other major provinces for training.

When contending with cultivators from other major provinces, or even fighting for life and death with the Green Demon Race, they couldn't demand that the other party not use things they didn't have, right?

What's more, for the top strong experts among the Qi Refining Realm.

As long as these external forces do not exceed the limit of the Qi Refining Realm, it is nothing more than increasing the difficulty a little, and it will not suppress them to the point of having no chance of winning.

So when Ye Ye Qingxuan set the rules for this Qi Refining Realm competition, he had already left a considerable chance of winning for those geniuses from commoner backgrounds.

And the premise of this is that the participants from commoner backgrounds themselves possess excellent talent and can sweep away opponents in the Qi Refining Realm in the Qi Refining Realm competition.

Otherwise... "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

On the third battle platform, Wang Teng saw that his attacks were all blocked by the talismans on Ying Wuqiu's body, and his face suddenly sank.

Although Wang Teng could be considered a strong expert in the Qi Refining Realm, every blow he struck was blocked by the first-order supreme talisman "Earth Source Shield," and at the same time, it instantly shattered a talisman barrier of the Earth Source Shield.

However, he couldn't stand the fact that the shameless Ying Wuqiu had a large number of "Earth Source Shields" stuck on his body.

"Shameless!"

In anger, Wang Teng directly cursed and erupted with all his combat power, carrying his anger to attack Ying Wuqiu.

With his family background, if he wanted first-order supreme talismans, he naturally wouldn't lack them.

However, Wang Teng was full of confidence, thinking before the competition that he didn't need to rely on these external forces, and could sweep away all opponents with his own strength and reach the champion position of the new generation in the Star Fall Continent.

And Wang Teng had always believed that a strong expert should be like him, having the style that a strong expert should have.

Until he met Ying Wuqiu now.

Wang Teng questioned his previous thoughts for the first time.

Opposite, after hearing Wang Teng's curse, Ying Wuqiu also felt slightly embarrassed; however, the offensive in his hands did not pause in the slightest.

Compared to losing the competition in the first round and being mocked by that girl Yan Yan Ruyan, winning without honor is better than losing, right?

"Besides, I didn't violate the rules of the competition, heh!"

After muttering a sentence in his heart, facing Wang Teng whose combat power had fully erupted, the offensive in Ying Wuqiu's hands became even more fierce.

The two were originally evenly matched, now with the help of thirty first-order supreme talismans "Earth Source Shield," Ying Wuqiu could basically ignore Wang Teng's first thirty attacks.

So Ying Wuqiu himself could give up his own defense and unscrupulously launch a continuous offensive against Wang Teng.

As the situation changed, Wang Teng began to fall into a disadvantage bit by bit.

After a stalemate of half a cup of tea, Wang Teng finally lost to Ying Wuqiu with a look of unwillingness.

Among the audience outside the square, seeing this scene, Wang Teng's father was suddenly filled with grief and indignation, and let out an unbelievable cry: "No, Teng'er!"

At the same time, above the suspended platform high in the sky.

Jiang Wen's mouth twitched slightly, subconsciously flipping through the information of the one hundred participating players in the final competition in his hand, and stopped for a moment after flipping to Ying Wuqiu's page: "From Dongxuan City?"

Jiang Wen stared at Ying Wuqiu below for a while, then shook his head slightly, and secretly said in his heart: "Forget it, he didn't violate the rules of the competition, and I have no reason to come out and teach this little guy a lesson afterwards."

"However, I must suggest to the City Lord that in all future competitions, besides limiting the level of external forces such as elixirs, magic treasures, and talismans, we must also limit the quantity of these external forces."

However, Jiang Wen didn't know that Ye Ye Qingxuan on Mount Mount Wanling was already thinking about the problem he suggested.

Ye Ye Qingxuan, who had been paying attention to the progress of this Qi Refining Realm competition final competition on Mount Mount Wanling, naturally also noticed the battle between Ying Wuqiu and Wang Teng.

Ye Ye Qingxuan also had to admit that he still underestimated the thickness of some cultivators' faces.

After all, this was not a life-and-death battle in a no-man's land, but a competition that attracted worldwide attention and involved the entire Star Fall Continent.

"Although the face is a bit thick, this may not necessarily be a disadvantage."

On Mount Mount Wanling, Ye Ye Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back and smiled slightly.

Although he was prepared to further improve the system of various competitions in the future and fill the loopholes in Ying Wuqiu's behavior.

But he did not deny Ying Wuqiu's behavior.

Because in the battle between Wang Teng and Ying Wuqiu, the winner was Ying Wuqiu.

Obtaining the final victory already represented everything.

Being flexible and taking advantage of loopholes in the rules to increase one's winning rate to a certain extent was itself a kind of wit and courage.

Ye Ye Qingxuan believed that quite a few people among the participants had discovered this loophole.

But those who could truly let go of their faces, put down the worldly constraints on themselves, and drill loopholes in the competition that attracted worldwide attention were few and far between.

So for this Qi Refining Realm competition, Ye Ye Qingxuan did not mean to let Jiang Wen come forward to temporarily fill the loophole. He also wanted to see, if relying on a large number of external forces at the Qi Refining level, how far participants like Ying Wuqiu could go.

And in this new generation of the Star Fall Continent, would there appear that kind of genius who could sweep away all obstacles in the same realm? How many participants had such thoughts of drilling loopholes and prepared a large number of external forces such as elixirs and talismans? Ye Ye Qingxuan, although he had been paying attention to the progress of this Qi Refining Realm final competition, did not spy on any information about the participants.

If everything was already in sight and the ending was seen in advance.

Then wouldn't this Qi Refining Realm final competition lose the meaning of watching and appear quite boring? With a wave of his hand, Ye Ye Qingxuan placed a table in front of him and took out quite a few melons, fruits, and tea.

Sitting in the air, Ye Ye Qingxuan ate melons and fruits while watching the competition.

Don't say, these slightly immature battles of the new generation of Qi Refining Realm cultivators, watching them occasionally, also appeared quite interesting.

In the square of Dongxuan City.

While Jiang Wen was staring, Ying Wuqiu, who had just finished the battle, suddenly felt a chill.

It was just that this chill came suddenly and went quickly.

So although Ying Wuqiu had some doubts in his heart, he could only shrug his shoulders and didn't care about that inexplicable chill.

At this time, Ying Wuqiu's mind was more attracted by the large number of first-order supreme talismans and elixirs he specially prepared in his storage ring.

Obviously, he used thirty first-order supreme talismans "Earth Source Shield" in the battle with Wang Teng, which was not a whim, but premeditated.

At first, Ying Wuqiu was still a bit uneasy, and felt a bit embarrassed when facing the audience.

But when he won and heard some cheers from the audience, his embarrassment gradually turned into calmness.

Of course, the negative energy such as curses from the audience was directly filtered out by Ying Wuqiu selectively.

And when he won by using a large number of talismans, and Dongxuan City did not come forward to stop it or change the rules, Ying Wuqiu's uneasiness about winning by using a large number of talismans at the beginning began to turn into excitement.

"Being able to win directly by using the power of talismans, why should I work hard to fight at high intensity myself?"

Well, this thought was very in line with Ying Wuqiu, whose temperament was lazy, although it sounded slightly shameless.

But the thick-skinned Ying Wuqiu had obviously automatically filtered out the word "shameless."

Sweeping his spiritual sense over the storage ring, looking at the large number of first-order supreme talismans and elixirs he secretly prepared before the final competition, Ying Wuqiu chuckled in his heart:

"Hehehe, since no one came forward to change the rules, then this time maybe I still have a chance to compete for the top ten of the final competition, or even fight for the champion position of the new generation in the Star Fall Continent this time."

If it weren't for the array in the battle platform that would interfere with and suppress other arrays.

Ying Wuqiu would have wanted to prepare some first-order supreme array disks and directly use arrays to deal with the enemy during the battle.

Just as Ying Wuqiu was having a beautiful dream, the first round of battles for the Qi Refining Realm final competition had ended.

Under the leadership of many strong experts left in Dongxuan City, using a large number of various combination spirit elixirs, those participants who were injured or exhausted their spiritual power in the great battle began to recover to their peak state at a very fast speed.

Immediately after, there was no need for Jiang Wen to come forward to preside.

The one hundred participants who had already recovered, according to the battle information that had been rearranged in the picture scroll suspended in the air, flew onto the corresponding battle platforms one after another, and opened a new round of battles.

With the passage of time, the opening of round after round of battles.

The one hundred participants successively encountered quite a few strong experts and experienced quite a few difficult battles.

Ying Wuqiu, in the battles that followed, although he defeated quite a few strong opponents by relying on a large number of first-order supreme talismans and elixirs, the consumption of various talismans and elixirs was also getting larger and larger.

Especially when facing some geniuses with seven-element spiritual roots, in front of their perfected low-level spell attacks, the first-order supreme talismans Ying Wuqiu excited did not have much deterrent power.

And when Ying Wuqiu faced the seven-element spiritual root talent level genius from commoner backgrounds, he was found an opportunity by the other party, and was defeated by the trump card and strong combat power erupted by the other party instantly.

Although Ying Wuqiu later won the victory by relying on a large number of first-order supreme talismans for defense and attack, and elixirs to replenish his own spiritual power when facing two seven-element spiritual root geniuses from commoner backgrounds.

But in this way, the first-order supreme talismans and elixirs stored in his storage ring were consumed at a very fast speed.

This consumption speed had already exceeded Ying Wuqiu's expectations.

If this continued, the first-order supreme talismans and elixirs he prepared would not even last until the later stage of the battle.

"It seems that when facing some weaker participants, I still have to fight with all my strength and save some talismans and elixirs."

Thinking of the several fierce battles before, Ying Wuqiu looked at the talismans and elixirs in the storage ring that were already missing about half, and instantly revealed a look of distress.

Besides Ying Wuqiu.

Among the participating players, strong experts like Jun Jun Moyan basically swept all the way.

While maintaining a full winning record, temporarily no other participants had forced out Jun Jun Moyan's true strength.

And below Jun Jun Moyan, those geniuses whose talent reached the seven-element spiritual root level.

Except for Dongxuan City·Li Gexiao, Taiyuan Commandery City·Yue Yue Xiling, Taiyuan Commandery City·Nangong Ji, etc., who had not encountered opponents of the same level for the time being and easily maintained a full winning record.

Others like Stone Village·Shi Huang, Taibai Commandery City·Li Taibai, Liyan Commandery City·Xiao Xiao Yuexian, Taiyuan Commandery City·Zi Dutian, Xueyou Prefecture·Leng Ren, etc., had already successively experienced at least one encounter battle with geniuses of the same level.

Among them were those who experienced a difficult battle and finally maintained a full winning record, and those who were slightly inferior and finally lost and could not maintain a full winning record.

Among them, Shi Huang's record was the worst, facing those geniuses of the same level from immortal second-generation backgrounds, at this time Shi Huang, although he had the power to parry, basically had no possibility of winning.

As for those six-element spiritual root talent holders, the record was even more miserable.

Like Taiyuan Commandery City·Wang Teng, since he lost to Ying Wuqiu, he seemed to have started to have bad luck.

The opponents matched randomly in the early stage were all extremely strong.

Every time, either he lost after experiencing a fierce battle, or he was defeated by the other party instantly.

Until after the tenth round of battles, this situation was slightly better, but basically he lost more and won less.

This made Wang Teng, who had been arrogant since childhood in Taiyuan Commandery City, become somewhat silent, and the pride that was visible to the naked eye on his body was also slowly ground flat in battle after battle.

Proud like Yuanqing Prefecture City·Yuan Yuan Qingcheng, she also suffered setbacks repeatedly in this Qi Refining Realm final competition, and also lost more and won less.

With the experience of battle after battle, Yuan Yuan Qingcheng's pride became much more restrained.

But Yuan Yuan Qingcheng did not give in, becoming braver as she fought in every battle she lost, and the long spear she wielded became more and more fierce.
