After I basked in the sun, I felt amazing

Chapter 139: Accepting yourself as your apprentice is too much
Fang Hao used the [Ability Elimination] ability to temporarily eliminate most of the second clone's abilities.

In the end, only [Physical Strengthening], [Spiritual Strengthening] and [Immortal Body] were retained.

[Physical Strengthening] After surpassing S level, he became [Man of Steel].

[Spiritual Strengthening] After reaching S level, it became [Immortal Will].

[Steel Body] describes the body as strong and strong as steel, but it does not mean that the body has actually turned into steel.

[Immortal Will] also means that the spirit is immortal and the will will last forever, and will not be affected by mental debuffs such as charm, hallucination, and confusion.

When he was ready, he let the second clone replace the main body to participate in the global finals.

The extraordinary Taoism of this planet has developed many different branches under the influence of different cultural backgrounds and different myths and legends.

Among them, Zhenwu Taoism is the easiest to get started and improve, so it is the most popular.

Because practicing Zhenwu only needs to focus on two things, one is to strengthen the body, and the other is to visualize the spirit.

Starting from the two most fundamental basic attributes, we can continue to make breakthroughs.

More importantly, it can be seamlessly integrated with almost all Taoist traditions.

Yanxia is dominated by Zhenwu Taoism, but there are also Taoist priests and monks who draw from traditional religion and culture, but they need special inheritance.

These two traditions do not follow the academic path, and their descendants generally do not appear in the youth competition.

But this year's situation is a bit special because there is a global finals.

The intention of the Queen and the Parliament is to bring out any orthodoxy to open the eyes of the world.

So the Taoist priests came down the mountain and the monks came out of the temple, each sending 10 young successors.

Participate in the global finals held in the capital of the Western Hemisphere with the 150 teenagers (100 practitioners and 50 extraordinary people) in this year's national finals.

This is basically the case in other regions.

For a time, young people wearing various distinctive costumes gathered in the capital of the Western Hemisphere.

The more obvious Western features include Western fighters wearing plate armor and carrying large axes or swords, wizards wearing black robes and pointed hats, and magical priests wearing black or red robes.

In the East, there are Taoist priests in yellow robes, monks in green monk robes, onmyojis in black and white broad robes, and ninjas in black tights.

There are also yoga warriors playing golden rooster independently on the roadside with their hands together, and druids covered with tattoos and wearing green leaf cloaks.

All kinds of Taoist heirs that were not common in the past, or that are not common in China, all appeared in this finals.

After practice, many things that were imagined in the past, such as Taoist spells, became real and effective with the blessing of spirit and extraordinary particles.

Of course, it’s not all fantasy.

After opening this road, it also requires a bit of luck to determine what fruits will be produced on the road.

Generally speaking, most abilities related to "paranormal powers" can become a reality.

For example, the Thunder Control Talisman can indeed allow Taoist priests to attract thunder, and the Five Elements spell can also take effect - but the effect is quite different from that of similar powers.

Most of these traditions are not as simple and direct as the Zhenwu Dao tradition, but they possess all kinds of weird methods that are close to supernatural powers.

In addition, those sent to compete are all elites, and they themselves can also train in Zhenwu.

Therefore, although the advantages of the heirs of these special Taoist traditions over pure true martial arts practitioners are not as great as those of extraordinary ones, they do have certain advantages.

Generally speaking, the combat power is extraordinary person > special Taoist cultivator > true martial arts cultivator.

But this is just panel data.

The Zhenwu practitioners participating in the competition this time are also elites selected from millions of peers.

At the fourth level of Zhenwu, the disadvantages of Zhenwu cultivators compared to special cultivators have been almost eliminated.

Fang Hao's first opponent was a yoga warrior.

The characteristic of yoga warriors is that their bodies are extremely soft, they can twist their bodies in various weird ways to relieve stress and avoid damage, and they are also extremely explosive.

If you are a real martial arts practitioner who is not smart enough and not good at adapting, even if your physical strength is stronger than that of a yoga warrior, you will be fooled around.

Unfortunately, this yoga warrior encountered Fang Hao. After a few simple adaptations, he forced the yoga warrior to throw up his hands and admit defeat.

The advantage of a soft body is that it is good at discharging force and avoiding injuries, but its weakness is that it is not suitable for head-on confrontation.

If your opponent has the ability to force you into a head-on confrontation, no matter how hard you try to dodge, it means that your opponent's strength is far superior to yours.

After the yoga warrior admitted defeat, out of respect for the strong, he clasped his hands and said to Fang Hao in Yanxia language, "I'm willing to accept the defeat."

Fang Hao returned the fist salute, turned around and got off the ring.

The second opponent is a tall and handsome Western fighter with blond hair and blue eyes. He is wearing a handsome silver armor from the fantasy series in the game, and his weapon is a two-handed sword.

Can I still wear armor during competition?
Of course not.

Even though the Western fighter repeatedly emphasized to the referee that what he was wearing was just a set of decorative armor, purely for showmanship, and had no protective capabilities in a battle of this level.

The referee who still looked like a middle-aged man ordered him to take off his clothes before playing again.

"(Oh my god, when we compete there, we all wear handsome armor!)"

"(This is the global finals. Didn't you read the rules?)"

"(I saw it! No one is allowed to wear it!)"

The referee didn't bother him at all. He directly put the whistle on his chest into his mouth and raised his right hand.

That is the action that declares victory or defeat.

"(Wait! I'll take it off! I'll just take it off!)"

The Western fighter was instantly frightened and quickly began to disarm.

But he couldn't untie such armor alone, and he didn't want to ruin it just like that.

After all, it's not cheap. He saved his pocket money for a long time.

"Brother, do me a favor and untie the belt at the back for me!"

The blond fighter turned to look at Fang Hao on the ring, waved and smiled.

Fang Hao has gained some experience.

But everyone asked for help, so he got off the ring and went to help untie the straps on the back of the armor.

The referee looked on speechlessly and did not help.

Fang Hao was also speechless.

It's more important for you guys to be cool, right?
No wonder the Western fighters I saw all wore bright plate armor.

Even when Ai Xiaoya came to see him last night, she was wearing a woman's fantasy golden armor.

Really handsome.

It's a pity that the rules of the competition do not allow you to show off like this.

The blond fighter quickly took off all his armor parts, placed them next to the ring, and bowed to Fang Hao to thank him.

"Thank you!"

He raised his head and looked at Fang Hao's face, suddenly feeling familiar.

But because he was a little face-blind, Easterners couldn't see any difference in his eyes, so he didn't recognize Fang Hao.

The two got on the ring and exchanged courtesy.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle and the contest begins.

The fighter was quickly defeated, and Fang Hao almost knocked his sword out of his hand.

After the fight, he recognized the person in front of him through the familiar sword skills.

He was convinced that he could lose to the number one player in Yanxia.

After the battle, Fang Hao got off the ring directly. He wanted to catch up and chat a few words and make friends, but because his armor was still there, he had to go get it first.

"Classmate Fang Hao! My name is JOJO. I'll treat you to dinner later!"

Fang Hao didn't reply to him, which made him a little disappointed.

In the ensuing battle, Fang Hao saw all kinds of weird Taoist traditions, and many of the Taoist secret techniques already had supernatural powers and effects.

In this case, why not popularize these special traditions to all mankind?
Because the vast majority of people do not have the ability and talent to master these traditions.

Only Zhenwu Taoism, which is easy to get started and not difficult to improve, has the conditions for most people to master it.

Following the completion of the Extraordinary Engine, the Global Finals has become a grand event of common concern to all mankind.

With a variety of eye-catching Taoist traditions and supporting secret techniques, the program's effects are first-rate. Those contestants with distinctive characteristics, handsomeness, or beauty and enchantment have quickly become the best in the world.

In comparison, Fang Hao is not very eye-catching.

It's not that he's not handsome enough, or that he's not strong enough, it's just that his characteristics are not distinctive enough.

What are his characteristics?

He is strong.

But no one knows where exactly it is strong.

He was wearing the white training clothes uniformly worn by Yanxia Zhenwu practitioners, which was not unique enough.

He is very handsome, but there is no shortage of handsome guys in this junior competition. You can find any style you want.

He is very powerful and can easily defeat his opponents in every battle - but this also makes his matches unspectacular.

If there is no interest, there will be no discussion. If there is no discussion, there will be no popularity. Without popularity, how can the popularity increase?
In comparison, Fang Mengqi's popularity and discussion are much higher.

First of all, there are more men than women among the contestants. There are more than 200 contestants, and there are more than 800 boys, which is more than twice as many as girls.

Secondly, Fang Mengqi's competition was found to be very useful during the provincial competition last year. This year she won the first place in the country, so naturally more people are paying attention to her.Fang Hao was indeed stronger than her, but too much. He easily defeated his opponent in all competitions.

The threshold for his battle videos is too high. Even if an expert analyzes it, ordinary people can't understand it, let alone learn it.

But Fang Mengqi’s battle videos can be learned and imitated by others.

Because she needs to fight for a while in every battle first, familiarize and analyze the opponent's methods, and patiently look for the opponent's mistakes and flaws, and finally defeat the opponent.

Her playing style and coping methods are more reference for others.

Therefore, many people will rush to analyze each of her battle videos and make them into videos to share.

As many people watched, she was given the nickname "Big Sister".

As Fang Hao's number one disciple, it seems reasonable for her to be called that by her fellow students.

This time she faced not only Zhenwu practitioners, but also various special sects. She was also a little confused and made many mistakes.

For example, after encountering an onmyoji with strange methods, she did not understand this special orthodoxy, and was confused by the illusion and curse restrictions that reversed yin and yang.

But after calming down and sensing carefully, she concentrated her mind and broke the illusion of her opponent's onmyoji with one blow.

Fang Hao has also met an onmyoji, and out of curiosity has seen the illusion of reversing yin and yang.

But his sword not only broke the illusion, but also almost broke the opponent's onmyoji, scaring the opponent, the referee and the audience into a cold sweat.

One is to break the illusion with one stroke.

One is to kill someone with one knife.

It can be seen that his strength is at least one level higher than Fang Mengqi.

After all, he brought Fang Mengqi out, so it's not surprising.

During this continuous round of battles and eliminations, the points of each contestant are constantly changing.

Each player starts with 10 points, +3 points for a win and -1 point for a loss.

Everyone has to keep fighting. Unless you are injured or your points are cleared, it will be one game after another. There is no upper limit on the number of games, and you will fight until you can't take it anymore.

If this comparison continues, the points of the truly strong will be higher and higher.

Mid-level players can also continue to gain points and climb the rankings among randomly selected opponents.

Because the probability of a mid-level player's opponent being stronger or weaker than him is not much different, but if he wins a game he gets +3 points and if he loses a game he only loses -1 point. The points will definitely keep rising.

Players in the lower stage will either have their points remain unchanged or have a slight increase or decrease, or they will have their points cleared and be completely eliminated after losing more than a dozen games.

Because Fang Hao won every game quickly, he also had the most games scheduled.

In just one morning, his points skyrocketed to over 60 points, a long way ahead of No. 2 who only had over [-] points.

He has defeated more than 30 opponents, and No. 2 only defeated No. 20.

Some people questioned that he relied on the number of games to gain points.

So someone asked: Why don't you brush it?Don't you want to?

Being able to perform unparalleled in an event like the Global Finals is a skill in itself.

Opponents are randomly selected and changed after the fight. There is no chance to bribe the opponent to cheat.

In other words, Fang Hao was the one who won by cutting down all the opponents he didn't know in the ring one after another.

He is already so strong that he can perform unparalleled feats in an instant. The only thing that limits his points growth is time.

Given enough time, he could take a turn with [-] contestants from all over the world.

This is an opponent that makes all players who are interested in winning first place and becoming Xi Emperor's disciples feel desperate.

This strength is too terrifying.

How come there are still people who can play unparalleled in this kind of event?
Isn't it destined that he will take away the only spot as Emperor Xi's disciple?
Someone soon found out that Fang Hao had the [teleportation] power, which was a matter of extraordinary beings.

In the previous national finals, Qin Keyan revealed that Fang Hao also had the power of [teleportation], letting the audience across the country know that he was a transcendent.

But because he has never used his [Teleportation] power in a game, he always chopped down his opponents with a knife, so the fact that he is a transcendent does not hinder the judgment and recognition of his true martial prowess.

Therefore, it did not cause any public controversy at the time.

Things are a little different now.

When it came to Emperor Xi's only disciple position, all forces began to operate, secretly exerting force to kick him off the track of extraordinary beings.

No one can compete with him on this track of cultivators. Send him to another track so that the people on this track can have a chance.

Because of the special nature of extraordinary beings and the foreseeable popularity of extraordinary potions in the future, everyone agrees that only practitioners can become disciples of Emperor Xi.

The strength displayed by cultivators is the real "hard" strength that does not take the road of trickery.

After taking the extraordinary potion in the future, the strength will definitely be stronger than other extraordinary beings.

Moreover, the vast majority of people in this world do not have extraordinary powers, and public opinion is definitely on the side of the practitioners.

Therefore, with the secret efforts of all parties, the question of whether Fang Hao should continue to compete on the cultivator's track quickly set off a huge wave of discussion on the Internet, in the competition committee, and even in the parliament.

In just one afternoon, Fang Hao used another method, an over-the-top method, to explosively increase his popularity and become globally famous.

Everyone knows that he is very strong and can perform unparalleledly in events like the global finals.

But does such a strong person still need to worship Emperor Xi as his disciple?
Public opinion was torn into two opposing factions.

One group supports him, so what if he is a transcendent? He has never used any powers at all, and his current achievements are all achieved by cutting them off with one knife. What is there to question?
How many cultivators of the same realm could those extraordinary beings defeat without using superpowers?
The other group believes that he is too strong, too strong, and so strong that he is no longer representative.

It is entirely possible for him to become the second Overlord.

Does the Overlord need to be the disciple of the Xi Emperor?

He does not need it.

In the same way, Fang Hao doesn't need it either.

He was already a "Grand Master" at such a young age, and was recognized as his younger brother by Emperor Ming. He was fully capable of blazing a broad road on his own.

Even if he doesn't take Emperor Xi as his disciple, he will be able to become the world's top peerless strongman in the future, a strongman at the level of the Overlord.

In this case, why bother to grab this extremely precious opportunity for other contestants?
The same disagreements also appeared in the competition committee and parliament.

It's not that extraordinary people can't participate in cultivators' competitions. As long as they don't use supernatural powers, you can do whatever you want.

It’s just that the extraordinary contests are more flashy and the events are more exciting.

As a result, there are more viewers, more sponsors, and more generous rewards, so extraordinary people generally do not downgrade to participate.

It is definitely inappropriate to use this reason to kick Fang Hao into the track of extraordinary people.

But the polarizing public opinion has changed the nature of this matter.

In the end, Emperor Xi stepped forward to calm the public opinion storm.

"I'll add another spot. Fang Hao, stop competing and come see me directly."

When he said this, he almost couldn't help laughing.

Accepting yourself as your apprentice is too much.

The public opinion that divided the opposition quickly subsided, and all parties were happy.

All the forces working secretly also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the effort was not in vain.

Although Fang Hao was not driven to another track, Xi Huang was alarmed.

Fang Hao worshiped Emperor Xi as his disciple, no one would question it.

The core of the conflict in public opinion was that he could become a peerless expert at the level of Overlord without being a disciple of Emperor Xi, but he came to snatch this spot as a disciple.

Now that Emperor Xi has taken out an extra spot, the other players will naturally feel at ease.

They need this opportunity, and now that this opportunity is still available, there will naturally be no more controversy.

Next, it’s all up to you.

Fang Hao will no longer compete, will not steal their opportunities, and will not steal their limelight.

That night, Fang Hao took Fang Mengqi into Emperor Xi's residence, a small palace.

Seeing that he had brought an extra person, the staff of Xihuang Palace hurriedly asked Xihuang himself.

"It's okay, just bring everyone in."

Not long after, a news that shocked the world came from the Xi Palace - Fang Hao gave up his apprenticeship spot to his sister Fang Mengqi!
After the previous turmoil of public opinion, although people are shocked when something like this happens again, they don't think it is anything.

Because whether Fang Hao takes Emperor Xi as his disciple or not does not affect his future achievements, he is guaranteed to be another Overlord.

So what does it matter if he gave up the apprenticeship spot to his sister?

As a result, Fang Mengqi truly became the "senior sister" among all her peers.

First, Fang Hao guided him to win the first place in the country, and then Xihuang became famous all over the world as his teacher.

This woman went from a country girl to the top of the world in just one year!
But she didn't stop playing.

Because she has not forgotten the purpose of this competition - to see how far she can go!

Fang Hao has abandoned the game midway, but no one dares to question his strength.

It would be good for all the players if he gave up the game.

When he is here, a shadow will be cast on the hearts of all players.
