When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 135: First place in the competition, well deserved

Two fire phoenixes crashed into the Xuelong Tower.

Qiao Mengqi was shocked.

The self-destruction impact of a fiery phoenix just now made Qiao Mengqi well aware of its power.

This time there are two...

I'm afraid the Xuelong Pagoda won't be able to hold on any longer!
  Qiao Mengqi is also a decisive person.

He knew that the Blood Dragon Tower could not hold on any longer. If the Blood Dragon Tower was broken, it would take at least twenty breaths to use it again. With Li Fan's flying sword and a flaming phoenix, it would not be able to hold on for that long. .

Qiao Mengqi simply stopped thinking about defense.

He gritted his teeth, picked up the sword formula with his left hand, and used the Taoist magic formula with his right hand.

"Two things at once!"

There were discerning disciples in the stands who immediately called out.

This is a very practical unique skill. If you practice it properly, you can perform two Taoist techniques at the same time.

Look at Qiao Mengqi, a tall and thick man, using his ability to do two things at once.

Suddenly, Qiao Mengqi's horse-killing sword radiated golden light, suddenly became fierce, knocked away Li Fan's Qijue Sword, broke through the sword formation with the word "trap", and flew towards Li Fan.

Qiao Mengqi's right hand spell caused a bulging earth dragon to appear on the stage. The earth dragon was attached to the ground and rushed up. It opened its huge mouth of stone and earth and rushed in front of Li Fan to devour him.

The golden horse-killing sword, the charging earth dragon, and the flaming phoenix controlled by Li Fan each collided with the defenses of Li Fan and Qiao Mengqi's earthly magic weapon.

"clang!"

A bell rang.

The disciples who were watching the battle all trembled and were frightened.

The bell of Xuanjin Soul Suppressing Bell rang, making all the disciples present who were below the level of Jindan tremble with fear.

The earth dragon and the golden horse-killing sword fell on the black shadow of the black gold soul-suppressing bell, but they could no longer break through and could not threaten Li Fan. They only rang out a breathtaking bell.

Li Fan was unharmed and was still protected by the black gold soul-suppressing bell.

Qiao Mengqi was not so lucky.

The two fire phoenixes exploded, creating a sea of ​​fire that broke through the Xuelong Tower's defense.

The Xuelong Tower collapsed, and in the light of the fire, Qiao Mengqi released another flying sword and soared into the sky.

However, he was surrounded by flames and was very embarrassed.

In the sky, purple sword shadows all over the sky came, trapping Qiao Mengqi in them. A golden light appeared on Qiao Mengqi's body, which seemed to be the use of a protective weapon.

The third flaming phoenix, which had been waiting for the opportunity in the air, flew towards Qiao Mengqi.

"stop!"

In the elders' stand, several elders shouted together.

Bai Linfeng turned into a white drill and was above the ring in an instant.

Bai Linfeng grabbed Qiao Mengqi's collar at the back of his neck with his right hand, pulled him up, and waved his left hand at the same time.

A white wave rolled around the flaming phoenix.

There was an explosion, and the flaming phoenix exploded, but the heat wave was caught in the white waves and did not escape to cause damage.

Li Fan did not continue to attack, but put away the flying sword and returned to his body, and stopped the mysterious supply of spiritual power. The flames caused by the self-destruction of the Fire Phoenix gradually extinguished, and no new Fire Phoenix was born.

"Qiao Mengqi lost this round." Bai Linfeng said in the air.

When Bai Linfeng said this, he had no special emotions. He just looked at Li Fan for a while with a slightly curious look.

Li Fan nodded slightly into the air.

Bai Linfeng, the great elder, is quite virtuous and respectable, except for the fact that he often has some differences of opinion with the head Gongsun Sihua due to the struggle for status and power.

Bai Linfeng is good at teaching his disciples, and he also handles things fairly in daily life.

He is in charge of the affairs of all internal and external deacons within the sect. After so many years, there have been few major mistakes, which is recognized by the deacons and disciples within the sect.

Now, even though Li Fan defeated Qiao Mengqi, Bai Linfeng was not displeased. He just looked at Li Fan a few more times, probably because he felt that Li Fan's Taoist achievements were extraordinary.

Bai Linfeng pulled Qiao Mengqi down and stood on the ring.

Bai Linfeng did not protect his shortcomings, but nodded slightly to Li Fan and said: "We have all seen your strength in this round, Meng Qi is inferior to you."

"In this round, I admit defeat on behalf of Meng Qi."

"In this sect competition, you are number one, and you deserve it."

When the host heard this, he immediately rang the golden bell.

"Li Fan, win!"

The Wandao Sect disciples who were watching the battle were in a noisy mood.

"The first place in this competition is actually Li Fan?"

"I didn't expect it at all... He has always been very low-key in the sect. I only heard about his reputation as a genius in alchemy. I didn't expect him to be so strong?"

"Hey, have you forgotten? Li Fan also accomplished something in the past two years. He went to the Demonic Disaster Battlefield to obtain the Seven Earthly Evil Techniques and exchanged it for the Broken Universe Jade Ruler fragments from Elder Li. This matter was caused by Senior Brother Lian Jin. Even if you want to do it, you can’t do it.”

"Huh? When you said that, I remembered it."

"Li Fan, he is only in the middle stage of foundation building, right? He has such strength now, what will happen in the later stage of foundation building, or even after forming the golden elixir?"

The disciples on the viewing platform were in an uproar.

No wonder.

Li Fan was relatively low-key in the sect. Unless it was his own business, he rarely stood up for fame.

Disciples, if you want to remember someone, you must have a memory point.

Li Fan's impression is mainly that he is an alchemy genius who only emerges in thousands of years. This image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In other aspects, such as combat power, except for a few close disciples such as Lin Xuxian and Lu Yudan, You know, the rest of the people have no impression.

Such a sect's image suddenly came out on top in the sect's competition, which was very surprising and an upset.

If Li Fan had only entered the top sixteen, everyone would have taken it for granted, but if he entered the top eight, it would have been a bit of an upset.

But no one expected that Li Fan would win the first place.

This is very surprising, and the more surprising it is, the more topical it is.

Li Fan himself stood on the ring, but it didn't matter.

In fact, Li Fan doesn't pay much attention to these false names.

If he hadn't come first in the sect competition and could definitely obtain Xuanwu Fine Gold, Li Fan wouldn't have bothered with this matter.

He just wanted to practice cultivation, hoping that after a breakthrough, he would increase his longevity and lay the foundation for a long life in the future.

For other things, Li Fan's mentality is to let nature take its course and not force anything.

Of course, Li Fan was also very happy to win first place.

"My practice has progressed. I haven't made any breakthroughs in two months. I'm still worried about this."

"Now that I have won the first place in the sect competition, I have obtained the Xuanwu Fine Gold. From now on, I will concentrate on my cultivation and go into seclusion for a long time." Li Fan thought to himself.

In the ring, Qiao Mengqi had not recovered from his emotions at first. He was a little blushing and felt that he had lied before the fight.

But this person is very different from Qi Weigong and others.

It didn't take long for Qiao Mengqi to adjust.

Although he lost, Li Fan's strength was here, and Qiao Mengqi was not ashamed to lose.

Qiao Mengqi held up his hands and said to Li Fan sincerely: "Junior brother Li, in this fight, you are more than a step stronger than me. I am convinced that I lost." "I also feel sorry for the fact that there is a junior brother like you in the sect. It’s a great honor.”

"Today's defeat to Junior Brother Li shows that I am still not strong enough and cannot slack off. I will work harder to improve. If I meet Junior Brother again in the next sect competition, I hope to have a more hearty battle with you."

"As Master said, Junior Brother won the first place, and he is well-deserved. I wish Junior Brother to make further progress, to make elixirs as soon as possible, and to bring glory to our sect."

After speaking, Qiao Mengqi nodded towards Li Fan.

Li Fan was touched after hearing this.

This Senior Brother Qiao is very good.

Compared to the disciples of the fourth elder, he was much stronger.

No matter what, he is a very generous and decent person to say something like this at this time.

Li Fan felt good about him and raised his hand to Qiao Mengqi, saying: "Senior brother, I accept."

"Senior brother's demeanor makes me heartbroken. I will go out with you more and make friends in the future."

"Hahaha, easy to say!" Qiao Mengqi said with a laugh, sweeping away the haze of failure.

Li Fan nodded slightly. There would be no harm in making friends with such an open-minded person.

...

Li Fan and Qiao Mengqi have already decided on the first and second place in this competition.

Later, there was a challenge from the defeated team.

The disciples who had lost the previous battles competed with each other to determine the ranking.

On the scene, seven arenas in the martial arts arena were opened at the same time, instead of only the main arena being opened before.

Fighting is actually quite dangerous, and the process is quite fast.

It's rare to see a stalemate in a fight. Whether it's a real fight or in the ring, the winner can be decided in just a few breaths.

In less than half a day, the rankings of the direct disciples in the sect competition were decided.

Li Fan deserves to be ranked first.

Qiao Mengqinai was second.

Zhao Xu and Zuo Junhui competed, and Zhao Xu narrowly won one move and ranked third.

The top three positions in the sect competition are determined.

Zuo Junhui was fourth and Qi Weigong was seventh.

Luo Caicai was particularly lucky and ranked eighth. Lu Yudan was a bit unlucky and ranked thirteenth. Lin Xuxian was the only one among the top sixteen to enter the early stage of foundation building. He ranked sixteenth, but it was an honor to lose.

In this way, the rankings of people who are related to and acquainted with Li Fan are determined.

After the rankings of the personal disciples' sect competition have been settled, today's competition will be over for the time being.

The leader, Gongsun Sihua, asked all disciples to go to the square in front of Tianyuan Peak's meeting hall.

The inner and outer sects and direct disciples of the martial arts arena should go to the square in front of the meeting hall together.

Today, the direct disciples are competing in the ring, and all the inner and outer disciples are watching the battle around the martial arts stage.

For them, this is to increase their knowledge and set an example.

Within the sect, disciples from the outer sect and inner sect are encouraged to find their own role models in the sect to inspire their disciples.

For example, Li Fan won the championship this time. Invisibly, Hu Feng and Leng Yueyun became more popular among the inner disciples.

Among the ten thousand sects, the news is quite smooth. The news that Leng Yueyun and Hu Feng are close to Senior Brother Li is not a secret among the inner and outer sect disciples.

Hu Feng had already escaped from the status of a marginal inner disciple before, but all the inner disciples began to become outstanding.

This time Li Fan won the championship, many people were more optimistic about Li Fan's future, and Hu Feng's status in the hearts of others also increased.

As for Leng Yueyun, because of Qi Weigong's suppression, few people got close to her before, but now that Li Fan has won the championship and steadily suppressed Qi Weigong in the ring, he is like a new star among the direct disciples of the sect.

Leng Yueyun received intangible benefits from this. Some of the female disciples who had previously kept a distance from Leng Yueyun began to have new ideas and became much more enthusiastic towards Leng Yueyun.

Leng Yueyun still looked cold, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Senior Brother Li won the first place in the sect competition. Although I had confidence in Senior Brother Li before, it still exceeded my expectations. But now it seems... I seem to be in a much better situation than before. At least I don't have to worry about being suppressed all the time. Sect." Leng Yueyun thought so.

Correspondingly, although Li Fan did not take special care of Leng Yueyun, Leng Yueyun still felt more grateful to Li Fan.

With different thoughts, the disciples of Wandao Sect walked from the martial arts field to the square in front of the meeting hall with their swords.

One or two thousand people were wielding swords at the same time. The scene was extremely spectacular, with layers upon layers covering the sky and the sun, as if heavenly soldiers and generals were setting off for battle.

Among the Ten Thousand Dao Sects, all the disciples returned to the square in front of the Tianyuan Peak Assembly Hall. According to the previous instructions, the disciples of the personal disciples, the inner sect, and the outer sect were clearly visible, standing in different square formations.

Before all the disciples, three treasures had been prepared and placed on the sandalwood platform.

The leader, Gongsun Sihua, walked out and said in front of his disciples: "Our sect holds a sect competition every ten years. The purpose is to urge our disciples not to relax."

"The tenet of Wandao Sect has always been that those who are capable will go up, those who are incompetent will go down, those who are diligent will go up, and those who are lazy will go down."

"Among them, the direct disciples set an example for all the disciples of the sect."

"Today, among the direct disciples of the sect, the top three have been determined. On behalf of the sect, I will not hesitate to encourage them."

"The top three sects can choose one of these three treasures."

"The first three rewards are the 'Shenhua Pill' that enhances spiritual awareness, the earthly magic weapon 'Qingshuang Xiao', and the natural and earthly treasure 'Xuanwu Fine Gold'."

"In this personal transmission, the top three disciples will select magical weapons in order of ranking."

After Gongsun Sihua finished speaking, he looked at Li Fan.

"Li Fan, you are the number one direct disciple in this competition. You come first to choose."

Li Fan nodded.

He walked out of the row of direct disciples and looked back.

The eyes of one or two thousand people were focused on Li Fan.

This feeling of focus makes people feel that they have become the protagonist of everyone's attention.
  Actually, it's true.

Li Fan took a deep breath.

He knew that the sect made such an array to give honor to the winners of the competition, and at the same time to encourage the disciples behind them to strive to be the first in practice and not to fall behind others.

Li Fan also deserves such attention.

He walked to the sandalwood stage.

"Li Fan, what reward do you choose?" In front of the wooden platform, Jin Daosheng asked.

"I choose Xuanwu Fine Gold." Li Fan said.

He was still a little excited.

Xuanwu fine gold, after Li Fan gets this object, he can seal the second floor of Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra.

After the second layer of the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra is sealed, the third layer is built, which means that the middle stage of foundation building is complete.

The distance between these two levels is very close, and Li Fan is ready to break through in one breath.

After sealing the gate with Taiyi Divine Water on the third floor, and building the fourth floor of the Jade Palace, we have reached the late stage of foundation building.

Li Fan took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

Daosheng Jin picked up the basalt gold on the sandalwood platform and handed it to Li Fan.
