Chapter 20 Quarterfinals
The third round of competition ended with Qi Hao unconscious and Zhang Ruofeng victorious.

Today's battle has completely established Zhang Ruofeng's position in the Qingyun Sect.

Among the younger generation of disciples, apart from Nagato Xiao Yicai, who won the championship last year, Qi Hao is almost the strongest in terms of cultivation.

Others who have shown their talents in the competition in the past few days, such as Xiaozhufeng Lu Xueqi and Fenghuifeng Zeng Shushu, have only emerged in the past few decades. Although they are also popular candidates to win the championship in this Seven Meridians Competition, if Against Qi Hao, a veteran master who has been practicing for hundreds of years, it is still unknown whether he can win.

But now, Zhang Ruofeng defeated Qi Hao in the third round, already proving his strength.

For a time, the disciples watching the battle were talking about it and running around telling each other.

Especially the disciples from the Nagato lineage were even more excited.

As soon as Zhang Ruofeng got off the stage, he was surrounded by a large group of senior brothers and sisters from Changmen.

"Well done, little junior brother!"

"Junior brother, you are so powerful, even Qi Hao was defeated by you!"

"After today's battle, my junior brother will definitely be listed as the favorite to win this championship!"

"What a popular candidate? I think the champion of this martial arts competition is none other than Junior Brother. Even Qi Hao has been defeated. Who else can be Junior Brother's opponent?"

"Senior Brother Sixth is right, the champion this time must be from our Tongtian Peak..."

Zhang Ruofeng smiled and responded one by one, and did not refuse the congratulations and overtures of these senior brothers and sisters.

In this Seven Meridians Competition, four of Nagato's ten disciples, including him, have now entered the top sixteen. In addition, he defeated Qi Hao in this battle and has already entered the top eight. It is indeed a happy event.

After everyone's voices became slightly quieter, Zhang Ruofeng said: "Brothers and sisters, the other three senior brothers should still be competing at this moment, let's go over and have a look."

A good-looking senior sister said: "Yes, junior brother, your side ended faster, but senior brother and the others should still be competing. I just saw the master and several elders going to the 'Zhen' table." , I should have gone to watch the competition between senior brothers."

Zhang Ruofeng nodded slightly: "Then let's go and watch Senior Brother's competition. By the way, who is Senior Brother's opponent today?"

"This is Song Daren, the first disciple of Uncle Dazhu Fengtian. This person is the same as his senior brother. Although he is only at the fifth level of Yuqing, he started earlier and has been practicing for many years. He has a strong foundation. The magic weapon is a fairy sword with earth attributes, named ' The Ten Tigers have extremely strong defense and should be a formidable enemy to Senior Brother, but I'm afraid it won't end so early."

Song Daren?

Zhang Ruofeng's eyes moved slightly, thinking of Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan also successfully advanced to the third round. There is also a competition today, but if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to advance smoothly.

With his fourth level of Yuqing, he also practiced the 'Great Brahma Prajna' of Tianyin Temple, and coupled with that 'Soul-Eating Magic Rod', if he exploded with all his strength, the power would only be greater than the four great gods of Qingyun Sect. Above the soldiers, ordinary Yuqing level 5 or 6 people would never be his opponent.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruofeng gave up the idea of ​​watching Xiaofan compete. Besides, Lin Jingyu was also watching there today, so he should be fine.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and then prepared to walk to the "Zhen" table.

But at this time, there was a sudden noise from the 'kan' platform in the distance.

Zhang Ruofeng paused and looked over with a frown. Xiaofan seemed to be competing on the 'Hang' table today.

After a while, Lin Jingyu was seen running over in a hurry. Seeing that Zhang Ruofeng had stepped down, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Ruofeng, you... are you done competing?"

He naturally knew who Zhang Ruofeng's opponent was today, and originally wanted to come here to watch. However, due to the dispute between Zhang Ruofeng and Qi Hao, he had been vaguely isolated by the senior brothers at Longshou Peak in the past few days. It was awkward to meet him here, so he simply I went to cheer up Zhang Xiaofan. It happened that there weren't many people watching from Zhang Xiaofan's side today, because Xiaofan's masters and brothers all went to watch the competition between Song Daren and Tian Linger.

But I didn't expect that Zhang Ruofeng's side would end so quickly.

Zhang Ruofeng naturally knew what Lin Jingyu was thinking, and nodded with a smile: "The competition is over, I won by luck."

"What? You defeated Senior Brother Qi?!"

Lin Jingyu was startled, his face full of disbelief.

Zhang Ruofeng didn't elaborate. He nodded, looked at the 'kan' desk, frowned and asked, "What's going on over there? Did Xiaofan win?"

Lin Jingyu came back to his senses, a hint of complexity flashed through his eyes at first, and then he showed an anxious look, saying: "Xiao Fan won, but he was injured and fainted, and his master had already taken him away."

"what?!"

Zhang Ruofeng's face changed slightly, and he didn't have time to watch Chang Jian compete, so he quickly asked: "What's going on?"

Lin Jingyu sighed: "Xiaofan's opponent today is Peng Chang from Fenghui Peak. He has reached the fifth level of Yuqing. He is good at fire attribute magic, and the magic weapon is a 'Wu Hook' cast from thousand-year-old fire bronze." 'Xianjian, I originally thought Xiaofan was going to lose, but I didn't expect..."

"In the end, Senior Brother Peng from Feng Huifeng fainted. Although Xiao Fan won, his body was burned by the flames. Coupled with the excessive consumption, he also fainted. Then his master and his wife rushed over and took him back for treatment. "

After Lin Jingyu finished speaking, Zhang Ruofeng breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay.

Moreover, just like the original work, Xiaofan also began to show a side that surprised even himself.

After today, I am afraid that no one will dare to underestimate this Dazhu Peak disciple who made the leaders of all the sects dislike him in Yuqing Palace five years ago.

Zhang Ruofeng sighed in his heart.

At this time, Lin Jingyu seemed to have thought of this, and said with a complex expression: "I thought that Ruofeng, although your qualifications were high, but in the past five years, you were probably only around the sixth level of Yuqing, but I didn't expect that you would be able to reach the sixth level of Yuqing at most." Senior Brother Qi lost to you, so he must have cultivated to at least the eighth level."

"Moreover, even Xiaofan..."

Speaking of this, Lin Jingyu suddenly felt a little lonely.

The three brothers went up the mountain together. He thought that apart from Ruofeng, his qualifications were the best.

But he didn't expect that in the end, the worst person would be himself.

Needless to say, Ruofeng, who defeated Senior Brother Qi in today's battle, must be the favorite to win the Seven Meridians Competition. Maybe he will actually win the championship in the end and become famous in Qingyun Sect.

Even Xiaofan has advanced to the third round and successfully entered the quarterfinals.

But he was eliminated in only the second round...

With such a gap, how could he not think more about it.

Zhang Ruofeng could also understand the gap in his heart, but he just patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more.

Although only sixteen people participated in this third round, and they competed in eight arenas at the same time, it still lasted until the evening before the winner was completely determined and the top eight were decided.

And the final result was far beyond everyone's expectations.

Among the top eight, Nagato's lineage occupied three positions.

Needless to say, Zhang Ruofeng's battle with Qi Hao was skillful and brilliant. It is said that in the end, he defeated Qi Hao without even unsheathing the magical sword, which made him famous for a while.

This battle alone proved that his reputation as a genius was not in vain, and he became the disciple most likely to win the championship in this Seven Meridians Competition.

As for Chang Jian, Nagato's top disciple, although he has ordinary qualifications, has been practicing for hundreds of years, has a solid foundation, and his strength cannot be underestimated, his opponent is Song Daren, the first disciple of Dazhu Peak who also has a profound foundation.

In the final result, although Chang Jian was slightly better and advanced smoothly, it was said that he was also injured, which might affect tomorrow's fourth round.

As for the last one, named Li Xi'er, she has been practicing at the sixth level of Yuqing for nearly a hundred years. She has a deep foundation and is very likely to advance to the next round.

Xiaozhufeng occupies two of the remaining five positions, namely Xiaozhufeng's eldest disciple Wen Min and Lu Xueqi, who has attracted much attention these days.

Wen Min has been practicing for more than a century. Like Li Xi'er, he is at the sixth level of Yuqing. It is not surprising that he can reach this point by working steadily. On the other hand, it was Lu Xueqi. In the previous two games, she had dealt with her opponents cleanly. However, in today's battle with Tian Linger, the winner was not decided for a long time. It took a full two hours to shoot down Tian Linger. In the audience, it was really hard to understand.

In addition, Zhang Ruofeng from Nagato stole the show today. In contrast, Lu Xueqi's evaluation instantly dropped by a few points, and her chances of winning the championship became much smaller.

The last three people came from Longshou Peak, Fenghui Peak and Dazhu Peak respectively.

The one who advanced to Feng Huifeng was Zeng Shushu, the only son of the first Zeng Shuchang. Although this son had a stubborn and naughty personality, which gave Zeng Shuchang a headache, his qualifications were beyond words. He had already reached the seventh level of Yuqing, and he was also the favorite in this competition. one.

But the Dazhu Peak lineage was a little unexpected this time.

The strongest disciple Song Daren and the extremely talented Tian Linger were both defeated one after another. On the contrary, Zhang Xiaofan, the junior disciple who was the least qualified and whose qualifications were said to be only average, could even be said to be dull, successfully advanced.

After all, five years ago, the leaders of each lineage in Yuqing Palace were unwilling to accept Zhang Xiaofan, and the disciples of all lines had heard about it.

The results today are really beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhang Xiaofan can be said to be the biggest dark horse in this martial arts competition, but everyone is not sure how far he can go.

As for the one who advanced to Longshou Peak...it's okay not to mention it.

However, the two most promising disciples of Longshou Peak, Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, both lost, but one of them still advanced to the top eight, which shows the level of the disciples of Longshou Peak.

If it weren't for bad luck, Longshou Peak would definitely be the final winner in this Seven Meridians Competition.

Unfortunately, due to bad luck, the two most promising disciples were defeated one after another at the hands of Nagato Zhang Ruofeng.

As for Chaoyang Peak and Luoxia Peak, neither one advanced to the top eight.

It is said that Shang Zhengliang, the leader of Luoxia Peak, and Tianyun Dao, the leader of Chaoyang Peak, had terrible dark faces. They just finished the competition today and left with their swords. They didn't want to stay here anymore to watch the disciples from other peaks show off.

Until late at night, many disciples were still too excited to sleep, lying on the bed and discussing quietly, looking forward to the fourth round of competition tomorrow.

At the same time, Nagato's ten disciples who participated in the martial arts competition all gathered in the Yuqing Hall, and the atmosphere was a bit gloomy.

"Master, is Senior Brother really injured so seriously that he can't even participate in tomorrow's competition?"

Zhang Ruofeng frowned and looked at the pale elder brother Chang Jian next to him, and asked Master Daoxuan.

In today's battle, Senior Brother fought with Song Daren for nearly an hour. Fortunately, he defeated Song Daren with one move and won the game, but in the end he was also injured.

He originally thought that with his master's strength, it would not be difficult to cure his senior brother.

Unexpectedly, not long after dinner, the master summoned them and said that the eldest brother was too injured to participate in tomorrow's competition.

"Yes, isn't it possible that with Master's cultivation, he can't heal senior brother's injuries?"

"Elder brother has advanced to the top eight. Tomorrow's opponent is Zhang Xiaofan from Dazhu Peak. Although Zhang Xiaofan is a bit weird, his qualifications are ordinary. He has only been in the industry for five years. No matter how powerful he is, he is still not that good. With the cultivation of the elder brother, You can definitely win easily, is it possible that you have to give up your spot to him like this?"

"Yes, Master, can't you think of a way?"

The other senior brothers and sisters also prayed to Master Daoxuan, feeling unwilling for the senior brother.

Master Daoxuan sighed slightly and said: "Song Daren from Dazhu Peak has a deep foundation. He and your senior brother are already close to each other. In today's competition, both of them tried their best, but the essence was too damaged, and even the meridians were injured." Acupoints, although my master has healed his injuries, it is not advisable to compete again in a short period of time, otherwise it will easily damage the Tao foundation."

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in disappointment.

Chang Jian's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly cheered up, forced a smile, and said: "Thank you for your concern, brothers and sisters, but what the master said makes sense. Compared with the competition, future practice is naturally more important, I guess. You don’t want to see me unable to practice in the future, right?”

"Yes, senior brother." When everyone heard this, they could only sigh.

Zhang Ruofeng could only sigh in his heart, it seemed that this was really God's will.

Although Xiaofan is not weak at the moment, it is definitely not that easy to defeat his senior brother easily.

If the senior brother is not injured and insists on competing tomorrow, it is hard to say what the final outcome will be. After all, Xiaofan was already injured today in the competition with Feng Huifeng's Peng Chang.

Even if he wins in the end, he won't win easily, and his injuries may worsen. Naturally, there won't be another fifth round of competition with Lu Xueqi, and his 'Blood Refining' magic weapon won't be exposed. .

'Is this the self-repair of the plot...' Zhang Ruofeng thought to himself.

At this time, Master Daoxuan said calmly: "Okay, let's decide this matter. Tomorrow, Rijian will give up the competition. In this way, the only two people from our Nagato lineage who will enter the first three rounds this time are Ruofeng and Xi'er. .”

With that said, Master Daoxuan looked at Zhang Ruofeng and Li Xi'er and said sternly: "You must not be careless in tomorrow's competition, especially Xi'er. Your opponent tomorrow is Zeng Shushu, your uncle Zeng's beloved son. This son is extremely talented. Now that he has reached the seventh level of Yuqing, your master Zeng has trained him vigorously, so he must have many fighting skills."

"Tomorrow in the arena, if you are really not sure, then take the initiative to admit defeat. Don't be brave and follow in the footsteps of your senior brother."

"Yes, Master." Li Xi'er whispered.

Master Daoxuan nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Ruofeng, and said: "Ruofeng, your opponent tomorrow is Wen Min from Xiaozhu Peak. Although this woman also has the true inheritance of your Uncle Shuiyue, with your strength, if you want to win and It’s not difficult, you just have to control the speed to avoid causing any more casualties.”

"Yes, disciple understands." Zhang Ruofeng clasped his hands and said.

Master Daoxuan nodded, then waved his hand: "Well, you go ahead."

Everyone bowed again and left Yuqing Hall one after another.

At this time, Master Daoxuan looked at the disciple's leaving figure, with a look of relief and emotion on his face.

Regarding Zhang Ruofeng's competition with Qi Hao today, he never said anything.

If you win, you win. If you win in an upright manner, Junior Brother Cangsong will not do anything stupid even if he has some ideas.

If you really dare to do this, do you really think that the leader is dead?

It actually made Chang Jian give up on the competition. He actually had some unfinished words just now.

First of all, Chang Jian's situation is indeed not suitable for continuing the fight.

Moreover, now three of the Nagato lineage have entered the quarterfinals. With Ruofeng's strength, there is a great chance of winning the championship. In this way, the Nagato lineage will win the championship of the Seventh Lineage Competition twice in a row.

Sometimes, being too popular is not necessarily a good thing. It can easily cause harmony in the sect and affect the mood of other disciples.

Especially this time, neither Luoxia Peak nor Chaoyang Peak has a disciple who has entered the top eight.

Therefore, just giving up a spot in the top four is fine.

This is the truest thought of Master Daoxuan.

For this Qingyun foundation, Master Daoxuan also worked very hard!
A long sigh sounded from the Yuqing Palace.

 To avoid trouble, I will send two chapters together.

  I'm not sure if there will be any problems in the early stage of the new book, so I don't dare to leave too many manuscripts. Otherwise, if the response to the previous part of the plot is not good, it will also have an impact on the later plot, so if something happens, it will Delayed update.

  However, so far, I haven’t found a few negative reviews for the previous twenty chapters. I can save the manuscript next, and I will start saving the manuscript tomorrow and update it on time.

  I hope you will support me, read it every day, and vote for recommendation, thank you!
