Chapter 389: Too Lucky, Battle of the Top Eight!
Zhang Xiaobao stuffed the note in his hand directly into his mouth and swallowed it, and then his eyes fell on the ring again.
The first game was now coming to an end, and one older man was beaten all over the ground by another younger man. There was blood in the ring again, which was a bit cruel.
Zhang Xiaobao stared at the bloodstains on the ground for a while, and then shook his head helplessly. He doesn't want to act anymore today, this feeling is really bad. Yesterday's drama was already sufficient, and it is estimated that no one will doubt his true identity and his true cultivation attainments.
After another five minutes, the man who was beaten down could no longer get up, and the competition ended smoothly.
It was Zhang Xiaobao's turn to appear, and he straightened his shirt and jumped up from the side of the ring.
As soon as he came to power, those who witnessed him falling continuously yesterday started to "scream" and coax. Zhang Xiaobao turned his head to look at everyone, and then bowed deeply. Anyway, even if these people look down on him, they still come to support themselves today, so it's normal to bow down.
The two old Taoist priests in charge of judging looked at it, and one of them shouted: "In the second game, Maoshan Zhang Xiaobao played against Shangguan Yunfei. Please Shangguan Yunfei on stage! ”
However, his shouts were not answered, and in desperation, he had to repeat it again and again, but the result was still the same.
The competition between the two people, now only Zhang Xiaobao is left, and this competition naturally cannot be continued.
The two old Taoist priests in charge of judging discussed for a while, and then there was the next lucky scene.
"Shangguan Yunfei has not shown up for a long time, and it is regarded as abstention, so the winner of this competition is, Zhang Xiaobao of the Maoshan faction!"
When Zhang Xiaobao heard this, he immediately cheered excitedly.
Seeing this, all kinds of whispers suddenly came to him. But Zhang Xiaobao still laughed loudly as if he hadn't heard it.
But the lucky thing seems to have just begun, the third round of twenty-five to thirteen, Zhang Xiaobao bye; In the fourth round, Zhang Xiaobao had a bye again.
It wasn't until the fifth day that with the addition of the elite disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the quarterfinals finally ignited.
Except for Zhang Xiaobao and the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect who made up for it, they did not go all the way to the fifth round, and the other six people without exception won in a row with their real strength, and several people fought to enter the top eight.
But then again, isn't luck a sign of strength?
There are still three hours left before the official start of the quarterfinals, and Zhang Xiaobao also began to prepare for the final moments.
The quarterfinals are different from the previous four rounds of competition, and the previous four rounds were all drawn in advance, so as long as it is not the first game, there is still a little time to understand the opponent in advance. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, knowing more about the opponent can give you more chances of winning when you compete.
And what about this quarter-final match? A total of four rings were arranged, so they were played at the same time. It was drawn on the spot by the real person in charge of the Dragon and Tiger faction, and the two people who were drawn to fight immediately entered the competition. In this way, it will be fairer and more able to prevent some people from doing something in advance.
Of course, to reach the top eight, the strength of these eight people must not be underestimated, and it is difficult for anyone to meet as before, the situation is tilted one-sidedly. Even Zhang Xiaobao is so solemn, which shows how difficult the opponents in the top eight are to deal with.
Among these eight people, in addition to Zhang Xiaobao and the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect who filled the position, there were two acquaintances, one of whom was the Huan'er girl of the Weimen, and the other was Senior Brother Liu, whom Zhang Xiaobao had always disliked.
Don't look at this Senior Brother Liu's usual words, but this guy is indeed not weak, and if he touches him, it is not so easy to deal with.
As for this Huan'er girl from the tricky gate, she is definitely a dark horse, how dark is it? Suffice it to say, at first almost no one knew who she was, and no one had ever heard of her name. But after she appeared on the court, she defeated strong opponents one after another, and they all advanced by an overwhelming margin, and her strength was so strong that she almost became the favorite to win the championship.
The remaining four people, although they are also well-known figures, Zhang Xiaobao is in no mood to pay attention to them, because as long as he doesn't bump into Huan'er, no matter who the opponent is, he will defeat.
Zhang Xiaobao sat cross-legged on the bed, and he decided to use the three hours before the competition to consolidate his cultivation. Because after three hours, it is likely that a fierce battle awaits him.
But what was a little helpless was that he had just closed his eyes and practiced for a while, when there was a knock outside the door.
Disturbed by the knock on the door, how could Zhang Xiaobao's mood be good. Still, he got up and walked to the door, and opened it. When he looked up, he was really a little depressed. This person who came to the door was not someone else, it turned out to be that Senior Brother Liu.
Senior Brother Liu's face was a little pale today, and his lips were still slightly purple. As soon as he saw Zhang Xiaobao open the door, he immediately tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, it's not ...... Didn't bother you, did you? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaobao frowned slightly, and then asked puzzledly: "Senior Brother Liu, the competition is approaching, I don't know if you are looking for me at this time, is there anything important?" ”
When Senior Brother Liu heard this, he smiled and said, "Actually, it's not too important. That one...... Let me go in and talk about that. Is it done? ”
This Senior Brother Liu's attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and even a fool can guess that he has something to ask for.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and nodded, then turned sideways and let him enter the room.
After Senior Brother Liu came in, he looked left and right, and then sat down directly on the chair, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect to cough violently.
Zhang Xiaobao closed the door and immediately asked, "Senior Brother Liu, are you injured?" Is it serious? ”
Senior Brother Liu coughed for a while, and then he reluctantly held back: "Yes, I fought hundreds of rounds with that guy from the Qingcheng faction in yesterday's competition. Although I won in the end, I was also injured a lot. The reason why I'm here today is actually ...... In fact, there is one thing to ask for. I hope that Senior Brother Zhang can become a brother! Ahem...... Ahem......" At this point, he coughed violently again.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaobao smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Liu, the quarterfinals are about to start, you are looking for me at this time, do you want me to abstain and send you to the semifinals?" ”
When Senior Brother Liu heard this, he hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, you do understand me. That's exactly what I mean, and of course, we don't necessarily get together. I mean, if ...... If we do bump into each other, I hope you will abstain, so that I can concentrate on tomorrow's competition. ”
Everything was as Zhang Xiaobao expected, he looked at Senior Brother Liu with a smile, and then asked rhetorically: "Senior Brother Liu, if you want to advance to the semifinals, why don't I want to?" You have been so badly wounded, why don't you fulfill me? ”
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao's refusal, Senior Brother Liu immediately showed a sneer on his pale face, and then said fiercely: "Senior Brother Zhang, I advise you that it is better to agree." I know one thing, and I think you must be interested in it. You're not the real Zhang Xiaobao, am I right? ”
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao heard this, his eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent. What does this Senior Brother Liu know?
