Chapter Ninety-Nine: A New Challenge
He turned out to be the spirit master in charge of Zhu Chi's second round of the big competition!
Liu Ming was naturally taken aback when he saw the fat old man's face clearly in the audience, but after a few quick turns, his expression was as usual.
The fat old man's sleeves flicked, and suddenly a small flag shot out of it, and it turned into a pole flag and inserted it on both sides of the ring, as many as twenty strokes, and half of each was neatly arranged.
Looking at the symbols on the flag, ten strokes on one side are the ranking signs from 100 to 91, and on the other side are the ranking signs from 90 to 81.
At this moment, the fat old man said lightly:
"All the core disciples who match the ranking of the banner can now take the stage. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "whoosh" and "whoosh" sound from under the stone platform, and the twenty disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect who had already prepared for the battle immediately flew to the banner that represented him, and there was no one missing.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and he saw Xiao Feng and Du Hai, two acquaintances, one of them ranked ninety-three, and the other ranked eighty-nine.
"Very good, in order of ranking, the bottom ten can challenge the top ten at will, the winner will go to the higher ranking, and the loser will stay in the lower ranking. After I asked three times in a row, no one challenged, so the challenge between the two groups of disciples ended. And in each batch of challenges, each person only has the right to challenge once, and now the challenge begins. The fat old man nodded and said without thinking.
After the core disciples of the two flags exchanged glances with each other, a man who seemed to be sturdy walked out of the banner and challenged a certain disciple on the opposite side by name.
The fat old man pinched the trick with one hand, and suddenly the pattern on the stone platform flashed, and a layer of light covered the entire stone platform.
The two disciples in the center of the ring had already signed the life and death order yesterday, so they didn't need to repeat the matter, and directly pulled out a long knife, and the other put on a black fist and immediately cast a spell from a distance.
The battle between the two was not exciting, almost all of them kept urging the talisman in their hands to attack each other, and at the same time released the auxiliary attacks of various simple spells as soon as possible.
Both men seem to be unusually cautious and conservative people, and have no intention of approaching each other at all.
But in this way, it turned out to be a battle of mana attrition for a while.
For them, although the talisman attack is simple to release, the power is obviously insufficient, and it is impossible to break through the opponent's defense, and the magic attack power is enough, but the casting speed is obviously unable to keep up, and most of them will be easily interrupted or dodged by the opponent.
Therefore, the battle between the two was just a process of constantly waving talismans, simply casting spells, and constantly running and dodging, which made everyone in the audience a little drowsy.
However, after a meal, the challenger finally grabbed the opponent and couldn't dodge, a fireball knocked the opponent unconscious, and then after the fat old man announced the victory, he fought to the opponent's banner in ecstasy.
After the fat old man fell from the sky, he examined the injured slightly, gave him a little treatment, and ordered the loser to be carried down first, announcing the continuation of the following challenge.
Perhaps stimulated by the first person, two people suddenly snatched it out almost at the same time, and one of them was Xiao Feng.
After the two glanced at each other, Xiao Feng, who was moving a little slower by half a beat, retreated a little reluctantly.
So after choosing a new challenge, another battle began.
However, Liu Ming only glanced at it a few times, and then sighed secretly.
The competition between the two on the stage was almost the same as the last one, and it was just a simple use of talismans and simple spells, and there was not much to see.
Liu Ming immediately stopped wasting time and continued to watch, but walked out of the crowd, found a no-man's corner at the edge of the stone mountain, sat down, and quietly closed his eyes and breathed.
Although he could not see the situation on the stone platform, he could still hear the cheers coming from that side, but there was no expression on his face.
On the side of the stone platform, as time went by, the challenges were over, Xiao Feng finally made a move in the back, and luckily defeated an opponent, occupying the eighty-fifth ranking.
Du Hai comfortably defeated a challenger and retained his ranking.
So after two more competitions, and finally when no one was challenged, the 100th to 91st disciples stepped down and were replaced by 10 core disciples from 80 to 71, so a new round of challenges began again.
But this time, Du Hai and other ten people became challengers.
In this way, the whole competition has always maintained the mode of challenging the low-level ten to the high-level ten, but after the fierce competition in the first two days, most of the disciples have self-knowledge of the unused challenge right, and they just showed their faces on the stage, and then left the stage again satisfied.
In this way, except for a few rounds of competition between disciples that were slightly more frequent and intense, the whole competition quickly passed round by round, and half a day later, Ishikawa Sima Tian and others, who were ranked in the top twenty, went to the stone platform.
At this time, Liu Ming, who was originally recuperating, opened his eyes and got up again and approached the stone platform.
Sure enough, just as he expected, the battle between the top thirty and top twenty core disciples suddenly became fierce and unusual, and almost every top thirty disciple challenged it, and the twenty disciples, including Ishikawa, all showed an amazing strength that the previous disciples couldn't match.
When these disciples fought, some people showed a stone-falling technique close to the Dacheng realm, falling down like a rain of skull-sized stones, and some people summoned two pawn-level ghosts at the same time, and with the cooperation of killing the opponent, they retreated, and some people showed infinite alchemy skills, which could collapse and disintegrate the opponent's defensive attack with one punch.
Among them, after Ishikawa faced a challenge from a strong enemy, he had to show a silver chain for the first time, and transformed it into countless lock covers to tie the opponent into a strong knot, and finally defeated the opponent.
For the first time, Sima Tian also showed a pitch-black short ruler as black as ink, and with a wave, a group of strange cold black qi rolled out, turning the challenger into a black ice sculpture in a moment, which made many people exclaim.
However, in addition to these two people, the bald man who ranked nineteenth Gu Jue made Liu Ming care a lot.
In addition to a thick and abnormal soul refining rope, the aura on this person's body inexplicably gave him a faint sense of familiarity.
And the bald man easily defeated the challenge opponent with only the black rope in his hand, and his strength was also unfathomable.
But what made him care more was that when Uncle Ruan saw the bald man on stage, there seemed to be some inadvertent abnormalities in his expression, and when the big man was competing, his eyes never left the big man's side, as if he was very in his every move.
Liu Ming also muttered a little in his heart under a trace of doubt.
However, despite how fierce these competitions were, and some people were really defeated to take their places, Ishikawa and others kept their rankings.
When the last challenge between these two groups of disciples was over, the fat old man did not summon Liu Ming and the others to the stage, but announced that he would rest for an hour before starting the competition for the top ten disciples at the bottom.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ishikawa Sima Tian and others swallowed the pills on the spot, and seized the time to meditate and breathe.
The other disciples of the Barbarian Ghost Sect began to excitedly talk about the upcoming competition, and commented that those people would not be challenged, and those people would lose their rankings.
Liu Ming faintly heard not many words mentioning himself, but most of them were not optimistic about his appearance, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
When the time of an hour came, the mana that Ishikawa and the others had consumed had almost recovered.
After the fat old man also planted the flags of the ten disciples on the edge of the ring, he announced that Lei Zhen and the other ten people had come to the stage.
When Liu Ming and the others heard this, they naturally took the stage without hesitation.
The fat old man's originally smiling gaze was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Ming who had walked under the ninth flag, but after his eyes flashed slightly, he immediately recovered as before.
Gao Chong flew up to the stone platform from the other direction, happened to meet Liu Ming, and after glancing at Liu Ming coldly, he walked to his banner and stood without saying a word.
Lei Zhen, who flew over from the side, saw Liu Ming and hehe, with a eager expression on his face.
"The battle for the top ten disciples begins now. The victorious ten will become the real top ten disciples, and can enter the ranking battle of the top ten disciples in the future. I now declare that the Freedom Challenge begins. After the fat old man said a few words quickly, his figure slowly flew backwards towards the side of the stone platform.
And although everyone in the ring looked at each other with sparkling eyes, but Ishikawa and the other ten people who were standing opposite Liu Ming, no one stood up immediately for a while, but at least five or six of them swept their eyes from Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed in his heart.
Obviously, nearly half of the people on the other side have locked it in as a challenge.
This is also a very normal thing, on the surface, he looks a little weaker than the others. The reason why they didn't immediately challenge them was probably because they were worried about whether they had other hidden means.
And just when Liu Ming was thinking so, a person next to Ishikawa on the opposite side finally hesitated for a moment, suddenly stepped forward and said loudly:
"Disciple Hu Fei wants to challenge Senior Brother Bai, who is now ranked ninth, and I hope that Senior Uncle Ruan will agree!"
This person was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, and the brocade robe he was wearing had a faint blue light flashing, and at the same time, he was carrying a narrow and slender crescent-shaped strange blade behind him.
When Liu Ming heard this, he immediately looked at the other party with a few narrowed eyes.
When the fat old man heard this, he glanced at Liu Ming lightly, and then nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Liu Ming also walked out of the banner with an expressionless face.
At this time, the fat old man pinched the trick with one hand, resurfaced the light mask on the ring, covered all the two fighters, and loudly announced the start of the challenge.
