Chapter 95: Dabi (20)
Hu Mingyue could have continued to challenge Wang Tong and compete for the seventh position, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.
Wang Tong's strength is by no means below Hu Mingyue, Hu Mingyue's chance of winning is less than fifty percent, this is still in the case that Wang Tong did not leave a hand in the previous competition, once Wang Tong's strength is beyond his expectations, Hu Mingyue will expose some of his own means even if he wants to win, even if he can win the game, it will attract some unnecessary attention. A seventh-place is not worth the price he pays.
At the end of the last five qualifying rounds, Ren Yanling unexpectedly won the sixth place, Wang Tong was seventh, Hu Mingyue was eighth, Cheng Yin was ninth, and Murong Chong, who was still happy for his bye, only got the bottom tenth.
Originally, the top five competition system is the same, one of the five people has a bye, and the remaining four people face off in pairs, and then the loser group faces off first, and the winner group faces off later, after the result is decided, the person who comes out of the wheel first plays against the winner of the loser's group, and after winning, he will get the first place in the duel with the winner of the winner's group, and the rest of the ranking competition is the same as the last five to determine the ranking order and determine the top three.
However, Liang Pianji's absence disrupted the format. However, this situation is not uncommon in the freshman competition of Longmen College, because Liang Pianjiao is absent, so she can only get the fifth place, and the remaining four people face off in pairs, the winner of the decision competes for the first place, and the loser can only compete for the third place, and the person who wins the third place has a chance to challenge the second place.
Tian Ning stood in the middle of the ring, looking at the four people in the audience, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he announced in a deep voice: "The first game, Wang Dong vs. Lin Tianlong, will start in ten minutes!"
As soon as Tian Ning's words fell, the four people in the audience had different expressions. Wang Dong's face was calm, Lin Tianlong was a little surprised, Liang Dong felt a little puzzled, and although Chen Lei was expressionless, the corners of his mouth were curved.
Wang Dong and Lin Tianlong walked into the ring from both sides at the same time, and the two of them bowed slightly to Tian Ning at the same time, which was the awe of the innate powerhouse.
The two turned around, looked directly at each other, and nodded lightly at the same time, as if they said hello, and then they stood in place, indifferent.
Wang Dong and Lin Tianlong are considered to be the two strongest in this year's freshman competition, but the first matchup is arranged for the two of them, and the winner will continue to move forward, while the loser can only compete for second place at most.
Not only is everyone in the ring paying attention to them, but several innate monks on the rostrum are always paying attention to every move in the ring, both of them have innate talents, and their hearts are also excellent, as long as they don't fall halfway, there is a great hope for advancing to the innate level.
In addition to these people in the arena, there are also many people in other places who are paying attention to this battle, in a room in the main teaching building of the college, at this moment, two people are looking at everything here through the window, although they can't hear the sound, but they see Wang Dong and Lin Tianlong appear in the ring at the same time, one of them involuntarily slammed his fist, "It's done!"
"Congratulations, teacher!" Liu Zhi bowed slightly, with a proud smile on his face.
"It's still early!" Yan Changfeng waved his hand, there was not too much smugness on his face, although Yan Changfeng, as the deputy minister of the Department of Wood, was extremely powerful, but Tian Ning, who was in charge of presiding over the big competition, was indeed a guy who did not eat oil and salt, and it was not that Yan Changfeng did anything unsightly to be able to arrange things properly this time, but that he deliberately arranged for people to knock on Tian Ning's side, and subtly, Tian Ning chose what he thought was the right choice when he chose in the ring.
But Tian Ning in the ring seemed to notice something at this time, and glanced back at the teaching building, his indifferent expression made him a little unfathomable.
Seeing this scene, Yan Changfeng frowned slightly, but fortunately, Tian Ning just glanced at it and turned his head. I don't know why, Yan Changfeng's mind suddenly became a little heavy.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a young woman in a grass-green dress walked in, and when she saw Yan Changfeng and Liu Zhi in the house, the person who came frowned and said with some apologies: "I'm sorry, I know there are people inside." ”
"It's okay!" Yan Changfeng's slightly nervous expression had disappeared when he saw the visitor, he nodded to the person who came, and said, "Minister Wang, please come in!"
"Thank you, Minister Yan!" Although Wang Ou, the deputy director of the Department of Water Science, had a grateful tone in his mouth, his face was expressionless, as if the sentence just now did not come from her mouth at all.
"Senior Sister Wang, who do you think is likely to win the first place in this year's big competition?" Yan Changfeng rolled his eyes and asked seemingly casually.
Wang Ou walked straight to the window, looked at the two figures standing in the ring in the drizzle not far away through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and after a little thought, he gave his answer: "It should be Wang Dong!"
"Oh!" Yan Changfeng nodded his head, his opinion was the same as Wang Ou, Wang Dong's strength was indeed second to none among the five people, only Lin Tianlong could match it, as for Liang Dong and Chen Lei, the strength of the two of them was slightly inferior, which was also the reason why Yan Changfeng arranged Liang Dong and Chen Lei in the same group.
"It's a pity, this time there is no one in our Hydrology Department in the top five!" Thinking of this, Wang Ou couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing Wang Ou say this, Yan Changfeng's face did not show the slightest sense of schadenfreude, but instead said solemnly: "Senior sister, although there are no students from the Department of Water Science in the top five, the little girl in the sixth place, if she is carefully cultivated, is also very hopeful. ”
"Senior Brother Yan is right!" Wang Ou rarely showed a smile on his face, Ren Yanling's qualifications and temperament were excellent enough, which made Wang Ou think of last year's Mo Fei, in the freshman competition, Mo Fei also only won the sixth place, but in the year-end competition of the first grade, Mo Fei won the second place, and even had an excellent performance in this year's 100 colleges competition. Ren Yanling may not be able to become the next Mo Fei, especially when she has an extremely close relationship with Mo Fei.
The relationship between Liang Dong and Ren Yanling can't be hidden from the eyes of people with a heart at all, but everyone has no intention of beating mandarin ducks, Liang Dong and Ren Yanling are childhood sweethearts, plus Liang Dong's qualifications are also good, and he has the qualifications to peep into the innate hope. Practicing the four elements of wealth and the law, couples are the second element of cultivation after wealth, and a Taoist couple who can deliver everything is definitely a great help in cultivation.
Under the attention of the three of them, Lin Tianlong and Wang Dong in the ring both held the hilt of their swords at the same time, and Tian Ning had already announced that the game had entered the countdown.
Liang Dong's gaze was like everyone else, closely following every move of the two in the ring, but he didn't notice that Chen Lei, who was not far away, occasionally swept his gaze and always stayed on him for a few more seconds.
"The game begins!" As soon as Tian Ning's voice fell, Lin Tianlong and Wang Dong drew their swords at the same time, and the two of them did not immediately rush towards each other, but stood cautiously in place. I don't know what he found, Lin Tianlong suddenly slashed out with a sword volley, and a slightly scorching sword qi broke through the air in an instant, directly attacking Wang Dong on the other side of the ring.
Wang Dong's reaction was equally fast, and just as Lin Tianlong slashed out with a sword, Wang Dong held the sword with both hands and slashed upwards with force, and a sword qi with a slight earthy yellow color poured out from the tip of the sword. The two sword qi suddenly met in mid-air, and a dull impact suddenly sounded, and after the two sword qi collided, they suddenly exploded, and the layers of ripples that were even clearly visible in the air!
Seeing this scene, Liang Dong's eyes suddenly tightened, Wang Dong and Lin Tianlong had already broken through the third layer of Qi training, and their cultivation had been stabilized, and the new true power had been completely adapted. It wasn't just Liang Dong who discovered this, almost all the seniors who cultivated at the third level or above discovered this, and couldn't help but whisper, and soon everyone in the ring knew the news.
"Hmph!" Lin Tianlong snorted coldly, a fireball the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in his left hand, and then slapped it lightly, the fireball swayed and flew towards Wang Dong, the small fireball heat was restrained and a little incandescent in the center, in the drizzle, although the fireball kept swaying, and the movement was extremely slow, but Wang Dong did not dare to be careless.
True Qi Luck, a little accumulation, a cross slash slashed out instantly, and the next moment, a cross sword qi burst out from the tip of the sword and shot out at the small fireball.
"Boom!" An explosion that was more fierce than just now sounded in the ring, and the gray smoke quickly filled half of the ring, and under the drizzle, the smoke quickly dissipated, and when people saw everything clearly, Wang Dong and Lin Tianlong didn't know when they were already fighting fiercely in the center of the ring.
The two exchanged swords, the sword light flickered, the chill condensed, and the murderous aura was pressing.
Lin Tianlong's sword provoked Wang Dong in the chest and abdomen, and after Wang Dong avoided it sideways, the big sword in his hand made a move Mount Tai to press the top and smashed it at Lin Tianlong.
