Chapter 396 Sword Contest
Song Qingming picked up the wooden card in his hand, shook his head and said: "I only know that the number I drew is number 29. I don't know who my opponent is yet. I guess I won't know until the fellow Taoists in front finish the competition. "
After Patriarch Chen announced the holding of the Sword Discussion Conference, the specific spiritual objects awarded to the winners of the Sword Discussion Conference were soon announced. As long as the monks in the Qi Refining Stage can enter the top twenty, each person will receive one. As a reward, those who enter the top five will get an additional first-grade magic weapon.
As for the monks who can enter the top ten among the foundation-building monks, they will be rewarded with a second-level middle-grade Moon Watching Pill, and the top three monks can each get a second-level high-grade magic weapon.
Moon Watching Pill has the function of assisting foundation-building monks to break through the realm. Song Qingming has bought two of them in Yangshanfang before. The value of this Moon Watching Pill alone is almost 500 spiritual stones in the market. It is a second-level A high-grade magic weapon doesn't cost much, and any single one is worth nearly two thousand spirit stones.
Seeing that the Sword Discussion Conference has such high rewards, many foundation-building monks who came to Tuoyun Mountain, regardless of their cultivation level, basically participated in the registration. Anyway, you can participate in this Sword Discussion Conference as long as you register, and there is no need to turn in additional spiritual stones. , even if you fail to enter the top ten and receive a reward, it will not be a big loss to yourself.
"Fellow Daoist Song, I heard that in addition to the superficial rewards for the top ten monks in this sword discussion conference, they can stay at Tuoyun Mountain after the trade fair to listen to Patriarch Chen's opening sermon. This is something I can't wait for. Got a chance."
"Haha! What Fellow Daoist Huang said is true, but this time there are more than a hundred Daoist Fellows who came to Tuoyun Mountain to build the foundation. If we want to enter the top ten, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, so we can only take a chance. It depends on your luck, I don’t know who will win the top three prizes in the end!" Song Qingming looked forward and sighed with a smile.
Huang Shengxin nodded in approval and said: "Fellow Daoist Song is right to think so. This sword discussion conference only has more than 20 masters from the late stage of foundation building. Maybe we will all come to join in the meeting in the end." It’s noisy, but having the opportunity to compete with so many monks of the same level is a great pleasure in life, so you and I just have to do our best.”
While a few people were talking, the competition stage for the foundation-building monks of the Sword Discussion Conference had officially begun its first competition.
The first two monks to face off were both at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. After a fierce fight, one of the young men, relying on the more sophisticated magic weapon in his hand, won the battle in a thrilling way and entered the next round. Contest.
In the second round, a young woman wearing a light yellow palace dress appeared on the stage. A burst of exclamations suddenly sounded outside the competition stage. Song Qingming took a closer look and realized that the faint aura of this woman had arrived. The nine-story foundation was built.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, who is this woman? She has reached the pinnacle of foundation building at such a young age."
Seeing some confusion on Song Qingming's face, Huang Shengyue hurriedly explained: "This is Fairy Qiudie from Iron Immortal Valley. She is the one with the best talent in cultivation among the younger generation of the Ma family. She has won the true inheritance of Senior Ma. This time She should be ranked among the top three in the Sword Discussion Conference. She is really unlucky to meet such a powerful opponent right from the beginning. "
The monk who fought against Fairy Qiudie was an old man with a white beard. This man's cultivation level was similar to that of Song Qingming, and he had already reached the seventh level of foundation building.
Although the two people fighting against each other were both late-stage Foundation Establishment monks, the difference in strength seemed not to be that big. However, after the battle began, the old man at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment was quickly defeated by the mysterious magical power used by the other party. The power to fight back.
This woman borrowed a silver lantern and kept summoning a group of overwhelming white butterflies from the lantern. Each of these butterflies was like a sharp hidden weapon. They quickly surrounded the opponent and attacked from all directions, even if they were the opponent. He had a pretty good defensive weapon in his hand, but he still couldn't hold on for too long. In the end, the old man had no choice but to declare defeat and end the fight.
After seeing the magical power of Fairy Qiudie, Song Qingming could only secretly be glad that he didn't meet her at the beginning, otherwise he would have been like the old man just now and lost in the first round. .
As the monks came on stage one after another, it was soon the turn of Song Qingming and the three of them who were sitting aside to watch the battle. Fortunately, the three of them had good luck on the first day. The opponents they encountered were all foundation-building powders with average cultivation. Xiu, except for Huang Shengyue who struggled with the opponent for a while, Song Qingming and Huang Shengxin easily entered the second round without much effort.
Of the hundreds of foundation-building monks, only half of the sixty or so monks were left on the second day. This time, Song Qingming encountered a stronger opponent, a bald man with a sixth-level foundation building.
This guy is a body-refining monk. With his hard-as-iron skills, he has few opponents among monks of the same level. However, body-refining monks have an obvious weakness, which is that the spiritual consciousness in their bodies is generally weak.
After Song Qingming used a silver shield to block several close attacks from the bald man, he took advantage of the opponent's actions and took out a black flag from his storage bag, releasing a burst of black smoke and trapping him in place. .
This black flag was the ecstasy flag that Song Qingming asked Huang Shengyue to help transform. This flag was originally a magic weapon that was best at attacking the souls of monks. The bald man was trapped in place by the ecstasy flag. After a long struggle, he finally came out of it. Black smoke rushed out, and just when he raised his eyes to search for Song Qingming's traces, a huge transparent spike had already arrived in front of him, knocking him off the stage.
Song Qingming, who was standing on the stone platform, wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly walked aside. In order to launch this powerful blow, he had already consumed a lot of mana. Fortunately, he had accumulated it for a long time. This blow did not disappoint him and directly knocked his opponent off the stone platform.
Because according to the rules of sword theory, as long as the opponent is forced off the stone platform, it is considered a victory. Even though the bald man who was knocked off the stone platform by him was not seriously injured and stood up as soon as he fell to the stone platform, Song Qingming still Soon I heard the voice of the monk on the side announcing his victory. He quickly put away the ecstasy flag and walked down from the competition stone platform.
Although this battle took some effort and consumed a lot of mana, it was not what Song Qingming had expected before the battle, and there were not too many twists and turns. After all, he was superior to his opponent in both cultivation and magical weapons. , as long as you are not restrained by the opponent's skills or attacked by surprise, winning is not a big problem.
