After the banquet started, everyone who had been hungry all morning launched an offensive towards the delicacies on the table. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere naturally became lively. As they drank and drank, many people got closer. relation. Of course, not everyone ate so happily. After an unpalatable lunch, all the people at the same table with Long Ao fled away. Long Ao secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface Still looking cold, he walked slowly to the backyard of Haitian Villa.
The afternoon competition would not officially start until two o'clock. Long Ao was too lazy to find a place to rest. He simply went to the square in the backyard alone and sat with his eyes closed to relax. Not long after, he noticed someone walking towards him.
Long Ao was too lazy to waste his spiritual consciousness to explore. No one could hurt him anyway, so he wanted to see what happened to the person who came here.
"Young man, why didn't you go to your room to rest?" An old man's voice came from behind him. Long Ao slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked over. It was an old man with white beard and hair, who looked about fifty or sixty years old. He looks about 70 or 80 years old, but if you take a closer look, he seems to be in his seventies or eighties. If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to figure out this old man's true age.
However, Long Ao's eyes are not just for decoration. His cultivation at the Nine Heavens God Jue Jingxiao Realm (Great Innate Realm) is enough for him to see through all the illusions, so he can easily figure out the old man's true age, which should be in From the age of ninety upwards, it is only high but not low.
"I have to come here in the afternoon anyway, I'm too lazy to run." Long Ao looked directly into the other person's eyes and replied calmly. The old man in front of him has reached the small innate state of cultivation, which is what the world calls the state of returning to nature. He is a rare master in the world, at least no worse than Shi Lei's master on Tiantai Mountain in Linqiong.
Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, the old man was a little surprised. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his sight was like two bolts of lightning that swept across Long Ao's face. "I'm Zhuo Shiying, a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. I wonder what you call the young man?" Zhuo Shiying, who is good at observing people, was surprised to find that the tall, eagle-browed young man in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of fog. , my tried-and-tested method of observing people actually failed to see through the other person at all!
When Long Ao saw him asking questions about martial arts rules, he clasped his fists and returned the salute, "Long Ao, a casual cultivator without any sect."
When Zhuo Shiying heard that he had no sect, he didn't quite believe it. However, there were often some people in the martial arts who were unwilling to reveal their master's origins when they traveled around the world. He did not ask further questions, but just smiled and asked: "Mr. Long, I wonder if Are you interested in chatting with me?" It is normal for people in the world to call each other 'sir' before they have a relationship, even if Zhuo Shiying is two or three generations older than Long Ao.
Naturally, Long Ao would not be disappointed. He stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuo, please sit down."
Zhuo Shiying walked to a chair next to him and sat down slowly, and began to chat with Long Ao. He is worldly and sophisticated, and he has shortened the relationship between the two parties in just a few words. One calls the other person 'nephew', and the other calls him 'senior'. Although this is a bit inappropriate, it is still better than calling each other 'sir'.
Zhuo Shiying originally accidentally saw Long Ao sitting here alone, and came over to chat out of curiosity. Later, seeing that Long Ao refused to tell the origin of his apprenticeship, he planned to talk about it through chatting. Unexpectedly, it was only during this conversation that he discovered that Long Ao was Although he looks young, his thoughts are extremely thoughtful and his words are not revealing at all. However, some of the martial arts views that Long Ao occasionally mentioned made Zhuo Shiying quickly forget his original purpose and started discussing them with him with great interest. The more he discussed it, the more surprised he became. In his eyes, Long Ao was a piece of rough jade that had not yet been completely carved, and he couldn't help but want to give some advice.
It¡¯s not that Zhuo Shiying is arrogant, after all, the age gap between the two parties is there. For a master of a small innate realm, only a master of a large innate realm can convince him. Although it is said that after reaching the Xiantian realm, one can rejuvenate and return to the appearance of a young and middle-aged person, but that must at least be at the peak of the Xiao Xiantian realm. With his ten years of cultivation after entering the Xiao Xiantian realm, he cannot do it, let alone the thirty-year-old man in front of him. The aura exuding from the young people in their early years is not even that of a small innate person.
Of course, it turned out that he was seriously mistaken. The Long Ao in front of him was not in his early thirties, but more than thirteen years old, and his cultivation was the great innate realm that he desperately desired!
Long Ao was not stupid enough to tell the truth, and was happy to listen to his advice. He had no choice but to make Xiao Yitian's master, He Zijing, so irresponsible. Since Xiao Yitian entered junior high school, He Zijing rarely taught him anything. Firstly, he didn't know how terrifying Xiao Yitian's advancement in cultivation was. Secondly, he wanted to retreat to the innate realm and didn't have much time to care about other things. He even quit his job at the sports school. And although Xiao Yitian has the Nine Heavens Secret Art in his mindIt's a mysterious skill, but without anyone's guidance, it's not very thorough in many places.
But now Zhuo Shiying's kindness gave Long Ao an advantage, and some things that he couldn't figure out before were solved. Unknowingly, his state of mind has been greatly improved, and his control of his own power has become more and more proficient.
Zhuo Shiying was shocked when he saw Long Ao's changing momentum. If he had a slight psychological advantage before, he was completely shocked by Long Ao now because he saw Long Ao's momentum with his own eyes. He has been promoted from the acquired realm to the small innate realm in an instant!
"Could it bethat this is what the Buddhists call epiphany? Alas, the world is already dominated by young people. I wonder if this young man can break through to the great innate realm. If he can break through to the great innate realm before he is fifty, , then he must be the number one person in the martial arts world!" Zhuo Shiying was full of emotions, but he was only happy and not jealous. After practicing Neijia Zhenqi for decades, he has lost sight of fame and gain. Many, at the moment, just appreciate the progress of younger generations.
Long Ao calmed down his aura and saluted Zhuo Shiying with cupped fists. "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask. I will do my best." To be honest, Zhuo Shiying gave him what he said. In fact, the help is not very big. At the very least, he was already at the Great Innate Realm. Although he has made some progress this time, there is no improvement in the realm. He just consolidated his foundation. But from another perspective, it is precisely because of Zhuo Shiying's guidance that he has a more solid foundation. This can also avoid the risks when his cultivation level increases and his realm improves in the future. You must know that the more you practice, the more you cultivate. Later, it will be difficult to make any progress. There will be certain risks when breaking through the current realm. If you are not careful, you may go too far and lose all your skills. In more serious cases, your life may be endangered!
At this time, people had begun to walk towards the backyard square. Long Ao looked at the time and saw that it was close to two o'clock in the afternoon. The afternoon competition was about to start again. Zhuo Shiying stroked the beard on his chin, stood up and left. After all, he showed up at Haitian Villa to participate in the battle for alliance leader, and Long Ao obviously did the same. In order not to cause any misunderstanding, he could only leave early.
As soon as two o'clock arrived, Yuan Ziyi entered the square and announced the start of the competition for the last four elder seats. According to the rules, the forces that have already obtained the elder seats are not allowed to continue to fight, so the progress of the competition in the afternoon was much faster. At three o'clock, the last four elder seats had been decided.
In this way, the twelve elder seats of the Presbyterian Church belong to the Qinglong Society, Tianlongmen, Paoge Society, Tiexian Gang, Honghualou, Bahu Hall, Tianlang Gang, Poisonous Scorpion Sect, Baile League, and Wanniu League. According to the rules, the elders' seats are elected internally by the above-mentioned forces. In principle, all members of the Presbyterian Council have the same status and there is no affiliation.
"Everyone!" Yuan Ziyi walked to the center of the square again, saluted in all directions, and said loudly: "What will happen next is the grand finale of this gathering, the battle for the position of leader of the alliance! The rules have been slightly changed. , from a one-on-one challenge to a group battle. In the group battle, only by defeating all opponents can the winner gain the position of leader!"
This change immediately caused chaos below, and everyone was talking about it. Group fights are not new. Who here has not experienced group fights? However, it is somewhat surprising to use a group fight to select the alliance leader at such a critical time. Although it is a group fight, those forces that have been in contact with each other in advance will definitely form a temporary group to defeat other opponents first, and then Its leader wins, which is a bit depressing for those forces that usually don't have enough allies.
Yuan Ziyi clapped his hands and said, "I will give you half an hour to prepare. In half an hour, the battle will officially begin!" The voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, and Long Ao's heart moved. , this woman is not as simple as she seems. Unexpectedly, everyone has misunderstood her. Her own cultivation seems to have reached the peak of acquired skills. As long as the opportunity comes, she may break through to the innate realm at any time!
Long Ao looked thoughtfully at Yuan Ziyi who was walking out, his eyes flashed with excitement, then he withdrew his gaze and continued to close his eyes to rest. The moment he closed his eyes, Yuan Ziyi seemed to notice something. He turned around and looked here. He glanced back and forth and found nothing. Finally, his eyes fell on Long Ao and he quickly turned away.
In the next half hour, the various forces negotiated with each other. Whether it was prepared in advance or made a temporary arrangement, everyone tried their best to win temporary allies for themselves. The greater the strength of unity, the higher the possibility of victory later. . Looking at the entire audience, there were only two people who were not involved. One was Yuan Ziyi, the permanently neutral head of the Ziyi Society, and the other was the Thirteen Taibao Ke Qing who attended the meeting alone.??Proud.
Half an hour passed quickly. Yuan Ziyi came on the stage and announced the rules of the competition. When all the contestants entered the square, she retreated to the side and shouted: "Start!"
This voice was like a horn of attack, kicking off the chaos. If someone looked down from the air at this time, they would find a strange scene in the square. The four corners of the square were occupied by four temporary small groups, while two people stood alone in the middle of the square - Zhuo Shiying and Long Ao. They were about five meters apart, standing motionless and looking at each other, with a vague air current surrounding their bodies. Perhaps they were intimidated by the aura of the two of them, but no one around them had any idea. They all waved their fists, feet or weapons at the players from other forces, starting a group fight where you were among them, and you were among them.
Long Ao seemed not to see or hear the chaos around him. His eyes were fixed on Zhuo Shiying opposite him, and he stood there very relaxed, giving people the feeling that he had been standing there since the beginning of time. , no sense of surprise. Zhuo Shiying looked at him with squinted eyes. He seemed to have no intention of taking action, but he was amazed in his heart, because although he could achieve a natural state like Long Ao, he could only do it after entering the small innate realm for several years. , and Long Ao had just advanced under his nose. He was able to do it in such a short time. He couldn't help but be shocked, and he had the idea of ????reporting to the sect general Long Ao to take him back to the gate.
Long Ao naturally didn't know what he was thinking. Zhuo Shiying didn't move, and he had no intention of moving. He knew that he would become his opponent before, but he could still give him some advice. He admired Zhuo Shiying's magnanimity, so he did not use his true strength to suppress the opponent, but used his newly entered innate power to fight against the enemy. .
As the two people looked at each other, time seemed to have stopped. There was no external object visible in their eyes, only the figure of the other person existed. It was as if the two of them were standing quietly in a void at the same time. There was nothingness above, below, left, and behind, and only themselves and their opponent existed.
While Zhuo Shiying was sighing, his own momentum was also rising. Appreciation was appreciation. He had promised to help others fight for the position of leader, so he could only go all out to prepare for the battle.
Long Ao is also constantly improving his momentum. In many cases, the competition between masters does not require fists and kicks. The strength of each other can be determined based on each other's momentum. After you and I have defeated each other with hundreds and eighty moves, , the scene where one party shouts the name of the ultimate move and kills the other party in one fell swoop can only appear in stupid martial arts movies. In reality, the masters' moves are actually far less beautiful and lively than those of beginners.
¡°Either do not move, or decide the outcome with one move, this is the real master.
As the momentum of the two people continued to rise and collided with each other, it was like a whirlwind on the ground. The air flow began to sweep around, and soon affected those around who were enjoying the fight. The powerful aura made it impossible for them to resist. If they wanted to avoid being pressed to their knees, they could only keep retreating and retreating. However, although the area of ??the square is large, it is limited after all. Unknowingly, those people have been forced to exit the square, and according to the rules, leaving the square counts as a loss!
So, the situation on the court suddenly became clear. The final winner will be between Zhuo Shiying and Long Ao!
Zhuo Shiying represents Brother Pao and Long Ao represents the Thirteenth Taibao. The dialogue between the old and the new attracted everyone's attention. However, the number of people who are optimistic about Long Ao here is zero. Even among the first few small-power heads who belong to the Thirteen Taibao, between Zhuo Shiying, who has white hair and hair, and the celestial spirit, and Long Ao, who has a fierce and cold face. I also chose the former. After all, in people¡¯s impression, the older you are, the stronger your kung fu is. Of course, I am talking about internal masters here. If you are an external master, you cannot say the same, because there is no internal Qi. As soon as they reach the age of forty, their physical functions begin to decline, and their energy and blood are not as abundant as when they were young. Naturally, they cannot compare with the masters of their maternal family who are around thirty.
In the silence of the audience, the momentum competition between the two finally reached its peak! The coat on Zhuo Shiying's body was not windy, and it could no longer bulge. His eyes bulged, and he knew that he could not wait any longer. Otherwise, the energy and spirit of both parties would have been stretched tightly. By then, all he had to do was A small stimulus from the outside world may cause the momentum of both sides to lose control - even a small sneeze from the spectators!
There was no unnecessary nonsense, no preparation before the drowsy ultimate move. Zhuo Shiying kicked the ground hard with the sole of his foot. Amidst the crisp crackling sound of the bluestone on the ground, his men were blasted towards him like cannonballs. Long Ao!
"Well done!" Long Ao secretly cheered in his heart. Zhuo Shiying's attack was perfect. The three elements of essence, energy and spirit were integrated into one. Especially the indomitable momentum added a bit more power!
dragonAo also kicked the ground hard and rushed forward. He came first and met Zhuo Shiying in the middle. The two fists struck each other, and there was a soft "bang" sound, and the severe pain came from their fists. And the force of the counter-shock made them retreat faster than before, just back to where they were originally standing, as if the blow just now had never happened!
As the two men retreated, the energy exchange caused by the fists clashed showed its power. "Boom~~" was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the spectators around the square involuntarily covered their ears. The exchange of energy caused violent vibrations in the air, and ripples that were almost visible to the naked eye spread outward in circles until they disappeared one after another until the edge of the square.
In the Pao Gehui camp, there was an old man sitting who looked very similar to Zhuo Shiying. He was Zhuo Shiying's younger brother, Zhuo Shixiong, who was also a disciple of the Qingcheng sect and had a low level of cultivation. Originally, he didn't take this competition seriously. In his opinion, his brother could easily take back the position of alliance leader with just a few casual gestures. Who knew that it was beyond his expectation from the very beginning? The young boy who was called a martial arts prodigy by his elder brother could actually match his elder brother's momentum and felt evenly matched!
?????????????????????????????????????? If it was just like this, who would have thought that the subsequent head-on collision would also be an invincible situation, which somewhat surprised him. The Zhuo brothers are all old men over ninety years old, with extremely strong internal energy. Looking at the entire southwest martial arts world, it is extremely rare to have such a level of cultivation, and all of them are old people not far from their own age. Now that such a young youngster suddenly appears and can compete with Zhuo Shiying, Zhuo Shixiong's heart begins to itch. If he hadn't considered that the timing was not right, he might have jumped into the field to compete with Long Ao!
