Chapter 45: Martial Arts Competition
Jianghuai Shi was the first to choose a weapon. She chose a giant hammer with a long handle that was even larger than the one she used before..
" This is not bad. It's much more handy than the one in the first stage. Tang Jinge, just you wait. Watch me smash you into a pig's head with a hammer!" Jiang Huaishi turned around and glared at Tang Jinge fiercely after she got the weapon..
"Junior Sister Jiang, I'm not sure if you want to fight me. Don't be so hostile towards Senior Brother..
"Tang Jinge spread his hands and smiled bitterly..
"I want you to bite me..
"Jiang Huai Shi still has some regrets about Tang Jinge, and he sticks out his tongue and makes a face. Tang Jinge is helpless, and he does not answer. He also goes forward to choose weapons.".
He didn't choose the halberd he used to fight everyone in the first stage. Instead, he chose two halberds. He gestured in his hands and nodded in satisfaction..
"Senior Brother Tang, isn't the halberd you're good at?.
Gu Xifeng was a little confused and asked..
"Junior brother, I don't know. My pedantic master had me practice these daggers since I was young. Daggers are similar to halberds, but very few people use them anymore. He said that using daggers can get closer to the origin. I still don't understand now. I'm used to using these daggers. Using halberds before is really not suitable..
Tang Jinge smiled, and the two wooden daggers in his hands had an indescribable ancient rhyme. The whole person seemed to come from an ancient warrior..
Even a weapon that wasn't suitable could fight Gu Xifeng and the others one-on-four without falling into a disadvantage. Now that he had switched to a weapon that was suitable, everyone was even more afraid of Tang Jinge..
The tall and strong youth named Xie Zhan chose a mountain axe as big as a millstone. His fierce aura increased by a large margin. He looked very similar to Pavilion Master Jiang of Tianxuan Pavilion. He must be the best among Tianxuan Pavilion disciples..
In sharp contrast to Xie Zhan was Ye Ling, who looked like a scholar. His entire person emitted a strong scholarly aura. The weapon he chose was a wooden sword. The scholarly aura of his sword gradually transformed into sword qi, making his entire person look much sharper..
Gu West Wind and Monkey naturally chose to use double daggers. Fortunately, the sect had prepared quite a few daggers as ultra-short weapons. Otherwise, it was very likely that one of them would have no weapon..
Zhang Yuntao's choice was also strange. His weapon was smaller than Gu Xifeng's, but it was actually a gold dart. Looking at Zhang Yuntao's fat head and big ears, was he a hidden weapon expert? Everyone was surprised..
Peach's weapon was still double rings, but this time it was bigger and more refined than before..
After everyone had chosen their weapons, they went to the competition stage together. When they saw eight people enter, the disciples immediately burst into enthusiastic applause. At this time, the Sect Leader, Pavilion Master, and the others had already made way for the competition stage and sat down below the stage..
Before the competition, there was one more thing to be done. The four people who had the same results in the Star Beads had to draw lots to determine the final ranking. After a simple draw, the manager walked to the front of the stage again..
"Next, I want to announce the final showdown list..
"Tang Jingge vs. Jianghuai Poetry.
"Gu Xifeng versus Ye Ling".
"The battle between the gods and Satan.".
"Xiao Houzai fights Tao Muyao..
"Now let's welcome the first group of Tang Jinge and Jianghuai Shi to the competition platform..
"Then the two of them went to the stage and left.".
Two people on the stage relative to stand, also not polite, Jianghuai Shi carried a huge wooden hammer to Tang Jinge attack, Tang Jinge waved his hands double Ge, calmly deal with.
Two collision process, Jianghuai Shi too impatient, many times exposed flaws, but Tang Jinge do not know how to think, also do not take advantage of the attack, has been taking a defensive posture.
After a long time, Jianghuai Shi stopped attacking, leaning on the hammer and panting heavily..
" Junior Sister Jiang, you've beaten Senior Brother for so long. It's time to vent your anger. Don't hold it in your heart anymore, okay?" Tang Jinge did not take the opportunity to attack. Instead, he said calmly..
" Tang Jinge, who asked you to yield? I won't argue with you, alright? Let's fight fairly!" Jianghuai Shi gritted her teeth and said. Then, she raised her huge hammer again..
"That's very good, Junior Sister. Sorry to offend you..
Tang Jinge grinned and held his twin spears toward Jianghuai Shi. Jianghuai Shi was not Tang Jinge's opponent. Now Tang Jinge took the initiative to attack again. Soon, he was attacked and defeated..
" Tang Jinge wins the first round!" The manager shouted loudly..
Jianghuai Shi was a little depressed, but he had no choice given his strength. The two of them left the competition stage one after another..
" For the second round, Gu Xifeng versus Ye Ling! Please go on stage!.
"Gu Xifeng and Ye Ling, who looked like scholars, walked onto the stage and saluted each other..
"Ye Ling of Tianquan Pavilion!""Gu West Wind of Vesta Pavilion!".
After the first day of the month, the sword was thrown out..
" Scholars like us cherish Dao more than gold. Junior Brother, look at your sword!" Ye Ling's sword intent was almost moral. There was logic in every sword move, such as point, thrust, chop, and intercept, which made his already impressive sword moves even more powerful..
Gu Xifeng used his two daggers to block the attack at an extremely fast speed. Although each attack was blocked, Gu Xifeng vaguely felt that it was more difficult every time..
It seems that Senior Brother Ye's moves will gradually become more powerful as he accumulates them. I have to finish this quickly! Gu Xifeng thought to himself. He pushed his speed to the limit and retreated rapidly..
Seeing that Gu Xifeng had left the range of his sword moves, Ye Ling did not pursue and continued to dance his sword. Without Gu Xifeng to stop him, his sword dance speed became much faster..
Gu Xifeng transformed into a thousand and attacked Ye Ling. His aura was even more ferocious than when he fought Tang Jinge in the first stage. Only when he held two daggers could he unleash his full power..
Gu West Wind's sudden change surprised Ye Ling, and his sword dance speed increased a little..
" Junior Brother, this move is called Book Mountain Overlapping Galaxy Darkness. Take it!" A huge sword Qi swept through the entire arena, making it impossible for anyone below to see the situation on the stage. When the sword Qi dissipated, there was still a thick sword will on the stage, and Gu Xifeng had disappeared..
Ye Ling looked around, but he still could not find Gu Xifeng. He only felt a figure falling from above his head. It was too late to react. Gu Xifeng had hit many vital points on his body..
"Brother Ye admits.
After Gu Xifeng stabilized his figure, he cupped his fists again to Ye Ling, and Ye Ling returned his salute..
" The winner of the second round is Gu Xifeng!" The manager announced..
:.
"It seems that Gu Xifeng really has strength. I don't know how to practice that terrifying speed.".
"I am more and more interested in the kitchen now..
"This kid's moves are also quite strange, not like a chef, but like an assassin.".
This time, no one in the audience mocked and questioned Gu Xifeng's strength. The strong would be respected wherever they went..
"For the third round, Zhang Yuntao versus Xie Zhan, please go up on stage..
Two figures larger than the average disciple stood on the stage, one tall and fat, the other tall and strong..
"Thank you, Tianxuan Pavilion..
"The sky is clear..
After the two of them saluted each other, Xie Zhan immediately waved the huge opening axe and went straight to Zhang Yuntao..
Zhang Yuntao threw the gold dart in his hand into the air. Those hidden weapons did not fall down, but floated beside Zhang Yuntao..
Xie Zhan's attack arrived in an instant. Zhang Yuntao's fat body was extremely agile, and the seemingly threatening attacks were easily dodged. The gold darts kept attacking Xie Zhan from all angles..
Xie Zhan's giant axe was unable to block it completely. With a roar, a powerful Vitality burst out from his body, repelling all the gold darts. However, the gold darts flew back like maggots attached to bones. Xie Zhan exploded several times, but in the end, he still exhausted his strength and had to accept the outcome of failure..
The whole process Zhang Yuntao looks extremely relaxed.
" Zhang Yuntao wins the third round!" The manager announced..
"Xie Shixiong lost a little aggrieved..
"Yes, it's completely restrained, there's nothing I can do..
Many disciples, especially Tianxuan Pavilion disciples, felt sorry for Xie Zhan..
"The fourth match, Xiao Houzai versus Tao Muyao..
Monkey and Peaches came up to the stage and saluted each other..
Monkey grinned..
"Sister Peach, sorry to offend you..
Then he made a charging action. Who knew that Peach didn't give him a chance to accumulate power at all. Holding the Double Ring, he launched a set of flowing attacks at Monkey. Monkey's Hundred Flowers Kill was interrupted and he had to dodge everywhere..
The chase lasted for a long time. Monkey's cultivation was much lower than Peach's. Even though he had a few chances to attack based on his speed, he was still defeated in the end..
" Tao Muyao wins the fourth round!"" Senior Sister Muyao is amazing!"" Our female disciples are proud!".
"It is indeed worthy of being a peach sister, and Xiao Houzai has no power to fight back.".
The female disciples cheered, and the victory of Peach really made them proud..
" Now that the top four have been confirmed, please rest for a moment. The battle of the top four is about to begin! The top four will adopt a mixed elimination mode to determine the final champion..
"cried the steward.
Gu Xifeng and the others took a short rest below the stage. After a cup of tea, the steward called out their names..
"Tang Jinge, Gu Xifeng, Zhang Yuntao and Tao Muyao, please come on stage and begin the final competition..
The four of them stepped onto the stage one after another, without too much communication, and the other three immediately formed a siege to Tang Jinge..
" Forget about the two Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, why is Senior Brother Zhang bullying Junior Brother as well?" Tang Jinge smiled and said. He did not care about this situation..
"I can't help it. I'm a businessman. It's my instinct to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages. Junior Brother Tang's strength is amazing, so he's naturally my priority to eliminate..
Although Zhang Yuntao is only fifteen years old, he speaks with an old air, and with his fat body, he cannot help but feel funny..
Zhang Yuntao's voice just fell, three people at the same time each means to attack Tang Jinge, Tang Jinge without fear, whether it is ring, dagger or money dart, no one can break through his double Ge formed barrier.
" It seems that we have to be serious. Junior Brother, watch this move!" Zhang Yuntao said as all the gold darts returned to his chest. He held the gold darts with one hand and muttered something..
" If you don't cultivate Jindan, don't cultivate Zen; if you don't read poetry, don't cultivate the fields; if you have free time, you sell goods from the south to the north; if you are busy all your life, you are only busy for money!" He threw up the nine gold darts in his hand, and the nine gold darts turned into huge gold phantoms and smashed them at Tang Jinge..
Seeing such power, even Tang Jinge's expression became serious. He unleashed all his cultivation and blocked the gold darts one by one. Under Tang Jinge's special control, the last gold dart bounced back at an extremely fast speed and hit Zhang Yuntao, who had not fully retracted his power. Zhang Yuntao was eliminated! Gu Xifeng and Peach exchanged a glance. Before Tang Jinge could completely stabilize his body, Peach attacked Tang Jinge fiercely. Gu Xifeng retreated and Hundred Flowers launched their attack..
Just as Gu West Wind Hundred Flowers Kill was about to launch, Tang Jinge revealed a bright smile that was hard to detect. There was no trace of instability in his body. At this moment, Tang Jinge erupted with unprecedented powerful attack power. An aura of fighting spirit that seemed to come from ancient times permeated the entire arena..
All Tang Jinge's attacks were directed at Peach alone. He only struck five times and shattered Peach's rings. When the sixth strike was about to hit Peach, Tang Jinge reduced his attack power by half and changed his attack direction. He turned the strike into a slap and hit Peach's back. Peach was eliminated..
It was too late for Gu Xifeng to finish charging up his Hundred Flowers Kill. Seeing Peach being eliminated, Gu Xifeng was anxious, but he was powerless to reverse the situation. He could only pour all his hatred into Tang Jinge's attack..
All the figures in the sky attacked Tang Jinge. Tang Jinge was calm and composed. He waved his halberds to the extreme. The dagger in Gu Xifeng's hand gradually shattered in the constant collision with Tang Jinge. Soon, only two bare wooden sticks remained. Gu Xifeng smiled bitterly and was eliminated by Tang Jinge's fierce attack..
" The final winner of this Galaxy Sect trial is Tang Jinge of Tianshu Pavilion! The winner can enter the Galaxy Sect treasury and choose a weapon as a reward!" The manager's words immediately triggered thunderous applause from the disciples below the stage, especially the Tianshu Pavilion disciples, who raised their heads proudly..
