"I did a rough calculation. If the first challenger finishes nine matches in sequence, and then it's the turn of the other nine people to challenge him, he will have to go through nine more matches. In other words, he will have to go through a total of eighteen matches."
"This is too cruel."
"Eighteen matches per person, one must not be exhausted."
Many people's lips twitched as they listened.
Ye Qiu was somewhat taken aback; the intensity of this competition was indeed very high.
After the rules were explained, the first round of the final competition began with the draw.
During the draw, the literary and martial arts competition areas each drew lots to determine their opponents, because in the first round of the finals, each area would have to eliminate five more people.
Ye Qiu looked at the slip of paper in his hand, which read 'Mu Qingtian'.
Mu Qingtian is the only girl in the essay competition area!
When Mu Qingtian saw Ye Qiu looking at her, she immediately understood that Ye Qiu must have drawn her name.
But Mu Qingtian was not flustered!
If it were a contest of literary skills, she might be a little afraid.
But now, the competition is about cultivation level, and Mu Qingtian feels that she is no weaker than Ye Qiu.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have drawn my name."
Mu Qingtian took a step forward.
"Yes," Ye Qiu said, "Your luck isn't very good."
"No, no, no, you've got it backwards." Mu Qingtian sneered: "It's your bad luck that you were chosen. I should feel a great sense of accomplishment to eliminate a literary prodigy like you with my own hands."
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure you can do it?"
"Dealing with you should be more than enough," Mu Qingtian said coldly.
Seeing the situation escalating into a tense standoff, Xuan Yuanhuo, the head of the cultivation academy, stepped forward and said calmly, "Mu Qingtian, if I remember correctly, you are Mu Xiaotian's daughter, right?"
"It is indeed this junior." Mu Qingtian bowed, and facing Xuan Yuanhuo, Mu Qingtian concealed her sharp edge.
Xuan Yuanhu smiled and said approvingly, "You have a lot of personality, which I really like. Keep it up! If you can eliminate this literary prodigy from Jiedao Academy, it will definitely become a legendary story, and I will personally visit you to reward you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingtian was overjoyed, understanding the unspoken meaning in Xuan Yuanhuo's words.
It seems that Xuan Yuanhuo doesn't like Ye Qiu.
Even his enemy, Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu frowned and glanced at Xuan Yuanhuo.
He had no grudge against Xuan Yuanhuo and couldn't understand why Xuan Yuanhuo would say such things to his face.
Could it be that Xuanyuan Huo and Chang Wei are in cahoots, and Xuanyuan Huo is helping Chang Wei?
But Ye Qiu had no time to think about it, as the martial arts competition in the literary competition area soon began.
The battles were particularly intense, providing a thrilling experience for the audience.
Two hours later, it was finally Ye Qiu and Mu Qingtian's turn to fight.
Everyone was looking forward to this battle.
Because Ye Qiu has demonstrated unparalleled strength in the field of literature.
Therefore, people are very curious about Ye Qiu's cultivation level.
This includes Lin Qingzhu.
Lin Qingzhu stared intently at Ye Qiu, but in reality, she didn't have high expectations for him.
She had already decided that even if Ye Qiu lost, she would still help him get into the Da Long League.
Because Ye Qiu's literary skills are so strong that even if his cultivation level is not high, people can completely ignore his cultivation level and acknowledge that he is qualified to enter the Great Dragon League.
Soon, Ye Qiu and Mu Qingtian stood on opposite sides, facing each other.
With one hand behind her back and the other holding a crimson divine sword wreathed in flames, Mu Qingtian coldly stared at Ye Qiu and said indifferently, "You mainly cultivate the Dao of Literature. If I were to use my full strength to deal with you, it would seem a bit like bullying you. So I will deal with you with one hand and give you three moves first."
"Little sister, don't be too arrogant. I'm blessed with good fortune. Even if my cultivation is lacking, I can still beat you with luck," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"How dare you talk such nonsense! Are you going to lay a hand on me or not? If you're not going to, I won't be so polite."
Mu Qingtian sneered.
"Bring it on, I can subdue you with one hand." Ye Qiu was also arrogant.
"court death."
Enraged, Mu Qingtian drew her sword and charged at Ye Qiu.
Seeing Mu Qingtian charging towards him, Ye Qiu dodged the attack with incredible speed and skill.
Mu Qingtian's sword strike missed its mark, her delicate brows furrowed, and she attacked again.
But Ye Qiu did not retaliate; instead, he retreated and moved closer to the edge of the arena.
This was Ye Qiu's deliberate act, toying with Mu Qingtian like a cat playing with a mouse.
To outsiders, it seemed that Ye Qiu was unable to confront Mu Qingtian head-on and chose to back down.
"Ye Shen's cultivation seems to be really lacking, no match for Mu Qingtian, but his movement technique is quite interesting, very mysterious."
"This movement technique is indeed quite impressive, almost ghostly. It's not simple."
"So Ye Qiu only learned a way to escape? Haha, interesting."
Many people laughed and joked.
Only Xuanyuan Huo's pupils shrank: "This is the footwork from the Dao Explanation Technique. I've seen it before."
Unfortunately, only Xuan Yuanhuo could hear his own mutterings.
On the stage, Mu Qingtian repeatedly missed her target, which made her extremely angry. Her attacks became increasingly fierce and faster, with sword shadows filling the arena.
"You're no good, girl. Your swordsmanship is terrible."
Ye Qiu mocked.
"Shut up and die."
Mu Qingtian shouted and kept approaching Ye Qiu.
"I said you can't, and you just can't. I... ugh..."
Ye Qiu suddenly stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, one foot dangling in the air, and deliberately created an opening.
Mu Qingtian's eyes lit up, thinking that her chance had come.
"Vulcan Sword Domain, Annihilate!"
With a sharp cry, Mu Qingtian raised her sword and slashed at Ye Qiu with incredible speed.
