The Baiyujing competition is approaching.
Compared to the high morale of Shushan and the complaints of Penglai, the atmosphere among the Foundation Establishment disciples on Kunlun's side was obviously much more indifferent.
To some extent, on the one hand, it is the demeanor of the so-called "leader of orthodoxy" at work, and on the other hand, it is also the style brought about by a certain great chief.
Even Chief Qiu, who was asked by the head of the sect to win the first place in the competition, was so calm. How can we be as hot-blooded as the Shushan ruffian, or as self-pitying as the Penglai weakling?
Therefore, although Perry did not make any explicit requirements on this, everyone unconsciously began to pay attention to their own demeanor and style, for fear of losing face for Kunlun.
Junior Sister Xu also knew that Master Ziwei had issued a military order: Qiu Changtian must get first place. He couldn't get second place, or 1.5th place, or even be tied for first place with someone else, no room for negotiation.
Therefore, even though Qiu Changtian said he was "99%" sure, Junior Sister Xu did not dare to ask directly, but still dragged him to combat training every day, and asked the Tiannan Xu family to continue collecting information on the contestants for reference by Senior Brother.
Naturally, Qiu Changtian was not interested in this information at all.
I've said it twice! If Sister Xu were to say it a third time, that would be too much!
In short, Qiu Changtian was confident enough to take first place. The reason he practiced with Junior Sister Xu was to help her gain combat experience so that she could take fourth place like she had done in history.
"Brother, look." During the break, Xu Yinglian showed Qiu Changtian the Phoenix Clan's skills that he had memorized from the secret realm of Guangming Palace. "I have basically mastered the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire."
"What technique should I learn next?"
The Phoenix Clan's martial arts is Xu Yinglian's absolute secret. If it were leaked to the enemy, they could potentially develop a method to restrain it.
Therefore, Xu Yinglian showing him his skills was undoubtedly a manifestation of some kind of "husband and wife being one".
Qiu Changtian naturally wasn't the type to be pretentious. After taking the jade slip, he began to carefully browse through it with his spiritual sense.
"Learn this. The Fire Escape Nine Numbers Technique." He said quickly.
"Learn the art of escape?" Xu Yinglian was a little surprised. She originally wanted to learn another attacking technique.
"Yes." Qiu Changtian smiled and said, "This escape technique is most suitable for you at this stage."
If someone else said this, Xu Yinglian would probably sneer at it. Because with her strong personality, her first thought when facing an enemy is always to attack, and running away is not on her list of options.
But when Qiu Changtian suggested learning the art of escape, Xu Yinglian thought about it seriously and felt that it seemed to make some sense.
Firstly, the fire escape technique must be performed in the fire, which is a somewhat harsh condition. However, Xu Yinglian's Great Light Fire has a very wide range, which provides a very suitable environment for fire escape.
Secondly, the single-target attack power of the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire is very strong. Xu Yinglian chose this Taoist method in order to match Qiu Changtian's Five Thunders Orthodox Method.
However, the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire requires the true essence to be compressed nine times continuously, and there are certain defects in its display speed.
If we can make use of the mobility of the Fire Escape Technique, we can make up for the slow activation of the Akabane Nine Phoenix Fire to a great extent.
Thinking of this, Xu Yinglian decided to learn the Nine Fire Escape Technique... because she thought about it and believed it was necessary, and definitely not because it was recommended by her senior brother.
After a while, the Baiyujing competition finally arrived.
Thousands of Kunlun Foundation Establishment disciples stepped onto the sword light and flew towards the southeast.
The leader of the team is Miaofa Zhenren from Kunlun, who was born in the Discipline Hall and has always been fair and strict, so he is very suitable to serve as the referee for the subsequent competitions.
When the team arrived near Mount Tianmu, they discovered that the Kunlun base was located in an open space at the top of the mountain, and many houses had been built using earth-based Taoist methods.
Two Kunlun Immortals went to the entrance of the secret realm and used magic weapons to keep the secret realm open. Several Shushan Immortals who came here in advance transported the huge Jade List magic weapon in.
Qiu Changtian didn't have time to care about those trivial matters, because many disciples came to visit Chief Qiu, hoping to learn some experience in fighting before the competition.
He continued to receive visitors until late at night, and Xu Yinglian rarely lost his temper and got angry, so the visitors left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
The next morning, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian entered the Baiyujing secret realm together and prepared to start drawing lots.
It was not until the jade list emitted thousands of streams of light that Qiu Changtian reached out and grabbed the sword.
It’s number one indeed.
He went to the first pavilion, and saw that the opponent was also a Kunlun disciple. Seeing that his first match was against the chief of the Qiu family, he immediately bowed with joy and said:
"Brother Qiu! It is my great honor to have the chance to fight with you!"
When Qiu Changtian saw that the person was actually his fan, he could only smile and say a few words to him, and then the two of them began to compete.
Since this was the first battle of the Kunlun Foundation Establishment Realm Grand Chief, the high-level stands inside the attic were already densely packed with spectators.
The vast majority were Kunlun disciples, and a small number were monks from Shushan and Penglai. As Qiu Changtian drew out the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, deafening cheers from the Kunlun disciples broke out in the stands.
The monks from Shushan and Penglai looked at each other in bewilderment: This great chief of Kunlun Qiu, not to mention his strength, has such a grand display!
Seeing that the Kunlun disciple on the field took a defensive posture, Qiu Changtian chose to attack first with his sword.
Since he is a person with a clear mind of Taoism and he practices the immortal secret method "Nine Heavens Pure Land Realm Mantra", the public believes that his true energy is far more abundant than ordinary, so he can act boldly and without holding back like Luo Yan did.
Qiu Changtian circulated his Qi along the lines of Kunlun sword-wielding technique, and his whole body's true energy was invigorated. He used the Tianyuan Yiqi sword to perform a move called "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", shooting it straight at the Kunlun disciple opposite him.
The disciple quickly flew over to block with his sword, but his sword was knocked away in an instant, like an egg hitting a rock.
The Tianyuan Yiqi Sword continued to move forward with unabated force, piercing straight into the ground in front of the Kunlun disciple, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
Qiu Changtian: ...
This Tianyuan Yiqi Sword is truly worthy of being the treasured sword of the ancient witch clan's powerful masters. It does not use any fancy Taoist or forbidden techniques at all. It is all about great power, hard steel, and brutality!
It is extremely consistent with the style of my Chief Qiu.
"Kunlun, Qiu Changtian, wins." As the mechanical voice issued the verdict, the Kunlun disciple on the opposite side also came forward. There was no shame or reluctance on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "The chief's strength is beyond my reach."
"Thank you." Qiu Changtian said modestly.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of Kunlun disciples rushed down from the stands, surrounded Qiu Changtian, and congratulated him in unison:
"As expected of you, Chief Qiu!"
"The Chief will definitely win this competition!"
Qiu Changtian had to deal with all kinds of situations and couldn't escape. Fortunately, Xu Yinglian arrived in time again and rescued Qiu Changtian from the enthusiastic embrace of fans.
"Are you suffering from your fame now?" After leaving the attic, the two men flew up on their swords, and Xu Yinglian laughed.
"I can't help it." Qiu Changtian said helplessly, "Although I want to be low-key, I can't stand my strength and prestige. I really want to switch with you, Junior Sister."
Xu Yinglian remained silent, feeling secretly angry.
