These thirty-four people can be considered the elites among the young disciples. Basically, everyone of them is capable and few of them are truly weak.
The competition will only get more intense in the future, and Jiang Li’s next opponent will be the disciple with thunder attribute spiritual roots.
Jiang Li glanced at the other person and found that he was also looking at him. A flash of lightning flickered in the other person's palm, and then he made a demonstrative gesture towards Jiang Li, as if he had him in his hands.
Thunder is extremely hard and masculine in nature, and can suppress all evil things between heaven and earth.
Not to mention ghosts and zombies, even ordinary old locust trees in nature will often be struck to death by lightning because of their characteristic of gathering negative energy.
Jiang Li, who has the Yin attribute of Wood, is practicing the Ghost Wood Technique. According to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, his degree of restraint is probably "twice as weak as thunder".
Jiang Li still remembers clearly the experience of being nearly struck to death by lightning in Yunxi City at that time. He didn't know the extent of that person's lightning.
Jiang Li was a little concerned about this, but not too worried.
If the opponent is in the Foundation Establishment stage, Jiang Li might still have trouble, but if he is only in the Qi Refining stage, it would be difficult to pose a substantial threat to him even if the attributes are restrained.
After leaving the venue, Elder He held a celebration party in advance in the Demon-Suppressing Hall.
Because up to now, whether it is the Qi Refining Stage Martial Competition or the Foundation Building Stage Martial Competition, the number of disciples from the Demon Subduing Hall is the largest.
Especially in the Qi Refining Stage, eight out of the thirty-four players were from the Demon Subduing Hall. This data was outstanding among all the halls.
This also allowed Elder He to gain enough face in front of the elders in Changqing Palace.
But Elder He also knew that if he waited until the next game, the data would probably suffer a disastrous defeat.
After all, the disciples of the Demon-Slaying Hall are slightly stronger than the disciples of other halls because they have been carrying out demon-slaying missions for many years, have rich combat experience, and are proficient in Taoism.
Their efforts are through blood and sweat, and their advantage is that their average strength is stronger.
But the world of cultivating immortals is not a place where everything can be changed by hard work.
Talent, resources, magic weapons, these things are far more important than blood and sweat.
Although it sounds cruel, it is the truth. The disciples of the Demon Subduing Hall will undoubtedly have an advantage over other ordinary disciples.
But as the martial arts competition progressed, those who remained were all elites and the treasures of other halls.
In comparison, the resources and treatment that ordinary inner disciples of the Demon Subduing Hall can enjoy are definitely inferior to others.
Therefore, Elder He did not demand too much from them and happily scheduled the celebration party for today so that everyone could have fun in advance.
The rest of the things can be left to the genius. Anyway, the first place in the Qi Refining Stage will be secured by the Demon Subduing Hall.
In response to this, Elder He had a kind talk with Jiang Li and threatened that if he failed to get first place, Elder He would personally come to heal his broken leg.
As for why Jiang Li broke his leg, Elder He just left a mysterious smile.
This early celebration banquet lasted until very late and was very enjoyable. When Jiang Li returned to his own courtyard, his status bar showed that he was drunk.
Only a few of them who are physical trainees have a faster metabolism, otherwise it would affect the competition on the next day.
After Jiang Li skillfully activated the formation, after five seconds, the drunken state was removed and his slightly drowsy brain instantly became clear.
After entering the quiet room, he sat cross-legged and communicated with the parallel consciousness of the Five Elements Peak of Shushan.
Then, paragraphs of text and images were transmitted without any obstacles.
That was what the parallel consciousness had learned in the Five Elements Peak of Shu Mountain during this period of time.
Among them was a wood-attributed sword-cultivation technique, which he had obtained from his junior fellow apprentice Mu Xingfeng after much effort on his part.
Jiang Li doesn't have the sword heart, so it is naturally impossible for him to change his martial arts.
However, the Shushan Five Elements Peak was passed down from the ancient Shushan Immortal Sect. Some individual chapters in their skills and some secret techniques of Shushan still have considerable reference value to Jiang Li.
However, the Shushan sword techniques were mostly peaceful and rarely contained life-burning skills, which made Jiang Li somewhat disappointed.
After stuffing a few more tasks into the parallel consciousness, Jiang Li had a rare sleep.
In his sleep, his consciousness seemed to have turned into a wandering soul, floating in the yard, playing a treasure hunt game.
. . . .
The next morning, Jiang Li and his fellow disciples arrived at the venue.
He skillfully jumped onto the A-shaped arena. There were many more grooves on the arena, and it seemed that the fighting in the past few days was quite intense.
"Demon Subduing Hall, Jiang Li. I hope you can give me more guidance, Senior Brother."
Jiang Li remained polite while standing on the stage.
"Foreign Affairs Hall, my name is Ma Donggui. I don't deserve your advice. I want to apologize to you first."
The disciple with thunder attribute spiritual root had dark and rough skin, and when he smiled, his mouth opened wide, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. At first glance, he looked like an honest farmer, but the lightning that flashed in his hands from time to time still showed his extraordinaryness.
"Why do you say that, brother?"
Jiang Li was very considerate and continued the other party's words.
"I've seen your magic fight. Brother Jiang Li, you are indeed very strong. If you hadn't run into me, you would have been able to successfully enter the next round of the martial arts competition."
"So I want to apologize to my junior brother in advance."
Don’t be fooled by this senior brother who looks honest and simple and keeps saying “I” and “I” all the time.
This guy is really good at pretending.
"I see. Brother, there is no need to worry too much about this. The next round of the martial arts competition will be a ranking challenge system. Although you lost today, you still have a chance in the next round."
There was no harm in talking nonsense. The senior sister from Huichun Hall beside him had heard so many of them in the past few days that she had become numb to them.
The gong was struck, and the magic battle officially began! Five Heart Thunder! Ma Donggui, the Thunder Spiritual Root, was really insidious. He had already prepared the spell in his hand at some point. As soon as the gong was struck, he raised his hand and a thunder spell shot directly at Jiang Li.
Pah pah pah pah! The five heart thunders are emitted from the fingertips. The electricity moves with the heart and hits wherever the finger is pointed.
Five lightning bolts instantly hit the place where Jiang Li was originally standing. Immediately, a burning smell filled the air, and the ground of the arena that had been reinforced by rune formations was also hit and five charred pieces appeared.
But Lei Guang's target is no longer where it was.
Ten meters laterally, Jiang Li stood there loosely. He waved at Ma Donggui, signaling him to continue.
The speed of lightning is so fast that if Jiang Li wants to avoid it when the thunder method has been activated, it will be very difficult.
But no matter how fast lightning is, the reaction speed of the person controlling it is limited.
Ma Donggui relied on the power of his thunder magic to defeat his opponents. His previous opponents were only average in strength and were always defeated by his thunder magic.
This guy's actual combat experience was ridiculously poor. He just stood there chanting spells and making hand gestures, and the idea of attacking was completely written on his face.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
This made it extremely easy for Jiang Li to predict his actions.
Lightning flashed continuously on the ring, but Jiang Li's figure was like a phantom, appearing and disappearing on the ring. He always managed to avoid the opponent's lightning strike and looked relaxed and comfortable.
Jiang Li even once dodged to Ma Donggui's side and patted him on the back, almost scaring him to death. But for some reason, Jiang Li did not knock him down directly.
Instead, he dodged leisurely as if he was playing a game with the other party.
"Is all you can do about it?"
A few minutes later, Ma Donggui was already sweating and panting, while Jiang Li was still standing there intact, with not even the corner of his clothes being torn.
It seems that the advantage of the lightning attribute spiritual root is speed, but the disadvantage is also speed. Is it going to be unable to hold on for just a short while?
Therefore, fellow female practitioners must be careful and must not look for such a partner.
But since he said so, Jiang Li stopped dodging. This was a good opportunity for him to try out how powerful this mutated spiritual root was.
In addition, Jiang Li had a little idea. Lightning can strengthen the body. This is almost a consensus among time travelers. He also wanted to try it. Does this lightning attribute spell have the same effect?
Jiang Li stopped dodging. After practicing the Body Domination Technique, he stood there waiting for the arrival of the thunder technique.
Papapapapapa! When Senior Brother Lei Linggen saw that Jiang Li actually stopped, he was overjoyed. The next moment, five more lightning flashes flashed and hit Jiang Li directly.
White smoke rose up, and Jiang Li's white disciple uniform also had five more burnt spots. It looked like the power was really not small.
It actually hurts quite a bit.
After enduring five bolts of lightning, Jiang Li silently felt the feeling of electric shock.
As expected of a thunder spell, its penetrating power was truly incredible. Physical defense was useless in the face of thunder and lightning.
After all, whether you can conduct electricity or not has no direct connection with how strong you are.
If you want to defend against lightning, you have no choice but to use spiritual energy.
Jiang Li's Wood Yin Spiritual Qi was restrained by the opponent. He needed to spend several times more energy to resist and dissipate the five lightning bolts composed of spiritual energy.
This has greatly reduced Jiang Li's defense against lightning.
In addition, Jiang Li's Body Domination Technique was not yet mature, so the five lightning bolts that hit Jiang Li were not completely blocked, and some of them still leaked into Jiang Li's body.
Jiang Li only felt a tingling sensation wherever those electric currents passed, and his muscles were slightly damaged and twitching under the stimulation of the electric currents.
A state called [Mild Electric Shock] popped up on the panel at the right time. The current of this intensity only slowed down Jiang Li's body by about 3%.
However, due to his super strong physique, this electric current could not cause him more injuries, nor could it strengthen him in the slightest.
Could it be that the strength was not enough? Jiang Li was a little unwilling to give up on the effect of lightning, so he reduced the power of the Tyrant Body Technique to allow more lightning energy to flow into his body. But apart from the stronger slowing effect, there was still no strengthening effect.
Jiang Li frowned, feeling a little disappointed.
But then again, if lightning body forging is so easy to do, then why doesn't Ma Donggui train himself?
I can't even use my lightning to train my body, so it's even more impossible for me to do that to my enemy.
What kind of person would invent a spell that makes the enemy stronger the more he chops? Jiang Li didn't want to get entangled with the other party anymore, so he made a hand seal and triggered a previously set arrangement.
With a loud bang, a flame suddenly expanded from behind the Thunder Spiritual Root disciple Ma Donggui, blasting him forward fiercely.
The sudden explosion caught him off guard and he flew to a place not far in front of Jiang Li. The clothes on his back were all burnt and he lay on the ground, unable to stand up again.
It turned out that when Jiang Li approached the other person just now, he patted the other person on the back, and at that time he stuck a piece of talisman paper on Ma Donggui's back.
Jiang Li has always been a cautious person and basically won't do anything without being sure.
After all, his spiritual root attributes were restrained by the thunder magic. He wanted to use his body to try to withstand the thunder magic. If something went wrong, Elder He would not let him go.
So to be on the safe side, Jiang Li pasted a piece of talisman behind the other person in advance.
That way, even if he was controlled by thunder magic, he could directly detonate the talisman paper to rescue him.
There were many disciples around who saw Jiang Li's little movements behind the opponent, but Ma Donggui obviously did not notice the changes in the audience. Perhaps when he wakes up he will not know how he lost.
I'm stuck in a writer's block today. I can't write anything. I'm so tired. Please give me monthly votes and recommendations, comrades.
