Chapter 40 Chapter 40 The shame of challenging a lower level
Seeing this, Qi Jiayi had nothing to understand and quickly put the dog into the ring.
He looked at Shu Qianqian again, his eyes were scrutinizing.
With the sword in hand, he pointed it at the other person: "Get out of here, don't force me to hit you."
Shu Qianqian was not afraid of Qi Jiayi at all. She didn't even look at her. She just looked at Xun Li pitifully: "Senior Sister, I have something to tell you. It's very important."
"No, I'm not familiar with the girl, so there's nothing important to talk about." Xun Li simply closed his five senses because the other person was too shiny and had a complex and foul smell.
"Does Senior Sister hate me so much? Or did Senior Sister Qi tell you something?" She didn't look like Qi Jiayi was spreading bad things about her. She explained anxiously, "Her words are not to be believed. Senior Sister, please believe me. I really have something important to tell you."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? She told you to get out." Qi Jiayi was annoyed by these disobedient people.
Seeing that she refused to leave and even lifted her skirt to go up to the ring, Qi Jiayi swung his sword at her, "Are you allowed to come up?"
Shu Qianqian leaned back in panic to avoid the sword that was passing in front of her, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
However, Qi Jiayi didn't give her any chance and kicked her down.
Shu Qianqian did not fall to the ground in a mess. Someone held her waist and protected her as she landed slowly.
She raised her eyes to look at Xia Qingming, bit her lips lightly, and looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't: "Senior Brother Xia."
Xia Qingming called out Chang Mucang and pointed directly at Qi Jiayi: "Qi Jiayi, our engagement was decided by our elders. We have never met before. You should never bully Qianqian. I will not recognize our engagement."
Qi Jiayi was speechless: "If you are sick, go to Yaofeng."
The next moment, Xia Qingming came to her with a wooden warehouse.
Qi Jiayi stopped Xun Li who was about to attack and said, "Senior Sister, let me try."
Xiaojiu was the one defending the ring. After seeing so many fights in other rings, she felt a little itchy.
Xunli retracted his sword and nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."
The sword collided with Changmu Cang, sparks flew, and the eyes of both men were cold, as if they were determined to kill each other.
Qi Jiayi gave it his all from the start, and Xia Qingming naturally showed no mercy either.
The two men fought from the ring to under the ring.
The other disciples cheered upon seeing this.
Some people were also puzzled, "Why don't they fight on the competition stage?" "Wow, a fight between two direct disciples is worth watching."
"I know the chief disciple of Shufeng, who is the other one?"
"Look at the clothes. They are from the Beast Taming Peak."
"You're challenging me above my level, Junior Sister, you're awesome, keep it up."
After hearing about the challenge of crossing levels, other disciples asked and found out that Shu Feng’s eldest disciple Xia Qingming had reached the tenth level of the late Jindan period.
On the other hand, Qi Jiayi had just reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building, which was far from enough.
Qi Jiayi naturally knew the gap between himself and Xia Qingming. More importantly, there was a big gap in their cultivation bases, and the spiritual power stored in their bodies was different.
However, as the fight went on, Qi Jiayi became more and more excited. With the reaction ability she had trained in the demon world, she did not have much trouble fighting against Xia Qingming.
Moreover, she found that her physical and spiritual power were fully capable of keeping up with the other party.
She even had time to provoke the other party: "Xia Qingming, it's a bit embarrassing for you to tie with me, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage."
"You have been busy taking care of Shu Qianqian for the past five years. Have you neglected your cultivation?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you are engaged but you are busy taking care of other women. You have a terrible character."
Xia Qingming's face turned pale: "Shut up."
He clenched his teeth, feeling surprised.
Logically speaking, Qi Jiayi had just reached the peak of foundation building, and her physical endurance and spiritual power should not be on par with his, but that was exactly the case.
He wanted to end the fight quickly, but he couldn't find any flaws. Although her reaction was not particularly fast, she was always able to keep up with him.
And she seemed to feel no pain. She didn't even frown when Mu Cang poked her.
I cut the other's arm with my sword, and you stabbed the flesh with a wooden stick, and blood began to flow.
But no one offered to admit defeat.
Xia Qingming won’t do that, he still has some shame.
Qi Jiayi is even worse at it, but she can still fight.
On the other side, Shu Qianqian saw Xun Li standing alone on the ring, and happily jumped over with her skirt lifted, but unexpectedly she bumped into a shield with a bang.
"Senior sister, senior sister."
"Senior sister, please meet me. I really have something important to tell you."
“It’s about this world.”
Seeing that Xun Li had no intention of paying any attention to her, Black Iron Turtle was about to send her away, but when he heard her mention this world, he changed his mind.
However, Xunli seemed not to have heard it and did not move.
Soon, people from the Discipline Hall arrived.
It was really because Qi Jiayi and Xia Qingming made too much noise.
At the beginning, the fight was a fight of weapons, but later Xia Qingming used a weapon in one hand and magic in the other.
Seeing this, Qi Jiayi followed suit.
The magic was extremely destructive and the competition arena was soon destroyed.
This also attracted people from the Discipline Hall to stop it.
When he was found guilty, Qi Jiayi denied it: "I was defending the ring, and he rushed up to hit me, but he didn't fight me in the ring where I was defending the ring. This is his fault. He didn't follow the rules."
Xia Qingming was furious: "If you hadn't bullied Qianqian..."
"Just shut up. She's not attacking me. Is it wrong for me to kick her off?"
As he said this, he looked at the people in the Discipline Hall and said, "Also, I want to sue the Shufeng's eldest disciple Xia Qingming for cheating. He is at the tenth level of the late Jindan stage, but he challenged me, who is at the foundation-building stage, and he has no moral integrity."
There are three levels. Those in the Qi training stage can challenge the foundation building stage, and those in the foundation building stage can challenge the golden elixir stage.
But it is absolutely unacceptable for a Jindan to challenge a foundation-building level, or he will be called shameless.
Qi Jiayi was about to nail him to the pillar of shame.
The people in the Discipline Hall looked at Xia Qingming, the top disciple of Shufeng, and those upright people had disdain in their eyes.
"Brother Xia, please come with us to discuss the issue of compensation."
Xia Qingming looked at Qi Jiayi angrily, and the latter grinned at him happily.
After getting rid of one, he returned to the ring and found Shu Qianqian still there. "Your Senior Brother Xia has left, why are you still not leaving?"
Shu Qianqian said stubbornly: "I can help my senior sister, but you will only harm her."
Qi Jiayi was confused, but didn't want to say more to her: "Do you want to fight me on the ring, or get out of here."
Shu Qianqian's eyes fell on the sword in her hand that was still dripping with blood. This Qi Jiayi was very evil and had always been at odds with her.
Shu Qianqian bit her lip, and although she looked unwilling, she still left.
When she left, Qi Jiayi put away her sword and said to Xun Li with a smile: "Senior Sister, did you see that? I have become stronger."
She was able to fight with the Jindan cultivator for so long without exhausting her spiritual power.
After seeing Shu Qianqian leave, Xunli released his five senses and praised, "Very impressive."
His eyes scanned her body, "You have even more bad luck than last time."
"Did they gather so quickly?"
Xun Li pinched a soundproof spell, "No, it's only after they get close to you that bad luck gathers faster."
Qi Jiayi hammered her hands, "Senior sister should have told me earlier, then I wouldn't have to chase Shu Qianqian away."
"Don't get too close to her, she's evil."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Senior Sister."
Bad Luck is more than the last time she practiced summoning, so she can summon again. Unfortunately, she is now accompanying the Black Iron Turtle to defend the ring, and cannot leave to summon Yang for the time being.
Qi Jiayi: "I'll go look for my senior sister after I finish guarding the ring. By the way, senior sister, we can just join any team during the team competition."
Xunli nodded, "Okay, that's exactly what I meant."
He had no interest in those.
After chatting for a few words, Xunli left without staying for long.
After releasing the snow dog, Shu Qianqian had already left. He looked normal now, without his eyes being blurry, and he did not look attracted.
With a thud, the shield bounced off the snow dog's head, and the snow dog cried out in pain: "Ah, uncle, why are you hitting me?"
"You don't have any concentration. From now on, I will supervise your practice every day."
"Ah—why?"
Qi Jiayi watched with joy as the Snow Dog howled.
Senior sister was right, Shu Qianqian was very evil. She didn't react to the scent of peach blossoms, but senior sister said it stinked. The Snow Spirit Dog looked like it was bewitched.
It really should practice hard, so as not to act so worthless next time.
The next day, after dawn.
Many disciples came to attack the ring one after another, and the ring on Qi Jiayi's side soon formed a long queue, among which the majority were sword cultivators and physical cultivators.
The Black Iron Turtle guards the ring during the day and is so busy that he has no free time.
Yang Yuyang, Chi Chen and Shen Qiuhe appeared together and were surprised to see Qi Jiayi and the others.
Yang Yuyang couldn't believe it: "Junior Sister Qi? You're not dead?"
He also heard from other disciples of Jianfeng that there was a very generous champion on the competition stage who would give 100 spirit stones to anyone who challenged him, payable immediately.
As poor sword cultivators, Yang Yuyang and Chi Chen were naturally attracted to join in the fun.
I didn't expect that the one defending the title would be Qi Jiayi.
"Brother Yang, even if you know the champion, you cannot cut in line." The swordsman in the queue reminded.
Yang Yuyang couldn't care less about challenging the opponent and getting spirit stones at this moment.
Qi Jiayi came to the side of the ring, "Senior Sister Shen, Senior Brother Yang, Junior Brother Chi, long time no see."
Chi Chen looked up: "Why do you call them all senior brothers and sisters? I am just a junior brother."
"My cultivation level is about the same as theirs." Qi Jiayi blinked.
Chi Chen, who was one level lower than them, "..."
"Brother Yang, you just said that I'm not dead. Who told you that I was dead?"
Su Chuwei had the same tone at the time, and she was puzzled. After she left, did the Heavenly Dao deliberately spread the news of her death everywhere?
Yang Yuyang was stunned by the question. Yes, who said that?
But after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have no impression at all."
He seemed to have subconsciously thought that Qi Jiayi should not be here, or even alive.
Why does he think so?
Shen Qiuhe looked at Qi Jiayi. If it weren't for the snow dog, they wouldn't have recognized Qi Jiayi. She sighed and said, "The little sister from before has grown into a big girl."
Qi Jiayi smiled.
The Snow Spirit Dog looked at the three people, two sword cultivators, and one medical practitioner, and thought the number was just right. He said to Qi Jiayi, "Hurry up and invite them to form a team. Including the three of them, we will have a team of five."
Qi Jiayi looked at the three of them and thought that they were a good idea, since he knew them well, so he invited them.
Yang Yuyang shook his head, "Sorry, we have already formed a team."
Chi Chen smiled and said, "It's a pity that I can't be with you, Senior Sister."
Qi Jiayi shrugged off his teasing and said, "Then it's your loss."
"Where has Junior Sister Qi been for the past five years?" Shen Qiuhe felt a little emotional as she looked at the little girl who had suddenly grown up.
Qi Jiayi made up a more reasonable excuse: "I went out for training."
There are no legends about the demon world in the world of immortal cultivation. Even if she told the truth, no one would believe her.
Moreover, she didn't want to tell others about the demon world. The demon world was a fantasy flower water mirror created by people who plotted against Yang.
She didn't know who was behind the plot. If rumors about the demon world were to spread in advance, it would probably alert the enemy.
"Does going down the mountain to train increase your cultivation so much?" Chi Chen touched his chin and said to Yang Yuyang: "Brother, after the sect trial is over, let's go out to train as well."
Yang Yuyang rarely saw him being serious, and he was not just saying it casually, so he said, "Okay."
The three of them came together with the intention of stealing spirit stones, but they found out that the rich second-generation cultivator who was mentioned by others was actually an acquaintance of theirs, so they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
"Junior sister, why do you have to do this?" Yang Yuyang pointed to the banner above her head.
Qi Jiayi spread his hands: "If it weren't for this, no one would come in the beginning."
Moreover, after announcing that the contracted beasts would be defending the ring, the disciples acted as if fighting with the contracted beasts was a loss of face and a waste of time, and they refused to come.
"Two sword cultivators, come over tonight to practice with Xiao Jiu?" Qi Jiayi said with a smile, "We are old acquaintances. Can you help me? I will calculate the spirit stones for you individually?"
Chi Chen: "Aren't you not competing at night?"
"It's not that we're not competing, it's just that I won't give you spirit stones at night. You two are acquaintances, so it's different." When the time comes, let the two sword cultivators fight together, Xiao Jiu should be satisfied.
Chi Chen has many shady tricks, and he can also give Xiao Jiu a lot of experience.
After making an agreement, the three of them left.
Qi Jiayi began to meditate and practice. She found that although her cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building, when the spiritual power transformed from cultivation entered her body, she did not feel crowded or unable to be suppressed. Instead, her body felt very empty and could hold more spiritual power.
When fighting with Xia Qingming, he learned his pinching techniques, and his body did not feel like its spiritual energy was depleted or exhausted.
Xiaojiu became more and more skilled in defending the ring, and his control over the shield also became more and more proficient and free.
He could even somehow turn a round shield into a square shape, and even control it to fly out.
The sword cultivator who was attacking the challenge was caught off guard.
Snow Dog: "That's awesome, uncle."
Qi Jiayi raised his eyebrows slightly. It was the first time he saw a contracted beast studying magic so diligently and still made him successful.
Other spiritual beasts and demon beasts fight almost entirely by instinct, such as grabbing, biting, tearing, or knocking down, except for those that can spit water or fire.
But they almost all rely on their own physical strength in hand-to-hand combat.
The Black Iron Turtle is completely different. Even though he hasn't reached the Golden Core stage, he has already mastered the use of magic.
Qi Jiayi calmed down and continued to practice without being affected.
"Tifeng, Zhongcang, come and challenge me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Qi Jiayi opened his eyes.
Zhong Cang held two hammers in his hands. His face looked bigger than the one he had seen a few days ago. One of his eyes was black and blue, and there were several bloody scars on his cheeks.
The Snow Dog paused while chewing its snack and said, "He's coming again."
Looking at the horrible injuries on Zhong Cang's body, the Snow Dog swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "This is a man who can do great things."
Not at all fussy.
Zhong Cang did not show any embarrassment after being beaten and injured. Instead, he was quite excited. "I must break your shield today. I will take the ten thousand spirit stones."
"Hey, you big idiot up there, don't you see everyone is lining up? Why are you cutting in line? Go to the back."
"That's right, you can't cut in line."
"Who doesn't want those 10,000 spirit stones? Only you would say such harsh words."
"Go, go, go and queue up at the back."
Zhong Cang was knocked off the stage and looked at the long line of sword cultivators, physical cultivators, etc. who were waiting in line to be challenged.
Zhong Cang was dumbfounded.
Finally, I queued up obediently.
The ten-day defense passed in great excitement. There were only two people on the foundation-building side who stood from the beginning to the end, Qi Jiayi and another sword cultivator.
The arena for the Qi training stage and the Golden Core stage was far away from her, so she didn't know the details.
There will be rewards for those who successfully defend the ring. Qi Jiayi gave them all to Xiaojiu, after all, it was he who defended the ring.
Then I packed up and went down the mountain. When I passed the steps, I watched a play.
Zhong Cang hugged his wife's legs and cried, "My dear, that tortoise shield is too difficult to break. Even a large group of sword cultivators couldn't break it."
The female cultivator was firm: "That's your own incompetence, so just end your Taoist partnership."
Zhong Cang knelt on the ground, hugged the female cultivator's legs, and cried: "No, I just accidentally made a mistake that all men would make. Please forgive me this time."
Xueling Dog said with disdain: "Miss, don't believe him. There are only zero and countless cheating times. You can't trust a cheating man."
After that, she pouted at Zhong Cang: "Don't smear men. Not all men cheat."
When the other party heard the dog barking and looked over, Qi Jiayi quickly flew away on his sword.
Just watch the show, no need to interrupt.
Arriving at the town at the foot of the mountain, Qi Jiayi went to his own shop first, "Boss, my mother..."
The words were just coming out, but I shut up because the person was wrong.
"What would you like to buy, fairy?"
Qi Jiayi looked at the unfamiliar shopkeeper, who was much fatter than the original shopkeeper, and it was obvious that they were not the same person: "Where is the original shopkeeper Zhu?"
"You must be Miss Jiayi, right?" The fat shopkeeper said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhu has been transferred to another place, and I will take over this shop."
"The young lady has not been here before, so she may not know the rules. The things that Manager Zhu prepared for the young lady every month have been taken back by the Qi family."
