Chapter 110: Defending the Ring
"Xu Qiuqian? Which Xu Qiuqian?"
"Is it the Xu Qiuqian I know? The mortal store manager?"
The attention of other monks who were not paying attention to Arena No. 4 was drawn to it after hearing these words.
There is no other reason, it’s because the No. 4 ring ended too quickly.
While the two people in the other arena were still testing each other and getting used to their new weapons, the fight here was already over.
Everyone looked over and was surprised to see that Xu Qiuqian was indeed wearing blue clothes.
"Is it really her?"
"Isn't she a mortal?"
"That's right! This female cultivator has clearly reached the fourth level of Qi Refining!"
People were talking about it, and some were speculating whether Xu Qiuqian on the stage was the mortal store manager who cooperated with several major families. However, after seeing Xu Qiuqian's cultivation level, they denied it.
Even if a mortal has spiritual roots, it is absolutely impossible for him to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining in such a short time.
However, the quick battle on Arena No. 4 still aroused their interest.
A considerable amount of attention was focused on stage number four.
They wanted to see how Xu Qiuqian defeated the sixth level with only four levels.
"The second defender of the fourth ring, Xu Qiuqian, and the first challenger, Liang Fu, come on stage!"
On the stage, Su Yu was stunned for a long time.
He stared at the bloodstain on the back of his hand. What was going on?
Why did he lose control of his opponent in an instant? His hands loosened involuntarily at that time, which gave Xu Qiuqian the opportunity to take advantage of. Otherwise, he would never have lost!
Yes, he is at the sixth level of Qi training, and Xu Qiuqian is at the fourth level. How could he lose?
Then there is only one situation left.
"You cheated!" He raised his head suddenly and looked at the elder of the Xiao family, "She cheated!"
The elder of the Xiao family said solemnly: "Xu Qiuqian did not cheat. Please step down and make way for the next competition. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
This is a competition organized by several major families, and the cultivators dare not disobey.
But the elders of the Xiao family said that Xu Qiuqian did not cheat, so what was going on?
He looked at Xu Qiuqian and said unwillingly: "I lost this time because I was too careless and I was not good at using the magic weapon and was not familiar with it. Otherwise, I might not have lost."
Xu Qiuqian was surprised.
"You were careless? But you clearly used all your strength in your last attack. If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if they were at the same sixth level, they might not be your opponent. It's ridiculous that you are not good enough with the magic weapon. This is your first time using the Shadow Moon Blade, isn't it also my first time using it?"
"I..." Su Yu opened his mouth and found that he had nothing to refute.
"Then how did you beat me?"
Even Xu Qiuqian said that he used all his strength. Even a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining might not be his opponent. How did Xu Qiuqian beat him? "It's very simple. I used a little force to move a heavy object."
Su Yu was stunned.
He wanted to ask more, but the challenger Liang Fu had already come on stage, and the Xiao family elders urged him to go down again. He had no choice but to suppress the many confusions in his heart and leave the stage.
Liang Fu picked up the Shadow Moon Blade on the ground.
"The second match on the fourth ring, Xu Qiuqian versus Liang Fu, begins!"
Liang Fu was concentrating his attention completely. He had just watched the competition between Xu Qiuqian and Su Yu from the audience. Su Yu, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, lost. He was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. He must not underestimate the other person just because his cultivation was lower than his.
What's more, Xu Qiuqian's strange body movements made him even more wary.
The blade of Shadow Moon Blade was held in front of him with its blade facing outward, alert to Xu Qiuqian's every move. He could not act rashly and had to remain constant in the face of all changes.
In just a few breaths, Xu Qiuqian realized that Liang Fu's magic weapon should also be in the shape of a scimitar.
And should be quite experienced.
He held the scimitar in a standard posture, with his back slightly arched and the blade facing outward in front of him. This way, even if she attacked suddenly, he would have enough time to respond.
Unlike Su Yu's power attack, Liang Fu prefers defense.
In this case, she has to take the initiative.
This was not a difficult task for her, who had experienced many battles.
This round of the ring match seemed to be a reversal of the previous one, Xu Qiuqian attacked, Liang Fu defended and dodged, and looked for opportunities to take advantage of.
But no matter how he tried to lure him, Xu Qiuqian did not reveal any flaws while attacking.
Time passes by little by little.
A quarter of an hour is neither long nor short. In a fight, things change rapidly and a small detail may lead to a complete loss.
But if the cultivation levels of both parties are equal, the only thing they can do if they want the other party to reveal a flaw is to wait.
But today's competition only lasts for a quarter of an hour.
Sweat was pouring down his forehead.
Liang Fu was anxious.
If he didn't injure Xu Qiuqian with Shadow Moon Blade within a quarter of an hour, he would lose! He didn't want to lose!
Moreover, in the process of using the Shadow Moon Blade, he fully felt that the Shadow Moon Blade was very suitable for him. His previous magic weapon was a scimitar, but that magic weapon was at most a basic magic weapon. It was broken during the previous operation in the Fierce Wind Forest to deal with monsters and could not be used.
The Shadow Moon Blade was very easy for him to use, and he had heard about its effects before, so he wanted it even more.
He came here with the goal of winning ten times to get the Shadowmoon Blade!
He can't lose!
So he needs to stay calm and not be impatient. Yes, he needs to be impatient.
However, the opposite happened.
The more he forced himself to stay calm, the more anxious he became as the quarter of an hour approached.
Xu Qiuqian naturally noticed it as well.
When Liang Fu was defending against her attack again, he was too impatient and chose to act rashly, revealing his flaw.
The ending is set.
"The defender of ring number four, Xu Qiuqian, successfully defended the ring! This number of successful defenses counts as one!"
The monks who were watching the competition were all in an uproar.
A cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining not only successfully challenged a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining to become the defender, but also successfully defeated the cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining?
Even if the difference between the Qi Refining Stages is not that big, it shouldn't be to the point where one can win so easily, right?
"You lost." Xu Qiuqian reminded the dazed Liang Fu.
Liang Fu came back to his senses and smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I lost. It's because I'm not strong enough."
"It's not that you're not strong enough." Xu Qiuqian corrected him seriously, "It's that you're too impatient. The more impatient you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. If this was a life-or-death situation, you would be dead now."
She reminded him.
Although Liang Fu couldn't beat her even if he didn't make any mistakes, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything great if he didn't change his character.
This is just an ordinary ring match.
If it is a life or death decision, it will become a fatal flaw and may even result in death.
Liang Fu realized that Xu Qiuqian was warning him.
He woke up suddenly.
Yes, he had been lucky before, and although he was vaguely aware of it, he always felt that it was not a big deal. As long as his cultivation level improved, this would be just a small shortcoming.
Now it seems that this shortcoming is very fatal!
Liang Fu nodded solemnly, his eyes showing gratitude: "Thank you for your teachings, fellow Taoist!"
Seeing that Liang Fu understood, Xu Qiu smiled and said, "No need. The purpose of this competition is to have friendly exchanges among everyone. Just stop there."
It was just a casual remark to her.
As for whether Liang Fu listened or not, she didn't care.
It seems that Liang Fu has listened to him.
Good.
Liang Fu was about to step down when he suddenly remembered something. He raised the Shadow Moon Blade in his hand and looked up to ask the elder of the Xiao family.
"Can I buy this Shadow Moon Blade?"
