Chapter 172 She doesn't deserve it at all!
"It's a nice day today."
Today is also the first day that there are no restrictions on the arena competition, and basically all the monks who had come before have come.
Hong'an Street is very lively.
Because everyone knows that there are no restrictions on magical instruments on this day, and they can even be freely matched, the enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.
The previous restricted items have already made them fully understand the usefulness of these things, but if there are two items, what effect can they produce?
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
"Qiu Qian, are you going to compete on stage today?"
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
She had been training her body on the way there and back, and had been practicing these past few days, so she planned to take advantage of these few days to improve her body training to the first level, third stage.
Li Shiqian smiled and said, "Then you have to be careful. Arena No. 2 is not as easy as Arena No. 4."
Those on the No. 2 arena are basically all close to the foundation-building stage. Whether it's cultivation, fighting, or close combat, they all have certain strengths and means, and it's easy to lose if you're not careful.
She would go to the ring to compete almost every day when she had free time, but she had never successfully defended her position.
"Sister Qiuqian will definitely win." Yun Yi is very confident in Xu Qiuqian.
"That's not necessarily true. Don't underestimate the cultivator on the second stage."
Xu Qiu smiled: "Then I'm looking forward to it even more."
It can allow her to refine her body and improve her stage, so why not do it.
She used to think that the competitions on Arena No. 4 were too easy and hoped that Arena No. 2 would give her a surprise.
As for defending the title, to be honest, she doesn't care.
She was trying to improve herself.
However, successfully defending the title would help the development of the grocery store and the plans for the last day, so she would try her best to defend the title successfully.
So, when everyone saw Xu Qiuqian standing on the No. 2 stage, they were all extremely surprised.
Some time ago, it was very surprising to see Yun Yi, who was at the 10th level of Qi Refining on the 3rd ring , suddenly drop to the 4th level and run to the 4th ring. Everyone thought that he had made a mistake in his cultivation and his cultivation level dropped temporarily. Didn’t they see that his cultivation level recovered to the 6th level in a short time? But Xu Qiuqian was only at the 4th level originally. How come his cultivation level increased from the 4th level to the 12th level after not seeing him for more than 20 days? !
"Did she suppress her cultivation before?"
"That's too much of a bully!"
Disciples from several major families heard the discussion and explained, "I heard from the clan leader that she was indeed only at the fourth level of Qi Refining at the time."
"Then why is she on the twelfth floor now?"
"Everyone has good opportunities, not to mention that the things she sells on the second floor can also improve your cultivation in a short period of time."
That's true.
Everyone was envious.
You say, it only took more than twenty days to go from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the twelfth level of Qi Refining! What does more than twenty days mean? Some people may not be able to improve two or three levels in more than twenty years!
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel nauseous.
At this time, Xu Qiuqian had already come on stage.
Looking at the monks competing with her, everyone shook their heads.
"I think she's going to lose her first challenge."
The defender is named Duan Yuang. He is a sect disciple who passed by here from another city. He is at the peak of Qi Refining. He successfully defended the title yesterday and his strength is obvious to all.
Ever since Duan Yuang successfully defended his title six days ago, he has successfully defended his title for six consecutive days.
If it was Xu Qiuqian who stole the limelight in the first few days of the competition, then it was Duan Yuang who stole the limelight in the past few days.
Duan Yuang had also heard of Xu Qiuqian.
He smiled at Xu Qiuqian.
"I heard that this restricted fighting competition was proposed by Manager Xu. It's very interesting."
Xu Qiu accepted Duan Yuang's praise with a smile.
"What a coincidence, I think so too."
Hearing this, Duan Yuang thought Xu Qiuqian was also quite interesting.
He asked curiously, "Weren't you on the fourth stage before? Why are you suddenly on the twelfth floor? Is it really like those people said, that you have some opportunity?"
Xu Qiuqian tilted her head in confusion: "Can't I practice it myself?"
“It took more than twenty days to cultivate from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the twelfth level of Qi Refining?” Am I crazy or are you crazy!
Obviously, no one believed it.
Xu Qiuqian couldn't possibly tell him the truth, so she smiled and said, "Anyway, the fact is that I have reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Duan Yuang tactfully didn't ask any more questions, and only said: "Even if you are at the twelfth level of Qi Refining and were very powerful in Arena No. 4 before, I'm sorry, I'm here in Arena No. 2, so you will never be the defender."
Very confident.
It is not blind self-confidence, but confidence in one's own strength.
Xu Qiuqian doesn't hate it.
But who doesn’t know how to say harsh words?
"Really? Then let me tell you, I not only want to be the champion, but I also want to defend the title successfully."
After the words fell, not only Duan Yuang, but even the monks under the stage shook their heads.
"Does she really think that the competition on Ring No. 2 is as easy as that on Ring No. 4?"
"That's right! Fellow Daoist Duan, quickly teach her a lesson!"
There are also people who support Xu Qiuqian.
"Come on, Manager Xu! We believe you can successfully defend your title. How can a guy from the outer city be so arrogant?"
"That's right, let's teach him a lesson and let him know that the monks in Youling City are not so easy to bully!"
For a moment, the atmosphere was heated up by the harsh words of the two people.
"Stage No. 2 defender Duan Yuang versus challenger Xu Qiuqian, the competition begins!"
Xu Qiuqian was concentrating.
She said it lightly, but when it came to the real competition, she never looked down on anyone.
As for Duan Yuang, he was much more relaxed.
Perhaps it was the easy defense of the ring a few days ago that made him feel that the cultivators in this remote city were indeed not that good, and Xu Qiuqian, who had just reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, was probably still in the adaptation period, and would definitely be confused in the fight.
He admitted that the things sold in Xu Qiuqian's store were pretty good, including the idea of the spirit-summoning formation, which was also very good. Some of the rare treasures on the second floor were so rare that even he was amazed that Xu Qiuqian could have them.
But, that's just good stuff.
He even had time for a joke.
"These past few days, I have been competing with a fellow Taoist named Li Shiqian every day. I heard that she is a clerk in a grocery store."
"right."
Duan Yuang clicked his tongue and then shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qiuqian was puzzled.
"I don't know why Manager Xu wants her to be the manager of the grocery store. I mean, her aptitude is poor and her cultivation is average. Her strength is even lower than that of the other clerk. She is far inferior."
The other clerk was talking about Yun Yi.
The monks below the arena as well as Li Shiqian and Yun Yi who took time out of their busy schedule to cheer Xu Qiuqian on heard it clearly.
The monks in the audience nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, I also think that Li Shiqian is not qualified to be a clerk in Manager Xu's store. Manager Xu and another clerk are both very capable. They have successfully defended their positions several times. They are both very capable. Only this person is really average."
"That's right. I don't know why Manager Xu wants her to be a clerk in the store. She doesn't deserve it at all!"
"That's right. I heard that she became a clerk because she cooks delicious food. Oh, and you should have heard of Tao Lingwan's wife Li."
"So it's her! Although her cooking is delicious, but other things..."
"I heard that Manager Xu's employees can use the spirit summoning array for free. Manager Xu, look at me. I'm much better than Madam Li!"
Hearing this, Yun Yi looked at Li Shiqian and found that the latter's expression was not right.
