Chapter 174 Li Shiqian's Changes
Duan Yuang looked incredulous.
He heard Xu Qiuqian's cold sarcasm and wanted to refute but couldn't find the words to refute.
Because he did lose, and lost completely.
"I……"
"I give up!" Xu Qiuqian said, putting away the Shadow Moon Blade.
The referee was surprised: "Are you sure?"
She had obviously already won. She only needed to lightly cut Duan Yuang's body and she would win. Even Duan Yuang himself looked dejected and admitted defeat.
Now Xu Qiuqian said she wanted to give up? Why? "I don't need your pity!" Duan Yuang blurted out.
Xu Qiuqian looked over in surprise.
"Who pities you?"
Duan Yuang was stunned: "You don't feel sorry for me? Then why do you want to admit defeat?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Xu Qiuqian said impatiently, "Hurry up and make it a quick fight. I still have to watch Shi Qian's match to cheer her up. If I win, you'll have to defend the match, so you won't have time."
"…Is it just because of this reason?"
"What else? What qualifications do you have for me to pity you?"
After saying this, Xu Qiuqian looked at the referee again, urging him with his eyes.
But seeing Xu Qiuqian was so sure, he had no choice but to announce it.
"The defending champion Duan Yuang wins!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuqian turned around and prepared to leave the stage, leaving behind Duan Yuang with a bewildered look on his face and a group of disheveled monks below the stage.
"This store manager Xu is really..."
“Too willful!”
Just admit defeat!
You know, before Xu Qiuqian showed up, Duan Yuang had never lost since he entered the ring! They thought Xu Qiuqian could beat Duan Yuang this time, but who would have thought that she actually admitted defeat! However, even if she admitted defeat, the winner would be Duan Yuang, but they also knew that Duan Yuang actually lost, and lost completely.
And what Xu Qiuqian said to Duan Yuang just now.
"The sect disciples from outside the city are no more than this!"
Xu Qiuqian's words flashed through everyone's minds, and the frustration they had felt over the past few days instantly disappeared. How could they describe it in one word: "Fellow Daoist Xu is so awesome!"
"Friend Xu is so domineering!"
Duan Yuang won, but it felt a million times worse than losing.
On the other side, after Xu Qiuqian got off the stage, he went straight to stage No. 5. Seeing Xiaoyi standing not far from the stage, he walked over.
The other monks were surprised when they saw her.
"Manager Xu, did you lose?" Otherwise, why would you come here so quickly?
Xu Qiuqian ignored him and came to Xiaoyi.
"Xiao Yi." She walked over and asked, "How is it?"
"It's OK, but this won't work."
The one competing with Li Shiqian was a cultivator who was also at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. The one at the twelfth level of Qi Refining had not yet made a move.
After all, it’s just the beginning.
In addition to Xu Qiuqian’s previous remarks, they were afraid that they would be accused of being shameless after they took action, so they simply waited and watched, and let the person at the eleventh level of Qi Refining go first.
Xu Qiuqian watched the competition on the stage.
After a moment, she understood why Yun Yi said it was okay and why he said it couldn't go on like this.
It was okay because Li Shiqian seemed to have the upper hand. The monk was forced to dodge and was defeated. Li Shiqian was also holding back her anger from just now and was now gathering all her strength, so she had the upper hand for a while.
But this can't go on like this.
Although Li Shiqian seemed to have the upper hand, she was actually being led by the nose by the cultivator on the opposite side.
It was very strange that the monk's footsteps seemed to follow some kind of pattern, and as this pattern accelerated, his entire body also gradually accelerated.
Just as she was wondering, she heard the people around her talking: "Fellow Daoist Tian's Shadowless Step has become more and more advanced."
Shadowless Step?
Just from the name, it sounds like it should be a technique related to legs and feet.
It is indeed clever. For those in the Qi Refining Stage, once the legs and feet start moving and forming shadowless steps, the body shape still cannot be captured by others.
"If this goes on, Sister Shiqian will lose." Yun Yi frowned and said worriedly.
If she lost the first game, Li Shiqian would definitely be looked down upon and ridiculed by everyone.
As majestic as she was when she threatened just now, she will be so embarrassed when she loses later. However, they can't do anything in the audience and can only watch with worry.
Soon, the competition entered a white-hot stage.
Xu Qiuqian saw that Fellow Daoist Tian was getting faster and faster, while Li Shiqian was already exhausted from dealing with it and was injured several times by Fellow Daoist Tian.
Fortunately, it wasn't the Shadow Moon Blade that was used, otherwise Li Shiqian would have lost by now.
"I won't fire her even if she loses." Xu Qiuqian said, "But I think she should be able to hold on."
Yun Yi smiled: "I know."
How could the relationship between them and Sister Shiqian be sorned by just a few words from an outsider?
But he was somewhat curious about why Sister Qiu Qian was so confident in Sister Shi Qian.
Is it Sister Qiu Qian’s blind confidence, or is Sister Shi Qian really capable?
While the two were talking, other cultivators were also discussing, and almost all of them thought that Li Shiqian was bound to lose.
Even Tian Wei on the stage felt that Li Shiqian was bound to lose.
But he didn't expect that as his offensive increased, Li Shiqian managed to hold on again and again? How is that possible!
From the moment he started to use the Shadowless Step to speed up, Li Shiqian looked like she couldn't hold on any longer, so how could she stay steady?
He remembered that the last time he competed with Li Shiqian, she had already lost!
Yun Yi in the audience also curiously asked Xu Qiuqian: "Sister Qiuqian, did you know this a long time ago?"
"Do you know that Sister Shiqian can hold on?"
"I have no idea."
"Why?"
"I only know that Shi Qian said that because she was determined to win. Others only saw it as an opportunity to become a grocery store clerk or to become famous, but Shi Qian didn't see it that way.
In order to make others recognize that she is qualified to be a clerk in a grocery store, and to stay in the grocery store to cultivate until she builds her foundation and avenge her Taoist partner, she will stimulate all her potential and try her best to win every game. "
"But her strength..." Yun Yi didn't say the rest, but Xu Qiuqian knew.
"Do you remember the night before the restriction of the magic weapon round shield?"
Yun Yi was startled, then nodded.
That night they studied how to better use the round shield and fought until late at night.
"Did you notice anything when you fought her?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Yi replied, "Sister Shi Qian is a little slow in reacting."
Because of their slow reaction, he and Sister Qiu Qian were able to easily defeat Sister Shi Qian.
He remembered that Sister Shi Qian smiled bitterly and said that she had not fought for a long time and was so unfamiliar with it that even her reaction had become slow.
Yes, my reaction is slow because I haven’t fought for a long time.
But in the past twenty days, Sister Shi Qian has been competing on the stage every day! Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xu Qiuqian smiled slightly.
"It seems you have figured it out."
At this moment, the referee on the stage also announced the result of the competition.
"Li Shiqian wins!"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
