Chapter 237: The Gap Between the Same Realm
"Chen Ruiyang... a member of the inner clan of the Chen Immortal Clan?"
"Yes, they are not the Chen family who changed their surnames, but the real descendants of the Chen family. They won all three games in the group stage."
"I see."
Officials from the Immortal Supervisory Office went to various major fairy gardens to escort the list, instantly making the originally quiet evening lively.
Wen Siyuan also came to Ji You's room at this time, handed him the duel list, and talked to him about the next Chen family member he would meet.
"In the three battles, Chen Ruiyang used the immortal methods used by the Chen Immortal Clan. He is different from the opponents you have encountered before."
"A Taoist technique passed down from generation to generation?"
"Yes, to be precise, it is a Taoist technique passed down from generation to generation."
The Taoist techniques handed down from generation to generation in Qingyun World are extremely scarce, and because there is a gap between heaven and man, many things can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Only when ordinary children from noble families reach the realm of Tao Rong can they refine the techniques through their own comprehension.
However, immortal sects or aristocratic families with profound heritage can indeed pass on their teachings to future generations after thousands of years of accumulation.
According to Wen Siyuan's observation, Chen Ruiyang's combat capability could be ranked as top-notch among the sixty people in the second round, and he could be considered a strong opponent.
"By the way, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. This Chen Ruiyang is the same as you, Junior Brother Ji."
"How is it the same?"
"He is also a figure in the Chen family who once sat and watched the Dao stele."
Wen Siyuan actually didn't know how strong Ji You's combat power was at its peak, let alone how strong those who entered the second round were. He could only tell him everything he knew and let him judge for himself.
Among those disciples of the immortal sects and those from thousand-year-old families, not many have revealed their true strength so far, and some duels require improvisation.
After hearing this, Ji You understood. He knew that the holy weapon held by the Chen family was the Dao Stele, the same as the Heavenly Book of the Heavenly Academy and the Spiritual Mirror of the Spiritual Sword Mountain.
Those who can see their own sacred weapon are all the best among them. Speaking of this will make the opponent more dignified.
Ji You had also experienced this stage, so he naturally understood it.
The list of opponents for the second round has just been released, and naturally there is constant discussion. Many people are secretly concerned about the next opponent that the person they care about will encounter, and they are weighing the gap in combat power and the probability of winning or losing based on their previous understanding.
Meanwhile, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were on the opposite building, looking at the duel list. They already knew that Ji You was going to meet a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and then reported the news to their own appraiser.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain had just "taught a lesson to the man who didn't use the swordsmanship of Lingjian Mountain", and his mouth was red from the lesson. At this moment, his eyes drooped slightly and fell on the list.
At about the same time, the Lou family was also looking at Ji You's name on the list.
Their own genius did not compete in the last round. Although they did not say why, they must be concerned about the opponent he was supposed to meet.
Like them, there are other people who are curious about this name and are looking at the duel list thoughtfully.
The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the Garden of Sages.
Crowds began to gather in the nine major dojos. Although some dojos had fewer people and some had more, the status of the contestants was much higher, so there was no situation like the Cangwu Dojo with only a few scattered spectators.
Ji You had just gotten up and washed up, and was sitting in the house having breakfast when Cao Jinsong, Wen Zhengxin, Pei Ruyi and Ban Yangshu came to look for him early.
They lived in Zhongxing County and were not well-informed. They only knew that the second round of names had come out, but they did not know who was against whom. It was not until they met that they learned from his words that his next opponent would be a descendant of the Chen family.
Moreover, this person did not change his surname later, but was a genuine descendant of the Chen family.
However, after knowing this, Cao Jinsong and others did not say anything or give any suggestions.
Because Cao Jinsong felt that he could no longer give any advice to Ji You now...
Those who have the same mentality include Wen Zhengxin and others who have been following and watching the game in the past few days.
However, Ji You thought differently from what they thought.
"This Chen family member is said to be very strong. I couldn't sleep last night after I got the list. I was very nervous and felt that I might not be able to defeat him."
Ji You was eating rice porridge and couldn't help but say: "I think if we want to increase our chances of winning, we should buy a few sets of magic tools just in case."
After listening to this, Cao Jinsong looked at him and his beard stood up in anger. He thought to himself, this is pure bullshit.
Tiandaohui is such a solemn event, but your mind is full of vulgar things.
Evil disciple!
After breakfast, the five of them joined the crowded crowd and headed towards one of the dojo in the Sages Garden.
There were nine matches in the morning, three at Rong Dao and six at Tong Xuan. Among the six matches at Tong Xuan level, the most anticipated one was the duel between Qiao Mo, a disciple of Shanhai Pavilion.
However, the one who attracted much attention was not him, but his opponent, named Bayan.
The Ba family is located in the northwest of Qingzhou. It is a small and unknown family, only slightly larger than the Qiu family, which is affiliated with the He family and the Zuoqiu family. Logically speaking, the contestants from the Bayan and Cangwu Dojo who are only paid attention to by the family members should be ignored.
But in fact, this Bayan is the most popular figure among the Tongxuan realm contestants of this Tiandao Conference.
Even during the group stage, some people compared him with the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
Because up to now, there are a total of three people in Tongxuan who have broken through before the competition, and Ba Yang is one of them. That is to say, Qiao Mo is not facing a player of the same level, but a player in the initial level of Rongdao.
With a hum, the void vibrated, and a blue barrier suddenly rose from the edge of the circular platform, sealing off the battlefield like an inverted crystal dome.
Qiao Mo, a disciple of Shanhai Pavilion, tapped the edge of the platform with his toes. The blade reflected a cold light, and the sharp aura instantly swept across the platform. The bright cold light instantly ignited the entire circular platform.
"It's Wushuangfeng from Shanhai Pavilion. He was so full of murderous intent when he started."
"After all, you are worthy of being a disciple of the Immortal Sect."
As everyone watched with bated breath, they saw the long sword rushing forward like a mad wolf.
Coincidentally, Bayan, who was at the initial stage of Rong Dao, also used a long sword. As his iron tower-like body leaned forward, the black sword at his waist turned into a black cloud that rolled over the ground and slashed across.
With a clang, the iron knife hit hard.
Sparks flew back and forth as the flickering figures continued to entangle.
Qiao Mo is worthy of being a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Even when facing a strong man who has crossed the threshold of two realms, he remains calm. He clenched the hilt of the knife with his red hands, and when he swung, he was filled with sharp energy. The energy condensed on the blade, and burst out violently during the vibration.
The sharp taste can still make people feel a chill even through the barrier.
Bayan, on the other hand, moved his sword freely and without restraint, with great momentum in his rise and fall, and pressed forward with rage, his body full of wind and waves. Every time he chopped, a gust of wind from his sword was brought up, like the momentum of thousands of troops galloping.
It can be seen that at this moment, neither of them held back, and the spiritual energy in their bodies had been stirred into a huge vortex within the barrier.
The swords they held were so similar that during this fierce battle, some cultivators with weak spiritual power could not even tell who was wielding the sword, and could only hear the sound of the swords colliding.
After several rounds of fighting, the sword became increasingly fierce.
One of the first games of the second round displayed a level of excitement never seen in previous group matches.
The Wushuangfeng that Qiao Mo condensed was one of the techniques passed down by Shanhai Pavilion. It was extremely sharp and had an unstoppable cutting force. When it came out, it trembled like a meteor.
However, as the sword light continued to flash, the faces of the Shanhai Pavilion disciples who came to watch the battle on the south side of the viewing platform changed slightly.
With a bang, the iron knife fell.
Under the fierce blade that could split mountains and rocks, Qiao Mo fell out from the place where the energy was entangled. The iron knife in his hand trembled slightly, and then he flew back. His brows wrinkled slightly while he gasped, and the breath of his whole body became a little disordered.
At this moment, Bayan turned around to release the force, and the iron knife trembled and swung out again in a simple and unpretentious manner...
Seeing this scene, except for the Shanhai Pavilion disciples who were worried about their fellow disciples, the expressions of other Immortal Sect disciples also changed slightly.
Qiao Mo is not the strongest among the four Tongxuan sent by Shanhai Pavilion, but the fact that he can represent the Immortal Sect in the battle shows that he is definitely not a person who has gained his reputation in vain.
Some people have been following him since the previous group stage and know that his unparalleled sword is extremely sharp and can even cut through the opponent's protective aura.
On the other hand, Nabayan actually did not have any sophisticated magic skills. He relied on brute force, and only focused on striking with the sword.
But even so, in the battle between the two men who were one level apart, Qiao Mo still couldn't make up for the difference in the speed of their spiritual energy breathing and the strength of their energy, and was gradually suppressed by the opponent's aura.
Boom! Amid the discussion, a gas explosion suddenly sounded.
The two iron knives on the platform collided violently again. Qiao Mo's mouth was bleeding and his breath gradually became unstable. On the other hand, Nabayan's offensive became more and more intensive...
"The realm gap is really hard to make up. These realm-breaking people who took advantage of the Tiandao Association may become a big trouble in the future."
"Yes, I think some people have begun to be vigilant."
"oh?"
"I just heard someone say that it was too scary and that they couldn't defeat him at all, so they asked the instructor for money to buy a magic weapon. It seemed that they were very scared."
The duel between Bayan and Qiao Mo marked the beginning of the battle of the Tongxuan realm in the Tiandao Association. The fierce sword energy demonstrated the powerful combat power that the Tongxuan realm should have.
In the second round of duels of Tiandaohui, there are also two matches that are worthy of everyone's attention.
One is a duel between Wei Bo, a descendant of the Wei family, a thousand-year-old family in Yongzhou, and Chen Shuo, a member of the Chen clan, at the Qiyun Dojo; the other is a duel between Li Yunlang, a member of the old royal family of Zhongzhou, and Shang Shan, a female disciple of the Wendao Sect, at the Tianji Dojo.
Wei Bo and Li Yunlang are both popular figures in this Tiandaohui showdown and have been watched by people for a long time.
As for Chen Shuo and Shang Shan, they are fighting on behalf of their immortal sect, so their combat power is naturally not weak. It is natural that a thousand-year-old family like this challenging an immortal sect is extremely attractive.
Even those elders with white hair and beards, who looked like immortals, couldn't help but come and stand in a row, either to support or to watch the game.
According to Wen Siyuan's suggestion, after watching the first game, Ji You should go to Qiyun Dojo to watch the fight.
The reason is simple, it's just because Chen Shuo and Chen Ruiyang are both descendants of the Chen family's immortal clan. Since they are from the same lineage, Wen Siyuan feels that there should be similarities between Chen Shuo's methods and Chen Ruiyang's, which can be used as a reference for Ji You.
However, if Ji You chose it himself, excluding other factors, he felt that it would be more pleasing to watch a duel with a woman on the stage...
It is said that Shang Shan looks very good, the type that the Dragon Immortal Emperor would like but cannot lick.
Ji You felt that as a friend, he should go and see the beauty of this world for him.
However, considering that there was a jealous person living in the garden, Ji You still walked towards the Qiyun Dojo with a righteous look and sat in the audience seats with everyone else.
The disciple of the Chen family used a slightly shorter iron knife, which was only slightly longer than a kitchen knife.
It is said that the Chen family's immortal clan uses this kind of short and wide weapons, just like Lingjian Mountain likes to use slender three-foot green blades.
The young man from the Wei family standing opposite him was holding a long sword in his hand.
The knife and the sword are the weapons that are most recognized by all the immortal cultivators in the world and are the easiest to use to carry out the Tao, so the chance of their appearance is very high, unless other weapons are needed to cooperate with the practice of special skills and Taoist arts.
Just like the previous game, both of them started fighting with murderous intent.
There was no hiding, and no holding back.
Because both of them knew that this battle was different from the group match where the strength of the players was uneven, and if they were not careful, they would lose everything.
At this moment, Chen Shuo let out a low shout, and the muscles in his arms became as hard as iron. He attacked with the heavy sword with the force of wind and thunder, and instantly made a loud sound like wind and thunder.
And this Wei Bo was obviously also familiar with swordsmanship. His steps were as steady as the deep sea, and his moves were sharp and powerful. When he swung his sword, a stream of cold light suddenly flashed and followed the blade.
This is the Wei family's inherited Taoist magic, and it is also the heritage of a thousand-year-old family. It is called Tianguang Yin.
Outsiders do not know what specific Taoist methods are integrated, but they can feel a strong air pressure from the Taoist sword that is surrounded by thousands of rays of light.
sonorous!
During the collision, the wind and waves created by the two people collided with each other in an instant.
Chen Shuo's sword power is very strong, which is also related to the Chen family's immortal clan's skills. The direction of the sword, the energy it brings is actually more terrifying than Bayan's.
However, just as the iron knife was about to fall, Wei Bo, whose sleeves were blown up by the wind and waves, suddenly turned his wrist, and the sword of Taoism suddenly changed its moves. The rosy glow wrapped around the blade like a living thing, and took away the knife with a tremendous force.
Chen Shuo suddenly felt a violent tug, and immediately lowered his waist and jumped off his horse, pouring all his strength into the blade, and swung the blade back to cut. The cut light splashed in all directions, so bright that it burned the eyes.
With a clang, the hot iron knife turned back.
Chen Shuo breathed in spiritual energy under his feet, first using the force to increase the distance between the two, then spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, and he turned around and slashed again. His heavy footsteps on the ground directly shook the platform, causing it to rumble.
With a clang, even bigger winds and waves roared in.
Wei Bo immediately gritted his teeth, and slashed diagonally from top to bottom to meet the attack, using his magic to draw the light of the sky to splash out thousands of auspicious colors on the sword.
With a clang, Chen Shuo's iron knife cut into the glow again.
Then came the third strike, with even greater force, which slashed across and cut into the rosy glow, but the blade did not touch Wei Bo.
Seeing this, Chen Shuo's face immediately flashed with a hint of anger, and then he saw Wei Bo swinging his sword, the sword style changed from slow to fast, and the rays of light began to flow continuously on the ring...
Seeing this scene, Ji You's eyes couldn't help but lock on Chen Shuo for a moment, with golden light flashing in his eyes, and he carefully watched Chen Shuo's knife strike several times.
Because of the practice of adding noodles when there is more water, and adding water when there is more noodles, Ji You's mind at this moment can not only capture the trajectory of the knife, but also see the bursts of different qi.
The Chen family's swordsmanship... is indeed as expected, each strike is heavier than the previous one.
However, Chen Shuo did not bring it to its full potential.
It was not because he was holding back, but because his opponent Wei Bo seemed to have been prepared for this and did not leave Chen Shuo any chance.
"That's amazing! I told you I have to save up some money to prepare some magical instruments. I must not take it lightly."
"?"
Cao Jinsong came back to his senses at this time, glanced at Ji You, and couldn't help but secretly think of him as an evil disciple again.
However, although he understood that Ji You was looking for an excuse to rob money, Instructor Cao was still a little shocked, and the same was true for Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu beside him.
Those who can be called disciples of the Immortal Sect in the outside world basically started out as inner courtyard disciples.
And those who can participate in the Tiandao Conference are definitely not ordinary inner court disciples.
Similarly, although the four words "children of aristocratic families" include everyone, in reality, a hundred-year-old family and a thousand-year-old family are not on the same level at all.
They had seen countless Tongxuan realm masters in their daily lives, but it was not until this moment that they understood that these top Tongxuan realm masters, who had been taught magic and had family backgrounds, actually had combat power far beyond their expectations.
This feeling was just like that day in Yecheng Mountain, when those of them who had achieved the Dao in the Immortal Sect were very different from those people in the Immortal Village who had spent years and efforts to achieve the Dao.
In fact, Ji You also had this feeling and began to understand why everyone said that the second round was the real beginning of the Tiandao Association.
Because the two types of battles are actually completely different.
The person his group faced in their first match was Tang Jingming. During the tough talk before the fight, Tang Jingming said that he had watched fights everywhere and felt that he could be no worse than those disciples of the immortal sects if he tried his best.
But now it seems that this may not be the case.
In the first round of the group stage, those disciples of the Immortal Sect did not actually show their full strength, but were hiding their tricks.
Tang Jingming thought he could defeat them with all his strength, but they were just hiding their weaknesses...
The surging spiritual energy, the magnificent fairy light, and the running sword lights and shadows, for a moment, were brilliant and dazzling, making people overwhelmed.
There were many cultivators who had lost in the group stage and were still feeling a little unwilling, but after watching the second round of competition, they suddenly felt relieved and felt that the previous wins and losses were no longer important.
Because they suddenly realized that even if they met inferior players in the group stage and reached the second round by luck, this was probably the end of their journey.
All the children of noble families compare themselves to geniuses, but there are differences between geniuses after all.
(I recommend a friend's new book "Literary Masters of the Great Song Dynasty". The young man was brave and courageous, and his writings made him look down on the princes. He passed Fanlou with a drunken whip, with a Tang style and a Song style! The portal is below↓)
