Chapter 356: Fighting against the enemy and building the foundation

"Golden Core Stage!?"

"Golden Core Stage before the age of 18? What kind of cultivation talent is this!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that he's a monster!"

“Isn’t this rare in history?”

"Not only that, but according to historical records, it's hard to find a Jindan stage person under the age of 18 in hundreds of years."

People don't know the ages of Lanting and others.

In fact, among the three Lanting people, Bai Ming is the oldest, eighteen years and a few months old, while Lanting and Yan Tianzhi are still a few months away from turning eighteen.

The pressure on the participating monks doubled, especially the seeded players. They were full of confidence and worked hard to build a foundation. They felt that they could definitely defeat many opponents and win the championship.

They never expected that there would be Jindan stage cultivators participating in the ceremony this time.

What kind of luck is this? The foundation-building stage fights the golden elixir stage, and they fight with their heads.

Among the participating monks, only one showed an excited smile and whispered to himself: "Golden Core Stage? Interesting."

He was wearing a black cloak and his face could not be seen clearly.

He was traveling around the mainland and happened to pass by Qingzhou. He saw a grand ceremony being held there and decided to attend it on a whim.

The level of cultivation he showed to the outside world was that of the initial stage of foundation building, but his real level of cultivation was not that high.

His name is Zhou Fangge, and his actual cultivation level is the late foundation building stage.

“I haven’t fought with the disciples of the Immortal Sect yet. Although this Lu Yang is practicing faster than me, in battle, cultivation is not absolute.”

"Even if the cultivation speed is fast, it won't be too fast. The other party should have just formed the elixir."

Zhou Fangge once defeated an early Jindan cultivator. The battle was a little difficult, but he won in the end.

"It's possible to fight."

"Haha, Lu Yang, I hope you are a qualified whetstone!"

…

"Get ready, it will be your turn soon." Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou bumped fists. It was their first time to participate in such a large-scale exchange activity, and it was quite interesting.

"They are all of the same age, and there might be some formidable rivals hiding among them."

Meng Jingzhou smiled and said, "That's true. Didn't I fight with all my strength in that battle?"

They always fought cautiously and never slacked off.

On the judges' panel, Lan Ting watched Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou bump fists, her eyelids twitching. She sent a message to Bai Ming: "When it's Meng Jingzhou's turn, you comment."

Meeting Lan Ting's murderous gaze, Bai Ming nodded heavily and was forced to take on the task.

…

The battle continued, with exciting fights one after another. Facing their peers, both sides dared not let down their guard, and intrigues, calculations, and spells hidden in the dark...

Both sides fought with all their might, which made the monks in the audience extremely excited.

Most of the monks in the audience were in the Qi training stage. They could not have imagined that even in the Qi training stage, there would be such a wonderful fight.

Even the monks from the sects who were responsible for recruiting talents nodded frequently, thinking that the quality of this event was very high.

"The competition is already halfway through. Including the first match, there are already five Foundation Establishment cultivators. In previous years, there weren't so many Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"Who says it's not? Especially the fifth one, who is in the middle stage of foundation building. If it were in the previous sessions, he would definitely be the first place!"

Bai Ming glanced at the list of participants and introduced, "The cultivator participating in this competition is Shang Deshui from Canghai Sect. He is also a widely watched seed cultivator. He is in the initial stage of foundation building. Shang Deshui is proficient in water-related spells, especially his water control technique, which is applauded by everyone."

Speaking of the Water Control Technique, Bai Ming's eyes twitched subconsciously, and he remembered the Water Avoidance Technique that was used by Lu Yang to kill him instantly.

Shang Deshui showed a confident smile. He could sweep everything in the preliminary round in the initial stage of foundation building.

"Shang Deshui's opponent is also a cultivator who signed up for the competition temporarily, Meng Jingzhou from the Daoist Sect."

Meng Jingzhou greeted Bai Ming with a smile on his face.

"Why are there still people from the Wendao Sect?" Shang Deshui's smile froze on his face. If one person is not enough, why two?

Is the Qingzhou Festival a large-scale event that requires two disciples of the Wendao Sect to participate?

Stay calm, stay calm. Being a disciple of the Dao Sect does not necessarily mean that they are in the Jindan stage. It takes hundreds of years to meet someone in the foundation-building stage who is less than 18 years old. The opponent is at most in the late foundation-building stage. There is a chance of winning if you maneuver skillfully.

Shang Deshui encouraged himself and took out a small bottle from his sleeve. The bottle was filled with water from the deep East China Sea that he had bought at a high price. The water was the purest and most suitable for casting water spells.

"Water Control Technique - Snake Imitation!"

Water vapor surged, waves overflowed, and the deep water of the East China Sea turned into a thin line and emerged from the bottle. The deep water of the East China Sea accumulated more and more, and its shape changed, turning into a ferocious python.

"go!"

The python opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Meng Jingzhou at lightning speed, like a raging tsunami, howling. The terrifying aura exuded by the python moved everyone present.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Six Heaven-shaking Moves!"

Meng Jingzhou made a starting move and defeated the python with one punch. The python exploded and turned into rain all over the sky. The force of this punch did not decrease and stopped in front of Shang Deshui. Shang Deshui could not withstand the wind of the punch and staggered back several steps and fell off the ring.

Bai Ming: “…”

You are a Jindan stage cultivator, and you use the Six Heaven Shaking Moves right from the start. People who don’t know would think that your opponent is Lu Yang!

Bai Ming commented seriously, "The mimicry chapter of the Water Control Art is divided into three stages: imitating a snake, imitating a dragon, and imitating a dragon. Generally speaking, one can only enter the Water Control Art in the late stage of foundation building. Shang Deshui was able to perform exquisite water control and imitate a python in the early stage of foundation building. It is really amazing."

"It can be seen that Shang Deshui has been studying and practicing hard off the stage, and he has a very deep understanding of the way of water. This is very rare at his age. I have only seen this level of understanding in a few of my fellow apprentices."

"On the road to becoming an immortal, success or failure is determined by fate. I hope Shang Deshui will not be shaken by this failure and will continue to work hard and delve into the way of water."

"Meng Jingzhou is at the Jindan stage. Comments are complete."

There was an uproar in the audience again, and everyone was full of yearning for the Wendao Sect.

Jindan stage, another Jindan stage who is less than eighteen years old.

Is the Dao Sect so powerful?

There were two peerless geniuses that hadn't been seen in hundreds of years! After the first round of screening, apart from Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, two particularly conspicuous Jindan stage, there were ten outstanding foundation-building stage. As for the fifty Qi training great perfections, no one paid attention to them.

Lu Yang enjoyed the following battles very much. His opponents in the next and the next one were those in the early stage of foundation building.

The advice given by Wudidan is to fight casually.

Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh. It had been a long time since he had encountered such an effortless battle.

Recalling the arduous battle in the Wendao Sect, Lu Yang felt that this kind of battle was suitable for him.

The Immortal Fairy felt very familiar with this scene, as if she had returned to the good old days of ancient times when she could fight against opponents of higher levels. She clamored to fight for control of the body so that she could also experience it.

In desperation, Lu Yang could only give the control of his body in the next game to the Immortal Fairy so that she could also enjoy it.

Meng Jingzhou had a similar reaction to Lu Yang. He thought back to the time when he entered the Wendao Sect and had never had a decent fight with people of his own age, except for the one he had with the Five Elements Sect.

It turns out that it’s so fun to compete with people of the same age.

He was luckier, as his opponents in the next two matches were both at the peak of Qi training.

The three people from Lanting looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou who were grinning from ear to ear and tried to pretend that they didn't know them.

After four rounds of competition, the top eight emerged.

In addition to the undisputed Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, there are also Zhou Fangge who has hidden his cultivation level, one in the middle stage of foundation building, and four in the early stage of foundation building.

According to the rules of the competition, the top eight will engage in a big fight to test the monks' ability to adapt to changing circumstances and their ability to fight in unity.
