Jianshan Tournament 14 begins
"Ha... Huh..." Leng Can yawned, hugged Cong Mo's waist listlessly, and leaned on her.
"Zizi..." Yin Yi stood beside Cong Mo, "If I didn't know that you two were practicing the Way of Mercy, I would have thought there was some hidden secret between you two."
"Whether there is a hidden secret or not, I can't tell you." Leng Can held Cong Mo and moved away from Yin Yi.
Yin Yi looked at them strangely, but didn't say anything in the end.
"Cong Mo!" Ji Shufeng ran over happily. Seeing Cong Mo, her eyes were full of stars. She pushed Leng Can away and hugged her. "How are you? Did you have a good rest yesterday?"
Leng Can stumbled two steps and bumped into a solid chest. Xi Chengming supported him and said, "Be careful."
"Hahaha..." Yin Yi laughed at him, holding his stomach. "Leng Can, you got your comeuppance!"
"Yin Yi." Xi Chengming suddenly called him.
Yin Yi's body stiffened and he looked at the person who came. "Why are you..."
"You want..." Leng Can climbed up from him at this moment, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the voice of the old man Jian Yi that resounded throughout the entire venue.
"Did you have a good rest yesterday?"
The remaining twenty people replied listlessly, "Okay..."
The combined voices were not as loud as that of the old man Jian Yi alone.
The old man Qingyi fanned the flames, "Jianyi, it seems that Jianshan's couch really needs repairing."
"Hey..." Xi Chengming sneered at Leng Can, his eyes drifting towards Cong Mo, "Is this the Cong Mo you were talking about?"
"Yeah!" Leng Can's originally frustrated expression instantly turned into pride. "That's amazing! Just wait to be beaten to a pulp when the time comes."
"I'll wait." Xi Chengming was clearly unconvinced. "What competition did you pick yesterday?"
"Find the real culprit."
"Me too." Xi Chengming looked irritable. "I was the last one to guess right. I'm speechless. My brother actually likes the housekeeper, and the concubine likes the younger sister."
"Um"
Leng Can thought his story was shocking enough, but Xi Chengming's was even more unacceptable. "Then your murderer is..."
"Ahem..." The old man Jian Yi gave the two of them a cold look, "Please listen carefully, contestants. Now I will explain the rules of the competition."
The two men shrank their necks and stopped talking.
The old man Jian Yi read out the rules.
"The remaining twenty players will compete in a five-on-five duel. They will pair up and form four teams. A draw will determine the order of each team's duel. The teams will then compete in a one-on-one Blade and Soul challenge. After the teams are formed, each player's Blade and Soul attributes will be displayed. The order of each player will be determined by the team. This competition will consist of four rounds. The order can be changed in each round, but once the order is decided, it cannot be changed. The team that persists to the end wins. The team will receive rewards based on the number of wins in each round. After three teams are eliminated, the remaining five players will have their final match format decided by the players off the field."
"Next, everyone will decide on their teams. Once you've chosen your team, you can enter the illusion and prepare for the Sword and Soul battle."
"Brother," someone called out to Xi Chengming, "would you like to team up with us? There are three of us here who are skilled in magic. We're all familiar with them, so we can discuss countermeasures."
"I…"
"Sorry!" Leng Can put his arm around Xi Chengming's shoulders. "He has decided to join our team."
"Brother, is that true? We..."
Xi Chengming smiled and said, "Sorry, I really want to join their team."
Turning around, she complained to Leng Can, "When did I say that?"
"No matter what, I've made the decision for you." Leng Can let go of him, ran to the other side and grabbed the confused Yin Yi, and said triumphantly, "Don't hesitate. Although I don't have a good impression of you, I invite you to join us."
"I refuse." Yin Yi glanced at him sideways, then turned to look at Cong Mo. "Cong Mo, I'm on the same team with you. We've fought before, and you know I'm quite skilled."
Ji Shufeng echoed from the side, "I'll follow Cong Mo too."
Cong Mo looked at the two of them, then pointed at Leng Can, "I'll listen to Xiao Can."
The meaning is very clear.
Ji Shufeng winked at him and said, "Leng Can, I'm staying here, you can't chase me away."
"No need to rush. With Yin Yi, there are exactly five of us. It depends on whether he is willing or not. After all, I have to be in this team."
Yin Yi looked at Leng Can who was looking at him with his chin lowered, "..."
"Beg me." Leng Can laughed, not hiding his evil intentions at all.
"Never mind, I..."
"Why are you so stubborn!" Leng Can held him back. "Are you stupid? Xiaomo is here to reassure you, but you still want to leave. Is there a hole in your brain?"
"you…"
"Old Jian Yi!" Leng Can didn't give him a chance to speak, raising his hand and shouting, "We've decided! I, Leng Can, Cong Mo, Ji Shufeng, Yin Yi, and Xi Chengming are one team."
"Okay." The old man Jian Yi flicked his sleeves, and scrolls appeared in the hands of several people.
Opening the scroll, they entered a fantasy world.
The illusion here is an aerial battlefield. There is a large battlefield surrounded by small fairy platforms on all sides, surrounded by a transparent fairy energy barrier. They landed on one of the fairy platforms, and sword spirits flew out of the swords one after another.
Transparent fonts appeared in the middle of the fairy platform, which displayed the attributes of the sword spirit of the team.
Cong Mo: Fire Metal - Fireworks
Leng Can: Ice Element - Dusk Snow
Ji Shufeng: Wood Series——Muxi
Yin Yi: Medicine-based healing - Quan Wen
Xi Chengming: Earth Element - Great Strength
"Spirit stones are useless." Leng Can pushed Ji Shufeng away and moved closer to Cong Mo. "What should I do? All these things you gave me are useless."
"It's okay." Cong Mo patted his hand soothingly. "The team with the most victories is the winner. Our team's sword spirits have different attributes, so we have an advantage."
She looked at the cute little Quan Wen beside Yin Yi. He was half a head shorter than her, with human-like ears and a dark brown body. He was floating in the air and looked around timidly. "Yin Yi, Quan Wen should be able to do more than just heal. Since you are here, you must have prepared a response."
"Yeah." Yin Yi embraced Quan Wen and explained, "Quan Wen looks cute, but that's just appearance. Her real strength isn't her healing ability, but her ability to poison her opponent while healing herself. My Quan Wen's poison is one of the best. While it's not a direct attack, it's still a very good ability. And she can heal your sword spirits after they're injured."
Leng Can quickly produced a healing spirit stone, "We can also use this when we consume spiritual energy. It will help us recover faster."
The remaining teams entered slowly, and the old man Jian Yi urged the entering teams to discuss the order of appearance in the first round.
Cong Mo rubbed his chin, thinking about the order of appearance. "Yin Yi, you go first."
"Me?"
Cong Mo nodded. "Healing sword spirits are rare to begin with. There are only a few of them in the entire Sword Mountain. People have never seen them, let alone understood them. Furthermore, Quan Wen has a gentle appearance, so they naturally look down on her, becoming arrogant and ignoring her. This is when Quan Wen can seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and we can easily win the first round."
"Xi Chengming, you'll take the second round," Cong Mo continued. "If they lose the first round, we'll take the second round more seriously. We'll send out a sword spirit with a completely different image. They won't know how to respond, and we'll catch them off guard."
Xi Chengming looked at the sword spirit beside him, almost half a body taller than him, made of stones piled up to form a huge body, and chewing on his fingers. He smiled helplessly and said, "My Dali has nothing special but great strength and strong defensive abilities. It can be said that he is the complete opposite of Ayi's sword spirit. I guarantee that this mission will be completed."
"Fight quickly and decisively. If you encounter an opponent that relies on speed or ranged attacks, try to kill them with one strike. Then let Quan Wen heal them. Don't expose too much of your strength." Cong Mo said, "I'll take the third round. I'll finish them off as quickly and ruthlessly as possible, making them wary. If we win all three rounds, the remaining two will have an easier time. The fourth one is Mu Xue."
Leng Can replied, "Okay."
Cong Mo looked at Mu Xue, "Mu Xue, you're good at using water and snow to create scenes, making them grand and impressive to scare the enemy and then take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."
"Mu Xi will stay last." Cong Mo patted Ji Shufeng's shoulder. "Mu Xi is only slightly older than Quan Wen. This is Jianshan after all, so most of the people who stayed are from Jianshan. I just took a look and there are only a few from Shushan. Xiao Can and I are from Wuqing Dao, and Yin Yi is from Yaoshan. Ji Shufeng, you are from Jianshan. Jianshan will definitely understand you better and will leave no room for you. If the four of us can win, you can surrender then. There is no need to overdraw your strength."
Ji Shufeng nodded seriously.
Everyone agreed to listen to Cong Mo's arrangements and had no objection.
Elder Jianyi reiterated the rules of the competition, "The Jianshan Competition is divided into four specific rounds. Each round is determined by the number of wins, and the corresponding teams are eliminated in order."
"Please decide your order for the first round and enter it on the Sword and Soul display in the middle of each Sendai."
Cong Mo lined up the troops one by one and instructed them, "In the first round, we must maintain our physical strength and spiritual power. This is our only chance to show our prowess and wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. In the subsequent battles, the teams will get to know each other better and become stronger. Once we know their weaknesses, they will be very difficult to deal with. Only in the first round can we relax a little."
Xi Chengming's admiration for Cong Mo grew stronger and stronger. He called out to her, "Cong Mo."
"What's wrong?"
"You are amazing. I admire you very much."
"Thank you." Cong Mo suddenly pushed him down gently. "You have a clairvoyant spirit stone on you. Check their order in that direction."
Xi Chengming laughed out loud twice, he never thought that he could be useful in this way.
"The first one is...wood, the second one is..."
Before he could even look, Sendai raised a barrier, blocking his view.
Xi Chengming: “…”
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. This kind of barrier can only let you see outside from the inside, but not inside from the outside." Cong Mo was halfway through his words when Leng Can pulled him aside to whisper.
"Cheng Ming, I didn't expect that we could still fight together until now." Yin Yi walked over quietly and bumped into his shoulder.
"Hmph..." Xi Chengming leaned aside and turned his head away with disdain. "If you can't help me succeed this time, we still can't reconcile."
Yin Yi sighed helplessly, "Brother..."
"Don't be so intimate."
"Then you just called me Ayi."
"That's a misunderstanding."
"you……"
"What are you two talking about?" Ji Shufeng made a "hush" gesture to the two of them. "Master Jianyi is about to speak, so keep your voice down."
Xi Chengming and Yin Yi smiled at each other and said nothing more.
"Each team, please elect a captain and inform me."
