Chapter 29
's resounding victory caused a sensation!
One hour later.
The first round has ended.
One hundred and twenty-eight people advanced.
One hundred and twenty-eight people were eliminated, eighteen of whom died and twenty-one were disabled.
Of the seeded players from Shiyang Academy, only Gu Lin, Zhao Yao, and Zhu Yuting advanced.
The rest of the contestants were eliminated one after another, while Li Jiuzhi lost his life.
In the entire first round, only five people received the most attention.
Yan Xu, the most popular member of the Yan family in Chuwei County!
Overlord Chu Sheng!
Prince Zhao Yao!
Orderly Prince Li Zhixu!
And the proud daughter of heaven, Song Shiwei!
Among the top fifteen odds in the outside gambling dens, only Cao Wuji was eliminated and lost his life because of it, simply because he was unlucky enough to encounter the Kirin Prince.
After the first round, the 128 finalists are ready.
Nearly 100,000 spectators were still engrossed in the lottery-drawing ritual, their eyes glued to the instruments.
They naturally hope for a clash of titans!
Of the 128 matches in the entire first round, only the match featuring the Prince of Qilin was a true visual feast.
Zhu Baihu of the Wendao Academy stepped forward and said in a booming voice:
"Round two begins!"
The moment the words left his mouth, two stones shot out from the magical artifact.
The first round featured sixteen arenas and thirty-two participants.
I didn't get Gu Lin.
Zhu Yuting encountered the second hero of Taikang, who was at the peak of the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. After two moves, he was covered in blood and decisively admitted defeat.
Back on the platform, Zhao Yao glanced at him sideways:
"Don't worry, the Zhao family has already signed a contract; you will definitely get the job as the ghostwriter!"
Zhu Yuting bowed deeply, expressing his heartfelt gratitude:
"I swear to follow Prince Qilin to the death!"
At that moment, he knew that his previous decision was incredibly wise!
They gave up a chance in exchange for a promise from the Zhao family.
Only by truly participating in this battle of geniuses can one realize how difficult it is, with countless stronger peers falling by the wayside.
He couldn't help but glance at Gu Lin, who was not far away.
Do you regret it?
If a contract had been signed at the county government's household registration office at that time, the position of ghostwriter would have been easily obtained, given the terrifying strength displayed by the Kirin Prince!
The first round has concluded, with sixteen players advancing to the top sixty-four.
At this moment, the sixteen finalists were filled with excitement, their eyes brimming with anticipation.
Win again.
As long as they win just once, they're guaranteed to be ghostwriters!
The second round, second match, will continue with the draw.
"Gu Lin, Wei Xiangsi."
The two stones shot out, heading straight for the number one dueling platform.
"Wei Xiangsi!" Yan Shouxu, Wei Xuan, and the others gasped in shock.
Ninth level of Qi Condensation Realm!
The odds are 15th highest!
The direct grandson of the Supreme Elder of the Tianyin Sect!
On the stands, the elders of the Tianyin Sect suddenly stood up.
"Who is Gu Lin? I seem to remember him." Someone asked in surprise.
A beautiful woman pursed her lips and said respectfully:
"A month ago, his strength was only at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm. In the last battle, he displayed the inner energy of the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. I personally came to the Gu family to invite him to join the Tianyin Sect, promising generous conditions, but he declined."
"Unexpectedly, Young Master Wei ran into him!"
Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed and showed no signs of tension.
The beautiful woman immediately added:
"This young man's greatest advantage is his exceptional willpower. In the willpower test at Shiyang Academy, he surpassed even the Kirin Prince Zhao Yao!!"
Someone frowned, but their brows quickly relaxed.
If they were at the same level, Young Master Wei would indeed be restrained, but the difference in strength is too great to pose any threat!
On the high platform, as Gu Lin stepped onto the No. 1 dueling arena, a handsome and dashing young man slowly walked over.
He stared at Gu Lin for a long time.
"Thump—"
The drums suddenly sounded.
Wei Xiangsi's black hair danced wildly, her robes fluttered, and her aura surged like a tsunami, spreading out with the power to shake mountains.
Gu Lin touched the ground with his toes, leaped into the air, and unleashed a thunderous roar with his right leg, delivering eighteen consecutive kicks in mid-air.
call--
He ruthlessly kicked away the energy!
Wei Xiangsi took two steps back, her chest aching slightly.
"Seventh level of Qi Condensation Realm!" The onlookers in Shiyang County were utterly incredulous.
Even County Magistrate Zhao and Dean Yan were shocked.
Could it be that Gu Lin was hiding his true strength throughout the academy's selection competition?
It was impossible to break through four realms in just one month, which overturned their understanding of cultivation.
Seventh level of Qi Condensation Realm?
Li Qingwu was filled with hatred and rage, her whole body trembling. How vicious this beast was! He clearly possessed the strength of the seventh level of Qi Condensation Realm, yet he insisted on publicly humiliating her with the strength of the third level of Qi Condensation Realm, ruining everything for her and making her a laughingstock for everyone!
"Heh..." Zhao Yao let out a short, soft laugh.
No wonder he was so arrogant; it turns out he was already at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, and he thought he could make a name for himself in the Holy Land Selection Tournament.
Does someone at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm have the right to be arrogant?
That's absolutely ridiculous!!
Zhu Yuting stared at the number one dueling platform.
Although Gu Lin's cultivation level surprised him, the outcome was not in doubt. The first move was just a test, and Wei Xiangsi only used 30% of her strength.
really.
On the dueling platform, Wei Xiangsi chuckled. This opponent was no ordinary person, and it seemed unrealistic to expect to defeat him in the least effortful way.
Then let's strike with lightning speed!
Wei Xiangsi opened all her acupoints, and her internal energy transformed into ripples like water. Gusts of cold wind howled like ghosts from hell, and the terrifying sound waves even affected the two adjacent dueling platforms.
"It's the howling wind from the Ghost Prison!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Countless viewers turned their attention to Channel 1.
This move is the signature technique of the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect!
The ghostly wind howled, and the sound waves were filled with mysterious and malevolent power. Once the opponent was trapped in the illusion, his skin and flesh felt cold, and his internal organs were shattered!
"Close the acupoint!"
"Close your hole quickly!"
Many onlookers instinctively shouted that, according to legend, if one encounters the howling wind of the Ghost Prison, one must seal one's acupoints to block the sound waves, otherwise the consequences will be dire!
Gu Lin remained motionless, as gusts of cold wind assaulted his acupoints, causing each acupoint in his body to rumble as if desperately resisting the terrifying howls of ghosts.
The Higashiji xiezhi robe stood below the stage, closing his eyes listlessly.
He was about to declare Wei Xiangsi the winner.
Once the acupoint is closed, Gu Lin will definitely be seriously injured!
But if it were a genius, 99% of them would choose to close their acupoints to block the ghost's howl!
Seeing that his opponent did not move, Wei Xiangsi moved left and right like a ghost, his pace faster than a flash of light, and his slender ten fingers flicked lightly.
In an instant, the continuous sound waves transformed into a dense array of sword strikes, the sword cries resembling ocean tides, the sword strikes surging like waves, precisely piercing Gu Lin's every acupoint.
"The Song of the Rising Tide!"
"It is the most renowned 'Sea Tide Song' of the Heavenly Sound Sect!"
Many powerful figures were amazed, and some even couldn't help but clap their hands in praise.
Wei Xiangsi, oh Wei Xiangsi, you are simply a genius!
Once the Ghost Prison Wind Howls, the opponent's only option is to close their acupoints to reduce the damage and preserve their internal organs and flesh.
But once the cave is closed, and the tide rises at sea, the opponent becomes a fish to be slaughtered.
Two cups of poisoned wine, you must choose one.
What a brilliant offensive!
Wei Xiangsi is only ranked fifteenth in the odds, which is far too low!
Dongji Xiezhifu raised his hand to disperse the sound waves below the stage to avoid affecting the adjacent arena, but his gaze froze and his expression became very surprised.
Gu Lin appeared completely unaffected, focusing intently on dodging the dense barrage of sonic sword strikes. His internal energy surged like a spring, and he continued his eighteen consecutive aerial kicks, accumulating immense blood and energy, making the thunderous sound several times louder.
"He did not close the acupoints."
"He was not affected by the sound waves at all."
"Playing the lute to a cow?"
While pondering to himself, Dongsi Xiezhifu couldn't hide his smile.
Gu Lin is indeed very strong!!
On the dueling platform.
The Nine Heavens Thunder God Leg drew graceful arcs and slammed directly into Wei Xiangsi's shoulder. With a cracking sound of bones breaking, Wei Xiangsi's body was sent flying several feet like a kite with a broken string.
"I...I give up!" Wei Xiangsi roared hoarsely, her face full of despair as she stared at the figure.
The warrior in his xiezhi robe stepped onto the dueling platform and announced in a loud voice:
Gu Linsheng advances to the round of 64!
At this moment, tens of thousands of people stared at Gu Lin in disbelief.
The tide of battle turned in an instant.
It wasn't just a reversal, it was a complete crushing defeat!
What they saw as a sure defeat was nothing more than a game to Gu Lin.
That's right, it's just playing around!
They're completely manipulating Wei Xiangsi!
He was completely unaffected by the howling winds of the Ghost Prison!
A Qi Condensation Realm seventh level cultivator actually stepped over a Qi Condensation Realm ninth level cultivator to enter the top 64?!
This Gu Lin, his name isn't even in the top thirty?
Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Lin strolled leisurely back to the high platform.
The reason why my willpower is so strong is only partly due to the righteous spirit of opening up the literary palace. The biggest reason should be the absolute confidence that the Book of Merit gives me. Confidence means an indomitable willpower.
Unlike his previous silence after the battle, many eyes are now fixed on Gu Lin.
Even the most outstanding talents like Chu Sheng and Song Shiwei were curiously observing this Qi Condensation Realm seventh level cultivator.
Shiyang Academy only had ten spots for the competition, and everyone was so focused on the dazzling Qilin Prince that they overlooked this other person.
As Gu Lin walked towards them, Zhao Yao's eyes sharpened like knives, and he sneered:
"Wei Xiangsi lost to a piece of trash like you; he's truly incredibly unlucky!"
He knew that the man surnamed Gu had a special opportunity that forged his willpower; otherwise, how could he have been frustrated?
Since he has a strong will, he can definitely suppress sound waves. Wei Xiangsi is completely bound by shackles and chains, and can't exert even 40% of her strength against the person surnamed Gu.
Let the guy surnamed Gu squeeze into the top 64 by luck!
Gu Lin remained expressionless, his mind clear, and returned to his seat.
Wei Xuan, Lin Yan'er, and the others had complicated expressions. No one had expected that, apart from Zhao Yao, Gu Lin would be the one from Shiyang Academy to enter the top 64.
As the Holy Land said, luck is also a part of strength. Although Gu Lin did indeed use his terrifying willpower to restrain Wei Xiangsi, if his strength was insufficient, Gu Lin would have been defeated in the first probing move.
"congratulate."
"congratulate."
Yan Shouxu, Wei Xuan, and the others offered their congratulations with smiles, but their smiles carried a hint of bitterness.
Their own failures were certainly upsetting, but the success of their fellow students was even more heart-wrenching!
Zhu Yuting lowered his head, his eyes filled with sadness. He hadn't expected Gu Lin to be more dazzling than him.
If Gu Lin wins another match, he can secure the position of ghostwriter!
"I hope I don't draw a weak character." Zhu Yuting moved his lips, and his heart began to pray.
He felt immense pain because he had paid a huge price to obtain the Zhao family's promise, while Gu Lin refused on the spot, saying he could get the spot on his own.
......
In the stands of nearly 100,000 people, the name Gu Lin caused a sensation.
What was the ranking before the competition?
Many people were flipping through the booklet.
"Rank 128, Gu Lin!"
He was ranked 128th, but now he has entered the top 64. The key is that his opponent in the draw is Wei Xiangsi, who is ranked 15th!
Is Gu Lin about to create a miracle, managing to secure a ghostwriter spot despite being predicted to be outside the top 100 in the competition?!
"It's very difficult!" someone with good connections said quickly.
"The Tianyin Sect revealed that Gu Lin's greatest advantage is his terrifying willpower. He was just incredibly lucky to draw Wei Xiangsi, and Gu Lin completely suppressed Wei Xiangsi's trump card."
"Wei Xiangsi miscalculated and paid the price for his arrogance. He tried to win quickly with a single, powerful strike to gain more time to recover. If he had dragged the fight into a prolonged battle, he would have surely won with his superior internal energy!"
Seeing that his analysis was reasonable and well-founded, many onlookers nodded in agreement.
It was just luck.
No wonder he was ranked over 120 before the competition and actually had a chance to compete for the ghostwriter position!
The first round has ended.
One hundred and twenty-eight people advanced.
One hundred and twenty-eight people were eliminated, eighteen of whom died and twenty-one were disabled.
Of the seeded players from Shiyang Academy, only Gu Lin, Zhao Yao, and Zhu Yuting advanced.
The rest of the contestants were eliminated one after another, while Li Jiuzhi lost his life.
In the entire first round, only five people received the most attention.
Yan Xu, the most popular member of the Yan family in Chuwei County!
