Chapter 755
Qian Ling Zhan Black Robe
"This young man has quite a talent, and his summoned beast is also very special. He is a rare talent, but it's a pity that he comes from a small place. If he could be brought to the capital and trained, his talent would be well utilized."
Li Ruotong was clearly interested in Xu Shisan, attracted by his talent and his summoned beast. She wanted to bring him to the capital for training, and perhaps even get him into the Imperial Guard.
"Sister, if you are interested in him, I will recruit him after the competition ends."
"okay."
Now let's look at the players' seats.
Looking at Xu Shisan, Li An'nan, the Holy Maiden of Linggu, glanced at him with her beautiful eyes. Beneath her bright red veil, she couldn't help but lick her bright red lips.
At this moment, she had already made a vow in her heart to bring Xu Shisan to Ling Valley to become the Holy Son.
In the stands, after the initial shock, the match had to continue.

The teams that make it to the third round are all quite strong, and the matches between strong teams are even more exciting.
Of course, there is still a significant gap between many teams.
For example, of the two teams that drew number 22, one team had only four S-level summoners, while the other team had two SS-level summoners.
This has led to many teams hiding their true strength, with most teams' main players yet to make a move.
This year's Dynasty Conquest Tournament hasn't even started yet.
After a fierce battle, it was soon the turn of the last few teams.
That is, visa number 45, visa number 46, and finally visa number 47.
And the 47th draw was for the black-robed team from the Demon Realm.
After the Black Robe Team from the game "Demon Realm" won the second round yesterday, Empress Li Ruotong devised a plan that very night.
That means secretly manipulating the draw numbers in the Demon Realm, placing it last, and then assigning a strong team to the Demon Realm's black-robed squad.
This time, the team fighting against the black-robed demons' squad was from Qianling Academy.
Qianling Academy was eleventh in the previous Imperial Dynasty Tournament, just one place away from making it into the top ten.
Furthermore, since the top ten teams have not yet participated, theoretically speaking, Qianling Academy is the strongest team outside of the various military region teams.
The Qianling Academy team has two SS-level summoners.
Soon, the game begins.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators in the stands were cheering for Qianling Academy.
The Qianling Academy team received instructions from Empress Li Ruotong yesterday: they must not be careless in their battle against the Demon Realm team, and must go all out to kill them as much as possible.
Therefore, after the match started, the two SS-level summoners from the Qianling Academy team made their move.
The two SS-level summoned beasts exuded immense pressure on the arena.
As for the black-robed team from the Demon Realm, it was the same black-robed man who made the move, summoning his Dark Three-Headed Dragon.
Seeing that the black-robed team had only sent one person to attack, the Qianling Academy team was furious.
This is disrespectful to them!
They are also summoners who look down on the Great Xia!
They look down on the entire Great Xia Dynasty!
"Hmph! These men in black robes are courting death!"
The captain of the Qianling Squad snorted coldly and immediately ordered his SS-level summoned beast and the vice-captain's SS-level summoned beast to attack from both sides, while the other three's S-level summoned beasts carried out ranged attacks and harassment.
The continuous attacks from two SS-level summoned beasts and three S-level summoned beasts completely suppressed the dark three-headed dragon from the very beginning, leaving it powerless to fight back.
However, one of the heads of that dark three-headed dragon kept spewing black gas, constantly gathering defenses around its body.
Although it was forced to retreat, it did not cause any substantial damage.
The members of the Qianling Squad weren't stupid either; they immediately saw the problem. As the captain, Zhang Shihong immediately ordered his men to attack its head, which could spew black gas.
Immediately, they focused their fire on the middle head of the dark three-headed dragon that was spitting black gas.
Seeing this, the man in black robes could only prioritize protecting the three-headed dragon's head, but its body's defenses were greatly reduced, giving the Qianling Squad an opportunity. Captain Zhang Shihong ordered the vice-captains to continue their attacks while he turned to attack the three-headed dragon's body.
In an instant, the black-robed man's dark three-headed dragon was severely injured.
Upon seeing this, the Great Xia audience watching the battle couldn't help but erupt in cheers, once again shouting encouragement for the Qianling Squad.
"Oh? I underestimated you."
Seeing that his three-headed dark dragon had been severely injured, the black-robed man had the head that spewed black energy divert some of the energy to his body to repair the injury.
Immediately, his dark three-headed dragon circled and soared into the sky.
The next second, the head in the middle spewed out a large amount of black gas, which covered the entire sky. The black gas then condensed into two illusory dragons. One of the dragons had a purple body and began to pour endless lightning down on Zhang Shihong and his group of five.
Another dragon, its body glowing red, began to spew out scorching flames.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihong immediately ordered his team to defend.
Although the black-robed man's three-headed dragon attack was powerful, the Qianling team had two SS-level summoned beasts, so defending against it wouldn't be difficult.
After blocking one wave of attacks, Zhang Shihong ordered his team to counterattack again.
And so, the two sides fought back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
The problem is that Qianling Academy has five people attacking together, plus two SS-level summoners, while the black-robed team only has one person.
Five against one, and the fight is still so close.
"Don't waste your time."
At this moment, the leader of the black-robed men spoke to another black-clad man beside him.
"Yes, my lord."
Although they were all men in black robes, the others addressed the leader as "Sir," clearly indicating that the leader was a rank higher than them.
Then, the second man in black robes made his move.

P.S.: Just a quick rant. The decline in readership for this book is not due to the readers' fault; I know it's my own. After the second world was introduced, many people felt the writing was poor and abandoned the book. I know this, so I finished the second world very quickly. I also listened to advice; I just briefly mentioned what you didn't like to read.
I think the story is pretty good in the world of the Great Xia Dynasty. I've thought through all the plot points, especially the Imperial Conquest Tournament, which I've considered for a long time.
From the first round to the last, every battle the protagonist fought was carefully considered by me.
When it came to the third round of fighting the Divine Turtle Sect, some people complained again, saying that my writing was padded, and that I had made three chapters padded out with a big fireball. I thought to myself, do you guys use your brains when you say these things?
The plot needs to transition, right? I can't just have the protagonist encounter a strong team right from the start and then show off his SSS-level strength. Would it make sense to start like that?
Therefore, in the first round, the protagonist encountered Xiangyun Academy and displayed S-level strength. In the second round, he encountered Dongshuang Valley and summoned seven or eight S-level summoned beasts.
In the third round, they encountered the Divine Turtle Sect and displayed even greater strength. In the fourth round, they encountered SS-level opponents. In the fifth and sixth rounds, they progressed step by step, gradually building to a climax.
Am I not allowed to transition between storylines?
Furthermore, those who mention water, if you remove the part of the story involving water, do you see if the context still flows smoothly?
I'm having a romantic scene with Li Anan, and I'm still talking about water when I write about a big fireball. No matter what I write, someone will say it's watery. If you think it's watery, just don't read it.
Originally, when the second world was being written, the reading experience of this book fell apart, and I was planning to quit. However, seeing that many people were still supporting me, I decided not to quit.
Later, I realized I had limited energy, so I changed it to one update per day. Even if it was just one update, I put my heart into writing each chapter and never did it half-heartedly. I also thought about the plot and the summoned beasts every day.
I'm doing this for the readers who have always supported me, for the readers who have persisted in reading. I promised you that I would finish the book, that it wouldn't have a bad ending, and that I wouldn't abandon it. That's why I've been updating it all this time.
Take another look at the books by other authors on QQ Reading, whether they're on the members' list or in the "Today's Must-Read" section. In short, how many of the books you're following on QQ Reading actually finish?
The vast majority either end abruptly or have a poor ending, with a hastily written conclusion.
How many authors like me are still working on the plot after writing 170 million words?
Like I said before, if you really think the plot is weak and there's no progress, then don't watch it. There's no need to threaten me with comments. I won't fall for that. Watch it if you want, and I can't control you if you don't.
The Imperial Conquest Tournament, spanning over ten chapters, covers three rounds and three battles. I believe this update is not padded; if I were to, I could have written seven or eight chapters about a minor plot involving Li An'nan. (End of Chapter)
