C58 secondary competition (1/2)
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the finals. With the experiences of the last preliminaries and three years of hard work, Dong Lang felt less uneasy and more confident. Seeing Dong Lang's state of mind, Shu Yu's heart was very gratified.
Early in the morning, Dong Lang had already arrived at the location his master had informed him at — a small, bare hill. When he arrived there, Dong Lang saw a figure standing in the distance waving a fan. Chi Mo! Why is he here?
”Seeing the incoming Dong Lang, Chi Mo smiled. Brother Dong, how have you been since we parted three years ago? ” Chi Mo waved his fan and said.
Seeing Chi Mo, Dong Lang was no longer nervous, and also smiled: ”Brother Chi Mo, thank you for showing mercy last time.” With regards to Chi Mo's appearance, Dong Lang was not too surprised. Presumably, this was something that his master had done as well.
”Brother Dong is too polite. I have no confidence in defeating you either.” As soon as they met, they began to talk. In a moment, another person came. It was Sun Jian, who was in the red light, and the temperature had risen a lot, but when he reached Dong Lang, the temperature started to drop, and the last bit of the burning sensation was gone. Regarding this, Dong Lang could not control it, just like last time where he almost froze his master, but Sun Jian did not know about this, and treated it as Dong Lang's provocation. With a stomp, flames danced around his body, forcefully raising the temperature. Dong Lang did not want to cause trouble, so he retreated a few steps, to indicate his retreat. Seeing Dong Lang retreat, Sun Jian did not try to force him, so he retreated a few steps, and the tense atmosphere melted away. In the distance, a figure was walking slowly in the air. It was Wu Daozi.
”I pay my respects to Master Ancestor.” ”The three of them knelt down in front of Wu Daozi. ”No worries,” Wu Daozi waved his sleeves, and a gentle force lifted the knees of the three people who were not kneeling.
”Shouldn't the Master Ancestor be around ten people? Why are there only four people here? ” Dong Lang asked somewhat puzzled.
”The other six will be assessed by Shu Yu, the four of you will be assessed by me.” Wu Daozi stroked his snow white beard.
”Let me explain the rules first. Four people, two people in a small group. We can form groups at will and proceed with the group competition. The victor will enter the next round.” Wu Daozi gave a brief summary of the rules, and then began to wait for Yi Peng who had disappeared for more than two years. One stick of incense, two sticks of incense, six hours... While they were waiting, all the ordinary disciples had arrived one after another. On one side was the hidden Chi Mo of the four halls, the orthodox Sun Jian of the five elements, the direct disciple Dong Lang, and the one who had released a great show of brilliance last time. On the other side was the littleleaf rhododendron fruit's Lin Bai, and Yi Zhixi was also present … These two sides were very interesting. However, most of the people still chose Wu Daozi's side, since there was a new rising star — Dong Lang, this battle will determine whether or not Dong Lang can truly win the title of Eldest Brother, if any of the direct disciples did not have the skills, it would be difficult for them to convince the masses.
”If Yi Peng still doesn't come two hours later, then we'll consider it his forfeit.” Wu Daozi said word by word. After all, they couldn't delay the match just to wait for him alone.
However, after waiting for two hours, Yi Peng still had not appeared. ”Alright, I announce, Yi Peng …” Without waiting for Wu Daozi to finish speaking, with a ”dong”, an unknown object fell onto the ground. It was enveloped in smoke and only after the dust had settled did they realize that the person who had just arrived, was Yi Peng!
”Yi Peng, you're finally here. Looking at your current cultivation, you should have broken through the eighth level.” Wu Daozi said while laughing.
”Yes, Master Ancestor. This disciple will use the pain to step into the Dao today and break through to the eighth level.” Yi Peng said somewhat excitedly.
”Alright, you guys go ahead and discuss it. They know the rules now.” After Shu Yu finished speaking, he sat down on the side and closed his eyes to meditate.
The Tragic Fan in Chi Mo's hand should be of the wind attribute, so when you're in my group, the fire will flow with the wind, its power would increase. However, it looks like he's closer to Dong Lang, so I can only be in the same group as Yi Peng. Three years ago, I heard that Yi Peng won against Feng Yang in one move, but now, he has broken through the eighth level, so let's try cooperating a bit. Sun Jian plotted secretly in his heart.
Yi Peng also had no choice, because Dong Lang and Chi Mo had long since stood together.
The two groups were quickly divided. Seeing the people on both sides, Wu Daozi made a calculation in his heart. ”Let's begin.” The moment Shu Yu said this, the two groups of people started to retreat.
”Another tug of war.” Wu Daozi shook his head.
”Brother Dong, what do you think we should do?” Chi Mo spoke first.
”Hmm, it's a good thing that we can take advantage of the situation. My affinity is ice, and yours is the Wind Attribute and the Metal Attribute. Since these two attributes don't require much of a terrain, we'll have the advantage of finding the nearby rivers. As a result, if three occupied two, they could win! Dong Lang said as he calculated. Seeing Dong Lang's appearance, Chi Mo was also secretly shocked, he did not expect that he, who could not even fight back in front of Xun You three years ago, would now have such a huge change in his mental state!
”Right now, I am worried that they might have also thought of setting a trap for us here. If we go and find the river first, they might be able to take the initiative. Yi Peng is of the wind attribute, Sun Jian is of the fire attribute, so the power of Fire Borrowing Wind has multiplied. Their location should be in a place with dense forests, however, the area is too wide, making it hard for us to search. ” Seeing Chi Mo not saying a word, Dong Lang continued to speak.
”I never thought that not only would the Brother Dong be able to see through my two attributes, he even thought of a strategy. He's truly amazing.” Chi Mo cupped his hands.
