C733 Losing Just like That
"Victory, Celestial Sect Fighting Door disciple Lu Ming!"
Following Vice Sect Leader Tang's announcement, the entire audience burst into an uproar.
That's right, Qin Loong had lost just like that, and it was a terrible defeat, he hadn't even been able to use his newly forged Three Colours Spirit Qi, and he had already lost already!
At this time, Qin Loong was standing at the top of the fire gossip mountain, looking down at the competition grounds, his face was confused, obviously he had not regained his senses yet.
, who had just saved him, patted his shoulder. He did not say anything, but gave Old Lei a meaningful glance, and transformed into a ray of flame and disappeared.
Old Lei and the other two looked at each other, and then walked forward and imitated Zhan Tian, as they patted his shoulders. Then, they turned and left as well, leaving Qin Loong standing there in a daze.
The spectators were clamoring. Although most of them thought that Lu Ming had a higher chance of victory, no one expected Qin Loong to lose so easily.
Forget about them, even Lu Ming himself was a little taken aback. He knew Qin Loong's fighting strength well, as long as he endured the three layers of Lava Golden Armor or or even if he was a normal Flowing Gold Circle Armor, he would still be able to block Qin Loong's first attack.
As for his second move, Rushing Thunder Blade, Qin Loong should not have received it at all, or even if he did, he should have been prepared to take explosive steps to dodge it in the next moment.
Based on Qin Loong's previous battle prowess and battle tactics, he should be able to achieve this.
However, Qin Loong did not do so twice. At that time, Lu Ming thought that there was some sort of trap or high-levelled move, causing him to almost hesitate, and did not follow up.
Thus, when he finally locked onto Qin Loong and cut down Lu Ming's blade, he did not expect that Qin Loong would just be saved like that, and the competition would be over.
At this time, Qin Loong who was at the peak of the Fire Eight Trigrams, finally regained his senses.
"What's wrong with me? Is the difference in strength really that great? "
Qin Loong knew that he did not have the qualifications to regret, and had only begun to sink into deep contemplation.
"No, although my overall battle strength is not as good as Lu Ming's, the difference isn't that big. If I say that I was careless, that would not necessarily be the case. What is the reason behind this? "
Qin Loong couldn't understand, so he went back to his room alone and laid on his bed, continuing his deep thought.
Because he knew that if he didn't figure out the source of his miserable loss, from today onwards, he wouldn't be able to go any further.
The other people were also busy with their own things and did not visit Qin Loong.
It meant that this setback might not be a bad thing for Qin Loong, but he had to think carefully and make sure everyone did not disturb him.
Qin Loong lied on his bed and thought carefully about every single detail of this short competition.
His every move, every thought, every move Lu Ming made, every possible motive behind every move, were all thoroughly turned over and over by Qin Loong.
But he still couldn't think of a reason.
"From the process, I originally wanted to conserve my strength so that I could take him by surprise, but Lu Ming just so happened to go all out and got caught red-handed. But what was the underlying reason?"
Qin Loong had been lying on the bed for more than two hours, yet he still did not have a clue.
At this time, after the competition ended, Zhan Tian and Qin Loong's performance suddenly surfaced in Qin Loong's mind, shocking him, as though he had thought of something.
"Yes, this has nothing to do with tactics, battle power, and the final result. My faith in becoming strong is not enough, but ever since I entered the cultivation world, I haven't been clear about what I want."
Qin Loong finally realised, this was the reason why after the previous round, regardless of victory or defeat, regardless of whether their performance was good or bad, Zhan Tian had to praise or encourage. Only after his own miserable defeat, Zhan Tian did not say anything, he only looked like he was sighing.
Qin Loong was right, this point, was what Zhan Tian wanted Qin Loong to use this loss to comprehend.
Faith seemed weak, but in reality, it had almost reached the Innate Realm. This had become an extremely important matter.
And the luck that Zhan Tian mentioned before, was mostly just finding one's "heart's will", or to use the words of the cultivation world, breaking through the so-called "heart demon".0
It was easy to say, but hard to do. How much could the world really know about one's own nature and heart?
But as long as Qin Loong could understand this point and start searching, he would be a big step ahead of the majority of muddleheaded people.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I messed up this time and made a low-level mistake."
During dinner time, Qin Loong finally appeared in the hall and smiled apologetically at everyone.
"Aiya, there's nothing wrong, there's a mistake, what's wrong with horses? Come, come, let's eat first. Captain Zhan had specially arranged a large table of good dishes for us."
It wasn't that Old Lei didn't understand Qin Loong's situation, but as a rough and straightforward person, the Inner Heart of Demons was actually the most secondary issue to him. Naturally, he did not feel that Qin Loong's problem was any big deal.
Qin Loong looked carefully and sure enough, Zhan Tian had specially ordered people to prepare a table of sumptuous food, at that moment, everyone, including even Liu Shishi, were eagerly staring at the dishes on the table, drooling. After all, after coming to the Eight Trigrams Linked Mountains, they had not tasted anything like this for a long time.
When Qin Loong sat down, everyone impatiently picked up their chopsticks and started eating, causing Qin Loong's appetite to rise as well.
Zhan Tian looked at Qin Loong, and asked with a smile: "You've thought it through?"
Qin Loong did not say anything, he only nodded his head solemnly. In his heart, he was extremely grateful to Zhan Tian for his efforts.
"That's good, then let's have a good meal. I'm looking forward to your performance tomorrow."
Seeing that Qin Loong could understand, Zhan Tian was very happy as well.
Before the competition on the second day began, Qin Loong excitedly stood on the stage. Opposite him was the Abusi who was still drowsy.
"Special Branch Deputy Chief Captain, against Rogue Cultivator Abusi, in ten minutes, the competition will begin."
Following the Vice Sect Leader Tang's voice, layers of Three Colours Spirit Qi began to flow out of Qin Loong's body.
"Oh?"
Abusi, who was yawning a moment ago, was suddenly filled with interest. With a smile on her face, she began to observe Qin Loong once again.
If even Abusi was surprised, it was not hard to imagine how surprised the spectators were.
"Three Colours Spirit Qi has such strength, why didn't he use it yesterday?"
"It can't be that I suffered a setback yesterday and finally broke through to the next level, which is why I was able to successfully cultivate it, right?"
"I think the special forces used some kind of method to help him improve after he was defeated yesterday."
The spectators had all sorts of guesses, but the majority of them had never expected that Qin Loong would lose before even releasing the Three Colours Spirit Qi.
