C130 Faint Victory
All of them were the higher ups of Dongfang City, and the four young experts who were selected to be the top four were all from their families. Therefore, the higher ups naturally had to fight for their rewards with all their might.
"The top four represents the strongest force in the younger generation of the Dongfang City's military. The rewards naturally can't be too shabby, otherwise, it will dispel the enthusiasm of the young people who are working hard to cultivate."
A big shot from the military spoke first. This man's surname was Ma, and he represented the Ma family. One of the top four, Ma Hangkong, was a member of the Ma family.
"That's right. I suggest that the top four in the competition have the qualifications to train in the Great Earth Spirit River, and they can also obtain any precious treasure in the Third Grade treasure vault."
The patriarch of Deng family, Deng Yikun, quickly agreed. His eldest son, Deng Hong, was ranked second in the overall combat strength of the four finalists. He was almost guaranteed to enter the top four. Therefore, the rewards he listed were extremely generous.
The Great Earth Spirit River was a branch of the earth vein, and it possessed extremely rich Yuan Qi and spirituality. Once a cultivator successfully obtained the Great Earth Spirit Liquid, he could use it to rapidly increase his strength and strengthen his main body.
"Entering the Great Earth Spirit River isn't a problem. It's just that the treasures stored in the Third Grade treasure vault are all precious treasures that the various generations of experts from the Dongfang City have brought back during their training in the ancient ruins. The lowest grade is a Fifth Grade Combat Weapon, and they are used as prizes. It seems to be a little too grand. "
When Lord of Dongfang City heard this, he could not help but reveal a contemplative look.
Even though Gao Ling, who was ranked first in combat strength, was Lord of Dongfang City's daughter.
However, he had opened the Third Grade treasure vault because of the rewards of the competition. This caused him to hesitate.
"City Lord, you are worrying too much!"
"Carrying out a grand prize for the top four is beneficial and harmless!"
"Not only can it show the importance we attach to the competition, it can also arouse the enthusiasm of young people to advance, and it can even allow the top four to use supreme treasures to strengthen their combat strength. This also has an effect that cannot be overlooked in the battle of the capital."
The last major general of the military, Apuxiong, also agreed with Deng Yikun and the others' opinion, and made a reasonable explanation for this. Seeing that everyone was so insistent, Lord of Dongfang City asked for the opinions of the other higher-ups.
Unexpectedly, Commander Cui also strongly supported everyone's suggestion.
As a result, this somewhat exaggerated reward method was passed.
Borrowing the opportunity that Lord of Dongfang City personally presided over the drawing ceremony, Deng Yikun looked at Cui Hong with a sinister smile. "I say, Commander Cui, thank you for supporting the reward method that I proposed. However, this has nothing to do with you. You wouldn't really think that kid surnamed Luo could make it into the top four. Did you get the reward? "
"I just think General Abel's words make sense. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Cui Hong lightly glanced at him and replied with an extremely cold tone.
"I heard that you called him into the residence twice and spoke up for him now. Don't tell me you are interested in that gigolo? If you are willing to work for me, I might be able to fulfill your wish."
Deng Yikun narrowed his eyes and spoke in a seductive voice.
"No need!"
Cui Hong said coldly.
"Alright, I will kill that brat. When you are lonely and empty, I will go to bed to comfort you."
Deng Yikun sneered and looked at Luo Tongtian in the crowd with a gloomy gaze.
The Deng family had a huge influence in Dongfang City, and Deng Yikun wanted to recruit Cui Hong into his harem.
Unfortunately, under Lord of Dongfang City's protection, he couldn't fulfill his wish. At this moment, when he saw Cui Hong protecting Luo Tongtian, he could not help but feel jealous and tried to provoke her.
While these higher ups were fighting openly and secretly, Luo Tongtian and Luo Youyou each drew their lots.
They announced the number of lots in front of the City Lord and marked it at the judge's place.
Luo Tongtian drew the black number seven and Luo Youyou drew the white number one. After the two handed their lots to the judge, they still did not know who their opponent was.
After the statistics, the referee began to announce the result of the draw in front of everyone!
"Now I will announce the names of the first round of the competition!"
"The first round, Luo Youyou of Luoyang City versus Jin Dapeng of Ancient Hua City!"
"The second round, Xin An City's Ren Houshan versus Dingjun City's Tian Xing!"
...
...
"The seventh match, Luo Tongtian of Luoyang City versus the Green Luster City Vine Orchid!"
"The eighth match, Van Wu of Huangjin City versus the Sinai of Lingyu City!"
...
...
"Seventeen battles, Cui Jia from Luoyang City versus Dingjun City!"
"Eighteen battles, Yu from Green Bamboo City versus Hu Dashan from Ancient Transformation City!"
When Luo Tongtian heard the result of the draw, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.
The strong members of Nine Cities who drew the lots this time seemed to have intentionally been mistaken.
Fortunately, Luo Youyou's opponent, Jin Dapeng, could only be considered as the third seed of Ancient Transformation City, so the threat was not too great.
As for his opponent, Mei Tenglan, was known for her seduction and lascivious beauty, and had always been fond of hunting for beautiful men.
The other experts that Grey Vulture mentioned did not encounter too strong opponents, so their victory was basically guaranteed.
In order to know himself and his enemies, he would never lose a battle. Luo Tongtian focused on watching other people's battles and fully understood their fighting methods so that he could accumulate some experience for the following battles.
"That Jin Da Peng mainly uses a thick earth element cultivation technique, and is good at defending and counterattacking. He also developed a pair of wings from the ancient catalysis technique, and from there, he can use the flying technique..."
Grey Vulture was transmitting the information he had gathered, and it could be said that it was extremely detailed.
"You You, unless it's a critical moment, it's best not to use that earth guard."
Luo Tongtian walked over with a smile on his face and whispered into her ear.
"I understand. My Water Shadow Combat Technique has just made a breakthrough. I can use him to practice."
Seeing his actions so intimate, Luo Youyou could not help but blush. She immediately raised her hand and shouted.
On the fighting stage!
Luo Youyou stood ten meters away from a burly yellow-clothed man.
"Ancient Transformation City's Jin Peng!"
"Luo Youyou of Luoyang City!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
After the two exchanged names, they opened the frame.0
Luo Youyou's figure was like water, her aura spread across the entire place.
Jin Dapeng's figure was as stable as a mountain, his mind was fixed in all directions, facing all kinds of changes.
"Ten thousand feet of water waves, surging and howling!"
Luo Youyou raised her jade-like arm and was the first to attack.
A continuous stream of water appeared out of thin air, forming a ten zhang tall wave that smashed down fiercely.
"My will is like a mountain, not moving at all!"
Jin Dapeng stomped his foot on the ground, and a mountain image appeared behind him, not moving at all under the huge wave.
"The will of water continues to flow, transforming into tens of thousands!"
Luo Youyou's jade-like hand formed a seal, and the originally vigorous waves condensed into over a hundred jade-green human-shaped water puppets, and they pounced towards Jin Dapeng.
Just as the water power submerged his body, a ten zhang large pestle appeared.
It carried a powerful force as it swept across the sky and shattered the water puppets one after another.
Luo Youyou took the opportunity to take out a long sword, slashing out a jade-colored pillar towards Jin Dapeng.
This long sword was called Sharp Snake, and it was the weapon that Luo Tongtian had chosen for her. Although its power was not comparable to the Jade Light Sword that was nurtured in Quiet Lake, it was still one of the best among the Martial Astral Combat Weapons.
The water power was overflowing, and the mountain shadows were everywhere!
The two of them moved quietly, one fast, and one slow. They were engaged in a fierce battle on the fighting stage.
Gradually, the two of them completely disappeared, and only the mountain shadows were left, rumbling as they rose, and the water ripples rose.
Following a deafening sound, the mountain shadow dissipated and the water power evaporated. The two people's figures were once again exposed in front of the crowd.
Luo Youyou's long hair danced in the air and her aura exploded. Behind her, there was a 30 meter tall water shadow. It gave people a visual impact. On the other hand, Jin Dapeng's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with despair. He lowered his head to look at the long and narrow wound on his chest, and his face was filled with disbelief.
As a Quasi-Martial expert, he had the confidence to defeat Luo Youyou, who had just broken through to the Half-step Martial Dao Expert realm.
However, in actual combat, he felt that his opponent's figure was in the void, and his cultivation technique was profound. He could not catch a trace of her at all. Even though he used the flying technique at the critical moment, he still fell into Luo Youyou's trap at the last moment.
"Brother Jin, thank you for letting me win!"
Luo Youyou slightly bowed, her graceful figure was obvious.
"I lost!"
Jin Dapeng cupped his fist and bowed, then turned around and left with a sigh.
