Chapter 9 The Final Battle
No one spoke that night. Under the effect of the elixir, Wu Zheng recovered to his peak state the next day. But to outsiders, Wu Zheng seemed to be seriously injured.
"If you want to win a good ranking, you can only show weakness to the enemy!" Wu Zheng thought.
It is worth mentioning that the successive battles allowed Wu Zheng to successfully break through to the seventh level of Qi training.
The four people who advanced to the semi-finals were Wang Yixiao, the "Laughing Maitreya", Duan Wuxue, the "One Sword Comes South", Liu Qian, the "Butterfly Sword", and of course Wu Zheng. Because Wu Zheng often cast spells instantly when fighting, the outer disciples now call him "Instant Brilliance".
Except for Wu Zheng, the four people who advanced were all at the ninth level of Qi training, but no one looked down on Wu Zheng at this time. With the cultivation of the seventh level of Qi training, would he be a simple person?
"First of all, congratulations to you; secondly, the four of you will have four games. You are all elites of the sect. I hope you will stop at the right time and don't kill each other if possible." Qingxu said.
Being close to this inner sect elder, the pressure on the few people was not small, but it was not easy for them to stand out from tens of thousands of people.
After a short period of tension, the few people quickly regained their composure. They agreed to what Qingxu said. After all, they did not have a life-and-death feud. It was better to make more friends than more enemies!
"Let's get started." Qingxu said to the rostrum.
This time, Wu Zheng's opponent was 'Laughing Maitreya' Wang Yixiao, and the other two were in a group.
"Brother Wang, please teach me."
"Brother Wu, I dare not teach you, let's spar with each other!" Wang Yixiao said with a laugh.
This Laughing Maitreya was a generous person, and he laughed constantly while talking.
"Then Brother Wang, be careful!"
"Brother, just let me come over, I can take it." Wang Yixiao laughed.
Wu Zheng was not vague either. He used Qingxuan Zhan right away. He could not show weakness to Wang Yixiao. He could only fight fast and avoid Wang Yixiao's attacks. Wang Yixiao cultivated the fire element vitality, so he was particularly hot-tempered when fighting.
Wu Zheng was also very cautious in dealing with it. With his body movements and martial arts, the two fought fiercely. In the end, Wu Zheng was defeated due to insufficient mana, and Wang Yixiao was no longer able to fight.
"Brother is still better. I lost!" Wang Yixiao knew that they were evenly matched, so he was not modest.
"Junior brother, thank you. I may have to learn from you in the future." Wang Yixiao said with a fist.
The other group's fight was over, and Liu Qian won by chance.
Next, Wu Zheng faced Duan Wuxue and Wang Yixiao faced Liu Qian. At this time, everyone was almost exhausted. Finally, after a discussion, Wang Yixiao ranked first, Liu Qian ranked second, Wu Zheng ranked third, and the seriously injured Duan Wuxue ranked fourth. For such a result, no one had any objection. After all, they all came from the dark horse, and they knew their own business.
Although Wu Zheng ranked third, they all knew that if there was still a chance to fight, there was only Wu Zheng here. After all, everyone knew Wu Zheng's body refining technique. As for the ranking, to be honest, they didn't care about it.
This battle also made them friends. They agreed to compete in the future, and Wu Zheng also agreed happily. These people have good temperaments and are people who can be friends.
Seeing the result of the discussion, Qingxu sighed. He didn't expect that they would end the competition in this way.
"Now I announce that the first place in this outer sect competition is: Wang Yixiao; the second place is: Liu Qian; the third place is: Wu Zheng; the fourth place is: Duan Wuxue. Now the outer sect elders will distribute the prizes for this outer sect competition, and I will announce other matters."
When distributing the prizes, in view of the performance of several people, Duan Wuxue was given an extra enlightenment pill. After receiving the rewards, everyone stood aside and waited for Qingxu to speak.
"The top ten will report to the inner sect in three days and officially become inner sect disciples; the top thirty will practice well and set off for the 'Lingtian Secret Realm' in half a year. Now, I announce that the outer sect competition has ended successfully." Qingxu let out another long roar and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone looked at the direction where True Man Qingxu left, and envied him.
I don't know when they will reach such a realm, maybe soon, maybe they will never reach it in their lifetime. Who can tell about fate!
Wu Zheng said goodbye to several people and disappeared in the crowd in the blink of an eye. The battles in the past few days gave him a lot of inspiration. With the help of the enlightenment pill, maybe there will be a breakthrough in the next few days.
After returning to his residence, Wu Zheng first took a bath, changed into a green shirt, sat cross-legged, and slowly practiced the body-refining exercises to repair all the wounds on his body. "Qinglong Body Refining" is indeed a high-level Xuan-level body-refining exercise. It has a miraculous effect in healing wounds. In other words, the exercises of a cup of tea, the wounds on the body healed, scabbed, and restored to their previous smoothness.
Wu Zheng took out the enlightenment pill, swallowed it in one gulp, sat quietly, and did not practice, feeling the operation of the true qi, and carefully thinking about the differences from his usual operation. After doing this, combined with the experience during the battle, he gained a lot.
Wu Zheng didn't know many people in this outer gate, let alone any close friends. All the things he needed to take were in his storage bag. Wu Zheng didn't feel reluctant to leave the place where he had lived for nearly four years. Although he had left many memories here, it didn't feel like home to him.
To be honest, whenever Wu Zheng was wronged, he missed his parents very much. Although he had never had them since he could remember, he never hated them.
"Home" is within reach for others, but it is out of reach for Wu Zheng. Perhaps one day someone can enter Wu Zheng's heart, and then he may feel the warmth of home.
That is the place he has longed for all his life, and that is the place he is willing to give his life for.
In this life of cultivation, there will always be an obsession in the heart.
Before going to the inner gate, Wu Zheng went to the Treasure Pavilion and bought a low-grade magic tool for alchemy, "Bai Lian Ding", with 800 spirit stones, and bought a book "Basic Talisman Collection" with 100 spirit stones. As an old customer, Chen Jingyuan saw that Wu Zheng was going to make talismans, so he gave him a few dozen talisman papers, a golden wolf hair talisman pen and some cinnabar. Wu Zheng also thanked him and promised to give priority to the Treasure Pavilion when he had something to sell in the future.
Wu Zheng wandered around the market again, and when he saw that there was nothing he needed, he went back.
Three days passed in a flash. Three days later, Wu Zheng and ten other people came to the outer gate hall. The ten people gathered and greeted each other.
"Hello, Wu Zheng." Yin Mengyao said with a smile.
"Hello, Senior Sister Yin." Wu Zheng replied. He was not a good talker, let alone communicating with women!
Duan Wuxue, Liu Qian, Wang Yixiao and others also came over to say hello.
The ten people came to the inner gate under the leadership of the outer gate elder. After the handover, the elder turned around and left after a few words.
Both the inner and outer gates were from Qingyang Sect, so there was nothing to explain.
