Chapter 129: Geniuses Gather
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang passed the preliminary screening easily and walked home together.
The dead fox suddenly thought of something and said: "Actually, we don't have to go back in a hurry, I want to go somewhere first."
"Where?" Big Ice wondered.
"Outer Gate Casino!" Chu Huai replied.
As mentioned before, the outer gate area of Daomen is a circle of its own, and is actually like a small town.
There are restaurants, tea shops, various shops, and of course... there are also casinos.
The rules of the sect prohibit the establishment of private gambling bureaus.
Official casinos are the exception.
Whether it is in the Mirror Country or the Moon Country, casinos are considered legal businesses. Like Fengyue places, they are places that can be directly operated formally.
But no matter what, the Taoist sect is a famous and upright sect after all.
Hence, the official casino is not open at all times, and there is a limit for everyone to place bets.
To put it simply, it is actually a place where the disciples in the sect can be entertained on busy days and enjoy a little gambling.
"Now, the East Continent Competition is about to start, and the Outer Sect Casino will definitely be open."
"I have learned before that the upper limit of bets for outer sect disciples is 200 sect contribution points, which is indeed not high." Chu Huaixu said to Han Shuangjiang.
“We have to go quickly!” he began to urge.
“Why? Hasn’t the game started yet?” she wondered.
"You are stupid! Go early now, our strength has not been exposed much, the odds must be higher."
Han Shuangjiang, the little housekeeper, is a bit of a money-obsessed person. After hearing this sentence, her eyes immediately lit up slightly.
Although you can only bet 200 sect contribution points, if the odds are right, you can still make a lot of money!
The two money fans came to the casino with great excitement and began to understand the odds.
As a result...I couldn't find my name at all!
There are a total of 20 of the seed players who have placed bets, all of them are very famous first-level disciples from the outer sect of the Dao Sect, and all of them are strong men in the first-level ninth level!
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang were not included in this list, so their trip was in vain.
Obviously, many people think that they are quite strong, but not as strong as twenty.
As the organizer, Daomen will definitely not raise the ambitions of others and destroy its own prestige.
Hence, you cannot bet on the talents of other sects. The final ranking is only an internal comparison, only about who is the best among the Taoist disciples.
The two of them looked a little embarrassed.
Chhu Huaixu, who suggested coming here, even felt a little shameless and looked like a clown!
The dead fox gritted his teeth and memorized these 20 names.
Ruan Qiu, Ding Bolin, Ji Sikong, Chang Le...
3
“You’d better not let me meet you, otherwise I’ll beat you up one by one!” he thought to himself.
Now, I can only come to the casino after getting some limelight in the Dongzhou Competition.
The two of them came here in good spirits and returned in despair.
The twenty outer disciples had no idea that they would be on Chu Huaixu's "must-kill list" in such an inexplicable way.
A few days later, the countdown to the Dongzhou Competition began.
The outer disciples were ready to take over the sect’s tasks, and were responsible for picking up the disciples from other sects and arranging accommodation for them.
This makes the peaceful and quiet outer gate become extremely lively, and occasionally some small chaos and disturbances will occur.
From time to time, you will see great practitioners coming from the sky to the inner gate of the Taoist Gate.
These are high-level figures from other large sects. They came as team leaders and are now going to the inner sect to catch up with old friends.
Every appearance of a big figure will cause a lot of discussion in the outer sects.
What is even more frightening is that the remaining three sects of the four major sects are all elders.
The leader of the Sword Sect is the majestic Situ Cheng [one of the Four Divine Swords]!
This person's cultivation level has reached the eighth level, and he was taught by the same master as the Sword Master of the Sword Sect.
The Sword Master's position in the Sword Sect is actually similar to that of the Master of the Junzi Temple in the Taoist Sect.
It does not mean that the leader of the Sword Sect is called the Sword Master.
As the name suggests, the Sword Master is the strongest swordsman in the Sword Sect.
He is also the leader of the [Four Divine Swords] today.
The leader of the Sword Sect was not included in the list of Dongzhou's "Four Divine Swords".
Hence, it can be seen that the strength of Situ Cheng is actually the second person in the Sword Sect!
This has made many people realize that this time the Dongzhou Competition can be described as an unprecedented event!
Many people thought that participating in the competition this time was to show their face in front of the Taoist high-level officials.
It's good now, so many strong men from Dongzhou have arrived.
With so many giant walls of practice gathered together, once you take your seats in the auditorium, the standard of the entire Dongzhou Competition will be raised several notches. But because of this, some people will have some doubts in their hearts.
"This is only a first-level competition, why is it so valued?"
"The level of grandeur is even a bit abnormal!"
Normally speaking, this East Continent Competition is jointly promoted by the four major sects, and it is reasonable for the other three major sects to send ordinary high-level officials.
But for an existence of Situ Cheng's level to come all the way, it's a bit confusing.
Jianzong, Chunqiu Mountain, and Luotian Valley are all major cultivators of the eighth realm!
However, for the participants, that is another matter.
This means that if you can get a good ranking, you will definitely become famous in Dongzhou overnight!
Chu Huaixu can basically conclude in his mind: "There must be something hidden in this East-West Continent Competition."
"Things will definitely not be that simple."
"I even think that the four major sects To organize such a grand event and select the strongest person in the Xuanhuang Realm, there must be some secret purpose! "
"It's a pity that Xiao Xu took the lead in "Borrowing the Sword", but the specific hidden plot has not been discovered." He felt a little regretful.
The day before the preliminary round of the Dongzhou Competition, everyone started to draw lots.
Since there were indeed a lot of people who signed up, after the preliminary screening, there were also so many people that the first round of preliminary rounds had to be held over five days.
Since it is the preliminary round, there will definitely not be one match after another, but there will be twenty large arenas taking place at the same time.
Everything in the first level is not too earth-shattering, so a large arena is enough.
If you are a great cultivator who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and use many tricks, then the competition area cannot be too limited.
In the first round of the competition, Chu Huaixu was drawn on the first day, and Han Shuangjiang was drawn on the second day, both of which were relatively high.
The next day, the two went to the competition area together.
Chu Huaixu was not nervous at all, while Big Ice just came to watch the fun.
The person who was drawn to face off against Chu Huaixu was a young man named Lang Yue.
This person is not from a Taoist sect, but from a sect called Luoxia Sect.
This sect cannot be considered a famous sect, but can only be regarded as a medium-sized sect.
During the competition, there will be two inner disciples from the fourth realm sitting in each arena.
After all, swords have no eyes and are prone to accidents.
There are experts guarding us to ensure that no one is killed.
In this kind of competition, it is inevitable that someone will get injured, but everything must be done within a certain limit.
As for those practicing giant walls in the four major sects, they will definitely not come to watch in the preliminary competition.
They show up to watch, and that will happen a few rounds later.
Chu Huaixu's current thoughts are very simple.
"You still have to hide your clumsiness, but you can't hide it too deep."
You need to show a little strength so that your name can be found in the casino early, and then you can place bets as soon as possible.
The arena he is going to is numbered eighteen.
As they walked along, he and Han Shuangjiang discovered that many inner disciples had come today.
There is no way, people in the Taoist sect just like to watch the excitement.
It is said that Taozu was like this back then. He would go wherever there was excitement.
Often when great cultivators were dueling, he would stand by and watch, and then get burned.
The final result is that the two great practitioners will be suppressed by the Taoist priest of Junziguan.
After verifying his identity, Chu Huaixu stepped onto the stage.
Lang Yue, who was competing with him, was a bit young and mature, and he also had a beard.
He is holding a big sword, and he really looks like a swordsman in the world.
He was a little puzzled when he saw that Chu Huaixu didn't hold any spiritual weapon or magic weapon in his hand.
But Lang Yue soon realized that the tall and handsome young man in front of him was wearing a middle-grade spiritual weapon!
"This person's natal spiritual weapon is actually a robe?" He was a little surprised.
Before taking action, Lang Yue smiled generously.
“This junior brother looks young, so I’m asking you to call me junior brother.”
h “You must not be merciful!” This time I came to the Dongzhou Competition, just to see the gap between me and the disciples of the big sect. "If junior brother can beat me to a pulp, it will solidify my Taoist heart!"
Chu Huaixu was a little surprised when he heard his words.
"There are still such unreasonable demands?"
Then what can he do?
It can only satisfy him.
The two inner sect brothers who came here to take charge asked aloud: "Are you ready? If you are ready, you can start."
Chu Huaixu and Lang Yue looked at each other, nodded, and then held their hands toward each other.
"Junior brother, be careful!" Lang Yue pulled out the spiritual weapon that looked a bit like a Tang sword and let out a long roar.
He seemed to be walking in a wide-open and closed path, and the sword was strong and fierce, which was somewhat similar to him.
This sword is only a middle-grade spiritual weapon.
Lang Yue is obviously the kind of person who doesn't pay much attention to details.
Otherwise, he should have realized at this moment that since Chu Huaixu came to the stage, the number of outer disciples watching around the ring began to increase. This shows that this person is at least somewhat famous in the Taoist sect.
Many people are a little curious, because so far, not many people have seen Chu Huaixu take action.
Han Shuangjiang looked at the power of the sword and knew that the opponent was not the enemy of the dead fox.
Lang Yue had already raised the knife and came to him, but Chu Huaixu did not move.
Hunted by the sword energy, he dodged sideways, and the corners of his black gold robe flew in the air, just in time to avoid the sword energy.
Immediately afterwards, he slapped a hand casually.
Lang Yue instantly felt that he had suffered a huge force!
The shock in his heart came earlier than the pain.
"How can a practitioner in the first realm have such terrifying power in his physical body!"
Unless he is...
Lang Yue let out a cry of pain and flew backwards.
Chhu Huaixu slowly closed his palm. He just used the "Jili Gulu Bagua Palm" which he had not used for a long time.
Hmm, I still forgot the full name.
The first form, the Eight Wastelands Wandering Dragon!
In a blink of an eye, the outcome is decided.
· Immediately, discerning people in the audience let out exclamations of exclamation one after another.
"Those who train their bodies! They are still mortal martial arts masters!"
