Chapter 149: Double Conspiracy
Training Center
Su Dong frowned and stood up, seemingly in a bad mood, shook his hands and left.
"From intermediate to advanced, it requires a leapfrogging process. Moreover, the nine heavens of Biliuohuangquan are originally strange and require cultivators to put themselves in danger, seeking opportunities for breakthroughs in danger. These days, there hasn't been any thrilling battles, so it's normal that you can't advance."
Su Dong felt depressed because his skills were hard to improve. Not to mention the nine heavens of Bi Luo Huang Quan, this method has always been strange, and even Su Dong's own Long Jia Ba Men had been stagnant at four doors for a long time.
Perhaps it was the reason for the rapid promotion all along, but there hasn't been much breakthrough in this period of time, making Su Dong feel uncomfortable all over. Now that the college martial arts competition has reached the intense finals, both Su Dong and Zuo Fang are feeling a lot of pressure, which is also why Su Dong is eager to advance.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "From sixth grade to seventh grade, it's not just a difference in rank, but also the distinction between intermediate and advanced levels. Your previous promotion speed is simply unacceptable, it's too crazy!"
Su Dong nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
Bì luò huáng quán and Lóng jiǎ bā mén have both reached a critical juncture. When Old Master was young, his innate talent was astonishing, but after opening the fourth gate of Lóng jiǎ, his progress slowed down, so much so that he never managed to open all eight gates in his lifetime, which is truly regrettable.
Su Dong has also broken through the four gates and is facing enormous difficulties in his cultivation. The nine heavens of Bi Luo Huang Quan have at least Huan Yu to guide him, but Long Jia's eight gates can only rely on himself to slowly explore.
Training center lobby, Su Dong handed over the key. Standing outside waiting for Zuo Fang.
The preliminary round has ended, and all 108 classes of Tianzi have made their debut. The real competition can be said to have only just begun now.
People coming and going saw Su Dong pointing at him from time to time. Now, Su Dong and Zuo Fang can be said to have made a big splash. Huangzi Class is the "sheep-herding class" in the college, and Su Dong's team, with the name of Huang 119, fought all the way to the final match, making everyone's eyes widen in surprise.
It is still the first team in history to advance to the main tournament with a yellow card.
In the Wudang Academy, the Tian Class 108 is the strongest. It gathered all kinds of elites and had the least number of people, with only 108 classes, more than 3,000 people. Except for this, the second smallest class is the Huang Class, also known as the Sheep Herding Class, with a total of 119 classes.
The backbone of the force belongs to the Earth and Xuan classes, with over 30,000 people in each class. After all, there are not many good students or bad students. The ordinary talented disciples are the main composition of the school.
The regular season uses a points system, except for the strongest eight teams in the Tianzi group. The 100 classes of Tianzi, plus the 100 classes of the other three groups, make up a total of 200 teams competing for only eight spots.
As for the top eight teams, they directly entered the round of 16 finals stage, showing how strong these eight teams are and how they have special privileges.
Su Dong and Zuo Fang won 24 consecutive games to qualify for the main tournament, but in the second match of the main tournament, they drew Tianzi 108, which was not considered good luck.
Su Dong looked at the sun. It was already late, and he was just about to go call Zuo Fang out when Huang Bu Ren came running over from a distance with great enthusiasm.
Although this kid has lost 24 games in a row, creating the worst record in history, due to Su Dong and Zuo Fang's presence, he was also brought into the main tournament, so he's quite excited.
"Look at me, I didn't flee in fear." Huang Bu-ren said with a forced tone of soliciting praise.
Su Dong smiled and said: "I think you seem more excited than both of us? What's so exciting?"
Huang Bu Ren said: "I wrote a letter to my dad and made him so happy that he wants to hold an ancestor worship ceremony at home."
Su Dong was taken aback and asked curiously: "The game isn't over yet. Is your dad rejoicing too early?"
Huang Bu Ren shook his head and said, "You don't understand, once you enter the main tournament, you have the qualifications to adjust your department. Someone like me who comes from a humble background can't get into popular departments like Dan Medicine or Casting. But now, I have the opportunity to try it out, and who knows, maybe I'll discover some hidden talent! My family has been merchants for generations, if we could produce even a low-level Dan Master, that would be considered a blessing from our ancestors!"
Su Dong nodded slightly, Huang Bu Ren was studying Tong Chou, which is a kind of arithmetic, and would be used in business in the future. And Dan Shi and Zhù Zào Shī were high-ranking officials in the Divine Realm. The Huang family had never produced such talents before, but now little fatty Huang Bu Ren had the opportunity to try his hand at being a Dan Shi and Zhù Zào Shī, which made their family extremely happy.
Not to mention a real Dan master, the Huang family had never had anyone who had the opportunity to try learning these things, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, Huang Bu Ren had already created history for his family.
Just then, Zuo Fang also came out. A night of cultivation had caused his eyes to emit a green glow, as if the purity of his spiritual energy had increased once again.
Three people came together to the martial arts center. Since it was a regular match, everything seemed more formal. The floor was covered with metal flooring and spectator stands were set up around the perimeter.
From afar, Hua Yingyue saw Su Dong and hastily came over. As soon as she saw him, her first words were: "Something big has happened! The school has changed its rules!"
Su Dong was taken aback and curiously asked: "What rules are being changed?"
Huā Yìng Yuè Dào: "Yuàn Fāng shuō wèi le zēng jiā guān shǎng xìng, zhèng sài bù xǔ yǔn zhàn ér xiáng, chú fēi..."
"What if?" Su Dong asked anxiously.
"Unless a group of people surrender together." Huayingyue said cautiously.
Su Dong's eyebrows furrowed, and Zuo Fang stomped his foot in anger, shouting loudly: "Isn't this targeting us?! Not allowed to surrender without a fight?! How can Huang Bu Ren fight?! He doesn't even know martial arts!"
Huang Bu Ren's face looked quite unsightly at the side, with big beads of sweat flowing down his face.
As a merchant's son who didn't know martial arts, Huang Shiran went to fight with those Ling warriors, which was simply seeking death!
"Never mind all that, let's go take a look at what this new rule is all about." Su Dong said with a gloomy face.
A group of people outside the Martial Arts Center saw a newly posted notice, written in clear black characters on white paper: "No abandonment of the match is allowed, no surrender without a fight!"
The atmosphere on the scene was somewhat oppressive, and even Qinyue, who usually liked to say unpleasant things, made an exception and did not rub salt in the wound.
"The situation is very difficult, according to the rules. In the group stage, winning one game is worth one point, and there are twelve rounds of competition. Even if you and Zuo Fang win all games, you need to play all twelve rounds to get 24 points, which is probably the minimum score required to advance to the final. Those strong groups may get more than thirty points."
"At the same time, it also means that Huang Bu Ren has to go on stage every time and at least fight one round with others." Huā Yìng Yuè said in a low voice.
Knock knock~
Huang Bu Ren wiped the sweat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Letting himself go on stage twelve times, each time being knocked down by others, this was absolutely playing with his life! Those masters' punches were often tens of thousands of kilograms of force!
Su Dong didn't say a word, he had already smelled the conspiracy from this latest rule. To say that it wasn't targeting Su Dong's group, only an idiot would believe that!
Qin Yin couldn't help but say: "Forget it, even if you can get 24 points, you may not be able to make it into the top eight. After all, there are 36 full marks."
"Can't take it anymore!" Little fatty Huang Bu Ren suddenly shouted loudly: "Isn't it just a beating? I won't hit people, but taking a beating is my specialty! When I was young and disobedient, my dad didn't spare the rod on me."
Su Dong was taken aback and said in a low voice: "You'd better think carefully, this is a spiritual battle, not your father's stick, one mistake will cost you your life."
"Huang Bu Ren gritted his teeth and said, 'I've made up my mind! Good brothers, let's talk about loyalty! You two brought me to this tournament, and now we all have a chance to get into the Dan Medicine Department. What's there to hesitate about? I absolutely cannot hold you two back!'"
"Besides, Su Dong, aren't you a master craftsman? Make me a set of awesome spiritual armor to wear. If I can withstand one punch, I'll admit defeat and won't die!"
Su Dong shook his head and said, "I can indeed create a spiritual armor, but the spiritual armor only has defensive power of the same level. It cannot withstand a true master. Moreover, your own spiritual power is very weak. Even if you wear the best spiritual armor, its effect will be greatly discounted."
Su Dong's concern is normal, this thing Ling Jia first look at what kind of casting master used what materials and techniques to create. Second, it depends on who wears it, Huang Bu Ren's level is too low, can play twenty-five percent of the defensive power of Ling Jia, it's already a blessing from heaven.
Huang Bu Ren was surprisingly resolute, repeatedly calling him "good brother" and talking about loyalty, insisting on going up, which moved Su Dong somewhat.
"Alright, let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work out, admitting defeat won't be shameful." Su Dong said in a low voice.
After that, Su Dong took off his own Ling Jia and put it on Huang Bu Ren's body. This set of Ling Jia had full spiritual power defense and was a rare treasure. Unfortunately, Huang Bu Ren was short and fat, so although the armor could adjust its size, it was still too long for him, with a big bulge at the bottom.
"Just make do for now, after today I will specially create a set of spiritual armor for you." Su Dong said in a low voice.
"Well, in that case, thank you very much." Huang Bu'ren nodded heavily and patted his chest.
……
There were quite a few people on the scene, and when Su Dong and his team arrived, several groups of warriors had just finished their own battles.
Three people who looked quite similar in appearance walked down from the battlefield, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Su Dong and his group several times. These three were Su Dong's opponents for the second round, the Ning brothers from Tianzi 108: Ning Feng, Ning Huo, and Ning Lie, together known as Feng Huo Lie!
The first game was won cleanly and beautifully. The Ning brothers walked to the entrance of the rest room but did not enter, instead standing together with a man wearing a hat at the door.
The man wore a hat and glasses, looking refined and elegant, his face was very pale, and his eyes had a rare sharpness.
"Take a good look, it's these three people, Su Dong, Zuo Fang and that little fatty." The young man with the hat said in a low voice, only audible to the Ning family's three brothers standing beside him.
The boss nodded slightly and said, "What do you want us to do?"
The young man laughed and said, "It's not that I want you to do anything, but rather what extent can you guys go to? Seriously injure that little fatty, make them unable to continue participating in the competition. In the future, if you want to further your studies, any of the four universities are yours for the choosing."
"What if we could kill one?" Ning Feng asked again.
"I only want one life, that is Su Dong's life. If you can kill him, your entire family will be considered as our own from now on." The young man said calmly after a pause.
In an instant, the three Ning brothers' faces changed greatly. This young man was not simple; he represented the Huo Shen tribe! The whole family were all their own people, that is to say they would merge the Ning family into the Huo Shen tribe! They would enjoy all the treatment that only the Huo Shen tribe's talents had!
This condition is too tempting!
