Chapter 44 Team Knockout
Jiang Zhen's face instantly became gloomy, and he looked towards the high platform.
Those who acted secretly had to be at least at the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm or even the peak state, otherwise they wouldn't give Jiang Zhen the same oppression as Jiang Yu.
Of course, Jiang Yu is at the Zhoutian Realm, so his strength is naturally stronger than that of the Body Tempering Realm warriors, but at this time he did not exert all his strength, but only released part of his strength to create a coercion that squeezed everyone, so Jiang Zhen guessed, Those who act secretly are at least at the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, or...
Zhou Tianjing's powerhouses, like Jiang Yu, only used part of their own strength to put pressure on Jiang Zhen.
On the high platform, Jiang Yuanshan couldn't harm him, Jiang Yu had no reason to bully him, Jiang Baishan didn't have the strength to exert pressure on him, the only thing left was...Jiang Po!
However, Jiang Po looked calm on the surface, and he didn't seem to be exerting coercion at all, but if it wasn't him, who else would it be?
For a moment, Jiang Zhen's gaze became confused, he squinted his eyes slightly, and scanned the entire martial arts arena.
He was very angry. He didn't expect the conspiracy against him to start in the first round. He thought that he would be targeted only in the second and third rounds of the competition. After all, the next two rounds were the real battles. The first round was just a test.
But...he didn't expect that they actually wanted to kick him out during the test. Their intentions were really sinister. This was to completely destroy his desire to restore his bloodline.
"Crackling~"
The bones of Jiang Zhen's whole body were cracking, and the skeleton of his body was under great pressure, and they began to squeeze each other.
"It's not that easy to kick me out of the competition." Jiang Zhen clenched his fists, and the purple energy in his dantian quickly circulated throughout his body to resist the squeeze from the outside world.
At the same time, Jiang Zhen is also looking for who is secretly putting pressure on him? Since people are not on the high platform, they must be hidden in the collateral off the court.
Jiang Zhen looked around, and saw that there were only four collaterals present who could stand firm and look normal, three men and one woman, presumably they were the ones mentioned before, Jiang Tianlu, Jiang Chengzhi, Jiang Ziang, and Jiang Ruihuan...
Could it be that some of them are hiding their strength? Jiang Zhen guessed, but he was quickly overthrown by himself. He thought that even if these people concealed their strength, it would be impossible for them to create a coercion similar to Zhou Tianjing, unless they had pills or talismans to enhance their own strength. seal.
Who is secretly harming himself? Jiang Zhen's thoughts turned sharply... but he found that the coercion was suddenly withdrawn, his body relaxed immediately, and he staggered a few steps involuntarily.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianlu, Jiang Chengzhi, Jiang Ziang, and Jiang Ruihuan, who were standing relatively steadily, looked sideways.
"Trash." Jiang Tianlu said disdainfully.
"Barely, it's okay!" Jiang Chengzhi commented, "Naturally there is no way to compare with us."
Jiang Ziang was expressionless and didn't say anything.
Jiang Ruihuan smiled at Jiang Zhen, showing a hint of intimacy, and Jiang Zhen also smiled back.
On the high platform, Jiang Yuanshan looked at Jiang Zhen worriedly, wondering what happened to him? Could it be that he couldn't bear the coercion? No way? Kai Guangjing's eightfold cultivation was enough to withstand Jiang Yu's coercion.
For a moment, Jiang Yuanshan was full of worries, he glanced at Jiang Po warily, paying attention to him all the time.
At this moment, Jiang Po is still expressionless and calm as usual, it is basically difficult for outsiders to see what kind of emotion he is.
How could the dark coercion suddenly disappear? Jiang Zhen was puzzled, could it be that the person found out that he was investigating and withdrew to avoid being exposed? If this is the case, he will definitely appear again in the following competitions...
"Be careful!" Jiang Zhen warned himself, he must pay attention to the powerful opponent in the dark.
"Hoo~"
When half of the sidelines off the field were eliminated, Jiang Yu withdrew the coercion and looked at the remaining sidelines below. Most of them were lying on the ground, a few were kneeling on the ground, and only seven or eight people were still standing. One is Jiang Zhen,
However, he looked a little vain, not as calm as Jiang Tianlu, Jiang Chengzhi, Jiang Ziang, and Jiang Ruihuan.
"The strength is still... not enough, maybe this year I won't be able to restore the identity of the direct bloodline." Jiang Yu thought, and then thought of her little daughter Jiang Sisi, who said last night that she would release the water by herself to let Jiang Zhen pass, but this kind of publicity , How did he release water on Jiang Zhen?
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Jiang Yu stepped back, his task was completed, and it was time for Jiang Baishan to play next.
"One hour later, the team knockout round, you each form a team, the number is not limited." Jiang Baishan announced the rules.
"The number of people is not limited?" Everyone in the field suddenly became active. There was no such rule before...
In the past, there were three or four people in a team, and it was stipulated that a strong team would lead several weak teams. How come there is no limit to the number of people now? And there is no strong and weak, what does this mean?
Does it mean that there is no longer a limit on the number of people in a team? In that case... maybe the weak ones of them can unite to deal with the strong ones? And the strong can also join forces, kill the weak ones first, and then compete on their own.
Once this rule comes out, the battle is full of variables!
It is necessary to test not only one's own strength, but also the soft power of others, to combine teammates, and to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team together, and all these must be completed within an hour, time is tight!
For a while, the rest of the people immediately looked for their familiar friends or powerful allies to seek the next round of victory.
Jiang Zhen was very helpless. As soon as the rules came out, he knew they were targeting him. He didn't have many friends in Jiang's family, and he didn't like to talk much at ordinary times. Moreover, since Jiang Po and Jiang Baishan dared to formulate rules like this, they must Having made arrangements in advance, he probably wants to...
Fighting alone!
"It seems that I have a hard time in the team knockout round." Jiang Zhen said in his heart.
It didn't take long for the remaining collateral branches to basically form four or five teams. The weak ones gathered together, the least ones had nine members, and the many ones had more than a dozen. However, the strong ones did not unite, but scattered separately. For example, Jiang Tianlu, Jiang Chengzhi, Jiang Ziang, and Jiang Ruihuan each led two or three people to form a team.
It seems that they are all very confident in their own strength, and they are bound to win the Body Tempering Pill, Sword Artifact, and Wooden Martial Arts, and they cannot allow others to compete with them, so they have to compete in the team competition.
Jiang Zhen, as he thought, no one came to form a team with him, and he formed a team of his own.
Not far away, Jiang Ruihuan glanced at Jiang Zhen, hesitated for a while, and walked towards him.
"Are you Jiang Zhen?" Jiang Ruihuan asked.
Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Ruihuan, and saw that her hair was tied into a ponytail, her face was full of heroism, she was wearing a black jacket, and she was holding a three-foot green sword in her hand, giving her a chivalrous look.
"Yes, I am Jiang Zhen." Jiang Zhen said.
"Do you want to join my team?" Jiang Ruihuan invited.
"Haha, do you think so highly of me?" Jiang Zhen laughed, and turned to laugh at himself, "I'm an uninvited star."
"Being able to persist for so long under the pressure of Hall Master Jiang Yu is only a little worse than Jiang Tianlu and the others. Isn't such a person worthy of my invitation?" Jiang Ruihuan said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll join your team." Jiang Zhen said.
"Happy cooperation!" Jiang Ruihuan stretched out his right hand.
Jiang Zhen hesitated for a while, reached out to shake Jiang Ruihuan's hand, and said, "Happy cooperation!"
Afterwards, Jiang Ruihuan waved to his teammates, signaling them to come over.
There are four people in the team, including Jiang Zhen, there are five people, three men and two women.
"Jiang Xiaozhen, my cousin, has a seven-level cultivation base and is good at using throwing knives." Jiang Ruihuan introduced a woman who was playing with a sharp knife in her hand.
"Jiang Jitong, who has eight levels of consecrated mirrors and is good at using hammers." Jiang Ruihuan pointed to a muscular man and introduced.
"Jiang Dehai, who has nine levels of consecration and is good at using big knives." Jiang Ruihuan pointed to a young man carrying a knife.
"This is Jiang Zhen, his cultivation is..." Jiang Ruihuan pointed at Jiang Zhen, paused, and looked at Jiang Zhen.
"Kai Guang Jing Yae, good at using fists, and occasionally using swords." Jiang Zhen introduced himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ruihuan immediately looked at him suspiciously, opened the mirror eightfold? Logically speaking, shouldn't he be overwhelmed by Hall Master Jiang Yu's coercion? what's the situation? Could it be that Jiang Zhen took the elixir to be promoted to the eighth stage of consecrated mirror?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruihuan couldn't help but turn ugly. If Jiang Zhen really became stronger after taking the elixir, then the fighting power must not be comparable to her teammates who grew up from actual combat.
Could it be that you have misjudged yourself? Jiang Zhen...is he really a waste as others said?
Seeing Jiang Ruihuan's uncertain expression, Jiang Zhen knew what she was thinking without thinking about it, but he didn't explain it. He could tell her his own strength by fighting later, so why waste his tongue here, and said that others still Don't necessarily believe it.
"Sister Rui Huan, why did you recruit him into the team?" Jiang Xiaozhen frowned, and wanted to speak satirically about Jiang Zhen, but was stopped by Jiang Ruihuan's eyes.
"Okay, since everyone is in the same team, we have to work together so that we can advance in the next battle, understand?" Jiang Ruihuan looked around at her teammates, seeing that none of them wanted to see Jiang Zhen, and reminded them that Jiang Zhen She was the one who recruited them, and now they are a team, and they must work together as one and help each other in order to advance.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen couldn't help but give Jiang Ruihuan a high look. This woman has a strong personality, leadership, and never changes her mind. When she sees her teammates rejecting him, she doesn't change her original intention. Instead, she warns her teammates that everyone should be harmonious. It's not easy to do this step.
"Let's rest, recharge your batteries, and wait for the next battle." Jiang Ruihuan took the lead in sitting cross-legged on the ground, adjusting her state.
Jiang Zhen also sat down cross-legged, repairing the pressure damage suffered by his body before.
An hour passed quickly, and Jiang Baishan stood on the high platform again.
"Now I announce that the second round of the competition has officially started. Two teams will compete in groups. Everyone can fight together as a team or one-on-one. In short, whichever team admits defeat first will be eliminated immediately, and the winner will advance to the next level."
The remaining collateral lines were divided into 6 teams. Jiang Tianlu, Jiang Chengzhi, Jiang Ziang, Jiang Ruihuan, Jiang Liye, and Jiang Ruijin were the captains. Among them, Jiang Liye and Jiang Ruijin had more than a dozen teammates, but their cultivation levels were relatively high. Low, mostly open mirror sixfold.
Of these six teams, only three teams will be left to enter the third round.
"Team Jiang Tianlu vs. Team Jiang Ruihuan, Team Jiang Chengzhi vs. Team Jiang Ziang, Team Jiang Liye vs. Team Jiang Ruijin." Jiang Baishan announced the teams for the battle. As soon as the match list came out, the faces of the sidelines off the court immediately pulled down.
what's going on? The strongest four teams face off in twos? Then the two weakest teams face off? Isn't this cheaper for those two weak teams? This is to ensure that a weak team directly advances to the third round. There... I'm afraid there is something tricky about it?
"Jiang Liye is Elder Jiang Baishan's nephew." At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly whispered such a sentence, which instantly made everyone furious and expressed their dissatisfaction.
"This time, the assignment of the teams will be decided by Qiankun, who lives in Qiankun. If there are any dissenters, they will be sent out of the game." Jiang Baishan sternly said, instantly shocking the scene.
"The battle begins, whether it's a team melee or a one-on-one arena. The two teams you are fighting against each other can decide for themselves." After a pause, Jiang Baishan announced the start of the battle, and then stopped worrying about other things.
Jiang Tianlu led his teammates towards Jiang Ruihuan, and said with a smile, "Rui Huan, I didn't expect the two of us to meet in the second round."
"Let's just talk about it, what kind of competition is it? A team melee or a one-on-one arena?" Jiang Ruihuan said bluntly, not wanting to say those useless polite words.
"How about one-on-one?" Jiang Tianlu said, there were only four people in his team, and Jiang Ruihuan had five people, four against five, and the scuffle was not good for him.
"Yes!" Jiang Ruihuan agreed to Jiang Tianlu's proposal. There are too many variables in the melee, and she still has room to adjust her strategy one-on-one. After all, she has one more person on her side.
"Hexuan, you go first." Jiang Tianlu looked at a man in white robe and said.
Jiang Ruihuan looked at his teammates, and finally his eyes fell on Jiang Zhen, and asked.
"Jiang Zhen, how about... you go first?"
