Chapter 42: The Talisman Wins (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)

At noon, the first round of the competition ended successfully. A total of 60 cultivators entered the second round. Most of them were at the seventh level of Qi training, more than ten were at the eighth level, and only five were at the ninth level.

The five people at the ninth level of Qi training were also the hot candidates for the top three in this competition. Under the temptation of a second-level low-grade talisman that could be used to save their lives, they would definitely go all out.

In the second round of drawing lots, Sun Mingzeng drew number 17, and Sun Mingsheng drew number 6.

Sun Mingsheng had no fear of the competition, but just prayed that he would never meet one of the five ninth-level Qi training cultivators in the second round.

Sun Mingsheng's requirements were not high, as long as he could advance to the top ten and get a first-level high-grade autumn pear fruit.

"Twelfth brother, defeat the opponent and advance to the next round." Before going on stage, Sun Mingwang cheered on the side.

On the stage, there was also an eighth-level Qi training cultivator from the Geng family, dressed in green, with a tall figure, like a green pine.

"Pingyang County, Sun Family, Sun Mingsheng meets fellow Taoist"

"Zhongshan County, Geng Family, Geng Yuming"

The two cultivators simply greeted each other, and the referee presiding over the fight announced the start of the fight.

Facing the eighth-level Qi training cultivator, Sun Mingsheng had no need to hide anything. He must go all out once he makes a move, so that he can have the possibility of winning the fight.

The fire-gathering bottle floated above Sun Mingsheng's head. With the input of a magical power, a flame as thick as the cultivator's thigh sprayed out.

And it twisted in the air and turned into vivid fire snakes, which was the combination of the fire-gathering bottle and the fire snake technique.

Geng Yuming's face was also solemn, probably because he had observed Sun Mingsheng's performance on the ring before.

Facing the attack from the fire-gathering bottle, he raised his hands, and a water-blue water wall firmly blocked in front of him. It turned out to be a water-attributed cultivator.

This is also very normal. There are spiritual springs in Yuquan Mountain, and the water attribute spiritual power is relatively abundant, which makes it easier to practice.

Water and fire are incompatible. For the two cultivators, from this moment on, the competition is about who can last longer and has stronger magic power.

Water can extinguish fire. If the fire is strong enough, it can also burn the water flow.

However, from this aspect, Sun Mingsheng, who is at the seventh level of Qi training, is obviously at a disadvantage in the battle.

Dozens of fire snakes hit the water wall without hesitation. The mutual consumption between water and fire caused bursts of white smoke to rise and spread over the entire arena.

However, the water wall is still motionless and quite stable. Seeing this, Sun Mingsheng pointed with both hands, and a more intense flame was ejected from the fire bottle again, rushing straight to the water wall.

Geng Yuming will naturally not just take a beating without fighting back. It is obvious that he cannot resist indefinitely with just a water wall.

A huge water snake composed of a large amount of clear water kept swaying its body in the air, making a silent hiss, and opened its huge mouth to swallow the flame directly.

"Hmph, explode for me" Sun Mingsheng pointed with both hands, and a loud noise came. The body of the water snake suddenly exploded, turning into streams of clear water falling on the ring, and the flame naturally disappeared.

Under the effect of this explosive force, the water snake and the water wall also disappeared without a trace. In this round of competition, the two monks did not distinguish a clear winner.

The first round seemed fierce and was also a test. Judging from the results of the mutual test, it should be evenly matched.

The faces of Sun Mingsheng and Geng Yuming were also quite serious. No matter who wanted to win this game, it would take a hard fight.

The first strike is strong, and the last strike suffers. In such a battle of equal strength, the fight for the initiative is particularly important, involving the direction and control of the subsequent battle.

After the two exchanged glances, they launched attacks at the same time. Geng Yuming held his hands in an embrace, and water spirits came from all directions, and spiral water columns were constantly forming.

Sun Mingsheng raised his hands above his head, constantly pinching complex spells, and streams of hot spirits in his dantian flowed upstream, and waves of strange red flashed continuously.

It happened so fast that the two cultivators did not spend too much time to perform their respective magical powers. In just three or five breaths, a huge water column that kept spinning forward and three red rocks the size of a human head that fell from the sky, carrying huge power and scorching heat, collided with each other.

"Boom boom" The collision between the two powerful first-grade spells made the entire arena shake.

The light shield formed by the first-grade formation on the surface of the arena also flickered.

After all, Geng Yuming benefited from his eighth-level Qi training. After the collision and consumption, the water column still had about one-third of its original volume, which directly hit Sun Mingsheng's body.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Sun Mingsheng's face turned pale. He forced his body to stop at the edge of the ring.

"Only cultivation is the foundation. Today, I can only rely on the talisman to win." Sun Mingsheng whispered to himself, and took out ten Fire Bird Talismans and ten Fire Snake Talismans from the storage bag with both hands, and sacrificed them all at once.

Ten fire birds circled and chirped in the air, and ten fire snakes swam on the stage, using their numbers to attack from all directions.

At the same time, five fire walls quickly formed in front of him, providing a certain degree of defense.

Five first-level medium-grade fire walls can resist one or two of them even if the opponent uses a powerful magic weapon.

Facing the attack of a large number of fire birds and fire snakes, Geng Yuming was involuntarily stunned for a moment. Talismans are not uncommon, and cultivators usually use them as auxiliary means in battle.

It is not common to sacrifice twenty first-level medium-grade offensive talismans at one time, and five first-level medium-grade defensive talismans. This is simply a prodigal behavior. This attack consumed a full twenty-five spirit stones.

A cultivator of the eighth level of Qi training can certainly block the attack of a fire bird or a fire snake, but when facing the fire snakes and fire snakes transformed by the spirit talismans, the result of this battle is doomed.

Whether it was magic weapons, water wall techniques or other means, they could only play a buffering role. In the end, a flame sword hidden behind it stopped only an inch away from Geng Yuming's throat.

"Pingyang County, Sun family, Sun Mingsheng wins" As the referee announced the result, the flame sword returned to Sun Mingsheng's hand.

This battle was won smoothly, and Sun Mingsheng successfully entered the top 30. He only needed to win one more game to complete the task and enter the top 15, and have a chance to compete for the top 10.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, this young friend on the stage won with a talisman. Will there be another talisman in the next battle?" The Qin family cultivator of the Flame Cave asked on the side, with a curious look on his face.

"Mingsheng is a talisman master. For this autumn pear fruit meeting, he should have made some relatively complete preparations." Sun Xunmu was very satisfied with Sun Mingsheng's performance. His appearance this time was a complete surprise.
