Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 37 On stage and off stage
"Fellow Daoist Mu, I appreciate your concession."

On the fighting arena, Zhou Chun looked at his opponent, whose shield he had broken and whose heart was pointed at him by a sword. He bowed with a smile on his face and took back his magic weapon.

This was his second martial arts competition. His opponent was an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Mu family in Biyun Mountain, who did not have a first-grade, high-quality magic weapon.

Therefore, his victory was relatively easy and not as intense as the first game.

After winning this match, by the end of the second round of fighting competition, there will be only thirteen contestants left out of the fifty in the youth group.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Chun wins the next game, he will directly enter the top ten.

However, after stepping down from the ring, Zhou Chun still didn't dare to relax when looking at the remaining contestants.

Because the cultivators who are now eligible to compete for the top ten are either in the late stage of Qi Refining and have a first-grade superior magic weapon in hand, or they are in the middle stage of Qi Refining like him and have a first-grade superior magic weapon.

They are all difficult people to deal with.

By the time the second round of competition was over, there were only four people from the Zhou family left in the youth group, including Zhou Chun.

The other three are Zhou Zhengkang, Zhou Zhengtao and Zhou Zhengyong.

This result surprised many Zhou family cultivators.

On the contrary, clan leader Zhou Daoyi in the audience seemed to have anticipated this and was not surprised at all.

In the family selection competition, Zhou Chun did not use the first-grade top-grade magic weapon, so he knew what Zhou Chun was planning.

As for Zhou Zhengyong, after his spiritual pet, the red-tailed monkey, was promoted to a first-class superior-grade monster, its own strength was no worse than that of an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

In addition, with good luck and not encountering too strong opponents, it is normal to win two games in a row.

Zhou Zhengkang and Zhou Zhengtao are both in the late stage of Qi Refining, and they have first-grade top-grade magical weapons in their hands. They can completely eliminate their opponents with their strength.

Soon the third round of drawing began.

This time, Zhou Chun drew the number Ding Eryin, and his opponent will be the number Ding Eryang.

"My luck is a bit bad, it would be better if I got number three!"

He looked at the wooden stick in his hand and couldn't help feeling regretful.

Because there are only fifteen people competing for the top ten places, the person who draws number D3 can wait until the previous fourteen people have competed for the top seven places, and then compete with the seven eliminated people for the remaining three places.

This way, because the opponent has fought one more battle, his condition will definitely not be as good as yours who has recuperated. You can also understand the opponent's methods clearly through the previous seven battles.

But since the lots have been drawn, there is no point saying anything now. I can only wait patiently for my turn.

What Zhou Chun didn't expect was that in the first match, the four cultivators of the Zhou family had a civil war.

The two people who drew the number A1 were Zhou Zhengkang and Zhou Zhengyong from the Zhou family!

"Hey, I didn't expect to be in the same group with you, Brother Qi. It seems that this is the end of my journey!"

On the ring, Zhou Zhengyong looked at Zhou Zhengkang opposite him with a depressed look on his face and sighed.

Of course, he could not be a match for Zhou Zhengkang, who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, in order to avoid wasting Zhou Zhengkang's magic power, he could only admit defeat and walk off the stage.

After leaving the ring, Zhou Zhengyong walked directly to Zhou Chun and encouraged him, "Thirteenth brother, it's up to you. You must make it into the top ten."

Seeing that he still looked depressed, Zhou Chun could not help but comfort him, "Brother Yong, don't be discouraged. You took the overall situation into consideration and took the initiative to give in. After you return to the family, the clan leader will probably compensate you."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Zhou Zhengyong sighed and said, "Ah, I don't care about those things, but I told Miss Yujiao before that I would definitely be in the top ten. How can I face her now!"

Miss Yujiao?

Zhou Chun was slightly stunned, then he recalled the several female cultivators he had talked to the day before, and soon the image of a big-eyed female cultivator wearing a goose yellow long skirt appeared in his mind.

The other party seems to be from the Sun family of Jinfengling, and his name seems to be Sun Yujiao?

I really can’t tell, Zhou Zhengyong acted so quickly.

He couldn't help but smile and comforted him, "Don't worry, Brother Yong. I think Miss Yujiao is also a sensible person. You are humble enough to give way to your brother for the sake of the overall situation. She might appreciate you more. Besides, this will also give you another chance to get close to her!"

"Really?" Zhou Zhengyong was slightly startled, then he murmured to himself with a half-sad and half-expecting tone: "Then I really hope it's as you said, Thirteenth Brother!"

Seeing how anxious he was, Zhou Chun actually understood him very well.

Because as far as he knows, this should be Zhou Zhengyong's first love, although at the moment it may be unrequited love.

Not long after, Zhou Zhengtao, the eighth child of the Zhou family's "Zheng" generation, also came on stage.

After a hard fight, Zhou Zhengtao successfully defeated his opponent and advanced to the top ten.

In this way, even if Zhou Chun fails, the Zhou family will have two people in the top ten of the youth group, so they will not be ranked last among the five major immortal cultivation families.

Therefore, the clan leader Zhou Daoyi in the audience also smiled at this time and felt completely relaxed.

They waited like this for about an hour, and after the first six fighting matches were over, Zhou Chun finally came on stage.

"Qingzhu Mountain He family, He Chengfeng."

"Jiufengling Zhou family, Zhou Zhengchun."

On the ring, Zhou Chun and his opponent introduced themselves to each other, then looked at each other with serious eyes, waiting for the referee to announce the start of the match.

In the audience, seeing the last match of the top seven in the youth group begin, Wang Zhixiong, the head of the Wang family, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Daoyi and the head of the He family next to him and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist He, who do you think will win this competition?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi immediately raised his eyelids, turned his head and glanced at him, then said calmly: "It's normal for anyone to win or lose. Does Brother Wang have any insight?"

"I can't say I have a brilliant opinion, but I feel that the person who will win in the end should be the young Taoist friend from the Zhou family."

Wang Zhixiong rolled his eyes and expressed his opinion softly.

As soon as he said this, the head of the He family immediately said with some displeasure: "Fellow Daoist Wang, what makes you think so? My Cheng Feng is obviously more powerful and has a first-class magic weapon in hand. How can you be sure that he will lose to the young fellow Daoist of the Zhou family?"

Seeing this, Wang Zhixiong waved his hand and said, "Don't be upset, Daoist He. I am just expressing my opinion."

After that, he continued, "The reason why Wang sees it this way is, of course, because of the spiritual pet of the young Taoist friend from the Zhou family. It is a rock turtle spiritual pet with the same cultivation level as him. In addition, it is a battle in an arena. The impact of this on the outcome is much greater than a mere level of cultivation."

Hearing what he said, the head of the He family did not refute for a while.

The head of the Sun family, who was watching the excitement, responded repeatedly: "Fellow Daoist Wang is right. This kind of competition is really too advantageous for cultivators who tame spirit pets."

At this point, he looked at Zhou Daoyi half jokingly and half seriously and said, "It seems that next time in similar activities, in order to prevent the fellow Taoists of the Zhou family from taking the lead, we have to change the rules of the fighting competition!"

When Zhou Daoyi heard what he said, he immediately waved his hand with a serious expression and said, "I don't agree with what you said, Brother Sun. Why are the cultivators of my Zhou family generally lagging behind those of your families in terms of cultivation? Isn't it because we have invested a lot of resources in cultivating spirit pets? If the cultivators of my Zhou family are not allowed to bring spirit pets to fight, wouldn't that be tying their own hands?"

After saying that, he glanced at the heads of the various families and said, "Besides, taming spiritual pets is not a unique skill of our Zhou family. If you Taoist friends feel that carrying spiritual pets is an advantage, you can also let the younger generations tame spiritual pets and carry them into battle!"

These words made Wang Zhixiong and others look at each other in bewilderment, not knowing how to respond.

Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with what Zhou Daoyi said.

But there are huge problems in actual operation.

Let’s not talk about how they managed to equip every member of the family with a spiritual pet.

Even if it is really equipped, as Zhou Daoyi said, if the spirit pet wants to quickly form combat effectiveness and keep up with the master in cultivation, it will also need to consume a lot of resources.

Not every cultivator is willing to spend spirit coins on spirit pets.

So after a moment of silence, Wang Zhixiong chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou has a good plan!"

He looked at Zhou Daoyi with a smile on his face, and said in a joking tone: "If every family of ours really lets the children in the family tame spirit pets, I'm afraid that by then the Zhou family's spirit pet growth pills will be sold out!"

When Zhou Daoyi heard what he said, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Wang, you are joking. If that is the case, the Wang family will make money. After all, the medicinal materials for alchemy still need to be supplied by your Wang family!"

As they chatted and laughed, they tacitly skipped the previous topic of restricting spirit pets from participating in the battle.

On the ring, Zhou Chun's battle with his opponent had reached a critical moment.
