Clouds and mountain tops

Hong Jiufeng is also a student of the martial arts department.

The second match was between No. 6 seed Li Xuguang and Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng is also a student who broke through, so his strength is naturally quite outstanding.

After entering the top 64, they won two games in a row and reached the top 16.

Li Xuguang was one of the top four students in the martial arts department's half-yearly competition. He was eliminated by Bailiqi when competing for a place in the finals.

His strength is also quite impressive, and he is on par with the final runner-up Wang Fei.

The strength of these two people can be said to be tit-for-tat, and the fight is difficult to determine.

However, Li Xuguang had experienced the martial arts department's strongest student Baili Qi, so he had more experience in fighting against enemies. In the end, he narrowly won and advanced to the top eight.

The third match was between No. 3 seed Bailiqi and Ouyang Dian.

Ouyang Dian was also a student who broke through. His strength was naturally quite outstanding. After entering the top 64, he also won two games in a row and reached the top 16.

Baili Qi is the champion of the martial arts department's half-year competition!

This match is also very worth looking forward to, because in the second match, Li Xuguang, one of the top four students in the martial arts department's semi-annual competition, and Yang Cheng, who came out of the breakout competition, were evenly matched, so the quality of Bailiqi's championship still needs to be verified in this match.

Although Bailiqi's previous two games were relatively easy, it might be because he did not encounter a true master.

After the two men briefly greeted each other, they began to fight formally.

Before the game, Ouyang Dian watched the replays of Bailiqi's first two rounds. He was quite shocked. He believed that Bailiqi's strength was far beyond that of their students.

So as soon as he started fighting with Bailiqi, he used all his strength and skills without reservation.

But when he came into contact with Bailiqi's fist, he immediately knew that he was no match for Bailiqi, they were not on the same level at all.

Baili Qi thought that at this stage, he could fight with all his might, but as soon as they started fighting, he realized that the opponent was still too weak.

He didn't dare to fight with all his strength and only used 50% of his strength. Even so, Ouyang Dian didn't last more than six moves. Baili Qi punched out and knocked Ouyang Dian off the ring.

Fortunately, Baili Qi held back a lot of his strength, so even though Ouyang Dian was defeated, the scene was not that ugly.

Most of the people watching the game said in their hearts,

"The level of students at this stage is still high. Look at Shield. Although Ouyang Dian lost to the champion of the martial arts department, his loss was not very ugly. Look at those people before, they were all knocked dozens of meters away!"

However, this game was really short, and it was over in just three minutes.

The old elder still had an ugly expression on his face. He was both surprised and puzzled. He couldn't believe that a new student with "Golden II" aptitude could be so strong!

Elder Gu believed in aptitude very much. He believed that only when a person had high aptitude, would he have high comprehension and would be able to make faster progress in martial arts practice.

This is an unchanging truth since ancient times. Why does Bailiqi seem to have broken this truth?

The results of several other games came out soon.

No. 2 seed Dugu Hengliu defeated Lin Chaoyang.

No. 8 seed Chu Liusheng lost to He Jiming.

No. 5 seed Wang Fei defeated Tian Guimin

No. 4 seed Ximen Chuishhuang defeated Dongfang Qiusheng

No. 1 seed Shangguan Tianran defeated Shen Bo

In this way, among the top eight seeds, seeds No. 7 and No. 8 were upset, while the other top seeds passed smoothly.

Among the final eight, the martial arts students included Baili Qi, Li Xuguang, He Jiming, and Wang Fei, accounting for half of the total! Quite impressive!

Among the top eight, there are two disciples of Teacher Zhou, Baili Qi and He Jiming.

But Teacher Zhou was very low-key. He didn't say a word and just sat there drinking tea.

He was very careful about his manners. In such occasions, he could only drink tea and not drink anything that could easily make him drunk. If he made a fool of himself, he would be scolded to death by the head of the sect or the elders.

The matchups for the top eight are as follows:

No. 2 seed Dugu Hengliu vs. No. 6 seed Li Xuguang

No. 3 seed Bailiqi vs. Hong Jiufeng

No. 5 seed Wang Fei vs. No. 4 seed Ximen Chuishhuang

No. 1 seed Shangguan Tianran vs. He Jiming

It just so happened that the martial arts department was competing against other departments. It would be interesting if the martial arts department won. At that time, it was very likely that someone would think that the martial arts department was making a sign.

But if you don’t have enough strength, no matter what kind of signing is of any use!

The competition for the top four has begun!

In the first match, No. 2 seed Dugu Hengliu faced No. 6 seed Li Xuguang

Shangguan Tianran's qualification is "Jade Three" and Dugu Hengliu's qualification is "Jade One". These two are also the two new students with the highest qualifications in the entire sect. They are also the two students that Elder Gu strongly supports. Therefore, they are listed as the top two seeds in this competition, surpassing Baili Qi.

Because there is a legend that people with jade-level qualifications are not ordinary people, they are people who have a certain chance of opening the gate to immortality!

Besides, Dugu Hengliu and Shangguan Tianran’s progress in cultivation is obviously faster than others!

However, it was not easy for Dugu Hengliu to face off against Li Xuguang.

Although Li Xuguang was only one of the top four players in the martial arts department's semi-annual competition, he lost to Bai Liqi when competing with him for a place in the finals.

But his strength is really extraordinary. At this point, he can only live up to his full potential by showing off his abilities.

Li Xuguang was severely restrained in the duel with Baili Qi, but he was not under much pressure when facing Dugu Hengliu and still had a considerable chance of defeating the opponent.

Li Xuguang attacked with all his might, determined to take away half of his opponent's life.

Dugu Hengliu also frowned when facing Li Xuguang's fighting style.

If you fight like this, you might get hurt if you’re not careful.

But I don't have an absolute advantage, so I can only fight with the opponent.

In the final analysis, this situation occurs because the cultivation levels of both parties are not much different. It was not the case when Li Xuguang was fighting against Baili Qi. Li Xuguang had to fly all over the court, dodging Baili Qi's attacks everywhere.

Li Xuguang and Bailiqi have not fought each other since the competition half a year ago, but there are still many rumors in the party.

Li Xuguang is not stupid, he would not seek trouble for himself. If he can't beat him once, he will probably never be able to beat him, so why bother to make himself uncomfortable?

However, when Li Xuguang fought with Dugu Hengliu, he did not feel a lot of pressure at all. He just felt a little bit of pressure, which was very small.

I feel that as long as I try hard, I have a very good chance of defeating my opponent.

Dugu Hengliu was under a little more pressure because he was the second most qualified person in the sect and the second seed in this competition.

If we lose, it will be extremely embarrassing, and it will bring shame to the department and to Elder Gu.

For a moment, Dugu Hengliu was a little distracted and his finger was scratched by Li Xuguang, and then he woke up as if from a dream.
