Chapter 322 Semi-final
Chapter 322 Semi-final
Murong Wanqing said helplessly, "You little bird don't seem to like me."
Xiang Nan whispered in Murong Wanqing's ear.
"Really?" Murong Wanqing was stunned, "Is there such a thing?"
As she spoke, she took out a glittering gem from her storage ring and handed it to Little Sparrow.
Little Sparrow used lightning-fast speed to grab the gem with one mouth, and her attitude changed drastically. She hugged Murong Wanqing's face with her two wings, and her little head rubbed against her face affectionately.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Luo Yuan said, "Xiang Nan, what kind of bird are you? Why are you so rich?"
Murong Wanqing smiled and took out another glittering gem. "Dance, this gem belongs to you," she said.
The little bird immediately flapped its wings and flew around in the air.
Xiang Nan rubbed his temples and pulled the little bird over, feeling embarrassed and thrown home.
Luo Yuan and the others found it unbelievable and looked at the little bird with strange eyes.
At this moment, Elder Shi Beihong announced in the sky, "The battle for the top four is over. The winning list is as follows."
"Haoran Sect's Xiang Nan, Tian Xuanzong's Xiang Long, Tian Xuanzong's Yi Dong, and Hao Ran Sect's Murong Wanqing."
"Three days later, the semi-finals will be held. The four of them will fight in the arena. The winner will directly advance to the finals."
Hearing this, everyone's mood for fun disappeared.
"Hu … this is a real battle." Mo Hai said worriedly, "The thing I'm most afraid of is coming. No matter what number you call next, it won't be easy."
They were either fighting Xiang Long or Yi Dong. These two people were the strongest existences of the The Profound Sky Sect !
Xiang Long's strength was at its peak, while Yi Dong's Yuan Qi was at its peak! These two people were existences in the same realm that could be said to be inexplicable.
Up until now, no one had been able to truly contend against the two of them! Even Spread out had only forced Xiang Long out of his berserk state and didn't put him on the brink of death.
"Whatever is supposed to come will come." Xiang Nan took a deep breath and said, "As long as Sunset and I are not in the same team, it will be fine."
Today's match is over. Everyone, let's go.
After returning to the Haoran Sect, Xiang Nan and Murong Wanqing were immediately summoned by the Board of Elders.
"Do you two have confidence in the semi-final in three days?" In the elders' group, Elder Shi Beihong asked as a representative.
Xiang Nan and Murong Wanqing exchanged glances and said in unison, "Yes!"
"Yes." Shi Beihong nodded, "Tomorrow's battle is very important. If both of you are eliminated, then we won't have to wait until the finals. We will lose completely."
"So no matter what, both of you have to go all out!"
Xiang Nan and Murong Wanqing cupped their fists at the same time, "Elder, please rest assured!"
Shi Beihong said, "You have been through a lot of battles these past few days. You should be physically and mentally exhausted. Even if your body can recover, mental exhaustion is inevitable."
"These are two pills personally refined by the Half-Gourd Peak Master. They can nourish the body and nourish the spirit. They can restore the two of you to your peak condition. Take them for consumption."
"Thank you, Elder." Xiang Nan and Murong Wanqing took the pills respectively.
"I still have two pieces of armor here. All you need to do is put them on." An elder walked down with two sets of light and gorgeous brocade clothes in his hand.
"Han Xuan, no." Shi Beihong shook his head.
Then Elder Han Xuan said, "But … we have to put the overall situation first, as long as we can win …"
"There's no need to say anything else. Take back your armor." Shi Beihong shook his head. "As I said, our Haoran Sect is based on loyalty and righteousness, and we have established our sect on virtue."
"If you use such shameless methods, even if you win against the The Profound Sky Sect , the foundation of our Haoran Sect will disappear completely."
When the elders heard this, they were speechless.
Xiang Nan bowed to the elders, "Please rest assured, elders, the two of us will go all out to win!"
"That's good. Go." Shi Beihong waved his hand.
Xiang Nan and the other two took their leave.
After returning to Sun Peak, Xiang Nan swallowed the pill Shi Beihong had given him, then sat down cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal properties of the pill.
A strange medicinal power slowly spread in his body, and he immediately felt comfortable. The pores in his body seemed to be able to breathe, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to his heart's content.
Slowly, Xiang Nan closed his eyes and a warm beam of sunlight shone down, covering his entire body.
In the outside world, the entire Haotian City had fallen into an unprecedented tense atmosphere. Everyone was looking forward to the semi-finals, and at the same time, their hearts were filled with incomparable fear.
The prosperity of Haotian City was based on the location of the Haoran Sect. If the reputation of the Haoran Sect was seriously damaged, then the entire Haotian City would be implicated.
Many people lined up and wanted to see Xiang Nan and Murong Wanqing. They planned to offer spirit herb pills to help the two of them.
However, during these three days, no one was allowed to enter the seclusion of the Haoran Sect.
As for Haojing, they also closely followed the progress of the joint examination. The envoys they had appointed to Haojing had tried their best to persuade the elders to give the two of them a good weapon, but they were all rejected.
Xiang Nan didn't know what was going on outside. He could only use these three precious days to cultivate hard.
Early in the morning on the fourth day, it was the semi-final that everyone was paying attention to.
Xiang Nan let out a long breath and finally opened his eyes. However, the first thing he saw was Xu Caiyue standing quietly in front of him.
"Master!" Xiang Nan hurriedly stood up and said, "This disciple has cultivated too deeply. I don't know if Master has come. Please forgive me."
"How long have you been waiting for me here?"
Xu Caiyue waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about the complicated etiquette. I'm not that particular. Here is an ice crystal I refined overnight. Take it."
"The semi-finals are extremely dangerous. I can't help but use the Sun God Technique. If I find a backlash, I'll swallow this ice crystal. I can protect your life."
Xiang Nan took the ice crystal and said, "This disciple is unworthy. I've wasted my master's strength."
That tiny ice crystal was very difficult to refine. It was specifically used to suppress the backlash of the sun's power. It could not be replaced by spiritual herbs or other items. Only experts who cultivated the Sun God Technique could refine it themselves.
Every time he refined one, Xu Caiyue's cultivation achievements would be burnt to ashes.
A few months was only a matter of time for other martial artists, but for martial artists who cultivated the Sun God Technique, it was difficult and dangerous step by step. Every time they cultivated, they could fall into a life and death crisis.
However, Xu Caiyue didn't care at all. "You have the talent for lightning meridians and are more suitable for cultivating the Sun God Technique. Your life is more precious than Master's."
Xiang Nan's throat moved. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xu Caiyue, then stood up and rushed to the battlefield.
Today was the quietest day in the Hao Ran Mountain Range.
Without flowers, applause, cheers, and applause, everyone anxiously waited for the results of the drawing of lots.
"Heavens bless our Blue Tide Continent. Please make sure that Xiang Nan and Murong Wanqing get together."
"That's right. As long as the two of them are divided together, one of them will definitely enter the finals."
The spectators' thoughts were completely different from the contestants'.
If it was Xiang Nan versus Murong Wanqing, then no matter who won, they would enter the finals.
Rou Ze, if both of them were assigned to the same group as the Heavenly Profound Sect martial artists, if both of them were defeated, wouldn't they not even be able to enter the finals?
"Alright, let's start drawing lots." Elder Shi Beihong personally presided over the drawing of lots and said, "Please step forward, four contestants."
