Chapter 545: The new generation of powerful people in Xingluozhou

"Village head, I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

Outside the Ziyanfu City where Liujia Village is located.

The first round of the elimination match of the Qi Refining Realm Competition had just ended, and Li Lan came to Liu Laosan with a dejected look to admit his mistake.

As one of the only two Qi Refining Realm mid-stage cultivators participating in the competition in Liujia Village, Li Lan was full of confidence before participating in the competition. He had boasted to Liu Laosan many times that he would enter the finals and win glory for Liujia Village.

What Li Lan didn't expect was that he didn't even pass the first round of this Qi Refining Competition, and was directly defeated in the final stage of the elimination match.

Although Liu Yuan, who was standing aside, was lucky enough to advance in the first round of the elimination match in Ziyanfu and qualified to go to the county city to participate in the second round of the elimination match, he was also hit hard at this time and lost his previous confidence.

Looking at Li Lan, who was dejected and had a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, Liu Laosan shook his head slightly and comforted him:

"It's not your fault. You have done very well. There is no need to blame yourself."

Although Li Lan lost in the first round of eliminations and did not reach the finals as Liu Laosan expected before, Liu Laosan did not have any dissatisfaction.

Because before that, not only Li Lan was too conceited, but even Liu Laosan was also a little bit of a sitting well, and underestimated the young generation of strong people in Xingluozhou.

Thinking that with the cultivation of Li Lan and Liu Yuan in the middle stage of Qi Refining Realm, they would have a chance to enter the finals of this Qi Refining Realm Competition.

But this time, there were dozens of Qi Refining Realm cultivators eliminated in the first round of Ziyan Mansion alone.

Even if Liu Yuan had not relied on the primary spell Qingfeng Swordsmanship of Dacheng to defeat his opponent at the last moment, he would probably have failed to advance in the first round of eliminations.

This is also the main reason why Liu Yuan succeeded in advancing but suffered a blow and his confidence was frustrated.

Liu Yuan was very doubtful about his ability to barely advance to the first round of eliminations. Did he really have a chance to enter the finals?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan's eyes showed a trace of confusion.

On the contrary, those people in Liujia Village who were in the early stage of Qi Refining and whose talents were only one or two spiritual root talents did not suffer too much.

Although their morale was somewhat low due to being eliminated, they did not suffer a blow and fell into self-doubt.

After all, they were at the bottom of the cultivation world and had self-knowledge. They did not have the hope of advancing in this Qi Refining Realm Competition.

So compared with the confident Liu Yuan and Li Lan before, they were more adapted to this failure.

Liu Laosan noticed the confusion in the silent Liu Yuan's eyes and sighed in his heart.

Not to mention Li Lan and Liu Yuan, after seeing the overall strength of the younger generation of Xingluozhou, even Liu Laosan himself was frustrated.

The figure who had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm in the first round of the elimination match of Ziyan Mansion appeared in his mind, and Liu Laosan felt bitter.

He had practiced hard for most of his life, but was caught up by others who had practiced for less than ten years.

Comparing people can really make people angry.

Although he was also hit hard, Liu Laosan looked at the silent and confused Liu Yuan and spoke to him:

"Liu Yuan, you don't need to doubt yourself. You and Li Lan have already surpassed many people by breaking through the middle stage of Qi Refining at this age."

"This time, it's the village chief's fault. I underestimated the younger generation of cultivators in Xingluozhou."

"However, it's not a bad thing to use this competition to let you recognize your strength among the younger generation in advance."

"What's more, now is a great time for cultivation. As long as you keep practicing, you may be able to catch up in the future and surpass those opponents who are ahead now."

After saying that, Liu Laosan looked at Liu Yuan and Li Lan with a slightly encouraging look.

The two who heard Liu Laosan's last sentence were slightly shaken and got rid of their negative emotions.

After taking a deep breath, the two of them said in unison with their eyes sparkling:

"Village Chief, we won't let you down."

Seeing this, Liu Laosan burst into laughter and said with great satisfaction:

"Okay, hahahaha, the village chief is already satisfied that you can get rid of the blow you suffered this time."

In fact, Liu Laosan did not deceive Liu Yuan and Li Lan. When their cultivation level is improved and they are qualified to enter the Green Demon Realm to hunt, they do have a chance to surpass others.

However, what Liu Yuan and Li Lan did not know was how slim it was to get this so-called opportunity.

With a flickering gaze, Liu Laosan looked at Liu Yuan and continued:

"Liu Yuan, you have successfully advanced this time. The village chief and the contestants from Liujia Village will follow you to the county city to participate in the second round of eliminations. You don't have to think about entering the finals in this second round of eliminations, just do your best."

"In the competition with your peers, if you can find your own shortcomings and make up for them, it will be the biggest gain of your trip."

Hearing Liu Laosan's words, Liu Yuan subconsciously clenched his fists and nodded vigorously:

"Yes, village chief, I understand."

Afterwards, Liu Laosan took the Liujia Village group to Ziyanfu City to wait for the strong men from Dongxuan City to lead them to the county city to participate in the second round of eliminations.

In fact, it was not just Liu Laosan and his group.

After the first round of eliminations in the Qi Refining Realm in Xingluozhou, the strength shown by many new representatives in Xingluozhou shocked many old-generation cultivators in Xingluozhou.

Before the competition, they knew that there were special cases of "geniuses" in the world of cultivation, but they did not expect that there would be so many so-called "geniuses" in their eyes.

But this is normal.

After all, before Ye Qingxuan unified Xingluozhou and held the Qi Refining Realm cultivator competition in the entire Xingluozhou, most of the cultivators in Xingluozhou only paid attention to their own little bit of land, and knew very little about the new generation of the entire Xingluozhou.

Some cultivators were even too busy with their own cultivation, so how could they have time to pay attention to the younger generation who had nothing to do with them.

Now Ye Qingxuan has gathered most of the new generation cultivators in Xingluozhou and held the Qi Refining Realm Competition that affected the entire Xingluozhou, which is equivalent to exposing the new generation cultivators in Xingluozhou directly to everyone's eyes.

In this way, it naturally broke the limited cognition of many people about the new generation cultivators in Xingluozhou before, and made them fall into self-doubt.

One day later, the first round of eliminations of the Qi Refining Realm Competition in more than 300 prefectures in Xingluozhou had all ended successfully.

Under the command of the strong men of Dongxuan City, the ten winning Qi Refining Realm cultivators from each prefecture rushed to their respective county cities.

Among the more than 3,000 new generation cultivators who advanced to the second round of eliminations of the Qi Refining Realm Competition, all of them were cultivators above the early stage of Qi Refining Realm.

In addition to the contestants with the cultivation level in the middle stage of Qi Refining Realm, there were nearly 200 strong men whose cultivation level had reached the late stage of Qi Refining Realm or even the peak of Qi Refining Realm.

The overall cultivation level of the new generation in Xingluozhou shocked many people and attracted a lot of attention.

"So there are such geniuses in our Xingluo Province? In less than ten years, he has cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining Realm? I was just sitting in a well and looking at the world before."

"Interesting, interesting, even the new generation of Qi Refining Realm in the late stage and even the peak of Qi Refining Realm have appeared. It is worthy of being the new generation competition in the entire Xingluo Province."

"Qi Refining Realm Competition? Xingluo Province's new generation? The cornerstone of my Dongxuan City's future? It's worth it for me to come out of seclusion to take a look."

"Xingluo Province's new generation? Perhaps it is more worthy of the name to say that it is the new generation of Dongxuan City cultivators. Alas, if I had known earlier, "I should have joined Dongxuan City directly when I first started."

"Dongxuan City is a good way to gather the young generation of cultivators from the entire Xingluozhou. If this continues for thousands of years, how deep will the accumulated foundation of Dongxuan City be?

But without the wormhole channel, can the development speed of Dongxuan City, which is hiding in Xingluozhou, really catch up with the forces in other large states?"

Some Dongxuan City cultivators, independent cultivators, and even some spies who were deliberately left behind when other forces evacuated Xingluozhou and were not interested in the first Qi Refining Realm Competition in Xingluozhou.

After the information about the first round of eliminations in the Qi Refining Realm Competition spread, they all looked at the Qi Refining Realm New Generation Competition held in Dongxuan City with various strange eyes.

Many independent cultivators in Xingluozhou and spies left behind by other forces have set off one after another to prepare to go to the county city closest to them to watch the second round of eliminations in the Qi Refining Realm Competition.

Even some of the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm and Purple Mansion Realm who stayed in Dongxuan City to cultivate in seclusion showed great interest in the first Qi Refining Realm Competition in Xingluozhou, and walked out of their retreat caves one after another.

However, although these cultivators in Dongxuan City have come out of retreat, they have no intention of leaving for other county cities, but are waiting for the arrival of the Qi Refining Realm Competition Finals in Dongxuan City.

As low-level cultivators in Dongxuan City, although they are not strong, they have the sense of superiority brought by Dongxuan City.

Only the Qi Refining Realm cultivators who have survived the elimination rounds and come to Dongxuan City to participate in the finals are qualified to come out of retreat to see the duel between the new generation of Qi Refining Realm.

As time passed, on the battle stage outside the twenty county cities in Xingluozhou, the second round of the Qi Refining Realm elimination round was in full swing.

The competition system of the second round of the Qi Refining Competition was different from the first round of elimination rounds.

Although there are more than 3,000 monks who advance to the second round of eliminations, there are only less than 200 monks in each of the 20 counties.

In order to select the real strong ones to go to Dongxuan City to participate in the finals, the second round of eliminations is much more rigorous.

Although it is also a random duel between two people at the beginning, the winner advances.

However, the loser will not be eliminated directly, and the loser group will randomly fight two people again.

If you lose two games, you will be eliminated directly.

If you win three games in a row in the loser group, you can enter the winner group again to participate in the competition.

This cycle will be repeated until the strongest ten people are decided, and then these ten people will have one-on-one duels one after another.

The winner will get one point, and the loser will not lose points.

In the end, the monks ranked in the top five in points will have the opportunity to go to Dongxuan City to participate in the finals.

However, due to the large number of battles in the cycle, this second round of eliminations will last about half a month.

For a full half month, the cultivators in the second round of eliminations fought round after round, and many new generation strongmen made certain breakthroughs in cultivation or spells during the battle.

After rounds of fighting, Liu Yuan from Liujia Village had already been eliminated, and was now watching the duel of other cultivators with people from Liujia Village.

Although he failed to advance to the finals, Liu Yuan gained a lot from this trip.

I believe that after returning, he can make some progress in both cultivation and magic.

In addition, in other county cities.

Shi Huang from Shi Village, Yuan Qingcheng from Yuanqing Prefecture City, Li Taibai from Taibai Prefecture City, Wang Teng from Taiyuan County City, Xiao Yuexian from Liyan County City and other new generation strongmen.

In the elimination matches of their respective county cities, they swept one after another.

Half a month later, at the end of the second round of elimination matches, some of them maintained their undefeated record, while others lost one or two games.

But without exception, they all qualified to go to Dongxuan City to participate in the finals of the Qi Refining Realm Competition.

On the open-air battle stage outside Taiyuan County City, Shi Huang stood on the stage with bare hands and a bit embarrassed. At this time, he was exhausted of spiritual power and had no strength to fight again.

"Yue Xiling won the last match."

"The elimination match of our Taiyuan County City has officially ended. Those who have qualified for the finals in Dongxuan City are:

Taiyuan County City·Yue Xiling, Taiyuan County City·Zidutian, Xueyou Mansion·Lengren, Diyuan Mansion·Zhang Xinghao, Shicun·Shihuang!"

Now all the villages, towns, and cities in Xingluozhou are directly under Dongxuan City, so there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates between Shicun, Fucheng, and County City.

So in this Qi Refining Realm Competition, the contestants are prefixed with their villages, towns, or cities.

When Shihuang heard the final announcement, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the figure not far away with a slight bitterness.

In the elimination match of Taiyuan County City, although his cultivation had broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, he still lost two games.

The first game was before his cultivation had broken through, and he lost to Xueyou Mansion·Lengren.

The second game was after his cultivation had broken through, and he finally lost to Taiyuan County City·Yue Xiling.

Taking a deep breath, the bitterness in Shi Huang's heart instantly dissipated, and his eyes regained their initial calmness.

It was just a Qi Refining Realm Competition.

And he was the youngest in the Taiyuan Prefecture City Elimination Tournament.

Give him time, and he will naturally surpass all the strong enemies.

Huoyuan County.

Yuan Qingcheng had a blank expression on her delicate face, holding a spear and scanning the contestants of Huoyuan County, with a sense of pride in her heart.

It was because she won all the games in the elimination tournament of Huoyuan County.

None of the contestants in Huoyuan County were worthy of her all-out fight, so she easily won the qualification to go to Dongxuan City to participate in the finals.

She was determined to win the first place in this new generation Qi Refining Competition.

Taiyuan County City.

Wang Teng looked at the figure holding a long sword on the battle stage, who was fighting the enemy with ease, with a gloomy face, and a trace of haze appeared in his eyes.

He who thought the first place in the final of the Qi Refining Competition was a sure thing, unexpectedly lost in the second elimination round.

The person who defeated him was currently fighting the last battle of the second elimination round on the battle stage.

Nangong Ji from Nanyu Mansion, a pure sword cultivator.
