Chapter 63: Both Teams Instantly Kill Their Opponents and Advance Directly to the Finals
Noon, at the Lu Family Compound.
The competition came to an end, and everyone was having lunch in the courtyard.
The winner of the second round was called to an inner room to draw lots to determine his opponent in the next round.
When Li Cunzhen entered the room, Li Muxuan, Feng Ping, and Lu Xuan were already seated inside.
The latter was holding a wooden box, presumably for drawing lots.
"elder brother."
"Master Li."
"Nephew Li Xian."
Upon seeing him enter, the three people inside greeted him.
Li Cunzhen responded with a smile, then glanced around the room and asked.
"Where's Fellow Daoist Zhang? I haven't seen him."
Before he could finish speaking...
Zhang Zhiwei's voice came from outside the door.
"Here I am! Here I am! Hehe, sorry everyone, I'm late!"
Then I saw him hurrying in from outside the door, dressed in sloppy clothes, with a lot of dust on his knees.
Seeing his appearance, everyone knew that he had been forced to kneel as punishment by the Heavenly Master again.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what's going on?"
Upon seeing this, Li Cunzhen asked.
Zhang Zhiwei pursed his lips upon hearing this.
"It's nothing. My senior brother told me not to talk about Fellow Daoist Lu's matter today."
As he spoke, he shook his head, looking indignant.
"To be honest, what Master said was unnecessary. Am I that kind of person? Going around spreading other people's embarrassing stories."
Upon hearing this answer, Li Cunzhen's lips twitched slightly.
If he remembers correctly, in the original story, Zhang Zhiwei spread the news to the vegetable-selling aunties at the foot of the mountain in less than two days after returning to Longhu Mountain.
Li Muxuan and Feng Ping couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, Lu Xuan coughed a few times, interrupting the topic, and handed the box to everyone.
"Everyone, the same rules apply as before: four paper balls, put them in pairs."
Everyone nodded and took action.
Then, open the crumpled paper at the same time and read out the words on it.
"I am A."
"I am B."
Although the four people spoke at the same time, causing some confusion, they were all highly skilled individuals and could easily distinguish each other's voices.
Li Cunzhen looked in the direction of the sound and met Li Muxuan's gaze.
The latter's eyelids twitched, and he felt helpless.
I was going to get beaten up by my brother at the Sanyi Gate, and now that I'm at the Lu family, I'm going to get beaten up by my brother again.
Zhang Zhiwei and Feng Ping both drew the character "乙".
The latter looked at Zhang Zhiwei with great interest.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang! I've been keeping an eye on you since the very first round, but I haven't been able to get a match until now. Now I finally have the chance to experience the methods of your Celestial Master's Mansion!"
Then Fengping moved closer to Zhang Zhiwei and grinned.
"Hehe, remember to hold back then. I don't want to end up like Lu Jin, knocked unconscious with a single slap. You'd better use some tricks up your sleeve, like the Golden Light Spell or some kind of lightning magic, right?"
Like Feng Ping, Zhang Zhiwei was very outgoing and immediately pulled him into his arms upon hearing this.
"Alright! Since you've said so, Junior Brother Feng, how could I possibly keep it a secret?"
Amidst laughter and merriment.
Everyone came out of the inner room and went to the courtyard for dinner.
During this time, Li Cunzhen saw that Lu Jin had reappeared in the courtyard, but her eyes were still a little red.
Soon after.
After lunch, everyone returned to the area beneath the stage.
Then they heard the Lu family members shout.
"Round 3, Match 1"
"Li Cunzhen of the Sanyi Sect versus Li Muxuan of the Sanyi Sect."
"Please come up on stage, both of you."
There's not much to say about this match; both used the same methods, but Li Cunzhen's life cultivation far surpassed Li Muxuan's.
To save Li Muxuan's face, Li Cunzhen held back and fought him for several rounds.
The former was subsequently defeated.
No one in the audience was surprised, except for Old Master Lu, who smiled at Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong beside him.
"Haha, it seems I haven't done enough. At this rate, I'll be able to witness the final battle between your two esteemed disciples today."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.
One of the reasons they both attended the banquet was for this purpose.
During the conversation between the three.
Another competition begins.
"Round 3, Match 2"
"Zhang Zhiwei of the Celestial Master's Mansion, facing Fengping of the Huodezong."
"Please come up on stage, both of you."
The audience looked up at the stage and saw Zhang Zhiwei and Feng Ping leap onto the stage.
"Senior Brother Zhang, don't forget our previous agreement!"
Unlike Li Muxuan, who was in a bad mood ever since the results of the lottery, Fengping always had a smile on his face.
Zhang Zhiwei nodded upon hearing this.
"Of course! I'll also warm up so I can spar with Fellow Daoist Li later."
The two chatted animatedly, as if they had known each other for a long time, rather than just having just met.
Then, the bell rang.
Zhang Zhiwei nodded to Feng Ping, and then his whole body radiated a vast and magnificent golden light.
Golden Light Curse!
Fengping's eyes suddenly lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.
"That's really kind of you!"
Without hesitation, he unleashed a burst of golden fire from his hand, transforming it into a golden crow that hurtled toward Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Zhiwei neither dodged nor avoided the attack, making no move whatsoever.
The golden crow disintegrated automatically when it approached his body, as if it had collided with something unshakeable.
Undeterred by the sight, Feng Ping unleashed several more golden flames.
But the moment these golden flames approached Zhang Zhiwei, they all vanished without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea.
Fifteen minutes later, Fengping completely lost his temper.
However, before admitting defeat, he still had to be greedy.
Fengping thought for a moment, then his eyes darted around and he waved his hand.
"Senior Brother Zhang! I've had enough of this Golden Light Mantra. Show me something else. I'm going down now."
"Okay!"
Zhang Zhiwei was indeed generous, nodding in agreement upon hearing this.
Before he could finish speaking...
A white bolt of lightning, as thick as a wrist, shot out from his hand and headed straight for Fengping.
Fengping was completely powerless to fight back and was knocked off the stage.
In mid-air, he spoke with his last breath.
"Senior Brother Zhang is a kind and honest person!"
Seeing this, everyone was both amused and exasperated.
Someone spoke to Master Chu.
"Old Chu, your child truly has the heart of a child."
Some people also looked at Zhang Jingqing.
"Master, your esteemed disciple has quite the unconventional personality!"
Both of them looked helpless.
However, this episode did not last long, and soon everyone's attention turned to another matter.
They looked up at the sky, then all turned to look at Lu Xuan.
It was still some time before nightfall.
In other words, the final is about to begin.
It should be noted that, judging from Li Cunzhen and Zhang Zhiwei's previous performances, both of them can be described as once-in-a-millennium prodigies, surpassing Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong of the same age at that time.
The question of who is stronger between these two extraordinary talents has naturally become a very important topic.
After all, this matter will determine the landscape of the supernatural world for decades or even centuries to come.
It could even be a moment to witness history!
Therefore, whether it is the four major families, various Xuanmen sects, or other sects.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating this decisive battle.
Apart from Zhang Jingqing and his apprentice, and Zuo Ruotong and his apprentice, who were directly involved in the competition.
The most excited person was Old Master Lu.
Firstly, he was looking forward to seeing outstanding young people compete, which would be lively and energetic.
Secondly, his own birthday banquet could become the catalyst for this competition, and if word got out, he would benefit from it too!
Lu Xuan understood Old Master Lu's intentions and, without needing the elder to say more, directly arranged for the final competition to begin.
So, the young man from the Lu family went back onto the stage.
But then he read it aloud.
"finals."
"Li Cunzhen of the Sanyi Sect is opposite Zhang Zhiwei of the Celestial Master's Mansion."
"Please come up on stage, both of you."
