C191 Successful promotion (1/2)
After the end of the second round, the top 16 of the entire Seven Meridians Martial Meeting had appeared on the surface.
If one were to talk about the Great Bamboo Summit, which was easily led by Uncle Tian, then this year's top 16 had three disciples who had come from Great Bamboo Peak.
They were Song Daoren, Zhang Xiaofan, and Tian Ling'er.
Tian Buyi, who was standing on the high platform, nodded his head in satisfaction. This was already a great boost to his reputation. The number of people who had advanced to the next level was one of the best among the main peaks.
There weren't many rookies left in the following Qualifying Competition. They were basically the top disciples of their respective peaks. If they wanted to rely on their luck to get through this trial, they probably wouldn't have much of a chance.
While Zhang Xiaofan was thinking about how to deal with his next opponent, Lin Jingyu was already fighting on the stage. His match was in front of him, and what he would be facing next was Ceng Shushu.
His relationship with Ceng Shushu was also pretty good. As for Ceng Shushu, he also understood him very well. He basically did all sorts of evil deeds, and his strength was only at that level.
Fortunately, it was not Qi Hao. If it was the same as before, Zhang Xiaofan might have been eliminated, even if he met Lu Xueqi, his chances of winning would be very low. It seemed that after competing with Ceng Shushu, he would have to come up with a plan.
As everyone expected, Lin Jingyu once again easily advanced to the next level. Daoist Cang Song smiled in satisfaction.
However, Tian Buyi's expression did not look that good. Out of the three disciples that he had advanced to, only Zhang Xiaofan was left. Song Dazhen and Tian Ling'er had both lost. Zhang Xiaofan had become the hope of the entire village.
Tian Buyi was even a bit upset. This result couldn't be said to be very good, but there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't have much hope for this Seven Meridians Martial Meeting; he didn't have much hope for Zhang Xiaofan.
As for Qi Hao, he had also steadily entered the top eight. They had also shifted their focus onto Zhang Xiaofan.
”The next match will be Zhang Xiaofan against Ceng Shushu.” The referee's voice sounded once more.
Tian Buyi suddenly became spirited. All the hope in the village was placed on Zhang Xiaofan. However, he felt that there was no hope left.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan and Ceng Shushu were already standing on the stage.
”Xiaofan, don't blame me for being ruthless. This isn't like normal people.”
Ceng Shushu smiled. He had initially thought that he would be facing an opponent, but upon seeing that it was Zhang Xiaofan, his heart relaxed a little. He was very clear on Zhang Xiaofan's strength. He was quite confident in himself.
”What is it? ”With such confidence, I've made a lot of progress recently. Don't be careless, I'll try my best not to hold back.”
In this kind of battle for personal honor, no one wanted to go easy on him. Zhang Xiaofan, on the other hand, didn't think that Ceng Shuwen was that hard to deal with.
”Xiaofan, I'm not like senior brother Shen who doesn't use magic treasures.”
As he spoke, Ceng Shushu suddenly pulled out something from his backpack and threw it in front of Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan was truly caught off guard and immediately made his move.
Just as he was about to intervene and defend himself, he realized that what he thought was a hidden weapon was actually flying slowly.
After all this time, it turned out to be a wooden bird.
”Ceng Shushu, what are you doing? Are you trying to plot against me?!”
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. What the hell was this thing?
The guy from Ceng ShuShu was quite surprising.
”Sorry, sorry, I took the wrong one.”
Ceng Shu scratched his head. Wanting to use this thing to obtain victory was too much of a load of bullsh * t.
The disciples who had been looking forward to the exciting battle also had looks of contempt on their faces. This was actually a toy. How did this Ceng Shuwen advance to the competition? He simply didn't care about the competition at all.
”Martial Nephew Ceng really can create surprises.”
Cang Song said in a somewhat mocking tone. Basically, this was the tempo to see who was after who.
Li Jie sat quietly at the side, watching the show.
Uncle Zeng was also feeling a bit awkward on the high platform.
He did not continue to speak and just watched quietly, hoping that Ceng Shushu would not make any more mistakes. Otherwise, he would have nowhere to put his old face.
