Ascension Through Generations

After Zhao Sheng read the contents of the jade slip, he saw that the jade slip suddenly exploded into a ball of brilliance, and then collapsed instantly.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng was not surprised at all. After all, the matter of manipulating the game must not be exposed to light, and destroying the evidence in advance is also the proper intention.

However, the pattern of the people behind the scenes is a bit stingy after all.

Although he promised top-grade foundation-building pills and top-grade spiritual swords in the jade slips, he even took the initiative to return all the bets, and also gave away thirty thousand spiritual stones.

However, the person in charge never imagined that Zhao Sheng would not despise this thing at all.

What's more important is that this matter may be a test deliberately set by the Chen family's Yuanying ancestors!

For these old ghosts who have lived for more than a thousand years, Zhao Sheng never underestimates them, and he is never afraid to speculate on their thoughts from the most insidious angle.

"Let's go! Tomorrow is the last day to get up early."

Zhao Sheng shook his head, turned around and said hello to Chen Ying's seventh daughter, before taking the lead in boarding the Crane Speeder.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ying and others boarded the speed car and got into the carriage.

Later, two cranes dragged the flying car and swooped down from the edge of the canopy, quickly disappearing behind the dense branches and leaves.

…

There was nothing to say all night, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day.

In the early morning, the morning sun rises, and light clouds and mist cover the Nodayun Terrace.

At this time, the Cloud Terrace was crowded with people, densely packed with people already standing there.

Zhao Sheng, Chen Minglong, Chen Mingyin, Chen Mingsha and other ten outstanding people who stood out from thousands of their peers were standing in a row on a huge arena that was several miles long and wide, enjoying the envy of their peers. look.

A moment later, the short, fat old man held a dark arm-thick black lottery tube in his hand, flew up from the white jade platform, and landed on the ring in an instant.

"Each person draws a lottery number. The two people who draw the same number will be the opponent in the next game. Which of you comes first?" The short and fat old man patted the lottery tube and said very simply.

Zhao Sheng didn't hesitate after hearing this. He immediately stretched out his hand to hit the lotus tube, and a slender sign suddenly rose into the air and fell into his hand.

He looked down and saw a big word written on the signature.

Upon seeing this, the other nine people also took out a sign and drew out their own numbers.

…

"The first game, Chen Mingxi vs. Chen Mingsha! You stay on the stage, others leave as soon as possible." The short and fat old man swept the signatures from everyone's hands and said immediately with a serious face.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately jumped off the stage, leaving only Zhao Sheng and a tall young man with a simple and honest appearance.

This person was Chen Mingsha. When he saw that his opponent was Zhao Sheng, he suddenly had a bitter look on his face. He hurriedly pulled down the yellow gourd from his waist, clapped his hands on the gourd, and a large amount of yellow sand spurted out from the mouth of the gourd, filling the air in the blink of an eye. Most of the arena was roaring and rolling like a sandstorm, almost burying everything.

Chen Mingsha stepped back, his figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the sandstorm, and he has not been seen since.

And as part of the yellow sand gathered on the surface of the human body, a faint brilliance circulated, and the yellow sand quickly condensed into a thick earth-yellow armor.

"This person is actually a sand cultivator, which is quite rare." Zhao Sheng looked at the approaching sandstorm and thought to himself noncommittally.

In an instant, a streak of yellow light suddenly flew out from the sandstorm, which turned out to be more than a dozen finger-sized yellow beads.

As soon as these yellow orbs landed on the ground, they burst into yellow light, and then turned into huge rock puppets that were two feet tall and had all four limbs.

At a glance, each diamond puppet was covered with a thick layer of stone armor, holding a thigh-thick stone axe, and rushed towards Zhao Sheng in the blink of an eye.

These diamond puppets have rough skin and thick flesh, and are very resistant to beatings. It can be said that the strength of each one is not inferior to Qi Refining Dzogchen.

With more than ten diamond puppets joining forces, they can even compete with a third-level foundation-building monk without falling behind.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng pinched his sword finger, pointed forward, and shouted coldly: "Quick!"

Before he finished speaking, the red gold flying sword suddenly shot out. The sword body shook and instantly divided into nine golden sword lights.

The sword light was like lightning, piercing through the chests of nine diamond puppets in succession before it exhausted its power and dissipated.

There were several loud "boom" and "boom" sounds.

The nine-headed giant puppet fell to the ground with a crash, and its bodies collapsed one after another, shattering into countless large and small stones.

"What? Only one sword is used!" Chen Minglong, one of the top ten, suddenly turned pale and shouted, while the other eight people's expressions also changed slightly.

The heart core of the diamond puppet is hidden in the chest, which is also the place where its defense is strongest. However, it cannot block a mere sword light.

In the depths of the sandstorm, Chen Mingsha's face turned pale at this moment, and it was obvious that he was deeply traumatized by this.

However, the next moment, just as he mustered up the courage to control the remaining puppets again and rush towards his opponent, the expression on his face froze instantly.

Chen Mingsha slowly lowered his head, just in time to see a looming small crystal sword pressed against his chest.

He should be proud enough that he actually "forced" Zhao Sheng to use the second flying sword.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out to recall the red gold flying sword, and looked at the endless sandstorm with a half-smile.

The next second, the dust storm all over the sky turned into pillars of sand, crawling back into the yellow sand gourd.

Chen Mingsha hung the yellow sand gourd back to his waist with a disappointed look on his face, and raised his right hand to indicate that he had given up.

Seeing this scene, the crowd watching in the audience suddenly burst into an uproar.

Everyone was confused and had no idea why Chen Mingsha suddenly surrendered.

The junior Qi Lian couldn't see clearly the entire fight, but the short, fat old man who was the referee could see it clearly.

Not only this person, but also the elders of the Chen family sitting on the white jade platform were aware of the existence of the invisible sword. Naturally, they knew very well why Chen Mingsha was defeated so miserably.

"Hey, this kid can actually control two flying swords at the same time. Could it be that he has the ability to multi-purpose?"

Looking at Zhao Sheng walking down the ring, the fat old man Si Liwuwo took a breath and said with surprise.

Chen Daqian, who was sitting next to this person, answered with a smile: "It's just opportunistic. Brother Wuwu, don't worry about it."

Si Liwuwo looked at the head of the Chen family with deep meaning, suddenly smiled, but said nothing more.

After Zhao Sheng's lightning victory, extremely fierce battles started one after another.

Thousands of Chen family disciples below the ring were mesmerized by the wonderful fighting scenes, and they gave out loud cheers from time to time.

Except for Zhao Sheng, the other top ten players are all Qi Refining Dzogchen, and their strength is almost the same.

Therefore, the subsequent battles will usually last for a long time, and the loser is often due to a single move difference, and the winner also has a very difficult time winning.

Things in the world are often most afraid of comparison.

Once Zhao Sheng's easy victory was used as a comparison, everyone was shocked to realize that Chen Mingxi's strength was so terrifying, that he was simply much stronger than the others.

Near noon, the first round of the top ten competitions was finally over.

The top five are freshly announced, and the remaining five losers compete for the last five names.

In a battle between five people, one person is bound to get a bye.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but Zhao Sheng happened to draw the blank sign.

As a result, he was "lucky" and automatically promoted to the top three.

…

As the sun sets, a cloud of fire breaks out in the sky.

Zhao Sheng dozed off for most of the afternoon, and finally waited for the other two lucky ones.

One of them is none other than Chen Minglong, who had the loudest voice before the competition.

The last one is a woman. This woman comes from the ancestral line. Her name is Chen Mingyin. She is only twenty-two years old and has already reached the level of Qi Refining for one year.

Chen Mingyin is a dark horse besides Zhao Sheng. She managed to fight all the way to the end with her slender body. She can truly be called a hero among women.

According to past practice, the battle between the top three will involve drawing lots.

Sure enough, Zhao Sheng was lucky enough to win the bye draw again.

If it weren't for Zhao Sheng's strength being obvious to all, the audience might not be able to help but shout for the shady money to be refunded.

But everyone knew that there was something fishy in this lottery, but no one raised any objection.

So, in full view of everyone, Zhao Sheng sat down majestically, eating the delicacies brought to his mouth by the Seventh Girl, while watching the other two opponents fight to the death on the stage, looking very leisurely and at ease!

…

"Knife, attack her!" Chen Minglong raised his eyebrows and shouted suddenly.

Following his command, a half-human-tall, emerald-green mantis with a broadsword suddenly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Chen Mingyin's eyes among the electric volcanoes.

Swish!

Two pieces of emerald "saber light" violently tore through the air, and lightning struck Chen Mingyin's neck.

The Great Sword Spirit Mantis is an ancient insect. Not only is it incredibly fast, but its pair of blade-like forelimbs are also extremely sharp. It is even better than ordinary flying knives.

What's more, Chen Minglong's spiritual mantis has already broken through the second level. Not only is its strength comparable to that of a foundation-building monk, but it has already been connected to its master's soul, and there is no need to give orders personally.

The instruction just now was just a cover.

Chen Mingyin seemed to have been prepared for it. Without saying a word, she exhaled and said, "Zha!"

As soon as the word "Zha" came out, it instantly turned into billowing sound waves, easily shattering the two incoming sword lights, and at the same time, the true form of the big sword mantis was revealed.

The next second, the Great Sword Mantis made a "hissing" sound from its mouth, and the two blades of its forelimbs crossed. Suddenly, lightning flashed, and dense sword light poured out like a torrential rain, covering Chen Mingyin's whole body for a while.

Chen Mingyin twisted her waist, her slender body suddenly elongated, and emerged from the blade net like a ghost.

And in the blink of an eye, an unusually strange appearance appeared behind Chen Minglong. He raised his hand and a ray of silver-white lightning penetrated the void and disappeared in a flash.

Even though Chen Minglong had experienced countless fights, he never expected that there was someone in the Qi Refining Realm whose movement skills were even faster and weirder than his spiritual pet.

At this time, he had no time to dodge. He could only activate the defensive spell of the robe with one thought, and in an instant, the thin robe turned into a black iron armor.

But how can a mere black iron armor block a spiritual weapon-level magic hairpin.

With a muffled sound, the magic hairpin penetrated the iron armor and disappeared into the man's vest, and then flew out from the chest, bringing with it a large amount of blood.

Chen Minglong's face turned pale on the spot, and his body was immediately severely injured. His spiritual power was also dispersed, and he was temporarily unable to fight back.

"It's such a pity..." The short, fat old man sighed secretly when he saw this.

After seeing this scene, several Jindan masters had different expressions, but they quickly became as calm as water.

The winner was decided, and the pudgy old man immediately announced that Chen Mingyin had won.

Then, as usual, the short and fat old man asked Chen Mingyin if he needed a rest to recover his spiritual power. Unexpectedly, the woman unexpectedly admitted defeat and admitted that she was no match for Chen Mingxi.

Now it's great that we don't even have to fight in the last game.

Zhao Sheng drew empty lots consecutively, and in the end he easily won the first place in the competition without even breaking a sweat.

Shhhhh!

For a moment, the audience burst into boos, accusing Chen Mingyin of being fearful of the enemy.

However, Chen Mingyin did not give any explanation for her choice. Because being a woman is the best explanation for finishing second in the competition.

In fact, Chen Mingyin does not have a strong desire to win and does not care much about fame.

Anyway, the top three can get a high-grade foundation-building pill, so why bother facing the terrifying Chen Mingxi!

Besides, she is also self-aware and believes that she is no match for Chen Mingxi.

As Chen Mingyin took the initiative to admit defeat, the top ten names of the competition were finally finalized, and Zhao Sheng actually "won" the first place.

This result surprised everyone and left Zhao Sheng quite speechless.

At this time, on the white jade high platform, the boy with white eyebrows disappeared without knowing it. Chen Daqian stood up and was about to announce the result of the competition.

At this moment, Si Li Wuwo suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Wait a minute!"

Um?

Chen Daqian's eyes flashed, he turned to look at this person, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Wuwu, do you have something to say?"

"good!"

Si Li Wuwo nodded, then raised his voice slightly and shouted to the audience: "Qiu'er, come out!"

Just when everyone was confused, a road suddenly parted in the crowd, and then a golden light flashed, and a smiling young man walked out of the crowd.

This man was about twenty years old, with handsome features, but he was wearing a gold robe embroidered with dragons, which made him look a bit domineering.

The young master didn't even look at the others, but walked straight to the white jade platform, cupped his hands into fists, and saluted everyone in the Chen family.

"I met all the seniors in Xia Si Li Qiu!"

When Chen Daqian heard this, he was slightly startled at first, and then showed a look of shock. But after a slight hesitation, he said with a smile: "My good nephew does not need to be polite. May I ask the True Lord Samadhi whether his old man is well?"

"My ancestors are getting younger day by day. We don't need to worry about the younger generation!" Si Liqiu said with something in mind.

"Ahem! Brother Wuwo, this is your fault. Since your nephew is already here, why don't you invite him to the stage." Chen Daqian suddenly turned around and "complained" about Cheese Li Wuwo.

Si Liwuwo laughed, shook his head and said. "Qiu'er deliberately asked for this, so I can't blame you."

"Uncle is right! I would like to take a close look at the strength of your peers. I have to say that the Chen family has produced many talented people from generation to generation. In the past few days, my horizons have been greatly broadened!"

Although Si Liqiu's words were very beautiful, the smiling expression on his face was disgusting, and he clearly didn't mean what he said.
