Chapter 62 I Prefer Playing with Numbers Rather than Operations
"Brother Bi, this is the Qianying Formation Flag.
Hearing Bi Mengzhi's question, Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "This is my preparation for this outer sect competition."
"You have defeated them all, why are you preparing this?" Bi Meng was anxious. He is so strong and yet so cautious. This is not giving people a way to survive and a chance.
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan's face straightened, he shook his head and said:
"Brother Bi, this is wrong."
"At that time, there was still some time before the outer sect competition. So what if I won at that time."
"Don't you think that after three days of separation, you should look at me with admiration? If I stagnate, others will surpass me in strength in a short period of time, either through experience or through enlightenment."
"If I don't prepare more, I will regret it if I fail."
"It's just that I didn't expect that Brother Tuoba and the others would encounter a sneak attack by the Moon Shadow Pavilion assassins."
"However, now that we have come this far, we naturally have to use the Thousand Shadow Formation Flag."
As soon as this was said, the whole audience applauded.
"Every time Young Master Zhou speaks, he is thought-provoking. What he says is really good!"
"Yes, those arrogant and conceited people will either lose or die in battle. In this world, the winner is king after all."
"I was expecting an upset, but Mr. Zhou is so strong and cautious. There is really no suspense about the leader of the outer sect."
Because of the soundproofing ban, of course no one could hear the conversation between Zhou Xuan and Bi Mengzhi.
But there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
Some people who can read lips have emerged.
They often gather in venues where the championship is popular. As long as people in the ring are talking, they will read their lips and relay them to everyone.
Before the outer sect competition even started, the two outer sect disciples on the ring began to bicker with each other. This was something that often happened in the past and was very exciting.
"Thousand Shadow Formation Flag?"
Just when everyone was praising Zhou Xuan, outside the soundproof area, a middle-aged man looked at the three formation flags and couldn't help but exclaimed.
He shouted and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Although everyone knows from lip reading that this formation flag is called the Thousand Shadows Formation Flag, they really don’t know what its actual function is.
"Brother Zeng, do you know the function of this formation flag?"
"If what Mr. Zhou said is true, this Thousand Shadows Formation Flag should be the matching formation flag for the "Thousand Shadows Sword Art" technique."
Seeing the people around him looking at him, the man named Zeng Yi was not afraid of the stage. He spoke eloquently:
"I have a good friend who is an inner disciple of Shidu Peak. This person likes to study some unpopular formation knowledge, and this Thousand Shadows Formation Flag is one of them."
"It's just that the Thousand Shadows Formation Flag is the least popular among the unpopular, because refining the Thousand Shadows Formation Flag requires illusion stones."
"Illusion Stone?" someone exclaimed, "Isn't this the material for refining the phantom five-element array in the Dragon Transformation Realm?"
"Yes, that's why the Thousand Shadows Formation Flag is unpopular and is known as useless in Shidu Peak."
"Just because it's unpopular doesn't mean that the Thousand Shadow Formation Flag is not strong, it just isn't worth refining by the formation mages."
"I heard that as soon as the Thousand Shadow Formation Flag is activated, countless sharp swords turn into a river of swords..."
"Brother Zeng, there is no need to say anything more, we have all seen it."
When Zeng Yi couldn't stop talking, the game also started.
Having reached this point, Zhou Xuan would not hold back any longer. With Qi Gathering Pill in his mouth, as soon as the Thousand Shadows Sword Formation was activated, Bi Mengzhi's ears could hear the sound of countless weapons intertwining.
Just one look made him choke.
The river of swords flowed quickly and quickly, and countless sharp swords were in front of them in the blink of an eye, like arrows.
He had never heard of the Thousand Shadows Sword Formation, so he only thought that the swords in the sword river were all physical.
"Abstain! I abstain!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jianhe River that was very close at hand paused suddenly, then the flow turned around, circled in the sky, and then gradually dissipated.
"Zhou Xuansheng!"
Seeing this, Kong Xinmei, the senior sister of Zizhu Peak, immediately announced Zhou Xuan's victory. She looked at Zhou Xuan with eyes like stars and smiled at him.
Seeing Zhou Xuan smile back, Kong Xinmei's eyes flashed. Although she could crush Zhou Xuan to death with one hand, she still didn't dare to look directly at him.
Zeng Yi had a look on his face, "It seems that my friend is not lying. Once the Thousand Shadows Sword Formation is activated, there are as many sharp swords as cow hair, flowing like a river, and each one is an entity. There are so many. , just one mistake can lead to the consequences of a thousand swords piercing the heart."
Yes, Zeng Yi was also Zhou Xuan's supporter.
So who are these words addressed to?
It wasn't Bi Mengzhi, but what he told Zhen Zhu and Deng Xiu, the two contestants from four to two in the next round.
To be more precise, it was for Zhen Zhu.
According to the intelligence, Zhen Zhu's strength is higher than Deng Xiu.
Having come this far, Zhou Xuan didn't want to capsize and then load the game. He couldn't guarantee a 100% winning rate, so he could at least increase the winning rate.
Right now, he is weak and needs to use external moves. After establishing the foundation, he can directly strike one at the same level with his sword. Zhou Xuan cursed in his heart.
Some people like to play with manipulation, although Zhou Xuan can also do it. For example, this outer sect competition was all about manipulation.
But compared to operations, he prefers to play with numerical values. What he focuses on is the thrill of crushing.
When Zeng Yi's remarks spread, Zhen Zhu and Deng Xiu did hear it. After all, this was a critical moment, and they had to pay more attention to Zhou Xuan's information.
After seeing the Thousand Shadows Formation Flag and Zeng Yi's explanation, Zhen Zhu felt powerless and felt that this outer sect competition was really boring.
He was very excited when more than 100 favorites to win the championship were seriously injured. Then Zhou Xuan appeared again, which made him wilted again. However, he still had some hope in his heart. As a result, Zhou Xuan had a trump card hidden in the four-to-two match...
No, I don’t know if this sword formation is the opponent’s final trump card.
Thinking of this, Zhen Zhu was a little discouraged.
Then——
"Deng Xiu wins!"
In the next four-to-two match, Deng Xiu won the victory in a surprise.
Those around who thought Zhen Zhu would win were speechless when they saw Deng Xiu cheering on the stage.
Zhen Zhu, who lost the game, slapped himself directly. Even if he couldn't beat Zhou Xuan, he could still get the second place. Now he could only compete with Bi Mengzhi for the third place.
The third game was a battle between Zhen Zhu and Bi Mengzhi.
I don’t know if it was because losing to Deng Xiu affected his mentality, or what, Zhen Zhu lost to Bi Mengzhi again in this game.
"Bi Meng wins."
Looking at Zhen Zhu who was lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face, Kong Xinmei shook her head. He was skilled in martial arts and had old-fashioned moves, but he didn't have a firm heart. If such a person didn't transform, he wouldn't last long.
But thinking that if the favorite to win the championship wasn't seriously injured, the other party wouldn't have come here, she felt relieved.
Next was the match between Zhou Xuan and Deng Xiu, which was also a match for the first and second place.
Although everyone believed that Zhou Xuan would win, when the two stood on the ring, everyone still cheered for face.
"The battle for the first place of the outer sect competition begins!"
