Chapter 542 Xiao Aotian was criticized
Xiao Aotian's power suddenly increased a lot.

The speed of the giant ruler's swing did not seem to increase, but it was just enough to block Mu Qingluan's dagger every time.

Not only that, the damage calculation for "Parry" is settled on the weaker attacking party.

Judging from the previous fight, it seems that Xiao Aotian has the lower attack power.

But at this moment, the recoil force transmitted from the dagger made Mu Qingluan feel her blood boiling!

She actually fell into a disadvantage in the fight!

Yang Shan also had to give Xiao Aotian a thumbs up.

As expected of little Xiao Yan, it’s not enough for him to have Skyfire Venerable by his side, but he has even learned the “Six-Directions Wandering Body Ruler”!

This "Liuhe Youshen Ruler" is a more powerful ruler-based fighting skill that the original protagonist Xiao Yan learned after the "Flame-Devouring Waves Ruler".

According to the background of the original work, this "Liuhe Youshen Ruler" is the pinnacle masterpiece of the life-long fighting skills comprehension of "Liuhe Reverend" who once dominated the continent.

It is said that if this fighting skill is mastered, one can even not rely on fighting spirit, but simply rely on the ruler method to drill into the magma, come and go freely, and not be affected by fire!

If one cultivates to the peak, no one at the same level can get close to him!
Judging from the classification of fighting skills in the game, this "Liuhe Youshenchi" is the same as "Ba Dao", which is a "close combat skill" that has a huge bonus to ordinary attacks!
Moreover, looking at the current fight between Xiao Aotian and Mu Qingluan, the defensive ability of "Six-Harmony Wandering Body Ruler" in the original novel, which was valued by Xiao Yan, has been attached to "parry"!

Of course, the bonus of "Liuhe Youshenchi" to normal attacks should also be higher than that of "Fengling Sword Jue".

After all, this close-combat technique has reached the intermediate level of the Earth Rank!
Mu Qingluan was obviously suppressed by Xiao Aotian, but she certainly couldn't just give in like that.

"Wind-Splitting Sword!"

The long sword in Mu Qingluan's hand split into seven sword auras.

Xiao Aotian was not afraid at all:
"Splitting fire!"

The giant ruler was swung in a circle in front of Xiao Aotian, leaving seven afterimages, with the Fallen Heart Flame burning on the afterimages, which just dissolved the seven sword auras.

"Swallow body fire!"

It is hard to imagine that a heavy ruler can be swung so that wherever you look, there will be afterimages of fire.

Mu Qingluan's sword moves were simply unable to break through Ju Chi's defense, but this defense contained offensive moves, so Mu Qingluan was defeated step by step.

At this moment, Xiao Aotian seized the opportunity and suddenly roared.

"The Lion and Tiger Shattering Gold Song"!
This high-level Xuan-level fighting skill benefits from the soul shock, and even now, it can still be used as a surprise move.

Mu Qingluan's distraction lasted only a moment, but it was enough for Xiao Aotian to complete the attack.

Amidst the dull sounds of collision, the ripples in Mu Qingluan's protective energy became more and more violent.

The Fallen Heart Flame also took the opportunity to cover the protective qi, and Mu Qingluan's protective value dropped rapidly.

Mu Qingluan, who had regained consciousness, shouted softly:
"Feng Luan's instant body!"

In just a breath, Mu Qingluan disappeared from Xiao Aotian's sight.

Feng Qing'er, who was watching the game, was dumbfounded.

"Wind Luan Instant Body" is not a fighting skill of the human race, but a secret skill of the bloodline of the Tianluan clan.

According to the bet, Mu Qingluan was indeed at a disadvantage before she used the secret bloodline technique, and even later on in the fight, she could barely fight back!

Mu Qingluan's secret bloodline technique was forced out by Xiao Aotian!

Xiao Aotian subconsciously wanted to use "Three Thousand Thunders" to chase him.

But it is clearly written in the inheritance jade and silk of "Three Thousand Thunders" that this is the unique fighting skill of Fenglei Pavilion. If it is discovered by the people of Fenglei Pavilion, unless Venerable Feng asks to protect him, otherwise, this matter will be very difficult!

Xiao Aotian had naturally learned Xuan-level body movements before, but how could his Xuan-level body movements catch up with Mu Qingluan?

Xiao Aotian originally wanted to "play dumb to gain advantage" and use the "Liuhe Youshen Ruler" to suppress Mu Qingluan and not give her a chance to escape.

After all, I underestimated Mu Qingluan.

As a wild beast with wind attributes, Mu Qingluan is even faster than Feng Qing'er in terms of speed alone.

Xiao Aotian had deeply experienced from Yang Shan the effect of using speed to defeat slowness.

But Xiao Aotian did not give up.

Mu Qingluan did not dare to attack rashly. If she got close, she would be trapped in the "net" of "Liuhe Youshen Chi" again, and it would not be easy to escape.

At the beginning, Xiao Aotian used the formation to gather the fighting spirit of many players of the Tianyan League into one body and forcibly improved his strength. When he fought with Yang Shan, his Flame-Dividing Wave-Devouring Ruler, which could turn corners, chased Yang Shan for a long time.

When Xiao Aotian was about to use this trick to deal with Mu Qingluan, Mu Qingluan said helplessly:

"Junior Brother Xiao, although my request is a bit rash, can you take the initiative to admit defeat?"

Xiao Aotian was stunned: "Ah?"

Mu Qingluan sighed:
"You are really strong. I have to go all out. However, the fighting skills I will use later consume a lot of energy. I am afraid that I will hurt you if I really use them. I am afraid that I will not be able to fully recover when the four enter the two."

Mu Qingluan thought about it and added:
"Or if you think you can beat me, then use your fighting skills. You don't have to really fight. As long as the fluctuations of your fighting skills are strong enough to injure me, I will admit defeat."

Hearing this, Xiao Aotian directly put the Xuan Lian Ruler back on his back, raised his right hand high, and said loudly:
"I surrender!"

Fei Tian also immediately announced:
"The winner of the first round of the top eight is from Xingyun Pavilion - Mu Qingluan!"

Xiao Aotian gave Mu Qingluan a smile that he thought was handsome:
"Senior Sister Mu, my ability is limited, so I have to rely on you to win the championship!"

Xiao Aotian originally intended to "focus on participation" in this Sifang Pavilion Conference. Although he believed that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, who was the real contender for the championship of this conference?
It's Yang Shan! It's Feng Qing'er!

Especially Yang Shan. Before the meeting even started, this bastard was already in the big boss concentration camp trying to persuade him and Yi Qingyang to use their connections to do some shady operations so that they could confront him later.

Yang Shan always manages to show off without realizing it, that's because he uses the truth to show off!
Although Xiao Aotian is arrogant, he is not without self-awareness. Now he is still not strong enough to compete with Yang Shan.

Since they are not competing for the championship, the top eight and top four will only affect the contribution point rewards of Xingyun Pavilion.

Mu Qingluan's favorability is much more valuable than the contribution points of Xingyun Pavilion!

Besides, Liu Ruyan’s level is low and she can’t see Mu Qingluan’s panel values. How could he not see them?

More than four million qi and blood!

Even if you just stand there and let him smash you, it will take a while!
Even if Xiao Aotian tried his best, he could only be said to have a chance to defeat Mu Qingluan.

Why fight until both sides suffer losses?
So Xiao Aotian admitted defeat without any hesitation.

But Mu Qingluan didn't know what Xiao Aotian was thinking.

In Mu Qingluan's eyes, Xiao Aotian's carefree attitude when admitting defeat showed his absolute trust in her!

He trusted her so much that there was no need to continue fighting. With just one word from her, he was able to hand over the top four positions.

At the same time, it also avoided internal friction in Xingyun Pavilion to the greatest extent, allowing her to be in sufficient condition to deal with the subsequent games!

Xiao Aotian received a private message from Yang Shan:

"How much favorability did you get?"

Xiao Aotian: "Five points, hehe! It must be because the favorability increased a lot in the plot! How about you?"

Yang Shan: "Me? Me what?"

Xiao Aotian: "Weren't you chatting with Feng Qing'er in the stands? Don't think I didn't see it. Feng Qing'er even put her face in front of you. If you get a few inches closer, I guarantee you'll kiss her! Tell me, how much did you get from teasing Feng Qing'er just now?"

Yang Shan: "I fished out a seventh-level essence spirit crystal."

Xiao Aotian: "Fuck! Has Feng Qing'er started to offer you top resources? How much does Feng Qing'er like you?"

Yang Shan: "Not much, just forty points."

Yang Shan may have forgotten to say that these forty points represent hatred. Well, he may have forgotten!

Xiao Aotian: "Brother Shenqing, you are really awesome. Please teach me when you have time."

Yang Shan: "I have posted all the strategies I can teach you. The rest are things I cannot teach you. If you really learn my unique way to pick up girls, what if we both fall in love with the same NPC in the future? Wouldn't that be like shooting myself in the foot?"

Xiao Aotian: "I'll pay!"

Yang Shan: "You are an eight-figure person, so why bother talking to me, a nine-figure person, about money?"

Xiao Aotian: "Forget it, forget it. It seems that I can only compete with you in a different position. You are trying to capture Feng Qing'er, so you don't have time to look for Mu Qingluan, right?"

Yang Shan: "How do you know I was just about to go talk to Mu Qingluan?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Aotian quickly turned around and walked to Mu Qingluan who had just left the competition area.

Mu Qingluan smiled like a flower:
"Junior Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"

Xiao Aotian: "Senior Sister Mu, I heard that you and Feng Qing'er don't have a good relationship. Let's find another viewing platform. After all, you just consumed a lot of energy. In case Feng Qing'er comes over to pick a fight while you are recovering."

Mu Qingluan thought for a moment:

"Well, I didn't expect you to be so attentive, Junior Brother Xiao."

Xiao Aotian's active surrender caused the male compatriots in Liu Ruyan's live broadcast room to criticize him!
I'm not criticizing Xiao Aotian for being a coward, nor am I criticizing Xiao Aotian for not being strong:
"Fuck! He was actually talking and laughing with Mu Qingluan!"

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Mu Qingluan is a woman, and she's actually trying to reason with Xiao Aotian, discussing and deciding who will advance! What the hell is this relationship?"

"Could it be that Mu Qingluan has developed a crush on Xiao Aotian?"

"No! I just changed my name to 'I Want to Be Mu Qingluan's Dog', and the fucking name change deadline is one month! How dare I lead the discussion on the forum for the next month?"

"Damn it! Xiao Aotian deserves to die!"

When Xiao Aotian saw these comments, he felt so relieved.

It feels so good to be sprayed!
Compared with the fierce battle in the first game, the situation in the second game of the quarter-finals was a bit one-sided.

Xue Kuangbiao faced off against Tang Ying, the true disciple of Sword Master.

Xue Kuangbiao's combat power is indeed good, but he is only a one-star Dou Zong.

However, Tang Ying is a six-star Dou Zong with a "golden promotion" seal, and he also has the additional enhancement of the original NPC!
Xue Kuangbiao didn't seem to have any intention of fighting to the death with Tang Ying. He only used two or three fighting skills from beginning to end, and the highest level was only advanced Xuan level!

Even Yang Shan couldn't figure out what Xue Kuangbiao was planning.

Fei Tian immediately began to draw the opponents for the third game.

Liu Ruyan also started broadcasting at the right time:
"Come on, let's watch the third match. It's finally our Yang Shen's turn! Who is so unlucky to face off against Yang Shan? Hey! It's that kidney failure guy Wang Chen! Handsome guys and beautiful girls in the live studio, hold your bowls and chopsticks, the show is about to begin!"
