Chapter 381: Dao Heart Obscured
Chapter 381: Dao Heart Obscured
While Yuan Yu and the others were quietly waiting for the power of the Soul Condensing Tree to be exhausted, Li Daoyi, who had returned to the arena to continue serving as the gatekeeper, suddenly received a reminder from the arena that his ranking had dropped from 11th to 12th.
"What! He actually succeeded!"
Li Daoyi looked at the prompt that popped up in some shock.
When he challenged the 12th place from the 11th place, he did not meet anyone who could go directly to the 11th place.
This means that his opponent continued to challenge the top 10 without any pause.
But now his ranking has dropped, which means that someone has been squeezed out of the top 10.
"Could it be that that person is actually very strong, and the sneak attack he used earlier was just... a joke?
Or is it that his mind is extraordinary?"
Li Daoyi frowned and thought.
When he challenged his opponent, the competition venue was based on the sect where the protagonist in his card world was located.
The content of the game is to face the beast tide
One of the bad points is that the characters in the competition venue can interact with him perfectly, just like the real thing.
Those familiar or unfamiliar people died one after another in front of his eyes for the so-called sect...
Although he knew this would happen, when it really happened, he still couldn't help but want to try to change it.
As a result, it naturally had no effect. Even some people who were originally going to escape with the protagonist were led by him to stay and then died...
And because he kept trying to save those people, he naturally lost the game...
"Never mind. No matter what, he's already made it into the top ten. I'll just take back 11th place and keep guarding here..."
Li Daoyi let out a breath and started the challenge directly.
(Matching...
Matching completed...
Because the top ten are special positions and cannot be challenged by leapfrogging, the opponent this time is the 11th place. The countdown is 10 seconds, 10, 9...)
As the countdown was going on, a figure lying on the ground appeared opposite Li Daoyi, which surprised him a little.
This dejected state...
Why does he look a bit like him back then?
(2, 1, 0, the game begins)
The countdown on the ring ended, and Li Daoyi was ready, but the figure opposite him was still lying there. He just slowly raised his hand, condensed a card and threw it out directly.
The card transformed into a girl who appeared on the stage. She first looked at Su Lin lying on the ground and said in surprise:
"Su Lin, why are you lying on the ground?
Are you injured?
Just leave it to me!"
A gentle light suddenly appeared in the girl's hand and fell on Su Lin.
The familiar feeling made Su Lin dazed for a moment, then he sat up with a wry smile and said
"Ying, I'm fine. Let's finish the battle first."
"Okay, you have to take care of yourself."
Ying nodded, then turned and looked at Li Daoyi, who had a strange expression on his face, and her face instantly became serious.
He raised his hands, and white light condensed into a white long sword above his hands.
Li Daoyi took a deep look at Su Lin, whose eyes had been fixed on the girl, and then swung his sword directly, with the invisible sword light pointing directly at Su Lin himself.
"Dielang Sword Technique!"
Ying took a step forward and the long sword in her hand suddenly burst out with a strong light. Her hand waved out an afterimage in an instant, and one sword light after another seemed to be superimposed on each other layer by layer at an extremely slow speed, forming a sword curtain.
At the moment of collision with the sword swung by Li Daoyi, most of the blade curtain was cut in half.
However, the endless curtain of swords quickly consumed the sword light, and then swept towards Li Daoyi like a wave.
Li Daoyi acted as if he didn't see it and slowly retracted his sword.
When the blade curtain was about to touch him, the ring's prompt sound suddenly rang.
(Game over…)
In an instant, all attacks disappeared without a trace.
"what?"
Ying was stunned and suddenly turned around to look behind her.
Su Lin's head, which was split in two, instantly returned to its original shape. He touched his face and said with a smile while facing Ying's confused gaze.
“It was an accident, I was accidentally affected.
Let’s stop here for today, I’m a little tired…”
As he spoke, Su Lin glanced at Li Daoyi, pulled up Ying and disappeared directly from the ring.
Li Daoyi watched Su Lin's leaving back in silence.
This person had no intention of fighting at all. He just casually hid a weak sword energy under the attack and succeeded directly.
He didn't even want to hide, maybe he just wanted it to end quickly...
This person might be like him back then, having experienced those special things, and his heart of Taoism has been tarnished...
The top 10 competition is indeed terrifying...
Li Daoyi immediately became more determined to prevent anyone from reaching the top ten, as that was not a place that the weak should be able to reach.
He exhaled and sat cross-legged on the ring, holding the sword in his hand and silently comprehending the special sword intent contained in it, waiting for the arrival of the next challenger.
...
Jianghai City
Yukashi Service Center, 21st Floor
This is an area that looks like a square. There is a ring in the center, and many people are standing around watching the competition on the ring.
Su Lin's figure appeared out of nowhere under the ring. He pulled the puzzled Ying and walked out quickly with his head slightly lowered.
But he was stopped by an old man.
He immediately raised his head with a bitter expression and looked at the old man in front of him.
"Uncle Xu..."
The old man called Xu Bo bowed slightly with a calm expression.
"Fourth Young Master, the old master wants you to go back tonight to receive your punishment."
“…I understand. I’ll be back tonight.”
Su Lin clenched his fists slightly and agreed without any explanation.
Xu Bo looked at Su Lin, shook his head imperceptibly, and turned away.
After he left, Su Lin's bitter expression disappeared instantly, and even the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Su Lin, you're going to be punished, how can you still laugh?"
Ying had just wanted to stand up and defend him, but he secretly held her back. Seeing the smile on his face, she suddenly felt confused.
Su Lin looked around and whispered.
“If I wasn’t asked to go back and receive the penalty immediately, it means the problem is not serious.
It seems that those old guys take this competition more seriously than I thought.
They didn't dare to impose severe punishment on me, the only one of the Su family's generation who could participate in the competition. My previous worries were completely unnecessary.
After all, if he failed twice in a row, under normal circumstances, he would be taken back to his family for punishment immediately. It’s not like now, where we can go back in the evening…”
Ying was stunned for a moment and said in surprise
"Even so, why did you let the water go before?
If I had played well, I might not have been punished."
"Uh... I was careless, I was careless!
Okay, let’s stop talking about this. For now, let’s not worry about the arena and go have fun!”
Su Lin made some clumsy excuses, then pulled Ying away and disappeared into the crowd.
