On October 10th, this year's Three Cities Dao Symposium officially began under the watchful eyes of both the overt and covert.
The first-year, third-year, and fifth-year students naturally had separate Dao discussions. For example, the two first-year students from Maplewood City had to fight the first-year students from Tri-Mountain City and Wangjiang City respectively.
After the first round of battle, the remaining three victors took turns to battle. That was Battle Armor Second, Battle Armor Second, Battle Armor Third, and Battle Armor Third. A win would earn three points, a draw would earn one point, and a loss would earn zero points. The one with the highest points would be the champion of the Three Cities Dao Discussion.
In this way, it depended on individual strength as well as the overall strength of the Dao Academy. After all, if two people came from the same Dao Academy in the final round, they could easily preserve their strength and target the other person.
The first-year students' Dao discussion began first. Three cities, six cultivators, and three battles began at the same time.
The competition venue was arranged in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion. Because this was often the place where the city guards would pledge their allegiance, the commoners called it the Martial Arts Practice Field.
The first-year students from the City Dao Academy were basically in a state where they had just laid their foundation. They mainly fought with Dao spells, but they also had to use martial arts. This was a competition that the commoners could understand the most, so it was even more popular.
Early in the morning, the place was surrounded. The commoners of Maplewood City brought their families and gathered around the Martial Arts Practice Field. The city guards were only able to maintain order after being mobilized.
Jiang Anan's school didn't have classes today, so Ling He naturally brought her to watch the competition.
Because there were too many people, Jiang Anan sat on Ling He's shoulder. At this moment, she was clapping her hands and cheering for her brother loudly.
Zhao Rucheng and Huang Azhan were naturally the first to watch Jiang Wang's competition. However, as rich and imposing as Zhao Rucheng was, he naturally wouldn't do something as ungentlemanly as shouting in person. Not far away, the dozen or so burly men he had hired were shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Jiang Wang, victory! Jiang Wang, victory! "
There were also two large flags fluttering in the wind —
"Punching the Three Mountains, even more unrivaled in the eyes."
"Stepping on the Wangjiang, who will be called a hero?"
However, Jiang Wang definitely wouldn't appreciate it.
For a moment, Jiang Wang's shouts overwhelmed the entire audience. This Dao discussion seemed to have become Jiang Wang's personal performance. From time to time, people would whisper to each other, asking who this Jiang Wang was. After learning that it was a contestant from Maplewood City, the simple and honest citizens of Maplewood City cheered.
Standing in the arena, Jiang Wang felt … very awkward.
The three matches were held close to each other, and all six cultivators were present. Jiang Wang realized that he had become a public enemy from the way those people looked at him. If it weren't for the rules, it would have been a one-versus-five fight. This included the senior brother from Maplewood City's Dao Academy.
"He's just a show-off. What's there to be proud of?" Lin Zhengli from Wangjiang City was the most dissatisfied. He didn't look at his opponent. Instead, he spat in Jiang Wang's direction.
His voice was neither soft nor loud. Jiang Wang turned a deaf ear to him.
The entire Martial Arts Practice Field was divided into three battlefields, leaving a large buffer between the lines.
The cultivator from the county academy was the main referee, and the two instructors from Maplewood City's Dao Academy were the assistant referees. The battle was very simple. The one who fell lost, so there was no need to worry about the referee being biased. In fact, the main purpose of the referee was to prevent young cultivators from losing control and dying.
Jiang Wang's opponent was from Tri-Mountain City.
This person was short but stocky. He wore a tight-fitting martial attire, and his muscles were as thick as rocks.
Both sides bowed and stood still.
At the referee's command, Jiang Wang drew his sword!
He rose like a dragon, and his sword pierced through the shooting stars.
Almost at the same time that the cultivator from Tri-Mountain City was halfway through his hand seals, Jiang Wang had already closed in with his sword.
Decisive and fast.
Among the combat methods of Transcendents, the Eastern Purple Qi Sword Art had an overwhelming advantage.
During the internal selection of Maplewood City's Dao Academy, he had defeated Fang Heling with this move. Now, it seemed like he was going to repeat the same thing.
But to Jiang Wang's and the audience's surprise, this cultivator from Tri-Mountain City did not dodge!
He did not even move. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Wang's sword. His hand was steady, and his Dao Formula was taking shape under his gaze.
Under such circumstances, he could either give up and dodge or admit defeat. But with the speed Jiang Wang displayed, he would not have a chance to use the next Dao Technique after dodging.
And he made a completely different choice from Fang Heling!
Earth-elemental Essence Qi gathered wildly. Jiang Wang felt a force erupting from the ground. Of course, he knew what it was.
He was confident that he could stab his opponent's heart before the Earth Spikes arrived, but his feet would be pierced by the Earth Spikes that would soon follow.
Exchanging injury for death, he still won. But he did not want to be so victorious.
Jiang Wang's sword turned and separated from the Earth Spikes that had erupted from his feet. He used the momentum to flip back and return to his original position.
At this time, the dense and sharp Earth Spikes finally covered the area around the cultivator from Tri-Mountain City.
This cultivator from Tri-Mountain City, the person who was derided as a mountain barbarian, had just used his life to turn the situation around.
He immediately kicked out several times, breaking the Earth Spikes in front of him and sending them flying. The Earth Spikes were like javelins that howled as they shot towards Jiang Wang.
And this cultivator from Tri-Mountain City followed behind the howling Earth Spikes and charged at Jiang Wang.
Under Jiang Anan's nervous gaze, Jiang Wang spun like the wind and moved through the group of spikes that were attacking him. He was completely unharmed.
The cultivator from Tri-Mountain City was close.
His short and stocky body leapt high into the air. His fist gradually condensed into stone and expanded into an enormous fist the size of a small mountain.
Overturning Rock Fist!
Offense and defense reversed!
He could not take it head on. Jiang Wang held his sword horizontally in front of him, using the flat of his sword to touch the stone fist. He wanted to use the momentum to drift away and find another opportunity.
No matter what, foundational xiuzhe had limited Dao Energy and could not use too many Dao Techniques. As long as he could stall for time, he would definitely win with his swordsmanship.
However, the stone fist suddenly flipped over and grabbed the sword in Jiang Wang's hand, crushing it to pieces!
Overturning Rock Fist was only a high grade Dao Technique. Although Jiang Wang had not grasped it, he was still very familiar with it. He had never thought that this Dao Technique would have such a nimble transformation!
In a moment of desperation, Jiang Wang threw away the sword hilt and grabbed the stone fist that had crushed his sword with both hands, forcefully twisting it.
The powerful physical strength brought about by the Four Spirits Body Refining Secrets poured in without reservation. Along with the twisting force, shattered rocks swirled in the air.
Jiang Wang tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, his entire body leaning backwards as he quickly retreated. At the same time, he also avoided the sudden explosion of the stone fist!
When Jiang Wang destroyed the stone fist, the cultivator from Tri-Mountain City directly detonated it as another attack method. But he had not thought that Jiang Wang's reaction would be so sharp, still avoiding it immediately.
The explosion of the stone fist did not have no effect on him. Although he had carefully controlled it, his entire right arm was still covered in wounds, dripping with blood.
But it was as if he could not feel the pain. Without saying a word, he directly chased after Jiang Wang.
He did not make any more hand seals, nor did he have time to use any Dao Techniques. Or rather, he realized that he could not defeat his opponent with the current Dao Techniques he had grasped.
In that case, he would try his physique that could climb mountains and cross ravines, his fists and feet that could kill lions and tigers.
Elbow strikes, knee strikes, headbutts!
Jiang Wang had no way to increase the distance between them. He did not have his sword, so he could not display his swordsmanship.
Punches, kicks, shoulder strikes!
The two of them began to fight in close quarters!
Within inches, it was the most intense, the most direct, and the most wild!
There were many mortal martial artists in the audience who knew a few moves. Seeing this, they all became excited!
