Huo Qing's continuous provocation finally caused the expressions of the three Senior Brothers to change. This made Huo Qing secretly pleased and he couldn't help but smile.
His expression infuriated his three seniors even more. Qie Yihong, who was the strongest among them, said, "Good, very good. It looks like junior brother Huo has not only increased his cultivation and strength very quickly, but he hasn't fallen behind in terms of intelligence either."
"In that case, let's wait and see who will have the last laugh."
After Lao Yihong finished speaking, he turned around and left. Ku Yun and Bi Xian also glared at Huo Qing before leaving.
"Senior Brother Kuang, your acting is good. You can definitely fool the other two Senior Brothers with your angry look. I'll wait for you to join forces with me."
Seeing the three of them leaving, Huo Qing didn't let them go and said again.
Lao Yihong, who was walking at the front, almost vomited blood when he heard that. He wanted to beat Huo Qing up immediately. How could there be such a persistent instigator?
"Eh, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Are you stunned by my wit? "
Huo Qing retracted his gaze and noticed Luo Ping and Gu Dingyu's expressions. They were looking at him strangely, which made him think that they were shocked by his wisdom.
"You are indeed quick-witted, but you're so wishy-washy that you look like an old woman."
Luo Ping pursed his lips.
"Yes, I think Brother Huo was not manly enough when you spoke just now. Although you are quick-witted, you lack dominance and courage."
Gu Dingyu also shook his head in response.
When Huo Qing heard the conversation between the two, his face was obviously a little embarrassed, so he said, "I was just trying to sow discord between them. The main point was not to gain the upper hand, but to break up their alliance."
"Although they didn't seem to be affected by my words on the surface, they must have developed suspicions in their hearts. This is enough for me."
After Huo Qing explained the situation, Luo Ping and Gu Dingyu revealed an 'I see' expression. However, they still looked at Huo Qing strangely.
"That's enough. It's fine if you don't believe me."
Huo Qing said helplessly.
"We believe you. We just think that Brother Huo is a little effeminate."
After Gu Dingyu finished speaking, he and Luo Ping couldn't help but laugh. Huo Qing's face was full of black lines and he remained silent.
In the short time that Huo Qing and Lao Yihong were talking, a few more helpers defeated the Elders and won the victory.
Among them were the helpers of Lao Yihong and the other two. It could be seen that the helpers they invited were very strong.
After waiting for a while, all the battles ended and the third round began. Gu Dingyu walked to the center of the training ground.
This time, Gu Dingyu faced a different Elder. After both sides were ready, Gu Dingyu directly used the 'Mourning Deity Devil Palm' to fight with the opponent.
Because the Elder's cultivation base was suppressed and he didn't have the Soul Refining Heart Technique like Luo Ping to defend himself, his mind was slightly affected by Gu Dingyu's Mourning Deity Devil Palm.
The weak influence wasn't enough for Gu Dingyu to defeat his opponent in two or three moves. Therefore, he had to press on step by step and look for flaws. It was impossible for him to be as fast as Luo Ping.
Huo Qing naturally understood this result, so he wasn't too anxious. He was relieved as long as Gu Dingyu could occupy the first few places.
The 15 helpers were also very strong. Although there was a gap between their cultivation bases, they were all strong enough to fight above their level.
After all, those who could be invited were basically the proud sons of the major sects. They had amazing talent and many tricks up their sleeves. There were very few people like Luo Ping.
Huo Qing and Luo Ping waited calmly. Seeing that the helpers invited by Lao Yihong and the other two had defeated their opponents one after another, Huo Qing began to feel impatient.
According to the current situation, although Luo Ping had won the first round, Lao Yihong's team had the advantage in the first and third rounds.
Even in the second round, Lao Yihong's helpers followed closely behind Luo Ping. In terms of overall winning time, Huo Qing still didn't have the advantage.
Fortunately, Gu Dingyu didn't disappoint him. He soon won by using the last move 'Heart Punishing Swordsmanship' that he had used in the previous battle with Luo Ping.
Even so, Huo Qing's team had to defeat at least one of Lao Yihong's team in the following team battle to secure a spot.
"Brother Tan, Brother Gu, it seems that the following team battle will be very intense. We must persist until the end and strive to seize more precious pearls."
Huo Qing said firmly. Luo Ping and Gu Dingyu nodded in agreement. Then, the three of them retreated and gathered with Wu Hun and the others to discuss tactics again.
It didn't take long for all the battles to end. The individual battles also came to an end. The next stage was the team battle, which tested the strength of everyone in a team.
However, this team battle was still very different. Not all the teams would fight, but the teams needed to cooperate with each other to seize precious pearls.
When the time limit was up, a ranking would be made according to the total number of precious pearls seized by the remaining members of each team. Therefore, it didn't depend on the strength of a single person, but on the strength of the whole team.
"This is the 'Bamboo Forest Map', a spatial spiritual tool specially used for team battles. You only have six hours to enter it."
"Within six hours, you must try your best to find the 5,000 scattered precious pearls in the bamboo forest. You can also seize the precious pearls in the hands of others, but you must not kill them."
"If you leave the Bamboo Forest Map before the time limit is up, no matter how many precious pearls you have collected, they will all be invalid."
The Flying Demon took out a scroll and suspended it in mid-air as he spoke to everyone.
The Bamboo Forest Map was about ten feet long and five feet wide. It wasn't very big, but as a spatial spiritual tool, the space inside was still very spacious.
"This is a special talisman, one for each of you. If you are seriously injured and can't hold on, you can use this talisman to leave the Bamboo Forest Map at any time."
"In addition, I have already removed the connection with the Bamboo Forest Map. You can enter it without worry. After six hours, you must all leave the Bamboo Forest Map and take out the precious pearls you have found."
"If you don't have any other questions, now enter the Bamboo Forest Map for the team battle."
As the Flying Demon spoke, he had already thrown more than 140 talismans to Luo Ping and the others. After he finished speaking, he motioned for all the members to enter the Bamboo Forest Map.
Since everyone understood the rules of the competition, naturally there were no objections. Therefore, after putting away the talismans, they all turned into streamers and entered the Bamboo Forest Map.
In the entire training ground, only the Flying Demon and a dozen sect elders were left. They were closely watching the Bamboo Forest Map in the void, not saying a word.
At this moment, there were exactly five thousand spots emitting a hazy white light on the Bamboo Forest Map. They were evenly distributed across the map. They were the precious pearls.
Inside the Bamboo Forest Map.
Luo Ping was surrounded by emerald green bamboos. The bamboos were at least a hundred feet tall. As far as the eye could see, it was simply a sea of bamboos.
"Although the space of this Bamboo Forest Map is far from the space of my Mysterious Heaven Gate, it is still at least hundreds of thousands of miles wide."
"With five thousand precious pearls scattered across such a large area, it won't be easy to find them. No matter what, I have to do my best."
Luo Ping released the power of his divine sense to check the surrounding situation. He couldn't help but sigh when he didn't find any trace of the precious pearls.
Since he had accepted Huo Qing's invitation, Luo Ping would certainly do his best to help Huo Qing. This was his principle.
Because there were bamboos all around, Luo Ping randomly chose a direction and began to search. He extended the power of his divine sense as far as possible to perceive the fluctuations in the surrounding space.
After walking for dozens of steps, Luo Ping suddenly opened his eyes and focused his gaze on a certain spot in the space in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Withdraw!"
As Luo Ping's voice sounded, a powerful True Inner Force was released from his palm. It instantly flew out and then quickly withdrew back into Luo Ping's palm.
The True Inner Force returned to his body. In the palm of Luo Ping's hand, there was an emerald green pearl. It was the same color as the surrounding bamboos.
Luo Ping picked up the precious pearl and observed it carefully. He then extended the power of his divine sense to examine it carefully. He couldn't help but reveal a look of understanding.
"It turns out that this precious pearl is engraved with a formation. No wonder it can be hidden in the void. However, this kind of formation has no offensive power. Wouldn't it be very easy to catch it?"
Luo Ping had some doubts. If it was just a hidden formation, it wouldn't be difficult for people like them. As long as they found it, they could immediately catch it.
In this way, it was estimated that all 5,000 precious pearls would be found very quickly. In that case, wouldn't it mean that they could only snatch the precious pearls from other people's hands in the remaining time?
"Could this be done deliberately by the Flyaway Evil Demon to make us fight with each other and use this to test the overall strength of each team?"
Luo Ping immediately thought of this possibility. He felt that this should be the case, so he could only helplessly shake his head. If this was the case, he could only snatch the pearls.
However, before that, he still needed to find as many of these precious pearls as possible. The safest way was to keep these precious pearls on his person.
In order to ensure his safety, Luo Ping placed the precious pearl in his hand directly into the Mysterious Sky Gate. No matter what happened, his precious pearl would not be lost.
After putting away the precious pearl, Luo Ping continued to walk forward. He relied on the power of his divine sense to constantly search for and collect the precious pearls in the void.
