NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1126: Overlord Spear Xiao Family
Before the Martial Arts Tournament began, Elder Hua had already given them a document to study their opponents.
Besides their own district, there were five other sub-districts, and from this document, some individuals were highlighted as seed competitors.
For example, in the Southeast District, only Hua Wushuang was listed as a seed, after all, Hua Wushuang hails from the Xingyi Sect, which is also a major school of National Martial Arts, and with the rumors of Hua Wushuang being a half-step Grandmaster, he is already quite famous in the world.
However, since they are in the same district, everyone understands each other fairly well, so more attention is paid to the seed competitors from the other districts.
In the six districts, sixty competitors were selected, and there were also four who advanced directly, like Liao Qingyang, these four are definitely seed competitors, otherwise, they wouldn't enjoy the privilege of directly entering the national Martial Arts Tournament.
Additionally, in the other five districts, there are nine named as seed competitors, including Huang Longting from the Eight Diagrams Sect, Mo Nan from Kunlun, Luo Qingyun from Wudang, and Jie Xiang from Shaolin, all from prominent sects.
These people backed by well-established sects naturally have strength far superior to others.
Li Feng's victory over Liao Qingyang was indeed a surprise, but in the matches already played, the strength of the seed competitors is not to be underestimated.
For example, Luo Qingyun took out his opponent with just one palm strike.
"It's the Tang Sect."
Tie Xuan looked at the revealed matchup for Xiao Xi's upcoming fight, unexpectedly Xiao Xi would face someone from the Tang Sect.
"It's good it's not Tang Chuan; this Tang Chuan is the senior brother of the Tang Sect, and a seed competitor, if Xiao Xi had faced him, she would truly be in some danger."
Tie Xuan said.
A moment later.
Xiao Xi appeared on stage, and the person representing the Tang Sect was not Tang Chuan, but another individual named Tang Xuan. In the Southwest District, Tang Sect is undoubtedly dominant.
Just the number of selected competitors from Tang Sect reached five, with the remaining coming from Shu Mountain and Emei sects.
Tang Xuan squinted at Xiao Xi opposite him; this woman turned out to be the one beside Li Feng; though he hadn't encountered Li Feng himself, he would first settle scores with the people around him.
Dare to provoke my Tang Sect.
Tang Xuan thought, eyes coldly fixed on Xiao Xi.
"Our Tang Sect specializes in Hidden Weapons, so you better choose a weapon."
Xiao Xi took a deep breath, stepped off the stage towards the weapon rack, glanced around, and finally her gaze fell on a long spear.
The next second, Xiao Xi grabbed the spear shaft and pulled it up into the air, catching the spear tail and swinging it in a Dragon's Tail Swing.
After testing it a bit, Xiao Xi leaped twice into the air, using the spear for leverage, directly jumping back onto the stage, and then carrying the spear on her back, the spear's tip dragging across the floor, sparking slightly.
"Overlord Spear?"
Tang Xuan squinted at the weapon in Xiao Xi's hands; this Overlord Spear was not like a regular spear, the shaft heavier and the spearhead larger, typically wielded by mighty men.
Though Xiao Xi stood over 1.7 meters tall, she seemed rather petite under the over-three-meter-long Overlord Spear.
"Are you sure?"
Xiao Xi snorted, "This is it."
Tang Xuan shrugged, looking towards the referee; he had no objections, but facing someone from the Tang Sect, choosing such a cumbersome Overlord Spear, really made him wonder what this woman was thinking.
"Has this woman lost her mind, choosing an Overlord Spear of all weapons, facing someone from the Tang Sect?"
"Yeah, Tang Sect is known for hidden weapons that are unpredictable, the best strategy against their hidden weapons is a nimble weapon for agile defense."
"Moreover, she's a woman, the Overlord Spear weighs 36 kilograms, even muscular men find it laborious to wield, let alone her."
Some people secretly shook their heads, a delicate girl choosing such a powerful weapon like the Overlord Spear, yet going up against the Hidden Weapon specialists of Tang Sect.
She's already lost before the match has even started.
"This girl is really… If someone from the Xiang Family wielded the Overlord Spear, it would be suitable, but this girl is also using it?"
"Has she given up and decided to surrender?"
In the audience, members of the Xiang Family clicked their tongues watching the two on stage; an Overlord Spear like that is most suitable for warriors with natural Divine Power like their Xiang Family.
"Is this girl from the Xiao Family?"
Xiang Tian suddenly asked.
"Hmm, seems her name is Xiao Xi, why, Brother Yu?"
A person next to him turned to look at Xiang Tian who had asked, and Xiang Tian smiled, lips curling slightly, "No wonder."
"Brother Yu, no wonder what?"
The Xiang Family disciple standing by looked at Xiang Tian, puzzled.
"Hmph, Overlord Spear, Xiao Family, have you not thought that this girl might be from the Overlord Spear Xiao Family?"
"Brother Yu, are you referring to that Xiao Family?"
Comparing the Overlord Spear Xiao Family with the Xiang Family is like comparing a wren to a phoenix, even with the legend of the Overlord Spear Xiao Family, in reality, the Xiao Family had long declined, ever since the last successor Xiao Ming, the Xiao Family had nearly vanished.
"But even if it is, it can't prove anything, the Overlord Spear Xiao Family has faded since the last generation, at least twenty years have passed."
"I heard that years ago, Xiao Ming got severely injured in a duel, being the sole successor of Xiao Family's Overlord Spear, since then, the Xiao Family has become a relic."
"And after all, Xiao Xi is a woman, and the Overlord Spear isn't something a woman can handle."
"Hmm!"
The few Xiang Family disciples nodded in agreement.
The Overlord Spear of the Xiao Family weighs 36 kilograms, frankly speaking, even more suitable for the Xiang Family.
Back then, the ancestor of the Xiang Family also sought it, but was refused by the Xiao Family, there are some unresolved matters between Xiang and Xiao Families.
"Let's watch!"
The Xiao Family's Overlord Spear is something the Xiang Family desires, just that the Xiao Family's successors were too stubborn, preferring to keep the secret rather than letting it out.
It's unsure how much of the Overlord Spear skills this Xiao Family girl has grasped.
Xiang Tian spoke, focusing intently on the stage, evidently not intending to miss any detail.
"Why did Xiao Xi choose such a weapon? How does it match up against the Tang Sect's hidden weapons?" Tie Xuan was also a bit baffled.
If given the Overlord Spear, he could manage, but what was Xiao Xi thinking?
"The match begins."
At this moment, the referee waved a hand on stage.
Tang Xuan sneered at Xiao Xi carrying the Overlord Spear, "Heh, let's start with some appetizers."
Before Tang Xuan finished his words, he flicked his wrist and three Willow Leaf Darts flew out, shooting towards Xiao Xi in a triangle formation.
Tang Xuan was also testing his opponent, although he didn't believe Xiao Xi could perform well with the Overlord Spear, he didn't want to slip up due to underestimating her.
