Qin Qi looked down at Zhi Jinhua and saw the fear in her heart at a glance. He reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Xiaohua, you have a good sense, but you are too timid."
Zhi Jinhua lowered her head. The moment her shoulders were pressed down, she felt her whole body stiffen, and a chill rose from her tailbone to the top of her head!
"Master Uncle Huahua, what happened?"
Lu Linglong also noticed that something was wrong with Zhi Jinhua, so she asked.
"It's nothing. The little girl sensed my scent, but she wasn't brave enough, so she got scared."
Although Qin Qi has restrained all his aura, he still leaves a special "smell" on his body, which is not detectable by ordinary people.
But some people with particularly keen senses can smell it, and then they instinctively start to get scared, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. You guys can continue playing."
Qin Qi looked at Zhi Jinhua who was trembling with fear, and he spoke.
"Oh, by the way, my great-grandfather said he wants to meet you. If you keep walking along this road, you will see him."
Lu Linglong held Zhi Jinhua's hand and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered this matter and spoke to Qin Qi.
"Okay, got it. Let's go this way, okay?"
Qin Qi followed the path Lu Linglong pointed out to look for Lu Jin. After walking for a distance, he saw Lu Jin talking to someone outside a small pavilion.
Lu Jin also saw Qin Qi walking over. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the person in front of him, he turned around and walked over.
He came in front of Qin Qi, took a good look at him, and then laughed.
"Yes, he looks very handsome, and he is a bit as handsome as I was back then. And his aura is also very good, showing his sharp edge."
"Old man, what's the matter that made you ask the girl to call me over?"
"It's okay. I just heard Linglong say that you came down the mountain to participate. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I asked you to come and say hello."
"Grandpa, next time if you have nothing to do, don't ask me to come over. Just go find me yourself, really."
Qin Qi thought that Lu Jin asked Lu Linglong to call him over because something happened, but it turned out that he just wanted to say hello.
"I wanted to go, but I just couldn't get away. You saw all these people came to say hello to me."
Lu Jin pointed at the people sitting in the pavilion: "Lu Ci from the Lu family, Wang Ai from the Wang family, and Feng Zhenghao from the Tianxia Association who has been very popular recently."
"I don't like this kind of polite socializing, but sometimes you have to be polite with these people."
"Well, one day when I have finished all the things that need to be done, I will learn from your master and live an idle life every day, taking it easy."
Lu Jin still has a great revenge for the Sanyi Sect to take, so he cannot stop to rest. Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan, he must kill these two enemies with his own hands!
"Okay, if you're alright, I'll leave."
Qin Qi chatted with Lu Jin for a few words, and then after making sure that nothing was wrong, he went for a stroll somewhere else.
His game for today has ended, and the second round will probably start the next day, so he can only rest leisurely today.
.....................
The next day, morning.
The qualifying spots were announced yesterday, a total of thirty-two people. Next up is a one-on-one elimination round, and the teams will first be drawn into groups.
After the grouping was completed, Longhushan created a group competition list, and the next people could use this to determine their next opponents.
"Well, here, my opponent is the little Fire God of Huode Sect."
Qin Qi didn't know who the Little Fire God was, but he did know the methods of the Fire Deity Sect. Controlling fire was a very simple ability, but the people of the Fire Deity Sect had studied it very deeply.
He looked around the crowd and finally fixed his eyes on a young man with red hair and slightly dark skin.
"It's so easy to recognize him. The fiery aura on his body makes it clear that he is from the Huode Sect."
Qin Qi shook his head. Even though he didn't know who the Little Vulcan was, he could tell who it was just by looking at the anger.
Add to that the special red hair, anyone who is not blind can recognize it.
After waiting for a while, it was his turn to fight with the little fire god, and the two entered the venue.
"Master Quanzhen, I know you have a strong body, but my flames are not to be trifled with. If you can't bear it anymore, just tell me."
"Otherwise, it would be bad if the burns were too severe."
Blazing flames appeared in the little fire god's hands, and the air around the flames began to distort due to the high temperature.
"Even though I can knock you down straight away, I'd like to show you something fun."
Qin Qi raised his hand, and a ball of water was suspended in the air in his palm. He flicked his hand to throw the water out. The water moved slowly and did not seem to pose any threat at all.
"My flames can't be extinguished by water. Look, I'm going to evaporate him!"
The little fire god confidently condensed the flame in his hand into a fireball and threw it out, but the moment the fireball touched the water mass, his face changed.
"My flame is gone!"
The little fire god watched helplessly as his flames gradually became dyed blue by the water mass and then disappeared. He was extremely surprised.
His flame did not evaporate the water directly as he had expected, but it was not extinguished by the water either.
Instead, it was directly... eaten! That's right, the word "eaten" would be more accurate in the context of the previous scene!
"Look carefully, this is not a water ball."
Qin Qi said.
After hearing Qin Qi's words, the little Vulcan stared at the water ball intently, trying to see something from it. At this time, he had forgotten that they were still fighting.
He now only wanted to figure out what had just happened and why his flame disappeared.
The little fire god stared at the water ball intently, while the people in the audience stands were also staring at the water ball and studying it.
But for a long time no one figured out what happened. After a while, the little Vulcan increased the firepower and used jet flames.
When the orange flame touched the water ball, it immediately turned aqua blue, and not just the part that was touched.
Even the parts that were not in contact were constantly being eroded, and the little Vulcan had no choice but to disconnect.
"What the hell is this thing! Why can it not only devour my flames, but also turn over and attack me along with the flames!"
No matter how the little Vulcan looked at it, this was just an ordinary ball of water without any attack power. Why was his attack completely ineffective?
"Hmm! No, this isn't a ball of water, it's a flame!"
At this moment, Zhuge Qing, who was watching the game in the stands, suddenly widened his eyes. He finally realized the problem. This was not a ball of water at all, but a flame!
