On this day, the main hall of the Heavenly Ghost Sect posted a notice of the sect. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fifteen days later, the new disciples have to take the first test of the martial arts competition.

The first test of the martial arts competition is a test of the practice of new disciples, and new disciples who have achieved the ranking will be rewarded by the sect, and the main purpose is to promote the martial spirit of the sect. After all, only if the sect is invincible in the cultivation realm, can it continue to pass it on.

With the twenty top-grade spirit stones rewarded by Ning Tianqi, Xu Yang decided to go to Zongneifang City to buy some handy equipment and prepare for the first attempt. Early in the morning, Xu Yang took the small teleportation array in the sect and came to the inner fang city of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

The Heavenly Ghost Sect is worthy of being the leading sect in the Zhongyuan Continent, and there are many shops in the city of the sect, and the scene is grand. Most of the shops are opened by the sect itself, and a few are opened by large chambers of commerce and families renting shops here.

Xu Yang excitedly walked back and forth on the streets of Fang City, and entered a store with a large number of people and not very large.

As soon as he entered the store, he was greeted by a middle-aged shopkeeper with a slightly chubby figure and two mustaches.

"This son, please inside. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Shop, what are the offensive and defensive magic weapons, help me recommend them. Xu Yang asked.

The shopkeeper invited Xu Yang to take a seat, then took a picture album and said, "What is recorded here are all kinds of attack and defense magic weapons that are treasured by this store. Childe can choose by himself, if there is something satisfactory, I will go to give the real thing to Childe to taste. As he spoke, the shopkeeper picked up a teapot on the table and filled Xu Yang with a cup of spiritual tea.

Xu Yang flipped through the atlas, what Jiuyang Knife, Red Blood Hook, Huatian Sword, and magic weapons with various names were dazzling. The price of a good magic weapon is also outrageous, and he can only rely on his own financial resources, after all, not someone always rewards him with a large number of spirit stones.

Xu Yang chose three magic weapons that were relatively satisfactory in price and function. An offensive weapon "Sanyang Lihuo Cone" and two defensive magic weapons, one is a close-fitting "Golden Silk Soft Inner Armor" and a "Stainless Steel Shield". ”

"Can you tell us more about these three artifacts? Xu Yang asked.

"Childe has a unique vision. These three yang fire cones, a set of three, can be used flexibly. A set of three can form a small fire formation, amplifying the fire spell, both offensive and defensive, it is a rare set of medium-grade magic weapons, and it is rumored to be the work of Ouyang Cheng, the master of refining weapons in the sect.

The "Golden Silk Soft Inner Armor" is a close-fitting defensive low-grade magic weapon, which is light and durable. The "Steel Shield" is also a defensive low-grade magic weapon, with good defense, but slightly bulky.

The Sanyang Fire Cone is worth five high-grade spirit stones, and one of them was forbidden to damage a layer during use, so the price is also discounted, and the price of being truly intact is more than ten times higher. However, you can ask a special refining master to repair it, but the repair cost is too high to be cost-effective, and the success rate is low. The gold silk soft inner armor is worth two high-grade spirit stones, and the stainless steel shield is worth one high-grade spirit stone. The three pieces add up to eight high-grade spirit stones. Our store can give a discount to Taoist friends, three together with seven high-grade spirit stones and five medium-grade spirit stones. The housekeeper said.

The grades of general magic weapons are divided into five types: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, best grade, and Xuantian Spirit Treasure, and there is also a legendary immortal magic weapon. The difference in the grade of the ritual weapon is mainly the quality of the material of the ritual weapon, as well as the number of prohibitions on it and the difference in the quality of the function.

Magic weapon refining requires a specialized refining master or even a refining master. Lower-grade artifacts can also be further refined, increasing the prohibitions engraved on them and evolving into higher-order artifacts. The success rate of evolution is closely related to the original materials of the magic weapon and the methods of the refining master.

Xu Yang carefully inspected the three items, which were the same as those introduced in the album. The price was still affordable, so I bought all three.

Xu Yang bought dozens of fire bullet talismans, this fire bullet talisman is suitable for low-cost monks who lack mana, especially after using the small magic circle with the Sanyang fire cone, it is a good way to temporarily make up for the combat power. After visiting a few more shops, seeing that the time was not early, Xu Yang hurriedly left Fang City and returned to his residence.

Inside Xu Yang's residence.

According to the method of recognizing the master of the magic weapon he learned, Xu Yang recognized the master of these three magic weapons one by one.

The recognition of the master of the magic weapon means that the owner of the magic weapon injects a small amount of his essence blood into the secret key forbidden on the magic weapon. After the recognition is successful, only the owner of the weapon can flexibly manipulate the weapon, and the owner of the weapon can also remove the owner of the weapon by himself.

In addition to the blood confession, there are other special ways to recognize the Lord. For example, the characteristic of the Confession of the Lord is that it must be a monk who practices the same practice to use a special secret method in order to pass on a magic weapon.

The Sanyang Fire Cone is a small set of magic weapons, and it requires considerable proficiency to operate. Xu Yang will practice every day, sharpening his gun in battle, and he will be light if he is not happy. Fortunately, Xu Yang has practiced martial arts with his mother since he was a child, and after a few days, he also used it decently.

The Steel Shield is a simple defensive weapon that is relatively easy to control. The golden silk soft inner armor is worn directly inside the clothes, which is very convenient, but the defense is slightly weaker.

The day of the first exam.

Early in the morning, all the disciples were taken to the Yanwu Academy in the sect. The venue of the Yanwu Academy is divided into more than 20 pieces of large and small, and the steps are distributed on the hillside, and from a distance, it occupies a hillside. There is a ring in each arena, and ten of them have flags with numbers from one to ten written on them.

The competition is divided into preliminaries and finals. In the preliminaries, the disciples were divided into ten groups by lot. Overseen by the designated elders, the winners will face off in pairs until the winner of the next round is determined as the winner of the ten groups. The second day is a day off, and the third day is a final. The top 10 players in the preliminary group will draw lots to face each other in pairs, and the victorious ones will go to the next round, and finally the remaining two will determine the first and second places in the finals, and the other eight will not be ranked second.

At the end of the draw, Xu Yang was drawn to No. 76 and was assigned to the seventh field.

I saw that in the seventh ring, Xu Yang was wearing a light green robe, standing straight on the side of the ring, with an indifferent expression. Xu Yang was calm on the surface, but he was a little nervous inside, after all, it was the first time in his life to fight with others.

On the other side is also a teenager. This person is about the same height as Xu Yang, dressed in blue. He has a thin face, a tall nose, and small but bright eyes. This is the first time Xu Yang has fought with someone in his life, and he can't help but look at this person carefully. Xu Yang let go of his divine sense and found that this person's cultivation was the same as his own, and he was the cultivation of the first layer of the spiritual realm, and his heart was half relieved when he mentioned his throat.

Zhu is willing to see the means of this fellow Daoist. The teenager on the other side said.

"Under the surname Xu, I have the honor to learn from Brother Zhu today. Xu Yang replied.

With the order of the competition superintendent, the game officially began.

As soon as Xu Yang raised his hand, a fist-sized flame shot out from his right hand, hitting the opponent's chest.

The young man surnamed Zhu on the opposite side did not show weakness, opened his mouth, and spewed out a ball of water bomb and collided with Xu Yang's fireball head-on, with a hissing explosion, the water bomb and the fire ball both disappeared, leaving a cloud of water vapor scattered in the air.

Xu Yang fired five or six fire bombs one after another, all of which were defused by the young man surnamed Zhu on the opposite side with water bombs. Xu Yang flicked his wrist and shot out a fire cone.

The fire cone is wrapped in fire attribute mana, like an arrow from the string.

Seeing this, the young man surnamed Zhu spun out with a blue folding fan, and a large mass of rotating water attribute mana instantly turned into a water shield in front of him, leaving the fire cone and drilling into the water shield, like a quagmire, his speed and aura were greatly weakened. With a clang, it bounced off the cone of fire.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Xu Yang's divine sense moved and retracted the fire cone. The young man surnamed Zhu took the opportunity to urge with his mana, and a water python with a thick bowl mouth flew out from the folding fan, and went straight to Xu Yang with a fierce momentum.

Xu Yang hurriedly sacrificed the stainless steel shield. The anaconda and the steel shield collided together, the steel shield was smashed and swayed, and the anaconda turned into a large splash of water and scattered, but the force of the shock made Xu Yang feel that the palm holding the shield was shaken and painful.

The two sides have been back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, twenty rounds have passed, and sweat has already oozed from Xu Yang's forehead.

Xu Yang pretended not to be able to support it, retreated again and again, and secretly accumulated mana.

The young man surnamed Zhu saw that Xu Yang was gradually losing his strength, smiled proudly, and danced with a folding fan even more fiercely. I saw the young man surnamed Zhu throw the folding fan into the air, pinched the trick with both hands, and shouted, "Fall." "Arrows of water flew out like locusts from folding fans. Xu Yang held a shield to block it, and at the same time retreated, leading the young man surnamed Zhu to the corner of the ring.

At this moment, Xu Yang suddenly sped up his movement, and in a flash, he jumped away from the attack of the water arrow. He withdrew the stainless steel shield and raised his hand to shoot out three cones of fire.

Seeing this, the young man surnamed Zhu pinched the trick with both hands, and the folding fan spun in front of him, forming a whirlpool of water-attribute mana, and he was about to hard-catch the fire cone that shot in.

Xu Yang's divine sense moved, and the three fire cones went in three directions, strangely in the air. The circle that formed a triangle between the three fire cones rotated rapidly, and wisps of fiery red runes kept wandering in the circle.

The strange blow from the fire cone made the young man surnamed Zhu subconsciously put the fan up to protect his head. In an instant, a vacancy appeared in the chest of the young man surnamed Zhu, Xu Yang shook his right hand when he saw the opportunity, and three fire bomb talismans shot out in a volley.

"Boom!" the three talismans suddenly burst open, and a huge flame rose into the air. The flame was pulled by the formation of the fire cone, and through the small magic circle of the three fire cones, it turned into a fire python, and directly attacked the young man surnamed Zhu.

The young man surnamed Zhu didn't have time to dodge, so he opened his mouth in a hurry, and a big mouthful of essence was frantically injected into the folding fan, which instantly became larger and blocked in front of him, covering his head and chest together.

Seeing this, Xu Yang shook his wrist. Three more detonation talismans shot out, hitting the feet of the young man surnamed Zhu. I only heard two continuous rumblings, and the huge fire python bombarded the folding fan as big as a screen, and sparks splashed in all directions.

The body of the young man surnamed Zhu who was shocked by the huge shock wave shook backwards. Just as Zhu's body had not yet stood firm, three other detonation talismans arrived as scheduled and exploded under his feet.

The young man surnamed Zhu secretly screamed badly, and instinctively flashed like a side.

At this moment, Xu Yang rushed to the young man surnamed Zhu with an arrow step, and a sweeping leg kicked firmly on the opponent's calf.

The young man surnamed Zhu groaned, stumbled to the side, and fell out of the ring.

"Number seventy-six wins. The match supervisor said immediately.

Xu Yang saluted the competition supervisor and jumped out of the ring. came to the young man surnamed Zhu, and hugged his fists: "Brother Zhu agrees." ”。

The young man surnamed Zhu was originally in the upper hand, but now he was knocked out of the ring by Xu Yang. Seeing Xu Yang's sincerity, he also clenched his fists slightly: "Brother Xu's skills are superior." After speaking, he turned around and left with an unwilling face.

In fact, Xu Yang's serial tricks had been practiced several times in the preparation a few days ago. I didn't expect that today's use would really work, Xu Yang was secretly glad in his heart.

Although the magic circle formed by the fire cone can increase the damage of the fire attribute, it also requires a lot of mana, and with Xu Yang's current mana, it can be activated at most two or three times in a short period of time. Moreover, the upper limit of the total amount of fire attribute mana from the increase of the fire cone is not high, after all, it is only a medium-grade magic weapon.

Next, Xu Yang watched the other players play. Seeing that the strength of many of the disciples who participated in the competition was far above him, the excitement just now calmed down suddenly.

As Xu Yang expected, Xu Yang was defeated by a child of a family in the second round of the group stage of the seventh court.

In the end, one of the young male cultivators named Nangong Chongshan won the first place in Xu Yang's group.
