But why is this the case?

There are probably two reasons for this, the first is that everyone has really consumed almost the same amount of real effort in the back, and there is not much real effort, so there is not much difference.

Second, that is, Lu Anda really regarded Su Ren as an opponent, as an enemy of equal proportions, he knew that Su Ren would definitely watch from the viewing platform at this moment, find out his own tricks, and if it was himself, he would do the same, so the really powerful tricks, that is, the rumored Xuanyu palm at the bottom of the box, or the one that occupied a little side with the palm method, could not see a shadow in the whole fight.

If Su Ren knew about this, he would have to give him a thumbs up, and it would be a pity not to be in power.

As soon as the eighth-order high-level competition is over, the entire second level is over, because there is another person, Hu Yantong, who is the first in the outer door, to be honest, he just came to go through the process, really let him go on stage, a few people dare to do something with him, it is estimated that a look will be scared enough.

The first place was won by Ge Shu'an without any suspense, the second place was Jiang Yulong, and the third place was Lu Anda.

"Okay, now the second level is over, everyone can leave, and the third level will be held in two days, and the location will remain the same. ”

......

......

Early in the morning, the sun is shining.

A day has passed since the assessment, and Su Ren's causal value is still in arrears, but the progress of the task has been greatly improved.

Task 1: Be Moderately Famous (The host gains fame among the outer disciples, and the goal is to make one out of every five people appreciate or approve of the host.) ）

Reward: 500 (causal value)

Status: Ongoing.

Completion: 56%

Su Ren was overjoyed, although this 500 causal value is a drop in the bucket for him now, but only when task one and task two are completed, or they are about to be completed, the system will issue new tasks, otherwise they can only stay stuck here, which is not what Su Ren wants to see.

Moreover, in just one day, many people have already visited the courtyard of No. 723, and the purpose is to see Su Ren.

However, these were all politely rejected by Su Ren, he knew that the intention of these disciples was nothing more than to get closer to him and gain benefits, and now Su Ren has no such plans, after all, all plans depend on the situation, as long as his own strength is strong enough, it is only a matter of one or two sentences to win over forces, and there is no need to worry too much about it now.

During this period, there seemed to be some abnormal movements in his body, and in the dantian, there seemed to be a faint aura different from his own, but it was ruthless and weak.

Su Ren asked Da Bai what the reason was, Da Bai spoke again to ask for 10 causal values to solve the puzzle, this is related to his own safety, Su Ren was not stingy, but Da Bai said that this is but when absorbing the power of thunder and lightning, some of the power of thunder and lightning ran to the dantian, and this power of thunder and lightning has been transformed by the power of the system, and there is no harm to the host.

This dispelled Su Ren's worries.

It didn't take long for Su Ren, who was talking happily with Tang Lei and others in the courtyard, to hear his name being called outside, and after seeing the person who came, he knew that this person had come to inform Su Ren to receive the reward for the second level, and the person who came was the doorman in Elder Sun's courtyard, and he led Su Ren to Elder Sun's small courtyard, and then went to inform Elder Sun to go.

In the quiet courtyard, in addition to Su Ren, there were many people, all of whom were in the top three of each cultivation level, among them, Su Ren saw two people at a glance, one was naturally Lu Anda, and the other was Ge Shu'an.

As soon as Ge Shu'an saw Su Ren, he immediately stepped forward like an old friend who had not seen him for many years, said hello, and then simply said something like asking Su Ren to come on, and then walked to the side and stood alone.

Such a refreshing but purposeful way of making friends made Su Ren unable to be vigilant, he had to admire Ge Shu'an's personality, not pretentious at all, and a very comfortable way of dealing with the world.

A moment later, Elder Sun, dressed in a Dao robe, walked out with a smile.

"The old man is responsible for the rewards of your little dolls, and according to the regulations, the first place will be rewarded with fifteen Xuan-level mid-grade Kaimai Pills, plus a Xuan-level middle-grade martial arts and a low-grade spirit soldier. ”

"The second place is ten Xuan-level mid-grade Open Pulse Pills and a Xuan-level low-grade martial arts. ”

"The third place is ten Xuan-level lower-grade Open Pulse Pills. ”

Elder Sun said unhurriedly, "Now, all of you stand together according to the ranking you have obtained, the first place stands together, the second place stands together, and the third place stands together. ”

Then, Elder Sun walked in front of everyone and handed out the elixir, Su Ren got the three white porcelain bottles in his hand, gently uncorked the bottles, and asked for a medicinal fragrance, but compared to the elixir produced by the system, it was naturally much worse.

"Hey, these pills are of average use to me. Su Ren carefully put it away, and then waited for the next reward.

Elder Sun had been observing everyone's expressions after receiving the reward, but he found that Su Ren was able to remain calm under the temptation of such an elixir after receiving fifteen Xuan-level mid-grade Open Pulse Pills, without a trace of excitement at all.

"It's worthy of being a disciple who has already entered the sight of the elders of the inner gate, and it's really not ordinary. Sun Wanzhi sighed in his heart, he was thinking, it would be good if he could meet Su Ren earlier, in that way, Su Ren would become his disciple.

"Hehe, now, the third place can leave first. Elder Sun spoke.

As a result, the third place at each level quickly left, and Elder Sun said again, "Okay, you guys go to Tingxuan Pavilion with me." ”

......

The second time he came to Tingxuan Pavilion, Su Ren was naturally familiar with the road, and after Elder Sun showed the elder token and recorded it, the first place was uniformly arranged to the Tibetan Gong Room with only Xuan-level middle-grade exercises, while the second place was arranged to go to the Tibetan Gong Room with only Xuan-level lower-grade exercises, and after everyone selected, they were brought into the library with only Xuan-level middle-grade and Xuan-level lower-grade martial arts.

Specially sent by Tingxuan Pavilion to follow, one person can only choose one, if you choose the exercises, you can't choose martial arts, and if you choose martial arts, you can't choose the exercises, you can only choose one of the two, and you can't have both.

In short, everyone takes what they need, just like Su Ren now, the exercises he practices are still [Jinyang Jade Practice], and he didn't plan to change to other exercises halfway, so he chose martial arts.

Su Ren sorted out his situation a little, and found that his swordsmanship did not need to be replaced for the time being, the [Thunder Sword Technique] was a Xuan-level top-grade, and at present, it was already a very high grade, and at the same time, it was also his most powerful martial art, and there was no need for a new swordsmanship for the time being.

And the footwork he practiced was [Thunder Treading Sky Step], which was a Xuan-level lower grade, and had reached the realm of Xiaocheng, so far he had not dragged him back.

The palm technique [Jinyang Great Mudra] is a yellow-level top-grade, although the origin is extraordinary, but with the improvement of cultivation, this martial art is indeed a little backward.

After some consideration, Su Ren chose to change a palm technique, or some other martial arts, and with a goal, Su Ren quickly searched for it.

The martial arts placed in the Tingxuan Pavilion were also very well-behaved and classified, so Su Ren first went straight to the place where the palm was stored.

"Crane Shadow Palm": Xuan-level mid-grade martial arts, cultivated to the fullest, palm out of the crane, dexterous and fast.

"Traceless Palm": Xuan-level middle-grade martial arts, the palm technique is elegant and smart, the refining is complete, and the palm shadow in the sky is traceless.

......

Suddenly, the name of a secret book attracted Su Ren.

"Great Compassion and Great Compassion Thousand Leaves Palm": Xuan-level mid-grade martial arts, the palm is invisible, the universe in the palm, one palm leads the mountains and rivers to extinction, and refining Dacheng can hook the enemy's mind, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Note: If you need to be cautious when practicing this exercise, there are predecessors who have practiced this palm method and gone crazy, choose carefully!

Although there are only a few words, it is a clear introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of this martial art, and Su Ren wants such a taboo martial art.

Others don't dare to practice, doesn't he dare to practice?

When the system is dry?

After paying attention, Su Ren didn't look at the others, he looked around and found that many disciples were still looking, so he took the secret book and walked towards the door.

"Elder, the disciple has already been chosen. As soon as Su Ren went out, he saw two elders, one of whom was Sun Wanzhi, so he said respectfully.

"Oh, so fast!" The two elders were slightly surprised, there were thousands of martial arts in this layer, so many martial arts covered all kinds of categories, and generally first-time disciples would be fascinated by the variety of martial arts inside.

And the little guy in front of him didn't even have half a pillar of incense before he came out, how could the two not be surprised.

"Hehe, worthy of Su Ren, who is extremely talented, has a future, haha, wait for me to say hello to your master. Elder Sun smiled and nodded.

This made Su Ren's heart speechless for a while, and he didn't forget to pat himself on the back at this time, and sure enough, the old ones were all human spirits.

"Little doll, let me see what you chose?" The other Ting Xuan Pavilion elder was also curious.

Originally, Su Ren was planning to explain to the elders the martial arts he had taken, because in the end, he had to register to take it, and he had to return the original when he came over.

"Hey, it's this, it's an interesting boy. ”

"I'll see. When Elder Sun heard the exclamation of the elder next to him, he also leaned over to take a look curiously, and suddenly, he also let out an exclamation.

Then he smiled with relief: "Su Ren, sure enough, only you kid is so bold, give, Elder Ben has nothing to give you, this is a concentration incense, light this incense when you comprehend this palm method, it can help you stick to your mind, so as not to go mad." ”

Su Ren turned out three sticks of incense and said, "Then thank you elder, I will definitely wait for you to say hello to my master when I go back." ”

"Hey, good boy. Sun Wanzhi also laughed happily, a few second-grade tranquilizing incense is nothing, if he can make friends with the elders of the inner gate, it will be too worthwhile.

Su Ren was also happy in his heart, it seems that yesterday's domineering appearance has left a deep impression on the elders, and now even Sun Wanzhi, one of the [Three Elders of the Outer Gate], has come to slap my master through me, presumably I can walk sideways in this outer gate in the future!

"Although this palm technique is a Xuan-level mid-grade martial art, it is more difficult to practice than the ordinary Xuan-level high-grade martial arts, so you don't want to waste your time in vain. The elder of the Tingxuan Pavilion reminded.

"Thank you for reminding the elders, the disciple has the confidence to practice this master. Su Ren said respectfully again.

Sun Wanzhi nodded, didn't say anything more, Su Ren took the secret book, waited on the side, and quickly registered.

The second one to come out was Ge Shu'an, when he saw Su Ren, he paused slightly, as if he didn't expect Su Ren to come out earlier than him.

When the time was almost over, Lu Anda came out, and at this point, everyone had already chosen a martial art or exercise.

"Okay, now the second disciple can leave, and the next step is to issue spirit soldiers to the first place. Elder Sun said.

Sun Wanzhi brought a few people to the Armory Pavilion of Tingxuan Pavilion, and then there was also an elder here, and after seeing Sun Wanzhi coming, he greeted him very warmly, and the two seemed to be old acquaintances. Sun Wanzhi simply explained the rules to the disciples, and then he was still the same as before, and let a few people go in and choose. This time Su Ren didn't choose much, after all, he now has a [Seven Star Sword] in his hand, which is a high-grade spirit soldier, and the core disciples don't necessarily use it, some of them are such good weapons, and then go to see the spirit soldiers, to be honest, these can't get into Su Ren's eyes, so Su Ren randomly selected a thin sword, the sword body is two inches wide, and it is the first weapon pavilion to walk out, Sun Wanzhi saw it, as if he had just taken a preventive shot, this time he was not very surprised.

"Su Ren, are you sure about tomorrow's assessment?" Sun Wanzhi asked idly, this is also Su Ren, replaced by other disciples, he didn't take a straight look at it at all, in the outer gate, they [three elders] How can it be above 10,000 people, in the case of the elders of the inner gate not interfering, this outer door is the final say of the three of them, even if they have some talented disciples, it will not necessarily attract their attention, after all, the three of them have stayed at the top of the outer door for a year or two, during which they have also received a few closed disciples with good looks, and now some have become the disciples of the head of the family, although the relationship between master and apprentice is not as close as in the world, one day is a teacher and a father for life, but if they really let them lower their bodies and ask their former apprentices to help, I believe that no one will refuse, but people with status like them will not easily pull down the old face in such a relationship, unless you encounter something that cannot be done, and it is a matter of survival, you will definitely do it at that time.

"Of course I'm sure, by the way, Elder, I still have to ask you about Lu Anda's news, I don't know if you know it? It's okay to talk about anything, even if it's gossip and rumors. ”

"Hmm......" Sun Wanzhi hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the disciple who was still selecting weapons, and then spoke: "Su Ren, well, I just heard that you are going to challenge that Lu Anda, it is said that it is a beam that was formed before, Lu Anda...... Do you know who his master is?"

Su Ren frowned, Lu Anda also has a master? Could it be that he is also the master of the Inner Sect Elder?

Su Ren shook his head and said, "I don't know, please let the elder know." ”

Sun Wanzhi paused and said: "If you want to challenge Lu Anda, yes, since you have this plan, I also believe that you have this strength, but Lu Anda's master is Cha Kui, and there are three levels in the outer disciple assessment, and the outer door [three elders] A presiding over a level, the remaining last level is both a ranking battle and a life and death battle, if there is a disciple in the second level of life and death, our elders will shoot, and the third level will not, the so-called ranking battle, in fact, it is also useless, in the second level is often the strongest in the same level is selected, the third level is for you to dare to cross the border to challenge the disciple preparation, all the low realm challenge high realm victory disciples, the reward is extremely rich, and, if the performance is excellent, you can get our [three elders] 's joint recommendation to let it enter the inner door in advance. ”

"The remaining third level is presided over by Lu Anda's master Cha Kui, if you want to challenge Lu Anda, the rules are okay, but no one can guarantee that no one will do anything. ”

"The disciple knows, thank you for telling the disciple this information. Su Ren nodded.

He understood what Elder Sun said, if he fought against Lu Anda and had the upper hand, then Cha Kui, as the master, was very likely to intervene, as for how to intervene, or whether the other two elders would stop it, these were all uncertain variables.

Moreover, Lu Anda's own strength is not shallow, and Su Ren himself can't boast that Haikou will definitely win, respecting the opponent is also respecting himself, so that he can more fully realize his own shortcomings, find weaknesses, and overcome it.

It didn't take long for several people to finish selecting their weapons, and after registering, Sun Wanzhi said that he could go back, and Su Ren would immediately return to his courtyard, during which the system had already begun to automatically learn [Great Compassion Chiba Chiba Palm], and Tang Lei, Li Hongyu, Niu Xiaoman and the others have also been stimulated by Su Ren's strong strength in the past two days, Tang Lei, who has cultivated the least hard, has been hiding in the room to cultivate since he returned to the courtyard, Su Ren only occasionally saw him come out a few times, and each time he couldn't say a few words, so he went back to the room and continued to cultivate.

............

The path paved with bluestone slabs winds and turns, leading to the distance, on both sides of the path, there are many flowers and trees, some are elixirs, and in the distance, a single courtyard stands, covered by clouds and mist, and it is not real to see. The vitality of this mountain peak is rich, several times richer than where the outer disciples live, and if they can cultivate here, the cultivation speed is probably much faster than outside. The further you go, the fewer trees there are on both sides, and a hurried back on the path is walking towards the courtyard.

It was not long before the man came to the gate of the courtyard. The strange thing is that there is no doorman in this courtyard, and the man knocked on the door and shouted, "Disciple Lu Anda, I have something to see Master." ”

In a moment, the door creaked open, and there was no one, Lu Anda seemed to be surprised, and walked straight into the courtyard.

"Disciple Lu Anda, I have seen Master. "After leaving from Tingxuan Pavilion, Lu Anda came all the way to Cha Kui's residence, the outer gate [three elders] are all exclusive to a vigorous mountain, of course, this mountain peak still belongs to the outer gate range, unlike the other two elders, Cha Kui is in the courtyard, there is no doorman, maid, only one person, occasionally some disciples will come to visit, on weekdays this courtyard is covered by clouds and mist, but it seems quite deserted.

In a slightly dimly lit side room, Lu Anda met Cha Kui and bowed as a disciple.

Cha Kui, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on a felt cushion with his eyes half-closed, and slowly spoke for a long time: "It's Anda, what is the matter with finding a teacher?"

"Master, tomorrow is the third level, Su Ren's kid will definitely challenge me, I ......"

Without waiting for Lu Anda to finish speaking, Cha Kui said a little grimly: "What are you? Don't tell me that you are not sure to win him?"

"No, it's not. Lu Anda hurriedly said: "Master, I want to say that with Su Ren's identity as a kid, if I win, he won't cause any trouble, right?"

Cha Kui's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What trouble can there be, this is the rule of the sect over the years, why, just because there is a master of the inner sect elder, you are intimidated? ”

"That'...... Master, it's okay for me to kill Su Ren, right?"

Cha Kui didn't answer immediately, but thought about it for a while, and then said: "No problem, this is originally the rule of the sect, and you can't blame others for looking for death yourself." ”

"Okay, Master, the disciple is leaving. ”

"Well, don't embarrass your teacher, if you are defeated and Su Ren didn't kill you, you can find a place to bury yourself. ”

Lu Anda nodded and left the courtyard, defeated? Lu Anda never thought that he would lose to Su Ren, if he said that he would face off against Jiang Yulong, Ge Shu'an and others, he really didn't have the confidence to dare to say that he would definitely win, but in the face of Su Ren, his confidence immediately exploded.

............

Early the next morning, as soon as the sun rose, some disciples began to rush to the martial arts arena, probably to grab a better position, because everyone knows that there are fewer battles in this third level, maybe only a few, but each one is a master duel among masters, and if this rare scene is missed because there is no good position, it is really regrettable.

In the courtyard of No. 723, Su Ren and Tina sat at the stone table in the courtyard, and Tang Lei, Niu Xiaoman, and Li Hongyu also knew each other very well and left early.

"Senior brother, you ...... Do you have to fight against Naluanda today?" Tina said for a long time, and finally spoke. I don't know what's wrong, now when she faces Su Ren again, she can't mention the idea of teasing in her heart, maybe Su Ren is getting stronger and stronger now, even Qing Yao is telling her not to treat Su Ren like before, this is everyone's instinct when facing the strong, what's more, Su Ren's talent is indeed amazing, everyone can see it, and it can't be taken lightly.

Although Tina was haunted by the previous incident in her heart, after so much time, Su Ren had always worked hard and complained, and she didn't say anything, and she was half angry in her heart.

Forgive? Perhaps, Tina herself doesn't know, her heart is entangled.
