"Shali, are you up?"

"Is it Kaifeng? I'll come out now. ”

Crunch......

As soon as Sha Li opened the door, he saw the smiling and smiling Kaifeng, dressed in a long water blue dress, which was dreamlike in the morning mist, which swept away the residual attachment to sleep in the sea of Sha Li's knowledge.

"Silly melon, what are you looking at? Did you practice until the early hours of the morning last night? I told you a long time ago, you are still only in the Kaiyuan Realm, and you still need sleep. ”

"Haha, the fog is really heavy this morning!" Sha Li wanted to change the subject a little weakly.

"Okay, today is the day of the selection, I will take you to the division to assemble first, and then you will go to the venue with other applicants to participate in the selection. ”

"There will be a lot of people participating in the selection of the island guard this time, right?"

"That's nature. This is the first open selection for the whole island of Qiyuan Island, and any islander can participate as long as he thinks he has the strength to be qualified for the post of island guard. In principle, there is no age limit. ”

"Then let's go! By the way, let's talk to Master first. ”

"Grandma is in the alchemy room, she already explained last night, if you get up, just go directly to the competition. ”

With that, the two of them went to the Silver Beach sub-district together.

Because Sha Li was determined to join the island guard, Kai Feng told him a lot about the situation of the island guard during this time. In principle, the island guards of Qiyuan Island belong to the Sikou Yuan, and the whole island is divided into four major defense areas, one each in the southeast, northwest, and north. Under the four major defense regions, there are 81 sub-districts, with 20 defense zones in the east, south, and north, and 21 defense zones under the jurisdiction of the western defense zone. The number of island guards in each defense area is also different, ranging from dozens to hundreds, with a total of nearly 10,000 island guards responsible for the overall defense of the entire Qiyuan Island. The head of the sub-division is called the detachment leader, and above the detachment leader is the chief captain, and has about ten sub-divisions under his jurisdiction. Further up is the commander, who governs the four major defense regions in the southeast, northwest, and north. Above the commander is the capital commander, who is in charge of the entire Qiyuan Island Island Guard, and is also one of the elders of the Si Kou Dean.

"Kaifeng, you said that your Silver Beach Division is the most special division of the eighty-one divisions on the whole island, what is so special about it? Is it possible for me to become a member of your division?"

The Silver Beach Divisional Detachment is the youngest island guard on the island, basically bringing together the most talented young people on the island, and the age of the team members cannot exceed 30 years old. As for you......"

Kaifeng suddenly sped up, leaving Sha Li behind.

"How am I? Am I not talented enough to join your detachment?" asked Sha Li as he quickly followed Kai Feng with a serious face.

"Of course not, your talent may seem acceptable to ordinary people, but when you come to our team, you're only at the bottom, hehe!"

Shali: ......

"Okay, don't be discouraged, you perform well in the tryouts, maybe you really have a chance!"

Sha Li instantly perked up and clenched his fists, "I will definitely work hard!"

"How can there be so many people?" Although he knew that the open selection of the island guard would cause a big sensation, he was still shocked by the number of contestants standing on the silver beach.

"There will be 1,000 places in this island guard selection, and the number of applicants on the island has exceeded 100,000, which is an unprecedented event. Kai Feng looked at the 1,200 or so contestants at the scene and shook his head slightly, "Although there are a large number of participants, there are not many people who can really represent our Silver Beach Defense District to participate in the main competition! ”

Looking at Kai Feng's slightly disappointed expression, Sha Li only felt a little funny, "You didn't have much hope, okay?" By the way, you just said that you will participate in the competition on behalf of the division, could it be that the results of this selection are also related to the division?"

"It's a big deal! if the contestants can stand out and perform well, they will also add luster to the division to which they belong!" Kai Fengming's eyes suddenly lit up, "In addition, the division with excellent overall performance can not only get more cultivation resources, but also give priority to selecting talents from a thousand new island guards, which is especially important for the upcoming Reverse Beast Tide Tribulation in the future." ”

"It turns out that there is still this relationship. Shali muttered to himself.

"Kaifeng, Brother Sha, this way!"

Sha Li turned around and looked, a swarthy stout man was waving to them, not Zhi Yu but who it was.

"It's a bit like you to come so early. Before he even got close to Kaifeng, he began to joke, after all, one of his biggest hobbies is to sleep in.

"Haha, in fact, I don't want to be so early, my father wants me to bring these children of my own family to the competition, I don't dare to disobey!"

Looking at the helplessness on Zhi Yuan's face, Sha Li couldn't help but wonder, although Zhi Yu was tall, courageous, and looked like he was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he was in awe of his father at home.

"Sons of the Yan family? No, your family does not belong to the jurisdiction of the western defense area of the island!

"No, no, these people are actually collateral children, who were scattered from the clan hundreds of years ago. ”

"Okay, I'm not kidding you. Haha!"

Sha Li looked at Kaifeng's childlike innocence that was revealed from time to time and was also very helpless, and he couldn't handle it, not to mention Zhi Yu, who looked more simple than him.

"I knew Kaifeng was joking at me, by the way, Brother Sha, you should also get to know them, after all, you will all represent the division in the future. Jifeng, Jiyun, Jihui, you have also come to see Brother Sha. ”

Only then did Sha Li notice the two men and a woman standing behind Zhi Yu, the two men, one fat and one thin, looked very similar, and the woman was wearing a light green Luo skirt, delicate and elegant.

"I've seen Sha Senpai. Two men and a woman bowed slightly to Sha Li.

Sha Li was obviously a little confused by this title, but soon remembered that they were the sons and nephews of the Yan family, and they were naturally the sons and nephews of the Yan family, so he hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, "In Xia Shali, although I am friends with Chen, after all, I am not the elder of your Yan family, and I may not be older than you, you can just call me Sha Yi." ”

The two men and one woman were obviously a little embarrassed by Sha Li's words, and they all looked at Zhi Yu.

"Haha, Brother Sha is reckless and casual, you can just listen to him. ”

The woman named Jihui was much happier than the two men, and smiled slightly, "Since that's the case, we're going to be courteous, Brother Sha." ”

"It couldn't be better. Han Li said and looked at the two men and a woman, the pair of brothers looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and their cultivation was in the Kaiyuan Third Grade. And the girl in the green skirt who looks the youngest is the highest cultivation among the three, and the cultivation of the five grades of Kaiyuan is one grade higher than that of Sha Li.

"Sister Jihui is very good-looking, isn't it!" Hearing the transmission, Sha Li turned around in a daze, but saw Kaifeng squinting at him and smiling, obviously his gaze stayed on the girl in the green skirt for a little longer just now.

"I don't care if it's good or not, it's just that this Jihui has reached the fifth grade of Kaiyuan at such an age, and he is only a descendant of the Yan family, so obviously his talent is still good. ”

After Sha Li finished speaking, his heart jumped suddenly, and then he added, "Of course, this is still too far behind Kaifeng, it's like a difference between cloud and mud." ”

"Count you as acquaintances!Hmph!" Seeing Sha Li so eager to survive, Kai Feng couldn't help but laugh.

On the outer railing on the second floor of the outpost, Yan Chiping stood with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.

"Captain, the hour has passed, is it time to start?" the deputy captain Russell asked for instructions on the side, and his tall figure formed an interesting huge contrast with the short Yan Chiping.

"Let's get started!"

Russell looked at the dense figures below, in pairs of threes and twos, talking heads and ears, so lively. The vitality in his body was raised, and a majestic voice came out.

"The hour has passed, and all those who want to participate in the Island Guard Trials on the scene are now starting to register. ”

Although Russell's voice silenced the audience at the beginning, what he said later really confused those present.

"Vice Captain Luo, what do you mean by this? All of us present have already signed up before, otherwise we wouldn't be here!"

"Participating in the registration only indicates that you are willing to participate, but it does not mean that you are eligible to participate. ”

"Vice-Captain Naro, what does it mean to be qualified for the competition? ”

"It's simple, all you have to do is pass the eligibility test for your district. Russell's face was expressionless, and his tone was flat. Then, he stretched out his left hand, and a purple brocade stone appeared in his palm. With a wave of his hand, nine huge black domes appeared at the back of the crowd, and the sudden loud noise made the contestants look back.

"Contestants, no matter what method you use, as long as you can get one of these jacks of giant tripods from the original place to the downstairs of the outpost, or from the outpost back to the original place, without stopping on the way, you will be considered qualified for the competition. There is only one rule, and it cannot be supplemented by tricks. ”

The scene gradually erupted.

"So what's the trick?" someone at the scene asked.

"The captain has his own judgment, and you just have to try. In addition, if you think you are powerless or have failed, please leave the scene on your own. ”

The weight of lifting a thousand catties is far beyond the limit of mortals, and although the noise in the crowd gradually subsided, no one made a move. Some contestants knew that they were unable to lift the crown, so they chose to leave, leaving only a thousand people at the scene.

"I'll come first!" In the crowd, a bearded man took the lead in the challenge. I saw him holding the dingzu with both hands, and with a soft shout, the giant tripod rose in response. Then, he walked slowly on the sand with a giant tripod, followed by a series of footprints. In the end, he still put Ding downstairs at the outpost, panting like a cow.

"You are born with great strength, but you can also make it, count you as passing. The island guard under the outpost heard Russell's words and handed a transparent brown jade plaque to the strong man, with his name engraved on the front and a string of numbers on the back.

"This is your race number plate, and you can use it to participate in the next selection tournament. Russell said lightly.

With the first person to eat crabs, the rest of the contestants also began to jump into the action. Russell's voice began to stop.

"Dragging with the help of a skateboard is too tricky and invalidates you!"

"Lifting with the help of a pulley, too tricky, you will be invalid!" Russell's ruthless sentence disappointed the young man who thought he was smart and witty.

"The implementation of Juding in the sand, although there is a trick, but it is acceptable, and you will be sentenced!" Russell's sentence relieved the apprehensive middle-aged man.

"Lifting the tripod with one hand, you are born with great strength, and you will be judged to pass!" Obviously, the man who raised the tripod with one hand was more powerful than the first person to pass the test.

Soon, the mortals who were born or acquired to be physically strong had tried them one by one, but very few had passed the level. The cultivators are finally starting to appear gradually.

Although the Yuan Beings belong to another level of existence for mortals, not all Yuan Beings are strong enough at the beginning of their cultivation.

"If you don't have enough energy, stop halfway, and you will be invalidated!"

"If you don't have enough vitality and can't lift the tripod, you will be invalidated!" Sha Li also expressed deep sympathy for the female cultivator who couldn't even lift the jack tripod.

"If the control of the Yuan Qi is too poor, the merit will fail, and you will be judged to be invalid!" A male cultivator was about to succeed, but he could no longer control the Yuan Qi in his body, causing the Yuan Qi to be disordered, and thus missing out on passing the level.

Of course, most of the meta can still pass the test, and the main way is to carry the tripod directly. However, there are a few outliers.

"Yuan Whip Lading, sentence you to pass!"

"With Qi Yuding, you will be sentenced to pass!"

Jifeng, Jiyun, and Jihui also passed the test smoothly. Among them, Ji Hui carried the giant tripod with a sword as thin as a cicada's wings in his hand, which caused an uproar at the scene.

In addition, there are also many contestants who are reluctant to show their edges and keep a low profile.

Shali also wanted to emulate them, so he used a method that he thought was less eye-catching.

He kicked directly on the body of the tripod with his left foot, and after the giant tripod roared, it rose up, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed firmly under the outpost.

At the same time, a jaw fell on the ground.
