In fact, I was a little surprised to see Xing Wu here.

Although only a hundred days have passed, there are so many things she has encountered......

So much so that it always feels like a long time has passed.

However, the moment I saw people, the memories of the old days instantly returned to my worried mind.

The ...... of that battle

Xing Wu should have been seriously injured.

I didn't think he would die under that sword, but it was a bit unexpected that he could still come to participate in the competition.

Look at the other party's eyes when they look at themselves, as if they hate it, but they also hide jealousy.

So, I felt that it was interesting to see the sorrow.

Xing Wu should be the only person in the entire Polar Region who has fought against him and knows his approximate strength, right?

I don't know, this kind of "knowing", will it bring trouble to yourself?

The ones who just let out the cruel words are his kind.

Although, they stand far away, and the relationship doesn't seem to be very good.

Seeing that the moment he looked at him, many thoughts had flashed through his mind.

It's just that it's rare to see a familiar face on such an occasion, and there is still some resentment, if you kill each other, the psychological burden doesn't seem to be so heavy.

Therefore, she actually felt that the other party's face had become kind.

Under the guidance of this thought, he felt that it was not good for him to pretend not to see it, so he showed a polite smile.

She really felt that she was at least not malicious.

But......

Why did Xing Wu have a ghostly expression on his face, as if he was still being ...... by himself

Scared?

"Worried?"

Suddenly there was a somewhat puzzled voice next to him, it was Chen Tingyan.

Only then did I remember that I was still with two friends.

So, she withdrew her gaze at Xing Wu and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I saw an acquaintance." ”

"Bugs over there?"

Of course, Chen Tingyan also saw it and snorted disdainfully, but he also quickly noticed Xing Wu's expression.

So, the doubt that had been suppressed for a long time came up again.

Seeing sorrow, what kind of strength is it?

"It's time to verify your identity. ”

Zhang Tang, who had not spoken, looked at the high platform, and suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was still dull.

Seeing sorrow, he followed his gaze, and saw that on the high platform in this square, there were thirty-one more stone platforms, which were carved with ancient cloud and thunder patterns.

Three gray-robed monks had already appeared in front of the three stairs leading up the high platform.

There was even a middle-aged man in a white embroidered gold robe, standing in the center of the high platform with a majestic face, scanning the surrounding crowd that was still boiling, and opened his mouth directly, the sound was like rolling thunder!

"The second round of the literary examination is about to begin, please be quiet!"

In the whole square, people crowded their heads, and some people felt that their position was not good, so they simply floated to the sky.

Some of the Minotaur monks are as tall as an iron tower, and some of the female nuns of the Gills Clan are delicate and delicate, of course, more of them still look like normal people.

They were arguing and talking to each other.

But this sudden sound actually suppressed the voices of all of them!

Everyone looked up in unison and looked over.

Standing in the crowd, I was even more surprised.

Such a voice, cultivation is not low!

"It's the owner of the eighteenth floor, named Zhou Qingyu, who was born in the ghost royal family. In the Ding Competition, the rules of the second round are like this, and the owner of the eighteenth floor presides over the literary examination of each city. ”

seemed to guess that Jianchou didn't recognize this person, Chen Tingyan directly used a fan and whispered in Jianchou's ear.

"If you look closely, this person's body is different from others. He is a monk in the realm of the golden body. ”

"Huh?"

The monks of the Golden Body Realm, that is, they have re-cultivated*, can be said to have crossed a big hurdle in the Extreme Domain.

Seeing that he was interested, he followed Chen Tingyan's words and looked carefully.

Sure enough, if you look closely, you can see that this person's body is thick and solid, which is completely different from everyone else who always looks a little floating.

It's like ......

A living person.

Moreover, the powerful aura around him seems to be difficult to fake.

Seeing the sorrow, he immediately paid attention.

That Zhou Qingyu seemed to be very satisfied with the effect he caused, and quickly changed his face to an indifferent smile, he waved his hand, and said directly: "Zhou is the owner of the eighteenth floor upstairs, thanks to the Bafang Yan Palace, it has been seven times since he presided over the second round of the competition. This is the first time Zhou has seen so many people come to see the second round. Similarly, in this competition, the monks who participated in the second round of my city in vain are even more unprecedented!"

"Huh-"

There was a sigh below.

Who doesn't know why there are so many people in the second round?

Isn't it because of the shameless propaganda of the Bafang Yan Palace?

Besides, who wants to hear what you have to say?

The matter of Ding Zheng can be said to be a big carnival in the entire polar region.

The crowd went crazy and didn't care about anything.

Immediately someone shouted: "You hand over the one called sorrow first, let's take a look first!"

"That's it, that soul bead is very small!"

"If you want to participate, you must be here too, right?"

"Who wants to listen to you brag up there, old man, you come down!"

"Yes, you come down!"

……

All of a sudden, there was a lot of cheering everywhere.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel the urge to dig a pit and bury myself.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she asked Chen Tingyan beside her in a low voice: "Won't this be an accident?"

Chen Tingyan also had an indescribable expression on his face, and looked at it with some pity.

He is tired of Ding Zheng, and he feels that Jian Chou is a smart person, and he will definitely not participate in Ding Zheng if there is no benefit, so he is not worried about the safety of Jian Chou for the time being.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the people around him, he spread his hands: "It has always been like this, but it is the first time that the situation is so enthusiastic." ”

“……”

Should I feel honored?

Seeing that he was worried about his forehead, he suddenly didn't want to speak.

Zhou Qingyu, the landlord on the stage, heard the voice below, and his face changed.

But what an old man is he?

The higher the enthusiasm of the people, the more Xuanyu will be earned in the future from the eighteen-story upstairs.

So, after only a few moments, the old stuff was back to normal.

He didn't mind the commotion of the crowd, and continued to speak casually: "In this Ding Competition, I have a total of 31 participants in the Dead City, including eight people from the eighteenth floor of the Dead City, four people from the Eight Directions Yan Palace, and a total of 17 people from the Ten Ghost Clans. ”

"You know, in the entire Polar Region, there is only a small number of places. ”

"There are three in each hall of the Eight Directions Yan Palace, which can be filled all year round, and there are five in each of the ten ghost clans, and eight in each of the seventy-two cities. To enter the second round, there will be nearly six hundred people in the entire Polar Region. but they shall be distributed to seventy-two cities. ”

"The city of vain death is only one of seventy-two cities, and there can be thirty-one people, and this year it has even surpassed our sworn enemy!"

When I heard this, I finally understood: this old man was so excited, it turned out that it was because of this......

It seems that among the seventy-two cities of the underworld, there is still a fight.

As soon as she thought so, Zhou Qing's remaining sentence confirmed her conjecture-

"This time, the thirty-one of you represent our city of vain death! I am here, I wish you all the ability to defeat the strong enemy and become the winner!"

"Winner!"

"Winner!"

……

Someone below suddenly shouted, very enthusiastic.

In a short time, it has already merged into a torrent.

Seeing that I was in the middle of it, there was only an indescribable sense of weirdness.

She looked left and right, some people were very excited on their faces, and some people were bored, as if they felt that Zhou Qingyu was very annoying, and they didn't get into the topic for a long time.

Sure enough, these people didn't carnival for a while, and some people below didn't buy it.

"Can you hurry up?"

"That's it, after reading the one you blew up, I still have to go home to accompany the child!"

"The clothes haven't been washed yet, can you hurry up?"

"Why can't I press Li Gongzi yet?"

"I know all day long about......"

……

Zhou Qingyu stood on the stage, his smile did not change at all.

He directly clapped his palms and motioned for everyone to be quiet, this time it was no nonsense: "Since everyone wants to watch the second round, then I won't say more." Now, all the monks who participated in the Ding Contest are invited to hold the Ding vows, choose any one of the verifiers, and enter the hall after verifying the Ding vows. ”

It's like the imperial examination has to be tested before entering the examination room, and it seems that the competition is not bad.

Seeing sorrow, Zhang Tang and Chen Tingyan glanced at each other.

"Let's go?"

"Let's go. ”

So, the three of them walked directly through the crowd and walked towards the "verifier" who was closest to them.

The verifiers, the three people who had stood by the high platform earlier.

Each of them has the cultivation of a golden body, and each of them looks like a drooping old man, looking at it exuding a kind of dead air, which makes people shudder a little.

Around them, no one dared to make a loud noise.

For Jianchou, the second round is actually a formality.

One is that she has enough knowledge herself, and the other is that she has already obtained the test questions and answers, can she still have no reason?

So, she's actually quite relaxed.

In a few moments, they were already in front of the verifiers.

It's just that at this time, other people have already arrived first, and they all automatically line up, ready to check one by one.

Seeing that they were worried, they had to come back in line, Zhang Tang was first, Jian was second, and Chen Tingyan was third.

At the moment when the verification began, the square was already full of discussions.

Obviously, soon they will know what they want.

At the front of them was a dark-skinned monk in a black robe, a little short, but very stout, and looked like a ghost king.

At this moment, he had already arrived in front of the verifier, took off his ring, and handed it to the verifier.

The examiner's face was wrinkled, and he held a disc that looked like a gossip disc with a circular groove in the middle.

He lifted his eyelids, glanced at the ghost cultivator in front of him, and asked, "What's the name?"

"Zhang Pei. ”

The man hurriedly replied.

"Hmm. ”

The inspector then lowered his eyes, took the ring, and pressed the ring face into the groove of the disc with a "snap"!

Suddenly, a mysterious dark green light flashed, dazzling people's eyes.

"Take the vows and go to the stage, find a place to sit down, and after half an hour you can start answering the questions, and when the hour comes, it will automatically end. If you can't get by, no one can help you. ”

As he spoke, the verifier handed the ring back.

The monk immediately took it with both hands, put it on, and immediately showed a look of surprise, as if he had discovered something. Then, he thanked the inspector again and again, and then walked up to the stage and sat down in a corner.

Seeing sorrow, he guessed that there must be some change in Ding Ring, otherwise the man would not have shown such an expression.

She was curious, but now the distant discussion was louder.

"That's Huang Zhu of the Ghost Royal Clan, right?"

"It seems that there are a lot of people in the Ghost Royal Clan this year. ”

"Do you see the cold?"

"I haven't seen it yet, I haven't gone up. Ouch. Don't squeeze!"

"Do you have the smallest soul orb?"

"I didn't see it, who the has the smallest soul bead?

"Definitely not, they all say that the soul bead is the size of a fine dust!"

"That's Xing Zhan of the Impermanence Clan, right?"

"Xing Feng and Xing Fei's brothers have also gone up!"

"Do I want to buy a soup to win this year?"

"This year, there is a Zhong Lanling in the capital city, and it is not bad in the middle of the jade nirvana. ”

"There is also a person named Pan Hexun in Yudu City this year, and he is taking the quota of the Wheel King Palace, do you know? This is the peak of Jade Nirvana, a strong man who is one step away from a golden body!"

"Scared!"

……

As the people came to power, one after another, the whole square became more and more boiling.

I even have the illusion that this is like putting a litter of monkeys in a frying pan......

"Next. ”

"Next ......"

"Next ......"

……

Soon, it was time to see sorrow.

Before she could react, Chen Tingyan in the back hurriedly poked her.

So, as soon as he looked up, he met the sharp gaze of the verifier.

This kind of gaze is unusual.

In addition to the displeasure, there seems to be a hidden surprise.

Seeing sorrow, it was easy to find that the other party's gaze seemed to fall on his forehead, and he could see the soul bead through here......

"Hello senior. ”

Seeing that the other party had not moved for a long time, he couldn't help coughing and took the initiative to say hello first.

The examiner seemed to have come back to his senses and stretched out his hand to the sorrow.

"Ding Ring. ”

Zhang Tang had already given this thing to her before.

At this moment, when he saw sorrow, he touched the dark green round ring from his sleeve and put it towards the palm of the verifier.

The verifier kept his tone straight again, and asked, "What's your name?"

At this moment, I felt that behind me, there seemed to be countless burning eyes that had been cast.

The surroundings were quiet for no reason.

As a result, a whisper became obvious: "Why can't I see her soul bead?"

“……”

When I saw the sorrowful back, it stiffened all of a sudden.

In the face of the verifier's almost menacing gaze, she knew she couldn't escape.

Simply......

Get out!

She took a deep breath and calmly pronounced her name: "...... See sorrow. ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

At that moment, centered on this staircase leading to the high platform, an eerie silence swept like a frenzy.

The next moment......

Bang!

"!"

"Your grandmother, ......"

"Oh my God, look at her soul beads!"

"My lord of Hades, I thought I was dazzled just now, and I didn't see her soul beads at all......"

"It turns out that the Bafang Yan Hall didn't deceive people!"

"How the is this cultivating?"

"Am I blind? Who did !! to my eyes?"

"Your uncle......"

"It's over, it's over, my game is lost......"

"This soul bead is too small, isn't it!

"How dare she come to participate in the competition......?

……

The sound was so chaotic and so chaotic that it was all so mixed together that it was impossible to hear what it was.

The effect is like dropping a thunderbolt in a corner of the square!

Zhao Yang, who was waiting at the edge of the square, was bored, and suddenly heard this explosion, and his whole scalp was numb.

The thin man next to him was even more shocked and jumped up directly!

"What's going on?!"

They are surrounded by people who also don't understand the situation.

"What's going on?" "What's going on over there?"

"It looks like a female cultivator!"

Someone pointed to a blue-robed shadow on the steps and shouted!

There are also people with sharp eyes, and when they think about it before and after, they almost immediately understand: "Soul beads! soul beads! It's that, that's !!."

That one......

Zhao Yang was stunned, and then his brain rose: Which one can it be?!! the smallest soul bead in the legend!

"Where, where?"

He couldn't wait to get up and ask someone next to him to help point out the location.

The man was also excited, and almost pointed in the wrong direction: "My cultivation is too low, look at it, is it the legendary soul bead?"

Zhao Yang looked in that direction and saw the figure standing on the stairs.

Slender and slender.

Blue robe, long hair, carrying a sword.

Bang bang, bang bang.

Heartbeat is racing!

At that moment, his mouth became dry.

The nun took the ring from the verifier, put it on her hand, and slowly began to walk towards it from the bottom of the steps.

So, the crowd that had been waiting for a long time finally noticed her completely.

After reaching the high platform, the nun chose a position, and her body, with her back to the whole square, finally turned around, revealing her fair face......

is also thorough, so that her soul beads can be observed by everyone.

As a result, what was originally a small corner exploded into a big explosion in the entire square!

In the corner, Zhao Yang was completely shocked, dumbfounded, and looked over;

On the high platform, Zhou Qingyu, who was presiding over the competition, also had complicated eyes and looked over;

On the side of the stone platform, the rest of the monks who participated in the contest looked over with endless inquiry;

In the square, thousands of people watched together!

All eyes on you!

On the high platform, he stood on the edge of the stone platform he had picked.

Countless and countless eyes, like countless and countless needles, pierced her, and the chaotic discussion, I couldn't hear who was saying anything.

In the past, people paid attention to her because she had strength.

But now......

This feeling is really inexplicably absurd.

Seeing sorrow, I smiled bitterly in my heart.

Zhang Tang was by her side, and she had long known the cause and effect of this incident, so she looked at her nose and nose and heart, and did not show an extra expression.

But everyone else, all of them are seeing sorrow, disdain, contempt, and curiosity......

It's all stacked on top of each other.

Seeing sorrow, he helplessly raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, wanting to calm down.

However, at the moment when she raised her hand, a dark blue figure suddenly came into view......

It was in the right direction for her.

The navy blue robe, the pale and somewhat transparent skin, and the facial contours are a little sharp, which naturally gives people a feeling that is difficult to approach.

A pair of dark blue eyes, as if made of glass, with a clear coldness.

As he walked up the steps step by step, the sounds around him seemed to be strangely quieter.

Seeing the sorrowful hand, it stopped in mid-air, and it was already frozen.

Two images came to her mind: the eighteenth floor upstairs, performing the "Immovable Ming King's Dharma Body", the ghost royal monk who killed people in an instant, and in black and white, one of the lists that Cui Jue recorded to take care of her!

The verifier stood on the steps.

The comer had already stopped, removed the ring from his index finger, and handed it out. Then, when he raised his head, he met the sorrowful gaze.

As a result, the thin lips opened an almost invisible arc.

"What's your name?"

“…… Bitterly cold. ”

Cold, with a faint and angry voice.
