Chapter 30: Five Years of Cultivation to Improve the Speed and Surprise Everyone (II)
The academy bell rang one after another, resounding throughout the entire Dongcang Academy, but every disciple who heard the bell was excited, so two, three, five, and even many people went to the source of the sound one after another.
The bell of Dongcang Academy rings once a year, but this year it seems louder than in previous years.
These disciples came here to see the heroic appearance of the senior brothers and sisters in the inner court, and secondly, to watch this important competition, to watch the demeanor of their senior brothers and sisters in the outer court, to learn the essentials from their battles, and to comprehend their own kind of cultivation methods.
This is also the only opportunity for the disciples of the outer court to step into the inner courtyard every year, and they naturally don't want to let it go.
"Have you heard? Senior Brother Xiao Yin is planning to participate in the competition this time, so I'm looking forward to it!" a disciple interjected.
The other person said with a disdainful expression, "Cut! The news is lagging behind! I also know that Senior Brother Xiong Fei, Senior Brother Hu Feng, Senior Sister Xuanyu, and Senior Sister Taotao joined the academy at the same time as Senior Brother Xiao Yin. They're all going to take part in this competition!"
"Really, Damn, there's a beautiful young lady, it's a big show!"
The whole square was noisy and chaotic, like the call of buyers and sellers at the market.
"Quiet!" Suddenly, a thick voice interrupted everyone's discussion, and everyone hurriedly shut up.
I saw that on the rostrum of the presbytery, a long-bearded old man stroked his beard, swayed left and right, and finally stroked his chin to his knees, as if stroking his lover, extremely careful.
But it was such an appearance that made these disciples have a deep impression, and when they saw this long-bearded old man, they immediately remembered the cruel assessment when they first entered the academy, which could only be understood, not spoken!
A disciple hurriedly stopped the person next to him, for fear of affecting himself, "Shut up! It's Elder Wenxuan." ”
The man hurriedly shut up.
"Without further ado, I announce that the 520th Inner Courtyard Competition of Dongcang Academy has begun!"
"Elder Haixi, please take the position!"
Bang Bang Bang Bang ...... Applause resounded throughout the square.
"The competition is very simple, the top 10 will go to the inner courtyard immediately, and there will be a top 10 in both competitions, that is, there will be 20 people who can enter the inner courtyard.
The following contestants enter the venue. ”
After Elder Haixi finished speaking, he pinched the trick with his right hand, and a ball of light hit the center of the square.
The next moment, the square shook, a loud rumbling sound, a light curtain rose, and then a kilometer-long circular ring slowly rose and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
In the distance, the sound of breaking the sky was heard!
There was a person stepping on a long sword, the sword flew in, and he was holding a beautiful woman in his hand, and the woman's smile made the eyes of the disciples look starry, but she didn't dare to have any thoughts, simple worship, and the female disciples' eyes were full of envy.
Behind a man and a woman at the head, there is a person holding a jade flute in his left hand, his right hand behind his back, stepping on the green bamboo leaves, looking like a scholar, showing an elegant atmosphere, but this person is not good at chanting poems against it, but he is fierce.
Behind the scholar, a burly man, beside the man, followed by an elf-like girl.
One after another, disciples stepped into the ring, standing in a row, waiting for the next order.
"Oh my God! Senior Brother Xiao Yin, Senior Sister Taotao, Senior Brother Xiong Fei, Senior Brother Hu Feng, and Senior Sister Yuyu, are they really here? I'm looking forward to their competition!"
Elder Haixi asked everyone to be ready at all times, and then continued to explain the competition.
A total of 448 people participated in the competition for places in the inner court, first the selection of the Cypriot, then the semi-finals, the doubles semi-finals, the doubles finals, and finally the finals.
Half of the participating disciples are selected to enter the semi-finals, and the other half can only be forced to compete in the next competition, or to practice outside.
Then from this half of the disciples, they will be paired in pairs to participate in the doubles semi-finals.
Finally, there is the finals, which includes the individual and double finals, so the first place in the individual competition is not necessarily the first place in the finals.
"Selected into the Sai, it's actually very simple, in the Obstacle Forest, the academy has randomly placed two hundred and twenty-four flags, your goal is to compete for the flag, warm reminder, a person may not only pick up one flag. ”
Elder Haixi looked at these high-spirited disciples with a smile on his face, "Selection, start!"
With Elder Haixi's order, all the participating disciples crushed the wooden plaques on their waists, and the people disappeared from the square in an instant.
Immediately after, with the exclamations of these disciples, hundreds of screens appeared in the square, reflecting the environment where these disciples were.
Above the Council of Elders, the elders looked to their choices.
Elder Haixi naturally looked at the screen where Xiong Fei was.
Elder Ziyun looked at Hu Feng, a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded in approval from time to time.
Elder Huawen still cares about Li Yuan and Qi Zihua very much, when the two fought, Qi Zihua lost in spiritual power, and now Qi Zihua will no longer be confused by Li Yuan's "sword goes sideways", but even so, the two are still indistinguishable, but they have become friends because of this.
Therefore, Elder Hua Wen still cares a lot about whether the two of them will meet in this competition.
Among the elder-level figures present, only Elder Wenxuan and Dean Ye Xun stared at the screen where Xiao Yin was, and Ye Xun would also look at the quirky little girl from time to time.
"Look! Senior Sister Taotao successfully found a flag!" I don't know who shouted this, everyone looked over, only to find that Tao Yutao had found a flag, Tao Yutao quickly picked up the flag, and then flew in the direction where Xiao Yin was.
It's not that simple, the rules of the game don't say that snatching is not allowed, although there are nearly 500 people in this competition, but the vast majority of them are still the last time, the previous time, or even a few years ago who were not admitted to the inner court, they have average qualifications, survival of the fittest, and they were brushed down before, so their only chance to enter the inner court is these new disciples, relying on their own cultivation for a few more years, high cultivation, enough experience, snatch the flag, and then enter the finals.
Despite this, the seowon did not stop it, but instead agreed with this approach, and selected Xiu as a powerful human resource through this method............
To Xiao Yin and the others' surprise, Lu Lin was also the one who was not admitted to the inner courtyard.
When I saw Lu Lin with a booming cow pen, I thought he was a disciple of the inner courtyard, but I didn't expect that he was still messing around in the outer courtyard!
The last time Lu Lin snatched Xiong Yuyu's "Extreme Cold Storm", he was defeated by Xiao Yin, and he had a fire in his heart, when he thought about it, Lu Lin felt that his right hand still hurt, and he still had lingering palpitations about Xiao Yin's move, and he still didn't know what Xiao Yin used to hurt him!
Suddenly, a disciple flattered Lu Lin and said, "Brother Lin, it's her!"
When Lu Lin saw that the female disciple was actually Tao Yutao, his mouth immediately drooled, but he just thought about it, for Xiao Yin's cultivation improvement, even if more than a dozen of them were added up, they were not opponents, and they could only start from the people around Xiao Yin.
"Hah! It doesn't take much effort to get here, the flag is in hand, and it's a shot. ”
The disciples around Lu Lin got the order and directly took the banner in Tao Yutao's hand.
A disciple stopped Tao Yutao and said obscenely, "Little junior sister Yutao, give me your flag! I'm sure you can still find it!"
Tao Yutao smiled innocently, "Okay!"
Lu Lin's group was stunned, they didn't expect Tao Yutao to cooperate so much, and they were stunned for a while.
"But this is for Brother Xiao Yin, I just saw that there are several flags over there......? Let's go first!"
After speaking, Tao Yutao stepped on the "Wind Resisting Technique" and quickly left here, the innocent smile just now was nothing more than confusing their judgment and giving themselves a chance to escape, Lu Lin reacted at this time, scolded the stupid, and then continued to chase Tao Yutao.
However, Tao Yutao was not a rookie in the Gathering Spirit Period when he first entered the academy, not to mention that Tao Yutao's qualifications were already good, and he had already caught up with Shang Lu Lin and others in five years, and he was already a strong person in the middle of the second-order cultivation of Qi Gathering.
Therefore, Lu Lin and the others would definitely not be able to catch up with Tao Yutao, who was stepping on the Wind Resisting Technique, Lu Lin scolded directly, "Bastard, you actually let her run away! You stupid people, you are so fascinated! Isn't it beautiful?"
After scolding, Lu Lin suddenly thought of his drooling appearance before, and then whispered: It is indeed a little beautiful!
After determining that Tao Yutao was gone, Lu Lin and the others had no choice but to shift the target.
"That little girl just now said that there are several flags not far away, let's go! ”
So Lu Lin and the others returned, but they didn't know that what was waiting for Lu Lin and the others were several fourth-order obscured demon spiders.
Tao Yutao still passed by there quietly, and there was indeed a flag, but there was only one.
............
On the other side, a crisp female voice said to the man beside her, "Big brother, now that we have the qualifications, shouldn't we go to Senior Brother Xiao Yin?"
The man tore up a flag casually and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yin, they have the ability to be selected, what we have to do now is to reduce the number of flags, this inner courtyard competition is not like in previous years, many of them are our senior brothers and sisters, their strength is unfathomable, I heard that there is a senior brother who is already a strong person in the cultivation period." ”
"No!
"But the only thing to be thankful for is that they have average qualifications, they are all in their twenties and close to thirty years old, and they are destined to spend this life like this, and now we are worried about the senior brother of the Solid Spirit Period. ”
The woman nodded helplessly, "Alright then! Moon Blade!" and then took out the Moon Guardian and used the Moon Blade to smash a banner at will.
............
"Green Bamboo Sword!"
A scholar-like man held a green bamboo, and the green bamboo emitted a green sword light unique to bamboo, and slashed at the third-order porcupine in front of him, the third-order porcupine was hit, and it struggled on the ground for a while before stopping.
The scholar man removed the flag from the stone, then walked over to the porcupine and pulled out another flag from the porcupine's mouth.
The scholar man did not hesitate to tear up these two flags, he already had one, and killing these third-order porcupines was nothing more than trying to tear these two flags.
............
"Old Qi, let's go!"
"Li Yuan, you can! Six flags!"
Li Yuan picked out a banner and said indifferently, "What! I can't eat it!" and then stabbed a few times, tearing the other flags apart.
Li Yuan crossed Qi Zihua, leaving Qi Zihua with a blank face.
............
There was a fourth-order Obscured Demon Spider lying under the tree, Xiao Yin glanced at the Obscured Demon Spider, then jumped and took down the banner at the top of the tree, "Yutao, let's go! Find Brother Xiong Fei and them, and then return to the academy!"
............
On the other side, Lu Lin and the others had broken clothes, their hair was scattered, and they were extremely embarrassed, Lu Lin picked up a lone flag on the ground, it was tattered, but it could still be used, Lu Lin said fiercely, "Damn little girl, you dare to lie to me!"
Lu Lin and the others consumed most of their physical strength, and finally killed these six obsessed demon spiders, and successfully got this flag, since there was only one, it naturally belonged to Lu Lin, and the others didn't dare to say anything?
Dongcang Academy, everyone returned to the square in turn, when they saw Lu Lin and others, these new disciples wanted to laugh or not, they could only hold back, and some people couldn't even hold back their laughter.
"It's him!Senior Brother Zhao Ling, I didn't expect him to really come!"
Everyone suddenly talked about someone, not only these new disciples, but also many inner court disciples.
In everyone's discussion, Xiao Yin knew about this Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling could have entered the inner courtyard directly, but he did not enter the inner courtyard, the reason was very simple, he was looking for an opponent in the outer courtyard, but he couldn't find it, so he went out to carry out the mission.
Five years ago, I learned that there was a genius in the academy, so I ran to the major cities in Dongzhou every day, and finally completed all the tasks some time ago and rushed to participate in this competition.
Xiao Yin was very shocked by this person, because this person's cultivation had already reached the second-order cultivation in the early stage of Solid Spirit, and he was the only person who had been assessed by the inner court in the Solid Spirit Stage.
Xiao Yin put away the shock in his heart, returned to his position, and waited for Haixi to announce the results of the selection competition.
But as soon as Xiao Yin sat down, the man named Zhao Ling walked straight over.
I thought that the area he was in was next to Xiao Yin and the others, but he didn't expect Zhao Ling to walk directly in front of Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin raised his head and glanced at Zhao Ling, then looked at Zhao Ling's eyes, and said, "Senior Brother Zhao Ling, is there something wrong?"
Zhao Ling was slightly startled,
"You know me? I'm going to duel you!"
