The day dawned, when the morning glow ignited the eastern sky, and the golden light sprinkled on the vast plains of Hongwu Academy, the smoke rose one after another, and a new day came. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the huge square of Hongwu Academy, a full twenty-one bells rang, the bells have a long history, shaking everyone's eardrums, and the annual martial arts competition of Hongwu Academy has finally begun!

When Nie Chen and Nie Ling'er felt that the martial arts arena was being performed, there were already thousands of people gathered here, and the deans of each branch were already seated on the audience stage with their disciples. The people of the Qida Branch have different clothes and eyes, and sitting together they form seven plates, which are very easy to distinguish.

Nie Chen saw the Sword Sect branch in cyan clothes from a distance. As soon as he walked over, Xia Chunqiu came up with concern and asked, "I've been waiting for you two for a long time, how are you preparing?"

"No problem. Nie Chen replied lightly.

Looking at Nie Chen's lightweight appearance, Xia Chunqiu breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew that this young man who was only in his twenties was much more mature than his peers, since the former answered himself so easily, then he had a great grasp of this matter.

Just opposite the Sword Sect Branch, Lu Xuefeng, who was also the dean of the Huangtu Branch, had already led the disciples to take their seats, Lu Xuefeng's face did not have too many expressions, but there seemed to be a strong expectation in his eyes, another year has passed, and the younger generation of disciples among the students must have grown a lot, this year, what extent can they reach? I heard that Nangong Wuji has broken through the realm of the three grades of the Yuan King and reached the peak of the three grades of the Yuan King. And Li Lei of the Huangtu Branch and Kong Fangfei, the chief disciple of the Crazy Dragon Branch, also seem to have reached the level of the peak of the second rank of the Yuan King, and they may break through the third rank of the Yuan King at any time.

It seems that there is still no suspense in the top three positions of this year.

But this year's top five disciples will represent Hongwu Academy to go to the Great Liang Kingdom to compete for the qualification of the mainland ranking battle, who will the other two places be?

Lu Xuefeng's eyes scanned the crowd of martial arts arenas like eagles......

Just behind him, Nangong Wuji and Li Lei were sitting far away from Lu Xuefeng, and at this moment their eyes were falling fiercely on Nie Chen's body, and there was a hint of cruelty and anger in their expressions.

Nie Chen and Nie Ling'er sat down beside Xia Chunqiu and Dugu Ming, and Xia Chunqiu opened the conversation: "Nie Chen, since Jiang Qingyun was beaten into a waste by Ying Ying last time, you have become the tenth disciple of the academy to advance to the Yuan King, although Ying Kun's absence has affected the strength of our Sword Sect, but as long as you play well, it is still expected to make our branch raise your eyebrows once in this martial arts competition." ”

"Master, don't worry, giggle. At this moment, Nie Ling'er was like a happy bird, presumably the sweetness at dawn also made Ling'er excited, she looked at Nie Chen with charming eyes, and then replied.

"Oh, since that's the case, then the teacher will explain to you the rules of our martial arts competition. Xia Chunqiu said slowly.

Nie Chen and Nie Ling'er looked at Xia Chunqiu together and pricked up their ears.

"This martial arts competition is held once a year, and the competition is divided into two parts: the first part can determine the ranking between the branches, and the rule is that each branch selects ten disciples to enter an independent space, which is called ' Time space', the space is full of opportunities and dangers, you will encounter opponents from other divisions in it, as long as you can defeat each other, you can continue to survive in the space, and at the same time get the Tianpin Yuan Dan in the hands of the other party, and in the end, when there are only ten people left, you can come out of the space, which branch player has the most Yuan Dan in his hand, which branch is the champion of this martial arts competition, and those Yuan Dan will be rewarded to you as trophies. ”

"Oh, I see. Nie Chen thought thoughtfully: "Then what was the result of our Sword Sect branch in the last martial arts competition?"

"Alas...... In the last martial arts competition, there were no disciples of my Sword Sect among the ten remaining people in the space, and the results were naturally at the bottom. Xia Chunqiu shook his head helplessly.

It's not surprising to think about it, before Nie Chen, Dugu Ming, who was the strongest in the Sword Sect Branch, was only the strength of the Eighth Rank of the Cai Yuan General, so it was naturally difficult to hold on to the end in the "time space".

"Tianpin Yuan Dan, this is a good thing. The corners of Nie Chen's mouth lifted an arc.

"But be careful, once you are defeated, all the Yuan Dan you won earlier will be taken away by your opponent. Xia Chunqiu admonished.

"Hmm!"

Nie Chen nodded seriously.

"And the second part is simple, if you can get to the second stage, then your personal ranking is already in the top 10 of the whole hospital. The following competition will determine your personal ranking. There is only one rule, and that is the challenge. Challenge the lower-ranked disciple to the top-ranked disciple, and if you can defeat him, you can take his place and get his ranking. Of course, there may be people who will continue to challenge you, and if you want to keep your position, you will have to fight or else you will throw in the towel and lose your current ranking. Until no one challenges anymore, the top 10 individual rankings of the academy will be settled. ”

Nie Chen listened very carefully, he understood that if he wanted to take the ship of the continental qualifying battle to the Buddha Kingdom, he had to get the top five rankings!

Fight!

At this time, a hand was heavily placed on Nie Chen's shoulder, Nie Chen hurriedly looked back, and found a young man standing behind him, about the same age as himself, with a pair of dark eyes flickering looking at him, and a black samurai uniform looked quite decent.

It's Xu Cheng!

"Hey, bro. Xu Cheng grinned: "After going in for a while, our brothers will join forces, combine swords, and snatch all their Yuan Dan." ”

"After entering the time space, there is not much chance that the two of you will be able to meet. Xia Chunqiu accosted: "You are Xu Cheng of the Daoyin Branch, right?"

"Yes, disciple Xu Cheng has seen Uncle Xia Chunqiu. Xu Cheng immediately replied politely.

"I heard that after you and Nie Chen returned to the academy, you have a very good reputation in the Daoyin Branch, and I am also very happy for Senior Brother Xu Yu. Xia Chunqiu smiled kindly.

"Uncle Shi has won the award, hehe. Xu Cheng scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Then, I'll go over first, and we'll see you in space. Xu Cheng winked at Nie Chen and walked in the direction of the Daoyin Branch.

"Is this the Xu Cheng that Nie Chen's brother often mentions?" Nie Ling'er looked at Nie Chen with a bright smile.
