Seeing that Yuqing no longer had a shadow, the three of them felt that there was no need to stay here, and then returned to Hu Tian's cave mansion in the East Courtyard together.

"Senior brother, where have you been in the past few months, I found out that you were not there after my senior brother and I got out of the customs, thinking that you went to the West Courtyard, and then I went to the West Courtyard to look for you, but I heard Senior Brother Jiangcheng say that you went to the barren forest with them to look for strange fruits before, and then you didn't come out again"

"My brother and I heard about this and planned to go to the barren forest to find you, but then we were stopped by Uncle Yuqing, she said that the barren forest was too dangerous, and we were forbidden to go out of the mountain gate, and then we heard that you and Ding Ming left that day before you disappeared, so we went to him to ask him clearly, but he always didn't come out, so there was today's thing"

Hearing what Qing Yu said, Hu Tian once again felt that Qing Feng and Qing Yu cared for him like family, so Hu Tian did not hide how he found the Red Flame Fruit to Ding Ming and did not save him, and finally narrowly escaped the fire phoenix soul melting to Qing Feng Qing Yu.

When Qingyu heard that Ding Ming saw Hu Tian being chased by Da Hongyan and didn't help, he immediately stood up and said to Hu Tian: "Go, junior brother, I'll help you find him to evaluate the theory."

Qingfeng was not as excited as Qingyu after hearing what happened, although he also wanted to go to Ding Ming for Hu Tian to theorize, but he knew the priority of the matter, so he said: "Senior sister, this matter should not be reckless, Ding Ming's original cultivation is above you, this time it is estimated that the cultivation will be improved again, the main thing for us now is to seize the time to make our cultivation a little higher, and there is still a month before the sect will hold a small competition to go to Nanming Kingdom to elect a place, and it is not too late to solve any grievances at that time."

Hu Tian also felt very reasonable when he heard Qingfeng's words, and said to Qingfeng and Qingyu: "Ding Ming owes me a leg, I will let him pay it back sooner or later."

"By the way, how is your retreat and soul melting, have you successfully melted your soul?"

"Senior brother, success is success, but there is something special about me and my sister's soul melting, how can I tell you" Hearing Hu Tian ask about soul melting, Qingfeng didn't know how to describe it.

"Let's let me say it, to put it simply, my senior brother and I have successfully melted souls, but the first souls of others are human souls, and then they melt auxiliary souls" Saying this, Qingyu paused, looked at Hu Tian and continued: " Of course you are different, and my brother and I are also very strange, I fused the soul of two swords, one green and one red, and the senior brother is even more outrageous, he fused the soul named Taiqing Fu, and this situation occurred because the master gave us two broken tablets and two broken swords, when we wanted to fuse the horcrux given to us by Uncle Yuqing, our soul thoughts entered the tablet and the broken sword uncontrollably, and the result was that the wrong soul was melted by mistake."

Hearing what Qing Yu said, Hu Tian also didn't react a little, and asked, "Are you saying that what you two fused is not a human soul?

"Yes, we were also very confused at the time, and then I was relieved to think that these two things were given to us by the master, after all, he is usually crazy, and then I also asked the elders in the sect, no one can explain this situation, and then the elders looked at us both The eyes changed, maybe they all felt that if it was not a human soul, there would be no soul skills, and the combat ability would be greatly reduced."

"Senior sister, since you can't figure it out, don't think about it, now the three of us are very special, it's a blessing or a curse now, but I believe that everything is fate or fate, for the time being, we shouldn't think too much, we should work hard to improve our cultivation, practice the ability of the soul melted now, and strive to be able to enter the top three in the competition in a month's time, so that we can go to Nanming Kingdom"

"What the junior brother said is, Xiaoyu, I told you everything, what the master left us will not be wrong. ”

Hearing Hu Tian and Qingfeng's words, Qingyu also seemed to want to open, so he said to Qingfeng and Hu Tian: "Okay, I don't want to do this, there is a sentence that the junior brother said is right, let's hurry back to cultivate, although this time the sect Xiaobi will not have too many people to participate, but Ding Ming is a strong opponent." ”

Qingyu thought for a while and said: "It is said that Nanming Kingdom is very prosperous and lively, you can buy more fun when the time comes" After speaking, he ran out of Hu Tian's cave mansion without even saying hello.

Seeing Qingyu leaving, Qingfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "Alas, my junior sister is really old, and her mind is still immature, and I don't know when I will be able to grow up."

"Okay, junior brother, you also have to hurry up and cultivate, I will also go back to the cave mansion, if you have a problem with cultivation, you can go to my cave to find me" After speaking, Qingfeng also stood up and walked out.

After the two left, Hu Tian felt that he should calm down and study his own fighting style, because he knew his weakness in combat, and he only fused a beast soul, but in addition to flying fast, he didn't know anything about other abilities, and he didn't know anything about soul skills or anything.

"Alas, one step at a time"

A month passed in the blink of an eye in Hu Tian's cultivation.

As soon as dawn I heard a bell ringing in the sect, this bell everyone understands that except for important things, it usually does not ring, and everyone remembers that today is the day of the sect Xiaobi, so the people who want to participate in the competition and the people who look at each other get up immediately, tidy up their clothes and go to the middle courtyard square.

Hu Tian and the three of them also got up early this day, preparing outside the cave, after hearing the bell, the three of them flew towards the square of the middle courtyard together, and at the same time, Ding Ming of the south courtyard also flew up from the cave and rushed to the middle courtyard.

When the three of them arrived at the middle courtyard, there were already a lot of people gathered here, and in the middle of the square was a square martial arts platform, between the martial arts platform and the main hall was a high rostrum, at this time the rostrum had made eight people, it was Yuqing, Ding Hang and the other six elders, one of the elders was Elder Wu who was guarding the gate of Tianchi, and the eight people were talking and laughing at this time, and they didn't know what interesting things they were talking about.

"Head Yuqing, this Xiaobi should not have been held in the sect for many years," an old man with gray hair and plain clothes among the elders said to Yuqing with a smile

Hearing the old man's words, Yuqing also replied with a smile: "Yes, Elder Yang, this time the big competition held by the Nanming Kingdom to select the young disciples who entered the Hidden Courtyard is not a bad opportunity for the sect, if the three people in the sect can be selected, I believe that the status of the Tianchi faction will also be improved."

After listening to Yuqing's words, the old man nodded, then turned to look at Ding Hang, and said: "The last three people selected in the sect competition, I think there should be no suspense in the first place Dean Ding, your son is the first."

"The dog is now a first-order consummation of the soul master, even if it is not the first, the top three should be no problem" After saying this, Ding Hang also looked at Yuqing proudly, and said in his heart: "I didn't fight for Kong Tianzhang back then, but my son is stronger than his apprentices"

Yuqing looked at Ding Hang's proud expression, and also smiled at him, and then after seeing that the people below had almost arrived, he stood up and said to the crowd below: "This time, the disciples of the sect can participate freely, and now, those who want to participate in the competition can stand on the competition platform."

After hearing Yuqing's words, no one came to the stage for a while, and after waiting for a while, Ding Ming and Qingfeng glanced at each other and then jumped onto the competition platform, looking at the first two people to go up, the audience began to talk again.

"It seems that this competition, we can only see the excitement," a young male disciple said in frustration after seeing Ding Ming and Qingfeng on stage.

Hearing a disciple say this, another disciple said: "Yes, Ding Ming and Qingfeng are already soul masters, not soul masters like us can match, even if the soul master is estimated to be unable to take two moves in front of the soul master, after all, it is a qualitative leap before and after soul melting, and it cannot be made up by fighting methods and experience."

"I see, Ding Ming and Qingfeng should be the first and second, and there is still some suspense in the third"

"I think it should be Qingyu, after all, she is also a soul master"

"That's not necessarily, it is said that there is a master in the Southern Courtyard in addition to Ding Ming, and Jiang Cheng and Liu Li in the Western Courtyard are also said to be soul masters."

"I see, then there should be a good show to watch this time"

Along with the discussion in the audience, Hu Tian, Qingyu and Jiangcheng Liu Li of the West Courtyard also walked on the competition platform one after another, what Hu Tian didn't expect was that Xu Wu also walked up, it seems that he has also reached the cultivation of the soul master, the only thing Hu Tian didn't know on the stage was a man who looked very ordinary when he went on stage with Xu Wu.

Seeing the strange man, Qingyu said to Hu Tian: "Be careful of this person, his strength should be no worse than Ding Ming."

Hu Tian also glanced at the man a few more times, and said in his heart: "This person feels like an ordinary person, and it is really unimaginable that he can be about the same strength as Ding Ming."

After a few people walked on the stage, Yuqing waited for a while, and when she saw that no one was on stage again, she said: "This Xiaobi should be the eight disciples on the stage, and the eight of you will draw lots in a while, eliminate them one-on-one, and so on, and finally set the top three, and in order to avoid unfairness, the fourth place will be given a chance to challenge."

After Yuqing explained the rules of the competition, a beautiful female cultivator dressed in purple walked up to the competition platform with the box of the lot, and said: "Hello everyone, I am Huating of the West Courtyard, and I will be the speaker of today's competition. ”

Hearing that the nun named Huating said about the lottery, Hu Tian and the eight of them walked to the box together to draw lots.

After everyone drew lots, Hua Ting loudly announced the results of the draw to the people around: the first round of the game was Hu Tian vs. Xu Wu, Wang Lin vs. Ding Ming, Qingfeng vs. Jiang Cheng, Qingyu vs. Liu Li, and now Senior Brother Hu Tian and Senior Brother Xu Wu stay on the stage, and the others temporarily go to the stage to wait for the end of the game. ”

Hearing the results of the draw, Qing Yu was stunned for a moment, and then began to laugh, "The two people in the Southern Courtyard are actually opponents, there is a good show to watch now, and the bad and evil people really have no good reward."

Hearing Qingyu's words, Ding Ming's face was as ugly as eating a dead fly, but there was no way, originally his father Ding Hang was going to Ding Ming and that Wang Lin to win the top three and go to Nanming Kingdom together, which also gave Ding Hang a long face, but now this situation is afraid that Ding Hang's original dream will not be realized.

Wang Lin was looking up at Ding Hang on the rostrum at this time, Ding Hang was also looking at Wang Lin at this time, and then shook his head at him, Wang Lin understood what Shizun meant, that is, to let him admit defeat to ensure that Ding Hang was in the best condition to meet the next round of the game.

Although Wang Lin was unwilling, he had no choice, and in addition, he also knew that even if he fought with Ding Ming seriously, he would not be Ding Ming's opponent, so he nodded at Ding Hang to show that he understood the meaning of the master.
