Every year, the Spirit Sword Sect has three grand events that are the most lively.

One of them is the annual Inner Disciple Ranking Conference, which is of course the most lively time of the year in the Spirit Sword Sect. The second is the Outer Disciple Ranking Conference, although in general it is not as valued by the sect as the Inner Disciple Ranking Conference, but it also has a great influence in the sect. Finally, there is the annual competition of new beginner disciples, although the influence of this competition is far less than the first two competitions, but it is exciting and intense, and it is full of suspense, making it difficult to guess the final result of the competition.

At this time, on the stands in front of the Martial Arts Square, more than a dozen outer sect elders and six or seven inner disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect had already taken their seats on the stage in turn, one of them was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was sharp and restrained, and his demeanor was very steady, and the young man next to him asked in a low voice to an outer sect elder who was over fifty years old and had reached the third level of the Chong Spirit Realm: "Uncle Lin, you have the most contact with the outer disciples, according to your opinion, who is most likely to win the first place in this new entry outer disciple competition?"

"Is this?" Hearing the young man ask, the outer sect elder who was called Uncle Lin pulled his beard and smiled faintly: "Ling Feng, you also know that this new beginner outer disciple competition is the most difficult to predict in all these competitions, but if you look at it according to their talent and current cultivation, Leng Xuemei, Fang Han, Qin Wuyang, and Zhu Tong are the four most likely to become the first place in this competition."

"Oh, is it?" The young man known as Ling Feng nodded lightly, and then said thoughtfully: "Leng Xuemei, nineteen years old, two months to advance to the twelfth level of the Condensing God Realm, such a qualification may be considered a good genius in our Spirit Sword Sect, but if it is compared to the new beginner outer disciples in the Drifting Cloud Valley, the Lone Sword Villa, and even the Yuehua Sect, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Alas......" Hearing this, the elder of the outer sect, known as Uncle Lin, sighed: "With the strength of our Spirit Sword Sect, how can it be compared with these three major sects, even the Cuiyan Sect, which has only been established for about a hundred years, has gradually caught up with and surpassed my Spirit Sword Sect." ”

"Huh...... Cuiyanmen ......" A cold glint flashed in the young man's eyes, "One day, I will make these four major sects all jealous of the strength of my Spirit Sword Sect." ”

……

At this time, next to a stone pillar that was held by two people on the edge of the martial arts square.

Lin Nan, who was dressed in a strong suit and was holding a green steel sword, was leaning there with his eyes closed.

Around him, there were many outer disciples who had come to watch the battle or were preparing to participate in the competition, but although Lin Nan had his eyes closed, he had been listening attentively, hoping to get some useful news from the mouths of these people.

"By the way, have you heard, Lu Qiuming, who is numbered forty-fourth, has been determined to be killed in Xiaoye Mountain, it is said that he is in a different place, and it is very miserable, and now, the only bye is gone. ”

"Damn, it's too unsafe for our Spirit Sword Sect disciples to walk around the rivers and lakes outside, isn't it? It's only been half a year, and thirty of the new outer disciples have already died outside, and most of them were attacked and killed, and only a small part were killed by demon beasts. ”

"Hehe, not only the Spirit Sword Sect, I heard that many of the new outer disciples of Cuiyanmen this year also died outside, and because there are more female disciples in Cuiyanmen, not only did they lose their lives, but many of them even ...... You know. ”

"Alas...... Forget it, let's not talk about this, by the way, who do you think is most likely to win the first place this time, is it Leng Xuemei, or Fang Han, or Qin Wuyang?"

"No, no, no, I don't think these three people can do it, I support Dongfang Yu who is number six, I heard that he has practiced the greedy wolf marksmanship to the seventh style, and he is only one style away from fully comprehending it, so pick up the proficiency of martial arts, I think the three people you said may be inferior to Dongfang Yu." ”

"Wouldn't it? Dongfang Yucai was only concentrating on the eleventh level of cultivation in the Divine Realm, could he have the strength to defeat Leng Xuemei and Fang Han? I think it's too difficult. ”

"Hehe, you don't understand this, do you? Sometimes, cultivation may not be the best standard to measure a person's strength, just like if you still remember, among our new outer disciples this year, there is a person named Tang Bin, when he started, his cultivation had already reached the seventh peak of the Condensing Realm, and two months after the entry, his cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the Condensing Realm, what was the result? ”

"By the way, if you don't say this, I forgot about it, I remember that the guy who killed Tang Bin with one sword is also a new outer disciple this year, right? I don't know how he is now? This person's swordsmanship is really weird, and I still don't know what kind of swordsmanship he used to kill Tang Bin in seconds. ”

"Hehe, he, don't mention it, no matter how weird his swordsmanship is, it won't be long before he will be unlucky. ”

"Oh, what's that?"

"Why, you still don't know? That Tang Bin is the clan brother of Tang Wuxue, who was just promoted to an inner disciple of our Spirit Sword Sect last year, that Tang Wuxue is now a dual cultivator of the virtual realm, I heard that she has been training at the bottom of the mountain recently, and when she returns to the mountain, she learns that her clan brother was killed by an outer disciple, do you think she will let go of that surnamed Lin lightly?"

"Tang Wuxue?" Lin Nan at this time heard this, and his eyes opened in an instant.

Unexpectedly, I inadvertently heard such a news, I originally thought that I had already understood the matter between myself and Tang Bin, but now it seems that there is such a big trouble waiting for me.

Turning into a virtual realm, even if you only make one move for this kind of cultivation, you will never be able to accept it.

"Damn, I hope this Tang Wuxue is killed outside, and he will never return to the Spirit Sword Sect, otherwise with my current strength, I can only avoid her for the time being like hiding from Yasha in the martial arts world. Lin Nan gritted his teeth and thought helplessly, at this time, a clear bell came, and all the outer disciples who were ready to participate in the competition were shocked, and then, I saw that on the stands in front of the martial arts square, nine outer door elders and three inner disciples fell down, and in the hands of the three inner disciples, they were holding three wooden boxes, and several people immediately walked towards everyone slowly.

It wasn't until eight of the Outer Gate Elders walked to the viewing platform next to each martial arts platform that the remaining four walked to the center of the Martial Arts Square, and the Outer Gate Elder first glanced at everyone, and then said loudly: " Today, it is the day of the big competition of the new outer disciples of my Spirit Sword Sect, the rules must have been known to the participants, now, please come up and draw lots before the top one hundred and thirty-five disciples, the number of each of you will be your next opponent, okay, now start the lottery, draw the opponent in turn to the martial arts platform to teach skills, the winner will advance to the next round, the loser is eliminated, my Spirit Sword Sect's new entry outer disciple competition, now officially begins!"
