The rough metal particles, undulating with the erratic breathing, rubbed against the skin of the neck, and the slightest pain was painful.

Feeling the slight cold stinging pain between his shoulders and neck, Su Liqing's heart was at a loss.

How, exactly?

With a backhand sword, he obviously forced the man back-

But how could it be?!

Quietly -

The man's knife was on his neck!!

Or did the man not take him seriously...... Even the scabbard was disdained to be removed......

If......

If the man gets serious......

Isn't it...... Isn't it......

Su Liqing's face was pale, his fingertips trembled, and he could barely hold the long sword in his hand.

……

"Concession. ”

Wu Qin said lightly, put away his knife and clenched his fists, and turned back to his seat.

In the center of the empty hall, only Su Liqing was left, still standing in a daze, unable to return to his senses.

……

"In the first game, Uchin won. ”

The continuous lights of the Linhai Hall reflected the dazed and lonely figure in the field, and there was no shadow. The displacement that diffused around him for a moment disappeared without a trace after the celebrant took a step forward and announced the result of the game.

In the field, the celebrant deacon had a solemn face and a solemn expression, and the results of the battle, word by word, were conveyed very clearly throughout the entire hall. However, no one noticed that this seemingly strict and serious master of ceremonies had quietly separated a trace of the corner of his eye and landed on the cyan figure beside him.

He was a little depressed because the ritual he was in charge of had gone wrong.

The main purpose of the apprenticeship is not only to select disciples, but also to be a ritual.

Etiquette must have its ritual.

Normally, the two would have to wait until the celebrant announced the results of the match before they could return to their respective positions.

However, as soon as the two of them engaged, the victory and defeat were clear, and the thoughts of everyone in the hall were still at the moment when the two of them were wrong, and Wuqin had already said "concede" and left the field. So neat and so natural, for a while, no one really realized that there was anything wrong.

It wasn't until Su Liqing stayed on the field in a daze, and the loneliness and coldness of that moment woke up the deacon, who was still staying on the sidelines and had not yet stepped forward, that he suddenly realized that he had made such a big mistake on such an important occasion and within the scope of his duties.

Originally, it was nothing.

As long as Su Liqing followed behind Uchin, and then turned around and sat down, everyone opened and closed their eyes, and the gangsters passed.

But this young man, this young man, he didn't know which corner to turn, so he stood in the center of the hall and couldn't get down.

The celebrant deacon looked at the one in the field, and then at the other one who had already left, and shook his head in depression: Alas, the young people nowadays are really becoming more and more unconscious!

Turning his gaze, accidentally brought to his side, the celebrant sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but have the urge to cry: Do you bring such a decrepit one?! It's just a job to preside over the ceremony, and in the past, other people did it, and it was all the wife Pingping, hello, I'm good, everyone's good. Why did it take your turn to go wrong in a hurry......? But what's the matter, even these questioning disciples are so difficult?!

Deacon Ceremonies can't—there are several more competitions ahead!

Hard-headed, he stepped forward and announced the results of the game loudly, seemingly solemnly, but what he was concerned about was actually the behavior of the young man on the side.

Holding a handful of sweat, the celebrant continued to preside over the ceremony, and at the same time secretly begged in his heart: Please! My voice is so high!

I have to say that the voice of the celebrant is not only loud, but also very high, not only that, but this person even has a well-thought-out position. It is estimated that at least eighty or ninety percent of the voices were deliberately sent into the ears of the man in Tsing Yi on the field in a particularly suitable direction.

It seems like it's only a moment, and it seems like a long time has passed.

It was the Uchin scabbard that left, and the cold touch disappeared suddenly, and the man in Tsing Yi, who had not been able to bring him back to his senses, finally slowly woke up in the voice deliberately brought in by the celebrant deacon.

Looking around blankly, the situation in front of him seemed strange and familiar, as if separated by a barrier, full of unreal feelings. It wasn't until the words that came into his ears were gradually digested by his confused mind that the man in Tsing Yi turned around in despair, and returned to his seat with his long sword.

Kneeling down and sitting down, the man in Tsing Yi forgot that he was still carrying a sword in his hand, and the sword body slammed on the ground, slipping off from his hand with sticky wet sweat, and fell to the ground with a "clang".

The crisp sound spread melodiously in the hall, and it was extremely clear.

The hall was silent.

The celebrant pressed the green tendons on his forehead hard, and resisted the urge to turn around and scold his mother.

Su Liqing woke up suddenly, picked up the long sword with trembling fingers, and pointed it at the scabbard, but he couldn't insert the long sword in his hand several times.

It's not that I don't know that I'm inferior to Uchin......

It's not that he doesn't know that he is not his opponent......

But......

So...... Extremely......

So...... Worlds apart......

The long sword was finally put into the sheath, Su Liqing's body drooped down, his hips fell weakly on his ankles, and his upper body was slightly slumped, and he had no upright posture before the battle.

What to do?

What to do!

At this moment, Su Liqing felt a deep powerlessness.

It's just the first ......

It's just that......

That's it for the first one!

His gaze swept over everyone, the fists on both sides of his body slowly clenched, Su Liqing took a deep breath and raised his head.

Three more!

……

Good!

Elder Wu secretly praised in his heart.

For Su Liqing, this battle pierced the luck he had always held, and the weakness of that moment revealed his seemingly meticulous calculations and his confidenceless inside.

For the celebrant deacon, today's apprenticeship will definitely become a stain on his career, and this competition is undoubtedly the most serious failure in this ceremony that has been clouded since the beginning.

Unlike Su Liqing and Deacon Si Li, for the elders and deacons on the sidelines who have different ideas for the purpose of selecting disciples, these are not the focus of their attention.

Su Liqing is in the game, and he may not be able to see anything.

But these great elders, who were sitting in the main seat, with the widest field of vision and the most vicious vision, how could they miss any of these details?

In the eyes of Elder Wuda, Su Liqing's sword move was a complete joke. It's not impossible for a sword to take a false position, but I don't understand the other party's response at all, and I don't have the ability to control the virtual and real at all.

Uchin's response, on the other hand, was completely infallible.

Before holding the knife to defend, he didn't waste a trace of extra strength at all.

And stepping back to avoid it is not to deal with Su Liqing's sword.

On the contrary, it was precisely because he kept a clear head and found an opportunity to win in the battle that Uchin retreated, avoided it, returned the knife, and established the victory in one fell swoop.

The easiest way to win is precisely the hardest.

The teenagers are the enthusiastic youth.

How many teenagers will choose not to retreat.

Even so, Su Liqing may not be able to pass this trick under Uchin.

But it is precisely this retreat that makes everyone's evaluation of him a higher level.

In the same battle, between the tough overwhelm and the winning opportunity of judging the situation, Uchin chose the latter.

With such a thought, even Elder Wu couldn't help but admire.

This recommendation can be said to be very suitable for his temperament.

In the prime of life, Elder Wu Da is not very senior among all the great elders. However, the ranking is so high, and it depends on: judging the situation, advancing and retreating appropriately, these eight words.

Although some of them belong to the same clan and are the reason of their own family, it is not without hesitation for Elder Wu to make a desperate bet on this young man surnamed Wu at the cost of giving up other options.

On the side, Elder Li stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Although it is a bit tricky...... However, the artistic conception of this knife is not bad. ”

Hearing this, Elder Wu nodded his head.

Grand Elder Li was known in the palace for being good at swordsmanship.

But as the saying goes, one law works, then all laws work.

Even in the Dao of the Dao, his comment was very pertinent in the eyes of Elder Wuda.

"I heard that ......," Senior Elder Li turned his head with a smile, "At the last apprenticeship ceremony, there was a disciple who was quite eye-catching. Brother Wu Xian was obviously present, but he let Elder Jin get involved. The foolish brother was originally very puzzled, but at this time, it seems that it should not be on this son?"

Elder Wu smiled and didn't say anything.

The disciple of Uchin, he may know more than all the other elders present, but this understanding comes more from paraphrasing than from actual cognition, so he will not make a conclusion before reading the apprenticeship ceremony.

For the Great Elders, choosing an apprentice is a matter that needs to be treated with caution.

Because it is not only the continuation of one's mantle, but also the survival of one's own power.

It's not just the individual's qualifications that need to be considered, but many other factors that need to be considered. And these are not seen by a simple ritual.

Therefore, the newcomer area that seems to be unpaid attention to has actually been watched by countless pairs of eyes.

Countless pieces of information were summarized, redacted, and finally put in front of the Great Elders.

And the final decision is to choose an apprentice to worship the teacher.

Whether a disciple is worth including or not needs to be carefully observed.

Until the last moment, none of the elders would have made a light assertion.
