Chapter 63: Fighting for the Edge
On the second day of the sect competition, compared with the lackluster first day, the importance of the second day of the competition has undoubtedly increased a lot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the case of the Lushan Sword Sect, the meaning of the existence of ordinary disciples is more about decorating the façade and cheap labor and even cannon fodder, and their status is like a servant of the landlord's family, the more servants, whether it is strong or not, at least in the eyes of outsiders, this is a manifestation of strength. Although the core disciples have excellent qualifications and amazing potential, they are limited in number after all, and can only be used as the highest-end combat power. Then the rest of the elite disciples, to put it bluntly, this is where the foundation of a sect lies.
can be promoted to core disciples to enhance core strength. Although he will be demoted to an ordinary disciple, the so-called waste utilization will not do the slightest harm to the sect.
Therefore, any sect, this kind of seemingly embarrassing crowd whose status is not up to or below is what the high-level is most concerned about. Of course, attention is not the same as attention, compared to the core disciples' almost one-on-one careful teaching, the elite disciples are more just the general direction of teaching, giving a certain amount of resource inclination, but not excessive. And this attitude, at the same time, will lead to more brutal and fierce competition among elite disciples, and eventually form a virtuous circle.
Of course, before the competition between elite disciples, the ten disciples who stood out from the ordinary disciples yesterday will be today's hors d'oeuvres.
These ten disciples will be qualified to challenge any elite disciple, they don't need to win, as long as they can survive a hundred moves, they can be promoted and elite disciples, these ten places are like a handout from the top of the sect, not necessarily the real purpose of discovering talents, but more just to give these ordinary disciples a thought, and at the same time cultivate their loyalty, that's all.
Therefore, in these ten competitions, there will be traces of black-box operations to a large extent, and sure enough, this time is no exception, none of the ten ordinary disciples won, but four of them supported a hundred moves in the breathless attack of the elite disciples, and they were ranked among the elite disciples.
Among the four lucky winners, Zhan Bai was surprised to find a familiar figure, which was Huang Shu.
"It's that guy." Zhan Bai thought thoughtfully, he seemed to have heard someone talk about it before, this Huang Shu seems to be quite close to Yan Xiu'er recently, if this matter is true, then it is not surprising that he has been promoted to an elite disciple. Come to think of it, the person who arranged these ten competitions would definitely sell Yan Xiu'er a favor, after all, he was the only disciple of the sect.
Finally, with the end of these ten farces, the competition of elite disciples with real swords and guns officially began.
Unlike the day before, the level of competition between elite disciples has almost improved qualitatively, and being able to become an elite disciple has made great progress in terms of their own cultivation, talent, and actual combat experience. What's more, the strength of these elite disciples is comparable, and there is not much gap, so accidents occur frequently.
In battle, mentality, experience, and even a sudden flash of inspiration can make or break the final outcome. In order to avoid a major accident, there are two deacons standing on each ring, and once there is danger, the fight will be terminated in time.
But even so, there were still disciples who were injured from time to time, and in a short time, the ring was full of thrilling bloodstains. I have to say that the temptation of the core disciples is too great, and the vast majority of the elite disciples almost put the future in this competition, and they don't miss the friendship of the same sect at all.
"This is the atmosphere of this world." Zhan Bai sat in his position and said with emotion.
Unlike the world in the previous life, factors such as technology, law, culture and even public opinion have greatly suppressed human nature, but they have also made the world peaceful. But this place is different, the belief in power makes the law here useless, and the natural law of the jungle is unlimited.
"Yan Xiu'er against Ran Liao."
Suddenly, when the competition of elite disciples was coming to an end, in a ring that had just finished the competition, the deacon opened his mouth to say who would be in the next competition, but it caused an uproar.
"Wrong, wrong, how is it possible, this is the ring of elite disciples?" Some disciples exclaimed in surprise, causing a riot among the elite disciples.
In the ring of elite disciples, the figure of a core disciple actually appeared, how could the sect make such an arrangement.
However, as for the doubts of the disciples below, the high-level sect leaders sitting in the south obviously had no interest in explaining, as for the two people involved......
After Ran Liao heard the news, his whole person fell into a sluggish state, and it was not until a disciple around him pushed him that he came to his senses, but he still looked at the deacon who had said the candidate for this battle with a suspicious face.
On the other hand, Yan Xiu'er was extremely calm, stood up from the area of the core disciple, didn't say anything, raised his legs and walked to the ring.
When Yan Xiu'er walked by, Zhan Bai obviously heard a whisper, "This is the favor of returning you to the Xuan Array." ”
Looking at Yan Xiu'er's distant figure, Zhan Bai was really powerless to complain, how long has it been, this little guy's city has fallen a lot deeper, and he even knows how to use his position to use his power for personal gain. Obviously, he also heard about what happened yesterday, but unfortunately, this kind of repayment of favors is bound to not be recognized by Zhanbai.
"Nosy." Zhan Bai pursed his lips, not receiving this favor at all, but in his opinion, the reason why the sect agreed to arrange this competition was definitely due to the credit of the old man Gongsun.
After all, Yan Xiu'er's cultivation days are short and he lacks actual combat experience, if he is put into the competition of core disciples from the beginning, it will be tantamount to pulling out the seedlings to help him grow, and if he doesn't get it right, it will also discourage his enthusiasm. And placing it in the ring of elite disciples is undoubtedly the best choice.
From this aspect, it can be seen that Gongsun Zhan attaches great importance to this disciple.
"Senior Brother Yan, no matter whether this competition is deliberately arranged by your communiqué for personal vendetta, I will not show mercy." This Ran Liao was not stupid, and soon realized that this competition was definitely specially arranged by someone. However, he apparently only guessed the result correctly, but did not grasp the reason.
At the beginning, when Yan Xiu'er first arrived at the Lushan Sword Sect, the two had a fight, and they were even seriously injured by the other party. Therefore, in Ran Liao's view, Yan Xiu'er's move, whose status is no longer what it used to be, is undoubtedly revenge for that time.
Being remembered by a core disciple is obviously very bad news for Ran Liao, but he has some single-minded character, since the feud has been concluded and it is irretrievable, it is better to go all the way to the dark.
"Don't think that if you become a disciple of worship, you will be great. No matter how powerful Master is, he can't hide the fact that Lao Tzu has walked more than you eat salt. Ran Liao scolded in his heart, in fact, he didn't particularly care about this competition, after all, no matter how talented Yan Xiu'er was, he had only been cultivating for a few months, and he had been in the Lushan Sword Sect for eight years, and his cultivation had reached the five-grade primordial realm, and the gap in cultivation would be absolute.
"Make a move, I don't have time to waste on you, Sun Xun is still waiting behind." No one thought that Yan Xiu'er, who had been silent, shocked everyone arrogantly as soon as she opened her mouth.
"This kid is crazy, how long has he been cultivating, and he has only cultivated a few grades, so he dares to say such arrogant words." Rao is sect leader Cao Zaichuan couldn't help but speak, and as far as he could see, it was Gongsun Zhan beside him.
"The old man talks about juvenile madness, young people, there should be this kind of madness, haha." Who knows, Gongsun Zhan not only did not mean to blame, but also undisguised his appreciation in his tone.
"But arrogance also needs capital. Xiu'er's talent naturally has nothing to say, but after all, his Xuan Xiu days are short, and he has no chance of winning against Ran Liao. Cao Zaichuan is still full of melancholy.
"Heh, it is precisely because of the short time of Xuan Xiu that I agree to this competition. As for the final result, who says you will lose? Gongsun Zhan suddenly showed an unfathomable expression, "Okay, I know you have doubts, look at it, you'll see." ”
……
In the ring, Ran Liao had already pulled out the long sword behind his back, and under the stimulation of Xuan Li, the long sword was suddenly covered with a layer of earthy yellow halo. On the other hand, Yan Xiu'er also pulled out the long sword on his waist, but it was no longer the Zhanque Sword, and the grade was almost the same as that in Ran Liao's hand.
"Senior Brother Yan, I'm offended." After Ran Liao finished speaking, he shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand led out the starting style of Chaoying's sword technique, and at the same time, his feet were moving rapidly, and he was already stabbing towards Yan Xiu'er.
In the face of Ran Liao's first attack, Yan Xiu'er was extraordinarily calm, dragging the long sword and slowly swiping at his side and lifting it flat.
Seeing that the two were about to fight each other, but at this moment, Ran Liao's wrist turned suddenly, and the sword move immediately changed greatly, and the wind and drizzle suddenly turned into a violent storm, and the sword style violently sprinkled dozens of sword lights, completely enveloping Yan Xiu'er.
"Falling Colorful!" Some of the elite disciples exclaimed, and some even scolded.
This Ran Liao is really despicable, in the face of his junior brother who started many years later than himself, he even resorted to such a dark method, first using the starting style of the Chaoying Sword Technique to confuse people, but halfway through, he suddenly changed his moves, and he used the strongest move of the more clever Ying Sword Technique.
Where is this a competitive competition, it is basically the rhythm of putting people to death.
Not only the elite disciples, but even many core disciples were shocked at this time. Ran Liao's response is undoubtedly wonderful, you need to know that fighting against people is originally life and death, as long as you can get the final victory, using some less glorious means, it will not hurt at all. On the contrary, it was Yan Xiu'er, and many people began to look forward to how he would respond.
"Buzz !!"
With a high-pitched sword roar, I saw that Yan Xiu'er's flat sword suddenly trembled violently, and it was out of control.
The trembling blade seemed to turn into a snake letter, spitting erratically, but continuously, without a wide range of agitation, just a very simple straight stab, but the void in front of him twisted out a thigh-thick whirlpool. The sword shadows in the whirlpool were heavy and unstoppable, easily shattering the layers of sword light.
Ping Pong !!!
The sound of the tooth-sore Jin Ge collision is endless. The sword light and sword shadow are intertwined, which makes people dazzled, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.
Ran Liao passed by and glided a few feet away before he turned his back to stop, and as for Yan Xiu'er, he didn't move half an inch under his feet from beginning to end.
"Who has the upper hand?"
"I don't know, it should be equal, right?"
"This, I didn't see it clearly, just now I just felt that my eyes were sparkling, and the two passed by."
Under the ring, many disciples whispered, paying close attention to the ring that suddenly became eeriely silent, and as for the other four fighting rings, they also stopped unconsciously.
The entire Lushan Sword Sect has nearly 1,000 people, all of whom have focused their attention on Yan Xiu'er and Ran Liao.
