Chapter 255: Stay Steady
If you can't get into the top three, you are junior students.
Entered the top three, that is, medium students.
The first place is a senior student.
This standard does not seem to be very strict.
You must know that the Night Hong, who was the first in the Hidden Dragon List of the Great Xia Empire last year, won the first place strongly, and it was only the treatment of a middle student, and he did not receive the treatment of a senior student.
This time, if Mu Yan becomes the first, he will be a senior student?
Inevitably, Mu Yan was treated too favorably.
But there is still a certain difference between Mu Yan's situation and Night Rainbow.
Night Hung won the first place by defeating Long Yuefei five years ago and becoming the first.
And now Mu Yan wants to become the first, he must defeat the current Long Yuefei!
It's far more difficult than Nightfly!
In addition, although Night Hung was the first on the Hidden Dragon List, his age was more than thirty-five years old at the time.
And now Mu Yan is not more than twenty years old!
Half the age of Nightfly!
is also the first place on the Hidden Dragon List of the Great Xia Empire, and it is obvious that if Mu Yan wins the first place, the gold content will naturally far exceed that of the Night Rainbow.
It is also completely reasonable to get the status of a senior student.
"Boy, I hope you are stronger, don't let my old man Sun down!"
Senior Sun looked at Mu Yan from afar and said.
And at the same time.
Boom, boom, boom!
On the central square of Yincheng, the dozens of rings changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they were integrated into eight rings by the powerful power of the saint-level powerhouse.
The Hidden Dragon List uses four seats, and the Young Phoenix List uses four seats.
"The qualifying round of the Hidden Dragon List and the Young Phoenix List starts now. Eight big rings, at the same time. β
"When the top 32 are decided, the ring will be consolidated into one. β
"The top thirty-two Tianjiao on the Hidden Dragon List and the Young Phoenix List will face off one by one in that final ring!"
In the void, the voice of a saint-level powerhouse came.
"The qualifying round of the two rankings has finally begun!"
"Don't say more, let's watch the qualifying!"
"I would like to see Mu Yan's contempt for Tian Tianhai Academy and Purple Mountain Academy. What kind of performance will you use to fight back strongly!"
Everyone no longer talked too much about the recruitment lists of the two colleges, but set their eyes on the eight rings.
The top 512 qualifying tournament begins, and even the top eight seeds need to fight at this time.
"In the first battle, Long Yuefei faced off against Liu Tian. β
"In the second battle, Nanyunbi fought against Xu Congfei!"
"The third battle, Mo Daoxuan ......"
The saint-level powerhouse quickly announced eight battles.
Among them, the top four seeded players on the hidden dragon list, Long Yuefei, Nan Yunbi, Mo Daoxuan, and Zhan Ting, all appeared.
The four Tianjiao led by Yunni on the young phoenix list also made a move.
"I throw in the towel!"
"I throw in the towel!"
These opponents of the powerful seed Tianjiao basically admit defeat.
"Zhan Ting, others obey you, but I don't accept it, come on, see how you beat me!" There are also Tianjiao who are arrogant and arrogant, and they are not afraid of seed players at all.
"Don't be ashamed, the mantis arm is a car!"
Zhan Ting snorted coldly and made a strong shot.
Bang!
Just one move, his opponent directly vomited blood and flew upside down, his tendons were broken, and he was defeated.
"Next Battle......
As soon as a battle is over, the saint-level powerhouse immediately announces the start of the next battle.
Siew Yat-ran came in at ninth place, behind the eight-seeded players. His opponent was a Tianjiao who had just entered the realm of the Five Heavens.
"Xiao Yiran, you seem to be the strongest person in the knockout round, but unfortunately, everyone knows that you are the first in the tournament and do not live up to your name. Today, I will defeat you strongly, so that everyone can see that my strength is definitely not half a point inferior to you Xiao Yiran!" Xiao Yiran's opponent came to the stage and shouted coldly.
"Isn't it worthy of the name, let's see the real chapter in your hands!" Xiao Yiran said with his hands behind his back.
"Kill!"
At the beginning of the battle, this opponent was extremely fast, and in an instant, he reached Xiao Yiran's side and slashed out with one palm.
"Speed-type Tianjiao?"
"It's a pity that your speed is more than twice as bad as Mu Yan!"
"Defeat me!"
Xiao Yiran didn't use the sword at all, just a punch, and the opponent was immediately knocked back.
Two more punches were thrown, and the opponent vomited blood and retreated, falling in the ring.
"Xiao Yiran wins, next game!"
The incomparably flat voice of the saint-level powerhouse came.
Many Tianjiao, who despised Xiao Yiran, gasped at this time, they understood at this time that Xiao Yiran was also the strongest person who had entered the top 50 in the last hidden dragon list, and the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and now Xiao Yiran, even if he was injured, even if he was not worthy of his name, he was far from being able to compete with ordinary Tianjiao.
Mu Yan ranked more than 30 to play.
The four major rings of the Hidden Dragon List competed at the same time, but it was only seven or eight rounds of work, and it was Mu Yan's turn to fight.
"In the next battle, Mu Yan will face off against Ning Kang!"
The saint-level powerhouse announced.
"My opponent is Mu Yan!"
Ning Kang was a young Tianjiao in his thirties, and when he heard that his opponent was actually Mu Yan, his face couldn't help but change suddenly.
He was an ordinary Tianjiao, who reluctantly joined the Purple Mountain Academy, and could be regarded as a Holy Land Tianjiao.
And just ......
Mu Yan was excluded from the recruitment list by the two colleges!
If Ning Kang was Mu Yan, he felt that he would inevitably be extremely angry, and he was holding back a lot of strength in his heart, and he wanted to make a strong move in the qualifying match of the Hidden Dragon List, showing his strong strength, to slap the faces of the two academies.
And it just so happened that Ning Kang, the Tianjiao of the Purple Mountain Academy, became Mu Yan's opponent at this time.
"I'm going to face off against Mu Yan, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to admit defeat!"
Ning Kang's face turned bitter.
He thought of Yu Fengling.
Yu Fengling faced off against Mu Yan, but he didn't even have a chance to admit defeat, he was defeated instantly, was seriously injured, and fell into a coma.
In Ning Kang's opinion, his fate will not be much better than Yu Fengling.
His face stiffened, his heart worried to the extreme, and he barely walked to the center of the ring.
"Let's go!" the saint-level powerhouse announced.
Ning Kang's body trembled violently, and he almost closed his eyes in fright. He was afraid that in the next second, he would be brutally beaten by Mu Yan.
And yetβ
"Let's shoot!"
An indifferent voice came out of Mu Yan's mouth.
At this time, Mu Yan was motionless at all!
It's just that the clouds are light and the wind is standing there.
"What?" Ning Kang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened his eyes.
He saw that Mu Yan's face was extremely calm, and there was not the slightest hint of "anger" at all.
"Mu Yan, shouldn't he be extremely angry at this time and immediately kill me in seconds?" Ning Kang's heart was full of endless doubts.
"Don't make a move?"
Seeing that Ning Kang didn't make a move, Mu Yan frowned.
"If you don't make a move, you're welcome, I'm going to strike first!" he said lightly.
"No...... That one...... I throw in the towel!"
It was only at this time that Ning Kang reacted and hurriedly admitted defeat.
"Thank you!"
Mu Yan thanked this Ning Kang, turned around and walked out of the ring.
Ning Kang was stunned, he never expected that Mu Yan didn't have the kind of anger in his heart at this time, and he was eager to show his posture. From beginning to end, he was calm as usual, and his mood was stable to the extreme. Even Ning Kang took the initiative to admit defeat, and Mu Yan actually had to thank him.
"Until now, can he still maintain a stable state of mind?"
"The vice presidents of the two colleges are right, his temperament is not too bad, but ...... Too strong!"
In Ning Kang's mind, he came to such a conclusion.
Mu Yan's calmness not only surprised Ning Kang, but also surprised everyone who was paying attention to Mu Yan.
No one thought that Mu Yan at this time would be able to remain calm.
"This kid's heart is too strong!"
"If it were me, I would have been out of balance by now!"
Many people have said.
At this time, Lin Zhengtang, Xu Xiaolin, and even Xiao Yiran, Lin Ningyu, Mu Xinning and others, all secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mu Yan's performance at this time.
Mu Yan's state of mind was calm, and it could be seen that he was not affected by the recruitment list of the two academies at all.
"It's nothing if you don't join the two colleges. β
"With Mu Yan's strength and talent, even if he is a casual cultivator, he can still enter the supreme realm of martial arts in the future!"
"True geniuses are all about freedom. β
"Even if you join a certain academy, you won't be bound by the academy!"
Lin Zhengtang said in a low voice.
At this time, the eight seeded players are on the high platform.
"Hmph, at a young age, the city is deep enough!"
"I don't believe that you can still be calm now, all this is just pretending!"
"It's just that I want to slap the two colleges in the face!"
"I want to tell everyone that your heart is not bad!"
Long Yuefei stared at Mu Yan, snorted coldly, and said secretly in his heart.
In his opinion, Mu Yan forcibly pretended to be calm and light-hearted, pretending to be extremely strong-hearted. In order to slap the vice presidents of the two colleges in the face. Let everyone see if his heart is so bad.
"It's a pity ......"
"The more you slap your face, the less likely it is for the two colleges to recruit you!"
"It is destined to be a waste person in the future, no powerful academy, any powerful force, will be able to recruit you!" Long Yuefei said secretly in his heart.
Qualifying continues.
A total of 512 people played in the first round of the Hidden Dragon List, with 256 games.
The four major rings are held at the same time, with an average of 64 matches per ring.
Half a day is almost complete.
After the first battle, Mu Yan and the others watched the next battle while resting.
On the side of the young phoenix list, about halfway through the first round, Lin Ningyu finally appeared.
She battled her opponent for hundreds of rounds and barely managed to defeat him.
Lin Ningyu's talent is extremely strong, but after all, the cultivation realm is slightly lower, and it is somewhat difficult to face the opponent of the Five Heavens.
She is now in the top two hundred and fifty-six, and it will be a little more difficult to keep going.
In the evening, the first round of the competition finally ended.
The top 256 of the hidden dragon list and the top 256 of the phoenix list have been produced.
Among the top 256, there are very few dark horses, and Lin Ningyu is one.
In fact, in this year's Qianlong List Qualifying Competition, Mu Yan is the biggest dark horse, but Mu Yan has shown great strength in the Tianlong List Screening Contest and the Qianlong List Screening Competition. Everyone has high expectations for him, and now Mu Yan has only entered the top two hundred and fifty-six, which is nothing in the eyes of everyone.
When night fell, Mu Yan and the others returned to the Southeast Inn.
Rest for one night, and on the second day, continue the competition between the top 256 and the top 128.
Early in the morning.
Squeak!
With a soft sound, Mu Yan walked out of the room.
It's just that after one night, Mu Yan at this time seems to be different from before.
The temperament is more aggressive.
In his eyes, there is a hidden intent to fight.
"Huh, Mu Yan, you seem to ...... Another breakthrough!"
After Mu Yan left the room, he saw Lin Zhengtang, just glanced at Mu Yan, and Lin Zhengtang noticed Mu Yan's strangeness.
"Fluke. β
Mu Yan smiled.
"Now my cultivation is the fifth layer of the Star Soul Five Heavens. It's a little worse than those holy land Tianjiao, but it's not so much that they can't be crushed. Mu Yan said.
"Fifth layer of the Five Heavens?" Lin Zhengtang gasped.
"Less than twenty years old, entering the fifth layer of the Five Heavens, your cultivation speed is among the best in the entire martial arts history of the Great Xia Empire. However, Mu Yan, you have to pay attention to the fact that cultivation can be improved quickly, but for martial artists, the most important thing is the improvement of the martial arts realm. β
"In the history of martial arts, there are quite a few heaven-defying geniuses who are higher than you in cultivation. β
"But these anti-heaven geniuses don't pay attention to the improvement of the martial arts realm, especially after reaching the Sixth Heaven, they don't pay attention to the mysteries, they don't comprehend the attribute laws, and in the end, they stop at the Nine Heavens. β
"It's hard to get to the holy level. β
Lin Zhengtang said.
"Of course, I'm not worried about you. You have now comprehended the Ice Ling Mysteries, and you are even more powerful than those geniuses who have cultivated quickly in history. I'm just reminding you a little now, don't pay too much attention to the level of cultivation, and ignore the comprehension of realms, mysteries, and laws. β
Lin Zhengtang said.
"Thank you uncle for the reminder. β
Mu Yan sincerely thanked.
What Lin Zhengtang didn't know was that Mu Yan had been in retreat for ten days before.
His current comprehension of the ten major attributes is no longer inferior to some Eightfold Heaven and Ninefold Heavenly Star Soul Martial Artists!
After breakfast, everyone went to Yincheng Central Square again.
The second round of the competition did not give people too many surprises.
Mu Yan and the eight seeded players, and even Xiao Yiran, Zhou Tianxing and other Tianjiao, all passed the second round and entered the top 128 strongly. One more win and you'll be in the top 100.
In two more rounds, it will enter the top 32!
It's justβ
Lin Ningyu finally lost to his opponent in today's battle and stopped at the top 256 of the Young Phoenix List.
"Although it did not enter the top 128, with the performance of Ningyu, it should finally be able to enter the top 200. β
"It's the first time to participate in the qualifying competition of the Young Phoenix List, and with such a performance, it's already extremely strong!"
Lin Zhengtang and Xu Xiaolin were very happy.
Even though it is the first day of the Young Phoenix List, the first time he participated in the Qualifying Tournament of the Young Phoenix List ten years ago, he only ranked 237th in the end.
The performance is slightly inferior to the current Lin Ningyu.
In the second round of qualifying, each ring was just 32 matches. The morning was over.
In the afternoon, the third round of the competition will start directly.
This time, Mu Yan encountered a Tianjiao with quite good strength, although the other party did not admit defeat, but he was self-aware, and after fifty moves of duel with Mu Yan, he automatically admitted defeat.
Zhou Tianxing and others all defeated their opponents strongly and entered the top 64.
But Xiao Yiran encountered a very strong opponent.
The two fought fiercely for more than 500 moves.
In the end, Xiao Yiran narrowly won with one move.
After "Hu ......" won, Xiao Yiran let out a long breath, and his face was extremely solemn.
"Mu Yan, if it weren't for the hundreds of moves you had fought against me before, I would have had the experience of fighting against different types of powerhouses. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult for me to defeat this opponent!"
"Reaching the round of 64 is almost my limit. If you want to win again and enter the top 32, it's difficult!"
Xiao Yiran shook his head and said.
"It's man-made!"
Mu Yan opened his mouth and said.
Whether it is Xiao Yiran or Mu Yan, they have already done their best.
Now whether Xiao Yiran can enter the top 32 or the top 16 depends not only on Xiao Yiran's performance, but also on whether God can give Xiao Yiran the luck to go against the sky.
