In a blink of an eye, seven days have passed since Xu Xian returned to Daomen, and the time has also come to mid-May.

The decision on the number of places in the Lake Center has been officially put on the agenda by the Daomen, and it has been decided to conduct the selection in early July.

Interestingly, the way Daomen decides the quota is very rough, and there is no imaginary "sect competition", and there is no strict rules for the top eight and top four, only the word "challenge".

At the beginning, the Dao Sect designated five disciples, and if all the disciples were interested in participating in the meeting in the heart of the lake, they could directly challenge these five people.

Of course, in the presence of the elders of the Daomen. If you win, you can replace the other party, and if you don't win, you can change someone to continue the challenge, but you must not repeat the challenge.

Since there is still more than a month left, it is enough for all the True Yuan Realm disciples to challenge for a round, but there is no need to worry about being too late.

The initial list of five disciples is consistent with Lian Yuan's guess, they are: Chen Ming, Xu Wenjing, Liang Shuzhi, Lian Yuan, and Zhang Youcheng.

This list is in order, that is, Chen Ming is ranked first, and Zhang Youcheng is ranked last.

The challenger can challenge any opponent, and once the challenge is successful, he will directly occupy the position, while the others will be postponed, and Zhang Youcheng, who is at the bottom, will be squeezed out of the list.

This rule is to ensure that the best five players will still play when there is not enough time in the end.

Otherwise, if someone picks the first place at the last moment, wouldn't it be very wronged because the first person in the first place didn't have time to challenge?

Zhang Youcheng, who is at the bottom, is also qualified to challenge forward, if he doesn't want to be squeezed out for no reason, he must work hard to fight for the ranking, which is also an incentive for him.

This rule did not cause much controversy, and the rules of the Daomen have changed occasionally over the years, but they are all fair and just, and what is really controversial is the issue of order.

No one is dissatisfied with Chen Ming in the first place in the Daowu Academy, but Liang Shuzhi, Lian Yuan, and Xu Wenjing in Wanfa Hall are actually Xu Wenjing in the first place, which can't help but cause people to reverie.

Someone even asked Liang Shuzhi if he had the idea of taking back the first place in Wanfa Hall, but Liang Shuzhi just responded lightly, "Senior sister's Taoism is wonderful, I might as well do it".

The list had been announced three days earlier, and the five of them had taken on a number of challenges, and the outcome was almost the same, with few disciples able to survive a round under these five people.

On the one hand, the elders of the Dao Sect are not blind, and the five people selected are indeed outstanding in combat power, on the other hand, it is also due to the fact that the disciples who are really close to these five people are still waiting and watching and are not in a hurry to make a move.

After all, everyone knows that the challenged will undoubtedly constantly expose their means, and the later the challenge, the better the chance of winning, and there is only one chance.

......

Xu Xian is also one of the people who is not in a hurry to make a move, since he challenged Chen Ming privately last time, he has roughly figured out the details of the other party.

"The explosive power of the True Yuan is at least five times that of mine, and the total amount is not clear, so it will not be bad if you think about it...... He is worthy of being a monk who is close to the apex of the True Yuan Realm. ”

According to Xu Xian's judgment, Chen Ming has opened up all the acupoints in his body, and has completed the spiralization, and is in the process of finally recovering the true yuan of the acupoints.

As long as he can complete the final compression and retraction, he will be able to condense the golden pill in his body and become a real golden pill in the true sense.

It is not that the older a monk is, the more likely he is to be promoted, on the contrary, most monks who step into the realm of Jindan are between the ages of one hundred and one hundred and eighty, and Chen Ming has just reached the age of ninety.

According to Xu Xian's rank, Chen Ming undoubtedly belongs to the second-order hero level, and it is the strongest level among them, probably not weaker than the Void Crane Dao people.

In the second order of the Daomen, if you want to find people who are stronger than him, they are basically one hundred and fifty years old, and they no longer belong to the new generation, so Chen Ming is indeed the first person of the new generation.

"The Taoist warrior is the best defense in itself...... My Heavenly Thunder doesn't have a bonus against human cultivators, and the master level is not enough. ”

The battle with Chen Ming has proved this, when the enemy is engrossed and carefully perceives his true yuan fluctuations, it is possible to judge the landing point of the heavenly thunder, not to mention that with Chen Ming's defensive power, it may not be okay to resist hard.

Xu Xian also tried to forcibly grab the "Blood Cage", but the effect was equally average, and the frontal destructive power of the Dao Martial Artist was amazing, and it could be broken in a short time.

However, Xu Xian must always maintain a high speed and use the "Blood Escape Method" uninterruptedly, otherwise once he is caught by Chen Ming, it will be a situation where he was blown away by a punch before, and he will not even have time to use the Blood Stand-in Technique.

In that discussion, except for "nightfall", Xu Xian can be said to have exhausted all means, but the result was unsatisfactory.

To put it bluntly, the Dao system built by Xu Xian is convenient for him to use in the wild, not to fight head-on in the ring.

"I'm still too weak now, if I deal with it properly, even Zhang Youcheng has a 30% chance of beating me...... If you don't consider returning from the war. ”

After some research and introspection, Xu Xian believes that he lacks two main aspects.

The first is naturally the realm, his Zhou Tiangong has just been promoted to level 10, and he can make up for the previous missed classes, and his cultivation is still far behind the old monks.

The realm determines the thickness and explosiveness of the true element, and the same Dao technique is weaker than the opponent, and if you want to win, you can only rely on more subtle Dao methods.

The second is the means of attacking fortifications, Xu Xian has always targeted the demon clan before, and his strength is not strong, and the thunder guidance method that he has improved to the master level is more than enough.

Now that the enemy has been replaced by the human elite, Xu Xian undoubtedly needs more powerful means.

Where to find this method? Although the Blood Dao Technique is easy to use, it is not very suitable for use in the ring, and Xu Xian has a better way.

......

Pure heart.

"So, don't you really think about apprenticeship?" Lian Yuan was sitting opposite Xu Xian, and after hearing Xu Xian's request, he couldn't help but knock on the table.

She also couldn't figure it out, why didn't she just refuse to go when she had already designed all the steps for this guy?

Of course, Lian Kite knew that Xu Xian had challenged Chen Ming in private, and he also knew the result of the fight between the two, Xu Xian was not too down, and he could still fight back and forth.

With his strength, as long as he is willing to worship under the name of a real person, he can spend this month refining one or two Dao techniques...... Not to mention defeating Chen Ming, it is not difficult to defeat Zhang Youcheng after all.

Why didn't this man listen to persuasion?

Looking at Xu Xian's calm expression, Lian Yuan was inexplicably annoyed, and told her as much as she could, she was not in a hurry for the emperor and the eunuch, but ...... It's really infuriating!

The flying dragon rides the face, it's good for you A to go over, why do you have to change homes!

Xu Xian still took a sip of tea slowly, coughed lightly and said, "I promised my mentor before that I would not worship others again......"

"You mean the Taoist priest you saw when you were a child? I've checked, and no True Yuan Realm monk entered the Fifth Realm back then, why don't you tell me what he looks like?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lian Kite had already interrupted him, looking at him with an expression of "you continue to make up".

"Is that so?" Xu Xian's face was full of surprise, "Then how did I get so angry overnight, it doesn't make sense." ”

"Who knows, maybe you can practice while sleeping, and you can break through the realm in your dreams. Lian Kite turned on the Great Onmyoji mode and said with a sneer.

Xu Xian suddenly slapped the table and said, "That's right, that's it." I once saw an old Taoist priest in a dream......"

"If you don't want to apprentice, you can say it clearly, don't make such a bad excuse!"

"That's what you said. Xu Xian spread his hands helplessly, and then said with a smile, "I heard that Qin Zhenren is your biological mother, senior sister......

Lian Kite was furious by his laughter, and said vigilantly: "What do you want to say?"

"Although I don't plan to apprentice, Senior Sister can help me ask for a few thunder methods!"

Lian Kite couldn't help but gasp, she finally understood what this product meant: I don't want to apprentice, and I don't want to find a Taoist door to exchange it with a Taoist seal, isn't this just trying to take the Taoist technique for nothing?

In the face of Lian Kite's expression that he was about to stare out, Xu Xian still maintained a polite smile.

Why should you pay for prostitution? This is Xu Xian's simple concept of commodities.
