A month, as scheduled.

Chen Zong walked out of the small courtyard, and since he refined his internal strength and chose the right martial arts, he spent more than ten days all staying in the small courtyard to cultivate, and even eating was a large amount of dry food prepared.

The sun is shining, one by one, the formal disciples have walked out of the small courtyard, today, is the day of the Nova Competition, almost all the official disciples will be present, and some Zhengong disciples will also come to watch.

The place where the Nova Tournament was held was located in the Sword Martial Arts Arena.

One after another formal disciples walked into the sword martial arts arena from the entrance, and Chen Zong saw it for the first time, and he had a shocking feeling.

The sword martial arts arena is like a circular valley, surrounded by high and high stairs, with a large staircase that can stand and sit, there are ten floors, each floor can accommodate at least hundreds of people loosely, and all the people from the True Sword Academy Palace have come over, and they are not satisfied.

The lower part in the middle is flat, almost 200 meters in diameter, and in the center is a circular ring with a diameter of 100 meters and a height of 2 meters.

"Senior Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for more than ten days. A familiar voice sounded behind him, it was He Tielin.

"Senior Brother He, I've been cultivating lately. Chen Zong responded with a smile.

It's just that He Tielin can't see whether Chen Zong's cultivation has reached the cultivation strength realm, and the leakless body is not only useful in the qi and blood realm, but also in the cultivation strength realm, but if Chen Zong uses his internal strength, there will be aura emitted, which cannot be compared with the qi and blood realm.

"He Tielin, is this the new disciple you are optimistic about?" A person walked next to him, and as he spoke, he glanced at Chen Zong, and then looked disapproving: "I think it's not as good as Jiang Bailiu and Huo Yihong." ”

Chen Zong didn't feel anything, but He Tielin frowned: "Qikang, I think who has nothing to do with you, besides, how do you know that he is not as good as Jiang Bailiu Huo Yihong." ”

"Otherwise, we'll make a bet. The skinny Qikang smiled coldly, full of provocation.

"Why should I bet with you. He Tielin said coldly, the other party was provoking himself, and it was obvious that he was not stimulated.

"He Tielin, I guess you don't dare to bet with me, a coward like you. Qikang opened his mouth to be sarcastic, and Chen Zong immediately saw He Tielin's face change greatly, the iron was blue, and his eyes were even more terrifying, like an angry demon beast.

"Qikang, if you want to gamble, bet big. He Tielin glared at Qikang angrily, and his tone was extremely cold, word by word.

Knowing He Tielin for a short time, Chen Zong had never seen He Tielin show such an expression, and immediately understood that what Qikang said must have a deep meaning, which angered He Tielin and made He Tielin lose his mind in anger.

"Okay, then make a big bet. Qikang's little eyes narrowed, and his essence shone brightly, falling on Chen Zong: "Let's bet on the ranking he and Jiang Bailiu or Huo Yihong will finally achieve in the new star competition, as long as he is higher than either Jiang Bailiu or Huo Yihong, even if I lose, otherwise, I win." ”

"The bet is five hundred swords. Qi Kang sneered.

"Five hundred sword xuns!" He Tielin suddenly came to his senses, the sword xun he got from managing in the Lianyi Hall for a month was only fifty points, five hundred, and it would take ten months, not to mention, everyone could only manage for one month, not for a long time.

The sword medals accumulated by himself in the three years since he entered the True Sword Academy Palace only add up to more than a thousand points, and after deducting the rest required for cultivation, it is only in his early five hundreds.

What can five hundred sword xuns do, it is enough to exchange for a prefecture-level mid-grade martial arts or martial arts.

If you lose, you really become a poor egg.

But the words have been spoken, and it is impossible to redeem them, so they can only agree to it.

"Prepare five hundred sword xuns, don't be unable to take it out when the time comes, and become a laughing stock. Qi Kang sneered and swept past Chen Zong: "Don't even fail the test, then it's too ugly to lose." ”

"Test?" Chen Zong was puzzled.

"Senior Brother Chen, I can only look at you. He Tielin looked at Chen Zong, said in a solemn tone, and then smiled bitterly: "Hey, I was so dizzy that I was provoked and lost my mind." ”

Jiang Bailiu and Huo Yihong had already broken through to the cultivation realm before, and their talents were extraordinary, and after cultivating during this time, their strength was definitely not ordinary, as for Chen Zong, although he couldn't tell whether the other party had reached the cultivation realm, He Tielin felt from the bottom of his heart that it was not as good as Jiang Bailiu or Huo Yihong, and it was very difficult to compare with them.

"Senior Brother He, don't worry, I will do my best. Chen Zong said, in the final analysis, he was implicated, but no matter what, He Tielin was not bad to himself before, and it was okay to help, but he didn't know what the strength of Jiang Bailiu and Huo Yihong was, so he could only do his best.

"Senior Brother Chen, if you can surpass either Jiang Bailiu and Huo Yihong, the five hundred sword medals you get from the bet will be divided into five or five points. He Tielin immediately said, although he didn't think he could win, there was always a hope, not to mention that if Chen Zong could get two hundred and fifty sword medals, he would do his best.

This kind of good thing that can be a win-win situation, Chen Zong naturally will not refuse.

"I thought you were hiding and didn't dare come out. When Yang Jingzhi saw Chen Zong, his face was full of coldness, and his tone was cold.

"You don't have that qualifications yet. Chen Zong replied without hesitation.

"Soon you will know the consequences. Yang Jingzhi meant something.

He Tielin looked at Chen Zong dumbfounded.

"Senior Brother Chen, how could you provoke him?" After Yang Jingzhi left, He Tielin couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that I provoke him, it's that he can't slaughter me when I'm a fat sheep. Chen Zong replied simply.

"You know he's from Liumen. He Tielin said: "Liumen is one of the three major forces among the official disciples, there are many masters, and they act domineeringly, offending them is often miserable, fortunately, the school palace has the rules of the school palace, otherwise I would have to stay away from you." ”

It sounds like a joke, but it is sincere, and it also makes Chen Zong understand He Tielin's temperament better, such a person may be able to make friends, but they must not be close friends, they can only be ordinary friends.

Among the official disciples, there are as many as a dozen forces, but only three are really powerful, namely Liumen, Ningmen, and Momen, the masters of these three major forces, all of whom are one of the Seven Sword Stars.

It is said that these three sects are also related to the disciples of the town palace.

Soon, all the disciples arrived, and the disciples who were going to participate in the Nova Tournament stood under the circular ring, and the disciples who did not participate jumped up the big stairs around them to watch.

"Move the force column. As the elder's words fell, five disciples soon jumped into the ring carrying five pillars, lined up in a row.

The dynamometer column has a circular base with a diameter of half a meter, which is very stable, the whole column is white, the height of two meters and five thighs is thick, and it is intact from the base to the height of one meter five, but it is more inflated around the height of one meter and five, and it looks very tough, from one meter five height to two meters five height, there is a finger-wide transparent in the middle, and a scale is marked next to it.

The scale is from bottom to top, from one to one hundred.

"This is a force measuring column, which is used to test the attack power. The elder pointed to the five peculiar white pillars and said, "I know that some martial artists are good at attacking, some are good at defense, and some are good at dodging, but as a sword martial artist, attack power is the first element that determines strength, and if you don't have enough attack power, how can you become a powerful sword martial artist, how to become a swordsman." ”

It makes sense to say that the sword is originally a representative of the attack, and the attack power is not enough, how to practice the sword.

"There are 100 scales on the dynamometer column, 1 to 30 correspond to one turn of the practice of strength, 31 to 60 correspond to the second turn of the practice of strength, and 61 to 90 correspond to the three turns of the practice of strength. ”

"There are two parts in the Nova Competition, the first link is to hit the force measuring column, those who are less than 15 scales are eliminated, and everyone has three chances, take the maximum. ”

"The test begins. ”

As the elder's voice fell, the disciples who were going to participate in the Nova Tournament were divided into five columns and tested in turn.

"May I ask the elder, can you perform swordsmanship?" the first disciple to be tested was more clever and hurriedly asked.

"Yes. The elder responded.

After receiving a response, they immediately waved the salute swords in their hands to perform swordsmanship.

The sword light flickered, and each tried their best to slash out, slashing the force measurement area of the force measurement column, and with a bang, Chen Zong clearly saw that the force measurement area was under the sword, and it was concave inside, and immediately a red color rushed up from it, rushing into the scale area.

On the scale area, the three scale numbers of thirty, sixty and ninety are bronze, and the font is very clear, ten, twenty, forty, fifty, seventy, eighty, etc. These scales are black and iron, and the font is relatively small, but it is also very clear, as for the nine styles one to one hundred golden yellow, it is more eye-catching.

"How can it be nine, impossible. ”

"Haha, I'm fifteen. ”

Some people are happy and some are unhappy, those who are less than ten still have two chances to shoot, and they shot again, some reached ten, and some did not reach ten, and they were directly eliminated, and they were unspeakably depressed.

The first batch of five people tested, only two passed and three were eliminated, and immediately let the people who have not yet tested correct their mentality, originally they thought that this was not difficult, but now it seems that the difficulty is not small, if they are eliminated because they don't pay enough attention to it, they will definitely be depressed to death.

Chen Zong took advantage of the moment when he rotated a new batch of people to test, his eyes quickly swept around, and his gaze suddenly stopped, because he saw a somewhat familiar figure.

The silver-white sword robe, with an indifferent expression, and his eyes were indifferently sharp.

Silver Sword Star!

Before, Chen Zong didn't understand the meaning of the Silver Sword Star at all, but now he knew that it was one of the Seven Sword Stars of the True Sword Academy, and one of the seven most powerful among the official disciples.

Upward, that is the disciple of the town palace, and only by practicing the four turns of the strength realm can he be qualified to become a disciple of the town palace.

The surroundings of the Silver Sword Star were empty, as if they were an absolute area, and the same scene, Chen Zong also saw it on several other people when he swept over, and it could be judged from this that those people were also one of the Seven Sword Stars.

"It's so strong, I actually hit an eighteen scale. ”

"That's not weak, it's even seventeen scales. ”

There have been several batches of tests so far, and at most they have scored 16 scales, so those who can score 18 and 17 scales have immediately attracted attention.

"Twenty scales, who is that?"

As more and more people test, some stronger ones gradually appeared.

Soon, it was Chen Zong's turn to test.
