Chapter 23 Actual Combat Assessment
"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that Song Tianlong did not follow his own arrangement and ran down from the Spirit Void Platform without authorization, Elder Wentian also frowned slightly, but after all, he also admired Song Tianlong, a young disciple, from the bottom of his heart, so he suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked lightly.
"Elder Wentian, the disciple wants to use his quota in exchange for Dugu Chenxi to enter the Tang Sect, I don't know if it's okay?" Song Tianlong first bowed deeply to Elder Wentian, and then said his request to Elder Wentian with a sincere face.
"Presumptuous!" Song Tianlong's sincerity did not impress Elder Wentian, only to see his face turn cold, he said ruthlessly: "Rules are rules, whether it is you or Dugu Chenxi, you need to follow this rule, I don't care what kind of relationship you have, this matter has to be mentioned again!"
"Elder!" Seeing that Elder Wentian turned around and was about to leave, Song Tianlong couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Elder can you take a step to speak?"
Elder Wentian turned around again, only to see Song Tianlong take out the letter of introduction that Old Man Hu had written to him from his arms, hand it over to Elder Wentian, and then whispered again: "Elder is borrowing a step to read the letter?"
On the cover of the letter of introduction, those familiar fonts, Elder Wentian recognized it at a glance, it was the handwriting of Hu Guangsong, the right protector of the Tang Sect who had been away for a long time. Elder Wentian glanced at Song Tianlong deeply, and finally followed Song Tianlong to the side.
"What does it mean to show me this letter of introduction written by Hu Protector?" Elder Wentian asked, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were also fixed on Song Tianlong.
"Elder, the disciple has no intention of breaking the rules, the disciple thinks so. Song Tianlong hurriedly said, "Dugu Chenxi and I are brothers and sisters, Brother Dugu has a rough life, and the disciple really doesn't want to see him lose." So I wanted to give the place that Grandpa Hu gave me to my Dugu brothers. And I am willing to give up the opportunity to enter the Tang Gate directly, and replace Dugu Chenxi to participate in the third round of actual combat assessment. ”
Song Tianlong's words made Elder Wentian frown deeply, and he was silent for a long time. After pondering for a long time, Elder Wentian slowly spoke, and this time, Elder Wentian looked at Song Tianlong's eyes, but there was also a slight indescribable taste.
"You mean, you want to use the quota given to you by Hu Protector, plus the quota for your own direct promotion in exchange for Dugu Chenxi to join my Tang Sect. And you will replace Dugu Chenxi and participate in the next third round of actual combat assessment?"
That's exactly what the disciple meant. Song Tianlong clasped his fists with both hands.
"Do you know that the rookie disciples who have entered the third round, their cultivation realms are at least in the early stage of the Spirit Void, and many of them have already reached the middle stage of the Spirit Void realm, do you think that with your cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, you can pass the assessment?" Elder Wentian frowned, and confirmed again, "Have you thought clearly? Once you fail in the third round of assessment, even with this letter of introduction, I will not agree to you entering the Tang Sect." ”
"Disciple understands!" Song Tianlong said with a calm face, "Disciple will do his best, I don't think I will embarrass you, Elder!"
"Hmph, what are I embarrassed about the problem you found for yourself?" Elder Wentian said coldly, which could be regarded as acquiescing to Song Tianlong's request.
By the time Elder Wentian returned to the crowd with Song Tianlong again, Elder Wentian had already regained his indifferent expression again, and he whispered to Dugu Chenxi: "You go to the Lingxu Platform to take Song Tianlong's place and wait, holding this token, you will not be affected by the coercion of the Lingxu Platform." ”
After saying that, Elder Wentian waved his sleeves, and Dugu Chenxi flew up involuntarily and landed far away on the Lingxu Platform on the high place.
"Song Tianlong, you should be listed. Elder Wentian said to Song Tianlong again.
"Yes, Elder. Song Tianlong clenched his fists slightly at Elder Wentian and said respectfully. Then he entered the ranks of participating in the third round of assessment.
In the distance, on the Spiritual Void Stage.
"Huh, why did you come here, what about Song Tianlong, what did he do down?" Seeing that Dugu Chenxi was sent to the Lingxu platform, Lan Baiwang was the first to shout.
"I don't know, you have to ask yourself to ask him to go!" Dugu Chenxi said coldly, this blue and white hope is really annoying.
"Come to think of it, it was Song Tianlong who gave up his quota to this Dugu Chenxi brother, and went to participate in the third round of assessment by himself, right?" Humpty Dumpty Wang Gang had a more cheerful personality, and he also said his guess at this time.
"Oh?" Listening to Wang Gang's speculation, the other people on the platform were also surprised, but they were also a little surprised.
"Didn't you say that Elder Wentian had never been unreasonable? this time, he even made an exception for the two of them for Song Tianlong. It was the young girl named Tu Ziqing who spoke, and I saw her wearing a purple dress, fluttering and moving, and her big eyes looked particularly clean.
Everyone stood on the platform and waited for the senior brothers and sisters of the Tang Sect to arrange for them and the others, and they had nothing to do. This girl named Tu Ziqing is obviously also lively and cheerful, innocent and innocent girlish in heart, which is the first thing she and Wang Gang brought up to chat.
At this time, Tu Ziqing was also the first to express his doubts about Wang Gang's speculation.
"No, you can't let that guy Song Tianlong do whatever he wants!" Lan Baiwang said with a resolute face, "I'll go down and tell Elder Wentian that I will also participate in the third round of assessment." Song Tianlong, this guy, I want to eliminate him in the third round of assessment with my own hands, and make him regret making this decision!"
After Lan Baiwang finished speaking, he didn't care what the other people did, so he ran down the ladder to the sky and chased in the direction of Song Tianlong and the others.
"Song Tianlong......" Dugu Chen looked at the backs of Song Tianlong and the others in the distance, and muttered to himself, "You guy......"
......
In the distance, Song Tianlong and the others went around and around, and finally came to the martial arts competition platform that Elder Wentian said.
This is a wide circular ring with a diameter of up to dozens of zhang, and there is a tall stone pillar standing in the four directions of the ring, and on the stone pillar, according to the different directions, there are carved the four sacred beasts of the white tiger, the green dragon, the vermilion bird and the Xuanwu respectively.
"Listen, the way of cultivating martial arts, pay attention to actual combat, so don't complain about your cultivation realm. Everyone will draw lots to face each other, and the winner will advance to the next round of battles, and the final 25 winners will be qualified to enter my Tang Gate at the end. Elder Wentian said in a loud voice, "Everyone, can you understand?"
"Understood!" all the young disciples said in unison.
"Elder, the disciple has questions. Elder Wentian turned his head slightly, but saw a young man in white clothes come out and said, "We have one hundred and one people here, and one of them will have a bye in the lottery duel, I don't know how to count it?"
"Alas~ How did I forget this stubble......" Elder Wentian suddenly slapped his forehead, and everyone couldn't help but wonder, thinking that this elder, who was famous for not knowing how to be flexible, was really facing such a situation for the first time.
"Elder Wentian~" Just as Elder Wentian fell into a deep groan of embarrassment, a crisp shout came from afar. Everyone looked up, and it was the blue and white wang who ran down from the spiritual void platform and chased everyone here.
I saw Lan Baiwang hurriedly run to Elder Wentian and said to Elder Wentian: "Disciple Lan Baiwang wants to face off with Song Tianlong by name, and the loser will withdraw from this recruitment assessment. ”
Lan Bai saw Song Tianlong standing in the crowd at a glance, and said coldly and provocatively: "Song Tianlong, do you dare to fight?"
"I don't know where it is. "Song Tianlong was really angered by what Lan Baiwang did, why did this guy bite himself to death?
In fact, Song Tianlong didn't know that with Lan Baiwang's talent, he could reach the early stage of spiritual void at the age of ten, and the high-level affinity of the four elephant attributes could be regarded as extremely top among the disciples of this year's recruitment ceremony, but Song Tianlong and Dugu Chenxi stole the limelight that should have belonged to Lan Baiwang, how could this ten-year-old little guy stand it?
"Ask Elder Heaven. Song Tianlong came out of the ranks, and in the face of Lan Baiwang's repeated provocations, Song Tianlong couldn't respond anymore. He arched his hand towards Elder Wentian and said, "Elder, the suggestion made by Brother Lan Baiwang, the disciple thinks that the elder might as well consider it. The disciple is willing to have a fair duel with the Lan Baiwang brothers and strive for a place to enter the Tang Sect, so that the other newcomer disciples will just be a full hundred, and they can compete for the twenty-five places as usual. ”
Song Tianlong's words made Elder Wentian ponder for a while, and finally, Elder Wentian also nodded and said, "That's it, since the matter has come to this, the old man will respect your own choice." Song Tianlong, Lan Baiwang, you and the two of you will face off alone, and I will give you a place to enter the Tang Gate. The rest of the disciples will go to the martial arts platform to draw lots!"
"Song Tianlong, just wait to be beaten down by me!" Lan Bai saw that he had succeeded, and raised his head at Song Tianlong, who was a whole head taller than him, with a gloating face.
"I'll wait!" Song Tianlong also no longer gave this little brother a good face, and responded expressionlessly.
"Everyone has drawn lots and the first round of matchups is played. The disciples whose names I read are invited to come to the stage, Wang Zihao, Lin Huaichong, and start the duel!" Elder Wentian arranged for everyone's lottery and continued to preside over the assessment.
Then, Elder Wentian looked at Song Tianlong with deep meaning, and his voice was calm: "I will arrange for the two of you to play last, Song Tianlong, you have to watch and watch the other people's games carefully." ”
"Yes!" the disciple thanked Elder Wentian. Song Tianlong's expression was clear, and he bowed deeply towards Elder Wentian.
"Hmph!" Facing Elder Wentian taking care of Song Tianlong like this, Lan Baiwang said with a disdainful expression, "Just look at it, take a good look, and only after reading it will you know how big the gap between the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building and the spiritual void period is!"
How big is the gap between the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building and the spiritual void period? Needless to say, Song Tianlong himself naturally knew it.
Not only did he say that in Lanzhou City, Song Tianlong had already fought against Chen Long in the early stage of Lingxu, but he also faced the group of male lions that even Luo Yi couldn't beat at the lion hunting conference later.
Even a master of the Tai Clan who had already broken through the Spiritual Void Period and reached the Void Immortal Period, how could Song Tianlong not know how big the gap between himself and these opponents was?
"However, no matter how strong the opponent is, no matter how many means you have in the Spiritual Void Period, it will be destined to be a stepping stone for me to reach the top!" Song Tianlong said to himself with both hands clenched into fists and a firm gaze.
On the competition platform, the two teenagers who had drawn lots to face off were already entangled with each other. The young man named Wang Zihao clenched his fist with one hand, emitting a fiery red light, and split his palm with the other, emitting an aqua blue light. The fists and palms are staggered, dazzling and colorful. It turned out to be a comprehension of the two attributes of water and fire in the Five Elements Qi!
And another young man named Lin Huaichong was sturdy, and his whole body exuded a deep earthy yellow light, which looked heavy. Song Tianlong could see that this sturdy young man comprehended a single earth attribute, but his affinity for the earth attribute qi was higher than that of the young man named Wang Zihao, so this battle was also quite comparable, and the outcome was unpredictable.
In the end, Wang Zihao, who took the initiative to attack, couldn't break through Lin Huaichong, a sturdy young man who was good at defense, and Lin Huaichong aimed at a flaw that he accidentally exposed, and hit the ribs in his waist with a punch, and was immediately knocked out and fell to the ground.
In this duel, Lin Huai won!
"The next group, Wu Shanshan, Shao Jiaqi, start the duel!"
The battle between women, purely in terms of spectacle, is much better than the battle of men. The girls of martial arts cultivators, because they refine the qi of heaven and earth every day, are actually quite good-looking.
I saw that the two women were extremely light and flexible, and the moves were staggered between the back and forth, which made everyone present applaud.
