Chapter Seventy-Two: The Rising Dark Horse

For the next half a month, Lin Lan was busy participating in the sect competition. As more and more people were eliminated, her competition schedule became more and more intensive, from one game every few days at the beginning, to almost one game a day later. After eight rounds of elimination, she finally entered the top ten of the sect.

This result is almost no one's expectation. Not only in the first two competitions, she showed extremely clever combat effectiveness and judgment, and even defeated her fellow senior sisters who cultivated to two realms higher than her, but in the later competitions, she also maintained quite strong control over the game. Basically, as soon as her formation chart comes out, the victory or defeat on the stage is already clear, and there are almost no people who can break through the formation and defeat her.

Of course, it's not that no one has tried to defeat her before she unfolds the formation diagram, it is said that the monks at other peaks have also specialized in this method, but it is a pity that Lin Lan is extremely experienced in fighting, as long as she can't be killed with a stick, she can always find a chance to release the formation diagram. And with her ability, if she wants to defeat her at once, it will be difficult to do it unless she is besieged by many people, or if she cultivates to reach the peak of the foundation building period or above. Such conditions are too harsh to be achieved in the strict rules of the sect competition.

So, with the big killer of the formation map, she played triumphantly all the way and advanced head-on to the top eight of the sect, and now the only remaining suspense is where she will go and whether she can reach the top.

And the formation diagram she "restored" has also become a hot topic in the mouths of the disciples of the Ethereal Immortal Sect. After she used the formation diagram to establish miraculous feats one after another, someone with good deeds had already found out the ins and outs of the formation diagram, so it is not surprising that she once again became the focus of people's attention, and even other sects had already known the news. And he paid more and more attention to her. These days, there are constantly some strange monks around to visit, as well as people who have been rescued by her under Donglinzi also rushed to meet, the crowd of people coming and going makes her annoyed, so she has to hide in the Feitian Peak under the pretext of retreat and recuperation, arming and fighting, which put an end to the visit of most people and gets back a purity.

But in this way, she became neighbors with Zhuang Keyin and Yang Wen, and they became more and more familiar with each other when they didn't see each other in the morning and at night. Zhuang Keyin has been since she learned that Lin Lan could make a formation diagram. He was completely speechless. What kind of monster is this?! Not only is her cultivation like divine help, but she is also able to make something as rare as a formation diagram, others are afraid that there will not be enough time for cultivation, and she doesn't dare to be distracted by practicing wholeheartedly, how can she make so many strange things while maintaining such a fast cultivation speed?!

One thing is for sure, though. She would never want to compete with Lin Lan again. Not to mention anything else, she is no longer Lin Lan's opponent just by this formation diagram. Not to mention her understanding of Lin Lan. The other party will definitely not be as simple as such a killer feature. If the two sides are evenly matched, or the gap is slightly smaller, it can also play a role in learning from each other and promoting each other, but if the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, it is one-sided abuse, and she is not interested in becoming a masochist.

Yang Wen looked at her with half admiration and half gratification, and said, "Senior Sister Lin is really extraordinary. It can be seen that Senior Brother Shen is indeed prescient. It's a pity that he is in retreat now, otherwise he would definitely be very happy if he knew that Senior Sister Daolin would have such an achievement! ”

He can be regarded as Lin Lan's guide to the upper realm, and now Lin Lan is shining in the sect. He is like an old man who has seen the outstanding performance of his juniors, and he has a feeling of "parent", so he is naturally full of emotion.

Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Yang Wen's admiration for Shen Mutian has reached a peak level, and even her little thing can be associated with Shen Mutian. Even if Shen Mutian recommended herself to enter the sect at the beginning, but the things that followed were all done by herself bit by bit, what does her own hard work have to do with Shen Mutian, who has been in retreat for more than ten years?!

However, she didn't say anything, she just said with a smile: "When I was able to get Senior Brother Shen's support and enter the sect, my little sister has always been grateful. It's a pity that the little sister's cultivation is low, and Senior Brother Shen has already embarked on the bright road of promotion to the Jindan period, even if I want to repay it, I don't have a chance! ”

Yang Wen looked at her with a smile and said, "Senior Sister Lin, don't be presumptuous. With your qualifications, maybe you will be able to catch up with Senior Brother Shen soon, you should have more confidence in yourself. ”

Lin Lan couldn't help but be stunned, looking at him in some surprise, he didn't expect him to say such a thing. How could he have so much faith in himself? Catch up with Shen Mutian? How can it be?!

He should know best how difficult it is for a monk to advance, and he is not playing a game, saying that he can level up.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the competition again. From today onwards, there are only six levels left in the sect competition and twenty-four pairs of disciples. In the martial arts arena, the rings at each level have been reduced to four, and the number of disciples watching the battle in the audience is much higher than in the previous rounds. It can be said that the disciples who have entered this round of competition are all outstanding top figures on various peaks, the best among the many disciples of the sect, and the competition between them is an excellent opportunity for other disciples not to be missed.

Among these twenty-four competitions, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the one that Lin Lan participated in. As the biggest dark horse in this sect competition, the strength she showed was comparable to that of many senior brothers and sisters who were called "geniuses" before, and some people even put her on a par with Shen Mutian. Although Lin Lan's cultivation is still far behind Shen Mutianlai, if you look at the age of the two, there is not much difference. At Lin Lan's age, Shen Mutian had only reached a realm of five layers, and he was once considered to be the first day of the Ethereal Immortal Sect, and no one could compare to it. Now this record has been challenged by Lin Lan.

Not to mention what the future development will be, but at least from the current stage, Lin Lan is indeed not lost to Shen Mutian!

The formation she used was so efficient and powerful that many people had forgotten that when she was independently facing Donglinzi, an evil cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage, she actually didn't have the assistance of such a thing as a formation diagram. They were confused by appearances and external objects, but they couldn't see Lin Lan's true strength inside. Foreign objects are foreign objects after all, there is always a day when they are used up or cannot be used, unless they really have enough ability, how can they remain invincible?!

Early in the morning, Yang Wen and Zhuang Keyin came to the cave where Lin Lan temporarily lived and knocked on her door. Lin Lan didn't cultivate last night, but slept beautifully, keeping his spirit and spirit in an extremely full state. Her opponent today is Hong Ying, who is recognized as the No. 1 Zhengrong Peak among the disciples of the sect in the middle stage of foundation building, and has been regarded as the favorite to win the championship of this sect competition before, and somehow she actually drew two of them as opponents in the ninth round, that is to say, one of the two of them will inevitably fail and will not be able to continue to advance. This competition has touched the hearts of many people, and it should be the most interesting pair among all the people who participated in the competition today.

Lin Lan felt that he had been in the limelight enough in this sect competition, and it was time to avoid the edge. Besides, her goal of entering the top 10 has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to compete, basically she is not a person who likes to fight with others, and this kind of ranking does not mean anything to her, so she does not plan to continue to maintain it.

It would be a good thing for her to draw a group with Hong Ying, as long as she quietly lost to Hong Ying in the competition, and she didn't think there was anything difficult about it. Hong Ying's foundation is deeper than hers, if the real talent and real learning are also above her, this is an indisputable fact, losing to Hong Ying is an ending that she can accept.

Walking out of the cave and seeing Yang Wen and Zhuang Keyin, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "Senior Brother Yang, Senior Sister Zhuang, why are you here?" ”

Yang Wen said with a smile: "Isn't today the day of the competition? We're coming to the venue with you. ”

Is this already seeing yourself as one of them? Lin Lan couldn't help but smile slightly, looked at them and said, "I see, thank you Senior Brother Yang and Senior Sister Zhuang for taking care of you, but you have been waiting for a long time." Let's go. ”

After speaking, he didn't close the cave, and left with the two of them.

Anyway, this cave is just a temporary residence, and there are no personal things in it. Besides, no one dares to do some tricks like chickens and dogs on Feitian Peak.

Zhuang Keyin always put on a haughty expression, although she walked beside Yang Wen and Lin Lan, she didn't say a word, watching the two of them chatting happily, she had a weird feeling in her heart. She has been sought after and raised since she was a child, and she looked down on people like Lin Lan very much, but she was unconsciously impressed by her, and subconsciously admitted her existence. However, she was used to being high, but she couldn't wipe her face to reconcile with Lin Lan, so looking at the two people who were talking and laughing, there was always a sullen feeling in her heart, and she wanted to vent but didn't know how to vent.

Lin Lan had already understood her eldest lady's temper, but she didn't care about the change in her expression, but her eldest lady's temper had flares up again. However, Yang Wen more or less understood her mood, and couldn't help but be secretly funny, but he was very irresponsible and didn't want to take on the responsibility of mediation, so he just hid aside to watch the show, and from time to time he added fuel to the fire, as if the fire would not burn enough.
