Chapter Fifty-Four: The Outer Gate
There is a chain of contempt everywhere, and among the Skillful Weapon Sect, the outer disciples are undoubtedly at the end of the chain of contempt.
Here, the outer disciples didn't dare to offend anyone, and even those servants of the inner gate, they didn't dare to show their faces casually. Because God knows if there is something behind those servants that can't be provoked.
The sect stipulates that outer disciples can only stay in the mountain for ten years at most, and if they can't be promoted to the fourth level of the human rank in ten years, then they will be persuaded to retire from the mountain.
Of course, the sect is not a place that is unkind, when you go down the mountain, you can choose to work in the industry of the sect in various places, or work hard yourself. And no matter how you choose, the sect will have some support.
This is also the reason why the Qiaoqi Gate has been inherited for thousands of years, not only has it not declined, but has become stronger and stronger.
Among the outer disciples, there are two types: yellow card and black card.
There are only five groups of yellow card disciples in total, because each of them is an extremely talented person, and when they practice in the outer gate, they have a lot of resources to pour out, so they can basically reach the standard of the inner disciple within five years.
And the black card disciples have twelve groups every year, so they will always maintain the scale of one hundred and twenty groups.
In these groups, there are as many as 30 to 50 people, and as few as in the single digits. And in the few cases, there will be empty groups. Either everyone in the group is promoted to inner disciples, or all the members of the group are wiped out.
Cultivation is a matter of continuous improvement, but it is not absolutely safe.
Although there are not many cases of group annihilation, from the perspective of the history of Qiaoqimen, it is not uncommon.
Xu Yi asked Fang Gang from the Outer Gate General Altar to check some information, and knew that there were now all groups in the outer gate, a total of one hundred and twenty-five groups, and the number of people in each group ranged from a few to dozens of people, and the average was about twenty people per group. With the addition of yellow card disciples, the total number reached more than 2,500.
According to the rules of the outer door competition, the general altar is responsible for drawing lots, and the people who are drawn will compete on the stage, and the loser will lose the qualification for promotion and have no points. And the winner gets a point.
Although there are a large number of people, even if you add byes, you can decide the top 16 in a maximum of eight rounds.
Therefore, the workload of the outer gate is not very large.
The sect advocates concerted efforts and unity, so what everyone is pursuing is not the total score of the group, because the number of people in each group is different, and the one-sided pursuit of the total score is not fair. Therefore, the final score of each group will be evenly distributed among each team member. And this is the final score.
Because of the existence of unspoken rules, the members of Gengwu Group 6 will face the members of Group 6 who have been cultivating for more than a year in the first round. Judging from past experience, the vast majority of people are unable to pass the first round, and it is often the case that the whole army is wiped out from time to time.
This is why the group that participated in the outer door competition for the first time was at the bottom of the inner decision.
The highest cultivation among the outer disciples is the third level of the human rank, even if Zhang Xinxin can get the first place, it will be sixteen points at most, and it will be evenly distributed to everyone's head, not even half a point is enough.
When arranging the candidates for the battle, although it is claimed to be a draw, there is a high probability that the people who fight each other are members of the team with similar strength.
Strong against strong, weak against weak, first day against first day, own against self, yellow card against yellow card, black card against black card.
There are strong and weak players in each group, but under normal circumstances, even if half of them are eliminated in the first round, from the second round, there will be strong ones gradually emerging, so the final average score of each group will definitely be more than half a point.
If you want to lead the whole group with the power of one person, and this group still has 38 people in the group, it is simply an impossible task.

After two days of recuperation, Xu Yi's physical condition finally fully recovered.
During these two days, he only went to the storehouse to buy some new medicinal herbs.
Qu Chen had already asked people to send the Dan Fang of the Rejuvenation Pill, and Xu Yi, who had already thoroughly studied the Zhuangqi Pill and the Realm Breaking Pill, also had a new research goal. However, with Xu Yi's research speed, he couldn't make any tricks in just two days, just pondered it a little.
Now that the two days have arrived, Xu Yi also cleaned up and rushed to the outer gate altar.
When the sky was still dark, there was already a sea of people in front of the main altar of the outer gate, and the water could not be drained.
A gathering of thousands of people huddled together was not an uncommon thing for Xu Yi. However, it was not ordinary people who could stand here, but more than 2,000 cultivators.
The breath of each of them is nothing more than that, but when they come together, it becomes extraordinary.
However, the people here are very indifferent to this, and they are each restrained and divided into different groups.
Xu Yi turned around and immediately saw Shang Wu and the others, who had come here one step ahead of him.
"Senior Brother Xu. ”
Xu Yi nodded slightly, looked around, and said, "What about Senior Sister?"
It's unbelievable that she didn't see Zhang Xinxin here, she was obviously very concerned about it.
"Senior Sister has already entered the main altar first. Shang Wu hurriedly said, "According to the regulations, only the leader of each group is eligible to enter. ”
This is also a natural reason, even if it is only the leader of the group, there are more than 100 people. And if more than 2,000 people here rush in, won't the main altar be turned into a vegetable market?
Xu Yi shook his head and looked around, sensing the powerful aura.
The higher the group, the stronger its aura and the least number of people. Obviously, they should be members of the Xinyou, Renxu, and Guihai years, these outer disciples who have cultivated for nearly ten years, although they have not been promoted to the fourth level of the human rank, most of them are the third or third level peak, and they are just missing a chance, so they will stagnate and cannot cross that pass.
Although they are not yellow card disciples, even if they have cultivated for five years, they may not be able to get much benefit in their hands.
Speaking of the yellow card disciple, Xu Yi's gaze moved to a certain place.
A group of people there gathered alone, they were talking loudly, with a hint of arrogance in their expressions, and they didn't seem to take the full circle of outer disciples in their eyes.
There is no doubt that they must be the so-called proud sons of the sky, the yellow card disciples who were selected and cultivated by the sect.
After another moment, the main gate of the outer gate slowly opened. At this time, the expressions of everyone present suddenly became serious, and even those yellow-card disciples with eyes above the top lowered their heads, revealing respectful expressions.
Because, the two people who came out of the door at this moment were the two deacons Qu Chen and Gong Hong from the outer door.
