Chapter 330: On the eve of the competition
After returning to the dormitory, Shen Tao didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly began to continue cultivating......
The time in cultivation passes very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.
Early morning of the fifth day.
The eyes of the early morning sprinkled through the mist on the entire cultivation place.
Because the cultivation place is built on the top of the mountain, the cultivation place in the early morning is shrouded in a layer of mist, which looks like a fairyland.
Today is the beginning of the outer door competition!
This is also a big day for the outer gate!
"Hoo ......"
At seven o'clock in the morning, Shen Tao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and spit out a mouthful of turbid air at the same time.
"What a pity, just a little bit!"
Shen Tao, who opened his eyes, couldn't help but shake his head.
In the past few days of retreat, Shen Tao has always wanted to break through to the middle of the innate stage, in order to have a higher strength when he participates in the year-end competition of the outer gate.
However, in the past few days, Shen Tao obviously felt that he was about to break through to the middle congenital stage, but he had been a little bit behind!
It was this difference that made Shen Tao still unable to break through at this time.
"That's it, this is also something that can't be forced, so why take it so seriously at the end of the year?" Shen Tao smiled bitterly.
At this time, Shen Tao suddenly realized that in the past few days, he wanted to break through to the middle congenital stage too much, and he was too eager to achieve success.
This led to himself, but instead of calming down, he failed to break through.
Shen Tao suddenly understood that cultivating this kind of thing can't be forced, and the more you force it, the more you can't do it!
As for the year-end competition, Shen Tao realized at this time that he really didn't have to care too much about the ranking, just work hard.
How could he disturb his cultivation state of mind for the sake of a mere year-end competition? Isn't this a sacrifice of the basics?
When Shen Tao thought of this, he couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Tao turned over and got out of bed and began to wash and clean up.
By the time everything was ready, it was half past seven.
After cleaning up Shen Tao, Shen Tao walked out of the dormitory directly and walked towards the martial arts arena, preparing to participate in the year-end competition at the outer gate.
Along the way, Shen Tao found that it was particularly lively, and the members who were in retreat and cultivation in the dormitory on weekdays basically walked out of the dormitory today.
The road was full of groups of outer gate members.
The members were talking excitedly as they headed towards the outer gate arena.
After all, today is the year-end competition of the outer gate, and it is a grand day for the outer gate of the cultivation land.
Therefore, these groups of outsiders are either going to participate in the big competition, or they are rushing to watch the game and cheer for their friends or admirers.
"Brother Tao!"
Shen Tao had just walked out of the dormitory not far when he heard someone calling him.
Shen Tao turned his head and saw that it was a burly man from the same class as him.
Behind Kuizi, there is also a group of new members.
"Brother Tao, Brother Tao!"
Kuizi and a group of people called Shen Tao with a smile on their faces, and walked quickly in front of Shen Tao.
"What are you doing...... Go to the martial arts arena to watch the year-end competition? Shen Tao glanced at the new members and asked at the same time.
Most of the new members of this session are here, and of course there are a few new members who are not there, such as Ouyang Zhenghong, who is no longer in this group.
Of course, Shen Tao wouldn't care so much.
In Shen Tao's eyes, Ouyang Zhenghong is really like an ant, and Shen Tao is not willing to waste time on him.
"Yes, yes, let's go watch the year-end competition, of course, the most important thing is to cheer for Brother Tao." Kuiko grinned.
The new members behind Kuizi also nodded one after another.
"Uh......" Shen Tao couldn't help but smile awkwardly when he heard this.
"Brother Tao, your participation in the year-end competition not only represents yourself, but also represents our new members, Brother Tao, you have to come on!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Tao, you have to fight to get into the top fifteen, then we will earn face for our new members too much!!"
A group of new members behind Kuizi spoke excitedly, and it could be seen that they were very energetic in this year-end competition.
"I'll do my best, and don't expect too much from me." Shen Tao spread his hands and said.
"Brother Tao, you are too modest, in my opinion, Brother Tao, you participate in the competition and win the top fifteen, it is completely easy to catch." Kuizi said with a smile.
"Uh...... You think too highly of me. ”
Shen Tao smiled bitterly: "I'm just in the early stage of congenital, okay, let's go to the martial arts arena together." ”
With that, Shen Tao took this group of new members and headed towards the martial arts arena at the outer gate.
When Shen Tao and the others arrived at the outer gate martial arts arena.
The entire outer gate martial arts arena has gathered a lot of people.
It can be said that most of the members of the entire outer gate have gathered here.
From this perspective, it can also be seen how important the year-end ratio is.
After Shen Tao came to the martial arts arena, he took Kuizi and a group of new members to the audience, found a corner, and then sat down together.
At this time, there is still almost an hour before the official start of Dabi, but 90% of the members of the outer gate have already arrived.
The entire audience was talking very vigorously at this time.
"It's been a long time since I've heard the news of Senior Brother Ren Hai, who is number one on the land list, he should appear today, right?"
"That's for sure, such an important big competition, Senior Brother Ren Hai will definitely sign up for it."
"Not necessarily, you forgot? In the last two inner door promotion matches, such an important game, Senior Brother Ren Hai missed it twice, otherwise, with Senior Brother Ren's strength, he would have been an inner disciple by now, where would he still be in the outer gate? ”
"That's just as well."
Ren Hai, who is talking about it in everyone's mouth, is the one who ranks first in the list of the outer gates, and he is also the man of the year in the outer gates.
Although everyone can't see this Ren Hai in the cultivation place most of the time, his fame is still terrifying outside!
"Ren Hai?"
After Shen Tao heard everyone's discussion, Shen Tao couldn't help muttering.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Tao turned his head to look at the burly man beside him: "Kuizi, who is Ren Hai?" ”
"Brother Tao, since you came to the cultivation land, you have been in retreat, you may not know that the person who ranks first in the land list is none other than Senior Brother Ren Hai in your mouth." The burly man explained.
"I see." Shen Tao nodded.
Shen Tao has been cultivating on weekdays, and he really knows very little about the various news about the outside world.
"Brother Tao, this Senior Brother Ren Hai, I heard that he is a legend of the outer gate, the last time he showed his strength in front of everyone was a year ago, when he was already in the late congenital stage, and now his strength is geomertic, no one knows."
The burly man paused and continued: "Senior Brother Ren Hai has always seen the beginning and not the end, and it is difficult to see him in person at the outer gate, according to Senior Brother Ren Hai's strength, he could have entered the inner gate two years ago, but he did not show up in the two inner gate promotion matches, which caused him to still stay in the outer gate now." ”
"It seems that this Ren Hai is very powerful!" Shen Tao muttered with his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Of course, he is said to have been in the number one position for two years."
The burly man became more and more energetic the more he spoke: "I heard that in the year-end competition a year ago, someone tried to defeat him, but he was defeated in three moves!" ”
It can be seen that the burly man, like other members of the outer sect, has a little admiration for Ren Hai, a legendary figure.
After all, people like them don't worship the strong the most, especially the strong ones who are very close to themselves.
At this time, the surrounding audience was still talking.
"By the way, I heard that a few days ago, there was a kid named Shen Tao, who openly called out our old members in the cafeteria, and injured two people, and finally almost fought with Dai Bin, who was second on the list?"
"It's true, although that Shen Tao is a new member, but it is said that he has the strength of the early stage of the innate stage, according to his strength, he should play today, right? I don't know what ranking he will be able to achieve. ”
"He? Although it is the early stage of congenital, but it is too tender, it is estimated that he is the kind that ranks at the bottom of the strength in the early stage of congenital, he can't even think about the top ten, but the top twenty is possible. Someone said disdainfully.
A blue-haired man, when he heard everyone say this, he couldn't help but feel upset for Shen Tao.
"The top twenty is not bad, after all, he is just a new member, he has just joined the Xiuzhen Bureau for less than a month, and if he can squeeze into the top twenty of the ground list in such a short time, it is very powerful, okay?"
The blue-haired man continued: "Even Senior Brother Ren Hai, who is the number one on the ground list, didn't he just barely squeeze into the top twenty when he first joined the Xiuzhen Bureau? If this Shen Tao cultivates for another two or three years, the top ten on the ground list will be a sure thing! ”
"In this way, there is some truth, this Shen Tao, if he is given a few more years of cultivation, maybe he will be the next Senior Brother Ren Hai, and he is destined to join the inner gate in the future, which is not beyond our reach."
Some nodded in agreement.
"Just him? Do you still want to compare with Senior Brother Ren Hai? You also think too highly of that guy named Shen Tao? I admit that Shen Tao's strength is indeed good, but compared to Senior Brother Ren Hai, he is much worse, and his future achievements may not even be comparable to Senior Brother Dai Bin, who is second on the ground list. ”
"That's it! Where is the kind of person he qualified to compare with Senior Brother Ren Hai? ”
Most of the old members have an attitude of looking down on Shen Tao and despising Shen Tao.
After all, Shen Tao's cafeteria a few days ago made many old members look down on Shen Tao in their hearts.
"Hey, Dai Bin is here!"
While everyone was talking, someone suddenly shouted.
After all, Dai Bin is the second on the list of outer doors, although his fame is not as good as Ren Hai's, but it is enough to be a focus of the members.
When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look.
Sure enough, Dai Bin, who was in a light blue robe, walked into the martial arts training ground with a bit of pride, followed by a few followers.
After Dai Bin entered, he walked directly to the front row of the audience, and then did it and began to wait for the game.
As soon as Dai Bin entered, everyone in the audience began to talk about Dai Bin.
