Chapter 33 The monthly examination begins
At this time, the hall masters, hall masters, and instructors came one after another, and they all sat on the viewing platform prepared next to the host table to watch the test.
"Everyone, listen clearly, there are two competition platforms in front of here, the left is the competition of the yellow-level disciples, and the right is the competition of the Xuan-level disciples. I now announce that the August monthly examination has officially begun. After the instructor in charge of this competition finished speaking, all the disciples waited under the competition table of their peers.
Ye Xiaomu and Ling Xiao, Tang Qiu, Ning Lan, Su Jingxuan, and Peng Ziran, who came to watch the test, came to the yellow-level competition platform to watch the other disciples who competed first, because the number of yellow-level disciples was relatively large, and the five disciples of the same layer in the first round went to the stage to compete together, so that when it came to the rest time before noon, the first-level students of the yellow level quickly eliminated a lot until the last girl named Qingyu.
The instructor came to the stage again to read out the results, and then asked the disciples to go to the cafeteria to eat first, and the competition continued in the afternoon.
So Ye Xiaomu and the others went back to the cafeteria where they usually ate first, and as soon as they found a place to sit down, they heard a sigh outside the door.
"I really can't imagine that Qingyu, who doesn't look very good, can actually win, usually looking at her weak and wind-resistant, she even has to stop for a long time to carry water." The male disciple who came in said.
"That's right, I'm the son of the general of the Fire Country, seeing that she looks okay as a civilian, I went to tease her, saying that I knew that she rolled her eyes. Fortunately, I couldn't help but move her at the time, otherwise I would have been miserable at the same level as the Yellow Level. A man looked scared for a while after speaking.
At that time, when several male disciples surrounded the girl named Qingyu, the surrounding disciples thought that she had lost when they saw that she was covered in injuries, but when she was covered in blood and whipped the men who beat her to their knees and begged for mercy, even Ye Xiaomu praised the perseverance of this girl. That girl will be a formidable opponent when she becomes stronger.
"Anyway, if I see her in the future, it's right to provoke her less, I see that those first-tier disciples are really miserable, if you don't beg for mercy, I'm afraid that you will be killed directly." The eyes in her eyes are about to go crazy, it's too terrifying. After a male disciple finished speaking, several people next to him nodded in unison with a look of fear for a while, and then they all sat down at the table on the side to eat.
"Sister Mu, are you competing on the second layer of the yellow level?" Peng Ziran said with concern.
Ye Xiaomu nodded and responded, in fact, she wanted to go to other layers, but the teacher said that she would be familiar with the second layer first, so she reluctantly tried it first, and it was better not to show too much strength.
"Senior Sister Tang and Senior Sister Ning should be on the third layer of the yellow level, I don't know how to wait for them, but it's a pity that they didn't dine here." Ye Xiaomu said.
"There's no way, it's all canteens opened by the royal family of the five countries to take care of the nobles, and ordinary disciples haven't been invited, so they can't come here at will." As soon as Yang Xuan arrived, he heard Ye Xiaomu's conversation and answered.
Ye Xiaomu shook his head with some dissatisfaction.
"That's not easy, I'll just invite them." Ye Xiaomu said suddenly.
"Sister Mu, your identity can't go, let's go." Ling Xiao reminded and replied.
Because Ye Xiaomu was only an exceptional disciple of Taiji Palace on the surface, although the other disciples were unwilling but didn't dare to say anything because of their identity, they never regarded her as a person with a special status. Among the nobles, they had never heard of Ye Xiaomu's name. The identities of Ling Xiao and Peng Ziran were known to many disciples, and the apprenticeship had heard that Ye Xiaomu had saved Peng Ziran, and simply felt that it was because of this that the hall master accepted her into the house.
"Also, Senior Sister Mu is just an ordinary identity, and it's really not good to invite them over." Yang Xuan originally thought that Ye Xiaomu had been invited by Peng Ziran to dine here, so he agreed to Ling Xiao to come over, after all, Huo Zun's persuasiveness was stronger than the others.
"That's it, I'll go find the two of them before the next meal." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, the servant brought all the dishes, and everyone stopped talking and picked up chopsticks to enjoy.
"Why didn't you see Senior Brother today?" After Ye Xiaomu finished eating, he walked on the road and asked Ling Xiao.
"He seems to have practiced, there are fewer Xuan-level senior brothers and sisters, and there are already ten disciples who won in the morning." Yang Xuan replied.
"Senior Brother Xuan, aren't you also Xuan-level? Why are you so idle? Ye Xiaomu asked curiously.
"Needless to say, he must have failed." Ling Xiao looked at Yang Xuan's embarrassed appearance and guessed.
"That's no way, the opponents are too strong, I'm a newcomer to the Xuan level, how can I compare with them." Yang Xuan replied unconvinced.
"If it doesn't work this time, I'll do it next time. It's a long time coming. ”
"Yes, yes, it's a long time coming."
A few people continued to return to the front of the main hall after talking and laughing, and there were quite a few disciples present at this time, and many of them continued to practice on the side. Ye Xiaomu saw Tang Qiu and Ning Lan wielding their long swords from a distance.
"You're so fast? Have you eaten? ”
"I just ate some and came over, I was afraid that I would delay my studies. By the way, Senior Sister Ye will play later, right? Don't you have to practice? Tang Qiu asked when he saw Ye Xiaomu so easily.
"I practiced last night and wanted to keep the aura. I won't practice. ”
"yes, I didn't think of that. I don't practice first, in case I wait, it will be troublesome if the spiritual power is used up. Listening to Ye Xiaomu's words, Tang Qiu and the others stopped.
"Tsk, it's the same whether she practices her kung fu or not." Chen Yao followed behind Guan Shangyan and just happened to hear it and mocked.
"Whoever is stronger than whom, you will know if you have beaten it later, oh, by the way, you are also a yellow-level third-layer, so you have to be careful later." Tang Qiu shot back.
"Okay, I'll show you later." After Chen Yao finished speaking, he left with a smug face and followed the official Shangyan in front.
"Cousin, why are you messing with her, this person is too insidious, you have to be careful later." Ning Lan commanded worriedly.
"Knowing my cousin, it's also a third-layer, I'm afraid she won't make it." Tang Qiu said unconvinced.
"Anyway, you just have to be careful." Ye Xiaomu patted Tang Qiu's shoulder and said.
The instructor came to the big test platform in the middle again and read the opening remarks aloud.
The disciples of the second layer of the yellow level also went up to the test table on the left in batches to compete. As time passed, Ye Xiaomu was finally called to play. The friends around him cheered for him offstage.
Ye Xiaomu was holding the moon chop in his hand, dressed in a moon-white robe, with two red hairbands tied on his head, braided hair, white and red skin, big eyes, standing on the competition platform like a little fairy, and the male disciples in the audience were worried that this beautiful little junior sister would be injured later.
At this time, the two male disciples on the test table looked at Ye Xiaomu with a smile.
"This little junior sister, don't blame me if the senior brother hits hard." A disciple of the Imperial Water Hall with a blue ribbon on his head said.
Ye Xiaomu nodded politely.
"This competition is also very important to the senior brother, if you are offended, don't blame it." Another disciple with a brown ribbon said.
Ye Xiaomu: It seems that it should be the senior brother of Qianjitang.
"It's okay, there are no brothers and sisters on the field, senior brother, please do your best." Ye Xiaomu replied respectfully, and the brown ribbon man nodded.
At this time, two more Thunder Hall disciples with yellow ribbons, one male and one female, came up from the audience. When the instructor saw that the five of them had arrived, he rang a gong on the left to announce the beginning.
Everyone wielded their own weapons in their hands, except for the Thunder Hall, both of whom used electric whips, and the three of Qi Qi who all used long swords. After a few strokes, the disciples of Yushuitang were defeated and withdrew from the competition platform. Next, the two disciples of the Thunder Hall cooperated, and successively injured the male disciples of the Thousand Skills Hall with electric whips, while Ye Xiaomu kept dodging. It was only when the male disciple couldn't bear it anymore that he retreated, and at this time, there were only two disciples left on the stage, Ye Xiaomu and Thunder Hall.
Ye Xiaomu saw that he was able to make a move, and faintly felt that the spiritual power of these two people should have broken through the second layer, and said with a secret smile in his heart: It seems that this is specifically for me, but it's not a little self-sufficient. Hum..
Ye Xiaomu sneered and watched the two of them attack one after the other, and each whip of the two of them swung towards Ye Xiaomu's face, Ye Xiaomu used his sword to resist the electric whip that was waving, making people look like they were retreating, the male disciples in the audience all secretly sweated for her, Tang Qiu and Ning Lan were even more anxious to jump up, Yang Xuan and Ling Xiao both saw that the two of them were not weak and their moves were ruthless, and they couldn't help but be a little worried. There was even the urge to jump up and help.
At this time, Ye Xiaomu gave them a reassuring look, and the two stopped moving on the stage. Just when Ye Xiaomu looked at the audience, he saw Guan Shangyan and several Thunder Hall disciples around him talking in a thorough whisper, and then the disciples made a downward gesture to the two people on the stage.
Ye Xiaomu: This woman is really insidious, this is a cruel attack on me. Let's see who strikes first.
Ye Xiaomu came over with the female disciple waving the electric whip, dodged sideways, came to her side, and when the two made eye contact, he suddenly chuckled at the female disciple, and then the female disciple's pupils dilated, and she stumbled and flew out of the audience, and everyone didn't react to what happened.
In fact, when the female disciple leaned on Ye Xiaomu just now, Ye Xiaomu just tied her waist with lotus root silk, and then used the moon cutting to inject spiritual energy into her waist with the hilt of the sword, and kicked her out, because the lotus root silk was almost transparent, and the people in the audience couldn't see it at all. thought that she was pushed down by Ye Xiaomu with her feet because she didn't stand well.
Another male disciple saw that the female disciple had been defeated, so he was angry and waved the electric whip at Ye Xiaomu, at this time Ye Xiaomu also felt that it was not fun, and took the chopping moon straight at the electric whip, the long electric whip was cut off section by section, and finally, Ye Xiaomu's long sword pointed at the other party's throat. At this time, the mentor announced that Ye Xiaomu had won. The officials in the audience left angrily after seeing it.
"Senior Sister Guan, what's the matter? It's almost time for me to compete, won't you take a look? Chen Yao shouted at the backs of the officials and the others, but unfortunately they didn't turn back.
After Ye Xiaomu stepped off the stage, several friends happily surrounded him.
"Sister Mu, you just scared me to death." Peng Ziran said.
"Aren't I okay now?"
"Senior Sister Ye, you are so interested." Tang Qiu and Ning Lanqi said. Ye Xiaomu smiled and nodded, she was also helpless, she was so high-level, but she had to accompany those low-level people to play.
"By the way, are you on stage together?" Ye Xiaomu asked.
"No, it's better for us to play separately, after all, there is only one person who wins. It's also high to win separately. Ning Lan said.
"Uh-oh." Ye Xiaomu nodded understandingly.
After all the disciples on the second floor finished the competition, Ye Xiaomu easily won the first place in the second layer.
The mentor began to announce the list of the third layer, and among the first five people, Tang Qiu and Chen Yao were actually selected, as well as three other disciples in the hall. Ning Lan watched Tang Qiu walk onto the stage worriedly, and Ye Xiaomu and the others cheered her up offstage.
"Don't be nervous, let's watch and cheer her on." Ye Xiaomu took Ning Lan's hand and comforted.
