Li Ji sat down in response, chewed the steamed bun in his mouth, and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I just got up early to practice swordsmanship." ”

Senior Brother Wei Hu said: "So, you are going to participate in this round of competition?"

Li Ji nodded and said, "Yes, the injury is healed anyway, and it's good to take the opportunity to move your muscles and bones." ”

Wei Hu said: "We all think that you are recovering from a serious injury, so you must not be too tired, and it is not suitable to participate in the competition." ”

Li Ji said: "It's not in the way, I went to do some physical training this morning, and I've recovered well." ”

Hearing this, Wei Hu breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since you have decided, we also respect your choice." You fight well, the momentum must be taken out, remember one thing, don't take victory or defeat too seriously!"

The fourth senior brother Fei Di also said: "Yes, yes, as long as you work hard, it's okay, just take it as a big scene, and it's not too late to come back to participate in a hundred years." ”

Before he finished speaking, he was hit on the chest by the second senior brother Yang Kan and said, "What is the fourth brother talking nonsense, can you still participate in a hundred years?"

Then he said: "Today, Senior Brother, Fourth Brother, Little Senior Sister, and Seventh Elder will all participate in the second round of the competition, and the Kamikaze Academy will depend on the four of you." Although the three of us are not as good as others and have been eliminated, but we will not lose the battle, you have to win today no matter what, come on. ”

Xinyan was like a deflated balloon, and said: "It's light, those who can enter the second round of the competition are all masters at the spirit level, and if you want to win a game next, it's even more difficult than ascending to the sky!"

The Qifa Dao Elder appeared behind her at some point and said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to fight!"

When everyone heard Master's voice, they hurriedly got up from their seats and said nervously, "Yes......"

Daoist Qifa's indifferent eyes swept over everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Li Ji, and said, "Ji'er, I heard that you are playing against Xiao Baojuan of the Taixu Palace, are you ready?"

Li Ji patted his chest and said confidently: "Master, the disciple is ready." ”

Everyone was glanced at by the master's eyes, and they all had a wit, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Only Xinyan sighed, her eyes fluctuated a lot, she stared back at Li Ji, and said: "Senior brother, Xiao Baojuan is a member of the royal family of the Qi Kingdom, an intermediate Lingshi, a leader of the younger generation, and a popular candidate for the top four of this year's Lingji Martial Arts, I'm afraid that no matter how much you practice, you will be far inferior to him......"

When Li Ji heard her say this unintentionally, his heart seemed to be ripped of a piece of meat, and he lowered his head and endured the pain and said, "Then I, I'll do my best!"

When encountering a strong man, everyone thought that he would definitely lose this battle, and even Li Ji himself felt that there was nothing wrong with what they said, and he had heard such words countless times, so it was not strange.

But when it came out of Xinyan's mouth, it felt completely different, and these words were like a ghost drilling straight into her heart, deeply piercing that fragile heart.

Breakfast was used up in a hurry, Li Ji's mood was a little depressed, and he casually made an excuse to go down the mountain alone along the winding mountain road, what he needed now was not everyone's advice or comfort, at this time he needed someone to be quiet.

Walking on the soft yellow dirt road, passing a golden wheat field, like flowing gold, shaking her soft waist in the breeze.

"I'm afraid that no matter how much you practice, you won't be as good as him......"

This sentence was like a thousand heavy burdens pressing on Li Ji's chest at once, word by word constantly stimulating every nerve in him, and in an instant he felt a little suffocated in his breathing, and his voice was choked and speechless.

Although it was early in the morning, the temperature was already very high under the majesty of midsummer, as if a pot of water on the stove was gradually bubbling and steaming and finally boiling, the fine grass on the hillside grew into a dense thick hair, the faint green smoke on the forest belt also condensed into a long wall of dark colors, and the dancing bee butterflies were gone, but in exchange for annoying cicadas, which chirped one after another among the leaves.

The fiery red sun baked a golden earth, and the wheat waves rolled, beating the distant mountains, the clouds in the sky, and also beating Li Ji's heart, like the waves of the sea surging to the shore, constantly hitting the rocks.

Gold reigned supreme in the world, and the hot wind floated across the fields, blowing the scent of ripe wheat. After years of accumulation, the spirit of the Shennong Mountains has become a majestic momentum, rolling on the fields and rising between heaven and earth.

Li Ji lay quietly on the grass, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, looking at all this, and muttered to himself: "No matter how much I practice, I am far inferior to him......"

It's a fact, it's just that everyone told him the truth.

"Why am I so uncomfortable? Why am I so depressed? Isn't that true?"

Li Ji didn't know what was wrong today, he was full of decadence, staring at the white clouds blooming in the clear blue sky, and the green mountains faintly covered by fog in the distance, his eyes were red, tears welled up, and his heart was surrounded by a warm current, recalling the look back of that moment......

Looking at the green mountains in front of the battle today, I was drunk and lying in the gentle township in the past.

"What's wrong with me, it's like the end of the world, why bother with self-pity here, there are still many pairs of expectant eyes looking at me, hoping that I can be stronger, stronger. Mingzhu and my mother are in seclusion in Ruoyun Shangxian, if they know that my heart is so fragile, they will definitely be heartbroken, hatred is not steel, and Ling'er, Fatty, and Shi Xi are all irreversible friends, who once lent a helping hand when I was in the most difficult time, at this time, if I hesitate in my heart and lose myself, how can I live up to their ardent expectations?"

"Never make excuses for your incompetence, if you don't have enough talent, use the acquired effort!"

"No matter how hard it is, you have to fight!"

......

After a long and flat pebble road, I finally arrived at my destination, and I trotted all the way because I had been delayed for some time on the road, and now I felt a little tired, and my forehead was sweating from time to time because of the intensification of the exercise.

He kept wiping, and at the same time adjusted his somewhat disordered aura, and his eyes stared directly at a huge open space in front of him, and there was a sign as high as him, which was carved with three big characters in the martial arts field.

The competition ground is an open place located in the middle of the Shenlong Mountain Range, adjacent to the center between the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Hall.

Not far from here is the entrance and exit of the martial arts arena, although the sun is rising, but at this time there is a tendency for the crowd to gradually increase, and it will be bustling after a while.

Li Ji lined up and slowly entered, at this time the competition field has changed a little, there are many examination rooms in the main field, and there is a wood carved sign in front of each examination room, indicating the serial number of the examination room and the name of the contestant.

There are crowds in front of each examination room, and some examination rooms range from dozens to hundreds.

The martial arts arena with a radius of about a few miles is wide and flat, with an endless stream of people, surrounded by all kinds of weapons for the disciples participating in the competition to borrow at any time.

The figures on the majestic pavilion are shaking, eight white dragon flags are hung on the pavilion, hunting sounds, the heads of the three halls and seven courtyards and the guests from all parties have been seated, taste the tea carefully, turn their heads and ears, and watch the lively scene under the field.

In the main field of the martial arts field, at this time, all the disciples who passed the first round of assessment gathered, bustling, looking at the past, there were about 100 people, men and women, all dressed in plain white clothes, carrying long swords, male disciples strutting their heads, the spring breeze showed the innocence of youth, and the female disciples were green and silky, handsome and unparalleled, such as the posture of an immortal.

The Taixu Hall Yuxu Zhenren said some words in a low tone on the pavilion, to the effect that it was an important decision made by the restart of the Spirit Club Wu Nai after careful consideration, in order to carry forward the fashion of the world's spirits, cultivate the chivalrous spirit of the younger generation with the world in mind and the courage to take responsibility, and cast the character of not being afraid of the world and not asking about the West and the East.

Li Ji's mood seemed chaotic, and his thoughts became chaotic, his heart was already mixed, and from time to time there was a bitterness that spread from his chest to his limbs, and he didn't listen much to what Yuxu Zhenren said, until he finally said, "Now that the competition begins, please go to the corresponding examination room to participate in the competition according to the jade card in your hand." ”

After speaking, the participating disciples in the field dispersed one after another and walked to their own examination room.

Looking at the figure of more than 100 people who dispersed in an instant, Li Ji pondered: "These are all high-level disciples who are one in a hundred and have real talents, and I am fortunate to enter the second round of martial arts, and I am a little indiscriminate, and no one knows what will happen in the future......

He lowered his head, a little ashamed, and his cheeks burned like heat.

In addition to hard work, qualifications are also very important, and in general, only one person in 100 people can have the opportunity to continue their studies. Although the introductory disciples recruited by Shennong Villa have been carefully selected, there are still very few disciples who can really stay and enter the inner gate, so you can imagine how difficult it is to cultivate a certain amount of spiritual power.

"Old Seven, why don't you leave?

Several senior brothers of the Kamikaze Academy saw that Li Ji was standing in place in a trance, thinking that he was lost, so they came over to say hello.

Li Jiru woke up from a dream and said, "No, no, I'll go ...... now"

As he spoke, he lifted his leg and stepped forward.

Wei Hu suddenly shouted: "Old Seven, this way!"

It turned out that Li Ji was dizzy for a while, and he actually went in the wrong direction and walked to the exit of the martial arts arena.

Fei Di said: "Old Seven, are you scared? Why don't the fourth senior brother ......accompany you?"

Li Ji said: "No need, I'm fine, I can do it." ”

Fei Di said: "Okay, don't be nervous, anyway, if you lose, you will lose, Master didn't expect you to win, unlike us, the pressure is great, if you lose this round of martial arts, it will be miserable." ”

Li Ji said: "Senior brother, fourth senior brother, senior sister, come on, you will definitely win." ”

"Well, take care!" replied the three of them, and they stepped forward to their own arena.

The other three senior brothers who have been eliminated, the second senior brother Yang Kan, the third senior brother Lan Qin, and the fifth senior brother Chang Yizhi said while walking: "Old Seven, let's go cheer for the little junior sister, take care!"

After saying that, a puff of smoke disappeared.

Li Ji looked at the dead backs of the senior brothers, and said in his heart: "There will be a fierce battle this time, take care of yourself!"
