Di Xiu was seriously injured, the problem became very tricky, and no one could do anything better, so they could only leave it for later, and the second game on the afternoon of the fourth day went on as usual. Now that Ding Mian has opened his mouth, Shi Tao's previous match against Lu Yi was also very good, and this time he personally ruled his match with Xu Zheng in order to take a closer look at his performance.

Lin Han proposed that Ding Mian accept Shi Tao as an apprentice, on the one hand, because of Shi Tao's outstanding performance, and on the other hand, there was also the factor of attracting power. After not being in the sect for a long time, Lin Han also miscalculated, originally thought that among this group of disciples, only Li Ji and Xu Zheng were relatively good, to his surprise, the others were not inferior, many of them broke through to the fifth layer of the mental method, and even three of them reached the realm of the fifth layer of Great Perfection.

By mistake, Lin Han brought Li Ji to his side, but this was far from enough, and no one could say what would happen in the future. Not to mention anything else, even Xu Zheng, who is now close to him like a brother, Lin Han may not be able to guarantee whether he will always be in the same boat with him in the future. After all, people are changeable, and Lin Han himself is a strong person, even if he does not control the power of the Songshan faction, he must maintain a transcendent position, he does not dare to guarantee that Xu Zheng can tolerate it.

In the case of a talent blowout in the sect, Lin Han must plan well, at least attract some people to gather around him, form a deterrent to others, and make people dare not attack him easily.

Now, just on the occasion of the year-end competition, Lin Han needs to observe the disciples in the sect, especially the inner disciples who have entered the top sixteen, they will be entrusted with important tasks after the year, and he must judge which people can be wooed. Among the top sixteen disciples, Di Xiu, Shi Dengda, and Wan Daping are a faction, and with Di Xiu as the leader, there is no possibility of winning over. Then below are He Jin, Liu Xuewen, and You Xun, among these three, You Xun is too sleek, and he has been marked with the grass on the wall in Lin Han's heart. Liu Xuewen is a late bloomer, and he is about to be included in Lu Bai's disciples, so he will not easily stand in line, and it is almost impossible to be co-opted; He Jin's situation is similar to Liu Xuewen's, but his luck is not very good, it is impossible to worship under the Songshan Triumvirate again, and his mind is also the most difficult to figure out.

Among the disciples in the same group as Lin Han, Xu Zheng and Lin Han were good friends, but the problem of power distribution after that was the biggest trouble, if it was not handled well, it was very likely that there would be disagreements, which was the problem that Lin Han was most unwilling to face. Li Ji said that after passing on his "Red Flame True Scripture", he was almost Lin Han's descendant and the most trustworthy. And then there is Meng Fei, his cultivation is not too high, but he is only a fifth-layer Xiaocheng, but he has not been co-opted by anyone at present, and there are two brothers by his side who have also just broken through to the fifth layer of the mental method, and the buy one get two free deal is the most worthy of Lin Han to do, so Lin Han's first goal is Meng Fei. Through previous contacts, Lin Han was still very confident in winning over Meng Fei and the others.

Then there are Zhang Tianfeng and Wu Ping, Lin Han and Zhang Tianfeng are not familiar with each other, and they are limited to meeting and saying hello, and it is more difficult to win them over. If Zhang Tianfeng still has the possibility of being wooed, then Wu Ping is almost impossible, after all, he was promoted by Tang Yinghe from the outer gate, and it is even more likely that he will worship under Tang Yingyu, and he will definitely be cautious about standing in line.

However, the remaining Li Yuheng can be co-opted, and his cultivation of the fifth layer of Dacheng is also of great use, and he is the second target in Lin Han's heart besides Meng Fei. And the last Shi Tao, seeing that his performance is getting better and better, Lin Han is sure that the master will take him under his disciple, and when the time comes, he will become a brother, who else can he help if he doesn't help Lin Han?

As for the three senior brothers who have practiced the Songshan Mental Method to the fifth level of the Great Perfection, as long as the three of them have a breakthrough, they are very likely to set up another mountain, but it is not within the scope of Lin Han's wooing, not to mention that Tang Jian among them is still at odds with him.

Originally, Lin Han thought that Xu Zheng would be the next head of the Songshan faction, Li Ji would refine martial arts, as the regular force of the sect to deter other sects, and he himself would study martial arts, organize and create martial arts for the sect, as an unconventional force, just like Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang faction. However, with the development of the sect, the situation in the sect is becoming more and more complicated, and he has to make preparations with both hands.

Under the auspices of Ding Mian, the battle between Xu Zheng and Shi Tao began. Zuo Lengchan, Lin Han and others turned to the ring to watch the game, but everyone's mood was heavy. Just like Zuo Lengzen, although he has been prepared in his heart, it is still difficult to accept the reality. It stands to reason that even if Di Xiu is abolished, the strength of the sect will be somewhat damaged, but it is not so obvious. However, considering that it was none other than Li Jishi who injured Di Xiu, it was Lin Han's lineage, things became much more complicated.

If Di Xiu doesn't have an accident, at most he will lose the opportunity to compete for the top spot, and he is willing to gamble and lose, and no one can complain about anyone; If Di Xiu is abolished, he will definitely hold a grudge. What people fear most is not that there is no hope, but that after seeing the light, they fall on the last step, which is the most hurtful. If Di Xiu did not break through to the sixth layer, he would be wasted, and at most he would be compensated in other aspects; But now, being abolished in the sixth layer, being abolished in the infinite light, whoever is replaced, there will be resentment in the heart.

And even if Di Xiu is abolished, with his connections among the disciples of Songshan, if he rises up to make trouble, it will really not be easy to deal with, which is also the key to Zuo Lengchan's worries. Lin Han's worries are also here, not to mention anything else, that is, Shi Dengda and Wan Daping will have the feeling of being sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Since the problem has arisen, we must find a way to solve it, no matter how we deal with it, we still have to make a decision later, but there is no need to rush for a while, for now, we still have to complete the year-end ratio first.

In the ring, Xu Zheng and Shi Tao had already exchanged hands, and this time, Ding Mian did not dare to slack off, and did not leave the two of them throughout the whole process, so that in the event of an accident, they could be rescued in time, so as not to repeat the previous situation.

Same as before, Shi Tao still put on a defensive posture from the beginning, he insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and planned to defend a future. Facing Shi Tao, who was like an old turtle shrunk in a turtle shell, Xu Zheng had no better way after several temptations.

Xu Zheng set traps several times, hoping to lure Shi Tao to attack, but the other party easily saw through it. No matter how good the opportunity is, Shi Tao just defends hard. As long as Xu Zheng raised his sword to attack, Shi Tao ran towards the long sword one after another, as if he could slap the tip of the sword away, he was already satisfied; And once there is a flaw in Xu Zheng's swordsmanship, whether it is true or not, he only cares about concentrating on the momentum, waiting quietly, and never taking the initiative to attack.

Facing Shi Tao, who was not presumptuous, Xu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh. Although his internal strength is a great realm stronger than Shi Tao, Shi Tao, who has rough skin and thick flesh, has long been accustomed to using a pair of fleshy palms against the enemy, and those bear paws have been tested by various internal forces for a long time. For a while, although Xu Zheng had the absolute upper hand, he couldn't help him in the slightest.

Ding Mian in the ring has been paying attention to Shi Tao's performance, observing so closely, seeing that Shi Tao was able to completely hold Xu Zheng's offensive, although he was at a disadvantage, he was proud enough, and Ding Mian was quite satisfied with his performance. You must know that Xu Zheng is a big realm higher than Shi Tao, although Xu Zheng's control of the cold ice true qi is not as good as that of Zuo Lengchan and Lin Han, but it is still possible to infuse the cold ice true qi into the long sword. In this way, Shi Tao not only has to face a strong internal force, but also has to resist the erosion of the cold force, so that he can only be slightly weaker, which is already quite commendable.

Shi Tao is guarding more and more steadily, Ding Mian is more and more satisfied, and Xu Zheng is naturally unwilling to lose this game. Knowing what Shi Tao was thinking, Xu Zheng no longer used those exquisite sword moves, and simply unleashed a set of basic sword techniques, just one move at a time, attacking with a wide opening and closing.

Looking at Xu Zheng's response with relief, Lin Han smiled and said to Zuo Lengchan beside him: "Senior Uncle, I didn't expect that Senior Brother Xu was already so good, and in the case of a long battle, he could calm down and think of a way, instead of blindly attacking." ”

Seeing Xu Zheng's performance, Zuo Lengchan was also relieved, and finally recovered from the haze of Di Xiu's abolition, he nodded and said: "Shi Tao's nephew's internal strength is worse, attack him with simple moves, coupled with the characteristics of cold ice true qi, presumably within two hundred moves, Zheng'er should win." ”

Lin Han nodded and said with a smile: "The advantage of Cold Ice True Qi is too obvious, although Senior Brother Xu can't use it freely, but with the power of Yin and Cold on the sword, after a long time, Senior Brother Shi Tao will definitely be unable to resist, and it will be a matter of time before he is defeated." It's just a pity that Senior Brother Shi Tao, if it wasn't for the Cold Ice True Qi this time, but against the last Senior Brother of the sixth layer of Songyang True Qi, he might not have the strength to fight. ”

"Hehe" Zuo Lengchan laughed out loud, "The eyes of your two masters and apprentices are really poisonous, your master took you into the door early, and you have found such an outstanding apprentice for your master, which is really enviable." ”

Lin Han said: "This is really an accident, it was because I saw that Senior Brother Shi Tao took a purely defensive path, which was completely different from my offensive way, and I thought that the collision between these two roads would be very interesting after going to the extreme, so I instigated the master to consider accepting another disciple, but I didn't expect the master to be really tempted." ”

"Hehe, with Senior Brother Ding's temperament, since it was recommended by you, and Shi Tao himself is really angry, how could he refuse!" Zuo Lengchan shook his head and chuckled.

Just when the two were chatting, Xu Zheng and Shi Tao had already fought for more than 200 moves, and at this time, Shi Tao couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly jumped out of the battle circle and directly stopped fighting and admitted defeat.

In this way, although there are many setbacks, today's task has finally been completed, the top two of the competition have been produced, one ice and one fire, Xu Zheng and Li Ji both reached the finals.

In the finals, a collision of ice and fire can be staged, and all the disciples are looking forward to it, even Lin Han himself wants to know, is it Li Ji's flame that melts Xu Zheng's ice, or Xu Zheng's ice freezes Li Ji's flame?
