Chapter 43 Selection
"Xiao Chen, you can be counted as coming, if you don't come again, the selection will begin. ”
Luo Min didn't know where to come from, grabbed Xiao Chen's arm and ran towards the center of the school.
I don't know when a wooden tower with a height of more than ten zhang was erected at the center of the school field, which was extremely majestic. Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh a little after seeing the wooden tower, it was hard to imagine how much manpower it would take to build such a majestic wooden tower overnight.
The wooden tower has three floors, the first layer occupies nearly fifty zhang square circle, the second layer is slightly smaller, almost twenty or thirty zhang square circle, the third layer only has zhang xu, standing on the highest floor of the wooden tower.
There are a number of black-clothed men on each floor of the wooden tower, and there are undoubtedly border guards who are dressed in them, there are eight border guards standing on the first floor, and their strength is up and down the seven layers of the open pulse, and there are four border guards on the second layer of the wooden tower, and the strength is about eight times in the open pulse.
There was only one figure on the highest level of the wooden tower, and judging from the spiritual pressure emanating from the surrounding body, it should be the peak of the opening vein.
"What does this mean?" Xiao Chen asked with some puzzlement.
Li Hang rushed over from the side, baring his teeth and inhaling cold air for a while.
"Grandma, although there are more people participating in the selection of border guards this year, this formation is also terrifying......
Li Hang pointed to the wooden tower in the center of the school and said, "This wooden tower is the place of selection, if you want to become a border guard, you must break through these old members." ”
Xiao Chen frowned and looked at the border guards standing on the wooden tower, looking at the people in the school yard with a playful expression, but he understood a little in his heart.
"There are a total of sixteen seats on the first floor of the wooden tower, which means that those who can grab these sixteen seats from the border guards can become members of the border guards. ”
Xiao Chen's gaze moved upward, and he did see sixteen red circles on the first floor of the wooden tower, so he ......
Xiao Chen's gaze turned and he found eight circles on the second floor of the wooden tower, while at the top of the tower, there was only one red circle.
"As you can see, standing firm in the first layer doesn't mean anything, if you want to have better identity resources among the border guards, you must at least occupy a place in the second layer. ”
And the third layer ...... Forget it, I heard that people who can rush to the third layer can go directly to the Spirit Pagoda to practice, but there is only one place......" Li Hang said with a sigh.
"And the person guarding the pass is a border guard at the peak of the opening pulse, do you think anyone can break through the third level of his guard?"
The pinnacle of the opening pulse?
Xiao Chen's eyebrows sank slightly, and his gaze fell on the figure in the strongest suit at the top of the wooden tower, and a faint glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
The peak of the Open Pulse is naturally very strong, at least for ordinary Open Pulse Realm cultivators, the peak of the Open Pulse is an insurmountable peak.
But is there really no one in the field who can defeat the peak of the Open Pulse? Not necessarily.
Xiao Chen's gaze swept over, and finally fell on the young man with the sword on the side of the school field, and the brocade-clothed boy who was leaning against the wall and napping in the shadows not far away.
Jian Junsheng and Gu Qian should be the top geniuses among their peers, whether it is talent or inheritance, they are not comparable to the cultivators of the border cities in remote places, if they really show their hole cards, I am afraid they can really defeat a master at the peak of the opening of the pulse.
And, of course, your own ......
"Are you saying that people who can break into the top of the Wooden Pagoda can go directly to the Spirit Pagoda to practice, and they don't need to join the border guards to carry out tasks?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"That's right?" Li Hang replied a little strangely, thinking to himself, could it be that you want to hit the first place in the selection of border guards?
It's funny to think about it, Xiao Chen is just a fourfold Open Pulse Realm, how can he compare with a peak cultivator of the Open Pulse Realm?
"Got it......"
Xiao Chen nodded, regardless of the occasion and time, he sat down directly on the spot and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
As time passed, the aura of heaven and earth in the entire school field began to flow slowly, converging towards Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, what are you going to do, the selection of border guards is about to start, you don't have to start practicing now, right......" Luo Min shouted with a toothache, but saw that Xiao Chen didn't react in the slightest, so he could only stand in place and guard Xiao Chen.
"This guy, the god is talking ......"
At the moment of the rising sun, the second round of the selection of the wingers officially began.
There were not too many openings, just like the resolute and cold style of the border city, when a loud drum and horn sounded, the extremely depressed atmosphere in the school field suddenly exploded and rose.
In fact, there are not many people who light up the soul crystal through the soul measurement ceremony, and there are only less than 100 people in total, but compared with the twenty-five places of the border city guard, it is still a little more.
Moreover, on top of the octagonal wooden tower, there are eight border guards, which means that each border guard needs to block at least ten people.
But in fact, there are far more than 10 people to block for each gatekeeper.
Luo Min looked at Jian Junsheng, who was a single sword not far away, and a strong battle intent slowly rose in his eyes.
Among people of the same age, he has never been convinced by anyone, even if he is the best genius boy in Broken Sword Peak, he has the courage to compete.
But seeing the scene where he blocked Zhang Xu Fangyuan alone, so that there were no competitors on the side where Jian Junsheng was, he still couldn't help grinning.
Luo Min's gaze turned again, and soon fell in the other direction, separated by two positions of Jian Junsheng, a young man wrapped in black clothes also put on a posture of being a man, and all the cultivators who swept past the young man all changed their faces slightly, and they turned to the other side very obediently, to compete for another place.
Hundred ghosts walk at night, the boss of the night ghost hunting team, Ye Xu.
One opens the pulse sevenfold, and the other opens the pulse eightfold, blocking the opportunity for the entire border guard to select a quarter, this situation naturally makes many people unhappy, but no one dares to say more.
Then came the scuffle, the crazy scuffle, the sword and the body, everything that could be used was used as a weapon, and countless splendid skills or straight collisions began in the border city schoolyard.
"I really can't imagine that there are so many powerful people in the small border city, why didn't I find it before?" Luo Min squatted next to Xiao Chen and couldn't help muttering.
When everyone started to rush to the wooden tower, the place where he and Xiao Chen were became much more empty.
"That's right, our Bai Rong used to be regarded as a powerful hunting team in the border city, but you and Bai Ling are the ones with the highest strength, but if you look at it now, there are more than a dozen of them just by opening the vein, mother, I haven't even seen several of them......" Li Hang squatted on the other side of Xiao Chen, scratching his head and said.
"En'......" Luo Min nodded in response.
"Luo Min, do you and Xiao Chen have any plans to select border guards, squatting here to watch the excitement, aren't you afraid of being robbed of places?" Li Hang glanced at Xiao Chen and asked strangely.
"I really want to, but look at this guy, he is so settled, obedient...... Can Lao Tzu rest assured that he will participate in the selection?"
"That's right, Xiao Chen, this kid has caused a lot of enemies, if someone is yin, I can't stop it alone......"
So, the atmosphere of the whole school field has become very strange.
The position of the wooden tower in the center of the school field is in full swing, but Xiao Chen on the other side is actually practicing with his eyes closed, Luo Min and Li Hang, two half-grown young people, squatting on both sides and chatting about family life, looking at the selection competition above, they can occasionally comment on one or two sentences.
The two completely different states are surprisingly compatible with each other.
In the attic next to the school field, Wang Shi, who was dressed in white, appeared strangely, raised his eyes to look at the school field, and his eyes swept over Xiao Chen, who was cross-legged, and he couldn't help but look stunned.
"It's really interesting that this kid can easily enter the realm of selflessness in such a place......"
......
"Tsk, I didn't expect Zhang Yun's bastard talent to be bad, but his combat effectiveness is not weak......" Luo Min squatted in the middle of the school field, his eyes fell on Zhang Yun, who had begun to climb towards the second floor of the wooden tower, and couldn't help muttering.
In fact, not everyone will be stopped by the tower guards, those who are obviously very talented and strong, the tower guards on the first floor will directly choose to give way. For example, Zhang Yun, Xiong Li, and Jian Junsheng and Ye Xu who monopolized the two passages on the other side.
The strength of these guys varies from seven to eight in the open vein, and their combat effectiveness is also quite strong, even if the seventh-layer tower guards can stop it, it will naturally affect the fairness of the selection. So it's really a good practice to let it go directly.
"Luo Min, why do I think that there is no need for the Wooden Tower Guards to exist at all, wouldn't it be better to let the people participating in the selection compete for the quota on their own?" Li Hang scratched his head and muttered a little inexplicably.
Just look at the wooden tower guards on the first floor, the frequency of shots is not high, except for the occasional shot, most of the time it is directly released. In contrast, the frequency of shots between those involved in the selection is higher.
"Do you think that these old men of the border guards are really here to participate in the defense of the tower?" Luo Min rolled his eyes and said, "There are four guards in the border city, and the blood of the guards every year is replenished with a small number of internal orders, and most of them come from the border guard selection competition. ”
"You must know that once these people are selected, they will enter the border city guards, and the old people in those guards naturally hope to accept a few capable newcomers, of course, it is also important to be pleasing to the eye. ”
"If these Wooden Tower Guards are selected for their own ranks, it is better to say that they are selected for their own guards...... Of course, maintaining order should also be a big purpose, otherwise these people who have gathered from all over the country will really fight bloody, and they will not be able to cause human lives......"
Li Hang nodded, finally understanding.
"You see, the four people on the second floor of the wooden tower are the deputy captains of the four guards in the border city, Zhang Yun has been selected by the deputy captain of the second team, and there is no problem in entering the second team of the border city, and Xiong Li ...... That stupid big guy and the first-floor border guard just got up, tsk, the guy with a lack of brains......"
"And ......"
Luo Min's eyes fell on Jian Junsheng and Ye Xu, who had successfully walked up to the second floor, and his brows furrowed slightly, because at the same time, Gu Qian, who had been seen, also walked up to the second floor from another direction, and smiled at everyone with sleepy eyes.
There are already four people on the second floor, and with Xiong Li, who will inevitably be able to go to the second floor, it seems that there are not many places......
