Four days before the sword competition in the Burial Sword Villa, that is, after the competition between the disciples of the True Transmission had passed, it was actually the most intense stage.

This is the stage of the outer disciple competition.

Of course, the battle between the outer disciples could not be as good-looking as the true disciples, especially since the age was limited to under twenty years old, and the strength would not be high.

However, compared to the fights between the disciples of the True Transmission that tended to be in the nature of exhibition matches, the outer disciples fought much more seriously. Even if it weren't for the strong seniors next to him who were taking care of them, it would not be uncommon for a few people to die if they fought too seriously and couldn't contain their hands.

This annual sword competition is the best opportunity for the outer disciples to show themselves.

The material rewards of various victories and promotions are not looked down upon by the disciples of the True Transmission, but for the outer disciples who are relatively lacking in resources, they are all good things that they have to fight for.

This is something that ordinary disciples compete for, but for the geniuses or ambitious people among the outer disciples, this is the best chance for them to strive to become true disciples.

The exercises that can be practiced are different, whether there are special top masters as teachers, and the resources and treatment that they enjoy...... True disciples and outer disciples are completely one heaven and one earth.

The true disciple of the Burial Sword Villa has only one source - the sword master accepts apprentices.

After staying in the villa for a month, Jiang Yun probably figured out what the class division here was.

There are two systems in the Burial Sword Village, one is the inner door system, which is divided into three layers: the owner, the sword master, and the true disciple.

The owner of the village doesn't need to mention much, Lu Jianxi is alone, and he is the leader; The sword master is basically Lu Jianxi's peers or predecessors, and some of the older generations have already won the title of sword master.

The title of Sword Master is conferred by the Villa, and only those who are at least thirty years old, whose strength has reached at least the Sixth Star, and who have contributed to the affairs of the Villa, are eligible to be awarded the title, and the premise is that they are true disciples.

Actually, this amount is not very much.

It is worth mentioning that the same swordsman, the difference in strength is also quite large, and the difference in status is also big. Strong people such as the 'Huashui Sword Master' Zhao He, the master of the Ming Realm, can be regarded as the right-hand man of Lord Lu Zhuang; And some of the weaker ones may also be at the level of strength of the six stars in the realm, and their status is also relatively marginal.

was accepted as a personal disciple by the sword master, and that is the true disciple of the villa.

Generally speaking, some of this personal disciples are apprentices accepted by the sword master himself, whether they are children from outside, or their own relatives or side branches. But more often than not, it is from the outer disciples who pick the good ones and collect them.

That's the meaning of the annual sword competition.

Outer disciples, on this stage, show their strength. If you get the first, second, or third place or something, you will basically become a true disciple; Even if you don't have a particularly good ranking, as long as you play a good performance and are favored by a certain sword master, you still have the opportunity to become a true disciple.

It is conceivable that in the annual sword competition, the outer disciples will fight more.

In Jiang Yun's view, this is very much like the annual college entrance examination in his impression before the crossing, which is a good opportunity for a carp to jump into the dragon gate.

Therefore, the competition between outer disciples may not be so good-looking, but there is no doubt that the competition will be stronger.

On the fifth day of the sword competition, Jiang Yun didn't go to see it, and he was a cat at home for a day, mainly for cultivation.

On the sixth day, after finishing his cultivation in the morning, he went out to observe it in the afternoon.

The outer disciples under the age of twenty in the Burial Sword Village are much worse than the true inheritance.

Generally, there are only about three stars, many two-star, and very few four-star.

Moreover, those who can generally go to Qixing three and Qiqi four-star are basically eighteen or nineteen years old or even almost twenty years old.

This talent, thrown on the rivers and lakes outside, may be considered good, but in a famous Jiangdong family like Burial Sword Village, it is not enough to see.

Although Jiang Yun himself is only four stars now, don't forget that he is only seventeen years old.

Judging from general common sense, before the age of sixteen, when a person's muscles and bones and mind are far from maturity, it is difficult to cultivate well whether it is internal strength or swordsmanship, which is determined by people's physiological state. Many famous and decent families regard the period before the age of sixteen as the stage of laying the foundation, focusing on learning and experience, preparing for cultivation, and not asking too much for the cultivation at this stage.

After the age of sixteen, things will be much better, and the time when the real progress is the fastest is between the age of sixteen and thirty. When the energy and body are at their best, the mind also matures more and more as they become adults.

After the age of thirty-five, although the mind is better, the body begins to decline. Even if there is internal qi cultivation to support it, the combat power can still be preserved, but when you are older, it is not so easy to make rapid progress.

Unless it is in the realm of Ming, the internal qi is transformed into true qi and forms its own power system, and the stars of the internal qi are connected to become a nebula, then the ordinary will become a half-immortal, and the life span will be greatly increased, and the body will not age so easily.

For Jiang Yun, he still has a lot of good times.

Speaking of the sword competition in front of him, Jiang Yun watched a few games, and slowly became less interested.

It's not good-looking, and there are not many things that can be absorbed and learned, which makes him more and more unwilling to continue watching.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, he was on the shore next to a ring, ready to watch the last one.

The two on the stage are both male, they look like they are eighteen or nineteen years old, they are both Qi Sixing, they are good among the outer disciples, and their swordsmanship is okay.

But after watching the previous competition, Jiang Yun felt that what he was watching now was really not interesting.

Even if they fought very seriously and were full of gunpowder, and the previous one was only an exhibition match, he still felt that it would be more rewarding to watch those masters duel, and now these outer disciples ...... It's a bit of a rookie pecking at each other.

Thinking like this, Jiang Yun yawned.

A few of the onlookers next to him, who were also under the ring, looked at him with frowns, but didn't say anything.

Jiang Yun didn't pay attention, just continued to watch.

After a while, he heard the person next to him talking.

“…… Senior Brother Zhang is really getting stronger and stronger, and I think his funeral flower swordsmanship is becoming more and more perfect. This time, he will be able to make it true! ”

"Senior Brother Wang is not bad, you see, his funeral qi system is also very powerful, and his internal strength is agitated, I can still feel the power of it when I stand so far away!"

"But it's still far worse than Senior Brother Zhang."

"That's, don't look at who Senior Brother Zhang is. If you want me to say, Senior Sister Lu has also relied on her family background to become a true inheritance, so she has the current level, but our Senior Brother Zhang is not bad, if you don't look at the internal qi realm just than swordsmanship, Lu Jiuxue may not be as strong as Senior Brother Zhang! ”

When Jiang Yun heard this, he couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
