Chapter Eighty-Eight: Assessment-Careless Zhang Long
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the third day, on this day, the annual inner door assessment of Wanjian Villa had begun, and through this assessment, the strongest ten people were selected from hundreds of outer disciples to enter the inner gate, and the fastest and most uncontroversial way was to directly compete on the platform to see the true chapter.
Xiang Yang and Xiao Mei had already used the transmission note to communicate with each other last night, so very early, the two of them set off from Qingling Peak to Wanjian Mountain together.
"Senior Sister Xiao, how do you feel?" Xiang Yang said with a smile as he saw that the aura in Xiao Mei's body had become much stronger than the previous two days.
"Senior Brother Xiang Yang's cultivation fruit, I feel much stronger now than before. Xiao Mei looked at Xiang Yang gratefully.
"Haha, try it out for a while, and try to get into the inner door. Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Well, I try. Xiao Mei nodded.
Soon, the two came to Wanjian Mountain, today's Wanjian Mountain looks extremely lively, and the surrounding buildings are covered with some banners, which read, such as: "Suffer a spring, summer, autumn and winter, for a lifetime without regrets", "Today, I should not let the cold door do penance, I should not let it; the Ming Dynasty dominates, who else will I be", "Ascetic cultivators, the sky does not bear, the whole equipment is warned, the fighting spirit is high, and the selection of the sect is accepted"......
With the sound of drums, the atmosphere around them had already been ignited, and the major reference disciples stood on their sides, everyone looked like they were fighting and ceremonial.
And many inner disciples also stood on other high places and watched the grand scene in front of the martial arts platform.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Lin Jiang also cares about this group of outer disciples competing today?" Cheng Buyi said with a smile.
"No, I'm just looking at one person. Lin Jiang looked at the place where Xiang Yang was from a distance and said lightly.
"It's Xiang Yang, who is known as the strongest outer disciple? haha, if anyone fights him, it is better to surrender directly. Although Cheng Buyi had prejudices against Xiang Yang because of Ge Lin, as time went by, he had to admit that Xiang Yang's strength was indeed the best in the outer door.
"How is Greene?" asked Lin Jiang.
"He, thanks to this Xiang Yang, he has rested for more than ten days, and he is much better, and he has gone to Xiongzhi Pavilion again yesterday. Cheng Buyi still has some nostalgia for mentioning this, after all, Ge Lin and he have been friends for many years.
"That's fine. Lin Jiang nodded.
"By the way, Senior Brother Zhao Fei, it is rumored that his Tianyuan Qiankun Sword has been practiced to a very high level, and I heard that even some descendants are not necessarily much stronger than Senior Brother Zhao Fei. Cheng Buyi asked.
"Senior Brother Zhao Fei, he is not interested in watching these outer disciples compete, next year's selection of descendants will also begin, this year failed to succeed, Senior Brother Zhao Fei has suffered some blows, so now Senior Brother Zhao Fei is making every preparation. Lin Jiang thought of the inheritance assessment in the first half of this year, Zhao Fei, as the strongest inner disciple, challenged Qin Jian, the weakest disciple of the rumored lineage, and defeated more than 100 hands, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"The descendants are still too strong, although there are advanced assessments of the descendants every year, but for so many years, there are few successes. Cheng Buyi seemed to be saying that it was none of his business, because his strength was too big for the descendants of the disciples, so he had no extravagant expectations for the assessment of the descendants and looked at it indifferently.
"Yes, okay, let's take a look at this year's outer disciple assessment, I'm afraid it's very interesting. Lin Jiang showed a faint smile.
And Xiang Yang and Xiao Mei found a gap in the crowd and got in, because there were too many people, there were many outer disciples who were referenced, and there were also many outer disciples who did not come to join in the fun.
Soon, on the martial arts platform of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, an old man appeared, and Xiang Yang fixed his eyes, isn't this Elder Lin who appeared in the Sword Pavilion that day.
"This inner disciple assessment, by the old man as the referee, the rules are very simple, first, the basic rule is one-on-one heads-up, pets can not be brought, except for those who repair puppetry, second, deliberately ruthless, causing serious injury or death, then immediately cancel the reference qualification, and transfer to the Ten Thousand Swords Law Enforcement Department, third, magic weapons, weapons and other foreign objects, but allowed to be used in the competition, fourth, the two sides fight until one side loses the ability to fight or admits defeat or is knocked out of the ring. That's all the basic rules, the old man announced, the 1201 Inner Gate Assessment of Wanjian Villa will start now!!" Elder Lin read out the rules of the assessment.
As soon as the words fell, the audience remembered the thunderous cry.
"First of all, draw lots to decide the roles to participate in the battle, and fight round by round until there are only 10 people left, maybe some people say that it is unfair, as soon as they come, they will draw a strong opponent, the old man's words are, luck itself is part of the strength, everything is subject to the will of heaven, come on!" Elder Lin gave an order, and the two outer disciples carried the box of the draw to the center of the competition platform.
"The disciples of the reference are out!" Elder Lin's extremely majestic voice sounded.
Soon, one by one, the outer disciples walked onto the martial arts platform, and the number was extremely large, I am afraid that there were hundreds, and Elder Lin frowned, secretly saying Why are there so many people this year.
"Let's line up and draw lots one by one. One of the outer disciples said respectfully, these people are the inner disciples in the future, and it is always right to be polite.
Xiang Yang and Xiao Mei lined up together, and soon, the two of them each grabbed a paper ball.
Xiang Yang gently opened the paper ball, only to see that 11 was written on it, and he should be the eleventh competition.
"Senior Sister Xiao, how many are you?" asked Xiang Yang.
"Senior Brother Xiang Yang, I'm No. 2. Xiao Mei showed Xiang Yang the number she had drawn.
"I'm number 11, get ready, it'll be your turn soon. Xiang Yang nodded and encouraged.
"Well, Senior Brother Xiang Yang, I'll do my best. Xiao Mei had some determination in her expression.
Elder Lin watched everyone get their own signatures, and said majestically, "Who is No. 55?"
"I ...... What's wrong?" said an outer disciple tremblingly.
"You have a bye, go straight to the next round. Elder Lin nodded and said.
"Yay!" the outer disciple jumped up happily, and many other outer disciples looked at him with some indignation.
"Look at him so happy that he is like a stupid X" "Be happy now, so as not to cry in the next round" "Wait for grandpa, I will repair him in the next round"
Many outer disciples looked at this man and exchanged their heads with indignation.
"For the rest, you all take a good look at the number in your hand, start from 1 and play backwards until the two of No. 54 are over, and below, except for the two of No. 1, the others will go down. Elder Lin said majestically.
Soon, except for the two people on the stage, all the reference disciples went down.
"The first session of the inner door assessment has officially begun!!" shouted the outer disciple who was in charge of shouting on the sidelines.
Knock knock knock - the sound of gongs and drums sounded.
"Chen Shan" "Zhao Hong"
After the two of them finished reporting their names, they drew their swords and began to dismantle back and forth.
"Senior Brother Xiang Yang, I'm so nervous. Xiao Mei looked a little nervous when she watched the two people on the stage fight so fiercely.
"Don't be afraid, just play your best. Xiang Yang could only encourage her in this clumsy way.
Xiang Yang could see that Xiao Mei had obviously not experienced too many battles, and what a martial artist needed most was not only the realm power, but also the essence of battle comprehended in the life-and-death struggle.
The two of them on the stage, you sword me and I sword, after dismantling dozens of moves, Chen Shan burst into a shout and kicked Zhao Hong out of the court.
"I won, haha. Chen Shan jumped up happily, while Zhao Hong slowly got up, holding his injured arm and leaving in a gloomy manner.
"The battle is over, please take a break and prepare for the next round of the competition - next, the second test of the inner gate, ready to start, and invite the two reference warriors of No. 2 to come to the stage. The outer disciple shouted.
"Senior Brother Xiang Yang, I'm on ......" Xiao Mei said with a tight breath, Xiang Yang could see that her hands were shaking, which was enough to show the nervousness in her heart.
"Well, come on. Xiang Yang gave Xiao Mei an encouraging look, and Xiao Mei responded with a faint smile.
Subsequently, Xiao Mei and a strong man stood on the competition platform together, looking extremely incongruous, and the outer disciple who was in charge of shouting saw that the two had already come to the stage, cleared his throat, and shouted:
"The second session of the inner door assessment has officially begun!!"
Knock knock knock - the passionate drum sounded again, Xiang Yang looked at Xiao Mei, and he was worried about her in his heart.
"Zhang Long" "Xiao Mei." ”
After the two reported their names respectively, Zhang Long saw that Xiao Mei seemed powerless, and his heart was ecstatic, he didn't expect to meet a soft persimmon in the first battle, and he was really lucky.
Zhang Long took the preemptive action, pulled out his long sword, and stabbed at Xiao Mei suddenly, Xiao Mei couldn't care much, and hurriedly drew his sword to resist.
Under the staggered weapons, the situation seemed to be one-sided, Zhang Long's swordsmanship dance made Xiao Mei only have the power to parry, Zhang Long's expression was even more proud, he could see that Xiao Mei's swordsmanship level was really average, and he was not his opponent at all.
"The Zhang family's swordsmanship - overwhelming!"
Zhang Long jumped into the air suddenly, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he wanted to end the battle with a sword, but he didn't notice that the corners of Xiao Mei's mouth, who had been struggling to defend at this time, curved slightly.
"Drink!!" Zhang Long slashed away.
"Xiao family's leg method, hang the golden hook upside down!" Xiao Mei put away the sword, her body suddenly became extremely agile, her hands supported the ground, and then she slammed back with a barb leg, this leg happened to kick Zhang Long in the air, Zhang Long's eyes widened, and he was kicked out of the ring like a ball.
"I'll lean on ......" These were the last words of Zhang Long, who rolled in the air, and then fell outside the ring with a puff, shaking his head and standing up in embarrassment.
"Promise, hee-hee. Xiao Mei smiled at Zhang Long.
"The battle is over, please take a break and prepare for the next round of the competition - next, the third game of the inner door assessment, ready to start, and invite the two reference warriors of the 3rd to the stage. The outer disciple continued to shout.
"Referee!!I don't accept it, her strength is obviously not as strong as mine!" Zhang Long roared frantically.
"The protest is invalid, go down. Elder Lin said lightly, this belongs to Zhang Long's own carelessness, no wonder others.
Zhang Long snorted helplessly, and then left in hatred, and Xiao Mei also returned to the audience.
