Chapter 25: The Battle of the Top Eight
I'm going to lose?
After more than an hour of fighting, this Great Perfection Realm martial cultivator finally exhausted his spiritual power, and without paying attention, he was forced off the Dharma platform by the vein-building minor cultivator in front of him.
However, his eyes were full of unwillingness and confusion, how could he be a Great Perfection Realm cultivator, how could he fall to such a point.
Every attack was almost dodged by him, and then in the end, he exhausted his aura alive.
Too bad luck, it must be too bad luck, damn it!
This Great Perfection Martial Cultivator looked unwilling, but he still took care of his face, and finally chose to leave quietly.
Yang Nian wiped his sweat, after more than an hour of fighting, his consumption was not small.
In fact, Yang Nian is not without a quick battle method, and so far, he has not used the Spirit Guarding Sword and the Heart-Urging Palm.
In the face of such a Great Perfection martial cultivator with a conservative fighting style, he was more willing to use it to hone his swordsmanship.
After all, even if you know the air, you are only practicing on your own, and it is different from the actual battle.
In his opinion, this Great Perfection Martial Cultivator, who has only condensed three tricks, is higher than Tian Lun's cultivation, but it is also limited, and his martial arts are ordinary, and he has no killing moves, so his threat to him is not as good as Tian Lun.
It should be because he only condensed three orifices, this should be the limit of this person, he estimates that he can only stop here, and never step into the Qi Martial Realm.
This is the sorrow of the outer disciples, even if they go to the last step, because of their limited qualifications, they will never be able to step into the upper realm.
If Yang Nian hadn't fought for the opportunity by himself, I'm afraid he would not be as good as this Great Perfection Cultivator, and it would be a question of whether he could cross the later stage of the Conjoined Body Martial Realm.
So far, Yang Nian has participated in the martial arts competition for five days, and he has defeated all the way as a small repairer.
However, if you want to talk about the strength of the opponent, Tian Lun is the strongest.
After today's war, they entered the top 16.
The battle of the top eight is scheduled for three days later, and the outer court specially gives the disciples of the top 16 more time to prepare and rest.
Yang Nian was about to go back to Dongpingshan Nianfu, when an eleven or twelve-year-old boy suddenly came to him before leaving.
This little boy actually had the cultivation of quenching blood at the peak, so he took the confused Yang Nian to a slightly secluded corner of the martial arts training ground, and gave him a jade bottle.
Yang Nian was playing with a jade bottle, which contained several pills commonly used in vein-building martial arts cultivation.
"Are you saying that this is the ...... given to me by Uncle Zhang Lin, and what else did he say?" Yang Nian asked.
Although the blood-quenching boy didn't talk about it, Yang Nian saw that his qualifications were very good, and said that he came with Zhang Lin, and most of them were inner disciples.
I saw him expressionless and said: "I just have to talk, Uncle Zhang said that if you understand, you will naturally understand, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand." ”
He glanced at Yang Nian with disgust, and left without looking back.
Hehe, although he is young, his tone is arrogant, and he is indeed the appearance of an inner disciple
If Yang Nian may not have understood before, how can I not understand now?
If this Zhang Lin had the slightest memory of Yang Nian's kindness for the aid in the past, he would have come to the outer courtyard to visit Yang Nian in the past few years, but he didn't.
At this time, when I met in the martial arts, I asked someone to send a bottle of pills, but I didn't come in person, obviously indicating that this bottle of pills returned the previous favor, and I don't want to mention the past when I see it in the future.
The true disciple is so powerful, but this little ghost is not strong enough, how can he give it a qi martial pill!
Yang Nian was a person who had experienced wind and frost and experienced the heat and coldness of the world in his previous life, and he didn't feel much indignation at Zhang Lin's thin feelings.
He had never thought of intersecting with this genius boy.
As for this elixir, it is not in vain.
As soon as Yang Nian stepped into the cave, he saw Ling Yan smile and said, "Ye won easily again." ”
Yang Nian said with a smile: "Where is it easy, this time it is a Great Perfection Martial Cultivator." ”
Ling Yan exaggeratedly covered his mouth and said: "Even the Great Perfection is not the master's opponent, this time the martial arts master is only afraid that he will become famous in one battle." ”
Yang Nian shook his head and said, "It's just a mediocre person who has condensed the three tricks, and you can win it too." ”
He paused and said, "You need to do something for me." ”
Ling Yan asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Nian only said two words: "Fu You." ”
After Ling Yan left, Yang Nian entered the secret room spirit cave again to retreat.
In Zhikong, Yang Nian carefully reviewed his fighting experience, especially his swordsmanship, and reappeared in Zhikong one by one.
These battles, Yang Nian basically won them with the prediction of spiritual sense and the high-grade martial arts Thousand Hands Sword Technique.
He wondered if the two could be one.
As soon as this thought came out, he seemed to have an epiphany in his heart, but he didn't see it, as if it was in his heart, but he couldn't touch it and couldn't see it.
If it is someone else, or the mind is shaken by this kind of epiphany thought, the mind is uncertain.
But Yang Nian is a strong-willed person.
In his opinion, although the opportunity for such an epiphany is good, if it is impossible to think about it for a while, it should be put down.
If you force it, you will risk going mad.
I don't think about it, even if I don't have it again, there's nothing to be sorry about.
The retreat time flies by.
Yang Nian suddenly felt something, returned to reality from the sky, and found that three days and two nights had passed, and tomorrow was the day of the top eight martial arts competition.
He walked out of the secret room, Ling Yan was already waiting outside the door, and said with a smile: "If the master doesn't come out, the concubine is only afraid that she will ring the door bell, and the things have been brought back, you can take a look." ”
Yang Nian took the jade box and opened it to see that the three spirit runes were faintly glowing.
In his spiritual sense, he clearly felt that these three spirit runes were full of spiritual energy, and they should have been newly made recently, although they were both low-grade spirit runes, and the texture was better than his previous two.
He sighed secretly in his heart: Fu Yu is indeed reliable.
Ling Yan next to him was a little puzzled: "This spirit arrow talisman is the main attack, and the light spirit talisman can be accelerated, but this wind shield talisman is mostly used in team battles, sweeping away those scattered arrows and hidden weapons, what is the use of the ring competition?"
Yang Nian smiled: "Master is useful." Has the arrangement for the quarterfinals been announced?"
Ling Yan took out a list and said, "It's all out, this outer courtyard has also specially made a list battle map, guess who your opponent is?"
Yang Nian said: "But what about Wu Lin?"
Ling Yan's eyes widened and said, "How do you know?"
Yang Nian said: "Among the top sixteen, only me and Wu Lin are at the pulse building level, and most of the rest are Great Perfection, and even those at the condensation level are rare. ”
Yang Nian opened the list, with sixteen names written on it, and he was ranked on the sixth platform, and his opponent was Wu Lin.
Ling Yan said, "You mean, they deliberately want to let the two Pulse Building Rank Martial Cultivators compete?"
Yang Nian said: "You should also hear that Wu Lin has been accepted as a disciple by Zhang Lin, right?"
Ling Yan smiled and said, "Of course, Wu Lin almost said when he saw people, for fear that others would not know, it was really high-profile. ”
Yang Nian said: "If Shi Yuan wants to please Zhang Lin, he will pick a soft persimmon for him and pinch it." ”
Ling Yan's eyes rolled and he smiled: "This time he is only afraid that he will kick the iron plate." ”
Yang Nian said with a smile: "Yan'er is now more and more pleasing to the master. If you are on stage, you can also compete for a place. ”
Ling Yan'er pouted: "Yan'er is not that interested, Yan'er just needs to serve the good master." ”
Yang Nian ignored her coquettishness, and looked closely at the names on the list, Qi Shouyang, Shi Wenjing, Huo Tong, and Wu Lin were naturally on the list, and some were also well-known people in the outer courtyard, and Rong Junhong was also on the list.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar name: Feng Yuansheng.
Yang Nian immediately remembered the heroic senior brother that day, thinking that he was also at the condensation level.
So who is Feng Yuansheng's opponent?
Yang Nian looked at it again, and raised his eyebrows: Huo Tong?
In the city of Wujiang, a courtyard.
After reading the letter, Huo Tong's face was excited, and he muttered, "This ...... Is this true? Big brother, can I really enter the Chen family and become an inner disciple?"
There was a blue-robed man sitting next to him, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then threw the wine glass, and said coldly: "The dignified Chen family, could it be that he will deceive you into a small cultivation of the physical realm?"
This person is Huo Tong's cousin Huo Lie, who is a cultivator of the Dou Qi Rank.
Huo Tong hurriedly bowed to the end and said: "Yes, yes, the little brother lost his words, I just blame the little brother for being too excited!"
"But it's no wonder that you, from the outer courtyard to the disciple of the true lineage, such a good thing is unheard of for me. Senior Brother Chen Yufeng is the third true lineage of our faction, and he is also the bloodline of the Chen family, and he is the top existence among his peers, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the True Martial Realm, and it is even very possible to take charge of the Chen family in the future. You have become his disciple, and you will soar in the future, and you will not forget your cousin in the future. ”
Huo Tong actually had a fluttering feeling for a moment, but seeing Huo Lie's smiling expression, he hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "The little brother can have today, it is all because of the eldest brother's support, and the little brother will never dare to forget it." “
Huo Lie smiled and said, "Don't be so serious. ”
He walked a few steps, looked out the window and said, "Do you know how you got this chance?" ”
Huo Tong followed behind like a follower, and said cautiously: "I heard that it is the new rules of the sect, and the true lineage of the sect can stand on its own, but the disciples can only be selected from the outer courtyard." ”
Huo Lie sighed: "Then have you thought about it carefully, family disciples like me all select talents from the clan, and the family disciples are all admitted to the inner gate. Choosing disciples from outside the sect is really not in line with the rules of our family, nor is it in line with the foundation of our family. ”
Huo Tong was stunned and said, "...... so?"
Huo Lie slapped the table and said, "That's right! This new regulation is really promoted by the French system in the door, and it is an offensive against the bloodline. If the true disciples of our family family give up the opportunity to choose disciples from the outer sect, then the Dharma system will be one step ahead. ”
Huo Tong was dumbfounded when he heard this, he had also heard of the dispute between the bloodline and the law system in the door, but he didn't think that this matter was also involved.
Huo Lie sighed and said to himself: "Last time, I waited for the family to plant a heel on Zhang Lin, and this time no matter how bad it is, we can't give up, so we have to find some disciples close to the family in the outer courtyard to cultivate." ”
He finally looked at Huo Tong: "You are also a relative of the Chen family, and you can barely be said to be a distant relative of the family, so the Chen family picked you, do you understand?"
Huo Tong immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "It's all about the support of the eldest brother, if there is no eldest brother, how can the Chen family know that there is such a person?"
In fact, it was just when the Chen family needed to support someone in the outer courtyard that Huo Lie took advantage of the situation, and this matter was also beneficial to him, otherwise he would not be a cousin, or a brother-in-law, and with Huo Lie's temperament, he would not stand out for him.
Huo Lie said slowly: "Fortunately, you are not bad in the outer courtyard. However, the opportunity must also rely on your own strength to grasp it, if you don't fight for your own family, not only will you lose a thousand good opportunities, but you will also affect me, and even delay the family's plan! If so, then you will never give up!"
He spoke calmly at first, but by the end he was already speaking harshly.
Huo Tong was startled at first, and then said loudly: "Big brother, don't worry. Since the younger brother got to pass on that exercise, he has achieved a small success, and he feels that his chances of winning have increased greatly, and he has not revealed his bottom so far, no matter who he faces, he will not lose!"
Huo Lie finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "The previous competition was nothing, and after that, it was a test. Your opponent tomorrow, but Nantang Feng Yuansheng?"
Huo Tong was surprised: "Cousin, do you know him?"
It must be known that Huo Lie's family has no interest in the outer court, and he actually knows a disciple of the outer court who is not very famous, which naturally surprises him.
Huo Lie smiled slightly: "Don't worry, tomorrow's battle, you will win for your brother!"
Early in the morning, the quarterfinals were about to begin.
Yang Nian still arrived early, still standing with Rong Junhong.
Different from the martial arts competition on the first day, this time the disciples in the audience were silent, and they all held their breath and looked at the high platform of Guanwu.
There were seven chairs on the Guanwu platform, and Shi Yuan, the master of the outer courtyard, had already arrived early, but he did not sit on any of the chairs.
These seven chairs are the special seats of the seven true traditions, and even the masters of the outer courtyard dare not sit without permission.
Yang Nian's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Today's martial arts, could it be that these seven true legends will come?"
Rong Junhong said: "It should be so!"
After a while, three clear lights flew in and stopped steadily on the viewing platform.
Yang Nian's spiritual sense secretly investigated, it was Russell Xin, Zhang Lin, and a person with a dark face, a heroic bearing, and a majestic and mighty person.
This person is tall and stands out standing beside the weak Russell Xin and the young Zhang Lin.
Rong Junhong said: "This person's name is Qu Hui, and he is the fourth true legend of the sect. ”
After the four of them had seen the salute, the three True Transmission disciples sat down on the three chairs on the west side.
After a while, three more clear rays of light flew and landed on the stage.
The first person wears the crown of the king and grandson, his eyes are bright, his face is not angry and arrogant, and he has the momentum of a superior person, and he is already a great consummation of the Qi Martial Realm.
Yang Nian was deeply jealous of this person, but only looked at it slightly, and did not dare to use his spiritual sense to look more, so as not to be noticed by the other party.
He was followed by a man and a woman, the man was heroic and handsome, and the woman was soft and gentle, beautiful and moving.
After greeting those who had arrived first, they sat down on the three seats on the east side.
So only the middle chair was empty.
Listening to Rong Junhong said again: "The first one is Chen Yufeng, the second true lineage of the sect, he is the descendant of the Chen family, and the last two are the fifth and sixth true lineages Shi Kun and Fang Han, the Shi family and the Fang family are both prominent clans of the sect. Hehe, the bloodline disciples are in the east, and the Dharma disciples are in the west, which is also too clear. ”
The Shi family should be the same family as Shi Potian that day.
Yang Nian's heart moved, and he asked, "What is the bloodline method?"
Rong Junhong said: "The junior brother has not entered the mountain gate, so he doesn't know. ”
He roughly talked about the relationship, what kind of character Yang Nian is, it is easy to understand at one point.
He asked, "Where's the boss?"
Rong Junhong said with a smile: "That's a good question, the head of the sect is naturally transcendent, but Russell is closer to the disciples of the law system." ”
Yang Nian secretly thought: Russell Xin is not only the head of the family, but also more or less shows the attitude of the head of the house.
On the stage, after seeing the three true disciples of the family seated, Luo Suxin motioned to Shi Yuandao: "Courtyard master, you can start." ”
Shi Yuan was stunned, glanced at the hollow seat, and didn't dare to ask more.
He walked to the side of the stage, straightened his robe, and said loudly: "The competition of the top eight, start now! Disciples, you have to go up to your own platform." ”
Shi Kun looked at Chen Yufeng, who looked indifferent, and coughed lightly: "Third Senior Sister, why didn't Senior Brother come?"
Russell said indifferently: "I only know that he won't come, and I don't know why." ”
Shi Kunqi said: "Senior Brother didn't come, but he asked me to wait how to choose a disciple?
Russell said: "This matter is okay, you can choose with confidence." The people he wants, others can't pick away. ”
Shi Kun nodded as if he had realized something.
Suddenly, Fang Han said "ah" and said, "You see, the No. 3 Dharma Platform has already divided the winner and loser. ”
I saw that it was Huo Tong and Feng Yuansheng standing on the No. 3 Dharma platform.
Just as the judgment announced the start of the competition, Feng Yuansheng said with a long smile: "No need to compare! Senior Brother Huo is a member of the Chen clan, the elite of the family, and my Nantang Feng clan is incomparable." ”
The judge frowned and said, "Feng Yuansheng, there is no joke, you have thought clearly!"
Feng Yuansheng said loudly: "Of course, Feng voluntarily admits defeat!"
