Chapter 41: The First Name
After Su Yan left the Four Princes, she once again won several tokens, and at this time, there were as many as two hundred and forty-three tokens in her hand, firmly occupying the first place on the Tianmu list.
It wasn't until the Ministry of Rites Shangshu announced: "This recruitment competition of the Five Great Sword Academies, the national capital selection competition, and the preliminary round are over!"
She was wrapped in a dragon-shaped light, flew into the sky with the national capital, looked at the people under her and the many high-ranking officials and royal families in front of her, smiled coldly, and stood proudly.
However, her gaze swept over the figures of many contestants, but she stared at a delicate girl who was waving at the people below, and her eyes were slightly surprised: "I didn't expect that the girl I met in the Treasure Zhai that day was only the third layer of the Sword Courage Realm, and she could pass the competition." ”
After announcing the list of candidates for the semi-finals in a hurry, he waved his hand again, and the picture on the canopy turned to the Royal Martial Arts Arena, announcing: "The people who have advanced to the semi-finals this time, a total of 274 people, less than 1,000 people, the repechage match will be held as scheduled, and at that time, one hundred and twenty-six people will be selected to participate in the semi-finals." The competition will be held two days later at the Royal Arena. ”
"As for the young monks who have already qualified for the semi-finals, they will stay in the palace, and the palace will hold a banquet to entertain you later. ”
As he spoke, a dragon-shaped light flew one after another, holding the contestants to the ground, and after thanking the emperor, he was led by a beautiful palace lady to the resting residence.
As soon as the palace ladies left, the contestants immediately chatted together in groups of three or five, discussing this competition.
"It's so thrilling, this time, I almost didn't make the cut, speaking of which, I'm also an outstanding disciple of our Yuan Mengcheng, and I almost got the seeded player!"
"Hehe, who here doesn't have two brushes? You are nothing at all, you know, I have fought with my son of the county keeper of Poplar County, and narrowly prevailed! When I arrived at the place where the royal family was trained, didn't I have to shrink up and dare not make any moves?"
"Speaking of which, I just saw that on the list of heavenly canopies, there are several people who have won hundreds of tokens, and these people are all strong enemies!"
"Yes, the sons of the lords of the prefectures, the sons of the high-ranking officials of the capitals, and even the princes, are they not all great? However, under my attention, I found that Fu Yeyi, the son of the lord of the Dazhou Mansion, was not on the list, and his name dimmed. I don't know what kind of powerful enemy he defeated him?"
Su Yan listened to everyone's discussions, smiled to himself, and strode towards the residence, but heard a delicate voice sound: "You guy, hey, I called you." ”
As he spoke, a strong wind danced in his ears, Su Yan's eyebrows furrowed, and he staggered.
I saw a delicate girl caught off guard, and almost fell to the ground, muttering: "You guy, why did you hide so fast? I just want to ask your name, and thank you for saving your life." ”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the pretty girl's face that was flushed with anger, and smiled slightly: "You rashly appeared behind me, I want to dodge." ”
"You guy, I want to thank you. The delicate girl's lips pursed, and then she reluctantly stretched out a hand and said, "My father said that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring... You didn't kick me out during the game, but helped me out of big trouble... I should thank you. ”
The girl's expression was very reluctant, but there was a hint of sincerity in her voice.
Su Yan smiled when he heard this, and said: "You don't need to thank you, you can stand out from the crowd, you must have your own means, and this kindness is naturally impossible to talk about." ”
The pretty girl looked at Su Yan's back as she turned around and left, and said loudly: "Then you have to tell me a name, my name is You Lanlan." ”
"Su Yan. ”
A cold voice came, ethereal like an immortal, and before everyone could react, they saw that Su Yan's figure had disappeared behind the door.
"Su Yan?"
"Isn't that the first place in this competition? how can it be such a young girl?" the crowd immediately began to discuss.
"Yes, I remember! I used to watch Fu Yeyi chase down a girl from afar... Could it be that she defeated Fu Yeyi?" a young monk muttered in shock.
"Impossible! How could she kick Fu Yeyi and Fu Gongzi out of the game? It must be that she specially picked up the leaks, so she won the first place!"
A richly dressed noble son's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "It must be like this! How old is this girl, how can she kick out Fu Yeyi, who is already twenty years old this year? Even if she has been cultivating since her mother's womb, there is no reason for this!"
The young monk's lips twitched slightly, and he muttered, "Yes, perhaps, I was wrong..."
A stunning man dressed in a jade brocade robe and wearing a dark purple belt with a thunder pattern belt tied around his waist looked at Su Yan's door, a touch of war intent rose in his eyes, and he muttered: "Su Yan..."
In the room, Su Yan carefully took out the 'Blood Drinking Rainbow Sword' from Fu Yeyi's hand from the dantian, looking at this long sword that trembled as soon as it was taken out, he muttered in his heart: "This long sword is really good, with my divine soul, I can't forcibly subdue the sword soul in its sword body!"
"The sword has a spirit, and he has already recognized the master, and that Fu Yeyi has a great background, and the family has fed this sword with blood for generations, and this sword must know the blood of its master, so it is naturally unwilling to let others be the master easily. Teng Snake explained.
Su Yan's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of loss: "It's really uncomfortable to have a heavenly superlative magic weapon in your hand, but you can't use it." ”
"Look at your shallow-eyed, mere heavenly grade magic weapon, it makes you so worried, don't you already have the heavenly inferior long sword given to you by the four princes in your hand? Let's make do with it first, and when you get to the sword casting courtyard, it's not too late for you to temper the sword by yourself!"
Su Yan smiled bitterly: "Now, my Nine Dragons and Ten Elephant Skills have just broken through to the second and third layers, and now my opponents are all ninth-level cultivators of the Sword and Courage Realm. I don't know what this former Ten Thousand Swords Academy took a fancy to this little county lord, and even ordered her as a special move when she was still the ninth layer of the Sword Yuan Realm!"
Originally, she thought that she could easily enter the Five Great Sword Academies with the second-level cultivation of the Nine Dragons Ten Elephant Gong, but now that she saw that the capital was full of talents, her heart was full of anxiety.
It's just that the third-order demon pill in her hand has been exhausted in the competition arena right now, and the second-order demon pill has little effect on her, so she can only choose to improve her soul.
Su Yan sat cross-legged and meditated, looking at the twenty-one ancient characters that had been captured in his mind, and muttered: "Let me try, can I capture all these ancient characters before the final finals!"
