A week passed in a flash, and in the early morning of this day, Xu Yi had just finished refining a furnace of elixir and was pulled by the excited Zhang Xinxin to the inner gate main altar.

On weekdays, the inner gate is quite quiet, and there are not many people.

This is related to the particularity of the inner gate, because the vast majority of inner disciples are actually not on the peak of genius, but practice at the peaks of various families, so people who come here are relatively rare.

However, every three months, there is always a lot of excitement here. Because at this time, it is the day when all the inner disciples compete for the right to challenge the top ten rings.

Outside the main altar, ten huge flags had already been erected, and under each banner there were two inner disciples in charge of registration.

Xu Yi fixed his eyes and saw that the ten flags were embroidered with the name of this person and the peaks to which they belonged.

He only recognized one of the flags, the first peak Yuanfei.

Zhang Xinxin explained in a low voice: "Each flag here represents a ring, and every disciple has a chance to challenge, and they can choose a ring to register. Well, someone has already started. ”

At this time, under the ten flags, people had already stepped forward one after another, took out their disciple nameplates and began to register. And every person who comes forward is extraordinary, and when the dragon walks the tiger, it seems to be a world of its own.

Obviously, those who have the courage to register are at least human-level high-level cultivators.

"When does the ring fight start?" asked Xu Yi.

"Registration in the morning, it will start in the afternoon. Zhang Xinxin said with a grin, "They have to play a knockout round first, and at the end of each ring, they have to choose the strongest challenger, and only they are qualified to challenge the defender." ”

Xu Yi nodded slowly, this mechanism is somewhat similar to the boxing championship on the blue star. The defenders actually take advantage of some advantages, but those who can stand in front of the defenders must be the strongest who have fought in countless battles, and this kind of challenge is the most exciting.

"The defenders have a choice, they pick one day in the three months to play the challenger, and the winner qualifies for the defender. ”

"Within three months?" Xu Yi was slightly stunned.

"yes, any day in three months. Zhang Xinxin nodded slightly, "Don't feel unfair, the defenders are also killed step by step, and they are basically human level nine, once they have a whim, they will hit the ground level, but they don't have so much time to be ready to deal with challenges at any time." ”

Xu Yi suddenly realized that for those ninth-level powerhouses of the human rank, the most important thing for them was not to defend, but how to impact the ground level.

No matter how strong a disciple is, he is always a disciple, but once he is promoted to the ground level, he is the protector of the sect. It is clear which of the two is more important.

Xu Yi observed for a moment and was surprised to find something. The number of people who signed up under these ten flags was not the same.

Among them, Yuan Fei and Yi Lu of Pingyang Peak were undoubtedly the most conspicuous people, because the number of people who came to register under their banner was the smallest.

"Who is this Senior Brother Yilu?" asked Xu Yi softly.

"Senior Brother Yi Lu, he is a senior disciple of Pingyang Peak, and you have also seen his master. ”

Xu Yi's heart moved slightly, and he immediately thought of the white-haired old man he met when he went to the Eight Immortals Cave.

"His master is He Heng's Dharma Protector?"

"Yes, although He Heng Protector is not the peak master of Pingyang Peak, his cultivation is the first person in Pingyang Peak. The peak of the ninth level of the earth level, it is said that it is pregnant with true intentions, and it will hit the heavenly position at any time. Zhang Xinxin's face was excited, "If he succeeds in promoting to the heavenly position, Pingyang Peak will be really amazing." ”

Zhang Xinxin's eyes cruised outside the inner gate, and said: "Although our Skillful Weapon Sect does not have a combat power list, what Senior Brother Yi Lu is practicing is Vajra Chaos Duel, and he also has the talent and supernatural power of copper skin and iron bones, which can be regarded as an alternative high-level invincible. ”

Xu Yi's eyelids twitched slightly, another high-level invincible, this skillful weapon is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the strong are like clouds.

"What about the rest?"

"To be able to become a defender, they are all the best in the ninth level of the human rank. The corners of Zhang Xinxin's mouth twitched, "But if you want to say that the high-level is invincible, there are only two senior brothers, Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Brother Yi." Hmph, those who signed up to challenge them didn't really want to win, but they knew that they were not playing, so they wanted to see the strength of high-level invincibility, and such a battle would be very beneficial to their cultivation. ”

Xu Yi nodded silently, I see, this can be regarded as a strategic choice.

Suddenly, Zhang Xinxin said excitedly: "Look, my sister is here." ”

There was a low commotion from the crowd, and almost all eyes were focused on the mountain path.

Although there are a lot of inner disciples who come here, most of them are not signed up to fight. They are only here to watch the battle, and being able to observe a battle of this level is extremely beneficial for them.

But at this moment, when they saw the woman in white walking slowly on the mountain road, everyone had a feeling of amazement.

Zhang Miaoyan was dressed in white and walked in a fluttering manner, her steps seemed to be slow, but in the blink of an eye, she had come to the center of the venue.

"Who is this?"

"You don't know? ”

"It turned out to be her. ”

"Yes, she's finally going to start the challenge, and I don't know who is so unlucky to be targeted by her. ”

Zhang Miaoyan's beautiful eyes flowed, her gaze was as cold as ice, and anyone who touched her eyes couldn't help but take the initiative to look away.

Xu Yi also shuddered, and Zhang Miaoyan seemed to have changed at this time, and she felt a little bit like she didn't recognize her six relatives. However, Xu Yi is not surprised, with Zhang Miaoyan's identity and appearance, if he is still approachable, he can pay it back.

Gentle as water, it's enough to give yourself. As for the others, it's better to keep your distance.

Zhang Miaoyan's gaze turned on the ten flags, as if she was thinking about which ring to choose.

"Senior sister, who is the weakest?" asked Xu Yi.

Zhang Xinxin shook his head slightly and said, "Except for Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Brother Yi, the rest are similar in strength, and it is difficult to judge. ”

"Oh, then who do you think Senior Sister will pick?"

Zhang Xinxin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Senior Brother Yi." ”

"Ah, what?" Xu Yi was slightly stunned, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears.

"Sister, this person is the most arrogant, either don't do it, or you have to be the best and strongest. Zhang Xinxin said softly, "She has long had the idea of challenging the first person in the sect's human rank, but Senior Brother Yuan is also a disciple of the first peak, so it is inconvenient for her to make a move, so Senior Brother Yi is the only choice." ”

Xu Yi gasped.

Zhang Miaoyan is now only the eighth level of the human rank, does she have the pursuit of the first person in the human level of the sect?

In comparison, I don't live too salty?

Finally, Zhang Miaoyan in the center of the venue took a step forward and came to a flag.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were wide in disbelief.

Pingyang Peak, Yilu!
