Chapter 291: Direct Promotion

"Alright, today's game is about to start, let's get to the front. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After Xuanmu Zhenren and Yu Qian left, Yang Shan immediately led a few people to squeeze through the heavy crowd and came to the front of the square.

"Little junior brother, little junior sister, you two have to work hard today. ”

The contestants who participated in the second round of the competition had already gathered together one after another, Lu Yu and Mu Ling hurriedly walked over, while Yang Shan and the others cheered for the two of them in the back.

Lu Yu turned around and smiled at Xu Liu, nodded, and then stood at the front of the square with Mu Ling, following the other contestants who participated in the competition.

With the ringing of a bell, the second round of the Zongmen competition officially began.

Just like yesterday, Yuyang Zhenren led the powerhouses of each major sect to sit down on it and observe the game. The whole competition process was mainly presided over by Ma Zhongshan.

After some polite congratulations, Ma Zhongshan ordered someone to withdraw from a mahogany box that was the same as yesterday.

"There are 25 contestants in the second round. In order to show fairness, all the numbers drawn by the players yesterday will be invalidated, and the draw will be re-drawn today and the new numbers will be played. ”

"Because there are 25 players in this round, and it is impossible to match all of them, one person will have a bye. If that disciple wins the twenty-fifth draw, he is extremely lucky, and he can directly advance to the next round without participating in the competition. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

This sounds comical and sloppy. In the sect competition, someone can directly advance without a competition, and this is the first time that such a situation has occurred.

If it weren't for the fact that the Nine Xuan Palace was a famous sect with strict rules, I am afraid that some people would have shouted that it was unfair.

The method proposed by Ma Zhongshan seems simple, it seems that everyone has a chance, but none of the 25 players present will feel that it is fair to do so.

After all, this probability is too low, one in twenty-five, no one present has such self-confidence, thinking that they can have such good luck, and such a good thing can fall on their heads.

Since this kind of good thing does not fall on one's own head, it will definitely fall on someone else's head. If that's the case, then wouldn't you be at a loss.

With such thoughts, the lottery has not officially begun, and many disciples have begun to mumble in private.

Immediately there was a lot of talk and whispers in the square, most of which were criticisms of the decision.

Although these discussions are small, the people sitting above the square are the top masters in the world. With their strength, what voice in the square can't be heard?

For a while, sitting next to Yuyang Zhenren, the faces of the other elders of the various sects became a little weird, and after looking at each other, they all set their eyes on Yuyang Zhenren, wanting to see how Yuyang Zhenren handled this matter.

Just when there was a lot of discussion in the audience, Yuyang Zhenren suddenly coughed lightly, stood up from the table, and looked around.

The field was all disciples of his own palace gate, so Yuyang Zhenren did not act too aggressively, let alone mobilize his cultivation to forcibly coerce everyone.

Yuyang Zhenren just stood there, and a momentum suddenly surged out of his body. With the respect of his head, he just glanced at it lightly, and the scene was suddenly silent, and no one dared to raise the slightest criticism.

Even Lu Yu didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of Yuyang Zhenren.

Yuyang Zhenren has been in charge of Jiuxuan Palace for many years, and has been in a high position for a long time, and he has naturally developed a momentum on his body.

In a breath, the audience was subdued, and the domineering and majesty of Yuyang Zhenren were undoubtedly revealed.

"Since there are no objections, let's start the lottery. ”

Yuyang Zhenren's words completely set a tone for this matter, and at the same time promoted the smooth progress of the sect competition.

Yuyang Zhenren sat down in his seat, returned to his previous demeanor, and laughed with the Lingzhen Master of the Thundercloud Temple beside him.

If there is a slight difference from before, it is that Master Lingzhen has a more respectful attitude towards Yuyang Zhenren.

At this time, no one in the square raised any objections, and the twenty-five participating disciples stepped forward one by one and drew their new numbers from the mahogany boxes.

After the lottery ended, all the disciples checked the numbers in their hands one after another, and the elders and palace masters of the palace gates sitting at the top couldn't help but get nervous, their eyes were staring at the disciples of the palace gates, hoping that the disciples would draw a good lot, if they drew the twenty-fifth number, it would naturally be the best.

The sect is stronger than the clouds, it can be said that every step is dangerous, and it will take a lot of hard work to take a step forward on this occasion. As the elders and palace masters of the various palace gates, they naturally hope that their disciples will have better luck and can directly bye and pass the test smoothly.

Even those who are full of confidence in their own disciples hope that their disciples can suffer a little less twists and turns.

On the square, everyone opened the note in their hands nervously and expectantly, and most of the anticipation on their faces turned into frustration as the answer was revealed. Some disciples raised their heads and looked at their masters above, and shook their heads helplessly.

Everyone looked at the numbers in their hands, and they showed a variety of expressions for a while.

"Eighteenth, I knew I wasn't so lucky. Twenty-five people, how can they be drawn? ”

This is the person who didn't have much hope in the first place, and ended up even more disappointed.

"Number six, I didn't draw it, that's it. ”

It's not hopeful at all, and it doesn't matter if you don't win.

"Oh, number two, it's just a little bit, why is my luck so bad. ”

It was just a little closer, the hardest hit.

......

I saw that the disciples talked for a long time, and most of them were disappointed and depressed, but when it came to talking, none of them took out the number of twenty-five.

By the end, everyone's topic became one.

"Who drew the number twenty-five?"

Looking at the people in the square who were talking, Ma Zhongshan frowned, coughed twice, and said loudly: "Who drew the twenty-fifth, please stand up?"

His voice was so loud that it silenced all voices for a moment, and there was silence in the square.

After three breaths, a somewhat helpless voice sounded: "Elder Huima, here I am." ”

When everyone heard the sound, they turned their heads to look, only to see Lu Yu standing at the back of the crowd, holding a note, standing there speechless.

Everyone's eyes first turned around Lu Yu's face twice, and then moved to Lu Yu's right hand. The note in Lu Yu's hand unfolded with the wind, and a few words were clearly drawn on it.

Twenty-five.

For a while, everyone's expressions became very strange, and most of them had the word envy written on them. Only a few people can face this matter with a normal heart, they just glanced at Lu Yu lightly, remembered Lu Yu's appearance with some curiosity, and then withdrew their gaze.

For this small group of people, who draws the 25th and who can have a bye has no impact on them.

The only thing that made them a little strange was perhaps Lu Yu's speechless expression.

Straight bye but not happy at all, this guy is really interesting.

Seeing that someone finally stood up, Ma Zhongshan also nodded, looked Lu Yu up and down, and said: "You are Lu Yu, a disciple of Muxuan Palace, you will advance directly in this round of competition, you can go down and rest first." ”

After the previous day's competition, Ma Zhongshan already had a general influence on all the participating disciples. What's more, there are only two people participating in the competition in Muxuan Palace this time, and they are a man and a woman. Just take a look at the clothes on Lu Yu's body, and Ma Zhongshan will not recognize the wrong person.

Hearing Ma Zhongshan's words, Lu Yu nodded and saluted Ma Zhongshan: "Thank you, Elder." ”

After standing up, Lu Yu turned his head, glanced at Mu Ling over the crowd, made a cheering gesture to Mu Ling, and then turned around and walked down.

"Okay, the remaining disciples are divided into six groups according to the number, and the rules are the same as yesterday, please follow the guidance of the disciples of the Dao Xuan Palace and go to their respective areas to participate in the competition. ”

"Senior Brother Xuanmu, your disciple is lucky. ”

Yuyang Zhenren looked at Lu Yu who walked off the field, and said with a smile to Xuanmu: "I originally wanted to see how your disciple could perform in this round of competition. It's a pity!"

After hearing this, Xuanmu Zhenren also smiled, shook his head and said, "Senior brother, you remember my words, among the twenty-five disciples below. Lu Yu should be the one who doesn't need this number twenty-five the least. ”

Xuanmu Zhenren's words made Yuyang Zhenren's eyes light up.

Lu Yu's expression just now Yuyang Zhenren also noticed it. It can be seen that Lu Yu is indeed a little unhappy.

In this regard, Yuyang Zhenren also felt a little strange. But Xuanmu Zhenren's self-confidence makes Yuyang Zhenren feel even more interesting.

Yuyang Zhenren said with some surprise: "This Lu Yu is really so good!"

Genki Zhenjin smiled and did not answer directly.

"Senior brother, don't worry, it's going to take a while for the big competition of the sect, just look down. ”

Just when Yuyang Zhenren and Xuanmu Zhenren were discussing because of Lu Yu, on this side, Lu Yu had already walked down the square and came to Yang Shan's side.

"Haha, junior brother, congratulations, you can actually be suspended in the air in this round and advance directly. The Zongmen Dabi has been held for so many years, and it is quite rare to see a situation like yours. ”

As soon as Lu Yu approached, Xu Liu couldn't help but jump out, patted Lu Yu's shoulder and laughed loudly.

Even Yang Shan and the others were surprised and happy by Lu Yu's luck. After all, being able to directly advance on such a competitive occasion as the Sect Dabi is a happy thing in anyone's eyes.

What is strange is that Lu Yu, who is the person concerned, is far less happy than others. Facing the congratulations of several people, Lu Yu just barely squeezed out a smile, which can be regarded as coping with it.

Lin Xi's heart is as delicate as hair, and the delicacy of women makes her the first to discover Lu Yu's abnormality.

"Little junior brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xi asked with some confusion: "Looking at your appearance, you don't seem to be very happy!"

After Lin Xi said this, Yang Shan and the others also saw Lu Yu's strange expression, and they all looked at Lu Yu strangely.

Lu Yu took out the label of number twenty-five, looked at it, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Actually, it is the most appropriate to give this number to Senior Sister?"

Yang Shan asked, "What, junior brother, don't you want to advance directly?"

Lu Yu's face changed slightly, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that it's too boring to advance directly like this." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Hearing Lu Yu's answer, Xu Liu and the others suddenly showed a sudden expression, and the doubts in their hearts disappeared, and they laughed together again, all saying that Lu Yu refused to take shortcuts, and his heart was too high.

Only Yang Shan faintly felt that Lu Yu was not lying, and there seemed to be something else unspeakable.

Does Lu Yu have something unspeakable? Of course there is.

Xuanmu Zhenren's sentence just now was right, Lu Yu was the most unwilling person among the twenty-five people who was unwilling to advance directly.

It's just that Xuanmu Zhenren guessed Lu Yu's mind through Lu Yu's expression and his previous words and deeds, but he couldn't guess the reason why Lu Yu did this.

The main reason why Lu Yu was so keen to participate in the Zongmen Competition was not the reward of the Jiuxuan Palace, but to make himself shine and become famous through the stage of the Zongmen Competition. Then he mixed into the ears and eyes of the Nine Xuan Palace through the Demon Dao, and transmitted his information to Lu Xuefeng's ears.

He is Lu Xuefeng's only son, except for Xue Wanqiu, Lu Xuefeng is the person who knows himself in the world. As long as Lu Xuefeng could hear his own information, he might be able to deduce his identity from some clues.

Once Lu Xuefeng deduces his identity, then he will definitely take measures to find a way to get himself out of the Nine Xuan Palace.

This is the ultimate purpose of Lu Yu's participation in this sect competition.

In order to achieve this goal, Lu Yu must express himself as much as possible in the sect competition and attract people's attention as much as possible.

But now, I actually had a bye and was directly promoted.

He directly changed from a contestant to an audience, which gave Lu Yu a chance to perform.

Who will remember a guy who made the cut straight out because of good luck.

Unless you can have a bye all the way and end up lying down and winning the championship.

This twenty-fifth is an excellent luck for others. But for Lu Yu, it is a useless chicken rib.

It's more chicken ribs than chicken ribs.

It's no wonder that Lu Yu can be happy.

But whether Lu Yu is happy or unhappy, things are already like this. It is impossible for Lu Yu to tell the specific reason, so he can only accept this reality.

The sect competition was still in full swing, and four wonderful duels were launched in the four rings at the same time, causing the surrounding onlookers to let out bursts of exclamations.

Lu Yu didn't have to play, he was in a panic, so he had to follow Yang Shan and them to watch other people's games.

Among them, everyone's biggest concern is naturally the wood spirit competition.

There are now a total of twenty-four players in the field, divided into four groups of six people each, for a total of three games.

Although the competition has decreased, the people who can participate in the sect competition are the elites of each palace. After a day of elimination, the people who stayed were not good at it, so today's game was even more exciting and took longer than yesterday.

The Wood Spirit was the first of their group to take the stage. When Yang Shan and the others found Mu Ling, she had been entangled with her opponent for a long time, but no one took advantage.

A discerning person can see at a glance that Mu Ling and the other party are evenly matched, and this game is afraid that it will fall into a bitter battle.
