Lu Hao didn't pay any attention to the gossip and various discussions outside, and after returning to his residence, he was completely immersed in his own world.

There are still three days left before the Outer Disciple Competition, and he has to make an adjustment within three days to adjust his state to the best.

The first adjustment is to make a summary of this trip to the Blue Mountains, to make an assessment of one's own reaction and battle situation in various crisis situations, to absorb the enemy's strengths, and to make up for one's own shortcomings, this summary process is also a way to improve swordsmanship.

The second adjustment is the adjustment of his own cultivation, because of the blood jade lingzhi, his cultivation has skyrocketed, and there is still the energy of the blood jade lingzhi in his body, he is not in a hurry to impact the cultivation to the perfection of the true qi realm, although the cultivation is fundamental, but it must be solid, and the real combat effectiveness depends on swordsmanship.

The third adjustment is the evaluation and cultivation of his own combat power, and now Lu Hao has mastered a set of pig-killing sword techniques, which can be said to be the top in the true qi realm swordsmanship, but he is not arrogant to the point of being invincible in the world, but is more delving into swordsmanship.

In addition to the pig-killing sword technique, Lu Hao was able to learn a swordsmanship because of his cultivation to break through to the True Qi Realm, so he went to the Zanggong Pavilion to choose a Wind Shadow Sword Technique, which is characterized by being fast and weird, which is especially suitable for his shadowless step technique.

Now Lu Hao's cultivation has reached the peak of the True Qi Realm, mastering the Lightning Sword Technique, the Wind Shadow Sword Technique and the Pig Killing Sword Technique, the weapons have the famous Sword Shen Xing and the Abyss, the basic swordsmanship has reached the profound level, the body has the top body technique of the True Qi Realm without shadow steps, and he has also mastered an auxiliary martial art to absorb the palm, and he has the confidence to win the outer disciple competition.

Of course, for Lu Hao, the most important thing is to kill Hong Guangzong after the Outer Disciple Competition.

Soon three days passed, and Lu Hao also adjusted his state to the best.

......

The Outer Disciple Contest is an annual event of the Nanling Sword School, which is generally held half a month before the Chinese New Year.

According to the rules of the Nanling Sword Sect, every outer disciple must participate in this competition, unless something is no longer in the sect.

Although it is a martial arts competition, it is more of a test for the outer disciples under the sect, testing the results of their cultivation in this year, whether they have improved or regressed, so the rigor of the competition is not very high, but in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the outer disciples, the Nanling Sword Sect still sets up a lot of rewards, but generally the top sixteen will get the corresponding rewards.

The competition was held on the mountainside of the main peak of Tiannan, and the mountainside platform of the main peak of Tiannan was wider than the other four secondary peaks.

On this platform, twenty temporary competition platforms have been erected.

All the outer disciples had already gathered here, neatly divided into four areas, representing the location of the four secondary peaks.

On a platform in the center, there are all high-level members of the Nanling Sword Sect.

Before the start of the competition, Tian Xingzi, the head of the Nanling Sword Sect, made a speech, concisely explaining the role and significance of the outer disciple competition, and then said some words of encouragement, so that all the outer disciples could perform well.

Next, the peak masters of the four sub-peaks spoke, and the content of what they said was basically words of encouragement, so that the outer disciples of each peak could perform well and strive for a good ranking.

After all the speeches were over, Elder Sanyuan jumped onto the central platform and said loudly: "Disciples, this outer disciple competition is presided over by me Li Sanyuan, the purpose of this competition is to test the cultivation achievements of disciples, so the competition in the competition must be stopped in moderation, everyone only needs to distinguish the winner and loser, and must not hurt people, especially not to deliberately hurt people, anyone who violates the rules will be severely punished." ”

"Okay, now I'll talk about the process of the competition, as in previous years, the outer disciple competition adopts the elimination system, there are a total of 1052 outer disciples participating in this competition, and a total of nine rounds of competition will be carried out, the first round of 1052 people into 526 people, the second round of 526 people into 263 people, the third round of 263 people into 132 people (one of them has a bye to advance directly), the fourth round of 132 people into 66 people, the fifth round of 66 people into 33 people, to the fifth round there will be a lottery ceremony, draw the number 33 lottery people are eliminated, but you can also challenge the other 32 people, the challenge success will enter the top 32, the challenge will be eliminated if you fail。 ”

Elder Sanyuan paused here when he said this, and then continued: "In the sixth round, 32 people entered 16 people, so far the top 16 were produced, but the people who were eliminated in front of them have a chance to challenge at this time, if they can beat one of the 16 people, they can take his place and become the new top 16, the seventh round is 16 into 8, and then the eliminated 8 people will be ranked again, the eighth round will be 8 into 4, the eliminated 4 people will be ranked in the ranking match, and the ninth round will be 4 into 2 and 2 into 1, and the final four finals will be held." ”

"This is all the competition system, do you understand?" the Sanyuan Elder shouted loudly.

"Understood!" all the outer disciples replied in unison.

"Okay, now that we're out of the way, let's talk about the rewards. Elder Sanyuan said again.

"As you all know, only the top sixteen will be rewarded, and the sixteenth to eleventh will get 10,000 contribution points. ”

"Tenth to seventh place, you can get 10,000 contribution points and 100 True Qi Pills!"

"From the sixth to the fourth, you can get 10,000 contribution points and 100 True Qi Pills, plus a famous sword!"

Hearing this, all the outer disciples were immediately excited, 10,000 contribution points can be exchanged for 100 True Qi Pills, which is equivalent to their supply for one year and eight months, and if they reach the tenth place, they can also get additional True Qi Pills, then they can save contribution points in exchange for other things.

And the rewards of six to four are even richer, you can even get a famous sword, ordinary disciples have never seen a famous sword, only a few excellent outer disciples will have a famous sword, such as Hong Guangzong has a famous sword.

The top sixteen to fourth were already such a huge reward, and all the disciples immediately began to guess what the top three rewards would be.

"The rewards for the third and second places are, 10,000 contribution points, 100 True Qi Pills, a famous sword, and a swordsmanship of the Tiannan Main Peak Hidden Gong Pavilion!"

"My God, it turned out to be the swordsmanship of the Zanggong Pavilion of the main peak of Tiannan, almost all the swordsmanship there are high-quality, and there are no ones in the four major sub-peaks, this kind of swordsmanship is much more powerful than the swordsmanship we cultivate!" Suddenly, an outer disciple exclaimed.

After all, the main peak of Tiannan and the four major sub-peaks are divided into primary and secondary, and many exercises and swordsmanship are on the main peak, but not on the four sub-peaks.

In the anticipation of many outer disciples, Elder Sanyuan announced the reward for the first place.

"The reward for the first place is, 10,000 contribution points, 100 True Qi Pills, a famous sword, a Tiannan Main Peak Tibetan Gong Pavilion swordsmanship, and a secret technique heart method!"

As soon as these words came out, it suddenly exploded like a bombshell among the outer disciples.

"It turned out to be a secret technique! I heard that each secret technique has a special effect, which can multiply a person's combat power and help kill the enemy by leaping over the level!"

"It's so awesome, with a secret technique, doesn't it mean that I can even kill a True Yuan Realm powerhouse!"

"That's what you can say in principle!"

Secret technique is not a technique or swordsmanship, and I don't know auxiliary martial arts, but a special mental technique, and there are two kinds of secret techniques, one is a mental secret technique, and the other is a sword trick secret technique, the mental secret technique is mainly to urge the operation of the human body's own true qi, and perform a killing move, while the sword move type secret technique focuses on changing the form of the sword move, becoming a powerful sword move killing move, in general, one is to enhance its own strength, and the other is to enhance the power of attack.

And this time the reward is a secret technique, which means that it is a secret technique that can improve one's own strength.

For the secret technique, Lu Hao didn't have it, and suddenly he made up his mind to win the first place, more of this secret technique!
