The jousting ground of the Feathergate.

"Elder, I want to take the monthly exam, is it too late?"

The middle-aged man in a black robe sat on the elder stage of the martial arts arena without raising his head, "The monthly test is about to end, wait for the next time." ”

"Eh, Elder, I'm a disciple of the Northern Sect."

The monthly test is once every three months, and the northern faction is different from the east and west south faction, the number of people in the east faction is up to 1,000 people, the west faction has 400 people, the southern faction has 200 people, and the northern faction has only 50 people, each disciple of the east and west south faction must participate in the monthly test, and fight in turn until the top three are decided, the northern faction is different, it is a ranking system, the disciples after the ranking can challenge the disciples in front of them by name, and change the ranking if they win, there is no battle order, the disciples can not participate in the monthly test, but as long as they are challenged, they must accept it, otherwise they will lose.

Well? The elder looked up in surprise, "It's you, you, you're going to take the monthly exam." ”

"Yes" Mu Ziyun has never participated in the monthly exam, but the elder recognizes him, the sensational genius back then, who doesn't remember, it's just that he has been at the bottom for the past two years, and he has faded out of people's sight.

"Who are you going to challenge?"

"Elder, what is my rank now?"

"I'll see, um.... It's been the penultimate number one for two consecutive years. ”

"....." Mu Ziyun only had mixed results in the annual exam, and he did not accept the challenge of his disciples, so he was abused in the record.

"Elder, can I challenge at will?"

"No, you can only challenge for a maximum of 10 places."

"Then let's challenge for 40th place first."

"Are you sure? Ten in the North is a big span. ”

"Sure."

The elder glanced at Mu Ziyun deeply, nodded, and then signaled to the disciple beside him, and the disciple quickly retreated after receiving the order.

After a while, in the northern faction area of the martial arts arena, the elder announced, "Fifty Mu Ziyun from the north will challenge forty Li Dong from the northern faction." ”

Hmm, the eyes of the disciples gathered towards the Northern Sect District, the competition of the Northern Sect is not common, but even if it is the battle between the last two, they can learn a lot.

"What, Mu Ziyun, isn't he the bottom genius of the Northern Sect?"

"Yes, I heard that he never takes the monthly exam, and he is at the bottom of the annual exam every year."

"My brother said, this person is definitely hidden."

"Forget it, which hidden genius do you see that can not be missed for five years."

Mu Ziyun walked to the center of the field, and Li Dong had not yet arrived at the scene.

Standing in the noise, looking at the ground, Mu Ziyun was hooked by the noisy atmosphere, and the bitter strings were hooked, and the transformation will be the transformation, if I can have a shadow, I will also stand between them, no, between heaven and earth. But it's not like this, I'm the only one inside and outside the circle, I'm an alternative, I have to do something, leave some traces of my journey, at least prove that I have lived.

After half an hour, Li Dong rushed to the martial arts field, from the beginning of the notice, he was a little surprised, to the scene to determine that it was really he to challenge himself, Li Dong is twenty-three years old, eighteen years old when he and the ten-year-old Mu Ziyun entered the northern faction together, he knew how amazing this opponent was back then, the body and martial arts are all sophisticated, ten years old is the eighth in the northern faction, what a talent, although these years are at the bottom, he does not think that this is Mu Ziyun's real strength, maybe others will have objections, but he will never doubt it when he enters the examination together.

"Well, Senior Brother Mu, I'm late." Li Dong gestured to Mu Ziyun.

"It's me who is abrupt, Senior Brother Li, admit it."

"Why are these two so polite." "Yes, both of them are called senior brothers, and it stands to reason that Senior Brother Li should call him junior brother."

The elder stood up and faced the martial arts training ground, "Silence, let's start the competition now." The field was suddenly silent, and even the disciples of the other three factions who were competing stopped and watched the Northern Sect District, which was the battle of the Northern Sect and the struggle of the masters.

Li Dong took three steps back, and pulled out a four-foot soft sword from his waist, the sword body was slender, "My weapon is a Qingyu soft sword, Senior Brother Mu has asked for advice." ”

"It's the Qingyu soft sword, look at it." "Yes, there are only two people in the northern faction who use soft swords, one is Senior Brother Li, and the other is Liu Xiaoxiao, who is ranked second, and the green feathers and painted white soft swords of the two are very high in the ranking of weapons."

"Hey, why doesn't Senior Brother Mu use weapons?" There were constant suspicions off the field, and most of the people in Yumen needed weapons.

Li Dong also felt strange and asked, "Senior Brother Mu doesn't use weapons?" ”

Mu Ziyun smiled faintly: "Yes." Mu Ziyun stretched out his right hand into his arms, and then stretched out his hand only to see a white feather between his index and middle fingers, "Use this." ”

"What, he just uses that feather, is this an insult." The disciples on the sidelines booed constantly.

"Eh, Senior Brother Mu, don't you choose a weapon?"

"This is my weapon, rootless, Senior Brother Li, ask for advice."

Li Donghu looked at the feathers swaying in the wind suspiciously, "Okay, I've asked for advice." ”

"Let's go." The elder shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Li Dong made a move, and came to Mu Ziyun in an instant, Mu Ziyun's fingers were released, the white feather fell, and he exhaled towards the white feather, and the feather floated with the wind, only to see the blue light stabbing at him, and the white feather took advantage of the sword blade, and Mu Ziyun moved away.

"It's Fengxingbu" The Yumen disciples looked at the two intently, and the Fengxingbu was the Yumen disciples who must learn footwork, "Hey? The footwork of the two of them is very different from ours. ”

The middle-aged elder explained to the disciple on the side: "What teaches you is the most basic footwork, and when your strength reaches a certain level, you will have your own steps." ”

Li Dong's swordsmanship routine is chic and elegant, coming like thunder to collect anger, like Jiang Hai condensing clear light, footwork follows swordsmanship, sword light splashes everywhere, and every step will force Mu Ziyun to a dead end.

Look at Mu Ziyun again, the white feather rose and fell with the sword light, Mu Ziyun moved with the feather, dodged the sword light, hooked his index finger and pointed to Li Dong, Li Dong turned his head to dodge his finger, but Mu Ziyun shook his hand and grabbed the white feather and slashed at Li Dong's neck, not good, Li Dong secretly said that one foot was off the ground, his body leaned back, and the white feather slipped away from his neck, and suddenly Li Dong felt the sharpness of the blade on the edge of the feather, and turned sideways The soft sword slid around the waist, Mu Ziyun took two steps back and raised his hand to throw the white feather before he stood still, The blue light that wrapped around Li Dong's waist changed shape as soon as it touched the tip of the feather.

Li Dong hurriedly retreated, and said in his heart: "This feather is too weird, the fur edge is as sharp as a blade, it is obviously soft and light, but it can carry a thousand catties of strength, and it is difficult to catch." ”

Mu Ziyun's right hand was raised, and the white feather returned to his hand. The outside of the field was extremely quiet, after three breaths, Mu Ziyun blew out the white feather again, this time he didn't dodge, the white feather floated, he stepped off the ground, and five feet later, he actually stepped on the white feather and rose into the air, "What! The middle-aged elder was shocked, had his body been at this point?

"Oh my God, he's flying."

Before the disciple could come to his senses, Mu Ziyun flipped forward in the air, and the white feather under his feet floated with the strong wind around Mu Ziyun, Mu Ziyun stepped on the feather again, three feet off the ground, his arms stretched back and swooped down, Li Dong retreated, who knew that when Mu Ziyun was five feet above the ground, his hand pressed the white feather to borrow strength, instantly slowed down, and vacated backwards, during which his feet were not grounded, Mu Ziyun stepped towards Li Dong, one by one, like a white phoenix in the air, Li Dongkong had the momentum of a dragon but could not use force, so he closed his sword and made a final fight, he closed his eyes and gathered his whole body Wugang on his wrist after two breaths, "A zhang of green light!" ”

Li Dong's arm stretched back and then threw it forward, this is Li Dong's killing move, all Wu Gang passed from the wrist to the Qingyu soft sword, from the hilt to the tip of the sword, the strong power of Wu Gang was concentrated in one point, driving the sword body to swing and drill forward like a long snake, every half breath is a zhang, before two breaths will be stabbed in Mu Ziyun's face, Mu Ziyun clamped the white feather with his right hand, touched the tip of the sword with the tip of the feather, the tip of the sword was staggered with the tip of the feather, pinched the white feather and slid over the body of the sword, and then pointed at Li Dong with his left hand, Li Dong blocked it with both hands, Mu Ziyun moved to stagger his body with Li Dong, The right arm was opened, and the white feather was separated from the right hand and slashed to the left hand.

Li Dong watched the feather glide quietly in front of him, floating in front of the two of them, as if there was only itself in this time and space, Mu Ziyun caught the white feather with his left hand and slid it over his neck, Li Dong suddenly felt that it was cold, it was the feather body rather than the feather edge, Mu Ziyun retreated, looked at the white feather in his hand and sighed faintly: "Look at the life in the air, or fight against the wind, or drift with the wind, or soar into the blue sky, or fall into the abyss, you sigh the impermanence of life, but I see the heavy and falling but rootless drifting, not even withering, breathing, This is the name of Bai Yu, and it is also my fate. ”

On the martial arts field, the two had stopped competing, and it was surprisingly quiet outside the court, "Senior Brother Mu" Li Dong bowed to Mu Ziyun, "I lost, I was convinced." ”

Mu Ziyun said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li's swordsmanship is outstanding, if I hadn't fought hard, I'm afraid I would have fallen under that blue light." ”
