When Lin Xue came out of the sword intent room, he heard a loud rumbling sound in the distance, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the inner courtyard ranking competition had begun.

"It's not long before you rush to see the opening ceremony now. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded next to him.

Lin Xue turned his head to look, the person who spoke was the deacon in charge of the Sword Heart Pavilion, for this deacon, Lin Xue was still quite grateful in his heart, but he didn't know much about him, only knew that his surname was Su.

Suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid I can't go like this, there is such a big event as the inner courtyard ranking competition, no matter what, I have to take a shower and change clothes first." ”

Since he came out of the virtual world, he is still wearing that bloody clothes, and he used to be flawless because he was eager to break through the boundary, but now that his spirit is relaxed, even Lin Xue himself can't stand the smell of blood on his body.

"When you came here before, you looked 100,000 anxious, but now you are quite leisurely. Deacon Su teased.

Lin Ze smiled, he was only anxious about his own strength, but he was not in a hurry at all for the competition, even if he didn't catch up with the start time of the inner courtyard ranking competition, as long as he arrived before the end, his challenge qualification would not be lost.

Deacon Su obviously understood this, and didn't say more, but said jokingly: "Do you know, you now have a very arrogant nickname. ”

"Nickname?" Lin Xue was stunned, "Ten thousand beheaded?"

After completing the task of 10,000 people by himself, it is not surprising that he will be given this title.

But Deacon Su raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "What ten thousand people are beheaded, vulgar and unbearable, now others call you the white demon Lin Xue!"

"White Demon?" Lin Xue was at a loss, "What does this nickname have to do with me?"

"Why is it okay?" Deacon Su gave him a blank look, "When you came from the mission hall before, you were murderous and aggressive all the way, like a demon was born, don't tell me that you have forgotten." ”

"Uh!" Of course, Lin Xue will not forget, but just because of this, he has been crowned with such a terrible title as the White Demon, is it really no problem?

"Forget it, whether it's a white demon or a black angel, you can call it whatever others like, it doesn't matter to me anyway. Soon, Lin Ze's expression returned to normal and said with a smile.

Bidding farewell to Deacon Su not long after, Lin Xue really returned to his dormitory, soaked in the water for most of the day, took a clean bath, and ate his stomach again, and then he didn't care about anything, and fell asleep.

The continuous cultivation some time ago had actually made Lin Ze feel a huge fatigue, but because he was in the middle of a breakthrough, his spirit could not relax. And at this moment, the cultivation was completed, and with the relaxation of the spirit, that fatigue also completely surged up...... Not to mention anything else, just to cope with this Inner Court Qualifying Challenge, it is necessary for him to rest well in order to restore his condition to the most perfect point.

At the same time, the inner courtyard ranking competition has been going on for a long time, and the battle is also in full swing.

The process of the game is basically the same as the ranking competition in the outer courtyard, and it is also divided into three competitions, but because the number of people in the inner courtyard is small, and there is still a distribution of forces in the inner courtyard, each game is a one-on-one battle, divided into ten rings, and randomly selected places to fight, each person will fight up to ten games per day, and a total of three days of knockout matches will be conducted.

The game in the inner courtyard is a point system, each win is a positive point, a loss is a negative point, three days later to the end of the knockout round, if the positive score to ten can enter the second round of qualifying, if the negative score to ten, then can only be eliminated.

And this time it was a little different, the top ten people in the outer courtyard who originally only had the qualification to challenge and could not participate directly in the competition directly joined the knockout system this time, and the victory or defeat of the knockout round was used as their inner court selection.

In other words, if they accumulate negative points in the knockout round, it means that the challenge is unsuccessful and they have to go back to the outer court to practice for another half a year. And if you can accumulate positive points, even if you can't enter the qualifiers, you can officially become an inner court student.

The pace of the knockout round is very fast, after all, there are so many masters in the inner courtyard, and the difference in strength between the top and bottom is very obvious, and most people fight against those who are at the top of the rankings, and just one move is enough to distinguish the winner from the loser. So, in the afternoon, most of the first day of the knockout rounds had been played, and many people had finished ten games early.

Although the results of the first day are not enough to tell the whole story, they also largely determine their outcome.

For example, Zheng Chao, Qin Qi and Xu Jie, they only won one game in this half-day game, and then lost consecutive battles, and now they have accumulated five negative points, and if this trend continues, it is inevitable that they will be eliminated.

They can also be regarded as well-known figures in the outer courtyard, they are called perverts by countless students, but in the inner courtyard, they are just the existence of the bottom, there are too many people, and one move is enough to solve them.

The three of them have participated in the Inner Court Challenge for two years, but they have never succeeded once, and this time the rules were changed, I thought there would be hope, but I didn't expect the final result to be the same as before, and I couldn't help but be a little disheartened.

At this time, they really realized where the gap between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard was.

But on the other hand, Wu Xing, as the original first in the outer courtyard and now the second in the outer court, has played an extremely terrifying record in this inner courtyard ranking competition...... Five battles, no defeats, plus five points!

If such a result appears on the students of the inner court, it is nothing, but if it appears on the body of a student of the outer court, it is enough to shock, and what is even more shocking is that one of the students of the inner court who was defeated by Wu Xing is still in the top five hundred.

Doesn't this mean that Wu Xing already has the strength to enter the top five hundred in the inner courtyard?

Many people couldn't believe it, and then they thought that Wu Xing was not the strongest in the outer courtyard, and there was a Lin Ze above him, since even Lin Xue had such strength, what about Lin Ze?

Thinking that Lin Zhi had completed the task of killing 10,000 people that no one had ever completed, he came out like a demon, and the earth-shattering murderous aura shocked the audience, and in just a moment, the six words "White Demon Lin Ze" spread throughout the inner and outer courtyards, and many people felt huge pressure and threat.

It's just that up to now, most of the game has been carried out, but Lin Ze still hasn't appeared, which makes countless people happy and makes more people sigh.

Although Lin Ze will not be disqualified from the game because of this, if he still does not show up when it is his turn to play, then he will be treated with negative points. If Lin Ze never shows up today, it means that his score is minus ten, and in this way, the result can be imagined.

On the other hand, except for Wu Xing, Xiao Ming and several rookies have performed very well, and the opponents Xiao Ming has encountered are not very strong, and he has only lost two of his six games so far. Lin Xue and Su Yun each met the top 100 powerhouses in the inner courtyard, currently with three wins and two losses, accumulating one point, and the Lei family brothers won three and lost three, with just zero points.

"In the seventh ring, Lin Xue is against Li Qing...... Lin Xue still didn't come?" A moment later, the judge who presided over the seventh ring called out Lin Ze's name again, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Lin Ze on the stage, and immediately said, "Lin Ze abstained, and Li Qing automatically won." ”

When the judge's words fell, Lin Xue, who was waiting for the competition below, couldn't help but glance at the huge scoring list next to him, at this moment, Lin Ze had already accumulated minus nine points behind the name.

Even someone as indifferent as her couldn't help frowning tightly at this moment.

"Sister Lin Xue, why hasn't he come yet? If it goes on like this, there is no hope at all!" Next to Lin Xue, Su Yun said anxiously.

Although in the outer courtyard ranking competition, the two are in full swing, but at this time, they are both challengers in the outer court, and the two belong to the same camp. At this moment, I was also worried about Lin Ze.

With Lin Ze's strength, it would be a pity if he lost the game because of this.

Lin Xue shook her head, she couldn't do anything about this matter, the change in the rules of this challenge came too suddenly, and she didn't know that the rules were different from the past when the competition began, and she couldn't even notify Lin Ze.

"Alas, Lin Xue is finished. ”

"Yes, even if he is on the court now and starts with a minus nine, it will be absolutely fatal, let alone enter the precincts, I'm afraid he won't even be able to maintain a positive score. ”

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to see how strong he would become after completing the task of killing 10,000 people. ”

In addition to Lin Xue and others, there are many people in the inner courtyard who are also paying attention to Lin Ze's points, some people secretly shake their heads, and of course some people are happy.

In the end, until the end of the first day of the game, Lin Ze still did not appear, accumulating ten points.

In the eyes of many people, Lin Ze's road to the inner courtyard is basically broken.

As soon as the game ended, Lin Xue immediately left the arena in a hurry, rushed to the outer courtyard as fast as possible, and came to the dormitory where Lin Xue lived, but as soon as she opened the courtyard door, when she saw the people standing in the courtyard, the whole person was stunned.

In the courtyard, a girl dressed in white stood up, the girl had a beautiful face, her temperament was as cold as ice, and a strong aura made people look awe.

"Yuanhime?!"

Lin Xue subconsciously exclaimed, the girl in front of her was Wang Yuanji.

"Long time no see. Wang Yuanji said lightly.

Although the two of them entered the Sword Martial Arts Academy at the same time, the inner courtyard that Wang Yuanji entered at the beginning, coupled with the fact that because of Lin Xue's affairs, they were busy with cultivation almost all the time, and they had hardly seen each other in this year of the Sword Martial Arts Academy.

Listening to Wang Yuanji's indifferent voice, Lin Xue instinctively felt that the other party was different from before, but at this time, she couldn't care about this, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here? Also, what about Lin Xue? Is he back?"
