Chapter 82: The Beginning of the Trials

The next time, Qu Yuan and Qu Zhenfeng, accompanied by Qu Qingyun and several elders of the Qu family, walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Walking from the Qu family's mansion to the City Lord's Mansion took more than half an hour at the speed of ordinary people. And Qu Yuan and the others were walking at a very ordinary speed at this time.

Because, the annual festival has just passed, and the spacious streets look very messy in the early morning, and there are many passers-by. Qu Yuan and the others wanted to increase their walking speed, but they were not in harmony with the environment, and the time was still early, so everyone was not in a hurry.

When he was close to the center of Yuyang City, that is, near the City Lord's Mansion, he also saw several batches of young cultivators walking under the leadership of the elder cultivators, and these people obviously had the same purpose as Qu Yuan and Qu Zhenfeng, who wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion to participate in this selection competition.

Along the way, Qu Qingyun and several elders told Qu Yuan and Qu Zhenfeng many times. At the tryouts, pay more attention to what you should pay attention to. They also got some news that among the young cultivators who participated in the selection competition this time, the Seven Environmental Realms had actually reached more than half. And those small families and small forces are also not to be underestimated, they spend some resources to cultivate a small number of people, and it is not difficult to cultivate a talented disciple to reach the cultivation of the Seven Environmental Realms.

Qu Qingyun even made a bold guess that there might be a young cultivator from the Eight Environmental Realms who appeared in the selection competition.

Although the area of Yuyang City is not vast, the number of cultivators in the city, plus the dozens of surrounding towns and hundreds of powerful villages with cultivators, has reached 300,000. Of these 300,000 cultivators, one-fifth were between the ages of 10 and 30, or about 60,000.

Less than 200 of the best people were selected from 60,000 people to participate in the selection competition, that is, 1 in 300, and the competition was fierce. And among these 60,000 people, there are one or two guys with amazing talents who have reached the eighth environmental realm before the age of thirty.

Qu Yuan's father, Qu Chenxing, was only twenty-four years old when he stepped into the Eight Environmental Realm, and his reputation in Yuyang City was no weaker than that of the patriarchs of some big families.

Before Qu Yuan and the others came to the City Lord's Mansion, they saw that many cultivators had already arrived here, and they all gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion. And the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is still closed at this time, and it seems that the start time of the trial has not arrived.

"Patriarch Qu!"

"Patriarch Huang is good!"

"Haha, we've just been here for a while, the Wei family came earlier than me, and they have three places to participate in the tryouts. ”

"Oh, Patriarch Lu is here too......"

Qu Qingyun greeted many heads of family forces, even if the relationship is not good and not very familiar, as long as they know each other, they always have to say haha when they meet. Qu Qingyun behaved relatively unpretentiously, and he could also say some things very politely with some relatively small family leaders.

Wei Tianxing, the patriarch of the Wei family, obviously has a much larger shelf, and many people take the initiative to greet him, but he ignores them. However, many family forces did not dare to be rude in front of them.

"Wei Tianxing's son is dead, otherwise he would have participated in this trial, so Wei Tianxing has not been in a good mood. Qu Zhenfeng saw Qu Yuan observing Wei Tianxing with his eyes, so he leaned over to Qu Yuan's side and said in a low voice.

"Well, I've heard about it too. Qu Yuan was stunned for a moment, recovered immediately, and nodded and said.

About another stick of incense time passed, and the people who participated in the selection competition were almost all there.

"Squeak ......"

A slow and long sound of the door opening rang, and everyone saw that the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was slowly opened, and the two City Lord's Mansion guards pushed the two gates completely open.

The gate was completely opened, and the eyes of everyone gathered outside naturally looked over, including Qu Yuan, who also looked sideways in the direction of the gate.

The two guards pushed open the gate and walked out, standing on either side of the gate with expressionless faces.

Then, another figure walked out from inside, dressed in a light yellow dress, with a ruddy face and a pair of small eyes that glanced at the people gathered outside.

Then, he spread the booklet in his hand in the palm of his hand, glanced at the booklet, and then turned to the others.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cai He, the head of the City Lord's Mansion. Cai He showed a smile on his face, nodded to everyone, and introduced himself in a gentle voice.

"Lord Castle Lord's rules, this selection competition, only contestants can enter the City Lord's Mansion, and no one else can enter the City Lord's Mansion, please forgive me. Everyone, you can wait outside the City Lord's Mansion, or you can leave first. Cai He then said again.

"What?"

"Why is there such a rule?"

"Isn't it possible to go in and watch the last tryout?"

When Cai He said this rule, many people immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

"This is a rule set by the lord of the castle himself, if you have any questions or are not satisfied, you can ask the lord of the castle, and the lord of the castle will come and see it in person in a while. Cai He frowned and said with displeasure on his face.

When he said this, those who expressed dissatisfaction naturally had to shut up.

In fact, Qu Qingyun also frowned slightly, he also wanted to enter the City Lord's Mansion with a few elders to have a look, but now it seems that it is not possible, so he couldn't help but shake his head lightly.

"Next, the cultivator whose name I pronounced can enter the City Lord's Mansion, and someone inside will take you to the location of the Douwu Terrace. Cai He's gaze fell back on the booklet in his hand.

As early as a few days ago, the various family forces had reported the names of the people who were going to participate in the selection competition to the City Lord's Mansion. Like the Qu family, the names reported to the City Lord's Mansion are Qu Yuan and Qu Zhenfeng.

"Highlight!"

Cai He didn't waste much time, and immediately read out the name of the first cultivator on the booklet. As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin young cultivator answered, and then whispered a few words to the chief beside him before entering the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lu Guangyuan!"

Before Gao Liang's body could fully enter the gate, Cai He called out the name of the second person.

Qu Yuan had never heard of two names in a row, he looked at Qu Zhenfeng, and Qu Zhenfeng didn't seem to be familiar with these two people.

"It seems that the order of these names is not according to the size of the family's power, and neither of them has the surname Wei. Qu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

He doesn't care about the order of the names at all, it doesn't matter if you win or lose the battle in the selection competition. His eyes narrowed, and Qu Yuan began to look at the crowd gathered around him. Normally, there are one or more young cultivators standing next to them. The vast majority of people here, Qu Yuan has never seen them, and he has no memory in his memory.

After sweeping around, Qu Yuan found that the female surname among the young cultivators here was not even one-tenth. In other words, if it were two hundred young cultivators who participated in the selection competition, then the number of women among them would not even be twenty.

Qu Yuan shook his head, this is really yang and yin, in this world, the status of women is indeed much worse than that of men. In fact, this is almost the case on the earth, where the vast majority of occupations are dominated by male surnames.

......

"Huang Zhan!"

“......”

Cai He read out the names one by one very quickly, and in the Huang family next to the Qu family, there were already cultivators who participated in the selection competition who had already entered the City Lord's Mansion by reading their names.

"Qu Zhenfeng, Qu Yuan, just give full play to your true strength. Just do your best, even if you don't get chosen, that's okay. The most important thing is not to allow yourself to be injured in the fight. Qu Qingyun finally admonished.

"The patriarch said a lot, safety comes first, and we don't want to see either of you get injured at the tryouts. Even if you can't enter the Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect in the end, you will become the pillars of our Qu family in the future. The Great Elder also smiled and said to the two of them.

The Great Elder hadn't gone back since he came back from Qiye City last time, he should have gone back a long time ago, but later because of the recruitment of new disciples by the Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect, he was delayed for a while.

"We understand. Qu Yuan and Qu Zhenfeng nodded in response.

On the other side, the Wei family was also talking in a low voice.

"Patriarch, don't worry, I will definitely pass this selection competition and win a qualification to go to Seven Leaves City. A young cultivator of the Wei family said in a fierce and confident voice, his tone was very relaxed when he spoke.

Wei Tianxing also nodded with satisfaction, as if he was also full of confidence in this young cultivator. He stretched out his hand and patted this person lightly, "The last time Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect recruited new disciples, our Wei family disciples stood out and became disciples of Wanchu Academy, glorifying the entire Yuyang City. This time, you will too!"

"Thank you Patriarch for the compliment!" the young cultivator said with a smile, "In this selection competition, I will defeat all these guys, and there are three people from our Wei family participating in the selection competition, and out of the five places, there will be three of our Wei family." ”

"Yes, Brother Yu is right!" the other two young cultivators hurriedly echoed, "Hmph, these people, who can be Brother Yu's opponent, if they encounter Brother Yu, they will definitely lose in three moves and two ways." ”

"Don't be too careless, these young people, their strength should not be underestimated, especially ...... Those children of the larger families. Wei Tianxing's tone was a little more serious, and he frowned lightly at the three young children of the Wei family and said.

As the patriarch of the Wei family, of course, he will know a little bit about those opponents of the Wei family. Especially the children of several big families in Yuyang City who participated in the selection competition, he had studied the strength of these people. Most of these lists were also expected by the high-level of the Wei family, but there was only one that the high-level of the Wei family never expected, that is, a child of the Qu family named Qu Yuan.

In the previous information, Qu Yuan's name never appeared, and it was no different from a passerby. And in this selection competition, Qu Yuan's name suddenly appeared, and he will represent the Qu family in the City Lord's Mansion selection competition, which is very surprising. At that time, Wei Tianxing also asked the elders of the Wei family who had all kinds of information, but this elder also didn't know Qu Yuan. Then he quickly sent someone to investigate, and learned that Qu Yuan had made very rapid progress recently, and he was a newly rising genius of the Qu family.
