Ji Yunquan successfully became one of the ten candidate disciples, and Gu Hao proposed to celebrate him with wine. However, Liang Wu refused, he wanted to take advantage of these few days to hone his sword skills.

Lin Man'er told him not to blindly pursue speed and lose his strength. Liang Wu smiled bitterly in his heart after hearing this, he was not as lucky as Ji Yunquan, he had a good teacher. His master is a vampire who thinks about squeezing his disciples all day long. He is where he is today because of his own efforts.

Gu Hao didn't think he could be in the top 10 from the beginning. After all, he is only at the peak of the Great Sword Master now, and even if he gets in by luck, he won't be able to compete for a place. His idea was to wait for Liang Wu to become an inner disciple so as to provide him with resource help. Then, he became an inner disciple by his own efforts.

Nowadays, the banquet cannot be held, and everyone naturally goes back to their own homes. On the way, Ji Yunquan asked Lin Man'er what he had done. Lin Man'er is talking about everything, but he doesn't talk about business.

Ji Yunquan guessed: "Did you buy off the two of them?" ”

"Buy? I don't have enough for myself, so I'll give it back to them. ”

"So you're threatening them? It shouldn't be! Candidate disciples are protected by the elders. Ji Yunquan couldn't figure it out.

Lin Man'er saw that he was guessing, and simply told the truth. "I'm just telling them that there is no limit to life and death on the stage."

"That's it?"

"Sort of! However, in the third round of the competition, I accidentally injured two sword immortals, and I heard that they don't seem to be able to practice anymore. ”

Ji Yunquan looked at his harmless expression, and really wanted to beat him. What does it mean to be careless? Accidentally beat the two sword immortals to the point that they can't practice? However, Lin Man'er threatened others for him, and thinking about it, his heart was still very warm. It's just that with his current strength, I'm afraid it's useless to go in. sighed: "Even if you send me in, I won't be able to get a quota!" ”

"It's okay, I've taken care of everything." Lin Man'er patted his chest and reassured.

Ji Yunquan couldn't guess what he had done, but he always felt that it was a very dangerous thing, and persuaded: "Don't do stupid things, lest you ruin your future." It's okay if I'm a year or two late. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Ji Yunquan sighed with some suspicion, "I hope so!" ”

——————————

A few days later, the competition of candidate disciples officially began. Because Dongfang Qingtang has increased the number of places by three, the rules have also been adjusted. That is, ten disciples draw lots to choose their opponents, and those who have lost three games in total will be eliminated until there are four disciples left. After that, the four of them drew lots again to choose their opponents, with the winner vying for the top spot and the loser battling for third.

The person in charge of the supervision is still Elder Wen, and the location is also on the martial arts stage. After Elder Wen finished talking about the rules, he also made a special mention, "There is no limit to the means on the stage, and there is no limit to life and death. ”

The order of the draw followed the ranking, and the first to draw lots was a Fu Xian, named Yu Shaoyuan. Interestingly, it turned out to be Lin Man'er who he drawn.

The second place in the draw was Gong Liangzhuo, who drew Fan Yi, the sixth-ranked sword immortal. The third-place Cui Jun drew Liang Wu, who ranked eighth, and the fourth-place Tang Qiao drew Ji Yunquan, who ranked tenth. The fifth-placed Shi Hui fought against the ninth-placed Qiu Xiang.

After the draw ended, Elder Wen came to the stage and announced, "The first game is against Lin Man'er in Shao Yuan. ”

After the two sides came to power, Yu Shaoyuan seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Lin Man'er, and asked, "You robbed Bao Teng's long whip?" ”

"I won it, and I won't give it back to him later."

As soon as these words came out, Bao Teng in the audience said angrily: "Are you still there?" It's clearly for me to redeem it. ”

Lin Man'er turned his head to look at him and said seriously, "You can do without it." ”

"That's my stuff, how could I not want it?"

Lin Man'er muttered: "In my hands, it's mine." ”

Yu Shaoyuan didn't want to talk nonsense, so he directly sacrificed a cloud seal talisman (a kind of spirit talisman, composed of complex circle lines, generally used by runes below the fourth grade). Lin Man'er looked at the spirit rune in his hand and thought to himself, this thing wouldn't turn into a sword, right? If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to stop it.

So, he struck first, urging the wind finger sword to shoot at Shao Yuan's middle acupoint. Yu Shaoyuan didn't expect him to make a sudden move, and after avoiding a finger, he shot out the Red Flame Talisman, which detonated when he was close to Lin Man's child.

Suddenly, the fire erupted, covering the entire stage. Lin Man'er had no experience in fighting Fu Xiu, so he suffered a secret loss. Fortunately, he protected himself with cold ice in time, and his injuries were not very serious.

Yu Shao Yuan saw that he resisted with ice, and sacrificed the second cloud seal talisman - the bursting water talisman.

Yu Shao Yuan recited the incantation, and the burst water talisman turned into a torrent and hit Lin Man'er's cold ice. Suddenly, the ice shattered, and Lin Man'er was knocked into the stage by the torrent. When he was about to land, Lin Man'er used the wind step in the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique to return to the martial arts platform.

Yu Shaoyuan looked at his embarrassed appearance and sneered: "Since you are so tenacious, then I will let you see the power of Fu Immortal today?" ”

Yu Shao Yuan sacrificed the third cloud seal talisman - the lightning talisman.

Lin Man'er thought it was another burst of water charm, and jumped into the air with a kick under his feet, but found that a lightning bolt had struck down overhead. He cast his Wind Step again, dodging the attack. Seeing this, Yu Shao Yuan continued to chant the spell, urging the lightning talisman to send out three lightning bolts.

Lin Man'er was very fast, and the lightning struck him. Yu Shao Yuan sacrificed two cloud seal talismans at the same time. He recited the incantation silently and placed a talisman on himself. Liang Wu had seen Yu Shaoyuan use this trick before, and he hurriedly shouted, "Be careful behind you." ”

It's a pity that the shouting is still a step too late. Yu Shaoyuan disappeared in place, and when he appeared, a "jack pendant" charm was attached to Lin Man'er's back. At that moment, Lin Man'er seemed to feel that she was carrying tens of thousands of catties of things. His body fell rapidly and fell heavily on the stage.

Yu Shaoyuan said proudly: "This time it depends on how you hide." After speaking, he silently recited the spell to urge the lightning talisman.

Lin Man'er saw the lightning splitting down, and wanted to dodge, but he really couldn't dodge. He was as fast as an eighty-year-old lady at the moment. In desperation, he turned around and took it on his back.

Liang Wu sighed, was struck by lightning bolts, and even if he didn't die, he would have to delay for a few months. However, to his shock, the clothes on Lin Man'er's back were all shredded, but he seemed to be fine.

Yu Shaoyuan was a little incredulous, and urged the lightning talisman to attack again. Lin Man'er didn't dodge, and still picked it up with his back. Seeing that the lightning talisman was scrapped, Lin Man'er was still alive and well, except that he looked a little embarrassed.

Yu Shaoyuan was so angry that his teeth itched, and he scolded: "I want to see if the sword spirit rune can pierce your pigskin today." ”

As soon as Liang Wu heard the sword spirit rune, he hurriedly reminded: "Don't take it hard, the sword spirit rune will be fatal." ”

Yu Shao Yuan sacrificed his hole cards, and said with a slightly crazy expression: "There is no limit to life and death on the martial arts stage." ”

However, his words seemed to remind Lin Man'er. Facing the sword spirit rune, Lin Man'er didn't plan to stay any longer. He muttered a sentence in his mouth: Like the sword in my heart, when the thunder gathers and turns into a sword, the sword is like thunder.

At that moment, Lin Man'er took out his sword, and the sword came out like thunder.

Yu Shaoyuan was still chanting the incantation, seeing that the sword spirit rune had turned into a heavy sword and was suspended in the air. As long as he is given three more breaths, Lin Man'er will definitely die. It's a pity that three breaths are enough for Lin Man'er to make a sword.

Yu Shao Yuan was hit by the sword qi and died instantly, but had about a breath of time. After a breath, his body suddenly exploded and turned into pieces.

Lin Man'er saw the eyes scattered under his feet, and seemed to have a trace of horror. He sighed and said, "I didn't want to kill you, but you have to force me, what can I do." ”

When Elder Wen heard Lin Man'er say this, he was angry and laughed in his heart. Is this justifying one's own killing? But isn't that a bit too arrogant?

Lin Man'er found that Elder Wen had not yet announced the result, and asked, "Do I still want to fight?" ”

"the fart, don't get off yet. Day by day, can't converge point? Elder Wen rebuked harshly.

Lin Man'er shrank his head and jumped off the stage in a gray manner. As he passed by Tang Qiao's side, he patted him on the shoulder. Tang Qiao's legs were weak and he almost knelt down. Lin Man'er hurriedly supported him and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”

After Lin Man'er left, Tang Qiao nodded blankly, and did not come back to his senses until Elder Wen called his name. He carried his heavy legs and walked to the martial arts stage step by step, as if the martial arts platform was a guillotine at the moment.

When Ji Yunquan saw him like this, he could also understand his mood. After all, the fact that a good person suddenly becomes pieces is far more terrifying than killing someone. In order to help him get out of the sea of suffering earlier, Ji Yunquan picked him off the stage with one shot.

Elder Wen came to the stage and announced Ji Yunquan's victory. At the same time, he reminded some disciples not to make it too bloody, after all, they are fellow disciples.

When Lin Man'er heard this, she looked at Gong Liangzhuo and shouted, "Hey, did you hear it, tell you not to be too bloody." ”

Gong Liangzhuo was not afraid of Lin Man'er, and said coldly: "I heard that you are going to break my legs?" ”

"I said that, but I might change my mind at the moment."

"Really? It's good to know that you're afraid. Gong Liangzhuo thought that he had killed Fan Yi, the sixth-ranked sword immortal, so that Lin Man'er did not dare to provoke him.

Lin Man'er scratched his bald head, looked at Gong Liangzhuo who went to draw lots, and then looked at Liang Wu on the side, and explained: "He seems to have misunderstood what I mean, I'm not afraid." ”

Liang Wu heard this, and his whole body was furious. He asked Lin Man'er with some fear: "If we meet, you won't kill me, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Liang Wugang breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Lin Man'er add, "It's good for you to admit defeat." ”

Liang Wu sighed and said, "That's okay!" ”

The results of the second round of draws, Gong Liangzhuo vs. Cui Jun, Tang Qiao vs. Liang Wu, Shi Hui vs. Lin Man'er, and Qiu Xiang vs. Ji Yunquan.

In the first game of the second round, Gong Liangzhuo defeated Cui Jun with an absolute advantage.

In the second game of the second round, Liang Wu narrowly defeated Tang Qiao. Originally, Tang Qiao's strength was slightly better than Liang Wu's, but he was mentally confused by Lin Man'er and failed to exert his full strength.

In the third game of the second round, Shi Hui didn't even play, and admitted defeat very simply. Lin Man'er looked at him and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, I still want to fight with you." ”

Shi Hui shook his head, waved his hands, and stammered a little: "No... No need, I... I don't want to talk to... Fight with you. ”

Lin Man'er sighed and walked off the stage. When passing by Qiu Xiang's side, before he could speak, he heard Qiu Xiang say, "I... I know... Understood. ”

Lin Man'er withdrew his hand that was stunned in the air, smiled and walked away.

The elders of the outer gate who were watching the battle shook their heads one after another. I thought that this year's competition would be particularly exciting, but Lin Man'er's appearance seemed to make the competition a little funny. Some elders asked whose disciple this Lin Man'er was. However, the fourth game started and no one responded.

In the fourth game of the second round, Qiu Xiang and Ji Yunquan played an exhibition match, and even Elder Wen couldn't stand it. scolded: "If you don't want to fight, admit defeat, so as not to waste time." ”

When Qiu Xiang heard this, he immediately jumped off the stage and shouted, "I admit defeat." ”

Elder Wen sighed and announced the end of the second round and the start of the third round of lots.

Some elders began to expect Gong Liangzhuo to draw Lin Man'er, after all, among the eight disciples, he had the strength to fight. It's a pity that Gong Liangzhuo drew Ji Yunquan. Lin Man'er said directly to Ji Yunquan: "You will admit defeat later, and I will clean him up." ”

Ji Yunquan understood that he was not Gong Liangzhuo's opponent, and he was not reckless, so he simply admitted defeat.

In the second game of the third round, Cui Jun vs. Tang Qiao.

Cui Jun had a fight with Gong Liangzhuo, thinking that he could still hold on, but who knew that there was a problem when transferring the aura, and he abstained on the spot.

In the third game of the third round, Qiu Xiang directly abstained from the field when he drew Lin Man'er.

In the fourth game of the third round, Liang Wu vs. Shi Hui, the strength of the two was between the two of them. It was very stalemate for a while. In the end, the two of them emitted a sword aura at the same time, and Liang Wu had a slight advantage and seriously injured Shi Hui. Shi Hui was unable to fight again and withdrew.

Elder Wen announced that Gong Liangzhuo, Tang Qiao, Lin Man'er, Liang Wu, and Ji Yunquan had entered the fourth round. Finally, the moment that everyone was looking forward to appeared, and Gong Liangzhuo drew Lin Man'er.
