On the martial arts platform at the foot of Quhua Mountain, Gong Liangzhuo confronted Lin Man'er with a long sword. The elders and disciples in the audience speculated about the victory or defeat of the two.

Some people are optimistic about Lin Man'er, thinking that he is fast with his sword and domineering, which can be seen from the battle against Shao Yuan. Some people are optimistic about Gong Liangzhuo, thinking that he is calm in his sword and has both offense and defense, which can be seen from his battle against Fan Yi, who is also a sword immortal.

Elder Wen looked at a white-haired old man next to him and asked, "Elder Qu, which of them do you think will win?" ”

Elder Qu was the elder in charge of the assessment of the outer disciples that year, and he watched the battle between Lin Man'er and Yu Shaoyuan and came to a conclusion. Lin Man'er was decisive in killing and ruthless, but he had an Achilles' heel, that is, his lack of combat experience. On the other hand, Gong Liangzhuo has a solid foundation and rich experience, and he is a good seedling.

Therefore, he is more optimistic about Gong Liangzhuo's victory. Of course, the outcome of this game has little effect. At present, there are only five people left, but there are four places, and with their strength, they can all become inner disciples, but it is just a matter of who is the top of the list.

Elder Wen thought that Lin Man'er would definitely win, but the process might be a little miserable.

Elder Qu smiled and asked, "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet on what?"

"How about ten green rays?"

Elder Wen thought for a moment and accepted the gamble.

Gong Liangzhuo naturally thought that he was stronger than Lin Man'er, but if he really competed with life and death, he felt that he would also be injured. After some thought, he planned to give up this one. said to Lin Man'er: "You and I don't have a deep hatred, why bother to grudge for a waste? ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean it very simply. We're the same kind of people, different from the garbage. You're just fighting for a name, and I can give it to you. After saying that, the sword was unsheathed.

Lin Man'er seemed to understand what he meant, and asked, "Do you want to admit defeat?" ”

"It's not that I'm admitting defeat, it's just that I don't want to lose both." After speaking, he turned around and walked off the stage.

Lin Man'er kicked under his feet, jumped up, and drew a sword aura from the sword in his hand, forcing Gong Liangzhuo to return to the stage. didn't wait for him to talk nonsense, the second sword qi attacked, and directly took Gong Liangzhuo's head.

Gong Liangzhuo pulled out his long sword and returned a sword qi, although it was not very fast, but his composure could be seen from his orderly movements such as stretching out his hand, luck, holding the sword, and drawing the sword.

The two sword qi collided, sending out a circle of spiritual power waves that spread vertically. Gong Liangzhuo said coldly: "Don't deceive people too much. ”

Lin Man'er raised his sword and sent out another sword qi. Gong Liangzhuo raised his sword and stabbed directly, breaking Lin Man'er's sword qi, and said angrily: "Do you really think that I am afraid of you? ”

Lin Man'er smiled and replied, "I said I was going to break your legs." ”

Gong Liangzhuo couldn't bear it, turned the aura and poured it into the sword body, and rushed towards Lin Man'er. He knew in his heart that he might not be able to fight Lin Man'er simply by competing with sword qi, but in hand-to-hand combat, Lin Man'er was by no means his opponent.

Lin Man'er didn't seem to realize this, and fought with Gong Liangzhuo. The two sides exchanged a few moves, and Lin Man'er was caught off guard for a while, and he was tricked.

It turned out that Gong Liangzhuo sold the flaw, and when Lin Man'er attacked, his back fell to the ground, and then he kicked Lin Man'er's wrist with a kick from his waist, and at the same time the long sword stabbed Lin Man'er in the abdomen.

Lin Man'er urgently turned the golden aura and hardened his abdomen to resist this sword. After that, he used the Wind Stepping Step to pull himself out.

Gong Liangzhuo rolled up with a carp, looked at the blood stains on the sword, and snorted coldly: "You are lucky." ”

Lin Man'er froze in place, thinking about Gong Liangzhuo's move just now. He believes that Gong Liangzhuo is not using any sword moves, but should be his combat experience accumulated over the years. Thinking about this, Lin Man'er had an idea in his heart. He attacked Gong Liangzhuo again, but always retained a golden aura for defense.

The two sides exchanged a few more moves, Lin Man'er had many colors on his body, but Gong Liangzhuo had a relaxed attitude.

The elders and disciples who were optimistic about Lin Man'er shook their heads one after another, feeling that he was doomed. And those who are optimistic about Gong Liangzhuo ridiculed Lin Man'er for not knowing what to do. Because, Gong Liangzhuo had already regressed before, and he was still aggressive.

Liang Wu glared at the foul-mouthed disciple, looked at Ji Yunquan, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid something will happen if it goes on like this." You have a good relationship with him, let him admit defeat! ”

Ji Yunquan instead looked calm and replied, "He won't lose." ”

"I thought so before, but judging from the current situation, even if Gong Liangzhuo doesn't kill him, he won't be able to last long."

"Well, it really won't last long, and it's almost over."

Liang Wu shook his head, thinking to himself that this Ji Yunquan was too indifferent, right? Lin Man'er was angry with Gong Liangzhuo because of him.

Elder Qu on the side saw the fierce battle on the stage, and his expression was a little solemn. Elder Wen said with a smile on his face, "Elder Qu, I will accept the ten green rays." ”

Elder Qu let out a wry smile and said angrily, "Okay! You've set me up for it. After a pause, he took out ten green mangs, "However, I recognize this set." ”

On the stage, Gong Liangzhuo became more and more afraid, because he gradually realized that Lin Man'er seemed to be deliberately "selling blood", the purpose was to learn from the combat experience. Isn't this kind of person terrifying?

Lin Man'er counted the sword marks on his body, arched his nose, and said to Gong Liangzhuo: "You stabbed me with twelve swords, it shouldn't be too much for me to break your two legs, right?" ”

When Gong Liangzhuo heard this, his legs shook subconsciously. He felt that Lin Man'er would really break his leg, he didn't want to fight, and he couldn't fight. Immediately sent out a sword qi and took the opportunity to jump off the martial arts platform.

Lin Man'er licked his lips and cast the first form of the first layer of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique-the wind swept the autumn leaves.

I saw that Lin Man'er's speed suddenly increased several times, leaving several afterimages everywhere he passed. If you look closely, the movements of each afterimage are different, and it seems to be like a paper-cut villain demonstrated step by step.

Gong Liangzhuo only felt a gust of wind coming behind him, and he turned his head to look, as if he saw a demon.

At that moment, Gong Liangzhuo was like being blown up by the autumn wind, churning in the air and not falling for a long time.

Elder Qu was shocked when he saw such a subtle sword technique. Elder Wen on the side had a hesitant expression, it stands to reason that according to Dean Dongfang's order, even if Lin Man'er killed Gong Liangzhuo, it would not violate the regulations. However, he really couldn't bear to have a good seedling like Gong Liangzhuo destroyed.

Lin Man'er seemed to sense that someone was attacking him from behind, and he immediately gave up his attack on Gong Liangzhuo and vented the remaining sword momentum behind him. Elder Wen seemed to be ready, and took the cathartic sword momentum against Xuan Bing.

After Lin Man'er finished sweeping the autumn leaves with the wind, he landed on the martial arts stage, he looked at Elder Wen behind Xuan Bing, and wondered: "Why do you always want to sneak attack me?" ”

Hearing this, Elder Wen looked at Xuan Bing, who was full of sword marks, and said angrily, "Everyone else has admitted defeat, can't you restrain a little?" ”

Lin Man'er pointed to the sword marks on his body and said aggrievedly: "He stabbed me with thirteen swords, can't I stab him a few swords?" ”

"Isn't it the Twelve Swords?" Elder Wen was a little puzzled.

"Oh, then twelve swords."

Elder Wen rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand to signal him to go down. However, Lin Man'er didn't seem to have any intention of going down.

Elder Wen said angrily: "You go down to the old man." ”

Lin Man'er pointed at Gong Liangzhuo and said seriously: "He can't fight, there are only four left now." ”

"You did it on purpose?"

Lin Man'er looked up at the sky, pretending not to understand and said, "What do you mean?" How could I do it on purpose? ”

Elder Wen was angry when he saw him like this, and just as he was about to reprimand a few words, he heard Elder Qu say, "Let's start drawing lots!" ”

When Tang Qiao heard this, he didn't react for a while, and asked the disciples around him, "I'm an inner disciple?" ”

Elder Wen looked at him, speechless in his heart. This guy was lucky enough to lose two games in a row to get a spot.

Liang Wu walked to Tang Qiao's side and reminded, "It's time to draw lots." ”

Tang Qiao walked to the stage with a smile on his face, and when he saw Lin Man'er, his smile stopped, and he muttered: "No matter how you smoke, it's the fourth, and then it's a fart." ”

Elder Wen was angry and said, "What are you muttering about? Don't want to fuck off. ”

Tang Qiao's neck shrunk and the draw began. Unfortunately, he won Ji Yunquan again.

Lin Man'er said in a happy tone: "Fortunately, it's not me, otherwise I would have to admit defeat." ”

When Tang Qiao heard this, he said with disdain in his heart: "It must be pretended." ”

Elder Wen announced the start of the first game of the fifth round. Not surprisingly, Tang Qiao conceded defeat.

Elder Wen announced the start of the second game of the fifth round. Not surprisingly, Liang Wu conceded defeat.

Elder Wen announced the start of the battle for first place. Not surprisingly, Ji Yunquan conceded defeat.

Elder Wen announced the start of the battle for third place. Not surprisingly, Tang Qiao conceded defeat.

Although this result is not unexpected, it always makes people feel that something is wrong, like drinking cold water, it is tasteless. The only thing that is a little fluctuating is that this year's recommended quota is given to Gong Liangzhuo. Gong Liangzhuo looked at his fleshy legs and smiled bitterly: "Is this a kind of pity?" ”

After that, Elder Qu came to the stage, awarded the inner disciple waist cards to the five people, and took them to the mountainside to practice.

When everyone passed by the Octagonal Pavilion, Cai Quan, a disciple on duty, came to inquire. When he saw Elder Qu, he said flatteringly: "Elder Qu has worked hard all the way, and the disciple has prepared hot tea, please enjoy it." ”

Elder Qu nodded and walked towards the Octagonal Pavilion. Cai Quan swept the rest of the people and asked, "That junior brother is the leader of this year?" ”

Tang Qiao took the lead and said, "It's Senior Brother Lin." ”

Lin Man'er walked out from behind, looked at Cai Quan, and snorted coldly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, this year's leader is me." ”

As soon as Cai Quan saw Lin Man'er, he remembered the previous scene and said sarcastically: "Are you very proud? is also a recruited disciple, and the lowest is the identity of the inner door, so you have to climb up for a round, which is ridiculous. ”

Elder Qu originally ignored the bickering of the disciples, but when he heard that Lin Man'er was this year's recruited disciple, he turned around and asked, "How did you go to the outer gate?" ”

Cai Quan hurriedly said: "Returning to Elder Qu, he only got one point, ranking last. ”

These words made Elder Qu even more confused. He had seen the eighteen inner disciples of the top three, and they were definitely not comparable to Lin Man'er in terms of strength, and even now none of them have become immortals. asked, "Your plum pill was robbed by Pei Yongsi?" ”

Lin Man'er thought that Ren Wushuang had a background in the Meizhou Branch, and he couldn't fight him for the time being. So I followed the conversation to deal with the matter.

Elder Qu nodded, and said to himself, "No wonder, with your strength enough to enter the second grade, it's a pity." ”

Everyone went up to the Octagonal Pavilion, and Qi Meng was sitting at the tea table, making hot tea. The moment she saw Ji Yunquan, she was stunned. A young disciple beside her hurriedly grabbed the teapot and reminded, "Senior sister, the tea is full." ”

Qi Meng pushed the disciple away, and with tears in his eyes, he rushed towards Ji Yunquan. kept muttering: "You're finally here, you made me wait so hard!" ”

Ji Yunquan didn't react, the pestle was in place, like a wooden man. Liang Bin had already heard about him and Qi Meng, and thought to himself, this rumor is wrong! So, he accidentally bumped into Ji Yunquan.

Ji Yunquan reacted and hugged Qi Meng and cried. This crying is not only the joy of reunion after a long absence, but also the remorse that he misunderstood Qi Meng.

Seeing this scene, Elder Qu smiled slightly and did not interrupt. He also came from this age, but it's a pity that his story has more twists and turns.

However, there are always nasty ghosts that will spoil the atmosphere. I only heard Cai Quan's instructions: "Senior Sister Qi, why don't you serve tea to Elder Qu?" ”

Qi Meng realized his gaffe, wiped away his tears, looked at Elder Qu, and said apologetically, "Please forgive me, the disciple will serve you tea immediately." ”

Elder Qu waved his hand and politely refused, "No need, I still have to go to my life." Looking at Lin Man'er and the five of them, "Let's go!" ”

Qi Meng was reluctant, and Ji Yunquan comforted: "It's okay, we'll meet again soon." ”

Qi Meng nodded and watched Ji Yunquan go up the mountain.
