Chapter 37: The First Round

In the evening, the detailed list of groups for the competition came out.

After all, Wan Shi Sect is a major sect, with nearly a thousand outer disciples. Although most people have gradually weakened their desire to seek the Tao on the long road of seeking enlightenment because of the distance between geniuses and mortals, there are still no less than 300 applicants for the biennial outer disciple review conference. The teachers of Pregnant Yingtang divided the applicants into four groups according to the realm, A, B, C, D, and Li Yunuan was naturally assigned to Group D, and it was the same group as the "Xiao Ningzi" who made things difficult for him in Pu Santang!

In other words, the two of them faced off in the first round!

Due to the large number of people, the first round of elimination is divided into three days, except for the three people who do not need the initial test in each group, a total of 280 people need to play, and the promotion list will be announced in the afternoon of the fourth day.

It's a terrible start!

What's worse is that Xiao Ningzi is actually Ning Ping, a well-known talisman madman in Woyun Ju!

- Except for a few purely female sects, most of the sects in the cultivation realm have a serious uneven ratio of men and women, with more than 130 disciples of the fifteenth generation of the inner sect of the Wanshi Sect, only more than 20 female disciples, and nearly 1,000 people in the outer sect, and the ratio of men and women is closer to ten to one. More than 100 female disciples from the outer sect all live in Haoyue Residence, and more than 800 male disciples live in five courtyards. Cultivators abstain from sexual desire, and when they are building, they deliberately make the residence of the male disciple and the residence of the female disciple very far away.

And Li Yunuan had heard of Ningping.

Ning Ping is rumored to be a smart and lazy guy. He has a deep attainment in Fu Gong, although he is an outer disciple, he has been favored by the teachers of Ming Hui Peak, as long as he can be rated in the middle and upper level in the audit, he can become an inner disciple. Helplessly, this person is lazy, stranded in the outer door for three years, and his cultivation is still ridiculous, and he was at the bottom of the list last time he participated in the audit, and he became a joke in Woyunju. This time, Minghui Peak even ordered Yingqiu to give him an ultimatum, if he was at the bottom again, he would be cut off!

Although it was a threat, if he really got to the bottom again, Elder Liuying of Minghui Peak couldn't guarantee that he would not really cut him off.

However, Ming Hui Feng likes Ning Ping's talisman talent, which doesn't mean that other peaks also like this lazy boy. Feng Qi, who was in charge of the sect's discipline during the retreat, couldn't get used to such opportunistic people, and ordered Luo Wanchuan to give Li Yunuan a condensing pill, in addition to taking care of Li Yunuan, who may be the last descendant of the phoenix, and Gu Quan's face, it also has the meaning of ridiculing Ning Ping.

After knowing the inside story of Luo Wanchuan's sending the Condensing Qi Pill, Li Yunuan struggled several times, and finally made a decision: Don't rely on the Condensing Pill to pass the test!

......

......

The next day, the sky was just dawning, and there was already a sea of people in front of the sword screen.

It's just that the outer disciples are reviewed, the participants' cultivation is low, and there is no fancy and gorgeous excitement to see during the competition, but the cultivation path is lonely, the road is long, and it is rare to have such a grand event, those inner disciples who have no task in their bodies and have not retreated are all interested in coming to the sword, watching the energetic junior brothers and sisters, sweating in front of the sword competition screen.

What's more, the host of this competition is the most popular general in the sect.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, the sun finally rose, and I saw a little green mang galloping from the sky, and it had arrived in front of me in an instant, and the huge coercion shook the inner disciples who were watching in the sky unsteadily, and they fell from the sky one after another.

However, when they were about to fall to the ground and fall to the ground, there was a soft buoyancy that held them up and stabilized their bodies one by one.

By the time the disciples stood still, Qingmang had already landed, Qinghui dispersed, revealing a young man in a green shirt with a delicate face, with long sleeves in the wind, his clothes swaying to the ground, and the two rows of disciples behind him were waiting for him. The fifteenth generation disciples of Yan Luofeng who followed closely behind them, Xu was all radiant because of the fact that they were performing foreign affairs with their ancestors, and they were all radiant, with their heads held high and their faces full of pride.

Jiang Qi slowly walked to the center of the sword screen, his fingers were drawn in the air, the air fluctuated, and twenty stone pillars rose from the ground in the sparkling water, and the smoke and dust were billowing and magnificent.

"Starting from today, for five consecutive days, I will preside over the review in front of the sword screen. The best of the 292 people who have signed up will have the opportunity to become disciples of the inner sect of the sect! In this competition, the requirements will end on a first-to-point basis, and friendship with the same sect will be the most important. These 20 pillars are all equipped with talismans, and the power of the attack will be reduced to one-tenth of the usual amount, and the ground is also engraved with a levitation charm, if you are unfortunate enough to stumble during the competition, be sure to stay calm. ”

The general announced proudly, not loudly, but even the outermost people could hear it clearly.

"Disciple obeys!"

Seeing that everyone responded loudly, the general said: "If anyone dares to take revenge for personal gain and murder his fellow disciples in the competition, once it is found, the dantian will be abolished and expelled from the mountain gate! Remember! Remember!"

Remembering two sentences in a row, they all brought mana, and those who had evil thoughts in their hearts heard it, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in the sea of consciousness, and the world was spinning.

Although Li Yunuan was not injured by the mana fluctuations of the general, he couldn't help but bow his head and look at his lower abdomen.

If I am told that I am secretly practicing the exercises, most of them will also bloom in my stomach.

She thought carefully, and in the sea of knowledge, Yuehua let out an ominous strange laugh.

("This kid has good bones.") It's a pity that I've taken a fancy to Li Yeyin, hehe. ”)

Alas!

Li Yunuan sighed, she had turned a blind eye to Yuehua's habit of talking to herself in the sea of knowledge at every turn, and clutched the wooden stick engraved with the magic circle that had been made under Yuehua's guidance for several days, waiting for the general to officially announce the start of the competition.

After some discipline reaffirmation, the general on the rostrum waved his green shirt, and the fire-like cyan light flew out of his sleeve and scattered into the twenty stone pillars, which were originally only gray-black and suddenly had an extra layer of fluorescence.

"It's a distraction for me to join the stone pillar, there are twenty competition arenas here, and I can't do it all. But it would be a mistake to think that you can fish in troubled waters. ”

The harsh words turned into ice needles that pierced everyone's consciousness, and engraved the rule that they must not hurt anyone.

The ancestor is so powerful!

Li Yunuan sighed secretly in her heart, unexpectedly-

("A bloodless contest is meaningless!")

In the sea of knowledge, Yuehua threw out a sentence of contempt, Li Yunuan was just about to sneer at each other, suddenly felt a divine sense sweeping, and made a short pause, and immediately looked around in a panic, thinking that the secret had been discovered by a powerful person in the sect.

"You are very good, although you did not meet Su Hongye's requirements, but at least it exceeded my expectations. In this competition, don't have any burden, just do your best. Those who work hard will always be rewarded. ”

The gentle voice sounded directly in his mind, and Li Yunuan was used to Yuehua talking in the sea of knowledge, so he instantly found out the source of the sound, nodded slightly in the direction of the general, and the originally panicked heart settled down again.

I will certainly live up to your high expectations.

After receiving her promise, Jiang Xiao smiled shyly, his body moved slightly, and he had already sat back on the high platform, and under the arch of the disciples, he took out a yellowed scroll from his sleeve and read it casually.

The competition has officially begun!

......

......

The fight on the stage was hot, and off the stage, Li Yunuan walked to Ning Ping's side and said, "Senior Brother Ning, I'm ...... We seem to be in the same group. ”

Ning Ping glanced at her, his face was a little unnatural: "Yes, I was actually in the same group as you, sure enough-don't think that if you are a girl, I will be merciful!"

"Senior brother, don't worry, I don't expect senior brother to show mercy. ”

Li Yunuan looked at Ning Ping and found that the hands in his sleeves were trembling slightly, and his arms were wrapped with bandages with talismans written on them, obviously ready for everything.

Ning Ping's strength is Fu Zheng, and he will meet him at the bottom of the sect in the first round, mostly because of the arrangement of the masters of Minghui Peak.

("Obviously, the people of Minghui Peak plan to use you as a stepping stone, so that they can be optimistic about Ning Ping's smooth entry into the second round, but Feng Qi, who is secretly taking care of you, also has the same calculation, and as a result, the two of you will meet in the first round.) I just took a look at the kid's talisman, it was very rough and not very powerful, but he was very smart, and he had some ideas about the matching of the talisman, no wonder the people of Minghui Peak were optimistic about him and planned to sacrifice you to help him ascend. It's a pity, but he's doomed to lose!")

Knowing the sea, Yuehua smiled gloatingly, but Li Yunuan felt that things were not so simple.

"The venue of the competition is engraved with a magic circle that weakens mana, and Senior Brother Ning's strength is a talisman, I am really not afraid to summon a talisman of thunder and lightning, and I can only call out a small electric wave in the magic circle, but it sets off my thick skin and thick flesh to resist fighting?"

Li Yunuan asked tentatively and sarcastically, Ning Ping and his fox friends made her very angry with her words and deeds yesterday.

"Senior Sister Li, although you can rest assured at this point, although your qualifications are poor, after all, you are also a little beauty, if I really use lightning to scorch you black, I am afraid that I will be scolded for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

Ning Ping said without leaking, the bandage wrapped around her arms was accidentally loosened by half a minute, and there was a vague strange outflow, Li Yunuan suddenly felt dizzy, but in two hours, it would be her turn to play with Ning Ping, she didn't want to leave the cowardly impression of retreating without a fight, and secretly pinched her palm with her fingernails to suppress the discomfort.

"Then Senior Brother Ning, in the afternoon, we will fight it out!"

Pretending to be relaxed, Li Yunuan turned around and sat back in his place.

At this time, there was already a duel on the stage, and Yang Xue, who was divided into Group C, was defeated by his opponent from Woyunju, the freckle boy who ridiculed him with Ning Ping yesterday in just two rounds, and his light yellow shirt was cut by a wooden sword. Yang Xue has always been rude, this time she lost face, and her spicy temperament got up, she actually scolded in public, pressing step by step, the freckled boy didn't guard against her fierceness, and kept retreating, so that she stumbled and fell off the high platform, but fortunately there was a suspension spell on the ground, so there was nothing wrong.

Yang Xue was particularly ashamed of his victory.

The movements of Yang Xue and the freckled boy sucked the attention of most of the audience, and at the same time, the groups that decided the winners and losers were basically not paid attention to. Especially Xu Yuanyuan in Group B, she shot extremely fast, and her opponent didn't even see her movements clearly, so she was pressed against her chest with a wooden stick, her blood and qi surged, and she almost fell to the ground.

However, the disciples who were waiting behind the general found that when Xu Yuanyuan won, the young elder who was reading the scroll carefully suddenly slowed down his fingers, his delicate eyebrows jumped, and then he regained his composure.

At noon, all 20 groups in the morning were decided, three groups abstained, and seven groups of contestants were disqualified because of cheating or using indecent means against their classmates. In the end, only 10 people from the first group of the first round were qualified for the second round of selection.

So I rested on the spot for an hour, and the second group of competitions continued in the afternoon.
