Chapter 22: The Selection Begins (Collect!)
"Alas"
Looking at Meng Mubai's confident smile, Meng Qingyang sighed deeply, and Zuihou still swallowed back what he was about to say.
It's just that when Meng Qingyang turned his head to look at the spirit stone pressed on the table, a bitter smile still appeared on his face, and he said in his heart that if his Qi Sea Dantian had not been abolished, he would never let his brothers suffer humiliation today.
And Meng Mubai looked at his brother's bitter face, and became more and more determined in his heart to shine in the inner door selection and save the lost face for his brother.
Of course, Meng Mubai also wanted to win the wealth of the thirty spirit stones from Sun Xing, so he should ask for a little interest from the Sun brothers.
At this time, the selection of inner disciples was about to begin, and just as Meng Qingyang was about to say a few words of encouragement to Meng Mubai, his eyes suddenly looked into the distance. There, a large crowd of people poured in, led by an old man with a full head of white hair. The old man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, although he was old, he gave people a very tough feeling, and his eyes swept over the ethereal disciples present, revealing a bit of majesty.
This old man is the elder who teaches the outer disciples on weekdays, and he is also the judge of the inner door selection this time, Elder Qian.
On both sides of Elder Qian, there were two inner disciples following closely, and Meng Mubai saw Su Mucheng at a glance who had been solving problems for himself in the past. Moreover, because of Su Mucheng's status among the inner disciples, as well as her slender and moving figure, she also attracted the attention of many outer disciples in the past. Of course, what also attracted everyone's attention was the young man standing on the other side of Elder Qian, that young man's name was Lin Qing, and he was also one of the more outstanding inner disciples.
Elder Qian appeared with the two inner disciples, and the martial arts arena suddenly boiled, and everyone got up almost at the same time, which showed the high status of Elder Qian in the Ethereal Sect. Don't look at Elder Qian's job as just teaching outer disciples, but his cultivation is among the best even in this Ethereal Sect branch, and even the descendants are very admired.
Moreover, most of the inner disciples had been taught by Elder Qian, and most of the people present treated Elder Qian with a teacher's courtesy.
When Meng Qingyang first worshiped the Ethereal Gate, he was also taken care of by Elder Qian, and when he saw Elder Qian coming, Meng Qingyang deliberately took Meng Mubai over.
"Elder Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your body is still so strong. ”
Bowing in front of Elder Qian, Meng Qingyang seemed to recall the days when he cultivated under Elder Qian, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a little reminiscence, and a touch of gloom was hidden in it.
"You're finally reluctant, Qingyang. ”
Looking at Meng Qingyang, who was saluting in front of him, Elder Qian held his left hand weakly, and said lightly with a rather complicated look.
Once, when Meng Qingyang had just entered the Ethereal Gate, Elder Qian had always been optimistic about Meng Qingyang and had invested too many expectations in him. And Meng Qingyang did not disappoint Elder Qian, and finally entered the inner gate with the first result in the inner door selection. It's a pity that just when Meng Qingyang was making a splash, he met a more outstanding disciple of the Ethereal Sect, and he was abolished Qihai Dantian, and he collapsed from then on.
Moreover, after being abolished from the Qihai Dantian, Meng Qingyang's former edge disappeared and became decadent, which also made Elder Qian very sad.
Therefore, for a long time, Meng Qingyang avoided Elder Qian, for fear of seeing Elder Qian's eyes that hated iron but not steel.
And when Elder Qian said a word to Meng Qingyang lightly, he saw the gloom in Meng Qingyang's eyes, and his mood was quite complicated, Zuihou sighed deeply, and then turned around and sat in the viewing seat.
However, when Elder Qian left, Su Mucheng stopped in front of Brother Meng Mubai for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Qingyang, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
"Senior Sister Mu Cheng, your cultivation has become more and more profound, presumably the seat of the disciple will be reserved for you after all. ”
Seeing the old man again, the corners of Meng Mubai's mouth finally raised a touch of bitterness, and there was a forced smile on his face.
As if he had seen through Meng Qingyang's heart, Su Mucheng glanced at Meng Qingyang lightly, then shifted his gaze to Meng Mubai's body, and said, "Senior Brother Qingyang, you have a good brother." Today's inner door selection, your brother will definitely be able to reproduce your glory that day. Moreover, I also hope that you will not continue to be decadent in the future, even if the Qi Sea Dantian is abolished, your cultivation can also be restored. At the very least, you have to think about your brother, I think he is very sad to see you as an elder brother every day. ”
Saying that, Su Mucheng glanced at Meng Mubai again, and said with a light smile: "Senior Brother Mubai, you must fight for your brother!"
"I will, Senior Sister Mu Cheng!"
Meng Mubai nodded heavily at Su Mucheng, his eyes full of determination.
And after Su Mucheng finished speaking, she turned around and went to Elder Qian to sit down, and at the same time, the selection of inner disciples was about to officially begin.
When Elder Qian and the other inner disciples took their seats, the hustle and bustle of the martial arts arena suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a touch of silence.
Meng Mubai also stood in the ranks of the outer disciples at this moment, and his eyes were locked on Elder Qian who was the leader, waiting for him to announce the start of the selection.
Under the gaze of many eyes, Elder Qian smiled slightly, nodded to the inner disciples around him, and then said loudly: "Today's inner disciple selection, thank you for coming to cheer up." All of those present were my Ethereal Sect disciples, who were familiar with the rules for the selection of inner disciples. The old man doesn't have much nonsense here, let's start the selection of inner disciples!"
After saying that, Elder Qian's eyes looked at Lin Qing beside him, who also smiled and nodded, walked into the martial arts arena, and said: "The selection of inner disciples is still the old rule, draw lots to select the ring for the competition, and after defeating all the opponents, you can obtain the qualification to enter the inner gate." You should have been preparing for this day for a long time. Now all the outer disciples obey the order and line up to draw lots!"
As soon as Lin Qing's words fell, the outer disciples in the martial arts arena began to line up in an orderly manner, drawing lots in the box in front of Lin Qing in turn.
There are a total of ten rings in the martial arts arena, and the outer disciples who have drawn the bamboo sticks will gather around the ring in turn, as long as they can stand out from the ring competition, they will be eligible to enter the inner gate. At the same time, the champions of each ring also have to participate in the competition of Zuihou, and the champions of the ten rings, Zuihou, will start the knockout round, and finally get the top three disciples in the selection, and they can get the spirit stones and elixirs given by the Ethereal Gate.
Therefore, for the spirit stones and elixirs given by the Ethereal Gate, the competition among the top three in each inner gate selection is also very fierce.
And Meng Mubai's target for the selection of inner disciples this time is also among the top three!
After drawing lots, Meng Mubai glanced at the bamboo skewer in his hand, which was marked with the words "Six-Thirteen", representing that Meng Mubai was the thirteenth contestant in the No. 6 ring. There are still six battles in front of him to decide the winner, but Meng Mubai doesn't need to prepare for the battle right away, he can observe the strength of other outer disciples below.
After the first six fights were over, the referee in the ring finally read out Meng Mubai's number.
However, when Meng Mubai stepped into the ring and saw the opponent in front of him, not only did the outer disciples under the ring burst out almost loudly, but even Meng Mubai couldn't help frowning slightly when he looked at the opponent in front of him.
"The opponent in the first round turned out to be him!"
"Situ Fall!"
