On the fourth day of the review by the outer disciples, the list of the second round was officially posted. Due to the withdrawal of some personnel or the loss of qualification for the competition due to accidental injuries, only 75 of the 280 people in the first round entered the second round, and the 12 people who directly entered the second round when they signed up, a total of 87 people.

As Yuehua said, in the second round of the competition list, Li Yunuan and Ning Ping really didn't meet - Ning Ping was bye. Since there were a total of eighty-seven people in the second round, and Ning Ping had something special in the direction of Fu Gong, when the battle list was officially arranged, Ning Ping got a charter, had a bye, and directly entered the third round!

It's so unfair!

As soon as the detailed battle list was posted, more than a dozen outer disciples who participated in the review protested, but Ming Huifeng's voice was equally strong, they blatantly showed their posture of favoring Ning Ping, but it made Ning Ping's brothers in Woyunju hate the same enemy, and in the end, this turmoil could not be resolved under Feng Qi's mediation. It's just that in this way, it also confirms the rumor that Ning Ping was looked at differently by the teachers of Minghui Peak, and he must become an inner disciple this time.

("This general of yours is very scheming. ”）

The cold "eyes" watched the noisy Yuehua and let out a sigh of emotion.

Li Yunuan didn't understand, but she knew that Dao Yuehua's mind was the same as that of Brother Yeyin, it was nine turns and eighteen turns, if she was curious to get to the bottom of it, she would be led into the maze by their thinking patterns and couldn't get out. The next day she will go to the stone platform again, and she doesn't want to lose before she can fight because she thinks too much.

So she parted the crowd generously, stepped forward, and congratulated Ning Ping on her lucky bye, but Ning Ping saw her coming with a smile, but her face was embarrassed, and she fled without waiting for her to get closer, causing the brothers of Woyunju to laugh with unknown meaning, Yuehua in the sea of knowledge was even more funny, Li Yunuan was full of curiosity, and finally decided to turn a blind eye!

......

......

The second round of the competition was not as random as the first round.

Before the competition began, all the participants were brought into the Junzi Pavilion next to the Outer Gate Library, and asked them to pick a peachwood sword in the library according to their feelings.

Looking at the dazzling array of wooden swords on the wall, the disciples finally had no objection to the decision of the inner sect elders to allow Ning Ping to have a bye and directly enter the third round.

It's just that although there are many wooden swords on the wall, they are only fancy in style, and there is nothing peculiar. The three senior brothers in Group A, who had already built a foundation for less than four years, turned around carefully and determined that the hanging wooden swords were all mediocre, so no one picked one casually. The gap between cultivation and realm determines that even if they hold wood in their hands, they can easily defeat the opponents they met in the second round.

Compared with their leisure, the disadvantaged groups C and D appear to be indecisive.

Li Yunuan was particularly annoyed, she saw that the wooden swords on the wall were all exquisitely carved, but there was no practicality, and she was also hesitant, walking around, actually-

Almost hit Yang Xue!

Yang Xue, who was lucky enough to enter the second round because of forcing the freckle boy off the platform, was already holding back her unpleasantness, and when she saw that her eye-catching thing almost touched herself, she was even more angry, and before Li Yunuan found out, the big horn stepped forward and slapped her palm on Li Yunuan's shoulder.

"Hey, have you chosen?"

Shoulder suddenly received a heavy blow, although the body has been tempered by the Xingchen Peerless Technique, it is not the weak wind in the past, but it is inevitable that there is some pain, Li Yunuan turned around and saw Yang Xue.

"Senior Sister Yang has chosen?"

"I'm a self-aware person, I know what I'm capable of, if it wasn't for that kid jumping off the green platform by himself, I wouldn't have been able to enter the second round. So, just pick a handful, just think about not losing too ugly. ”

Yang Xue said as a matter of course, and indeed held an ordinary wooden sword in his hand.

She glanced at the wooden sword in front of Li Yunuan again, took one off, stuffed it into Li Yunuan's hand, and said disdainfully: "Anyway, you are just a foil, why bother to choose it? I think this one is good, hurry up and decide, don't let everyone wait!"

"Senior Sister Yang, you-"

actually talking to himself like this, Li Yu's shoulders were trembling with anger.

"What's wrong with me, I'm just telling the truth. No one wants you to succeed, otherwise why would it be that you have won, but the Taishi Ancestor will judge you as a draw? In the second round, Ning Ping will have a bye! You are just a stepping stone, do nothing, just lose. It's just that you are not sensible, you really think that you are valued by the Taishi Ancestor, and you will enter the inner gate and become a big man! Now it's okay, in the second round, you will directly draw the next lottery and face off with Senior Brother Duan Ganchang in Group A. He's a character who is condensed and can build a foundation in just a bit!Why do you bother to pick a wooden sword, and directly pray that Senior Brother Duan will have mercy on the jade, and his subordinates will be merciful when they compete! or——"

Glancing at Li Yunuan's face, Yang Xue spurned and said, "Just admit defeat when you play!" Anyway, you have always been at the bottom of Haoyueju, and this time you met Senior Brother Duan who was condensed eightfold, if you abstain, no one will laugh at you!"

"Yes, it turns out that you see me like this, I don't know whether I live or die, I don't know how to measure......" Li Yunuan muttered in a low voice, her voice was very low, she couldn't hear the ups and downs of emotion, and she hung her head again, and Yang Xue couldn't see her facial expression clearly, "Senior Sister Xie Lu cares." I know what to do. ”

"Senior Sister Li, I know that you are the smartest and most sensible!"

The self-righteous Yang Xue patted Li Yunuan on the shoulder again and left happily.

Li Yunuan still maintained a posture with his head down, and if he looked closely, he would find that his little shoulders were constantly trembling.

However, she was ignored too much, and only Xu Yuanyuan, who was ten steps away, noticed the abnormal mood. Xu Yuanyuan looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so she walked to Yu Nuan's side and comforted: "Don't listen to Yang Xue's crazy words, she has always been at the bottom of Haoyueju, and finally met someone worse than her, I don't know how happy Lu Dao is." She is most afraid of you being a blockbuster when you compete, and you will completely compare her to ......"

However, Li Yunuan didn't listen to Xu Yuanyuan's comfort, she raised her head, and the corners of her eyes were a little red.

"Senior Sister Xu also thinks I'm definitely going to lose, right?"

Xu Yuanyuan was speechless for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said, "The double condensation qi is against the eighth condensation qi, how can it ...... But I have confidence in Senior Sister Li, you usually work harder and harder than everyone else, and this time you will definitely impress the teachers!"

"Xie Lu, Senior Sister Xie. ”

Li Yunuan said stiffly, anyone can see that Xu Yuanyuan's encouragement is purely out of politeness, after all, it is two condensation qi versus eight condensation qi, unless a miracle is born, otherwise-

In fact, if Senior Brother Duan hadn't been able to sign up due to an accident during the last outer disciple review, he would have been an inner disciple a long time ago.

The future is worrying, Li Yunuan sighed lightly, and was about to seize the last time to pick a wooden sword in his hand, and the drumbeat of the gathering sounded.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Li Yunuan didn't dare to slack off, so she grabbed the peachwood sword that Yang Xue casually stuffed into her hand and walked out of the Gentleman's Pavilion quickly.

("Sure enough, everyone thought you were a stepping stone!")

In the sea of knowledge, the sound of the moonlight and uncertain sounded again.

......

......

"Senior Brother Duan, it's still ...... Please be merciful. ”

Li Yunuan, who barely straightened his waist, trembled and saluted the young man in light blue clothes opposite him.

Although Senior Brother Duan Ganchang's height and appearance were very ordinary, just standing in front of him, Li Yunuan could feel the powerful gap, and the air was filled with a terrifying aura, which made his legs tremble, and he couldn't stand anymore.

Is this the thing called coercion that a high-ranking monk naturally exudes when he deals with a low-ranking monk?

("This cultivation also dares to call yourself a monk? You are too golden!") In the sea of knowledge, Yuehua lost no time in sneering. The sudden ridicule made Li Yu's warm body tremble, but it also miraculously made his trembling hand finally grasp the wooden sword. Li Yunuan suddenly realized that Yue Hualiang was working hard, secretly said thank you, looked up at Senior Brother Duan Ganchang again, and also overcame his fear, and looked directly into his eyes frankly.

That's right, you haven't built a foundation yet, so what qualifications do you have to be called a monk!

I dare to reprimand even a character like my predecessor who kills Jin Dan like a dog!

Inexplicable self-confidence surged from his heart, Li Yunuan held his head high, and said to Duan Ganchang: "Senior Brother Duan, please advise!"

She was suddenly so calm, which made Duan Ganchang a little stunned, squinted his eyes, and praised: "Senior Sister Li is really as confident as rumored. ”

"I just don't want to lose without trying!"

Li Yunuan shouted loudly, took a step, pinched the trick with both hands, and the wooden sword drew a smooth arc in the air.

"I have been in the school for less than a year, and because of my dull qualifications, I have not been able to formally learn the superior swordsmanship of the sect. In this battle, I had no choice but to use the family heirloom swordsmanship to get the axe. I heard that Senior Brother Duan's swordsmanship is the best among the outer disciples, and even the senior brothers and sisters of the inner door often seek out senior brothers to learn, if there is a smile and generosity, please forgive me!"

In the second round, he competed with a wooden sword, but Li Yunuan had not learned a sword since he entered the sect, so he had to work hard to compare a few tricks, and at the same time lay out the excuse early.

But relying only on these tricks, can you really get through?

Li Yunuan was convinced of Yuehua's predecessors' abilities, but she always had doubts about herself.

- If you don't even believe in yourself, what can you rely on?

Finding that her consciousness should not be shaken, Li Yunuan hurriedly scolded herself, she closed her eyes, hoping to encourage herself with the sweet time she once had, but what appeared in front of her was the memory of Brother Yeyin holding her and running together in the Nantang Palace!

Flames flying in the sky, endless wails, and - human heads rolling all over the ground!

Ahh

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and these terrible breaths that were enough to make the faint of heart dizzy brought her unprecedented excitement, and the fear and excitement in the deepest part of her memory were resurrected together.

With her eyes wide, she saw the same excitement surging in Senior Brother Duan Ganchang's eyes.

"I don't know how much pain Lu Dao suffered in order to practice the sword, but it was all worth it, at least for now!"

Muttering, Senior Brother Duan stood up straight, and although the wooden sword in his hand was held, it shone dazzling white under the scorching sun.

Whew-whew-

The wind blows, blowing the fishy smell of those who stand against the wind.

"It's too late to abstain. I am a sword cultivator, I died by a sword, even if I hold a wooden sword in my hand, I don't see blood and don't take it back!"

Duan Ganchang announced in a low voice, cracking his mouth open, revealing Sensen's white teeth.

Li Yunuan raised her head and looked at the hot sun in the middle, sweat flowing down her forehead, as uncomfortable as a caterpillar crawling over.

"No," she said, "never! I will never abstain!"

Ridiculously insisted, but Duan Ganchang didn't laugh.

The five fingers were released and tightened in turn, and a low groan seeped out from the ground, and the white arc light instantly split the air!
