After Chen De bought the Yiqi Pill in such a hurry, he went to Zhang Zhiliang, which had a lot to do with this grading competition.

There are still about four or five months to go, and the grading competition is about to begin.

Chen De's cultivation realm cultivation had reached the seventh layer, and moreover, his Ren vein had already been opened, and he was the first to open it.

Now, Chen De meditates every night, focusing on the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, which is the most time-consuming.

Zhang Zhiliang entered the Pulse Cultivation Realm much later than Chen De, and his innate qualifications were only average. Now, Zhang Zhiliang is three floors lower than Chen De, and has just reached the fourth floor. Among the new disciples who entered the realm, they were considered to be at the bottom of the list.

Zhang Zhiliang and Chen De are both in the sect, and there are no other minor repairs with backgrounds. Except for the moon stipend, he has no way to earn spirit stones.

So far, it is not known what it tastes like. And many of the disciples of the same period had more or less taken the Qi Benefiting Pill that helped to improve the realm in the Pulse Cultivation Realm.

Although Zhang Zhiliang's knife skills are very good, the realm is too low.

When competing, as long as the opponent focuses on defense first, and when Zhang Zhiliang's physical strength decreases, he can easily defeat him.

Because in the realm of nourishing the pulse, the higher the realm, the stronger and more powerful the body, the more sensitive, and the longer the breath, the better the physical strength.

No matter how good Zhang Zhiliang's knife skills are, as long as the opponent does not have a big loophole, he can be consumed by the method of consumption.

Chen De used this method to win Zhang Zhiliang. Chen Dexian focused on defense, occasionally counterattacked one or two knives, and after more than 100 rounds, he began to counterattack, Zhang Zhiliang gradually couldn't resist, and finally had to admit defeat.

For the sake of his friend not to be ranked lower in the grading competition, for the sake of his friend's future, Chen De has to help his brother no matter what.

In the grading competition, the worst ones, that is, those who are at the bottom of the rankings, will be demoted to miscellaneous labor. No one wants such a fate to befall them.

When he arrived at the Tiangong Palace, Zhang Zhiliang was not in his room.

In a rented refining room, Chen De found Zhang Zhiliang, who was helping a senior brother to forge magic weapons.

Most of the magic weapons made of metal need to be forged after being removed from the casting mold to remove impurities and obtain the ideal shape, and they also need to be quenched, annealed and other treatments to change the properties of the material, or keep the material in a certain state to facilitate engraving.

Chen De took out a jade bottle, handed it to Zhang Zhiliang, and said, "Next, it's for you." ”

Zhang Zhiliang, who looked puzzled, took the jade bottle handed by Chen De, and after opening the lid, a medicinal fragrance that penetrated his heart wafted into his nostrils.

Immediately, he knew what was inside, and Zhang Zhiliang, who had a cold face, "Aha!" jumped up.

provoked the tall, strong and dark senior brother to look at it very seriously, and looked at the two of them carefully for a while.

When he learned that Chen De had given three Qi Benefiting Pills to Zhang Zhiliang, he nodded slightly, and saw a slight change in Chen De's eyes.

Zhang Zhiliang regained his youthful nature, and embarrassedly touched his head to introduce Chen De: "This is Senior Brother Melanaxiong, the senior brother I just met. ”

Then, he said to Melanachon: "This is Chen De, my good brother, I told you. ”

Melanachon stretched out his long, long, thick fingers. He grabbed Chen De's hand and shook it hard.

Chen De screamed "eh" and cried out in pain.

Melannaxiong's face was grim and he said, "This is my hometown handshake gift. If you are willing to accept a man as your friend, reach out and hold his hand firmly. ”

Zhang Zhiliang asked, "It's that simple?"

Melanachon's big voice rang out again: "The men in my hometown are all enthusiastic and bold, and they speak and do things straightforwardly. Even so, men do not reach out easily. ”

Hearing this, Chen De felt a little moved in his heart, and immediately said, "Senior Brother Xie carries love!"

Knowing that the two had something to say, Melan Naxiong waved his hand to let Zhang Zhiliang and Chen De leave together.

As soon as he went out, Chen De asked Zhang Zhiliang how confident he was in the grading competition.

Zhang Zhiliang replied: "Before you came, I was worried that I would be classified as Grade C or D. Now, I'm confident that I'm going to fight for the second division. ”

To be classified as a D class, that is, to be demoted to miscellaneous labor.

Grade C is barely qualified, Grade B is well-qualified, and Grade A is excellent. If you get the top eight, it is a special gift, and each palace or pavilion will give another reward.

Because the number of new disciples joining the sect is different each time, the ranking of each level basically changes slightly every year.

However, one thing remains the same: the principle of double elimination is used every time.

The so-called double defeat stops means that in the competition, if you have lost once in the front, but as long as you remain undefeated in the next competition, you can always reach the last game and compete for the first place.

If you win in the first place match, you are first, and if you lose in the first place match, you are second, which is exactly a double loss.

The double defeat can be relatively fair, which means that after these new disciples lose once, they still have a chance to fight for a good ranking.

The double defeat is still quite far from being fair and reasonable.

To take an extreme example: a person has the third strength, but after the competition starts, he meets the second strongest player in the first round and loses, and in the second round he meets the first strong player and loses again.

Therefore, this unlucky kid originally had the strength of the third, but he did not enter the top eight at all, and may even end up in the top sixty-four, such a ranking could not be entered.

That's everyone's luck.

In the world of monks, luck and chance are very important, and sometimes they often dominate the monk's cultivation, realm, and even life and death.

Another thing that remains unchanged is that it is stipulated that only a few martial arts such as the Bahuan Knife, the Fengyun Twelve Style, and the Extreme Spear can be used.

Because, each new disciple has a different background and family background, therefore, before joining the Tiantai Sect, some disciples may have practiced superior martial arts, while others have no martial arts at all.

If there is no restriction, the ranking of the final competition may reflect more of the level of the new disciple's family martial arts and the thickness of the family martial arts background, which is very different from the original intention of the sect to judge the merits of the new disciple's cultivation qualifications.

After limiting these martial arts, the competition between disciples was relatively fair.

Of course, it is still far from absolute fairness.

For example, before a disciple enters, he has learned martial arts at a high level and has already practiced a strong martial arts, although he can't use the martial arts that he has been immersed in for many years in the competition, but his martial arts foundation is there, and he still takes a great advantage.

Naturally, such restrictions are much better than no restrictions.

After returning from Zhang Zhiliang, Chen De put in more strenuous training.

On the martial arts training ground, it is often full, and new disciples who go later will not find an empty seat to practice. The only way to look elsewhere is to look elsewhere.

Naturally, it is good to practice in the martial arts training field, because the teaching and training will guide the disciples in the martial arts training field.

The lukewarm Mona Sect of the Heavenly Scar Palace spends about an hour and a half every day instructing these new disciples.

Almost an hour and a half a day, it was not easy for these high-level cultivators who hated not having enough time to cultivate.

However, if the responsible teacher does not teach the new disciple seriously, he will have to suffer.

Because, the Tiantai Sect has such a rule: after the first eight disciples of each palace compete with each other, the bottom few will be punished for their teaching. At the top of the rankings, they will be rewarded for their teaching. Among the rewards, most of them are the cultivation resources that have been punished and taught, and a small part are additional rewards from the sect.

Such regulations can't help but make these teachings unsatisfactory.

The competition for the position of the martial arts training ground is becoming more and more intense, however, because there will be instructors on the scene, it is basically decided on a first-come, first-come, first

So much so that later, when some people were at home, they were the disciples of the lazy son, so they simply spent spirit stones to buy a position.

It actually gave birth to some disciples who got up early to occupy a position to sell spirit stones, which made people laugh.

In the lively martial arts training ground, Chen De is often seen.

And Chen De often changed weapons to practice, and among some of the disciples around him who were tired of practicing, there were often some good deeds, and after they stopped, they pointed at Chen De.

This annoyed Chen De.

Mona also once persuaded Chen De, telling him that he would not chew too much if he was greedy, and he would be stronger if he specialized in one of the martial arts.

However, although Chen De seems to be relatively gentle, he is sometimes very stubborn when he is young.

Especially now, so many people are pointing at him, and he has a stubborn temper when he has a fire in his heart. The more they talked, the more he insisted.

Once, a group of people were coaxing on the side, Chen De couldn't help it, and it just so happened that Mona was teaching in the martial arts training ground. Chen De challenged the person who was the most cheerful among them.

Although the precepts of the Tiantai sect have regulations: disciples of the sect are not allowed to engage in private fights and brawls. However, the challenges and exchanges between the disciples were encouraged. Especially when there is a much higher level of cultivation as a judge and caretaker, there is no problem.

This disciple joined the sect in the same year as Chen De, and his name was Zhuang Xifei, with a large face, a slightly upturned chin, and a thick man, slightly taller than Chen De. He specializes in knife skills, and Chen De offered to compete with him.

Zhuang Xifei heard Chen De's proposal to compete with him, and his face changed.

However, with so many people present, he didn't dare to back down. He said to Chen De: "If you dare to provoke me, I will make you fart and pee!"

Chen De sneered: "Forgive you for not having that ability!"

When Mona was invited to judge, he groaned for a moment and agreed.

Then, he cleared a field for Chen De and Zhuang Xifei.

Before the start of the competition, Mona reiterated to the two as usual the rules of the competition between the disciples of the sect: the competition needs to be the main point, and it is not possible to play heavy.

Before Mona announced the start, the disciples who watched the excitement surrounded the martial arts arena for a long time.

Mona Teach-in announces the start of the tournament.

After the two saluted with knives in both hands, Zhuang Xifei took the lead in launching an offensive.

Start with a mountain opening style, and chop the head with a knife.
