PS: According to the plan, this chapter should be VIP, but after waiting for a day, the editor didn't change the status, it should be because of the National Day holiday. I'm sorry, but the release date is uncertain, it may be these days, or it may be waiting for the National Day holiday to end. But the matter of adding more is still counted, and it is almost three more at present, and it will be returned after it is put on the shelf.
――――――
"Channel...... Gone. Seeing the light and color channel in front of him disappearing, Zi Yu, who was fighting with the nine gold-armored swordsmen, was suddenly stunned, and the movements of the nine gold-armored swordsmen also stopped, and they directly turned into scales and disappeared.
Ziyu frowned, "Is it Mo Zilin?" Yes, it must be him." ”
At the same time, the seventy-two silver-armored warriors around him suddenly disappeared, and Xun Qian immediately showed an unwilling look, "It must be Wu Kun, with his strength, the first stage is definitely very fast, even if the second and third stages are delayed, it is enough to be a big step ahead of others." Is my biggest opponent going to throw me behind?"
But for some reason, Xun Qian's mind saw the figure of Ye Tianxun, "Why do you think of him? Is it because I am too tired? With his little strength, it is estimated that he will not even be able to survive the first stage." ”
The same scene played out with the rest of the players who passed the first stage, and everyone began to guess who had won the final reward after seeing the passage disappear.
The players who had been eliminated in the first stage were not immediately sent out of the Starry Night World, but were sent outside the tower. Tens of thousands of players sat cross-legged on each of the two battlefields, and all night long they were debating how tough the final challenge would be and what the final reward would be.
"Look, isn't that the Inner Domain cultivator Mo Xing, who is said to be a genius of the Triple Dao Domain, how come even he has been teleported out?"
"Haha, it must be that the challenges behind are too difficult, and even a top genius like them can't pass it. ”
"In this way, it seems that we are not wronged to be eliminated. ”
......
As time passed, a top genius from the Inner Realm was also sent out from inside the giant tower, and many cultivators from the Outer Realm couldn't help but have more to talk about. So many powerful Inner Domain geniuses were eliminated, and their failures were insignificant.
At this time, the Void Will descended: "The first stage of the Heavenly Army Selection Contest is coming to an end, and the countdown begins, ten, nine, and eight ......"
With the last sound of the countdown, a pillar of light immediately rose under everyone's feet, and they were sent out of the starry night world.
In the mysterious space, Ye Tianxun, who sat among the stars, was also shrouded in light, and he took one last look at this mesmerizing space, and then disappeared.
On the third thousandth floor of the Heavenly Army Department, all the low-level masters were teleported here.
Seeing the familiar real world, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath greedily, "It's finally over, and the air here is still intoxicating." ”
"yes, it's over before you know it. Now is the battle in the ring, if it weren't for the participation of that group of Inner Domain cultivators, we might all become Heavenly Soldier Seeds, but it's a pity. ”
"By the way, who got the final reward?"
"It must be one of the top geniuses in the Inner Domain, but looking at the faces of the top geniuses here is not very good, it is estimated that they were obtained by the mid-level master battlefield. ”
......
Ye Tianxun was also teleported to the third thousandth floor, and after seeing him appear, the surrounding cultivators from the outer realms took the initiative to greet him.
"Hey, monster, why didn't I see you outside the tower before, how was it, how many rounds did you break through?"
"I've heard that there are as many as nine rounds of humanoid creatures, and in my opinion, the monster has at least made it to the seventh round. ”
"Not only that, I think it's the eighth round, or even the ninth round. ”
"Monster, see that you don't say a word, because you didn't get the final reward, it's okay, with your qualifications, sooner or later you will catch up with that group of arrogant geniuses in the Inner Domain. ”
Ye Tianxun was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the people around him, and he remembered that when he first came here with a group of earthly cultivators, any foreign realm cultivator looked down on them. But when he showed his strength, the attitude of these people immediately changed a hundred and eighty degrees.
The strong are respected, this is the principle that the cultivator world will never change. As long as you show enough strength, or enough potential, you can easily earn respect.
Ye Tianxun was about to say a few words casually, when a loud voice suddenly came from above, "Everyone present, congratulations on passing the first stage of the Heavenly Army Selection Competition, and now you are a real Heavenly Army." ”
"Now please report to the military office and prepare for the ring battle in three days. Whether you become an ordinary celestial army, or whether a celestial soldier is a celestial general seed, depends on your performance in the ring battle. ”
Everyone showed their fighting spirit, and they all knew that rushing into the top three hundred was the Heavenly Soldier Seed, and rushing into the top three was the Heavenly General Seed, and this quota had not increased due to the arrival of the Inner Domain cultivators, so they had to compete with the Inner Domain cultivators for these places.
Although the purpose of the Inner Domain cultivators was not to join the Heavenly Army, but to challenge them at the end. However, once you sign up for the Heavenly Army Trials, you can't quit halfway except for being eliminated with no more than 10,000 points.
As a celestial army subordinate to the legendary Tianzun, even if you are a member of the inner domain family, you can't come and leave as soon as you want, otherwise where will the face of the celestial army go?
However, apart from the true top geniuses, most of the cultivators from the Inner Regions were not treated well by the family, so instead of being treated unfairly in the family, it was better to be valued in the Heavenly Army Department of the Outer Regions.
"Monster, let's report to the military office together. ”
"Haha, it's easy to become a Heavenly Soldier Seed with the strength of a monster, and then it's up to you to take care of it. ”
Everyone warmly invited, although they knew that most of the cultivators around them were hypocritical, it could not be ruled out that some people were sincerely blessing themselves, so it was not easy to refuse.
Just as Ye Tianxun was about to report to the military with them, at this time, a black-robed man with a long sword suddenly walked in front of him.
Seeing that the black-robed man even covered his face, the cultivators in the outer regions couldn't help but wonder, how could there be someone who didn't show his true face?
Ye Tianxun's eyes moved, and he said, "You guys go first, this is a friend of mine, and we have something important to talk about." ”
Hearing that the visitor was Ye Tianxun's friend, everyone couldn't say anything, so they left one after another, and there were only two people left in the whole venue, Ye Tianxun and the black-robed man.
The two were silent for a long time, and then, Ye Tianxun spoke, "How do you know I'm here?"
"Feeling. The black-robed man suddenly chuckled, "My self-perception has always been wrong, but I didn't expect to be so accurate to you." ”
Ye Tianxun also smiled, "Isn't it a surprise? The opponent who fought with you for three hundred rounds at the beginning was just a small three-turn master. ”
"To me, any surprise you show is not an accident. But the only thing I didn't expect was that you were really so bold and showed your true face, aren't you afraid of the revenge of our sect in the Eastern Margin Domain?"
Ye Tianxun was still smiling, "I will change my face when I have to, and I am not afraid of their retaliation if I stay in the Heavenly Army." ”
At this time, the black-robed man sat directly cross-legged, behaving extremely naturally, "On the path of cultivation, I always thought that no one could compare to me, but now that I think about it, what you said at the beginning was right. ”
Ye Tianxun also sat down cross-legged, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?
The black-robed man admitted frankly, "Yes, one move was defeated." But that man can still see the distance to me, and sooner or later I will surpass him. At this point, he paused, "For some reason, I can't seem to see the distance between you and me clearly. ”
"It's because you're ahead of me, I'm just a low-level master, and you're a middle-level master. ”
"Nope. The black-robed man shook his head, "I said before, my self-perception is always wrong, but my feelings for you are always right. You are the strongest genius in the Eastern Domain, and you will surpass those top guys in the Inner Domain. ”
"Maybe it's already surpassed. The black-robed man smiled, "I heard about the final challenge, how was it, where did you go?"
Ye Tianxun remained silent, and after half a ring, he still didn't say a word.
The black-robed man's body trembled violently, his hands seemed to be clutching the ground fiercely due to excessive fright, and a heavy voice spat out from under the black-robed face: "I didn't expect it, no, it's true, it's true, you are always creating accidents." ”
The two fell silent again, and the breeze was light, ringing in their ears.
After a while, Ye Tianxun spoke again to break the calm: "In addition to arrogance, you gave me the feeling that in addition to arrogance, there are the same things as me, that is, there are important things in my heart. I guess that's why you participated in the Heavenly Army Tryouts. ”
"I also feel that the things in your heart are heavier than mine, and we both have a long way to go. ”
"Yes, it's a long way, it's a long, long ......" Ye Tianxun murmured softly, not knowing whether to respond to the black-robed man or to himself.
"You'll go faster than me, farther than me. The black-robed man stood up suddenly, "Don't bother you, the next step is the ring battle, I thought that you were the same as me, because of the appearance of the Inner Domain cultivator, you couldn't get the quota of the Heavenly General Seed, it seems that you are too worried." Maybe you'll get a spot on the legendary King Seed. ”
Ye Tianxun also stood up and said, "I firmly believe that even if you don't get the quota of the Heavenly General Seed this time, you will definitely get it next time." ”
According to the practice of the Celestial Military, every ten years, the Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals will re-engage in ranking battles between the Celestial Soldiers. Even if you are a Heavenly Soldier Seed, if you perform poorly, you may not even be able to reach the Heavenly Soldier Seed. And if you make rapid progress within ten years, you will be promoted from the Heavenly Soldier Seed to the Heavenly General or even the Heavenly King Seed.
"I think so too, and I hope I feel right this time. The black-robed man turned around, "I'm leaving, I won't tell you anything about you, including my clan." ”
Looking at Xie Poo's distant figure, Ye Tianxun suddenly felt that he was so bleak and lonely. He, like himself, fought alone for the important existence in his heart, but he was even more bitter than himself.
"The path of a cultivator is not only a path full of danger and killing, but also a path full of desolation and loneliness. ”
Ye Tianxun sighed heavily, and then calmed his throbbing heart, the ring battle was about to start, and he had to go all out to have any hope of winning the Heavenly King seed.
