When Xia Yan was on Feihe's back just now, he saw that the crowd on the sword field was roughly divided into two groups.

One group was on the south side of the sword field, which was supposed to be the registration and screening area for the primary election, and there was a long row of tables surrounded by many people.

And more students gathered near the sword fighting platform.

The south school talks about the sword field, there are nine sword fighting platforms in the middle, one large and eight small, the small sword fighting platform is surrounded by flat ground, there are no seats, everyone stands and watches the battle.

The large sword fighting platform in the middle has a circle of stepped seats next to it, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people.

The so-called sword field mainly refers to this venue.

According to the previous convention, this venue was used for the preliminary round.

In today's primary election, only the eight small sword fighting platforms around will be used.

At this time, the students are crowded around these eight small sword fighting platforms, waiting for the results of the screening in the south to come out, and watching the excitement on the fighting sword platform.

Xia Yan and Chen Wenbing first squeezed through these crowds of people, walked south, and went to sign in to be screened.

These two people are well-known in Wushan Town, and the students in the town count them as the oldest, and there is no one who doesn't know them.

Here, the "prestige" of these two people is greatly reduced, these are serious students, living in the dormitory of the campus, and will not go to Wushan Town, which is hundreds of miles away.

And at this time, Xia Yan deeply felt the weight of ten years.

The surrounding juniors and sisters are all wearing the school uniforms and sword robes of the South Campus, all white, with cyan sword patterns on the cuffs, and they all look relatively immature, the youngest is twelve or thirteen, and the largest is eighteen or nineteen.

As for himself and Chen Wenbing, school uniforms have long been gone, and they are all sword robes customized by the tailor shop in Wushan Town.

Two twenty-four-year-old young men, with mature faces, did not look like students at all.

As soon as the two of them entered the crowd, those students thought it was a teacher from another campus, and bowed one after another.

Xia Yan still had to make a face, so he kept silent about it, and walked forward with his head down.

Chen Wenbing had no psychological burden, he was arrogant, and deliberately walked very slowly, as if he was enjoying such treatment.

Xia Yanhe had to know this goods, his steps were a little faster, and he took the lead in the screening area.

The primary selection of each campus is to select students who are eligible to participate in the preliminary round.

In order to prevent favoritism, the supervisor of this campus, Jian Xiu, only recommends places, but does not participate in the screening, and teachers from other campuses come to preside over it.

At this time, in the screening area, students are lined up.

Xia Yan found the shortest line and stood at the back.

In front of them, there are nine lamas who are helping students in turn, verifying their cultivation, and then reporting the results of the screening directly.

After registration, the students go to the side to receive a "passed" or "pending" sign.

Therefore, the voices of the lamas are rising and falling:

"A peak cultivation, elimination."

"Double initial cultivation, elimination."

"Double peak cultivation, to be determined."

"Triple initial cultivation, passed."

At this time, Chen Wenbing also came over, lined up behind Xia Yan and said: "I'll go, in previous years, the initial stage of the double was to be determined, but this year's requirements are high." ”

"Looks like so." Xia Yan didn't have a bottom in his heart at this time.

I am a double early stage cultivator, and according to the current trend, I will be eliminated.

At the front of the team, a young man turned around and said, "Don't the two seniors know? This year, there is a big sword, so the realm requirements are high. ”

"Great sword?" Xia Yan and Chen Wenbing both looked puzzled.

The young man replied, "I also just heard from the supervisor Jian Xiu. The Great Discussion Sword is held every ten years, and it has only been ten years since the establishment of our South School, so this is the first time, and everyone doesn't know. ”

Xia Yan asked, "Tell me in detail, what kind of event is this?" ”

The young man said: "Senior, that is the top sword competition in the entire continent, and only the winners of the sword competitions of the major imperial palaces are eligible to participate. I've also heard that those top cultivation sects will only select disciples on the Great Discussion Sword. ”

"The Great Discussion Sword is participated by the winners of the School Palace Discussion Sword, and under the School Palace Discussion Sword is the School Palace Selection, which was the campus preliminaries before, and now it is only the primary selection of the campus preliminaries." Chen Wenbing folded his hands and counted them, and then asked, "There are several layers in between, does it matter?" ”

"The Great Discussion Sword is only held once every ten years, and in order to enter the top sect, many people will gather to participate, and the overall number will far exceed that of previous years." The teenager explained, "So in the primary selection, we must raise the realm requirements, otherwise the number of people will not be reduced, and the competition system will not be arranged." ”

"Oh, I see." Chen Wenbing nodded, then glanced at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, and he didn't know what to say.

Only then did he know that every ten years, above the sword in the school palace, there was also a big sword.

This should be good news for him, which means that he has the opportunity to enter the top sect.

But as a result, in the first step of the long march, he was about to stumble, and he couldn't pass the preliminary selection of the campus preliminaries.

I only heard the young man ask in a young voice, "Two seniors, what realm are you in now?" ”

Xia Yan didn't say anything.

"Me." Chen Wenbing tilted his head, "Triple mid-term." ”

"Wow!" The young man hurriedly exclaimed, "This senior is so strong in cultivation, there must be no problem in the primary election." ”

"That's what I thought too." Chen Wenbing nodded, "What about you, junior brother?" ”

"I'm not older than I am, only in the early stages of the triple." The young man bowed his head and said, looking a little ashamed.

Chen Wenbing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, young man work hard, the future is yours." ”

"Thank you seniors for your encouragement." The boy clenched his fists, turned his head and continued to line up.

"Hey, Xia Yan." Chen Wenbing leaned into Xia Yan's ear at this time and said softly, "Why don't you stop lining up and wait for me outside." ”

"What's wrong?" Xia Yan asked.

Chen Wenbing persuaded: "Hey, I know that I can't get by, but I still go up and be read out, isn't this humiliating in vain." Let's not be angry with this, you go outside and wait for me. ”

Xia Yan shook his head.

For a moment now, he was indeed very lost.

But at this point, there is nothing that can be done.

If you don't pass the primary election, not only will you not be able to enter the sect, but you will also be swept away by the school palace.

In the future, I can only practice in the secular world, and it will definitely be much more difficult.

But with the Zhuxian Sword and the experience of the wilderness, everything is possible.

Prepared for the worst, Xia Yan had the bottom in his heart.

It's just that if these words are said to Chen Wenbing now, the timing is not right, so Xia Yan said: "I can be eliminated, but I can't retreat." ”

Chen Wenbing was slightly stunned, then gently patted Xia Yan's shoulder and said no more.

……

The screening process is fast, and the queue is constantly shortened.

In front of the team, a few families were happy and a few were sad.

Most of the boys and girls are simple-minded, and everything is on their faces.

Some of these juniors and sisters got to leave happily, some got to be determined and full of heart, and some were eliminated and cried.

After a while, it was Xia Yan's turn.

There was an obese middle-aged man sitting in front of him, motioning for Xia Yan to put his hand on the table.

was verified by someone in a hand-to-hand way, this is the first time for Xia Yan, and he has no experience.

He could only comply, and then watched as the middle-aged man put three fingers on the veins of his wrist.

In an instant, a strong and pure internal force suddenly rushed into Xia Yan's veins.

Xia Yan only has a double initial realm, and he has not yet condensed his internal strength, so he has no way to resist.

You can only let this internal energy flow everywhere in the meridians in your body, and finally enter the dantian.

Xia Yan's whole body was shocked, knowing that something was going to happen.

His dantian is not an ordinary sword species.

The ordinary sword species, within the acquired fivefold realm, is just a mass of air, with neither form nor consciousness.

But Xia Yanli's dantian is a Zhuxian sword, although it is not smart enough, but it is conscious in the end.

The dantian is invaded by other people's internal strength, and it will inevitably react.

Between the lightning and the fire, Xia Yan was about to instruct the Immortal Sword not to act rashly, but it was too late.

In the dantian, the Zhuxian Sword stood up, just like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly.

And the obese middle-aged man opposite Xia Yan was like being bitten by a snake, and he withdrew his fingers like lightning.

Then he turned his face and bent down, "Wow" a mouthful of blood spat out.

Xia Yan was stunned, and everyone at the scene was stunned.

"It's kind of interesting." The fat on the middle-aged man's face trembled, his face turned pale, he wiped the blood on the side of his mouth with his hand, and looked back at Xia Yan, "What's your name?" ”

"Student Xia Yan." Xia Yan was uneasy in his heart, and quickly replied.

"When did your sword species mutate?" The middle-aged man asked again.

As soon as the middle-aged man said this, the people around him also woke up and exclaimed:

"What?"

"Sword Mutation?"

"Wow, he's so lucky, isn't he?!"

"As soon as this big sword comes, what kind of monster has come out!"

There was a lot of discussion among the students around him, and even the teachers from the other campuses behind the long table began to talk to each other:

"This South Campus is not simple, I underestimated them before."

"Yes, I thought that they had only been established for ten years, and there was a big gap between them and our campus in terms of faculty and student quality, but the result was ......"

"I didn't expect it, people actually hide two mutant sword species, tsk."

"This year's school palace is going to be lively."

The front and back of the table were messy, and the middle-aged man seemed to be very dissatisfied with such an interrogation environment, and shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet! ”

This time, the surroundings were quiet.

Xia Yan's mind turned quickly at this time.

He knew that he couldn't hide it.

But fortunately, there is no need to hide it.

Mutant sword species are indeed rare, but they are not considered outliers.

There were nearly 50,000 students in the four campuses of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and he had heard that there were four mutant sword species.

And the sword species mutates, not necessarily stronger, but just becomes unconventional, which has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that once the sword type is well developed, it will have the strength characteristics that ordinary people do not have, and the strength can stand out from the crowd.

The disadvantage is that the sword type is special, there is no inherent rules to follow, and the practice is risky.

Those geniuses who died early in history were often mutant sword species.

At this time, since the other party had noticed it and asked him about the time of the sword mutation, Xia Yan had no need to hide it, and said, "Ten days ago." ”

"It's no wonder." The middle-aged man said, "You obviously have a mutated sword species, but your realm is so low, you haven't even condensed your internal strength, and it is indeed not long since you mutated." ”

"Yes." Xia Yan responded.

"Mutant sword species are extremely rare, and the possibilities are endless. It's my luck to meet you here. The middle-aged man looked a little relieved, and then looked at Xia Yan worriedly and said, "However, I see that you are not young, and if you have stayed in the lowly realm for so long, your original talent and understanding should not be enough."

And your mutant sword species is so fierce.

I'm afraid your future path of cultivation will not be easy.

Remember, you don't want to be fast.

If you can't talk about the sword this year, there will be next year, don't be in a hurry.

You are an acquired mutant sword species, even if you reach the upper limit of the Academy, the Academy will still let you participate in the next session. ”

"Thank you, Master, for the reminder." Xia Yan's heart was slightly touched.

This is called the Master of Fangmanshan Academy, and he is indeed a teacher, and he doesn't care at all when he is injured, but is worried about his future as a student.

It turns out that if the sword species mutates, he will not be kicked out of the school palace.

I knew this was the case, and I said it myself from the hospital bed at the time.

But listening to the meaning of Fang Manshan's words, this is to eliminate yourself?

"Hope to see the day you really rise." Fang Manshan paused slightly, and then raised his voice and said, "The early stage of the double cultivation is the mutant sword species, and it passes." ”
