On the sword platform, the principal of the South Campus first gave a speech, and after the end, the presiding sword cultivator came to the stage to announce the rules.

The format is a single-elimination tournament with eight rounds until a winner is determined.

The rules of the match are also relatively simple, first divide the grades by realm, and then draw lots to face off.

When Xia Yan passed the primary selection, the realm was only in the early stage of the double stage, which was the lowest among all the contestants.

So when the draw began on stage, Xia Yan was faintly worried.

You must know that on the fifth floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, there is also a congenital realm student.

According to the current lottery rules, if you can't do it well, you will have to match it in the first round.

Soon, the results of the draw came in.

There was a huge display board of lottery results on the stage, and it was pushed around the field.

All the students' name tags are hung at the bottom and they are played one by one.

This kind of brand has only two lines of words, one is the name and the other is the realm.

Xia Yan took a closer look and found that his opponent in the first round was called Jiang Xiaoai, the early stage realm of the quadruple the day after tomorrow.

Chen Wenbing's opponent is called Mao Xueyi, a triple peak.

Then Xia Yan looked at the realm of all the students again and found that there was no innate realm.

The highest realm in this is only the middle stage of the fourfold.

Xia Yan felt a little strange in his heart, and asked Chen Wenbing beside him: "All the students who passed the primary selection in the South Campus are on this display board?" ”

Chen Wenbing was already full of worries, and when he saw his matchup, he was even more confused.

Xia Yan's question, he was absent-minded and didn't hear it clearly, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"As far as I know, there is a student from the Innate Realm on the South Campus, but there is no such person on the display board." Xia Yan said.

"Yo, it's rare that you still know her." Chen Wenbing shook his head, "I thought you had been locked up at home all day for the past few years to cultivate, and you didn't know anything about the things in the Academy. ”

"You know her, too?"

"Nonsense, that's the famous Nan Imperial Sword." Chen Wenbing rolled his eyes.

"Her name is Minami Edgeworth?" Xia Yan was surprised, "Such a strange name? ”

"Whew, that's a nickname." Chen Wenbing said, "In recent years, our Ten Thousand Swords Academy Palace has risen four geniuses of the Innate Realm, all of whom are mutant sword species.

One each in the southeast, northwest, and northwest campuses, standing out from the crowd in their respective campuses, far behind other students.

So the students gave these four monsters nicknames, called "North Kunlun", "South Imperial Sword", "West Wangnu", and "East Taixu".

The one in our South Campus is Nan Yujian.

It is said that she stayed on the fifth floor of the Hidden Sword Pavilion all day, and the other students did not see her, nor did they know what her real name was. ”

"Then she didn't compete?" Xia Yan asked again.

"How could she not compete?" Chen Wenbing said, "But you think, if a person from the Innate Realm runs to the preliminaries, it's not a tiger entering the flock, there is no suspense at all."

Therefore, those four innate realms directly represent the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and they are not participating in the internal selection of the Academy, which is equivalent to being escorted.

Then our Ten Thousand Swords Academy Palace is one of the largest cultivation palaces in the Yuqing Dynasty, and there are six places in the Academy Palace.

So in addition to these four, there can be two.

The current campus preliminaries, including the subsequent selection of the school palace, to put it bluntly, are to let others compete for these two places.

Of course, this kind of thing is far away for both of us.

I haven't had a show in my life, you, the sword species mutated too late, there is hope for next year, forget it this year. ”

Someone beside Xia Yan said lightly, "Forget it this year, since you have arrived at the sword fighting platform, you have to go all out." Before I even hit it, I started to get deflated, waste. ”

Chen Wenbing took a look and found that Gu Zhantang had already sat next to Xia Yan at some point, and protested: "Gu Maniac, I'm talking to Xia Yan, what are you doing here?" ”

A trace of depression flashed on Gu Zhantang's face, and he pointed to the group of Kuo Shao from Wushan Town behind him: "This is the farthest away from them." ”

As he spoke, the first sword fight under the stage was about to start.

The first round of the preliminary round is very numerous and is divided into three days.

It was just announced on the stage, and the order of the matches was carried out from left to right according to the position of the display cards.

Chen Wenbing's name is in the second group on the left, and it will soon be his turn.

And his own famous brand is also relatively high, with only about ten games in front.

"It's okay, die early and live early." Chen Wenbing muttered on the side.

As he spoke, he drew the sword he was carrying with him and placed it on his lap.

Xia Yan looked at him from the side, feeling somewhat sympathetic in his heart.

Before Chen Wenbing said that he would win a few rounds, it was a half-truth joke.

He knew that he couldn't win a few rounds, but he must have been lucky, and wanted to meet a weaker one and pinch a soft persimmon.

But as soon as the results of the match came out, the opponent was a student at the peak of the triple.

The realm is the same as him, but the realm of others is solidly practiced.

Xia Yan didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat him on the shoulder.

"It's fine." Chen Wenbing smiled, "I really can't win, but your opponent is in the early stage of the quadruple, and he will be even worse than me." The hush money given to Xiaocui in a while, you have to get a big head. ”

Now Xia Yan finally found a way to comfort him, and nodded: "Okay." ”

While speaking, the sword platform has been cleared.

The 100-meter-square large sword fighting platform does not allow students to fight swords in ordinary times.

The venue is too large, and it is not easy to be knocked down from the stage to divide the winner or loser, and the two sides are fighting to the death on the stage, with a high casualty rate.

If you want to fight swords in this kind of venue, you must have a master of the school palace who has advanced cultivation.

One is refereeing, and the other is protection.

At this time, the sword cultivator who presided over the draw stepped down from the stage, and the display card was carried down, leaving only the two students standing opposite each other, and the referee master standing between the two.

As soon as the referee's raised hand fell, the man stepped aside.

The two figures, with sword light, slammed into each other.

The sound of the symphony of gold and iron kept coming, accompanied by the muffled sound of strong thunder.

Xia Yan couldn't take his eyes off it.

Since he came to this world, this is the first time he has watched the sword fight between the students of the Academy.

According to the memory of the predecessor, this group of students is generally solid in cultivation, and they usually fight swords, and they are not weak in actual combat, but who is this score compared to.

A swordsman like Gu Zhantang was born in the rivers and lakes, and he is used to licking blood with his sword, and almost every time he makes a move, it is life and death.

The swordsmanship in his hands are all killing techniques.

And the swordsmanship of the Sword Pavilion in the Academy Palace is essentially a cultivation method, which is used to increase the cultivation of the body, and the actual combat effect is only taken into account.

Therefore, even if it is like "Drilling Sword", the actual combat is already very fierce, but once he meets Gu Maniac, Xia Yan has no chance to use it before.

At this moment, the two students on the stage are both early stage cultivators of the Triple League, and their abilities are close, and they are very lively on May Fourth.

Chen Wenbing had a long sword on his knee, watching the battle while waiting, gasping from time to time:

"Can it still be like this?"

"Wow, that's a great move."

"Huh? Can you get it back? ”

And Xia Yan looked at it and felt that it was really good for two eighteen or nineteen-year-old children to be able to fight like this.

It's just a little hypnotic, and I'm sleepy.

Gu Zhantang, who was beside him, shook his head: "Two wastes." ”

As soon as Madman Gu's words fell, the competition on the stage ended.

The referee intervened and separated the two who were still fighting.

One of the students was already covered in a lottery, and his shoulders were covered with blood.

The other student, panting and unharmed.

At the end of the fight, the latter won.

Beside Xia Yan, Chen Wenbing stood up.

Chen Gongzi looked solemn, made a sword flower in his hand, pulled the long sword behind his back, turned to the group of young people in Wushan Town and said:

"Brothers, I'll go back when someone Chen goes, let's lose people and not lose the battle, the movement must be big!"

The crowd responded:

"Great! Senior Chen, you can go on the road with peace of mind. ”

"Is it like talking about going on the road with peace of mind?"

"What should I say?"

"Generosity is righteousness!"

"You might as well go on the road with peace of mind!"

Everyone was so excited that they almost didn't fight.

Chen Wenbing touched his face, as if he regretted it a little, and asked softly, "Xia Yan, shouldn't I bring them here?" ”

Xia Yan looked helpless: "You go down quickly, your name is already being called below." ”

At this time, on the sword fighting platform, the presiding sword cultivator said loudly: "Chen Wenbing! If you don't come to power, you will abstain! ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Chen Wenbing hurriedly responded and hurried to the stage.

As soon as Chen Wenbing left, the group of young people in Wushan Town began to get busy, and it sounded like a lot of movement.

Xia Yan turned his head and looked, what kind of dogs barked, birds chirped, crickets and crickets, none of these, they should have been talking and playing before.

I saw that in the chaotic crowd, one of them took out a gong and struck it "bang".

So on and off the stage, all the attention was attracted by them.

Immediately afterward, a banner was held up by them, pulled left and right:

"Wushan Town Xia Yan will win"

As soon as they pulled it out, they looked up, took it back again, and changed it again:

"Wushan Town Chen Wenbing will win"

Then the group of people opened the boxes they were carrying and quickly took out the guys inside.

Erhu, pipa, guzheng, dulcimer, ruanqin, drums, and a set of thirteen bronze chimes.

These instruments were all laid out, and the stage seats on this viewing platform were almost full.

This arrangement seems to be exquisite, with the drums in the first row on both sides of Xia Yan and the chimes in the last row.

Other musical instruments are scattered, and this group of people in Wushan Town has one hand.

The little cui girl in Cuihua Lou has changed into a set of colorful pendant gold dance clothes at some point.

Holding two long swords, she walked to Xia Yan in the front row, with her back to him, facing the sword fighting platform.

Xia Yan was stunned.

Not only him, but more than 20,000 people in the audience all looked at the viewing platform in the northwest corner.

At this time, the gong stopped, and Xiao Cui's two swords in her hands were slowly raised.

Immediately after that, a drum sounded, and various instruments began to sound.

Xia Yan looked back and saw that the group of young masters in Wushan Town were shaking their heads and playing very devotedly.

It's a pity that Xia Yan doesn't understand the rhythm and can't understand what they are playing, so he feels that the momentum is very strong, and it makes people's blood run high when he listens.

"This is the Yuqing Trap Song." Madman Gu said softly.

Xia Yan turned around again, and on the sword fighting platform below, Chen Wenbing's battle was about to begin.
