Chapter 256: The Challenge Begins

"Haha! Little ones, I didn't expect you to come to the appointment as scheduled today! ”

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, I saw a figure passing by in an instant.

By the time everyone saw the figure again, the other party had already appeared in the seat in the center.

"The disciple has seen the Great Elder!"

Both the instructors and disciples in the academy respectfully saluted the old man on the seat at this moment.

For a time, thousands of voices gathered together, which was particularly shocking in the huge atrium square.

"It is worthy of being the Great Elder of Cangyun Academy, and he actually has such a powerful prestige in the hearts of these mentors and disciples!"

Even Luo Chen and the others on the competition platform were amazed by this spectacular scene.

Luo Chen, who came to his senses after a while, hurriedly shouted to the Great Elder Jiang Yuan not far away: "I hope the junior has not disappointed you!" ”

"Haha! Bub! ”

Jiang Yuan, who was dressed in a white robe, immediately laughed.

"Senior brother, it seems that you are in a very good mood today!"

Lin Xi, who was on the side, hurriedly stood up from his seat and said with a smile at Jiang Yuan.

At the same time, the other three elders also stood up one after another and saluted Jiang Yuan with their fists clasped into their fists.

"Oh? I didn't expect the fifth sister to be here today! It's really a rare guest! ”

Jiang Yuan, who had just paid attention to Luo Chen and the others, couldn't help but be a little surprised to find that Lin Xi, who had never liked to be lively, would actually appear in this square today.

"Look at what Senior Brother said, today is a big day for Senior Brother to accept apprentices, such an important day, as a member of the Five Elders, how can I be without the Fifth Sister?"

Lin Xi covered his mouth and chuckled, it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"Haha! Is it too early for the fifth sister to say this? Before the fight starts, you're sure that these little guys can succeed in the challenge? Or is the fifth sister a little not optimistic about the strength of the senior brother? ”

After hearing Lin Xi's words, even Jiang Yuan couldn't help but rub his beard and laughed loudly.

"Senior brother, this is wrong! The fifth sister is naturally very clear about the strength of the senior brother, but the strength of these little guys doesn't seem to be bad! The fifth sister actually means that these little guys may be better than the blue! ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi also followed Jiang Yuan's attitude and said a few words again.

The second elder Lu Li and the third elder Chu Fan on the side looked at each other, not knowing what to say, after all, only Lin Xi dared to say such a joke.

If it was someone else, he would not dare to say it in front of Jiang Yuan.

As for the Fourth Elder Qi Feng, he still looked like he didn't care about himself and didn't panic, but he suddenly squinted and looked at Luo Chen on the martial arts platform and frowned a little.

However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the fourth elder Qi Feng is not a little curious about Luo Chen, a young man, but very concerned about the black long sword that Luo Chen is carrying.

"It's such a powerful breath, I actually have a feeling of being spied on......"

After feeling a blazing gaze, Luo Chen also noticed Qi Feng, who was sitting on the seat not far away, staring at him.

"Could it be that this elder is a master of the sword? There must be more than one sword in such a huge sword case! ”

The huge sword box beside Qi Feng attracted Luo Chen's attention.

Maybe the people who practice swords at the same time, so the eyes of the two people on the field are a little sympathetic.

"I didn't expect that at my age, I could still see such a divine weapon, it seems that the senior brother's wisdom that has never been defeated in the academy is estimated to be planted in the hands of this young man. I don't know if the senior brother will be happy or unhappy at that time? ”

Looking at the black long sword that Luo Chen was carrying, Qi Feng secretly sighed in his heart.

To Lu Li and Chu Fan's surprise, Jiang Yuan didn't get angry because of Lin Xi's joke, but said to him with a smile: "Haha! In this case, wouldn't it be beautiful if the result of the challenge in a while could smooth the heart of the fifth sister! ”

Even Lin Xi, the person who made this joke just now, couldn't help but be surprised after hearing Jiang Yuan's such casual words.

After a while, Lin Xi came to his senses and said to Jiang Yuan: "Senior brother is worthy of being the great elder of Cangyun Academy, and senior brother's vision is really not comparable to that of the fifth sister!" ”

I have to say that even Lin Xi, who has always been unconvinced, was deeply shocked by Jiang Yuan's pattern at this moment.

It was precisely because of Jiang Yuan's otherworldly personality that he was able to enter the eyes of the dean of Cangyun Academy and was able to take on the heavy responsibility of the entire Cangyun Academy.

"Haha!"

I saw Jiang Yuan laugh loudly, and then waved his hand towards the second elder Lu Li.

After seeing Jiang Yuan's instructions, Lu Li immediately stepped forward and approached Jiang Yuan's side, and then Jiang Yuan whispered a few words in Lu Li's ear, and then swept to the top of the competition platform.

"Senior brother understands!"

Lu Li said respectfully to Jiang Yuan's back.

……

As Jiang Yuan entered the competition platform, the entire square instantly boiled.

For this Great Elder of Cangyun Academy, many of the Academy's disciples had never even seen the Great Elder make a move, after all, it had been a long time since anyone dared to challenge the Great Elder in all these years.

Therefore, in the eyes of these onlookers, the victory or defeat of this challenge did not matter, as long as they could witness the strength of the Great Elder once before leaving the academy, it would be a perfect end to the academy's cultivation path.

In the hearts of these people, they never felt that Luo Chen and the others would be able to challenge successfully today, although they admitted that the strength of Luo Chen and the others was indeed very strong, but to say that they wanted to challenge the Great Elder, it was still a bit of a fool's dream.

"Little ones! Is it too late to give up? Elder Ben, allow you to choose any mentor in the academy as your Master. But if you still insist on the challenge, you will not only suffer a meal of flesh and skin, but you may also be laughed at by these teachers and disciples! You know, over the years, no one has ever challenged me to succeed, even if I can only use 30% of my strength at most. ”

Until this moment, Jiang Yuan still planned to persuade Luo Chen and the others again.

As for the cultivation of Luo Chen and the others who broke through in such a short period of time, how could they escape Jiang Yuan's eyes, but Jiang Yuan didn't seem to be too surprised by the promotion of Luo Chen and the others. just glanced at Dongfang Yuelan on the seat, who was a little evasive.

Perhaps in Jiang Yuan's heart, he had already guessed the help that Dongfang Yuelan gave to Luo Chen and the others, but he didn't find out. After all, Luo Chen saved Dongfang Menglan's life, for such kindness, how could Dongfang Yuelan, who is Dongfang Menglan's sister, be stingy.

Although Jiang Yuan was very optimistic about the courage of Luo Chen and the others in his heart, he didn't want to directly extinguish the hopes of these young people because of this battle.

Besides, a person with cultivation talent like Luo Chen, who casually worships a mentor in the academy and continues to cultivate for a few years, still has the opportunity to challenge himself, and at that time, the winning rate of challenging again will obviously be much greater.

"The Great Elder's kindness, we understand it, it's just that the desperate cultivation in the past month is for today's challenge, so we will never back down! Please, Great Elder, make a move! ”

I saw that Luo Chen didn't hesitate at all, and directly saluted Jiang Yuan with his fists.

"Please, Great Elder, make a move!"

Xiao Hei on the side also shouted at Jiang Yuan in Luo Chen's appearance.

As for Ji Feng, he has already begun to urge his true qi and is ready to enter the battle at any time.

Looking at the straightforward attitude of Luo Chen and the others, Jiang Yuan didn't get angry, but stroked his beard and smiled a little proudly: "Since that's the case, then it's up to you!" Although Elder Ben likes your courage very much, in the next battle, Elder Ben will not show mercy! ”

"Please ask the Great Elder for advice!"

Luo Chen and the others said in unison.

Almost at the same time, Luo Chen and Xiao Hei both began to quickly urge the true qi in their bodies, preparing to fight with all their might.

Looking at the three people in front of him who were already ready, Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and turned to Lu Li and shouted, "Second brother, since this is the case, then announce it!" ”

After seeing Jiang Yuan's instructions, Lu Li nodded in response.

"This challenge is limited to one stick of incense! At that time, as long as Luo Chen and the others are in a stick of incense, there will still be one person standing on the competition platform, even if the challenge is successful, otherwise, the challenge will fail! ”

Lu Li shouted loudly to Luo Chen and the others in the square, and this deep voice spread to the ears of everyone in the square.

"I announce that this challenge has officially begun!"

As soon as Lu Li's words fell, there was a boiling sound in the entire square.

"Great Elder!"

"Great Elder......

Countless mentors and disciples kept shouting for Jiang Yuan, which was enough to see the position of Great Elder Jiang Yuan in the hearts of these people.

Still, there were some special sounds that rang out in the crowd.

"Luo Chen! Come on! ”

"Senior brother, come on!"

"Senior sister, come on!"

……

These are naturally the senior sisters and brothers who are obsessed with Luo Chen, Ji Feng and others.

There are also some disciples who have pinned their regrets for many years on Luo Chen and others, as if they saw their young selves in Luo Chen.

But even so, the crowd shouting for Jiang Yuan far exceeded Luo Chen and the others.

"I want to see, what is this Luo Chen's ability?"

Yao Shan, who was hiding in the crowd, gritted his teeth and complained.

"The people who can let the Great Elder personally take action, they really shouldn't have provoked them in the first place."

The iron bear hiding in the crowd had already begun to tremble a little after feeling Luo Chen's powerful aura.

"Luo Chen! You have to do it! If you succeed in this challenge, then I will be able to take advantage of you for nothing, after all, there is one more junior brother! By the way, and that little black, I can tease you when the time comes! Ha ha! ”

Thinking of this, Dongfang Menglan couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the appearance of her sister beside her, Dongfang Yuelan also shook her head helplessly.

Then, Dongfang Yuelan set her eyes on Luo Chen's body, and sighed secretly in her heart: "Why do I have a sense of solidity in him, is this an illusion?" ”

"Man Qian, I hope the little guy you said won't disappoint the teacher, otherwise the trip for the teacher will be in vain."

Seeing that the challenge was about to start, Lin Xi, who was sitting in the chair, also turned his head and whispered to Shui Manqian behind him with some curiosity.

After all, if it weren't for Shui Manqian's resolute pull on her at the beginning, even if it was the Great Elder's challenge, Lin Xi would not have come today.

"Master, I'm sure he'll win! I believe in him! ”

For some reason, in Shui Manqian's eyes, she was full of incomparable firmness towards Luo Chen.

Seeing his apprentice's determined expression, Lin Xi also chuckled.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen a young man who can make my apprentice believe so much, I hope this little guy named Luo Chen really has some strength......"
