Qin Yan was not verbose, he just reached out directly and reached into the black wooden box. ∷Top∷Point∷Small∷ said,

As far as the eye can see, there are pieces of wooden signs.

Qin Yan didn't think much about it, and almost randomly pulled out a piece.

A large group of peripheral disciples watching the excitement next to him immediately shifted their eyes and stared at the numbered plate that Qin Yan had drawn.

"It's number 5... Senior Brother Qin Yan won the No. 5 card..."Immediately, some peripheral disciples saw the number on the sign clearly and exclaimed.

"Hmm, yes, it's the No. 5 card," Qin Yan also quickly swept the number on the wooden card in his hand. '5', unmistakable.

"In other words, Qin Yan, the group you are in is the fifth group..."Deacon Ma's face was slightly unnatural, but he also quickly took out a booklet and recorded Qin Yan's name and the group he was in, "Qin Yan, the seeded player of the fifth group, is naturally the fifth place in the last qualifying competition, a female disciple among the top ten elite disciples, named 'Zhan Qiushui'... In fact, in the past year, Zhan Qiushui has made remarkable progress among the top ten elite disciples. What she practiced was a king-level middle-grade boxing method, 'Tiger Roaring Emperor Boxing', taking the road of hegemony, shooting like stormy waves, the sky collapsing, the best at vicious battles, and a set of counterattacks in adversity. In fact, this time, many elders are optimistic that 'Zhan Qiushui' can advance to the top three... I have to say, Qin Yan, you have won five groups, and you are a little unlucky..."

Hearing this, Qin Yan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say anything.

The peripheral disciples on the side were a little anxious for Qin Yan.

"That's it, Qin Yan, don't be too frustrated, the specific schedule, on the day of the competition, there will be an elder who will personally announce it. However, based on the experience of previous editions, each of the ten teams will determine the top three. Proceed to the next stage. Qin Yan, the five groups you are in have a total of more than 50 participating inner disciples, Zhan Qiushui should be determined to win the first place in the group and advance with his head held high, and there are two places left, you can still compete for them," Deacon Ma said with relief.

'Oh, ten groups, three people in each group, that's thirty people in the second stage. This time, Deacon Ma told me that as long as I get the top 30 in the annual qualifying competition of the inner disciples, I will retire and no longer punish me for beating Senior Brother Naye... In other words, as long as the group appears, everything will be fine..."'Qin Yan's heart moved slightly. However, having cultivated the three body refining techniques, coupled with the use of dragon blood, Qin Yan's target at this time. No longer satisfied with the group appearing!

When Deacon Ma was comforting Qin Yan, his eyebrows couldn't help but reveal some helplessness.

When the group appears, it is to lock in a top 30 position. But. Ten groups, trying to break through in any group, is not an easy task. Not to mention, the five groups that Qin Yan selected. There is a strong Tianjiao like Zhan Qiushui in charge.

Moreover, in addition to Zhan Qiushui, there are also many explosive double heavens in the five groups.

So far. Deacon Ma had already decided that Qin Yan would not be able to accomplish the goal given by the sect master.

'I only hope that Qin Yan can win a few more games in the five groups, showing enough tenacity, extraordinary will, and talent worthy of the Sect Master's attention... In this way, the sect master will punish him, and he will also be punished lightly...'

Deacon Ma adjusted his mood and gently patted Qin Yan's shoulder. "Qin Yan, the big war is coming, don't think too much, today you can go back and rest, recuperate, tomorrow I will take you to the inner area of the inner circle, the day after tomorrow, this year's inner circle disciple qualifying tournament will officially kick off..."

Qin Yan nodded. Deacon Ma drifted away.

Then, Dai Cui, Bai Chongguan, and a group of peripheral disciples rushed up, surrounded Qin Yan, and talked about it.

Casual chatting for a while. Qin Yan returned to his place of residence with Dai Cui and Bai Chongguan.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Deacon Ma really came to find Qin Yan early in the morning. Lead Qin Yan into the inner area.

Climb over a few mountains and walk through a primeval old forest. Finally, Qin Yan entered the inner area of the Fire Refining Cave. He immediately looked around curiously.

In this inner area, the abundance of aura far exceeds that of the periphery. Far and near, mountains are steep and hiding, invisibly exuding palpitating coercion. The clouds are steaming. There are all kinds of tame beasts. Dotted with lakes from time to time, it is clear and clear. In this huge area, the vegetation seems to be favored by the essence of the sun and the moon, and even the ordinary plants and trees are extraordinarily green, like jasper jade.

This inner enclosed area, unlike the outer area, can be seen everywhere with sect disciples. After all, the area of the inner enclosure area was many times wider than that of the periphery, and the number of inner enclosed disciples was very rare, so Qin Yan raised his eyes and looked around, and he had not seen a single inner enclosed disciple for the time being.

Quiet, elegant, ethereal, hazy, exotic flowers and plants are everywhere.

It's like a pure land outside the world.

Those pavilions and buildings dotted with beautiful trees and flowing springs and waterfalls are even more like the places where the gods live, which is fascinating.

Qin Yan was completely impressed.

"Let's go, Qin Yan, I'll arrange a place for you to live for the time being," Deacon Ma smiled and walked around the inner area with Qin Yan, "Early tomorrow morning, the bell will ring, you follow the bell, and you can arrive at the martial arts arena... Of course, I'll come and pick you up..."

Qin Yan could feel Deacon Ma's care and importance for him, and his heart swelled with gratitude for no reason, and he said respectfully, "Thank you Deacon Ma for taking care of the juniors. Please rest assured that the juniors will not let Deacon Ma down in this qualifying race..."

"Hahaha," Deacon Ma smiled happily. "It's okay, just do your best. Qin Yan, you are only seventeen or eight years old, and you haven't exploded yet, you don't have to rush for a while, maybe in another three or five years, this inner disciple qualifying competition will be your stage! This time it's to catch ducks on the shelves, you just do your best... Don't worry, regarding the punishment, I will write a joint letter with a few elders, asking the sect master to be lenient..."

"Uh..." Qin Yan was speechless for a while. Deacon Ma's words were obviously revealed, and he was actually not optimistic that Qin Yan would be able to make a splash this time.

Qin Yan didn't say anything more. No matter how much you say, it's not as powerful as actual action!

Not long after, Deacon Ma arranged Qin Yan to a beautiful mountain peak, halfway up the mountainside, surrounded by clouds and mist, there was an attic carefully built by green bamboo, and the whole body exuded a refreshing faint fragrance. It's heart-warming.

"Qin Yan, you will stay here tonight, don't worry. There will be no inner disciples to disturb you..."Deacon Ma explained, and then left.

Qin Yan stayed.

On this day, Qin Yan didn't cultivate anymore, but just chewed a 10,000-year-old blood ginseng to consolidate his qi and blood, and by the way, he was hungry.

More time, Qin Yan stared out of the window, watched the distant mountains and rivers, and adjusted his mentality.

Day 2!

The first rays of light in the morning descended on the inner area of the Fire Refining Cave.

Accompanied by the twilight. It's a magnificent ancient bell...

"Knock~~~~~~~~knock~~~~~~knock~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

This bell was calm and atmospheric at first, and then the rhyme became strong, like a war drum on the battlefield.

The sound of the bell shook away all the clouds in the sky.

The sound of the bell rang in every corner of the fire refining cave, and also spread to the outer areas. When everyone hears this bell, they have a feeling of blood boiling, and they almost can't help but want to look up to the sky and roar, impassioned.

The bell is also calling the inner disciples who participated in today's competition. Quickly rushed to the martial arts arena.

Moreover, under the auspices of some deacons, tens of thousands of disciples on the periphery also poured into the inner area in an orderly manner. Enter the martial arts arena and watch the battle.

The entire fire refining cave was lively and boiling. Arrived at the most glorious time of the year.

"Whew~~~~~~~ it's finally going to begin!"

Qin Yan lifted his spirits, tidied up his clothes, and then strode out of the bamboo building.

Follow the bells.

Just down the hill. Deacon Ma arrived as promised.

Today, Deacon Ma is also dressed neatly, wearing a golden robe, as if he is going to a grand ceremony.

"Let's go, Qin Yan, the game is about to start, I'll personally take you to the martial arts arena," Deacon Ma also showed a hint of faint excitement. He is also very interested in this annual qualifying competition.

"There's Deacon Rauma..."Qin Yan thanked him repeatedly.

Subsequently, the two walked side by side.

Finally, along the way, Qin Yan saw a lot of inner disciples who were rushing to the martial arts arena!

These inner disciples were all full of energy, their breath was amazing, and there were obvious fluctuations in battle qi lingering on their bodies. And with invisible coercion.

Qin Yan even saw several powerhouses of the Explosive Dual Heaven.

And the inner disciples naturally saw Qin Yan as well.

Their eyes immediately revealed all kinds of expressions...

Disdain, indifference, contempt, surprise, disgust, ridicule...

Various.

It must be known that Qin Yan has almost become a celebrity in the entire inner circle. Of course, it is a typical example of 'notoriety' and self-indulgence.

As an outer disciple, it is the first time to participate in the annual qualifying competition of inner disciples.

When the inner disciples learned of the news, they were all in an uproar.

Ninety out of nine of the inner disciples were all smiling, and they all wanted to see Qin Yan's appearance in the ring.

Even some of the inner disciples also had a hatred for Qin Yan. Especially some of them made friends with the 'Senior Brother Ye' who was disabled by Qin Yan.

At this time, when I saw Qin Yan at first glance, if it weren't for Deacon Ma by his side, there would definitely be many inner disciples who came over to despise Qin Yan in various ways, and even threatened and intimidated him.

In the face of all kinds of unfriendly eyes, Qin Yan's mood was as calm as frost, his thinking was not affected at all, his face was neither humble nor arrogant, and in the end, he simply did not squint.

In this regard, Deacon Ma on the side praised it a lot, and he couldn't help but look up to Qin Yan again. After all, the identity of Qin Yan's peripheral disciples in the competition is really too unusual, and it is completely different. Standing out like this, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of contradiction and subconscious panic in my heart. But Qin Yan didn't.

Compact, stable.

People are like ancient wells, and they do not make waves.

This is indeed an indispensable quality to become a master.

After walking for a while, finally, a huge martial arts arena in front of him jumped into Qin Yan's field of vision.

As high as 100 zhang, it covers a vast area, and is made of rough boulders, exuding an ancient atmosphere, telling the glory of the year. Standing is to give people a sense of awe, and even a kind of spiritual horror oppression.

The atmosphere of this fire refining cave martial arts arena is that I don't know how many times more solemn than the martial arts arena of Longteng City, and there is a difference between the two!

Deacon Ma took Qin Yan and entered the inside of the martial arts arena from a special passage.

Inside the martial arts arena, there are a large number of ancient rings. Row upon row. Every ring is boundless. The whole body is black, and some formations are engraved on it, making it solid.

In the surrounding circle, there is a stepped viewing platform, which reaches into the sky, and the viewing seats are densely packed like honeycombs.

Qin Yan made a preliminary estimate that the viewing platform in this martial arts arena could accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people!

It's huge! The whole martial arts arena is too huge!

The individual is in it, as small as an ant.

At this time, on the stepped viewing platform. There are already tens of thousands of peripheral disciples seated.

But... It is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of seats, but it only sits tens of thousands of people, which seems a bit sparse.

'Uh... The Fire Refining Cave, a long, long time ago, was once a dominant second-grade sect, so the scale of the martial arts arena must also be huge, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. But the river is declining, decaying, therefore, at this moment. But it can only accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it seems to be empty... Thus, on the other hand, it also reflects the embarrassing situation of the fire refining cave... I think. Many years ago, in the heyday of the Fire Refining Cave, there were hundreds of thousands of seats on the audience. It's definitely full...'

Qin Yan's mind kept running.

"I don't know what year and month, the audience stage of this martial arts arena can be full again..."

"Qin Yan, I still have some things to be busy with, you first find the participating disciples who belong to your group to sit down..."Deacon Ma hurriedly ordered, and when he turned his eyes, he pointed to a piece of the contestant's preparation area, "Over there, over there is the preparation area of the fifth group, you can go over by yourself..."

Qin Yan looked in the direction of Deacon Ma's finger...

Under the ring, there are no more, no less, ten areas.

Each area is numbered.

From one to ten.

Qin Yan also quickly saw the preparation area numbered 'Group Five'. At this time, in the five groups of preparation areas, dozens of explosive disciples were already seated.

"Okay, Deacon Ma, juniors are over," Qin Yan nodded.

Deacon Ma took a deep breath, stared at Qin Yan, and encouraged, "Qin Yan, the game is coming, I won't talk any more nonsense, come on!"

Qin Yan nodded heavily, and then walked directly into the five groups of preparation areas over there.

......

Qin Yan entered the five groups of preparation areas.

At this time, dozens of wooden chairs were placed in rows in this preparation area. Most of them were seated.

A few wooden chairs remained vacant and unoccupied.

At the forefront, there was a wooden chair that stood out from the crowd, but no one went up to sit on it.

'Let's find a random place to sit down first...' Qin Yan didn't say a word, and found a wooden chair in the back row to sit down.

At this time, dozens of participating disciples in the five groups all stopped talking one after another, and their attention shifted to Qin Yan's side.

The momentum of these people is very violent, very fierce, some like a torrent, some like a storm, and some like a volcano.

Qin Yan looked inward, his eyes were not looking around, he was just observing with the corner of his eye.

Of the dozens of disciples in the five groups who participated in the competition, most of them were Explosive Qi Double Heavens, and among them, there were only 5 Explosive Qi Double Heavens.

These five people have the most unruly temperament, and they have a flamboyant and domineering spirit. In addition, when these five people looked at Qin Yan, their eyes were the most disdainful, like a king looking down on ants.

"Five Explosive Twin Heavens, this should be the most competitive of the five groups...' Qin Yan quickly calculated in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the front, the single wooden chair, "That wooden chair, no one dares to sit down, it is estimated that it is the seed player who belongs to this group, Zhan Qiushui, who ranked fifth last time... In other words, these five groups, not counting those who have the potential to explode a heavy day, my main competitors, a total of six...'

Each group, with only three places, can appear in small groups.

And at this time, the five groups of this area also broke out into some discussions...

"Oh, it turns out that this outer disciple has won five groups... That's interesting..."

"Hmph! The guy who doesn't know the height of the sky is so thick that he actually ran to participate in the qualifying competition for no reason, it's just a way to kill himself!"

"Don't be bumped into by me, otherwise, you will be killed by a punch,"

......

Qin Yan completely ignored these discussions.

At this moment, all of a sudden, Qin Yan felt an oppressive force like a mountain pressing his body.

A white-robed man sitting in a few rows in front of Qin Yan stood up directly, turned his head to look at Qin Yan, and locked his gaze. He was in his thirties, with a face carved out of marble, perfect contours, handsome, and full of masculine charm.

At this time, this man was looking at Qin Yan murderously, with a sword in his eyes, as if he wanted to cut Qin Yan's throat invisibly!

The whirlpool of battle qi was steaming on the surface of his body, revealing that his cultivation was a real explosion of the double heaven!

"Boy, you are the peripheral disciple who is not self-sufficient, Qin Yan? You are so rebellious, you actually beat Senior Brother Ye violently, hmph! You have a little hole card, but I want to see what other means you have today... I hope you don't meet me in the ring, so that you can enjoy some more time alive..."

A ferocious killing aura was transmitted to Qin Yan's mind with the gaze of the white-robed man, making Qin Yan extremely uncomfortable.

Obviously, this white-robed man who exploded into the double heaven had a good friendship with the 'Senior Brother Ye' who was crippled by Qin Yan on his back.

Qin Yan didn't care and didn't look at him.

"Hmph!" the white-robed man snorted fiercely and sat back heavily.

Qin Yan ignored it disdainfully, and looked at a viewing platform in the extreme distance in front of him. It seems to be a VIP area there. At this time, in that area, a huge gilt list was erected. Wave in the wind.

On the gilt list, there are some large golden characters written.

Qin Yan understood at a glance that it was the names of ten people.

At the top of the list..."Emperor Feitian"

The second name..."Tengjiao'

The third name..."Left Eagle'

......

The fifth name is 'Zhan Qiushui'

......

On every name, there are thousands of rays of light and thousands of ruiqi.

"The names of the top ten elite disciples in the inner periphery..."Qin Yan knew in his heart, "It is indeed beautiful, the gilded list text, the writing of the name, the manifestation of vision, the overriding of many inner enclosures, the worship of people, is the pride of the sect... Glory is true glory. ”

Below the gilded list, on the VIP seat, there was also a figure sitting at this moment. It was too far away, Qin Yan couldn't really see it, but he vaguely saw the figure of Deacon Ma.

The figures seemed to be talking to each other, judging and pointing out the country. Even though they are extremely far away, there is still a faint sense of oppression in that shadow. Maybe that figure didn't deliberately exude coercion, but after looking at it for a long time, it still makes people tremble spiritually. It's as if there is a group of kings, sitting there, standing at the peak, with a height of aura overlooking all living beings.

'I don't know if the current sect master of the Fire Refining Cave is in the VIP area of the viewing platform in the distance...' Qin Yan couldn't help but think in his heart.

That's it!

On the spectator platform, tens of thousands of people screamed at the same time!

"Top Ten Elite Disciples! Top Ten Elite Disciples are here!"

The atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena was instantly raised to a boiling realm!

"The top ten elite disciples are here!"

Emotions are as high as a landslide and tsunami!

Qin Yan couldn't help it, and followed the prestige.

......

......

...... (To be continued......)
