The outer area of the Fire Refining Cave.

It's late at night.

But at this moment, in this peripheral area, there were still a large number of peripheral disciples gathered, standing in groups of three or five, with almost all the expressions on their faces looking at the excitement. Of course, there are also strong shocks and horrors. The sound of discussion is endless...

"It's too strong... This Qin Yan is simply so strong... actually killed an inner gas blaster in seconds... One punch... Tsk, the power of that punch is simply like a dragon going out to sea and overpowering the mountains..."

"I didn't expect that such a demon appeared in our peripheral area. ”

"Demon, with the level of the Qi Realm within the Martial Dao, crossing a moat and killing an explosive Qi Realm in seconds, this can no longer be said to be a demon, it is simply the reincarnation of a demon god..."

"But now, it's hard to get things right... The above will definitely punish that Qin Yan, if you don't do it, you will be punished with capital punishment..."

"Yes, killing Senior Brother Neiwei should be a capital crime..."

"Now it's up to you to see if the above will cherish Qin Yan's talent... It's hard to say..."

......

At the same time, there were three deacon-level explosive powerhouses whose aura was equivalent to that of Deacon Nama, suspended in the void of the peripheral area, and their bodies emitted strong light, releasing invisible pressure, and locked Qin Yan with an extremely terrifying qi machine. Although they didn't make a move, if Qin Yan wanted to escape from the Fire Refining Cave, or even the slightest careless move, he was afraid that he would attract them to a critical attack.

At this moment, Qin Yan had already returned to the low mountain hut where he lived.

Feel free to sit at a stone table in front of a hut. Raising his head slightly, he looked at the void, the three explosive powerhouses with silver phosgene lingering all over their bodies.

Dai Cui and Bai Chongguan sat beside Qin Yan in fear, with expressions on their faces. It's all very hesitant.

"Qin... Brother Qin... This... I didn't expect that... You are hiding so deeply..."Bai Chongguan had a look of worship on his face, "One punch will cripple the senior brother who explodes the sky... It's amazing! This martial arts is shocking to the world! But... However, I don't know how the sect will deal with this matter..."

Dai Cui also had a sobbing face, "Qin Yan... You shouldn't have made a rash move... What now?"

on this. Qin Yan was very open-minded, he didn't regret it at all, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, "It's okay." If I don't make a move, those guys. If you deceive people too much, you will definitely destroy me. Rather than being slaughtered, it's better to strike first, and as for how to deal with it later, then we'll see..."

Qin Yan really didn't regret it.

If you don't have the strength to deal with it, you will naturally forbear, and if you have the strength to destroy the other party, you have to forbear, that is, you will lose the fierce and tyrannical spirit and evil spirit of the demon warrior. Self-grievance will inevitably cast a shadow in the soul.

Not to mention. The explosive martial artist 'Senior Brother Ye' just now was really too arrogant and domineering, and after Qin Yan beat him violently, he was also very happy in his heart at this moment.

The killing intent accumulated in the blood has been perfectly cathartic.

'Look at it... I killed the explosion realm in seconds, and the higher-ups don't know if they will value my strength... If the higher-ups insist on disposing of me. Put me Qin Yan to death, and I can only do the opposite... The fish is dead!' thought. Qin Yan's eyes also had a trace of cold murderous aura.

in the mind. The rune that exuded an aura of ancient terror was already tightly wrapped in Qin Yan's thoughts...

'Now that I have directly transformed, although I can't say that I have swept through the entire Fire Refining Cave, it will inevitably damage its vitality...' Qin Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and a hideous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Forced me to be anxious, after I transformed, I rushed directly into the inner enclosure area, and when I saw the inner enclosure disciples, I would be directly crushed!"

Qin Yan was also completely ruthless.

At this moment, the sound of breaking the sky swept from the inner area, and a light and shadow, like a meteor passing through the gap, left a brilliant and amazing ripple in the night sky. Then, a figure stood in the void.

but Deacon Ma, who came across the void.

Then, Deacon Ma called the three explosive powerhouses who were monitoring Qin Yan's movements.

Several people exchanged heads and discussed privately, and the three explosive powerhouses said goodbye and left, and their bodies swept back to the inner area.

The next moment, Deacon Ma descended directly on the low hill where Qin Yan lived.

"Horses... Hello Deacon Ma,"

Dai Cui and Bai Chongguan immediately stood up stiffly.

Qin Yan also stood up slightly, and looked at Deacon Ma.

"You two, go back to your lodgings. I'm going to talk to Qin Yan alone..."Deacon Ma gently instructed Dai Cui and Bai Chongguan.

His expression, his pleasant face, and even his eye sockets, had some praise, and it was by no means like he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Dai Cui and Bai Chongguan glanced at each other suspiciously.

"Deacon Ma, this matter is the 'Senior Brother Ye' in the inner circle, who wants to oppress Qin Yan, and Qin Yan has no choice but to resist... Please Deacon Ma, you must deal with it impartially..."Dai Cui couldn't help but pluck up her courage and said.

"Don't worry, this seat won't make things difficult for Qin Yan..."Deacon Ma smiled.

In this way, Dai Cui and Bai Chongguan left with a little peace of mind.

On the low mountain, only Qin Yan and Deacon Ma were left.

"Heh... Qin Yan, you kid, it's... Hidden deep enough..."Deacon Ma shook his head with a smile, and then walked straight to the stone table and sat down, beckoning Qin Yandao, "You can sit down too, this seat will talk to you..."

"Okay..."Qin Yan hesitated slightly, and then sat down, the tyranny and murderous intent boiling in his blood were suppressed and hidden.

"A martial arts internal qi realm, crossing the gap between heaven and man, defeating a heavy heaven with explosive qi, to be honest, this kind of thing, this seat is unheard of..."Deacon Ma looked at Qin Yan with a smile, and the admiration in his eyes was difficult to hide.

"Deacon Ma praised it falsely, I'm just a little brute force, and I can't get on the stage..."Qin Yan said humbly.

"Brute force?" Deacon Ma smiled dumbly, "Boy, don't pretend to be a ghost, rely on body refining, and defeat the explosive martial artist by leaping the ranks, it's just brute force?" hahahaha... In my opinion, at least it has been refined to the point that the qi and blood are amazing, and it naturally overflows. The realm of burning divine flames on the surface of the body, right?"

Qin Yan smiled dryly, noncommittal.

"Well, I'm not here to ask you about it... But..."Deacon Ma's face turned pale and became serious, "as a peripheral disciple." Private fighting, so that an inner disciple is disabled for life... To commit this kind of atrocity, you are the first in the history of my Fire Refining Cave..."

"The sect wants to deal with me?" Qin Yan was tense.

"Disposition, naturally, it is to be disposed of..."Deacon Ma nodded slightly. He immediately signaled Qin Yan not to be impatient, "The sect master personally made the decision and set the rules for how to deal with you..."

"What do you say?" Qin Yan licked his lips.

"Three months later, it's my annual qualifying tournament for the disciples in the inner circle of the Fire Refining Cave... The Sect Master lets you participate. Deacon Ma squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Yan, "If you can finally make it in this qualifying race." If you enter the top 30, then the sect master personally promises that he will write off all your mistakes... If you can't get into the top 30, you will naturally be punished separately..."

"What?Inner Circle Disciples' Annual Qualifying Competition?Top 30?" Qin Yan was a little confused.

But at least, Qin Yan knew that if there was a punishment this time. It won't be so straightforward either.

There's room for manoeuvre!

"Yes," Deacon Ma said with a hint of a smile in his eyes, "the inner area." An annual qualifying tournament. ”

After a pause, Deacon Ma patiently explained, "In the vast and vast sectarian world, whether it is a first-grade sect, a second-grade sect, or a third-grade sect. Even the four-rank sects controlled by the major clans, as well as the mysterious and endless five-rank sects of the Holy Kingdom. There is a lot of competition between them. And within the various sects, the competition is also fierce. Take our Fire Refining Cave as an example, if you are on the periphery, you are a marginal disciple, dispensable, and generally not taken seriously. Once the qi explodes and enters the inner circle, it is enough to get the affirmation of the sect and enjoy some resources that the outer disciples cannot enjoy. Talent is important in the martial arts, but various resources can also play a decisive role in a martial artist..."

"It's not true, but whoever enters the inner circle and becomes a disciple of the inner circle will be able to enjoy fair resource treatment. It's not like that..."

"The distribution of resources given by the sect to the inner disciples is based on... Rank!"

"Combat Power Ranking!"

"Disciples with high rankings naturally enjoy better and more high-quality resources. For example, among the top ten elite disciples in the inner circle, among the hundreds of inner disciples, they are in the top ten, and the sect resources they occupy are even envious and jealous of this seat... Not only are there all kinds of pills, heavenly and earthly treasures, and the supply of martial arts secrets, but there are even some qualifications for entering special trial sites..."

"Of course, in addition to dominating many resources, a high ranking also means that reputation..."Deacon Ma smiled, "such as the top ten elite disciples in the inner circle, one by one, what a beauty, how glorious?

"Ranked high, cultivated with infinite resources, and worshiped by thousands of people..."Qin Yan was also a little excited, "This is the so-called fame and fortune..."

"Yes, fame and fortune. Deacon Ma nodded affirmatively.

"Now, the punishment of the high-level for me is to let me compete with those inner disciples for rankings and fame and fortune?" Qin Yan's eyes condensed.

"Yes, Qin Yan, the sect master also thinks that you are a malleable talent, and your task is to enter the top thirty of the annual qualifying competition in the inner circle," Deacon Ma said in a chiseled manner, "If you can complete this task, compete as a peripheral disciple, and enter the top thirty disciples in the inner circle, then you will be the first person in Guan Gu Lingjin, and when the time comes, not only will you not be held accountable for your mistakes, but on the contrary, the sect's cultivation of you will be extraordinary... I'm going to try my best to nurture you..."

In this way, Qin Yan was a little nervous.

The demon blood in the body was faintly boiling.

Qin Yan understands that in order for a martial artist to progress and break through, he must constantly accept challenges. Now, his strength is invincible in the entire outer area of the Fire Refining Cave, and it is inevitable that there will be a sense of loneliness. Can't find new stimuli to continue to improve yourself.

The only way to continue to improve is to compete with the stronger!

Only in the face of an evenly matched opponent, or even a more powerful enemy, can the deeper potential of life be unleashed.

If the lion stays in the flock for a long time, its claws will slowly become sluggish, and it will become a sheep!

At this moment, Qin Yan had already decided that he was bound to participate in the annual qualifying competition of the inner disciples!

Invisibly, an ambition for hegemony and an indomitable fighting spirit emanated from Qin Yan.

This fierce aura was accurately captured by Deacon Ma.

Deacon Ma's eyes lit up, "Okay! Qin Yan, this seat really didn't misunderstand you! Your fighting spirit has already told me, you are not afraid at all!"

"Hey... Since I chose to enter the sectarian world, I was prepared. This road is bound to be bumpy, fighting with others, and dying for life... Pursuing the ultimate in martial arts, why should I, Qin Yan, be afraid?"
