Chapter 131: Double Battle (I)
Elder Jin Shi patted his forehead and said, "There is this rule, there has been no suitable disciple for the past two years, and I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." ”
"I agree, there are no rules." Huoyu deliberately glanced at the water mirror.
Shui Jing grimaced and didn't speak.
He actually remembered this rule, and he deliberately didn't mention it just now.
It was already quite difficult for Zhao Lin to cultivate to the level of qi at the age of seventeen, so it was naturally impossible to put too much effort into actual combat.
Let him fight with the disciples of the Xingyun Sect who are several years older and have a cultivation level higher than those of the Xingyun Sect, and there is no chance of winning at all.
Huo Yu turned the jade wrench in his hand, and his expression was leisurely, "The disciples of the outer courtyard will pick Shi Jiangyong and Li Ying, what does Brother Shuijing think?" ”
Shui Jing ignored him, but his face became even darker.
There were thousands of disciples in the outer court, and it was impossible for him to know every single one, but these two disciples had just performed well in the quarterly competition of the outer court, which left a deep impression on him.
Shi Jiangyong practiced "Qilin Jin" and was known for his strength, while Li Ying was good at "Spirit Snake Legs" and was agile and tricky.
Low-realm martial artists make too many moves, and sometimes there is a situation where the boxing exercises are restrained, and Huoyu chooses one strong and one fast, which basically blocks the possibility of accidental misses.
Seeing that no one objected, Elder Jin Shi said, "Then it's decided!" Kong Cang and Han Yang passed, and Zhao Lin had to go through a round of competition. ”
"Ask him what he means, and if you don't want to challenge, go to the outer courtyard with the others. Xuancheng, you go and let me know. ”
"Yes."
Hu Xuancheng answered, turned around and walked out of the hall.
When the people in the courtyard saw Hu Xuancheng coming out, they immediately stopped talking and looked at him intently.
Hu Xuancheng smiled and arched his hand, "Kong Cang, Han Yang, congratulations to the two of you." ”
Kong Cang and Han Yang both breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Except for Zhao Lin, the rest of the people all looked gloomy.
"You don't have to be discouraged, although you can't enter the Dancing Elephant Courtyard, the door of the outer courtyard is still open to you."
Hu Xuancheng looked at the others and said seriously: "The martial road is long, as long as you practice diligently, you still have the opportunity to directly enter the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard, and there are many such examples." ”
"Zhao Lin, you can stay for a while."
"Okay." Zhao Lin said calmly.
Although the door of the hall was closed just now, with his ears, he had already heard the conversation of several elders inside, and he knew the result in advance, so he was calm in his heart.
"Why did he stay?"
The five disciples who were not selected looked at Zhao Lin at the same time, and their disappointment immediately turned into resentment.
Zhang Zhiyuan was unconvinced and said: "Senior Brother Hu, Kong Cang and Han Yang, we have no opinion, how can he stay with a mere temperament?" ”
Yao Lirong sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, he played Liuhe Quan just now, there must be an outer inheritance, you are biased towards your own people!" ”
Hu Xuancheng was not angry, and said with a pleasant face: "This is the decision of the elders, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose it, but in order to avoid your misunderstanding, I will explain two sentences." ”
"Zhao Lin's root bone is Shangzhong, among the eight of you, he and Kong Cang are the best, and he is only seventeen years old."
"According to the rules of the Dancing Elephant Academy, if he can defeat two outer court disciples with triple qi in a row, he will be selected exceptionally."
A few people were speechless when they heard it, and there were still two disciples who challenged the triple qi realm, if Zhao Lin could really do this, it would indeed be able to block the mouths of others.
Yao Lirong's eyes flashed and asked, "Can we watch from the sidelines?" ”
Hu Xuancheng's eyebrows raised, and there was anger in his voice, "What, do you think the competition is fake?" ”
Yao Lirong hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the ground with her eyes, "Don't dare, I just want to see for a long time." ”
She didn't believe it herself, let alone anyone else, but no one spoke, and she wanted to see how things turned out.
Hu Xuancheng took a deep breath, "I can't decide this matter, wait until I go back and tell the elders." ”
Speaking of this, his expression slowed down, and he said to Zhao Lin: "Senior Brother Zhao, do you agree to compete with the disciples of the outer court?" ”
"Agreed." Zhao Lin nodded.
Hu Xuancheng summoned the disciples stationed in front of the pavilion and asked them to find Shi Jiangyong and Li Ying, and then walked into the hall without looking back.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was a little awkward, and several unsuccessful disciples were a little embarrassed, they seemed to be suspected of dragging Zhao Lin back.
Zhao Lin looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, just as if nothing had happened.
Only Kong Cang and Han Yang had nothing to do with themselves, looking Zhao Lin up and down, with the intention of watching the excitement in their hearts.
"Mess around, blast them out!"
In the hall, after listening to Hu Xuancheng's words, Huoyu shouted angrily.
Hu Xuancheng stood still and glanced at Elder Jinshi.
"Forget it."
Elder Jin Shi waved his hand, "This matter is related to the reputation of the sect, so what's the point of showing them openly?" Just be a witness, lest you go out and make irresponsible remarks. ”
Hu Xuancheng got the order and went out to tell the news to the eight people in the courtyard.
"The elder agreed, and the two outer court disciples will arrive in a while."
"By the way, these two disciples, one is twenty-two years old and the other is twenty-three years old, both broke through the Qi Realm Triple two years ago, and they were also ranked in the top ten in the Outer Courtyard Competition last month, their strength is beyond doubt!"
The disciples present looked at Zhao Lin tacitly, and felt that it was impossible for him to win.
Fifteen to twenty-five years old is the golden age for martial arts, and there is a big gap between one or two years old, not to mention that the two are five or six years older than Zhao Lin.
Yao Lirong knew that Hu Xuancheng's words were for herself, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Senior Brother Hu, Senior Sister is not sensible, I offended a lot just now, I hope to forgive me." ”
"Out of the way." Hu Xuancheng's face was slightly pale.
After a short time, two disciples wearing practice clothes from the outer courtyard walked into the courtyard together.
One of them was tall and strong, with a leopard's head and eyes, and a short beard under his chin, while the other was born with clear eyebrows and a handsome appearance.
When the two saw Hu Xuancheng, they hugged their fists together and said, "Senior Brother Hu." ”
Hu Xuancheng nodded, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
The two said in unison, "Yes." ”
"Come with me."
Hu Xuancheng led everyone into the hall and saluted the five elders: "Elders, everyone has arrived. ”
Elder Jin Shi bowed his head and said, "Hu Xuancheng, you can preside over it." ”
"Yes......"
The venue in the center of the hall was originally used for the competition, and a rectangle with a width of six zhang and a length of nine zhang was specially paved with white bricks.
Kong Cang, Han Yang and other new disciples consciously retreated to the sidelines.
Hu Xuancheng tapped the field with his toes and said to Zhao Lin: "Xingyun Sect competes against the rules, falling off the field, falling to the ground, or taking the initiative to admit defeat is considered a failure." ”
Zhao Lin nodded in understanding.
Hu Xuancheng looked at Shi Jiangyong and Li Ying, "Which of you two will compete first?" ”
Shi Jiangyong preemptively said: "I'll come first!" ”
Seeing Zhao Lin's young face, he couldn't help but feel a wave of jealousy in his heart.
At the beginning, I also wanted to enter the Dancing Elephant Academy, but unfortunately I couldn't do it.
If you personally prevent these geniuses from entering the Dancing Elephant Academy, it will also be a great pleasure.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Hu Xuancheng slapped his palms, let go of the venue, and said another sentence: "Leave a line under your subordinates, and you can't shoot again after you decide the winner." ”
Zhao Lin and Shi Jiangyong stood opposite each other and hugged each other's fists.
"Outer courtyard disciple Shi Jiangyong."
"Zhao Lin, please advise!"
