Ninety-six chapters, two years of low-key

Time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past two years, Qingshi has kept a low profile and buried himself in penance.

Thanks to the heavenly and earthly treasures such as dragon blood and Hundred Flowers Jade Liquid, Qingshi's true qi cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it was already a great consummation of the Qi Condensation Realm three months ago, and it will only take an opportunity to break through to the Yuan Dan Realm.

Shen Binghong's cultivation had also reached this bottleneck, while Duan Xiaoyu had already broken through to the Yuan Dan Realm a year ago, and stepped into the Yuan Dan Realm at the age of less than twenty, which naturally shocked the entire Tianlong Academy and even Chaoge City.

Like Teng Shouqian, Qingshi never participates in the various ranking battles of the academy. In the practice of martial arts, in addition to fighting against trial puppets, Qingshi basically competed with Chen Tianye. In terms of the formation path, Qingshi often competes with Xiang Wuji, and in terms of instrument path, he is immersed in his own research.

At this time, Shen Feiyun had already graduated, Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian occupied the second and third places on the Tianlong List, and the first place was still Jiang Chenxiu.

Since the Great Consummation of Qingshi's Qi Condensation Realm half a year ago, its combat power is basically equivalent to Chen Tianye, so that every time he fights, Chen Tianye is always amazed by Qingshi's progress, you must know that Chen Tianye is already in the third stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, and his talent is also the top in the academy, and his progress is not slow.

However, Qingshi has grown from a small monk in the Qi Gathering Realm to being able to stand side by side with Chen Tianye in a few years, and such a talent is indeed unprecedented in the entire Tianlong Academy.

The sixth school year is coming to an end, and Qingshi is finally going to participate in the Inner Courtyard Dragon and Tiger List Ranking Competition.

Because, according to the time, the six years of study in the Qingshi Inner Courtyard have been completed. If you want to stay in the academy again, in addition to becoming a preparatory elder of the academy like Na Zhiyong, you can only enter the martial arts high academy.

Qingshi naturally would not choose to work for the academy for thirty years, so there was only one way to enter the Martial Arts High Academy, and to enter the Martial Arts High Academy, one of the important examination items was the record of the Dragon and Tiger List or the Tianlong List.

Qingshi didn't plan to fight the Tianlong List, although he thought that he could fight with Jiang Chenxiu, who was the first on the Tianlong List, but the people on the Tianlong List were all Yuandan realm cultivators without exception, and Qingshi didn't want to be too out of line.

Qingshi signed up to participate in the Inner Courtyard Dragon and Tiger List, this list is used to being called the Martial Arts Inner Courtyard Dragon and Tiger List, in fact, the Inner Courtyard students of the three courtyards of Shudao can also participate.

Qingshi because he has never participated in the battle of the inner courtyard dragon and tiger list, so he is not familiar with the rules, on this day, Zhang Hao came to the east ten buildings to get the pill, Qingshi invited him to the nine buildings to drink tea, by the way to ask about the dragon and tiger list.

A few months ago, Qingshi had already entrusted the automatic alchemy device to Zhang Hao for management, at this time Zhang Hao was already a second-level alchemist, he was very talented, he had entered the martial arts high academy for three years, in terms of connections and emotional intelligence, Zhang Hao was the first in the academy, and he accounted for more than half of the pills and other businesses in the academy.

Zhang Hao took a sip of tea and praised: "Big brother's tea and wine are really wonderful, but it has been even more difficult to drink in the past two years." What does the boss command? ”

Although he is older than Qingshi, and although he has hundreds of younger brothers, Zhang Hao has always regarded Qingshi as his eldest brother, and he did not change his door even in the face of Jiang Chenxiu's recruitment. Qingshi believes that this is not only Zhang Hao's loyalty, but also his cleverness. He didn't know how much Zhang Hao knew himself and how many secrets he knew.

Qingshi also took a sip of tea and said, "I'm going to take the martial arts high court, how is the ranking of the dragon and tiger list in this inner court, you can tell me about it." ”

"Congratulations boss," Zhang Hao said with a smile, "After being low-key for so many years, it's going to be a blockbuster!" ”

"I'm too lazy to fix this!" Qingshi wrote lightly, "It's best to have a battle record to enter the high court, there is no way to only participate, but since I want to fight, I have to take the first place." ”

"Good!" Zhang Hao said excitedly, "It's long overdue, I have some little brothers who don't have long eyes, and I often say that I worship a big brother with three nos, and this time let them know what my vision is." ”

"Big brother Sanwu?" Qingshi Qi said, "Are you talking about me, what are the three nothings?" ”

"No combat power, no fame, no background!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Cut! These bunnies! Qingshi also smiled and said, "But why do I think I'm talking about you!" ”

"Where can I compare with the boss!" Zhang Hao said, "These rabbits and rats are short-sighted, in their eyes, my combat power is not weak, after all, I am in the high court, but you are still in the inner court." Fame, within the scope of the academy, my fame is still very big, to put it mildly, much more than you. As for the background, that's their background that they don't know about you, my boss. ”

"How?" "Do you know my background? ”

"I don't know," Zhang Hao said, "but I can guess that it's not far from ten." ”

"Oh?" Qingshi smiled and said, "Then you can listen to it!" ”

"I guess the eldest brother is Dean Mo's disciple, right?" Zhang Hao said tentatively.

"Wrong!" Bluestone replied.

Next, Zhang Hao carefully explained the ranking rules of the Inner Courtyard Dragon and Tiger List to Qingshi.

At the end of each academic year, the Inner Courtyard Dragon and Tiger List conducts a qualifying competition, and everyone in the Inner Courtyard can sign up, and those who are not on the Dragon and Tiger List will be randomly arranged into five groups after registration, and generally there will be about 20 to 30 people in each group, because the number of new applicants for the competition is about 100 to 150 people every year.

Each person is randomly drawn within the group and plays against ten opponents based on the results of the draw. Then, the ten people with the best results in each group will be divided into groups again with the fifty people on the original Dragon and Tiger list, and the 100 people will be divided into ten groups, and the top ten people in the original Dragon and Tiger list will be seeded players, distributed in ten groups, and the other 90 people will be randomly grouped.

After that, a single round-robin tournament will be played, with each person playing nine more games, and the top five in each group will be the top 50 of the new Dragon and Tiger list.

After the top 50 are decided, the academy management elders will rank each person from one to fifty according to their performance, this ranking is obviously not accurate enough, so what ranking can be ranked in the end still needs to continue to challenge and fight.

Each of the 50 people on the list has a maximum of three chances to challenge upwards, and at the same time, each person must face at least three times, unless no three people challenge you.

Finally, in order to become the first in the Dragon Tiger list, you need to accept all challenges unconditionally after ranking first, and of course the challengers must be in the top 50.

After listening to Zhang Hao's introduction, Qingshi found that this Dragon and Tiger List Qualifying Tournament does not seem to be a reflection of strength, but also has the element of luck, challenge and battle skills, and will also affect the ranking.

In addition, there are too many battles to be played, and under normal conditions, each person has to play more than 20 games, and this is exactly what the academy hopes to achieve.

On the first day of the last month of this academic year, the Dragon and Tiger ranking tournament began, and every day, the college announcement office will post the personnel and time schedule for the second day, and the first battle of Bluestone is scheduled for the afternoon of the next day.

On the second day, when Qingshi came to the battle ring, the ten battle rings in the central square of the academy were crowded with students, and each battle ring was going on.

Qingshi came to the No. 6 battle stage, and at this time, the two students on the stage were in full swing. These two people don't know each other, looking at the costumes are from the inner courtyard of martial arts, judging from the momentum exuded by the two, the fifth stage of the male condensation realm, and the seventh stage of the female condensation realm, it is obvious that the female students have a huge advantage, and sure enough, after less than twenty moves, the male students took the initiative to admit defeat.

The next game was also one-sided and lackluster.

"Qingshi, a second-year student in the inner courtyard of the Instrument Road!" The chief referee elder on the stage took the roster and read, "Wang Xiaotian, a first-year student in the Inner Court of Martial Arts." ”

Qingshi pushed aside the crowd and walked up the stairs to the stage, but Wang Xiaotian jumped directly from the crowd, landed on the stage early and took the lead in registering.

Qingshi took out his student card and handed it to the registered elder to check the registration. There are three elders in each ring, one registered for identity verification, one for refereeing, and one for overseer.

After the registration was completed, Qingshi walked to the center of the ring, but heard the opposite hand shouting in surprise: "Hey, Brother Qingshi!" Is it really you? I'm Wang Xiaotian! Remember me? ”

Qingshi was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, but saw that the opponent was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, not tall and thin, with beautiful eyebrows and clear eyes, it was the talkative boy Wang Xiaotian who met on the flying car when he went from Yahua City to Liangyuan, and he hadn't seen him for six years, except for the fact that he had grown a little taller, he hadn't changed much.

"It's you!" Qingshi smiled, "What a coincidence, when did you enter the academy?" ”

"I was directly admitted to the inner courtyard three years ago," Wang Xiaotian said, "It's a pity that I didn't know that you were also in the academy, or I would have come to you earlier." ”

Qingshi secretly thought that he had been in the limelight in the first few years when he came to the academy, but in the past two years, he had been immersed in penance and low-key behavior, so that Zhang Hao's younger brother called himself the eldest brother of the three nos, and it was no wonder that Wang Xiaotian didn't know about himself.

"Are you playing or are you going to catch up?" The referee elder said angrily, "The game is on!" ”

Wang Xiaotian stuck out his tongue and smiled at Qingshi: "Be careful!" After speaking, he held two sharp swords, one long and one short, and rushed towards the bluestone.

Qingshi took out a long sword and fought with Wang Xiaotian.

The rules of the game are known to the students for a long time, weapons and armor can be used, pills and poisons cannot be used, etc., and no intentional injury can be caused until the point of victory or defeat of the game.

As soon as Wang Xiaotian's body method was launched, his momentum was released, and Qingshi immediately saw that his true qi cultivation was about the middle level of the Qi Condensation Realm, judging from his blades and martial arts, most of them had water attribute true qi, and his moves were characterized by being fast and dense.

Qingshi unhurriedly unfolded his long sword to face the battle, using a yellow-level mid-grade sword without attributes, which was the Xuanjian technique.

At this time, Qingshi had already practiced the Xuanjian technique to the fourth layer realm, and the sword moves had been streamlined to sixty moves, and the sword moves operated at will, no matter how fast Wang Xiaotian's two swords were, they could easily be dissolved into invisible.

Qingshi didn't want Wang Xiaotian to be too embarrassed, so he exuded his momentum, Wang Xiaotian saw that he was already a high-level cultivator of the Qi Condensation Realm, and he was immediately deflated, and after the onslaught was ineffective, he decisively retreated and admitted defeat.

After the battle, Qingshi and Wang Xiaotian talked for a while, and learned that Wang Xiaotian was not doing very well in the academy, and there was a disciple of the rival family who always made trouble with him, so Qingshi took him to find Zhang Hao and asked Zhang Hao to come forward to solve it.

Wang Xiaotian knew Zhang Hao, and knew that he was the senior of the High Academy, the number one boss in the academy's pill refining material trade, and there were hundreds of younger brothers under him. can take advantage of this relationship through bluestone, and naturally he is no longer afraid of being bullied by his opponent.

Wang Xiaotian admired Zhang Hao, and simply wanted to worship Zhang Hao as his eldest brother, but Zhang Hao naturally did not refuse. Wang Xiaotian got what he wanted, full of joy, and when he heard Zhang Hao call Qingshi his eldest brother, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he didn't understand what was going on for a long time.
