Chapter 35: Prologue to the Competition

A few days later, Lin Jin, who had been in a state of cultivation, opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly formed an arc.

"The cultivation has been refined again, and you can break through the middle stage of the extradition realm and be promoted to the late stage of the extradition realm at any time. ”

I have to say that Lin Jin's cultivation experience in his previous life has provided a very good convenience for his current cultivation, and he has cultivated all the way to avoid the detours that many novice cultivators will take.

"I can't say that I can finish in the top three, but it's definitely more than enough to finish in the top 20. ”

Lin Jin's self-confidence not only comes from his current cultivation, but also Lin Jin's belief in his own mind!

At this time, Xiao Zhang, who had not been seen for many days, began to shout outside the door.

"Lin Jin, open the door quickly, the outer door competition is about to be held, this is only one chance, you have to be cautious!"

"If you don't come out again, I'm gone! I'm really gone......"

Lin Jin's heart moved, and he hurriedly got up and went out.

"Prepare a little more to increase the chance of winning, and let Senior Brother Xiao wait for a long time. ”

After a few words of greeting with Xiao Zhang, he rushed to the Linxian Pavilion, the test venue for the outer disciples that Xiao Zhang said.

It was still early in the morning, and the Pavilion was located on a large gap in the peak of a towering mountain.

All the places where people could stand in the open space on the periphery were already full of disciples from Liyun Pavilion, densely packed.

There are even some disciples whose imperial weapons are in the air between the cliffs around the Linxian Pavilion, there are outer disciples, and there is no shortage of a few inner disciples.

On the way up the mountain, many disciples also filled the stalls ready to trade treasures, and the figures were crowded.

"Every time such a competition is supposed to bring a good time for those disciples who trade treasures, right?"

Lin Jin also saw several good things casually along the way, and said casually.

Xiao Zhang nodded, and also showed a yearning look.

"That's not it, these disciples are generally immersed in retreat and cultivation, and every time there is a sect activity, they will go out to trade some things they need. I'm going to do that in the future, hehe. ”

"Oh, Senior Brother Xiao is not good like this, he has been in retreat with his head bored, and he will not become a psychotic when the time comes. ”

"Look at what you said, I'm happy to do this, hahaha......"

"Sometimes cultivation is unconsciously improved when you perceive the nature of heaven and earth, and of course there are benefits to blindly retreating. ”

Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I don't seem to have seen you go to get the pill, right?"

"The main thing is that I am in retreat and have no time to pick it up. ”

Lin Jin looked innocent, as if he was a busy man.

Xiao slapped his forehead and sighed: "Don't even have free ones, alas, my great god, but you can take them out several times at once." ”

Without further ado, the two of them sped up and rushed towards the Linxian Pavilion, and the competition of outer disciples began immediately.

In the mountain behind the Immortal Pavilion, in a dense forest, two figures are faint.

Opposite a delicate-looking, fair-skinned young man stood a waist-high white-bearded old man who looked a little on the verge of death.

The old man coughed and placed a lifeless hand on the man's shoulder.

"Lian Yun, it's mainly one thing for the teacher to call you here, you listen, the strength of your senior brother and ancestor is undoubtedly the bright light of this outer door competition. ”

"But I'm worried that the other elders will do something wrong, so in the first of the top forty matches, I'll assign you to a team with your senior brother. ”

"After you and your senior brother play, you directly abstain, so that your senior brother retains enough physical strength to deal with the opponent behind. ”

The disciple named Lian Yun was a little puzzled, but he didn't show a dissatisfied look.

"Is this necessary? The disciple is stupid, and I implore the master to solve his doubts. ”

The old man gently patted Lian Yun's shoulder.

"Liu Fang, that old guy wants to protect that Liu Yang, hum, your senior brother Xiang Tianqi is not unexpectedly Liu Yang's thief did it!"

"Although you abstained in the top 40, with your strength, I can put you in the competition for the top 20 places. ”

"In the top 20, I will arrange for him to be in a group with you, and I will put you and him in a lower position in the 20th group. ”

"It's up to you to do your best, try your best to kill him, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

A glint flashed in Lian Yun's eyes, and he seemed to be happy with this "errand".

"I see, Lian Yun promised to complete the master's instructions. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Lian Yun stroked the sideburns on his right cheek with his right hand.

"Hehe, I heard that there is a big reward for becoming an inner disciple this time, and there is also a big opportunity, so you can't miss it...... Liu Yang...... Repay my life for my brother!"

With a light snort, Lian Yun walked towards the Imperial Sword of the Linxian Pavilion.

At this time, Lin Jin and the others had already arrived at the periphery of the competition venue of Linxian Pavilion, waiting to play.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "See, little brother, I'm a celebrity, so many beautiful female disciples just gave me flattering eyes, oops, it's good that my concentration is good, otherwise ......"

Lin Jin looked at Xiao Zhang's self-absorption, and said with a smile in his heart: The most narcissistic person I, Lin Jin, have ever seen, none other than Xiao Zhang.

"What are the rules for participating in the outer door competition this time?"

Xiao Zhang pushed a large disciple next to him away and clapped his hands.

"There are exactly 80 people who abstained before the competition in this outer door competition, and the top 40 will be determined in the first game, and then randomly ranked one to forty. ”

"At the end of the year, the remaining top 20 will be determined by the two adjacent positions to become inner disciples. ”

Lin Jin frowned, this method has loopholes at a glance.

"Wouldn't this be unfair to those disciples whose cultivation is not bad, but who run into those powerful quasi-inner disciples?"

Xiao slapped his fingers and smiled.

"Naturally, it's unfair, but this also provides some disciples with average strength and good luck with the possibility of becoming inner disciples, which can be regarded as a loophole for low-level disciples. ”

"However, in the top forty competition, as long as you are not the last group in the twenty groups, if you abstain, you will actually have a chance to enter the ranks of the inner disciples. ”

Lin Jin was surprised after hearing this, when did the abstention become tasteless?

"Is there a chance if you abstain?"

"Well, but there is a disadvantage to this, if you abstain, the other party can directly become an inner disciple, and because you abstain, you must compete with the winner of the next group to determine the real inner disciple. ”

"In this case, the point-to-point rule will be invalidated, as your abstention will give the next group winner one more try"

"If he doesn't like you and he's powerful...... Maybe they'll kill you on the spot. So abstention, in general, very few people will do it. ”

Xiao Zhang said that he felt a little scared, and patted his little liver.

Lin Jin smacked his lips and nodded in agreement.

"If you find that the winner of the next group is much better than you, can't you just quit the game and not compete with it? ”

"This is tantamount to a mandatory competition, so unless you have to, I advise you to rather lose to the other party than abstain. ”

"Okay...... How much more powerful are you quasi-inner disciples than our ordinary outer disciples?"

"Actually, the main difference between us and you is that we have learned some more offensive moves in the Pavilion to assist our exercises and defeat the enemy more effectively. ”

"And you have only cultivated the basic exercises, and your cultivation is lower than that of the quasi-inner disciples, so naturally you are not as good as the quasi-inner disciples. Didn't I give you a temporary status to go to the Pavilion? You didn't practice some basic moves?"

Lin Jin naturally couldn't say that he was going to follow the common-sense introduction of those Tianshu Continent overview, and he had to play a sloppy look.

"I just went to retreat in a hurry, and I didn't have time to learn those basic moves. ”

Xiao Zhang closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly: "I'm speechless for you...... Hey, fatty, don't squeeze me......"

......

With the increasing number of people around Linxian Pavilion, the outer gate competition is about to kick off.

A golden light suddenly flashed in the square outside the Linxian Pavilion, and then a short old man walked out of the golden light.

The appearance of the old man made the noisy square instantly quiet, so quiet that even the sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard clearly.

"Boom-"

I don't know who let out a fart at an inopportune time, which immediately caused many disciples to laugh.

The old man coughed lightly, and suddenly the square was quiet again, and he looked at the many disciples around the square, and swept his robes, quite immortal.

"I am Elder Yuanbi of the Cloud Pavilion, this time, I will preside over the outer sect competition to test the cultivation of the outer disciples of the previous session to various realms. ”

"Those who have strength can become inner disciples. Of course, it is not possible for everyone to become inner disciples!"

"Inner disciples can be described as the elite of the elite, so as in previous years, twenty people were selected to become inner disciples. ”

Yuan Bi stroked his beard, and then glanced at everyone around him.

"Hehe, I believe that the outer disciples who want to participate in the inner door qualification competition should all know the rules of the competition, right? Then I won't say more, okay, let's start the competition. ”

"Watch it well and gain experience from it, especially the competition of those quasi-inner disciples with good strength, it will be good for you. ”

Lin Jin stared at the two disciples who were playing in the square and nodded, "Well, I'll try my best." ”

Although for Lin Jin, the competition of those young disciples was not enough at all, but there was no end to learning, and the same was true for cultivation, Lin Jin still had patience and watched carefully.

At noon, a quarter of the way through the competition was over, and it was basically a non-eventful competition, and some of the disciples who watched even fell asleep standing up.

Even Lin Jin was a little tired at this time, and after watching a few competitions in a row, it was of no use to himself at all, at most he took a look at the "self-created moves" of those disciples.

Just when Lin Jin wanted to rest on the spot, Xiao Zhang, who was holding his chest with both hands, touched Lin Jin with his elbow and reminded him that there was a situation.

With a move in his heart, Lin Jin hurriedly cheered up and looked at the square.

At this time, there were two men standing in the square, looking at each other expressionlessly, and the disciples around the square were all talking.

"Senior brothers are going to fight for the top 40 places, it must be very exciting!"

"Who do you think will win? I think Senior Brother Ancestor may be able to win!"

"Don't think that Zu He is the first person in the strength of the outer disciples on the surface, maybe his junior brother Lian Yun has a backhand. ”
