Chapter 17: The Trials Begin
Since the selection competition was to be held in Huayan City, Lin Yun didn't have to hurry to say goodbye and leave, because the next day, Shi Meng and Wang Yu, as well as many family heads in Huayan City, rushed back to Huayan City to prepare for the start of the trials.
Lin Yun naturally followed and left Qianren Castle. Shi Ling originally wanted to follow Shi Meng and Lin Yun to Huayan City, but Shi Dongli was still worried about her safety, and when the selection competition began, Shi Dongli would also be there, so he asked Shi Ling to follow him. Shi Ling was very reluctant and sullen, but she had no choice but to obey Shi Dongli's arrangement.
After Lin Yun returned to Huayan City, he temporarily bid farewell to Shi Meng and the others and returned to Luo Yao's restaurant.
"Uncle Luo, I'm back, where's Luo Yao?" As soon as Lin Yun entered the restaurant, he ran into Luo Tianheng.
"Lin Yun is back, you are now the man of the year in Huayan City. Luo Tianheng said with a smile.
"What?
Lin Yun didn't know that he had treated Shi Ling's injuries and that he had saved Shi Ling from the man in black that night, and that he had already spread all over Huayan City.
Luo Tianheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What? Don't you know? Your matter has already spread all over Huayan City, and now everyone is talking about you." I think the Lin family must regret getting rid of you now. ”
As for what the Lin family thought, Lin Yun didn't care much. However, he was still a little happy to become the man of the year in Huayan City.
"Luo Yao is behind, I've been talking about you for the past two days, go find him. Luo Tianheng continued.
"Uncle Haode Luo. ”
Lin Yun ran to the backyard and happened to see Luo Yao practicing the "Dragon Fist" taught to him by Ling Yun attentively. The lotus flower also stood aside.
Luo Yao happened to have his back to him, and Lotus saw Lin Yun first. Lin Yun didn't wait for the lotus flower to speak, and immediately made a silent gesture. Immediately, he quietly wanted to sneak attack Luo Yao from behind.
This Luo Yao practiced the exercises, and was practicing the "scale" trick in the dragon-shaped boxing, and the aura was all over the body to protect the body, like the shape of dragon scales, and it was protected outside the body.
Lin Yun just wanted to scare Luo Yao, so naturally he wouldn't exert spiritual power. punched him from behind, but he was shocked back a few steps by Luo Yao's protective aura, and his wrist was faintly painful.
Luo Yao was startled, turned around and shouted, "Who?"
Lin Yun shook his wrist and said with a smile: "Okay, the kung fu practice is good, it seems that the cultivation has advanced to another level?"
"Haha," Luo Yao was also happy when he saw that it was Lin Yun, and then dispersed the exercises, "You kid, you have become a celebrity, you live a comfortable life in Qianren Castle, and forget about your brothers, right?"
"Aren't I coming back? By the way, the tryouts will start tomorrow, have you signed up?" Lin Yun asked.
Luo Yao took a sweat towel from the lotus, wiped the sweat, and said, "Of course I signed up, Lingwu Mountain is my dream." If you can worship under the sect of an elder, then you can learn high-level techniques. ”
"That..."Lin Yun showed a weird smile, "Maybe we'll see each other in the ring." I'm not going to show mercy. ”
"You kid, I won't, if I really face you at that time, let you taste the power of Senior Ling's dragon-shaped fist, right, Senior Ling. Luo Yao said.
As soon as Lin Yun heard Luo Yao talk about Lingyun, he remembered that Luo Yao didn't know about Lingyun yet. So he first pulled Luo Yao to his room, and then told Luo Yao everything about Ling Yun's death and what had happened in Qianren Castle these days.
"Senior Ling is actually... And he's actually Princess Ling's ......"
Lin Yun hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense about this." ”
Luo Yao waved his hand and said, "Who am I talking to, no." That man in black is so powerful, and he's on par with the kings of the mountains?"
"Yes, you haven't seen it, the power of that lightning is very powerful. Lin Yun recalled the events of that night, and told Luo Yao in a slightly exaggerated way, which made Luo Yao nervous and fascinated.
"You still want to take the spiritual spring water for Princess Ling? This spiritual spring water has actually become an additional reward for this Lingwu Mountain Meeting, which is really strange, but it is also just right. Luo Yao said.
"Yes, this is Senior Ling's wish, I must help him complete it. Lin Yun said.
"Well," Luo Yao also nodded, "I have also received so many benefits from Senior Ling, don't worry, brother, I will definitely help you fulfill Senior Ling's wish." ”
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted for a long time, and after dinner, the two exchanged their recent cultivation experience with each other. Na Luo Yao was well prepared for the selection competition, and he also put a lot of effort into it. Even the cultivation has advanced to another level, and has reached the fourth layer of the Spirit Casting Realm. The four sets of techniques of the Dragon Fist have also been integrated.
Early the next morning, Lin Yun was sleeping when he was woken up by a knock on the door.
Rubbing his eyes, stretching, and wearing clothes reluctantly.
"Lin Yun, hurry up! The trials are about to start. ”
The voice from outside the door turned out to be Shi Ling's.
Lin Yunxin said, this girl actually ran down the mountain so early, and she actually found it, and she was not afraid of Shi Dongli's worries.
Lin Yun opened the door, and Shi Ling's cute and beautiful face appeared in front of him. He was followed by several Rock Tiger Riders. Luo Yao, Luo Tianheng, and Lotus all stood behind, looking at Lin Yun with incredulous faces. As if to say, when did you get so close to Princess Ling?
However, Luo Yao heard Lin Yun say these things, although he really saw Princess Ling, he felt a little unbelievable in his heart, but he still understood after thinking about it.
"Sister Ling'er, it's still early, didn't the tryouts start in the afternoon. Lin Yun said.
Shi Ling showed a bright smile, like an orchid in full bloom. "I know, anyway, Uncle is already here, and I have nothing to do, so I'm here to find you to take me around the city. After speaking, he actually took Lin Yun's hand and pulled him out.
This scene made Luo Tianheng and Lotus even more stunned.
"Why don't you eat something here and leave?" Luo Tianheng said.
"No, no, I'll go out with Brother Lin Yun. When Shi Ling walked in front of Luo Yao, she stopped, looked at Luo Yao and Lotus, and said, "Luo Yao, Lotus, if it's okay, let's go together?" Brother Lin Yun often mentions the two of you. ”
Luo Yao and Lotus looked at each other, and then looked at Luo Tianheng. Luo Tianheng hurriedly waved his hand and asked him to go.
"Okay, Princess Ling, then we'll accompany the princess. Luo Yao said respectfully.
"Don't call me any princess, you are a good friend of Brother Lin Yun, just my friend, just call me Ling'er, let's go." ”
Without waiting for Luo Yao to speak, Shi Ling pulled Lin Yun out of the restaurant first. Luo Yao and Lotus smiled helplessly and followed.
After walking around the city for a long time, Lin Yun and Luo Yao took Shi Ling around, and then ate a lot of famous snacks, which made Shi Ling very happy. Because since she was a child, she has never played with children of the same age like this. Although they often come to Huayan City, they are followed by a large number of guards, and most of them go to some big families, and they rarely can wander leisurely in the street market.
However, the Rock Tiger Cavalry Guards still followed them inch by inch, and in the market, they also attracted many onlookers and discussions.
In the afternoon, several people came to the empty field where the selection competition was held.
On top of this square, a platform more than two meters high has already been erected for the contestants to compete.
Shi Ling took Lin Yun, Luo Yao and Lotus to the guest of honor at the back of the stage, Shi Dongli, Wang Yu, Shi Meng, the heads of the Luo family, the Liu family, and the Lin family, as well as some barbarian leaders who came over, and some important people, all sat down one after another, waiting for the start of the selection competition.
Lin Yun and Luo Yao were also participants, so after saying hello to Shi Dongli, Shi Meng, Wang Yu and others, they came to the high platform. The lotus flower was pulled by Shi Ling and sat beside her.
At this time, the high platform was already full of teenagers who were participating. Among them are Lin Yun, Luo Yao, Lin Zheng and Lin Xiao of the Lin family, Luo Qingqing of the Luo family, a teenager from the Nanshan barbarian clan, and a teenager recommended from Shenlin Castle, in addition, there are some small families or ordinary contestants. There were 36 people in total, and only three were able to make the cut.
The rules are also very simple, that is, they are grouped by lot, and they compete on the stage in groups of two, and the losers are eliminated directly.
After everyone stood still, many onlookers had gathered in the audience.
Shi Dongli motioned to Liu Liang: "Let's start." ”
Liu Liang, as the host of this selection competition, walked to the front of the VIP seat and shouted to everyone on and off the stage:
"Dear young friends, there are a total of three shortlisted places for this selection competition, I hope you all cheer. The rules are simple, two people work in pairs, and the loser is directly disqualified. And there is one thing to explain, during the competition, the point is stopped, no killer, if one party admits defeat, stop immediately. If there is an intentional injury to someone, the killer will be disqualified immediately. Got it?"
"Understood!" said everyone in unison.
"Okay, everyone, please go to the side to rest first, and wait for the results of the lottery to come out, and the person who calls his name can come to the stage to compete. ”
After Liu Liang finished speaking, everyone walked off the stage one after another.
"Lin Yun, don't think that you can treat Princess Ling's injuries too badly, in this competition, I must let you lose at my feet. Lin Zheng walked past Lin Yun's side and said indignantly.
Lin Yun just glanced at him and ignored it. In Lin Yun's heart, Lin Zheng is not a problem at all, it's not that he is arrogant, but that he has a reason to win.
