Chapter 40: The Outer Gate First
The first day of each month has always been the most lively day in the Nine Spirit Sect, because only on this day can the ambitious outer disciples challenge the strongest ten people and fight for their future.
The location of the challenge is placed in the martial arts training ground of the sect, and the scale is quite large, which is enough for the martial artists to fully exert their combat power.
Martial artists advocate the strong, and such a challenge will naturally attract countless people to watch the battle, and it is also good for their own strength to improve under observation.
Zhou Heng arrived early in the morning, his eyes swept over, and he saw Kong Xiang and six unfamiliar faces lined up, sitting on the edge of the martial arts training ground, all with arrogant expressions on their faces.
"I heard that Ma Yunlong has just come out of retreat, and his strength has improved again, and this time he may have to challenge Jing Tian directly!"
"Guo Gang seems to have also practiced the 'Great Unintentional Fist Technique' to the fifth level, and the goal is to be the first in the outer door!"
"Cut, Jing Tian has been sitting firmly in the first place in the outer gate for a year, who can lift him off the throne?"
"Yes, I think only after Jing Tian enters the Blood Refining Realm, Ma Yunlong and Guo Gang will be qualified to compete for the first position!"
"Hey, don't forget Zhou Heng, this guy taught Kong Xiang and them a lesson on the first day he entered the sect, and he got an adventure a few days ago and was promoted to the ninth layer of body refining!"
"That kid is just relying on his subtle skills, and he may not be Kong Xiang's opponent in terms of real combat strength!"
There was a lot of discussion around, all of them were talking about their own opinions, but what was more unified was that everyone was not optimistic that Zhou Heng could become a dark horse this time.
Zhou Heng looked at Kong Xiang's ten people, Kong Xiang, who was ranked last, sat on the far right, so the first person from the left should be Jing Tian, who was the first in the outer gate!
This is a young man of about eighteen years old, with a very ordinary appearance, a pair of eyes that are always slightly squinted, and he looks very unenergetic. But Zhou Heng stared at him for less than a second, he immediately sensed it, and after looking up at Zhou Heng, he lowered his head lazily again, not paying attention to it.
The first person in the outer gate is really extraordinary.
Zhou Heng has only one person in his eyes, since he wants to challenge, then pick the strongest! As a martial artist, he must have an invincible heart of the same level, he is now also a ninth-level refining body, so he naturally has nothing to fear.
After a while, I saw an old man in Tsing Yi swept out lightly and said: "Old man Ai Songtao, is the referee of this challenge day, according to the old rules, all outer disciples can issue challenges before sunset, let's start!"
That's pretty simple.
Zhou Heng's eyes tightened, he knew that only the powerhouse of the Gathering Spirit Realm could serve as a referee, so this Ai Songtao must be the existence of the Gathering Spirit Realm! Judging from the appearance of this old man, there was nothing unusual, ordinary as an ordinary old man.
The Gathering Spirit Realm and the Body Refining Realm are qualitatively different, and it will not work with the old eyes.
This is the first Spirit Gathering Realm powerhouse that Zhou Heng has ever seen, but unfortunately he can't see anything surprising about the other party.
"I'm coming!" Shi Qingfeng jumped down from the audience after hearing a loud shout, "I want to challenge Kong Xiang!"
This guy was defeated by Kong Xiang's punch, and he was full of breath, and he couldn't wait to defeat Kong Xiang in public to save face.
Kong Xiang bounced out, revealing a hint of sneer, and said, "You can't be my opponent if you cultivate for another ten years, waste is waste!"
"Bastard!" Shi Qingfeng shouted angrily and immediately attacked.
Bang bang bang, the two sides fight. It is undeniable that Shi Qingfeng has made great progress in the past twenty days, but this is far from enough, and when he reached more than fifty moves, he was blasted out of the martial arts training ground by Kong Xiang.
Fail!
According to the rules, regardless of whether the challenge is successful or unsuccessful, the parties can get a twenty-minute break to avoid the injustice of the wheel war. Therefore, those who want to challenge the auspicious person should wait for 20 minutes first.
And the strength of the top ten people in the outer gate has increased due to the ranking, since they want to challenge, they naturally have to pick a "soft persimmon" pinch, most people's eyes are aimed at Kong Xiang, and they will not challenge others, so there is a short silence.
"I want to challenge Gu You!" A figure flew off the field, with a yao nose and apricot eyes, extremely beautiful, it was Shen Xinqi.
"No, as soon as you come up, you will challenge Gu You, then you will be ranked sixth!"
"I heard that Senior Sister Shen is the granddaughter of Elder Shen Luohe, and they have this confidence!"
"Hey, isn't that the lineage of Elder Tianzhu?"
"Let's read on!"
Gu You, who was named, responded and fought with Shen Xinqi, the strength of the two was almost the same, and it took half an hour to divide the victory and defeat, ending with Shen Xinqi's small victory.
As a result, Shen Xinqi successfully occupied the sixth position, while Gu You fell out of the top ten and needed to fight back.
On the other side, Kong Xiang also rested enough, accepted the challenge of others again, and still successfully held the position under the buttocks. However, Gu You naturally would not be reconciled, he could not fight Shen Xinqi again on the same day, but he could challenge Kong Xiang and them, which meant that at least the top seven people would change greatly.
Zhou Heng waited impatiently, jumped down at a gap, and said, "I want to challenge Jingtian!"
When the words came out, the audience fell silent, and then there was laughter.
"This guy hasn't even figured out the rules of the challenge!"
"The top three can only be challenged by the top 10 people!"
Only then did Zhou Heng realize that he had made a fuss, but he didn't care, his eyes swept over, and he said, "Then hit the fourth one first!"
Fourth?
This guy doesn't even know who is ranked fourth, he only has the first in his eyes!
Crazy, crazy enough!
"Hey, I've been hearing your name all these days, and I'm going to see what you're capable of!" In the midst of a sneer, a tall young man stepped out, and when he stepped on it, the entire martial arts training ground trembled.
Of course, he did it on purpose, but being able to do it is enough to prove that he is extraordinary.
"My name is Fei Qing, remember!" The young man rushed out with a heavy punch and slammed it at Zhou Heng.
——You can go all out in the martial arts training field, and the referee will stop it in time at a critical moment, and the powerhouses of the Spirit Gathering Realm naturally have such an ability!
"I have never been in the habit of remembering the names of my defeated generals!" Zhou Heng did not use his weapon, but just unfolded the flying cloud step, directly cut to the opponent's oblique side, and his right fist bulged out and blasted out!
Boom!
Fei Qing's tall body was suddenly beaten to the ground, fell heavily to the ground, spit out a stream of blood, and tried to get up with a support body, but immediately fell down again, losing consciousness.
One punch!
Just one punch knocked down Fei Qing!
Hey, this strength is indeed enough to challenge Jing Tian!
The ninth layer of refining is not surprising, there are more than forty people in the outer gate who have reached this level, but one move can defeat a martial artist of the same level, that is only the strongest ten people can do it!
But now that even the fourth ranked among the top ten people has been knocked down with a punch, how terrifying is Zhou Heng's strength?
Everyone recalled the process of the battle just now, Zhou Heng did not use any fancy tricks, let alone any martial arts, just landed cleanly and neatly in close quarters, attacked, simplified and smooth.
The more they reminisce, the more they feel that this simple action is infinitely mysterious, and they can get countless inspirations from it.
Zhou Heng glanced at Jing Tian and sat down in Fei Qing's place - according to the rules, he had to wait twenty minutes before he could continue fighting.
"There's no one in my eyes!" Guo Gang snorted coldly, "It's just that he defeated a fourth-ranked garbage!"
"Boy, the first position is mine, don't think in vain, sit honestly in your current position!" Ma Yunlong also said coldly.
Both of them were gorgeously ignored by Zhou Heng, and they were naturally extremely unhappy in their hearts.
Zhou Heng didn't even raise his head, just looked at his nose and nose, and thought that if the cheap donkey was there, he didn't know what kind of people Lu Dao could make these two people look like.
On the other side, Gu You also challenged Wei Jinping, who was ranked seventh, and successfully took the opponent's position. And Wei Jinping is naturally unwilling to be out, and if Fei comes to his senses, he will not give up the top ten rankings, so it is lively.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Heng floated off the field, reported to Jing Tian, and said, "Senior Brother Jing, I want to challenge you!"
The audience was silent and full of anticipation.
Jing Tian is a legend in the Nine Spirits Sect!
He can be said to be a late bloomer, he was a wanderer until he was fourteen years old, and he was taken in by an old man of a sect, and he was not a formal disciple at that time. But he entered the Bone Refining Realm after just three years and was officially accepted as a disciple by the sect.
At the age of eighteen, he reached the ninth layer of body refining, and suddenly broke into the top ten people in the outer gate, and directly occupied the first throne, and has maintained it until now!
A year later, Zhou Heng also entered the strongest ten people with the same attitude, and pointed to the first, will this write a new legend, or will Jing Tian continue to maintain his undefeated legend?
How can you not look forward to it!
Jing Tian stood up, smiled at Zhou Heng, pointed to the position under the seat, and said, "This is yours!"
The audience was in an uproar!
What's going on, retreat without a fight, is this still Jingtian?
Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Jing!"
Congratulations, congratulations!
This kid is cheap and good-natured, how can he talk about cool things!
"I broke through the Blood Refining Realm, and I was pulled here before I had time to report to the sect!" Jing Tian took the initiative to explain, "No matter who challenges me today, I can't fight!"
Blood Refining Realm!
Hey, nineteen-year-old Blood Refining Realm, this is really terrifying!
Counting through the entire Nine Spirit Sect, even if it is the current powerhouses of the Gathering Spirit Realm, how many of them can break through the Blood Refining Realm at the age of nineteen?
Zhou Dinghai was promised to be the strongest genius in the history of the Zhou family in a hundred years, but it was over thirty years after he entered the blood refining realm!
Refining blood and bones, this threshold has stopped many people throughout the ages!
Promising!
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Jing!" everyone shouted loudly, the nineteen-year-old Blood Refining Realm, wherever he put it, he is a genius among geniuses, even if the Black Water Palace knows the Dao, he will rob it regardless of his face, right?
Jing Tian smiled slightly, bowed to Ai Songtao, and said, "Elder Ai, Jing Tian has retired first!"
"Go!" Ai Songtao stroked his long beard with a satisfied smile on his face.
