Time passed quickly, and the day of the outer gate Dabi had come, and in the huge school field that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, some inner disciples began to set up the venue to prepare for the big competition.

There were even some elders who had cultivated to reach the Dingyuan Realm to preside over the overall situation, and the scene was very hot.

"This big competition, the sect attaches great importance to it, and we should go all out to select the pillars of tomorrow who will go out of the sect. A middle-aged elder walked into the school yard and instructed those inner disciples, "Finish the venue as soon as possible, your task is still ahead." ”

A group of inner disciples should say yes in unison.

"Hehe, Elder Sun, don't come unharmed. At this moment, another elder appeared, slightly chubby, and smiled very kindly.

The middle-aged elder looked back at the person, and he also smiled and said, "We old guys who usually cultivate have a reason to appear only when there is a grand event in the sect. However, since Elder Xiao is also here, it means that the qualifications of the outer disciples this time are excellent. ”

The chubby elder smiled and didn't speak.

Because this outer gate competition has attracted the attention of the top level of the Xuanjian Sect, some elders who have been cultivating all year round have also gone out one after another, hoping to find Xinyi's disciples.

As the saying goes, where there are interests, there are disputes, and having a disciple with outstanding talent means that his status in the sect will improve a lot, which is enough to cause these elders who don't deal with it very often to intrigue and even fight.

Similar things happen from time to time in the school grounds.

"Okay, since you are already here, let's talk less, and when the outer disciples gather, we can start the first theory competition. At this time, a gray-clothed and white-haired old man appeared, stopping the elders from fighting openly and secretly.

"Elder Wan. ”

When the elders saw the old man, they hurriedly greeted him, with a hint of respect in their tones.

Because this elder is one of the ten powerful elders of the Xuanjian Sect, the Tibetan scripture elder Wan Qingming.

The status of the top ten powerful elders of the Xuanjian Sect is second only to the sect master and those hidden elders, and they have great rights over the affairs of the sect, and even have the right to impeach the sect master and negate the sect master's decision.

As an Elder of the Tibetan Scriptures, Elder Wan Qingming is not only in a high position, but his personal strength is also the eighth stage of the Earth Yuan, and he can be regarded as a strong among the ten elders.

Seeing Elder Wan nodded, he said to everyone: "In a few moments, the first round of the competition will begin, this time the outer gate competition will be presided over by me, since you are here, then you should all prepare." ”

"Yes, Elder Wan. These didn't have any real power, and the elders who were dedicated to cultivation agreed one after another, and then went to command the many inner disciples present.

The sun is rising, the sky is already bright, and a white mist fills the school grounds, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

This is the formation arranged by the Xuanjian Sect, which began to gather vitality, and the abundant vitality turned into mist, which had many benefits for the human body.

As time passed, more and more outer disciples appeared on the school grounds. I saw a crowd gathering in the school grounds, and the outer disciples stood together in twos and threes, talking to each other about the content of today's first competition.

"Look, it's Murong Zhen. ”

Suddenly, there was a small commotion in the crowd. I saw that Murong Zhen was in high spirits, enjoying everyone's attention, and came to the center of the school field.

Yun Ao followed behind him, looking at everyone around him expressionlessly.

"I heard that Murong Zhen is already the tenth stage of battle qi, you can see that the battle qi around him has escaped, and it is obvious that he has just broken through, but even so, the first place in the outer gate must have been captured by him. ”

In the crowd, whispers rang out.

Those teenagers with good eyesight all found that Murong Zhen's battle qi was floating around him, causing an aggressive momentum, and it was he who had just broken through the realm that would cause this.

Soon after, there was another commotion in the crowd, and I saw that the outer disciples who had been gathered gave way to each other, and a beautiful girl walked over, her face cold and arrogant, and she was disdainful of everyone around her.

"It's a tobacco. Yun Ao whispered.

Murong Zhen looked at it and found that Tantai Yan was also looking at him, and couldn't help but show a smile. "I heard that she has been cultivating for half a month, and now she should also be at the realm of the tenth stage of battle qi. ”

As he spoke, he had already retracted his gaze, and he found a corner and waited quietly for the competition to begin.

Subsequently, Lin Feng, Jin Wu, Gu Fan, Xia Yue and other people with outstanding strength from the outer sect had already arrived, and Bai Yang also blended into the crowd without attracting attention.

However, his appearance still attracted the attention of a person.

That's the tobacco.

Tan Taiyan's eyes were cold, looking at Bai Yang, a sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly looked away.

Soon, those inner disciples began to count the number of people, and after finding that all the outer disciples had arrived, they reported it to Elder Wan.

Elder Wan nodded and spoke, "Silence!"

His voice was not loud, but it spread to every corner of the school yard, and everyone could hear it.

The crowd soon fell silent.

"There were two rounds of competition today. Elder Wan's strong voice spread, and every outer disciple listened extremely attentively. "The first round was very easy for you. Of course, a group of people will definitely be eliminated, and cultivators are selected by natural selection, and only those who survive the test are qualified to continue walking. ”

As he spoke, an inner disciple had already carried up a huge soul stone and placed it in the center of the field.

The soul stone is a special prop to test the strength of a cultivator, and it has the effect of testing the spiritual root, bloodline, cultivation realm, and so on.

However, the lifespan of soul stones is not long, and many small soul stones can only be used about ten times before they are scrapped.

However, the huge soul stone in front of him was obviously specially prepared by the Xuanjian Sect for the Outer Sect Great Competition, which was enough to support the test of thousands of Outer Sect disciples.

"This soul stone, I personally applied some small means, if the strength is not enough for the sixth stage of the battle qi, it will be bounced away, which is equivalent to losing the qualification for the second round of the competition. Elder Wan looked around at everyone, and Zuihou said: "This outer gate competition, unlike usual, if the strength is not enough to fight the sixth stage, there is almost no hope of survival in the subsequent competition." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looking at the immature faces below that showed a look of shock, "Yes, this time in the big competition, a group of you who are good enough will face the test of life and death, but this is also the sect's order to hone you and make you grow better." ”

"Elder Wan, since this is the case, wouldn't it be good if we didn't consciously withdraw from the competition if we didn't have the sixth stage of battle qi, why do we need to use soul stones to test?" someone in the crowd asked loudly.

Hearing this, Elder Wan looked approving, "This is also the reason why I said that the first round is very simple, however, in order to prevent the disciples who are less than the sixth rank from concealing and losing in the future competitions, we have to use such means to screen." Of course, for those disciples whose strength has reached the sixth rank or above of the Battle Qi, we also need to accurately evaluate their true realm, which is to pave the way for the later competitions. ”

"Okay, I won't talk too much, you are divided into groups of 100 people, and you step forward to input your battle qi into the soul stone, and it will decide whether you go or stay. Elder Wan waved his sleeves and raised his voice, "The competition starts now!"

As soon as the words fell, many disciples who lacked the strength of the sixth stage of battle qi had already begun to retreat, and the number of people on the school field suddenly decreased by a small half, and about five hundred people left.

Elder Wan narrowed his eyes and said lightly to the inner disciple beside him, "Those who are leaving now, let's send them down the mountain afterwards." If you don't know how to face difficulties and only know how to retreat, what is the difference between being a wasted person?"

The inner disciple nodded and secretly made a note.

After Elder Wan finished speaking, his eyes saw Bai Yang in the crowd and let out a surprised sigh. "This kid has solid bones, strong qi and blood, and his body is quite good. ”

He still remembered that a few months ago, Bai Yang chose the broken exercise book when he was firm and entered the Dream Sutra, and he didn't pay much attention to it afterwards. And his gaze only stayed on Bai Yang for a moment, and soon shifted to the soul stone.

After the start of the competition, there have been six hundred people eliminated in a row, and the sixth stage of battle qi is a threshold after all, and there are not too many people who can reach this level. In addition, this first round of the competition is to eliminate all the outer disciples below the sixth stage of the battle qi, and those who are not strong enough are very interesting, and they are scrambling to line up in front to enter the battle qi into the soul stone.

Soon, all those disciples who had less than six levels of battle qi had been screened out, and then there were only about three hundred people left near the soul stone.

In other words, there are only 300 people with more than six levels of battle spirit.

"Well, more than I expected. Elder Wan was very pleased, looked at the three hundred people, and said slowly: "You have been able to reach the sixth level of battle qi or even higher in less than a year of entry, which is enough to show that you are extremely talented, but this alone is not enough. Your second round of competition is actual combat, but it is not a real battle with people, but with demon beasts. ”

As he spoke, Elder Wan slapped his face, and a full three hundred large cages were transported from around the school grounds. The cage made of dark iron reflected a cold light in the sunlight, and inside it was a monster beast of different shapes and shapes, but extremely hideous.

"These monsters are your opponents in the second round of competition. Elder Wan's gaze swept across the audience and said slowly, "It's not enough to be able to cultivate, if you don't go through life and death and don't taste blood, you won't grow at all. The strength of these demon beasts is different, and the weakest one is comparable to the sixth stage of battle qi, and the demon beasts are different from humans, they have an innate advantage, as long as one loses his mind, you will be torn apart by it. ”

As he spoke, the inner disciple had already handed out the signs with the cage number written on them. The three hundred pieces of the brand were distributed to everyone, and the faces of these remaining outer disciples were a little nervous.

Except for a few people, the rest of the people stared at the monster beast that kept roaring in the huge cage.

"According to the number in your hand, enter the corresponding cage, and kill the demon beast inside to pass the competition. Of course, if you feel that you can't defeat the demon beast, you can call for help and admit defeat, and the inner disciples guarding outside the cage will naturally rescue you. Elder Wan waved his hand again, and his voice spread throughout the audience.

"So, let's get started!"
