Chapter 36: The Trials Begin
As soon as his words fell, Gao Chengyu immediately said, "This is not fair to the disciples who participated in the selection!"
"Why does the Great Elder value this Tan Haokun so much?" the other elders echoed.
"I have already rewarded him for his meritorious service to the Sword Gate last time, and this time he is still being taken care of, and the others will definitely not accept it!"
“...”
The Great Elder didn't want to explain, so he slapped the dragon's head crutch again and said, "That's it." "Turn around and go, leaving the crowd behind
The elders looked at each other,
Everyone didn't expect that the Great Elder, who had always acted steadily, would actually hold the meeting of the Hall of Elders for the first time for the sake of desolation.
Lu Changfeng returned to Feilai Peak, summoned Lu Ling'er, Huang Yin, Xue Ren, and Xue Gui, and said, "The four of you are all qualified to participate in the Five States Secret Realm Trials, and you need to prepare for life." The four of them were ordered to say yes.
Except for Huang Yin, the other three are all in the early stage of the Yuan Infant realm, and they are directly qualified to participate in the selection.
Lu Ling'er and the three of them retreated, and Lu Changfeng left Huang Yin behind, and informed him of the decision of the Great Elder during the deliberation in the Hall of Elders, and Huang Yin was moved in his heart, and said: "If the disciple can't pass the selection competition, it will be a disappointment to the expectations of you and the Great Elder, Master." ”
The four of them practiced separately and waited for the selection competition.
Half a month later, the Sword Gate Five States Secret Realm Selection Tournament officially opened.
A high platform was temporarily erected in the Jianmen Guanring, and the top ten elders such as Feng Heyin were seated on the stage, Lu Changfeng and other outer door elders sat at the bottom, and the audience was full of Jianmen disciples.
The Great Elder jumped into the ring, and seeing that the disciples in the audience were still shouting and cheering, he paused on the dragon head crutches in the ring and said, "Today is the start of the Five States Secret Realm Selection Competition." With that, he raised his hand, and the ten stone rings slowly rose, and the audience was thunderous with joy.
This is a major event every five years, and it should have been presided over by the Sect Advocate Bairen, but he looked for Wangsuqing, so it was still presided over by Zhang Maoling, the highest senior elder.
Participating in the secret realm of the five states is a rare great creation, and many Sword Sect disciples have suppressed and cultivated in the Jindan realm for several years, and they have only recently broken through, just to participate in this experience, you can imagine the cruelty of this selection competition.
The four of them were also in the crowd, and as far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of people, all full of confidence and eager to try. There are still many disciples on the periphery who are not qualified to participate, and they are all cheering for their senior brothers.
His story had already been reported in the Sword Gate, and many disciples around him were not convinced, casting contemptuous glances at him and making mocking remarks.
"I was biased when I started, and now I am still biased, and I have to be shameless!"
"I had a good impression of him before, but this thing is really not authentic!"
"Yes, although it is meritorious, only ten people can participate in the secret realm of the five states in five years, how can they enter so easily. ”
“......”
The Desolate Dao has a stable heart and an excellent mentality, ignoring their cynicism. Lu Ling'er couldn't stand it, and shouted: "What's not convinced, Senior Brother Tan is not incomparable, if he can defeat the tenth place and enter the secret realm list, it will also be a proof of strength!"
Xue Ren Xue Gui is usually wooden and not good at words, but at this time, he is also unhappy with the wilderness, Xue Ren shouted: "If Senior Brother Tan defeats the Yuanying Realm in the heartbeat realm, what else do you have to say then?"
It's a pity that whenever this happens, most of them are difficult to beat, and everyone still talks about the absurdity.
On the stage, the Great Elder immediately announced the rules, and everyone stopped talking.
A group of participating disciples are divided into ten groups, each group of two and two duels, the loser is eliminated, and the winner advances to the next round, until the final ten winners are determined, which is the ten people who entered the secret realm of the five states in the Sword Gate this time.
But it's not over yet, the ten people who have been shortlisted have to face off in pairs, and the bye will directly enter the next round, until the strongest person is produced, and this person is the person who led the team of Jianmen's experience in the secret realm of the five states.
According to the previous rules, the tryouts are over at this point, but this year there is one more Hidden Shadow, who has to fight for the last spot in the tenth place. Therefore, the five of the ten people eliminated in the first round will have to play again until the weakest one is selected.
After the announcement of the Great Elder, the disciples who participated in the selection competition were randomly grouped and began to compete on stage in pairs.
Lu Ling'er and Xue Ren and Xue Gui brothers were placed in different groups, which is also the principle of avoiding the same master.
The three junior brothers of Huang Yin and Liu Guanzhang shouted and cheered for the four of them in the audience, and Lu Ling'er had the privilege of entering and leaving the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at will, so he practiced penance in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion every day, and his skills soared, sweeping all the way.
The number of participants is large, and the selection is protracted. Until the end of the day's competition, Lu Ling'er, Xue Ren, and Xue Gui still retained the chance to enter the final list.
After five days of competition, the list of ten people was released, Lu Ling'er was successfully shortlisted, and Xue Ren and Xue Gui brothers were eliminated.
Absurdly observed, among the ten people, there was also Zhao Runheng, secretly sighing that this person was talented and strong.
After getting off the stage, Huang Yin comforted Xue Ren and Xue Gui, and said hello to Lu Ling'er: "Ling'er, you are so good, the first-place competition will start in two days, you should prepare well, it is best to lead the team this time!" Lu Ling'er was also very happy, and said: "Senior Brother Tan, you should also prepare well, you are a decisive victory." The two talked and laughed all the way back to Feilai Peak.
Soon two days passed, and the trials continued.
Zhao Ruiheng became more and more courageous and directly entered the next round, but Lu Linger seemed to be in no state at all and was eliminated to the loser's group.
She got off the stage and walked to the side of the hideaway with a grin. Asoin wanted to comfort her, but seeing Lu Ling'er's expression, it was very strange, so she stopped talking, and the two watched the winner's group game together.
This Zhao Runheng is really not simple, until the last round he was still on the stage, and he was playing against a young man in his thirties who looked like he was much older than him.
Lu Ling'er said: "This person's name is Ye Shichang, he is extremely calm in dealing with people, three or four years ago he was in the Jindan realm, and he was designed to suppress the realm today, and he only broke through a few days ago." ”
Huang Yin looked at it curiously, and saw that he had a small head, a round face, black clothes, his face was really calm, a set of swordsmanship was smooth, and his strength was very good, and he kicked Zhao Ruiheng into the audience to win in just a few moments, and became the captain of the secret realm of the five states of the Sword Gate.
Another day passed, and the losers' bracket was to decide the last place. Lu Ling'er came on the field, and the duel against him was also a woman.
Huang Yin, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, Xue Ren and Xue Gui, the two brothers shouted and cheered below, but Lu Ling'er was still knocked out of the ring by the other party.
Lu Ling'er got off the stage, and Huang Yin hurriedly caught up, and said eagerly: "Ling'er, there is only one game left, you have to adjust your state quickly, if you win this one, you will be on the list!" Lu Changfeng also couldn't sit still on the stage, and rushed over in a hurry to point her out. Lu Ling'er herself said like no one else: "Today's state is not good, don't worry, I will definitely win the next game!"
Finally, in the last battle, Lu Ling'er fought a young man about twenty years old, and this person was named Gu Mingzhe. The two entered the arena, and there was a deafening shout from the audience.
"Gu Mingzhe, come on, down with her!"
Suddenly, there was a discordant cry from behind the hideout.
Huang Yin turned around, saw that it was Hao Bin, his face turned black at the moment, and asked: "It's your business to shout for Gu Mingzhe, why are you shouting behind me?" Hao Bin smiled: "This viewing ring is not your family, where do you care where I shout?"
Hao Bin knew that he was not his opponent, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "You dare to do it here?"
