(Thanks to "Mr. M" and "Little Ghee" for their tips, thank you for your support)

"That's right, your cultivation has really reached the peak of the eighth rank, just right. Ling Feng's eyes were shining, he looked at Chu Duan, and nodded frequently: "If you break through to the ninth rank, then you have to be included in the main hall as an elite disciple." These eight-stage peaks, combined with your swordsmanship, plus the artistic conception of Ercheng Feng, the disciples of the nine-stage peak, you can also fight, maybe, you can also win and compete for the top three. ”

"The first three, there must be me. Chu Duan said, there was a kind of confidence in his flat tone.

"Okay, haha. Ling Feng smiled very happily: "This time, I want to let those people in the main hall see, our inner gate three courtyards, not every time they go through the motions, this time, let them burst into tears." ”

Chu Duan didn't speak, looking at Ling Feng's courtyard, he could feel his heartfelt excitement and joy and ...... Expectation.

"Let's go, gather in the three courtyards, it's time to go to the main hall. After Da Lu laughed, Ling Feng regained his composure, took his sword, and smiled at Chu Duan.

"For each Qingfeng Sword Fighting Event, our three academies will select two places to participate. As he walked, Ling Feng said as he took charge of the courtyard: "But this time, we Ling Feng Courtyard, it is enough for you to participate." One more and one less, there is no difference at all. ”

"Hmm. Chu Duan nodded.

It didn't take long for Chu Duan and Ling Feng to take charge of the courtyard and come to a small mountain gate, and there were two disciples of the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Realm guarding this mountain gate, and in addition, there were six people.

"Li Zhangyuan, you came so slowly. "Among the six people, two of them are about the same age as Ling Feng Zhangyuan, a man and a woman, the speaker is a man, with a majestic appearance, a bit of a bitter face, and a dull voice. And the woman's appearance is not very beautiful, but she gives people a gentle feeling, always with a faint smile, which is easy to make people feel good.

"It's you who came too early. Ling Feng replied with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the other four disciples.

At the same time, the four disciples also saw Chu Duan, and their eyes suddenly lit up, and there were various mixed emotions such as joy, worship, and awe.

"Chu Duan, he is the head of the Minglei Academy, and she is the head of the Bishui Academy. Ling Feng Courtyard introduced Chu Dui, and immediately, he looked at Ming Lei Courtyard and Bishui Courtyard, and said: "He is Chu Duan, this time in our Ling Feng Academy, Chu Duan will appear." ”

"He's Chu Dui!" The eyes of Ming Lei Zhangyuan and Bishui Zhang Yuan fell on Chu Duan's body together, and the essence flickered, like electricity and water, which suddenly made Chu Duan feel pressured, and there was a feeling that the surrounding air was solidified, and he felt that he was being restrained, and it was as if he was going to be seen through.

But Chu Duan's face did not change silently, but instead saluted the Thunder Palm Courtyard and the Blue Water Palm Courtyard.

"It's indeed a bit of a skill, no wonder you can kill Wang Feng, I hope that when facing the elite disciples of the main hall, you can still fight, don't lose the face of Ling Feng Academy." The tone of the Thunder Leader was a little stiff, and his attitude was not friendly.

"The peak sword qi cultivation of the eighth rank, I heard that your swordsmanship is superb and far superior to other disciples, I hope you can achieve a good ranking in this Qingfeng sword fighting event, and give the main hall a surprise. Bishui Zhangyuan has a lovely smile, soft words like water, and a kind attitude.

"Ha Luha, you guys wait and see, this time, Chu Duan will definitely give the main hall a big surprise. Ling Feng said with a smile, full of confidence in Chu Duan, because he knew Chu Duan's strength.

The swordsmanship cultivated by Chu Duan is the Ling Feng Sword Technique Qingfeng Sword Technique, and the comprehension is the artistic conception of the wind, under the artistic conception of the wind, the power of the wind swordsmanship will be doubled, and the attack speed will also be significantly improved.

Originally, the speed of the wind swordsmanship was very fast, and under the increase, it was faster, the power was doubled, and it was even more powerful, and there was a very important point, for the swordsman who practiced the same swordsmanship, there was a greater difference in the artistic conception of the same system, and it could completely form a weakening or even suppression. ...,

Just like in the Chu family, when Chu Duan faced Wang Qi, Wang Qi also used wind swordsmanship, but he was crushed by Chu Dui, and it didn't help to cultivate a level higher than Chu Duan.

"Hmph, hopefully. The attitude of the Ming Thunder Palm was still unfriendly, and he said coldly.

"Let's go, we should go up. Bishui Zhangyuan's smile was still so gentle, and said.

After walking through the small mountain gate, and then go out of the gravel path for about 100 meters, there is a staircase that leads to the main hall.

"There are nine hundred and ninety-nine of them, called the ladder of heaven. Ling Feng Palm Courtyard smiled and introduced to Chu Duan: "The first line of the main hall and the third courtyard, although they both belong to the Qingfeng Sword Sect, they can also be regarded as two branches under the Sword Sect to a certain extent. The purpose of this ladder is that the main hall is used for the initial examination and assessment of external disciples recruited once every five years, and only by walking through the ladder within the specified time can you enter the re-examination. ”

"I see. Chu Duan was suddenly wondering, once the disciples of the Third Courtyard of the Inner Gate were promoted to the ninth rank of the sword qi, they would immediately become the elite disciples of the first line of the main hall, so where did those disciples below the ninth rank of the first line of the main hall come from?

Now listening to Ling Feng's words, Chu Duan finally understood.

"By the way, Chu Duan, you don't have to take the attitude of the Thunder Sect to heart. Ling Feng's lips moved slightly, and there was no sound, but Chu Duan's ears sounded directly: "He will treat you so unkindly, it is entirely because of Wang Feng's relationship." The original Wang Feng was one of the candidates who was designated as Minglei Academy to participate in the Qingfeng Sword Fighting Event, and the other was He Kaiming. But now, He Kaiming has become an elite disciple, Wang Feng has died in your hands, and there is no one available in the Thunder Palm Academy, so he can only choose two ordinary eighth-stage peak disciples to make up the number, so he must be very depressed in his heart. However, as long as you are at the top of this sword fighting event or even win the top three, his attitude towards you will change 180 degrees. ”

"Well, I don't care. Chu Duan said softly, he didn't have the ability to transmit sound from sword qi, and suddenly, Chu Duan thought that he had an external sword qi, could he control the external sword qi and make an ability similar to that of sword qi transmission.

Chu Duan knew that when he spoke, his voice relied on the air to transmit, so if he could control the outer sword qi, could he directly transmit the sound to the other party's ears through the outer sword qi without scattering it, so that others could not hear it.

Thinking of this, Chu Duan thought about it and didn't speak.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, step by step, it takes a considerable amount of time.

Finally, the eight of them walked up the stairs at the back, and what appeared in front of everyone was a square-like open space paved with cyan stone slabs, which looked very large. This is the sword practice ground outside the main hall, and there is a circular platform with a diameter of 20 meters with a protrusion of half a meter high in the middle, which is the sword platform used by the disciples of the inner door of the main hall.

At the end, there is a large hall, with cyan as the base, standing majestically, surrounded by a sharp edge, like a giant sword pointing straight to the sky, the edge is fully displayed.

"That is the Qingfeng Main Hall, the location of the Qingfeng Sword Fighting Festival this time is the internal sword training field after the main hall, let's go. Ling Feng said, and the eight people, with their own different moods and the same excitement, strode towards the majestic main hall.

The sunlight sprinkled on the outer sword training field, like a glowing white veil falling on the bodies of the eight people of Chu Duan, making them feel the slightest warmth, and what was going towards them was the future and hope, and their hearts were even hotter, like the sun shining on everything in the sky.
