The Rising Sun Chapter 14 The Offensive and Defensive Battle of the Dojo
After a few more months, Chengmu ushered in the first heavy snow closure since he entered the Thunder God Sect. The mountains are covered in snow and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
Chengmu has been cultivating hard, and it has been almost a year since he came to Thunder God Mountain. If you observe with the spirit eye, at this time, every cell in Chengmu's body is constantly flashing with an arc, and the activity is extremely strong, like a small sun, which is already infinitely close to the embodiment of the late stage of the spirit induction, and it is only one foot away.
During this period, Chengmu was dragged by Song Liang to participate in several "dinners" and took on the task of collecting firewood.
Originally, Cheng Mu was reluctant to go to death, but once, Ling Feng came to the Thunder Dojo and praised Cheng Mu a few words in front of Ling Ji, and Cheng Mu immediately compromised. What kind of compliment is this? This is clearly a naked threat!
Cheng Mu had no doubt that if he didn't participate in the "gluttonous trio", this uncle would definitely kill his relatives and tell his master Ling Ji about himself. After all, when he first ate the roasted thunder sparrow, Ling Feng didn't hold a knife around his neck, everything was Chengmu took the initiative, and he couldn't explain it to the master!
However, Cheng Mu has also gained a lot of benefits, it may be that he has eaten too much meat, his nutrition is too good, Cheng Mu's height has grown a lot, he was originally much shorter than his peers, but now he has surpassed his peers by a large margin, in Ling Feng's words, it is completely his good intentions as an uncle.
On the day when the snow first melted, Song Liang found Chengmu who was cultivating in the mountains and said that there was something important and the master asked him to go back to the dojo.
Cheng Mu and Song Liang came to Mingxin Hall, except for the vacancy of the main seat, the other seats were already full, and those were all the elders of the Thunder Dojo, the old men of the He Ling Ji generation.
There were already many disciples waiting here in the hall, including a few disciples of the Ling Ji generation who had not gone out to practice.
As soon as Guo Jia saw Chengmu coming, he hurriedly shrank behind his father Guo Feng. It's been more than a year since the last time Chengmu apprenticed, and she hasn't shown up. Everyone thought that the little girl had grown up, was sensible, and knew that she had cultivated hard, and for this reason, Guo Feng, as a father, was really happy.
However, only she knows that she is afraid, afraid to see Chengmu. Every time she thought that she was going to call a little broken child younger than herself as her uncle, she felt that her self-esteem was spilled to the ground.
For more than a year, she would rather stay at home and practice boringly than go out for a walk, just to avoid Chengmu. However, the effect of diligent cultivation is still significant, and after more than a year, she has broken through to the early stage of the body building realm and began to learn physical arts.
Everyone waited for a while, and Daoist Ling Ji walked in from the back hall and sat on the main seat of Mingxin Hall. In the Thunder Dojo, Ling Ji is not the oldest, there are some older elders who are Ling Ji's senior brother and sister, but Ling Ji is the ancestor in charge of the contemporary Thunder Dojo, so he sits in the main seat.
"Three days later, the Zongmen's five-year dojo offensive and defensive battle will begin. Ling Ji opened his mouth and said, "The rules are the same as in previous years, with the participation of disciples from the Body Building Realm and the middle and early stages of the Guiyuan Realm. ”
After everyone listened, they were excited, and finally started - the dojo offensive and defensive battle!
The Thunder God Sect has a total of five dojos, Heavenly Thunder, Running Thunder, Earthquake Thunder, Thunder and Thunderbolt. In addition to practicing the "Thunder Spring Method" in the Spirit Channeling Realm, after that, they will practice along the five different routes created by their ancestors, and the five different cultivation routes are the five veins of the Thunder God today, and the ultimate goal is to practice the "Great Thunder God Technique".
The practice routes of the five dojos are different, the understanding of thunder art is different, and their respective techniques are also different, and there is no absolute strength or weakness.
The five major cultivation routes created by the ancestors have been proved by later generations to lead to the same goal, and they can all be practiced to become the ultimate powerful thunder god technique. It's just that in the past 10,000 years, the five major dojos of the Thunder God Sect, the top masters and genius disciples have withered, and no one has succeeded.
Currently, there are three generations of disciples in the Thunder Dojo. The first generation represented by Ling Ji's first disciple Guo Feng, the second generation represented by Guo Jia, and the third generation of the younger generation, but Ling Ji himself does not have a third generation of disciples.
The three generations of disciples of the Thunder Dojo are not many, and they are the disciples and grandchildren of several senior brothers of Ling Ji.
In the Thunder God Sect, only by breaking through to the late stage of the Yuan Dynasty can they be qualified to accept disciples and preach. The monks of this realm are already very powerful in their spells, and they can no longer participate in the offensive and defensive battles of the dojo, and only the disciples of the body building stage, the middle stage of the Guiyuan period, and the early stage are eligible to participate.
The offensive and defensive battles of the dojo are held every five years, mainly to test the achievements of the disciples' cultivation. At the same time, take this opportunity to test whether the disciples have deviations in the cultivation path, and the teachers can intervene and correct them in time.
For the disciples of the two different realms of Guiyuan and Zhuti, the rules of the dojo offensive and defensive battles are the same. Each of the five major dojos will be divided into a field, and ten disciples of the corresponding realm will be sent as defensive disciples, and no more than fifty disciples will be sent as offensive disciples. The defensive disciples sit in the middle of the field, waiting for the challenge of the attacking disciples of the other dojos.
After defeating the opponent, the defensive disciples of any vein can rest for three games, and the other challenging disciples can only choose the other defensive disciples of the same vein to ensure that there will be no wheel battle, unless there are less than three defensive disciples of this vein. After the defensive disciple was defeated, he lost the qualification to continue defending.
The offensive disciples are not subject to any constraints, they can challenge the defensive disciples of the other four veins at will, and after the challenge fails, they can no longer continue to challenge the other defensive disciples of this lineage, but they can challenge the defensive disciples of other dojos.
Each of the five courts has a law enforcement elder who oversees the game and decides the winner.
Within three days, the winner is the one with the largest number of remaining defensive disciples in the field. If there are the same number of people left in the two dojos, they are jointly judged as the winner. If after three days of competition, all the defensive disciples are defeated, there will be no ranking.
The dojo that wins the battle in the dojo attack and defense will receive different rewards from the sect according to the ranking, such as various elixirs, magic books and magic weapons, which are all treasures that monks dream of. Of course, there are no rewards for a dojo without ranking.
For the disciples of the Spirit Channeling Realm, they can also go to watch the battle together, mainly to bring them out to see the world. The disciples of the Spirit Induction Realm haven't started to learn physical arts and spells yet, and they can't fight yet, so they can't be allowed to compete in wrestling and boxing like mortals!
For this year's dojo offensive and defensive battle, there is also a particularly important significance, that is, a year later, the Ten Thousand Law Immortal Sect will hold a decennial disciple selection conference.
The Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect is the super sect that the Thunder God Sect is attached to.
Once every ten years, the disciples who have entered the middle stage of the body building before the age of twenty will be selected from each affiliated sect and introduced to the Immortal Sect, where they will practice trials with the disciples of the Immortal Sect, and the cultivation time will be as little as one year and as long as three years.
During this period, some particularly outstanding disciples of affiliated sects will be valued by the Immortal Sect, and the Immortal Sect will send elders to discuss with the teachers of the original sect where they are located, and these disciples will be directly admitted to the Immortal Sect and become official disciples.
Once the Wanfa Immortal Sect takes a fancy to a disciple of an affiliated sect, it will not forcibly accept it as a formal disciple, but also depends on the wishes of its original sect and himself.
As one of the four super sects on this boundless continent, the Ten Thousand Law Immortal Sect has all kinds of geniuses, and it is impossible to force any disciple to join. However, basically, no affiliated sect would refuse the kindness of the Immortal Sect.
The affiliated sect sent the talented disciples to the Wanfa Immortal Sect and became the official disciples of the Immortal Sect, saying that it didn't matter, it was impossible, after all, they were all cultivated with all their resources.
However, the form is stronger than the person, the Wanfa Immortal Sect is too powerful, and investing in the Immortal Sect will have a significant impact on the life of the monk, and no sect wants to bury its own disciples.
In addition, it is not that once you enter the Wanfa Immortal Sect, you have nothing to do with the original sect, many disciples are grateful for the enlightenment grace of the mother sect, and after they have achieved success, they will return to the mother sect to serve as an elder or become a "shadow guard" who guards the sect, and do their best for the sect.
Like the Ling Ji brothers, long or short, they have all practiced in the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect for a period of time, and now they have become an ancestor, which is inseparable from their cultivation experience in the Immortal Sect back then.
In order to send more disciples into the Immortal Sect, all affiliated sects will try their best to increase the cultivation speed of the disciples without harming the foundation, so as to have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Sect's cultivation trial. Even if they can't become official disciples of the Immortal Sect after a few years, they must let the disciples gain a lot during the period of Immortal Sect's cultivation.
The Thunder God Sect was no exception, and every five years, they would hold a dojo offensive and defensive battle to test their disciples. Especially this dojo offensive and defensive battle, in fact, it is to warm up for the disciple selection meeting of the Ten Thousand Law Immortal Sect in a year.
For the disciples who meet the requirements of the body building realm, let them consolidate their cultivation and make further progress. And for those disciples who had not entered the Body Building Realm and were still lingering in the middle and late stages of the Spirit Formation Realm, the teachers and masters also tried their best to help them enter the Body Building Realm.
"Three days later, all the disciples went to the offensive and defensive arena with the master, and the disciples in the sect and those who were interested could accompany them. Senior Brother Guo Feng announced.
