() "How, the opponents you drew in the first round shouldn't have any powerful characters, right?" Duan Chen asked curiously.

"It's okay, I drew a late-stage foundation building monk, and Senior Brother Jiang drew a mid-stage foundation building monk, no surprise, both of us should be able to easily advance to the next round. Nangong Yao shook the opponent label he had just drawn at Duan Chen, and said with a relaxed expression.

Jiang Yuanchao couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "This is only the first round, the two of us will definitely not meet any powerful opponents, if we draw those foundation building Great Perfection and False Dan Realm monks in the first round, how unlucky will it be?"

Duan Chen shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, your opponent is unlucky enough, one draws you, and the other draws Senior Sister Nangong." ”

After this period of cultivation in the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, Jiang Yuanchao has now successfully broken through from the peak of foundation building to the realm of the Great Perfection of foundation building, as for Nangong Yao, he had already broken through to the False Dan realm long before he joined the Beiyuan Immortal Palace.

Although Duan Chen didn't know how Nangong Yao had broken through to the False Dan realm in the first place, it seemed that his cultivation speed was not slow.

And although Duan Chen had never fought with Nangong Yao, he could faintly feel that Nangong Yao's cultivation now seemed to be much deeper than when he first entered the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, which made him feel a little surprised.

However, everyone has their own secrets, and Duan Chen doesn't plan to delve into them.

At this time, Li Mubai and Gu Ling'er walked over from not far away, and happened to see the opponent labels in the hands of Nangong Yao and Jiang Yuanchao.

I only heard Li Mubai smile and said: "It seems that we are lucky, we didn't draw any powerful opponents in the first round." ”

Looking at the aura exuded from his body, he had reached the False Dan Realm, and Gu Ling'er, who was standing beside Li Mubai, had also cultivated to the False Dan Realm.

"With your strength, as long as it's not too bad luck, it shouldn't be difficult to break into the top 100 in this competition. Duan Chen said with a smile, and asked in the dark: "Mu Bai, how did you inquire about the matter I asked you to inquire about last time?"

Li Mubai first glanced at Nangong Yao, and then replied: "The news of the inner palace is not easy to hear, and I also asked Senior Sister Fan Xueyi for help, only to find out that Sister Xuanshuang seems to be in retreat to impact the Jindan Realm recently, and she has not been out of the customs for half a year." ”

"I see, no wonder I summoned her and there was no response. Duan Chen was stunned, and at the same time secretly relieved in his heart.

During the period of cultivation in the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, Duan Chen had sent a message to contact Zhuge Xuanshuang several times, but he had never been contacted.

At first, he thought that Zhuge Xuanshuang was still angry with him, but now it seems that Zhuge Xuanshuang has not replied to his message because of the retreat and the impact of the Jindan Realm.

However, the news brought by Li Mubai relieved Duan Chen's doubts, but it also made him feel a little surprised.

After all, it didn't take long for Zhuge Xuanshuang to try to break through the Jindan realm, and this cultivation speed was too fast.

It seems that the so-called innate Dao body is indeed blessed with unique resources on the way of cultivation, and it is not comparable to others.

At this time, I only heard Jiang Yuanchao speak: "You guys talk first, my first competition is about to start, I'll go over and prepare first." ”

After speaking, Jiang Yuanchao rushed towards one of the rings without looking back.

Seeing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go."

, we also went over to take a look and cheer for Yuan Chao. ”

At that moment, the four of them followed Jiang Yuanchao closely and squeezed into the crowd.

This time, the Outer Palace Competition is mainly divided into two half areas, the left half of the fifty rings are for the level of the Qi refining period, and the fifty rings in the right half of the area are for the level of the foundation building realm.

And the people who were responsible for presiding over the two half-district competitions were all the major Jindan elders of the outer palace.

When Duan Chen and the others arrived near the ring, the fifty rings in the entire right half of the area had been surrounded by the disciples of the outer palace of the foundation building realm, and the noise was heard one after another.

Fortunately, Duan Chen and Nangong Yao were all fake Dan monks, and some foundation building disciples would silently give up a passage after sensing the cultivation of the four of them, so Duan Chen and the others soon came to the front of the ring where Jiang Yuanchao was.

At this time, the remaining forty-nine rings in the arena also began to compete one after another.

And between these rings, from time to time, some Jindan elders could be seen patrolling back and forth among them.

Although this ring competition is no matter whether it is life or death, in principle, it is still necessary to try to ensure the safety of every disciple of the outer palace.

Therefore, the main task of these Jin Dan elders who are responsible for patrolling the ring is to ensure the safety of every disciple participating in the ring as much as possible when the victory or defeat has been divided, and try to minimize the chance of death and disability in this big competition.

At this time, bursts of cheers suddenly came from Duan Chen's ears, it turned out that Jiang Yuanchao's opponent had already taken the stage, and the two sides had already begun to fight each other.

However, Duan Chen looked at it for a while, and then looked away with some interest.

Without it, with Jiang Yuanchao's current cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, there is really no big suspense about dealing with a mid-stage foundation building monk, but on the few rings not far away, the strength of the two sides involved in the battle is equal, which attracts the nearby crowd to applaud.

That lively atmosphere was contagious, attracting the attention of many disciples around.

"I heard that this big competition, even if you don't enter the top ten in the big competition, as long as you perform well in the big competition, you will also have the opportunity to get the key cultivation of the outer palace, and I don't know if it's true. Just as Duan Chen was observing the situation in the ring of all parties, Li Mubai suddenly spoke.

"It should be true, you look at those Jin Dan elders who are fighting on the sidelines, each of them has a list in their hands, and they should be recording the performance of those outer palace disciples in the ring. Gu Linger muttered.

Duan Chen looked up and saw that on the other side of the ring, Tai Miao Zhenren and some other Jindan elders were recording something, discussing a few words from time to time, as if they were judging the performance of the various disciples in the ring.

Duan Chen's slightly concentrated gaze froze, and he saw that Tai Miao Zhenren had crossed something off the list with a spirit pen.

It seems that some disciples who were defeated in the first round of the competition, or who performed poorly, should be crossed off the list, and the disciples who are worth observing should be left on the list, and continue to see their next performance before deciding whether they are worth cultivating in the future.

"By the way, I remember that there is a battle monument on Yanwu Peak, which records the names of the top 100 in the last big competition, are you interested in going over and taking a look. Li Mubai suddenly spoke, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place in Wufeng.

Duan Chen looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that on the other side of Yanwu Peak, there was a stone tablet six or seven zhang high, and the stone tablet was densely packed with people

name, it looks like there are more than one or two hundred.

At that moment, his eyes flashed, and he immediately found that the names of the people recorded on the stone tablet were mainly divided into three parts, corresponding to the Jindan period, the foundation building period and the qi refining period, and only the first hundred names were recorded in each realm.

Seeing this, Duan Chen's face suddenly showed a hint of deep interest.

At this time, I only heard Nangong Yao speak: "Senior Brother Duan, why don't we go over and have a look." ”

This was exactly what Duan Chen wanted, and he immediately nodded and said, "Then go over and have a look." ”

At that moment, the four of them said hello to Jiang Yuanchao, who had already gained the upper hand in the ring, and walked in the direction where the battle monument was.

There were also a lot of people gathered here, many of them, like Duan Chen, who were new disciples who had just joined the Outer Palace, and Nangong Wuxin was also among them.

Duan Chen's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he found that the fake pill aura in Nangong Wuxin's body had become more powerful and powerful, and it seemed that during the time he was cultivating in the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, he had also made a lot of progress.

Duan Chen glanced at him a few times before retracting his gaze and instead looked at the rankings on the battle monument.

"Mu Bai, what kind of person is Zang Xuan, who is ranked first on the Golden Pill List?" Duan Chen's eyes condensed slightly, and at a glance, he noticed the first name on the Battle Monument Golden Pill List, and asked.

"Actually, I don't know much about this, I only know that Senior Brother Zangxuan is very mysterious in our outer palace, except for the previous outer palace competitions to participate on time, he is not in our outer palace at ordinary times, it is said that he has been performing tasks outside, or going to dangerous places everywhere to practice. ”

"But the last time I participated in the Outer Palace Competition, I went to see one of his battles, and at that time, Senior Brother Zangxuan had already reached the realm of Jindan Great Perfection, thinking about it, with his qualifications, if nothing else, he should have broken through to the realm of false babies in the past few years. Li Mubai said with a little recollection.

"Fake Baby Realm?" Duan Chen nodded slightly when he heard this.

As the first disciple of the Jindan Realm in the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, it is not surprising that this Tibetan Xuan has the cultivation of the false infant realm.

"Speaking of which, this year's Jindan Realm disciple's big competition actually set the location on the side of Qingshan City, otherwise, we can take some time to go over and watch the battle. Li Mubai said with a look of regret.

At this time, I saw Gu Ling'er shaking his head and said: "This is also a matter of no choice, this time the demon clan suddenly invaded the North East and North regions of our human race, and in order to support the front-line battlefield, the outer palace sent many disciples of the Jindan realm to participate in the battle. ”

"That's right. Li Mubai nodded when he heard this.

Duan Chen had also heard the news that the Great Contest of the Outer Palace Jindan Realm disciples would be held in Qingshan City this time, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mu Bai, is this Jindan Realm level big competition rule also carried out in the form of a ring battle?"

Li Mubai shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, the big competition at the level of the Jindan Realm is much more exciting and intense than the big competition at the level of our foundation, so the rules of the previous sessions are different, sometimes it is to use the way of fighting in the ring, sometimes it is to break through the Heavenly Tower, and rank according to the results." ”

"In addition, there is the so-called survival battle mode, which is to put all the disciples of the Jindan Realm in a secret realm, let them fight on their own, and the longer they stay in the secret realm, the higher their ranking. ”
