Fortunately, it didn't take long for people to arrive in the square in front of the Zhengqi Temple, and Su Jingxuan just had an excuse to leave first.

Seeing Su Jingxuan leave here, Shen Qi turned his face to the side with some helplessness and looked at Jiu'er who was bowing his head and contemplating.

Shen Qi couldn't help frowning slightly.

For some reason, he always felt that today's Jiu'er was a little different from the past. But what is the difference, Shen Qi can't say. This is a strange feeling, if you have to say it, Shen Qi thinks it can be described as Jiu'er seems to have changed person.

But the moment this thought first came to mind, Shen Qi shook his head suddenly, and secretly reproached himself in his heart: Shen Qi, Shen Qi, what are you thinking nonsense?

It's just that some thoughts, once generated, cannot be annihilated.

Shen Qi looked at the familiar face beside him, and in addition to the usual tenderness in his eyes, there was also a hint of indescribable meaning.

Subconsciously, Shen Qi took Jiu'er's little hand, and then hugged the other party into his arms when he didn't react at all.

It's still the familiar temperature, the familiar fragrance, and the familiar coquettishness and shame.

Sure enough, I was thinking too much! Shen Qi couldn't help but put his mind at ease, and secretly pondered: I think it's because there are too many things I have encountered recently, which has caused me to feel a little restless!

Jiu'er struggled twice, blushed and said, "Shen Qi, ...... quickly Let go, there's someone next to you...... Somebody's watching!"

Before Shen Qi could say anything, there was a sound of tsk behind him.

"Tsk...... I said Brother Shen, this early morning sprinkled dog food, my 24K krypton gold dog eyes are a little unbearable!"

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then turned around with some surprise and looked at the comer.

Zhang Ze looked at Shen Qi with a look of "disgust", Jiu'er blushed, hurriedly turned sideways, and then stretched out his little hand and pinched Shen Qi's waist fiercely.

"Shhh......h Brother Zhang, why did you come up the mountain? Could it be that you are also coming to participate in the 'Youth Heroes Meeting'?"

Zhang Ze smiled and waved his hand, and said, "The assessment of the first two levels has ended, where am I still qualified to participate?" Yes...... It was the senior sister who sent me a message to be the invigilator of the third level. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ze's calm face turned a rare red.

"Supervisor...... Invigilator: What is it?" Shen Qi couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Oh, it's overseer. Zhang Ze said.

"Supervision?" Shen Qi was startled at first, and said secretly: Brother Zhang is not a few years older than me, and I am still worried about the competition, but the other party is already a supervisor......

But immediately, Shen Qi remembered Zhang Ze's unfathomable strength, and he was a little relieved in his heart.

Looking at Zhang Ze's rightful appearance, Shen Qi couldn't help but secretly wonder: I don't know if I can beat Brother Zhang with my current strength?

Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn't help but secretly compare his strength in all aspects with Zhang Ze. But in the end, Shen Qi found that except for his physical fitness, he was a little confident, whether it was fists or swords, he had no confidence at all.

"Hey...... It's still too weak......" Shen Qi couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Zhang Ze couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this, and immediately patted Shen Qi's shoulder, and said, "Brother Shen, why do you need to be like this? Your qualifications and circumstances can be said to be the only ones I have seen in the two realms of Earth and Ten Thousand Souls! Now what you lack is just the guidance of a famous teacher." It's just a martial arts journey, and there's no way to rely on others all the time. If you don't have the attitude of overcoming obstacles, how can you talk about the peak of martial arts?"

Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then a cold sweat slowly broke out.

This is the second time Zhang Ze has said this to himself, and he seems to have been struggling with how to choose between several great divine skills, but he forgot that the original intention of martial arts should be to forge ahead.

After Zhang Ze finished speaking, he saw that Shen Qi seemed to be thoughtful, so he smiled slightly, nodded at Jiu'er and left.

After a long time, Shen Qi exhaled softly, and his eyes became firm again.

Shen Qigang, who came back to his senses, wanted to thank Zhang Ze loudly, but found that the other party had long since disappeared.

"Don't look for it, it's long gone. Jiu'er couldn't help but glance at Shen Qi.

Shen Qi smiled embarrassedly, and just wanted to reach out and grab Jiu'er's little hand, but who knew that Jiu'er directly knocked Shen Qi's hand off, and said slightly angrily: "Shen Qi, you are getting bolder and bolder." I decided that the two of us were not officially ...... Until the relationship is confirmed, you can no longer be so casual and slight. ”

As she spoke, Jiu'er's pretty face flushed slightly, but her eyes were extremely solemn.

Shen Qi couldn't help but be surprised, secretly scolded himself for being too casual, and just wanted to apologize to Jiu'er, but then noticed a small and inconspicuous place in Jiu'er's words before.

"Goo......" Shen Qi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, then silently lowered his head, trying his best to hide the horror in his eyes, and then silently recalled all the conversations between him and Jiu'er today.

Jiu'er saw that Shen Qi first swallowed his saliva, and then lowered his head and didn't make a sound, thinking that he was remorseful for his actions, so he sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

However, Jiu'er didn't know that Shen Qi had already turned a monstrous wave in his heart at this moment......

Half an hour later, the fifty people who passed the second level yesterday were all present.

Shen Qi looked at Yu Xiang'er, who was frowning slightly at him not far away, with a puzzled expression.

No, why are there still fifty people? The Eagle and the Crane I killed last night...... Could it be that they weren't the players who were arranged by the Demon Sect to participate in the "Young Heroes"?

In fact, when Yu Crane fought last night, Shen Qi also speculated through the other party's bloated figure whether the crane was Fan Yuzhu, the eldest young master of the Fan family. But at this moment, seeing Fan Yuzhu with an indifferent expression not far away, Shen Qi dispelled this thought.

Not to mention whether the crane was stabbed to death by Yu Xiang'er with a sword last night, even if he survived, he would never be as light as Fan Yuzhu at the moment, at least his face would never be so ruddy.

Therefore, the crane must not be Fan Yuzhu.

If this was the case, Shen Qi would have to wonder about the protective measures of the Taihe Sword Sect.

One of the dignified "Six Swords" can actually allow outsiders to successfully infiltrate the sect's forces, isn't that too careless?

Thinking of this, Shen Qi suddenly had an idea: Should you tell Brother Zhang about this matter? After all, he is the mountain guard of the Taihe Sword Sect, and it is his duty to prevent outsiders from stealing the sect.

No matter how careless the disciples of the Taihe Sword Sect were to inspect at night, they shouldn't have let the people of the Demon Sect sneak in so easily! Could it be ...... Does the Taihe Sword Sect have an inner ghost? or is it ...... The high-level of the Taihe Sword Sect knew about this, and they deliberately let the people of the Demon Sect in?

Just when Shen Qi was thinking wildly, Su Jingxuan's voice had already come to mind.

"After a night's rest, I think you're back in good shape. So let me talk about the rules of the third level of the 'Young Heroes'. ”

As soon as she heard that Su Jingxuan went straight to the topic without dragging her feet, everyone present looked at her intently.

Su Jingxuan looked around and said loudly: "As you can see, the venue of this third level is the five rings in front of you. The content of the competition is also very simple, fifty people can be divided into five rings of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and each ring is exactly ten people. After a two-on-two duel, the winner continues, and the loser exits. Until the top ten of this 'Youth Heroes Meeting' are decided. ”

"Wait a minute! There are a total of 50 people present, so after the first round of the competition, there are 25 people left, so how can these 25 people compete? If it is still a two-by-two duel, then wouldn't there be a bye?"

It was Sun Haoyue, the young master of the Tibetan Knife Gate, who shouted.

As Sun Haoyue spoke, everyone first discussed for a while, and then turned their eyes to Su Jingxuan again, expecting her to give an explanation.

Who knew that Su Jingxuan smiled slightly, and said loudly: "What Master Sun Shaomen said is good. So I'm here to introduce you to a new 'friend'. ”

As she spoke, Su Jingxuan's eyes looked at Zhang Ze, who looked a little weird on the side.

"I'll ...... Senior sister, I thought your conscience had found out, and you let me be a tool man after making trouble for a long time?" Zhang Ze complained secretly, looking a little helpless.

But helpless, after all, it was the request of the person he liked, Zhang Ze had to take two steps forward, hugged his fists at everyone, and said loudly: "Taihe Sword Sect Zhang Ze, I have seen all the young talents!"

"Zhang Ze, why do you seem to have heard it somewhere?"

"yes, I think the name is so familiar, too......"

As Zhang Ze reported his name, everyone in the field began to discuss.

After a while, an exclamation sounded: "It's him!"

"Ah, that's right!' The thirty-sixth place on the 'Jianghu Master List', 'Monument Opener' Zhang Ze!"

Immediately, everyone present, including Shen Qi, gasped.

Zhang ...... Brother Zhang, he is actually a master on the 'Jianghu Master List'!" Shen Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and looked at Zhang Ze who was smiling not far away in disbelief.

And although Jiu'er beside Shen Qi also raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression soon returned to normal.

At this time, Su Jingxuan continued to say loudly: "Therefore, the opponent of the 'bye' player in the second round is Senior Brother Zhang Ze." And as long as there are 'bye' players in the back, their opponents are all Zhang Ze's junior brothers!"

As Su Jingxuan's slightly narrow voice fell, all the young talents present looked at her in disbelief.

Sun Haoyue also looked surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Su is joking, right?" Zhang Ze...... Senior brother is the 36th master of the 'Jianghu Master List'! Although we can be regarded as the best among the younger generation, how can we compete with the top 50 masters in the 'Jianghu Master List'?"

Everyone couldn't help but echo one after another, and even Shen Qi was puzzled.

Su Jingxuan seemed to have expected everyone to ask this question, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry. In the second round of the competition, the players who fought against Zhang Ze's junior brother only need to survive ten moves to be considered promoted!"

"Ten moves, that's really not difficult!"

"Yes, even if you are a master at the top level of the 'Triad Realm', it is not difficult to take ten moves. ”

With Su Jingxuan's explanation, everyone present gradually settled down. Only Shen Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered, "But...... Judging from my previous battles with Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang's internal cultivation should at least be the 'Grandmaster Realm'......"

Seeing that everyone seemed to have understood the rules of the third game, he said aloud: "In addition to seeing whether the opponent can win this third game, it also depends on the time it takes to defeat the opponent." So don't be careless!"

Without waiting for everyone present to discuss again, Su Jingxuan directly announced: "The third competition of the 'Youth Heroes' has officially begun!

As soon as Su Jingxuan's voice fell, a tall Taihe Sword Sect disciple dragged a tray full of bamboo sticks towards everyone.

Everyone did not hesitate and drew a bamboo stick.

When it was Shen Qi's turn, Shen Qi first glanced at Jiu'er and said, "I hope the opponent is not you." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Jiu'er to say anything, Shen Qi grabbed a bamboo stick at random. After Jiu'er also drew the bamboo skewer, the two of them turned over the bamboo skewer at the same time and looked at the serial number on it.

"Nine, what about you?" Shen Qi turned his head to look at Jiu'er.

"Twenty-one. Jiu'er smiled.

"It doesn't look like we're going to be opponents. Shen Qidao.

Jiu'er smiled and didn't speak.

After a while, all 50 people present drew bamboo sticks and learned their serial numbers.

"If you draw the same number, you will be the opponent in the first round!" Su Jingxuan's voice sounded at the right time.

Shen Qi was stunned, and then looked around.

Eventually, I saw a figure in the crowd glaring at me.

“...... Li Shaoling......"
