Li Xihan on the side silently listened to the conversation between Su Mu and Otoyu, and his heart was shocked and bitter.

I didn't expect that in addition to Su Mu, Otoyu's talent was so good. Although it was still slightly inferior in terms of sword skills and sword moves comprehension, in the realm of true qi, it was the first of the entire Cold Mountain Sword Sect to rush to the qi void realm.

I wonder what the master's expression will be when he learns the news?

Li Xihan was a little helpless. From the time he was adopted by Li Mengru when he was very young, he was never the best one. In the past, there was a senior brother Li Encheng who pressed himself, and no matter what he did, he was better than himself. At that time, Li Xihan could still comfort himself that his senior brother was only two years older than him, and he might not be able to do it in two years.

But then Su Mu appeared, and now there is Otowa, all of whom are talented wizards. Senior brother Li Encheng still has to travel to improve his enthusiasm and fighting spirit, but what about himself?

To say that he didn't have any idea about Su Mu, a genius-like junior disciple, was lying to himself, when he joined the prince with Han Shanxia before, Li Xihan also made an oath to beat himself hard with Su Mu as the goal, and he was never willing to just stand behind him, and when he met Su Mu again, Li Xihan found that he, the former second person in the sect, had obviously made up his mind to improve his strength, but he had unconsciously lost the courage to confront Su Mu.

Li Xihan had no doubt that although both of them were in the Sea Viewing Realm, Su Mu might not be able to use three moves if he wanted to defeat him.

All the self-confidence and fighting spirit cultivated in the past three years of hard training all collapsed in the moment when they saw Su Mu. At that moment, Li Xihan realized that he and Su Mu were inherently incomparable.

"Fourth Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?" Noticing the change in Li Xihan's mood, Su Mu asked with concern.

"Ah, nothing, just thinking about it for a while and not knowing what kind of preliminary mission it will be. Li Xihan interrupted.

"Earlier, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had actually told me the content of the preliminary round, and it shouldn't be too difficult for us, we just need to keep a low profile as much as possible, and we should be able to pass the test smoothly. Su Mu lowered his voice and said.

The three of them came to the designated place, and the position of the small and medium-sized clans was in the very back row, and they could only vaguely see the figure of the person in charge of reading out the content of the preliminary competition.

The specific tasks of the preliminary round will be read out below. The person in charge of the clan courtyard said loudly, "The mission is to find amethyst in the cave of Weeping Yangling. ”

"We have placed 900 pieces of amethyst in advance in the depths of the cave of Weeping Ridge, and you need to find one and bring it back smoothly to pass the preliminary round. ”

"The preliminary round starts at noon today and lasts until the sun sets. At that time, the children who have not successfully completed the task will automatically lose the qualification to enter the semi-finals. ”

"The structure of the Chuiyangling Cave is intricate, and the amethyst is the only natural light source, and it is possible to get out of the cave by following the bright light emitted by the amethyst. ”

"In addition, in the cave **, all acts of snatching amethyst are allowed, but you must not kill people or seriously maim them, contestants must bring special equipment, your every move will be recorded by the clan court, once the killing is established, it will be regarded as disqualified, everyone needs to pay special attention to this. ”

"In the deepest part of the cave there is a hidden cave, where four pieces of high-grade amethyst are stored, and the person who gets the best amethyst will automatically become the top four in the preliminary round, and the top four - >>

The disciples will not meet in advance before the semifinals of the semi-finals. ”

If you know, you will go up to the stage in order of clan order to receive the recording equipment, and prepare to go. ”

"Just go into the cave to find an amethyst, this preliminary round is really not too difficult. Otowa said, "There are more than 900 crystals in total, and each person only needs one crystal, so you should be able to complete the task quickly." ”

"Not necessarily. Su Mu explained, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that almost all of the content of this preliminary competition, from the way of the competition to the specific location, is the henchmen of Zuo Xiang who are responsible for finding and arranging, and it is difficult to ensure that he will do something inside." ”

"Wouldn't it? Zuo Xiang doesn't look like such a person?" Li Xihan said.

"Fourth Senior Brother, haven't you followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, you should know that the Crown Prince and Zuo Xiang are mortal enemies, right?"

"I know this, but Zuo Xiang looks pretty good, and I always think that he shouldn't use any tricks in the clan assembly. ”

"All in all, once the game starts, we have to keep moving together. There are as many as 80 entrances and exits in the cave of Chuiyangling, and we will leave as soon as we find enough amethyst as soon as we enter the cave, and try not to fight, so as not to have more rights and wrongs. Su Mu arranged in a low voice, this is also what the crown prince Liu Changxi specially told him this morning.

"Brother Mu, is this Chuiyangling Cave terrifying?How do you look very nervous?"

"Not really, I just have a hunch that this preliminary round may not go as smoothly as the prince thinks, and if someone comes out to make trouble, we must be very careful. ”

Su Mu turned to Li Xihan and continued: "Fourth Senior Brother, no matter what situation we encounter at that time, we must not take the initiative to take action, try to be careful." ”

What Su Mu was most worried about was actually Li Xihan, although he hadn't seen him for three years, Li Xihan back then was actually a young man with a relatively explosive temper and a straight temperament. The interior of the cave is already dark, especially suitable for ambushes and sneak attacks, and it is easy for people of Li Xihan's type to have accidents.

"Don't worry, junior brother, I'm fine. Li Xihan smiled, "It's good for me to follow the two of you, with the strength of the two of you, it shouldn't be difficult to get amethyst, just help me find a piece by the way." ”

"Fourth Senior Brother, what are you talking about, we are a whole, we all represent the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, and it is natural for us to help each other. Besides, you're very strong, too!" said Otowa comfortingly.

"I know my strength, try not to hold you back!"

After a while, the equipment in charge of recording was distributed, and Su Mu held this name-brand-like thing in his hand and observed it repeatedly, but he couldn't see anything from it.

It doesn't look like a very delicate workmanship, but can this thing really record that much information?

Su Mu was very skeptical.

"Okay, all the contestants should have already got their name tags, and now the councillors of the clan court will take you to the entrance of the cave that has been arranged, and the preliminary competition will start after the first cry of the yellow ape in the mountain. The person in charge of the stage said loudly.

"In addition, you are the elite of various clans, and I hope you can protect yourself well in the cave. The game is small, but the life is big. ”
