Chapter 411: The Contest Begins

Wu Changyuan nodded silently, and after a while, he asked again: "Xiaoyou, your formation level is very high, the old man remembers that there is a very powerful formation protection outside the sword mound, and ordinary people can't enter, I don't know how you got in." ”

Cheng Ling smiled and said: "Senior, the peripheral formation is indeed very strong, and we also spent a great price to enter, as for the lower formation, it is only seven grades." ”

He didn't die of his words, the Seven-Rank Array Dao Grandmaster was already considered a very high grade in Canglan Big 6, and he always had to leave some hole cards for himself.

Wu Changyuan's face was moved, and he said: "Yes, you are young, not only have you cultivated to reach the peak of the late stage of the merger, but you can even reach the seventh rank of the formation path, it is indeed not simple, are you willing to become a disciple of my Shura Sword Sect?"

Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, after all, he couldn't avoid this problem, and thought for a moment before saying: "Senior, you should know that I am the sect master of the Wuxiang Sword Sect and a disciple of the Famous Sword Academy, and I am already a disciple of the Shura Sword Sect, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to become a disciple of the Shura Sword Sect!"

"Besides, in another twenty days, I will have to participate in the competition of the six major academies, and joining the Shura Sword Sect at this time is afraid of causing unnecessary suspicion. ”

Wu Changyuan was silent, the rules of the Shura Sword Sect never allowed disciples to have other shares outside. It can be said that once he becomes a disciple of the Shura Sword Sect, Cheng Ling's other shares will be canceled, which is a bit difficult.

Moreover, he had also heard a little about the competition of the six major academies, and presumably several masters of the Famous Sword Academy would not agree to leave the academy at this time. In his heart, he felt that Cheng Ling was naturally more concerned about the disciples of the Famous Sword Academy.

As everyone knows, if Cheng Ling is allowed to choose, he will not hesitate to give up the Famous Sword Academy and retain the share of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, not for the sake of the sect master's throne, but for the sake of Xuan Lingzi and Liu Qingyan!

After thinking for a long time, Wu Changyuan finally said helplessly: "That's it, Cheng Ling Xiaoyou, since you can't leave the academy for the time being, you can only do it to become a disciple of the Shura Sword Sect." Rest assured, the door of my Shura Sword Sect will always be open for you. Thank you for telling me the news of the Sword Shrine, and there will be a report later!"

"Thank you for your understanding!"

"That's it, in that case, let's not bother, and we'll leave!"

After speaking, he took Ye Ziqian and left.

After they left, Jian Yinghao asked, "Brother Cheng, do you think they will go to the Sword Shrine?"

Cheng Ling smiled and said, "Yes, but so what, I have long instructed Old Man Yuan Ling that even if they enter the Sword Shrine and make a fuss, the entrance to the Sword Pavilion cannot be easily opened." ”

Jian Yinghao laughed, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "How is the challenge of the underground ring?"

"Brother Sword wants to try?"

"Yes, in the past six months, the lack of Heavenly Dao has been made up, and the cultivation has been promoted to the peak of the middle stage of the merger, I want to see if I can break through again in the battle. ”

Cheng Ling thought for a while, then said: "This is also a way, you and Youlan, Yiyi and others can try it." Light smoke, what are your plans?"

After a few months of cultivation, among the others, Liu Qingyan, Jian Yinghao, Gu Youlan, and Bai Yiyi all raised their cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the merger. There are only Xiyan and Zhang Hu, the two of them need to be distracted by alchemy and refining, but they have not improved much, and they are still in the early stage of integration.

Liu Qingyan glanced at him and said, "It's no problem for the three of us to fight in the ring, but Yiyi."

Why, it's been so long, and you're still hanging her like this, and you're not afraid of the little girl's resentment. ”

Cheng Ling scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, Bai Yiyi was hearty, lively and active, and stopped every day long. She is different from Gu Youlan and others, as long as Cheng Ling is on the side, she doesn't care about whether there is an intimate act at all.

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's okay, this girl is innocent, let her go! After the Danwang Valley, we will return to the Wuxiang Sword Sect and solve these things together." ”

Liu Qingyan's eyes widened and said, "This is what you said, don't regret it." ”

As an elder, she is the oldest among the four daughters, so she plays the role of the eldest lady, and sometimes she has to worry about these things for Cheng Ling. But as a woman, I always don't like a woman whose husband has too many concerns, so let's be late, just later.

Cheng Ling smiled, knowing her thoughts, glanced at Jian Yinghao again, and said, "Brother Jian, don't worry, I will take Yiyi's affairs to heart." ”

Jian Yinghao was immediately relieved, called Liu Qingyan, and prepared to go to the underground ring with Gu Youlan and Bai Yiyi to challenge.

Cheng Ling sat back on the chair, there were less than twenty days left before the competition of the six academies, it was already difficult to improve his cultivation in such a short time, so he would review the challenge experience during this time, the fusion of the Nine Absolute Swords and the power of artistic conception could be improved again, and the rest of the time would be used to impact the realm of the Eight Rank Dan Master!

Time passed slowly, and Cheng Ling fell into silence again. It's just that the underground ring in Yujing City is extraordinary, and after Cheng Ling, four powerful defenders have appeared.

All of them came from the Famous Sword Academy, and they made great progress with the cultivation at the peak of the middle stage of the merger, and soon won dozens of consecutive victories. The outstanding disciples of the major forces went to challenge one after another, but they were all defeated by them.

For a time, in the Yujing City, the prestige of the Famous Sword Academy was greatly enhanced, but it was the upcoming competition of the six major academies, which started the momentum.

When the three major courtyard masters heard the news, they were greatly relieved, and the head of the academy praised the performance of the kendo academy, leaving Sun Yuanliang with a black face. But helplessly, although Liu Qingyan is also a disciple of the Famous Sword Academy, he is not a disciple of the Sword Academy, but is even closer to the Sword Academy.

More than ten days passed, and all four of them won a hundred consecutive victories, and for a while, the entire Fan Mansion was beaming, and the disciples of the Famous Sword Academy suddenly felt that their waists were much straighter. For more than 100 years, the academy has been reduced to the bottom of existence. It can still run rampant in the south for a while, but once it is out of the southern region, the words spoken are not loud enough.

Now, Jian Yinghao and others have made a name for themselves on behalf of the academy, and they can finally raise their eyebrows and be more confident in the competition after a few years.

The master of the general courtyard was relieved, and he no longer cared about them. At night, the Fan Mansion was staggered, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces. Only Sun Yuanliang looked at Cheng Ling and the others in the field from a distance, and a trace of sunk flashed in his eyes.

A few days passed in a flash, and the competition officially came.

Early in the morning, the three masters of the courtyard instructed the disciples to wait in the courtyard, and everyone went to the competition venue together.

After everyone arrived, the three courtyard masters also came to the courtyard. The head of the courtyard swept his consciousness and nodded with satisfaction. Cheng Ling's June strategy, everyone has made great progress.

In terms of cultivation, Jian Yinghao, Liu Qingyan, Gu Youlan, and Bai Yiyi have reached the late stage of integration, coupled with the evil wind, the competition of swords, law, and martial arts has a greater grasp.

As for the four gates of the Dan Fu Array, Xi Yan finally reached the realm of the seven-rank peak Dan Master under the practice of a large number of herbs. Zhang Hu reached the sixth-grade refining weapon master, and with Cheng Ling's terrifying array grade, he could score at least two points.

The rest is the main battle and the group battle, thinking of this, the head of the main courtyard rarely blushed. Cheng Ling played a package ticket in the team battle, and he was 100% sure of it, and the chance of scoring was extremely high. On the contrary, it was himself, which bit dragged down the overall combat power.

No, the younger disciples are so competitive, they must do their best, and they must not let them look down on them. At this point, the pride suddenly became arrogant, and he said loudly: "Okay! Everyone is working hard, I believe that this time, we will definitely be able to help the academy achieve better results, out!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed, and the head of the courtyard waved his hand and walked towards the outside of the mansion first.

Cheng Ling secretly snickered, he didn't expect that the head of the courtyard also had this side, in the past, the dragon could not see the end, but now he did not hesitate to personally lead the team to encourage. It seems that during this time, the pressure is indeed very high.

The group of people Hao Hao dang) dang), followed the three major courtyard masters, and walked towards the destination of the competition. To be honest, except for the three masters, no one knew the location of the competition, and after walking for half an hour, everyone suddenly understood.

In front of you is the central square of Yujing City, and only here can many monks watch.

There have also been great changes in the square, led by the landlord of Tianji Academy, and a huge competition site has been temporarily built around the square.

The field is divided into categories, there is a Dan Fu Array competition area, there is also a ring competition area, and a stepped stand is also built around it, which is convenient for the monks who come to watch the game.

Around the test venue, the rest areas of the six colleges were temporarily set up. Distributed in a hexagonal shape, a large flag is erected in front of each area, on which is the name of the participating college.

At this time, three of the six major academies were already present, namely Tianji Academy, Canglang Academy, Luotian Academy, Nangong Academy, and Yunlan Academy, and the disciples had not yet come. The head of the academy led everyone to sit down under the banner of the Famous Sword Academy.

Cheng Ling raised his eyes and saw that among the four major academies present, Tianji Academy had the largest number of disciples, with hundreds, while Canglang Academy and Luotian Academy had less than a hundred.

He said to the sword hero next to him: "Brother Sword, the number of disciples coming from the major academies is too different, so it seems unfair to fight in a group!"

Jian Yinghao explained: "Brother Cheng doesn't know, the number of disciples who can play in group battles is limited to fifty, and no matter how many people there are, it is in vain. Moreover, the Western Yunlan Academy is far away from the Jade Capital City, and their disciples rarely come to the Jade Capital City, and the number has always been the smallest. ”

Cheng Ling suddenly asked, "How is the progress of the competition?"

"In order for the major academies to achieve the purpose of communicating with each other, they are all carried out one by one, and then several judges judge the merits, so the exchange meeting will be very long. The first competition is the Dan Fu Array, followed by three ring matches, and then there is the team competition, and the courtyard master competition is the last one. ”

Cheng Ling was clear, in this way, the time of the competition was indeed uncontrollable, especially the refining weapon and the formation path, which took more time. Often refining a material can take a good day's time, let alone the time to break the formation.

Another hour passed, and the crowd came six times in succession, and soon the stands around it were full. At this moment, a voice sounded in the square: "Nangong Academy and Yunlan Academy came to take the exam~!"
