Yun Yifan, Long Xiuyuan, and Luo Qiuyan walked into the main hall of the Yanwu Hall together, and saw that there were almost hundreds of disciples who were ready to participate in the big competition, standing in several rows in an orderly manner, waiting for the start of the lottery. The three of them arrived late, so they followed and stood in the last row.

Through the dense crowd in front of him, Yun Yifan saw at a glance the two vigorous and powerful characters hanging in the most conspicuous central position on the wall in front of the hall - "Heavenly Dao"!

"Heavenly Dao? Is this the ultimate goal of martial arts? However, this Heavenly Dao is easy to say, but how difficult it is to really achieve it! Exactly—how can we achieve such a realm as Heavenly Dao?" Yun Yifan couldn't help but think silently in his heart again, paused, and said again in his heart, "There is an ancient saying that there are clouds--human law and earth, earth law and heaven, heavenly law and Tao, and Taoism is natural! Am I really too persistent? Brother Xiuyuan may be right, maybe I let go of my arms and face it easily, and I will naturally break through- Didn't Dad just say it, ordinary or extraordinary, as long as you do your best to be worthy and have no regrets, the rest just go with the flow!"

Thinking like this in his heart, Yun Yifan also smiled comfortably.

"Senior Brother Yifan, Senior Brother Xiuyuan, Senior Sister Qiuyan. In the end, the four twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers who came to the Yanwu Hall also stood next to Yun Yifan and the three of them, and bowed to the three of them and greeted them softly.

Yun Yifan, Long Xiuyuan, and Luo Qiuyan nodded to the four teenagers with a smile, and bowed back.

"Three senior brothers and sisters, a few of us have limited skills and slow footsteps, so we have only arrived now, but I see why you have just arrived?" one of the gray-clothed young men asked softly at the three of them.

Listening to the question of the gray-clothed young man, Long Xiuyuan and Luo Qiuyan couldn't help but look at Yun Yifan. But I saw Yun Yifan smile slightly and said, "It's nothing, because some things have been delayed for a while." After a slight pause, he changed his words and said, "Senior Brother Guo Jin, I see that you have been working hard recently, I'm afraid you're about to enter the middle stage of the Initial Realm, right?"

When the gray-clothed young man Guo Jin heard this, he smiled a little shyly and said, "It's not the case—it's mainly because the five-year martial arts competition is approaching, although the martial arts of several of us are far from those of the senior brothers and sisters, but after all, we are all disciples of the Cloud Gate, so we have used more work than usual, even if we can't stand out in the big competition, we won't lose too badly." ”

"That's right!" Another green-shirted young man among the four teenagers sighed softly beside him, "Every time there is a big competition, you inner disciples and senior brothers and sisters are at least in the middle of the initial realm, and there are many masters in the late stage of the initial realm, and from time to time, there are even one or two super geniuses who are in the early and middle realms, and we, the outer disciples, are only in the early and middle stages of the initial realm, and there is no suspense at all." Like a few of us, we are all at the top of the early stage of the initial realm in the last year or two, and participating in this big competition is actually just a long insight. ”

"Senior Brother Chang Lin's words are wrong!" Long Xiuyuan laughed softly, "Whether it is the inner or outer door, they are all disciples of the Cloud Gate. The reason why our Qinling Cloud Gate was originally divided into inner and outer doors was because there were many disciples in the door, which was convenient for unified management and teaching students according to their aptitude; on the other hand, it was also to motivate us, hoping that our younger disciples could work harder and eventually achieve something in martial arts. You know, just a few days ago, I was an outer disciple, and as long as you can continue to work tirelessly, I believe that one day you will be able to achieve something. ”

"Senior Brother Xiuyuan is reasonable!" Guo Jin nodded with a serious smile on his face, and said softly, "We will definitely work hard to live up to the prestige of our master!"

"There is also hard work, but my qualifications are too ordinary, I just reached the upper level of the early stage of the initial realm a year ago, and I don't know how many years it will take to reach the middle stage of the initial realm. Among the four teenagers, a blue-shirted young man who looked significantly thinner sighed.

"Lan Luo, don't be too discouraged. Another of the four teenagers, dressed in a fiery red shirt, pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly, "You see, first of all, your parents, Uncle Lan and his wife, although they both reached the late stage of the initial realm before the age of twenty, but they both reached the final stage of the initial realm before the age of forty, but they both reached the perfection of the initial realm before the age of forty, maybe you have similar potential!"

"Again, you were born today--what day is today? This is the day when our Qinling Yunmen Founding Patriarch flew away through the Heavenly Dao four hundred years ago, it is said that the ancestor master and his old man understood the Heavenly Dao at the time of Yinzheng, if I remember correctly, you also happened to be born at the time of Yinzheng——

"How can you say that such a coincidence happened? This must be an omen, and a good omen—it must indicate that you will have an extraordinary martial arts path!"

"Really?" the blue-shirted young man, who looked a little skinny, asked softly, scratching his head.

"Geng Lie, don't you want to laugh at Lan Luo like this anymore. Chang Lin, a young man in a green shirt, reached out and patted the shoulder of the young man in a fiery red shirt, and said softly. After speaking, I saw that he also pursed his lips and smiled.

"You-" Lan Luo listened to Chang Lin's words, and couldn't help but look straight at Geng Lie, the young man in a fiery red shirt, and asked softly and suspiciously.

"Chang Lin, don't talk nonsense, I'm not joking!" Geng Lie said softly as he casually pushed away Chang Lin's hand that was still on his shoulder, and then whispered to Lan Luo with a serious face, "Lan Luo, what I said is true, anyway, I just have an intuition, you will never go down so ordinarily all the time!"

"I also think that Geng Lie's words do seem to have some truth. Guo Jin also echoed softly on the side.

"Okay, don't discuss it for a few juniors, the elders and worshippers have already arrived, I'm afraid it's time to draw lots. Without waiting for the four teenagers to continue to talk softly, Long Xiuyuan reminded softly on the side.

At this time, I saw that at the front of the hall that was still empty, Yun Yitian, who was wearing a moon-white robe, had already stood up under the "Heavenly Dao", and a large mahogany box was placed in front of him, boxy, and only a small hole was opened on the upper side that only allowed one arm to stretch into. Fifth Elder Yun Yuqian and Sixth Elder Yun Yuhui sat on the left side of Yun Yitian, and Seventh Elder Yun Yuhui and Eighth Elder Yun Yuxiu sat on the right side of Yun Yitian.

On the east side of the hall, on the table and chairs that were still empty, Long Wensheng, who was dressed in a black robe with a rolling gold dragon pattern embroidered on the cuffs, and Yun Qinghe, who was dressed in a white robe, sat there without knowing when they had prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and the five worshippers who were traveling with the four elders sat behind the two of them.

Yun Yitian smiled like a spring breeze, full of energy, I saw him look at the four elders on his left and right, and saw that the four elders nodded slightly, and he raised his voice and said: "The lottery is about to start, please be quiet—"

Seeing that Yun Yitian and the four elders had already come in front of everyone, the one hundred and eight junior disciples of the Cloud Sect who were waiting and talking softly had already begun to silence one after another, and when they heard Yun Yitian's voice, the hall of the Yanwu Hall was suddenly quiet.

Yun looked around one day at a time, and then slowly spoke: "The one hundred and eight participants of this year's martial arts competition have now arrived, and then we are officially ready to start drawing lots and grouping.

"In this mahogany box in front of me, there are a total of one hundred and eight wax pills, each of which contains a note, on which are written numbers from one to one hundred and eight, after the lottery is completed, the number will be compared, one to one hundred and eight, two to one hundred and seven, three to one hundred and six, four to one hundred and five......

And so on, and in the second round, the winner of number 1 and 108 is the winner of number 2 and number 107, and the winner of number 3 and number 106 is the winner of number 4 and number 100......

And so on until the final battle. Do you understand?"

The Cloud Gate disciples standing below were silent for a while, and suddenly someone said loudly: "May I ask the offering, if this is the case, there will definitely be people who have a bye, so what should I do?"

Yun Yitian seemed to have been prepared for this question, smiled slightly, and said: "There are a total of one hundred and eight participants in the competition this time, so there will be one bye in the third round, and those who have a bye in this round can directly enter the next round of the competition."

"Then in the fifth round, one more person will have a bye, and this one will have to play against the other three losers in pairs until the fourth person in the top four is determined. After the sixth round of two-on-two competition, the winning duo entered the seventh round for the final competition to determine the first place.

"During the big competition, there is a competition every half day, and the start time of the competition is scheduled in the morning and the beginning of the afternoon. This afternoon, it will officially start and last until the first five rounds are completely completed in the morning of the sixth day to determine the top four, followed by the sixth round in the afternoon to determine the top two, and until the final seventh day, the seventh round will determine the final winner, and then the rewards will be distributed uniformly. ”

After speaking, Yun Yitian looked around and saw that no one asked, so he continued: "Next, the people whose names I read come over in turn to draw wax pills, and then go to this side of the hall to register in turn, and then post them on the red list later, and you will know who your opponent is."

"Those who have registered can leave first and prepare for the next competition - from the beginning of this afternoon, the competition will officially start in the back martial arts arena.

"The first round of the competition is divided into 54 groups, each of which is 18 groups, and it will end tomorrow afternoon. At the beginning of the morning, before the beginning of the afternoon, the bell rings three times for the order, and the competition will officially start immediately after the three bells ring, if there is no attendance within a moment, it will be regarded as automatic abstention, so please be sure to arrive on time. ”

"Yes!" the one hundred and eight Cloud Sect disciples replied in unison.

"Okay, let's start the lottery now!" Yun Yitian nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and then saw him take out a piece of red paper from his arms, look at it, and start reading in a loud voice, "Yun Yiyang-"

"Here!" a white-clothed boy standing in the middle of the first row who looked to be about twenty percent of his voice stepped out, strode over to the mahogany box, pulled out a wax pill with his hand, and then walked towards the east side of the hall.

"Yun Yidong—" Yun Yitian continued.

"Here!" another young man in a green shirt standing in the second row, who looked to be about twenty years old, came to the mahogany box, quickly pulled out a wax pill, and then walked to the east side of the hall as well.

"Luo Qiuyun—"

"Long Xiuyan—"

"Zhang Jianghai—"

……

With Yun Tiantian's voice, one after another Cloud Gate disciples stepped forward to extract the wax pill, and then went to the east side of the hall to register. The age of the disciples who were called by name ranged from 20 years old at the beginning to 189 years old and then to 178 years old...... Smaller and smaller in turn......

After about an hour, the draw officially ended.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Brother Yifan, why do I feel that you don't seem to be the same?" Luo Qiuyan asked as she walked as she looked at Yun Yifan beside her, flashing her watery eyes.

"What's the difference?" Yun Yifan glanced back at Luo Qiuyan and asked with a smile, but he continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

Luo Qiuyan's eyes rolled, but he didn't stop at his feet, and said while walking forward unhurriedly: "I can't tell, but I just feel that something seems to be missing from you all of a sudden." ”

"What's missing?" Yun Yifan slammed his feet, and then his figure flickered, and he came to Luo Qiuyan five feet away from her, and smiled at her, "Qiuyan, you should take a good look, how can I miss something?"

The three of them were basically moving forward side by side, Long Xiuyuan was on the far left, Luo Qiuyan was in the center, and Yun Yifan was on the far right. At this moment, Yun Yifan suddenly turned around with the secret light body exercise "Chongyun Body Method" of Qinling Cloud Gate, which made Luo Qiuyan startled and quickly stopped.

"I hate it, it's scary!" Luo Qiuyan covered his chest and glanced at Yun Yifan.

Yun Yifan only smiled slightly, turned around in place, and continued: "Qiu Yan, you should tell me, what am I missing?"

"In my opinion, Yifan is not missing something. Long Xiuyuan just stopped with Luo Qiuyan, looked at Yun Yifan with a smile in his eyes, and then said to Luo Qiuyan beside him.

"Brother Xiuyuan, can you tell me, what is missing from Brother Yifan?" Luo Qiuyan asked with flashing eyes.

Not far away, Yun Yifan also looked like he was listening.

Long Xiuyuan was about to speak, and inadvertently glanced not far ahead, and suddenly the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then smiled: "Yes, but the three of us will have a small competition first." ”

"Than what?" Luo Qiuyan asked casually.

Yun Yifan, who was not far away, also showed an interested look, and quietly looked at Long Xiuyuan.

"Let's see which of us climbs the big persimmon tree a hundred zhang away first!" Long Xiuyuan pointed to a big persimmon tree seven or eight zhang high on the side of the road a hundred zhang away in front of him, and before the words fell, his body had already jumped out.

Luo Qiuyan saw that Long Xiuyuan was taking the lead in leaping on his own, and couldn't help but shout: "You are cheating!"

When Yun Yifan heard Long Xiuyuan's words, he just turned his head and looked at his hand, but unexpectedly, Long Xiuyuan moved first, and then Luo Qiuyan flew up.

Long Xiuyuan's cultivation was just a few days ago to break through to the late stage of the initial realm, and his skill was already one level higher than the two of them, and he crossed a small realm, and he also directly launched the "Chongyun Body Method" under the intentional competition, and one of his vertical leaps was a few feet above the ground, leaping past Yun Yifan, and landing was already three zhang away.

Luo Qiuyan's cultivation had also reached the upper level of the middle stage of the initial realm, and her reaction was quite timely, and she immediately used the "Cloud Rushing Body Method" to leap up - her leap was seven or eight feet high, and she was actually ready to leap directly above Yun Yifan's head.

However, Yun Yifan's reaction was not slow - although he was leaped by Long Xiuyuan because of the time difference, but just when Luo Qiuyan just flew up, he also leaned back, his feet slid on the ground, and the whole person was already moving backwards backwards on his back!

When he shot diagonally a distance of one or two zhang, Yun Yifan took advantage of the situation to flip a somersault in mid-air, and after his body continued to move forward for more than a zhang, he happened to land with his feet firmly on the ground.

At this time, Long Xiuyuan had already flown up again after landing for the first time, and he just flew out less than two feet. Originally, Yun Yifan was five feet ahead of Long Xiuyuan, Yun Yifan first moved Zhang Xu behind his back, and then flew three feet, so at this time, he was about three feet behind Long Xiuyuan.

At the end, Luo Qiuyan had already jumped up again after the first leap of three zhang distance, but he had just moved forward five or six feet, so he was nearly one zhang behind Yun Yifan.

Yun Yifan smiled slightly, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he turned into a white shadow and shot out obliquely.

In this way, Long Xiuyuan was a few feet above the ground every time, jumping three feet, and hunting in the wind in black clothes, as if chasing the wind.

And Luo Qiuyan except for the first vertical jump, which was originally intended to jump directly from the top of Yun Yifan's head, so it was slightly higher from the ground, and the distance reached three zhang away, but the next one was only two or three feet above the ground, and the vertical leap was about two zhang or more, and the light green Luo skirt swayed in the wind, just like a green butterfly flying.

Only Yun Yifan, who was always incarnated as a white shadow, shot out obliquely, and then landed three zhang away after a somersault. Moreover, when his cultivation was one level lower than Long Xiu's distance and a small realm, Yun Yifan's speed seemed to be half a step faster than him.

Therefore, although Yun Yifan was three feet behind Long Xiu at the beginning, after seventy or eighty zhang, he had already caught up together, and only Luo Qiuyan was still one or two zhang away from the two, but he also followed closely.

Long Xiuyuan originally just flew forward concentratingly, but he didn't bother to look back at the two of them, but after being caught up by Yun Yifan, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart, and when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yun Yifan's figure, the originally calm smile on his face suddenly froze, and then he continued to smile, but he saw that there was a trace of essence in his black eyes compared to Fang Cai. I saw that after his feet hit the ground in the next moment, he did not jump up like before, but turned into a black shadow and shot out obliquely.

However, even if Long Xiuyuan changed to the same way and body as Yun Yifan, his speed could only barely be on par with it.

In a blink of an eye, another twenty zhang passed, and at this time, Long Xiuyuan and Yun Yifan were only six or seven zhang away from the big persimmon tree. However, because the persimmon tree grows in the north of the road, that is, on the right side of the two, it happens to be at a closer distance from Yun Yifan.

At this time, Long Xiuyuan's eyes couldn't help but start to flash a trace of anxiety. However, before he could think about it more, Yun Yifan, who landed on the ground almost at the same time as him, had already shot out obliquely before him.

Although there was only a trace of time, and it was almost negligible to even blink of an eye, Long Xiuyuan could really feel that Yun Yifan was indeed a little faster than himself.

Not only that, almost just the slightest, when Long Xiuyuan had already shot out diagonally again, he was surprised to find that this time Yun Yifan's flying body shot diagonally faster than just now.

Although Yun Yifan's increase in speed was not much, and it could even be said to be very small, Long Xiuyuan, who was just beside him, could indeed feel that his speed had increased significantly.

So, landing on the ground again, Yun Yifan, who was originally almost at the same time last time, was obviously a moment earlier than Long Xiuyuan. And when Long Xiuyuan shot out diagonally as soon as he landed on the ground, Yun Yifan had already flown out a foot ahead of him, and still maintained a slightly faster speed than Long Xiuyuan's oblique shot.
