Chapter 42: Selection in the Door
Time flies, time flies, and it has been three years since Xue Ying left home.
"Knock~Knock~Knock~"
"All the disciples of the outer sect of the sect are gathered in the square!"
"Brother Yi, don't sleep anymore, the experiment was done for a long time yesterday, do you want to go to the square with me to see the excitement?"
The little ant was drowsy, yawned and said, "Okay, let's go together!"
At this time, the whole square was full of people, and everyone was in groups of three or five, discussing with each other what was going on. Xue Ying had no intention of participating in the inquiry, so she only stood in a secluded corner and waited for things to develop.
Soon, a long-haired old man in a white robe walked to the front of the stage, it was none other than Elder Wang, who was in charge of recruiting disciples that day and leading Xue Ying into the Meteor Sect.
"Quiet! The once-in-a-century sect competition will be held after March, when all the participating disciples of the immortal cultivation sect in the Yan Kingdom will gather in Penglai Immortal Island Cangyun Sect to participate in the competition.
The great competition of sects is a competition between the younger generation of the various immortal cultivation sects, the disciples of the Qi cultivation period, which is related to the ownership of cultivation resources for a hundred years, and its importance is self-evident. And our Meteor Sect has been ranked second for thousands of years, and I hope you can bring a breakthrough.
We will select three people from the sect to participate, first of all, no matter what your results are, you can get a Zhuji Dan, if you can win the first place in the big competition, so that the Meteor Sect becomes the first major sect in the Yan Kingdom, the door master will allow the three of you to enter the fourth floor of the library pavilion to choose a technique!"
In the end, Elder Wang became more and more impassioned, and the reward for entering the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion to select an exercise was too rich, which made him a little envious of him who had already successfully built the foundation.
The disciples in the audience were even more ecstatic, and everyone knew what the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion meant, and no one knew it. There are exercises that can be cultivated to the point of transforming into a god, infinitely close to the origin of the Great Dao.
Painstakingly entering the sect, everyone's goal is to one day turn into a god and become an immortal, and now the opportunity is in front of him, no one is willing to give up, and they are determined to win the three participation places.
"All the outer disciples of the Meteor Sect can participate in the selection, and a ring will be set up here at the same time tomorrow, and the specific promotion rules will be explained in detail at that time. Now you can sign up!"
As soon as the words fell, all the disciples flocked to sign up, competing to sign up, no matter who they were, they couldn't help but be tempted in the face of such a big temptation, and so did Xue Ying.
"First brother, I have now practiced Qi and the Great Perfection, and my foundation is very solid, I believe that as long as I have the Zhuji Dan, I can build the foundation smoothly. The exercises that can only be cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage are not what I want, and I must go to the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion, so I must seize this opportunity!"
"Xiaoying, I believe you, you are just too low-key, once you show up in front of people, you will definitely be able to blind their eyes, hehe!"
Xue Ying was amused and laughed, "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, it's not okay to be proud and complacent with a little achievement, but I will definitely do my best to do my best! Let's go and sign up first, and then take a good rest and adjust to the best state." ”
——
The next day, Elder Wang walked to the front of the stage under the long-awaited gaze of all the disciples, and said loudly, "Yesterday, a total of 2,986 outer disciples signed up for the selection, and I applaud everyone's courage!
Now the disciples who signed up for the selection stand on the round platform that has just been built in front of them, there is no time limit, any method, and the last fifty people who remain on the round platform will advance to the next round, let's start!"
2,986 disciples stood on the round platform at the same time, rubbing shoulders with each other, it was very crowded, and the monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation were connected to the low-level monks at the same time, and it didn't take much effort for the monks below the seventh level of Qi cultivation to be cleared out of the round platform. At this point, there were still more than 1,000 monks left on the round platform, and the venue was much more relaxed.
The rest of the monks quickly signed up for the group and formed an alliance with their usual companions and friends to unite with the outside world; some monks were accustomed to going alone, and for a while they faced the dilemma of having no team to enter; there were also some monks who had obviously been practicing qi for a long time and were also alone, but no one dared to provoke them; Xue Ying and Li Lei usually teamed up to do sect tasks, and formed a good friendship, and at this time they tacitly stood together back to back.
The monks who were weak and lone were eliminated first, and then the overall weak team was ousted one after another, and at this time there were only more than 100 people left in the field, all of whom were people with tacit understanding or strong strength, and the field was in a stalemate.
I don't know who shouted, "Let's work together to drive down the monks of the Great Perfection of Qi cultivation first, otherwise we will still be defeated by them even if we advance, this is the best chance!"
The field suddenly turned into a scene of a team of several people besieging the Great Perfection Cultivator, Xue Ying and Li Lei were not spared, there was a team of seven people in front of them, all of them were strong and muscular, and they could even feel the trembling of the round platform with every step.
"Fellow Daoist, they are the same physiognomy as me, but their strength is exposed, far less than mine, you deal with the three on the right, and the four on the left will be handed over to me!"
Xue Ying didn't respond, just nodded slightly, and directly stepped into the ethereal and disappeared to the three people on the right.
"What a big breath, I have the confidence that one is one against four, and the other is one against three, brothers, let them see the ability of our seven brothers!" The bodies of the seven people on the opposite side were their strongest killing moves, roaring and rushing over, and even causing air fluctuations, attracting many onlookers for a while.
"These seven people are one of the best squads in the rest of the team, they grew up together, they practiced the same exercises, and the seven of them have the same heart, even if both of them have the cultivation of Qi Cultivation and Great Perfection, I don't think they can survive to the end. ”
"Alas, I was also unlucky, and unfortunately stood next to the seven of them, and fell off the stage under a single blow. ”
"I think there might be a reversal, you see the two of them are so calm that they don't seem to pay attention to them at all. ”
"I think the two of them are scared silly, these seven people, I have heard of them, it is said that they only accept the highest paying sect tasks every time!"
......
The onlookers discussed a lot, and to everyone's amazement, Xue Ying approached the three people on the right and shouted "Golden Dragon", and there was really a golden dragon rushing out of thin air from the sword, and easily knocked the three of them off the round platform with an unstoppable momentum;
Li Lei changed into a giant twice as large as the original body, one punch, four punches out, and the abdomen of the four people opposite all fell under the stage. The seven of them didn't even touch the corners of Xue Ying and Li Lei's clothes, so they were knocked off the round platform, and the two of them were unscathed from beginning to end.
Most of the people on the stage were shocked to forget that they were fighting, and the seven of them came back to their senses after they got off the stage, and once again "ping pong" fought, but at the same time, they tacitly moved the battlefield away from Xue Ying and Li Lei, and did not dare to provoke them again.
However, there were two people who were never provoked by their side, and the two of them invariably observed Xue Ying and Li Lei, and already regarded them as their qualified opponents. They were none other than Ouyang Han, who started on the same day as Xue Ying, and Zhou Mingwen, the young patriarch of the Zhou family of the Yan State Xiuzhen clan;
The onlookers were shocked by the fact that the result was completely unexpected, and then cheered for the two of them;
Elder Wang was more than surprised, but also happy, and pondered in his heart: It seems that there are two dark horses this year, maybe this time the Meteor Sect can really surpass the Cangyun Sect!
In the end, Xue Ying, Li Lei, Ouyang Han, and Zhou Mingwen were promoted without any suspense, and the remaining 46 people who persevered to the end by forming a team.
Elder Wang walked to the front of the stage with a smile on his face, "This year's overall strength has risen a big step compared to previous years, and I am very confident that the Meteor Sect will win the first place this time." You can go back and rest now, and tomorrow we will have a second round of selection. ”
——
On the third day, a row of seats was set up in the center of the field, and in the center sat the Meteor Sect Master, who was already in the late Yuan Infant Stage, and the rest of the seats were the numerous Jindan Stage Elders on the major peaks in the Gate.
The sect master was the first to speak, "You can break into here, you have already proved your fighting strength, your determination to cultivate immortals, I hereby promise that the 25 people who advance after the first ring can participate in the chain trial, and the chain trial will be very beneficial to the growth of your strength."
All the Jindan elders present will select your favorite disciples based on your performance in the ring, and I hope you can show your strength well. Next, let Elder Wang explain the rules of the game. ”
Elder Wang bowed to the sect before he spoke, "After listening to the sect master's speech, I believe that the 50 people who have advanced have been eager to try, and I will now introduce the rules of the game to you: There are a total of 25 rings in this field, from the southernmost No. 1 to the northernmost No. 25, and the 50 people who will advance in a while will draw numbers to choose the ring, and compete in groups of two.
The 25 people who were promoted continued to draw numbers 1-13, and the disciples who drew 13 had a bye and were directly promoted;
The 7 people who were promoted continued to draw numbers 1-4, and the disciples who drew 4 had a bye and were directly promoted;
The 4 people who advanced continued to draw the numbers 1-2, in pairs of two, the winners of the two games decided the first place, and the losers of the two games decided the third place.
Now you can go and draw numbers, the game is very fair, everyone has equal chances, and you know that luck is also part of strength. ”
The 50 people who advanced to the stage had already stood in their respective positions, and many disciples outside the arena came to watch.
"Defeating the ring, admitting defeat and death are defeats, I announce the official start of the second round of auditions!"
Xue Ying due to her amazing performance in the last game, there were many disciples around her, in order to accumulate energy for more games in the future, she did not have the idea of consuming spiritual power with the other party, so she made an ethereal appearance, coupled with the bonus of the speed of the Fengyun Sword, when the opponent was still making a move, she kicked it out of the ring.
The surrounding disciples were surprised and applauded, and she was engrossed in the competition between Ouyang Han and Zhou Mingwen, knowing herself and the enemy, and she would not be defeated in a hundred battles.
"This disciple's speed has to be amazing!"
"But she finished the fight so quickly, and it's hard for us to see what else she is capable of. Perhaps she only has the advantage of speed to take her opponent out of the ring by surprise while she is still making a move. ”
"You have a point, you still have to watch her next performance to make a conclusion. ”
