In the council hall of Chaoyang Palace in Danxia Mountain, an old man in a gray robe sat on the main seat of the council hall. Below him sat six men and eight women. This gray-robed old man is the Danxia Sect's Yangyuanmen Sect Master Jiehu Zhenren, the six men are the six apprentices under him, and the eight women are the eight fifth-generation disciples of the Chaoyang Sect. The head of the Danxia faction, Tianxia Fairy, had been in retreat and cultivation eight years ago, waiting for the final breakthrough. Before his retreat, he had already handed over the affairs of the Danxia Sect to his disciple Rumei and his junior disciple Jiehu Zhenren.

Jiehu Zhenren looked at everyone and said, "Gathering everyone together today is to discuss the disciple ranking tournament that will be held soon. Now, after years of continuous growth, my Danxia Sect has nearly one hundred and fifty disciples in six generations. Among them came quite a few geniuses. This disciple ranking tournament is the best opportunity to test the true strength of these sixth-generation disciples. According to the rules of the disciple ranking competition, today we will first decide the strongest in the ring. Rumei, Long Sheng, you will each introduce the situation of the six generations of disciples in Chaoyang Gate and Yangyuan Gate!"

Rumei sat on the right side of Jiehu, and when she heard the words, she responded: "Yes, Uncle Shi." There are a total of 85 disciples of six generations in my Chaoyang Sect. Up to now, 20 of these sixth-generation disciples have been cultivated in a targeted manner, and 6 of these 20 disciples have broken through to the realm of convergence streams. There is a disciple who has cultivated to the eighth level of the Danxia Mind Method. ”

With Rumei's introduction, the five generations of disciples present all let out a cry of surprise. You must know that after cultivating to the realm of converging streams, the breakthrough of the mental method becomes very difficult. Among these five generations of disciples, there are still 2 people who are still at the sixth layer of Danxia Mental Method, 7 people from the seventh layer of Danxia Mental Method, only 4 people from the eighth layer of Danxia Mental Method, and only 1 person who has reached the ninth layer of Danxia Mental Method. Breaking through the ninth layer of the Danxia Mental Method will reach the Jiedan realm, and reaching the Jiedan realm is to soar to another world. You must know that the oldest of these six generations of disciples is only in his thirties. In his thirties, he reached the eighth layer of Danxia's mental method, which is also a very high talent.

Jiehu was also very curious when he heard this: "The eighth layer of Danxia's mental method, I don't know how old this disciple is?"

Rumei replied: "18 years old!"

Jiehu replied: "18 years old?

Rumei replied, "Well, it's her!"

"At the age of 18, you have reached the eighth layer of Danxia Mental Method!" for a while, there was a discussion among the five generations of disciples. The dialogue between Jiehu and Rumei made the other five generations of disciples even more confused. But reaching the eighth layer of Danxia at the age of 18 shocked them too much. For a while, they whispered at the bottom.

Jiehu and Rumei didn't care about other people's discussions. It seems to be deliberately avoiding this problem. Jiehu said to Long Sheng, "How is the situation of our six generations of disciples of Yangyuan Sect?"

Long Sheng continued: "There are a total of 57 disciples of six generations in Yangyuan Sect, and there are 5 people who have reached the realm of gathering streams. One of the disciples had reached the seventh level of the Danxia Mind Method. "These five Yangyuan Sect disciples who have reached the realm of gathering streams naturally did not count Lu Ping in it. Due to Jiang Yu's negligence, no one in the Danxia faction knew that Lu Ping had reached the realm of converging streams.

After listening to Long Sheng's introduction, Jiehu was happy: "I didn't expect that there would be eleven strong people in the six generations of disciples now. Haha, sooner or later, my Danxia Sect will be able to occupy a place in the rivers and lakes! The Danxia Disciple Ranking Tournament has set up ten rings this time, and according to the rules, the ten strongest disciples of our sect need to be placed in these ten ring groups respectively. to avoid them meeting in the early competition. Now that there are eleven gathering powerhouses, there must be two gathering powerhouses in a ring group. Now Rumei, Longsheng, you each have to make sure that a gathering powerhouse will come in this ring group!"

Na Rumei replied after Jiehu finished speaking: "Senior uncle, my Chaoyangmen will be joined by my disciple Yuan Yuan in this ring group!"

Jiehu nodded slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Long Sheng again.

That Long Sheng looked at Jiang Yu and said to Jiang Yu: "Senior Brother Jiang, there are already two disciples under your Yangyuan Sect who have reached the Gathering Flow Realm. Why don't you let one of your disciples come out of this ring group?"

Jiang Yu didn't shy away either: "I have no opinion, just let my subordinate Xu Jiagu join this ring group!"

When Jiehu heard this, he smiled and said: "In this way, the strong man in the ring will be determined, and the specific list of personnel in each ring group will be determined by Rumei and Long Sheng!"

Rumei and Long Sheng both responded.

Jiehu went on to speak: "The rewards for this disciple ranking tournament have also been determined. The first place in the disciple ranking competition will get the Qiuyue Sword left by the fourth-generation head of my Danxia faction, Qiuyue Zhenren. ”

"The Qiuyue Sword !! turned out to be the Qiuyue Sword!" for a while, all the disciples of the five generations were discussing.

"Legend has it that this Qiuyue Sword is a spirit weapon left by the previous generation of leaders. It is said that after reaching the realm of the Jie Dan, Qiu Yue Zhenren injected this sword with the energy in his body and kept it as one of the Zhen Sect spirit weapons of my Danxia Sect?

The weapons of the cultivation realm are divided into treasures, spiritual weapons, immortal weapons, artifacts, and Taoist weapons. For the earth, an ordinary material interface, there are basically only treasures and low-level spiritual weapons. Treasure weapons are naturally weapons that are relatively sharp or have high offensive power forged from the materials of the earth. On the other hand, a spiritual weapon is a weapon in which a cultivator who has reached the level of convergence above injects the energy in his body into the weapon, making it have more power than ordinary physical attacks. The cultivators of the Convergence Realm have already cultivated the True Qi in their bodies to the liquid energy, and it is precisely because it is liquid energy that they can store the energy in the weapon through a certain method. And such a weapon is used in the hands of ordinary people, because there is liquid energy stored in it, so the attack power is much more powerful than ordinary treasure weapons. Of course, cultivators in the Convergence Realm can use spiritual weapons to continuously inject the liquid energy in their bodies into the spiritual weapons, so as to truly exert the effect of spiritual weapons. Reaching the realm of converging is also the basic condition for using spiritual weapons.

There are also differences in spiritual weapons, and the power of spiritual weapons refined by people in different cultivation realms is naturally different. Cultivators on the earth are generally people below the Jiedan realm, so the spiritual weapons left behind by the cultivators of the Jiedan realm are very precious to an ordinary sect. The Qiuyue Sword is such a spiritual weapon, it is a spiritual weapon-level sword specially refined by the sect after the Qiuyue Zhenren reached the realm of Jiedan, using the time before ascending to the Peerless Star.

Of course, the spiritual weapons that exist on the earth are basically low-level spiritual weapons, and high-level spiritual weapons are spiritual weapons with consciousness. It is a weapon that can be integrated into the consciousness of the owner of the spirit weapon and the energy in the body. And such a spiritual weapon can only be refined by attaining a realm above the Dan realm.

Jiehu faced Long Sheng: "Yes, the town faction spirit weapon, it must also be used by someone to call the town faction spirit weapon." Using this spiritual artifact as a reward for the first place in the disciple ranking competition is also the meaning of the head of the sect, Senior Sister Tianxia. After everyone's discussion subsided, Jiehu continued: "The reward for the second place is also a spiritual weapon, which is the Tiger Spirit Sword I refined. The third place winner is awarded two Caixia Dan. ”

Jiehu is a powerhouse of the ninth layer of Danxia's heart method, and he is only a thought away from breaking through. At the same time, he is also a relatively powerful array master. The spiritual weapon refined by such a gathering powerhouse is naturally not trivial. And the Danxia Sect Caixia Pill is also very attractive to Danxia disciples, generally the Caixia Pill is only awarded to those who have made great contributions to the sect, and this time the third place can have two Caixia Pills. For a while, the disciples of each of the five generations became excited. After all, among the six generations of disciples, there is a strong man at the eighth layer of the Danxia Heart Method, and a strong person at the seventh layer of the Danxia Heart Method, while the other powerhouses are only the sixth layer of the Danxia Heart Method. In this way, the variables of the third place are very large, and the disciples of each five generations all attach great importance to this Caixia Dan, and naturally hope that the Caixia Pill can fall into the hands of their own disciples.

In less than a day, the content of the disciple ranking tournament meeting spread to all corners of the Danxia Sect. At the same time, the legend of the powerful figure among the six generations of disciples has also been passed down in several versions.

Danxia is an eighth-layer powerhouse, a disciple of Chaoyangmen, the specific name is unknown, 18 years old, and he is good at kung fu is unknown.

Danxia is a seventh-layer powerhouse, Lin Xuan, a disciple of Yangyuanmen Longsheng, 29 years old, the most powerful kung fu whirling sun swordsmanship.

Yang Yuan Menjielong, 19 years old. Jiehu's grandson, the son of Huang Jing, a disciple of Jiewei and Chaoyangmen. Danxia is a sixth-layer powerhouse, and it is said that he has mastered Danxia's stunt stabbing the sun.

••••••

In these rumors, there is information about the strong who gather the current. As for Lu Pinghe, who has already reached the convergence stream, and Lu Shao, who has no less strength than Danxia's seventh-layer mental method, no one mentions it.

A few days later, the six generations of Danxia disciples received a notice of the competition process and rules of the Danxia Disciple Ranking Competition.

The disciple ranking competition is divided into ten ring groups, with a total of 142 disciples of the six generations of Chaoyangmen and Yangyuanmen. Except for the No. 1 ring group with 16 people, the rest of the ring groups have 14 people each. The competition of each ring group is matched according to the number of people, and the battle method is adopted until the first place in the ring is produced. That is, in the No. 1 ring group, 16 people are divided into 8 groups, and they compete separately, and the winner eliminates the loser. Then follow this method 8 into 4, 4 into 2, and then 2 into 1. Of course, the 14-person ring group has 14 into 7, one of the 7 people has a bye, and the remaining 6 people win 3 people, and then these 3 people and 1 person with a bye form 4 people, 4 into 2, 2 into 1. Ten ring groups produce 10 ring winners. These 10 people will then play against each other to produce 5 winners. The competition arrangement of the last 5 winners is different, and 2 of the 5 winners are selected by lottery, and the winner advances to the top three. The loser is divided into two groups with the other 3 people, and the winner eliminates the loser. In this way, the top three powerhouses are produced. These three powerhouses will play in pairs, and the specific ranking order will be determined according to the battle situation.

With the release of the process arrangement, the specific list of each ring group was also announced. The arrangement of this list was determined by Long Sheng and Rumei after consultation. The two arranged the specific personnel of each ring group according to the proportion of the number of people in Chaoyang Gate and Yangyuan Gate, and at the same time arranged the disciples of the same division in each ring group as much as possible. In this list, Lu Ping was arranged in the No. 9 ring group, and this ring group also had the only Danxia seven-layer heart method powerhouse, Lin Xuan. Lu Shao was arranged in the No. 5 ring group, and the strong man in this ring group was Yang Yuanmen Huo Zhishan.

When the six generations of disciples of the Danxia Sect were all excited about the upcoming Danxia Disciple Ranking Competition, only the Punishment Peak, which was still blowing a biting cold wind, seemed extremely deserted. At this time, Lu Ping was quietly perceiving the changes in the energy in his body, constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth aura.

In this short period of time, Lu Ping has basically mastered the first eight moves of the Thunder Boxing Method, and after reaching the realm of convergence, the power of Lu Ping's Thunder Boxing has also been greatly improved. At the same time, the cross-cutting sword technique taught by Jiang Yu also won Lu Ping's love. This horizontal swordsmanship, one move and one style, is clean and neat, extremely powerful, and very suitable for Lu Ping's temper. In this swordsmanship, Lu Ping didn't put much effort into it, and he basically mastered the essence.

While meditating and practicing on Luping, a young man climbed to the top of the Punishment Peak. This person is Jiang Yu's eighth disciple Chen Xun. Chen Xun walked familiarly towards the place where Lu Ping was meditating. For Lu Ping, the junior brother, this Chen Xun also takes great care of him, and every time he comes, in addition to sending dry food and drinking water, he often brings some soju and delicacies to Lu Ping's hunger. Every two or three days, he would go up the mountain to deliver dry food and drinking water to Luping. Every time he came, he sat with Lu Ping for a while, and told Lu Ping about some big and small things that happened in the sect. Occasionally, he also spread oral messages between Lu Ping and Xiao Ling.

This time, Chen Xun ran to Lu Ping with his empty hands and smiled at Lu Ping: "Senior Brother Jiu, the master asked me to take you down the mountain." Hehe, the Danxia disciple ranking competition is about to start, and the master said that you should end the punishment early and participate in the competition. ”

Lu Ping was happy when he heard this: "You can go down the mountain!" Hehe, Eighth Senior Brother, thanks to you for taking care of you for most of the past half a year. ”

Chen Xun replied: "My own junior brother, you don't have to be polite. The master and the other brothers are still waiting for us in the precept room! Let's go down the mountain. The master wants to tell us about this disciple ranking competition. ”

Lu Ping responded and followed Chen Xun towards the bottom of the mountain.

In the discipline room of the Punishment Academy, Jiang Yu looked at the nine disciples in front of him. Among the nine disciples, Lu Ping was the youngest, and this was the second time he had gotten together with all the senior brothers since he had apprenticed.

Jiang Yu looked at the eldest disciple Guan Xue: "Guan Xue, you will read the rules of this disciple ranking competition and the ring group to which you belong to all your junior disciples." ”

After answering the question, he took out a booklet. He read it to everyone. After reading the rules of the game. and read out the ring group to which each of the nine people belonged: "Xu Jiagu No. 1 Ring Group, Guan Blood No. 2 Ring Group, Liu Quan No. 3 Ring Group, Sun Ye No. 4 Ring Group, Jiang Hui No. 5 Ring Group, Zhang Xiezhen No. 6 Ring Group, Yang Chengyu No. 7 Ring Group, Chen Xun No. 8 Ring Group, Lu Ping No. 9 Ring Group." ”

After finishing the blood management, Jiang Yu continued: "I think you all know the rewards of this disciple ranking competition. The reward for the third place is two Caixia Pills, which are of great benefit to those of us who cultivate the Danxia Mental Method. This time, there are also strong people in the competition, and there are people who have reached the eighth layer of Danxia and the seventh layer of the heart method. But I also have two strong people in the Correctional Yuan, and we hope a lot for the reward for this third place. Boss and Fourth, I hope you will show your true strength in this competition. Won a lot of honors for my correctional institution. After speaking, he looked at Guan Xue and Xu Jiagu, his eyes were full of encouragement.

Guan Xue and Xu Jiagu were both shocked under Jiang Yu's eyes, and continued: "Master rest assured, the disciples will definitely do their best to win the title of third place." "After all, there are strong people who have reached the eighth and seventh layers of Danxia's mental method. The first and second place players who competed for the sixth-layer mental method did not have much hope.

Jiang Yu waited for the two of them to finish answering, and then turned his head to look at Lu Ping and Chen Xun: "Eighth and ninth, you two are late. The strength is relatively weak. Lao Ba's group has Jielong, the strongest of the six-layer mental powerhouses, and Lao Jiu's group has Lin Xuan, a seven-layer mental method powerhouse. In the competition, you are at a disadvantage. But I also want you to bring out the best you can do. Even if you lose, you will lose beautifully, and you will come out with the prestige of my punishment house. ”

Chen Xun and Lu Ping should claim to be when they hear this.

Jiang Yu waited for the two to agree, and said to Lu Ping: "Lao Jiu, you enter my door." As soon as he came, he was punished. So far, the master has not given you good guidance and help. The disciple ranking tournament is coming. You can go to the armory with Lao Ba later, and take advantage of the weapons!"

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he returned to his serious and indifferent expression. looked at everyone: "My punishment peak has always been righteous and backbone in the Danxia faction. This disciple ranking competition is not only a test of your strength, but also an opportunity to test your integrity. Remember, you can't lose your integrity. ”

Seeing the Master's serious eyes, the nine replied in unison, "Yes." ”

After Jiang Yu glanced at everyone again, he said, "That's it, let's disperse!" Chen Xun, arrange a place for Lao Jiu to live, and then take him to the armory to pick up weapons!"

At that moment, the nine people retreated outside the house, and Lu Ping followed Chen Xun to the accommodation area. Lu Ping's room was next to Chen Xun. At that moment, the two of them cleaned up the room briefly, and when it was over. Chen Xun took Lu Ping to the armory of the Punishment House again.

The Danxia faction is basically based on swordsmanship and boxing, and the weapons in the arsenal of this punishment courtyard are basically swords. But behold, all sorts of swords filled the whole room. Since Lu Ping practiced martial arts, he has never had a weapon at his disposal. Suddenly seeing so many swords in front of his eyes, he was also extremely excited.

This arsenal is also full of treasure-level weapons, and these weapons are arranged by type and material. Chen Xun took Lu Ping to pick it up carefully.

This Chen Xun took out a cyan long sword from the arsenal and handed it to Lu Ping: "Ninth Senior Brother, this arsenal is basically taken care of by me. I know all about the weapons in it. What do you think of this weapon?"

Lu Ping smiled: "Hehe, with the eighth senior brother here, I can take a big advantage." Lu Ping took the cyan sword and pulled it out. But seeing that the sword body is extremely thin, the blade is emitting cold light, and it is extremely sharp. Lu Ping took the sword and swung it in the air a few times. said: "It's a good sword, it's sharp, it's not enough weight." Eighth Senior Brother, this sword is too light. I want to put the heavy sword. ”

Danxia's swordsmanship is basically based on light and spirit, and Danxia's disciples also like light and sharp swords when choosing swords. Hearing that Lu Ping was going to pick up a heavy sword, Chen Xun was also stunned: "Heavy sword? hehe, ninth junior brother." You've thought it through. My Danxia swordsmanship is flexible and changeable, can you pick a heavy sword?"

Lu Ping smiled: "Eighth Senior Brother, you can rest assured." I pay attention to the feeling when looking for a sword, there is no weight, and I can't use it in my heart. Pick out the heaviest sword for me!"

Hearing this, Chen Xun took Lu Ping to a corner. I saw a few long swords scattered in the corner, and the blades were relatively thick. Chen Xun said in his mouth: "The heaviest sword! If you want to say the heaviest, it should be counted as this sword." As he spoke, Chen Xun pointed to the only sword in the corner that lay flat on the ground.

Lu Ping looked, but saw a long sword fall to the ground, and the sword was covered with dust. Lu Ping lifted the sword and shook it vigorously. The dust cleared, revealing the black blade. At that moment, he swung his sword in the air again. A smile appeared on Lu Ping's face: "I want this kind of down-to-earth feeling, Eighth Senior Brother, I want this sword!"

Chen Xun was very surprised when he saw Lu Ping wielding this heavy sword easily: "This sword is enough to weigh two hundred catties, I didn't expect it to become so flexible in your hands, junior brother." Hehe, Ninth Senior Brother, I can't see that you still have such strength. ”

Lu Ping smiled, in the past half a year, at the peak of punishment, Lu Ping has practiced every day, and his body has become extremely strong, and his strength has also increased a lot. Compared with carrying a boulder every day, lifting this heavy sword feels much easier.
