(Thanks to "Momo", "Good Baby", "Rushui", "Tadpole", "Mousse", "Firmament", "Maoxiao", "Moye", "996", "Antique", "Tongye" and other generous tips!)
In August, the autumn is high and cool, and the sword competition will be opened outside the door of the Lingtai, which will become a major event.
The rules stipulate that those who finally enter the top three will be directly promoted to the inner gate, and the fourth to tenth place, if they perform well and reach the cultivation standard, they will also have the opportunity to become inner disciples.
In the sword competition, with the left spirit peak and the right platform peak as the unit, the left and right peaks will be pre-selected first, and ten representative disciples will be selected each, and then the final competition will be conducted.
To a certain extent, this will be equivalent to the competition between the Left Spirit Peak and the Right Taiwan Peak. Whichever side gets the most places in the inner door in the end, that side is the winner this year.
In the past three years, Youtaifeng's skills have been superior, overpowering Zuo Lingfeng.
This year is a bit special, because the main peak of the left Ling Peak, Jiang Shang Han, has been abolished, and the main peak of the Right Peak, Fang Xiafeng, is out of the house and cannot rush back.
Therefore, the two peak masters will be absent, and they will be replaced by Elder Wushanyun and Gou Xiuzheng respectively.
As early as ten days ago, the pre-selection of the two peaks began in full swing, and many outer disciples could sign up independently.
In principle, the sword contest will be open to any outer disciples. However, if you don't get started for a long time and don't reach a certain level of cultivation, you basically don't come to participate. Below the exorcism, there is no point in taking the stage. It's better to keep training hard and come back next year.
There are also some who have participated in it for several years, but they have never won a good ranking, and their cultivation has not increased much, and they are basically too lazy to go on stage.
Screening out this batch, there are still more than 100 people from each peak participating in the pre-selection, and the match is played by lottery.
Many outer disciples live in the mountains, take classes together every day, practice swords together, in fact, most of them know the roots, who is more powerful, who has hope to enter the list of ten representatives, and they know in their hearts.
Of course, after taking the stage, the impromptu performance is also an unexpected factor.
Overall, there are not many variables.
Xu Jun signed up for this year's Zuo Lingfeng preliminaries, she has not long been promoted to the exorcism realm, and in terms of cultivation, she belongs to the low category.
Many people think that Xu Jun's appearance on stage is just to exercise himself and accumulate practical experience, and they are not optimistic about her competition prospects.
In the first game, the opponent Xu Jun drew was called "Lin Yi", who had been learning swords for many years and was in the middle of the exorcism realm. Its qualifications are medium, it is hard work, and its foundation is solid.
Facing the famous beautiful junior sister in the door, this Lin Yi was in a happy mood: "Senior Sister Xu, it is really a blessing to compete with you in three lives." ”
Xu Jun saluted with a sword: "Senior brother, please!"
Lin Yi smiled: "Senior sister, please first!"
Xu Jun was not polite and attacked with a sword.
"Lingtai Seventy-two Styles" is a must-learn for the outer door, this set of swordsmanship moves is numerous, if you want to practice, it takes a year or two of hard work to do it, and if you want to exert all the power, you can't do it without three or five years of work.
How long has Xu Jun been in business?
To this day, she has only mastered the first twelve sword moves.
On the other hand, Lin Yi has been able to use the first thirty-six forms freely. He was polite and didn't want Xu Jun to lose ugly, so he closed it in the first few rounds and didn't exert much force.
"Phew!"
Xu Jun's eighth move was used, and the sword light was Huohuo.
For this move "Flying Bird Throwing into the Forest", Lin Yi couldn't be more familiar, he could catch the move routine with his eyes closed, and he didn't care much about it at the moment, and waved his sword to block it.
However, in the next moment, Xu Jun's swordsmanship changed, and it was extremely subtle.
"Ahh
Lin Yi screamed loudly, his right wrist hurt, and he was actually hit by the blade of the sword, and with a clanging sound, the long sword fell to the ground.
Xu Jun put away his sword and clenched his fists: "Senior brother, I have conceded!"
Lin Yi still couldn't understand what was going on just now, but it was an indisputable fact that he was defeated, Xu Jun had already shown mercy to the sword, and the point would be stopped, otherwise, the wrist would be abolished.
He is not a person who can't afford to lose, and he said very gracefully: "Senior sister's swordsmanship is wonderful, I lost." ”
Simply jump off the stage.
Xu Jun won the first game, his face did not show much joy, and after stepping down, he saw Zhao Lingtai standing there, and walked over.
Zhao Lingtai seemed to smile: "The move just now is not "Lingtai Seventy-two Styles". ”
Xu Jun's cheeks flushed, and he lowered his voice: "After you left that day, I also dreamed that Master Zu appeared." ”
Zhao Lingtai smiled: "I didn't lie to you." ”
Being favored by Master Zu and teaching swordsmanship, Xu Jun was extremely excited and happy: "Thank you...... In fact, I have always wanted to go to you in the iron shop and say thank you......"
Zhao Lingtai waved his hand and interrupted: "This is your chance, you deserve it." ”
Xu Jun didn't think too much, and asked again: "What about you, you also got the fairy fate, why don't you sign up for the competition?"
Zhao Lingtai shrugged: "Do you think I have to do this?"
Xu Jun thought about it, and it was indeed so. Zhao Lingtai has Uncle Anu as a backer, where is it still used to compete for the quota of this inner disciple, just open your mouth, maybe the descendants can be the disciples.
In that case, there is a suspicion of going through the back door, and it is difficult to convince people.
"Well, I don't know if I can force him to move now?"
Suddenly, Xu Jun really wanted to practice with Zhao Lingtai again.
As a person who has been taught swordsmanship by his ancestor in his dream, in the girl's view, it is equivalent to having a common secret, which invisibly shortens the distance and feels close: "When, when will I ask you to practice swords?"
Zhao Lingtai asked, "Don't you have Xiao An?"
At the mention of Xiao An, Xu Jun's expression darkened: "She, she has already gone down the mountain." ”
In the end, the surviving friends of Dutou Town still chose to leave and return to their mundane home.
Zhao Lingtai nodded: "Actually, that's fine, it's equivalent to liberation." ”
Xu Jun said: "Yes, you are right, everyone has their own ambitions, and they should not be forced." ”
Zhao Lingtai smiled: "I'm glad you think so...... The matter of sword training, let's talk about it when you get the qualification of representative, I am very powerful now. ”
Xu Jun playfully stuck out his tongue: "Okay, you wait, I will definitely get the representative seat." ”
Next, Xu Jun played the second match, and won easily again, and then the third game......
After a wave of three consecutive wins, she became a dark horse, and if she won one more game, she could enter the list of ten-person representatives.
Xu Jun is graceful and charming, and he is the focus of the outer door, but now he has broken through with the posture of a dark horse, which has attracted countless attention. Every competition she participated in was the largest audience.
Many people watched, and some people slowly saw some clues, and felt that the "Seventy-two Styles of Lingtai" performed by Xu Jun was a bit wrong, which contained some wonderful changes, which were plausible, thus deviating from the original move routine.
"Seventy-two pieces of Lingtai" belongs to the basic must learn, a complete set down, a rigorous structure, one move and one style, all have a board and an eye, but it is determined by Lin Zhongliu and so on after several deliberations.
But under Xu Jun's cast, it seems that the moves have been changed, and the power has been doubled.
This is amazing!
So in the fourth game, Elder Wushanyun was alarmed and came to watch the battle in person, wanting to see what was going on.
