26. Throw in the towel?

In the past five days, Mu Rongfeng sent people to secretly stare at the house where Lin Hui lived, knowing that Lin Hui's door had never been opened, and the junior brother who was waiting for Lin Hui had been squatting at the door crying, not eating, and not sleeping. Coupled with his blind confidence in that "Lord Luo", Mu Rongfeng concluded that Lin Hui was dead.

"Don't wait, let a few disciples draw lots!" Elder Guan said in a commanding tone.

"But ......," Zhang Wanshan hesitated.

"Deacon Zhang, what else are you? Could it be that so many of us have been waiting for him until it gets dark? What if he doesn't come?

Elder Guan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Deacon Zhang, let them draw lots! Ten wooden cards, if the last remaining wooden cards have the word 'one' written on them, then it can only be regarded as that disciple giving up the competition." It's up to the lottery to decide!"

Inside the wooden box, there are a total of ten wooden cards. On each wooden card, a number is written, from one to five. At the same time, these five numbers are also the order of the competition. Every two wooden tiles share a number. If the wooden cards drawn by two disciples are the same number, then the two disciples become opponents in the competition, and one of the two disciples must decide the winner.

The two elders had already said so, and Zhang Wanshan could only reluctantly agree, it was not good to insist on it any longer. If he really angered the two elders, he would be punished for a small matter, and he would directly cancel Lin Hui's qualification for the competition, it would hurt Lin Hui! Zhang Wanshan would be uneasy for the rest of his life.

Throughout the lottery process, Zhang Wanshan was praying that what was left in the wooden box was a wooden sign with the word "five" written on it. It was only nine disciples who drew lots, and it was completed in a short period of time.

Suddenly, there was only one wooden sign left in the wooden box.

When Zhang Wanshan saw this wooden box, he wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it. He was expecting a wooden sign with the word "five" written on it, but he was worried that it would be a wooden sign with the word "one" written on it.

The nine disciples took the wooden plaques and went to the young man next to them to register.

After a while, the competition list for the finals came out. After all, Zhang Wanshan didn't reach out and take out the last remaining wooden card in the wooden box to see what the number was, listening to the young man read out the test sheet, his facial muscles twitched, and he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the mountain again.

In that direction, there was still no Lin Hui.

Zhang Wanshan's anxiety in his heart can be imagined, but he has done his best. At the same time, he was also very angry with Lin Hui, and he actually missed the opportunity to become an inner disciple.

A hint of despair appeared on Zhang Wanshan's face. He was stunned, and sat there in a daze, as if he had changed someone. So much so that he didn't know when the competition would start.

The first competition was a comparison between two disciples of the third layer of the Qi cultivation period.

The second competition was a comparison between a disciple of the third layer of the Qi cultivation period and Lin Hui. If Lin Hui couldn't come in time, this disciple would directly win and enter the next competition. Secretly, this disciple had indeed been praying that Lin Hui would not come, and even the idea of cursing Lin Hui for falling halfway came out. Although he hadn't seen Lin Hui make a move in person, he didn't know what his attack methods were, but the other party was a real fourth-layer Qi cultivation period, and his chances of winning a third-layer Qi cultivation period were too slim.

The third competition was a third-level disciple of the Qi cultivation period and Mu Rongfeng. That disciple already had a look of despair on his face, and it seemed that he was planning to admit defeat directly.

And the last two competitions were all comparisons of the third-level disciples in the Qi cultivation period.

For a disciple who can enter the top ten, it is impossible to do without the third layer of the Qi cultivation period. Generally speaking, some spells that are slightly more powerful need to reach the third layer of the Qi training period before they can be cultivated. In the second layer of the Qi training period, you can only cultivate those spells that are similar to flower shelves, which are beautiful but do not have much attack power.

Right now, the eight third-level Qi cultivation stage cultivators who were finally decided had all gone through many difficulties before they came to the fore. Although cultivation is the same, it has extraordinary abilities in some aspects. For example, if he cultivates a spell that is particularly sharp but can only be used once and is extremely damaging to his body, this spell is enough to greatly increase his chances of winning the competition, and for example, there are disciples whose ability to control spiritual power has been accurate to every slightest, and every spiritual power output has not been wasted, so that he can persist longer in the competition.

"Good!"

The group of disciples gathered around to watch, and suddenly one of them let out a cheer. Immediately, the others responded and applauded.

At this time, in the middle of the flat ground, one of the two disciples who were comparing seemed to have cast some extremely powerful spell, and the opponent's shield was blown up at once. Immediately afterwards, the man raised his hand, and the two fireball talismans were activated and attacked the opponent.

When the shield was blown up, the other disciple was attacked by the mana and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. In the face of the two attacking fireball talismans, this person did not show any panic, but his expression was unusually calm. But seeing that this disciple patted the storage bag on his waist, there were three more water arrow talismans in his hand. When activated, two fireball charms are fireballed, and one of them turns into a water arrow to attack the opponent.

At the point of the finals, except for Lin Hui and Mu Rongfeng, the overall strength of the other eight disciples is comparable, and often after a competition, they are all losers. It's just a matter of who can make it to the end, and whoever wins.

The higher the ranking of the finals, the better the treatment you will enjoy after becoming an inner disciple.

Therefore, almost all of these disciples have made a lot of money, and they are all equipped with all the equipment talismans. Even in order to increase the chance of winning, he borrowed spirit stones from other disciples to buy the things needed for the competition.

The first competition lasted for two pillars of incense before it ended.

In the end, the disciple who was still standing was also covered in scars, and his spiritual power was on the verge of collapse. When the Elder Guan finally ruled him in victory, he collapsed with confidence and let someone carry him away.

In the second competition, Yu Wu fought against Lin Hui. The young man in charge of registration shouted.

Lin Hui?

Those disciples couldn't help but laugh. It hasn't appeared yet, and almost everyone thinks that Lin Hui is scared and doesn't dare to come. As a result, a large number of ridicule and ridicule gradually sounded with a few people taking the lead.

Zhang Wanshan held on to the last glimmer of hope, and kept his eyes on the direction of the mountain, hoping that Lin Hui's figure would emerge from there.

Mu Rongfeng had a cold face, standing there fixedly, in his opinion, there was no suspense in the second competition, and the disciple named Yu Wu would win directly. And he himself is ready to enter the competition field.

Yu Wu stood in the competition field, after so many previous competitions, he had never been so nervous as this competition, and even felt uneasy. He always had a feeling that he wouldn't pick up this cheap win so easily. A sense of crisis permeated his heart all the time. For this reason, Yu Wu would glance at the direction of the mountain from time to time.

"Brother Guan, announce the results of the competition!" said another elder impatiently.

Hearing this, Zhang Wanshan was completely desperate and withdrew his gaze in the direction of the mountain.

Elder Guan glanced at Zhang Wanshan, sighed secretly, and said, "In the second competition, Yu Wu ......"

Suddenly—

"I'm coming!"

A very ordinary word, a very ordinary voice, and even the tone was not inhibited, just said so lightly, but it grabbed everyone's hearts at once.

All of a sudden, all the outer disciples looked in the direction of the mountain.

And Elder Guan stubbornly swallowed back the last word "victory".

When Yu Wu heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and his whole person froze.

"Shit! This stinky boy bastard is finally here. Zhang Wanshan stood up, his face could not hide his surprise, and he couldn't help but scold.

"Impossible!" Mu Rongfeng's face changed greatly, he exclaimed, his mind went blank in an instant, and he said in an inaudible voice: "How could he not be dead." ”

Under the expectation of everyone, Lin Hui's figure was obviously very fast, but in the eyes of everyone, he jumped up from the stone steps at the bottom of the mountain very slowly, and counted the points on his toes, and after a few flashes of his body, he arrived at the competition venue. With his hands behind his back, he inadvertently glanced at Mu Rongfeng, and those emotionless eyes stabbed into Mu Rongfeng's body like two sharp knives. But soon, Lin Hui withdrew his gaze and smiled and nodded to Zhang Wanshan.

Before the battle, Yu Wu felt an invisible pressure enveloping him. His face grew paler, and his back was soaked with sweat.

Mu Rongfeng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face suddenly became gloomy. An eerie aura emanated from his body, causing several people around him to shudder.

"Sure enough, I reached the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period. Mu Rongfeng's divine sense swept Lin Hui's body, his heart was shocked, and he was secretly shocked in his heart. His cultivation was at the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period, and he had stayed at the fourth layer of the Qi training period for five years, so he could naturally see the cultivation of the fifth-level cultivator in the Qi training period under the scan of his divine sense. If he was a monk of a small rank, he would not be able to see it. After all, if you don't cultivate some special spells, you can't jump to see what others have cultivated.

And since Lin Hui cultivated the Five Spirits Quenching Body Nine Transformation Technique, he was able to jump several steps in a row to check the cultivation of others. That night, he also resolutely fled back after discovering that the hunchbacked man was actually a master of the foundation building period. But he was seriously injured because of it,

Except for Mu Rongfeng, it seemed that everyone didn't pay attention to Lin Hui's cultivation improvement. They were all involved in all their thoughts because of Lin Hui's appearance.

Just when everyone decided that Lin Hui would not come, and Elder Guan was about to announce that Yu Wu would win without a fight, Lin Hui appeared.

Falling from the climax to the trough in an instant, it is conceivable that who still has the heart to pay attention to the changes in Lin Hui's cultivation? It was only when Mu Rongfeng learned from that "Lord Luo" that Lin Hui's cultivation was already at the fifth level of the Qi cultivation period, and only at the moment when Lin Hui appeared, his divine sense scanned Lin Hui's body.

"The competition begins!" said the young man in charge of registration, at the signal of Elder Guan.

"Please advise!" Yu Wu had to bite the bullet and clenched his fists and said.

But Lin Hui said lightly: "You are not my opponent!

A monk in the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period directly said to a monk in the third layer of the Qi cultivation period, "You are not my opponent?" and made the other party directly admit defeat. Is it that arrogant?

All the disciples had just recovered from the shock of Lin Hui's appearance, and they were once again shocked by Lin Hui's words.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it is not uncommon for a monk to lose to a lower-order monk. For example, when the outer disciples of the Dianxuan sect challenge the inner disciples or even the core disciples, the cultivation of the outer disciples is often inferior to that of the inner disciples and the core disciples.

Lin Hui, why did he let Yu Wu admit defeat directly?

"Stinky boy, before he even competed, he started to complain in his brain. Zhang Wanshan scolded secretly, but his face showed joy. Lin Hui's personality is in line with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at Lin Hui differently.

And the person concerned, Yu Wu, felt that he was slapped hard by Lin Hui.

"Lin Hui, although you are a fourth-level cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, I try my best, and it is not impossible to win. You are too arrogant and arrogant to say this. Yu Wu's face was gloomy and he said coldly.

At the stone steps leading to the bottom of the mountain, Pan Yu and the two outer disciples who went to summon Lin Hui were late when they heard Lin Hui's arrogant words. Pan Yu couldn't help but boil with blood, and his face was red from excitement, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. The two outer disciples, after being shocked, immediately made a judgment to Lin Hui in their hearts: "Arrogant, arrogant!"

"Is there a fourth layer of Qi cultivation period?" Lin Hui sneered. Suddenly, he activated the spiritual power in his body, and a spiritual power strength that only belonged to the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period instantly emanated from his body, forcing Yu Wu to take a few steps back.

Yu Wu's face changed drastically, and he looked at Lin Hui in disbelief.

Five layers of Qi training period?

Almost all of them felt like they had been poured a basin of cold water, and they couldn't help but feel excited. Staring at a pair of big eyes, his mouth was slightly open, but he was speechless.

All of a sudden, the whole competition hall was silent!

Deathly silence!

No one spoke, it seemed that everyone had stopped breathing, and they couldn't even hear their heartbeats. Their eyes looked at Lin Hui in unison, their faces were shocked or shocked.

How can it be?

Except for Mu Rongfeng, the others had such a big question mark in their hearts.

You must know that half a month ago, Lin Hui had just been promoted to the fourth level of the Qi training period. What's more, three months ago, he was still a first-level monk in the Qi cultivation period. And in just three months, he actually soared all the way from the first layer of the Qi training period to the fifth layer of the Qi training period? How did he do it?

A Five Spirit Root cultivator with extremely bad immortal cultivation qualifications was able to cultivate to the fifth level of the Qi cultivation period within three months? Could it be that he is a demon?

Only those two elders are cultivating in the foundation building period. Their divine senses scanned Lin Hui's body unscrupulously, wanting to find something abnormal from his body. With their knowledge, they didn't believe that Lin Hui had swallowed the elixir of heaven and earth. If Lin Hui only raised his cultivation to the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period, there might be a trace of the effect of the heaven and earth elixir. After all, they all knew that Lin Hui was not only a monk, but also a warrior, and it was normal for his physical strength to be a little stronger than that of ordinary monks. But right now, Lin Hui had directly reached the fifth layer of the Qi Cultivation Period, and they couldn't help but wonder how Lin Hui had raised his cultivation to the fifth layer of the Qi Cultivation Period in a short period of time.

However, with the two elders who were only cultivating in the foundation building period, how could they detect the abnormalities in Lin Hui's body?

"Good boy, his cultivation is even higher than me! Zhang Wanshan patted his thigh and said excitedly. His cultivation was only the peak of the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period. It has not been broken through at the last step.

Deacon Qiao also looked at Lin Hui with satisfaction, and secretly rejoiced: It seems that it is right to win him over earlier. If he can become a core disciple, I will have one more help in the sect, and it will be even more difficult for others to shake my position.

"Senior Brother Lin, if you don't make a sound, you have already made a splash! In such a short period of time, you have raised your cultivation to the fifth level of the Qi cultivation stage. Yu Mou is willing to bow down!" Yu Wu hugged his fist with an unwilling face. Originally, if Lin Hui cultivated the fourth-level cultivation during the Qi cultivation period, he still had a trace of luck. But Lin Hui was already a fifth-level cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, and his cultivation in the third-layer Qi cultivation period would never be able to fight against Lin Hui if he didn't have enough followers. Unless, he is wearing equipment that is all the best magic weapons, and he uses either the best magic weapons or extremely powerful talismans, so that he can win. But he is an outer disciple, and this time Dabi has borrowed a lot of spirit stones from others, so where can he get any superb magic weapons?
