After a night of silence, early the next morning, Hu Yan woke up from his deep sleep.

After last night's pranayama, the injuries on Hu Yan's body are no longer serious, and even the extradermal wounds on his chest and hands have healed and scabbed.

"Little brother, you're awake. Does the wound still hurt?" As soon as Hu Yan stepped out of the room, he heard Ziling's crisp voice.

"Ziling, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt. Hu Yan shook his head with a smile, ripped open the placket on his chest, exposed the wound inside, and said, "Look, it's basically all right." ”

Ziling stretched out her hand and touched it carefully, and after a while, a reassuring smile finally appeared on her face: "It's really good." Little brother, don't you know that Ziling was scared to death yesterday. Hold out your hand and I'll take a look. ”

"Ziling, thank you for taking care of me yesterday and worrying about you, I'm really sorry. Hu Yan said, reaching out to Ziling, he had already removed all the strips of cloth wrapped around his hands last night, after all, it was too inconvenient to wrap his hands around the strips of cloth.

"My hands are not completely healed, although they are already starting to scab over, but I still need some medicine. Who told you to remove the strips of cloth without permission? Ziling pouted and said with a displeased face.

Hu Yan smiled and said, "It's not that it's inconvenient to get your hands entangled." Besides, this little extraskin injury is not a big deal. ”

"By the way, little brother, did you kill the demon beast in the lost forest?" Ziling, who was concentrating on the medicine, suddenly stopped, staring at Hu Yan in a daze with a pair of big watery eyes.

"Well, that's what I killed. What's wrong?" Hu Yan was a little embarrassed by Ziling's burning gaze, and turned his face away and didn't dare to look at her again. But suddenly, he looked back at Ziling in surprise and said, "No, no one seems to have seen this, how did you know?"

"You don't know, after you fell unconscious yesterday, they found the body of the demon beast, and they all guessed who killed the demon beast! That's why I'm asking. Ziling blinked her big eyes and said with a smile: "But I can be sure now, little brother, you are really powerful!"

Hu Yan grinned and said with a wry smile: "At the moment of life and death, anyone will fight hard." I just want to make it to the second stage alive. ”

"But the fourth senior brother said that with his skills, he couldn't kill the demon beast with his bare hands. But you did. Little brother, you're really powerful. Ziling's face was excited, and even her eyes flashed.

Hearing Ziling say this, Hu Yan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the strength of the demon beast was so strong, even the fourth senior brother didn't dare to fight with him with his bare hands. But then he was relieved, although he said that he killed it with two fists, but it was not with his bare hands, if it wasn't for the help of Emperor Qiankun Zhong, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get any bargain.

Hu Yan was about to open his mouth to clarify, but the fourth senior brother and the others had already walked over together.

"Fourteenth brother, how do you feel today, can you still fight?" Seeing that Hu Yan was sober and in excellent spirits, the fourth senior brother stepped forward and patted Hu Yan's arm.

"Fourth Senior Brother, I'm fine, thank you for your concern, don't worry, I will definitely do my best in today's martial arts competition." At least it won't disgrace our deacon's face. Hu Yan looked at the fourth senior brother and the other senior brothers gratefully.

"That's fine, but don't force it. It's your first time participating in the competition, so it's important to get a good ranking, but you also have to pay attention to your body. Dabi can participate every year, and it doesn't matter if you lose this time, it's a big deal to participate next year. Of course, it would be better if we could win, hahaha......" The fourth senior brother nodded and smiled boldly.

Hu Yan naturally knew that the fourth senior brother was concerned about himself, so he nodded and said, "Fourth senior brother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." As for Dabi, I will do my best as well. ”

"Nonsense, don't forget our agreement. Wu Qiu raised his eyebrows at Hu Yan and said with a grin.

Hu Yan grinned and nodded: "Remember!"

"The draw is about to start, let's go. The fourth senior brother looked up at the sky, it was not early.

Everyone agreed, and under the leadership of the fourth senior brother, they walked towards the direction of the martial arts platform.

The martial arts platform was set up in the open space in the Lost Forest of the first stage of assessment yesterday, with one main stage and nine sub-platforms. Ten matches can be played at the same time.

There are four viewing platforms on the periphery of the martial arts platform, which can have a panoramic view of the ten martial arts platforms.

When the deacon hall and the others came to the viewing platform where they belonged, the viewing platform where the other three halls were located was already full of people.

The martial arts competition is the highlight of this inner door competition, and they waited here early in order to see the demeanor of each hall and assess the strength of each hall.

Obviously, the number of participants in this martial arts competition is not as good as in previous years, but it does not mean that this year's strength is not as good as in previous years.

These people in front of them are all strong players who have passed the baptism of the first stage of assessment, and the strength of those who can enter the second stage of the martial arts platform is not weak.

The Law Enforcement Hall was as strong as ever, with a total of thirty-two people entering the second stage, and most of them had already reached the advanced level of Qi cultivation.

Shuimu Hall is second, with a total of nineteen people entering the second stage, although the number of people is much less than that of the Law Enforcement Hall, but its strength should not be underestimated.

In third place is Shifang Hall, with a total of eleven people entering the second stage. Wu Chen, who was the first to walk out of the Lost Forest, was among them.

Only the Deacon Hall has the least number of personnel, and a total of six people have entered the second stage of the martial arts competition. And it is the youngest of all the participants in the four halls. The eighth senior brother is the oldest, and he is only seventeen years old, the ninth senior brother is seventeen years old, the tenth senior brother is fifteen years old, and the twelfth senior brother is about the same as Hu Yan, one is thirteen years old and the other is twelve years old, and he is only less than seven years old.

On the other hand, most of the other three participants were twenty years old.

"Is there really no one in the Deacon Hall, why did he even participate in the competition, and actually let him break into the second stage of the martial arts competition?" A tall man in Shuimu Hall who had just successfully built the foundation looked at the people in the Deacon Hall with disdain.

"You don't know this, I heard that Senior Brother Wuqiu has now reached the third stage of the middle stage of Qi cultivation, but don't look at his young age, his cultivation ability is not bad. An older man next to him disagreed.

"So powerful?" the tall man was slightly stunned.

"That's not it, look at Song Qingshan, he only practiced the middle level of qi last year, and he made a breakthrough in a year, and he reached the high level of qi training. The older man pouted in the direction of the eighth senior brother.

"In this way, the strength of the deacon's hall this year is not as weak as we thought. The tall man frowned slightly.

"And as far as I know, they've signed up for six people this year. But you see, the six of them have actually entered the second stage of martial arts competition, and their strength is naturally not weak. The older man raised his eyes and swept over the six disciples in the deacon hall who were nervously preparing for battle.

"Who is that thin young man in the deacon hall, I don't seem to have seen it before?" the tall man asked with some confusion as his eyes swept over the nonsense.

"I heard that it is a new disciple of the head of the family, it seems to be called nonsense. The older man said after a moment's silence.

"Uncle Master has not confiscated new disciples for two years, how could he suddenly accept such a thin apprentice. The tall man pouted.

"Uncle Boss is as wise as a torch, and the person he looks at must not be an ordinary person. And I heard that in the Lost Forest this time, there was a demon beast with the strength of the foundation building period that was killed alive with both fists. Maybe it was from this person. The older man stared at the nonsense, as if he wanted to see the nonsense through.

"What? How is this possible. The tall man looked in disbelief at the thin nonsense not far away, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"It's true, yesterday I went to the Lost Forest with the fifth senior brother of the Deacon Hall to search for the trapped disciples in each hall, and found that a demon beast in the forest had broken bones all over its body, and even its head was smashed to pieces. After my analysis, it was indeed a fist kill. Another disciple of the Shuimu Hall next to him spoke.

"Oh my God, the strength of the demon beast in the foundation building period, I'm afraid that with the strength of you and me, it is not easy to kill easily, a qi practitioner who has not yet built a foundation can actually kill it with his fists, this is too exaggerated. The tall man looked horrified, and his gaze became a little strange.

"But that's just the way it is. The disciple next to him shrugged and said with a smile.

"What kind of person is that nonsense, so powerful!" everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Hu Yan.

Hu Yan, who was standing in the preparation area of the Deacon Hall, suddenly felt a strange sense of oppression coming from a distance, but this sense of oppression did not seem to be malicious, so he looked up sharply in that direction, but saw that several people on the viewing platform of the Shuimu Hall were looking at him. He was slightly stunned, and then relieved, he had just arrived, and the sudden appearance of a new face would naturally attract the attention of others. He didn't take it to heart, but gave a friendly and bright smile to the person who was looking at him in that direction.

"He seems to know we're watching him!"

"What a strong sense. He's really good. ”

Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but start to re-examine the young man who was not far away.

After the master read out the matters and rules of the martial arts competition, all the participants began to draw lots.

A large stone jar was placed on the main stage of the martial arts, which was filled with wooden plaques engraved with numbers, and the participants of the four halls took turns to draw their number plates. If the two are the same, they will be automatically paired and go on stage for a competition.

Hu Yan also got his own number, which was number 30.

At the end of the draw, some people were happy and some were worried. Due to the large number of people in the Law Enforcement Hall and the Mizuki Hall, there are sometimes cases where the number is the same between the same door.

However, the number of disciples in the deacon's hall is different. In other words, in the first round of martial arts, there will be no fights between fellow disciples and brothers. This is naturally an excellent thing for the deacon hall.

Because there are only ten martial arts platforms, one can only accommodate ten pairs of players to compete at the same time, so Hu Yan can only play in the third game.

That's not a bad thing for him. At least you can watch two battles in front of you and learn from them so that you can better cope with your own battles.
