Xia Qian caught up with the end of the entering line. The March-closed arena unsealed the seals and opened the door that had been dormant for a long time. The dust of the salute floated in the sunny sky, slowly descending. Streamers and balls were hung around the arena, and the rings slowly rose from the ground.

Except for Xia Qian, everyone was wearing competition suits, dazzling cinnabar-colored uniforms, and the plain auspicious clouds on the clothes were the symbol of the Xia family, standing above the clouds, and no one could reach them.

Xia Qian followed at the end of the line, and Xia Qiong was at the front of the line. The two tacitly glanced at each other at the beginning and end of the team, Xia Qian smiled confidently, and Xia Qiong curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

Everyone entered the arena and stood upright on the playground. The fragrance of earth and grass surrounds you. The teachers of Yumen stood in a row, also wearing the Xia family's formal clothes. A viewing area is set up around the venue, and a one-foot high pavilion is equipped with tables and chairs for people to use to watch the game.

Right now, Jiuxiaozi, Xia Lang and the others were assigned to sit down, each on both sides to watch the situation below. Naturally, Xia Qian's gaze gathered more. I heard that those who excelled in this reorganization competition would have the opportunity to enter the Xia family's cabinet and be promoted.

After the teacher on the stage finished his opening remarks, he began to roll call. Xia Qian found out that Xia Yu was not at the scene. According to his personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to be late at this time, it must be that there is some accident.

At this time, Master Wanjian slowly came to the stage with the roster, and began to roll out the roll call in his old-fashioned but not hoarse voice.

"Xia Qiong. ”

"Here!" he stepped forward to collect his number plate.

After that, the person whose name is called will come forward to collect his number ticket. Seeing that the number of people entering the venue was getting bigger and bigger, and the waiting line was getting shorter and shorter, Xia Qian couldn't help but worry. So much so that when Master Ten Thousand Swords called out his name, he didn't even notice. Master Wanjian made an exception and called him twice, and he stepped forward to receive the license slowly.

When Master Wanjian handed the card to him, he whispered: "Boy, don't embarrass the teacher, this thing is hard to find if it is lost." ”

Xia Qian still couldn't bear the cold jokes of his unique style, and he also whispered back to him: "You call slowly, someone hasn't arrived yet." ”

Master Ten Thousand Swords winked at him with his eyes under his long eyebrows and slowed down.

The sun was rising overhead, and it was getting bigger. The teacher on the side looked at the sun and urged Master Wanjian to finish quickly.

Master Wanjian frowned, put his hand behind his ear, and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

The teacher replied, "I told you to hurry up, the hour is coming." ”

Master Wanjian solemnly bowed: "Oh." Lower ~ one ~ bit ~ summer ~ world. ”

Teacher: "......"

The little trick played by Xia Qian and Master Wanjian deliberately delayed time, and finally it was Xia Yu's turn. Master Ten Thousand Swords shouted his name for a long time, but no one responded.

Xia Qian looked around.

Master Wanjian shouted his name again, but no one answered. It was Xia Xiao who spoke: "Master Wanjian, look, how can there be anyone." He's not going to come, after all, he's a waste that's not even as good as a dog. The last sentence he said to the disciples, Ying Ying looked at everyone, intending to get approval.

The disciples really catered to it, "That's right, Master Ten Thousand Swords, let's finish the roll call quickly, don't delay the hour." ”

The teachers on the stage also nodded, but Master Wanjian didn't move, just quietly watched Xia Qian's reaction below. Xia Qian didn't say anything, so he continued to shout.

This strange phenomenon caused everyone to look sideways, and they all said that this master of ten thousand swords was old and confused.

"It's really annoying that this old immortal is deliberately biased in favor of Xia Yu. ”

Someone in the team said this, and Xia Qian's anger immediately rushed to his chest, and he shouted threatened.

"He'll come!"

The whispering stopped abruptly, shocked by his voice. Jiuxiaozi on the viewing platform looked curious, but Xia Lang still looked down on his appearance that couldn't be on the stage.

"Shut up, y'all!" He stared at everyone with a fierce gaze, insulting his master, how could he bear it. He himself is pleasant, but he is really angry, but he is unexpectedly frightening.

Xia Qiong's cruel eyes stared at him directly, like staring at the prey that had been waiting for a long time.

Xia Lang on the viewing platform moved his fingers slightly, and the drummer was instructed to raise the drumstick and go to that side.

As soon as the drum sounds, the entrance exam is over!

"I'm sorry!" the door opened again, and everyone looked towards the crack.

"Xia Yu is here!"

Xia Yu shouted this with all his might, and the end was tired. He raised his right hand and dragged his limping body inward.

He was in a depressed shape, and he had not been seen to lose much weight for a few days, and there was no good place in his exposed skin. The bruises on the wrists, the scratches on the neck, and the obvious slap on the corners of the mouth and cheeks.

And his legs! Xia Qian was very familiar with that kind of walking posture, and he was so lame and difficult to walk when he injured his knee at that time.

You don't have to ask to know who did it. It's just that he didn't expect Xia Qiong and others to be so ruthless, none of them hurt the vital point, but they did everything they could. Cruel to the extreme.

He ran out of the line, helped him to Master Ten Thousand Swords, and received the number plate.

"Seventy-three, Xia Yu. ”

The sound of gongs and drums continued, and finally kicked off the prelude to the reorganization competition.

Xia Qian said to Xia Yu: "You bear with it first, after the archery is over, I will find someone to show you." ”

Xia Yu nodded obediently. "Thank you. ”

The reorganization competition is divided into two levels, the first level, archery. Ordinary archery is only based on the number of bullseyes hit. Sword cultivators, on the other hand, are determined by the number of targets an arrow can penetrate, in order to review their spiritual control and power.

On the shooting range, there are ten targets arranged every three zhang in front of and behind the arrow target. A group of ten people, Tianshu Pavilion has a total of seventy-three people, the number is random, and it happens that the last group is Xia Qiong, Xia Yu, and Xia Qian.

The road is narrow.

Xia Yu was seriously injured and barely stood up, sweating like rain on one leg. Xia Qian wanted to give him some support, but the examiner did not allow the contestants to get too close, in case they were taught and received privately, and there was no sense of seriousness in the exam.

In a group of ten people, one person has three arrows, each arrow is ten points, and the score of three arrows is counted as the total score.

There were not a few outstanding in the first seven groups, and the most powerful ones were only shooting through eight arrow targets, if it weren't for the thunderous sound of the drum with the highest score, Xia Qian really didn't know that the monks in the Tianshu Pavilion were all straw bales with a lot of color.

Soon, it came to the last group, and the three of them came on the field to attract almost everyone's attention.

Xia Qiong took the lead in raising the longbow on the stage and drew an arrow from the quiver. The silver arrows glistened harshly in the sunlight, and the long strings were taut. He loosened his fingers, and an arrow came out of the dust.

"Bang bang bang" drum beat three times, and the highest score appeared.

That's the highest score to date. There was an uproar at the bottom, although there was some amazement when the eight points appeared, but that person was the highest score in the third arrow, and it was not as high as Xia Qiong's nine points when he came up.

Xia Lang leaned on the soft body and slowly sat up, and began to pay attention to the red-banded Xia Qiong.

Xia Qian didn't care, but it was only nine points. He raised the longbow, which was not lightweight, and the grip was made of iron, making it difficult to lift it with his bare hands. He used his spiritual power, held it easily, drew the silver sword from the quiver, and shot an arrow with confidence.

"Wow~" The voice of the arrow trembled. The arrow landed firmly in the first bull's-eye.

"Poofha. The audience burst into laughter, causing a stir in the dust.

Jiuxiaozi couldn't help but hold his forehead, and couldn't bear to look at it directly. Master Wanjian stood in the corner and slapped his thighs with a smile.

Xia Qian hung his head in embarrassment, shook his five fingers, and forgot to control his spiritual power.

Xia Yu silently picked up his bow and arrow, and also shot an arrow, just like Xia Qian, stopping at the first target. The wind of ridicule immediately turned in his direction.

Xia Qiong snorted lightly: "People always say that they are embarrassed, but they don't know that fools are also complicit." "He put up another arrow in a smooth way, and it broke through the wind, and it was nine points.

"What do you say? Who do you say is a fool. Xia Qian became angry when he heard him. He asked, flicking his longbow and pointing at him.

Xia Qiong also stopped moving, turned around and replied to him: "Whoever talks is a fool." You, like him, don't think you can get a foothold here with a cheeky face. If you don't have the ability, don't eat this bowl of rice, who is disgusting. ”

Xia Qian replied: "Who can have you disgusting." Playing some insidious means to frame others, do you really think that you are the best in the world? What kind of spring and autumn dreams are you doing? Let me tell you, Xia Yu is much more powerful than you. ”

Xia Qiong glared angrily, stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "Did that waste say something to you?" He looked very nervous, afraid that what he was hiding would be discovered.

Xia Qian waved his hand away: "You are not a genius, and Xia Yu is not a waste." If you dare to insult my friend again, I will never let you go. His voice grew deeper and his eyes burned.

Xia Yu was stunned, then lowered his head, his cheeks flushed, and he bit his lip until it turned white. The knuckles of the fingers holding the longbow gradually turned white, and the wetness under the eyes swirled in the sockets, but it never flowed out.

He raised his longbow, and his ears rang with playful laughter, sarcastic words. He turned his eyes to look at his classmates who had already left the stage, they looked at the disputes between the three people on the stage without their own business, and only cared about whether their own interests were related or not.

The eyes of the audience moved from the two arguing to Xia Yu, who was about to shoot arrows. They make understatement comments.

"Look at that, the waste is going to shoot arrows again. I guess he won't be more than three points overall. ”

"If it were me, I wouldn't come to the competition with my face licked, how ugly. ”

"If a dog knows how to write ugly words, it can still be a dog. ”

"Hahaha, that's not wrong at all. A burst of laughter filled the entire arena.

Xia Yu gritted her teeth and trembled her hands. He was afraid that if the arrow was shot, he would fall into the dust and never get up.

"Don't be nervous. Xia Qian's voice came.

Xia Yu turned his head to look at his side face.

"Don't take other people's word for it, the weak will never understand how strong you are. ”

After a long time, Xia Yu did not forget Xia Gan's words and the eyes in his eyes when he said this, the existence like hope was the only light in his heart.

He took a deep breath and neatly pulled an arrow from his quiver and rested it on top of his longbow. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of cranes. When the wind stopped, he opened his resolute eyes, and the flickering light in his pupils saw through the ten targets in front of him.

He let go of his fingers, and the bowstring trembled to a blur. The tide set off by the long arrows that rushed out extinguished the contempt at the corners of Xia Qiong's mouth.

You dirty dog, ......

These are the jobs that dogs should do......

Dogs should eat feces, not eat......

Today, I'm going to turn it all upside down!

The sharp arrows were firmly anchored in the red wall. The audience held their breath, and no one made a sound.

Ten !! total annihilation!!

Xia Qiong looked at Xia Yu in disbelief, and the sound of muffled drums sounded in her ears.

The contestants in the audience were all dumbfounded, they looked at each other in shock.

The thunderous drums that shook the heavens and the earth set off a strong gust of wind, and the purple hairband on the back of Xia Yu's head flew in the air. He opened his eyes and let the tears run through the corners of his bitter and joyful mouth.
