"It's finally time to get out of this place. ”

Standing at the door of the thatched house, Pang Zi's face was excited. Ning Xuanyuan defeated Zhou Yi, whether it was according to the rules of the sect or the agreement between the two, Zhou Yi's residence in the upper mountain range would belong to Ning Xuanyuan. As Ning Xuanyuan's hardcore and die-hard friend, Pang Zi naturally followed one person to attain the Tao, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven.

Ning Xuanyuan looked at Pang Zi with disdain, still underestimating this guy's face, when did he say that he was going to take this dead fat man with him? It was completely this guy making his own decisions.

But having said that, Pang Zi was still very righteous at the critical moment, so Ning Xuanyuan actually didn't plan to leave him here alone.

"Gone. ”

Ning Xuanyuan walked forward, Pang Zi hurriedly followed behind, and the figures of the two people disappeared into the jungle in front of them.

In the rear, a group of teenagers looked at the disappearing backs of the two, and a look of envy appeared in their eyes. Ning Xuanyuan was the first newcomer to leave here, and yesterday's scene was also engraved in their hearts like an imprint. The arrogant and arrogant figure of the young man who trampled Zhou Yi under his feet has unconsciously become the goal they are chasing and the driving force for progress. As for Zhou Yi and Zhou Xuan, no one will pay attention to it now.

People remember only the strong. As for the weak, who cares? Who would look at the two of them who were so huddled in a thatched hut like this?

.............

Walk through the dense jungle and make your way forward. Half a day later, the vision ahead suddenly widened. It is an extremely spacious and vast open space, surrounded by ancient trees, and the small buildings with exquisite shapes are scattered. In front of each small building, there is an independent courtyard. The setting is elegant and refreshing.

Stopping, Ning Xuanyuan looked up. I saw that in different directions of this clearing, there were sword-shaped stone tablets of different sizes and colors. Like a stone sword, it stands majestically and magnificently.

And around those sword-shaped stone tablets, there are many figures surrounding them at this time, standing or sitting. It seems that he is practicing.

The arrival of Ning Xuanyuan and the others attracted the attention of some people. When they saw the two of them clearly, the faces of those people were suddenly stunned and slightly stunned.

The two unfamiliar new faces naturally surprised the old people here. After all, this year's new talents have only been in the field for a month, and they have broken into the second-layer area so quickly?

"You two are new here?" A figure came from a distance, stopped in front of Ning Xuanyuan and the others, and looked at them strangely.

"yes, the two of us just came up from the mountain. My name is Pang Zi, and his name is Ning Xuanyuan. Pang Zi stepped forward with a smile, and the smile on his face was harmless. "What is this senior brother's name? I will take care of it more in the future. ”

"Ning Xuanyuan?" The man's eyes flickered slightly, how did this name sound a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. "My name is Lu Ran, you can call me Senior Brother Lu. ”

"Since the two of you have made it all the way here, it seems that your cultivation strength is not bad. But when you get here, it doesn't mean that you can stay, you still need to challenge a senior brother here, and after winning, you can live here. Lu Ran suppressed the doubts in his heart, and then spoke.

"You can stay for a day, and the minimum cultivation of the senior brother here is also the awakening of the fivefold marrow realm. At this time tomorrow, you must choose one person to challenge, and if you don't fight or lose, you have to go back to the bottom of the mountain. ”

As he spoke, a look of pride appeared on Lu Ran's face. It's not that they are showing off anything in front of Ning Xuanyuan and the others, but the rookie disciples of the previous generations have been able to break through the blockade of demon beasts within a year and come to the second layer of the mountain range. But in the end, very few can successfully stay. The vast majority of people have returned to the bottom of the mountain because of the failure of the challenge.

In fact, letting these newcomers live in thatched huts at the foot of the mountain is a kind of tempering of the sect for them. Let them know that even if they can enter the sect, the future road will not be smooth sailing. After the expiration of the one-year period, the sect will hold a unified assessment before the new batch of disciples enter, as long as the results are not too bad, they can enter the second mountain range and choose a place to live.

Therefore, although Lu Ran was a little surprised by the arrival of Ning Xuanyuan and the others, he still didn't think that they could stay here.

"Thank you, brother, for telling me, but we don't have to do that because we already have a place to live. Pang Zi smiled and said.

"What, do you have a place to live?" Lu Ran was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Pang Zi with a puzzled expression.

"May I ask Senior Brother, where is Zhou Yi's original residence?" Pang Zi nodded, and then asked.

"Zhou Yi?" Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with a gleam. His gaze fell on Ning Xuanyuan's body, and he finally remembered. Just some time ago, he overheard that Zhou Yi went down the mountain to visit his younger brother. After that, he didn't come back for many days, it seemed that he was waiting for a newcomer named Ning Xuanyuan.

"You and Zhou Yi have done it?" Lu Ran looked directly at Ning Xuanyuan and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes. Ning Xuanyuan nodded, this matter would spread sooner or later, and there was no need for him to hide it.

"What about the result?" Lu Ran felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, Zhou Yi's strength was not outstanding here, but after all, he was also an old man who had been cultivating for a year, and he had awakened the cultivation of the Fivefold Realm. He wouldn't lose at the hands of a new disciple, would he?

"Since I can appear here, what is the result, I think Senior Brother should be able to think of it, right?" Ning Xuanyuan said lightly, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

Lu Ran's eyes flashed with a gleam, he believed that Ning Xuanyuan would not talk nonsense about this matter. After all, what the facts are, a little probing will make it clear. However, a newcomer who has only entered the sect for a month can defeat Zhou Yi, this kind of thing is too unbelievable, right?

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock in his heart, Lu Ran glanced at Ning Xuanyuan more, then raised his hand and pointed in one direction.

"That small building is Zhou Yi's residence. ”

"Thank you, brother. Ning Xuanyuan arched his hand and said, and then walked forward with Pang Zi. Before coming to the small building in the distance, after reconfirming, the two of them walked straight into it.

Looking at the two people who disappeared into the small building, Lu Ran's heart was full of ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down. Among the newcomers of this year, there is such a demon. In a month's time, he successfully defeated the old disciple and moved into the second mountain range.

"What's wrong Lu Ran?" At this time, several figures came over in the distance, standing beside Lu Ran, looking ahead. "Who are those two people, and how did they get into Zhou Yi's residence?"

Lu Ran turned around, glanced at the person who spoke, and then said: "That small building has changed hands, from today onwards, it no longer belongs to Zhou Yi, but to a newcomer named Ning Xuanyuan." ”

"What?" Several people around them were stunned, wondering if they had heard it wrong. "Xiaolou changed hands, do you mean Zhou Yi was defeated by a newcomer?"

"Otherwise, what do you think is the reason why the two newcomers can squeeze out Zhou Yi's residence. Lu Ran said lightly, and then turned to leave.

The faces of the remaining figures suddenly became exciting. After all, for so many years, this has rarely happened. A newcomer who has just started actually squeezed out the old man's position.

"Ning Xuanyuan? Someone spoke, looking at the small building in the distance. "A newcomer, then I want to see how capable this newcomer kid is, and he can squeeze out Zhou Yi. ”

.................

Walking into the small building, Ning Xuanyuan looked around. The environment of this small building is countless times stronger than the thatched hut at the bottom of the mountain, and there are not only several rooms in it, but also a separate practice room. The most important thing is that the aura of heaven and earth here is several times richer than that under the mountain. And all kinds of necessities for life are also readily available.

"This differential treatment is really not too big. Ning Xuanyuan said with emotion, and Pang Zi had already let out a cheer and ran upstairs.

That night, neither of them left the small building, and after washing up comfortably, they rested well in their respective rooms. After all, in the past month, the two of them have never really rested. Without Pang Zi's thunderous snoring to disturb him, Ning Xuanyuan could finally sleep peacefully until dawn.

Early the next morning, Ning Xuanyuan walked out of the small building and came to a nearby sword-shaped stone tablet. On this stone stele, there are engraved cracks like sword marks, crisscrossing and crisscrossing. A sharp sword aura with a fiery intent diffused from it. And this kind of sword qi made Ning Xuanyuan feel a sense of familiarity.

"The kendo technique used by Zhou Yi?" Ning Xuanyuan's eyes condensed slightly, and he recognized it at a glance. His heart couldn't help but shake a little, recalling what Elder Muyun had said before, within the Qingxiao Sword Sect, everything spoke with strength. As long as you have enough strength, the resources within the sect can be taken as needed.

Living at the foot of the mountain, you rely on yourself for all your practice. It will only be a month before an old disciple will come down the mountain to give advice. And here, there is a kendo stone tablet in any place, and you can feel and practice at will. The gap between the two is a world of difference.

Suppressing what he was thinking, Ning Xuanyuan sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, and then stared ahead. Gradually, the flaming sword marks on the stone tablet seemed to come to life, and kept wandering in his mind.

Ning Xuanyuan's eyes were closed, and the sword marks on the stone tablet had been memorized by him, and he didn't need to look at them anymore. And in his mind, a figure appeared at this time.

The man held a long sword, and with a sword he slashed out, and the flames soared into the air, as if he could burn mountains and boil seas, and the power was infinite.
