CHAPTER XVI

Tomorrow is the assessment, Zou Li still insisted on the last day to still train here, training with the waterfall was initially effective, and later after he practiced to the peak of the third layer of the Iron Bone Gong, the effect was not obvious, or when his health sutra broke through to the sixth layer, he drove the Iron Bone Gong to advance together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I reached the fourth layer of Iron Bone Gong, the waterfall training here had no effect at all, but I couldn't find a better way to practice, so I had no choice but to continue training here and review it.

After today's training, I'm afraid I won't be here again.

Get dressed, grab the fish from the small puddle, and make your way back to the dormitory briskly.

Since he came here to practice, he caught a big fish every few days and went back to the dormitory for the cooking test, first Wang Dazhuang barbecue, and then Huang Cai, this kid opened a hotel at home, there are many condiments, plus this kid inherited his Lao Tzu's skills, and then everyone will barbecue.

Sometimes Zou Li also hunted a few small people and pheasants back, and their little life was not bad.

After tomorrow, everyone will be separated.

Because it was too dangerous to collect medicine, Wang Dazhuang, Huang Cai, and Thin Monkey decided to be guards, and now the strength of the three of them has reached the late stage of the samurai, and their strength ranks within the hundred. This is also thanks to the elixir provided by Zou Li, otherwise, they would be a mid-stage warrior strength at most.

Only Zou Li wanted to be a disciple of medicine picking, but Huang Cai didn't listen to any persuasion, so he had to be left to him in the end.

Thinking that after tomorrow, they will go their separate ways, although they are both outer disciples, but the disciples of medicine picking and guarding do not live in the same place.

Every powerful medicine collecting disciple has an independent small courtyard, where some medicinal materials can be planted, and skills such as refining medicine and making pills can also be practiced.

Those who have no money can live first, and they will be deducted from the medicinal materials in the future, and those who have money can pay it off at once.

The guards had to live together and go with each other, unless they were on vacation before they could go home.

Herb picking disciples are solo activities, and as long as they complete the task in peace, their tasks can be handed over once every three months or once every six months.

After completing the task, the rest of the time is at your own disposal, which is more free, which is dangerous.

When collecting medicine, there are not only fierce beasts, but also fellow medicine collectors and hunters, who can kill you at any time and throw your life on the mountain if you are not careful.

However, there are dangers and opportunities, and many medicine pickers have made a fortune because they have collected precious medicinal materials, rather than selling them. It is to keep it for its own use, and its skills have been greatly improved. Thus entering the martial period, or the congenital stage. It can be said that opportunities and crises coexist.

The Crouching Tiger Gang Named Disciple Competition is divided into two types: elimination and challenge.

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the registered disciples, the top ten will each be rewarded with three pills to increase internal strength, and the top three will go to the Inner Gate Scripture Building to borrow a copy of the technique for free.

When the news came out, the registered disciples were boiling. You must know that the outer disciples of the Crouching Tiger Gang, in addition to the new beginner disciples can get a free copy of the initial martial arts exercises and a set of techniques, only after being promoted to a martial artist can they get a free copy of the follow-up exercises again, and the techniques must be obtained with contribution points.

Especially in the inner door of the scripture building, the martial arts are at least mid-level martial arts.

Soon after dawn, the sun shone through the mist on the top of the mountain on the square, and at this time the square was already full of people, and not far away, many disciples gathered in clusters of east and west, and discussed.

Among the people who came, there were not only the registered disciples who participated in the challenge, but also the other disciples who stayed in the gang, after all, the elimination of new outer disciples was also a big event in the Crouching Tiger Gang, although it was far from the battles between high-level martial artists such as martial artists and martial arts sects, but there were still a lot to see.

There are three large high platforms on the northeast side of the square, except for one that already exists, and the other two were completed only yesterday.

Obviously, the challenge is divided into three rings, 360 registered disciples will be carried out by drawing lots to get numbers, the number and ring number will be indicated on the lot, each draw will be registered on the display board in the square, each number has two identical, such as the winner is a group.

Although Zou Li and the others had long been clear about the rules of the Named Disciple Elimination Competition, they were still a little nervous when they really faced it.

About half an hour after the four of them came to the square, the three elders and several hall masters of the Leopard Hall, the Medicine Picking Hall and the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall arrived one after another, and one of the several stewards of the general affairs office who served as the referee of the game came out and stood on the stage and announced loudly: "The lottery begins." ”

At this time, people looked at the stage, only to see that there was a ticket box on each of the three high platforms, and the disciples who participated in the knockout round were divided into three groups under the leadership of the head of the sect, and went to the stage, each drew one, reported the number, and was recorded on the display board by a steward, less than half an hour, the lottery ended, and Zou Li drew No. 160 on the No. 2 platform. Based on the calculation of 120 people in each ring, there are 19 matches in front of Zou Li before it is his turn.

Zou Li was not in a hurry, and after a while, the thin monkey of good things came to tell Zou Li that his opponent was a young man named Huang Cheng, who was relatively thin and made a spear, Zou Li didn't care when he heard it.

The techniques chosen by the registered disciples are all low-level, while the marksmanship taught by their own family is medium-level.

Besides, with his early cultivation of the fourth layer of iron bone skills, as long as he is not in the late stage of martial arts, he is not afraid, even if he is in the late stage of martial arts, he can't win, and he wants to dodge, with no shadow step, the other party is helpless.

Zou Li didn't say anything, although the thin monkey and others were his brothers, it was better not to finish his own bottom.

Zou Li has been in the Crouching Tiger Gang for three years, and he has long known from the old disciples in the gang that although the Crouching Tigers are forbidden to kill each other, all kinds of fights are still unavoidable, and even some disciples offend high-level disciples or elders with backgrounds or strong ones who are sent outside under various names, and then disappear.

Zou Li knows that in the gang, he must be low-key, and he can endure it, but he is not afraid to really provoke him.

I heard that there is a technique in the inner gate that can hide people's breath, which can make him survive better in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, in this knockout round, his aim is to finish in the top three.

Zou Li inspected between the three rings, and felt that there was not much novelty, as a beginner registered disciple, he had fought during training, except for a few who brought art into the gang, the difference in everyone's strength was not too big.

By the time Zou Li took the stage, it was already afternoon.

He walked up to the stage and saw a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years of age standing across from him with a thin face and a spear in his hand.

Although they are all in the outer courtyard, they are divided into four areas, and they don't often meet each other, Zou Li is practicing alone most of the time because of the exercises, and he doesn't know each other, but he still arches his hands.

After the other party returned the salute, the two began to compete, holding the gun in one hand, slowly moving on the stage, and from time to time there were disciples shouting: "Fight, fight!"

Some people who knew Huang Cheng also shouted: "Huang Cheng, stab with a gun, stab with a gun!"

Zou Li glanced at the audience with his eyes, and saw that Liu Min, who had a little grudge against him, was also standing in the audience watching.

I smiled in my heart and had an idea.

Huang Cheng finally couldn't help it, and raised his gun to Zou Lizha, Zou Li flashed, and Huang Cheng stabbed a few times, but Zou Li either retreated or dodged.

The people in the audience were unhappy, and someone said: "Who is this kid, shouldn't he know how to shoot, he hides and hides with his footwork." ”

Someone answered: "It seems that this kid is practicing iron bone skills, when I first received the exercises, I saw it, and the senior brother who registered the exercises at that time persuaded him, but this kid didn't listen." I wonder if you've reached the second level now?"

"Haha, shouldn't this kid not have enough internal strength to dare to fight with Brother Huang Cheng, so he has to wander away. There was a laugh.

Huang Cheng naturally heard these people's discussions, laughing and laughing, his heart moved, the tension on his face relaxed, he raised his gun and smashed it, and his momentum suddenly became vigorous.

Zou Li just backed down and set up, looking a little busy.

Huang Cheng said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zou, it's better to take the initiative to admit defeat, otherwise, my marksmanship is not good, and I can't help it all of a sudden. ”

Zou Li shook his head: "I won't take the initiative to admit defeat." Just let the horses come. ”

Huang Chengdao: "So I have no choice but to help you." ”

After saying that, the gun was vigorous, and the gun head was chaotic, which was dazzling, Zou Li had to retreat slowly, seeing the side of the stage, Huang Cheng saw that victory was in sight, and he was just short of forcing Zou Li off the stage.

At this moment, Zou Li shook in front of him, and suddenly disappeared, and when Huang Cheng was startled, the audience shouted: "Back." Behind. Huang Cheng panicked, and stabbed back with a pistol, Zou Li flicked the gun and stepped forward. kicked Huang Cheng down with one kick.

The people watching from the audience screamed in surprise, dodged away, only to hear the sound of hitting the ground, dust was blowing everywhere, and the spear smashed a corner of the floor tiles in the square, and Huang Cheng also rolled to the side. After a while, Huang Chengcai got up and shouted: "Zou Li, you kid is cheating." ”

Zou Li arched his hand and said, "Brother Huang! ”

Huang Cheng said with an unconvinced face: "Compare again, compare again." ”

The referee glared at him and said, "Zou Lisheng in this game." ”

On the stage, the hall master of the Medicine Picking Hall said to the elders beside him: "This kid is obviously stronger than that kid, but he still shows weakness, and when that kid believes that he has a winning ticket, he unexpectedly kicks that kid off the stage." Good strategy, good strategy. ”

The elder sighed: "In this world where martial artists are respected, low-key is the magic weapon for survival!"
