"I'm dead, I'm dead!" shouted one after another in Yang Ran's mind.

He took a few steps forward in a daze, and this time, looking at his corpse, Yang Ran suddenly did not have a trace of panic and fear.

He looked stunned, and with a gentle stroke of his hand, he closed the wide, blood-red eyes, and then helped him to fall on the dirt, grabbed the dirt with one hand and scattered it on his body.

"Boom!!"

The thunder in the sky became even more rampant, and suddenly, raindrops the size of beans fell, and soon there was a downpour.

Yang Ran's eyes gradually blurred, and he gradually couldn't see the road ahead, but there were tears in his eyes that kept dripping, mixed with rain, one after another, and fell on his corpse.

......

"Brother, brother, wake up, don't scare Meng'er!" In a blur, Yang Ran seemed to hear someone shouting his name, but he was in severe pain, like being cut by a knife, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.

His mind was still silent in the sadness just now, and Yang Ran had a splitting headache, but he still tried to sort out his thoughts.

He clearly knew that he was still alive, which meant that the scene just now was just illusory.

But now, why is he injured for some reason?

Could it be that the scene in the dream is real?

Are you really dead?

This absurd thought lingered in Yang Ran's mind, as if this was the reality.

Just when Yang Ran was sorting out his thoughts, he suddenly felt a little cold and moist on his face, and then someone gently lay on his body, and there was a faint sobbing sound, so his chest was gradually wet with tears.

Yang Ran was very tired, fortunately, he still had the last strength to urge the golden qi to recuperate, he slowly healed, and after a long time, after regaining some clarity and strength, he opened his eyes vigorously, and his vision was blurred, it was a clean and simple dormitory.

was stunned for a moment, and after the thunder and lightning scene gradually faded away, Yang Ran turned his eyes to look at Meng'er lying on his chest, and then hoarsely and shouted in a low voice: "Meng'er." ”

This voice was very faint, but in Meng'er's ears, it was like a heavenly sound, she raised her head and looked at Yang Ran in a daze, with endless surprise and endless joy on her face.

"Brother!" Meng'er's red and swollen eyes suddenly burst into tears, she wiped away the tears on her face with her little hands, and bloomed the brightest smile, and then, the whole person pounced on Yang Ran.

"Ahem!" This collision is not trivial, Yang Ran coughed violently a few times, and when he saw this dream, he panicked, hurriedly withdrew his body, and looked at Yang Ran at a loss.

Although he had been with Meng'er for more than half a month, Yang Ran had never seen this silent little girl so happy, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart, and the sadness in his heart seemed to have faded a lot, and he said softly: "Silly girl, go pour a glass of water." ”

"Hmm. Meng'er responded, and hurriedly got up and poured a glass of water, she held the big cup of water in her two small hands, and carefully handed it to Yang Ran's lips.

A stream of clear water like a throat, Yang Ran felt much better, and after trying to run the energy in his body with difficulty, he finally had some strength and sat up.

He stabilized his mind, looked at Meng'er beside him, remembered everything that had happened before, thought for a while and asked, "Meng'er, do you know what happened?"

Meng'er still had tears on her face, and shook her head: "As soon as Meng'er woke up, I saw my brother lying down, and he kept crying and talking about his dreams, and Meng'er couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed." ”

Yang Ran, who had already guessed the answer, sighed in his heart, he stretched out his hand to hug Meng'er, and said softly: "Brother, isn't this okay? Brother won't leave Meng'er." ”

"Hmm. Meng'er, who was held in her arms, sobbed in response, and held Yang Ran in her little hand, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would lose it again.

And Yang Ran, who was holding her, sighed secretly in her heart, there are more and more mysteries in Meng'er, how should she solve them......

Meng'er was safe and sound, and Yang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was injured inexplicably, and he was destined to use his golden qi to heal his injuries all night.

After racing against time to heal, it wasn't until the sun rose the next day that he felt that his injuries in his body had healed.

In the early morning, seeing that Yang Ran and Meng'er had returned safely, Mo Yuxi and Elizabeth were naturally very happy.

So, after briefly explaining to them, Yang Ran followed them to the square of the competition.

Since there are ten places to enter the "Dream Fairy Pool", the competition of sixteen into eight can be called the pinnacle of this "Spirit Pond Battle".

On this day, the pomp and circumstance was far better than a few days ago, not only the audience was full and crowded, but even at the front of the square, more than ten more seats were added, on which were all the distinguished elders of the academy, and even the third person of the academy, the great elder Li Yufeng, was impressive.

However, to Yang Ran's surprise, their mentor who had disappeared for many days, the obscene old man Zheng Yuhong, actually sat on the elder's seat, dressed in a cyan robe, posing like a grandmaster with fairy wind and bones, and had a close conversation with Li Yufeng.

"Qian Wu, Yuxi, isn't that Mentor Zheng, why is he sitting in the elder seat?" Elizabeth also noticed this anomaly and asked in surprise.

Yang Ran smiled, "Maybe I haven't seen you for a few days, but Tutor Zheng has been exceptionally promoted to elder by the academy." ”

"How is it possible? Even if you are promoted, the academy will hold a grand coronation ceremony!" Elizabeth had a simple personality, obviously not understanding the ridicule in Yang Ran's words.

"Boom!"

Yang Ran just wanted to speak again, but at this time, a majestic bell rang in the square, overpowering the noise of the entire square.

Yang Ran subconsciously looked at the elder seat, and sure enough, he saw Li Yufeng, who was the Great Elder, slowly standing up, his breath on his body was long, although it was not on the surface, but the sense of oppression of the strong man in his gestures made the noise of the entire square slowly calm down.

Li Yufeng's gaze swept from all around, and it wasn't until the entire square fell silent that he said aloud: "Now, please invite all the students who have entered the top sixteen to go to the Beiwu platform." ”

The mountain wind blew, the white clouds were ethereal, and there was a slight commotion in the square, and people came out one after another and walked towards the front of the square.

And Yang Ran, after briefly explaining a few words to Mo Yuxi and the others, walked to Beiwutai at the front of the square.

After a while, the top 16 all came to Beiwutai, and of course, people like Long Buyi and Liu Yifeng who knew each other greeted Yang Ran.

But soon, everyone looked at the elder seat, waiting for Li Yufeng to announce the start of the top 16 competition.

Li Yufeng's gaze swept over the sixteen people one by one, and one of them strangely stayed on Yang Ran for a while.

He spoke again, and his clear voice resounded throughout the square: "In the past, the ten places for entering the Dream Immortal Pond were all top eight plus two students recommended by the major elders. But this year, after discussion between the elders and the vice president, we made some changes. ”

The rules of the tournament have changed?

The square was in an uproar, and the sixteen people on the Beiwu platform changed their expressions, this is a rare sight in a thousand years, and they hurriedly calmed down their ears immediately, for fear of missing every word Li Yufeng said.

Seemingly satisfied with everyone's surprise, Li Yufeng smiled slightly, and then continued: "The rules are actually very simple, the venue for the competition is only Beiwutai, among the sixteen of you, whether you fight alone or form an alliance in three or two, in short, as long as you become one of the last ten people left on the martial platform, you will be qualified to enter the Dream Immortal Pool!"

The round of 16 turned out to be a passionate melee!

Plain words, immediately set off a noise, suddenly, the square was full of discussions, after all, such a rule has not been seen for thousands of years, but when you think about it, there are more hidden profound meanings.

A sixteen-person melee is no better than a two-person duel, not only because it will make the battle situation more tragic, but also in a large melee, the weighing of pros and cons and the observation of the overall situation are more important.

Therefore, it can be said that this is not only a simple competition, but also a comprehensive test of cultivation and mind!

Of course, it is more difficult for the contestants, but it is a great blessing for the audience, as soon as they think of more than a dozen Yuan Dan Realm peak and Spirit Vein Realm level powerhouses competing in the same field, everyone's hearts suddenly ignited with fiery expectations, and in just an instant, the stands erupted in hot and fierce cheers.
