Chapter 62: Screening
Han Aoxue left the Witch Doctor Sect, and Haoyan didn't want to stay too long, so he said goodbye to Ma Tianfeng and Ma Tianyu, and followed Qiu Yifan to leave the Witch Doctor Sect.
Returning to Guimen, Haoyan went to meet Tianyisan and the head Yan Kuan, and then returned to Dange.
In the Dan Pavilion, at this moment, only Wang Xueshuang is still a first-grade Dan master, and the others are still studying hard.
Ordinary days are always a little depressing, for three or four months in a row, Haoyan's alchemy attainments have always stayed at the fourth grade of the Dan Master, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building.
However, after the dullness, something always happened, Yan Kuan summoned all the elders to the council hall to discuss the matter of the Xiuzhen Alliance meeting, and Haoyan was also invited.
Yan Kuan sat in the first place in the hall, looked at everyone, and said politely: "The Xiuzhen Alliance Conference is coming, we must fight for that ranking this time, you don't know if there is a suitable candidate."
"The question of candidates, I think it should be carefully screened, in previous years, we always failed to rank in the Gui Yi, just because we were directly named, this time I propose to conduct a screening competition in the Gui Yimen" Elder Qingquan spoke first and put forward his own opinions.
Yan Kuan heard it and nodded slightly: "I think it's feasible."
Tianyi Sanren also spoke at this moment: "Senior Brother Qingquan's proposal is very good, we will conduct a screening first, and we are also responsible for the disciples, and we can't bury some potential disciples."
"What Senior Brother said is very true, the opportunity must be given to everyone" Elder Linglong also agreed with Qingquan's opinion at this time.
The others basically didn't have any opinions, and Haoyan sat at the very end, and even gave up the right to speak, after all, he came here to participate because of the establishment of the Dan Pavilion.
However, Hao Yan didn't want to speak, but Yan Kuan just opened his mouth and asked: "Hao Yan, do you have any opinions, you are in line with the disciples who participated in the Xiuzhen Alliance Conference, so your opinion is the most convincing."
When Hao Yan heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Master, I am not familiar with this Xiuzhen Alliance Conference, so I don't know what to do!" But I think what Uncle Qingquan said makes sense, this is an opportunity to show, and more disciples should be given to understand and participate in it, even if they can't be selected, at least they have worked hard."
Yan Kuan nodded: "Since everyone agrees to the screening, then we will conduct an internal screening, and now there are three months before the Xiuzhen Alliance Conference, so we have enough time."
All the elders in the council hall looked at Yan Kuan, waiting for the following.
"I think Senior Brother Qingquan will be in charge of the screening this time?" Yan Kuan directly wanted Elder Qingquan who put forward the opinion to be in charge of the screening.
Elder Qingquan did not raise any objections, and the others were also silent at the moment, Yan Kuan saw this, and said with a smile: "Since everyone has no opinions, then it is decided, and a notice will be issued tomorrow, and the elimination competition will start in three days."
The decision was made, the discussion was over, and Haoyan actually wanted to participate in it, one was to see it, and the other was to see Han Aoxue again.
So after leaving the council hall, Hao Yan found Tianyi Sanren, "Master, this time the Xiuzhen Alliance Conference, the disciple also wants to participate" Hao Yan stood in the cloud pavilion of Tianyi Sanren and said to Tianyi Sanren.
Tianyi Sanren looked at Hao Yan and said with a smile: "Hao Yan, you have to know what your identity is now, but you are not an ordinary disciple, but the Dan Pavilion Master, the same identity as the elders of each Pavilion, those disciples will teach you a Pavilion Master or Uncle when they see you!"
Hao Yan heard the words of Tianyi Sanren, and knew that this was his master who loved him, but Hao Yan was not a flower in a greenhouse, and said with a kind of stubbornness: "Although the disciple is the master of the Dan Pavilion Pavilion, his cultivation is only a foundation building monk, and the disciple hopes to get more gains at the Xiuzhen Alliance Conference."
Tianyisan knew Haoyan's temper, shook his head, and said with a smile: "You want to go as a teacher and not stop you, but you are not going as a disciple, you can follow Elder Qingquan and be Elder Qingquan's assistant."
"But if you don't compete on stage, how can the disciple know his catties?"
"This matter is so decided, it is useless to say more" Tianyisanren looked at Haoyan and said directly.
Now that Tianyi Sanren has decided, Haoyan has no choice but to go to the Xiuzhen Alliance Conference as Elder Qingquan's assistant.
This time, the internal screening has begun, and there are nearly 100 disciples who participate, and it is also in accordance with the requirements of the Xiuzhen Alliance, that is, disciples who have cultivated to the foundation building cultivation within a hundred years can participate.
To put it bluntly, this Xiuzhen Alliance conference is actually a test of the new star disciples to see how many potential disciples there are in the Xiuzhen Alliance.
However, there were no disciples in the Dan Pavilion to participate, because these people were all told by the original master that they must learn alchemy.
And Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang can't participate in this screening because they haven't built a foundation yet.
Hao Yan went to the competition ring area alone to watch the battle, because Hao Yan's identity is also at the elder level in Guiyimen, so when he entered the ring competition area, Hao Yan sat with Elder Qingquan.
"Haoyan, I heard that your master said that you also want to participate in the competition," Elder Qingquan looked at Haoyan and said with a smile.
"The disciple really wanted to, but the master didn't let him, and only let him be your assistant to go to the Xiuzhen Alliance Conference."
"Hahaha! Isn't your master afraid that you will make a mistake!"
"But in that case, wouldn't it be very slow for my cultivation to improve, and my cultivation should still be improved in battle, otherwise what's the use of having empty cultivation?"
Haoyan's words are very reasonable, how could Elder Qingquan not know, but Haoyan is a Dan Master, and it is a baby bump for Guiyimen, if something goes wrong, no one can afford to be responsible, so Elder Qingquan can only say: "It's the same to watch the battle!"
Haoyan was speechless, so he had to sit on the stage and watch the competition of the disciples in the ring.
Due to the large number of people, a total of five places were set up in the competition ring, and five people were eliminated each time.
Haoyan sat next to Elder Qingquan, looking a little itchy, so he decided to hide his identity and test his strength in the ring.
"Uncle Shi, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, let's go back to the Dongfu Dange to deal with it first"
When Elder Qingquan heard this, his brows furrowed: "My stomach is uncomfortable, okay!
This reason is extremely far-fetched, a foundation building monk, or a Dan master, actually has an uncomfortable stomach, and anyone will be puzzled.
But for a while, Elder Qingquan couldn't see any move from Haoyan, so he had to agree.
Back at Dange, Haoyan didn't pay attention to anyone, and went directly into his room, changed into a set of clothes, and put on a mask to cover most of his face.
Looking at his appearance in front of the bronze mirror, Haoyan smiled: "No one should know this way, hahaha!
Thinking of this, Hao Yan became excited, he hadn't moved his muscles for too long, the most important thing was the special nature of his identity, only some sparring partners dared to fight with him, and these people were all letting themselves, which made Hao Yan very depressed, a rare opportunity, Hao Yan would never miss it.
Not long after, Haoyan chose a ring far away from Elder Qingquan and stood under the stage to watch the competition.
At this time, there were two mid-foundation building monks on the stage, and they had already exchanged dozens of moves without winning or losing.
The disciples of the two pavilions below are already desperately shouting and cheering.
"Come on, Senior Brother Wan, you will definitely be able to defeat your opponent"
"Come on, Senior Brother Hou, we support you"
Haoyan watched the moves of the two carefully in the audience, and already had a rough idea of whether he could defeat these two.
After a pillar of incense, the monk surnamed Hou was kicked by the monk surnamed Hou because he was careless, and the whole person flew out upside down.
The audience immediately burst into cheers, and the referee on the stage shouted: "Lingyun Pavilion Wan Zhenghong wins"
Seeing that the opportunity had come, Haoyan smiled at the corners of his mouth, but no one could see him with a mask.
Just when the referee shouted who would challenge, Haoyan was the first to step into the ring.
When the referee saw it, he immediately said, "Report your name."
"Haotian, Tianyi Pavilion"
"Tianyi Pavilion Haotian, why haven't I heard of you?"
Haoyan hurriedly said: "I have been away all the year round and rarely come back, this time I was called back by my senior brother."
The referee hesitated, but Wan Zhenghong arched his hand at Haoyan: "Lingyun Pavilion Wan Zhenghong"
Haoyan also arched his hand to it, and the two of them were ready to make a move, and the referee saw this, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Haoyan's identity, anyway, the one who could come to participate in the competition must be a disciple.
"The competition begins," the referee shouted directly.
Wan Zhenghong pulled out his weapon, a scimitar, extremely fierce, and slashed directly at Haoyan's door.
Seeing this, Haoyan didn't dare to slack off, knowing that the other party's cultivation was not weak, he also took out a weapon sickle.
Both of them used a fierce route, only to hear a crisp sound of "poof", the weapons collided, Haoyan and Wan Zhenghong each took four or five steps back and stood firm.
Haoyan was shocked: This kid is not weak, it seems that I can't shout.
Wan Zhenghong was not shocked by Haoyan's cultivation, but he didn't think too much about it, and continued to attack with his knife, and now Wan Zhenghong wanted to defeat the opponent in front of him as soon as possible.
Hao Yan saw Wan Zhenghong attacking again, and smiled, this time Hao Yan chose to avoid his edge.
I saw Hao Yan stepping on Lingyun to avoid Wan Zhenghong's attack, but Wan Zhenghong was extremely aggressive, and the whole person rushed forward to kill because of inertia, but Hao Yan had already arrived behind him, and Wan Zhenghong wanted to turn around to resist Hao Yan's sickle attacked from behind.
In a panic, he drew his knife and blocked back, but where could this block block Haoyan's sickle.
The "click" knife was broken, and the "poof" Wan Zhenghong spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew out upside down, and flew directly off the ring.
"You're too weak"
The referee looked at Haoyan's shot, although he was a little surprised, he didn't show it, and said directly: "Tianyi Pavilion Haotian victory"
"Who is going to participate in the challenge, it is the last one of the day, if no one participates in the challenge, then today's competition in the fifth ring is over, and it will continue tomorrow"
After the referee finished speaking, he glanced at the audience, Haoyan was also looking forward to someone coming on stage, but after half a cup of tea, no one came to the stage to compete.
The referee shook his head: "Today's competition in the fifth ring is over, and the competition will continue tomorrow, everyone will disperse!"
As the referee's voice fell, Haoyan left the ring, and the people in the audience also dispersed.
