Chen Dong went straight out of the main hall after whispering to Chen Nan, and showed a strange smile to Feng Lingtian before leaving.

Feng Lingtian laughed at it, knowing that he must be calculating something for this person to hold a grudge, but he was not too worried, after all, his Chen family's hand was not so long, and he couldn't reach this Heavenly Sword Sect.

Feng Lingtian and his party left the main hall, and the two groups of people parted ways, and Chen Dong and the other four people who had not passed the assessment embarked on the return journey under the leadership of a disciple.

Feng Lingtian and his group of ten people followed Elder Hong to another path, and there were many bamboos on the left and right sides of the path, which were two zhang high, blocking the view on both sides.

The group seemed to hear the clanging sound of iron colliding ahead.

Under the leadership of Elder Hong, everyone walked through the bamboo forest path to a spacious courtyard.

In front of the courtyard was a stone-paved clearing, about the size of a dozen zhang square, surrounded by rooms that looked like places for disciples to live.

When Feng Lingtian came in, he happened to see two people practicing swordsmanship, and there was a circle of people around him.

Among them, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a middle-aged man, wearing the costume of the Heavenly Sword Sect, standing aside, and greeted Elder Hong when he saw him coming.

The man glanced at the crowd behind Elder Hong, and then said with a smile: "Haha, Elder Hong is polite, it seems that there are fewer and fewer people who can meet your requirements, and there are fewer people to bring in this year than last year." ”

The man said as he glanced at the group of ten.

Elder Hong pulled his throat and said: "Elder Sun, this is burying the old man, right? You know the old man's temper, how can the recruitment of this outer disciple be not strict, is it possible to let them stay in the outer gate for the rest of their lives, just pick some qualifications that are not bad, and you will also have a share of credit for being able to enter the inner gate in the future, but don't tell me that you believe in the practice of casting a wide net and collecting more fish, our Heavenly Sword Sect can't lose its value." ”

Elder Sun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, as soon as I tell you, I'll talk at length, you came just in time, see how these two disciples are?" Elder Sun said, pointing to the two disciples who were competing with swords.

Feng Lingtian followed Elder Sun's expectations and found that these two people had reached the middle stage of fusion, one of them was probably cultivating to fuse the fifth fold, and the other was fusing the sixfold, but in terms of the subtlety of swordsmanship alone, in Feng Ling Tian's opinion, the young man who fused the fifth fold was higher.

Elder Hong looked at it for a while and said, "Aren't these the two boys who came here last year, I remember that one is called Li Qing, and I forgot the other one." Elder Hong pointed to the disciple with a higher cultivation level and said.

Elder Sun said on the side: "Yes, Li Qing has put a lot of effort into the past year, and his cultivation is already the most outstanding among this group of disciples, this other person is called Shubai, who was unknown before, but now he is becoming more and more outstanding, I feel that his attainments in swordsmanship may be higher, what do you think?"

Elder Hong looked at it for a while, and nodded silently, just as the two of them fought with a sword, and each bounced away, two feet away.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Haha, Senior Brother Bai seems to have improved a lot, and he can already fight with me on a par with me, it seems that if you cultivate a little more, even I will not be your opponent, and we will divide the victory and defeat in the next move." ”

In Feng Lingtian's opinion, this Li Qing is tall and martial, and he is so awkward to take a sword, if it is paired with a big knife, it is in line with his temperament.

The young man named Shubai, with a slender figure and a weak appearance, a white robe fluttering in the wind, a little dusty and elegant, and the cold light sword in his hand is very matched.

Shubai smiled slightly and said: "Senior Brother Li has a good reputation, or Senior Brother usually gives good guidance, it just so happens that recently Senior Brother I have learned a sword style again, and I also have some skills, so I will give my senior brother some advice." ”

Li Qing laughed and said, "Okay, come on, we will do our best in the next move, and one move will determine the winner." ”

Shubai answered and began to gather strength, Feng Lingtian stood in the crowd, using his magical ability to secretly observe.

He saw the Yuan Force in Shu Bai's whole body flowing through his arm to the long sword in his hand, and this part of the Yuan Force was still shining with a faint silver light.

Those yuan forces first poured into the long sword to fill the entire sword body, and the subsequent yuan power was like a cascade, constantly reinforced, superimposed on the previous yuan force, but the silver light was gone, and after just a few breaths, three layers had been superimposed, and with a light sound from Shubai, a bright sword light broke out from the sword body and went straight to Li Qing.

Li Qing is also a long sword, and the whole person swings his sword and dances in place, every time he changes his move, a sword light will fly out, and he can only see his afterimage in the same place while dancing the sword.

Five sword lights flew out one after another, and the last one even carried a trace of thunder light, and it was about to collide with the sword light emitted by Shu Bai.

Elder Sun looked at Feng Lingtian with a little meaning at this time and asked, "What do you think of the victory or defeat of the two?"

Feng Lingtian smiled and said, "I think that the one called Shubai is even more capable of sword, and the number of wins and losses is five or five." ”

Hearing this, Elder Hong glanced at Feng Ling Tian, and instead said: "I think Li Qing has a better chance of winning, after all, his cultivation is higher, this book is still too tender, even if this sword qi is accumulated for a long time, it is difficult to compete with Li Qing's five realms, and you can see that his last sword qi contains thunder attribute yuan power." ”

Elder Sun laughed and said, "Haha, I think this Li Qinghang, whether he cultivates to make a living, or he doesn't know how to be flexible, this book is a good seedling." It seems that someone will be able to win glory for you in the next inner door assessment. ”

Just as a few people were talking, the first sword qi sent out by Li Qing had already collided with Shubai's sword qi, just when everyone thought that the two would explode.

Shubai's sword qi actually broke through Li Qing's sword qi in just one shot, and continued to move forward like a broken bamboo, and then clashed with the second line that shot out.

It's just that the result is still the same, Li Qing's second sword qi was dispersed after only holding on for a breath, and Shu Bai's sword qi at this time seemed to be slightly vibrating, and when he collided with the third sword qi, he saw another sword qi coming out of it, which looked smaller than the first one, but more condensed and translucent.

When they collided with the third sword qi, the stalemate between the two had already begun to prolong, but the result was that Shubai's sword qi was slightly superior.

Then there was the fourth sword qi, and after this time, although it was still Shubai's sword qi that won, this sword qi seemed to be directly shattered, revealing a silver-white sword light.

Just when everyone was talking and marveling at Shu Bai's control of the moves, Li Qing's last sword qi wrapped around the power of the slightest thunder collided with Shu Bai's silver-white sword qi.

I saw that the two sword lights were stalemate for about two or three breaths, and a strong wind was set off on the flat ground, accompanied by a crackling sound, and it could be found that the slightest thunder light split on the surrounding ground, leaving a few scorched black marks.

The confrontation was fleeting, and the sword qi of Shubai in the end was the first to dissipate in the air, and Li Qing's sword qi continued to rush forward weakly, but it gradually faded into intangibility just after flying out of a distance, and it seemed that the yuan force in it was also dissolved in the last confrontation.

At this time, Li Qing's hearty laughter came and said: "Hahaha, Senior Brother Bai is really powerful, if it weren't for my slight improvement in cultivation, I can't compare to you in the same cultivation, Senior Brother admires!"

After finishing speaking, he put away his sword and walked towards Elder Sun, Shubai just smiled faintly when he heard this, without too much expression, he hugged Li Qing and retreated to Elder Sun's side.

Elder Sun smiled and said: "Li Qing, you see that your junior brother Shubai can make rapid progress, you also have to work harder, and in a few months it will be the day of the inner door assessment, you two are the most hopeful of our Southern Academy, this time you will win glory for our Southern Academy." ”

At this time, Feng Lingtian asked with some confusion, "Elder Hong, is there still a few courtyards in this outer gate?"

Before Elder Hong could speak, Elder Sun hurriedly said: "Yes, do you think that the huge Heavenly Sword Sect will only recruit disciples from a few of you, the outer gate is divided into five courtyards, southeast, northwest and middle, among which the middle courtyard is the strongest, followed by the east, west and north courtyards, and our southern courtyard is the last, I said Elder Hong, don't be too strict in accepting people in the future, our southern courtyard is less than the other four courtyards in terms of numbers, although you have always said that you don't pick the essence and not the fat, but if we have few people in the southern courtyard, many things are not easy to do." ”

Elder Hong smiled and said: "It's useless to talk more, if you are good enough, what's the use of having a lot of them, by the way, this time I can find two disciples with excellent talents, one is the girl, and the other is this kid, he broke the record of the old man's assessment, and cut off the wooden stake with a sword." ”

As soon as Elder Hong said this, everyone's eyes turned to Feng Lingtian and looked at him curiously.
