Chapter 64: Xiaobi Begins
On the first day of November in the fifteenth year of Daqin, the novice village officially began. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoThe location is in the main square of Yingxian Peak, where the opening ceremony was held.
At the beginning, the small competition was not intense at all, it was a variety of skill tests, classified tests. Shang Bai majored in swordsmanship, so he tested it with many younger brothers and sisters who learned swordsmanship. The method of testing is very simple - many people stand side by side at the end of a straight line, with their swords stuck at the end of the line, and they are not allowed to touch the sword with their hands, to see who can make the sword farther away.
Such a naΓ―ve test is Xiaobi, who everyone has been nervous about for so long, Shang Bai felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
But he soon learned that this was just the preliminary round. The purpose of the preliminary round is to select the top 100 winners in each category and then move on to the semi-finals, which is when the confrontation begins. The semi-finals and finals since then have been bloody and bloody.
Asking those who are majoring in the cultivation of pill talisman to fight with the disciples of the main cultivation body or the imperial sword seems to be a bit of a bully. But in this cultivation realm where strength is respected, having strong force is the most important thing, and there is no way to be unfair. A sect must always have its focus.
If you want to talk about the art of the sword, in the entire novice village, Shang Bai said that no one dared to say the first. His divine sense is already stronger than that of his peers, not to mention that his cultivation is also high. In the test of Edgeworth, while he retained his strength, he still won the first place without any suspense.
Because there are many people in the novice village, it takes several days for a primary election to determine the results. After Shang Bai finished the test, he didn't wait for the results to come out, so he went back to Canglan Valley to prepare for the rematch.
A few days later, the results of the preliminary round came out, and he was the first in the preliminary round of the Edgeworth. Among the 800 members of the Tianji Society, he alone entered the top 100 in the preliminary round of the Edgeworth category and obtained the qualification to participate in the semi-finals.
However, ten people from the Guard Department entered the top 100 of the Body Refining Category, and in addition to King Kong and Hong Zhi, the two leaders of the Guard Department with the highest status, there were also eight backbones who were also squeezed in. King Kong even made it to the top five, finishing fourth.
Among the major clubs in the Novice Village, the Tianji Academy has the largest number of people cultivating alchemy - it was originally an unpopular category, and there were less than a thousand people cultivating this kind of society, and the Tianji Academy accounted for one-tenth. So it's no surprise that this result has been achieved.
In the test of the pill class, five people from the Dan Medicine Department of the Tianji Society entered the semi-finals, and Lei Wuyang from the Logistics Department actually squeezed into the top 100 people in the Dan Medicine Department with a good hand of fried vegetables. However, after these few enter the semi-finals, they will use soy sauce as cannon fodder, and those who major in pills should not expect to have too strong combat effectiveness.
The biggest gain of the Dan Medicine Department is that Qiu Chongdao, who was young, actually won the first place in the Dan medicine test. He was born as a medicine boy, he had a certain understanding of the pill itself, and he had enough medicinal materials to try his hand at alchemy, so it was not so surprising to achieve this result.
I don't know if Qiu Chongdao has any special preferences at a young age, the elixir he won the first place in the test is the breast enhancement and beauty pill developed by himself. However, when Shang Bai made fun of him, Qiu Chongdao rolled his eyes at him: "Isn't it because you like that, boss? Many young ladies in the company said that you fell in love with others because of that sister-in-law's big breasts, so they clamored for me to refine a pill like that." β
It's no wonder that the chastity chain has begun to occur frequently again during this period of time, and it is clear that spring has not yet come.
Shang Bai Zhengse said: "Don't listen to those young ladies, don't give them this kind of elixir that is useless for cultivation." β
There are also more people majoring in talismans, second only to the Edgeworth, and the competition is fierce. In this category, there are five people in the Talisman Department of the Tianji Society who are in the top 100, which can be regarded as a very good result. Ning Rong did not enter the top ten, but the ranking was not low, fifteenth.
Outside of the Tianji Society, among the people Shang Bai knew, Pan Xueer squeezed into the top ten of the sword category, ranking fifth. Xie Chongming was only ranked eighteenth in the sword category, and he thought he had retained his strength. Chen Li also entered the top 10 in the Edgeworth category, ranking eighth. The boss of the Jingzhao Society is in the sixty-seventh place in the Edgeworth category, which is puzzling. Of course, this is nothing, because the most powerful in the novice village, and the boss of the Heavenly Dragon Society, who is also the one with the highest call to win the championship, ranks 95th in the sword category, so he has not fallen out of the top 100.
Many people said that they couldn't understand this ranking.
Meng Zhaohui did not participate in the sword test, he participated in the body refining test, and his ranking was second. Above him was a teenager who had not joined any club, and his name was Li Hongpao.
The body refining class tests various physical abilities, and if someone can beat Li Hongpao, then it is really a ghost.
After the results of the preliminary round came out, I rested for two days and then started the semi-finals. There were a total of 400 disciples in the four categories, and a fierce elimination confrontation began.
The semi-final is divided into two rounds of confrontation, the first round is 400 into 200, by the sword class against the refining class, and the talisman class against the elixir class. The opponent is decided by drawing lots, with the winner advancing to the second round and the loser eliminating.
In the second round, the 100 people who won the sword class and the body refining class fought against the 100 people who won the talisman class and the pill class, and it was also a battle to determine the winner, the winner was promoted, and the loser was eliminated.
There are twenty large rings set up in the main square, and each ring has a Jindan disciple and two Zhuji disciples sent by the inner gate to press the stage, one is to evaluate the victory or defeat, and the other is to prevent accidents. Two of the five elders of the outer gate were also present to control the overall situation. The importance that Mixed Yuan Kendo attaches to Xiaobi can also be seen from this.
"Thirty-five is here. β
Three rounds later, this voice came from the fifth stage. Shang Bai, who had been waiting in the audience for a long time, picked up his number plate and walked into the ring very easily.
He drew the number 35 of the Edgeworth group, and he was going to fight against the number 35 of the refining group.
There were a large number of spectators under the ring, all of whom were disciples who had been eliminated in the preliminary round. When they saw Shang Bai appearing on the stage, they let out bursts of cheers:
"Big brother is finally going to play!"
"Come and see the big brother show his style!"
"Big brother will win!"
"Big brother is invincible!"
"Senior brother, I love you, I want to dedicate my youth to you!"
As the elder brother of this year's outer door, Shang Bai is the favorite to win the championship this time. Especially after another favorite, Long Jianyin, got a score of 95 in the group, he became the most popular candidate to win the championship. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of a large movie.
Opposite him was the disciple of the refining group who had also drawn the thirty-fifth number. That disciple saw that his opponent was actually Senior Brother Shang Bai, the favorite to win the championship, his face was quite bitter, and he barely squeezed out a smile, hugged his fists and said, "Senior Brother, please be merciful to your subordinates." β
Against Shang Bai, he really has no chance of winning at all, so he can only hope that Shang Bai's men will show mercy.
Shang Bai smiled and said, "I also ask this junior brother to be merciful to your subordinates." β
The disciple's heart was even more bitter, and he thought, "Can a person like me only be 'this junior brother', and can't he leave a name?"
But he knows Shang Bai because Shang Bai is everyone's elder brother, and everyone is in the limelight. And he himself was just one of the thousands of unknown disciples, and Shang Bai had no obligation to know him.
The Jindan disciple who suppressed the ring waved his hand: "Begin!"
When the disciple heard the voice, he pounced on Shang Bai and wanted to fight him in close quarters. He knew that he could not be Shang Bai's opponent in the competition, and the chance to win was to rely on the superior physical functions of his body refining cultivators to fight with him.
The art of refining the body was born out of secular martial arts, and the main purpose was to make the body stronger, focusing on martial arts, and more suitable for close combat. The sword technique uses the magic power of divine consciousness to resist the sword, which hurts people beyond ten zhang, and is more suitable for long-range combat. I have to say that that disciple's choice was correct.
If he faced an ordinary Edgeworth disciple, he might have succeeded. It's a pity that he is facing Shang Bai.
When Shang Bai confronted the members of the Heavenly Machine Sect, he generally suppressed the realm in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and at the same time dealt with the opponents of several main cultivators of the Guardian Department.
He was quite experienced in dealing with body refining disciples.
When the disciple pounced, his footsteps slipped and he retreated. At the same time as retreating, his hands were raised, and dozens of fireballs blocked the castration of that disciple, and when the disciple avoided the fireball, a sharp sword had already hung in front of him, no more than a few inches away from his throat.
He lost.
In the eyes of the audience, it was that disciple who pounced on Shang Bai, and before he could reach anyone, he was already held by Shang Bai's imperial envoy Guiyuan Sword against his throat, and then the battle was over.
As for the dozens of fireballs, it was just equivalent to Shang Bai putting a special effect by the way.
The Jindan disciple who pressed the ring shouted "start" The voice had just fallen, and it was still steaming outside, and this was the end.
"It's boring. β
"Fake hits. β
"You asked me to come here to see this?"
The crowd of onlookers expressed their dissatisfaction.
The Jindan disciple who pressed the stage coughed and announced: "In the fourth round of the No. 5 ring, Shang Bai, a disciple of the imperial sword class, won!"
Shang Bai Shi Shi Ran ended. The next two hundred into one hundred competition will be three days later, and he can practice well for a few more days.
In another ring, Long Jianyin, the boss of the Tianlong Society, who was dressed in white and had a relaxed and chic demeanor, faced a burly body refining monk, and he greeted him very casually: "Hello, my name is Long Jianyin, you should have heard of me, right?"
The big man didn't think he was good at all. His goal is to enter the top 100 in the Novice Village, and he is also confident that he will defeat Long Jianyin. But the problem is that Long Jianyin is not just Long Jianyin, he is also the boss of the Heavenly Dragon Society, and he is the clansman of Long Fei, the elder of the inner gate.
So the question arises - how can he lose in order to lose decently?
Long Jianyin introduced himself to himself: "If you haven't heard of it, then I can tell you that I am the founder of the Heavenly Dragon Society. I'm a person, I have clear grievances and grievances, and I am happy to live, and people give me a nickname - happy and vengeful dragon sword yin - that is, I have kindness and revenge, and I have revenge, and I repay it very quickly. β
The poor big man was almost in tears, he wanted to say, "Big brother, don't scare me, let's fight, I promise not to win you!"
