The first level is a scuffle.

Do not deliberately hurt people's lives, in addition, you can use your magical powers at will, which is a test of strength, but it is also a test of wisdom.

Only the last two people in each group will enter the ranking, and the rest will be eliminated, that is to say, the ranking of this martial arts will start from two hundred and fifty-six, and if it is more dependent on the latter, it will be nameless.

This list is known as the Xuanwu list.

Han Shi smiled slightly, such an arrangement was by no means casually arranged, he could see at a glance that the dozens of people with the strongest strength were not in the same group, but were evenly separated and integrated into each group, so that the final result could roughly reflect the real strength.

It's just that when he saw the first law enforcement seat, Han Shi could think that there must be some cattiness in it.

If this cat is related to him, he will use the results to tell the person behind the scenes that his calculation of Han Shi is just a joke.

Han Shi's superficial cultivation was controlled by him at the Ningyuan Sevenfold, and this cultivation was in second place in this group, and the person with the highest cultivation in the same group had reached the Ningyuan Eightfold.

This person was dressed in black, and his gestures exuded a terrifying momentum, and the cultivation of the remaining eighteen people was between two and six.

After cultivating to reach the triple level of Ning Yuan, you can practice the art of the sword, which is similar to the method of taking objects, but the threshold of the sword technique is lower, and the effect is fast, so it is naturally more popular with disciples.

In the cultivation path, there are many key dividing lines, which is the Ning Yuan Triple Layer, which is why miscellaneous disciples, if they cannot reach the Ning Yuan Triple within ten years, they will be repatriated to their hometowns.

Now there are still only one or two disciples in cultivation, and before this sect competition, they can feel more and more pressure from all sides, and they know very well that this competition, with their cultivation, must be just a foil.

It's just, who would be willing to be a foil?

This is the cruelty of the path of monasticism, and this cruelty will be gradually magnified with the passage of time.

They are either brutally knocked down, or they are made to feel cruel to others.

Han Shi's group was one of the first groups to start, and an elder stood aside as a supervisor, and if something unexpected, this person would take action.

The melee is not a duel between the two, Han Shi's group, when the melee began, everyone was silent for a while, and they were very vigilant against each other, and in the case of unknown opponents, it may be the best way to remain silent.

It's just that in this silence, the pressure between the minds will also increase.

Finally, one of them couldn't bear it anymore and chose to make a move, and the next moment, several flying swords flashed, attacking each other.

In this group, there are three people who only have two cultivations, and they can't resist the sword, so they only hold the sword in their hands and urge the vitality in their bodies to resist the enemy, but if this method is against mortal warriors, it is quite powerful, and it is used to deal with monks who can resist the sword, and this method is naturally too unbearable.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't deliberately hurt people's lives, these three people would have died on the spot in less than one breath, and even then, only five breaths later, these three people were injured by flying swords, bleeding profusely, and they were taken by the elder with vitality and withdrew from the melee.

Time passed, as people continued to withdraw, there were still six people left in this group, four of whom were Ning Yuan Sixfold, these four people were grouped back to back in a circle, and the four flying swords were connected to one another, forming a ring, protecting the four people to spin and fly beside them.

The four of them looked at Han Shi on the side vigilantly, as well as the black-clothed disciple of Ning Yuan Eightfold.

In their eyes, although Han Shi was a seven-fold Ning Yuan, it was more difficult to deal with than the black-clothed disciples who had cultivated eightfold, and their flying swords, as long as they flew towards Han Shi, when they approached Han Shi, they would feel a sense of viscosity, as if they were stuck in a quagmire, almost out of control.

Moreover, Han Shi's feet are like oil, and the speed is extremely fast, often their flying swords attack, but there is always a slight difference, and they are avoided by this person.

If they hadn't joined forces, they would have been defeated at this moment.

The four of them glanced at each other, and secretly made a decision, if the four of them had infighting, all four of them would lose.

Cooperation is beneficial to both parties, and division is harmful to both.

They naturally understand this truth, although there are contradictions between them, but if they can't work together at this moment, they will inevitably lose their last chance.

There are only 256 people on the Xuanwu list, and their hope is to be on the list, so they must not lose now.

Their only hope is to work together to defeat Han Shi and the black-clothed disciple, and then, the four of them will compete for the top two with their own abilities, otherwise, they will definitely miss the Xuanwu List.

The Xuanwu List represents the cultivation ranking of this generation of disciples, the strength and weakness of the peak where they are located, and their own status, and it is also a supreme glory.

Therefore, it must not be discarded.

The area of Fanchen Valley is very wide, such as the situation of Han Shi's group, and there are seven groups that are also in the competition.

The closer to the final point of separating the winner or loser, there will be a few people with slightly lower cultivation who choose to hold together, just like these four people, this is a choice in desperation, and it is also the way for the weak to survive.

Han Shi glanced at the black-clothed disciple of Ning Yuan Eightfold, his face was calm, and he said: "Only two people are taken in a group, in this current situation, if you and I join forces and win steadily, what do you think?"

"The goal of the four of them is you, not me, why should I join forces with you?" the black-clothed disciple glanced at Han Shi with a sneer.

"If you don't want to, I will join forces with them in the future, drive you out first, and then decide the winner, my cultivation is not much different from theirs, they will definitely be willing to join forces with me, and your cultivation of Ning Yuan Eightfold is too dangerous for them. Han Shi's gaze was calm, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The black-clothed disciple's eyes flickered, he groaned for a while, and snorted coldly: "I will cooperate with you once today, if you have two hearts, I will hit you hard if I fail, don't make mistakes." ”

Han Shi actually didn't need to join forces with the black-clothed disciples, if he wanted to deal with the four people in front of him, as long as he used the technique of spiritual sense petrification, turned a trace of spiritual sense into a needle, and then petrified it, saw the right time, and attacked their sea of consciousness, the four of them would immediately lose their combat power.

It's just that in that case, it's too weird, and in front of everyone's eyes, it will definitely be tracked down by the sect, and now joining forces with this black-clothed disciple is just a cover-up.

The two of them decided to join forces, and the four of them suddenly felt pressured, and after a stick of incense, the phalanx composed of four people finally couldn't withstand the repeated bombardment of the two, revealing a gap, and was caught by the black-clothed disciple, knocking the four to the ground almost at the same time.

Han Shi and the black-clothed disciple passed the melee, which also means that on the Xuanwu list, there will be the names of these two.

The black-clothed disciple looked at Han Shi's back, the jealousy in his eyes gradually thickened, when the two joined forces just now, he had a feeling that this Han Shi actually didn't need to join forces with him at all, and his strength alone was enough to defeat those four people.

And his last lightning blow was also due to Han Shi creating an excellent opportunity, which caused an obvious flaw in the cooperation between the four people, and he seized the opportunity.

He even had an inexplicable sense of happiness, if there was only one person left in this group, he would have to compete with Han Shi, and he actually felt a cold sweat in his palms, and he was not the slightest sure about defeating Han Shi.

It was only when he faced those foundation-building seniors that he would feel like this.

Time passed, and the dust of the melee of the one hundred and twenty-eight groups settled, except for a few groups of upsets, the core disciples of the peaks, all of whom were expected, entered the top two hundred and fifty-six.

After some discussion with the elders, Xuanyangzi divided the two hundred and fifty-six people into sixteen districts, with exactly sixteen people in each district, competing in pairs, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated.

The ranking of this Xuanwu list is not fixed, after the great competition of the sect, in the next five years, anyone can challenge the person at the top of the ranking, if they win, they will be replaced, if they lose, the ranking will drop by one place.

This kind of challenge is also an ancestral teaching, and for all disciples, it is a spur.

Han Shi was divided into the last group, the sixteenth group, for him, in fact, no matter which group he was in, there was no difference, but these sixteen groups had an advantage, he could wait for the results of the first fifteen groups and observe his future opponents first.

Three days later, bursts of cheers suddenly came from the valley, the sound was mainly from the disciples of Shui Ling Peak and Zhengxuan Peak, these two peaks were ranked outside the top ten in the past, but this time, there were disciples from both peaks who won and entered the top sixteen, which was unimaginable in the past.

And more disciples have sad faces, the peaks to which these disciples belong, none of them have advanced to the top sixteen, and in the next five years, the ranking of the peaks they belong to will inevitably be lower, and when they say it, there is always a feeling of being pressed by someone.

Xuanyang Ziye Chen and Great Elder Yang Fei both looked indifferent, the established candidates in their hearts were all in the top sixteen as expected, and then, the battle really began.

In the eyes of all, the sixteenth group began.

Han Shi appeared in ninth place, and his opponent No. 10 was a red-faced strong man with a plate axe in his hand, giving people a rugged appearance.

"The next one, nine against ten. ”

Han Shi's face was as usual, and he took a step forward, and beside him, there was a brilliant short sword spinning, exuding a terrifying sharp meaning.

The red-faced strong man roared in a low voice, raised the plate axe and rushed towards Han Shi, the momentum was like a tiger descending from the mountain, shaking people's hearts, Han Shi pointed his finger at the red-faced strong man, and the short sword was under a certain order, and suddenly disappeared in place, turned into a streamer, and stabbed away.

In less than three breaths, the short sword and the plate axe clashed dozens of times, and the defense of the red-faced strong man was not leaky, and for a while, Han Shi was helpless.

As soon as he looked at his face, he was completely suppressed, and the red-faced strong man's face became even redder, and with a loud shout, a raging flame spit out from his mouth, turning into a ball of fire several zhang in size, completely covering Han Shi.

The temperature of this flame was extremely high, and before he got close, Han Shi felt a burning breath surging towards him, his face changed, he stepped on the gossip step under his feet, and quickly retreated, so that he could dodge.
