Chapter 33: The Opening

In late autumn, the fog is heavy, and there is a slight chill in the cold and humid air of the early morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven so, before dawn, many people have already gotten up.

Maybe it's because the next race has left the youngsters so excited that they can't sleep, or maybe it's because they'll have to spend some time getting from where they are staying to the ethereal peak.

The mountains are wonderful all the way, but they have no intention of appreciating it, and everyone's thoughts have been placed on this martial arts rookie meeting. And among all of this, the most exciting thing for these young people is the news that Luo Qingxue is here.

Thinking that this time they might be lucky enough to see the cold fairy and the ethereal fairy in the "two immortals and one demon" in today's rivers and lakes at the same time, their excitement can no longer be described in words. One by one, they were full of energy, and rushed towards the ethereal peak like chicken blood, and the posture only hated the old lady and gave birth to two legs for them, not eight.

When the sun was just shining on the ethereal peak, there were already a lot of people gathered in the main square. A large group of Ethereal Peak's disciples and miscellaneous servants are busy building the competition platforms for this martial arts rookie competition, these platforms have been built since half a month ago, and today they are finally officially completed.

There are seven wooden platforms about one zhang high and ten zhang square in length and width. Standing in the center of the square, you can see the situation on the stage clearly from any direction.

Unlike the attitude of others who hurried up the mountain, Yang Xiaofeng walked slowly, and he always walked very slowly in crowded places.

Unlike those who ran up the mountain, he walked very steadily, and after slowly stepping up the first step, he paused slightly, and then followed up the next step after a while. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, or that there was nothing to make him anxious.

At this time, going up the mountain is just waiting, so what's wrong with walking slowly, along the way you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains leisurely, and you can avoid boring waiting, which is really a very pleasant thing.

However, no matter how far the distance is, no matter how slow you go, as long as you keep walking, there will definitely be a time to go.

When Yang Xiaofeng walked to the peak, the seven huge stages had been completely set up, and the young people who had been waiting for a long time were somewhat impatient. Young people used to be very active, but now they are at the top of the ethereal peak, so they are more strictly controlled, and they can't wander around at will, which is really dissatisfying. However, although these people are angry in their hearts, it is difficult to come out.

Of course, in fact, he didn't dare to have a seizure, but no one has dared to go wild in the Ethereal Peak.

After waiting for a long time, the relevant personnel from the Ethereal Peak finally came out to talk to everyone.

I saw a group of ordinary disciples slowly entering the arena like stars holding the moon, and went straight to the fourth stage in the middle. The man jumped lightly and got on the stage, dressed as a scholar in a light green robe, who was it not Duanmu Xuan.

Duanmu Xuan first looked around the field, and then waited for a while, then said a little humbly: "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, Duanmu Xuan is here to apologize to everyone."

As he spoke, he bowed down and saluted everyone in the audience, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "I don't like to beat around the bush, since everyone is here for the martial arts rookie meeting, let me talk about the relevant matters of this martial arts rookie meeting."

As soon as these words came out, the noise on the field immediately quieted down. Obviously, that's the real topic next.

Duanmu Xuan continued: "I think everyone has heard of the rules of the previous martial arts rookie meeting. Although this martial arts rookie meeting is to give the young juniors a stage to show their strength, but there are talented people in the country, and the number of young heroes who come to participate in the martial arts rookie meeting this time is too many, but the number of places in the martial arts rookie meeting is limited after all, and most of the limited places are all occupied by the children of the family, leaving only a small part of the places for the scattered children. Whether or not these scattered children can play is determined by luck, which is somewhat unfair to many people."

Everyone in the audience was very disgusted by Duanmu Xuan's words, or they were very disgusted by the hypocrisy of these so-called famous factions.

Duanmu Xuan continued: "In order to give everyone a chance to play, this time the martial arts rookie will change the old system, no longer let everyone draw lots by luck, but change to a mixed game. The first three days will be a mixed competition, and only those who emerge from the mixed competition can enter the subsequent single competition."

"Mixed competition ......", everyone was puzzled, and someone asked: "May I ask the young master, you just said the mixed competition, what is the mixed competition"?

Duanmu Xuan coughed and said: "The so-called mixed game, as the name suggests, is a group competition of many people, twenty people in a group, fighting each other, and whoever remains on the stage in the end is the winner of this one."

Someone immediately asked, "Then I wonder how the schedule of this mixed race is arranged"?

Duanmu Xuan's gaze swept over the audience and said, "Starting tomorrow, the first day, the second day, three games in the morning, noon and evening every day, each time seven stoppers will open at the same time, and there will be twenty people in each game." In this way, 420 people will participate in the competition every day, and 21 will win, and after two days of competition, a total of 840 people will participate, and 42 people will win. The winners will be held on the third and fourth days, and on the third day, there will be three games in the morning, noon and evening, seven games each time, two people in each game, and the twenty-one winners after three rounds will be drawn by 14 of them on the morning of the fourth day, and the winning seven will play another round with the remaining seven in the afternoon, so that there will be only seven winners."

After listening to Duanmu Xuan's words, someone asked lightly: "According to this ratio, that is to say, only seven of our 1,800 people will win in the end." Then I don't know what arrangements will you make for the seven people who won the final battle in the mixed competition, and do you have to play again?"

Duanmu Xuan said unhurriedly: "The seven winners will continue to compete with our Ethereal Seven Shows on the fifth day, and the winners will enter the next round of the competition and then compete with Miss Luo from the Falling Snow Valley, Lan Gongzi from the Orchid Gate, and the winners of our Ethereal Seven Shows." And so on until the winner is determined. I wonder if you can understand what I say."

"Hmph......", someone suddenly sneered: "Shaozhangjiao said so much, I only understood one sentence." So many of us worked hard to the end, and there were only seven people who could really participate, and you children of the family directly entered the finals at once, which is inevitably a bit too much to bully us scattered children!"

Duanmu Xuan glanced at the audience again, smiled emotionlessly, and said, "Listening to your tone, it is because the seven places are too few." If you don't have real strength, even if you are given seventy, what if you have seven hundred places. This is a martial arts rookie meeting, and it's not a straw bale meeting that anyone who is indiscriminate can participate in."

There was an uproar in the audience, and Duanmu Xuan's words stirred up a thousand waves. People are dignified, maybe they have no background and no family background, but this does not mean that others can trample on their personality casually.

For a while, everyone in the audience was excited, their fists clenched tightly, and they had the urge to tear down the Ethereal Peak.

Duanmu Xuan coldly glanced at the situation in the audience, and waved his sleeve robes to the Ethereal Peak disciples on the side, and the Ethereal Peak disciples were immediately clenched with the hilt of their swords, and they had the posture of drawing their swords to face each other at the slightest mistake.

In a moment, the atmosphere on the field was tense to the extreme.

In the midst of the mixed noise, I suddenly heard a person say lightly: "What if you have a family background, what about going directly to the finals." Just like Duanmu Xuan said, martial arts rookies will compare strength, not family background, and not the order of appearance. If you really have the strength, you will naturally defeat the enemy from the beginning until you win in the end. If it's a straw bale without strength, even if you go straight to the finals, it's not the same as going out. Do the big guys think there is any difference when this is the entrance"?

These words were said very lightly, but strangely enough, everyone in this noisy crowd could hear them clearly.

Duanmu Xuan's face sank instantly, how could he not hear the irony in these few words just now. At the moment, his eyes swept back and forth at the audience, trying to find out who the person who spoke was, but after looking for a long time, he finally couldn't find it.

It was naturally Yang Xiaofeng who spoke. He was standing a little far away and looking at Duanmu Xuan, and after a long time, his face showed a little disappointment.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Duanmu Xuan is the first person among today's young generation in terms of martial arts and character, but when I see it today, it is really not worthy of the name.

I don't know how martial arts are, but just the arrogance and contempt in Duanmu Xuan's words just now, just like that......

Such a character can be said to be the first person in the younger generation?

The crowd gradually fell silent. Obviously, there is no need to rush to explain many things, and time will prove to those who once looked down on them, what is it to not bully young people into poverty.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Duanmu Xuan continued: "If you have no objection to the arrangement of this event, then let's disperse." But I would like to remind you that it is best for you to stay where you live, and not to run around, lest you cause any unpleasantness."

Everyone in the audience immediately became angry again, but they endured it and did not have a seizure.

What does Duanmu Xuan mean by this, do you treat them as thieves?

Duanmu Xuan completely ignored whether the tone of his speech was appropriate, paused, and added: "There is another news to tell you, if the seven people who won the mixed competition this time want to join my Ethereal Peak Sect, the Ethereal Peak Seven Pavilion Pavilion Master will directly accept them as a personal disciple, and if they can continue to win in the later events and rank in the top ten, they will have the opportunity to worship directly under the Sect Master." It's a rare opportunity, and I hope you can take advantage of this great opportunity to become famous."

There was a commotion in the audience, and then it exploded directly, Duanmu Xuan's seemingly insipid words made the blood in the hearts of everyone in the audience boil instantly.

Don't say that you worship directly under the head of the Ethereal Peak, even if you can be accepted as a personal disciple by the master of the Seven Pavilions of the Ethereal Peak. But anyone who knows a little bit about the current martial arts situation knows what this means.

As the number one faction in today's martial arts, the leader of the righteous path, the industry is large, and the sphere of influence is so wide that it can be said that it is unimaginable. It's just that there is only one place at the core of this giant sect in the rivers and lakes, and that is the Ethereal Seven Pavilions headquartered on the Ethereal Peak. In order, it is "Emotional Pavilion, Inquiry Pavilion, Sentimental Pavilion, Absolute Pavilion, Forgetting Pavilion, Heartless Pavilion, and True Pavilion".

In addition to the eight elders of the Ethereal Peak's top high-level elder hall, the remaining seven are the seven pavilion masters. If they have the opportunity to be accepted as a personal disciple by the Seven Pavilion Masters, and if they really work hard enough, they may also become powerful figures in the Ethereal Peak in the future, and even enter the Hall of Elders. Think about it, what does this mean, the power of the world, the squander of money, or the peerless woman?

Isn't the reason why they are so desperate to get ahead is to have all of the above one day!

No matter what it is for, but it is conceivable what kind of situation this martial arts rookie will be in a tragic situation. Because this is no longer a pure competition between young people to compete with each other, but an opportunity, an opportunity to achieve fame. Haven't they been waiting for such an opportunity all along!

For such an opportunity, even if it costs them dearly.

The afternoon sun was warm and warm, shining on their young faces and into their hearts. In the sun, their smiles are bright and innocent.

The boy's face was full of expectations and longing for the future. It's just that the young man's heart is as innocent as their smile. Perhaps, in an unknown corner, there are still too many evil things in human nature.
