Although Shen Chufeng's words were relaxed, they all knew that what the senior brother said would not be false, because they trusted Shen Chufeng very much.

A day later, Jin Liu's competition to enter the quarterfinals officially began.

In the martial arts arena, there were more disciples than the auditions, everyone wanted to watch the exciting competition, and more importantly, they wanted to see which branch would stand out.

Xuanyuan Daoren is the host of this big competition, and yesterday's audition was actually not too satisfying to him.

According to the report of the spies sent by the Xuantian Sect, a few years ago, when the outer gate of the Northern Netherworld Sect was in a big competition, the disciples of the Northern Netherworld Sect were much better than the Xuantian Sect.

The fact that one person can destroy the group shows that there is a huge gap between the outer disciples of the sect, and in general, the outer disciples of the Northern Hell Sect are indeed better than the outer disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

Outer disciples are the foundation of a sect, and the greater the number of outstanding outer disciples, the stronger the potential of this sect.

At present, Xuantian Sect can still be ranked among the three major sects in the immortal realm, because of the large number of inner disciples of Xuantian Sect, but this is only temporary.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are immortals who fall every three days and two days, and most of these fallen generations are inner disciples, groups of inner disciples, who sacrifice in order to maintain the comfort of the sect, and similarly, another group of new inner disciples will make up for the vacancy of the fallen.

Almost every sect is passed down in this way, and once there are not enough disciples in any sect, they will face the risk of being wiped out.

In the immortal world, one less sect is equal to one less competitor in resources, the weak eat the strong, you can't just wait to be eaten by others, only by constantly strengthening yourself and stubbornly fixing the status of your own forces, can you survive in the cruel immortal cultivation world.

Before the top 16 match, Xuanyuan Dao was already sitting on the host stage, and he was very disappointed in the audition, he hoped that in the top 16 round, the outer disciples of the sect could play better.

"Senior Brother Xuanyuan came really early, the competition hasn't started yet, so he came over and waited. ”

The one who spoke was the senior brother of Xuanyuan Daoren, Longkui Daoist and Xuanyuan Daoist were both in the late stage of Xuanxian Immortal, and their two old-timers were already familiar with each other in Xuantian Sect, and they also knew each other's temperament, so it can be said that Longkui Dao and Xuanyuan Daoren, the two of them were confidants.

"I thought it was who, it turned out to be Senior Brother Nightshade, Senior Brother Don't come to harm, I don't know what kind of wind it is, I recruited Senior Brother Nightshade, according to my understanding of Senior Brother Nightshade, I'm afraid this outer door is big, I can't get into your eyes." ”

Xuanyuan Daoist spoke with a joke, and Longkui Daoist nodded without denial: "Brother Xuanyuan is right, junior brother, I really don't care much about the competition between the outer doors, but this time is different, my inner disciples have fallen a lot in the past few years, I came to watch the outer door competition, in fact, I came to pay attention to whether the outer door of our Xuantian Sect is excellent, if you can find one or two good seedlings in the outer door competition, when they are successful, I will also be included in the door in advance." ”

"Hahahehe. ”

Xuanyuan Daoren said with a smile: "Senior Brother Longkui really impresses me with Brother Tai, this has not yet been selected at the inner gate, so you have booked a disciple in advance." ”

Longkui Daoist waved his hand and said: "Where is it, who in the world doesn't know that our inner hall is robbing disciples, and if you start quickly, a good disciple belongs to you." ”

When the Dragon Nightshade Daoist said this, a smile appeared on his face that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"Since Senior Brother Nightshade thinks so, well, as long as you don't think disappointed. Xuanyuan Daoist said in a reminding tone.

"Oh, what does Senior Brother Xuanyuan mean by this?" asked Long Kui Daoren with an eyebrow.

Xuanyuan Daoist shook his head and sighed: "If you want to talk about the outer disciples of our sect, I can only laugh." ”

"What's wrong with our outer disciples, is it worse than other sects?"

Xuanyuan Daoist made a veto gesture: "It's not bad, it's very bad." ”

"How bad is it to be very bad, I think Senior Brother Xuanyuan is joking, I don't believe in the vast Xuantian Sect, and there is not even a group of excellent outer disciples. "The people of Longkui Dao do not agree with the statement of Xuanyuan Daoist.

"Believe it or not, brother, I'll tell you the truth, our outer sect, compared with the outer gate of the Northern Netherworld Sect, is not at the same level at all, and our outer disciples, the qualifications can be compared to the middle sect, it is not bad. ”

"So serious. When the Daoist heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

Xuanyuan Daoist continued: "Our disciples are too peaceful, one by one hanging out in the sect all day long, they are listless when they want to cultivate, and they are quite active in fighting for the wind and being jealous, pinning the future of the Xuantian Sect on them, I am afraid that the sect will perish sooner or later." ”

"That's it, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, after the Outer Gate Competition, you can rectify the Outer Gate well, and you can't let these Outer Sect disciples continue. ”

"I also have this intention, as long as the big competition is over, I will draw up a new outer door regulations, and when the time comes, I will see these outer disciples, and they will dare to cultivate seriously. Xuanyuan Dao replied that he hated iron.

"Senior Brother Xuanyuan, don't be angry, let's watch the disciples' competition. ”

"Good. ”

Here, the two old-timers Xuanyuan and Long Kui have already sat down on the hosting stage, and like the two seniors, there are tens of thousands of outer disciples who have made bets.

The victory or defeat of the top 16 matches is not only related to the sixteen branches selected by the sea, but also the disciples who bet on the outcome of the competition.

The more to the finals later, the greater the pressure on those participating branch teams, because each team has countless supporters, and it is good to win the game, but once they lose, the disciples who bet on it will lose their capital, and they will inevitably have a complaint in their hearts.

Even, those disciples who bet on it will form a group to make a coax in the stands, scolding the branch hall that failed the game is a waste, and scolding whatever is ugly.

The sect does not control these emotions, who asks people to spend money to look at you, and you disappoint the family, even if you are scolded, you have to hold back.

When the time reached noon, the sixteen branches of the competition had also entered the martial arts arena one after another.

This round of 16 matches is counted as Shen Chufeng's participation in the big competition.

Next to Shen Chufeng, the few people standing were Feng Qingyang, Liu Hanqiu, Hua Chen and Mo Xiaoyan, the five of them represented Qingshuitang, and the victory and defeat in the big competition established Qingshuitang's status in the outer gate.

After several rounds of fighting in the auditions, they did not have a trace of nervousness, and it can be seen that through the battles in the auditions, they have become more mature.

Shizun Hongfeng Daoist was also in the stands, he looked at Shen Chufeng with a smile on his face, and seemed to be very confident in Shen Chufeng's victory, Shen Chufeng also smiled and nodded to Hongfeng Daoren, indicating that there was no problem.

The branches participating in the audition include Xuanyin Hall, Qingshui Hall, Jiyuan Hall, Huashen Hall, Mingyue Hall, Baiyu Hall, Qingyun Hall, Beacon Hall, Lily Hall, Night Soul Hall, Guangyuan Hall, Beihai Hall, Shenzhou Hall, Yiling Hall, Feixian Hall, and Baijing Hall.

Sixteen outer door branches, after this battle will be selected eight, and then enter the next round of the big competition.

Before the top 16 matches began, Xuanyuan Daoist asked his disciples to hand a bamboo tube to the martial arts stage, which contained sixteen bamboo sticks, and the bamboo sticks were engraved with the order of the competition.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight, each number has two bamboo sticks, two branches drawn to the first lot, the first round of competition begins, and the two branches that draw the second lot start the second round of competition, and the third and fourth rounds are the same.

The inner disciple with the bamboo tube in his hand first asked the first disciple of the sixteen sects to come out of the ranks, and then he chose the lottery he wanted, and when he drew a few numbers, he would compete with the branch hall with the same number.

Of course, the representative of Qingshui Hall is Shen Chufeng, but when Shen Chufeng drew lots, he could take a look at Mingyue Hall.

In the top 16 competition, the disciples who participated in Mingyue Hall did not have Xue Qianru, maybe there was an accident that made Xue Qianru collapse, otherwise, if she wanted to do such an important thing as the outer door competition, Xue Qianru would not not not participate.

Shen Chufeng just took out a random stick, then turned around and walked back to Feng Qingyang and them.

"Senior brother, what number are you drawing? Xiaoyan hurriedly asked Shen Chufeng.

Shen Chufeng lit up the lot, and it was engraved with "three".

"We were the third to play, so you can watch other people's games first. ”

"Senior brother, in fact, Lao Chen, I think, the first one to play will be our turn, so that I can let them taste the power of my sky-splitting axe, and I will make everyone in the stands tremble, hehe. Hua Chen shook his chest and laughed to himself.

"You, it's better to be conservative, the top 16 is not an audition, you can enter the top 16 branches, you have a certain strength, in case we stop at the top 16, then what you say is not equivalent to slapping yourself in the face. Shen Chufeng said jokingly to Hua Chen.

Hua Chen scratched the back of his head and touched the sky-splitting axe in his hand with a smile.

"No, no, if we can't even get into the quarterfinals, then I, Lao Chen, I'm sorry for the axe you forged for me, Senior Brother. ”

"Brilliance has a point. ”

Liu Hanqiu agreed with Hua Chen's statement: "What we are using now is a medium-grade immortal weapon inlaid with divine stones, if we still lose under such conditions, the truth can't be said, I won't tell you, since I have this sword, I even have the idea of fighting with the immortal master in my heart." ”

Liu Hanqiu said what was in his heart seriously, that's right, there is a good immortal weapon, which is enough to make people want to challenge the master.

The so-called masters, aren't they opponents that they can't defeat, even those mortals in the secular world dream of becoming a master, becoming an invincible master of others, not to mention this world of immortal cultivation full of killing.

Liu Hanqiu held the sword in both hands, and it could be seen from his gaze that he was fantasizing about the scene of a bloody battle with others, and the unconscious killing intent and battle intent were surging out of his body.

"Senior Brother Hanqiu, you, what's wrong?" Xiaoyan asked with some worry when she saw Liu Hanqiu's abnormality.

"Oh, it's fine. Liu Hanqiu hurriedly woke up from his fantasy.

"Han Qiu, when you practice swordsmanship in the future, don't blindly comprehend the way of killing, the three thousand avenues, the Tao is the way, the way of killing is only one of them, the way of killing can be comprehended, but you can't get lost in killing. ”

Shen Chufeng, like an immortal master, advised Liu Hanqiu, and anyone could see just now that the killing intent exuded by Liu Hanqiu was the murderous aura that blinded him by hatred.

"Senior Brother Hanqiu, have you been tired lately, otherwise, you won't participate in today's game. Feng Qingyang thought about Liu Hanqiu's condition, so he made a suggestion.

"Yes, what the second senior brother said is right. Hua Chen stretched out his big hand and pressed a palm on Liu Hanqiu's shoulder.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Liu Hanqiu replied.

"Are you really okay?" asked Xiaoyan with her head outward.

Liu Hanqiu nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Sixteen into eight competitions, start immediately, ask the disciples of the Era Hall and the disciples of the Wing Spirit Hall to walk to the competition platform, and the other waiting halls will get ready. ”

At this moment, a loud and pleasant voice permeated the whole field, and the noisy outer disciples in the stands instantly became silent, and everyone quietly waited for the wonderful game.

"Let's go, let's go to the master to watch the battle first," Shen Chufeng said.
