"Have you heard, the Putuo faction is visiting this time, but the real person in charge of the Golden Emperor personally led the team, I heard that it must be won!"

"Is it the Golden Emperor Zhenren, who is known as one of the five peers in the cultivation realm?"

"It's this person. ”

"It seems that the Putuo party also attaches great importance to this competition!"

"Isn't it, this time Xiaobi, the top two hundred people from the lower courtyard of the Putuo faction are here, in order to defeat us. ”

"If only I could participate in this small competition between the two factions, I heard that this competition, the prizes are very rich. ”

"You just think about the prizes, if you can play in such a competition, it represents the honor, it is the honor of our Liangyi faction, you know, it is supreme, if I can participate, I would rather not have any prizes. ”

"But I've heard that it's not so easy to participate in this competition. ”

"Of course, it is a major matter related to the honor of the sect, how can the middle and high-level of the sect not pay attention to it, I heard that the list of disciples who participated in this small competition was first decided by the three Venerables, and then reported to the high-level for approval, we have a total of nine thousand disciples in the lower house, who does not want to participate in this small competition, but in the end only the strongest two hundred people can be selected. ”

"Two hundred out of nine thousand, alas, such a low proportion, it seems that I am out of luck. One of the disciples couldn't help but sigh.

"However, this is not necessarily, in the lower courtyard, except for Xiao Jian, Xia Chudie and Yun Chulong, the situation of the others is difficult to say, and some disciples have to go through a selection competition to be finalized. ”

"It seems that during this time, I have to work hard, maybe I will have the opportunity to participate in this small competition!"

"Well, I'll have to go back and work on it too. ”

...... Soon, the news of the upcoming visit of the Putuo faction immediately spread throughout the entire Liangyi faction, and the Liangyi faction began to move.

Just as the disciples of the lower court were overjoyed, the three venerables in charge of [***] in the lower court were discussing the list of participants in this small competition between the two factions.

The three Venerable Ones each drew up a list of the top 200 in their own minds and the strength of the lower house, and put them together, and after some discussion, they roughly determined the list of people who would participate in this small competition.

After all, the strength of the vast majority of disciples, the three Venerables have a number in their hearts, and there is not much difference, such as the list of the top hundred disciples, the three Venerables basically reached a consensus, and there is no difference in opinion.

But between the one hundred and two hundredth disciples, the three of them have different opinions, after all, the characteristics of each disciple are different, there is no way to directly judge the strength or weakness, and some disciples with different spiritual roots still have a situation of restraining each other, in this case, the controversy between the three naturally arises.

There is also a situation where a disciple like Zhang Xiaomai is located.

Originally, a rookie disciple like him had not been in the lower courtyard of the Liangyi Sect for a long time, and it was theoretically impossible for him to enter the top two hundred, but Zhang Xiaomai was ranked very high on the contribution list of the Yin Yang Pavilion, and his ranking was even higher than that of many disciples of the upper courtyard.

However, this approach of Venerable Bishui caused the dissatisfaction of Venerable Huangshi and Venerable Zijin.

"I don't agree with Zhang Xiaomai being selected into the top 200 list, how long has he been in the team, what strength will he have, and what performance will he have in the competition?"

Venerable Huangshi had recently learned that Zhang Xiaomai and Venerable Bishui's eldest disciple Xia Chudie were very close, and he was worried that there would be any agreement between them, so he was reluctant to choose Zhang Xiaomai into it, and the same was true for Venerable Zijin.

"Yes, although Zhang Xiaomai's performance is quite decent, there is nothing particularly outstanding, so I can't agree with his inclusion in this list. ”

"But Li Dami, who is under his pseudonym, has already entered the top 100 on the contribution list of the Yinyang Pavilion, and his ranking is even higher than that of many disciples of the upper court. Venerable Bishui hurriedly added.

This news was only recently learned from Xia Chudie's mouth, which led to the idea of selecting Zhang Xiaomai into it.

This news is not accurate, but it smells of hearsay, and there is no evidence that we, as Venerable Beings, should speak with facts. Venerable Huangshi said, "You can't say who you are, you are what you are, you must provide evidence." ”

"This is Zhang Xiaomai's task list to complete the task in the Yinyang Pavilion. Venerable Bishui said and took out Zhang Xiaomai's form for receiving and completing the task from his bosom, and put it in front of the other two Venerables, "This is the evidence, I think this form can fully prove that Zhang Xiaomai's strength is among the top two hundred." ”

"Even if there is evidence to prove his identity, I don't agree to include him in it, after all, the level of personal completion of the task does not represent his own strength, and he may even complete the task with other disciples, so the contribution list can only be used as a reference, but the final decision cannot be made. Venerable Zijin said again.

"You two, what do you mean?" Venerable Bishui frowned, "This is a major event of the competition between the two factions, I am selecting the strongest disciple for the Liangyi faction, but you are always obstructing, what do you want to do!"

Obviously, Zhang Xiaomai had the strength to enter the top two hundred, but he was constantly blocked by the Huangshi Venerable and the Zijin Venerable, and the Bishui Venerable didn't know what they had in mind, so he was very dissatisfied.

"Xiao Shui, the two of us are also thinking about the sect, hoping to select suitable disciples, not for our own selfish interests. Venerable Huangshi said.

"That's it. Venerable Zijin nodded repeatedly.

Hmph, who doesn't know that this Zhang Xiaomai is the person you fancie, if you want to be promoted and cultivated, don't even think about it!

"Why do you say that Zhang Xiaomai relied on cooperating with others to complete the task?" Venerable Bishui said angrily, "Do you have any evidence, who did Zhang Xiaomai complete it with, who is it, tell him to stand up!"

"Xiaoshui, don't get excited, you are so excited, who dares to come out to testify, we are like this, we are also afraid that you will be unfavorable to them, we did not let them stand up, also out of protection for them. Venerable Zijin hurriedly said.

"Hmph, I think you just have bad intentions, and you don't know what you're thinking in your head?" said Venerable Bishui.

The two hurriedly explained again, and after some arguments between the three of them, although the two insisted on disagreeing that Zhang Xiaomai was directly selected into the list of two hundred people, they couldn't stand the insistence of Venerable Bishui, and finally gave Zhang Xiaomai a chance to participate in the selection competition.

The so-called selection competition is that when the three Venerable Beings produce a list of some controversial disciples, they simply save these lists and hold a selection competition, according to the victory or defeat, the strongest of them are selected, although this move is cruel, but it is the fairest and least controversial.

After all, the winner is selected, and the loser is eliminated, although it is possible that you may be unlucky to draw a stronger disciple, but losing is losing, winning is winning, everything can still be grasped by yourself, and if you lose, you can only blame yourself.

Not only Zhang Xiaomai, in fact, there are about two hundred of the controversial disciples in this part, and the three Venerables are arguing, so they simply decided to hold a selection competition, two hundred people freely draw lots, catch the right pair and conduct a competition, and select the one hundred people who won among them, and the one hundred people who have been decided before, as the 200 people in this two faction competition.

The Three Venerables submitted this plan to the elders in charge, and then the elders in charge submitted it to the head of the sect, Yuwen Wuji, and in the end, Yuwen Wuji quickly approved the plan.

Three days later, when the list was announced to all the disciples in the sect, it immediately caused a heated discussion.

The attitude of the disciples who were not selected and the disciples who were directly selected for the top 100 were in stark contrast, on one side they were disappointed, and on the other hand, they showed a strong sense of self-confidence, and there was a feeling that I was the elite of the elite.

As for the 100 disciples who still needed a round of selection to be determined, they were all gearing up and trying to perform well to win this final spot.

The rules of the selection competition are very simple, two hundred disciples, free lottery, all the number of lots, divided into the first to the hundredth, each number has two lots, where the number of draws the same number of lots, they will be divided together, the selection competition, the final winner of the side, you can enter the list of two hundred people, and get the qualification to compete with the Putuo faction.

The lottery was chosen on the morning of the next day, early in the morning, the two hundred disciples who participated in the lottery arrived, waiting for the start of the lottery with nervous expressions, in addition to them, there were also many other disciples, most of them were friends of the two hundred disciples, and they also came to cheer them on, or wish good luck.

Zhang Xiaomai also came early in the morning, and naturally Shangguan Yanran also arrived.

"Husband, come on!" Before Zhang Xiaomai was about to go to the draw, Shangguan Yanran smiled and waved his little fist at Zhang Xiaomai, cheering up.

Having the encouragement of his daughter-in-law naturally made Zhang Xiaomai feel good, but to be honest, Zhang Xiaomai did not feel nervous about this lottery like others.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, the most important thing is to play at your own level, if you still lose, in fact, there is nothing to regret.

But seeing the nervous appearance of the brothers around him, Zhang Xiaomai couldn't help but be affected.

At this time, Venerable Huangshi, Venerable Bishui, Venerable Zijin, the three of them had already arrived and sat down.

At this moment, what the people present didn't know was that Venerable Bishui had a stern gaze and seemed not very happy, while Venerable Huangshi and Venerable Zijin looked in the direction of Zhang Xiaomai, and nodded slightly to each other in a silent attitude, as if they had reached an unknown tacit understanding.

It was at this time that a voice finally rang out, "The draw ceremony for the tryouts begins now. ”
