On the day of the official start of the competition, the weather was clear, the sun was just right in the late spring, and the day before, the contestants had already drawn lots to decide, and the big red list was posted on the big pillar next to the ring.

The competition adopts a two-person team, the elimination system, the winner advances, and continues the knockout round, the seven big disciples are the referees of the seven venues, the whole competition will be carried out for about half a month, Xiang Shaoying roughly calculated, if Yun wants to enter the top ten, at least he has to win seven consecutive competitions, and he has to have a vicious fight in almost two days, which is not only a contest of martial arts, but also a contest of physical strength and endurance.

Xiang Shaoying didn't have to participate in the competition, I don't know if it's a fluke or a blessing.

Bai Juyi was also the referee of one of the rings questioned, Ruoyun happened to be assigned to Bai Juyi's ring, Bai Juyi patted Ruoyun's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, Ruoyun, senior brother is optimistic about you." ”

If the cloud is like a thorn in his back, wanting to cry without tears, will Bai Juyi deliberately let him lose and give him small shoes to wear in order to accept him as an apprentice?

Ruoyun and Xiang Shaoying stood under the ring, Ruoyun pulled Xiang Shaoying and said, "Wait for me to play, you help me keep an eye on Bai Juyi carefully, don't let him have a chance to make a mistake." ”

Xiang Shaoying couldn't cry or laugh, but nodded and agreed to him.

On the first day of the competition, a large number of people were eliminated, Ruoyun played against a junior brother, the two fought for more than 30 rounds and then divided the winner, Ruoyun won the first battle, morale was high, Ruoyun got off the stage and said to Xiang Shaoying: "How about it, I'm not bad, right?"

Xiang Shaoying nodded, and was about to speak, but Bai Juyi walked over and said with a smile: "Today is just the first battle, you can't be careless." ”

When Ruoyun saw Bai Juyi, he immediately restrained his expression, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother taught me a lesson." ”

Ruoyun also won two games in a row in the next two days, and after three days, seven or eight percent of the people had been eliminated. However, the next game is crucial, and it will be extremely hard.

Xiang Shaoying saw that there were four elders and the head sitting in the stands, and couldn't help asking: "In the first few rounds of competition, the four elders and the head didn't come to watch, why are they all here to watch the game now?"

Ruoyun followed Xiang Shaoying's gaze and replied: "In the first few rounds of competition, some disciples with poor qualifications were eliminated, and the next one is the main event, the descendants will be produced among the remaining more than a hundred disciples, so of course the head elders will come to watch the battle, what's more, don't you look at who is standing in the ring now?"

Xiang Shaoying looked at the two men standing in the ring, the one on the right, Ruoyun recognized, was a disciple of the Shenxiao faction, Zhao Zhong, who was good friends with Zhang Meng, Wang Xin and others on weekdays, and the one on the left was a young man about twenty years old, dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a tall figure, a resolute face, and an extraordinary bearing, Xiang Shaoying looked at him and looked at the face, and he was not wearing the service of a disciple of the Shenxiao faction, it seemed that he should be a person from a foreign faction, so he asked Ruoyun in a low voice: "Who is the one on the left?"

Ruoyun glanced at it and said: "Xiahou Xuan, the young master of Zizhu Villa, and Wan Qingzhou, the young master of Wanma Hall, are called martial arts and martial arts, and they should be the most powerful opponents in this competition. ”

"Oh, is he Xiahou Xuan?" Xiang Shaoying raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at the man in brocade standing on the stage, Xiahou Xuan's name, he had already heard of it when he was in Wanjian Villa, Zizhu Villa in western Zhejiang, Wanjian Villa in southern Fujian, and Treading Snow Villa in Mobei were once the three major mountain villas in the world, with three legs, and the Ximen swordsmanship of the Murong family in Zizhu Villa can be called the first weird swordsmanship in the world, and it can almost be matched with the Yuxiao swordsmanship of the Shenxiao faction.

Within this year, Wanjian Villa has fallen, Zizhu Villa and Treading Snow Villa are one west and one north, leading the way, and Xiahou Xuan, the young owner of Zizhu Villa, is the true inheritance of Ximen swordsmanship, leading a new generation of rising stars on the rivers and lakes.

Xiang Shaoying looked at Xiahou Xuan, and couldn't help laughing at himself, he is also the young owner of the three major mountain villas in the world, Xiahou Xuan has unlimited scenery, but he is very depressed, he is living too badly.

"Why didn't you see him in the previous competition?" Xiang Shaoying asked again.

"Because for the foreign disciples with better qualifications, the Shenxiao Sect has relaxed the conditions, and there is no need to conduct the first and second rounds of competition, and they can directly enter the third round of competition. A soft and gentle female voice beside her said lightly.

Xiang Shaoying was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and saw a woman in green, she was very beautiful, not charming, but beautiful, fair skin, small melon seed face, red lips, beautiful eyebrows and sideburns, phoenix eyes were as deep as rippling blue waves, and she exuded an elegant and elegant, floating like a fairy. Xiang Shaoying was stunned for a while, but couldn't come back to his senses.

"Girl, may I ask who you are?" asked Xiang Shaoying suspiciously.

Ruoyun secretly stepped on Xiang Shaoying's foot and said in a low voice: "She is the young palace master of Shuiyue Palace, Xiao Yanran. The first beauty in martial arts. Xiao Yanran, smiling, looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color.

Xiao Yanran's mother is the emperor's sister Princess Chang'an, back then, Princess Chang'an disguised herself as a man and met the palace master of Shuiyue Palace, the two fell in love at first sight, Princess Chang'an did not hesitate to fall out with the emperor's brother, and even injured the emperor personally selected the new champion horse to escape marriage, but also to be free with the palace master of Shuiyue Palace, how can the king of a country tolerate a reckless brother-in-law, the emperor was angry, and issued a killing order to Shuiyue Palace, so Shuiyue Palace was also depressed for a period of time, until Xiao Yanran's birth, the emperor loved this little niece very much, and even beat the princess in the palace, and even wanted to make him the lord of Zhaoyang, the relationship between the emperor and the princess of Chang'an, also improved, the emperor once invited the palace master of the Water Moon Palace to enter the court as an official, but was refused, and finally it was gone. But with the acquiescence of the emperor, Shuiyue Palace has revived, and over the years, the power of Shuiyue Palace has been even more powerful.

"It turned out to be Miss Xiao. Xiang Shaoying arched his hand and said.

Xiao Yanran smiled at him.

Xiang Shaoying looked at Xiao Yanran's eyebrows and eyes a little familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere, but she just couldn't remember them, so she asked suspiciously, "Miss Xiao, are we ...... Where have you seen it?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was stepped on by Ruoyun again, and whispered in his ear: "Shaoying, it's my brother that I told you, this is the worst way I've ever accosted you!" After speaking, he smirked at Xiao Yanran.

"Oh, but I've never seen Xiang Shaoxia. Xiao Yanran said with a smile.
