CHAPTER XIII

Although I don't know what fate they will have in the future, but at least now they are extremely happy, on the way home, Xie Piaoran has been holding Li Tianya's hand tightly, for fear that he will leave if he doesn't pay attention, until she is almost at the door, she is very reluctant to let go, after arriving home, she hurriedly urges to eat, and feels very excited about doing everything, her father saw her like this and asked puzzledly, "Piaoran, what happy things happened today, I see that you are completely different from usual" Hearing this, Li Tianya was really frightened, it couldn't be that he was aware of something, just thinking like this, Xie Piaoran replied, "It's nothing, it's just that Tianya and I won today's selection meeting" "Haha, good, very good, I also expected this result, but I didn't expect it to be realized so soon, hurry up and eat, and then rest well and prepare for tomorrow's second round" After the meal, they went back to their rooms to rest, Xie Piaoran was lying on the bed at this time, recalling the scene of the afternoon, thinking about it, two crimson flowers had unconsciously flew on her cheeks, but happiness was still more than shyness, she did not regret giving her first time to Li Tianya, but she was very happy, if it was in other circumstances, she did not have this kind of courage, but under Li Tianya's strong attack, it made her less timid, and after a long time, she fell asleep in a happy smile. Li Tianya is much more complicated, although he is also very happy, but he is always a little uneasy in his heart, on the one hand, he is afraid that Xie Piaoran will treat himself like a sunset, on the other hand, he is always worried that he will not protect Xie Piaoran, after all, he still knows how many catties and taels, in case the enemy comes to the door again one day, how should he deal with it, after worrying for a long time, he finally convinced himself, how can it be the same as the kind of goods like Xiyan, I am really cranky, after this question is figured out, he is relieved a lot, after all, protecting Xie Piaoran can come slowly, he believes that as long as he cultivates seriously, he will soon improve by leaps and bounds, Before, it was because there was no one to guide him, and once he entered the Lingyun Sect, then not only would there be advanced martial arts cheats for his reference, but also a master beside him to guide him, so he didn't worry about the latter problem, and he could sleep with peace of mind after straightening things out.

The next morning, Xie Piaoran still came to wake up Li Tianya very early, with yesterday's lesson, she also waited at the door for a while before entering the door, but when she saw Li Tianya, she reacted, and now they have nothing* It can be said, so he laughed at himself, and after a while, the two of them also set off to draw lots, preparing for the next game, they came to a huge house, which was already full of people at this time, and looked around, about two or three hundred, the two of them were very embarrassed to stand in a corner, and as soon as they stood up, they heard " Well, the players who entered the second round are all here, then the second round of the draw will be carried out, this draw is random, there will be a bye among the 315 people, and the other players will draw number plates ranging from 1 to 157, and then the pairs of players will come to the stage at one time, there is still no limit to the way of competition, as long as you can win the game, but the means must be legitimate, if you find a small trick, you will not be spared, there is no doubt about it" Seeing that no one squeaked, this person continued. Then next, please come to me to draw lots" Li Tianya and Xie Piaoran also took the initiative to step forward, each took a piece of paper, and then slowly opened it, Li Tianya's was written 12, Xie Piaoran's was 13, looking at such a number, both of them smiled heartily, so that they didn't have to wait too long, and the order of the two was one after the other, and there would be no question of who waited for whom. Everyone inside is nervous about the lottery, and it is not calm outside, I feel that there are many more people today than in the previous two days, so it seems more crowded, so in some places the game has not yet started, and the sound of quarrels has been heard, who stepped on whose feet, whose wallet is gone, and even more is looking for their children, which is also suffering from these enthusiastic spectators.

After the draw is completed, all the players are also looking for a place to sit in the room, after all, some people will wait for a long time, and standing all the time may affect their performance. Xie and the others stood at the door, staring intently at the stage, because everyone on the stage has the potential to become their next opponent, and they must be carefully observed, and after a while, it will be their turn, the two walk side by side in the ring, people who don't know still think they are a couple, but they seem to be a couple, and they walk to the ring, each giving each other a "be careful" 's eyes, and then stepped into the ring, Li Tianya's opponent was a halberd-wielding player, who looked very powerful, but he was not afraid, he directly took the long sword off his back, held it in his hand, and stood straight in the spring light, heroic, the elders on the side also focused their eyes at this time, last time Li Tianya won too fast, so that they didn't see Li Tianya's moves clearly at all, so this time they stared at Li Tianya in advance, ready to have a deep understanding of him. The young man with the halberd is not as arrogant as the last time, everyone knows that the players who can enter the second round are not weak, so everyone is extra cautious, after the two of them carried out basic politeness, they put on a posture, the young man with the halberd took the lead, he raised the halberd in his hand and waved it directly at Li Tianya, Li Tianya did not hold it big this time, and he had already prepared a posture to deal with it, seeing the other party rushing over, a jump, soaring in the air, quickly using the long sword, stabbing down sharply, not close, the other party retracted the halberd, a block, both of them took a small step back, after a round Li Tianya also knew that the other party was also a skilled martial artist, and could not fight hard, can only outwit, a slight pause, he quickly rushed over, want to drink the opponent as much as possible to close combat, after all, the opponent's weapon is inconvenient for close combat, come to the other party, Li Tianya began to follow the 123 romance swordsmanship moves one by one, both offensive and defensive, these two methods instantly achieved a certain effect, under Li Tianya's sharp and rapid attack, the opponent kept retreating, and could only use the halberd in his hand to resist, Li Tianya saw the situation not only did not slow down the attack speed, but changed the move more quickly, up and down, left and right, constantly attacking, for a time made the opponent busy, so public after dozens of moves, Li Tianya also knew that this was not a long-term solution, so he quickly planned in his mind, how to completely control the opponent, after a while, he showed a strange smile on his face, seeing Li Tianya's smile, the young man with the halberd was also a little uneasy, he didn't know what Li Tianya was going to do, in addition to being uneasy, in fact, he was more depressed, his weakness was discovered by the other party so quickly, making him passive defense as soon as he came up, so he has always been very helpless in his heart, seeing Li Tianya's weird smile, he was also very anxious, but he didn't know what to do, just thinking about it, Li Tianya's legs bent quickly from him* Drilled through, just a breath of time, has come to the back of the halberd young man, and the tip of the sword has been firmly placed on the opponent's neck, this series of actions seems to be light, but it consumes Li Tianya's great energy and strength, this action can not tolerate a trace of slack and sloppiness, must be done in one go, people to the sword, can not leave the opponent a little time, once the opponent reacts, the defense is successful, then it will be a failure, and not only can not have any gain, but will also spend a lot of effort, which is not good for the next game, but Li Tianya did not let such a thing happen, he successfully did it, and did it perfectly, so that the top level of the Lingyun Sect on the sidelines was also amazed, "The body technique is too fast, and there is nothing superfluous in the whole set of movements, what is even more commendable is that he actually did it in one go, without the slightest pause, not at all like a young man's moves" "Senior Brother Li, how do I think his moves are the same as the 123 romance swordsmanship you practiced, although you haven't used this set of swordsmanship for many years, but junior brother, I am very familiar with it"" It's really similar, but it's more fluent than the 123 romance swordsmanship, and it feels like the sword moves are integrated into people's feelings, which is what the 123 romance swordsmanship lacks, could it be that this kid will also create his own swordsmanship, impossible, so young, how can it be" "It won't be Senior Brother Li's apprentice who was privately accepted outside, if it's true, don't hide it, just accept it directly into the sect, and let him participate in what competition"" You guys will talk nonsense, am I the kind of person who hides and tucks it, Li Rongguang, who once taught one and a half moves on Qingyun Mountain, you all know, how can I have taught others swordsmanship privately" "Okay, joking with you, why should you take it seriously, it seems that there should be no problem for this son to enter the sect, let's wait"

Li Tianya's side is relatively smooth, but Xie Piaoran is a little difficult here, her opponent is a young man with a hammer, a brute force seems to be endless, as soon as he comes to the stage, he chases Xie Piaoran and fights fiercely, Xie Piaoran has been running in the ring for more than ten laps at this time, but still can't find any flaws in the other party, when he is worried, he sees that Li Tianya next to him has won, on the one hand, he is overjoyed, and at the same time he is very anxious, Li Tianya also saw Xie Piaoran's dilemma, and when he walked to Xie Piaoran's side, he said a short word"Fight for life with life, win with speed" , Li Tianya's meaning is very clear, I hope that Xie Piaoran will give up everything and compare the speed with the other party, Xie Piaoran did not seem very happy when he heard such a reminder, because this method is too risky, in case one is not careful, what should I do if I lose the game and lose my life, I hesitated while running, and it was two laps down, she finally couldn't stand it, although she deliberately avoided it so that the other party couldn't hurt herself, just made symbolic attacks from time to time, but seeing that the opponent didn't seem to have any exhaustion, if she went on like this, she would have to exhaust herself to death, so she decided to gamble according to Li Tianya's method, her mind had been decided, and she was not in a hurry, still dodging as before, she wants to find the best time, has reached a blow to hit, foolproof, at this time the other rings have already decided the winner, only her group remains, the people behind him seem to be in a hurry, speed up, at this moment, Xie Piaoran suddenly turned around and jumped into the air, and raised the sword in his hand to stab at the opponent, the speed is extremely fast, in just half a breath she came to the other party, seeing Xie Piaoran turned around, the young man with the hammer was also inexplicably happy, thinking that he could finally end the game, so he didn't want to think about it, raising the hammer in his hand was also a jump, to have a head-on confrontation with Xie Piaoran, but just when he smashed at Xie Piaoran, Xie Piaoran took two steps back, and the hammer smashed directly into the ring, stirring up a burst of dust, and the extremely lost young man was just about to stand up and continue to attack, but found that a shiny sword had appeared above his head, Xie Piaoran won very lucky, the opponent thought that she retreated because of fear, so there was a pause for a second or two, it was in this short time, Xie Piaoran killed back silently, and then lightly raised the long sword in his hand, pointed at the top of the opponent's head, and attached a sentence "Agreed", just like that, Xie Li and the two entered the third round, and in the face of such a result, the two young people did not stop at all, and left hand in hand, waiting for the next round of draw.

The second round of the competition was also coming to an end after almost two hours, and at about noon, the second round was completely over, and the 157 winners plus the previous bye 158 were all waiting in the wide room, ready for the next round of draws, and after a while, the man who spoke in the morning appeared in front of everyone again, and as soon as he entered, he was heard to say" Congratulations to you on entering the third round, the next test may be more severe, and I hope you don't give up, only those who have experienced the cruel test can become real heroes, don't you, you have two quarters of an hour of rest, and in two quarters of an hour we will have the next round of draws, you can go around, or you can wait here", he said and left quickly. Two quarters of an hour will pass, everyone's heart is also unconsciously nervous, this time 158 people will eliminate half of the remaining 79 people, no one wants to be one of the 79 people, facing the number plate, one or two are careful to stretch out their right hand, for fear of drawing a bad lot, all hope to meet a weaker opponent, but the third round of how can there be too weak opponents at all, in a serious and tense atmosphere, the draw lasted for a while before it ended, looking at the sign in the hand can be said to be a few happy and a few sad, two rounds down, everyone still understands all the players, which are no weaknesses, which are fatal flaws are still a little bit known, so the atmosphere at this time is a little more complicated. Li Tianya and Xie Piaoran are the same, Li Tianya has nothing to worry about himself, he is just worried about Xie Piaoran, he has just consumed too much physical strength, he is afraid that Xie Piaoran will hold on, so he also took a step forward, approached Xie Piaoran and said softly, "If you can't beat it later, you still admit defeat, in case you hurt your body, I won't spare you" There was both concern and threat in his words, but it was all for Xie Piaoran's good, Xie Piaoran also obediently replied "Well, I know, I won't be so stupid"

With the order of the people on the stage, 20 young people stepped into the ring one after another, this round Li Tianya is ugly is No. 34, and Xie Piaoran is No. 58, the competition between the two will have to wait for a while before starting, at this time they are also standing under the stage to watch, but at this time there is nothing to learn from the viewing, many players are not far apart in strength, are looking for each other's weaknesses, and then wait for an opportunity to win, so this third round of the competition each group takes longer, almost three quarters of an hour passed, before it was Li Tianya's turn to play, this time the opponent made a player with a hammer, looking at the opponent's weapon, he was very happy, the strength of the player is the least afraid of himAfter all, relatively speaking, such a player will move much slower, and this change can become a factor for him to win, but it seems that the opponent is also very happy, looking at the opponent is a sword, he is also happy, everyone knows, swordsmanship will understand the spirit, the sword speed is extremely fast, and win with ever-changing moves, but Li Tianya in front of him is so young, and how superb swordsmanship will be, so the young man with the hammer is also very happy, the two smiled and bowed, and then began to compete, because directly knowing the weakness of the other party, Li Tianya did not fight hard with the opponent as soon as he came up, but kept running behind the opponent, waiting for the opportunity to attack from behind, the weapon of the hammer, It is inconvenient to wield, so what he is most afraid of is that the enemy attacks from behind, so Li Tianya won this game very smoothly, and after a while he grasped the initiative of the game, attracting the opponent to run back and forth with him, and after a few minutes, the opponent has already won the opponent's left and right, panting and making the final struggle, seeing this, Li Tianya no longer delayed time, and directly took off into the air, and then stabbed at the opponent, looking at the air * Li Tianya, who was near, held a hammer young man, raised a double hammer and waved it in the air, but all this was in vain, when Li Tianya approached, he gently picked up the other party's hand, and the double hammer in the young man's hand fell heavily to the ground, and after politely making a gesture, Li Tianya left the ring.

Xie Piaoran's round can be described as a tragic victory, as soon as she came on the field, she fought directly with her low hand, both of them were seriously injured, and in the end, Xie Piaoran won because she was able to stand up after being seriously injured, and her opponent couldn't stand up because of a foot injury, Li Tianya looked at Xie Piaoran, who was covered in scars, strode forward to help her up, and said reproachfully, "Are you dying, do you know that the consequences are very serious" Xie Piaoran heard Li Tianya's scolding, and just said lightly" If I can't enter the Lingyun Sect with you, how boring my life will be, instead of living that boring life, I might as well take a gamble, don't I win the bet now, hehe" Hearing Xie Piaoran's explanation, Li Tianya couldn't raise the slightest anger, just carefully helped Xie Piaoran, walked out of the crowd, and prepared to find a clinic to ask Xie Piaoran to treat his wounds. Because he already knew in advance that the final was set for tomorrow, he didn't have anything to do here, and everything would wait until tomorrow to see.

Leaning on Li Tianya's body, although Xie Piaoran was seriously injured, she was still very happy, she made the best efforts for her goal, even if she was eliminated tomorrow, she had no regrets, and found a famous Lang Zhong in the city to clean up Xie Piaoran's wounds, after applying the medicine, Li Tianya did not do any stop, and went home directly with Xie Piaoran on his back.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Tianya got up very early, he was also very worried about Xie Piaoran, and when he came to the door of the room, he heard Xie Piaoran's voice coming from inside, "I said, I'm fine, I must go to the final competition today, otherwise my previous efforts will be in vain, do you want to watch me get injured in vain" "But, Miss, the master said that you should recuperate at home" "My own body knows best, don't stop me, I will explain it myself to my father" Listening to Li Tianya, he went directly into Xie Piaoran's room without knocking on the door, "You all go down, I will be responsible for the safety of the young lady" Li Tianya knew that no one could persuade Xie Piaoran today, so he simply helped her directly, called everyone away, picked up Xie Piaoran and left Xie Mansion, and didn't say anything along the way.

When I came to the room where the lottery was drawn, I saw that there was no one, and I thought that I had come too early, and everyone hadn't arrived yet, but after waiting for a while, no one came, Li Tianya was a little anxious, what is the situation, it can't be that the finals have been held yesterday afternoon, and he didn't participate in it, if so, what should he do, it is regarded as an automatic abstention? Thinking about it, Li Tianya was also impatient, walking back and forth in the room, not knowing what to do, Xie Piaoran saw Li Tianya like this, and he was also comforted. Tianya, don't worry, things are not as bad as you think, it's not a matter if you wait here, go directly to find a passer-by around and ask if you know what's going on soon" It's really a person who is in a hurry and everything is messed up, Li Tianya heard Xie Piaoran's suggestion, and he also came to his senses, and asked Xie Piaoran to wait here, and went out to find someone to ask, and Li Tianya came back, with a smile on his face, rushed to Xie Piaoran and picked her up, and then said happily, "Piaoran, it's too thick, both of us have become members of the Lingyun Sect." Don't be like this, let people see it later, what's the situation, you let me down first" "Just now I went out and met a spectator who came to watch the battle yesterday, he told me that several elders of the Lingyun Sect felt that the quality of this year's players was very high, so they temporarily decided not to hold the finals, and the winner of the third round directly obtained the qualification to enter the Lingyun Sect, haha, did you say that God favored you, knowing that you couldn't participate in the competition today, you actually canceled the last round directly" "Then have you heard when to enter the sect?" I heard that Ling Yunzong had set their residence in Yuntian Restaurant for this selection meeting, so let's just go over and ask" After saying that, he happily picked up Xie Piaoran and walked towards the door. After a short time, the two came to Yuntian Restaurant, and after Xiao Er's announcement, Li Tianya helped Xie Piaoran to slowly go upstairs
