Chapter 16 Inner Door Selection
In the early morning, the sky is clear and clear like a mirror, and the Sky Splitting Sword Gate is full of people, and the flow of people is like the sea.
Many famous families have entered the martial arts arena early to watch the biennial Heaven Splitting Sword Sect Inner Sect Disciple Selection Conference, this event has always been quite prosperous, people will definitely not let go of this opportunity to feast their eyes, some people have come early to occupy a favorable position. This year is even more lively, even the Ji family of the Wolong Mountain Range, including the Ji family of Wanjian City, the Ouyang family of Mufeng City, the Gongsun family of Qingxia City, and some other small sects have also appeared on the viewing platform one after another. Powerful forces naturally do not need to seize positions, and there are special viewing places for them.
Ji Xiaotian, the head of the Ji family, and Ouyang Huxiao, the head of the Ouyang family, sat next to each other, although the two have not officially formed a family at present, they are obviously close to each other, and they are a pleasant greeting and compliment.
After a while, Duan Zhenkun, the master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, stood on the high platform with his head held high in full armor, and shouted in a deep voice: "Thank you for coming, it's an honor......" The Lord of the Heaven Splitting Gate said a polite word and announced the selection rules again, the person who participated in the registration must defeat the corresponding beast cultivator to obtain the spar of the beast cultivator in order to obtain the qualification of the disciple of the inner door, and the strength of the beast cultivator is determined by drawing lots, and the cultivator must draw the corresponding strength of the beast cultivator according to the corresponding rank.
The three popular figures Duan Yu, Lei Ba, and Fu Wu stood at the front of the registration team, and there were more than a dozen disciples of the outer sect behind them, one by one, of course, there were also people secretly praying that they would not draw a powerful cultivation beast, otherwise the two years of hard work would be in vain.
An inner disciple deacon was in charge of counting the number of people, and when he found out that Long Xu's name was there, he immediately felt a little ridiculous, and immediately asked Wang Dabeard: "What's the matter? An outer disciple who has no cultivation dares to sign up? Isn't this looking for death!"
When Wang Dabeard heard the words of the inner disciple deacon, he naturally explained the reason for the matter, and after knowing the ins and outs, the deacon was naturally angry. Duan Zhenkun, the master of the sect, and Yu Hongchang, the eldest disciple, saw the scene here and came over to find out what was going on.
"This ...... Back to the master, this is what Long Xu himself insisted on signing up. Wang Dabeard said stupidly.
"Where is the other man? Call him out. Duan Zhenkun frowned when he heard this, and shouted to the group of applicants. But Long Xu was not in the team.
Duan Zhenkun, the master of the Heaven Splitting Gate, looked indifferent, and said: "Forget it, let's be punished according to abstention, go back and punish it well, and treat such a solemn selection meeting for the children of the inner sect as child's play." ”
When Wang Dabeard heard this, he announced loudly: "Long Xu failed to arrive in time, and he will be punished as abstention." ”
"Wait a minute, I'm coming!" Long Xu rushed in disheveled, sweating profusely.
"Long Xu, you are so bold, you dare to be late for such a grand event, you ...... Look at what kind of body you have become when you appear in front of the public in disheveled clothes. The eldest disciple Yu Hongchang immediately reprimanded angrily. It turned out that Long Xu got up early in the morning, and when he saw that it was still early, he went to the open space to practice the Sky Splitting Sword Technique, who knew that he almost missed the time.
"Door Master, please forgive your sins, ...... below"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you step down, you have nothing to do with the selection of the inner disciples. Duan Zhenkun disdained to talk too much with Long Xu, and immediately drank and ordered him to retreat. The attitude of the door master Duan Zhenkun and Yu Hongchang towards Long Xu is obviously very different, Yu Hongchang is angry but only blames Long Xu for taking his name as a child's play to sign up for this inner disciple election meeting, and there is this disheveled appearance in the martial arts arena, but the door master Duan Zhenkun looks down on Long Xu in his heart, and he doesn't even bother to say a few words to Long Xu.
Long Xu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Please give me a chance, I just want to prove myself." At this time, the person next to him also began to whisper, pointing at Long Xu, his eyes were full of contempt.
"An outer disciple who has not cultivated dares to come and sign up for the inner disciple selection conference, and he wants to be an inner disciple and wants to go crazy. ”
"I think he's purely looking for death, the lowest beast cultivators in there are all martial artist ranks. ”
"Let him go, this kid is impatient, can anyone stop him?"
Duan Zhenkun immediately became furious, and said to the other outer disciples next to him, "Drag the kid out for me!" Several big men stepped forward, ready to take Long Xu out.
"Wait, door master, since Long Xu also signed up for the selection conference like all of us, should he try it?" Although Duan Zhenkun is Duan Yu's father, the door has door rules, and Duan Yu still has to call Duan Zhenkun the door master in front of people. Of course, there is no need for this in private. Duan Yu saw that kind of confidence and anger in Long Xu's eyes, and naturally he also knew that Long Xu was not the kind of person who messed around casually since he was a child, and since he signed up for the competition, he must have a certain degree of certainty.
Duan Zhenkun immediately showed embarrassment, but Ji Xiaotian, the head of the Ji family in Ten Thousand Sword City, had a malicious smile on his face at this moment, and said, "Why is it that the famous Heaven Splitting Sword Sect is still quarreled over this trivial matter? Deaths and injuries have always been inevitable in the Inner Sect Disciple Selection Conference, unless you are afraid of being embarrassed ......"
Duan Zhenkun, the master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, immediately had a little uneasiness on his face, and said directly to Duan Yu: "Let him participate!" Seeing that the door master spoke, the others of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate stopped saying anything.
"Long Xu has returned to the team, and now he is set off to enter the martial arts arena. The inner disciple deacon shouted.
Under the command of the inner disciple deacon, a group of cultivators lined up in three rows and walked to the side of the martial arts arena in turn, and a low beast roar came from time to time in the martial arts arena below, which made people feel creepy. The outer disciple cultivators needed to enter the valley below that was ten zhang square and fight viciously with the cultivators. Long Xu tried to squeeze forward, but was stopped by Fu Wu, and said coldly: "Only the strong can stand in this position, people like you are not worthy!" ”
"What if I don't want to?" Long Xu squinted slightly and said in a deep voice. Duan Yu saw that the conflict between the two was about to break out, and said to Long Xu: "Long Xu, come here, I can see it more clearly." Long Xu immediately walked to Duan Yu's side, showing a grateful smile, while Duan Yu carefully helped Long Xu explain the following several powerful cultivation beasts, hoping to bring him some help.
"That's just a cold fire poisonous beast, you will know when you hear the name, it will release poison, breathe fire, and it is also the most ferocious one, it must be killed as quickly as possible, otherwise once it releases a poisonous mist, it will be very difficult to deal with, ......it is estimated that it will be arranged for me!
With the sound of a cannon, a group of cultivators began to draw lots one by one in order, entering the beast field below, Long Xu looked down at the lot in his hand, and there was not much fluctuation in his heart. The few people who went down before him, many of them were knocked to the ground by the cultivators because of their lack of strength, and finally the inner disciples who were in charge of the defense work took action in time to stop the further attacks of the cultivators. Many cultivators already possessed the IQ of a simple person, and they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of such a master as an inner disciple with a higher cultivation.
Lei Ba and Fu Wu defeated the cultivation beast that they had drawn without danger and obtained the crystal source, walked out of it with the look of a proud person, and deliberately glanced at Long Xu's side, maybe this was also deliberately arranged The strength of the cultivation beast fighting against the two is not particularly strong.
Later, it was Duan Yu's turn to play, and as expected, he drew the fierce cold fire poisonous beast, which was actually the arrangement of Duan Zhenkun, the master of the Heaven Splitting Gate. In fact, even if Duan Yu does not participate in the inner disciple selection competition and becomes an inner disciple, it is also a matter of Duan Zhenkun's words, but Duan Zhenkun naturally knows that no good flowers can be cultivated in the greenhouse, he just wants everyone in the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect to know that his son Duan Yu can inherit the sect and become the master of the future sect, not by relying on his own relationship to protect but with real talent and learning. In addition, Duan Zhenkun naturally also had some plans, Duan Yu was the young master of the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, and this arrangement also wanted Duan Yu to reveal his true skills so as to attract some potential inner and outer disciples, and obtain a greater foundation for Duan Yu's future development alone in the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate in the future.
Howl...... The Cold Fire Poison Beast was extremely violent, and as soon as it came out of the beast pen, it opened its bloody mouth, and seemed extremely dissatisfied with being locked up. A pair of blood-colored eyes were fierce and generous, and he looked up and down at the small human in front of him, which seemed to be extremely disdainful. I saw his thick claw arm slash through the void, forming a thick arm and slamming it down. Duan Yu's body jumped backwards in place, avoiding this violent wave of qi, and a half-meter-deep ravine appeared in the area where he was before, which was enough to see the strength of the Cold Fire Poison Beast.
Seeing that the blow could not be successful, the cumbersome body of the Cold Fire Poison Beast suddenly soared into the air and cast a shadow, pressing towards Duan Yu. Duan Yu was caught off guard, he didn't expect the other party's speed to be so fast, and he was immediately knocked into the square, and the whole person flew out diagonally.
"This cold fire poisonous beast is already at the rank of a military general, no wonder it is so strong, Yu'er is afraid that if he wants to win, he will have to go through a fierce battle. Duan Zhenkun, the main master of the Heaven Splitting Gate, paid close attention to the battle in the field and said softly. The eldest disciple Yu Hongchang replied with a smile: "The master of the door is too worried, his subordinates have already taught all the first six styles of the Sky Splitting Sword Technique to the young master, presumably it will not be a problem for the young master to win!"
On the viewing platform, Duan Rong was also nervously watching the battle in the field, she almost screamed when she saw her brother being knocked out by the beast, there have always been three people who are the most important in her mind, her father Duan Zhenkun, her brother Duan Yu, and Long Xu, and today there are two of them who are going to face a fierce battle, how can they not affect her sensitive nerves?
"Brother, you must win, and Long Xu......" Duan Rong held her hands in front of her chest, her eyes kept glued to the field, and she kept whispering prayers in her mouth.
Duan Yu was furious, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, got up from the ground, and then rushed forward with his strength, a fierce fist was struck, and it instantly swelled into the size of a grinding disc like lightning breaking through the sky. At the last moment, the Cold Fire Poison Beast roared, and its arm shadow quickly condensed a protective light curtain in front of him. Boom! There was a bang, and the light curtain of fist explosion disappeared, and only the suddenly rising air wave stirred in the field. The body of the Cold Fire Poison Beast shook a few times, and three blazing flames erupted from its mouth like materialized magma.
Boom, boom, boom! The three flames broke through the air, shooting at Duan Yu in the upper, middle and lower, Duan Yu did not dare to slack off at all, and his body technique was used to the limit, and he swept out more than ten meters three times in a row, and the sleeve of his left arm was still ignited by the scorching flames, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly and quickly tore off his clothes. This fierce battle made the people watching praise quickly, and Duan praised his cultivation as an absolute eye-catcher.
Damn, this guy must be dealt with as soon as possible, Duan Yu secretly became a little anxious in his heart, because he felt that the power of the Cold Fire Poisonous Beast was still getting stronger, and if the other party spewed out a poisonous mist, it would be even more difficult to deal with. The Cold Fire Poison Beast continued to spew out flames, and at the same time, its thick claws and arms continued to fall from the high heavenly cover, leaving large pits on the ground, although Duan Yu had dodged back and forth like lightning, he was more or less hit by the other party several times, leaving a lot of scars on his body.
At the moment when there was no room for it, Duan Yu unleashed the Sky Splitting Sword Technique in mid-air, the snowy sword was like a Nine Heavens artifact, several zhang long and unmatched, and in an instant, it slashed through the dark scale armor of the Cold Fire Poison Beast and made a sonorous sound. Poof! Large blood flowers splattered out from the shattered scales of the Cold Fire Poisonous Beast, and a strong fishy smell surrounded them. Before everyone had time to cheer, the Cold Fire Poison Beast let out a deafening roar, startling the other cultivators in the beast pen to the ground, and the body as big as a small mountain suddenly took off, and its right claw swept through the air and hit Duan Yu's chest hard.
The Cold Fire Poison Beast struck with anger and was so furious, Duan Yu immediately snorted and flew out upside down like a meteorite, and the whole person was almost attached to the smooth stone wall, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood one after another. The Cold Fire Poison Beast succeeded in its pursuit and was about to kill Duan Yu, but it never expected that this small person in front of it would be able to cut through its scale armor. Just as the pitch-black claw arm was about to touch Duan Yu's throat, Duan Yu was short, and a fierce wind whistled above his head. Everyone was shocked into a cold sweat, the situation just now was too dangerous, if they couldn't dodge, they were afraid that they would be pinched by the cold fire poisonous beast, and even Duan Zhenkun was shocked into a cold sweat.
Duan Yu rolled on the spot, the sword light in his hand skyrocketed, and two rays of light burst out one after another, tearing apart the abdomen of the Cold Fire Poison Beast again, some intestines were exposed, blood gushed out, and a large area of soil in the field was stained red. The enraged Cold Fire Poison Beast shook its body, and a large red poisonous mist floated out from around it, covering half of its body in a short time.
"Yu'er, be careful of the poisonous fog!" Duan Zhenkun hurriedly reminded. Now, Duan Zhenkun somewhat regretted letting his son fight with the most ferocious cultivator. Duan Yu had already held his breath, but the spread speed of the poisonous mist exceeded his expectations, and soon Duan Yu couldn't find the exact location of the Cold Fire Poisonous Beast at all.
A palm flew in, and Duan Yu's left shoulder was hit squarely, making him grin in pain. Two more palms flashed out of the poisonous mist, hitting Duan Yu's chest and abdomen respectively, and these two forces pulled him off the ground and flew out diagonally. Poof! Duan Yu spat out a mouthful of blood violently, and his whole body was in pain. The inner disciple in charge of the security work was about to shoot the Cold Fire Poison Beast to death, but was stopped by Duan Yu. Duan Yu still wants to defeat his opponent with his own strength, and he has this confidence.
I saw Duan Yu's upright body suddenly shouting, and the second form of the Heaven Splitting Sword Technique slashed out like flowing water. The sharp long sword pierced into the top of the Cold Fire Poisonous Beast's head, revealing only a piece of the sword hilt outside, and Duan Yu was also knocked out by the Cold Fire Poisonous Beast, and immediately let out the breath in his mouth and inhaled several mouthfuls of poisonous gas. Boom! The moment the Cold Fire Poisonous Beast fell to the ground with a bang, the inner disciples who had been waiting on the side hurriedly flashed forward and rescued Duan Yu from the poisonous mist.
"Duan Yusheng, congratulations to Duan Yu for becoming a new disciple of the inner sect!" Elder Hong Changzi announced loudly. Everyone knew the strength of the Cold Fire Poison Beast, and they couldn't imagine that Duan Yu could reverse the defeat at the last moment with his extraordinary strength, which was really impressive.
Just as Duan Yu was being carried down on a stretcher, he said to Long Xu: "Be careful, you will definitely do it, I will wait for your good news later." At this moment, Duan Yu's injuries were not light, and he had to be treated quickly, Long Xu looked at him deeply and nodded.
