Chapter 14 [Winning the Competition]

The one-year martial arts apprenticeship deadline has arrived, and on this day, Senior Sister Jiao Ziyan represents that the disciples of the old school have the right to choose opponents first, so she first found the strongest opponent among these disciples, Chu Liying!

The head of the sect, Xuan Ming, announced the rules of the competition, all disciples can only be ordered to the end, limited to one stick of incense, if there is any injury to the surname, in addition to accepting the punishment of Taoist rules, they will also be expelled from the sect.

The first is Jiao Ziyan against Chu Liying. As a senior sister, Jiao Ziyan had naturally cultivated diligently in the past few months, raising her cultivation to the sixth layer. Although I don't know what Chu Liying's cultivation is now, there is always a shadow in my heart, and I dare not prevent myself from being defeated by Chu Liying.

The senior sister who is known as the overlord flower and the petite and moving Chu Liying stood together, and their eyes were all on Chu Liying. In addition to her eyebrows like green feathers and white snow, what is more important is that her petite body actually has a strong true qi surging outside her body, and that realm should be above the sixth layer.

"Senior sister, please make a move!" Chu Liying said to the senior sister who was walking lightly opposite and fiddling with her stilted buttocks.

"Okay! Take it! Look at the sword!" As soon as the words fell, before the sword left his body, a sword aura struck his face. Chu Liying dodged the sword qi sideways, pinched the trick with her left hand, and walked with her feet, instantly reflected behind Jiao Ziyan, and then a peachwood sword rose into the air and swept towards Jiao Ziyan.

Ten rounds, both of them are up and down, at this time, Chu Liying took the peachwood sword in her left hand, rolled over and rotated 720 degrees, and performed the seventh style of Taiji swordsmanship "Jade Void Overlapping Shadow", a burst of Taiji sword qi floated towards Jiao Ziyan in the form of gossip sword qi, Jiao Ziyan knew that she couldn't avoid this sword qi, so she directly fell down and pressed the peachwood sword under her, a peachwood sword was pressed by her to the extreme, and instantly bounced Jiao Ziyan up, Jiao Ziyan performed a 180-degree rollover, and stabbed the peachwood sword towards Chu Liying on her back.

Chu Liying stepped into action, jumped in front of the flying peachwood sword and stretched out his hand to grab it, and then with a move of the Taiji Sword Technique Eighth Style "Ice and Fire Sword Shadow", the peachwood sword immediately condensed into an ice sword and turned into a burst of burning sword qi and shot towards Jiao Ziyan.

Jiao Ziyan also performed Bugang fighting, and as soon as the peachwood sword was taken out of his hand, the peachwood sword was intercepted in the air by the sword qi in the air, and after a few rotations, the peachwood sword was inserted into the ground, and the remaining sword qi still rushed towards Jiao Ziyan.

Chu Liying knew that something was wrong, she recited the mantra in her mouth, pinched the trick with her left hand, and landed in front of Jiao Ziyan after a burst of step fighting, shouting "Collect the sword!", and then all the sword qi disappeared from the flames, Chu Liying kicked the sword on the ground with one kick, and the impact of the sword and the sword qi caused a strong explosive airflow, and suddenly the two peachwood swords turned into a piece of powder and slowly landed on the ground.

"Senior Sister Chu Liying, I admit defeat!" Jiao Ziyan lowered her head and didn't dare to face it, although she thought that she might be defeated, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and she had already been defeated in the fourth move in the eleventh round. Many of the juniors and disciples in the audience who were with the senior sister were in an uproar.

"Senior sister, it's just a competition, there is no difference between winning and losing, not to mention that cultivation is just to protect yourself and defend your homeland, so why bother yourself with this. Chu Liying couldn't believe it, this was said by a sixteen-year-old girl, it seemed that the path of cultivation had indeed made her much more sensible.

"Here's Li Chuxun vs. Xiao Tianwen!" Under the guidance of the Dao Chief, the two teenagers had already gone through the etiquette before the competition.

Xiao Tianwen was a disciple three years ago, a smile was raised on his heroic face, and his handsome face immediately attracted the sighs of several girls in the group of disciples three years ago, and Chu Liying was unconsciously attracted by this handsome face.

Xiao Tianwen took off the peachwood sword behind him, and then danced a Tai Chi Bagua diagram. And Li Chuxun did not take out the peachwood sword, but directly spread his palm and asked Xiao Tian.

Seeing that Li Chuxun didn't take himself in his eyes like this, Xiao Tianwen was excited for a while and couldn't wait to pull out the sword for Li Chuxun. Xiao Tianwen arranged the peachwood sword in his hand into a line, and then pinched it with his left hand, and after an invisible true qi surged all over his body, Xiao Tianwen picked up the sword body and shot out a sword qi that spun and shot towards Li Chuxun, and the true qi and sword qi shot out together like two spinning thorns that extended towards Li Chuxun.

Li Chuxun put his hands together, then rotated to the sides, and a Tai Chi Bagua diagram aura appeared in the palm of his hand, and then Li Chuxun palmed his hands, and the Tai Chi Bagua Diagram met Xiao Tianwen's sword qi like a spinning flying saucer. When the Tai Chi Bagua diagram and the sword qi collided together, a burst of gravel exploded on the ground where they were hit, and the force and wind generated by the collision of the two breaths blew the long sideburns and bangs of the two people to swing, and the Dao robe also rose with the wind.

"Wow! handsome!" I don't know if the female disciples are praising Xiao Tianwen or Li Chuxun, but I only know that the momentum and figure of the two of them are all chic at this moment. The strength of the two is equal, and Li Chuxun even wondered if this Xiao Tianwen was also hiding his strength, he used eighty percent of his strength to cultivate, but he was only on par with the other party, if Xiao Tianwen didn't exert all his strength, then if his hidden strength was not revealed, wouldn't he be defeated under him.

Li Chuxun then spread his hands, swinging clockwise in a yin and yang shape, and then faster and faster, until the two arms had danced together, conjuring countless hand shadows, and then after a "drink!", a move "Phantom Bagua Palm" attacked Xiao Tianwen. Although Li Chuxun did not use his hidden strength, he used his whole body strength and cultivation to ten layers, if Xiao Tianwen really had the same strength as himself, he would definitely be able to dodge this move, unless he also hid his strength.

"Phantom Bagua Palm!" Just when Li Chuxun used this trick of the Tai Chi palm technique that was secretly passed down by the Xuanxin Dao Elder, Xiao Tianwen also sent out the Phantom Bagua Palm at the same time to attack Li Chuxun. The disciples in the audience were all shocked, they had never learned this set of palm techniques after cultivating for so long, but the two of them used this palm technique at the same time.

The two palms were like countless hand shadows on both sides hitting each other in the air, and these two palms accompanied by the palm wind blew a gust of wind in the entire arena. After the palms collided, there was a "boom!", which shook the two of them back several meters as if an explosion had occurred, and the huge shock force made all the disciples standing feel a sense of shaking.

"The two disciples are said to be tied today!, but your cultivation realm and skill have exceeded the range predicted by the teacher, so the two disciples will be sent directly into the quota of the martial arts competition for the master!" As soon as the Xuanxin Dao Leader finished speaking, all the disciples, including the Dao Master, let out bursts of admiration. All the disciples present were sincerely convinced, but there was only one person who never applauded or envied, and he was Zhang Kui. He had only one thought: no one could be stronger than him, no one could snatch the apprenticeship spot he valued, and no one could prevent him from becoming the overlord of Shenzhou. Now the teenagers who surpass him are only temporary, and one day he will take back all the strength and honor.

"Next is Wu Li vs. Tianyu!" Xuanxin Dao Chang read the disciples of the battle all the way, and in this way, in addition to Zhang Kui and Jin Zaomu, the rest of the people also became three consecutive victorious disciples against the disciples of the former Shangshan Sect, Jin Zaomu won one win and two losses, while Zhang Kui had two losses and one draw.

Jin Zao Mu didn't care about fame, fortune and realm, because in his opinion, he and his cousin Tianyu only needed one person to become an immortal to complete the mission of saving their village, and what did it matter who could become an immortal.

However, Zhang Kui's heart was full of hatred and extremism, he felt that Xuanxin Dao Chang's deliberate indifference and ruthlessness to him led to his defeat, and one day he would get everything back, he swore a poisonous oath in his heart, and unconsciously his slender nails pinched into his palms, bleeding blood of anger and hatred.

After the competition, the head of Xuan Ming announced the list of disciples who won the competition, and then asked all the disciples to return to their dormitories to meditate on their beds, and they didn't have to go outside the side door to practice for several days, and explained that no one was allowed to leave the room for half a step.

Xuan Ming's idea was very simple, hone their patience, especially mortal hearts! Regardless of whether they won or lost the competition, after a week, the seven disciples who finally walked out of the room would become the disciples who really won the martial arts competition in his heart, and at the same time, it was also to discuss the important matter with the head of the sect after settling the disciples, as for this important matter, it was related to the survival of the Sanqing faction.

All the disciples sat on their stone beds and meditated and cultivated, and in the dormitory they did not leave any food except tea and night pots, and it seemed that in addition to stamina, they also had to cultivate their willpower.

First of all, Zhang Kui couldn't sit still, and it was already dark after sitting for five hours. He wondered if in addition to himself and the three people in this room, other people might be receiving special treatment from the master, and maybe even the master was cheating, obviously planning a candidate in his heart.

He quietly stepped out of bed and hid by the crack in the door to observe the situation outside, when suddenly another disciple in the room noticed his actions, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

"Shhhh Zhang Kui put his eyes on the crack in the door, and noticed that there was no movement outside, so he slipped out of the room and hid behind a pillar.

Zhang Kui listened quietly at the door of each room for a while like a thief, and there was no movement at all. So they continued to shuttle between several halls, not a single figure was found, and gradually stopped at the door of a room near the backyard, where there was a faint light reflecting several figures, and they could recognize at a glance that they were the shadows of Master and Xuan Ming.

Zhang Kui slowed his breath to silence, then quietly approached the window of the room, and then heard the Taoist chief talking to something.

"Since the Tongtian Sect has fallen into the Demon Dao, we should do the Dao for the Heavens!"

"Yes, why don't we annihilate the Demon Sect in one fell swoop!"

"Uncles, Taoist chiefs, what I can do as the head of the sect is to call all the divided Taoist sects together, and if you are outside, you must first settle inside, so that the people of the world will become dead souls because of our internal sects, that is not my style!"

"Senior brother in charge, don't blame the junior brother for saying more, the so-called river mussels compete for fishermen and profits, if you don't annihilate the Demon Sect, then it will be the Demon Realm that will rule the Divine Continent!"

"It's better to let Uncle Void go to Kunlun Mountain to obtain the Book of Heaven as soon as possible, and then hold a demon slaying conference!"

"Ahh

"Who?" The head of the sect first landed in front of Zhang Kui, only to see that sword qi passed through Zhang Kui's abdomen, and a stream of blood gushed out. The eyes that had just been slightly opened closed instantly, and then he passed out.

The rest of the Dao Masters all turned into sword shadows and landed around Zhang Kui, only Xuan Xin slowly walked out of the room, "It seems that it was my negligence, Senior Brother in charge, I..."

"I don't blame you for this, come here!Send him to the Dan Pharmacy to take good care of him, and send him down the mountain when his surname is worry-free!" In Xuan Ming's tone, the fate of this young man had already been vetoed.

"Xiao Daotong is a child after all, it's not appropriate to let them watch so many disciples after all, this matter will be said later, Senior Brother Xuanxin will go back first!"

"Yes!" Xuan Xin finished speaking, turning into a sword shadow and flying towards the bedroom.

Three days have passed, and the endurance of the disciples is also extraordinary, except for Zhang Kui, who has fallen into a coma, the rest of the disciples are all quietly cultivating in the room.

On the fourth, fifth, and sixth days, no one came out of the room as each day passed, and Xiao Daotong had all checked every disciple, all of them were meditating and cultivating on their beds. It seems that Xuanxin Dao Master really underestimated the abilities of his disciples.

From the seventh day onwards, some people gradually became unable to sit still. It turned out that Xiao Daotong set up a few stoves, on which there was a broth made of wild vegetables and animal meat, and Xiao Daotong used a fan to fan the smell into the crack of the door, and after a burst of incense, the stomachs of the disciples were all extremely uncomfortable, and the hungry sound of "grunt" came from the stomachs of each disciple.

Finally, as Xuanxin Daoist expected, more than thirty disciples had already come out twenty, when Xiao Daotong said, "Whoever comes out first can eat meat and drink fresh soup first, and then come out without eating!", some disciples who couldn't stand it even jumped out of the half-hidden window, where could the teenagers who had not eaten for seven days resist the temptation of this kind of food.

Chu Liying was not hungry, she was even the first person to imagine in her mind how the delicious taste in this pot of soup would have an endless aftertaste. For the sake of the apprenticeship that Xuanxin Daoist said, and in order to prove that she must not lose to the teenagers who cast envious eyes on her, the pot of delicious broth in her mind presents a gossip map, and the few pieces of floating meat and wild vegetables change their yin and yang in the gossip, combining rigidity and softness, especially every move and style of Tai Chi swordsmanship is contained in it.

The realm of thought is infinite, the fresh soup in Chu Liying's eyes has evolved into a cultivation map in her heart, heaven and earth are said to be moon and stars, gold, wood, water, fire, wind and thunder, in an instant, Chu Liying's true qi is reversed, and the breath of her whole body is unimpeded, and the reversal of her true qi can actually make her whole body full of strength, is this the secret of breaking through the so-called seventh layer bottleneck.

Jiao Ziyan, who was in the same bedroom with Chu Liying, felt that Chu Liying's true qi was gradually getting stronger, and even exuded an incomparably powerful aura that made Jiao Ziyan feel a sense of oppression, she opened her eyes, and Chu Liying in front of her was covered in transparent beads of sweat, and her chest rose and fell one after another beyond the speed of her heartbeat. What surprised her even more was that Chu Li's shadow was imprinted on the wall, as if there was a Tai Chi Bagua diagram appearing in a virtual shadow, and in an instant, the whole room was full of Chu Liying's shadow swimming on the wall.

"Hey!hey!" Chu Liying's palms gradually raised and shook outward, and after a loud roar, the entire room shook and slowly calmed down.

"Senior Sister Chu Liying, have you broken through the bottleneck?" Jiao Ziyan asked, with a look of amazement on her face.

"Well, yes, I have finally reached the seventh layer realm!" Chu Liying was filled with a stronger sense of pride, and her smile was so genuine.

"Second Senior Uncle, I heard them say that Sister Chu Liying has broken through the seventh layer!" a little Taoist boy ran towards Xuan Xin Dao Chang, shouting as he ran.

"The seventh layer, it's impossible, the Dao Master and the master are not only on the eighth level, and it takes more than a year to reach the seventh layer, are they still people?" exclaimed the disciples who surrounded the pot of broth.

"They're really better than us!Why am I so useless!" Wu Li threw away the peach chopsticks with wild vegetables in frustration.

"Although we are not highly qualified, we are also men with perseverance, how can we be surpassed by weak women!"

"That's it, men have been ......on the battlefield since ancient times," I don't know who said, and after I don't know who said it, a burst of laughter suddenly came from another room.

"Hahaha! I succeeded! I broke through the seventh layer!" Equally excited was the talented Tianyu, whose real name was Jin Tianyu, but he preferred to call himself 'Shocking Tianyu'. He always said that his father and mother named him in order to shock the earth and make himself famous. And he didn't disappoint his father and mother, and he was always able to do things that mortals couldn't.

"Sure enough, it lives up to expectations, and it is really a blessing to have two such outstanding apprentices as a teacher!"

"Second Senior Uncle, Second Senior Uncle! Li Chuxun and Xiao Tianwen have also broken through the seventh layer!" another little Taoist boy jumped in front of Xuanxin Daoist and shouted.

No, it seems that Poor Dao really underestimated this group of teenagers with superior will, "Hahaha! Okay! Poor Dao is finally worthy of all the masters!" Xuanxin Dao Chang's words made the disciples who were gathered around the fresh soup not far away feel ashamed, and it seemed that the number of closed disciples who could worship a few masters was already out of his turn.

"Okay, okay! All the disciples should come out! There is already a clear candidate for the teacher, and tomorrow at noon, the teacher will personally see off a few disciples!" However, for him, the candidate in his heart has actually been drawn up a long time ago, just to see who is stronger.

Seeing them off? Could it be that the Dao Master is letting the strongest disciple among us leave here? Or is the teacher we worship being the Heavenly Realm God Clan? All kinds of questions swirled in the minds of many disciples, and although they guessed that they could never be the chosen closed disciples, they still kept a glimmer of hope for themselves.
