Linghai Pavilion of Lanzhou County. Tide Sound Cave.

On the small island, on the beach by the coral pavilion, Tan Yang is practicing ice bullet skills. When he was in Hulu Valley, he had witnessed with his own eyes that Wang Zhengyan used the ice bullet technique to freeze Zhuo Jin's big living life into an ice sculpture, although the ice bullet technique was a primary spell, but for low-level disciples, it was still a powerful means of attack.

After more than two months of hard work, Tan Yang can now condense qi into ice, but if he wants to condense ice bombs to attack the enemy, it is still far behind.

"Brother Tan, although your water attribute innate spirit source is strong enough, it is not easy to practice the Ice Bullet Technique overnight. Hu Mei'er said, "Seeing that the opening of the competition is imminent, I advise you to practice some methods that can be used immediately, and things must be prioritized." ”

Tan Yang stretched out his hand, looked at the layer of ice crystals condensed in his palm, and said with a smile: "I naturally understand this truth, I don't expect the ice bullet technique to be achieved overnight, but it is not much of a problem to practice the ice palm." Think about it, what would happen if my little phaseless Chiba hand was added with a freezing effect?"

"Well, that's a good idea. Hu Mei'er praised, "However, I feel that you should still focus on cultivating the talisman mask first, you are now attacking strong and defending weak, which is too unbalanced." ”

While the two were talking, a flying crane flew from the sky, and Yu Xiaoyu came.

A few days after Tan Yang returned from Panlong Mountain, Yu Xiaoyu's preliminary preparations for opening a store were ready, but unfortunately, Shopkeeper Li of Baibaolou did not accept the shares of the new store in the end, but only promised to help Yu Xiaoyu privately.

In the middle of last month, after some careful consideration, Tan Yang finally selected three stores for Yu Xiaoyu. One of the most remote stores was identified, and the Bandung firm officially opened for business.

"Shopkeeper Yu. How's business going?" said Hu Mei'er with a smile.

"It's okay, tepid. Yu Xiaoyu said. "The location of the store selected by Boss Tan has too little traffic, and the business is not good, it has been almost two months, and after deducting various expenses, I have earned less than a thousand spars. ”

"Brother Yu, don't be pressured. Tan Yang comforted, "Our opening of this store is actually just a disguise, and we can do it without losing money." Besides, you're a newbie after all, so take your time. ”

"Hmm. But opening the store like this is really a bit of a disappointment to your and Mei'er's expectations. Yu Xiaoyu said apologetically, as he spoke, he took out a small jade bottle and a few jade slips and handed them to Tan Yang, "This is a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, as well as the water system spell exercises you asked me to collect, I have collected so many so far, you can use it for the time being." ”

Tan Yang took the thing and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Yu." You've helped me a lot. ”

Yu Xiaoyu said: "In addition, I also brought you a not-so-good news this time, I heard from Shopkeeper Li that although Ask Xianlou has reached a settlement with Qingyang Sect. But things didn't come to a conclusion, they were still unwilling, and I heard that they had recently spent a lot of money to hire a Celestial Whisperer. Prepare to use secret techniques to find out the truth of the matter, and you must be careful during this time. ”

"Celestial Whisperer?" Tan Yang and Hu Mei'er were taken aback.

Linghai Pavilion. Back Mountain Proving Ground.

The Patrol Guard Promotion Contest has been carried out on the fifth day, and the promotion competition of the Jinyi Patrol Guard has just ended. After the event. Contestants who apply for the Iron Patrol Guard will hold a lottery ceremony here, and the first round of preliminary rounds will be held tomorrow.

It was dusk, and the trial ground was crowded with people, and only a few of these people were contestants, and most of the disciples came to observe the competition.

In the center of the trial ground, on the largest round competitive stone platform, Zhong Xiaoling and the Five Peaks Masters were present, Zhong Xiaoling was full of spring breeze, and the Masters were indifferent on their faces, but they all had a little expectation or apprehension in their hearts, and the Patrol Sea Guard Promotion Contest was also a big test to test the cultivation of the disciples of each peak, which was related to the face of each peak, and they couldn't help but pay attention to it.

After Zhong Xiaoling made a brief opening remark, he said loudly: "In this competition, a total of two hundred and twelve disciples have applied for the Iron Armor Patrol Sea Guard. For the sake of fairness, this tournament still follows the usual practice of drawing lots to determine the opponent of the competition, and each disciple will draw his or her own serial number, No. 1 against No. 2, No. 3 against No. 4, and so on, the loser is eliminated, and the winner advances to the next round. ”

In addition, in order to reward the winners of this competition, in addition to the top 20 who can successfully advance, the top three will also receive additional prizes. Well, let's start the draw now. ”

At this time, two deacon disciples stood up, one was responsible for recording the results of the lottery, and the other took the registration book and began to call out their names in the order of registration.

It didn't take long for more than two hundred disciples to complete the draw in turn, and it was finally Tan Yang's turn.

"Tan Yang, the 212th applicant, went to the stage to draw lots. ”

When the deacon's disciples shouted Tan Yang's name, everyone in the audience was in a commotion, this name was almost thunderous in Linghai Pavilion, and he almost became the biggest attraction of this competition.

In the eyes of everyone in the audience, a young man ran onto the arena, and said to Zhong Xiaoling respectfully with his fists: "Disciple Lu Zhe sees the pavilion master, it is inconvenient to go back and forth from Chaoyin Cave, Senior Brother Tan entrusted the disciple to draw lots for him, and he will come directly to the competition tomorrow, and please forgive the pavilion master." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on and off the stage.

Yuan Tiangang and the others standing in the audience glanced at each other, and the red-clothed young man surnamed Huo laughed in a low voice: "Shi Hao, you kid is like a god, and you guessed it." ”

Shi Hao said proudly: "But I didn't expect that this surnamed Tan not only didn't dare to participate, but he didn't even dare to draw lots." ”

Deng Kai shook his head and said, "No, with Tan Yang's character, it seems that he shouldn't act like this." ”

"It's all impulsive!" the Taoist disciple sneered, "In my opinion, Tan Yang must have been impulsive at that time, but after thinking about it, he began to pretend to be cowardly." ”

His voice was deliberately raised a few points, drawing echoes from the surroundings.

"It seems that this is indeed the case, just after being promoted to gather energy, wouldn't it be humiliating to apply for the ironclad patrol sea guard?"

"Yes, but Tan Yang is so rebellious and takes the competition as a child's play, it seems that he is too pampered and arrogant. ”

"Hey, I missed a great opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, I knew that I also signed up for the competition, this limelight is too easy. ”

......

Yuan Tiangang was self-conscious and didn't want to mention Tan Yang in public, so he just smiled disdainfully and didn't say a word.

In the midst of everyone's chaotic discussions, although Zhong Xiaoling was a little unhappy in his heart, he said quietly on his face: "Well, I know, Senior Nephew Lu, then you can draw lots for Tan Yang!"

Zhao Zhenren on the side said: "Pavilion Master, this move is inappropriate, Poor Dao estimates that Tan Yang is likely to have stage fright, I think not only should he be disqualified, but he should also be punished." ”

Zhao Zhenren's words are premature. Fang Fei said, "In order to draw lots, it is indeed a bit worthless to come all the way from Chaoyin Cave to Ling Haifeng." Pavilion Master, I think if Tan Yang really doesn't come to the competition tomorrow, it's not too late to punish him. ”

Zhong Xiaoling nodded and said, "Well, Fang Zhenren is reasonable, and he will wait until tomorrow." Senior Nephew Lu, you can draw lots for Tan Yang. ”

The next day, the Linghai Pavilion Trial Ground.

The sun rises in the east, and the ironclad patrol sea guard promotion competition officially kicked off, on the eight huge competitive stone platforms, sixteen participating disciples catch and fight, and under each arena, they are surrounded by bustling spectators.

The stage was filled with gunsmoke, and the audience cheered one after another, and it was very lively.

Lu Zhe had no intention of watching the game, and stood alone outside the trial ground, waiting for Tan Yang's arrival.

The third round of the competition has been completed, but there is still no trace of Tan Yang, Lu Zhe's heart can't help but secretly beat the drum, could it be that this Senior Brother Tan really flinched from the battle? If this is the case, then he will sit on wax, and he will definitely accompany Tan Yang to become the laughing stock of Ling Haige.

Just as he was scorching, he saw two small black dots flying far away from the sky, the small black dots flew closer and closer, and flew lower and lower, Lu Zhe finally saw clearly, a miscellaneous wild crane carrying a young man in blue, a golden flying feather carrying a girl in white, slowly fell from the sky.

"Senior Brother Tan, you're here!" Lu Zhefei ran to meet him.

Tan Yang put Xiao Daoyou into the spirit beast bracelet and said with a smile: "Let Senior Brother Lu wait for a long time, I'm not late, right?" Come, let me introduce you, this is Hu Mei'er Hu Daoyou, from the Fengshen Cave. ”

Lu Zhe and Hu Mei'er saluted each other, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel, what a beautiful girl! And she actually came from the mysterious Fengshen Cave! This Senior Brother Tan can make friends with such a girl, it is really unusual!

But at this time, he didn't have the heart to explore, and said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Tan, you are really calm, I thought you wouldn't come." Let's go to the proving ground, let's talk as we go. ”

"Don't worry, didn't you say that it was my turn in the eighth round?" Tan Yang said as he walked, "By the way, who is my opponent?"

In fact, Tan Yang and Hu Mei'er had already come to Ling Haifeng early, and the reason why they chose to enter the arena at this time was because the game was in full swing at this time, and everyone's attention should be on the arena, and he would not notice his arrival, he really didn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention.

Lu Zhe said: "You are the third arena, on the eighth round, your opponent is a disciple of Guanhaifeng named Xing Qinghe, the sixth-layer realm of gathering qi, it is said that his strength is at the average lower level among the participating disciples, and his swordsmanship is average, so much I know." ”

"Brother Tan, what am I talking about? Your luck is not ordinarily good. Hu Mei'er smiled and whispered, "It's just time to warm him up and get used to Linghai Pavilion's Tianji Nine Swords." ”

Lu Zhe couldn't believe his ears, what? A disciple who had just stepped into the realm of Qi Gathering actually wanted to warm up with a disciple of the sixth layer of Qi Gathering? Am I right?
