In a blink of an eye, it was time for the five veins to be tested.

The Five Veins Examination is a competition between the new generation of disciples of each lineage of the sect, which is a way to test the cultivation and increase the combat experience of the disciples.

The competition is determined by drawing lots, two people in a group, a total of three rounds, and finally the three winners are selected, and then three ordinary disciples are selected from the previous disciples, and the new winning disciples are grouped to compete, and the new disciples will be rewarded by the sect regardless of whether they win or lose. Of course, if you win, you will be rewarded with great rewards.

Early in the morning on the day of the test, the competition square of the ethereal peak was crowded with people, and the competition ring had already been arranged on the wide square. Ling Yifan walked through the crowded crowd, came to the registration office to report his name, drew a number plate, the opponent was 'No. 10', looking at the number plate in his hand, Ling Yifan didn't care, today's real strength gave him the confidence to face his opponent.

After drawing lots and dividing into groups, Ling Yifan came to his own ring and waited, there were fifty disciples in this year, the first round was twenty-five groups, and half of them would be eliminated after the first round of competition.

There are a total of seven rings here, and many onlookers gather in front of each ring, all cheering for themselves. The five elders of the sect also came to the scene to maintain order, and even the five first divine senses appeared here, observing the upcoming competition.

The presiding elder was still Wanyue Mountain, and he only heard his deep voice echo over the entire square, "The competition will start immediately, and all the disciples who participated in the competition will wait in front of their respective rings and obey the arrangements of the deacon elders!"

A moment later, under the arrangement of the deacon elders, a pair of disciples who had been divided into groups walked into the ring, and there were bursts of shouts and cheers from the audience.

The competition reached ** in the cheering and cheering, and finally it was Ling Yifan's turn to play, but most of the people in the audience who shouted and cheered were the other party's people, and there were only a few people on their own side, one is because there is only one person in the Huoyun Peak line among the disciples in this year's class, and those who came to cheer were all from the previous disciple who belonged to the same lineage, and most of those who did not come were not very optimistic about his qualifications as a waste vein.

I didn't care about the cold Ling Yifan in the audience, the opponent was just an ordinary disciple of this session, and his cultivation was just concentrating on the seventh order, although there was a gap in qualification, but now the cultivation of the second order was enough to make up for the defects in qualification, and the gap in cultivation made Ling Yifan win the other party without even casting the secret method.

Everyone in the audience was surprised, but then they reluctantly accepted this reality, after all, Ling Yifan's opponent's cultivation qualifications were also average, no matter who wins, it is reasonable and acceptable.

Ling Yifan was about to step out of the ring, when he suddenly found that Xu Leran appeared in the audience at some point, cheering for himself. Ling Yifan showed a smile on his face, jumped lightly to the stage, punched Xu Leran in the shoulder, and said heartily: "I knew you would come to cheer me on, haha!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Xu Leran's shoulders and walked out of the crowd, only to hear Xu Leran say in surprise: "You kid, every time I am very surprised, I didn't expect you to win!"

Ling Yifan coughed dryly, "Hehe, luck, luck!"

The two of them soon came to the registration office, and after the first round was over, they would prepare for the next second round, and the disciples who were selected for the next round of the competition would receive an elixir issued by the sect to restore their spiritual power, and the second round of the competition would begin after half an hour.

Ling Yifan took a look after drawing lots, and Xu Leran were both stunned for a while, 'bye', took the number plate in his hand, and asked the deacon disciples on the side, "What's going on?"

The deacon disciple looked at it and replied, "There are twenty-five people in this round, and there is an odd number, and one of them will enter the next round without having a bye." ”

Xu Leran slapped Ling Yifan fiercely, and said excitedly: "Amazing, you are so lucky, you don't need to compete to enter the next round." Let's go, you don't have to compete in the next round anyway, let's go to other rings to see the excitement. ”

Xu Leran pulled Ling Yifan to a ring, and before he walked far, he found that Xu Leran's expression was dark, seeing this situation, Ling Yifan was puzzled in his heart, "This guy looks like he should be the kind of person who is also leisurely and happy when the sky falls, how can he still have this distressed look!"

"Hey, what's wrong, this listless appearance, is there something on your mind, tell me!" Ling Yifan asked.

Xu Leran took out a letter from his arms with a gloomy expression, handed it to Ling Yifan and said, "There is just something I want you to help with!" said, pointing to a figure in the distance, "You can help me send it over!"

Ling Yifan followed the direction of Xu Leran's finger, and saw a girl in red in the bustling crowd not far ahead, and then he was stunned. I have long heard that this Xu Leran likes a girl named Ling Xiaoyu in Luoxia Peak, who has been pestering people for three days, but most of the times he touches his nose a lot, this Xu Leran also has perseverance and has been persevering.

"Haha, you should do this kind of thing by yourself, if you want me to go, wouldn't it seem that you are very insincere, you have been chasing others for several years, why are you shy now!" Ling Yifan teased Xu Leran.

Xu Leran said gloomily: "Don't chase it, it's been so many years, who made me have too poor qualifications, it's normal for people to dislike me, and the twisted melon is not sweet." I said don't be angry, I was the joke of the entire Ethereal Sect before you came, who would like me.

When I first went to the [Xuantian Secret Realm] to explore the treasure, I worked hard to cultivate to the smallest detail, just to be able to shorten the distance with her. Later, I found that no matter how hard I tried, even if I was barely able to do it, it still couldn't change my qualification defects, maybe this is the insurmountable gap between us!

I don't want to bother her, lest I be pointed at behind my back when I'm with me in the future, I don't care, how she has been a girl for a long time.

I've been thinking about it a lot these days, I don't have to get it if I like her, since we can't be together, let's hide it in my heart! Like me, I don't even have the ability to protect her in case of danger, and I may need her to protect me in turn, hey!

This letter has been on me for a long time, and I haven't had the courage to hand it over to her, so you can send it to me today, thank you Yifan. ”

After speaking, he didn't have the intention of staying here, and walked out of the crowd with a lonely expression, looking at Xu Leran's back who had left gloomily, Ling Yifan felt sad for a while.

Ling Yifan could deeply feel the feeling of powerlessness and struggle in the face of fate, because he had deeply felt it before he met the empty senior.

Ling Yifan sighed helplessly, and suddenly felt that the letter in his hand had become heavy, and he groaned for a while, and walked towards the red figure not far away.

Walking through the noisy crowd to the back of the red figure, Ling Yifan shouted, "Ling Xiaoyu!"

"Who is looking for me?" Ling Xiaoyu, who was shouting and cheering, replied with a big grin, and next to Ling Xiaoyu, a beautiful and dusty figure was stunned, and looked back at Ling Yifan, his eyes met, Ling Yifan's heart fluttered, nodded slightly, and looked straight at Ling Xiaoyu.

"I sent a letter for Xu Leran, he said that he would not pester you again in the future, he said that he had humble qualifications and could not be accepted by you, so he gave up, and did not want to make you annoyed and make himself miserable, you will understand after reading this letter. Ling Yifan handed Xu Leran's letter to Ling Xiaoyu.

Ling Yifan was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped and said to Ling Xiaoyu: "Xu Leran is my only friend in the Ethereal Sect, I want to say a few words for him." I know you're well-qualified, and everybody wants to be the best.

But it is not our will to have mediocre qualifications, you are just lucky to be blessed by God at birth with good qualifications. ”

Seeing that Ling Xiaoyu wanted to speak and stopped, Ling Yifan continued: "I know what you want to say, what you want to say, from the time everyone is born, their respective fate, identity and status are decided, so it is destined that you are not suitable, and the door is not right. But what I want to say is that even if you find someone with good qualifications and profound cultivation, what's the use of refusing to stand up for you in times of crisis? Although Xu Leran has humble qualifications and low cultivation, he will stand in front of you without hesitation when you are in danger, and there are humble men and women in this world but no humble love!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

Yun Mengyao on the side looked at Ling Yifan's Xiao Suo's back, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, she suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was different from before, Ling Yifan's words aroused a touch in her heart, "Yes, most of the disciples of the Ethereal Sect covet my appearance, which one can let me entrust for life!" suddenly remembered the scene in the stone cave back then, and the murderer still has no clues.

Yun Mengyao was still staring at the direction of Ling Yifan's disappearance, and the back that was not tall but made people feel tall still appeared in her mind, and a trace of inexplicable feelings inadvertently arose in Yun Mengyao's unconscious...

At this time, Ling Yifan stood in the corner and watched the competition unintentionally, quietly waiting for the end of the second round of the competition.

Ling Yifan took the number plate in his hand, smiled helplessly, and had a bye, and he didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.

In the end, the three rounds of competition ended, and a total of seven people were shortlisted including Ling Yifan. It stands to reason that three of the seven were to be elected, but because one of them would have a bye, it was decided to elect four after deliberation.

After the last lottery grouping, I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by God or a coincidence, Ling Yifan miraculously had a bye again. In other words, Ling Yifan only participated in one competition, and then entered the final that others dreamed of, and even the five divine senses watching the competition from the air were also smiling bitterly.

This final final is that the four finalists of the new session are randomly assigned to compete with the disciples of the previous session, but this time it is impossible to save the luck of the round, for Ling Yifan's unexpected shortlist, many people are holding the mentality of watching the excitement, thinking that he will lose in a round.

Looking at the number plate in his hand, the corners of Ling Yifan's mouth raised an arc, the number plate read, 'Li Xiujie', cultivation is the ninth order, remembering the humiliation he had at the entrance of the secret realm, Ling Yifan's heart was on fire, he had no strength to refute at the beginning, he could only endure the anger for a while, and he never thought that he would fall into his hands in this way today.

The final final was played in four rings at the same time, and it was also the most exciting and fierce of all the competitions. Every ring was full of disciples watching, but Ling Yifan's group of onlookers was a little less, and Li Xiujie also sneered in his heart in the ring. He had seen Ling Yifan unhappy for a long time, and he never dreamed that God would give him such a rare opportunity, in his opinion, God was asking him to teach this Ling Yifan a lesson.

In the ring, the two stood opposite each other, one left and one right, and suddenly, a white figure appeared in the corner of Ling Yifan's eyes, and he subconsciously turned his head to see that it was the expected Yun Mengyao.

Seeing the worry on his cold face, Ling Yifan felt a throbbing inexplicably in his heart, as if a lightning bolt crossed the bottom of his heart, and a trace of strange feelings spread in his heart like silk...

The defects of his qualifications, the lowliness of his strength, and his psychological inferiority made him dare not look directly at Yun Mengyao, and every contact he regarded as a pure friendship, and she was like a goddess who made him dare not have the slightest thought.

When the appearance of the empty Mochen, when the cultivation continues to improve, the strength continues to become stronger, and the dream of becoming a strong man is no longer far away, he feels that the distance between the two is constantly being narrowed, and the initial throbbing buried in the bottom of his heart is like the veins of the leaves beginning to spread in the bottom of his heart...

The eyes of the two fell on Li Xiujie's eyes, and they were suddenly jealous, and when Ling Yifan lost his mind, he bullied Ling Yifan as soon as his body moved, and at the same time raised his right fist.

Yun Mengyao exclaimed, Ling Yifan came back to his senses in a daze, and looked coldly at Li Xiujie's approaching figure...
