Chapter 7 Promotion Competition
Updated: 2013-03-28
Since taking over the task of the firewood room, Long Chen has returned to his old profession again, picking up firewood at the peak of the mountain where the registered disciples are located every day, although he is tired and weak every day when he comes back, and even turning his body over is a luxury, even so, this sense of richness in life makes Long Chen feel the meaning of life again.
A month later
"Xiaolong, it's time to get up, the sun is soaking your ass!"
Long Chen was asleep, suddenly heard a cry from outside the door, suddenly felt a thrill all over his body, opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, turned over, and quickly put on his clothes, that speed can apply for the Guinness World Record.
At this time, Long Chen, in this month's exercise, has already taken off his cold and indifferent appearance, and his body is full of the liveliness and sunshine of a teenager.
Even after a month of exercise and improvement, the body has become well-proportioned, eyebrows like a sword, eyes like stars, short black hair has also become longer, neatly tied up a bun on the top of the head, yellow headband, dancing with the wind, although only fourteen years old, but that handsome and delicate appearance, better than those so-called handsome children, is definitely the object of admiration of young women dancing spoons.
As soon as I opened the door, I suddenly heard a low shout in my ear: "Eat me a punch." ”
Long Chen's face did not show surprise, but a trace of cunning flashed, his right foot took a step back, directly ignoring the attacking punch, his hands opened, and he directly hugged the rushing figure, and then his waist suddenly turned, and the latter's body was fiercely pressed under him.
"Hehe, are you convinced?" Long Chen rode on the young man's body, his little face was full of smiles, like a general who had won a battle, showing off his might and being very proud.
The young man who was pressed under Long Chen was none other than the kind young man who had led him the way.
His name is Xiao Ming, and he is also a miscellaneous disciple in the firewood room, and he is a new disciple recruited by Qingyun Sect this time, but he is honest and honest, and he is often bullied.
Xiao Ming, who was pressed under him, looked unconvinced, and said stubbornly: "We both practice the same every day, it seems that I work harder than you, but I can't beat you, of course I don't accept it!"
When Long Chen heard this, he knocked on Xiao Ming's head, and scolded with a smile: "What do you mean to be harder than me, you kid is as thin as dry wood, even if you practice again, you are not as strong as me!"
However, Long Chen also partially agreed with Xiao Ming's words, he had to play with those yellow light spots for a while every night before going to bed, but he fell asleep unconsciously every time, but when he woke up, his mental and physical strength were restored to his peak state, and he was even better than before.
Even he himself felt that his skin was very thick, if he was hit by Xiao Ming's punch when he first came, it was estimated that he would have to lie on the ground for a while if he was not injured, but now he didn't stop it, it was like being bitten by a mosquito, and there was nothing in the way.
Xiao Ming was still unconvinced, and glanced at Long Chen with disdain: "What about me, you were thinner than me when you first came!"
Long Chen smiled, stood up, and pulled Xiao Ming on the ground up by the way: "Our life is good now, and we will naturally grow into a body, you have to work hard, don't keep letting Zhang Datou's gang bully you!"
This time, Xiao Ming did not refute, and after hearing the words "Zhang Datou", a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes and he nodded.
Zhang Datou is also a member of the room, but he is not a miscellaneous worker, but the steward here, specializing in managing those new disciples, who is greedy and disgusting, narrow-minded, and likes to bully those honest people, and Xiao Ming is also one of them.
"By the way, why did you come so early today, it's only the middle of the day, didn't we start going up the mountain until the end of the day?" Long Chen looked at the sky in the distance just dawn, the sun poked out a small head, all the darkness became fearful at this moment, and some scenes in the mountains were still pitch black.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Xiao Ming slapped his head and shouted: "Oops, I almost forgot, today is the biannual promotion competition for registered children, Zhang Datou's gang has long passed, let's hurry up, or we won't be able to see it!"
Without waiting for Long Chen to answer, he directly grabbed the former's arm and ran forward quickly.
When Long Chen heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he thought of Fang Yue and the others, and his face was happy, originally Xiao Ming pulled him to run, but now it was the other way around, and he grabbed Xiao Ming's arm, and his speed doubled.
Looking at Long Chen, who was running fast, Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, he was very puzzled by this friend in his heart, he was doing things so strangely.
By the time the two of them came to the top of the mountain, they were already tired and sweating, and the excitement in their hearts was even filtered by the cold wind in the mountain stream in the early morning.
In the center of the top of the mountain, there is a jousting platform of tens of zhang in size, and at this time, there are already many people standing around the jousting platform, and the number is still increasing.
The two of them hurriedly took a forward position and sat down, their faces showing uncontrollable excitement.
"Zhang Datou!" At this moment, Xiao Ming, who was beside him, said softly.
When Long Chen heard this, he followed the former's gaze and looked over, only to see a young man with a fat body, a fat head and big ears, and eyes like a mouse, occupying a position not far away, and three young men with attentive faces sitting beside him.
Zhang Datou seemed to have a sense, and he happened to see the two of them, and then his face showed coldness, and seeing the eyes that were narrowed into a slit, Long Chen felt very disgusted.
Time passed little by little, and there were more and more people passing around, all wearing yellow clothes, looking from afar like a yellow ocean in the early morning mountain stream, which was particularly eye-catching.
"You two get up and go to the back!" At this moment, an indifferent voice fell into the ears of the two of them.
Looking up, I saw a dark-faced, thick-eyed and high-nosed young man looking at the two of them coldly, with a little disdain in his ice-like eyes.
This person is not a stranger to the two, his name is Gao Yuan, he is a recognized cultivator at the Registered Disciples, twelve hours a day, almost eight or nine hours are in cultivation, I heard that this person has reached the peak of the fourth level of physical training, and is the first person to have the opportunity to enter the outer courtyard in the Registered Disciples In addition to those who participate in the competition.
Long Chen had already learned from Fang Yue's mouth that the differentiation of the quenching body was divided into five levels in cultivation, namely skin training, meat training, tendon training, bone refining, and marrow training.
Looking at his indifferent eyes, both of them trembled, and Xiao Ming on the side just wanted to get up, but was stopped by Long Chen.
Turning around, his little face showed a determined look, and he said without any fear: "Senior Brother Gao, this is our place, why do you want to get up?"
"Little junior brother, pay attention to proportionality when speaking, some people can't be offended, otherwise hum!" Gao Yuan's eyes became colder and colder, and the threat in his tone was obvious.
Xiao Ming's face was panicked, and he pulled Long Chen, signaling Long Yang not to be impulsive.
The quarrel between the two attracted a lot of people's attention, but most of the expressions on their faces were watching the play, and the two miscellaneous disciples still wanted to fight with the disciples who were about to enter the outer courtyard, and it was not just a lantern in the toilet - looking for death?
Although the Qingyun Sect is not allowed, private struggle, but some grievances and hatred, the sect will not care, one is to stimulate the disciples' self-motivation, to get a faster promotion speed, the other is that it is impossible to discipline, there are so many people in the sect, if it is strictly managed, it will definitely cost a lot of manpower, financial resources, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so the sect will not intervene in private affairs.
For the ridicule around him and Xiao Ming's advice, Long Chen ignored it at all, and thought: What are you a named disciple, my master is an elder of the inner gate, and he belongs to the top of a generation of disciples, call my master, you don't even count Mao.
"You are not an elder, what does it matter to you whether we go or stay? I am polite to you because you are a senior brother, if you continue to oppress people like this, don't blame me for suing Elder Lei!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, even Zhang Datou, who had been laughing at them, was stunned and silent for a long time before he said: "That kid doesn't want to stay here anymore, he offended an enemy who is about to enter the outer courtyard, and his future life will be richer!"
"Newborn is not afraid of calves, okay! Very good! We'll have a date later! But I wonder if you will be as arrogant as this the next time we meet!" Gao Yuan's black pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole at this time, staring at Long Chen tightly like a poisonous snake, and said two words in a row, which showed his hatred for Long Yang.
Long Chen naturally understood what he meant, raised his head, and met the dark gaze: "Don't worry about Senior Brother!"
Gao Yuan looked at Long Chen again, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards another place.
By the time it arrived, two or three hundred people had gathered around the competition platform, and the water around the competition platform was blocked, and at this time, dozens of registered disciples who participated in the competition also came, and it was Fang Yue, Leng Ya, and Xu Tao who were at the head.
Seeing the three of them, Long Chen stood up abruptly and waved his arms vigorously, hoping that the three of them could see themselves.
But in the vast sea of people, how small a person is in it, no matter how loud the voice is, it is just scattered with the wind, where can I hear it.
Generally speaking, as long as the quenching body reaches the fifth level and has the conditions for condensation, you can be directly promoted to the outer court, but this will only make the disciples indulge in cultivation, and forget the enterprising heart, as long as there is pressure, there will be motivation, in this regard, the sect also issued some rewards for the competition.
The first place in the competition will be rewarded with a high-level magic weapon, three Qi Condensing Pills, the second place will be an intermediate magic weapon, two Qi Condensing Pills, and the third place, one intermediate magic weapon, one Qi Condensing Pill, and the rest of the disciples who have successfully advanced will also receive a Qi Condensing Pill to help them cultivate.
"Xiaolong, do you know Senior Brother Fang?" Looking at Long Chen's strength, Xiao Ming's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt and asked.
Long Chen nodded, and raised a touch of arc from the corner of his mouth: "That's natural, when I came, it was Senior Brother Fang who helped." ”
Long Chen stayed at the registered disciple for a month, and heard a lot of rumors, Fang Yue joined the sect five years ago, although his qualifications were ordinary, but his perseverance was extremely strong, in the world of more than five years, he finally cultivated his body to the peak, and the foundation was very stable, and his reputation among the registered disciples was also very good, many people regarded him as the object of study, and he was also the easiest to enter the outer courtyard among everyone.
The other two were much more low-key, and there was very little news about them, and most of them were related to Fang Yue.
Hearing Long Chen's answer, Xiao Ming's immature little face flushed, and his eyes showed excitement: "I didn't expect you to know Senior Brother Fang, if we can get his guidance, maybe our cultivation will be much faster." ”
Long Chen smiled slightly: "What's so difficult about this, but we newcomers have to work in the sundries for a year before we are qualified to cultivate, even if we are coming, I don't know if we can cultivate?"
Xiao Ming's face was overjoyed, and then he showed a hint of worry: "Xiaolong, can this work, I heard them say that everyone's cultivation methods are different, and they are never easy to spread out, and the higher the strength, the more so." ”
"You don't believe it?" Long Chen rolled his eyes wide, and then smiled: "Why don't we make a bet?"
"Bet on what?"
Long Chen's glowing eyes flashed with some cunning: "If Senior Brother Fang agrees, then you will call me Big Brother in the future!"
Xiao Ming cut off and said disappreciably: "You are only fourteen years old this year, and I am almost fifteen years old, what is the reason for me to call you eldest brother?"
"Hehe, who said that you can only be a big brother when you are old, in a word, do you dare to bet?"
Xiao Ming's face turned red and said loudly: "Whoever said I wouldn't dare, bet on it!"
Hearing Xiao Ming's answer, a smile appeared on Long Chen's face, in fact, he was not sure about this matter, but this bet is only profitable and not losing, even if he loses, he has nothing to lose, but Xiao Ming doesn't seem to understand.
During the period of time when the two were arguing, the quota on the stage had been determined, and there were three old men sitting on the high platform, Elder Lei, that is, Lei Ao, sitting on the far left of the high platform, dressed in green clothes, slightly emaciated, with long gray-white hair, moving with the wind, giving people a sense of loneliness and gloom, but the red light on his face and the brilliance shown in his eyes made the whole person full of spirit and radiance.
The second elder beside him, also dressed in green clothes, his face was full of majesty, like a mountain, deep and steady, and his eyes were fierce, so that people did not dare to look at him.
"Today's Shiben Sect Named Disciple, the time to be promoted to the Outer Court, but before you are promoted, you still have to accept a test, that is, to use your strongest strength to prove your promotion qualifications!"
"In the first game, No. 1 Wu Fei, vs. No. 23 Chen Haocheng!"
At this time, two teenagers walked out of the martial arts arena, both of them were about seventeen years old, there was no gorgeous martial arts, and there was no skill in fighting, the battle between the two was all cathartic in a wild way, this was nothing more than a war of attrition, the test was endurance and strength, and the last one to check the most would be the final winner.
For the first time, Long Chen saw the five-fold person fighting, and every time the two attacked each other's body, they would make a dull sound, as if they had hit a stone, and this sound made Long Yang's heart tremble, and even under the panic, there was this faint envy and expectation.
"Wu Fei, I can't hold on anymore!"
I don't know who shouted, but I saw that on the competition platform, Wu Fei was defeated and retreated under Chen Haocheng's repeated attacks, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
"It's no wonder that Chen Haocheng arrived at the fifth level of quenching earlier than Wu Fei, half a year earlier, and it is reasonable to lose!"
Long Chen stared tightly, not daring to let go of any of them.
Chen Haocheng saw that his opponent had been defeated and retreated, so he immediately gave up the idea of taking it step by step, and his fists suddenly accelerated a lot.
It was at this time that Wu Fei showed a smile in his eyes, gave up the resistance on his chest, and wrapped his arms around him, tightly hooking Chen Haocheng's neck under the surprised gaze of everyone, and then shouted loudly, and his whole body directly threw the latter out of the air with the force of the waist rotation.
"Good!"
After a full half-ring, the audience let out a wonderful shout.
"The first game Wu Feisheng and the second game"
