Since entering the second round of the competition, the excitement has improved, and there are several more attractive key battles, which have attracted Lin Xiaohong's attention, making him reluctant to leave in a hurry. He wanted to see some of his key opponents' performances in order to understand some of their strengths and weaknesses to inform his upcoming matches.

Although Li Zhaoyuan doesn't care about the intelligence of those opponents, Lin Xiaohong is not much different from their strength, and it is also very beneficial to know more about their opponents.

So Li Zhaoyuan stayed and watched together, and did not leave in a hurry.

When all 35 competitions were over, Li Zhaoyuan and Lin Xiaohong did not leave immediately, and by the way, they took a look at the draw for the next round of competitions.

The first to draw lots is to draw lots for the following groups in the spirit refining period.

I saw that the registration circle standing at the registration office showed the names of dozens of winning outer disciples of the Spirit Refining Period. Then the law enforcement disciple who was guarding the side took out a token and injected it into the magic circle. The circle was activated immediately.

Everyone saw dozens of names in the circle and began to scurry around the circle. It's like a ball with its name on it, tumbling up and down.

In order not to be artificially biased, this magic circle was specially engraved and customized by the senior elders of the sect, so that all the disciples could compete in a fair environment. No one can control the names in the circle, so they can only be activated with tokens, let those characters work automatically, and then automatically randomly arrange the combinations of battles.

After a flurry of names in the circle, the names seemed to come to life, and they began to look for each other's partners. None of the names were successfully matched, and they immediately jumped out of the circle. This can be regarded as choosing a combination of martial arts.

With the appearance of the first pair of names, there are immediately a succession of pairs of different names leaping out. When the names of the last remaining group appear, the following groups will be paired in groups. Then, all the outer disciples who cultivated for the following groups of outer disciples, and the outer disciple tokens were given the final battle list.

Next, the deacon disciple next to the registration circle of the above group of people who cultivated in the acupuncture period also took out a token, just as he was about to activate the magic circle.

Suddenly, there was a voice in the sky: "Slow!"

Although the voice was not loud or loud enough, the word "slow" really reached the ears of every disciple present.

The monk who uttered the word "slow" suddenly appeared next to the deacon disciple holding the token before the "slow" sound had not yet dissipated.

This monk's cultivation is extremely high, and he uses the method of instantaneous movement of shrinking the ground into inches. Therefore, it feels like he is flying faster than sound.

This monk who suddenly appeared, wearing a white robe, a purple and gold crown, crane hair and a childish face, a high nose and long beard, quite a fairy wind and bones, exuding a faint Jindan realm coercion. It was extremely majestic, so that many outer disciples did not dare to look up casually.

As soon as the deacon disciple holding the token saw this Jindan monk appear, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed his head and saluted: "Deacon disciple Tan Lin, meet Uncle Kong Lie Elder Teacher!"

On the other side, the deacon disciple who signed up for the magic circle during the Guardian Spirit Refining Period also clasped his fists and saluted almost at the same time: "Disciple Wei Daming, meet Uncle Elder Konglie!"

It turned out that this old man with a childish face was the deacon elder who presided over this outer disciple martial arts competition.

Although Elder Kong Lie was nominally the deacon elder who presided over this tournament, he did not show up from the beginning, but only watched in secret. From the registration of the competition to the drawing of lots, it was the beginning of the competition, which was supported by those deacon disciples and law enforcement disciples themselves.

Therefore, he is more like an off-site supervisor of the competition, monitoring the competition to ensure that the competition can be conducted in a fair, just and open environment.

Just when the cultivation of the acupuncture stage was about to carry out the next round of lottery, Kong Lie suddenly appeared and stopped the lottery, not knowing what happened.

The two deacon disciples were uneasy in their hearts, and they thought that something had happened to them that made Uncle Kong Lie dissatisfied.

So the deacon disciple of Tan Lin asked cautiously: "Uncle Shi has appeared this time, I don't know what the disciple has done inappropriately?" ”

"No, no!" Kong Lie immediately shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong with you. You're doing a great job, it's good. The old man saw it all. ”

The deacon disciples Tan Lin and Wei Daming were even more puzzled when they heard that Uncle Konglie was not here to trouble them.

"You don't have to think about it. The old man's appearance this time is that I have just received the Flying Sword Transmission from the senior brother of the master, and the thirty-six outer disciples who have won the above group in the cultivation period of the acupoint period today do not need to be drawn in two-by-two knockout rounds. Elder Konglie said.

"So at this time!" the stone in the hearts of the two deacon disciples finally fell with confidence. As long as it's not on my side, there are no problems.

"Isn't there going to be a two-by-two knockout match, is it going to be a big melee of thirty-six people directly?" More doubts appeared in the hearts of the two deacon disciples.

Elder Kong Lie continued, "There are a total of thirty-six outer disciples above the acupuncture stage who have won the battle this time. This number is exactly in line with the number of thirty-six martial arts rings in the Martial Arts Palace. According to the usual practice, as long as there is a martial arts competition that meets the number of thirty-six, there will be a battle for the Tiangang Fantasy Realm of the Martial Arts Palace. ”

"Martial Dou Palace's Tiangang Fantasy Realm Battle?" Tan Lin and Wei Daming have been deacon's disciples in the Martial Dou Palace for a while. But they had never heard of any martial arts palace Tiangang fantasy realm battle. Therefore, they are confused for a while, and they have more questions.

It was also the first time that the many outer disciples present had heard that there was another mode of martial arts. The Martial Arts Palace Tiangang Illusion Battle sounds like it's very exciting.

Not to mention that the outer disciples and deacon disciples and law enforcement disciples present had not seen or even heard of it. Even Elder Konglie, who had lived for hundreds of years, had not encountered it a few times. Because there must be exactly thirty-six winners of the competition. If it weren't deliberately arranged, it would be very difficult to meet the conditions of thirty-six. This is because the number of outer disciples who participate in the competition for the above groups of martial arts during the Tongxue period changes every year, and it is not fixed because of the prescribed number.

Because of this, it is not common for thirty-six outer disciples to qualify at the end.

The disciples of the Xianqiao Sect who were present, except for the Elder Konglie who was already a master of the Golden Pill, because they had lived for a long time, they had only encountered a few situations where there were exactly thirty-six people. Others don't have that kind of experience. Therefore, they didn't know that there was such a secret in the Martial Arts Palace.

Elder Kong Lie knew that the people present were very young, so he didn't know about the battle for the Tiangang Illusion Realm of the Martial Fighting Palace. So he touched his long white beard and began to explain: "At the beginning, the ancestors of this sect built this martial arts palace in order to allow the disciples of the sect to gain a lot of on-the-spot combat experience through continuous competition. In order to remind all the disciples of the Immortal Qiao Sect, cultivating the Immortal Dao is not just relying on closed doors and hard practice to achieve the results of the Immortal Dao. It is also necessary to go through a lot of actual combat methods and experiences, and only by constantly fighting in actual combat and experience can we cultivate the true immortal path. ”

"When the ancestors of this gate built this martial arts palace, they were according to the number of thirty-six Tiangang, refining and inlaying these thirty-six martial arts rings, which means that the Tiangang of this gate is blessed and has a long history. After the ancestors built the city martial arts palace, they left that as long as there were thirty-six Tiangang numbers, they would open the Tiangang Illusion Realm, and let the thirty-six winning disciples enter it to compete, and whoever finally won from the Tiangang Illusion Realm must be the pillars of the sect. And what is the specifics of Tiangang Fantasy Realm, when the day is opened, you will naturally understand. The old man won't say much here. Disperse yells. As for the date of the competition, we will announce it separately. ”

Split Sky talked about this and began to sell Guanzi, and without saying much, he drove all the outer disciples to his own cave mansion.

Therefore, the outer disciples who won the upper group of the acupuncture stage left a lot of room for imagination in their hearts. But when they thought that they could enter the Tiangang Fantasy Realm that happened once in decades, or even once in hundreds of years, they were both nervous and excited.

I am worried that there are too many variables in what happens next, and I am excited that as long as I win, I will definitely become the pillar of my family. In that way, he will be supported by a large number of resources from the sect, and his path of cultivating immortals in the future will definitely be smooth and bright.
