Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 31 Showing Weakness

Xu Yan didn't know that he had almost lost the opportunity to continue as a sword cultivator invisibly, but he knew very well what this round of 'thirty into twenty' meant.

When he came to the Martial Arts Training Plaza, there were exactly two more competitions left in this round, originally according to his character, he didn't have much interest in the competitions of these fellow disciples of the Lotus Sect, but when he found out that it was Xu Hui who was from the same village as him who played before him, he couldn't help but look at it twice.

Xu Yan came to the preparation of the Winter Character Sect, and only then did he find that in the entire Winter Character Sect, except for a beautiful woman who was panting for breath beside her, but her face was pale due to the exhaustion of her strength, the other disciples had all been eliminated, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the same disciples of the four factions, the difference in strength between them can be so great.

Seeing Xu Yan shook her head as soon as she sat down, the beautiful woman who had won a narrow victory after a lot of battles before comprehended, and said with a wry smile: "Didn't I expect that my Dongzi Sect would be weak to such an extent, in fact, even we ourselves didn't know it before, Elder Wang also comforted us before and said that even if there is a gap in strength between the disciples of the four factions, it will never be too much, but now it seems that the truth is not as he thinks in his heart." ”

Hearing that the other party took the initiative to speak, Xu Yan knew that the latter was talking to her, but although he was temporarily classified as a disciple of the Dongzi Sect, he didn't know anything about Wang Chu and the Dongzi Sect, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he just nodded with a wry smile.

The beautiful woman exhaled softly, like spitting out Xianglan, and then said: "Little junior brother, you are the only hope left for our Dongzi faction, although this can no longer affect the overall ranking between the major factions this time, but Senior Sister really hopes that you can go to the end." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at her very seriously, I have to say that this woman is indeed a rare beauty, bright and picturesque, with red lips and bright teeth, but he is a little unclear about the sudden expectation of the other party, but seeing that she always has a faint smile on her face, and a very friendly look, Xu Yan didn't think much about it, just smiled and replied humbly: "Senior sister looks up to me too much, how can I have this ability, but I should do my best." ”

The woman, whose original name was Qiu Yuanjin, saw that he was unmoved by his kind words and good words, and a faint sense of loss flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she thought in her heart that this little junior brother was really a little arrogant.

In fact, this is Qiu Yuanjin misunderstanding Xu Yan, if he was in the past, he might be able to describe him as arrogant, but now Xu Yan is not a difficult person to get along with, for example, when he faced the cardinal, because the two had already known each other, they would not only fight with her to a certain extent, but also pat the cardinal's ass from time to time, not at all like now, it would look a little 'high'.

And while Qiu Yuanjin was still secretly thinking in his heart, Xu Yan, who was sitting in front of her, suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, it seems that the sister of the Xu family is also going to lose." ”

Qiu Yuanjin heard Xu Yan's words, so she turned her head and focused her attention on the square, but the last scene she saw was that Xu Huizheng was directly picked off by her opponent The long sword in her hand was flying, and then the opponent pressed the tip of the sword against her chest.

Without the slightest surprise, the linesman elder directly announced Xu Hui's defeat, but this defeat does not mean that she stopped there, because in the third round of the competition, there are only fifteen winners after all, and the defeated fifteen people will be redrawn, and will be divided into five groups, and tomorrow will be a group of three to break through the competition, and finally the five people who can hold out from the melee to the end are the final places to participate in the Baishan Spring Hunt, but although the five people after the successful breakthrough can participate in the subsequent spring hunting, they will not be eligible for the follow-up promotion round, therefore, only the fifteen people who won the first small round of the third round are eligible to move forward, to chase the final top three in this selection competition, and get the rich rewards drawn up by the sect.

Xu Yan saw Xu Hui walking down the square with a gloomy face, and sighed in his heart, in this world where strength is true, everyone will have their own destiny, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

After Xu Hui got off the field, she saw Xu Yan looking at her, and found that the latter was looking at her with a soft gaze that seemed to give her comfort, and there was only a little regret in her heart, but she felt a trace of grievance inexplicably.

When Xu Hui walked in front of Xu Yan, she was already crying, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Yan just reached out and patted her shoulder gently, and encouraged her with a smile: "Sister Xu has done a great job, and the competition is not really over yet, remember to work as hard tomorrow, so please don't cry, leave all your tears for joy in the future!"

Before Xu Hui could recover from his sluggishness, Xu Yan had already strode towards the martial arts training square.

......

"Round 3, Match 15" is also the last game of the day.

The time is close to four quarters of the unitary hour.

In the sky, twilight is approaching, and deep blue looms.

As the saying goes, a few families are happy and a few families are sad, for those who have successfully advanced in this round, it is naturally worth joy, but if you want to say who is the most bitter in your heart now, it is undoubtedly the disciple of the Qiuzi faction who also drew the last game, Li Ku.

Li Ku is different from Xu Yan, since the beginning of the selection competition, he has watched almost every game on the sidelines, never falling behind, including both for himself to be able to make a detailed understanding of each round of opponents, and for his own meticulous and cautious character reasons, however, when he sat on the sidelines and watched the disciples of the third round come on the court in groups, and kept making personnel cuts in his mind, he finally got this result that he didn't want to see in an extremely bitter way.

Li Ku looked at Xu Yan, who was standing not far in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I originally thought that when I drew the last game, I thought that I had drawn the upper lottery, but I didn't expect that the little junior brother also drew the last game, it seems that this is destined for me to stop in the third round." ”

Xu Yan was a little inexplicable about Li Ku's initiative to show weakness, so he raised his eyebrows and replied: "Is this senior brother a little too arrogant?"

When Li Ku heard this, he still said with a bitter face: "Little junior brother, it's not that senior brother is arrogant, but that the two swords you used to be too ......" It seemed that he couldn't find any suitable words to describe it for a while, Li Ku paused for a moment, and then said helplessly: "In short, junior brother, you can be regarded as famous now, and it is estimated that only you don't know, among all the disciples who have successfully advanced, if we say that we are the most unwilling to meet anyone, it is none other than junior brother." ”

Xu Yan was really a little crying and laughing at Li Ku's explanation, but even so, he would not take the person in front of him lightly, because he found that even if the other party was smiling bitterly and constantly showing weakness at the moment, in the eyes of the other party, there was always a trace of extremely hot color, although this emotion was well hidden by him, but the emotion full of the will to fight, no matter what, could not escape Xu Yan's capture.

Xu Yan was silent for a moment before he said calmly: "No matter what senior brother thinks, I should still come, it's not early, I still have to rush back for dinner after the competition." ”
