Before the "Outer Sect Competition", he was promoted to the middle stage of Tongmai and his strength reached another level. There should be no problem.
…
The next day.
Zhou Xing got up and went to the Zongwu Hall.
This time, he was not here to do a sect mission, but to collect and exchange some spiritual medicinal materials.
In the Zongwu Hall, in addition to publishing and accepting tasks, there are also exchanges for some common spiritual materials and elixirs. The most common ones are some healing potions and elixirs to assist in cultivation.
In a side hall.
"A total of one hundred and two second-grade Yuan stones, two hundred and ten contribution points. In addition, the 'Marrow of the Barbarian Ox' and 'Yuanzhu Grass' that you need are relatively popular and are currently out of stock."
A red-robed deacon spoke calmly.
so much?
Zhou Xing was startled and a little surprised.
The spiritual materials he collected were another body-tempering prescription in the "Bronze Statue Skill" that was slightly higher than the "commoner's prescription".
This second body-tempering prescription is relatively low-end in the "Bronze Statue Skill"; however, the ingredients used in this prescription are no longer ordinary precious materials in the world.
Although Zhou Xing was well prepared, the final price still exceeded expectations.
The key is.
The main ingredient of this prescription, "Marrow of the Barbarian Ox," has not yet been redeemed. Only the other seven or eight auxiliary spiritual materials require so many multi-stones and contribution points.
"Is it too expensive? Hey..."
The red-robed deacon laughed strangely: "The materials of my Zongwu Hall are naturally more than 20% more expensive than those purchased privately from outside. Otherwise, if you bother to look for them one by one yourself, the price will be cheaper."
Zhou Xing didn't waste any more nonsense, paid the yuan stones and contributions, and exchanged these auxiliary materials.
There was only one and a half months left for the "Outer Sect Competition". How could he have so much time to look for those auxiliary treasures one by one.
Thus.
Zhou Xing has very few contribution points left. He only has less than a hundred second-grade Yuan stones left.
For the remaining two spiritual materials, "Marrow of the Barbarian Ox" and "Yuanzhu Grass", Zhou Xing could only think of a solution on his own.
Walk out of the Zongwu Hall.
Zhou Xing met an acquaintance, a man with triangular eyes.
It is Ding Jiuhui.
"Junior Brother Zhou? You came to Zongwu Hall to collect materials?"
Ding Jiuhui greeted Zhou Xing with a smile on his face.
Since the last mission to kill the "Bear King", Ding Jiuhui has looked at Zhou Xing with admiration.
Without Zhou Xing's action that day, he would not have been able to successfully advance to the middle stage of Tongmai.
Now, Zhou Xing was promoted to the Tongmai stage and became an official outer disciple. Ding Jiuhui naturally looked at such a powerful sect with a different eye.
"Yes. There are still two precious materials left."
Zhou Xing raised the bag in his hand and explained his specific situation.
"oh?"
Ding Jiuhui said curiously: "The price of collecting materials in the Zongwu Hall is not cheap. But if you are just short of two rare materials that are slightly out of the ordinary, you can try your luck at the 'Outer Sect Exchange Meeting' the day after tomorrow."
External communication meeting?
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered some rumors about this exchange meeting.
"Now that Junior Brother Zhou has been promoted to Tongmai, he has become an official disciple. It's time to get in touch with this 'circle'. Why not, let me take you in."
Ding Jiuhui looked enlightened.
turn out to be.
This "outer sect exchange meeting" is generally only for senior disciples of the outer sect, who must at least be promoted to the Tongmai stage.
In the past, Zhou Xing had only cultivated in the body-forging stage and was a marginal figure in the outer sect. Naturally, he had never entered that small circle.
"Then there's Senior Brother Lauding."
Zhou Xing quickly thanked him.
As far as he knows.
This outer sect exchange meeting is a small activity for senior outer sect disciples to exchange martial arts experience with each other and promote each other.
and.
At the exchange meeting, senior disciples can trade their resources.
Zhou Xing has longed for this exchange meeting for a long time.
It is said that some real geniuses and elites from the outer sects will occasionally show up at exchange meetings.
"I hope the exchange meeting the day after tomorrow will be fruitful."
Zhou Xing returned to his residence and began to practice meditation cross-legged.
The collection of prescriptions is an important part of his spiritual practice; the key to whether he can attack the inner sect lies in the "Bronze Statue Technique"!
Two days later.
Zhou Xing, led by Ding Jiuhui, arrived at a small courtyard at the north corner of the outer gate.
At the entrance of the courtyard, two outer disciples were squatting, joking and joking, which seemed a bit like guarding the door.
"Senior Brother Ding, you are here..."
The two outer disciples quickly stood up and greeted Ding Jiuhui.
"Who is this?"
One of the outer disciples looked at Zhou Xing.
In the circle of senior disciples, Zhou Xing was still a new face, attending an exchange meeting for the first time.
"Hey! Are you that Zhou Xing who eats soft food?"
Another outer disciple actually recognized Zhou Xing and blurted out.
"I'll go! Is he Zhou Xing? The pretty boy who got Mu Xueqing? From what I see, he's not much more handsome than me."
The outer disciple from before had a huge reaction and stared straight at Zhou Xing.
The two men seemed to be looking at some rare animal, and they looked at Zhou Xing several times.
Eating soft food? Pretty boy?
Zhou Xing's face twitched slightly.
After walking hand in hand with Mu Xueqing that time, he has never taken off the hat of being a free-for-all, even though he has been promoted to Tongmai and became an official disciple.
"Hmph! You two, stop talking nonsense! Junior Brother Zhou's strength is not inferior to mine. This time, I'm here to take him to the exchange meeting."
Ding Jiuhui glared at the two of them.
"Hey! Senior Brother Ding, you go in first."
The two of them smiled playfully and raised their hands to let Ding Jiuhui and Zhou Xing enter the yard.
As for Ding Jiuhui's evaluation of Zhou Xing's strength, the two of them naturally didn't believe it. They thought it was Zhou Xing's relationship with Ding Jiuhui and wanted to enter this circle.
Enter the courtyard.
The first thing Zhou Xing saw was a spacious martial arts arena.
Ouch! Ouch!
On the martial arts field, two Tongmai stage disciples were sparring intensively in boxing.
Judging from the cultivation level of the two, although they are in the middle stage of Tongmai, their real strength is comparable to those in the late stage of Tongmai outside.
After all, the sect has considerable advantages in terms of martial arts foundation and grade.
Around the martial arts arena, some outer disciples stood here and there, watching the battle and occasionally talking in low voices.
"Tsk, tsk, with the level of these two people, even if they want to reach the top twenty in the competition, it's probably impossible!"
A plump, round-faced young man, chewing an apple in his hand, stood on the steps, overlooking the two men fighting in the martial arts arena, and said with disdain.
The chubby boy's voice was rather harsh and could be heard by everyone present.
When several people nearby heard this, they all looked at the chubby boy with some fear.
However, the chubby young man had a good status in the outer sect, and there were people around him who boasted about walking horses.
"Brother Huang is right!"
"With such strength, how dare you show yourself to shame?"
On the martial arts field, the two people who were sparring suddenly showed angry expressions.
This discussion also stopped.
"Huang Yuan! Don't think that you can underestimate us because you came seventh in the last competition."
The two young men on the martial arts field could not bear their anger.
turn out to be.
This chubby young man, whose name is Huang Yuan, is an elite among the outer disciples. He ranked among the top ten in last year's competition.
Seventh in Dabi?
Zhou Xing showed a look of surprise and became interested in this yellow circle.
"Brother Zhou, beware of this Huang Yuan. He is moody and likes to pick on weak people."
Ding Jiuhui lowered his voice and said.
Zhou Xing nodded. He clearly noticed that the nearby disciples, including Ding Jiuhui, were quite afraid of the fat young man "Huang Yuan".
At this moment, the conflicts on the martial arts field intensified again.
"Just you two?"
The chubby boy sneered: "Within three moves, I can knock you down with one against two. Believe it or not?"
One against two?
Knocked down within three moves?
The nearby outer disciples looked surprised.
"Do not believe!"
The two young men on the martial arts field were filled with anger.
Defeating one of them within three moves is already a kind of crushing and humiliation, let alone one hitting two?
"Where does this Huang Yuan have such great confidence?"
Ding Jiuhui was a little surprised.
In terms of cultivation, the two young men on the field were in the same middle stage of Tongmai as Ding Jiuhui, and their strength was similar.
Huang Yuan's cultivation level is only a small level higher than the late stage of Tongmai.
The key is, one can fight two and still defeat them within three moves. Is this possible?
rub!
Just when everyone was getting suspicious, Huang Yuan had already ducked into the martial arts arena.
"careful!"
The two young men in the middle stage of Tongmai looked wary. If Huang Yuan really succeeded, they would lose face.
With a smile on his face, Huang Yuan took a leisurely stroll in the martial arts arena.
superior!
The two looked at each other, attacked from left and right, and rushed towards Huangyuan at the same time.
"Flying Eagle Legs!"
One of the young men actually rose into the air and flew with astonishing energy.
"Iron Cloud Claw!"
Another young man used the same "Iron Cloud Claw" as Wang Lingyun, and struck him with one claw. The biting cold wind hit Huang Yuan's face.
"Hahaha……"
Huang Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Whoosh!" His fat figure was in the same place as a model lake, easily dodging the attack of the young man "Iron Cloud Claw" behind him.
The expressions of everyone watching the battle changed.
Huang Yuan's seemingly fat body is actually so fast, especially the sudden burst of speed from stillness to movement!
Zhou Xing discovered that Huang Yuan only dodged the attack of the Iron Cloud Claw, but not the other one.
It's not that he can't avoid both.
"Get down here!"
A fierce light burst out in Huang Yuan's eyes, and a palm like a cattail fan, with a strong wind, suddenly slapped the leg of the young man who performed "Flying Eagle Retreat".
ah!
The boy who was kicking in the air let out a muffled scream, and felt a sharp pain in his leg, almost breaking it.
A "plop" sound.
The boy who performed the leg trick fell to the ground on the spot, holding his leg and screaming in pain.
The other boy, with a horrified look on his face, did not dare to fight Huang Yuan head-on and tried to fight with him.
However.
Huang Yuan's movement was astonishingly fast, and he was approaching quickly.
"Ouch!"
The moment the fists and claws collided, the boy who used the "Iron Cloud Claw" felt his arms go numb, and the strong inner aura made him stand unsteadily.
Get down again!
Before he could react, Huang Yuan struck him a few feet away with a thunderous palm and smashed him to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time.
hiss!
Some of the disciples watching the battle couldn't help but gasp.
Putting it all together, in less than ten breaths and three moves in total, Huang Yuan knocked down the two middle-level Tongmai masters.
"This Huang Yuan has practiced a family-inherited horizontal training method. Not only is his martial arts profound, his physical defense is also far superior to that of ordinary disciples of the same level."
Ding Jiuhui said in a low voice.
I see.
Zhou Xing has discovered that Huang Yuan, like himself, has a strength and physique that far exceeds that of ordinary Tongmai disciples.
According to his assessment, Huang Yuan's strength has at least reached the level of Dasha Chu Lifeng. Although the intensity of his skills is slightly inferior to Dasha's, his strength and physique are definitely better than Dasha's.
"Is this the strength of the top ten outer sects?"
Zhou Xing felt a little pressure.
At Dasha's level, with Zhou Xing's current strength, there is no 100% chance of winning.
It is unimaginable to imagine the strength of the top three in the outer sect, or even the first.
According to past experience, except for those who are first in the outer sect, they can surely enter the inner sect; for the rest, only the top three have greater hope.
That is to say.
If Zhou Xing wants to enter the inner gate, he must hit the top three, or even be the first!
"Just like you cats and dogs, if you go to participate in the outer sect competition, you will only be embarrassed."
Huang Yuan clapped his hands and walked out of the martial arts arena disdainfully.
In the courtyard.
Many disciples were full of jealousy and fear towards the figure of the chubby young man, and they all stayed away.
"Haha, Fatty Huang, with all your abilities, you can only bully the weak."
A cynical laugh broke the silence on the field.
Zhou Xing was shocked, who dared to call Huang Yuan in a mocking tone of "Fat Huang".
Everyone took a closer look.
From the attic in the middle of the courtyard, a handsome young man walked out with a folding fan in his hand.
This young man is very fair and handsome in appearance. If it weren't for his carefree appearance, he would be a bit bookish.
"It's him! The number one genius in the outer sect!"
"Nangong Li! The outer sect ranks second in strength..."
The faces of the disciples in the courtyard changed again.
If Fatty Huang brought fear and fear to everyone, then what this boy with the folding fan brought to everyone was invisible respect and admiration.
Nangong Li?
He is that Nangong Li!
Zhou Xing looked at this young man intently and heard about the deeds of "Nangong Li".
The title of the number one genius in the outer sect can be described as thunderous.
"Nangong Li, his cultivation has reached the peak of Tongmai. It is said that with his talent, he is qualified to become an inner disciple, and it is not difficult for him to even advance to the 'Zang Refining Stage'."
Ding Jiuhui introduced Zhengran.
What?
This time, Zhou Xing was really surprised.
This Nangong Li can already become an inner sect disciple, and can even be easily promoted to the internal refining stage, so why is he still staying in the outer sect?
Could it be that he was full enough to hold on?
You know, many disciples like Zhou Xing are still working hard to become inner disciples.
"Once promoted to the internal refining stage, he will be automatically promoted to the inner disciple, and someone in the upper echelon of the sect is willing to accept him as a disciple. But I heard that Nangong Li wants to be the 'number one in the outer sect' for once. There is some kind of honor and benefit in being one.
, and another one, it is said that the rewards for the sects who are ranked first in the competition and top three in the competition this year are quite generous."
Ding Jiuhui explained the reason.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but wonder what kind of generous reward would be given to the first place in this year's competition, so much so that Nangong Li didn't hesitate to stay at the outer gate.
in previous years.
The top ten in the competition will all receive certain rewards to encourage competition among disciples.
"Who am I to tell you! Nangong Li, you have eaten enough to support yourself, but you are still refusing to leave the outer sect, insisting on taking the places from us hard-working disciples."
Huang Yuanfei said with a smile on his face.
In front of other people, he can be domineering. But when he meets "Nangong Li", he will greet him with a smile.
"It's boring! It seems that only Duan Xiaolong in this outer sect can fight with me."
Nangong Li couldn't help but shake his head.
He looked down upon opponents of Huang Yuan's level, regardless of their strength or weak character.
at this time.
Outside the courtyard, several more outer disciples walked in one after another.
"Senior Brother Yang! Senior Brother Wang..." This chapter has been completed!
