The four of them glanced at Li Muchan and smiled together.
Li Muchan remained motionless, his eyes slightly closed, and his appearance was solemn, just like a Buddha statue in a temple, with an extraordinary bearing.
He is clearly aware of the movement in the outside world, but he passes it by as soon as he hears it, like water passing through bluestone. He does not stop in his mind and only focuses on the flow of internal energy in his meridians.
He practiced the Six Classics, and although his internal strength was extremely fast, far better than ordinary people, he still had to work hard if he wanted to keep up with his senior brother, and time was precious.
Even though he was out of seclusion, his spirit was still in seclusion. He ignored foreign affairs and only focused on cultivation. Even in this bustling place, he remained calm and focused on his cultivation.
Jin Kaitai stood on the stage, slightly bowed, like a black bear looking down at everyone with a stern expression.
His eyes flashed, faintly sparkling with crystal light: "Okay, this time the competition will start from Yaoguang Academy,...Gong Qingyun, come up!"
A white cloud slowly rose from the crowd and floated slowly up to the high platform. Gong Qingyun appeared on the stage dressed in white, with a charming and charming look and an expression as cold as ice.
"Okay——!" The crowd cheered loudly, mixed with the sounds of warblers, and the girls of Yaoguang Academy cheered proudly.
Everyone in Tianshu Academy remained motionless, with strange smiles on their faces.
Yu Chiming chuckled and said, "This little girl's Qinggong is even more powerful. It seems that she was stimulated quite a bit by the Fifth Junior Brother!"
"Not bad!" Cheng Xiaofeng nodded, suppressed his smile, and looked solemn.
Jin Kaitai stretched out his hand: "Bring it here!"
Gong Qingyun handed over the log sign with both hands. Jin Kaitai glanced at it and said loudly: "Tianxuan Courtyard, Ding Huanming!"
People immediately looked around.
A young man in black walked out from Tianxuanyuan area with a grimace, raised his head and clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
He kicked his legs, lifted up, landed lightly on the stage, cupped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, Senior Sister Gong!"
"Stop talking nonsense and make a move!" Gong Qingyun nodded lightly and said calmly, not looking at him, but looking at Li Muchan in the audience.
As soon as her clear and slightly hoarse voice came out, the surrounding area became a little colder.
She stood on the stage, her white clothes fluttering, her eyes fixed on Li Muchan, but Li Muchan's eyes were slightly closed off the stage, motionless like an old monk in meditation.
She cried out in vain, and her face became colder and colder.
Seeing Gong Qingyun's cold face, the young man's face became even more bitter. He gritted his teeth, drew his sword and stabbed, hoping to take advantage of Gong Qingyun's distraction.
A clear light suddenly lit up, like a waterfall hanging from the sky. With a crisp "ding" sound, the young man let go of his long sword, flew up, and landed far away among the crowd below.
Looking away from Li Muchan's face, Gong Qingyun glanced at the young man in the crowd, and then slowly floated down to the crowd of Yaoguang Courtyard.
"Well, it's Qingyun as expected!" Jin Kaitai chuckled and said in a deep voice: "Next, Yaoguang Academy Fang Xiuxiu!"
"Here we come!" With a sweet voice, a girl jumped onto the high platform. She was wearing a moon-white robe and was bright and beautiful. It was Xiuxiu who had fought against Li Muchan.
Without waiting for Jin Kaitai to speak, she handed over the log sign with a sweet smile. Jin Kaitai glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Kaiyang Courtyard Song Chaoyang!"
Another young man jumped onto the stage. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing.
When they came to the stage, the two of them didn't say much and just drew their swords to fight.
They are all familiar with such scenes. They have experienced it a lot, and they don't realize it. Talking is unnecessary. They just have to decide the winner.
Xiu Xiu's swordsmanship was exquisite, and Song Chaoyang's strength was strong. The two fought for more than a hundred rounds, and Xiu Xiu was even better, and finally won.
Then, like a horse racing around, people kept coming up and down, one scene after another, which was more than exciting but not intense enough. Li Muchan closed his eyes slightly and ignored it.
Jin Kaitai kept standing, his eyes bright, like an eagle or a falcon, like an arrow on the string, ready to strike.
Mei Ruolan sat behind the four of them. She looked calm, her eyes were blurry, like mist, and she looked at the court lightly, and occasionally glanced down the court.
The bright sunshine was shining on me, and I couldn't help but feel lazy and wanted to fall asleep, but everyone in the audience was full of energy and high-spirited, and I felt that the young lady was looking at me.
Li Mufeng looked solemn and focused, only staring at the fight on the field without even glancing at Li Muchan, as if he didn't recognize him.
During the fights, two hours passed quickly. The sun was at the top of the sky and the sun became scorching.
"Tianjiyuan is the equal of the world!" As Jin Kaitai shouted with great enthusiasm, a young man from Tianjiyuan went up to the high platform and handed over the log sign with a grimace.
Jin Kaitai smiled: "Tianshuyuan Zhanran!"
Everyone in the audience was refreshed, and the four people on the stage were also refreshed and looked towards Tianshu Court.
Li Muchan still closed his eyes and took a steady breath, as motionless as a Buddha statue.
Li Muchan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were as clear as the water of a bright lake illuminated by the sun.
The clearness quickly faded away, and his eyes returned to normal. He untied his hand seals, stood up slowly, and with a crackling sound in his joints, took a leisurely step.
"Whoosh!" He raised his left foot and suddenly appeared on the stage like an arrow.
Jin Kaitai's eyes widened and he looked around at him, thinking to himself: It took him just a month to get to this point, this kid is really a genius!
Although Floating Light is the fastest, its mental method is complicated and impractical. No one in the Mei Mansion practices it. The other four people in Tianshu Academy practice Yunlong Jiuxian. The mental method is simple but extremely sophisticated. Although the speed is not as fast as Floating Light, it is also
Not too much different.
"Junior Brother Zhanran, please enlighten me!" Ping Sihai sighed with a bitter look on his face.
"Please——!" Li Muchan smiled.
Ping Sihai took a deep breath and stared at him as he slowly drew his sword and made a starting gesture. He suddenly seemed to be a different person, with an aura as powerful and as vast as the wind.
Li Muchan's smile remained unchanged, he made a starting gesture of the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords, and looked at him quietly.
"Watch the move!" Ping Sihai shouted, and two sword flowers appeared on the tip of the sword, fluttering towards Li Muchan, with a graceful and elegant movement.
The two major acupoints in the center of the canopy felt faintly cold. Li Muchan smiled slightly and his wrist trembled. Suddenly, the sky was covered with cold light, like hundreds of silver needles, covering the whole world.
"Ding ding ding ding..." A series of crisp sounds were like rain hitting the banana trees.
Li Muchan took a step back, flicked his sword and put it back into its sheath with a graceful and elegant gesture, and then titheted him: "Senior Brother Ping, I accept the offer!"
Ping Sihai stood stunned, his majestic aura dissipated.
After a while, he slowly put the sword into its sheath one by one, and said with a wry smile: "Junior Brother Zhanran is well-deserved, I am willing to be inferior!"
After that, he jumped down and got back into the crowd of Tianjiyuan.
People were confused and turned around to discuss. It was unclear how to determine the winner? What on earth was going on?
Someone turned around and asked: "Brother Ping, where did you fail?"
Ping Sihai shook his head and smiled bitterly, stretched out his right hand, only to see that it was trembling.
He sighed: "If he fires one more sword, my sword will fly away."
People were suddenly stunned, and one person whispered: "Zhanran is extremely powerful. It is indeed true."
Li Muchan saluted the five people on the stage, took a diagonal step, and suddenly rushed back to the four people in Tianshu Courtyard.
The four people in Tianshu Academy looked as usual, just smiling and patting him on the shoulder.
Not long after Li Muchan came back, it was Tianshu Academy's turn, first Zhao Yuzhen, then He Nanshan, Cheng Xiaofeng, and Yu Chiming.
Zhao Yuzhen faced off against a disciple of Kaiyang Academy, He Nanshan was from Yaoguang Academy, Cheng Xiaofeng was from Tianxuan Academy, and Yu Chiming was also from Kaiyang Academy, and they all won easily.
Finally, it was Li Muchan's turn, and Jin Kaitai shouted: "Tianshuyuan Zhanran!"
Li Muchan stepped forward, cast Floating Light, and the gray monk's robes floated. He arrived on the stage and presented the log plaque to Jin Kaitai.
Jin Kaitai took a look, then his eyes fell on the Yaoguang courtyard under the stage, and said in a deep voice: "Yaoguang courtyard Fang Xiuxiu!"
There was a buzz down there, and people were talking about it.
Zhao Yuzhen and the other four shook their heads and smiled. There was no need to compare.
From below, Gong Qingyun shouted: "Yaoguang Academy abstains!"
"Really abstaining?" Jin Kaitai asked in a deep voice, his expression darkening.
Gong Qingyun stood next to Fang Xiuxiu, holding her little hand tightly, pressing her lips tightly, and softly uttered one word: "Yes!"
"Okay, disqualify Fang Xiuxiu from the next round!" Jin Kaitai nodded.
Fang Xiuxiu stamped her feet, helpless, her sweet little face full of unwillingness.
Jin Kaitai stood on the stage, full of energy, and said loudly: "The two rounds have passed, we will compete for rankings in the afternoon, let's break up!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and ignored everyone. He turned around and walked straight to Mei Ruolan. He smiled respectfully and said, "Miss, how are these little guys?"
Mei Ruolan's eyes turned away, her expression was dignified and peaceful, and she nodded gently: "Fortunately, the progress is not small."
Jin Kaitai chuckled and said: "When Zhan Ran came, they were all very energetic!... Deacon Li, you have a good brother!"
Li Mufeng, who had kept a straight face all morning, now showed a smile: "It's all thanks to Commander Jin's training."
"He is a genius, it has nothing to do with me!" Jin Kaitai laughed and said modestly, but could not hide his proud look.
Mei Ruolan said lightly: "Let's see how he behaves in the afternoon."
After saying that, he stood up, took Xiao Yuan off the high platform, and walked away slowly, with a leisurely pace, but at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the audience dispersed and left one after another.
Li Muchan, Zhao Yuzhen and the others left the martial arts training ground and returned to Tianshu Academy. Along the way, they aroused countless looks, envy, jealousy, and adoration, all of which showed the complexity of people's hearts.
He lowered his eyes, moved his beads and walked slowly, turning a blind eye to the gazes directed at him. His expression was calm and calm, his gray robes fluttering, and he looked like an eminent monk.
Yu Chiming laughed and said: "Fifth Junior Brother, you are famous this time!"
Li Muchan smiled, said nothing, just moved his beads and walked slowly.
"Okay, fourth junior brother, don't join in the fun!" Zhao Yuzhen glared at him and hummed in a deep voice: "Fifth junior brother goes deep into the temple, they find it mysterious, but after a while they become familiar with it, and it won't be like this anymore."
He Nanshan asked with a smile: "Fifth Junior Brother, do you have any chance of winning against Gong Qingyun this afternoon?"
Li Muchan pinched the beads and shook his head: "Senior Sister Gong will be better than before, I'm not sure."
"Gong Qingyun is diligent, and you will advance even further!" Cheng Xiaofeng said with a smile.
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled, saying no more. Everything will be revealed in the afternoon.
Li Muchan had lunch, meditated, adjusted his breath, and recharged his energy for the afternoon competition. The morning was uneventful, with two-thirds of the people eliminated, and the highlight was in the afternoon.
