There is still a quarter of an hour left before the start of the re-election.
One after another, figures walked in from the side door of the martial arts arena. The queue was nearly a hundred meters long, with a rough estimate of two to three hundred people.
There were men and women, both young and old, wearing uniform blue-grey martial robes with the character "Xuan" inscribed with flying dragons and phoenixes on their backs.
It is easy to identify the identities of these hundreds of people, who are none other than Xuanzong.
The scene became inexplicably quiet.
Everyone in the miscellaneous sect looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes.
Xuanzong's people were actually let in and came to the martial arts arena. What was going on?
"Welcome all the Xuanzong elders and Xuanzong disciples to come and observe the election of our inner sect of the Miscellaneous Sect." In the midst of doubts, a loud voice wrapped in zhenqi rippled out.
On a high platform in the center above, five elders of the martial arts hall stood with their heads held high. Among them, a young man with an imposing figure raised his hands to the four figures on the high platform next door.
The young man's name is Guo Huai. He is not only the elder of the martial arts hall, but also has another identity, the second disciple of the leader of the Miscellaneous Sect.
Under the shock, he took a few steps back, paused, stepped forward again, spun out his kick, kicked the drum surface hard, and then punched again.
In a short period of ten breaths, a total of five blows were struck on the drum head. When the time was up, the drumming stopped, but the sound of the drum continued, and finally it sounded eight times.
The sixth level of body refining who took action next was a male disciple. Within ten breaths, he also beat the drum six times. On the fifth time, he punched too hard, and his arm collapsed due to the shock. However, he ignored it and followed up with a heavy kick.
, completed the sixth blow, and was knocked backwards by the shock. After falling to the ground, he vomited two mouthfuls of blood and coughed violently. It seemed that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
The performance of the first three batches of more than 20 people was quite satisfactory, and there were not many surprises in the results. The atmosphere was a bit tepid.
Within ten breaths, if you hit the drum head six times, the drum will sound thirteen times!
The other four martial arts elders did not speak, but they also held their hands in a smile.
In comparison, Gu Changning's conditions in all aspects are superior.
The first person to strike was a male disciple at the fifth level of physical training. He saw her body flickering and she entered the attack range in a moment. She let out a deep shout and hit the drum head with a heavy punch.
None of these seven people are descendants of the family, they are all grassroots, including Xu Le.
There was a slight murmur of surprise at the scene, but more of the miscellaneous sects who were watching looked as usual, not too surprised.
For disciples at the sixth level of body refining, the drum sounded nine times. For disciples at the seventh level of body refining, the drum sounded nine times. For disciples at the eighth level of body refining, the drum sounded ten times. For disciples at the ninth level of body refining, the drum sounded eleven times.
For disciples who are at the lower level of opening their meridians, the drums sound thirteen times, and for disciples who are at the middle level of opening their meridians, the drums are sounded fourteen times.
At that moment, a low and deafening drum beat sounded like a heartbeat.
The more times the drum head is hit, the greater the force, and the more times the drum will sound. Every time the drummer hits the drum head, he himself has to withstand the corresponding counter-shock force. Once he is injured,
, the subsequent drumming strength and frequency will inevitably be greatly affected.
Each contestant who is shortlisted for the second round has one chance, and the time is limited to ten breaths. Within ten breaths, there is no limit to the number of times and methods of drumming.
It wasn't until the fourth batch of seven people appeared that the situation suddenly changed.
Under the arrangement of the two deacons, an area with excellent viewing angles was set aside for Xuanzong's group.
The top 400 will advance to the next event, and the bottom 100 will be eliminated.
The fifth-level body refining practitioner who struck first was a female disciple. Within ten breaths, she hit the drum six times. The last blow was with her elbow. Her body was almost touching the drum surface. Her cheeks turned pale and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth when she was hit by the shock.
.
His own talent in martial arts is not outstanding. At the age of 24, he is three years older than Gu Changning. Five years ago, he participated in the last inner sect election with the eighth level of physical training, but the result was failed in the re-election.
The drum beat eleven times.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Although Luo Yi is also a family disciple, the Luo family is only the third lord of a small city in Mo State, and the resources to support his cultivation are relatively limited.
There were still seven people in the second batch, and the number of times the drum sounded was between eight and thirteen times. The disciples who were still at a higher level achieved better results.
Eight drums are placed in the venue from left to right.
There are two rounds of re-election, the first round is drumming.
The third batch of eight people included Luo Yi, the only high-grade meridian opener among the outer disciples, and Gu Changning.
Although the gap in realm has been erased, in terms of performance, the disciples with higher realms are still significantly better than the disciples with lower realms.
The drawing of lots was completed in advance. Under the guidance of an inner disciple, the first seven people came to the front of the seven-sided drum corresponding to the high-grade meridians.
This is a comprehensive test of attack speed, explosive power, and physical strength.
Everyone in the Zazong was relieved. It turned out that they were here to observe, but it was also an invitation from the Zazong. People who came from afar could not refuse the invitation.
However, there are still hundreds of people watching the re-election in advance, which is still a bit against the rules.
Not surprising, excluding the factor of age, on the whole, disciples with higher realms must have higher talents, richer actual combat experience, more sufficient training resources, and higher levels of practicing techniques and combat skills.
Luo Yi rang fifteen times, but it was not the best result among the eight people. Gu Changning rang sixteen times.
"If you'd like to disturb me, I'd like to thank Haihan." On the high platform over there, the four people returned the greeting. The one who responded was a handsome young man who was none other than Shi Junjie, the eldest disciple of the Xuanzong sect.
If you don't know that the two sects are like fire and water, the current scene of the elders of the two sects greeting each other and being polite will definitely make people think that the relationship is very friendly.
Such hard work resulted in twelve drum beats.
They correspond to the fifth level of body refining to the top level of opening the meridians. The drum heads are made of different materials, which minimizes the difference in realm.
Next, the six people took action one by one.
It was Xu Le's turn. He punched for the third time. His teeth were clenched and his face was red. Then with the fourth punch, a pair of eyes popped out and his face was flushed. Then with the fifth punch, his teeth were loosened and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
This wasn't over yet, he gritted his teeth again, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and hit him with his body again.
However, the second disciple of the sect leader clearly expressed his welcome, and the Wutang elders also acquiesced, which obviously represented the sect's attitude.
The final score is based on the number of times the drum sounds.
The other four people all tried their best, even at the expense of injuring themselves in the counterattack.
That scene made people's hearts beat with fear, and screams of exclamation came and went.
Lin Ansheng, who was hiding in the crowd, sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that these seven people had fought to the limit, or even to the limit.
And when Xu Le launched the final collision, Lin Ansheng was really worried about him.
The competition has reached this point. Fierce is no longer enough to describe it, it can be called brutal!
