For a moment, it seemed as if even the air was frozen, and the entire scene was silent.
After a while, the elder's trembling voice was heard.
"Qualified...passed!"
As the elder's voice fell, the entire scene began to boil.
"Five...five hundred thousand...no...this is more than half a million catties!"
"How can a warrior in the samurai realm possess such great power? Even if he is born with divine power, he is not so powerful!"
"Is this kid still a human? He is simply a monster!"
Compared to the shock and surprise of everyone, Lin Yun just clapped his hands casually and walked off the stage as if nothing had happened, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
Outside the court, Jiang Nanjian's sharp sword-like eyes were fixed on Lin Yun, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense.
Yun Ruoxi also stared at Lin Yun, but what showed in her eyes was admiration.
…
The preliminaries for the Inner Disciple Selection Competition came to a perfect end in this way.
Hundreds of people participated, but after going through the waves, only eighty disciples remained.
Next comes the second round of the selection competition, the promotion round.
The rules of the promotion competition are one-on-one duel mode, and no weapons are allowed to be used in the duel.
The entire schedule is divided into three rounds.
In the first round, the eighty participating disciples were divided into forty duels. Forty people were promoted and forty people were eliminated.
In the second round, the forty participating disciples were divided into twenty duels. Twenty people were promoted and twenty were eliminated.
In the third round, the twenty participating disciples were divided into twenty duels. Ten people were promoted and ten were eliminated.
The venue for the promotion competition is divided into four areas. Assessments will be conducted separately in these four areas.
Lin Yun was assigned to the third area.
The opponents in the third area are generally weak. Except for Lin Yun, no one is ranked in the top ten in the outer sect.
After several duels, it was Lin Yun's turn.
"I...I admit defeat."
As soon as Lin Yun came on stage, his opponent simply raised his hands and surrendered.
This opponent's realm is at the peak of the third-level warrior, and his ranking in the outer sect is over 100. It is a coincidence that he passed the preliminary round.
Although his cultivation level is a little higher than Lin Yun's, he is far inferior to Lin Yun in terms of strength or other aspects.
He had absolutely no confidence that he could defeat Lin Yun. Although he was very reluctant, he could only simply surrender from the beginning.
Just like that, Lin Yun was promoted in an understatement without even moving a finger.
For the next hour, nothing happened to Lin Yun in the entire third area. Lin Yun could only sit cross-legged and meditate on the spot.
An hour later.
The first round of duels was all over, and some geishas came out to perform for a while, and then the second round came directly.
There are only twenty matches in total in the second round, so there are no divisions.
The competing disciples from the four districts were all integrated together and dueled on the same martial arts stage.
After two duels, it was finally Lin Yun's turn.
"Second round, third game, Lin Yun vs. Bian Mi."
Bian Mi is a short and fat man. He is at the middle level of the fourth-level warrior and ranks twenty-third in the outer sect. He is much more powerful than Qin Feng.
Although he was not sure that he could defeat Lin Yun, he couldn't surrender directly like that. Otherwise, he would bring shame to his old disciple.
After Lin Yun and Bian Mi came on stage, everyone in the audience looked at the stage with bated breath, obviously wanting to see what Lin Yun's strength was.
Although everyone didn't think Bian Mi could defeat Lin Yun, they could at least force out Lin Yun's strength.
However, when the game started, Lin Yun just punched Bian Mi lightly, causing Bian Mi to fall to the ground.
Everyone looked at Bian Mi lying on the martial arts platform in astonishment, their eyes full of shock.
"What! In an instant..."
"The top thirty masters in the outer sect were defeated by Lin Yun in one move! It seems that Lin Yun is stronger than I imagined!"
Everyone hoped that this duel would reveal Lin Yun's strength, but they did not expect that the result would be like this.
After Lin Yun left the field, there were more than a dozen duels.
In these duels, the top twenty disciples from the outer sect were basically promoted. The disciples ranked below the twenty from the outer sect were basically eliminated.
After the second round, the next step is the most critical third round.
The reason why this round is the most critical is because the promotion quota for inner disciples is only ten at most every year.
In the third round, it happens to be twenty into ten.
This also means that the disciple who can win in the third round has a high possibility of entering the inner gate.
Once you lose in the third round, you will basically not be qualified to advance to the inner gate.
"The third round, the first game, Lin Yun versus Chi Xiang."
Lin Yun was very lucky and was drawn directly from the beginning.
His opponent, Chi Xiang, is a sallow-looking young man.
Although this young man looks weak, he is actually the eleventh-ranked master in the outer sect and is quite powerful.
His realm is the late fourth level warrior. Although he is only half a level lower than Bian Mi, his strength is vastly different from Bian Mi.
Because he is a martial soul awakener!
Those who have awakened their martial souls and those who have not awakened their martial souls are completely different concepts.
Even those with a low level of martial soul awakening can easily defeat higher level warriors by relying on the ability of the martial soul.
Not to mention that Chi Xiang's realm is still higher than Bian Mi.
At first, many people thought that Bian Mi was slightly stronger than Lin Yun.
But after Lin Yun defeated Bian Mi instantly with one move, everyone changed their views on Lin Yun, thinking that Chi Xiang was not as strong as Lin Yun.
"Lin Yun, I heard that you are very powerful. I have wanted to meet you for a long time!"
Chixiang grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and then jumped onto the martial arts platform.
"Game start!"
As the elder's voice sounded, a strong energy burst out from Chixiang's body, converging into a barrel-shaped shadow behind him.
The surface of this barrel-shaped shadow exudes a yellow shimmer, which is obviously a yellow-level martial spirit.
"It's a martial spirit! Chixiang's martial spirit has appeared!"
A new disciple said: "But why does the shape of this martial spirit look like a dung bucket?"
The old disciple rolled his eyes at the new disciple: "What do you know? The name of this martial spirit is the Biogas Bucket Martial Spirit. Its ability is to gather biogas and use the biogas as a means of attack."
The new disciple whispered: "Isn't the biogas bucket just a cesspool?"
While everyone was discussing outside the venue, a black mist emerged from the biogas barrel and gathered on Chixiang's fists.
Chi Xiang punched out from a few meters in the air, and the black mist turned into a shadow of a fist, blasting towards Lin Yun at high speed.
Because the fist shadow moved so fast, in the eyes of everyone in the audience, the fist shadow no longer looked like a fist shadow, but a blurry long shadow.
But in Lin Yun's eyes, this blurry long shadow was as slow as a turtle crawling.
