There is a huge rock in the pool under the waterfall.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged, with the Yunyin Sword and the scabbard placed on his knees. His whole person entered a mysterious and ethereal state, forgetting both God and self.
The rumbling sound of the waterfall did not affect Ye Chen. In his perception, the world was no longer the original world, the sound had completely disappeared, and the speed of the waterfall falling became slower and slower, and finally he simply started
It moves slowly, falling slowly, and from time to time a few droplets of water swirl out, shining with colorful light in the sun, like the most brilliant crystal stone.
When he sensed that the waterfall was completely still, Ye Chen opened his cold eyes.
Draw your sword and slash!
The movements were completed in one go, without any sloppiness.
Silently, the waterfall on the opposite side was cut in two, falling downwards in two sections, never connected together.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud noises were heard, and water splashed everywhere.
"We are still half a step away from the sword intention. Unfortunately, this half step is the most difficult and requires a long period of tempering." With that sword strike just now, Ye Chen almost felt the existence of the sword intention. Unfortunately, it was always a bit mysterious and could only be regarded as half.
Step sword intention is still slightly different from the real sword intention.
call!
A misty and arrow-like breath was exhaled from his mouth. Ye Chen slowly stood up, his body shook, and the half-step sword intent that was emitted immediately disappeared, making it difficult for outsiders to notice.
After looking at the scenery for a while, Ye Chen returned along the way he came.
Outside the yard, Wu Zongming saw Ye Chen coming back and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to find you."
Ye Chen said: "There are only three days left for the inner disciple ranking competition. I want to improve my strength as soon as possible."
"You don't want to break into the ranks of the top ten disciples of the inner sect, do you?"
"Almost!"
Wu Zongming's eyes widened, "Really? The top ten disciples of the inner sect are close to the core disciples. Some of them are even qualified to become core disciples. And the most important thing is that they are almost all in the late stage of Ningzhen Realm. They have
The combat power that instantly kills ordinary warriors of the same level."
The top ten disciples of the inner sect are the most elite group of inner sect disciples. Each of them is a proud man who combines talent, understanding and will. They may not be as good as the core disciples, but as long as they are given time, who knows?
How far can we go, so for the sect, the top ten disciples of the inner sect are equally important as the core disciples, and they will not be ignored because of the temporary difference in strength.
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled: "When did you lose your ambition? Aren't you the top ten disciples of the inner sect? I heard that several people are eliminated every year and new faces appear."
Wu Zongming opened his mouth and was speechless. He felt that he was indeed a little unambitious. When Ye Chen was still at the sixth level of the Qi Training Realm, he dared to confront Zhang Haoran, who was at the peak of the tenth level of the Qi Training Realm. Now he is at the Ningzhen Realm.
In the mid-term, why can't he replace others and become one of the new top ten disciples of the inner sect? Don't tell others, don't you have this intention? Not necessarily!
"You are right. I used to be the first disciple of the outer sect and didn't feel much pressure. But after becoming an inner sect disciple, I was surrounded by the best of the best. With my talent and strength, it was nothing at all, so
I have been hiding my true thoughts, planning to move up step by step without being too radical. Now that you talk about it, I understand why the gap between Zhang Haoran and I will tend to widen, because I have lost the spirit of bravery and diligence, and have begun to deteriorate.
He is an ordinary member of the inner disciples." Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. If Wu Zongming had not been with Ye Chen, he would not have realized this, but he saw the changes in Ye Chen and felt that he
Success is no accident and is worth pondering.
The joy of taking the Return to Truth Pill and being promoted to the middle stage of the Condensation Realm disappeared. Wu Zongming sighed: "I suddenly woke up! I thought that relying on the Return to Truth Pill could bring us closer, but now it seems that the distance is getting farther and farther.
, at least not as good as you in terms of fighting spirit."
Ye Chen opened the courtyard door and invited the other party in. As he walked, he said: "Actually, talent is like a stepping stone. It can make you start at a higher starting point than others. But if you want to keep improving, talent alone is not enough. You need to understand your own path and walk.
Your own way.”
Wu Zongming smiled bitterly, "The road is still too far for me. I really don't know what state you have reached!"
"By the way, what do you want from me?" Ye Chen asked.
Wu Zongming patted his head and said, "I almost forgot about business. The ranking competition will be held in three days, and we have to draw lots now."
"Draw lots now?"
"Well, except for the top ten disciples of the last inner sect, everyone has to draw lots and register their names. Otherwise, it will be a troublesome thing to wait until the competition day."
"Indeed, let's go together!"
While walking, Ye Chen learned that the inner sect disciple ranking competition is divided into ten groups. Each group has about fifty people. One of the top ten disciples of the inner sect will be assigned to one of them, which is equivalent to the seed player. The group stage will last for ten years.
In each round, the top three are qualified to compete in the next finals to compete for the top ten disciples of the inner sect. The others are ranked according to the number of games won.
Budo Plaza.
A large lottery box was placed there, with two registration officers next to it.
At this time, many inner disciples were already drawing lots.
"...You are so unlucky, why did you end up in the Ghost Sword and Li Kuang group?"
"You're still calling this a back-up. My team is called Blood Shadow Sword Meng Chong. Who can beat him? I have no choice but to give up when I encounter him."
Ye Chen looked puzzled and lined up at the back of the queue.
After a while, it was his turn.
He reached into the lottery box and touched a thin wooden sign. When he took it up and looked at it, it read, 'No. 28, Group 7, seed player in the group: Feng Ping!'
Next to it, the registration staff wrote Ye Chen's name and group number.
After drawing the lots, the two people withdrew from the crowd. Wu Zongming asked, "Which group are you in and who is the seed player?"
"In the fifth group, the seed player is Feng Ping."
"Flying in the wind Feng Ping!" Wu Zongming was stunned for a moment and said: "He ranks sixth among the top ten disciples of the inner sect. His lightness skills are ridiculously high. It is said that he can fly gracefully in the wind, as light as nothing. He is ten people
He is one of the more difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I didn’t meet him, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to touch the corners of his clothes.”
The lightness skill is ridiculously high!
Ye Chen showed some interest. For him, Qinggong was also an advantage. He didn't know how it compared with Feng Zhongfei Feng Ping.
As for Wu Zongming, he is in the third group. The seed player is Xiao Ye, who ranked third among the top ten disciples of the inner sect last time. He is ranked higher than Pei Shaoqing and Ghost Sword Li Kuang. He is good both internally and externally, and has high defense and attack.
It's terrible, and he is known as a 'madman' in the world of martial arts.
After leaving the martial arts square, the two of them separated.
The third day.
The night before the ranking match, Ye Chen finally reached the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. His Qi was more than three points stronger than before. At the same time, his Pure Jun Qi also reached the seventh peak level, and his Qi Sword was almost solidified.
, more powerful than the sword light.
Everything is ready now, just waiting for the ranking match to start tomorrow.
