"I didn't expect that in just a few years, Brother Liu would have such a thrilling experience... By the way, Brother Liu must also participate in the competition of these eight branches." Yan Ming suddenly changed the subject and mentioned the competition.
Things.
"The Outer Sect Competition is a grand event for the Eighth Academy, so I must participate in it. Speaking of this, Liu has been in seclusion for a long time, and has seldom cared about the affairs in the courtyard recently. I wonder who are the powerful people in the Eighth Academy now.
Characters, who else needs special attention?" Liu Ming heard this and immediately asked in a follow-up manner.
"Brother Liu, you have asked the right person about this matter. In terms of strength in Piaohong Courtyard, Senior Brother Zhou is the most outstanding now. In addition, there are..."
After about a cup of tea, Yanming told Liu Ming one by one about the powerful characters he knew in the eight courtyards.
During this period, Xueyun also added several outer disciples who needed special attention.
When Liu Ming heard the words, he couldn't help but nod his head, adding a few words from time to time, while keeping everything he heard firmly in mind.
"Thank you very much. In this case, I won't be confused when I participate in the competition." After hearing this, Liu Ming expressed his thanks again.
"Brother Liu, you don't have to be polite. The two of us are very optimistic about Brother Liu's results in this competition. As long as he can enter the top ten, there is a high chance that he will be favored by the seniors in the true elixir realm and join the inner sect.
By the way, Junior Sister Xue and I have to go to Fangshi to make some preparations for the competition, so we won’t disturb Brother Liu. I’ll see you at the venue in three days.” After a few polite words with Liu Ming, Yan Ming stood up with Xueyun.
Farewell.
After Liu Ming said goodbye to the two of them, he returned to the secret room and quietly closed his eyes to rest.
A few days later.
When Liu Ming was meditating and practicing his Qi in the secret room, suddenly the array disk around his waist trembled slightly again. A faint sound transmission floated over.
"The competition is about to begin. All disciples are requested to gather at Yun Yifeng as soon as possible."
Liu Ming immediately opened his eyes, stood up, carefully checked the items in the Sumeru Ring, opened the map of Wanling Mountains and glanced at it, then left the cave and drove the clouds towards Tianyi Peak.
go.
At the same time, various kinds of escaping lights appeared one after another in the sky above several nearby mountains, and all of them were heading towards Yun Yifeng.
After a meal, a green soap-robed willow whistle appeared at the top of Yun Yifeng, where was a flat land with a radius of nearly a thousand acres...
This peak is high enough to be ranked among the top ten in the entire Wanling Mountains. It is seven to eight thousand feet high. The peak is surrounded by clouds and mist in the void. It looks like a fairyland.
When Liu Ming arrived, as many as three to four thousand people had gathered on the platform at the top of the peak, and there were still people flying in one after another.
Most of these people are in their twenties, but there are also some older ordinary disciples, and even occasionally people wearing the clothes of inner disciples can be seen.
In the center of the open plain, ten bluestone arenas that are half a foot high and dozens of feet long and wide are clearly visible.
Behind the ten arenas, there is another white jade platform about the size of an acre, with some figures standing on it.
Two of them, dressed in gray robes and with a long beard, were clearly the dean of the dean, Jiang Zhong, and the one next to him with the iconic inverted eyebrows was none other than the deputy dean, Liang Zhange.
Another old man with yellow eyebrows with a haggard face and sunken eyes, and a beautiful woman with a good figure in neon clothes, Liu Ming had also seen before entering Xiaoyan Realm that day.
Heads of other branches.
As for the remaining people, most of their auras are unfathomable, and they are obviously strong in the true elixir realm.
After Liu Ming took a deep breath, he chose a corner and stood there quietly without moving.
Soon after, as more and more outer disciples arrived, the number of True Alchemy Realm beings on the white jade platform also gradually increased.
Some people directly drive the five-colored clouds down, while others arrive in flying boats and giant birds.
Suddenly, a green rainbow broke through the sky from the distant sky, flashed a few times, and fell onto the white jade platform. After the light faded, several True Alchemy Realm beings suddenly appeared.
Among them was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old and a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and holding a blue folding fan. They were the leader of Cuiyun Peak named Lu and boy Haoyue. Next to them was another man in a green shirt with a handsome face.
, a middle-aged woman in her thirties.
After a few simple conversations with other acquaintances nearby, a few people appeared in the corner of the high platform in a flash of light, and also waited.
An hour later, when the entire top of the mountain was filled with densely packed people, fifty or sixty people from the True Alchemy Realm outside the eight branches on the white jade platform also gathered.
Of course, these people cannot represent all the peaks of the Taiqing Sect. Only those branches that have inner sect disciple quotas and are interested in this competition will send people to watch.
At this time, among the eight courtyard masters, the beautiful woman with a good figure raised her head to look at the sky, and finally spoke impatiently:
"It's almost time."
"Well, it's true that it's getting late, let's get started." Seeing this, the short and fat man next to him said calmly.
Jiang Chong and other major courtyard masters naturally had no objections and nodded one after another.
So the short and fat man took two steps forward, coughed slightly, and announced loudly:
"The Eight-House Competition, which is held once every ten years, will be held here today. Now, on behalf of all the heads of the Eight Houses, I would like to announce the rules of the competition."
Although the short and fat man's voice was not loud, it resounded throughout the entire mountain, allowing every disciple to hear clearly.
Immediately, all the disciples calmed down and looked towards the high platform.
After the short and fat man looked around again, he continued to announce:
"The rules of this competition are roughly the same as before. All outer disciples within the eight courtyards can participate. The preliminary competition is a promotion and elimination system. All participating disciples first draw lots to determine their opponents. They then compete against each other in pairs. The winner will advance to the next stage.
Round, and the top one hundred are determined in this way.
The semi-finals will still adopt the promotion and elimination system, and the top ten will be determined by drawing lots again. The top ten will compete in rounds. The specific rules of the rounds will be explained in detail after the top ten are determined.
In addition, those who enter the top 100 in the competition will receive certain spiritual stones and contribution point rewards, and those who enter the top ten will receive more spiritual stones and sect contribution points, as well as other rewards prepared by the sect, so I hope you all
Be able to go all out. In addition, during the competition, you are responsible for life and death. However, if any disciple deliberately takes action to seriously injure the opponent during the competition, it will be treated as wanton killing of the alliance, and will be severely punished.
Mana, expel Taiqingmen.
As for the specific challenge rules of the competition, there are instructions on the stone wall on the other side of the arena. After half an hour, lots will be drawn, and half a day later, the ten arenas will start competing at the same time."
After the short and fat man spoke for a long time, he took a few steps back and started chatting with himself and several other courtyard owners.
The disciples on the mountain peak immediately became commotion. Although most of them knew the rules of the comparison test well, there were still some who couldn't bear to rush to the huge stone wall next to them and started checking again.
…
"Master Jiang, I heard that your Piaohong Academy is full of talents recently! I heard that in addition to Zhou Tianrui, a disciple who was among the top ten in the last competition, there is another disciple named Liu who has passed Nabi.
The trial of Qionghuan Palace." On the jade platform, the yellow-browed old man said to Jiang Zhong in a serious and profound manner.
"No, Master Chen is ridiculous. I heard that you have a new disciple surnamed Lin in Fengling Academy. He is also an extremely talented person and is proficient in various ghost arts. In addition, your nephew Chen Deng,
He has already become famous, and his attainments in the magic circle are unparalleled. With the two of them here, I think Fenglingyuan will be able to shine in this competition." Jiang Chong smiled after hearing this and said unhurriedly.
said.
When other people heard this, most of them just smiled and said nothing.
The beautiful woman pursed her lips and looked like she was smiling.
The eight masters of the academy naturally attach great importance to this competition. The top ten disciples in the competition will not only receive a lot of resources individually, but their branch will also receive praise from the sect and receive a lot of resources. For each branch in the next ten years,
development is crucial.
If any disciple is lucky enough to win the championship, there will be no worries about resources in the next ten years.
Another point is that the result of each competition will directly determine their reputation in the sect and their own immediate interests, so they naturally attach great importance to the results of the competition.
Half an hour will pass in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Liu Ming also carefully read the preliminary competition information from the stone wall again.
The preliminary round is divided into ten districts, and through pairwise duel, the last ten remaining people will be the top ten in the district, and thus the top 100 will be produced.
After that, the top 100 will be drawn again, and the top ten will still be determined in pairs.
Afterwards, Liu Ming hurriedly glanced at the crowd, then walked to the other side of the mountain, in front of a stone tablet more than ten feet high, to draw lots.
At this time, the names of many disciples appeared densely on the stone tablet.
After he waved the sect token on his waist towards the stone tablet, a flash of green light disappeared into the stone tablet.
In the lower right corner of the gray light curtain on the surface of the stone tablet, in the ninth area, the words Piaohongyuan Liu Ming suddenly appeared.
"ninth District."
Liu Ming muttered to himself.
At this moment, Yan Ming and Xueyun walked out of the crowd at some point and happened to see Liu Ming drawing lots.
"Hey, Junior Brother Liu is in the ninth district." Yan Ming looked at the stone tablet and said.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Yan and Junior Sister Xue, did you two draw lots?" Liu Ming nodded and asked casually.
"The two of us just came to draw lots, and we happened to meet Junior Brother Liu." Xueyun, who was wearing a white shirt beside him, said with a slight smile.
With that said, the two of them took out their sect tokens and waved them towards the stone tablet.
The same two blue lights flashed out and disappeared into the stone tablet.
Immediately, their names lit up almost at the same time. Among them, Yan Ming was placed in the fifth district, while Xueyun was placed in the first district.
"It turns out to be the fifth district." Yan Ming looked at his district on the stone tablet with a serious look on his face.
Liu Ming glanced at the stone tablet. In the fifth area, there were two names of strong men mentioned by Yanming before.
"Senior Brother Yan, the competition within the sect is just a competition. If you encounter a strong enemy, treat it as a rare actual combat experience." Xueyun on the side seemed to have noticed Yan Ming's thoughts and comforted him.
Yan Ming smiled bitterly and could only nod.
Liu Ming once again carefully scanned the name of District 9 on the stone tablet. After a flash of light, he suddenly discovered that Zang Xuan's name was also among them.
In addition to this person, there are two other famous disciples mentioned by Yan Ming, and the others seem to be unknown people.
However, each district has ten seats that enter the top 100, so he may not necessarily meet these people before entering the top 100.
(First update! The competition "gaochao" is coming.)
