"Hehe, it looks like we have quite a few old rivals!"
Yun Xiao, who walked to the left side of the main arena, looked at the lineup of about a hundred people, and couldn't help but murmured because he found that many of these people had problems with him.
Except for Feng Hang, Shen Xiao and Guan Tong, most of those who are interested in participating in the outer sect competition are veteran geniuses who have joined the outer sect of Yuhu Sect for three or six years. Their pulse energy cultivation is, Most of them are in the late stage of the Pulse Gathering Realm and the peak of the Pulse Gathering Realm.
However, Yun Xiao looked over and found that the third prince of the Xuanyue Empire, Xuan Zhi, was also among them. However, this one had already reached the late stage of the Pulse Gathering Realm, so there was nothing wrong with participating in this outer sect competition.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Xiao suddenly saw Zhao Ningshu of the Zhao family and Cao Luo of the Cao family standing somewhere, with a touch of excitement on their faces.
"No wonder, it turns out that I have broken through to the middle stage of Pulse Gathering Realm!"
When Yun Xiao's soul power sensed the slightly overflowing pulse energy of these two people, he immediately realized. It seems that in these ten days, Zhao Ningshu and Cao Luo both made breakthroughs, and both reached the Pulse Gathering Realm. Mid-term.
Of course, Yun Xiao's opponents now are no longer these new talents who entered the outer sect together, but the veteran disciples of the outer sect, and even the top five ruthless people on the mortal list.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Yun Xiao, who is in the late stage of Pulse Gathering Realm, should not have much chance to stand out among the outer sect geniuses. After all, in the subconscious of these outer sect geniuses, the pulse energy Cultivation determines everything.
Even Fenghang Shen Xiao Guantong, who had fought against Yun Xiao before, had never regarded Yun Xiao as an opponent, because in the previous times, Yun Xiao either used clever designs or used external forces. The strength has not been greatly reflected at all.
As for Zhao Ningshu, Cao Luoxuanzhi and others, they had fought with Yun Xiao before. However, the higher the Qi cultivation level, the greater the gap between the realms.
At the peak of the Pulse Gathering Realm, he was able to cross levels and defeat the early stage of the Pulse Gathering Realm, and even tied with Xuanzhi in the middle stage of the Pulse Gathering Realm. After reaching the Pulse Gathering Realm, it should be impossible for Yun Xiao to have such an ability to cross levels to challenge again.
Therefore, this young man in rough clothes stood among the crowd. Apart from the hidden hatred and resentment, no one thought too highly of Yun Xiao, and they had more important things to pay attention to.
Seeing that more than a hundred people had gathered on the left side of the main arena in the center, and no one came down from the stands anymore, the Sixth Elder Su He saluted the two elders behind him and walked quickly towards this side. Came over.
Whoosh!
Su He walked closer and wiped his hands on his waist. Immediately, there were two more cylinders on his hands, and there were some wooden skewers in the round holes.
Yun Xiao looked up and saw that the wooden stick in the wooden tube in Su He's left hand was dark in color, but the wooden stick in the wooden tube in his right hand was green, presumably to show the difference.
"Fellow outer sect disciples, there are a total of 120 of you participating in the outer sect competition this time. On my left and right hands, there are wooden picks numbered from one to sixty. Please come forward one by one to draw lots. The numbers on the black and green picks are the same. The two of them are our opponents in the first round!"
I think Su He has been doing this kind of thing for some years. Both his movements and explanations are very familiar. And his explanation is also aimed at the newly promoted outer disciples Ruyun Xiaoxuanzhi and others. As for the veteran geniuses, Naturally, I already knew the rules.
The so-called drawing of lots also requires a certain amount of luck. For example, an outer sect genius at the peak of the Pulse Gathering Realm can originally enter the top ten. If he is unlucky and draws Feng Hang or Shen Xiao in the first round, then he will The road to an outer sect competition has come to an end.
So everyone is secretly praying that they won’t draw two Chongmai realm geniuses in the first round. Speaking of which, sometimes luck is also a part of strength. A good draw may determine the path of this genius. How far.
Compared to these geniuses at the Pulse Gathering Realm level, Feng Hang and Shen Xiao did not have such entanglements. This time, they both took a step forward as if they had made an appointment again.
However, the positions they pointed at were completely different. The tube drawn by Feng Hang was black, while Shen Xiao reached for the green one. Their movements and speeds were similar, and they each drew out their hands in just an instant. Got a wooden stick.
"It's best if these two draw the same number!"
Seeing this scene, many people prayed secretly in their hearts. If these two Chongmai realm geniuses met in the first round and then fought to the death, then maybe they would actually fight for the first two. Opportunities for ranking.
I just want to draw two identical numbers for the first time among the sixty wooden lots. This probability is undoubtedly extremely small, at least when Feng Hang and Shen Xiao each hold up the wooden lots in their hands. , everyone saw it clearly and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Season closure, black signature No. 8!"
"Shen Xiao, green visa number 54!"
Following Elder Su He's loud voice, everyone felt disappointed. Their prayers just now were undoubtedly ineffective at all, and seemed to have had the opposite effect. The difference between the two numbers was simply thousands of miles apart.
Many veteran geniuses who have experienced previous outer sect competitions all know that the qualifications for this outer sect competition are generally divided into upper and lower halves, and then the winners of the two halves will meet for a decisive battle.
For example, this time, there are a total of 120 people who signed up to participate in the outer sect competition, which means that there are 60 people in each of the upper and lower half areas. In other words, the first thirty lottery numbers are in one half area, and the last thirty are in one half area. The lottery number is a half zone.
Now that Feng Hang has drawn No. 8 and Shen Xiao has drawn No. 54, doesn't it mean that these two people have already occupied the top spot in the upper and lower half of the district, so what else can others compete for?
Although these outer sect disciples knew that the top two in this outer sect competition would most likely belong to Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, they still had the last hope, which was to draw lots.
As long as Feng Hang and Shen Xiao can be drawn into the same half zone, then one of them will be eliminated before the final battle, and then other geniuses will have a chance.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or a fact, but after these two drew lots, everyone felt disappointed and gave up the unrealistic idea.
After all, in every outer sect competition, in addition to the top two who will definitely be promoted to the inner sect, there are still some special circumstances, such as the first elder, the second elder, and even the sixth elder Su He. If they fancy which one If you are an outer sect disciple, you can also make an exception and accept him as a direct disciple and directly enter the inner sect.
Now that the two fixed quotas have been locked up by Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, these outside geniuses can only do the next best thing and try their best to refute that illusory opportunity.
The third person to draw lots is Guantong, who is ranked third on the mortal list. He is already a cultivator with half a foot in the Chongmai realm. Apart from the two super geniuses Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, he is here There is no opponent at all in the outer gate.
“Never draw into the top half!”
Guan Tong took a deep breath and muttered silently in his mind. Relatively speaking, he still believed that Feng Hang, who was number one on the mortal list, was stronger, so he was more willing to face Shen Xiao, who was second on the mortal list.
In Guan Tong's view, as long as he draws the same lower half as Shen Xiao, at least breaking into the decisive battle in the lower half will not be a surprise. When the time comes, he can use some hidden methods to defeat Shen Xiao. Xiao opportunity.
So what Guantong drew was a black lot, because just now Fenghang also drew a black lot. If he drew here, at least he would never encounter Fenghang in this first round.
However, God didn't seem to hear the voice coming from Guan Tong's heart. When he took the black lottery out of the tube and looked at the big "sixteen" on it, he undoubtedly became a little depressed.
Those with the 30th pick and below are all in the top half, which means that even if Guan Tong can defeat all the top half geniuses, he will still encounter a blockade before the final battle. There is no doubt about this.
"Guan Tong, black sign No. 16!"
Su He didn't care about Guan Tong's ugly face, so he shouted dutifully, causing most people in the venue to focus on the black lottery tube.
It seems that these outer disciples can stand out from hundreds of disciples, and they are definitely not fools. Now that the black lottery numbers 8 and 16 have been taken away by the air traffic control channel, if they go to draw the green lottery, they might be able to win. I'll meet these two.
After weighing the two aspects, the black lottery has a greater chance of winning. Although the green lottery No. 54 also has Shen Xiao, a strong person in the Chongmai Realm, he is only one person after all, and the chance of encountering him is undoubtedly much smaller.
Phew! Phew!
Almost in unison, dozens of hands stretched out towards the black lotus tube. In just a moment, the black lotus tube in Su He's hand was empty.
Some of the outer geniuses who moved a little slower and failed to grab the black wooden sign were all dejected, cursing themselves why they were not faster?
It's just that when those who didn't grab the black lottery saw the look of mourning on a certain person's face, they finally felt a little more balanced. Some people even knew the black lottery number in this person's hand without even looking at it.
"Black sign, number fifty-four!"
When a genius who was quite close to the person read out the number of the black lottery, no one doubted it anymore. It turned out that the reason why this person looked so ugly was because he had drawn Shen Xiao in the first round. I have to say His luck is really... bad!
However, everyone was vying for the black lottery, and someone would definitely draw the number 54, so the people around him did not gloat about it. To a certain extent, it was because this person drew the number 54 that he They avoided a disaster, and they still have to thank this person.
Relatively speaking, Yun Xiao and Lingwan did not compete for the black lottery, because by grabbing the black lottery, they could at most avoid encountering the air traffic closure in the first round. They should encounter it, but they will eventually encounter it. .
