The competition for ranking of disciples in the outer courtyard officially started with the command of the presiding deacon elder.
Since there were so many disciples from the outer courtyard participating in the competition, the competition was conducted by drawing lots at the beginning.
Ye Guchen put his hands behind his back and stood calmly, as if he was not worried about Mu Xingzhu losing at all.
"Humph, are you trying to stay calm?" Not far away, Qin Lin'er was surrounded by a group of disciples from the outer courtyard, like stars over the moon.
She also paid attention to Mu Xingzhu and Ye Guchen all the time.
Seeing the calm expressions on their faces, Qin Lin'er felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
"It's impossible. It's only been half a month. How far can that bitch grow? And I still have that trump card..." Qin Lin'er murmured in her heart. When she thought of that thing, she felt slightly uneasy.
He also settled down.
The first opponent Mu Xingzhu drew was an ordinary disciple of the fourth level of Qi Refining.
There was almost no suspense. After a few moves, Mu Xingzhu defeated him.
However, Mu Xingzhu is also very smart and knows how to hide his clumsiness, and has no intention of showing off his true strength.
The level she showed was almost the same as before, and the sword she used was also her previous sword.
Obviously, Mu Xingzhu would not fully expose his strength before facing off against Qin Lin'er.
However, in the eyes of some people, this scene turned into Mu Xingzhu standing still.
"Why do you feel that Mu Xingzhu's strength has not improved much?"
"Yes, although it looks a little stronger than before, it's just that. How can you beat Senior Sister Qin Lin'er with such strength?"
Some disciples in the outer courtyard are confused. After all, Qin Lin'er has occupied the top five in the outer courtyard for a long time, and her ranking is almost unbeatable.
So in their eyes, with Mu Xingzhu's current strength, compared with Qin Lin'er, it's like throwing an egg at a stone.
Mu Xingzhu was vaguely aware of the many playful glances and whispers around him.
But her mood didn't fluctuate at all. When she practiced with Ye Guchen, her mood seemed to be influenced by Ye Guchen's ears and eyes, and she became extremely calm.
Seeing Mu Xingzhu's calm attitude, Ye Guchen also nodded secretly.
As a sword cultivator, training your mind is more important than practicing your sword.
When your mind is strong, the sword in your hand will never be weak.
This drawing of lots and competition lasted for two full hours.
During these two hours, the way everyone looked at Mu Xingzhu also changed drastically.
Because Mu Xingzhu actually won all the battles against more than a dozen outer disciples.
Moreover, later on, masters of the seventh and even eighth levels of Qi Refining appeared, but Mu Xingzhu still defeated them calmly.
The most important thing is that Mu Xingzhu did not use the Aurora Sword, the magic weapon.
Until this moment, the eyes of many disciples were filled with surprise and suspicion, and they all turned to Ye Guchen, who was standing on the viewing platform with an extremely indifferent expression.
Obviously, Mu Xingzhu's amazing performance is closely related to Ye Guchen.
"This Mu Xingzhu is surprising. His sword skills have improved a lot. Both the speed and the sharpness of the sword are far superior to those of ordinary disciples from the outer courtyard." On the elders' viewing platform, Elder Qinghe also had a strange look in his eyes.
"Yes, I originally thought that the top five people in the outer courtyard could impress me, but I didn't expect that this little girl is so outstanding, and the most admirable thing is her state of mind, just like Shisui
, It’s really rare.” The person who spoke was a kind-hearted old woman, who was also an elder.
"Elder Xiyun must have a love for talents, but I heard that Mu Xingzhu is practicing swordsmanship with Ye Guchen, so I can see that Ye Guchen is really unique." Elder Qinghe said with a smile.
"Hmph..." Elder Qinghe and Elder Xiyun heard this, but Gu Tuo's expression on the side was always cold.
Three hours passed, and most of the outer court disciples were eliminated. In the end, only twenty outer court disciples were left, competing for the top ten in the outer court.
The top ten disciples in the outer courtyard are qualified to challenge the disciples in the inner courtyard.
Among these twenty disciples, Mu Xingzhu stands out.
This made all the disciples of the outer courtyard marvel. Who would have thought that Mu Xingzhu, who was ranked 720th in the outer courtyard, could actually enter the top twenty.
Only half a month has passed.
For a moment, many eyes looked at Ye Guchen, not to mention the female disciples, but also some of the male disciples, all with an extreme passion.
Of course, that look had no other meaning, it was just that he was very curious about Ye Guchen's teachings.
"Mu Xingzhu is progressing too fast. If I let Senior Brother Ye guide me, I wonder how far I will improve?"
"Yes, Mu Xingzhu has been promoted really fast, and she has even squeezed into the top twenty. Even if she can't beat Qin Lin'er, she is still proud of herself, and no one will say anything."
Seeing the disciples from the outer courtyard whispering among each other, Qin Lin'er's expression turned extremely ugly.
Disbelief surged in her eyes, and she stared at Ye Guchen.
However, Ye Guchen seemed not to see her and ignored her.
"Damn it, I make you so proud. If this bitch comes across me, I will trample her under my feet." Qin Lin'er thought coldly in her heart.
On the other side, Ji Ling looked at Ye Guchen with interest, curling his hair on the temples with one jade finger.
"This Ye Guchen is mysterious in every aspect. He was able to make Mu Xingzhu improve so quickly in just half a month. It seems that I need to tell Shuang'er later. Although Ye Guchen's true energy has been destroyed, he still can't do it."
It's definitely not a thing in the pool." Ji Ling's beautiful eyes were filled with an indescribable luster.
Many disciples from the outer courtyard and even the inner courtyard are paying attention to the battle situation, waiting for the top ten candidates from the outer courtyard to be selected.
In the twenty-to-ten duel, Qin Liner finally got her wish and faced off against Mu Xingzhu.
As the two slowly stepped onto the ring, the already heated atmosphere reached a peak.
Even some elders and deacons who were not interested in it all cast their eyes with interest.
What they were interested in was naturally not the competition between Qin Lin'er and Mu Xingzhu. This type of Qi Refining Realm competition was unattractive to them.
What they were interested in was the bet between Ye Guchen and Qin Liner.
Qin Lin'er, who was standing on the ring, did not look at Mu Xingzhu, as if she was ignoring him. She turned to look at Ye Guchen, with a faint smile on her lips and said: "Ye Guchen, the bet of that day.
, do you still remember?"
"Of course I remember, so prepare for the thunder from heaven and earth!" Ye Guchen said in an indifferent tone with his hands behind his back.
When Qin Lin'er heard this, she snorted coldly and looked unhappy.
In the bet, in addition to the thunder of heaven and earth, she was willing to be Ye Guchen's maid, but it was obvious that Ye Guchen had no interest in her at all. All he cared about was the thunder of heaven and earth.
"Ye Guchen, I will return your words intact and have your purple gold token ready." Qin Lin'er responded tit-for-tat, her beautiful eyes showing a playful look, and she said in a strange way again: "I know what you rely on, it's nothing more than your friendship.
The magic weapon is for this bitch, but I, Qin Liner, also have the magic weapon!"
But when Qin Lin'er raised her hand, a long sword with a sharp edge fell into her hand.
This sword shone with cold light, the hilt was like a silver carving, and there seemed to be a silver dragon entrenched on the sword body.
As the sword edge quivered, it suddenly seemed like a dragon roaring.
"That's... Senior Brother Wang Xiaotian's Dragon Song Sword!" The eyes of many inner court disciples were shocked.
