After announcing the results of the battle, Su Xing walked down from the competition stage. The looks from both sides showed respect, timidity and resentment.
Those resentful looks naturally came from the disciples of the same academy as Feng Yuan, but even though these people wanted to avenge Feng Yuan, after seeing Su Xing's performance, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to fart and only dared to surrender.
Get rid of the evil looks.
On the other side, Li Feiyao saw Su Xing slowly walking towards her, as if his body was emitting a dazzling light.
This young man who was brought into the school by her and Zhou Qinghan has made an unexpected leap in cultivation and strength in just a few months, and has even been listed on something called the Earth Ranking.
"Su Xing, this time you are the third disciple in our Taoist academy!"
She excitedly waved her fist at Su Xing, not hiding the joy in her tone.
Su Xing smiled modestly and waved his hand to show that he didn't dare to take it.
Afterwards, the two left together in the envious eyes of everyone.
Walking on the mountain path of Luyan Peak, Li Feiyao and Su Xing chatted.
"I didn't expect that you had only started for four months and that you had already mastered the realm of combining man and sword."
In his words, Li Feiyao made no secret of his praise for Su Xing.
As a disciple who entered the sect to practice one year earlier than Su Xing, she had barely touched the threshold of the unity of man and sword until now, so she naturally admired him.
"Thank you, I was able to realize the unity of man and sword so quickly because I got help from many noble people."
"By the way, why don't you see the shadow of Senior Sister Zhou?"
Su Xing remembered that Zhou Qinghan and Li Feiyao always appeared together, but this time Zhou Qinghan was not seen, so he asked.
Li Feiyao looked sideways at Su Xing, who was half a head taller than him, and said, "Senior Sister Zhou has been in seclusion for more than four days and is making final preparations to reach the perfection of Huayuan Realm."
The Huayuan realm is complete?
Hearing these words, Su Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He immediately asked Li Feiyao about Zhou Qinghan's ranking on the list before retreating, and the answer he received was "twenty-one".
This answer was beyond Su Xing's expectation. He clearly remembered that when he first joined the sect, Zhou Qinghan told him that she was ranked thirteenth on the earth rankings.
In just four months, she unexpectedly fell to the 21st position.
"A month ago, a senior fellow from Shenji Taoist Academy came to challenge Senior Sister Zhou. That senior fellow was young, but he had already reached the perfect state of Huayuan Realm. Senior Sister knew that she was no match for him, so she surrendered without a fight.
The ranking was voluntarily given to the other party."
"What's that person's name?"
"Qin Zimo, it is said that he was a disciple who started last year."
Qin Zimo and Su Xing secretly repeated.
He is probably another practitioner with outstanding talent.
There are still more than half a year left before the academy examination at the end of the year. At this time, he has reached the perfect level of Huayuan Realm. He must be among the top ten in the academy examination.
Regarding the annual Taoist competition, there is an unwritten rule in the three Taoist academies, that is, the realm of the disciples participating must be lower than the Immortal realm.
In other words, the highest level of the disciples who participate in the academy examination is only the perfection of Huayuan Realm.
This also leads to another phenomenon, that is, at the end of each year, most of the disciples ranked on the Earth Ranking are in the perfect state of Huayuan Realm.
The academy examinations often compare not the level of realm, but the strength of combat effectiveness.
Most of the disciples who reach the final level are usually at the same level. They rely on their outstanding skills and practical experience to resist and defeat their opponents to advance.
This election system not only ensures the martial arts attainments of the disciples who enter the three main peaks, but also does not interfere too much with their spiritual practice.
"Speaking of which, our Taoist Academy will soon start selecting candidates to participate in the demon-slaying event." Li Feiyao clapped her hands as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Choose?" Su Xing was slightly startled.
"Oh, yes. Su Xing, you have been isolated from the world for too long. I guess no one can give you the specific details about the demon-slaying event, right?"
"I understand the general rules, such as points, but I don't know much about what you said about selecting candidates."
Seeing Su Xing shaking his head blankly, Li Feiyao smiled and said:
"Okay, since you took action to protect me, I will reluctantly explain it to you."
"The three Taoist academies participating in the demon-slaying event will each send four disciples to participate."
"The participating disciples adopt the system of one old leading three new ones. The old ones are the disciples who have been in the Taoist academy for at least two years, and the new ones are the disciples who have been in the Taoist academy for one year."
"Generally speaking, when there is still one month left before the demon slaying event, the three major temples start to select new disciples from each temple who are suitable for the competition."
"As for the veteran demon slayer, it is usually decided by the lecturers of each Taoist academy. If there are no special objections, no other changes will be made."
"The veteran leader of our Taoist team this time is, not surprisingly, Lynch. This is the second consecutive year he has led the team. Moreover, Lynch is now ranked fourteenth on the local rankings. Compared with this time last year,
It seems that he has a better chance of entering the top ten in the college examination this year."
When Lin Qi's name was mentioned, Li Feiyao's tone clearly contained a hint of dissatisfaction.
Su Xing nodded. Although he and Lin Qi had a sworn grudge, Lin Qi, as the strongest combat force in Yuyang Taoist Temple, could not argue with this fact.
He didn't dwell on the topic of Lynch and asked, "What about the internal elections in the Taoist Academy?"
Li Feiyao replied: "The election within the Taoist Academy is used to select the three novices who will participate in the demon-slaying event."
"As we all know, the ranking of the three Taoist temples at the Demon Slaying Festival affects the amount of resources distributed by the three main peaks to each Taoist temple. Just like the Shenji Taoist Temple, the sect will pay for their expenditure on purchasing elixirs and herbs this year.
They waived most of it. That's a lot of money."
"This is why the Taoist Academy needs to select the strongest candidates."
When Li Feiyao explained the matter clearly, the two of them had walked to Wanjian Square unknowingly.
"Now that you have restored your status as a disciple, you are naturally qualified to participate in the demon-slaying event. In a few days, Mr. Du Jia will probably ask you in class if you want to sign up. If you decide to participate, remember to tell Mr. Du
.”
The girl's tone was unusually patient. She explained all the matters that needed attention to Su Xing and solved his troubles.
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few greetings and parted ways.
…
Back at Xiaozhu Peak, Su Xing sat on the empty grass in front of the newly built bamboo house after eating.
"There are still about two weeks until Senior Sister Liu is released from seclusion. I wonder if she has succeeded in breaking through."
Liu Yuexi's beautiful image flashed in his mind, and Su Xing laughed to himself.
For a moment, two villains, one black and one white, appeared in Su Xing's mind.
The little white man raised his head and crossed his chest with a look of disdain: "Su Xing, Su Xing, as a martial arts cultivator, what are you thinking about in your head every day!"
The little black figure disagreed, frowned and shrugged: "Nonsense, Senior Sister Liu is an amazing swordsman, I'm just greedy for her kung fu!"
Su Xing quickly shook his head, not daring to think too much. He sat cross-legged and soon entered a state of trance.
The energy from heaven and earth surged towards Su Xing as the movement swallowed up the art of creation.
Within the Dantian, the white vortex that was as small as a bean a few months ago is now as big as an egg.
Wisps of white Gang Qi flew out from the vortex and flowed along the meridians to the surface of Su Xing's skin, forming a looming white transparent film.
At the same time, a wisp of refreshing gas immediately surrounded Su Xing's heart, wiping away the black stains like stains in his heart.
After observing the changes inside his body, Su Xing slowly opened his eyes after a moment.
"The Qingxin Jue has been cultivated to perfection. Unless someone deliberately interferes, with the current stability of the Taoist heart, it will not easily slip into the devil."
He immediately looked at the film on his hand and said, "Zhengyang has also reached the ninth level of cultivation, and is very close to the third level of the Chaoyang Body, the 'Fire Sun'."
"Once you reach the scorching sun, your physical body will not be damaged at all even if it is burned by real fire. And the Gang Qi in your body can transform into another form."
"only……"
Su Xing clicked his tongue softly.
"It's just that the yang in the body is now strong and the yin is declining. If we don't find a yin attribute to practice, I'm afraid this unbalanced state will also have an impact on future practice."
In this way, Su Xing has already begun to mentally calculate how to obtain more sect contribution points in exchange for new techniques.
