The white horse has passed by, and a month has passed quickly like the flowing clouds in the sky.
During this month, besides Su Xing, a woman could be seen on Xiaozhu Peak from time to time.
The woman who calls herself Liu Yuexi's junior sister would visit Xiaozhu Peak every two or three days in the evening before dinner and appear in front of Su Xing's Bamboo House on time.
At this time, Su Xing was also punctual. As soon as the girl in front of the door put her hand on the door, he would walk out of the house with a pot of food.
After a period of interaction, Su Xing gradually became familiar with Liu Yuexi's junior sister, and finally learned her name at the end of the month.
Mia, surname Mia.
Both the surname and the given name are very rare.
However, the relationship between Su Xing and Mia only stopped at the exchange of names.
No matter how many delicious meals Su Xing cooked for her and Liu Yuexi, Mia would always show disdain in front of Su Xing every time she came to Xiaozhu Peak.
Su Xing was not a stupid person. He probably guessed that Mia might have come from a famous noble family in Linzhou. She had been pampered since she was a child and came to practice in Wanjian Sect early. Therefore, she was biased against these outer disciples.
But he didn't care about Mia's attitude. During this period, the most common thing the two of them said was that Su Xing asked Liu Yuexi if she was satisfied with the last meal.
In this way, a month passed quickly amidst the sounds of sword swings that echoed every day in Xiaozhufeng Mountain and the smoke rising on time in the evening.
One morning, in front of the open space of Xiaozhufeng Bamboo House.
The morning dew fell on the green lawn, and the rays of the rising sun bathed the young man who was dancing his sword in the open space.
Su Xing held the nameless rusty sword tightly in his hand, with sharp eyes and tense muscles, waving it in the refreshing air.
Streaming sword shadows trembled in the air, and every trembling of the sword blade slightly tore every particle in the air.
In an instant, six sword lights flashed.
A gap suddenly appeared in the land in front of Su Xing. Then, the tiny gap formed a huge circular pit in the blink of an eye, and countless quicksand flowed towards the center of the pit.
"Stab it."
Su Xing took back his spiritual sword and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In a month, Su Xing relied on the help of Yang Gathering Pill and auxiliary herbs to not only break through to the Huayuan Realm, but also successfully train the Chaoyang Body to the third level of "Fire Sun".
The position of the sun on the horizon told him the current time, and he returned to the house to tidy up. After everything was ready, a clear whistle suddenly echoed in the mountains of Xiaozhu Peak.
After a moment, a white shadow in the sky slowly flew down from the top of the clouds, and finally landed smoothly in front of Su Xing.
…
If you ask, what is the most grand event of the year in Wanjian Sect?
The answer is naturally the college examination at the end of the year.
The second biggest event?
That leaves only the demon-slaying event held in the middle of the year.
Before this second most important event, there is a very eye-catching and extremely popular selection competition within each Taoist temple.
Typically, people refer to tryouts as a battle for spots.
The reason why I say this is because the candidates for each Taoist academy to participate in the demon-slaying event will be selected in the competition for this quota.
The contestants of the Demon Slaying Festival are not only the representatives of each Taoist school, but also the hope of all the disciples.
As long as your Taoist school can achieve a good ranking in the demon-slaying event, the disciples of the Taoist school will be able to enjoy quite generous rewards throughout the next year.
The individual rewards for the contestants are naturally very generous.
The winner can not only choose the best secret book in the Wanjian Sect's Kung Fu Pavilion, but also go to the Baibao Hall to receive the sect's rewards for free.
In addition to these material rewards, reputation is another reward for the winner.
The title of first place in the Demon Slaying Festival is a very famous name not only in the Three Great Courtyards, but also among the three main peaks.
Therefore, one can imagine how fierce the competition for quotas within each Taoist academy is.
Just like this, Su Xing had just arrived at Yuyang Peak, and his eyes were filled with the figures of his fellow disciples.
At this time on weekdays, the open space in Yuyang Peak's square is usually sparsely populated, and most people show up in a hurry at the last minute before class.
Now, it is not an exaggeration to describe the scene in the square as a huge crowd.
Su Xing jumped off the white crane, originally thinking of passing through the crowd.
But when these noisy people saw the appearance of this disciple who was walking with difficulty, they all took two steps back in unison, making way for Su Xing to open an extremely wide path.
"Well……"
This kind of scene not only surprised Su Xing, but also made him feel embarrassed.
After all, what could be more embarrassing than being watched by hundreds or thousands of people at once?
Although No. 49 on the Earth Ranking is at the bottom of the list, he is still respected by most disciples in Yuyang Taoist Academy.
Seeing such a scene for the first time, he cupped his hands to the disciples on both sides, and then quickly passed through this road without any hesitation.
After walking through the crowd, Su Xing came to the front of the open space in the square - the waiting area for the competition for quotas.
When he arrived here, there were already many people standing in the waiting area.
Su Xing looked around and estimated that there were at least seventeen or eighteen disciples here. Jiang De was also holding his sword and sitting in the shed on the other side.
"It seems that it is not an easy task to participate in the demon-slaying event."
Just as Su Xing was quietly blending into the crowd and making a judgment, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Zhou Qinghan and Li Feiyao were standing on the other side of the waiting area at this time. The two people who were communicating obviously did not see Su Xing's appearance.
"Senior Sister Zhou..."
Su Xing, who was looking at Zhou Qinghan from a distance, suddenly frowned.
Under the detection of his spiritual consciousness, although the aura on Zhou Qinghan's body was stronger than before, it did not give Su Xing a feeling of transformation.
"Breakthrough failed?"
Su Xing could only think of this explanation.
For warriors in the Huayuan realm, every breakthrough not only requires a strong foundation and abundant vitality, but also requires constant vigilance on the stability of one's Taoist heart to prevent the emergence of inner demons.
Of course, at the expense of this kind of difficulty in making a breakthrough, the rewards after a successful breakthrough are naturally very generous.
After the breakthrough, not only the energy reserves in the body will reach a higher level, but also the attributes in the energy will be better mastered.
And looking at the current situation, Zhou Qinghan probably failed to break through.
"But it seems that Senior Sister Zhou has not been disturbed by her inner demons. She is probably just too impatient and her foundation is not strong enough to support her breakthrough."
Seeing Zhou Qinghan's expression as peaceful as ever in the distance, Su Xing felt relieved.
If Zhou Qinghan really failed to break through because of inner demons, he probably wouldn't be here now.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the open space in front of everyone.
"Quiet."
This sudden sound was like a cold wind coming from the ancient ice nest, freezing everything it passed into ice cubes, making the originally chaotic people quiet down.
Immediately afterwards, a graceful and luxuriously dressed figure slowly descended from the sky.
Carrying Jiang Lingyan was a blue crane that was completely blue. Different from the ordinary white crane, this blue crane was much larger.
Su Xing believed that the back of this blue crane could fit even the long case of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Following the cry of the blue crane, Jiang Lingyan stepped off the crane's back with gentle steps and came to the front of the crowd.
At this time, Du Jia also walked to her side.
"Today is the selection competition for my Yuyang Taoist Temple's Demon-Slaying Festival. The disciples who have signed up to participate in the Demon-Slaying Festival are all the best among the people in our Taoist Institute. No matter what the final result is, the disciples standing behind me
, should be respected by everyone.”
Jiang Lingyan's tone was cold, like a stream flowing from the mountains, flowing through everyone's heart.
"I won't say too much nonsense. For things like quotas, the sooner you are selected, the better. Du Jia."
"exist."
"Get ready to start."
Then, Jiang Lingyan continued to walk, turned and walked towards the high platform not far away.
While walking, she turned her eyes and looked at the disciples in the waiting area.
The dark and deep pupils stayed on Zhou Qinghan and Li Feiyao for a moment, and then fell on Su Xing.
Suddenly, a pressure like a thousand mountains fell on Su Xing's shoulders.
