Because Liu Pan admitted defeat, the competition for new disciples was immediately concluded. The final ranking was confirmed to be Ye Ming in first place, Liu Kuang in second place, and Liu Pan in third place.
All three of them have the opportunity to enter the sect's Kung Fu Building and choose a Kung Fu for free. As for the first place, there is an additional reward, which is an obstacle-breaking pill, which can help monks who have reached the ninth level of the warrior to break through.
The elixir of the warrior realm.
For Liu Kuang, the Barrier-Breaking Pill is completely dispensable. With Yan guiding his training, it is not difficult for him to break through to the martial arts realm.
In Liu Pan's book, Liu Kuang won first place in the competition for new disciples, but he did not take the elixir. Instead, he broke through to the martial arts realm under Yan's guidance.
As for Liu Pan, he looked down upon the barrier-breaking pill at all. After all, as a body of extreme cold, if he had to rely on pills to break through even the ninth level of a warrior, then he would not need to practice martial arts at all.
As soon as the competition for new disciples was announced to be over, a sturdy middle-aged man in his thirties who was sitting on the left side of Yang Jiangshui in the stands stood up.
"Everyone," the middle-aged man's voice was like thunder, suppressing all the voices in the square almost instantly. And of course, this voice also attracted the attention of everyone in the square at the same time.
After scanning around the square, he saw that almost everyone in the square was paying attention. The middle-aged man paused for a moment, and then continued: "The competition for new entry disciples has ended. Now, all outer disciples are going to start a new competition."
Pai Shan.”
Arrange the mountain again? The new disciples were all stunned when they heard this, while the eyes of the old disciples shone slightly.
Without explaining anything, the middle-aged man sat directly back at his desk after finishing speaking, then picked up a list from the stone table in front of him and handed it to a young disciple behind him.
The young disciple respectfully glanced at the list of results, then took two steps forward and read directly:
"Based on the comprehensive evaluation of the competition results of the new entry disciples and the competition results of the old disciples half a month ago, the top ranking of the outer disciples and the list are as follows."
"First, the male disciples. List of disciples living on Peak Nine, Ye Ming, Zhao Chang, Liu Kuang, Liu Pan, Jackal... a total of twenty people."
"List of disciples living on Peak 10, Zhao Fei, Yang Zijiang, Li Dan...forty people in total."
"List of disciples living on Peak 11... a total of seventy people."
"The list of disciples living on Peak No. 12...a total of one hundred and two people."
"The list of disciples living on Peak 13...a total of one hundred and sixty people."
"The list of disciples living on Peak 14... a total of twenty-three people."
"The remaining male disciples whose names have not been read are all those who have reached the martial arts realm. They live on Peak No. 8. The list of disciples is... a total of sixteen people."
"Female disciples. List of disciples living on Peak Six... a total of thirty-four people."
"The list of disciples living on Peak No. 7... a total of seventy-three people."
"The list has been read out." After the young disciple finished speaking, he placed his hands on the table with the list, then bowed to the sect leader and several elders before retreating.
As the young man finished reading, the entire square was boiling in an instant. Or, it should be said that only the new disciples were boiling, while the old disciples remained silent.
"What's going on? What's going on in this row of mountains?"
"You ask me how I know? Oh my god! I was actually ranked on Peak 13, with 160 people. How can I live here? There are not enough houses..."
"You're so confused! The labor force has been moved to Peak 14, more than 300 people! Not to mention the house, there isn't even enough room to sleep under the roof..."
"I protest, why am I, an eighth-level warrior, assigned to Peak 14..."
"I also protest..."
…………
The entire square was plunged into a commotion. Many disciples complained, many protested...
"Quiet!"
Just when many disciples were making a lot of noise, a sound of thunder rang out, and at the same time, an invisible pressure came down from the stands.
In an instant, many disciples fell silent, and there was no more noise in the entire square.
The burly man stood up, glanced at the silent crowd in the square, and then said: "The list is based on your performance in the entry competition. Some people think this list is unfair and ask why my cultivation level is higher.
But it is ranked on the 12th and 13th peaks. Then I will tell you now, the list of this mountain is only based on your performance in the competition, and has nothing to do with your level of cultivation!"
All the new disciples were silent when they heard the words. However, the silence was only for a moment. There will always be some who are "not afraid of death".
"I protest!"
The sudden sound made everyone startled, and then everyone turned to look at the person who made the sound with a look of disbelief.
This is a man in brocade clothes with a fair face. Even though the pressure coming from the high platform has made his legs tremble and his forehead is sweating, you can still see a sense of arrogance between his brows. Come to think of it, this
A man must live his life with his eyes on the top of his head.
As if he didn't expect that someone would dare to protest under his pressure, the sturdy man frowned and looked over curiously. However, in just an instant, the curiosity in his eyes disappeared without a trace.
Finally, he said calmly: "Tell me, what is your name? Which peak was you assigned to? What are you protesting about?"
"Back to the elder, my disciple is named Zhao Fei, and he was assigned to Peak No. 10. What I'm protesting is that Liu Pan was assigned to Peak No. 9!" Zhao Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The elder said before that he was assigned to Peak No. 9.
We were ranked based on our performance in the beginner disciple competition.
For other disciples, the disciples have no objection, but for Liu Pan, although he won the third place in this competition, he directly gave up in the last two competitions. This completely goes against the indomitable spirit of martial arts. What else does he have?
Qualified to enter Peak Nine!"
As soon as Zhao Fei said this, there was a lot of discussion in the square. But this time, not only the new disciples, but also many old disciples lowered their heads and started talking. Apparently they also felt that Liu Pan was ranked among the ninth.
The horn is a bit unreasonable.
However, the burly man didn't seem to take Zhao Fei's objections to heart at all. He lowered his head and looked at the roster on the table. The burly man frowned slightly and understood why others didn't rank Liu Pan as No. 9.
Feng protested, but Zhao Fei was the only one to protest.
The protest naturally had a purpose. After all, no one would offend someone without any reason, let alone someone like Liu Pan, who was among the top three new disciples.
As for Zhao Fei, the reason why he protested may be that on the surface he really felt that Liu Pan's inclusion in Peak No. 9 was a bit unreasonable. But in fact, the reason why Zhao Fei protested was that he expressed his displeasure with his inclusion in Peak No. 10.
Not satisfied.
On the list, Zhao Fei is the first person to be ranked on Peak 10. Once Liu Pan, a "person who violates the indomitable spirit of martial arts", is expelled from Peak 9, it is very likely that he will
He was assigned to Peak No. 9. And this was the real reason why Zhao Fei protested.
"For your protest, I can explain it to you." The strong man looked at Zhao Fei, and then said: "However, before I explain, I have to remind you. Just now, your name has changed from Peak 9
We paddled to Peak No. 14."
The strong man's voice was very calm. However, after understanding the meaning of the words, Zhao Fei's face instantly turned pale. His whole body was suddenly unable to withstand the pressure coming from the high platform, and he sat down.
On the ground.
As for the others, when they heard that Zhao Fei just protested and was directly transferred to Peak No. 14, his whole body tensed up and he didn't dare to say a word.
Ignoring Zhao Fei, the burly man raised his eyes and glanced around, and then said: "I know many of you are wondering why Liu Pan was ranked on the ninth peak. Now, I will tell you."
"What is martial arts?" The burly man asked inexplicably.
However, there was no answer and everyone remained silent.
"I believe that all of you know that martial arts means moving forward in an indomitable way. However..." The strong man said this, paused for a moment, then raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, and then continued: "You all know that martial arts means moving forward in an indomitable way.
But who among you really understands what martial arts is?"
"..."
No one said anything, and many people even felt a little confused at this moment. Isn’t martial arts just about moving forward? It’s just a sentence, what else do you need to understand?
"Martial arts is about moving forward, but moving forward should not be blind." The strong man glanced at Liu Pan, and then looked at everyone: "As for Liu Pan, why did he admit defeat in the last two competitions?
Can he still be ranked into Peak No. 9? That’s because... he knows what martial arts is better than any of you!"
As soon as these words came out, many people were stunned and looked up in Liu Pan's direction. Even Zhao Fei, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned and looked at Liu Pan's position.
The coercion emanating from the stands is still there, but at this moment, it seems that many people can't feel it anymore. They just stare at Liu Pan blankly, and even their bodies have forgotten to tremble.
Seeing the reactions of the disciples in the square, the burly man was not surprised. A faint sparkle suddenly flashed deep in his eyes: "You think he gave in in the last two competitions because he was afraid, and also because he felt
Isn’t my strength enough?”
"Perhaps some of you really think so, but let me tell you the truth! The reason why he gave up was not because he was afraid, nor because he felt that his strength was not enough, but because his purpose was just to enter the competition.
The top three, that’s all.”
"Martial arts should move forward without hesitation, but it should also have a purpose and direction! And Liu Pan, the moment he gave in, he already showed that he understands martial arts better than any of you!"
"This conclusion was reached by the joint judgment of the sect master and all our elders..."
