Early in the morning at the end of the year, there is a martial arts field.

Lu Yu saw so many Hehuan Sect disciples for the first time.

On the huge martial arts stage, all the disciples in the Qi Refining stage were present, from beginners to great perfectionists. No one was left behind. At this time, there were more than a thousand people on the stage, but no one dared to talk to each other. They all looked at a thin old man in front of the stage.

.

Lu Yu randomly found an empty spot and stood, and it didn't take long before he spotted a familiar figure.

Lan Ling was standing a few places in front of him. Her beautiful back made him feel very peaceful. He was just about to walk up to say hello when he suddenly heard a weak "Senior Brother Lu..." coming from behind him.

He stopped and looked back, seeing that it was Tang Wan.

"Junior Sister Tang, long time no see." Tang Wan was wearing a short cyan skirt today, with a white bow tied on the long skirt. She felt like Xiao Jia Biyu.

"Well...Senior Brother Lu...Thank you very much." After saying this, she got into the crowd and left Lu Yu there.

"Strange...what's wrong with this girl..." Lu Yu couldn't figure it out and could only turn around and wait for arrangements.

After all the silence on the field, the old man finally spoke.

"I, Qin Wu of the Punishment Hall, will be responsible for the order of the year-end competition as in previous years." The old man slowly glanced at the audience, and a huge amount of spiritual pressure suddenly hit, immediately making everyone's chest feel tight.

"Let me first talk about the rules of the competition."

"The competition is to test the progress of your disciples' skills over the past year. It is not a life-and-death fight, so don't make a fatal move. However, magic has no eyesight. If any disciple fails to learn well and dies miserably on the field, I will

There is nothing we can do.”

Lu Yu's pupils shrank.

Listening to this meaning, doesn't it imply that everyone can kill the opponent?

"As expected of the Demon Sect, the trial tasks will cost the lives of the disciples, and the year-end competition will also cost the lives of the disciples. I don't know if the Furnace Conference after that year will cost people's lives." Lu Yu felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

There was no commotion in the audience, it seemed that everyone was used to this unspoken rule.

The old man continued: "The rules of the competition are very simple. Each disciple has his own number. Disciples with one to three levels are one group, four to six levels are two groups, seven to nine levels are three groups.

The disciple who has called the number can choose a member of the group to fight against each other until one party admits defeat. The venue is within the martial arts stage, one-on-one. During the competition, you can use spiritual weapons, talismans, and mechanisms.

Hidden weapons, you can use whatever you have on you. As long as you perform well, you can get rewards from the Punishment Hall. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" one of the disciples replied.

"Now, let's start grouping." The old man on the stage waved his sleeves, and several spiritual characters appeared in the air on the left side of the martial arts stage: Junior Disciple.

In the middle is an intermediate disciple, and on the right is a senior disciple. Although Lu Yu has not registered to be promoted to an intermediate disciple, his cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, so he can only stand in the middle.

"Junior brother." Xia Qian'er was in the same group as him. At this time, she came over and stood beside him, reminding him: "You have to be careful in a moment. If something unexpected happens, you must admit defeat directly. There are so many people here that he dare not put him down."

How are you doing?"

Lu Yu felt warm in his heart and said, "Senior sister, don't worry. I'll be fine."

He was about to say something more when he suddenly felt a fierce gaze coming from not far away. He turned around and saw, sure enough, it was Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was standing not far away from him, and he was also in the intermediate group. At this time, he was staring at Lu Yu, and the hatred in his eyes was obvious.

Xia Qian'er pulled Lu Yu over and asked worriedly: "Junior brother, are you really sure?"

"No." Who can guarantee a sure victory in a duel with a monk who is two levels higher than himself? But he still had to pretend to be indifferent, "However, I have many ways to try. Trust me. "

He took her hand and shook it gently.

.......

"No. 1 of the junior group, Shen Lu, choose your opponent." The old man announced loudly.

"I choose Tang Wan." A female disciple in a yellow shirt walked out of the team. She pointed at Tang Wan and said without hesitation, "Junior Sister Tang, come out."

When Lu Yu heard this, he frowned. The first game was actually Tang Wan's game, which forced him to pay attention.

I saw Tang Wan walking to the stage with a pale face, and the other disciples all stepped down to clear the entire venue, and the two of them stood up and faced each other.

"Junior sister Tang, you don't have to pretend to be pitiful all day long. I've long been unhappy with you. If you have the time to seduce senior brother, you might as well practice more and avoid being bullied by me. Hahahaha——" The female disciple in yellow shirt pointed her finger. He pinched the spell and looked at the old man.

Qin Wu nodded expressionlessly, indicating that the first competition could begin, with Shen Lu taking the lead. "Breaking Dao 9: Fire Shield Technique!"

The fire spirit power condensed in front of her, forming a small lava shield. She stepped away and leaned towards Tang Wan, and the small shield also rushed away.

Now that he had broken his heart, Tang Wan no longer hesitated, "Broken Path Thirteen Earth Spring." The aqua blue spiritual power suddenly entangled together, and the ground in front of Shen Lu suddenly exploded, and a torrent rushed into the sky. , directly extinguishing her fire shield.

"You!" Before Shen Lu could react, Tang Wan had already prepared the spell again, "Breaking Dao Seven Moon Blades!"

After the trial with Lu Yu, Tang Wan changed a lot. She no longer wanted to hold others back, so she returned to the sect and practiced hard during this period. She was about to reach the fourth level of Qi refining. She wanted to become stronger. .

Whoosh!

The light green half-arc was like an arrow leaving the string. Shen Lu jumped to the side in shock, and the moon blade narrowly missed her, causing cold sweat to break out on her body.

but.

A talisman was placed on her shoulder, which made her feel cold.

Tang Wan was already standing in front of her, pressing the triggering side of the flame talisman in his hand on her shoulder. If he used it, she would definitely die.

"I surrender."

"In the first round, Tang Wan wins." Qin Wu announced loudly, "After the competition, you can go to the Punishment Hall to receive the victory reward."

Tang Wan nodded, took back the talisman, and walked down the martial arts stage. She only wanted one person to see it.

The next breath, she finally came into contact with Lu Yu's surprised gaze. The two looked at each other, and she shyly slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

"Junior brother, why is she so shy when you take one look at her?" Xia Qian'er caught this hidden scene and asked suspiciously.

"Woo!" Xiao Cang also jumped out of him, sat on Xia Qian'er's shoulder, and stared at Lu Yu strangely.

"Uh...I don't know..."

The atmosphere was so awkward that Lu Yu didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, the old man's voice came at the right time: "Second game, Intermediate Group No. 1, Lan Ling, choose your opponent."

Lan Ling walked out of the crowd gracefully and said softly: "Xia Qian'er, come out."

"This..." Lu Yu was stunned, "How could this happen..."

"Humph, I can't wait any longer!" Xia Qian'er walked onto the martial arts stage, her fighting spirit suddenly rising.

On one side was the gentle and considerate Senior Sister Lan Ling, and on the other was Xia Qian'er, who was very considerate to him. Lu Yu felt that his head was a bit big.

"Be sure not to get hurt..."
