Chapter 21 True Self Mirror 【Seek support during the ranking period】
The next day, the outer door competition was still in full swing.
However, this time, all the outer disciples were notified that the third assessment was not conducted at the school site.
They arrived at the school ground early in the morning and were notified that today's competition was not on the school ground, but they were all waiting for further notice at the school ground.
"What's going on? Not comparing at school? Where do we want to compete?"
There were only one hundred outer disciples who had passed the two rounds, and their whispering sounds were particularly obvious at this time.
"I heard that this sect attaches great importance to our competition, and this round is also an extra round."
Some outer disciples who knew the situation began to explain to those who were familiar with each other in a low voice.
However, in comparison, more people were worried and uneasy on their faces. After all, this outer door competition was obviously different from previous years. The information they received from their family could no longer help them, and they could only rely on themselves for everything they would do next.
This kind of fear of the unknown is something that everyone will have.
"Hey, Bai Yang!"
At this moment, Bai Yang heard a crisp sound calling him.
He looked over and found Xia Yueqiao standing there happily, waving his hand: "This is here! I'm here!"
Xia Yue trotted over, her face flushed and she looked very happy: "I knew you would definitely pass the first two rounds of competition, how about it? Do you have confidence in the third round?"
Bai Yang smiled a little. Xia Yue's lively mood really infected others. He said slowly: "I don't know the content of the competition yet, so I can't draw a conclusion."
Xia Yue shrugged with a smile and said, "No matter what competition it is, you must win. I have confidence in you." As she said that, she waved her hand again and crawled into the crowd and disappeared.
Bai Yang curled his lips helplessly for her style of thinking about coming and going, but there was a hint of warmth in her heart.
Xia Yue was cheering herself up in her way. Although it was a little special, Bai Yang could still feel the kindness in it.
"Junior Brother Bai, it's such a coincidence." Just when Bai Yang's heart was still lingering with a faint warmth, an extremely annoying gentle voice sounded, making Bai Yang frown and turn his head away.
Murong Zhen walked slowly, with a calm smile on his face that he didn't care about anything, looking extremely young and mature.
He stared at Bai Yang and said, "Now I want to congratulate Junior Brother Bai on his safe and sound passing through the first two rounds of competition. This time, I am afraid that there will be a place for Junior Brother Bai in the top ten of the outer gates."
Bai Yang stared at Murong Zhen, and after a moment, he said, "You enjoy this feeling, are you?"
"Hmm?" Murong Zhen seemed to have not reacted and still maintained his demeanor: "I don't know what Junior Brother Bai is referring to."
Bai Yang smiled softly, grinned, and said, "I'm afraid you never take it seriously by your disciples like me."
"Junior Brother Bai, where do you start?" Murong Zhen smiled and could not see any anger, but his slightly narrowed eyes had murderous intent.
Bai Yang shook his head and said lightly: "Nothing says now is meaningless, but some things have to be paid if you do them. You are the proud son of heaven. I am just an ordinary person struggling on the road of cultivation. I just hope that you can still maintain this proud look when I appear in front of you next time."
"Murrong Zhen, don't forget that your pride comes from your family." Bai Yang slowly missed Murong Zhen and said calmly: "When the family behind you can no longer protect you, go and repent to the person you regard as weak ant."
Murong Zhen's heart trembled and stared at Bai Yang's back in surprise. Then, a madness surged on his face and said coldly: "Bai Yang, there are only a few days when you can be stubborn. I will let you fall completely into the dust when you are most proud!"
"cough."
At this time, a thin old man in gray robe appeared on the high platform of the school grounds. He cleared his throat, looked at the 100 outer disciples in the field, and said slowly: "I will host the third round of competition today. You should all be heard. This competition is not in the school grounds, and the content of the competition is not as simple as you imagined. It is just as simple as making you show up."
This old man in gray robe is Lu Chao, the elder of Jiange who is responsible for presiding over today's third round of competition.
As soon as he waved his sleeves, two inner disciples came up and raised a huge mirror that was so tall that it was several people.
There is no scene in this mirror, and the surface is rippling like water waves. Lu Chao glanced at the big mirror and smiled slightly. There was also a hint of nostalgia in his hoarse voice: "This is called the [Real Self Mirror], which can reflect the other side of your heart. There is a space hidden in it, allowing you to fight the illusioned self. I think you should have heard a saying that practice is continuous self-breakthrough, and when practicing to a truly profound state, you must kill the inner demon and make yourself truly firm and fearless, so that you can achieve the right path. This [Real Self Mirror] can allow you to feel the inner demon in advance. Only by defeating yourself can you overcome everything."
"And if you don't pass the trial of the [Real Self Mirror], then there is no need for the last round of [Fantasy Moon Demon Realm] competition." Lu Chao's eyes suddenly became cold and he glanced at the outer disciples with nervous faces. "Because in [Fantasy Moon Demon Realm], you not only have to face your fellow disciples, but also all kinds of demons that disrupt people's hearts. This [Fantasy Moon Demon Realm] was originally a treasure of the Demon Sect. It was the spoils obtained by our predecessors of the Xuanjian Sect after fighting with those people in the Demonic Way. Now it has become a level of assessment that our disciples of the sect must go through! Originally, those who are qualified to enter the [Fantasy Moon Demon Realm] must be inner disciples, but this time you have many geniuses in the outer sect, and the sect decided to give you appropriate training, so they took the [Fantasy Moon Demon Realm] as the last competition."
"If your mind is not firm, you will lose yourself in the [Phantom Moon Demon Realm] and become a walking zombie driven by demons. Invasion of the inner demons will lose your true self. However, every time you win, you will receive a lot of rewards, which is naturally a later story. What you are going to challenge now is the self hidden in the [Real Self Mirror]. If you cannot pass, then everything will be empty talk afterwards!" Lu Chao waved his sleeves and said lightly: "Enter the [Real Self Mirror] one by one, you will be teleported to the space in it and challenge yourself."
It was not until this time that everyone understood what it meant that this competition would not be held on the school ground.
Looking at the huge mirror, the outer disciples present were somewhat scared.
It’s not that I’m afraid that I will go to an unknown space to try, but that I’m afraid of facing the real darkness in my heart.
Just when no one dared to climb up the platform, Bai Yang suddenly walked out and walked towards the huge mirror steadily.
After seeing him sank into the mirror, Xia Yue didn't think much about it. She ran up the platform and walked into the mirror with light steps.
Seeing that someone had already started the battle, the outer disciples were in a state of chaos for a while, and then followed one after another.
Lu Chao looked quietly, his thin face trembling slightly, as if he remembered that he had participated in the trial of the [Real Self Mirror] many years ago. At that time, he was just a young man in the Battle Qi Realm. Now he is an elder of the Jiange, with a high position and a powerful cultivation level, and his cultivation is no longer comparable to that of the past.
After a sigh, Lu Chao stopped recalling the past and just waited for all the outer disciples to enter the [Real Self Mirror]. He said to the two inner disciples: "The [Real Self Mirror] consumes a lot of space, and if those young men win, they will also consume the power of the [Real Self Mirror]. You and I will maintain the consumption of the [Real Self Mirror] together."
The two inner disciples nodded and replied, "Yes, elder."
———————————————
After entering the [Real Self Mirror], Bai Yang only felt a dizzy turn, and all the scenes around him were pulled and blurred. Finally, he fell into a wonderful space.
There are mountains and waters around here, and there are also scenes of birds flying together and beasts roaring around. However, all of this is just a false appearance presented by the texture of ink and wash.
Bai Yang looked at everything around him and found that the power of stars in his body suddenly jumped.
Bai Yang couldn't help but be stunned: "Is there anything here that makes the power of the stars feel excited?"
He looked around and found that except for the extremely strange space itself, there seemed to be nothing special.
At this moment, a pool of dark water stains appeared in front of him, spreading slowly. It stopped signs of expansion outward when it spread about the size of a lake.
Then, a man slowly emerged from the middle of the dark lake.
Bai Yang looked closely and found that the man was him.
The "Bai Yang" that had no abnormality except pale skin had just emerged from the lake water and shot out like an arrow, rushing towards Bai Yang.
Bai Yang was stunned and immediately reacted quickly, and at the same time, he punched himself running towards him.
"This is indeed my negative consciousness, full of violence!" Bai Yang punched him, but the other party did not resist, and sank into the lake with a thud.
And there was nothing else in the original place except a faint ripples.
Bai Yang looked down and saw that although he was stepping on the dark lake, he could not sink at all, just like he was stepping on land.
However, after his negative consciousness sinks into the water, he doesn't know where it is hidden. Bai Yang concentrates and warns, and there is a solemn smell in the air around him.
Suddenly!
A dark wave of water burst out from the lake under my feet. The negative consciousness that was exactly the same as myself rushed out of the lake again, and directly used the incomplete boxing technique. Three loud bangs continued to push the lake water away and hit Bai Yang's chest.
The eyes sterned, and the dust in his body quickly dredged the battle aura. In an instant, he responded with the same boxing technique. Three explosions exploded in the air and collided with the pale fist.
Boom!
The lake water under the two of them collapsed into huge waves.
Chapter completed!
