Jiang Wen had a strange look on his face. He didn't expect that the duel between monks at the Half-step Innate Realm would be so powerful.
Even though he was more than ten meters away, he could still clearly sense that the powerful alternating hot and cold air blowing towards him was even higher than the full blow of a monk from the seventh heaven of Mortal Transformation Realm.
From Zhuang Wenjie and Zhang Chengtian, Jiang Wen had a correct understanding of the top masters among the outer disciples for the first time, and also had an accurate positioning of their strength. Although he had just entered the ninth level of the Mortal Realm,
But he has absolute self-confidence. With the strength of the two-level fusion of the violent wind sword, whether he encounters these two people in a big competition or a life-and-death struggle, he can win 100%.
Bang bang bang....
With the explosive energy, Zhuang Wenjie's figure flashed and he took fourteen steps back. Each step left a deep footprint on the ground. Zhang Tian took ten steps back and then stopped, but
Wherever his figure passed, the bricks and stones under his feet were trampled into pieces, making him look even more embarrassed.
The two top masters among the outer disciples fought against each other, but the result was an even tie.
After taking a deep look at Zhuang Wenjie opposite, Zhang Chengtian showed a hint of fear in his eyes, and said calmly: "Excellent boxing skills, worthy of Xuan-level martial arts!"
Although the sword strike just now was not his strongest blow, it was not something that ordinary ninth-level monks in the Mortal Transformation Realm could withstand. Zhuang Wenjie was able to take it easily, which was beyond his expectation. And he was very sure that Zhuang Wenjie did not do the same.
Showing your strongest strength, the real trump card, can only have unexpected effects if it is revealed in the competition.
"You're good too!"
Zhuang Wenjie shook his sleeves, shook off the shards of ice clinging to his clothes, and chuckled: "The demonic elixir aura of the Fiery Mandrill is not as useless as I thought before!"
As a genius who came from an ordinary family, Zhuang Wenjie achieved his current achievements at a young age of less than fifteen years old. You can imagine the arrogance and pride in his heart. Among his peers, he has hardly met anyone worthy of him.
It was only with Zhang Tian that he felt threatened for the first time.
Of course, this was only a threat, and he did not really regard it as an opponent, because he believed in his own potential and would one day be able to completely surpass and suppress the opponent.
Dang Dang Dang...
At this moment, loud bells rang in the square, and the outer disciple competition officially began.
After Zhuang Wenjie and Zhang Chengtian glanced at each other, they simultaneously restrained their fighting spirit and turned away in unison, leaving only a tall back to everyone.
As nine bells rang in a row, the noisy crowd in the square stopped talking almost at the same time, and then gathered towards the center of the square, consciously lining up in rows according to their level of cultivation. The level of cultivation reached the realm of transformation.
Jiang Wen from Jiuchongtian naturally stood at the forefront of the team, standing with Zhuang Wenjie, Zhang Tian and others.
boom!
Along with a rumble, the ground in the square began to shake violently.
Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, a ring exuding jade luster fell from the sky and landed safely in the center of the square. The ring was more than ten feet high, with a length and width of more than a hundred feet, and there were steps on all sides.
Connected to the ground, the number of steps is ninety-nine, representing the ultimate and complete meaning.
"This is the legendary Hidden Dragon Platform, which actually fell from the sky!"
From the Lingyun Sect's classics, Jiang Wen learned that the arena in front of him was actually a powerful magic weapon. Its name was 'Qianlong Platform', which meant that the Qianlong Platform would ascend to heaven. On weekdays, this Qianlong Platform has always been hidden.
In the main hall of the mountain gate, the true appearance is revealed only on the day of the annual competition between the outer disciples.
Swish swish swish....
As the Qianlong Platform appeared, nine rainbow lights flew rapidly from the direction of the Shanmen Hall, and then stood suspended in the void above the Qianlong Platform. They were the nine deacons in charge of Ming Jianfeng's affairs, and they were also responsible for this incident.
The referee of the disciple competition.
They glanced at the crowd in the square, and their piercing gazes silenced everyone. Then they turned around at the same time, bowed in the direction of the Shanmen Hall, and said loudly:
"Congratulations to the elder!"
The loud voice soared into the sky, surging back and forth in the sky above the square. This voice seemed to have magical power, affecting Jiang Wen and other thousands of outer disciples, who all bowed down in unison.
"All flat!"
After a while, a clear voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
This voice was ethereal, as if coming from the sky, but it reached every disciple's ear very clearly, and it sounded as if someone was whispering in their ears.
Jiang Wen raised his head. Over the originally empty square, a group of colorful auspicious clouds appeared. Above the auspicious clouds stood a three-foot-high golden throne. A middle-aged man wearing a white gown sat there.
On the throne, he looked down at the thousands of outer disciples below him with majestic eyes. Everyone who looked at him was on pins and needles, lowering his head unconsciously and breaking out in cold sweat.
"Is this the strength of a master in the Dan Bao Realm? It's so terrifying and powerful!"
Feeling the powerful momentum descending from the top of his head, Jiang Wen didn't even dare to take a breath.
The middle-aged man on the golden throne is none other than Meng Guxuan, the elder of Baodan Realm who is in charge of Mingjianfeng. He has been practicing in his cave on weekdays. Even the nine deacons including Wang Jun and Wu Zhen also
It is rare to see him, and he will only show up on important days like the Outer Disciple Competition.
When Meng Guxuan's eyes glanced at Jiang Wen, he did not lower his head, but mustered up the courage to look at Meng Guxuan. It was precisely because of this that the pressure he felt from Meng Guxuan was several times higher than that of other people. Although
He was defeated in just an instant, but the moment Meng Guxuan looked away, he clearly caught the flash of admiration in the corner of Meng Guxuan's eyes.
Meng Guxuan's eyes scanned among the many outer disciples, and then he said: "Now, the annual competition for outer disciples is here again. The significance of the competition is not only to test your cultivation achievements in the past year, but also to test your cultivation achievements in the past year.
It is to select the strongest among you. The world of cultivation is a world where the strong is supreme. Only the truly strong are qualified to be recognized by the sect, and the weak can only be abandoned and become stepping stones for the strong.
Today, you should show off your strength and bravely climb the path to becoming a strong person!"
"promise!"
The clear and emotional voice echoed in his ears. Jiang Wen, like the other outer disciples around him, clenched his fists with enthusiasm and let go of his voice and roared loudly.
After the brief and passionate speech, Meng Guxuan's figure, together with the colorful clouds at his feet, disappeared without a trace, just as when he came, leaving no trace. All the following matters were
It is entirely the responsibility of the nine deacons on the stage.
"Now, let me announce the rules for this outer disciple competition!"
Before many disciples could calm down from their excitement, the voice of Jiang Longxiao, the deacon of the Chuan Gong Hall, rang out, "This competition is divided into two levels. The first level is to climb up to the Qianlong Platform. On the Qianlong Platform
On the surrounding steps, there are restrictions placed by Elder Meng himself. Only the first 128 disciples who successfully ascend the Qianlong Platform are eligible to participate in the second level of competition."
"There is actually a limit on the number of people!"
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, especially Jiang Wen and others standing in the front row of the team, who were gearing up and eager to try.
The restrictions on Qianlong Platform are fair to everyone. The stronger the strength, the greater the resistance encountered. The first level of the Outer Disciple Competition is designed in this way to test the potential of all Outer Disciples.
, it doesn’t mean that someone with high strength will definitely be able to climb the Qianlong Platform, and it doesn’t mean that someone with low strength will not be able to climb it, it all depends on one’s own potential.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Longxiao announced the rules for the first level. During the process of climbing the steps, firstly, one is not allowed to use heavy hands to kill people suddenly, secondly, one is not allowed to attack suddenly when the opponent has just come to power, and thirdly, one is not allowed to use poisonous weapons.
Weapons and hidden weapons, fourthly, after ascending the steps, you can only attack the disciples on the same step. You are not allowed to sneak up from behind to attack the disciples on the next step, nor are you allowed to deliberately obstruct the disciples on the next step. Anyone who disobeys the order will have his or her cultivation revoked and be expelled from the school.
.
The purpose of the Outer Sect Disciple Competition is to select potential seed players to prepare for the upcoming Inner Sect Disciple Trials. If there are talented disciples who were lost on the Qianlong Platform due to malicious competition, then they will be compared with the big disciples.
It goes against the original intention of the game, so we designed such strict rules in this first level.
After the rules were announced, nine deacons including Jiang Longxiao and Wu Zhen gathered in the void above the Qianlong Platform. Then they each bit the tip of their tongues and spat out a mouthful of blood from each other. The blood merged together in the air and gathered together impressively.
It formed a complex and mysterious rune pattern, shining with dazzling red light, and fell into the Hidden Dragon Platform.
The originally silent Qianlong Terrace buzzed for a moment, and then waves of thick mist rose from the Qianlong Terrace, rolled downwards, and soon enveloped the entire Qianlong Terrace.
stand up.
"Now, don't leave yet!!"
Amid the billowing clouds and mist, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded, and nine deacons issued orders at the same time. The first stage of the outer disciples' competition, the 'stage' competition, officially began.
"No one can try to compete with me, the first place belongs to me!"
A figure flew up from the crowd and turned into a rainbow and rushed straight to the Qianlong Platform. This person was Zhuang Wenjie, who was known as the number one genius among the outer disciples! Behind him, Zhang Chengtian was the second to gallop out.
He was carrying a steel knife weighing a hundred kilograms on his back, so his speed was a bit slow.
Following the two people, dozens more figures rushed out one after another, and in a flash they broke into the mist-shrouded Qianlong Platform.
The dozens of people in this second echelon all have at least the strength of the Ninth Level of Mortal Realm, and Jiang Wen is one of them. The remaining thousands of disciples reacted more slowly, and one after another found suitable positions and rushed in.
The process only lasted for more than ten seconds and was completed.
Jiang Wen did not intend to be the first to take the lead. When Zhuang Wenjie's figure flew up, he resisted the impulse in his heart and stayed there for a moment, and then rushed out together with dozens of disciples from the second echelon.
, to make yourself look less conspicuous.
He knew that the first stage of the 'stage' competition was just to test the potential of all the outer disciples and select some of the best from them. Only the second stage of the competition was the real test of strength. He hid his strength
The purpose is not to act like a pig and eat the tiger, but just to prevent yourself from becoming the target of public criticism.
Jiang Wen took a deep breath and stepped onto the Qianlong Platform in a flash. Unexpectedly, when he climbed the steps, he didn't feel the restriction mentioned by Deacon Jiang Longxiao. Then he walked up three steps in one breath.
Thirteen steps later, he felt a breeze-like energy pressing down on him from top to bottom. The higher he went, the greater the pressure.
"If the restriction on Qianlong Platform only has this power, I must speed up my pace!"
Originally, Jiang Wen thought that the first level of the outer disciple competition would be very difficult, but the fact was beyond his expectation, which forced him to give up his plan of hiding his strength and speed up his climb up the stairs.
