A terrifying sword light spurted out from the sword and sank into the rocks in front of it. The next moment——
Rumble
A huge roar resounded, and the entire pile of rubble emitted a huge roar. All the rocks within the area that had been covered by the sword light suddenly exploded, turning into countless rubbles and scattering, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust.
As it spreads, the scene is horrifying and horrifying.
Lin Xiao stood up, despite huge rocks hitting his feet, but his expression remained unmoved.
"The fifth form of the mountain-breaking sword has finally been perfected."
The surroundings turned silent, and finally there was a flicker in his eyes. He sheathed his sword and turned around to leave.
After entering the North City Gate, Lin Xiao went straight to the general manager's office of the Martial Palace.
"The Genius Disciple Competition will be in three days. I have designated you and Gong Yu as the seed disciples of our Martial Palace. The seed disciples do not need to participate in the first round of selection. You are only fifteen years old this year. I don't have much respect for you in this Genius Competition.
I just hope you can experience the feeling of this kind of competition, but you can't take it lightly. When the next genius disciple competition is held in three years, I hope you can represent our Martial Palace and win the first place. I believe you have the ability.
.”
Chu Weichen looked at Lin Xiao and ordered.
"Of course, it would be great if you can enter the top twenty this time. Although it is difficult to enter the top twenty with the strength of the late second rank, it is not impossible."
Chu Weichen laughed as he spoke. This was all he expected from Lin Xiao.
It's not that he doesn't think highly of Lin Xiao, but the triennial Genius Disciple Competition is a must-win in the minds of all genius warriors from all the major forces in the New Acropolis. At this time, there will be endless masters lurking among the major forces.
The only thing is to compete for the top five spots.
According to the regulations, the top five disciples in the Genius Disciple Competition can represent New Acropolis in the Genius Competition held in Xuanyi County after a period of time. At that time, not only the genius disciples in New Acropolis, but also the other five Acropolis and Xuanyi
All the talented young people from the county and city will compete on the same stage. This is a great honor and an extremely rare experience.
Every young warrior has a dream in his heart, that is to become the most dazzling one on the big stage, and the Genius Disciple Competition can give them such an opportunity, regardless of their origin or status, it only depends on the passion of the young people.
Defeat powerful enemies and sweep away alliances, just to become the top one.
For this goal, even the young warriors who usually remain indifferent to the fight for fame and power and devote themselves to hard training will take the initiative one after another at this time.
In such an environment, there are many strong men and geniuses. Although Lin Xiao is amazingly talented, he is only fifteen years old after all. Compared with those geniuses who are eighteen, nineteen, or even twenty years old, no matter in terms of combat experience,
Even in terms of training time, Chu Weichen naturally did not have high expectations for Lin Xiao.
I think back then, Lin Xiao's eldest brother Lin Xuan won the first place in the Genius Disciple Competition held at the time after advancing to the third rank at the age of eighteen, and went to Xuanyi County on behalf of New Acropolis and Martial Palace.
When he thought of Lin Xuan and the genius competition in Xuanyi County, Chu Weichen felt a sudden pain in his heart and couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, his eyes looking at Lin Xiao were full of complexity.
"If Lin Xuan hadn't been..." Chu Weichen shook his head with complicated eyes.
Because of the Qi Condensation Technique, the aura on Lin Xiao's body is now only retained in the late second-level stage. Coupled with the cover-up of the second-level mental power, even a strong person like Chu Weichen in the middle stage of Mortal Realm cannot see that Lin Xiao is at this time.
the true level of.
Lin Xiao opened his mouth, ready to tell him about his promotion to the third rank, but when the words reached his lips, he took them back.
Everything you say now is just empty talk. Let’s give Manager Chu a surprise on the playing field later.
After leaving the martial arts hall, Lin Xiao returned home without hesitation and continued to practice.
three days later
In the courtyard, Lin Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, shrank suddenly, and finally turned into a milky white color. Every ounce of Yuan Power was thick and solid, far exceeding the strength of ordinary third-level warriors. Under Lin Xiao's and
The Yuanchi and meridians are going through cycles one after another, never ending.
"Tomorrow is the Genius Disciple Competition. After this period of hard work, my Condensation Skill has finally reached the seventh level of success."
Lin Xiao stood up, his eyes were firm, calm, but sharp.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for the genius disciple competition to start tomorrow.
When... when... when...
Early the next morning, distant and long sounds of bells could be heard from the center of the New Acropolis, where the city lord's palace was.
These huge bells rang, and the entire New Acropolis seemed to be suddenly awakened from a deep sleep. Countless people went out and rushed to the city.
Every time the big bell in the city lord's palace rings, it is when important events happen in the New Acropolis. Normally, the big bell is only rung when something like a beast tide sieges the city, but this time everyone is ringing.
I know that the reason why the big bell is ringing is that the triennial genius disciple competition in New Acropolis is about to start today.
"Second brother, you have to work hard to compete today and try to get into the top ten." Lin Rou waved her fists and looked excited, as if she was participating in the competition.
"Rou'er, what do you girls know? The rankings are all fictitious. Your second brother naturally knows it." Lin Xiao's parents said with a smile. Such a big thing as the genius disciple competition is the entire Xinwei.
This is a grand event in the city, even more sensational and grand than the annual Saint Yuan Festival. Lin Weiguo and Chen Fenglan will naturally go to watch it.
"Xiao'er, just try your best during the competition. If you know you are losing, don't fight hard. Safety is the most important thing." As parents, although Lin Weiguo and Chen Fenglan hope that their sons can get good rankings, they still hope that their sons will get good rankings.
More than anything, I still want my son to be safe.
"Father, mother, don't worry, my child knows." Faced with his parents' concern, Lin Xiao also felt a trace of warmth in his heart.
The family of four went out and slowly walked along the crowd to the central City Lord's Palace Square.
The New Acropolis City Lord's Palace is located in the middle of the city, and directly in front of the City Lord's Palace is an extremely vast square, known as the Martial Arts Square. The genius disciple competition is held here every three years, led by the New Acropolis.
The city lord personally presided over it.
"Hua Hua"
As soon as I arrived at the square, I saw that the square was crowded and lively. A large number of warriors and people surrounded the entire square.
Ten round platforms with a height of three meters and a diameter of 100 meters have been built in the center of the square. Around the round platforms are a circle of VIP seats. Outside the VIP seats are a large number of ordinary audience seats.
The higher it is, the entire layout is somewhat similar to the football field in the previous life, which is enough to ensure that everyone can see the competition on the central stage.
As relatives of disciples of the Martial Hall, Lin Xiao's parents naturally had a special rest area, which was right behind the VIP seats of the Martial Hall. The location was excellent. After arranging for his parents to sit down, Lin Xiao went to the Martial Hall area in front alone.
"Lin Xiao."
As soon as Lin Xiao arrived at the rest area of Martial Palace, Fei Chenning, Liu Feng, Wang Wu, Lu Xue and others immediately surrounded him excitedly.
"Lin Xiao, have you seen that there are so many warriors, and this time I have to work hard to get into the top twenty of the talented disciples." Fei Chenning clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Of course, my first goal is
Let’s enter the group stage first.”
The rules of the competition for genius disciples are that they are divided into ten groups, each group has twenty people, and they compete to find the top two and enter the top twenty.
In other words, there are a total of two hundred people in the group stage, but there are definitely more than this number of warriors who can sign up for the Genius Disciple Competition, so the top two hundred must be selected from a large number of warrior disciples. This selection is a random drawing of lots to fight against each other, and the winner will be determined in one round.
, the winner will enter, and the loser will be eliminated. Some people may not be drawn and enter the group stage directly, while others may be drawn to two or three games.
Everything depends on luck.
Of course, as one of the two major seed disciples in the Martial Arts Hall, Lin Xiao does not need to participate in the trials.
Each of the ten strongest forces in the New Acropolis has a quota of two seed disciples. The seed disciples do not need to participate in the initial selection, and each two will be directly assigned to ten groups.
In fact, the seeded players may not necessarily be the strongest, there will also be masters appearing in the trials, and the advantage of the seeded disciples is that they don’t have to worry about being directly eliminated when they meet the masters at the beginning.
"Then you have to work hard." Lin Xiao said with a smile: "With your strength, there is no problem in entering the group stage if you are careful."
After more than half a year of hard work, Fei Chenning has now reached the mid-level of the second rank. It is not easy to enter the top twenty with this strength, but it is not difficult to enter the group stage. After all, the rule of the Genius Disciple Competition is that twenty
Only warriors under the age of 18 can participate. For this age group, being able to reach the mid-level second rank is already considered a good achievement.
For example, although Bai Yujing's strength is extremely terrifying, he is only one step away from the mortal realm at the age of 24 when he reaches the peak of the third rank. In terms of strength, he is not even weaker than Lin Xiao, but he is not eligible to register for the genius disciple competition because he is over the age.
The real young geniuses under the age of twenty were selected.
"Don't worry, I, Fei Chenning, am not good at anything else. I have always been very lucky." Fei Chenning laughed happily.
On the side, Liu Feng remained silent and watched with a smile, while Wang Wu and Lu Xue were unavoidably a little uneasy. Although they were both genius disciples of the Martial Palace, they were still one step away from becoming second-level true warriors.
For them, the goal they set for themselves is only to participate.
While the two were talking, suddenly——
"Wow"
There was a violent roar from the entire auditorium. Lin Xiao looked up and saw a group of people walking out from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion with extraordinary momentum. The most dazzling among these people were the ten people in front, each of them was full of momentum.
Extraordinary, it became the focus of the square.
"Look, these are the top ten forces in our New Acropolis."
"The leader is the city lord Zhuang Yi of our New Acropolis. He is a strong man in the late stage of Mortal Realm and is the well-deserved number one master of our New Acropolis."
"Behind him is the Master of Jishi Pavilion of Dan Pavilion, a strong man in the middle stage of the Mortal Transformation Realm, and an alchemist at the peak of the third level."
"There is also General Manager Wu Ping of Yuanwu Holy Land."
"General Manager Chu Weichen of Martial Palace."
"That middle-aged man with white hair is Manager Qi Zhe of Tianchi Palace."
Various excited discussions came from the crowd. These people were all real big figures in the New Acropolis, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see them.
