Li Ye stepped directly onto the center of the stage of life and death, scanning the nine people one by one, deciding which one to fight first.
"The one currently ranked first is actually him?"
Yu Ge's expression looked as if he had swallowed a fly, and he couldn't believe it.
The inner disciples and the core disciples were assessed separately before, so they didn't know what was going on between them. When they saw it now, they almost rolled their eyes.
Shi Qing was also a little surprised. Xu Feng didn't tell him what happened just now, and he was also surprised at this time.
A ray of light flashed in Yue Qing's eyes, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, she glanced at Shao Yueling beside her, and laughed softly, "Brother Wei is more and more impressed by Junior Sister's vision. This young man has shown it time and time again. Even Brother Wei
I can’t help but want to find out.”
Unfortunately, there was no response. The goddess in the hearts of the disciples of the Tianjian Sect, the daughter of the sect leader, is like an ice lotus, and no one can pry open the thick layer of ice on her appearance.
Perhaps only Li Ye knew that under that layer of ice that seemed to have never melted for thousands of years, what was actually hidden was the tenderness of a normal young girl.
There was no reaction when he saw the beauty. Even with Yue Qing's calm personality, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, he did not show any displeasure, and just shook his head slightly.
"Who to choose?"
Li Ye knew very well that although this seemed to be a fair rule, in fact, the person who had the right to choose his opponent in the first place had the upper hand.
At least, he can choose the weakest person to easily win a victory, and then fight the next person in an almost perfect state. On the contrary, the further back, the harder the battle becomes! Because after constant confrontation, as if
Like a wheel battle, even the strongest person among the ten is not sure he can win!
"Who will he choose?"
Everyone is waiting for Li Ye's decision.
"If I were him, in this first battle, I would definitely choose one of Xu Feng or Ling Feng. Among the ten people, these two are injured, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. It is the best choice to deal with and retain strength."
One of the core disciples whispered.
None of the top ten inner disciples is an opponent that can be easily defeated. Even if you win a battle, if you accidentally consume too much or get injured, it will definitely affect the next battle.
"Under this kind of rules, how to arrange your opponents in every battle is a science! If you don't calculate it well, even if your strength is expected to compete for first place, it is very likely that the first few rounds will consume too much, and you will eventually lose to someone you could have defeated.
person!"
This is a seemingly unfair but very fair rule!
"Strength, luck, and even mind are all important factors in whether a person can reach the pinnacle of martial arts. None of them can be missing."
On the high platform, the great elder smiled slightly. This was the reason why he made such a decision.
"I don't need a pure martial artist, nor do I need someone who has risen to the top by luck. What I need is someone who can control the entire Tianjian Sect, and even bring the nearly torn apart Tianjian Sect back together, and return to its glory days a thousand years ago.
!”
No one knows the persistence and dreams in the heart of this old man who is only a little out of town.
Perhaps the only person who understands him is his junior brother.
Li Ye was hesitating, but he also knew that his choice was crucial.
"Li Ye, think carefully about your choice of opponent. This will have a vital impact on your subsequent battles."
Elder Xue gave an unprecedented reminder, which made many people look slightly strange.
"Elder Xue is an absolute confidant of the Great Elder's sect. His every word and deed represents the meaning of the Great Elder." Everyone looked strange, including some of the disciples who knew that Elder Xue had taken care of Li Yeduo along the way.
A hint of speculation, "Could it be that he is the person chosen by the great elder?"
Zheng Shui had a gloomy look on his face. He knew more than many people, but because of this, when he saw his master being so partial and even speaking out to remind others, the jealousy in his heart was like a spark that could start a prairie fire.
Coming more and more violently.
Li Ye was not unaware of Elder Xue's kindness. However, after learning the purpose behind this disciple's assessment, he became more defensive.
He glanced towards the high platform. The old man with hidden swords had a calm look in his eyes, as if he didn't care about any choice he made.
"I choose..."
Finally, Li Ye made a decision. But before he finished speaking, he saw a figure already standing in the center of the stage of life and death.
"Second senior brother!?"
It was Xu Feng. Xu Feng, whose right sleeve was empty and stained with blood, was looking at Li Ye with a calm expression.
"Junior brother, don't hold back, let me see how strong you really are."
No one expected that Xu Feng would step on the stage of life and death by himself.
"Second senior brother, I'm not..."
Li Ye just spoke, but was interrupted by Xu Feng, "Junior brother, do you look down on my brother?"
Before he finished speaking, a long sword suddenly appeared in Xu Feng's remaining left hand, and a sword light came in an instant like a cunning poisonous snake.
Li Ye had no choice but to resist, but did not fight back.
"Junior brother, you and I will fight a few moves, and then we will admit defeat for my brother! Remember, don't reveal too much strength! Save it for the end before taking action."
The two of them passed by each other, and the second senior brother's whisper came to his ears. Only then did Li Ye know that Xu Feng's purpose of stepping onto the stage of life and death was to fulfill him!
The opponent he originally wanted to choose was Ling Feng! At least after watching his previous battle, Li Ye was confident that he had a 90% chance of winning without exposing too many trump cards.
But the actions of the second senior brother made him more stable in this battle! He didn't even need to expose too much to win a victory!
Li Ye was not a mother-in-law, so he nodded.
"Second Senior Brother has a broken arm and his strength is greatly damaged. If we encounter others, it will definitely be a fierce battle and even worsen the injury. In this case, it is better for me to win the battle and at the same time prevent Second Senior Brother's injury from worsening."
After thinking about this, the two of them seemed to be able to match a few moves quite well. Then Xu Feng deliberately found a flaw and was struck by Li Ye's sword on the blade, shocking him out of the stage of life and death.
"Second Senior Brother, I admit it."
The two looked at each other and smiled. This result was actually satisfactory to both of them. Xu Feng knew that it was impossible to compete for first place this time, so he entrusted his hope to his junior brother Li Ye.
Li Ye, on the other hand, was aiming for the first place, so he was naturally happy to win the first place easily.
Everyone is not blind, but no one will point this out.
Even Elder Xue seemed to turn a blind eye, and no one else would question it.
At this time, among the ten people, Li Ye won one game and gained one point. Xu Feng lost one game and still received zero points. The remaining eight people received zero points.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Yu Luoyan.
In the previous ranking, he was ranked second! Now, it's time for him to choose his first opponent.
