The cold is passing and the summer is coming, time is rushing, and time is passing quickly.
Nine months have passed since Bai Qingzhou practiced the new technique.
And the time has come for the sect competition.
Thanks to the sect's special publicity in the early stage, many disciples learned about the sect competition. Everyone was excited for a while, and the news aroused everyone's competitive spirit.
After all, many disciples are just practicing hard in the sect and have never fought with others. At this time, there was an open and honest competition. Many disciples did not hesitate and all signed up to participate.
While everyone was looking forward to it, today, the sect competition finally officially started.
The place for the competition is set in a valley in Xuanyangmen. This valley is very vast. In the valley, there is a large round stone platform with a circle of ropes around it. This is the place for the competition.
The arena used.
It is said that this is the arena that the sect spent money to hire people from the market to repair. It has a special magic circle for the competition field, which can block the attack spells in the field to prevent hurting the spectators outside the field, and can also detect fatal dangers and respond in time.
stop.
It allows people to perform moves at will, which is very safe.
There is a high platform right in front of the ring, with a long table on top and many fresh fruits. At this time, there are three people sitting on the high platform.
Sitting in the middle is a young man who looks about twenty-seven or eighty-year-old. He is wearing a black and white robe. He has confidence in his eyebrows and looks very energetic. He is the leader of this sect, Li Yuyun.
The man sitting on the left is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old. His eyes are shining and he is smiling kindly. He is the elder of our sect who has successfully established a new foundation, Nie Fang.
The person on the right is a woman, about thirty years old, with a beautiful face. She holds a cyan sword in front of her chest with both hands, and looks at the many disciples below with an indifferent expression.
This is another elder who has been practicing hard in the back mountain and is said to be extremely powerful in swordsmanship, Han Aoyu.
The three elders sat in meditation on the high platform, and many seats were set up around the valley. At this time, there were dozens of people sitting there, including some outer disciples who had not participated in the competition within the sect and registered disciples within the sect.
All the more than 20 people participating in the competition were standing in front of the ring.
There are mainly three waves of people in front of the arena. If you observe carefully, you will know that these correspond to the disciples in the early, middle and late stages of Qi refining.
Bai Qingzhou was currently standing in the middle stage of Qi refining. Next to him stood a somewhat nervous Qin Yihan. There were quite a few of them, eight in total.
"Okay! Be quiet!"
Chen Li stood in front of everyone, holding two wooden boxes in his hand. Each box had a small circular hole. After everyone calmed down, he said loudly:
"Now let's start the drawing! Everyone comes up to draw a number plate. The number represents the playing sequence. Those with the same number will compete in pairs. In future competitions, the number plate will prevail."
After speaking, he looked around at the crowd, then pointed at the crowd standing on the left, "Those who are in the early stage of Qi refining, come up and draw first."
The people on the left heard the instructions and started to line up to get their number plates.
Bai Qingzhou calculated that there were fourteen people in the early stage of Qi refining, among whom the more familiar Ruan Xiuqi and Meng Li were among them.
Naturally, they also signed up to participate in the competition. Over the past year, Meng Li has made rapid progress and has now reached the second level of Qi Refining, while Ruan Xiuqi is still stuck at the third level of Qi Refining, stuck for a long time.
Soon, more than a dozen people had drawn their number cards. Ruan Xiuqi looked at his own number plate, and then winked at Bai Qingzhou, quite excited, wondering what good cards he had drawn.
"Come if you are in the middle stage of Qi refining."
Official Chen's voice suddenly sounded.
After the dozen or so people in the early stages of Qi Refining drew their numbers, Chen Li picked up another box and placed it in front of him.
Everyone immediately stepped forward to line up. After a while, it was Bai Qingzhou's turn. He stepped forward and took out a number plate from the box and took a closer look.

There is a number clearly engraved on the wooden number plate, three.
That's the third appearance...
When turning back to the crowd, Qin Yihan popped up and asked: "Bai Qingzhou, how much did you smoke?"
He raised the number plate in front of Qin Yihan and said with a smile, "It's three!"
"I'm No. 2. Fortunately, I didn't fight you. But I don't know which senior brother I will fight with..." Qin Yihan said nervously.
She was not good at fighting. She participated in the competition because she saw several friends participating. She couldn't bear to fall behind, so she gritted her teeth and signed up together.
Bai Qingzhou smiled slightly and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay. The competition is not life-threatening, so don't worry."
Qin Yihan said worriedly: "Hey, I don't expect to win, I'm just afraid that losing will be too embarrassing..."
"The drawing is over!" Chen Li interrupted.
After the drawings for the early and middle stages of Qi refining were completed, the lottery ceremony was announced by Chen Li as the end, and the drawing for the later stages of Qi refining was not conducted.
Because there is no need to draw lots in the later stage of Qi refining, there are only four disciples in the sect who have reached this level of cultivation, which are the four inner disciples.
Among the four, Chen Li did not participate in the competition, and Xiao Feichen, another inner sect disciple, had not yet returned to the sect. Therefore, there were only Zhang Zhiyan and Li Xian in the later stage of Qi Refining, so there was no need to draw lots.
"All disciples return to the waiting area and wait for the call sign!" Chen Li gave the order.
After hearing this, everyone retreated and returned to the waiting area next to the ring to sit in silence.
Not long after Bai Qingzhou returned to the waiting area and sat down, he heard the master's high-pitched voice coming from above, "This competition is the entrance examination for the sect. It is the best opportunity to show your achievements in practice. I hope all the disciples can give full play to it."
, get a good ranking!”
Looking up, Leader Li Yuyun had stood up. He looked around, looked at the dozens of registered disciples sitting around, and continued to speak loudly:
"Registered disciples also need to watch this competition carefully. It is a rare opportunity and will be of great benefit to you in understanding [Fire Sun Jue]. Do you understand?"
Dozens of registered disciples all stood up, saluted and replied in unison: "Disciple understands!"
Li Yuyun nodded, and then said to Chen Li beside the ring: "Deacon Chen, let's start!"
"Yes!" Chen Li replied in a deep voice, raising his hands.
When Master Li Yuyun sat back on the chair, Chen Li turned to the disciples and said:
"Those who are in the early stage of Qi refining will start first. Those who read the number plate will come forward in twos and twos. The first one is number one!"
After hearing the order, two disciples immediately stood up in the crowd, and everyone looked over.
After seeing the two people, everyone immediately started talking...
"Senior Brother Tan should have won this competition..."
"Indeed, there is no suspense."
There was constant discussion in hushed tones…
Bai Qingzhou looked at the two of them. One was a senior who had been in the industry for nearly ten years, named Tan Wen. Bai Qingzhou still remembered that when he first went to Gongshan Pavilion to register, he was the one who enthusiastically led the way. He was an extremely
Friendly brother.
The other one is a disciple who has just entered the Immortal Conference this year. His name is Shi Zhichen. He is only twelve years old this year. He has immature features and is only as tall as the shoulders of Senior Brother Tan.
The third level of Qi refining versus the first level of Qi refining.
There is a big difference in both age and cultivation level.
Bai Qingzhou shook his head gently, Junior Brother Shi's chances of winning were too low...
The two of them slowly entered the ring together, saluted their elders together on the high platform, and then stood on both sides of the ring.
Shi Zhichen was quite young, but he showed no fear at this moment. He raised his hands and said with a serious look: "Please teach me, Senior Brother Tan!"
Tan Wen had a relaxed expression on his face and chuckled, "Junior brother is easy to talk to!"
It’s accurate to see both of them
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When it was ready, Chen Li gave the order.
"The first match in the early stage of Qi refining, Tan Wen versus Shi Zhichen, begins!"
Shi Zhichen was obviously young and energetic. As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on his feet, stirred up some dust, and rushed towards Tan Wen.
But Tan Wen didn't panic. He raised his arms and stepped forward to meet him.
The rules of the competition stipulate that in the early stage of Qi refining, weapons and spells cannot be used, and one can only rely entirely on one's own spiritual energy and physical strength for melee combat.
"boom!"
The two bodies collided with each other in an instant. Shi Zhichen immediately took a few steps back, while Tan Wen did not move at the same place.
With one touch, you can immediately see the height.
Shi Zhichen's hard blow could not make Tan Wen take even half a step back.
But Shi Zhichen did not give up, stopped retreating, and immediately rushed towards Tan Wen. Tan Wen did not dodge, and the two of them started punching and kicking each other.
After watching for a while, Bai Qingzhou could see that Tan Wen did not use all his strength, but also stopped his hands in many places, which seemed to be very easy.
Bai Qingzhou kept watching carefully. After a while, Bai Qingzhou felt relieved. With the current strength of these two people, he was confident that he could easily defeat them.
After a while, Shi Zhichen looked a little tired, and Tan Wen shouted: "Junior brother, be careful!"
He made a fist with his right hand and punched Shi Zhichen in the abdomen. Shi Zhichen couldn't react at all and flew out of the ring like a kite with its string broken.
"First match, Tan Wensheng!"
Chen Li immediately shouted.
Shi Zhichen was not seriously injured. He stood up slowly, took a breath and said with thanks, "Xiao Shi, thank you, Senior Brother Tan, for your advice."
Tan Wen smiled and returned the favor: "Junior brother accepts."
When Tan Wen walked off the stage, Chen Li immediately announced the start of the second round.
"Second session in the early stage of Qi refining, Personnel No. 2!"
As Chen Li kept calling, the disciples in the waiting area who were in the early stage of Qi refining continued to come on stage.
The three heads and elders on the high platform watched the competition in the ring below and talked in low voices from time to time.
The registered disciples around him all looked excited and applauded thunderously.
They had never seen such a fight. With their eyesight, they could only see two figures flashing and moving around. They were dazzled by the sight, and they were all whispering to each other for a while.
The competition was carried out one by one amidst the discussion among the people.
…
"Meng Li actually won." Bai Qingzhou was extremely surprised.
In the sixth competition that just ended, Meng Li embarrassingly defeated a senior who was on the second level of Qi Refining. As a new disciple, he defeated a disciple who had been a disciple for a long time, which caused many disciples to discuss it.
.
Although Meng Li won the competition, her expression was still cold, without any joy, and she stood quietly.
"In the sixth game, Meng Li wins!" Chen Li shouted.
Meng Li slowly walked down the ring, her eyes glanced inexplicably, and she met Bai Qingzhou's eyes. The two looked at each other. Bai Qingzhou smiled and nodded, giving him an encouraging look.
Seeing Bai Qingzhou's expression, Meng Li smiled slightly, and there was a hint of warmth in her usually cold eyes.
It was rare for him to smile.
After half a year of contact, Bai Qingzhou and Meng Li have become much closer. The two of them, together with Ruan Xiu and Qi Qin Yihan, often get together to exchange Taoist techniques and compete in martial arts.
"For the seventh competition, come up on the 7th!" Chen Li continued.
"Haha, it's finally my turn! I'm coming too!"
I heard Ruan Xiuqi smile boldly, and with a movement of his body, he stepped on the seat in front of him, jumped up, and kept lightly stepping on the seat. He flew lightly all the way to the ring, looking extremely cool.
