(This chapter is updated. I have read a lot of collections. Don’t worry, friends. If there is anything inappropriate, you can say it.)
The next day was still uneventful. Lin Li just practiced regularly and moved the technique through his meridians for a few rounds. The rest of the time was spent chatting and hanging out with his fellow disciples. The day passed in the blink of an eye.
In the evening, everyone was a little nervous, because tomorrow's game will be very difficult. After all, there are many seniors who have reached the peak of the ninth Dan Condensation and the quasi-Yuan Dan realm. Especially the disciples of the Eighth Dan Condensation and the Nineth Dan Condensation.
I'm worried that if I meet a Quasi-Yuandan realm senior brother in the first game, won't I be kicked off in the first game?
Not to mention the top 200 inner disciples, even the top 500 have no chance.
On the third day, all the disciples got up early, washed themselves, and went to the dining hall to have breakfast.
All the disciples of the Qingyun Sect came to the square. At first glance, they saw a huge sea of people, crowded and very popular.
On the huge square, in just a day and a half, thirty-six large platforms were erected, made of waist-thick giant trees, and they were more than ten feet apart from each other.
The circle is arranged radially around the stands.
The stand is three feet high and covers an area of an acre. There are seventy or eighty chairs on it. At the front are five large chairs, which are obviously the seats of the Lord of the Five Peaks. Looking down from the stand, you can have a panoramic view of all the arenas.
.
After a while, seventy or eighty rays of light of various colors flashed forward, revealing their figures on the stands. They were the top leaders of each peak led by the leader.
The senior officials sat down on their respective chairs. Seeing that all the disciples had arrived, the leader smiled slightly and nodded to the Red Crystal Peak Master.
The Red Crystal Peak Master stood up, waved his hand and said, "Disciples, let's draw lots in order."
After the master of Scarlet Crystal Peak finished speaking, he went back and sat down, while the disciples of Qingyun Peak came out first and walked towards the bottom of the stands.
Only then did Lin Li see that there was a huge red list posted directly in front of the stands, with seven hundred and fifty numbers written on it from one to seven hundred and five. Next to the red list, there was a huge blue wooden box.
Qingyun Peak disciples successively took out bamboo sticks from the box and reported the numbers to the person in charge, who then recorded their names under the drawn numbers.
Then the disciples from Red Crystal and Jinshi peaks went to draw lots.
After that came the disciples from Xiaozhu Peak and Ziyun Peak. The Xiaozhu Peak disciples, led by Zhao Xing and Han Bing, walked to the blue box one by one, pulled out the bamboo sticks, and then reported the number they drew to the person in charge. It was Lin Li's turn.
When he arrived, Lin Li reached into the blue box and took out a bamboo stick. He took a look and saw that it was number seventy-two.
"There are many small bamboo peaks, No. 72." Lin Li showed the bamboo stick he drew to the person in charge, and then the person wrote Lin Li's name under No. 72 on the red list, and there was already a person's name there.
, Red Crystal Peak Zhou Tianhua.
"Zhou Tianhua!" Lin Li muttered silently, this was his opponent in the first match.
After the Xiaozhufeng disciples finished drawing lots, they went back and stood up. Anshan said in confusion: "With so many people drawing lots, it will take a lot of time. Why didn't the sect's senior leaders arrange to draw lots yesterday? Instead, choose to do it today?"
Many other people have this doubt.
Zhao Xing nodded and said: "It makes sense for the sect's senior management to do this. If the draw was completed yesterday, the participating disciples would not have inquired about the opponent's strength in advance? It would be better to prepare. In this way, the original intention of the competition to verify the strength of the disciples would be lost. If
If you encounter an opponent outside, how can you prepare in advance?"
"Oh, that's it." The disciples nodded.
Soon after, all the disciples finished drawing lots. On the red list under the stands, seven hundred and fifty pairs of names were written in gold paint as big as a fist. The top row was the lottery number, and the bottom row was the person's name, which was clear at a glance.
At this time, the master of Red Crystal Peak stood up, walked to the edge of the stand, and said loudly: "Since all the disciples have drawn lots and posted them on the red list, it is completely fair and just. Now, please stand in line, senior brother.
say."
The disciples lined up in the gaps in the arena in order of each peak.
The originally noisy disciples became quiet when they heard that the leader was about to come out to speak. The leader stood up from his seat, walked slowly to the edge of the stand, glanced at the disciples, and then said: "Everyone, all of you.
He is the leader of the younger generation in our Qingyun Sect. His qualifications and talents are all outstanding. In the future, the peak masters, elders, and even my position as the head of the Qingyun Sect will most likely be filled by the best among you.
.”
The disciples of Qingyun were in a state of excitement, and many of them had expressions of yearning and excitement on their faces.
The leader showed a kind smile and said: "Of course, if you want to reach this point and sit in the position of the peak masters behind me, you will have to work harder."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes."
The leader covered his long beard with his hand, nodded, and said seriously: "I, the Qingyun sect, have always been a famous righteous sect since the establishment of the sect, and now I am one of the righteous leaders among many sects. In today's world, human beings are strong
The monsters are emerging in large numbers, the monsters are shrinking, the demons are retreating, and the world is enjoying peace. However, the threat of monsters still exists, and the evil sects are determined not to die. In recent years, they seem to be ready to take action. At this time, we and the righteous sects are even more needed.
We must hoe the strong and help the weak, and protect the safety of human cities. Therefore, you must concentrate on your cultivation, be firm-minded, and not be lazy or arrogant."
The disciples shouted loudly: "I will obey the Master's teachings!"
The leader smiled and said: "Okay, okay. There is one more thing I want to announce to everyone: In order to encourage the disciples of the Qingyun Sect to practice hard, I discussed with the top leaders of the peak masters and decided to start from this inner sect competition.
From now on, after each competition, the top three will be given a small reward."
"Ah!!" There was a commotion among the Qingyun disciples.
The leader looked at these young disciples and smiled: "The first prize this time is the 'Aurora Mirror', a king-level spiritual weapon. The second and third prizes are high-end and top spiritual weapons."
"Mirror?" Lin Li's heart skipped a beat. All mirror-like spiritual weapons were rare treasures, and their abilities were far superior to other spiritual weapons of the same level, not to mention that they were still king-level.
Lin Li's first reaction was to look at his master, but he saw that even Xiao Buping raised his eyebrows, obviously he still valued this "Aurora Mirror".
"King-level spiritual weapon!"
The other disciples were amazed. King-level spiritual weapons are very precious. Even the 1,500 top disciples of the Qingyun Sect in the field, except for a few who are particularly favored in the peak, do not have king-level spiritual weapons.
The headmaster paused for a while, smiling as he watched the young disciples discuss each other. After a while, he said: "Okay, that's basically it. Please let Junior Brother Chijingfeng arrange the specific matters."
The master of Red Crystal Peak stood up and said loudly: "One thousand five hundred people compete, divided into seven hundred and fifty rounds, and there are thirty-six arenas, so naturally they have to be divided into several batches. The first thirty-sixth disciple will do it
Get ready, the game starts in half an hour."
Forty-five disciples of Xiaozhu Peak gathered together to discuss, and there were two disciples assigned to the first batch of competition.
Among them is Niu Ren, which Lin Li is familiar with.
"It's really depressing that I'm in the first batch. I just don't know how strong my opponent is?" Niu Ren said.
Zhao Xing patted Niu Ren on the shoulder, "We have to compete sooner or later. Junior Brother Niu, you will win the competition. Come on."
Niu Ren smiled and said, "I just said it casually. I actually don't mind. It's the same whether it's morning or evening."
Xiao Buping and Wen Qin walked down from the stands. Wen Qin said: "The head brother took out the 'Aurora Mirror' as a reward. Although it is of low level, it is extremely effective. A spiritual weapon of this level has no effect on us.
It’s useless, but for these disciples, it’s a rare thing.”
Xiao Buping snorted coldly, "Calm him to be generous. However, this 'Aurora Mirror' will eventually fall into the hands of his Qingyun Peak disciples. It must be calculated."
"Shhh. Keep your voice down, it's not good for others to hear you." Wen Qin rolled her eyes at her husband and said.
Xiao Buping glanced at his wife, "It's because he pursued you in the early years."
Wen Qin snarled: "You damn ghost..."
Xiao Buping turned his head and walked towards his disciple.
…
The disciples at Xiaozhu Peak turned around and saw Xiao Buping and Wen Qin walking over. They quickly looked at them and said, "Master, Master!"
Xiao Buping nodded and said nothing, but Wen Qin said: "The competition will begin in a moment. You guys have to be more upbeat, got it?"
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
Wen Qin glanced at the two disciples who were about to participate in the first batch of competitions and said: "You two have been here for a few years, you have a calm temperament, and you have both participated in the inner sect competition. I won't say more and try your best.
Strength is good.”
"Yes, Master Niang." Niu Ren and the other two replied.
