Chapter 222 Roll Call
When Lu Ye walked out of the cave, Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi were already waiting outside, and beside them stood a frowning Shu Chitu.
Several people were wearing the dark black robes of the outer disciples.
Lu Ye is also dressed in the same way.
After the four of them bowed to each other, they walked slowly towards the mountain, as was the case with their fellow disciples not far away.
Today, few people use their escape light to rush towards the Taoist temple.
Those who are not strong enough are afraid that they will die in the competition, and those who are strong enough are afraid that they will not be able to grab the top four.
Those who are neither above nor below understand that this internal competition is just the first hurdle.
After the competition, the secret realm of the Black Cave will be opened in one month. It will be much more bloody and cruel than the competition.
Even if you are lucky enough to escape the flesh and blood millstone in the secret realm, you don’t know how long the fragile balance of the Seven Demon Gates in Black Cave Mountain can be maintained. There are also the Ancient Sword Manor and the White Crane Gate watching eagerly outside.
I'm afraid this Black Cave Mountain will never be able to settle down again.
Therefore, all the disciples, both internal and external, looked worried, and no one had a calm face.
Lu Ye walked around in a circle and saw that everyone's expressions were not very good, so he frowned and pretended to have a bitter look.
"Junior brother," he asked Shu Chitu first, "have you been in seclusion for many days, can you break through the third level of Qi training?"
As the competition approached, all the disciples emptied their storage bags. After replacing the spiritual stone magic weapon and various foreign objects, there are quite a few outer disciples who have broken through to the third level of Qi training.
Even among the inner disciples, the female senior sister that Zhu Jian fawns over is about to break through the sixth level of Qi training, and it is said that she can enter the later stage of Qi training at any time.
Shu Chitu smiled bitterly.
"Senior brother, how can I have that ability?"
"Many of the spells practiced in the sect are the skills of human monks, and we, the demon clan, have none."
" I searched for a long time in the black market and the market, but I still couldn’t find a demon method that suits my compatibility.”
"Originally, my little brother worked hard to earn spiritual stones in the black market, just to stock up on enough talismans. During the competition, he would brush up each diamond talisman to save his life."
Shu Chitu looked around, and his voice suddenly dropped.
“I don’t know which grandson who gave birth to a son without an asshole suggested to the sect master that the competition should be based on real ability, but he banned the talisman.”
“He also said that he was afraid that the disciples would take action. The foundation was destroyed, so a steel formation was set up on the ground!"
"What the hell..." Shu Chitu was obviously driven into a rage and cursed, "In that case, why can't you use the magic weapon? Where is the elixir? ”
He has many talismans and his magical power can penetrate the ground. These two regulations have blocked him.
Shu Chitu finally lowered his head, wanting to cry but without tears.
"I'm afraid something is wrong with me in this competition."
"I hope that senior brother will remember to collect the body for me for the sake of our ten-year friendship."
He Pass the storage bag to Lu Ye.
"My little brother's savings over the years are all in it, and they will be used as funeral expenses for my senior brother."
"I like the excitement. Please call some Kun Xiu from Chunfeng Tower to dance a few songs for me when the time comes."
Lu Ye did not accept the storage bag, but after thinking for a moment, he took out a turtle shell from his own storage bag, casually changed the restrictions, and handed it to Shu Chitu.
This thing
“This protective magic weapon is very sharp, but it also consumes a lot of mana. When you encounter a life or death crisis, it can protect your life.”
< br>
"I remember that you have prepared a lot of elixirs to restore your mana. When the time comes, you will take a lot of supplements. Later, you will slowly eliminate the erysipelas. You must pass this level first."
Shu Red Earth opened the jade When he saw the box, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed in surprise.
“Senior brother’s great kindness will be unforgettable by me.”
“I will be reincarnated as a mouse in my next life, and I will always live around my senior brother’s house...”
Lu Ye: “ …”
Thank you so much, it’s not necessary.
Wang Hu chuckled from the side.
"Senior Brother Shu, if you say so, I will be reincarnated as the eldest brother and second brother in the next life. I will raise a tabby cat and chase you every day..."
Shu Chitu: "..."< br>
The four of them joked with each other and felt much more relaxed.
Lu Ye did not ask about the situation of Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi again because he knew that the two foster brothers relied on enough spiritual stones to reach the third level of Qi training.
Among the outer disciples, he is not at the top, but he is not at the bottom either. He cannot compete for the top spot, but he does not have to worry about his life.
And that day, the female robbery cultivator was robbed, and two magical artifacts were taken out from the storage bag. One was a black iron bowl, and the other was a pyrotechnic copper bell. Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi each got it. One.
These two magical weapons are used by monks in the late stage of Qi training, and they are enough to protect the two of them.
"Brother," Shu Chitu's worries about his life were greatly reduced, his mood became better, and he immediately started gossiping, "Have you heard?"
"Senior brother Zhu Jian is unlucky again."
Lu Ye made a strange sound and asked how to get unlucky.
Shu Chitu looked at no one around and whispered.
“I don’t know which demon Brother Zhu Jian offended. He was practicing summoning magic a few nights ago.”
“Everyone nearby heard the angry voice of a demon shouting in their souls— —You are Zhu Jian, the eagle of Ba Guo!”
"Then there was a loud bang, and Senior Brother Zhu Jian's cave was razed to the ground!"
"Thanks to the Taoist companion he lived with, he had a powerful magic weapon that protected his body and spiritual consciousness and drove him away. Demon."
"But Senior Brother Zhu is miserable and has fallen to the fifth level of Qi training again. This is the second time."
"The first time is the Black Cave Secret Realm. The black evil wind turned on."
Shu Chitu touched his chin.
"Why is this so evil?"
Lu Ye smiled calmly, hiding his merit and fame.
Wang Hu laughed with a strange yin and yang aura.
"Is there anything strange about this? Senior Brother Zhu Jian will fight against the Sixth Convict!"
"As long as he cultivates from the fifth level to the seventh level in one go, he will be fine."
Zhang Cunyi gave a thumbs up.
"Second brother, what a good idea."
Shu Chitu: "..."
While speaking, the four of them had already arrived at the venue in front of the Taoist temple.
Not long after, all the inner and outer sect disciples arrived. The inner sect disciples in light black robes were in front, and the outer sect disciples in dark black robes were behind.
Lu Ye saw Zhu Jian in the crowd. His face was pale, his eyes were black, his energy was listless, and he looked like he was seriously injured.
He glanced at it twice and then looked no further. Senior Brother Zhu Jian was in trouble. It was just as the second brother said, fighting against the six criminals.
I don’t know if I can reach the sixth level of Qi training in my lifetime.
He looked forward.
In front of the Taoist temple, Mo Ruyan is the leader, Wu Feng is behind, and there are four elders on both sides.
There were also a hundred servants standing silently outside the venue. The bell rang three times and then stopped.
Everyone was silent and looked forward quietly.
Mo Ruyan took a step forward and said coldly.
"Disciples, I said that the day I entered my Xuanmo Sect."
"During the internal competition, someone will die and be eliminated."
"No need to say more today, everyone will see the real results."
She waved her hand, and Wu Feng stepped forward and coughed. .
“I, a disciple of the Demon Sect, do not need to pay so much attention. This competition should be rough rather than detailed.”
“Each elder’s sect competes with the same sect, and the elders select the candidates in order of competition. , catch each other and fight each other in order."
"Those who are not as skilled as others can admit defeat directly, and the losers will fight again until the final loser is eliminated."
"In order, they are the disciples of Elder Xi, Elder Du, Elder Tong and Elder Tang, and the inner disciples The order of the competition is determined by drawing lots."
"You can go all out during the competition, and the door leader and I will protect your lives."
"We will comprehensively select the eliminated candidates. . ”
“Then the outer sect disciples will compete for the four spots in the inner sect. Those who have the courage and confidence can give it a try and draw lots until the last four winners are selected.”
"You need to know that cultivation of the Great Dao depends on oneself and luck, so I am here to wish you all good luck today!"
"In addition, there are rewards for the top three in the inner sect and the top four in the outer sect. "
"When I recruited disciples, I didn't expect that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would revive, and all the disciples would practice much faster than usual."
"Now it seems that there are more than four outer disciples. Cultivating to the fourth level of Qi training and above."
"After discussing with the elders, the top four will be promoted directly to the inner sect, but the remaining fourth level Qi training disciples will need to go through the Black Cave Secret Realm. , you can become an inner disciple only if you come back alive.”
"That's about it."
The disciples below all looked ugly.
Wu Feng seems to have said so much, but the core meaning is twofold.
The competition between the outer disciples is relatively casual. It is not the core true disciple of Xuanmo Sect anyway. Just finish the competition quickly and select four unlucky dead ghosts.
The master has great authority and can designate two people to fight. If the master usually dislikes you, he will give you a strong hand.
You can throw in the towel and hope to find a less powerful opponent.
You can also fight hard and lose with all your injuries, fearing that you will still be a loser in the end against other losers.
If you are unlucky, you may end up in last place. Then it will depend on your luck.
If the two sect masters and four elders think you are not good enough, you are dead.
As for the competition for the quota of inner sect disciples, the rules are much more cautious and turned into drawing lots. This is the highlight. After all, the inner sect disciples are considered the core of Xuanmo Sect.
What Wu Feng said about relying on oneself and relying on luck mainly refers to this. If the first and second strongest players accidentally get drawn and collide, the people behind will have a chance.
Anyway, the inner gate only accepts four final winners, but here strength and luck are both indispensable.
There are also more disciples in the outer sect who are above the fourth level of qi training than when they first established the rules. Therefore, it is decided that the first four will be passed through, and the remaining disciples will need to go through the Black Cave Secret Realm and come back alive before they can be promoted.
The disciples discussed in private, and there was a constant buzzing sound.
Mo Ruyan's sharp eyes swept across the audience, and his voice stopped immediately.
"Do you understand everything?"
"Okay, let's start in front of this Taoist temple!"
She gave the order, and the servants moved the huge rocks.
Mo Ruyan, Wu Feng and the four elders all sat cross-legged.
All the disciples dispersed, leaving the field empty. Tang Yijie took out a series of disks in his hand to input magic power.
Immediately, a layer of light shield rose from the ground. Inside the light shield, the bluestone on the ground was covered with a layer of metallic light.
But the Steel Rock Formation and the Dharma Protector Formation have been activated, so that the disciples inside can use their magic to fight without worrying about affecting the spectators outside.
In the first round, it was Xiao Huanxi’s men who fought first.
Little Huanxi did not change her cool and cool dress even in today's competition. Her peach blossom eyes glanced at the more than ten disciples under her sect.
Seeing Lu Ye and Shu Chitu frown, they immediately chuckled.
"Fourth, fifth, you two go up first and set an example for everyone!"
Lu Ye and Shu Chitu cursed in their hearts, "Slut."
The two men had no choice but to step forward and enter the formation. With a flash of their waistbands, they seemed to have passed through a wave of waves and entered the formation effortlessly.
The two stood at each other's feet, cupped their hands, and bent down.
“Fifth Junior Brother, please!”
"Fourth Senior Brother, please!"
As soon as Lu Ye raised his hand, Shu Chitu said simply.
"Admit defeat! Master, I admit defeat!"
Anyway, according to the rules of the competition, you can admit defeat, and you can play against others later.
He is not ashamed of losing to Lu Ye. He has a very good relationship with his fourth senior brother. If he goes crazy, he will fight first to make his relatives happy and his enemies happy.
An evil spirit flashed in Xiao Huanxi's eyes.
“Get out, you useless thing!”
“Fourth brother, since your muscles and bones haven’t moved, then you can fight with your second senior brother!”
Shu Chitu ran out of the formation in despair.
In the crowd, Hua Ming was holding a sword and his face was ashen, but he simply did not enter the magic circle and shouted directly.
"Master, disciple, admit defeat!"
Lu Ye noticed that the magical sword in Hua Ming's hand was not the one he used to go up the mountain. It should be far inferior to the original sword.
It turns out that the magical sword was still given to Chunfeng Tower and was not redeemed.
After several years of not seeing each other, Hua Ming became more and more haggard. As a swordsman, his back was bent.
He admitted defeat and was also cleaning up.
A trace of anger flashed across Xiao Huanxi's face. The two useless disciples actually gave up.
She turned to look at Gu Changqing.
"You are senior brother, go and teach your fourth junior brother!"
Gu Changqing bowed and said yes, and walked slowly out of the crowd.
He really didn’t get this name for nothing. I don’t know if he is gifted. He has been picked by Xiao Huanxi for nine years, but he didn’t become a drug dregs.
"Fourth Junior Brother, it's still too late for you to admit defeat now." Gu Changqing pressed the hilt of the sword and slowly advised.
