At this moment, the situation in the arena suddenly changed.
Lin Maoshan struck out with a sharp sword light, but it was instantly resolved by the power of the opponent's Nascent Soul. Instead, the opponent seized the opportunity and slapped his chest with his palm. Although Lin Maoshan dodged in time, he was still swept by the wind from his palm. He flew backwards and fell heavily on the edge of the ring.
Fang Shixin’s face turned ugly and he was about to say something.
Li Mu just smiled faintly and said: "Fighting is the best teacher. Let him realize it by himself."
On the ring, Lin Maoshan struggled to stand up, he erased There was blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was about to use the Five Elements Escape Technique to avoid it, but the Yuan Ying disciple didn't give him a chance to resist, and blasted him off the ring with a Dragon Flame Technique.
"Chen Yang, win, Lin Maoshan, lose!"
As the referee announced, there was a brief silence around the ring, and everyone's eyes were focused on the young figure who had just been kicked off the stage.
“Jin Dan is too reluctant to Nascent Soul after all!”
“Lin Maoshan, I know who he is, he is one of the disciples of the sect master.”
“It turns out it’s him who has cultivated all five elements. No wonder he is as good as Senior Brother Chen in the Golden Core realm.”
...
There were discussions around the ring. Some people lamented the gap between Jindan and Nascent Soul, and some expressed appreciation for Lin Maoshan's strength... However, Lin Maoshan himself struggled. He sat up and thought about the battle just now. He looked at Chen Yang on the ring with regret in his eyes.
The defeat in this battle had little to do with the gap in his cultivation level, and more to do with the lack of strategy to deal with the enemy and the lack of combat experience.
Lin Maoshan turned to look at the master who was sitting at the main seat at the venue. By chance, he met his eyes and could not help but show a trace of shame on his face.
Li Mu smiled slightly and conveyed his message: "Back off! You have tried your best in this battle. Just practice hard in the future."
Li Mu's message flowed into Lin Maoshan's heart like a clear spring, calming his originally depressed mood. He took a deep breath, stood up, saluted respectfully to Li Mu, and then silently walked to the ring to watch the other disciples. Competition.
On each of the eighteen stages, there are two Nascent Soul disciples competing.
Soon, Lin Maoshan saw several familiar figures, namely Zhao Tianchen, Ji Hao, and Su Hongxiu, who were apprenticed to Li Mu at the same time as him.
A hundred years have passed, and they have all successfully advanced to Nascent Soul.
Zhao Tianchen has metal spiritual roots, Su Hongxiu has fire-attribute heavenly roots, and Ji Hao has earth-attribute heavenly roots. With their respective spiritual root talents, they are flying fast on the road of cultivation, better than him. He has entered the realm of Yuanying earlier and has reached the middle stage of Yuanying. The next realm is not far away.
The Yuanying disciple who fought against Zhao Tianchen was a late-stage Yuanying disciple. He was good at wood spells. As soon as the battle began, he cast a large spell - Green Wood Winding.
On the arena, countless green vines surged out from the ground, like living creatures, covering Zhao Tianchen in thousands and wrapping around him.
However, Zhao Tianchen's expression did not change and he responded calmly, holding a golden long sword, which was extremely sharp. In an instant, countless green wood spirits fell like rain.
Zhao Tianchen seems to be a natural swordsman, with a clear heart and sharp sword intention. Any moves made by the opponent are like nothing in front of him. His figure is like the wind, and he shuttles freely among the vines. The golden sword The light drew beautiful arcs in the air, and the sword light flashed, accompanied by a crisp slashing sound.
The face of the Nascent Soul disciple who was good at wood spells changed drastically. He repeatedly used various spells but failed to achieve success. Obviously, he did not expect Zhao Tianchen's sword skills to be so sharp.
The disciples of Yuanying hurriedly released a defensive magic weapon, activated the wood seal magic weapon, mobilized the spiritual power in the body, and condensed the Qingyuan magic cage, trying to trap Zhao Tianchen.
However, Zhao Tianchen had already seen through his intention. He moved and swung the golden sword in his hand, and a dazzling sword light went straight towards the Yuanying disciple.
The Yuan Ying disciple turned pale with fright and hurriedly used the Wood Escape Technique to avoid it.
But Zhao Tianchen's swordsmanship was too sharp, and the sword light followed him closely like a shadow. Finally, with a scream, the Nascent Soul disciple was hit by the sword light and fell on the ring.
Zhao Tianchen put away his sword and stood, looking calmly at his opponent who fell on the ground, and calmly raised his hand: "Junior brother, I accept."
"Senior Brother Zhao, I'm convinced that I lost!" The other party smiled bitterly, stood up and held his hands in his hands.
"In this battle, Zhao Tianchen wins and Qing Mingzi loses!" the referee elder who presided over the comparison declared masterfully.
"It's amazing! Senior Brother Qing actually lost. This Senior Brother Zhao can definitely compete for the top three."
"This Senior Brother Zhao is so strange! Is he a new member of the sect?"
“Senior Sister Ning, you don’t know this. This Senior Brother Zhao is also from the sect leader’s lineage and has never been active in the sect.”
"Yes! Several senior brothers and sisters from the sect leader's lineage are very powerful. It is said that they have all achieved the Nascent Soul Realm within a hundred years. By the way, except for Junior Brother Lin, he has cultivated all five elements simultaneously. He is a little slower, but he is still in the middle stage of the Golden Core. "
" Are they all so powerful? "
"There are still fake ones, Senior Sister Su in the 3rd Arena, Senior Brother Ji in the 6th Arena, and others in the 11th Arena. Senior Brother Xiao who came to the stage, they are all from the lineage of the sect master!"
"Yes! They were only in the Qi Refining Stage when they became disciples, and now they have reached the Yuanying Realm, which is really enviable to us."
……
The disciples watching the battle below the ring were talking a lot, marveling at Zhao Tianchen's strength and sharp swordsmanship. Some disciples who had no contact with Zhao Tianchen on weekdays looked at him with admiration. At the same time, the topic gradually turned to the Seven Xuan Sect - The lineage of the clan leader.
Several disciples from the sect leader's lineage performed extremely well in this disciple competition. The number of true disciple positions is already very small, and I am afraid that a large part of them will be occupied by them.
"Sect Master, you are really a good believer. In just a hundred years, Lin Maoshan, who has cultivated the Five Elements, has been promoted to the late stage of Jindan. Zhao Tianchen, Su Hongxiu, Liu Yuqian and others have also been promoted to the Nascent Soul realm. Each of them is extremely powerful. Excellent, Zhao Tianchen should be able to advance to another level in a hundred years, and it won't take too long to become a god." Fang Shixin gently stroked his long beard and looked at Li Mu and praised him sincerely.
Li Mu tapped his forehead, but did not give a clear response. After all, this matter was not his fault, but the teachings of several divine clones.
However, Li Mu also saw that several divine clones had taught him several skills, such as the Soul Devouring Body Cultivation Technique, Nebula Observation Ideas, Xuantian Sword Formation, and so on from Zhao Tianchen , Ji Hao and the others can see some signs from their fights with their opponents. However, they only have the cultivation level of Nascent Soul Realm. The power of these high-level techniques has not been revealed, and their practice is not good enough.
Seeing this, Li Mu frowned, a little dissatisfied with the leakage of this technique. However, the divine clone is a part of his true self, and what they learn and know comes from his own knowledge. , if they don’t teach these, they really can’t teach these disciples.
Forget it! It's too late to blame now.
These skills are of high level and difficult to practice. Once they are passed on, they will be passed on. Let’s see how far they can go!
Many thoughts flashed through Li Mu's mind, and he continued to pay attention to this disciple competition, watching the surprises that several disciples showed him one after another on the ring.
Time flies, and three days pass in the blink of an eye. The Qixuan Sect disciples gradually get better and better, and the decisive battle for the top twelve begins.
The finals finally kicked off. Six disciples, Zhao Tianchen, Su Hongxiu, Liu Yuqian, Ji Hao, Xiao Qingyun, and Zhong Yuling, representing the lineage of the sect master, all entered the finals, and the opponents they faced were , they all come from the most powerful beings from the seven main peaks.
Zhao Tianchen is holding a gold long sword, the tip of the sword is trembling slightly, and the sword intention is sharp. The idea of nebula observation he has practiced has been quite effective. There is a unique rhythm in the sword energy, which makes people dare not Underestimating, suppressing the opponent and being unable to counterattack, he gained the upper hand as soon as the battle began.
Ji Hao, on the other hand, was dressed in black. He had already reached a certain level in the soul-devouring body-building technique. With a black epee and skillful earth escape techniques, he was seen moving quickly on the ring. , sword energy criss-crosses, and the added gravity makes the opponent exhausted. Victory is only a matter of time
Zhong Yuling is dressed in white. The skills she practices are mainly illusions, supplemented by ice spells. , in the ring, she is like an elegant dancer, with every step accompanied by the flickering of ice crystals and the changing illusions. Her opponent gradually became disoriented and at a loss under her illusions, but Zhong Yuling took the opportunity to activate ice spells, freezing her opponent in the ice, and easily won the game.
Zhong Yuling, who studied under Xue'er, showed her strong strength and talent, cleverly combining illusions and ice spells to create eye-catching fighting techniques.
Su Hongxiu wears a red dress and is good at controlling fire. Her fire spells are as intense and blazing as a fire phoenix. In the ring, she was like a goddess controlling flames. Her red skirt fluttered in the wind, and fire dragons emerged one after another. They were driven by the Nine Dragons Immortal Killing Formation, trapping the opponent in the formation, and successfully defeated her in one fell swoop.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, the fire dragon and the sword energy intertwined, bursting out with dazzling light. Under this blow, the opponent was swallowed up by the flames, and was completely defeated.
......
Time flies. Li Mu's six disciples all performed extremely well in the ring. With their respective talents and skills, they defeated their opponents one after another and won the game. victory.
"Xiao Qingyun Hongxiu vs. Zhao Tianchen!"
"Zhong Yuling vs. Ji Hao!"
"Liu Yuqian vs. Su Hongxiu!"
The winner will be determined with the first six finals , Alchemist Xin presided over the competition and announced loudly.
"Master, I am no match for Senior Brother Zhao, I surrender!" Xiao Qingyun glanced at Zhao Tianchen and gestured helplessly to Li Mu.
"Master, I am no match for Senior Sister Zhong, and I will admit defeat!" Ji Hao put the black epee on his back and asked Li Mu for instructions.
"Master, uh, my skills have been restrained by Senior Sister Su, so I have to admit defeat!" Liu Yuqian asked Li Mu for instructions with an embarrassed look on her face. She originally thought that she could continue to advance, but she didn't expect to meet Su. Red sleeves.
"Sect Master, this!" Fang Shixin was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to encounter this situation and couldn't help but look at Li Mu for his decision.
"You guys don't need to compete. Zhao Tianchen is first, Su Hongxiu is second, Zhong Yuling is third, Ji Hao is fourth, Xiao Qingyun is fifth, and Liu Yuqian is sixth! Do you have any objections?" Li Mu looked at Six people, arranged.
“Master, you are wise!”
The six people responded in unison. They knew very well that the ranking given by the master was fair and reasonable, and was completely based on their strength. The master was worthy of being a master, and he could see through their details at a glance.
"Elder Fang, let's leave the competition as it is. Let them decide the other two places later." Li Mu looked at Fang Shixin and ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu thought, and took out a large number of spiritual weapons from the Jiuzang Spirit Pearl. The spiritual objects: nearly a hundred fourth- and fifth-level spiritual swords of different colors, and hundreds of fourth- and fifth-level battle puppets. , dozens of stacks of fourth- and fifth-level spiritual talismans, hundreds of bottles of spiritual elixirs,..., the aura was shining and colorful, and it suddenly attracted the attention of all the disciples.
After advancing to the Void Refining Realm, the fourth and fifth level spiritual talismans, elixirs, and spiritual weapons are no longer of much use to Li Mu. Taking advantage of this disciple competition, Li Mu plans to distribute them as a disciple. their rewards.
"Elder Fang, these spiritual weapons and spiritual objects are the extra rewards I have prepared for the disciples of our sect this time. It is up to you to arrange them!" Li Mu looked at Fang Shixin with a smile and gestured.
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Fang Shixin took the spiritual weapons and spiritual objects handed over by Li Mu with a look of surprise on his face, put them into the storage ring, and said respectfully: "I will allocate these reasonably according to the performance and needs of the disciples. Reward."
"Why are you standing still! Why don't you thank the sect master!"
After saying that, Fang Shixin turned to look at the sect disciples and said.
Hearing this, all the sect disciples were shocked. They bowed to Li Mu in unison and shouted: "Thank you, sect master, for the generous gift!"
The Yuanying disciples of the seven sects Their faces were filled with excitement and gratitude. Although these spiritual weapons and spiritual objects were no longer of great use to Li Mu, they were undoubtedly extremely precious cultivation resources for them. Their enthusiasm was high and they were extremely grateful to Li Mu for his generosity.
Li Mu smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over the disciples one by one, and finally stopped at Zhao Tianchen and the other six, and said: "As the best in this competition, you six are the hope for the future of the sect. I hope you can cherish this opportunity, practice hard, and bring glory to the sect.”
Hearing this, Zhao Tianchen and others stepped forward, bowed deeply to Li Mu, and said, “Disciples will definitely live up to the high expectations of the sect master. , practice hard and bring glory to the sect!”
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, turned his eyes to Lin Maoshan, who looked lonely in the corner, and ordered a few people: “Maoshan has been practicing hard because of his martial arts, and he has gained more experience. "Young master, you need to give him more guidance while practicing."
Hearing this, Zhao Tianchen and others turned to look at Lin Maoshan in the corner. They knew that Lin Maoshan was cultivating the five elements together because of his merit. He has special skills and rarely goes out for training, which also makes him slightly lacking in combat experience.
"Disciple, obey!" Zhao Tianchen and others responded in unison.
Lin Maoshan originally looked lonely, but after hearing Li Mu's words, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes.
Li Mu smiled and nodded, turned to look at Fang Shixin, and signaled: "Elder Fang, I leave the sect's trivial matters to you. Next, I have something to do and need to leave for a while."
< br>"Sect Master, please rest assured, I will make appropriate arrangements." Fang Shixin replied respectfully.
Li Mu nodded, then disappeared in a flash. (End of this chapter)
