"Third Miss, with the strength of you and Hou Qingning, there was still some suspense in passing the inner sect disciple examination three days ago... The reason why you were able to pass smoothly is because the elder Bailong in charge of your examination, Dongfang Yannian, is mine. Friend, so I asked him to show mercy.”
This is what Duan Lingtian said directly to Murong Yinyue, the third lady of the Murong family.
After the words fell, when Murong Yinyue was stunned, Duan Lingtian continued: "So, if you don't want to be at the bottom because of losing the Qianlong Competition, I suggest you ask your father to borrow a high-grade artifact."
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Murong Yinyue also completely came to her senses and responded continuously: "Okay, I will ask my father to lend Hou Qingning a high-grade artifact."
"It's not for Hou Qingning, it's for yourself."
While Duan Lingtian was speechless because of Murong Yinyue's words, he also felt that Hou Qingning was lucky to have found someone who really liked him. If he didn't really like him, he wouldn't have thought about him in advance.
"But, he also needs a high-grade artifact."
Murong Yinyue said: "Although he and I may not play at the same time, we are afraid of being unlucky and playing at the same time. In that case, a high-grade artifact can only be used by one person."
"My father is not the only one of the top executives of the Murong Family who came this time to have a high-grade artifact, but the clan elder next to him also has a high-grade artifact... However, the clan elder's high-grade artifact has been lent to Brother Hanlin. "
Murong Yinyue said this and wanted to continue, but was directly interrupted by Duan Lingtian, "He has a high-grade artifact in his hand. I have lent it to him. You don't need to worry about him."
"Just take care of yourself now."
Duan Lingtian said.
"But you..."
Murong Yinyue hesitated.
"Don't forget the rules of the Qianlong Competition."
Duan Lingtian smiled and said: "Do you think those ten Tianlong Sect inner sect elders are just watching the showdown each other to watch the excitement? They will write down everyone's strength to prepare for the list of duels later."
"It's impossible to face a strong person in the front."
"In other words, the opponents I met before are far inferior to me. Even if I don't use high-grade artifacts, I can easily defeat them."
As soon as Duan Lingtian said these words, Murong Yinyue suddenly realized, "I understand, I will go and borrow the high-grade artifact from my father."
"Actually, my father also sent a message just now, saying that he would lend me a high-grade artifact, but he warned me not to lend it to Hou Qingning, so as not to delay myself... He would only be willing to lend it to me if I agreed to his request."
Murong Yinyue said with a bitter smile.
"Murong's behavior is understandable."
Duan Lingtian smiled and said, "Just tell him that if you borrow a high-grade artifact from him, you will use it yourself and will not give it to Hou Qingning. If he still hesitates, tell him that I lent the high-grade artifact in my hand to Hou Qingning."
"If he asks about the origin of the high-grade artifact in my hand, just say that it was lent to me by Linghu Huan, the elder of the Linghu family."
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Murong Yinyue went to find Murong Yunliu, the head of the Murong family. After a few breaths, Murong Yunliu also turned to look at Duan Lingtian frequently.
To Duan Lingtian's surprise, Murong Yunliu actually sent a message asking him if he had lent the high-grade artifact to Hou Qingning.
Duan Lingtian was a little dumbfounded by this.
Could it be that the head of the Murong family thought that his daughter was deceiving him?
Finally, with Duan Lingtian's confirmation, Murong Yunliu handed Murong Yinyue a Nai Ring... Obviously, like Duan Lingtian, he had also put the high-grade artifact into a Nai Ring in advance, and now he has canceled the gift. go out.
"Ding Yan."
Duan Lingtian sent a message to Ding Yan, "Do you have a high-grade artifact in your hand? In this Hidden Dragon Competition, those who have a high-grade artifact will have a greater advantage... If you don't have one, can I lend you one?"
"I have."
Ding Yan said: "I just asked Hou Qingning if he needed a high-grade artifact. If so, I would ask my Uncle Sikong to borrow a high-grade artifact... and he said you lent it to him."
"Duan Lingtian, it's not safe if you don't have a high-grade artifact in your hand. How about I lend you another one?"
Ding Yan asked.
"Need not."
Duan Lingtian shook his head, "I really want a high-grade artifact, and I don't need you to borrow it for me. This time, three elders of the Linghu family have come. Isn't it easy for me to borrow a high-grade artifact?"
"All right."
Ding Yan suddenly realized.
At the same time, the ten-party fight in the field had become lively. Twenty disciples of the outer sect were divided into ten groups and competed in pairs.
These outer sect disciples are basically high-ranking gods.
There were two god-kings and they won the victory easily.
As for the other eight high-ranking gods, they also defeated their opponents and won the victory after some struggle.
As long as someone from each party is defeated in the duel, two other names will appear immediately in the next moment, and the other two people will step forward to take over the duel, and then the duel will begin.
The showdowns dazzled the onlookers.
However, after all, he was just a disciple of the outer sect, and his strength was limited, so many people yawned and felt bored when he saw it... It felt like adults watching children fight.
Adults find it interesting when they watch adults fight.
But watching children fight can be boring.
It wasn't until a young man wearing a dark golden robe took action and defeated his opponent with one punch that a group of onlookers, including Duan Lingtian, became slightly more interested.
"This person's strength... is probably not weaker than Hou Qingning's."
Although the young man only threw one punch, the casualness of the punch and the burst of power reminded Duan Lingtian of Hou Qingning's performance in the previous Inner Sect disciples' entrance examination.
The opponent that the young man defeated was, like him, a lower-level god-king.
Defeating his opponent who is also a lower god king with one punch, no matter how weak the opponent is, is enough to prove that he is stronger than the average lower god king.
And almost at the same time Duan Lingtian's thoughts fell, many people watching were already talking about it:
"This is the third disciple of the God-King-level sect Qianyuan Sect. Zhao Pei, who is only five thousand years old, is already a lower-level God King, and his understanding of the laws and mysteries is not bad... He was selected in the previous audition. The person who was eliminated at that time was Ouyang Jianchen, the third young master of the God-Emperor-level Ouyang Family!"
"I remember the situation at that time. It seems that Zhao Pei was unlucky. He had the ability to pass the audition easily, but he was targeted by Ouyang Jianchen and was seriously injured. Even if he took the magic pill, he would not be able to recover in time."
"I thought he would just become a disciple of the outer sect... Now it seems that he has every chance of passing the Qianlong Competition and becoming a disciple of the inner sect again!"
…
After hearing these discussions, Duan Lingtian suddenly realized that this was the case.
Since then, everything is easier to explain.
Although he was also watching the audition at that time, his focus was more on Hua Tiandu, the young master of the Donghua Sect who participated in the audition with Ouyang Jianchen, and the seventh girl from the God King-level sect Wanhua Valley. He didn't even pay attention to Ouyang Jianchen.
"This Zhao Pei is very powerful."
Hou Qingning's face was solemn, and he obviously saw that Zhao Pei's strength was not inferior to his.
The Hidden Dragon Competition continues.
Later, several powerful outer sect disciples appeared one after another, who were expected to become inner sect disciples through the Qianlong Competition. They were all unlucky during the auditions and were seriously injured to a certain extent and had no time to recover.
time flies.
As the winners among the disciples of the outer sect advanced one by one, night gradually fell.
At this point, Black Dragon Elder Lan Yushan, who is responsible for presiding over the Qianlong Competition, announced that today's Qianlong Competition has officially ended and will continue tomorrow.
…
The second day.
The Hidden Dragon Competition continues.
On this day, towards the evening, more than 800 disciples of the outer sect finally decided on the 100 strongest people.
Although many disciples of the outer sect have never fought against each other, the disciples of the outer sect who are ranked behind are self-aware and know that they are no match for the other side. Even if they do attack, the other side will defeat him.
The ten inner sect elders of Tianlong Sect who were responsible for selecting and listing the duel list, as the middle-ranking God-Emperor, naturally had a clear view of the battle between a group of lower-level God-Kings and upper-level gods.
The list of duels they listed is the most reasonable.
There were nearly a thousand people involved, and no one questioned it.
"Tomorrow, today's top 100 disciples from the outer sect will compete with the disciples from the inner sect for the next Hidden Dragon Competition... We will strive to determine the strongest 100 people among the more than 400 people within three days."
As Black Dragon Elder Lan Yushan spoke, the day's Hidden Dragon Competition came to an end.
…
In the blink of an eye, the day passed.
Duan Lingtian and the other newly promoted inner sect disciples who had watched the excitement for two days finally needed to take the stage.
However, as one name after another appeared in the battle formation formed by the formation, Hou Qingning had appeared twice, but Duan Lingtian still did not see his name.
It's not just him.
Even the names of Du Pojun, the core disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, Hua Tiandu, the young master of the Donghua Sect, Miss Qi, a disciple of the Wanhua Valley, and Ouyang Jianchen, the third young master of the Ouyang family, did not appear.
There are also those who performed well in the auditions, but their names have not been revealed.
"It seems that our strength has been recognized, so we will be ranked later."
Duan Lingtian suddenly realized.
During this period, there were some people who had been low-key before. Because they had not shown up during the auditions, their names appeared in a certain competition.
For example, Ji Wuchang of the Hanchu Sect, although many people know that he is as famous as Hua Tiandu, he was still named to play because he did not show much strength in the audition.
However, as he casually defeated the opponent who was attacking with all his strength, he was not named again.
Only played once.
"It seems that showing your strength in the audition is not a bad thing... at least, you can save effort in the front and don't have to take action."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
"Ding Yan, why haven't you been named yet?"
As Hou Qingning's voice came, Duan Ling came back to his senses and suddenly remembered something...
That is:
Ding Yan, I didn’t mention anyone by name all day today.
Seeing the sunset in the sky, night is about to fall, and today's Hidden Dragon Competition is about to end, but Ding Yan's name still does not appear among the names that flashed in the competition.
"You weren't left out, were you?"
Hou Qingning frowned.
