Looking at those empty venues, confusion flashed in Gu Chen's eyes.
There were also many people who were puzzled by him. They were all promoted from disciples of the Shanmen to official disciples of the Qingyang Clan this year. Other than that, most people disagreed with this.
Gu Chen was even more puzzled.
If those venues are of no use after being laid out, wouldn’t it be better not to lay them out in the first place?
Arranging such a venue is naturally nothing to the immortal cultivator. Just arranging one less place can save a lot of effort, which is much better than doing this useless work.
"The Qingyang Competition is held every year. The disciples in the sect are divided into three groups, namely the mountain sect disciples, ordinary disciples and elite disciples. These three groups are divided into the Alchemy Realm, the Lingyuan Realm and the One Yuan Realm. There are three competition venues, which correspond to the nine venues present." Liu Zhen suddenly spoke softly, seeming to see Gu Chen's doubts, "It's just that the disciples of the mountain sect had just obtained the practice skills and got rid of the disciples of the mountain sect. Identity, the improvement of cultivation level in a short period of time is limited, at most it can only break through to the Refining Realm and reach the Spiritual Realm, but even if it is only improved by one realm, the cultivation speed is not slow."
Gu Chen nodded, vaguely understanding the reason, and then heard Liu Zhen continue.
"If I could break through to the One Yuan Realm before the Qingyang Competition after realizing the Stone, I would have been able to become an elite disciple of our sect with such qualifications, and I would no longer be able to stand out from the group of disciples of the mountain sect. Unless When you encounter a reward you particularly want, you can also choose to stay in the group of disciples of the mountain sect to ensure a greater chance of winning. Even if you are already a disciple of the mountain sect, it is within the rules to assign yourself to that group, but most of the time, Qing The rewards from the Yang Dabi competition did not benefit the group of disciples from the mountain sect back then, but other rewards were generous enough for them."
Liu Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said: "The reward for this competition is the Green God Pill. If the quantity is greater, if someone from the mountain sect disciples not long ago breaks through to the One Yuan Realm, they will also ask to stay in the same place as the mountain sect disciples." Unfortunately, there are only five in the group, so that group has no share, but there are other rewards."
Gu Chen understood that there was a lot of room for flexibility within the rules. Although the venues were empty, they were arranged in order to reflect the rules.
"The other thing is the difference between ordinary disciples and elite disciples. The two groups mainly look at their qualifications and age. There are many people in the ordinary disciple group who have higher cultivation than those in the elite group, but at the same time they are also older. It has taken too long to cultivate to this level, and you are not qualified to stand and sit with those elite disciples. Among all the ordinary disciples of our sect, those who have not reached the Lingyuan realm are not qualified to participate in the Qingyang Competition. Unless the disciples of the mountain sect made a breakthrough in their cultivation back then, they were voluntarily divided into the group of ordinary disciples. Therefore, in the group of ordinary disciples in previous years, only people with cultivation levels in the Lingyuan realm and the Yiyuan realm were included. There are several groups of disciples from the mountain sect, but each one has a spiritual realm of cultivation, which makes the group of ordinary disciples seem much more lively. As soon as they come on stage, they will definitely attract a lot of attention."
The people Liu Zhen was talking about were naturally referring to Xu Mushan and others.
Strictly speaking, Xu Mushan did not pass the level of disciple at all. She was directly accepted by Ai Ling as a disciple. She did not belong to the group of disciples back then.
Gu Chen couldn't help but worry. Xu Mushan's opponents would be at a higher level this way, and he didn't know if she could cope with them.
It's just that Xu Mushan's beautiful eyes are always lingering on him, and the girl doesn't seem to have figured out her situation yet.
Liu Zhen said again: "This year's Qingyang Competition has generous rewards. The elite group of the five Qingshen Pills will get three, and the group of ordinary disciples will get two. Junior Sister Xu is assigned to the venue in the Lingyuan Realm, so she can It is said that it is just for the last Green God Pill, and the chance of winning is not small, and she made a lot of noise when Wushi was there, so there is no need to worry about her."
Gu Chen's heart moved. He looked at Liu Zhen and could feel the strong fighting spirit in Liu Zhen.
"Senior Brother Gu, you can't lose before you meet me."
Gu Chen smiled and nodded: "If you want to fight me, you can't lose."
Liu Zhen said seriously: "I will not lose."
When he said this, Liu Zhen looked at Qingyangzi, with a strong emotion brewing in his chest, as if he was eager to prove something.
He let out a long breath and looked at the crowd of people in the audience, and the emotion became even stronger.
"The Qingyang Competition is an annual grand event of the Qingyang Sect. Only Qingyang Sect disciples have always been eligible to participate."
Gu Chen's heart moved, and he looked down at the person speaking, and could feel the tit-for-tat of the other person.
I saw the opponent raising his sword and shouting: "But in this year's Qingyang Competition, besides my Qingyang Sect disciples, there is an outsider."
Gu Chen looked at that man.
The man's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "What qualifications do you have to participate in the Qingyang Competition? Let me, Liu Yun, see what qualifications you have!"
Seeing Gu Chen's indifferent expression, Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and shouted directly: "Gu Chen, do you dare to fight with me?"
Liu Zhen sneered, stepped forward, and landed on the field one step ahead of Gu Chen, saying: "If you want to challenge Senior Brother Gu, you must pass me first."
Liu Yun's face darkened and he shouted: "Junior Brother Liu, what do you mean? The person I want to challenge is not you!"
Liu Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Don't you dare?"
Gu Chen was speechless, feeling the disdainful glances from around him, and remained silent.
He had no intention of avoiding the battle, he just felt fresh about that feeling for a while. When he was on Kunlun Mountain, no one except Li Yuanmu had ever dared to challenge him in public. Even Li Yuanmu was not challenging, but asking for advice.
It took Gu Chen some time to recall that feeling, and he realized that he was no longer on Kunlun Mountain. However, he did not expect that this delay would cause misunderstandings. What he did not expect was that Liu Zhen He actually ended up taking over for him.
The person challenging me is me, why are you anxious?
Gu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but there was no change in his expression.
Liu Zhen's words made Liu Yun angry. He stretched his sword in front of him and said: "Junior brother Liu, although you have become a disciple of Elder Qingyangzi, do you think that you are qualified to fight with me?"
Liu Zhen didn't reply. He only had the sword in his eyes and the sword in his hand.
Liu Yun's expression was slightly condensed, and he actually felt a little pressure from Liu Zhen.
Liu Yun quickly rushed forward to strike first.
Sword shadows flashed across the sky, and what Liu Yun learned was actually the Han Xi Inviting Moon Technique.
That move was exactly "Green Mountain, Bright Moon, Sword Climbing into the Sky", but Liu Yun had a different flavor when he used it.
The sword shadows all over the sky fell from a high place, like a bright moon falling.
The crowd exclaimed, because Liu Yun obviously used all his strength, and with his cultivation in the Lingyuan realm, he was not merciful to Liu Zhen at all.
Liu Zhen was already well-known when he was still a disciple of the mountain sect. Everyone knew that he had just left the identity of a disciple of the mountain sect not long ago. In other words, Liu Zhen's cultivation had only broken through to the Lingyuan realm not long ago. How could he be compared with Compared with Liu Yun?
In addition, the reason that caused the crowd to scream was Liu Zhen's attitude.
Facing Liu Yun's sword shadow all over the sky, Liu Zhen turned a blind eye, and only the three-foot green edge in his eyes could be seen in his eyes.
A sword across his chest.
A simple and unpretentious sword was suddenly handed out, simple, abrupt but logical.
The sword hit the sword shadow that filled the sky. As soon as Fang made contact, the sword shadow collapsed.
The sword was still lying across Liu Zhen's chest at first, but now it was lying across Liu Yun's neck.
Liu Yun held the sword, but remained motionless. His sword was still in his hand, still some distance away from Liu Zhen, but Liu Zhen's sword was already on his neck, and there was a chill in the place where it met.
In the high-level judgment, Liu Yun lost without any suspense, and Liu Zhen won without any sloppiness. It’s just that the victory or defeat was so simple, but many people couldn’t understand it. Even Liu Yun didn’t know how he lost. .
"I...I lost..."
It was a bit difficult to say this sentence, and Liu Yun felt weak all over.
Liu Zhen sheathed his sword, shook his head and said, "You are far worse than Senior Brother Gu."
