The first round is all over, and all the 1,000 places to participate in the second round are available. As expected, Cheng Ling, Wu Chenlong, Bai Yiyi, and Gu Youlan all passed the first round smoothly.
I heard that Bai Yiyi's group was the most competitive. That girl almost crippled most of the disciples in the Fa Dao Academy, which was really shocking.
As soon as she entered the secret realm, she got a clearance token. Originally, I wanted to hide quietly in a corner and wait for the time to end. Who knew that the disciples of the Fa Daoyuan were ignorant and organized several waves of people to snatch it.
Now, I've stirred a hornet's nest. Bai Yiyi's combat power was already in the mid-30s during the last competition. Over the past year or so, her sword intent has increased to 50%, her water conception has reached 70%, and her true energy is so pure that it's frightening. How can those disciples be her opponents?
The court's continuous provocations completely aroused her anger. In the end, he simply stopped hiding and went straight out, beating the disciples of the Fa Daoyuan whenever he saw them. In the entire first batch of detachments, there were less than five disciples who had passed the Fa Daoyuan, and they were all snatched away by her.
As soon as the statistical results came out afterwards, Sun Yuanliang, the president of the Law Academy, turned pale and was speechless for a long time. He couldn't blame Bai Yiyi. Who made his disciple turn his back and provoke others first?
Those disciples are all idiots. If you want to rob, you should choose a disciple with a good temper. Why bother with that girl?
This was because he had misunderstood those disciples. It was Cheng Maofa's order to snatch Bai Yiyi. When I was in the square, I saw her standing with Gu Youlan and Cheng Ling, and I felt unhappy.
Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan are famous beauties in the Famous Sword Academy. Many disciples admire them, and so does Cheng Maofa. However, he is not very attracted to Bai Yiyi's straightforward temperament, and still prefers a cold girl like Gu Youlan. This is also the reason why Bai Yiyi is besieged by many disciples of the Fa Dao Academy.
According to the ranking of the last competition, Bai Yiyi's combat power was below Gu Youlan, and several of the first batch of disciples were ranked above her. I thought it shouldn't be difficult to snatch the token, but unexpectedly, the opponent's combat power increased greatly. Those disciples who ranked in the dozen or so in the previous session were no match, and most of them were lost.
Jian Wuya laughed heartily and felt very happy. This girl Yiyi really has a clear distinction between love and hate. If you offend her, it doesn't matter who you are, knock them all down!
Originally, the disciples of the Fa Dao Academy in the first group were the strongest, but they all fell into the hands of Bai Yiyi. The second and third detachments were as usual, and the number of disciples who had passed the level was higher than that of the Kendo Academy and the Martial Arts Academy.
But after counting the four batches of disciples, the number of disciples from the Fa Dao Academy who finally passed the first round and entered the arena competition was almost the same. The three major branches were evenly divided, and no one could take advantage.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fa Dao Yuan is definitely at a disadvantage. Because the disciples with high-end combat power have suffered too much, this competition is likely to encounter a Waterloo.
The master of the martial arts academy, Wu Qiankun, came to Jian Wuya's side, secretly gave a thumbs up, and said: "Master of the sword academy, your niece's combat power has improved by leaps and bounds. She has great hope of entering the top ten!"
Jian Wuya laughed and said: "Master Wu, thank you. This girl has been uncertain all day long. But she has become more enlightened in the past year. Her sword intention and artistic conception have made great progress. She can compete with the top ten disciples." Let’s fight!”
Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan were both abandoned babies picked up by Jian Wuhai, the top master of the Kendo Academy, who brought them back to the academy and regarded them as their own daughters. Bai Yiyi was born to be independent, so she was taught by Jian Wuhai, and as for Gu Youlan, she was taught by Jian Fengshuang.
After Jian Wuhai disappeared, the two brothers Jian Wuya and Jian Wuhui, the current heads of the Kendo Academy, and Jian Fengshuang took care of him. Therefore, in Jian Wuya's eyes, both girls are his nieces, but Bai Yiyi has a lively temperament.

Some, closer to him.
Sun Yuanliang's face was gloomy, he glanced at Jian Wuya and Wu Qiankun coldly, and said nothing. In previous competitions, he was at his best, but he didn't expect that this time, he would fall into Bai Yiyi's hands.
However, it can be seen from this that Bai Yiyi's combat power has greatly improved, and Gu Youlan is definitely not simple. Coupled with the sword hero who has broken through to become a god, the threat to the sword master's line is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that we need to have a serious discussion with the head of the hospital.
The struggle among the academy's senior leaders would cause the deans to suffer, but Cheng Ling didn't want to worry about it. The previous conflict with the seven major forces made him very disliked by the current head of the general academy. Coupled with Cheng Maofa's provocation, the Taoist Academy should die!
Now, he was sitting under the pavilion of Zhuyin Pavilion with Jian Yinghao and others, chatting leisurely. Originally, there was Wu Chenlong. However, the boy knew that he was not strong enough and did not dare to waste any time. As soon as the first round was over, he hid in the bamboo forest in the backyard to refine his sword intent.
Jian Yinghao took a sip of spiritual tea and said with a wry smile: "Yiyi's temper is still so straightforward. Now it's better. I have completely offended the Fa Dao Court. I'm afraid there will be some trouble in the next two rounds!"
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "Brother Jian, don't worry. Yiyi's combat power is completely different from a year ago. It's good that she doesn't cause trouble. There's no need to worry!"
"Oh? Brother Cheng is so sure? Since the incident in the south, my cultivation level has been upgraded to the form of a god. I have no chance to spar with her. I wonder what her current combat power is?"
"Her current combat power should be comparable to that of Brother Jian before he broke through to become a god!"
"Seriously?" Jian Yinghao asked in surprise.
Cheng Ling nodded and said: "Brother Jian, you should tell me some of the top ten disciples in the last competition. Can you win the first place with your fighting power back then?"
Jian Yinghao smiled slightly and did not answer. He just said: "I was away training in the last competition and did not participate. However, the top ten disciples know about it."
"Appreciate further details!"
"Three of the top ten in the last competition have broken through to become gods and will not participate in this competition again. Among the remaining seven, the first one is Cheng Maofa from the Law Academy."
"Oh? Is he very strong?"
"Yes, in the competition that year, among the top ten, five were court attendants, three were direct disciples, and two were core disciples. Cheng Maofa was able to take fourth place among many strong men, and his combat power was very good. Moreover. At that time, his cultivation level was only in the late Nascent Soul stage!"
"Where are the remaining six people?" Cheng Ling continued to ask with a normal expression.
"The fifth place is Wu Tianlei from the Martial Arts Academy, the sixth place is Qiu Ruohen from the Kendo Academy, the seventh place is Song Duan from the Kendo Academy, the eighth place is Sun Gang from the Legal Academy, the ninth place is Leng Feng from the Martial Arts Academy, and the tenth place is Yuan Yi of the Law Court!"
"Each Taoist temple has two disciples, so they are divided evenly."
Jian Yinghao's face straightened up and he said: "Brother Cheng is wrong. Not only are two disciples of the Fa Dao Academy among the top ten, but six! The three who have broken through to become gods, plus Cheng Maofa, Sun Gang, and Yuan Yi, among the top ten, they account for more than half of the places!"
Cheng Ling's eyebrows twitched and he said: "It seems that the strength of the Law Academy is indeed much stronger than the other two chambers!"
"Yes, but I think there will be big changes this year. According to what Brother Cheng said, Yiyi and Youlan have made great progress in combat power. Plus Brother Cheng, I think the Sword Academy will be able to get a few more places. .”
Cheng Ling smiled lightly and said, "Let's wait and see!"
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!
Early the next morning, the academy bell rang and the arena competition began.
Cheng Ling and others came with the sound of the bell
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Go to the square. I saw ten arenas rising up on the square, and a circle of temporary stands was built around the square, just like a football field, with clear layers.
When the bell rang, the elder deacon jumped onto the center stage and said loudly: "Today is the second round of the inner sect competition, the arena competition! The rules of the arena competition are very simple. The clearance orders you obtained in the first round are There’s a number on the back of the card.”
"One to 100 are in the first arena, 101 to 200 are in the second arena, and so on. Each arena has a seeded player. After consultation between the heads of the three houses and the elders, the combination In the rankings of the last competition, a total of ten seeded players were selected.”
"Now, please invite the seeded players to enter!"
As the elder deacon finished speaking, the ten seed players came to the stage one after another. Each one exudes a soaring momentum.
"Look, the one ranked first is Senior Brother Cheng from our Fa Dao Academy. As the direct disciple of the General Master, Senior Brother Cheng deserves to be ranked first among the seed players."
"That's Senior Brother Qiu Ruohenqiu!"
"And my senior brother Song Duan!"
"That's Senior Brother Leng Feng from our Martial Arts Academy. He's so powerful that he's almost no match for Cheng Maofa."
"You are blind, Senior Brother Cheng ranks first, how can Leng Feng compare!"
"So what? Senior Brother Leng has greatly improved in strength in recent years and has reached the peak of Nascent Soul Consummation. He may not be able to fight."
"I think as a court attendant, Senior Brother Qiu will definitely win the first prize in this competition!"
"In my opinion, Senior Brother Song Duan is stronger. Not only is he ranked among the top ten core disciples, he is also the leader of the Sword God Association and has access to more training resources."
"Tch, according to what you said, the leader of my Martial God Guild is not stronger!"
"Senior Brother Cheng is well-deserved and is the leader of the Law God Association. How can you two Taoists be our opponents?"
The disciples were at loggerheads, and the relationship between the three academies was on the verge of becoming tense. Some of the elders sitting on the rostrum in the stands frowned. Healthy competition can promote development. If water and fire are incompatible, it will lead to internal strife.
Now, it is only the second round of the competition, and the heads of each academy will not be present in person, but have sent powerful elders to watch the battle. The elders belong to different Taoist temples. Some attach great importance to the development of their own Taoist temple, while others focus on the overall development of the academy. The big bosses have different thoughts.
Cheng Ling stood under the stage, looking at the ten disciples in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Their momentum is indeed strong, but they have never fought, so how can they know the outcome?
Wu Chenlong was beside him, pointing to the ten seed disciples and said: "The first is Cheng Maofa, the second is Wu Tianlei, the third is Qiu Ruohen, the fourth is Song Duan, the fifth is Sun Gang, the sixth is Leng Feng, the seventh is Yuan Yi, the eighth martial arts, the ninth Zhao Yuanchang, the tenth Wu Changyuan.”
This guy was quite clever. Knowing that Cheng Ling was impatient to know this, he collected the relevant information for him. It's not like his eyesight is completely dark, and he doesn't even recognize the top ten disciples of the inner sect.
Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction and asked calmly: "What ranking do you think you can achieve?"
Wu Chenlong smiled bitterly and said: "I thought that my current strength is at most three hundred points away, and I would have no chance in the third round of the competition!"
"Don't worry, your foundation is very good. As long as you persist, you will be among them one day."
Wu Chenlong's eyes lit up and he nodded cautiously. Cheng Ling was able to reach the peak of Nascent Soul Consummation in just over a year. Following him, he would definitely be able to progress quickly until he became one of the top ten.
The presiding elder waited for a moment before loudly announcing: "The second round of competition begins!"
