Late at night, Sun Yuanliang's wing of the Law Courtyard.
Sun Yuanliang sat silently on the main seat, and the dean of the Fa Dao reported to him the situation of the recent arena competition one by one. In fact, he already knew these things. How could the head of the branch not care about the situation in the arena competition?
But knowing is one thing, and reporting to the elders is another. After the old man explained the situation, he continued: "Master, if this continues, the Kendo Academy may take the top spot in this competition. What should we do?"
Sun Yuanliang sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the strength of the disciples of the Sword Academy has improved so much. We can't move Qiu Ruohen, Bai Yiyi, and Gu Youlan. The only ones left are Song Duan and Cheng Ling. These two people You can do some work on it!"
The old man hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, Cheng Ling doesn't have much background yet. He just has a good personal relationship with Jian Yinghao. If you want to touch him, you can think of a way. But Song Duan is the leader of the Sword God Association. I'm afraid Is it difficult to move?"
"Sword God Club? This kind of organization among disciples is nothing to us. Do they dare to violate the rules of the academy? Send an order and ask the disciples participating in the ranking competition to stop these two people with all their strength!"
"Yes, I understand!" The old man had no choice but to agree!
Martial Arts Academy! Wu Qiankun and an elder sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere between them was quite relaxed.
"The candidates for the ranking competition have all come out. In terms of numbers, the Fa Dao Academy still has the advantage, with 50% of the disciples. The Ken Dao Academy has about the same number as us, but in terms of high-end combat power, we are not as good as the other party!" Wu Qiankun played with it. The two iron galls said calmly.
The old man agreed and replied: "Master, how should we deal with the ranking competition?"
"Standing unchanged in response to all changes, Sun Yuanliang will definitely not be able to tolerate the Sword Academy coming from behind, so he will naturally send his disciples to stop it. In this way, we stay out of the matter, and maybe we can gain a little advantage. Tell those disciples not to provoke the Sword Academy. We still have to abide by the alliance!”
"Yes, I'll do it now!"
Different from the joy of the daytime arena match, Jian Laodao came to Jian Wuya's wing, and the two brothers sat silently on the chairs without speaking.
After a long time, Master Jian said, "Second brother, the outcome of the arena battle may be unfavorable to Cheng Ling. Is there no way to avoid it?"
Jian Wuya smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. The challenge objects for the ranking competition are originally chosen by the disciples. Even if all the disciples of the Fa Dao Academy choose Cheng Ling, there is nothing we can do. Fortunately, there is Song Duan, so maybe we can spread it out a little bit. attention!"
Jian Laodao smiled bitterly and said: "The rules of this ranking competition really need to be changed. If it weren't for the special status of Yiyi and Youlan, Cheng Ling would not have faced such a situation!"
"The rules set by the third generation master cannot be easily changed. That's all, you and I can't see clearly the depth of Cheng Ling. I just hope he can surprise us again. Let's stick to it until the end!"
Master Jian sighed and said dejectedly: "This is the only way!"
The moon wanes and the sun rises, and the night passes quickly. The first ray of dawn shone on the square, and the bell for the ranking match rang, echoing melodiously in the academy!
In the auditorium, many disciples waited all night. Hearing the bell ringing for the competition, everyone woke up from their meditation and stared closely at the only arena in the middle of the square.
The original ten arenas disappeared after the arena competition ended, and were replaced by only one larger arena, which was more than ten times larger than the previous one. Around the ring, four huge
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The stone pillar, the seal on the stone pillar almost covers the entire martial arts square.
Within the confinement, there are a hundred stone pillars floating in the air from high to low. Each stone pillar is about 10 feet in diameter and can accommodate one person sitting on top.
The defensive ability of the ban has also been greatly strengthened. The disciples participating in the ranking battle are stronger than those in the group competition, so the ban will naturally be strengthened several times to avoid accidents.
As the bell gradually dissipated, the top 100 disciples sat on the stone pillars above the arena one by one, and the seats were quickly filled.
The ranking of Shizhu is based on the results of the arena competition, coupled with the inferences of the three masters and dozens of elders, each disciple has a specific ranking position. Of course, this ranking is not the end, the final ranking competition will give the correct answer.
One hundred disciples arrived one by one. On the rostrum, the figures of the four masters of the courtyard instantly transformed. The head of the main courtyard sits on top, and the remaining three branches of the principals sit in the lower row. In the last row are the nine highly respected elders of the three courtyards, among whom is Old Jian Dao.
After everyone was seated, the presiding elder jumped onto the ring and said loudly: "Congratulations to everyone for entering the third round of ranking competition. Now I will describe the rules of the ranking competition as follows."
"In the ranking match, every two disciples may have to fight each other. The stone pillars under your bodies indicate the current ranking, but this is not absolute. After the match starts, the disciples ranked first in the rankings will start with the one hundredth disciple and challenge upwards in order."
"The rules of the challenge are that you can only choose an opponent with a higher ranking than yourself, and you can choose repeatedly. Once you win, you can replace the opponent's ranking. If you fail, you will return to your own ranking. Now, I announce that the ranking match has officially begun!"
After hearing what the presiding elder said, Cheng Ling's expression changed and he turned to look at Jian Yinghao outside the ring.
Jian Yinghao had a wry smile on his face and just shook his head!
Cheng Ling secretly scolded the other party for being unkind, wondering why he didn't explain the rules of the game yesterday. Obviously, he saw something fishy in the ranking competition.
Now he is ranked fifth, right next to Song Duan, because of his victory over Sun Gang, who scored in the last competition. According to the rules of the competition, all disciples can choose opponents ranked higher than themselves. In this way, in addition to the first four, the next ninety-five can choose him as their opponent.
Among the hundreds of disciples participating in the ranking competition, Fa Dao Yuan accounted for almost half, with a total of forty-five. Excluding the number one Cheng Maofa, Cheng Ling believed that at least half of the remaining forty-four disciples of the Fa Dao Academy would choose him.
Now, he was really lucky that Song Duan was in front of him. Compared to Qiu Ruohen, Bai Yiyi, and Gu Youlan, Song Duan has a greater chance of being challenged. As a court attendant, Qiu Ruohen has great power in the academy and cannot be offended easily.
The two girls, Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan, were protected by the entire Kendo Academy. In addition, there was a terrifying master wife like Jian Fengshuang, who dared not provoke those disciples even if they had three courages. The only ones left were himself and Song Duan.
Song Duan is the leader of the Sword God Association and has considerable influence in the Sword Academy. However, this kind of power is insignificant compared to the interests of the entire Taoist Academy. The Fa Taoist Academy doesn't care whether you are the leader or not, they will still take action on you.
As for himself, he is even more of a novice. Apart from a little personal relationship with Jian Yinghao, he needs a backer but not a backer, and wants power but not power. If those disciples don't challenge him, who will he challenge?
The current top ten disciples are: Cheng Maofa, Wu Tianlei, Qiu Ruohen, Song Duan, Cheng Ling, Leng Feng, Bai Yiyi, Gu Youlan, Zhao Yuanchang, and Wu Changyuan.
Among them, Cheng Maofa, Zhao Yuanchang and Wu Changyuan belong to the Fa Daoyuan.
Qiu Ruohen, Song Duan,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Cheng Ling, Bai Yiyi, and Gu Youlan belong to the Kendo Academy.
Wu Tianlei and Leng Feng belong to the Martial Arts Academy.
The Kendo Academy accounts for half of the total. If the competition ends based on this ranking, the academy's resources in the next three years will be skewed towards the Kendo Academy. This is obviously unacceptable to the Kendo Academy.
Therefore, the best plan is to push Song Duan and himself out of the top ten and replace them with two disciples from the Fa Daoyuan. Even if they can't all be squeezed out and Song Duan is left, Fa Dao Yuan and Ken Dao Yuan share four seats among the top ten, plus Cheng Maofa ranks first, Fa Dao Yuan still has an advantage.
What a good calculation!
Cheng Ling was secretly depressed, and the eyes he looked at Song Duan were no longer cold, but felt like they were in the same boat.
Song Duan was puzzled by what he saw, and said coldly: "Don't think that since we belong to the same Taoist academy, I will let you go, causing Song Qi to fall into inner demons. This debt must be paid back!"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said: "You have to make it clear that it was Song Qi who came to provoke me back then. And now is not the time to settle old scores. Have you really not noticed the situation in front of you? How many disciples will you and I welcome next? challenge?"
If you put it so bluntly, Song Duan still can't understand the key, so he can only be said to be an idiot.
Song Duan was startled, thought for a moment, and then he came to his senses. His face changed drastically and he said, "That's all, let's postpone the discussion between us in advance. The interests of the Taoist Academy are above all else. No matter how many disciples come, we will have to face it."
Cheng Ling's face became solemn, and her impression of him suddenly improved a lot. Although he kept his brother's hatred on himself, he still understood the general outline and had a strong sense of belonging to the academy.
He said: "Senior Brother Song, let me call you that! I will take up Song Qi's matter after the competition no matter what, but for now, we still have to find a way to deal with it."
Song Duan said angrily: "Is there any way? The rules only allow upward challenges. We occupy such a ranking and can only be passive!"
Cheng Ling smiled sinisterly and said, "That's not entirely true. Senior Brother Song, I heard that you are the leader of the Sword God Association?"
"So what?"
"Then I would like to ask, how many of the top 100 are members of the Sword God Club?"
"Not many, including myself, there are seven!"
"That's simple. I have some ideas here and I need Senior Brother Song's help."
Song Duan twitched the corners of his mouth, "What's going on with this kid? He hasn't even settled his grudge yet, so he beat a snake with a stick so quickly, and got close to him, so he still wants to help?"
It's just helpless, the situation is compelling, listen first before speaking, if it doesn't work, just refuse. He asked: "Tell me first!"
"Fa Daoyuan can mobilize its disciples to challenge us, consume real energy and find out our strength. Your disciples from the Sword God Society can also challenge them. Although there are not many in number, they can at least play a role. This is one of them!"
"continue!"
"Secondly, we need Senior Brother Song and me to be of the same mind. I have not had much contact with Senior Brother Qiu. I can persuade Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan. The purpose is that once a disciple of the Fa Dao Academy comes to challenge him, leave him alone and go to death. Go ahead, as long as you don’t kill me, you can do whatever you want!”
Song Duan shivered cleverly, but he admired him in his heart. Although this boy was ruthless, he suited his taste very well.
He nodded and said: "I understand, I will find a way to persuade Senior Brother Qiu. Boy, I am just forced by the situation to temporarily join forces with you. I will definitely avenge Brother Qi!"
Cheng Ling chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Song! As long as we get through the current difficulties, I will definitely find a way to make him recover!"
