However, any large sectarian force is very complicated internally, just like Shushan. Although the person in charge is nominally Ling Yunzi, who is the leader, all he can decide are trivial and unimportant matters that affect the sect. All issues of interest require the nod of the Jiange Elders Council. Behind this Taoist leader, there is a lineage of elders to support him, so even if his own qualifications are not high, he can still hold a high position in the sect and his words have a certain weight.
"Well, what Senior Brother Lichen said is true. Being able to emit invisible sword energy at his level will indeed be a talent for a sword cultivator in the future, but at this stage of his growth, he may have to suffer a lot. Well. This time he faced off against the disciples from the Huang Academy. It was okay. If he met the disciples from the other three courtyards, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy to win. If he wanted to rely on his own strength to advance to the inner sect, I'm afraid his own efforts would not be enough. , maybe there are still some opportunities." Shang Yangzi also answered.
"These days, no one who can be promoted from the outer sect is a bit of a pickle. When it comes to swordsmanship, there are also a lot of old disciples in the outer sect, but aren't there still very few who can be promoted? The highlight of this boy The reason is that he decided to take the path of sword cultivation so early. Although it is full of ups and downs and rapids, once he gets over it, the future is bright... And I don’t know if you have noticed that the style of his long sword looks like It looks like a Japanese sword, which has never been seen before among our sword cultivator disciples in Shushan. Maybe this kid can make a name for himself." Wu Yinzi was the one who interrupted, and he didn't speak like the others. It's casual, but the explanation is from the perspective of Master Yan.
From the conversations between these masters, it is not difficult to see that when they watch the outer sect competition, what they look for is not qualifications and strength. If they are just these two points, there are people who have both of these points among the new disciples in each session. There are many people here, so does everyone want to take a fancy to it? Naturally it is impossible, so what they look for is often the characteristics of these new disciples. For example, Zuo Wei, although his qualifications are ordinary, has attracted the attention of several masters because he is a swordsman who uses Japanese swords.
"If it is a Japanese sword, my mortal incarnation once wandered in the mortal world for a period of time, and I have seen the difference between a Japanese sword and an ordinary long sword. Although it is called a sword, the Japanese sword can actually be attributed to the category of sword, starting from The Tang sword evolved from the Tang Dynasty sword, and those who use the Japanese sword are also called swordsmen there. If this kid really becomes a sword cultivator, I am afraid that he will be quite different from our current sword cultivator disciples. He is good at I'm afraid all the sword moves are like cutting with one breath, but I'm a little bit interested."
Everyone present knew that Shang Yangzi and Ling Yunzi were both disciples of the former head coach Chu Aotian, and the reason why he was loved by Chu Aotian the most was not just because he was the youngest and the youngest of Chu Aotian. Disciple, among them he is a sword cultivator, and the two of them are equally bohemian and have been in the world of cultivation for a long time when they were young.
After hearing Shang Yangzi's words, Ling Yunzi had a casual conversation with him in his mind sea. Because of his interest in Ye Qingcheng, Shang Yangzi's thoughts were always in Ling Yunzi's mind sea. As a result, the two can communicate at any time.
As mentioned before, although there are only four places in the previous outer sect competitions, and they all rely on strength, but since the rules are set by Ling Yunzi and others, there are naturally loopholes to exploit. For example, the disciples of Huangyuan, the reason why they hardly practice attack spells is because it is not necessary. Due to their special nature, the disciples of Huangyuan will have extra places every few competitions, like The inner sect needs Talisman Makers or Formation Masters, and disciples such as doctors may be promoted. Of course, this is an extra quota limited to the Yellow Academy, and the disciples of the other three academies can only rely on their own efforts.
But like now, as long as Shang Yangzi says that he is interested in Zuo Wei, then Ling Yunzi can operate in secret, for example, let people secretly give Zuo Wei advice, or give him some panacea or powerful medicine. Kung Fu secret techniques, or simply give him suitable weapons. In this way, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can still hope to obtain promotion qualifications as an entry-level monk-level disciple at least in the next few terms. At that time, he can be It was arranged under Shang Yangzi's name.
In fact, in the final analysis, everyone is well aware of this kind of thing, but they will not point it out to each other. In addition, not every generation has disciples who can attract the attention of these leaders, so usually no one will stand up and say anything. It's just that Ling Yunzi's personality doesn't mean that he will open the back door to whomever he wants. He also has to wait and see who comes. Like his favorite junior disciple Shang Yangzi, if there is a need, of course he won't. Refuse, not to mention that Shang Yangzi rarely asks for help. Taoist Lichen always tries to find excuses to attract a few good talents every time. As the leader, he cannot agree to it whether it is for public or private reasons. This is why the relationship between the two of them is not too good. One of the good reasons is that Ling Yunzi is a master and a strong man among the emperors. How dare Jinxian Lichen to make mistakes? At most, he is just complaining to his disciples. He dare not displayed in public. Although he has the support of some people from the Jiange Presbyterian Church, he is just an agent of those people in the inner sect. If it comes down to it, he would never dare to offend Ling Yunzi.
Back to Ye Qingcheng, Ye Qingcheng was thinking for a while at this moment, because he had just watched another competition between immortal-level disciples. This was another internal fight between Tianyuan disciples, but this was not the case. Also normal. As the courtyard that has always been ranked first among the upper four courtyards, and it is also a courtyard dedicated to cultivating Dharma practitioners, the number of disciples in Tianyuan is quite astonishing, so the Tianyuan is the one that can be seen most often in several competitions. There was internal fighting among the disciples.
In this competition, the strength of both sides was almost the same. The only variable was speed. One of the disciples seemed to have good physical fitness. Both his reaction and physical speed were better than the other's. Therefore, from time to time, there will be situations where he can avoid the opponent's spell attacks, but most of his moves can hit the opponent. Over time, he will naturally win.
This reminded him of a saying in the world of martial arts: All martial arts in the world are invincible, except speed.
This is true even in the world of mortals, let alone the world of cultivation where the jungle prevails.
