next day
"Twenty-seven challengers are free to defend the challenge. After three contests, they will get a place in the outer courtyard. The cultivation level of the two must be suppressed to be consistent, and weapons are not allowed to be used!"
"The challenger wins and is admitted to the outer house. The candidates from the outer house are demoted to the branch house. The challenger loses and is eliminated directly."
As soon as the rules were announced, the candidates were in an uproar.
"The cultivation level is the same. Why? There is no such rule for the people eliminated yesterday to challenge the candidates of the branch!"
"Why aren't you allowed to use weapons? I'm a swordsman and you let me fight with my bare hands? Then I didn't learn it in vain!"
Those who challenge the candidates from the Outer Court are basically talented. If they only compete in martial arts, they are still confident. After all, the eleven candidates from the Outer Court have varying levels of talent and nurture. If you match up with a weak candidate, you can easily advance.
"Today's rules clearly favor candidates from the outer court." Leng Yi'an and the others stopped competing for places in the outer court. They just came here to watch the excitement.
Luo Qianshan said, "There is a grade difference between low-grade root bones and middle-grade root bones. Why are they not favored?"
Li Baimao agreed, "Yes, those two top-grade bones don't even need to participate in the competition, they can directly enter the inner courtyard."
"You compete carefully. Although you can still go to the branch even if you lose, don't be careless." After Lin Wu finished speaking, he looked at Leng Yuzi and the others, "If you challenge, you will have to burn the boat. If you miss this time, you will have to wait. Come back in three years.”
Yesterday's melee, Leng Yuzi was fighting alone in another arena, and she might have performed well. After getting off the arena, she was recruited by a big gang. She felt that the resources of the branch were not much different from that of this big gang, so she simply challenged the outer courtyard again. , it’s best if she wins, but she has a place to go even if she loses.
Lin Wu is quite happy. This year, he has brought out 87 people, eight of whom have entered the branch, three have qualifications for the outer hospital, and some gangs and families have come to contact and recruit. This is much better than in previous years.
"By the way, where is Xiao Shaobai? The competition is about to begin, why aren't we here yet?"
"I don't know. Yesterday he told us not to wait for him. He would come by himself."
Lin Wu nodded and was about to ask why Zhan Changfeng didn't come when he saw her coming, "There are several family gangs who want to recruit you. You can take a look when you have time."
Zhan Changfeng took the post he handed and put it into his storage bag, "I got it."
Lin Wu didn't say much. Compared to other students, this student was obviously more opinionated.
When the competition was announced to begin, Xiao Shaobai also arrived. Zhan Changfeng looked sideways at him, seeming to feel a familiar and slightly malignant evil spirit. She carefully distinguished that this evil spirit had been contaminated by Yu Sheng. point.
It seems that Xiao Shaobai came into contact with Yu Sheng on the day of the shooting ceremony.
The day of the shooting ceremony was also the time when the first case of cannibalism occurred.
Xiao Shaobai noticed her gaze and looked straight over, twitching the corners of his mouth with a bloodthirsty smile, and a hint of excitement and madness in his eyes.
It's best not to touch me. He said.
Zhan Changfeng seemed to understand something, and his eyes darkened.
"Now please invite the eleven candidates from the outer court to come on stage and defend the challenge!"
Li Baimao was extremely nervous. He held hands one by one and said, "For the sake of being a social science student, please don't be the first to challenge me."
When he arrived at Zhan Changfeng's place, he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, "There's no point in me losing. You need to find someone powerful."
"What are you afraid of? They are all the same when it comes to the stage." Luo Qianshan waved his sleeves and jumped onto the stage with confidence, and the others also took their places.
The referee yells, "Challenger up!"
Zhan Changfeng walked up to a ring. The ring guard was a thin young man with a high-pitched smile, "Hey, little girl, I'm very happy that you picked me. Do you think my brother will be gentler?"
"I picked him based on his height." The height is similar to hers, which makes it easier to fight.
"..." The young man's mouth froze.
The referee glanced at his extremely short height compared to an adult, laughed and coughed, "No. 157 Yi Zhan has great innate achievements, and No. 245 Tian Guangguang has great innate achievements. There is no need for the other party to suppress their cultivation, let's start directly."
Tian Guangguang had been watching the competition before and knew a little about Zhan Changfeng's skills, "Hey, let's see what you will do without a sword!"
He practiced palm skills, so he had a natural advantage in this duel where he couldn't use weapons, so he immediately attacked and killed him.
Zhan Changfeng moved his hands slowly and quickly in circles, pushing his palms aside. Mr. Yao Yu, who was watching the battle, had his eyebrows twitching. Why did this move look so similar to what he had used before? Before he could even wonder how Zhan Changfeng could comprehend its soft yet strong connotation in a short period of time, he suddenly noticed her unique style. Instead, he grabbed Tian Guangguang's pushed-out arm with one hand, and punched him in the chest quickly with the other hand.
Tian Guangguang's heart twitched and he lost all resistance in an instant.
Zhan Changfeng knelt down and pressed his chest, scaring him so much that he screamed in horror, "You don't want to kill people, I surrender, I surrender, the referee, please save me!"
"... Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine." This move was an extension of Li Sanniang's method of dissecting a wild boar. Originally, she wanted to study several sword skills based on human joints. Later, after pushing and pushing, she discovered that there are many joints on the human body. certain focal points.
For example, there is a point on the chest. Make a fist and protrude the middle finger joint. Concentrate all the power on this point. Points will collide with each other, just like a sharp cone piercing the center of the ice surface. The entire ice surface will crack and collapse like a spider web.
Of course, the force she used this time was relatively small, just creating a few cracks in him and temporarily rendering him incapacitated.
This move was still effective in actual combat. Zhan Changfeng was sorting out the strength and angle of his previous attack while waiting for the next challenger.
After successfully completing the challenge, you still have to defend two rounds to get a place in the outer courtyard.
There were originally eleven candidates selected for the outer house, so now there are eleven places. Whoever completes three consecutive victories first will be the winner.
Li Baimao looked at the man in front of him and said, "Do you want to find a more difficult challenge?"
Ji Wuming said with a wooden face, "It's better to play it safe."
Ji Wuming has innate cultivation and rich combat experience. Even if he is suppressed to the same level as Li Baimao, he still wins without pressure.
Li Baimao had to find a stage to challenge again. According to his conditions, the range of choices was limited, so he turned around and turned to Zhan Changfeng.
Zhan Changfeng glanced at him.
"No, I won't fight with you. Who will fight with you? I just want to discuss a countermeasure with you. For example, you deliberately set me up for a fight or something."
"You're blocking the people behind you."
Li Baimao turned around and saw a tall monk staring at him and yelling at him in a rough voice, "Brother, do you challenge me? If you don't challenge me, don't punish me."
Li Baimao got scared and ran to the next stage, "Please enlighten me!"
His actions were noticed by others, but Shen Bingyu was actually not annoyed and asked with a smile, "Are you so sure that she is better than me?"
"Nowhere, no matter where, you are all awesome." Shen Bingyu is another famous figure in Baige Society, but his style of painting is gentle after all.
When Li Baimao was thinking this, he saw the brother who had just gone up to challenge Zhan Changfeng being carried down, tsk~
Zhan Changfeng completed three challenges and handed in the card test registration. He glanced at other arenas and suddenly saw a strong figure knocking down his opponent. His movements were fierce and precise, full of explosive power. He strangled the person below him by the neck. , looked back with eyes like a wolf.
Xiao Shaobai...
"Damn it, this guy is like a god today," Lin Wu exclaimed happily, "The quota in the outer courtyard is guaranteed!"
Li Baimao, who stepped down within a quarter of an hour, echoed with a slumped face, "What happened to everyone? I am the only one who was kicked out of the outer courtyard."
Zhan Changfeng went to the empty pavilion next to him and found a seat, waiting for the assessment to end. After a while, Mr. Yao Yu also came over.
"What's the matter with Mr. Yao Yu?"
Without saying a word, Mr. Yao Yu struck with a palm. Zhan Changfeng raised his hand and pushed him away. Mr. Yao Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "It's the same thing but the same thing."
Zhan Changfeng understood what he meant, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I just used the power of zhenqi to change the trajectory of the attack, and Mr. Yao Yu's moves are incomprehensible."
Zhan Changfeng's technique is to use the true energy scattered around the body as an "aura", and then use the principles of Tai Chi to dominate this aura to weaken and change other people's attacks.
But Mr. Yao Yu does not need this kind of substantial Qi.
"You can use the true energy as a field, and your control over the true energy is extremely proficient. Why should you be humble?" Mr. Yao Yu nodded, "But you really can't compare with me. You use the true energy, and I use the meaning."
"meaning?"
Mr. Yao Yu laughed three times and left without answering.
