Song Dahu, who was watching from the side, also shook his head and smiled bitterly. This result was also expected. For hundreds of years, no Lingtai realm disciple among the outer sect has ever won a competition, and the best one only made it to the second round.
Furthermore, he was no longer optimistic about Zhou Yang's upcoming competition.
The elders of the outer sect at the viewing platform admired the cypress trees, but their faces were neither happy nor sad. They had been like this for hundreds of years, and nothing would change today.
Zhou Yang naturally saw clearly the competition between the two disciples from the inner and outer sects. There was nothing surprising about the whole process. There was indeed a gap in strength between the two.
However, the inner disciple was able to win the battle with just his sword. This was not only a matter of strength gap, but also related to daily battle accumulation and tactical use, and also to the courage and force of both sides.
Without going through the test of blood and fire, the path to Taoism is incomplete. When it comes to a life-and-death struggle, death is inevitable.
The twenty disciples who took part in the first round quickly determined the winner. As expected, with the exception of a few individuals, the winners were almost all Lingtai peak cultivators.
Next, the second round, the third round, and the fourth round proceed in sequence.
The competition between Lingtai cultivators is indeed more interesting than the Kaiyuan level. The fighting scenes are extremely fierce, exciting and exciting. Especially the fierce battle between the spiritual cultivators is even more exciting.
Some low-level cultivators were fascinated by it, and some were enlightened and benefited a lot. There are a very small number of low-level cultivators with extraordinary qualifications who have broken through the realm after observing a few battles.
Not a moment later, it was finally Zhou Yang's turn to play.
"Fourth brother, it's up to you!" Tiger was full of confidence in Zhou Yang.
"Little Yangzi, you can do it!" Xing'er also raised her pink fist to cheer him on.
The members of Team Thirty-Six are also full of expectations.
"Don't worry." Zhou Yang turned back and smiled.
Although he was confident of entering the top twenty, things were unpredictable, and there were many geniuses among the tens of thousands of Tianxing Sect disciples, so he did not dare to claim victory.
"On the 269th, Zhou Yang, a disciple from the outer sect, is running for election. On the 270th, Li Lu, a disciple from the inner sect, is running for election. Hurry up to the competition stage!" the ruling deacon said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, one person walked out from the inner door and the outer door, came to the two adjudication deacons, saluted, and jumped onto the No. 6 competition platform.
On the 270th journey, he is about twenty-five or six years old. He has a dark complexion and a burly body. He is also one of the few disciples in the late stage of Lingtai and even the ninth level.
With such strength, no matter what the result of the competition is, he will be selected into the ranks of elite disciples.
The same is true for Zhou Yang.
In other words, the two parties that were about to compete were already elite disciples of the Tianxing Sect.
The two clasped their fists, then each revealed their weapons and opened their stances.
"Junior Brother Zhou, I'm offended!" After a few breaths, Lu was the first to speak, and then he shook out a spear. In an instant, several gun shadows appeared, heading straight for Zhou Yang's face.
Zhou Yang felt a little awkward being called junior brother.
He was nominally an outer disciple of the Tianxing Sect, but this was just a temporary measure, and he didn't know at the time that his eldest brother had become an outer deacon of the Tianxing Sect.
In his heart, he was repelled by the title of Tianxing Sect disciple, and he was reluctant to join. He only has one sect, and that is Zi Yuan Sect.
Although he was expelled from the Ziyuan Sect, it was because he violated the sect's rules and he was punished for his crime, which is excusable.
Moreover, Uncle Zhong, who taught him and cared for him, was also in the Ziyuan Sect, so deep down, he always believed that he was still a disciple of the Ziyuan Sect.
"Well done!" At this time, there was no time to think too much. Zhou Yang stayed still, his sword came out like lightning, silver light flashed, and the gun and sword were already intersecting.
With a clang, the sword light collided with the gun light, sparks flew everywhere, and the long sword had already pushed away the gun body. Then Zhou Yang stepped forward, used his long sword as a sword, and slashed across his shoulder and back.
Lu pulled back and raised his spear, instantly blocking Zhou Yang's sword. Zhou Yang drew his sword and slashed again, and Lu raised his gun to meet him. The two of them went back and forth, fighting together.
In the first few rounds, both of them deliberately tested and did not use any special skills.
After ten moves, Lu Lu couldn't help but secretly marvel. Although the opponent's sword skills were average, his sword skills were extremely superb and his speed was extremely fast. Moreover, the sword radiance of the long sword actually greatly exceeded his own spear radiance!
This was a sign that he had mastered the sword skills to a level as pure as fire. Coupled with his mysterious body skills, he was actually overwhelming him at this moment.
And this is just the beginning.
Lu Lu didn't dare to test it anymore, knowing that if he didn't use a strange move, it would be impossible for him to win.
With his mind spinning, he flicked his spear and pointed it directly at Zhou Yang's face.
Zhou Yang's long sword was as fast as the wind, and he immediately faced the gun body. However, just as he was halfway through the journey, the long sword suddenly came out of his hand!
Not only that, the shadow of the spear suddenly increased several times, and cultivators with poor eyesight could not tell which one was the real gun and which one was the shadow.
Vision and spiritual consciousness complement each other. Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness is by no means comparable to those of practitioners at the same level. Although the dozens of gun shadows were fast, he still quickly discovered the clues.
The real tip of the gun is not in the middle, but on the far left. The shadow of the gun is darker than the surrounding ones, but it is very confusing.
This is Lu's special skill, the Shadow Lightning Spear. Not only does this technique have numerous gun shadows, but it is also incredibly fast. It is difficult for practitioners of the same level to avoid it without using magic weapons.
However, Zhou Yang felt that this technique was somewhat similar to his Golden Snake Death-Destroying Spear. It was quite powerful and he did not dare to neglect it.
Seeing more than a dozen gun shadows under his hood, Zhou Yang quickly executed the Wind Chasing Technique for Thousands of Miles, causing wind to rise under his feet. He instantly stepped several feet to the right at an incredible speed, and at the same time shot a finger of spiritual light towards the gun body on the left.
The powerful spiritual light hit the gun body, making a dull sound, and the long gun involuntarily deflected a few inches.
It was a long journey, how did he see the real gun body clearly! Could it be that this person has the power of extreme vision?
He was very confident in his Avatar Lightning Gun, but it was broken in one move, and it was broken by the aura. His mind was in a trance for a moment.
However, the master's attack was only within a hair's breadth. How could Zhou Yang give him time to be stunned? The Wanli Chasing Wind Technique turned sharply again, his body circled, and the long sword thrust out in parallel.
Not only that, Zhou Yang pointed out the aura with one finger of his left hand again, blocking the retreat on the left side of the journey.
Lu Lu was shocked. He could barely block the long sword thrust, but he had no time to block the spiritual light that shot toward his left chest.
It's just that, but that aura is definitely not like the aura emitted by the later cultivators of Lingtai. Not only is the color strange, but the power is even more frightening, exceeding the auras of ordinary Lingtian cultivators.
Fortunately, the spiritual light did not hit his heart, so he would not be killed, but he would definitely be injured.
He also knew that this was the reason for Zhou Yang's mercy, otherwise, he would have to die here today.
Lu Li raised his gun with all his strength, barely deflecting the sudden sword, and then dodged to the right in an instant, narrowly avoiding the vital point. The spiritual light directly penetrated into his left arm, and immediately penetrated through, forming a A small hole, blood spurted out like an arrow.
The journey was a lonely one, so he reluctantly stepped aside and gritted his teeth to admit defeat.
The ruling deacon directly announced the result, and Zhou Yang successfully entered the next round.
Such an easy victory greatly exceeded the expectations of the outer disciples.
How is this possible? He hasn't even used a magic weapon yet, but he defeated a cultivator of the same level as the inner sect in just a dozen rounds. Is this true?
And his aura is so powerful. How did this kid achieve it?
Most of the outer disciples didn't know Zhou Yang, so they pointed at him and began to whisper.
However, those who knew the inside story were not surprised at all. Even Chunyu Laojiu, who was a high-ranking Lingtai practitioner, was killed by him. He was just a late-stage Lingtai disciple. It was normal for him to be defeated by Zhou Yang.
Everyone on the viewing platform also saw this scene. Chong Baisong was a little surprised. He had heard Song Dahu talk about Zhou Yang, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
But this kid showed such strength as soon as he came on stage. It seems that he has another great talent among his subordinates.
"Well, this boy's physique..." Lan Kuotian, the leader, who was sitting in the middle of the viewing platform, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
"What, is this kid's physique different?" Li Fengyun, the great elder on the side, followed the leader's gaze.
"It's rare for gold to contain fire." Lan Kuotian shook his head gently. He is in the realm of quasi-real people and fake elixirs, and his vision is very vicious.
"Oh, how can metal and fire coexist if they are in conflict with each other?" Li Fengyun asked curiously.
"It does have some potential." Lan Kuotian nodded and looked at the other competition stages.
He is just a disciple of the late stage of Lingtai. Although his physique is special, the most important thing is his aptitude. Even if he is better than the cultivators of the same level, he can only be regarded as having superb cultivation. His aptitude has not been shown, but he has entered the ranks of elite disciples. is enough.
There are more than 300 disciples in the Lingtai Realm participating in the selection. Only the first round can be conducted that day. After more than 100 winners are selected, they can participate in the second round of selection the next day.
After returning to the team, all the outer disciples expressed their respect for Zhou Yang.
In the past hundreds of years, in the Lingtai Realm Competition, there has only been one situation where it entered the second round of the competition. How can it not be exciting to see the glory of the outer gate reappear today?
They are all secretly looking forward to tomorrow's competition, hoping that Zhou Yang will continue to pass the test, be proud of the outer sect, and avenge his previous humiliation.
But the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and when there are more people, there are naturally some who have different thoughts.
There were originally four deacons in the outer sect. The one with the highest level of cultivation was naturally Chong Baisong, and the one with the lowest level was in the early Tianyuan period.
After Chong Baisong was promoted to elder, the other two deacons were extremely dissatisfied. In terms of cultivation, the three of them were originally at the sixth level of Tianyuan. You, Chong Baisong, only relied on the influence of your family to advance to the later stages, and then you took the position of elder.
In fact, in terms of realm, the seventh level of Tianyuan is not enough to be qualified for the position of elder, but who should let someone have his back against a big tree? Others can't compare to him.
It would be fine if it was just like this, but for the position you vacated, you did not ask for my opinion at all, but strongly recommended Song Dahu, who has no family and no sect, to take the position. You have eaten both meat and soup, and you have eaten both meat and soup. Don't let others live!
