Zhou Fangcong said: "Junior Brother Yan, we meet again."
Yan Changlan also said: "Please give me some advice from Senior Brother Zhou."
After the two people exchanged polite words, Zhou Fangcong drew his sword and jumped over.
Yan Changlan was also not polite. With a twist of his wrist, he pulled out the Lanfeng Sword and started fighting with Zhou Fangcong.
These two people can be regarded as the proud sons of Baixiao Sect. During the battle, their swordsmanship was very exquisite, which made many disciples fascinated. For example, Yan Changlan did not practice the wind and thunder swordsmanship, but he practiced it with Zhou Fangcong. There are quite a few people who are good at ordinary swordsmanship. Therefore, the longer the two people fight and the more sword skills they use, the more wonderful things they can learn.
At that moment, many people couldn't help but start making gestures, and some even hoped that the two of them would fight for a longer time so that they could all see it more clearly.
Yan Changlan was more cautious at the moment.
Zhou Fangcong is indeed a genius who was carefully cultivated by the leader of the Baixiao Sect. Even though Yan Changlan practices swordsmanship hard in the strong wind on the cliff every day, he is still a little inferior to Zhou Fangcong who has been immersed in the same set of swordsmanship for several years. Fortunately, Yan Changlan It was also carefully pointed out by Ye Shu. After adapting to Zhou Fangcong's swordsmanship, he quickly closed the gap and turned it into actual combat power, which put huge pressure on Zhou Fangcong.
Yan Changlan didn't dare to be careless, and Zhou Fangcong was also very careful.
Compared with Yan Changlan's emotion, Zhou Fangcong has always been in the leading position in the third level of Qi refining, and almost no one in the same level can compare with him. Now came Yan Changlan. Compared to Yan Changlan who didn't have much baggage, Zhou Fangcong was more worried that once he was defeated, it would have a big impact on his reputation.
Zhou Fangcong felt relieved when he realized that Yan Changlan seemed to be slightly worse than him. However, after Yan Changlan improved rapidly and even gained insights from the battle with him, Zhou Fangcong felt a strong sense of threat in his heart. He felt vaguely uneasy.
Zhou Fangcong's eyes turned cold, and he was no longer willing to do anything to support him.
The next moment, he stepped back and said: "When it comes to swordsmanship, we are equally matched. I guess there is no winner."
When Yan Changlan heard this, although he felt that he was not struggling very much, he still saved face for Zhou Fangcong and nodded: "Senior Brother Zhou is right."
At the same time, a sneer appeared on Ye Shu's lips, who was watching from outside.
——Can’t decide the winner? No, if this fierce battle continues, the winner will definitely be Yan Changlan.
But not everyone has such a vision, even those who are building foundations. Although their cultivation is high, their swordsmanship may not be extremely good. They would not have thought that Yan Changlan's understanding of swordsmanship is so high. As for the onlookers' disciples, He didn't even notice it, but felt that both of them were very graceful and it was time for them to show off their other abilities.
Only the leader of the Baixiao Sect taught Aizi his swordsmanship. He himself knew Aizi very well. When he heard Aizi say this, he knew that Aizi was not sure and made such a suggestion to save his face.
At that moment, he narrowed his eyes.
As the sect leader, he is naturally willing to have a few more talented people in the sect, but as a father, he is unwilling to see outsiders suppress the glory of his beloved son...especially since this son is not under his sect.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Fangcong took out a seal.
Yan Changlan recognized it at a glance. This was the one refined by Ye Shu and used to offer a reward. Senior Brother Zhou had found his enemy before, so he naturally gave the reward to him.
Zhou Fangcong was also a little embarrassed at this time.
He got this seal from Yan Changlan, but now he was using it against Yan Changlan. This was really a bit...but he quickly brushed away the embarrassment.
Since this seal was given to him, it is naturally his magical weapon. It is only natural that he should take it out when he fights with others.
Zhou Fangcong reminded: "Junior Brother Yan, be careful."
Yan Changlan held two swords in his hands and his eyes were firm: "Senior Brother Zhou, please."
The next moment, Zhou Fangcong typed the seal without hesitation!
On the seal, the restriction was activated. The moment it struck, although it was no bigger than a palm, it was followed by a suffocating pressure, which seemed to directly freeze Yan Changlan in place! Moreover, if Yan Changlan is really affected by this seal, even if he escapes quickly, Zhou Fangcong can still seize the opportunity to defeat Yan Changlan!
However, Zhou Fangcong used the seal, but Yan Changlan knew the function of the seal very well. The moment the seal was struck, Yan Changlan also used his two long swords to activate half of the gravity restraint to offset the heavy pressure brought by the seal. And because he was often under heavy pressure to practice, he was still able to withstand these pressures. He was not suppressed by them. Instead, he raised his swords and acted as usual.
When Zhou Fangcong hit the seal, he came again with his sword. Yan Changlan quickly dodged the seal to prevent it from hitting him. Then he raised his swords and caught Zhou Fangcong's attack!
The two of them fought several times under this heavy pressure. Zhou Fangcong was not affected by the heavy pressure, but if Yan Changlan continued, the consumption would be great... Therefore, Yan Changlan quickly retreated, quickly turned his arms, and quickly struck out with his left hand. In one move, his right hand followed closely, and the two swords joined together, which was the third form of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique!
Yan Changlan has never shown this move before, and the power of this move is too difficult to comprehend. Even if Yan Changlan has good understanding, he can only fuse the wind and thunder by 10% or 20% in such a short period of time.
However, when both warring parties are only at the third level of Qi refining, 10% to 20% is enough.
I saw a gust of wind rushing out and quickly turned into a wind roll, and the thunder and lightning merged into the wind roll, forming a thunderstorm that was not very big, but contained terrifying power!
This thunderstorm rushed straight towards Zhou Fangcong!
Zhou Fangcong was horrified. He kept retreating, took back the seal, and stopped in front of him——
After the violent roar sounded, the seal was blown away, and although Zhou Fangcong continued to use his sword to weaken the power, he was eventually hit continuously until both feet stepped out of the field!
It turned out that... Zhou Fangcong lost.
Outside the entire venue, there was silence.
The leader of Baixiao Sect's face darkened slightly, and then he sighed.
Zhou Fangcong took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Junior brother Yan, it was me who lost."
Yan Changlan looked as usual, cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, I accept the concession."
By now, the dust has settled.
Among the top ten, Yan Changlan ranked fourth and Zhou Fangcong ranked fifth.
If it were in the past, even if he was only ranked fifth, it would be an excellent result for Zhou Fangcong. But there was also Yan Changlan, who was ranked even higher!
For a time, there was a lot of discussion among the inner sect.
Countless people feel that Zhou Fangcong seems to be inferior to Yan Changlan...
There were also many people watching the battle at the outer gate. Two of them couldn't help but sigh when they saw Yan Changlan calmly leaving the field after winning and returning to Ye Shu's side:
"Brother Yan is very different now."
"I knew that Brother Yan would have a bright future in the future, but I didn't expect that he would be so fast and leave us far behind."
These two people are naturally Luo Ziyao and Fu Xuan.
They had previously purchased a large amount of resources, and had already obtained considerable benefits and successfully channeled their energy. But money cannot be used, they are still very frugal, and their practice in the future will probably slow down... Even so, they are much better than most new disciples. At this time, when they saw their old friend in such a beautiful scene, they were inevitably a little envious, but more than anything they were happy for him.
Back on the stage, Ye Shu explained to Yan Changlan the moves and methods used in the remaining battles between the fourth-level disciples of Qi Refining. Yan Changlan was neither arrogant nor impetuous and was still listening carefully, while Xiao Ming also continued to steal from him.
After all the remaining games have been played, the top ten rankings will be revealed, and the rewards will be quite generous.
For the top ten rankings, each disciple will be rewarded with a hundred thousand taels of silver, and can choose one item from dozens of items produced by the sect;
The fifth disciple, in addition to the reward of 100,000 yuan in silver, an additional 100,000 yuan, can choose two things;
The fourth place, in addition to the one hundred thousand silver reward, plus two hundred thousand, can choose three things...
The top three will naturally have more, and Yan Changlan, as the fourth place, can get a total of 300,000 silver rewards, and take away three things he wants to choose from.
Yan Changlan and several other top ten disciples followed an elder to the sect's secret vault to make a selection. As agreed with Ye Shu earlier, Yan Changlan chose a sword technique and two heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could be used to refine magic weapons.
After getting the things, Yan Changlan happily gave the two heavenly materials and earthly treasures to Ye Shu, while he read the sword skills and studied them in detail with Ye Shu.
The competition has passed, and as far as Yan Changlan is concerned, there is no need to think about the past anymore...
However, although Yan Changlan thinks so, others may not think so.

Baixiaofeng.
Zhou Shouxian, the leader of Baixiao Sect, looked at the closed door and called out, "Cong'er, this is my father."
Soon the door opened and Zhou Shouxian walked in and saw Aiko sitting silently on the table.
Zhou Fangcong had never lost to someone of the same level, but now he was losing to Yan Changlan, who had just joined the sect for a year. He felt very unhappy. Naturally, he locked himself in the room to avoid losing his composure outside.
Zhou Shouxian patted Zhou Fangcong's shoulder with his hand: "Cong'er, don't think too much."
Zhou Fangcong closed his eyes: "My child is useless."
Zhou Shouxian shook his head and said, "It's not that you are useless, but that Yan Changlan is too pushy."
Zhou Fangcong smiled bitterly: "He has such ability, could it be that he has too good qualifications? It's just that he lost to him. The child's reputation is not as good as before, and it is also very detrimental to my Zhou family's plan."
Zhou Shouxian frowned: "His entry is indeed too fast. If it continues for a long time, I'm afraid..."
Zhou Fangcong said: "Father does not need to care about the child's face. In fact, it does not need to last long. In another year and a half or even less, the child will be completely replaced by Junior Brother Yan."
Zhou Shouxian hesitated: "If you really don't want to see Cong'er, as a father, you can think of a way to let him die 'accidentally'. Since he is a dead person, he will naturally never compete with my son again."
Zhou Fangcong said hurriedly: "Father, no! Although the child is jealous of his qualifications, if he is removed just for a defeat, the child may have inner demons."
Zhou Shouxian looked at Zhou Fangcong carefully for a while, and when he saw his sincere expression, he twitched his beard and smiled: "Very good, Cong'er, you know the general situation, so that you can be qualified for the position of sect leader."
Zhou Fangcong was startled: "Father was taking the exam just now?"
Zhou Shouxian nodded: "As a sect leader, your own honor and disgrace are of course important, but it is also very important to consider the sect. Yan Changlan has excellent qualifications, but I am afraid he is not qualified for the position of sect leader, and he has no ambitions... Cong'er, he may be better in cultivation. You score a few points, but the rest may not reach you. My father tested you before because he was worried that you would lose your character due to defeat. If this is true, your path in the future may become narrower and narrower, and in the end the road will be hopeless. Good. Now, Cong'er, you have never let your father down."
Zhou Fangcong sighed: "I have made my father worried." He paused, "Junior brother Yan is so talented, he will definitely achieve a lot in the future. Having him here will also be of great benefit to our Baixiao Sect. If the child wants to become the sect leader, he cannot So short-sighted.”
Zhou Shouxian nodded: "However, if he is here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to allocate more resources of Baixiao Sect to my son."
