The second day.
In the early morning, Yun Shu and everyone walked towards the martial arts arena one after another.
In the martial arts arena.
Wherever Yun Shu walked, everyone consciously moved out of the way.
For nothing else.
Just out of respect for the strong.
For them.
Yun Shu has long been as famous as his top disciple.
That's the big deal.
So they looked at Yun Shu no differently than they looked at Duanmu Yue.
Even the many disciples of Jinding Sect looked at him with respect.
Nothing else.
It seems that no one disrespects the strong men of the younger generation.
They are all the best among men.
This kind of respect even goes beyond the relationship within the sect.
It's just respect here.
If it were in the outside world and in a hostile state, there would be no ambiguity about what to do.
At least it comes from the heart now.
Yun Shu sat in his own seat, in a corner on the edge. This was the area of Wanjiang Pavilion. He didn't look like he was in an inconspicuous place, but everyone seemed to form a circle around him.
Yun Shu, "..."
The place where he was originally transferred was already on the edge, okay, but now he is surrounded in the middle.
"Senior Brother Yunshu."
"Senior Brother Yun."
"Junior Brother Yun."
People coming and going, no matter who they are, seem to be here to say hello.
Yun Shu, "..." He responded with a smile, his face stiff with laughter, and the group of people sat down.
"Boy Yun, come forward and have a seat. There will be your competition today." The leader of Xuanjian Peak said from the front. His voice was very rough, and many people heard it.
Consciously, you have to make way.
Yun Shu, "..."
Didn't he mean to be so ostentatious?
But no matter what, it seems that he is already a symbol of the sect, and there is nothing wrong with sitting in the middle.
Beside him were Li Zheyan and Yanagawa.
The two seemed to be thinking about something. All in all, today's competition didn't seem that important to them.
After Yun Shu sat over, he heard what the two were discussing.
They are all opinions on this competition and the comparison of the strength of these twenty people.
There is no doubt that among these twenty people, their sect seems to have many fewer disciples than the Jinding Sect.
There is nothing they can do about this. They know it well and are accustomed to it. However, there are indeed many top-notch combat powers.
However, what the two of them said next was not very pleasant.
"I guarantee with 50,000 spirit stones that among the top three in this competition, there will definitely be two from my Wanjian Pavilion." Yanagawa said.
"I won't bet with you." Li Zheyan curled his lips slightly.
To him, fifty thousand spirit stones were nothing, but there was no need to waste it on Yanagawa.
"Junior brother, what do you think?"
"I don't want to read it." Yun Shu shook his head.
There was no need for him to watch, because even though he was prepared and understood the other disciples, he would not underestimate himself. He still had confidence in himself.
As for what the patriarch said, he also remembered it in his heart.
The Patriarch said that Nie Lingshuang seemed to have pretty good strength, and she had the heritage of a strong person, which seemed to add a lot to her strength.
As for other people.
Duan Muyue was almost universally recognized as being strong, and no one doubted his strength.
Even the Patriarch said that the strength Yun Shu showed in the last competition with Xiao Jing might not be enough for Duanmu Yue.
Then there is nothing we can do.
This guy is so strong, what else can he do?
I can only show a little more strength.
Chu Huangyue also arrived. She sat aside and did not interfere too much with these disciples. Among these male disciples, it seemed a bit awkward that he was the only female disciple, but she would not care so much.
Except for Yun Shu, these male disciples together were not taken seriously by her.
Yun Shu glanced at Chu Huangyue beside him, and Chu Huangyue also looked over. The two nodded to each other, which was regarded as a greeting.
The two of them don't seem to have such a tacit understanding, but they both belong to the taciturn type, but there seems to be something different about this reticence.
Yun Shu is the kind of person who doesn't talk much, but he must do his best in whatever he wants him to do.
Chu Huangyue has arrogant capital and is also arrogant.
She didn't need to overlook anyone, and these people didn't have much significance to her that deserved attention.
This is Chu Huangyue today, a person with strong self-confidence.
But when facing Yun Shu, there will still be some pressure, and I don't know when I will be able to defeat him head-on.
This is what she has in mind.
At this moment, everyone looked towards the arena, where an elder was already reading out the rules of the competition.
Yanagawa had already explained the rules to him yesterday.
He only has one competition today. If he wins today, he can advance to the top sixteen.
If you lose, there will be nothing left. No one will remember the loser.
And there is no need to rank the losers.
They currently have a total of twenty-seven disciples who are still eligible to participate in the war. Among these disciples, less than half will be eliminated, and those who remain are the top disciples from each major sect.
They are all geniuses.
However, there are also grades of genius.
There are also priorities. This light priority also refers to the different strengths and different speeds of reaching a certain realm.
If you don't meet expectations this time, you can put it into the next big competition, because there is only one year left, and you can completely regroup.
This is not a competition to define yourself, either.
It’s just a matter of gaining experience and seeing the world.
This kind of competition between sects can better and more intuitively see the overall strength of each major sect.
Only communication can make progress, and no sect can advance to the same level by being complacent.
"Okay, let's each take the stage." The elder said to everyone after reading out the rules.
They each took the stage, and Yun Shu also stood up.
"The first arena: Li Hu, Wei Wei."
"The second arena: Chu Huangyue, Ling Feng."
"..."
"The thirteenth arena: Hu Xia, Lu Ling'er."
Yun Shu had been waiting for his name, but it wasn't until the thirteenth stage that he even heard Duan Muyue's name. In short, he didn't have himself.
Next, the elder took a look here and said, "Yun Shu: get a bye!"
Yun Shu, "..."
Is there such a good thing?
Fourteen people were promoted from the thirteen arenas, and the remaining two were selected based on the votes of many elders, which even included several votes from people from the three major sects.
The strength of these two people must be sufficient, otherwise what can they do if they are selected?
And there is no need to worry about favoritism, because even if they can force their own disciples to come up, if they don't have the strength, they are still cannon fodder.
There are indeed some differences in this promotion method.
Because there will be some super strong disciples who may be eliminated.
For example, among the disciples Duan Muyue met, no matter who he met, that person might be eliminated, so they chose this method. Even if they were eliminated, if their strength was really outstanding, they could There is a chance to resurrect and fight again.
The results may be good.
Yun Shu didn't pay too much attention and sat down again.
He has no intention of going back. He is not in a hurry to practice, and if he is in a high-intensity state all the time, it may not be so effective.
He also planned to see what level of strength this group of people had reached.
The arrangements for this round were not random, but were made after the elders had considered them.
After the first stage, they can initially figure out the strength of various disciples, and then use the weakest and strongest to fight, and then fight with the next weaker ones.
So as we get to the later stage, the strength may be extremely close.
It also looks better.
None of the previous ones are challenging. If the strongest one fights the weakest one, they may not be able to survive even one move.
Although this method of elimination is cruel, it is also quite reasonable. This is the agreement of the four major sects. If the strength is weak, it can only be like this.
However, as the host of Danxia Sect, their disciples are the weakest.
This seemed to have dug a hole for themselves, but there was nothing they could do, so they still strictly enforced it.
"Junior Brother Yun Shu actually got a bye, but think about it, if you defeat your opponent with one move, it won't be too good-looking." Li Zheyan sighed at the side, and then he walked onto the ring.
Yanagawa also came over, "Junior brother Yun is really lucky. Chu Huangyue went up to have a fight, but you just won by lying down."
"This doesn't prove that I'm luckier than her." Yun Shu smiled and shook his head, "It's just that they may have some considerations."
"I think so. He may not want their disciples to lose to us." The leader of Xuanjian Peak curled his lips slightly at the side, "He thinks you are not that strong. If you are defeated by Duanmuyue, you will be better." It’s easy to say, because anyone who plays against him will fail.”
"In your words, you are a rising star, but you are so strong. Comparatively speaking, losing at your hands would be even more embarrassing."
This is because they are manipulating the rules. There is nothing that can be done about it, and it is harmless.
It can even be said that Yun Shu still won, so naturally he would not blame anything.
In contrast, Duanmuyue continues to compete.
It seems that if you think about it this way, it is not so difficult to accept.
Yanagawa sighed softly on the side, "So that's what they had in mind. I didn't expect that they looked so thick-eyed, but the ravines in their hearts were so deep."
"Otherwise, these people are all mature and have their own plans." The leader of Xuanjian Peak smiled disdainfully, "There is no good thing among these alchemists."
Yun Shu glanced at him, pursed his lips slightly, and said nothing more.
Sure enough, colleagues are enemies, this sentence is indeed correct.
They were all alchemists, but it was my own family who started fighting first.
But this was just a slander, and he didn't say much, "Just have the next competition and draw lots yourself. They don't have any chance to manipulate. Danxia Sect always comes last every time. As for us, ten thousand Jiange’s strength is almost the same as that of Canglan Sect.”
"Aren't they the same?" Yun Shu was slightly surprised.
From this point of view, Canglan Sect's strength does not seem to be that weak.
"They are comparable, but this is just the strength of the competition. There is no strong person in the Golden Core stage among their sects. Even if there is, there may only be one, that is, the Canglan Sect of the previous generation. I don’t know if the saint is dead or not.” The leader of Xuanjian Peak said, “Their strength is still inferior to Wanjiange Pavilion.”
In other words, the inheritance is still very powerful, but there are few strong people in their sect, which will cause some phenomena that appear to be weak.
But there is no way. Even if Wanjiange is stronger, how strong can it be?
The leader's strength has regressed a lot.
Other foundations may not be so effective.
Naturally, one cannot laugh at a hundred steps by taking fifty steps.
So he just sighed.
As for worries about the sect, there seem to be many.
"Chu Huangyue is still very strong." Liu Chuan's voice came from the side.
Chu Huangyue was dealing with a disciple of the third level of Foundation Establishment. They were almost in the same realm, but their levels seemed to be different.
Definitely not a level of strength.
He was almost completely crushed, and after a few moves, he was knocked off the ring.
As for why he passed several moves, it was because the methods and techniques Chu Huangyue used to display his strength were also extremely basic.
Basic skills and techniques.
But the strength was indeed completely different. She was facing a Jinding Sect disciple. The disciple covered his chest and said nothing more, so he could only admit defeat.
"Duanmu Yue is much more simple and rude." Yanagawa said softly.
His eyes seemed to be staring at every strong person on the scene.
Chu Huangyue was by no means the first to complete the challenge. Even though she had this strength, she did not show it in this battle.
It seems that it is not so thorough.
It's just that Duanmuyue did show the strength of his younger generation of powerful disciples. With just one palm, he knocked the opposite disciple off the ring.
But that's not the most shocking thing.
False elixir period!
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.
In the false elixir period, this level of strength among the major sects may be at the same level as the head, at least the first one, and it is also the kind of extremely peak first one. In fact, most of the top sects do not have this kind of strength. strength.
Lei Lingen is indeed terrifyingly powerful.
With this level of strength, he is definitely a very focused figure in this competition.
According to their previous information, this person was only at the fifth level of the foundation building stage. As for the fake elixir stage, it was just everyone's guess. Although it was not groundless, many people couldn't believe it.
Even the leader of Xuanjian Peak next to him was looking at the center with shocked eyes.
It's a fake elixir period. Even if he goes up there, he may not get much benefit.
Is a person of this level really just a disciple?
It’s just that he recovered from the shock in a short time. Just kidding, fake elixir period, although you are stronger than me, but among the disciples in my sect, Chu Huangyue and Yun Shu, who can you beat? ?
The strength of the two of them has even reached the Golden Core stage in the competition within the sect.
Even so, he was a little uneasy.
The Jinding Sect is so powerful that they can naturally associate the fate of the entire sect from one disciple.
It can also represent the strength of the sect.
The opening of the sword pavilion may not be obvious in this competition.
However, in the next period of time, the strength of their disciples will inevitably improve by leaps and bounds.
Even so, there is still a gap visible to the naked eye from Jinding Sect. If it can rise, it will be very optimistic.
All in all, his mood is still very complicated now. Seeing that the disciples of other sects are strong, even if there are strong disciples in his own family, he is not so balanced in his heart.
As for the disciples behind him, they would unconsciously compare Yun Shu with Duanmu Yue.
The conclusion drawn may be that the two are similar, but it is definitely Yun Shusheng.
Although this was intended to favor the disciples of his sect, after seeing Yun Shu's powerful strength, their confidence in him more than doubled, so they felt this from the bottom of their hearts.
The attitudes of the other two major sects are also different.
But no matter what, they all admitted that the disciple in front of them was indeed extremely powerful.
The same goes for Chu Huangyue.
Chu Huangyue's strength has always been the focus of discussion, but Yun Shu's huge momentum made them seem to have lowered their expectations for her. However, with the strength she has shown these few times, they have already defeated Chu Huangyue. Yue and Nie Lingshuang were comparing each other.
Because both of them are women, they are equally powerful.
Invisibly, they have regarded the younger generation of Wanjiange as being comparable to or even surpassing Jindingmen.
However, soon, their eyes focused on Li Zheyan, the third disciple of Wanjiang Pavilion.
He is also the only three disciples who can be noticed by them.
Li Zheyan's strength is pretty good, but the disciple of the Canglan Sect opposite him, although his strength is at the third level in the foundation building stage, has already reached the peak of the third level. From this point of view, he has not taken any advantage.
He is also the fourth level who has just broken through, and he spends a large part of his time on the auxiliary profession.
This is especially true during this time.
"Chu Huangyue's strength is not bad, but when it comes to Li Zheyan, how can he fight back and forth." Liu Chuan shook his head gently.
Although it can be seen that he is still suppressing the opponent, he is not suppressing it much, and it is not like Yun Shu. No matter what kind of strength the opponent uses, he can steadily suppress one end.
Just like an ordinary fight, there is no big difference, and the two of them don't seem to expect to use any trump cards. If they compete like this, it may take forever to determine the winner.
This is destined to be an extremely long process.
The two of them were inseparable, as if they were stuck together, and they didn't know when they were the same, so Yanagawa said this.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the leader of Xuanjian Peak turned around and said, "How about you go to the ring and have a try? I want to see what ranking you can get, so just stay here with peace of mind. Picky.”
"No, no." Yanagawa waved his hands quickly, and he knew he had said the wrong thing.
It's just that although the actions are sincere, the attitude is still the same.
The leader of Xuanjian Peak snorted softly, but naturally didn't say anything more.
He is the type of person who protects calves. As for his own family, although he can say whatever he wants, it does not prevent him from refuting it.
Soon, the first round of competition was basically over.
Only a few disciples are still struggling to support them. They also feel that winning or losing is not important, because rising in the rankings will not improve them much, but they still enjoy the process.
This is a competition, and it is also a discussion. It is beneficial to both, and you can be more aware of your own shortcomings.
Therefore, even though their defeat has been determined, they are still constantly looking for opportunities to break the situation.
But in some arenas, the fighting is really back-and-forth.
Take Li Zheyan for example.
The Canglan Sect disciples on the opposite side may not be able to tell the winner for a moment. They have indeed tried their best. The next thing to compare is consumption, and who has more spiritual energy.
Although it has no meaning, the competition itself is meaningful.
In the end, Li Zheyan nearly won after another hour.
After today's fight, I may need to take a break. The gap between the two is almost too small to be calculated, but I still win with the advantage of realm.
The first round of the big competition, this may not be the first round, but they are still willing to call it the first round, because it was a selection before, and now is the real competition.
Almost all of these sixteen people are familiar.
During this period of time, everyone in Danxia Sect has made their own names, and almost everyone knows their names and recognizes their faces.
Duan Muyue, Nie Lingshuang, Hong Qing, Li Zheyan, Chu Huangyue, Yun Shu, Qin Bu...
No suspense.
The sixteen disciples were consistent with what they had thought before.
Next came the voting, and everyone unanimously voted for the Canglan Sect disciple who had fought with Li Zheyan many times.
With his performance today, it can be said to be very good.
Moreover, being able to fight Li Zheyan back and forth with the third level of foundation building strength proves that he has the strength to continue on.
Li Zheyan looked helpless at the result.
"I hope I won't meet him next time. I think he is about to break through. It may not be so easy next time we meet."
He was really helpless. This person's strength could be considered extremely strong. He was also a genius disciple in the Canglan Sect. His strength was ridiculously strong. If they met again after breaking through, he couldn't say that he would definitely win.
Yanagawa glanced at him, "You two are close in strength, but after all, you are stronger. If he breaks through, you two may not be even close to each other."
"It's really fate."
Yun Shu nodded on the side, indeed.
