As soon as Miao Chunmei announced the results, bursts of cheers and applause erupted from the scene——
"Okay, Madman Wei is indeed a madman!"
"It's great to be able to break through in the battle!"
"Crazy Wei, you are so awesome!"
"This battle is so exciting!"
…
However, some were happy and some were sad. Xia Ziyan, who had been standing quietly under the ring, was in a bad mood at the moment.
Challenge after challenge and failure again and again, she became extremely depressed.
I thought that this challenge was a sure one. After all, Xia Ziyan's cultivation level was one level higher than that of Wei Xiaolong, and Xia Ziyan's martial arts skills were also very powerful. He was considered a master among the outer disciples. Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaolong actually broke through in the battle. Xia Ziyan's challenge failed.
Recently, she had been holding a breath in her heart, like it was stuck in her throat, unable to swallow it in or spit it out, so she concentrated on practicing all day long, hoping to introduce the breath into her body as soon as possible and enter the Qi refining period.
She did find that sense of Qi, and it seemed that she was just a little bit close to succeeding. However, the layer of window paper could not be pierced, and it was always just a little bit close, and she could never get the Qi into her body.
The excitement I felt when I first started has long since dissipated, leaving only reluctance and frustration.
It seems that since the first day she met Xiao Yinyue, she has been unable to cross this hurdle and her anger has not been smooth. Could it be that she is her nemesis?
On the first day, he was slapped by Wei Xiaoxue, and his arm was broken in the first challenge after joining. Not long after the arm was reattached, his cousin Xia Ziyan failed again in challenging Wei Xiaolong.
Why can't I get this tone out of my mouth?
Xia Zixuan next to her saw her devastated look and comforted her:
"Zi Yan, don't be too sad. There will still be a long time to come. We will always have a chance to defeat them."
At this moment, Xia Ziyan had already stepped down from the ring and came to their side. His mood seemed to be quite stable, and he seemed to not care about winning or losing this challenge.
However, he still said to Xia Ziyan with an apologetic look:
"Zi Yan, I'm sorry, I couldn't avenge you successfully."
Xia Ziyan wanted to shake his head and say it didn't matter, but when he remembered what everyone had said just now, he blurted out a complaint:
"Why didn't you attack with all your strength from the beginning? They all said you had a chance to defeat Wei Xiaolong."
Hearing such complaints, Xia Ziyan felt very uncomfortable. However, seeing his cousin's frustrated expression, he patiently explained:
"Actually, my real good opportunity was not at the beginning, but in the short period of time before he broke through. At that time, if I had to fight back with all my strength, I had a great chance of defeating him. Unfortunately, I didn't know at the time that he would break through. If If he doesn’t break through, my strategy is also right.”
What he said was correct. If Wei Xiaolong failed to break through, he could continue to consume Wei Xiaolong's spiritual power, and then find a better opportunity to counterattack, or he could defeat his opponent.
It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in this world. In battle, good opportunities are fleeting. If he fails to seize it, he will lose.
Feeling that the people around them were pointing and talking at them, several people felt a sense of frustration. They didn't want to continue standing here and being watched and laughed at, so they left in a hurry.
When I arrived, I was full of confidence, but when I left, I ran away like a bereaved dog.
Not far away, Wei Xiaoxue looked at their leaving figures and said to Xiao Yinyue:
"Yueyue, they should be able to remember this time and won't cause trouble for us again, right?"
Xiao Yinyue shook her head with a bitter smile and replied slowly:
"On the contrary, the hatred between us has become even greater. Before, only Xia Ziyan lost face, but now the entire Xia family feels that they have lost face. Therefore, this knot may not be untied."
At this time, Wei Xiaolong happened to walk up to the two of them, and he said easily:
"Don't be afraid of trouble. We don't have to take the initiative to cause trouble, but since something comes to us, we must not be afraid of trouble. In the sect, the Xia family is not a dominant family, and it is not to the extent that they can do whatever they want."
Wei Xiaoxue said with admiration:
"Brother, you are so awesome. Not only did you defeat your opponent, you also successfully upgraded!"
Wei Xiaolong answered casually while leading the two of them outside:
"This is called a coincidence. I have reached the peak of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. If I practiced on my own, I would be able to break through after a while. However, this battle gave me a chance to understand, and I broke through."
A few people were talking when they suddenly saw an immortal master in his fifties walking towards the square with a large group of guests outside the square. He pointed at the buildings of the academy and introduced them to the guests with a smile. .
Looking at the group of guests, there must be one hundred or twenty or thirty people, among whom there are about ten older ones, who seem to be teachers, and the rest are young people between fourteen, fifteen and twenty years old.
They were all wearing uniform blue clothes, and the team was neatly organized. At first glance, they were disciples of a certain sect.
Wei Xiaoxue asked curiously: "Brother, who are those people?"
Wei Xiaolong looked at the group of people and replied: "They are from the Biyun Sect of the Bihai Country in the south."
Wei Xiaoxue wondered: "Then why did they come to our sect?"
Wei Xiaolong smiled and explained: "There are often some exchanges between sects, saying that they learn from each other and enhance friendship to promote the development of the sect."
Wei Xiaoxue turned to Xiao Yinyue and said, "Yueyue, I think their clothes are so beautiful, much better than those of our sect."
A group of people all dressed in blue clothes looked really pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Yinyue shook her head and said: "That's because you are used to seeing the sect's white, cyan and gray clothes. Suddenly a different color appears, and you will feel bright. In fact, if you look at it every day, it will be like that. , all quite monotonous.”
While they were talking, those people had already arrived in the square. Because they had just played in the ring, there were many people in the square and it seemed very lively. At this moment, seeing the arrival of such a group of strange guests, the people in the square became even more lively. They didn't want to leave, so they were all talking in small groups.
Wei Xiaolong also introduced Xiao Yinyue and Wei Xiaoxue:
"The person in charge of receiving guests is Zhao Jin, the master of our sect's foreign affairs hall. With him are teachers from the academy and some people with special talents from the sect."
Wei Xiaoxue asked in confusion: "What is a special talent?"
Wei Xiaolong replied casually: "Such as poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and other talents!"
Wei Xiaoxue immediately took Xiao Yinyue's arm and said, "Then we can go and communicate with them Yueyue."
Xiao Yinyue immediately whispered: "Shh, don't talk nonsense, you will make people laugh."
Wei Xiaoxue said cautiously: "Yueyue, you have read many books and have such rich knowledge. You must be qualified to communicate with them!"
Wei Xiaolong also approached the two and whispered: "Zongmen is a place that emphasizes qualifications. Every talent needs to be assessed and obtain a grade certificate before being qualified to participate in this kind of exchange."
Xiao Yinyue also said softly: "Actually, such an exchange is not very interesting. It is just a fight for a false reputation."
Having lived for two lifetimes, she really has little interest in participating in such exchanges. It feels quite childish.
Wei Xiaolong looked around and found that the attention of the people around him was completely attracted by the group of visitors from afar, so he smiled lightly and said:
"Although it is just a false reputation, the sect actually attaches great importance to it. This is also a reflection of the sect's comprehensive strength. If the sect can have advantages in all aspects, its reputation will be better."
Wei Xiaoxue couldn't help but asked curiously: "Compared with our sect and the Biyun sect, who is stronger?"
Wei Xiaolong smiled bitterly and said: "Fifteen years ago, when our sect had Xiao Beichen, we suppressed them in all directions. I don't know why. Many of the senior brothers and sisters in that group were very powerful. But , since Xiao Beichen was hunted down and disappeared, the overall strength of our sect seems to have dropped a lot, and now it is far behind Biyun Sect."
Wei Xiaoxue curled her lips and said, "Then if they come here to communicate, wouldn't they compare us to everyone in our sect!"
Wei Xiaolong replied helplessly: "That's true. Every once in a while, there will always be a sect that comes to communicate. They come and show off their power and leave with a full load. In the past ten years, our sect has never been proud and proud."
Wei Xiaoxue wondered: "Why did you come back with a full load?"
Wei Xiaolong explained: "In exchanges and competitions, don't we have to come up with some rewards? Although the guests will also come up with some things as rewards, as the hosts, we must come up with more things. Our people will win." If not, then the guests will naturally win!"
Wei Xiaoxue was surprised: "This...isn't this a loss of face and dignity?"
Xiao Yinyue said subconsciously: "This is called losing your wife and losing your troops."
Wei Xiaolong also looked at the group of guests and said calmly: "This is the communication between sects. There is friendship and competition. In the final analysis, competition is the main thing. In the past, when we were strong, we would go to other sects to show off our power in this way. Yes!"
Xiao Yinyue smiled lightly and said: "As the saying goes, in thirty years in Hedong and in thirty years in Hexi, flowers will not bloom for a hundred days. There should be no sect that can maintain its prosperity forever."
Although Wei Xiaolong and his sister were used to Xiao Yinyue's words, this sentence still made Wei Xiaolong's heart feel inexplicably hot. He felt that it was really well said, so he nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, that's what it means. During the more than ten years that Xiao Beichen and the others were here, our sect was invincible. We were really invincible. We don't even know what an opponent is."
At this time, Zhao Jin had already led the guests across the square to a small hill on the edge of the square. This was an excellent viewing platform, which happened to be where Xiao Yinyue and the others were standing at the moment.
Seven Star Academy is built on Tianquan Peak. Although this peak is not the highest, the view from here is very good. Looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful mountains and rivers, which is inexplicably refreshing.
The immortal master who led the Biyun Sect suggested: "The sun is shining brightly and the wind is gentle. Facing such beautiful scenery, if we don't write a poem, we will really be living up to the picturesque mountains and rivers."
Communication is what it is, and challenges can arise at any time and at any time.
His tone was calm and breezy, which was consistent with the situation. The guest was so happy and the host had no choice but to accompany him. Could it be a spoiler?
Zhao Jin felt bitter in her heart, but replied with a gentle smile on her face: "Brother Wang Han's proposal is very good. The beautiful scenery is in front of you. As a scholar, if you don't write a poem, you will really let down the beautiful scenery in front of you!"
