After a brief stay in the Rising Sun Palace, Du Ce hurried back to the Tianyun Palace and continued to review the scoring information of spirit testing. There were many participating disciples, and it took a whole night of sorting to complete the classification of the realms of the participating disciples.
With a loud sound of horns, the Cloud Exploration Conference officially entered the martial arts competition stage. Gold lists with lists of disciples of different realms were pasted in every direction of the square.
As soon as the list was posted, it was surrounded by disciples. There were exclamations, sighs, and various discussions. Although they already knew the realm they belonged to, Lan Sheng and Zhuling still squeezed under the gold list to see if there were any familiar brothers.
Lan Sheng roughly scanned the list of Tanyun Realm names. They were all unfamiliar names, but he saw two familiar names - Yu Wen Haosheng and Xia Wei. Not only did he curse in his heart, why do he keep encountering them? They, if you encounter them in a competition, you must make them unable to eat and walk around.
Just when Lan Sheng wanted to take a closer look, someone shouted: "That is Meng Lansheng, she is still in the realm of exploring the clouds."
Someone else echoed: "Indeed, I didn't expect that he is not tall, but he is quite strong." After yesterday's spirit test, Lan Sheng has become a celebrity in Yuntian.
Gradually, there were more and more voices discussing her under the gold list. Lan Sheng lowered his head and wanted to sneak away.
In vain, someone shouted: "Lan Sheng is next to me." Then the crowd surged.
Everyone said: "Where?" "Let me take a look?"
Lan Sheng suddenly felt bad, covered his face with his hands, hunched his waist, and quickly slipped out of the crowd, fearing that he would not be able to get out if he took one step slower.
As soon as he stepped out of the crowd, the person's voice came from behind again: "Stop squeezing, she ran away."
"Quiet!" Du Ce's voice came at just the right time, and the noisy crowd suddenly became quite quiet: "The disciples of the Touching Realm went to Qianyue Lake to gather, and the disciples of the Tanyun Realm went to the top of Duanri Cliff to gather. The martial arts competition officially started at three o'clock. .”
Following Du Ce's notice, the crowd divided into two groups and headed to Qianyue Lake and Duanri Cliff respectively. Lan Sheng and Zhuling also followed the team heading to Duanri Cliff.
There is Bairi Mountain in the sky. This mountain is densely covered with steep rocks and barren of vegetation. Apart from a few pines and cypresses, there is very little vegetation on the mountain. There is a cliff in the mountains, which looks like cutting off Bairi Mountain vertically, so it is named Broken Sun Cliff.
Lan Sheng held a pine and cypress in both hands and glanced at Broken Sun Cliff. His heart suddenly tightened and he felt dizzy.
Duanri Cliff is the steepest cliff in Yuntian. Looking down from the top of the cliff, you can see endless cliffs and stone walls, with a hazy mist at the end and no bottom of the cliff.
A gust of cool wind blew by, making Lan Sheng shiver. He quickly ran to Zhuling and grabbed her arm: "Senior sister, are we just going to compete down here?" Lan Sheng's face turned pale, and even his tone was confused. Shivering followed.
"Yes, we all hold wooden swords and compete on the cliff. The one who falls to the bottom of the cliff first will be the loser." Zhu Ling also glanced down the cliff. She was much calmer than Lan Sheng.
This is no wonder Lan Sheng is timid. The main reason is that she has never participated in actual combat until now, and she feels a little intimidated by the thought of competing on a cliff. After seeing the steepness of Broken Sun Cliff, most of the other disciples behaved similarly to Lan Sheng.
"Senior Sister Lan Sheng, are you scared?" Yuwen Haosheng said with a faint smile, and walked up to Lan Sheng, accompanied by his ten thousand year follower Xia Wei.
Lan Sheng didn't look at Yu Wen Haosheng, and muttered: "I'm not afraid." He was indeed a little timid in his heart. If he fell from the cliff, he would not be broken into pieces.
Lan Sheng's thoughts were clearly understood by Yuwen Haosheng, who explained: "In Tanyun realm, the focus of the competition is on the understanding of Qi control and Qinggong, as well as the fearless courage. What you see in front of you is just an illusion."
"Illusion?" Lan Sheng blinked his big eyes, a little confused, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized before Yu Wen Haosheng could answer: "We were not so high when we went up the mountain."
But then his eyes dimmed again: "That's not very high."
"Lan Sheng is so smart." Du Ce looked at Lan Sheng's drooping eyes and said with a smile. He paused and continued: "The clouds and mist at the bottom of the cliff are all illusions. The bottom is actually covered with silk nets. Even if you fall, You can’t even fall to death.”
"Tiancan Silk Net? How do you know?" Lan Sheng was a little confused. How could a disciple who had just climbed up the mountain know more than him? He couldn't be fooling himself.
Yuwen Haosheng disagreed and said lightly: "I saw it."
"Did you see it?" Lan Sheng couldn't figure it out even more, and bravely took a few glances down the cliff. The bottom of the cliff is still shrouded in clouds and mist, and nothing can be seen.
"Lan Sheng, you can't see it." Zhuling said, looking Yuwen Haosheng up and down in her eyes. This man is not simple, and he will definitely be a formidable opponent in the competition.
Lan Sheng still wanted to ask questions, but the horn sound for the start of the competition sounded at this moment. At the same time, dozens of sword rainbows flashed across the sky, and the elders of Yuntian came to the viewing platform of Jiuzhou Peak with their swords.
Jiuzhou Peak is the highest mountain in the sky. It sits opposite Baizhou Mountain. Between the two mountains is Qianyue Lake. Looking down from the Jiuzui Peak, you can see the entire Tianyun Palace, and you can also have a panoramic view of the competition venues of three different realms.
Immediately afterwards, the executive disciple who organized the competition shouted: "It's three o'clock and the competition is about to begin. The first match is Meng Lansheng versus Bai Ning. Two disciples, please step forward and take your seats."
Lan Sheng was shocked when he heard his name. He didn't expect that it would be him in the first competition, and he lamented that his fate was bad.
Lan Sheng stepped forward and took the wooden sword handed to her by the executioner disciple. Bai Ning was already waiting for her at the cliff entrance with the wooden sword in hand.
After the two of them bowed their hands to each other, Bai Ning glanced down and jumped off the Broken Sun Cliff.
Lan Sheng didn't want to show weakness, so he closed his eyes slightly and was about to jump down. However, because of the anxiety in his heart, he staggered a little while jumping and fell down the cliff. A scream of "Ah" came from the bottom of the cliff. The falling Lan Sheng hit Bai Ning on the cliff, and then there was another scream.
All the disciples present were dumbfounded, and there was silence on the top of the cliff. Then all the disciples turned into talkative women, and there was a burst of noisy discussion on the top of the cliff:
"She is yesterday's Meng Lansheng..."
"So that's it, it's really extraordinary..."
"She is the disciple of Immortal Yunxu..."
At the same time, the atmosphere on the observation deck of Jiuzhou Peak was awkward. Immortal Yunxu frowned and frowned, and the elders did not dare to comment on Lan Sheng. They wanted to praise but couldn't.
Because the speed of falling was so fast, the executioner disciples had not officially announced the start of the competition, and seemed a little confused. Finally, they decided to start the second competition first, and then restart the first competition when Lan Sheng and Bai Ning were ready. .
After about a stick of incense, Lan Sheng climbed to the top of Duanri Cliff again.
After this fall, the name Meng Lansheng became famous in the sky, and disciples kept saying hello to her along the way. After going to the sky, Lan Sheng blushed with embarrassment for the first time and wished he could find a gap to get in.
Lan Sheng waited for a long time, as if it had been a year, and finally heard the voice of the executing disciple: "The first competition will start again, Meng Lansheng vs. Bai Ning, two disciples, please come forward and take your seats."
"Lan Sheng, don't be nervous." Zhuling straightened Lan Sheng's clothes and gently stroked Lan Sheng's head.
"What you see is all illusion. Don't look down if you are afraid." Yu Wen Haosheng warned.
Lan Sheng said "hmm" and stepped forward to the edge of the cliff again.
With the experience last time, Lan Sheng was not impatient this time. He held on to the pine trees on the edge of the cliff, spotted the borrowing point under the cliff, adjusted his posture and jumped down, successfully grabbing the vines entrenched on the cliff. , stabilized his figure after a while of shaking.
Looking down from the top, it is a cliff, but when you are there, it is not so steep. You can see some pines and cypresses and kudzu vines on the cliff, as well as some raised rocks for support.
After a moment, the voice of the executing disciple came from the top of the cliff: "The competition begins."
Bai Ning responded and started to attack. A stream of spiritual power came quickly, and Lan Sheng hurriedly avoided it.
After several fights, Lan Sheng also figured out his tricks. In terms of strength, he was much stronger than her. However, he was unable to show his true strength because he was not adapted to the environment on the cliff. However, the gap in cultivation was obvious, and Lan Sheng was unable to use it. He hit the cliff. Fortunately, Lan Sheng had been running around in the mountains and forests since he was a child. He was agile and could avoid his attacks every time.
"Who do you think can win between the two of them?" Master Yun Sheng looked at the two fighting at Duanri Cliff and asked Master Yunxu.
Due to the gap in cultivation, Lan Sheng was always at a disadvantage, and the competition gradually turned into a one-sided pursuit.
Master Yunxu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Brother, I have confidence in my disciple." He glanced at Lan Sheng from the corner of his eye.
"But she, this situation is not good for her now." Yun Shengxian shook his head gently.
"Hahaha, senior brother, take a closer look." Yunxu Shangxian said with a charming smile. He saw that Lan Sheng was deliberately retaining his strength and constantly exposed his flaws in order to lure the opponent to attack and consume his physical strength.
Yun Shengxian looked carefully and smiled brightly: "I see, after being the master for a long time, people have become dull." Then he asked: "Junior brother, have you ever thought about accepting more disciples?"
Due to the approaching catastrophe, Yuntian has recruited many disciples in the past two years. Most of the participating disciples in this cloud exploration conference have low cultivation levels, and the distribution of disciples in different realms is seriously skewed.
There are less than 300 disciples in the Tanyun realm, while the number of disciples in the Kuanwei and Touching realms both accounts for more than 1,200. The overall quality of Yuntian's disciples is declining. In order for Yuntian to develop steadily, it is urgent to digest and expand this batch of students. disciple.
"No plans yet." Yunxu Shangxian sighed. He already had a headache after accepting Lan Sheng. If he accepted another Rising Sun Palace, he might not be able to save it.
Yunxu Shangxian Xi Jingjing, except for the new Lan Sheng, he has never accepted any other disciples in these years.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Yun Shengxian did not press any further, and instead asked other elders if they had chosen the candidate they liked.
Looking towards the martial arts training ground and Qianyue Lake, the fight was now in full swing, and cheers could be heard from time to time. On the Broken Sun Cliff, Lan Sheng was still fighting with Bai Ning. Bai Ning's physical strength had been gradually exhausted and he began to fall into a disadvantage.
After dodging a sword energy, Lan Sheng clenched his wooden sword and swung an invisible wave. But at the same time, Bai Ning also swung a sword energy. The two sword energy collided, and the huge impact knocked the two of them off. Fly out.
In an instant, Lan Sheng swung out a sword energy again, and Bai Ning was hit in the middle, unable to find a point of leverage, and fell off the cliff.
Lan Sheng stabbed the wooden sword into the cliff with all his strength, stabilizing his body, but then there was a "click" and the wooden sword broke and fell to the bottom of the cliff.
Because the wooden sword buffered for some time, Lan Sheng fell later than Bai Ning, and the battle was narrowly won.
