This time the competition will use a double-elimination format for the first time to determine the winner. Disciples who lose in the first round will not be eliminated immediately, but will enter the loser group. Then, the disciples in the loser group will draw lots to compete again. The winner will advance to the next round, and the loser will be eliminated. Afterwards, if the disciples in the winner group fail, they will also fall into the loser group, and then the loser group will draw lots to compete until the ranking is determined.
Finally, the winner's group champion and the loser's group champion will decide the overall championship. Among them, the champion of the upper bracket will win directly if he wins once, while the champion of the loser bracket will have to win twice to achieve the final victory. In this way, the schedule will be greatly lengthened and the influence of luck will be reduced.
In the end, the first one hundred will become Tianyun's official disciples and continue to practice here, while the rest will graduate from practice and return to the world.
Liu Bailu looked at the competition rules on the paper, tapped the table with his slender fingers, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Qing Ya beside him: "Listen up, in this first competition, I want you to lose no matter what." Drop the game and enter the loser group, but you must get the first place back for me. In other words, you can only lose this first game, and you must win the rest. I want you to use the most to win this competition."
"Why, Master, isn't it good to win the championship easily?" Qing Ya asked in confusion.
"I'm not asking you to win this championship. You have been working behind closed doors for the past three years. The level of cultivation is not a complete measure of a person's ability." Liu Bailu explained to Qingya, "Except for me, you have no relationship with anyone else. He has the experience of fighting against others, so he must consolidate his cultivation in constant battles. This competition is an excellent opportunity. As for the champion, it is just a matter of taking advantage of others. "
After the news of the new disciple competition competition came out, the seven branches of Tianyun Mountain became busy, especially the new disciples. They all took the time to practice diligently, hoping to perform well in the competition and achieve better results. If One step away, stuck at the position of 101, which is really a failure.
On the Yaoguang Peak, there was a snap, and Qingya fell to the ground again, and then stood up again.
"Come again."
Qingya kept changing his steps, rushing forward like lightning, leaving a "Z" shaped trace behind him. Qingya's fingers turned into swords, and the fingertips flashed with golden light. It was the first of the thirty-six sword styles, a jade penetrating the rainbow.
Seeing Qing Ya rushing in front of him, Liu Bailu just pushed his white palm forward and easily blocked the sword in Qing Ya's hand.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, Qingya stepped forward and moved sideways to the right of Liu Bailu. At the same time, he raised his right foot and kicked towards Liu Bailu's waist. Liu Bailu turned his body around and leaned towards Qingya, avoiding Qingya's kick. At the same time, he slapped a palm from his waist and landed on Qingya's chest.
This palm seemed to be neither urgent nor slow, weak and weak, but it contained very powerful inner energy, and it knocked Qingya away with one palm.
He fell heavily to the ground again. The energy from Liu Bailu's palm was now rushing through his body. Qingya's mouth was wide open at this moment, but he couldn't make any sound. This burst of pain felt like tearing his body. I couldn't get up for a long time.
Liu Bailu slowly walked over, squatted down, and tapped Qingya's chest. Qingya suddenly felt that the air flowing in his chest dissipated in an instant, and then he exhaled a long breath.
"Come again."
Qing Ya was about to get up, but was held down by Liu Bailu: "Let's stop here today. The competition is approaching. How should we practice or how to practice? Don't you know if it's too much?"
In the blink of an eye, it was seven days later, and the competition for new disciples in Tianyu Mountain officially kicked off on this day.
On the Yaoguang Peak, the master and the apprentice were preparing to set off for the main peak of Tianyun.
This has the advantage of having fewer people. It takes a long time for the other groups to gather people. On this side, the master and the disciple left at the drop of a hat.
"Are you going to fly there with your sword, or should I take you there?" Liu Bailu asked Qingya beside him. Three years have passed. At first, Liu Bailu was a little more than a head taller than Qingya, but now he is slightly shorter than Qingya.
"I'd better fly with my own sword." Qingya scratched his head. Perhaps because of his youthful self-esteem, Qingya no longer wanted Liu Bailu to carry him around like a child.
"Then follow closely." After saying that, Liu Bailu took the lead and flew towards the sky.
Qing Ya also took out the long sword in his hand, and the light breeze on the sword wrapped around Qing Ya's fingertips. With a thought, he flew off the ground. .
At this time, Qingya Yujian flew towards the main peak of Tianyun. Liu Bailu could no longer be seen in front of his eyes. Fortunately, he knew the way to the main peak and would not lose his way in the vast sky.
Suddenly, Qingya saw a white figure flying towards him. It turned out to be Liu Bailu who had gone and returned.
Liu Bailu flew to Qingya's side and wrinkled his delicate eyebrows: "It's too slow. If you fly like this, you won't be able to reach it even after the sun goes down."
After saying that, he picked up Qingya with one hand and held him in front of him. Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him had changed too much from three years ago. He was taller than himself and completely blocked his sight, so Liu Bailu held him in front of him. Qingya moved back and placed it behind his back.
"Hold on tight and don't move."
Qingya put his hands in front of Liu Bailu and hugged her soft and graspable waist. Her soft body had the fragrance of cold plums, which made people indulge in it. Qingya couldn't help but hugged her a little tighter, resting her head on Liu Bailu's back and burying it in her long, silky hair.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the main peak of Tianyun. Three years later, they set foot here again. There was no change at all in Liuyun Square. The waterfalls on the surrounding cliffs fell like the Milky Way, and the clouds in the sky rolled up and disappeared again.
The two of them had delayed their departure for a long time before, so now almost all the disciples from the other branches had arrived, and the vast Liuyun Square was also bustling with activity.
Seeing Qingya stretching his head and looking around, Liu Bailu stretched out his hand, patted Qingya on the head, and said to him: "Stop looking, all the disciples will live on the main peak during the competition these days, and we will meet each other." There are plenty of opportunities, so don’t worry now.”
Qing Ya, who had seen through his thoughts, immediately retracted his head and said with a red face: "That's... that's not the case. I'm not looking for Sister Qing'er."
"I didn't say who it was. You admitted it so generously. Why are you trying to be so strong?"
Looking at the blushing disciple in front of him, Liu Bailu's mood improved, and a smile spread across his face, like ice and snow melting.
At this time, the crowd had already arrived one after another. Under the leadership of the imperial chief, everyone stood in line. Each imperial chief stood at the front, and his disciples lined up behind him. Only six teams were seen in a long queue, except for The team at the far end was short, with only two people, just like at the apprenticeship conference three years ago.
The team around him were uniformly dressed in light blue clothing. The men were tall and straight, and the women were heroic. They should be from Tianquan Peak.
Ji Yunsheng, the leader of Tianquan Peak, was dressed in white and held a long sword in his hand. He looked like an unsheathed sword. Just standing there, he was like a sword reaching the sky, making people intimidated. He really deserves the title of Baiyun Sword Emperor, Qingya sighed secretly.
"Hehehe, Junior Sister Bailu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so beautiful. In the past competitions, Yaoguangfeng never attended, but this time I can let everyone see your skills as a disciple."
As soon as the Baiyun Sword Emperor spoke, his previous momentum disappeared, making Qingya think of the playboys on the streets of Qiantang City who were generally careless.
"Senior Brother Lao Ji is concerned about you." Liu Bailu said calmly without looking at the person next to him.
Ji Yunsheng turned to Qingya and said: "Boy, you have to work harder. You are the only one in Yaoguang Peak, so don't break it early. I also want to see how your master will defeat you." What's the training like?"
Qing Ya was about to speak when Liu Bailu answered: "Don't worry, even if your Tianquan Peak army is wiped out, my disciple will not be eliminated."
"After all these years, junior sister, you are still so rude." Ji Yunsheng was not angry and said with a smile.
Master Dongxuan walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the crowd. The originally playful crowd suddenly became quiet.
"Junior brothers and sisters, as well as all the disciples here, you entered our Tianyun Sect three years ago. Today is the time to test your cultivation achievements. I think everyone already knows the rules of this competition. There are only one hundred people here. People can continue to practice in Tianyun. The competition is cruel, so please give your best, and then please come forward one after another to draw lots to choose the person to fight."
I saw a box behind Master Dongxuan. The box contained slips of paper with everyone's names written on them. Everyone stepped forward to draw the person to fight. The person whose name was drawn stepped forward. After the two met, Then continue to the next round. Of course, when your name is drawn, you put the note back and draw again. The competition will officially begin the next day.
"Shaking Light Peak, Qingya."
A rough voice shouted his name. Qingya looked up and saw a Kaiyang Peak disciple. He was tall and muscular, with veins all over his body like vines. At first glance, he appears to be a man of great strength who specializes in cultivating the physical body.
"I have met my senior brother in Qingya of Yaoguang Peak. We will fight tomorrow. Please give us your advice."
Qingya stepped forward, bowed to the disciple, and then walked back behind Liu Bailu.
