After this "reward increase" was over, the protracted outer door competition finally began.
The leaders and elders of each hall left their station one after another and went to sit on the "rostrum". The deacons of the Dharma Hall left the "rostrum" and went to the "ring" to preside over the upcoming competition.
"The outer sect competition is about to begin. Disciples from each palace quickly come to the arena and draw lots to determine the order of the competition."
Upon hearing the notice, Xu Ke and others quickly stood up, rushed out from the Sinong Palace station, and hurried to the arena.
The group of nine people was divided into three places.
Zhang Lingfeng and three others went to the martial arts arena for high-level disciples, and Gao Zhengzheng and three others went to the martial arts arena for mid-level disciples.
Xu Ke and the other two new disciples came to the competition arena for the new serving disciples.
This giant arena with a radius of 100 feet is presided over by three deacons from the Hall of Transmission.
Two examiners, one main and one assistant, are responsible for organizing and judging the competition process. There is also one person who serves as a protector to prevent accidents during the competition and is also responsible for treating disciples who are accidentally injured.
When they came to the ring, Xu Ke and others showed their identity badges and after verifying their identity, the deacon of the law gave each person an amulet.
This amulet is used to protect disciples from fatal injuries, and it only protects vital parts.
"This amulet can prevent you from fatal injuries. However, once this amulet is activated, it means you have lost."
After the deacon handed out the amulets, he emphasized to everyone, and then waved his hand, "Now, you go to the examiner to draw lots!"
So, Xu Ke and other disciples came to the examiner one after another and lined up to draw lots.
There are a total of twenty-four disciples in eight palaces. Divide into two columns and draw lots in front of two examiners.
The lottery numbers drawn are the order of appearance. People with the same lottery number are opponents in the competition.
Xu Ke was lucky enough to draw the number "1" on the spot and was the first to appear.
"Are you number one?"
A strong man with dark skin shook the number plate in his hand and smiled honestly, "I am also number one. We will be opponents later. I am from the Weapon Refining Palace. I wonder which palace my junior brother comes from?"
"It turns out that I am a senior fellow from the Weapon Refining Hall, and I am from the Sinong Hall."
Xu Ke replied with a smile.
"From Sinong Hall? Haha, hello, junior brother."
Hearing Xu Ke's answer, the dark-skinned strong man couldn't help but feel a touch of surprise on his face, feeling like "this is a sure thing."
As we all know, the Sinong Palace is at the bottom among all the palaces in the sect.
The newly promoted serving disciple of the Si Nong Hall has the best spell to master, which is the farming spell.
Haha, can the farming spell also hit people?
Xu Ke saw the joy in the dark-faced man and could guess his mental activities, but he didn't say much.
Whether the farming spell can hit people, you will know after you try it.
"The first competition begins, No. 1 takes the stage!"
After everyone has drawn lots, the examiner announces the start of the competition.
Xu Ke put down the Purple Skylark, asked Li He from Xishanfang to take care of it, and then jumped onto the ring.
On the other side, the dark-faced strong man from the Refining Hall stepped on his feet, and a ball of fire shot up, like a rocket, and rushed onto the ring.
A rocket stuck in the back of your butt? This way of appearing... is a bit trendy!
Xu Ke managed to hold back his laughter.
"Meng Gang from the Weapon Refining Hall, I met my junior brother."
After the black-faced strong man came on stage, he bowed his hands to Xu Ke and said with a smile: "I am a blacksmith. I am not good at fire spells, but I have some strength. Junior brother, please be careful later."
"Sinong Hall Xu Ke, I have met my senior brother."
Xu Ke also imitated the other person's tone and replied: "I am a farmer. I am not good at magic, but I have some strength. Senior brother, please be careful."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other with contempt on their faces. I believe you are a ghost!
"Prepare……"
At this time, the examiner raised his arm and waved fiercely, "Start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "boom".
I saw the black-faced strong man in the Refining Hall, kicking his feet fiercely, and a ball of fire burst out, like a rocket booster, and the whole person rushed up quickly, rushing towards Xu Ke.
The rushing figure dragged a long tail flame, like a fire dragon.
Xu Ke seemed to be stunned. Before he could react, the black-faced strong man rushed in front of him.
In the churning firelight, the black-faced strong man raised his thick arm and clenched his fist as big as Shabo.
"Junior brother, I'm not lying to you. I'm really not good at magic, I just have some strength!"
Amidst the roar, the black-faced strong man punched Xu Ke hard!
Then……
Xu Ke also raised his arm, clenched his fist, and hit the strong man with a black face.
"Mountain-Shaking Fist" is powerful and heavy, and the punch is like shaking the mountain!
Oh, it's just ordinary martial arts, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning.
This punch comes later but comes first.
When the black-faced brawny man was about to hit Xu Ke's head with a punch, Xu Ke's "mountain-shaking punch" hit the black-faced brawny man's head first.
There was a "bang", and the black-faced strong man felt as if he had been hit hard by a hammer. Suddenly, his vision went black, stars were flying around, and his head became dizzy.
"you……"
The dark-faced strong man pointed unsteadily at Xu Ke.
"Senior brother, I didn't lie to you either."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "I am really a farmer, I really have the strength."
Are those who farm so energetic?
The black-faced strong man rolled his eyes and fell down with a "pop".
I don’t know if other farmers have such great efforts. But, I definitely have.
This is not serious yet!
Otherwise, your head will explode...oh, it won't explode, the amulet will activate.
The Yellow Turban Hercules has perfected the first level of physical training, and is ready to carry the Hercules. His body is made of copper skin and iron bones, and his strength can drag nine oxen backwards. Do you think this is a joke?
You are a blacksmith in the Weapon Refining Hall, and you are not a physical practitioner. How can you compare your fists and feet with me?
How can you be confident? Do you really think that those who farm are not beaten?
With twenty years of skill, can you block this punch? !
"In the first game, Sinong Palace Xu Ke wins!"
The examiner announced the results of the competition, Xu Ke saluted and jumped off the stage.
On the other side, the guardian deacon casually threw a Ganlin spell to heal the black-faced man's swollen head, and slapped him awake, "It's okay, get down quickly!"
The strong man with a black face cupped his hands and walked off the stage angrily.
the other side.
After Xu Ke stepped down, he walked to Xishanfang Li... Oh, Li Heng, Xu Ke finally remembered.
After picking up the Purple Skylark from Li Heng of Xishanfang, Xu Ke teased the Purple Skylark and thanked Li Heng: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for taking care of it."
"it's okay no problem!"
Xishanfang Li Heng shook his head with a smile, and congratulated Xu Ke, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Xu for opening the door."
Next to him was another newly promoted disciple of the Sinong Palace... Xu Ke really didn't remember his name. This person also congratulated Xu Ke: "Junior Brother Xu, congratulations."
"By the way, Junior Brother Xu, what technique did you use to defeat the disciple of the Weapon Refining Hall just now?"
The man asked Xu Ke again.
"Ordinary martial arts, Shanshanquan, Hedongfang Baibaozhai, I gave it to you when I bought something."
Xu Ke replied with a smile.
"No way?"
Li Heng and Li Heng's eyes widened. This move just now was actually from ordinary martial arts?
