Chapter 25 Competition Ceremony
A horseman was far away and rushed into Qingyun City.
The martial arts competition ceremony in the Wu Palace will be held in one month. According to the rules, students participating in the martial arts ceremony must start registration one month in advance.
A month ago, a conversation with Elder Zhuang Nantian made Luo Xiu understand that if you want to make a name for yourself and gain the attention of the Martial Palace, you must show your strength and talent.
The annual martial arts competition is undoubtedly the moment when the students of the Martial Palace show their strength and talent.
Not long after, Luo Xiu came to the Martial Palace and went to the registration location.
When he arrived, many students from the Martial Arts Hall had gathered here, but most of them were watching. Most of them signed up for the martial arts competition were students from intermediate and advanced classes.
"There are rankings in the martial arts competition every year. I heard that as long as you can get the top three, the rewards are extremely generous." said a young man in martial arts uniform.
"Brother Zhao is now at the seventh level of body refining. I wonder if he plans to participate in the martial arts competition?" someone asked with a smile.
"Of course you have to participate. Although there is little hope to get the top three, the most important thing is to show your talent and strength on the martial arts competition stage, and you can still get the attention of the senior management of the martial arts palace!" The young man said proudly.
Luo Xiuxun looked in the voice and saw the young man in martial arts uniform. It was Zhao Liang, an intermediate student who bet against him in the black stone tablet area.
When we were betting, Zhao Liang had the sixth level of body refining, but now he has reached the seventh level of body refining.
"There are many masters in the intermediate and advanced classes. I heard that as long as you can enter the top ten, you can get rewards for the energy stones and pills!"
"If you enter the top five, you can even be accepted as a disciple by the elders of the Martial Palace!"
"Hehe, if you get the top three, I heard that you can still get the personal guidance of the Lord of the Martial Palace and have the qualifications to choose a fourth-grade martial art!"
Many people were talking about each other, and all kinds of generous rewards made many students in the martial arts palace excited.
Each elder of the Martial Palace is a congenital martial artist and has a high position in Qingyun City. If he can become an elder disciple, it is a symbol of status.
The Lord of the Martial Palace is a legendary existence for many Martial Palace students. He is the number one master in Qingyun City and is said to have surpassed the innate world!
Especially the rewards for the fourth-grade martial arts are even more shocking and exciting.
However, everyone also knows that it is very difficult to enter the top three at the martial arts ceremony, because the martial arts ceremony is held once a year. Those who have won good rankings in previous years will use the rewards they receive to improve their cultivation strength by leaps and bounds, and far widen the gap with others.
However, if your cultivation level breaks through to the Qihai Realm, or you are over 18 years old, you will not be able to participate in the martial arts competition, otherwise there will be no comparison at all.
The population in Qingyun City is hundreds of thousands, and there are countless students in the martial arts palace. There are hundreds of whom only have their cultivation level above the seventh level of body refining.
Next to the registration point, a stone tablet was erected, with names of students from the martial arts hall from low to high.
This stone tablet is the ranking of the martial arts palace in Qingyun City.
There are only fifty places on the ranking list, and the minimum requirement is the eighth level of body refining. Many people gather next to the ranking list stone tablet.
Luo Xiu also looked at him and saw the person ranked first on the ranking list, named Xu Qiusheng!
Listening to the people around him, Xu Qiusheng is eighteen years old this year. He is the disciple of the elder guarding the Sutra Pavilion. His cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of body refining. His internal strength, martial arts, and body skills are all third-grade martial arts practiced.
Immediately afterwards, from second place to tenth place, they were all eighteen years old, and their cultivation level was the ninth level of body refining.
In the Martial Palace, the age of eighteen is a threshold. When you are eighteen, you will no longer be a student of the Martial Palace, and the Martial Palace will not continue to be trained. A very small number of people with good talent and who have broken through the Qihai Realm can become outer disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, and it is also the lowest threshold for outer disciples.
As for Luo Xiu, almost no one knew that his cultivation level had reached the peak of the ninth level of body refining, so there was no name on this ranking.
“A month left.”
Time is like flowing water. In the dense forest, Luo Xiu's figure flashed. He used a set of thunder sword technique. It was perfect, flowing clouds and water, and the sword light broke through the sky. It was almost impossible to catch traces with the naked eye.
"boom!"
With the blessing of internal energy, a big tree was chopped down by him with a sword, causing dust to spread all over the sky.
During this period, he went to 6 Mengyao to absorb the power of flames several times. His inner energy was so pure and thick that he could break through the impact of Qihai Realm at any time.
However, Luo Xiu suppressed his cultivation level and did not make any breakthroughs, because once he made a breakthrough, he could not continue to participate in the martial arts competition.
The first three major competitions can be used to enter the library to choose the fourth-grade martial arts, but Luo Xiu doesn't want to miss it.
Luo Xiu has also been very different from before in the past few months of experience, especially his temperament is unique, his eyebrows are full of sharpness, and his whole body is like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.
"Clang!"
When Guijian was put into the sheath, Luo Xiu wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, spit out a breath of turbid air, and said intimately: "Except for the last time Chen Hu and others, I have never encountered any attacks during this period."
He was practicing in Mount Yaqi, and usually deliberately avoided those warriors who were hunting in the mountains. He had the special ability of life perception, so it was naturally not difficult to do this.
...
Qingyun City, Zhang family mansion.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the closed door of the mansion was split in an instant, and figures entered one after another, with a loud sound endlessly. Everyone drew their swords and rushed into the mansion.
The Zhang family is also a famous family in Qingyun City, so naturally they have trained a group of guards, and at this moment they are all facing great enemies.
There were a total of twenty people who broke into the Zhang family, each of whom was wearing blue armor, and a fierce aura surged from his body, full of oppression.
"Qingjia Guard?" Nearly hundreds of Zhang family guards changed their faces instantly.
The most powerful Zhang family guards is the ninth level of body refining. Although the number of people is five times higher than that of the other party, many of their bodies are starting to tremble.
Because Qingjia Guard is a guard affiliated to the Martial Palace, and each of them is a warrior who has entered the Qihai Realm!
Most of the members of Qingjia Guard are also students who graduated from the Martial Palace. These people failed to become outer disciples of Xiaoyao Sect and joined Qingjia Guard.
"Zhang Shaoxiong, the Zhang family, is suspected of murdering a student in the martial arts palace. We are ordered by Qingjia Guards. Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"
A strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was the captain of the group of green guards. He shouted coldly, and his voice rolled like thunder. Before he could do anything, the guards of the Zhang family opposite were frightened and retreated repeatedly.
After parting the group, Zhang Shaoxiong walked out with a gloomy expression, "Captain Han, what does it mean to bring people into my Zhang family's mansion?"
The captain of Qingjia Guard, surnamed Han, was expressionless and shouted coldly: "I came here on the order of Elder Zhuang. You are suspected of murdering the students of the Wu Palace. Let's explain to the elders."
While speaking, the captain Han waved his hand and said, "Take Zhang Shaoxiong down, the elder has an order. If there is any resistance, he will kill him without any worries!"
Zhang Shaoxiong's face changed drastically. He knew very well that once the crime of murdering a student in the Martial Palace was established, he would inevitably be sentenced to death. The entire Zhang family would be implicated, and he might even be removed from Qingyun City!
However, he quickly calmed down. It was naturally impossible for the Zhang family to stand firm in Qingyun City without any background. He believed that as long as the ancestor came out of the mountain, the Zhang family would be safe.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shaoxiong did not resist and allowed the Qingjia Guard to take him away. Otherwise, these Qingjia Guards who obeyed the orders of the high-level officials of the Martial Palace would really kill him.
After the head of the family was taken away by Qingjia Guard, the Zhang family was in chaos. Zhang Shaoxiong's younger brother Zhang Shaohai stood up to the public and took the position of head of the family.
"The Zhang family must not be without a master for a day. Before my elder brother comes back, I will take the post of the master!" Sitting on the throne of the master, Zhang Shaohai's mouth sneered. He has been waiting for this day for too long!
"If the ancestor comes out to protect his elder brother, the position of the head of the family will not belong to me after all. Only when he dies will the position of the head of the family become mine!"
He attracted his confidant and ordered: "Take a few people to Panshi Town and capture Naluo Xiu's family."
...
Finally, the most highly anticipated martial arts competition in Qingyun City’s Martial Palace is about to begin.
On the martial arts performance field, almost all the students from the entire martial arts hall gathered near the martial arts hall. A loft was built not far from the martial arts hall with seats placed on it, which was the seat for the high-level martial arts hall to watch the martial arts ceremony.
As time went by, more and more people came. In the viewing table above the attic, in addition to the elder on aBc Novel Network, four elders, including Elder Zhuang, also arrived.
"The Lord of the Palace is here!"
As the crowd heard the exclamation, everyone looked up and saw a figure in purple clothes stomped in the air and flew directly into the attic and sat down in the middle of the main seat.
"Flying in the air and flying in the air is a legendary method!"
"I heard that the cultivation of the Lord of the Martial Palace has long gone far away from the innate world. He is the veritable number one master of Qingyun City!"
Luo Xiu was also among the crowd below, and the methods displayed by the Lord of the Martial Palace also shocked him very much.
When can I have such strength when flying in the air and flying in the air?
"quiet!"
Suddenly, Elder Zhuang Nantian in the attic stood up and whispered: "The auspicious time has come!"
"According to the rules of the competition, the knockout rounds are carried out one-on-one by drawing lots. Those who draw the same number will go on stage to compete. There is no restriction during the competition until one of them admits defeat or falls from the competition platform."
"The martial arts competition is in conflict, and the swords are eyeless, but you cannot kill people. Otherwise, you will be directly disqualified from the martial arts palace, expelled from the martial arts palace, and imprisoned for ten years!"
As Elder Zhuang announced the rules of the competition, he immediately carried a wooden box to the competition platform, and all the students who participated in the competition went forward to draw lots.
Luo Xiu reached into the wooden box, took out a paper ball, and after it was unfolded, it said ninety-eight.
There are ten martial arts competition platforms. If you draw one to ten people, you will first compete on stage.
The winner advances and enters the second round.
There are more than 300 people who signed up for the martial arts competition, which means that more than 100 people will be eliminated in the first round!
And no one knows who their opponent is.
"Now, the competition begins!"
Chapter completed!
