Dream Journey from Shaolin

Chapter 144 The Competition Begins

In the eyes of Yuanmei, a Taoist nun who has practiced Taoism for more than 50 years, Jiang Ming, who is [-] or [-] years old, is still a child, just like her disciples and grandchildren.

It's just that she doesn't know that although Jiang Ming's real age is not as old as hers, he is still a middle-aged man who is close to 40 years old. is too rich,

"Junior brother didn't sign up for this competition this time!"

Chen Jinyun on the side interrupted and explained,

Hearing Chen Jinyun's answer, Yuan Mei couldn't help looking at Jiang Ming in surprise,
"This disciple has only been a teacher for a year, and he hasn't laid a solid foundation yet. How can he have such high strength, so this time I won't make a fool of myself!"

Jiang Ming explained with a smile,
Looking at Jiang Ming's calm demeanor and modest and polite speech, Yuan Mei couldn't help sighing,
"At this age, it's really rare to be so humble. My disciples and grandchildren would be half as humble as you are. Some of them have just learned to release Taoism, and they even signed up!"

At this moment, a bell rang suddenly on the main peak,
Immediately afterwards, an old Taoist priest with a long beard, accompanied by two middle-aged male Taoist priests and two middle-aged female Taoist nuns, flew towards Yufeng from the direction of the main hall.

It was Mu Shoucheng, the head of Xuanmu Sect, Mu Xuanyue, the second elder, Mu Xuanyang, the third elder, Mu Xuanming, the fourth elder, and Mu Xuanyun, the fifth elder.
Opening,
After the headmaster Mu Shoucheng delivered a speech, he and the other four elders sat on the high platform to watch the battle.
Next, a seventh-rank disciple of Tianzhu Peak came to the stage to explain the rules of this sect competition.
This Zongmen Grand Competition is divided into three parts.

The first part is the Ninth Grade Competition,

The participating disciples are all ninth-rank disciples from all peaks of Xuanmu Peak, ranging from elementary to advanced, and the age must not exceed [-]. There are seven arenas in total, and each arena has a junior disciple of seventh rank as the referee ,

The head and the four elders sat on the high platform, watching all the disciples compete, and at the same time supervised the fairness of each arena,
After the first part of the Ninth Grade Competition is over and the top three Ninth Grade disciples are selected,
Then the second part of the eighth-rank competition will start.

The eighth-rank competition requires that the participating disciples must be eighth-rank, from elementary to advanced, but the age must not exceed fifty, and there are also seven arenas, and the referees on each arena are replaced by senior sisters and senior brothers from each peak , elders and head overseers,

After the eighth-rank competition is over, after the top three are selected, it will be the most important seventh-rank competition.
Also the third part,

There are a total of four arenas in the seventh-rank competition, and the participating disciples are required to be seventh-rank, from low-level to high-level, there is no age requirement, it only depends on strength, and the referees are personally served by the second elder, third elder, fourth elder, and fifth elder. head supervisor,

When the top three are selected in the seventh-rank competition, the ten-year sect grand competition will officially end.

The seventh-rank disciple of Tianzhu Peak clacked and explained the rules of the Dabi, then he pinched the spell and pressed it on the stone pillar next to him.
Immediately, right in front of where the Qifeng disciples were standing in the big square, the seven square arenas, glowing with colorful light, slowly rose from the ground.

Afterwards, the seven disciples of the seventh grade of Tianzhu Peak flew towards the arena with their respective magical weapons.
They are the seven referees of the Ninth Grade Competition,
"All peak ninth-rank disciples, please line up in order to draw their own long lottery, and then use the long lottery to confirm the next competition opponent!"

The first Tianzhu Peak disciple took out a round bamboo tube full of bamboo sticks and shouted to all the disciples in the square,
Hearing the sound, other peak disciples stepped forward to line up to draw lots, while Jiang Ming took the little white snake and stayed behind the big sister Chen Jinyun without moving a muscle. He didn't sign up for the competition.
Nearly a thousand high-ranking disciples, it took about an hour to draw lots before the lottery session ended, and I also knew which opponent I was matched with,
Then another half an hour later, that day the seventh-rank disciple of Zhufeng started to shout again:
"Now, please Qingji from East Bamboo Peak, Qingyu from West Bamboo Peak to the A-shaped arena, Qingmin from the South Bamboo Peak, and Qingyue from the North Bamboo Peak to the B-shaped arena."

Jiang Ming watched the seven arenas gradually filled with people. Most of them were young, mostly around fourteen or fifteen years old, and of course there were some in their twenties, but relatively few.

Taoists in this age group have just mastered the complicated basic knowledge of Taoism, and started to get in touch with the first spell in life, just like Yan Wushuang he met at that time,
At that time, I felt that the Taoism of the ninth rank was quite good, but now, well, it should not be able to break his defense by standing still.
This is also the reason why he did not participate in the competition. Fighting with a Taoist of the ninth rank is of no help to him at all, and it is a waste of time. If it is a rank of seven, he is still somewhat interested.

But he has only been in Xuanmuzong for more than seven months. Ninth-rank peak can be said to be a genius, eighth-rank can be said to be a super genius, and seventh-rank is a ghost. planed,

At the end of the day, due to too many disciples participating in the ninth rank, the first round of screening has not yet been completed, and it needs to continue tomorrow.
Jiang Ming reckoned that just the battle between the nine ranks would take up a large part of the entire sect's martial arts competition.
On the contrary, the competition between the eighth rank and the seventh rank may not take too long. After all, there are not as many disciples as the ninth rank, and the further you go, the greater the gap in strength between the ranks.

For example, at the ninth-rank stage, it is normal for the ninth-rank junior contestants to defeat the ninth-rank high-level contestants if they are more proficient in spell cultivation.

But when it comes to the seventh rank, it is really quite difficult for the beginners of the seventh rank to defeat the advanced ones of the seventh rank, unless it is a genius of the heavens, or a krypton gold master, who uses various high-rank magic weapons and more To draw distance for subtle spells,
Therefore, after the Ninth-Rank Elementary and Ninth-Rank Advanced players come to the stage, it may take a while to decide the winner, but after the Seventh-Rank Elementary and Seventh-Rank Advanced players are promoted, the victory may be in an instant.

After the opening ceremony on the first day, Jiang Ming and his elder sister Chen Jinyun returned to Xiaozhufeng,
The next day, when the senior sister proposed to go to Tianzhu Peak to watch the game again, Jiang Ming refused on the spot. He said that he would stay in Xiaozhu Peak to practice.
After the elder sister heard the answer that did not surprise her, she did not insist, but continued to Tianzhu Peak with the little white snake who liked to watch the fun, to watch the game,

Before the start of the seventh-rank competition, Jiang Ming didn't plan to go to Tianzhu Peak to waste time anymore. He felt that if he worked hard these few days, his martial artist level could break through to the eighth-rank high-level.

Ten days later, Xiaozhu Peak,
Jiang Ming exhaled, slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his face,
"Finally broke through the eighth-rank high-level!"

He shook hands hard and felt the strength in his body. He estimated that his current basic strength, with the support of the eighth-rank high-level and the indestructible body of King Kong, has already broken through [-] catties.
