After we got married, I relied on my cheap husband to get promoted.

Chapter 26 Zongmen Grand Competition
  Until this day, Cheng Jiuge went to the teaching hall again. Senior Brother Qinghe announced: "The bimonthly sect competition will be held the day after tomorrow. Everyone, be prepared."

"Yes!"

This was the first time Cheng Jiuge knew about this sect competition. After class, he asked his friends on the side, "What sect competition? Will it be held every two months in the future?"

Xing Yue: "Yes, unless there are special circumstances, it will be held once every two months. The purpose is to assess everyone's recent learning results. Some outer disciples can also enter the inner sect if they perform well."

"Every sect competition will have a ranking, the comparison between the golden elixir stage and the golden elixir stage, the comparison between foundation building and foundation building, the comparison between Qi training and Qi training. There is a ranking list for each category. Every time The list is constantly changing."

"By the way, if the ranking improves a lot compared to the last ranking, there will be an improvement award. If you are in the top three, there will also be rewards."

Cheng Jiuge: "What reward?"

Xing Yue: "Sometimes it's secret books, sometimes it's spiritual stones, sometimes it's elixirs, talismans, etc."

Cheng Jiuge touched his chin, "Can I participate?"

Xing Yue: "Of course. Young Master Madam, you are now a member of our Wuji Sword Sect, so of course you can participate."

Cheng Jiuge: "I understand. I will go when the time comes. Please tell me what the specific process is."

"It's very simple. Based on the last ranking, you can only choose someone higher than yourself to challenge. If the challenge is successful, you will take his place. If the challenge is unsuccessful, you will remain in the original position, and the person you challenged will be It’s a successful defense.”

Cheng Jiuge: "What if someone wants to challenge me and I want to challenge someone else? Or what if I was first last time?"

"No conflict, just compete in the morning and compete in the afternoon. As long as what you want to challenge doesn't fall from the top, it's fine."

"If you are number one, you can also challenge upwards. For example, those in the Qi Refining Stage can challenge those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can challenge those in the Golden Core Stage. We sword cultivators prefer to challenge beyond the next level. The elders have said that swords can break In all things, cultivation is important, but it is not that important.”

Cheng Jiuge: "Okay, I understand. The first time I participate, I should be the last one in the foundation building period, right? I'll see who I challenge tomorrow."

Xing Yue: "Young master, you can go back and discuss this with your junior uncle. Your junior uncle will come over to see you."

Cheng Jiuge: "Okay."

Back at Seven Swords Peak, Cheng Jiuge didn't see Zhong Lixiu. Could it be that he was practicing swordplay in the back mountain? Cheng Jiuge thought for a while and ran to the back mountain.

As soon as she ran to the back mountain, she saw Zhong Lixiu practicing his sword over there. He didn't use a real sword, but a wooden sword. He could even use the wooden sword to use the sword's intention. When he went out with the sword, the sword was all gone. Without touching the tree, all the leaves on it were cut in half, and each leaf was cut in half. You can see how accurately Zhong Lixiu grasps the sword energy.

Zhong Lixiu knew it when Cheng Jiuge came over. He stopped and put his sword behind him, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Jiuge couldn't get enough of it. She looked at the trees and searched for a while, but she didn't find that not a single leaf was intact.

"How did you use that move just now?"

Zhong Lixiu: "What?"

Cheng Jiuge: "Just now, with a wave of the sword, the leaves over there fell like fairy flowers."

Zhong Lixiu thought about what to say, and finally could only say: "... I should just wave."

Cheng Jiuge: "..."

Cheng Jiuge blinked, held his forehead and sighed, "How can someone like you have an apprentice?"

Zhong Lixiu looked at her, Cheng Jiuge: "...Oh, I am the one who is the culprit, I chose it for you..."

"Forget it, forget it, I'm asking you about the sect competition." Cheng Jiuge found a stone and sat down, "I heard that you go to every sect competition. The sect competition is about to start the day after tomorrow. , which ranking do you think is better for me to challenge based on my strength?"

Zhong Lixiu: "If you ask me, then I will directly suggest you challenge the first place."

Cheng Jiuge sounded a little happy, but he still waved his hand, "You may think too highly of me." Zhong Lixiu: "The strengths of other rankings are the same... mediocre, and only the first one may have some strength." In fact, he thought more. He said that if the first place failed to challenge, then there would be no difference between the last place and the second place. This was too straightforward, and he was afraid of hurting her.

However, in Cheng Jiuge's ears, what he said was actually no different from what he thought.

Cheng Jiuge: She felt that he originally wanted to say Taicai. Since she is currently considered one of the "cai", this person changed the word "mediocre".

Zhong Lixiu suddenly said: "If you want to learn the trick just now, I can teach you."

If a swordsman genius wants to teach you, of course he should agree immediately!
  Cheng Jiuge immediately drew his sword and said, "Okay, come on, I'm ready."

Zhong Lixiu came over and pointed to a leaf on another tree, "Swing the sword over and cut it off."

Cheng Jiuge swung it according to her own idea, and the leaf broke instantly. This was relatively simple. She practiced against stones every day.

Zhong Lixiu: "Add another piece."

Cheng Jiuge continued.

Zhong Lixiu: "Add another piece."

"One more piece..."

"Plus."

"continue……"

As the branches went up, Cheng Jiuge found it more and more difficult. She would even cut off an entire branch midway, but this was unqualified.

Cheng Jiuge continued. She didn't know how long she had been practicing, and the number of leaves she cut off at once gradually increased.

Unknowingly, it was evening, and Cheng Jiuge didn't stop. The kid who came back from the canteen with food didn't see anyone. He searched for it but couldn't find it. In the end, he could only find the last place, which was the back mountain. .

When I arrived at the back mountain, I saw that my wife had been practicing swordplay on one side, while Zhongli Xiu stood on the other side, occasionally giving instructions.

Hearing the voice, Zhong Lixiu immediately looked over and said, "Zhenjun, Madam's food has been brought back."

Zhong Lixiu: "Bring it over."

"Yes." The little boy went back to get the food and said to Cheng Jiuge, "Madam, it's time to eat."

Cheng Jiuge responded, "Yes, I understand." But her movements did not stop. She could now cut off one hundred and eight leaves at the same time without damaging other branches.

Zhong Lixiu didn't say anything. He continued to watch. He asked the child to leave, "You go back first."

The kid hesitated and left.

Zhong Lixiu looked at the still steaming food. He was afraid of the cold. He waved his hand and covered it with spiritual energy to keep the food in the best condition.

In the moonlight above the willow branches, you can still hear the sound of waving swords in the back mountain.

Zhong Lixiu saw that Cheng Jiuge couldn't lift his arm, and then he said, "Do you want to take a rest first?"

Cheng Jiuge: "Wait a moment."

After another hour passed, Cheng Jiuge finally stopped, and her hands began to tremble.
