Immortal Martial Lord

Chapter 35 Drawing Lots
  The rising sun was rising in the east. At the top of the steps in front of Taixuan Hall, eight seats were arranged in a row. Taoist Xuantian, the head of Taixuan Sect, sat in the middle. On both sides of Taoist Xuantian sat the heads of the Seven Meridians.

At this time, under the Taixuan Sect, all the Nine Meridians disciples had gathered on both sides of the square below the steps.

Nine circular arenas have been erected in the square, each of which is one foot high and five feet wide. At this time, all the disciples were whispering about who would win the final victory of today's competition and who would enter the top ten.

The topics among the disciples all revolved around Li Lingfeng, Dongfang Chen and a person named Ziyu. No one would talk about Gu Fei from Cuiling Peak, because, in the eyes of the young disciples, Gu Fei was more important than the younger generation of disciples. Among them, his cultivation level is absolutely at the bottom. He came to participate in the Nine Meridians Examination, which is simply a waste of a place.

"Li Lingfeng, Dongfang Chen, Ziyu?" Gu Fei sneered. His eyes scanned among the many disciples, paying attention to the young disciples who might become his opponents today. He met Dongfang Chen and also met Wang Yuanzhi, who was disgusting to him. , and among the outstanding disciples of the leader's branch, the one standing at the front of the group of young disciples is a young man of about twenty years old.

That person, Gu Fei knew, was the senior brother of the family leader, Li Lingfeng. Since he started, Gu Fei has not seen Li Lingfeng many times. This is because both of them are crazy cultivators. They spend all their time on cultivation and rarely leave the place of cultivation.

Li Lingfeng can be called a genius in cultivation. He joined the sect leader's lineage. He stood out from a group of young disciples before he was twenty years old. His cultivation at the peak of the eighth level made him the number one among the young disciples. The master's throne.

He does not have outstanding appearance, nor does he have a slender figure. Li Lingfeng's appearance is very ordinary, but such an inconspicuous person shows extraordinary talent for cultivation.

It has to be said that in the world of cultivation, there are still some people with amazing talents. In every era, there is no shortage of geniuses.

"Li Lingfeng is definitely a good opponent!" Gu Fei thought to himself. As for Dongfang Chen, although he is also a strong opponent, since he practiced the art of transforming weapons and refining the body last night, Dongfang Chen no longer poses a threat to him.

This was not because Gu Fei was arrogant, but because of the warrior's intuition. Although Dongfang Chen was strong, Gu Fei didn't think Dongfang Chen could stop him.

Warriors of the same realm are stronger than cultivators in close combat. Once a cultivator is approached by a warrior of the same level, it means that the cultivator has been defeated.

In close combat, the warrior has an absolute advantage. Martial skills are also killing skills. Once you get close, you will either die or be injured. Even if you are not close, martial arts and supernatural powers can counter the ascetic's spells.

Therefore, when a warrior who wakes up from the seventh heaven confronts a cultivator who is also from the seventh heaven, the outcome is self-evident. Even those cultivators who have reached the eighth heaven can still compete.

Standing behind Li Lingfeng was a handsome but frail young man.

"That person must be Ziyu! He is indeed handsome, but it seems that he is too handsome, and he looks a bit like a boy and a girl." Gu Fei found that the young man's fair skin and radiant look made people even doubt this person. The person is a girl disguised as a man.

At this time, Taoist Xuanfa, the first Taoist of Biyun Peak who was sitting next to Taoist Xuantian, stood up and walked to the front. He glanced at the disciples on both sides of the square, and then said loudly: "I announce that the Nine Meridians Examination has officially begun. Participants The disciples who are competing come forward."

The nine Taixuan meridians and the other eight meridians all sent out ten disciples. Only the Cuiling Peak lineage participated in the competition by one person, and this person was Gu Fei.

As soon as Taoist Xuanfa finished speaking, ten young disciples from each lineage immediately walked out. Gu Fei also walked up. He was the only disciple in Cuiling Peak. He was directly qualified to compete. He didn't want other branches to have a large number of people. He had to compete internally before deciding who would appear.

As a result, eighty-one disciples in white gathered in front of the square and at the foot of the steps. The competition for the top ten among the younger generation of disciples begins among these eighty-one disciples.

When a group of disciples came out, a middle-aged Taoist and two Taoist boys also walked down the steps. The middle-aged Taoist walking in front held a writing brush in his right hand and a booklet in his left hand, while the two Taoist boys behind the middle-aged Taoist were holding a wooden box together.

The middle-aged Taoist walked down the steps and stood aside. The two Taoist boys walked to the front of the disciples holding the wooden box. "Start drawing lots!" Taoist Xuanfa's voice spread throughout the audience. It was the fairest way to decide who each disciple's opponent would be by drawing lots.

Whether you get a good draw or a bad draw depends entirely on your luck.

Li Lingfeng, the senior brother in charge of the sect, was the first to step forward, reached into the round hole on the wooden box, took out a jade tablet, and handed it to the middle-aged Taoist standing next to him.

The middle-aged Taoist looked at the jade plaque and wrote down a person's name on the book in his hand.

Around the square, the onlookers were whispering. They were all curious about who the opponent of this number one among the younger generation of Taixuan Sect was, and who would be so unlucky to meet a master like Li Lingfeng right away.

In the wooden box, there are no more than no less than eighty-one jade tablets with the names of eighty-one disciples written on them. Whoever is drawn will be his opponent.

If you are so lucky that you lose the scum and draw your own name, then the disciple who drew your own name will have to draw again until someone else's name is drawn.

After Li Lingfeng drew lots, he stepped aside. Then, other disciples stepped forward one after another and drew their opponents in the wooden box.

Gu Fei was not in a hurry and stepped forward to draw lots. He spotted Zhao Zirou among the disciples of the Eight Meridians. He was a little surprised that Zhao Zirou could be ranked among the top ten in the Zizhu Peak clan.

At this time, Zhao Zirou also saw Gu Fei, and she walked over to Gu Fei.

"Senior Brother Gu." Zhao Zirou greeted Gu Fei. She was not surprised to see Gu Fei here, because there was only one Gu Fei left in the Cuiling Peak lineage, and it was already a certainty that he would participate in the Nine Meridians Examination. .

"Junior sister Zhao, I didn't expect that you also participated in the Nine Meridians Examination." Gu Fei looked Zhao Zirou up and down and was a little surprised. Half a year ago, Zhao Zirou's cultivation seemed to still awaken me to the fifth level, but today, this Zizhu Peak Disciple, he has actually broken into the sixth level of awakening me.

Under Gu Fei's scorching gaze, Zhao Zirou couldn't help but blush, and whispered: "Senior Brother Gu, please be merciful in the later competition."

"Show no mercy, show no mercy, but if the opponent is Junior Sister Zhao, I will make an exception." Gu Fei said with a serious face.

"Be merciless when you strike, don't be merciful!" Suddenly a disdainful word came from beside Gu Fei, and then a handsome young man in white walked past Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou with a proud look on his face.

"Dongfang Chen?" Gu Fei stared at the young man who walked forward, with a flash of light in his eyes, "I want you to look good today," Gu Fei couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

At this time, while Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou were talking, less than half of the people had already stepped forward and picked out their opponents from the wooden box held by the two Taoist boys with red lips and white teeth.

"Brother, let's go draw lots too!" Zhao Zirou said to Gu Fei when he saw that most people had already drawn lots.

"Yes!" Gu Fei responded and walked forward with Zhao Zirou.
