Eight Desolate Valkyries

Chapter 83
In the arena, the competition was in full swing, with disciples from the inner court coming and going.

The winning disciple has a new round of defending, and then is replaced by the latecomer, and so on.It is worth mentioning that some disciples lost to their opponents due to lack of true energy due to the consumption of winning the ring and defending the ring.

A disciple not only needs to defeat the previous defender, but also has to survive the challenge of three people before he can get a quota of core disciples, which shows how difficult it is.

It is precisely because of this rule that once a defender defeats two opponents, it will immediately cause other people to worry.

Because there is no limit to the challengers, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be someone who does not have a long-sighted person who will go up to help others.Therefore, the competition is very fierce, and the defenders on the ring are also changed wave after wave, and there are very few defenders who last to the last opponent.

In a corner under the arena, there were several disciples watching quietly. They were all characters whose strength had reached mid-term consummation or even peak, and they were the seed players that Yunyang talked about.

Among them is Su Siyuan's older brother, Su Rong. Not only are he surrounded by three fellow apprentices, but also a girl exuding a domineering temperament. She is petite and dainty, with exquisite features. People can't help but feel that there is a kind of sharp-tongued meanness.

"Ye Xuan, why aren't you up yet?" Su Rong asked her mockingly.

"Then why don't you go up?" The girl named Ye Xuan sneered, not to be outdone, and choked back.

Once these elite disciples go up, the competition will enter a feverish level, and the first elite disciple to go up will inevitably suffer from three defenses, so they all think about how long they can delay.

Such a mind cannot be called open and aboveboard, but there is no way, the number of core disciples is too precious, these outstanding people in the inner court don't care about their demeanor, they plan and plan carefully, just for victory!
Once you become a core disciple, you will be cultivated immediately, pointing to the way of cultivating Yuanjing.

On the corner of the edge of the arena, there are three elders sitting from left to right, the one sitting in the middle is the most imposing, with a calm but majestic face that makes people not dare to breathe, those eyes seem to have magical power, they can scream People get lost in it and their minds are in turmoil.

This person is the punishment elder who is second only to the head of the Star Sect, and is in charge of all people and things in the inner court.

Like what happened in Fengjue Palace earlier, he should take the initiative to decide, but in his eyes, it is just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, and it is likely that he will not take action himself.

He will only show his strength unless the inner court disciple is dead.

"These juniors can hold their breath." The one who spoke was a white-faced, beardless old man with white hair and childlike face sitting on the left side of the elder who punished him. It was Elder Yunhe who was in charge of the exchange of contribution points in the inner courtyard. He looked towards the one in the direction of Su Rong. The group of elites said with great interest.

"They have lost to those older disciples eight times in a row, so they are naturally very cautious now." Elder Xing Xing nodded lightly, his voice was vicissitudes and calm, with a convincing charm.

"Hmph, if I say that the number of core disciples should be allocated by the elders like before, what kind of competition is held, the rumors and rumors before must be fueled by those disciples who are in the top list but have no qualifications, and now they are benefiting one by one, really angry People." The elder on the right was Yuan Ying, and he expressed his dissatisfaction in a muffled voice.

"Yuan Ying, you have to know the meaning of the core disciples. It is to cultivate masters of the cultivation realm for the sect. Now that the Kamikaze trial is coming, it will be of great help to those who are old but strong. We don't care about it at all. It takes too much resources to cultivate Yuanyuanjing." Elder Yunhe said with a smile, his eyes full of shrewdness.

"Hmph." Yuan Ying said dissatisfied.

"Why are you dissatisfied? Didn't you get a quota for your newly recruited apprentice? A guy who just entered the Qi Refining Realm at the age of 16." Elder Xing Xing said with a little displeasure.

It was Yuan Ying who gave the spot to Tang Lei that made the rumors even more violent.

"I originally had two quotas. Where is my eldest apprentice Su Rong standing? And my new apprentice is really worthy of training and has qualifications!" Yuan Ying said.

"Every elder says that about his apprentices. Do you still remember Jian Chen? What did he say before? It seems that the apprentices he accepts will be one-in-a-kind. In the end, even the four apprentices he recruited betrayed the master. , and now I have accepted another one, I don’t know if it will play.” Elder Yunhe said teasingly.

Jian Chen was a bit arrogant, he was like a sword, he offended many people unknowingly, and yet his disciple betrayed his teacher, so it was inevitable that he would not be attacked.

Elder Yun He once had a feud with Jian Chen, so he looked at Ye Xuan in the audience, "This Ye Xuan is Jian Chen's last apprentice before, and it was this apprentice who gave him the title of 'Master of Swordsmanship Theory', which made him completely become a joke."

.........

At this time, the arena had a different change.

The defender is a burly guy who looks like a giant bear. Now facing the second challenger, he has the upper hand and is about to win.

Many inner court disciples in the audience began to worry that as long as the ring defender wins this round, and then wins another round, he can get the quota and become a core disciple.

In addition, some inner court disciples like to make troubles, knowing that they are not strong enough, they still want to go up and do good things...

So who is the next challenge is very important.

"This Zhao Xiong is also considered to be the best in the world rankings. He is about to win. That's two consecutive victories. Why don't you make it?" Su Rong looked at Ye Xuan calmly.

"Why didn't you go?" Michelle Ye was still not fooled.

"I don't care. Anyway, there are still seven days of competition, and there are seven places left." Su Rong said lightly, every disciple will have a chance to challenge every day.

"Then I don't care." Michelle Ye shrugged lightly.

The two have their own ghosts, once one of them goes up, the other can wait until the opponent defends the ring twice, and then go up to take advantage of it after the zhenqi weakens

boom!
The ring defender Zhao Xiong threw his opponent off the ring once again, roaring excitedly. Not many people successfully defend the ring twice in a row. As long as he wins once, the core disciple will be his.

"It's better to have a weak one." Zhao Xiong felt the excessive consumption of true energy, and thought of it in his heart.

Su Rong and Ye Xuan became nervous, their eyes wandered to other disciples, once they found out that the disciple who was going up was doing good deeds on purpose or was not strong enough, they would block them.

The two are not as easy as they say, a quota is extremely precious, and the two have been fighting since they had fifteen quotas, but they have not won one. In addition, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the inner courtyard. Hold on tight.

"I come!"

When Su Rong and Ye Xuan were in a stalemate, there was a loud shout from behind the crowd. Before Su Rong and Ye Xuan had time to see the strength of this person, if they wanted to block it, that person had already entered the ring!
The speed is like a wind!

"Damn, who is this guy?"

Su Rong and Ye Xuan felt unfamiliar. This guy had reached mid-stage Qi Refining Realm. He seemed not safe enough to face Zhao Xiong, who also reached mid-stage Qi Refining Realm!

If Zhao Xiong wins, wouldn't the quota be his?

Involuntarily, blame eyes fell on this person.

"Luo Cheng!"

The seven newcomers below the ring, including Liu Ying and Shi Xuan, exclaimed, and then Yunyang and Su Siyuan also shot scary glances, and Su Siyuan ran over there without saying a word and whispered in Su Rong's ear.

The person on the stage was Luo Cheng who had rushed back, with a faint smile on his lips, confident and calm, with a straight back, exuding an aura of being who I could not be.

"Luo Cheng! It's Luo Cheng!"

Because of the matter of Fengjue Palace, many disciples in the inner courtyard recognized him.

"Luo Cheng? Luo Cheng who competed for the first place in the Dragon and Tiger Rankings and defeated Wen Ting, Liu Tao, and Yang Fan, three senior brothers and sisters in the Heaven and Earth Rankings? He really didn't die?!"

"Of course I'm not dead, can I still stand on it if I'm dead?"

"It's a good show to watch now. I'm afraid the endless defending will end, and the elites will play one by one!"

The crowd was in an uproar, talking a lot, their eyes became hot, and they looked forward to the people on the ring.

"This... Brother Luo Cheng has such a great reputation?"

Hearing the discussions in his ear, Shi Xuan was taken aback. Luo Cheng had only joined the inner courtyard for a month, how could it excite so many people?
Li Jin, who had always regarded Luo Cheng as the target of pursuit, couldn't help being moved, only then realized that he was pulled away by Luo Cheng... very far...

Liu Ying suddenly remembered that when she was seven or eight years old, she asked her father why the big brother named Luo Cheng was not much older than her and her sister, but he was already famous in Lizhou?

At that time, Liu Hailong said this: "Some people take the initiative to become the focus of attention."

Now, it is to verify this statement.

"Hmph! Going up is also looking for death!" Yunyang was greedy for the number of core disciples, but he knew how much he weighed, and this competition was at least prepared for the mid-stage of Qi Refining Realm...

"What?! How is that possible! How did his cultivation reach the mid-stage perfection of the Qi Refining Realm?" Yun Yang checked Luo Cheng's cultivation with comparisons in his heart, and was so frightened that he was out of his wits.

A while ago, Luo Cheng's cultivation was only at the initial stage of the Qi Refining Realm, why did he suddenly jump to the middle stage of perfection?

He rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he read correctly, he stayed where he was.

"Fortunately, I caught up, otherwise I would have missed one of the last two spots..."

Luo Cheng on the ring breathed a sigh of relief. He rushed over just now, and then heard that one after another the number of core disciples was taken away, he was very anxious.

Eight places have been taken away, so there are only two left?

Luo Cheng, who was kept out of news, didn't know that the quota had been raised to thirty...

So regardless of others, he rushed to the ring.

"Luo Cheng? Didn't you say he's only reached Consummation in the early stages? This improvement is too great." After listening to his brother's words, Su Rong looked at Luo Cheng with gloomy eyes.

"Brother, he is indeed Luo Cheng..."

Wen Ting, Yang Fan and Liu Tao behind him said with fear, they still remember Luo Cheng's coquettish sword before!
Now that Luo Chengcheng has reached mid-term consummation, isn't their big brother Su Rong not even an opponent?

Of course, the three of them dared not speak out.

"Mid-term consummation is mid-term consummation, it's no big deal." Su Rong curled his lips, not caring about his appearance, then looked at Ye Xuan, and said, "Junior Sister Ye Xuan, this Luo Cheng's master is your former master, Elder Jian Chen."

"Hmph! What Elder Jian Chen! He is not a sincere disciple at all, but just to show off his knowledge. He accepts disciples, does not guide you, does not teach you martial arts and martial arts, and talks a lot of inexplicable words every day." Ye Xuan's voice became colder, Full of contempt and ridicule.

She betrayed the teacher's school, no matter whether Jian Chen was willing or not, it would make people feel contemptuous and respectful of the teacher, so for the sake of face, she wantonly smeared Jian Chen.

The nickname 'Master of Swordsmanship Theory' was promoted by her in the inner courtyard with complaints.

For Luo Cheng...

"Being in Jian Chen for half a month, I must have not even learned the surface." She thought so.

.........

In the arena, Zhao Xiong didn't know Luo Cheng, but he could feel Luo Cheng's full strength in the mid-stage of Qi Refining Realm, just like him, which made his heart sink. After snatching the ring master and defending the ring twice, his true energy was no longer enough for one game fighting.

"If the opponent is smart, he will definitely drag me to fight, and show his flaws when I don't have enough energy. No, I must not let him succeed!"

Zhao Xiong is a smart person. After thinking about it, he can use all the remaining true energy to perform the three moves at the peak.

After three strokes, he will be exhausted and will not stop falling.But the odds of winning are much higher, and there is no need to compare to win.

Well calculated!
Seeing this, the three elders in the arena showed approval, feeling that what Zhao Xiong had done was very good.

"Every disciple thinks that the aptitude tested by core disciples refers to cultivation and martial arts attainments, but in fact, we value performance in battle more, and we can only win in life-and-death battles and survive and grow." Elder Xing Xing said.

"Japanese word punch!"

At this time, Zhao Xiong used his trump card. This punch can not only exert the power of the peak, but also ensure the control and balance of all parts of the body.

Even if Luo Cheng dodged the first punch, he would never be able to dodge the next two punches.

But what Zhao Xiong and even everyone in the audience did not expect was that Luo Cheng not only did not dodge, nor did he have a posture of confrontation.

"Couldn't he be supporting the university?"

"Are you courting death?"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and various suspicions sounded.

In an instant, Zhao Xiong was in front of Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng couldn't draw his sword or dodge at such a short distance.

"Scared?" People couldn't help thinking about this possibility.
