Chapter 40 The opening of the competition

The next day, Su Yan got up early. Although it was still dark, the whole Nanxuanzong was very noisy.

Senior brother Yan Cheng and senior sister Lingmeng had also woken up early, and when Su Yan arrived at the main hall, they and their master, Elder Qingyang, were already waiting here.

Su Yan rubbed his chin, he didn't seem to have thought that Master and senior brothers and sisters were so early, he thought he woke up relatively early.

"Today is a very special day for our Nanxuanzong. Although every martial arts competition is very important, we are the hosts this time." Elder Qingyang said solemnly, "Our Nanxuanzong has not had many outstanding disciples over the years. In your generation, there are only a handful of people who can compete with the other three sects. The Northern Foot Sect is the best of the four sects. We probably have no hope for the top three sects this year. We just hope that we don’t lose too badly ..."

Having said that, Elder Qingyang turned his head to look at Su Yan, and urged him repeatedly: "Although your progress in cultivation has far exceeded your expectations as a teacher, you still have to be extremely careful in today's competition, and everything is about your own safety. , don't be impulsive!"

"Master, don't worry, the disciple knows what to do."

"Ah."

Elder Qingyang left, Su Yan, Yan Cheng and Ling Meng followed closely.

On the way to Guiyun Peak, the main line, Su Yan saw that the disciples of each line had already left for the main line to practice martial arts field one after another. Everyone was very excited, walking in twos and threes, chatting along the way.

When he was about to arrive at the Martial Arts Field, he met people from the Beilu Sect, led by their suzerain.

Some of the people who clashed with Su Yan on the Huike Peak yesterday were also among them, but there were no disciples with broken bones and tendons. Su Yan knew that it would be difficult for them to even get out of bed, so a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Elder Qingyang!" At the intersection of the roads in front of the Martial Arts Field, the Suzerain of Beilu suddenly stopped, turned his head, and his indifferent gaze stayed on Su Yan's face, "As expected of the chief elder of Nanxuanzong, Although several disciples have been confiscated over the years, a capable person has emerged from the sect."

"The Sect Master of Beilu is too famous." Elder Qingyang said politely on the surface, vaguely felt that the words of Sect Master of Beilu were thorny, and he looked at Su Yan very unkindly, but he didn't know what happened at Huike Peak yesterday.

"Elder Qingyang, why should you be modest? This suzerain is not exaggerating at all." A cold light flashed in the eyes of Beilu suzerain, "The disciples under your sect are really good, and they are full of courage. Let's fight!"

Hearing such words, Elder Qingyang was startled, looked at Su Yan and the others intentionally or unintentionally, but showed a gentle smile on his face, "I don't understand the words of Sect Master Beilu, if the disciples under the sect are really negligent place, please suzerain Haihan."

"What did Elder Qingyang say? How can this suzerain intervene in the affairs between disciples." Beilu suzerain also laughed, "It's just that the disciples are more or less suppressing a little anger in their hearts, so let them compete in the competition stage Go up and solve it, that's where you can prove your strength."

Qingyang nodded with a smile, agreeing to the words of the Suzerain of Beilu, but his mood became more and more dignified.

"What are you talking about?" Elder Qingyang looked at Yan Cheng and the others and asked after the members of Beilu Sect left.

Yan Cheng looked at Su Yan, and then briefly explained what happened on the Huike Peak yesterday.

During this process, Elder Qingyang's expression changed several times in a row. After listening to it, he felt in a good mood and couldn't help laughing.

Yancheng and Lingmeng, who were still a little apprehensive, heaved a sigh of relief.

"The people of the Northern Foot Sect have always been self-righteous, and they still dare to play tricks when they arrive at the Southern Xuan Sect. Su Yan taught them a profound lesson. Even the teacher feels relieved by this matter!"

Yan Cheng hurriedly looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Master, it's better for you to keep your voice down. If someone hears it and spreads it to the ears of those in the Beilu Sect, I'm afraid it won't be good."

"It doesn't matter, even if the Suzerain of Beilu is in front of you, this is still the same sentence as a teacher!" Elder Qingyang felt relieved, and the worries between his brows seemed to have eased a lot. When he looked at Su Yan, there was a faint feeling in his eyes. expect.

Entering the Martial Arts Arena, Su Yan followed Master to the well-divided area, where all people from Nanxuanzong lived.There are several rows of seats at the front near the fighting platform, which are prepared for the suzerain, elders and guardians.

The inner disciples stood at the back, while the direct disciples followed their master and stood quietly behind them.

Su Yan felt that there were many pairs of hostile eyes staring at him coldly, and he didn't need to look to know that it was a member of the Beilu Sect.

Without squinting, he calmly looked at the suzerain Ji Gan who was on the stage.

"Sovereign masters, this year's Nanxuanzong is honored to be the host of the four sect martial arts competitions in the Beilu Mountains. This suzerain feels very honored, and also very grateful for the support of the four colleges. Yesterday was busy, if there is any place that is not well taken care of , I also ask all suzerains to bear with me."

After a polite opening remark, Ji Gan got to the point: "Today is the day of the official competition, and it is a very important day for our four major sects in the Beilu Mountain Range. Regarding the rules of the competition, the envoy has already passed the rules yesterday. It is very detailed, and I believe everyone understands it clearly, so I won’t repeat it.”

"The first round of competition rules is a two-two duel, and now the three suzerains are invited to come on stage to draw and choose the sect to fight next!" Ji Qian took out four sealed lotteries, "The lottery in my hand is No. [-] and No. [-] respectively. No. [-], No. [-], No. [-]. The sect that drew the No. [-] lottery will fight against the sect that drew the No. [-] lottery, and the sect that drew the No. [-] lottery will fight against the No. [-] lottery!”

The three major sect masters looked at each other, and boarded the most central competition platform amidst the nervousness of the elders, guardians and disciples.

The rules of the competition seem to be fair, but in fact they are not completely fair. Luck is also very important, especially for the three major sects other than Beilu Sect.

Whether it is Xixiazong, Dongyuezong or Nanxuanzong, no one wants to compete with Beiluzong in the first round.After all, the participating disciples of the Northern Foot Sect are too strong. If they meet them in the first round, most of them will be eliminated directly, and they will not even be qualified to enter the second round.

On the stage, the Beilu Sect Master was the calmest. He was full of smiles, and he had already made up his mind, as if the top three in this competition were destined to belong to their Beilu Sect.

Although the suzerains of Dongyue Sect and Xixia Sect had calm expressions, their hands that stretched out the lottery trembled slightly.After all, if they draw, it may determine what kind of results the sect can achieve in this martial arts competition.

The hearts of the two seemed to be very entangled, and they couldn't get down half a day before reaching out to the four picks.After repeated hesitation, the suzerain of Dongyue and the suzerain of Xixia chose the lottery on the left and the left respectively.

The last two sticks were left in Ji Gan's hand, and the Suzerain of Beilu randomly drew one of them.

At this moment, the people of the four major sects all looked at their suzerain, especially the direct disciples who participated in the martial arts competition, and wanted to know which sect their next opponent would be from!

"Sovereign masters, open the lottery in your hands." The envoy of the Royal Academy said from the audience,

"This suzerain comes first!" Beilu suzerain opened the lottery in his hand, one of which was engraved with "three"!
Beiluzong got the third lottery!
As a result, the mood of the other three suzerains became even more tense, and now no one wants to engrave "one" on the sign in their hand!
Number two!
Sect Master Xixia showed the lottery he had drawn, and a look of relief appeared on his noble and mature face.

Now only the lottery numbers in the hands of Dongyue Sect Master and Ji Gan have not been announced, and the number one lottery for the battle against Beiluzong is in the hands of both of them.

Sect Master Dongyue couldn't help but squeeze the lottery in his hand, he felt his palms were slightly soaked with sweat.Although Ji Qian was very calm on the surface, he was also a little uneasy in his heart.

"I said Dongyue Sect Master, Ji Sect Master, you should stop holding on to the lottery in your hands." Beilu Sect Master began to urge.

Ji Gan spread out his palm and tore off the sealing wax on the signature. Suddenly, the whole martial arts field fell silent, and the needle could be heard!

"No. [-] lottery!"

The lottery in Ji Gan's hand turned out to be number one!It also means that he has drawn Beiluzong as the object of the first round of competition for Nanxuanzong!

Under the fighting stage, the hearts of most of the participating disciples of Nanxuanzong suddenly sank, and they couldn't help sighing secretly.

Because Xiang Yunfei and Song Zanqi, the two strongest personal disciples of the sect, lost track of them after going out for training a few years ago.In terms of the comprehensive strength of contemporary direct disciples, Nanxuanzong might be at the bottom, but now they have met the strongest Beiluzong.

From the weakest to the strongest, the result is self-evident. Everyone thinks that in this martial arts competition, Nanxuanzong is destined to be at the bottom.

"Well, I didn't expect our opponent in the first round to be Nanxuanzong..." A somewhat disappointed voice came from Beiluzong, which seemed very abrupt and harsh in the silent martial arts arena.

Immediately afterwards, another disciple of the Beilu Sect answered, "If we compete with Dongyue Sect or Xixia Sect, maybe we can enjoy ourselves. There are very few contemporary disciples of the Southern Xuan Sect who deserve our serious attention. ..."

Such blatant provocation and contempt made Ji Gan on the stage angry, and his face suddenly sank.

Under the stage, all the disciples of Nanxuanzong glared at the two direct disciples of Beiluzong who spoke, and all the elders and guardians were also ashen.

People from the four major sects gathered here, and those two direct disciples actually said such words, obviously looking down on Nanxuanzong and humiliating them!

"What are you so proud of? You're so arrogant and arrogant before you even compete on stage!" Chu Liukong, a direct disciple of Elder Bi Qing, responded coldly, "There is a way to stand tall and fall hard, whoever is stronger and who is weaker You still have to fight on the stage to find out, and trying to be brave here is just a trick of the tongue!"

"Hehe, Chu Liukong, I have to admire your courage. You dare to say such a thing at this time. If you are not convinced, we can try it on the fighting platform. I will trample you under my feet and let you Look up at me!"

The person who spoke was Wei Jing, a direct disciple of Zhong Geyuan's sect, Su Yan recognized this person, and heard a woman surnamed Chen from Xixia Sect mention it yesterday.This Wei Jing is very strong, has the realm of the third heaven of Huaqi Realm, and has the shape of a green wood god. He is ranked among the top three figures in the entire Beilu Sect!
Su Yan carefully observed the direct disciples of the Northern Foot Sect who participated in the competition. He had to admit that those people were very powerful!In the first round of competition with them, the brothers and sisters of my own sect are in a very bad situation. I am afraid that there will not be more than six people who can successfully advance to the second round of competition!
There are four major sects in the Beilu Mountain Range, and each sect plus the main line has a total of five lines of inheritance. Each line sends three direct disciples to participate in the competition, a total of fifteen!
Su Yan roughly estimated the strength of the two sides. There were 30 people from his own sect and the Beilu Sect in the first round of the competition. In terms of two-in-one, there were fifteen people who entered the second round.

However, among the fifteen places, Su Yan estimated that it would be ideal for his sect to occupy six places!
