Chapter 266
Half a month passed in a flash.
Today is a good day, the streets are very lively, many disciples gathered together, and even some people who were performing missions outside came back, all because of the internal selection.
Many people know that as long as they can successfully win the internal election and become one of the candidates to enter the big election, it means that in the next year, they will get the owner of the valley, Liu Xin, or the entire Huangnu Valley. Cultivation, this benefit is not insignificant.
And if they are lucky and perform well in the big election, it is not impossible to become key disciples in the future, so they will naturally be moved.
The location of the internal selection is at the Phoenix Terrace, but this Phoenix Terrace is very different from two years ago. Perhaps it is to allow those disciples who are unable to participate in the internal selection to improve their own level by watching the competition. Liu Xin specially A stepped seat large enough to accommodate about ten thousand people was built here.
These stepped seats are distributed in four directions in the form of a circle, which is very even and coordinated, and if viewed from a high altitude, they look like a mosquito coil, full of artistic sense.
In addition, in the center of this "big mosquito-repellent incense", there are nine square platforms with an area of about [-] square meters, which are located in a vast open space. For example, these nine temporarily empty platforms are the places where the contestants compete.
It’s just that apart from these settings in front of you, there are eleven rooms that use formations and true black stones to make them float about 100 meters in the air, which adds a bit of grandiose feeling to this place.
But these eleven rooms lined up in a line are not for decoration, but have their own functions. The first room from left to right and the last No.11 room are for most elders. They use it so that they can better supervise the game and control the progress of the game.
From the second room to the fifth room and from the seventh room to the tenth room, these eight rooms are the rooms where the contestants are located, and the sixth room occupying the center is undoubtedly the owner of the valley, Liu Xin. in the room.
In short, this internal selection competition, because of the very important relationship, Liu Xin can be considered to have spent a lot of thought, it can be said that most of the personnel of Huangnv Valley have been used, and it seems that the entire Huangnv Valley I tried my best to participate in this event, just as an audience, just as a staff member, but perhaps, this is enough.
……
High altitude, the fifth room.
Besides Liu Xin, the unnamed strong men are also here, they are near the special window, looking at the nine platforms below, they seem to be able to see all the situation at a glance.
"Three newcomers to the Determination Realm, four who just broke through the Determination Realm, Zheng Xie and Ya'er who have been training for two years, and the elite disciples who have confidence in themselves, who do you think are the most likely... Who could it be?" Liu Xin asked lightly.
The nameless strong man pondered for a while, his gaze remained unchanged, and he replied softly: "I don't know who the most likely person is, but I know that the last two places must have Zheng Xie's name!"
"Oh? Hehe! It seems that you really like him!" Liu Xin said with a slight smile.
"Aren't you?" The nameless strong man asked back.
This made Liu Xin startled, but she did not refute, she said: "Of course."
……
The seventh room.
"There are a total of 32 contestants, and there are four people in each of the eight rooms, and this also means that a person must win at least four competitions to successfully get a place to enter the big competition... It's really troublesome!" Zheng Xie didn't look at the other three people in the room, but leaned against the wall and thought to himself.
Since the fifteen days, he has been staying in Liu Xin's yard without going out, firstly to avoid meeting the Huangshan woman, secondly, he also wanted to save time and adjust his mentality, after all, this The next internal election is also very important to him, if the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will be a big blow.
He knew none of the three people in the same room as Zheng Xie, but he was not interested in meeting them. Although they were all beauties, if they met in the competition, he would not be soft-hearted. forget it!
But these three women were somewhat interested in Zheng Xie, and they even peeked at Zheng Xie from time to time. Although they had already received news that a man would participate in the internal selection, they still felt a little curious after they actually met.
"Hey! There's nothing you can do about being handsome!" Zheng Xie felt the eyes of the three women and thought to himself.
……
second room.
This is the room where Nangongya is. It is different from Zheng Xie. The three women in the room with her are not very friendly, and even have some fighting spirit. Naturally, these three women know that she is the senior sister of Huangnu Valley. , Liu Xin's direct disciple, but they knew better that she was also a more dangerous enemy in the next competition.
"It's a good thing to be hostile, but you also need to be strong!" Nangong Ya glanced at the three of them inadvertently, and she had a panoramic view of their cultivation.
"In the late stage of the original state, the completion of the original state, and the half-step decisive state, this kind of cultivation may be considered acceptable among the disciples of the same generation, but most of the people participating in this internal selection are elites. , it’s just average, these people are doomed to be at the bottom, and they are also doomed to fail..." As if seeing the end of these people, Nangong Ya shook her head inwardly.
It just seemed to feel Nangong Ya's denial, and the three of them frowned. Although they didn't say anything, their hostility was getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen that if they competed with her, the three of them would definitely fight hard.
But Nangong Ya didn't care about this, it was contempt from the strong.
……
Fifth room.
All rooms are randomly matched with contestants to enter, and because there is only one eighth chance to meet someone you know in the same room, so usually acquaintances are separated, but this fifth This room happened to occupy one-eighth of that room, and Huang Xiang and Tian Zi seemed to be in this room.
"There's one thing I haven't figured out. At that time...why did she go to that man's side?" Huang Xiang sat on a wooden chair, as always, she didn't take the initiative to pay attention to Tian Zi, and observed him secretly as always. , but her thoughts moved slightly, and she suddenly remembered what happened when she was in Fenghuang, and she had some doubts.
"Judging from the situation of more than a year, this woman should not be the kind of person who provokes others. Could it be..." Thinking of this, a possibility suddenly appeared in Huang Xiang's heart, and her eyebrows gradually frowned. , there was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Could it be that...that man...she knows him?"
"Impossible! Impossible! If she knew her, why didn't she recognize her in the end? With that man's expression at that time, it seemed that he didn't know her either..." Huang Xiang shook her head lightly, slightly relieved : "In other words, she should have admitted the wrong person, and after finally finding out this, she left the restaurant."
At this moment, the more Huang Xiang thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility of admitting the wrong person was the greatest. As I said before, among the three new disciples, she was not worried about Bai Suqing, but she was a little confused about this Tianzi, so whether it was psychological effects or In other aspects, she will naturally be a little concerned, at least she thinks that she must not be careless before she gets a place in the big election.
Huang Xiang secretly observed Nangong Ya for about a year, and the situation has been calm all the time, except for what happened fourteen days ago, which made her worry.
Of course, Tianzi is not a fool, she has long known Huang Xiang's hostility towards her, but to her, she doesn't really care about this woman, because there is no need to care, everything will be decided in the competition.
But after a while, these two unrelated women suddenly thought of the same person in silence.
I saw Huang Xiang looked at her left hand, and then suddenly clenched it tightly. She didn't seem to think about Tianzi's matter anymore, but an inexplicable smile rose from the corner of her mouth, and she thought mysteriously: "And you...wait here After the first test is over, I will definitely look for you again..."
"Zheng Xie, after this competition is over, you should know who I am." Tianzi leaned against the window and looked outside, murmuring in her heart, only in her expression was some unspeakable sigh and sadness.
……
Let's talk about the competition. After all the contestants arrived and the audience entered the arena one by one, a woman flew out from the first room in the sky and landed on the middle platform among the nine platforms.
Taking a closer look, she seems to be the proprietress of Fenghuangyi.
Facing tens of thousands of spectators, she didn't question the situation at all. Instead, she just stood on the stage and made the originally noisy place a bit quieter. Her imposing manner, even some people whose cultivation base is higher than her, seem to be incomparable to her.
"Okay!" the proprietress whispered, showing a heavenly smile, and then said: "I believe everyone understands the rules of this competition. In fact, it is very simple. Two people fight to determine the final winner. There is a difference between the battle and the regular battle, that is, there is no rest period..."
As soon as this remark came out, both the audience and the contestants in the air room were a little surprised, because they knew the rules before coming here, and it seemed that there was no last one mentioned by the proprietress.
"What's going on?" A crowd woman on the audience stage wondered.
"I don't know, there is no break, is it a new rule?" Another woman in the crowd was also puzzled.
Such voices permeated the place in an instant, but the proprietress did not stop it. After all, everyone has the right to question, and what she has to do is to explain their doubts.
When there was silence again, the proprietress’s smile remained the same, and she continued: “I know that everyone has doubts, but let me tell you that this is not a temporary rule, but a rule that has always existed. The reason why I choose to say it now is that It's because our valley owner and some elders have some considerations..."
"You must know that in a big election, not everything can happen safely, and there will always be some accidents. If the disciple who enters the big election is not mentally prepared for this accident, then the possibility of this person's final failure is natural. It is also very big, I say that, the participating disciples almost understand it, right?"
The proprietress has already made it very clear, if those contestants don't understand, then they should miss the last two places.
……
"No gap should mean that you can't rest. That is to say, you have to fight at the end from the moment you start. This is extremely unfair to the people who play at the beginning, but in a big election, this kind of unfairness is not necessarily the same. It won't exist, but if it's a real strong person, it doesn't matter even if they fight continuously, so..." Zheng Xie in the seventh room narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
"So on the surface, this rule is unfair, but in fact it is the best rule. After all, most of the enemies you encounter in the big campaign are strong. If you don't have the ability to fight from the beginning to the end, this person I am not qualified to occupy those two places, but there is a little bit of luck involved..." Nangong Ya in the second room moved her eyes slightly and said to herself.
"Those who are selected for the first round of battle are all unlucky ones, but I can't blame others, I can only blame myself for being too unlucky, but luck is also a kind of strength, no matter how strong a strong person is, if he doesn't have good luck, even if there are more than one person Against the strength of Yizong, it is estimated that he will die halfway, hehe, it seems that Liu Xin's idea is really good..." Huang Xiang in the fifth room twitched her mouth and murmured.
"Luck and strength, both of which are indispensable, otherwise it will be easy to get out... I just don't know how my luck is?" Tianzi looked at the nine platforms below, and then looked at the other rooms, There was a look of deep thought in his eyes.
……
Below, on the ninth platform.
"Okay, I won't say anything superfluous, the real competition will start next, and the person I read will come to the platform..." The proprietress continued without changing her tone.
But at this moment, everyone present became silent, maybe they wanted to see who was unlucky.
"Platform No. [-], Li Ziyue in the second room versus Wang Liwen in the tenth room." The proprietress read slowly.
Not long after, a beautiful-looking woman and a woman with the same high value fell from the sky. Their cultivation bases were all perfect in their original state. Although they couldn't fly, they could at least float for a short time , so this height is not difficult for them.
It's just that after the two of them landed on the No. [-] platform, their expressions became gloomy.
"On the second platform, Liu Yi in the third room and Zhao Li in the ninth room..." Soon, two beauties came down with sighing faces, but there was no way, in this competition, Beauty does nothing.
"Platform No. [-], the fourth room, Cheng Cheng, and the eighth room, Wu Fang..."
"Platform No. [-], Yu Baihe in the fifth room, and Gongsun Yanran in the seventh room..."
"..."
"Platform No. [-], the fourth room Gao Xiuluo faces the eighth room Lu Xin..."
"There is one last... platform eight..."
Listening to the proprietress's words, all the contestants in the room held their breath. While they were happy that the first person was not themselves, they were worried that the next person would be themselves. When they heard the last moment, their hearts were as if They all stopped beating, including Zheng Xie, Nangong Ya, Huang Xiang, and the unknown Tianzi.
"Su Mu in the fifth room against the seventh room...Zheng Xie!"
At this time, after the proprietress finished saying this, except for Su Mu, who still didn't know his face, and Zheng Xie, who shook his head slightly, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had saved their lives. relieved
"It's embarrassing!" Zheng Xie in the seventh room thought helplessly, "Although I don't worry about losing the battle, it's always a troublesome thing to fight four times in a row!"
But after thinking about it, since he has already been named, there is no way out, so in the bitterness, he only needs to walk out of the seventh room and come to the eighth platform, but the moment he appears, everyone's attention is aroused. Eye-catching, but this is also a helpless thing, who told him to be the only man among the contestants?
In addition, Nangongya in the second room, and Huang Xiang and Tianzi in the fifth room, at the moment Zheng Xie appeared, there was a casual smile in tacit understanding, and they also thought together: "Luck...it really is a kind of strength."
……
The sixth room.
"This kid's luck has been really bad! Hahaha!" Liu Xin smiled as she watched Zheng Xie appear on the eighth platform.
But upon hearing Liu Xin's words, the unknown strongman asked with some doubts: "Didn't you do it on purpose?"
"Hey, you're wrong. What do you mean I did it on purpose? The order of the competition this time was randomly selected, and I didn't do anything..." Liu Xin said seriously.
It's just that the nameless strong man still doesn't believe it, but whether he believes it or not, he has no basis, so he just said meaningfully: "Then he is really unlucky, obviously someone can help him, alas!"
"Huh?" Liu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the nameless strong man had something to say, so she pretended to cough twice, and then said seriously: "The competition is all about fairness, I don't like going through the back door."
Hearing this, the nameless strong man shrugged and stopped talking.
……
Looking at the No. [-] platform again, the woman who came from the eighth room was wearing a simple blue dress and a long red skirt. Perhaps because of her petite figure, she had a slight sense of fragility.
"Alas!" Looking at Zheng Xie, the woman named Su Mu first sighed, and then said a sentence that everyone who came to the platform first would say: "Today's luck... ...It's really not good!"
As for this, Zheng Xie naturally agrees, he said: "It's not good, but there are many people who are unlucky today!"
At this point, he looked around at the fourteen women around him. Although being surrounded by women is something every man would think about, but now he is not happy at all, and even feels a little Inexplicable tragedy.
"Hehe!" Hearing Zheng Xie's words, Su Mu smiled sweetly, seeming to reveal some unique softness, and she said, "Then your luck will be even worse, because I am a middle-stage cultivator of the Life Determination Realm. Your strength at the early stages of the Determination Realm cannot defeat me."
Su Mu didn't mean to look down on Zheng Xie, she just said what she thought was the truth, which Zheng Xie could hear.
This Su Mu is also well-known in Huangnv Valley, because she is the second senior sister of Huangnv Valley, and her cultivation base has always been on par with Nangong Ya, but she has never shown her beauty. In the mid-term of the decisive environment, no one was informed.
"It's really unlucky to meet a person with such a high cultivation level right after I came up!" Zheng Xie exhaled, and a sad look suddenly appeared in Su Mu's eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. After the competition starts, you and I will do a few random tricks, and then you find a chance and accidentally fall off the stage. That's fine." Su Mu's tone was very gentle Said.
"Huh?" Zheng Xie was taken aback, but he was a little surprised. Although he knew that Su Mu said these words, he wanted to save his face in the competition, and he was completely thinking about him, but such a kind person , he really saw it for the first time.
This kind of pure heart is really rare in the cultivation world.
"It's not pretending, it's real, maybe that's why, even if she has a talent not inferior to Nangongya, she can't make Liu Xin catch her eyes! After all, her gentleness can't bear the position of the future Valley Master. "Zheng Xie rolled his eyes lightly, thinking to himself.
But after a while, he smiled softly: "If you can really beat me, I will do as you say."
Zheng Xie also didn't want to hurt such a woman, so he already had his own plans, but for some reason, he suddenly felt relieved. The relief for the cultivation world was strange, but it did exist.
"Yes." Su Mu smiled and nodded.
At this time, after seeing that everyone was present on the No. [-] platform, the proprietress went on to say: "Each platform has a corresponding barrier, and the outside cannot interfere with the inside, so people on the platform can rest assured." The competition..."
"As for the way to win, I believe everyone already knows it very well. The first is that the opponent loses consciousness. The second is that the opponent leaves the platform. The third is that the opponent voluntarily admits defeat..."
"During this period, you are not allowed to hurt people's lives, and you are not allowed to continue to attack when the opponent loses consciousness or takes the initiative to admit defeat, otherwise this person will immediately lose his qualifications and be expelled from Huangnu Valley. The elders and I will continue to supervise..."
"Okay! I've finished my words, so next...the competition will officially begin!" After saying that, the proprietress stopped talking, and just sat up quietly on the platform, as if she was completely indifferent to everything around her. Interested.
At this moment, the audience also looked away from her and looked at the other eight platforms.
It didn't take long before a fierce battle broke out between them.
All in all, for a while, the confrontation between profound arts and power occupied everyone's attention.
