Half a month later.
In the Liuxian Faction, the hearts of the people wavered.
Many disciples who had been in seclusion for a long time came out at this moment. Their minds were restless as they walked around.
They were either sparring or exchanging experiences.
The reason was simple. The Xianyun Contest, which was held once every five years, was just around the corner!
This was the grandest competition in the Liuxian faction!
Those who passed would have the qualifications to enter the rumored Ancient Xianyun Temple and obtain shocking fortunes!
Once upon a time, there was a Seventh Level Holy King disciple who entered it and obtained countless opportunities.
When she came out, she became a Dragon Realm Level Three strong martial artist!
Later on, she became an elder of the sect!
She was the second elder of the sect!
A person who had spent his entire life as a legend!
And now, the Ancient Xianyun Temple, which was held once every five years, was about to descend. The opportunity for twenty people to fight for the sublimation was placed in front of them.
Perhaps, this was their chance to reverse the situation and soar through the Nine Heavens!
Second Elder's courtyard.
Mo Wu bowed and stood behind her master, the Second Elder. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. "Master, why did you come out of seclusion earlier than expected?"
Second Elder's injuries seemed to have worsened because he had come out early.
The Second Elder's voice was like the sounds of nature, gentle and pleasant to listen to. "I'm looking up some ancient books."
Mo Wu was very intelligent. "Ancient books? Is it about Qin Xianer's Phoenix of Death bloodline? "
"Yes." The Second Elder nodded slightly and did not explain further.
However, his pale eyes were filled with doubt.
She brought Qin Xianer with her to go into seclusion just in case. However, during the process, she discovered that Qin Xianer's Phoenix of Death Bloodline was a little unusual. Therefore, she gave up on her seclusion and started reading ancient books.
Mo Wu was jealous. Her teacher still favored Su Yu as usual!
"I hope he won't let down Master's good intentions …" Mo Wu said.
The Second Elder did not reply. Instead, she said gently, "To you, the Ancient Xianyun Temple is a place of fortune. Hence, you must not be careless in the Xianyun Contest tomorrow."
"I understand! I will definitely seize the opportunity, strive to break through, and obtain the qualifications to enter the Alliance!! "When Mo Wu mentioned the word" Alliance ", her heart trembled, and her eyes were unprecedentedly firm.
The Second Elder sighed. "I didn't accept you as my disciple out of selfishness. You don't have to cling to the alliance."
Mo Wu was silent. Her eyes were as resolute as ever.
The next day, the Xianyun Contest, which everyone had been looking forward to, finally arrived.
The Sect Leader, the ten Grand Elders, the management, and all the Inner Disciples were all present!
The grandeur of the scene was unprecedented.
Mo Wu looked around and felt anxious.
Su Yu was not there!
Could it be that he couldn't make it back in time?
Second Elder's pale eyes were filled with worry.
Su Yu had worked hard to enter the Abyss of Wutong, survived, and obtained the opportunity to participate in the Xianyun Contest. If he was late, it would be a pity!
"Since everyone is here, let's begin." The Master of the Liuxian Faction announced the start of the Assembly indifferently.
The chief referee was Ruo Lan, the president of the External Affairs Hall.
He flew to the center of the arena and announced the rules expressionlessly.
"The competition will be divided into three rounds! The first two rounds of the preliminaries, and the last round, the finals! "
"In the first round of selection, the most outstanding person will be chosen from among the Sixth Level Holy Kings, and he will successfully enter the next round of selection. There will only be one slot!"
Upon hearing this, all the Sixth Level Holy Kings were shocked!
Out of the hundreds of Sixth Level Holy Kings, only one could enter the next round of selections. The brutality of the assessment made one speechless.
"As for the specific assessment method, the faction will send a Seventh Level Lower Tier Holy King to oversee the arena. The Sixth Level Holy King disciples participating in the selection will spar with the Seventh Level Holy King. The more moves the Sixth Level Holy King can withstand, the more outstanding their results will be."
Under the eyes of the higher-ups of the faction, it would be difficult to escape their eyes. Presumably, no one would dare to cheat.
This was considered fair!
"Seventh Level Holy King?" Many Sixth Level Lower Tier Holy King contestants were speechless.
"I give up!" Very quickly, many Sixth Level Lower Tier Holy Kings chose to give up after pondering for a moment.
The gap between them and a Seventh Level Holy King was too big. There was no benefit in going up on stage.
It would be better to relax and observe the battle. This way, their gains might be greater.
As such, only Sixth Level Upper Tier Holy Kings and Sixth Level Peak Holy Kings were left with the intention to try.
Xi Ruo Lan's expression was calm. "Let's invite the Deputy Clan Master of the Elixir Hall, Wu Baiyi, to oversee the arena!"
Wu Baiyi was around fifty years old. He had a pale face and a calm temperament.
He stood behind the Fifth Elder and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Fifth Elder's eldest disciple, Wei Kang.
Wu Baiyi was promoted by the Fifth Elder and was naturally familiar with his disciple, Wei Kang.
Hearing this, Wei Kang cupped his fists and congratulated Wu Baiyi. "Congratulations, Uncle-Master Wu, for taking on the great responsibility of the faction."
Wu Baiyi was also a little surprised. The selection of the candidates to oversee the arena was decided on the spot and was not informed in advance.
With a face full of joy, Wu Baiyi flew to oversee the arena.
Wei Kang had a faint smile on his face. He turned his head and said to a fat young man of Level Six Peak Martial Path behind him, "Liu Qian, remember to perform well later. Although Uncle-Master Wu will not go easy on you in front of the higher-ups, you are very familiar with Uncle-Master Wu's techniques. Compared to ordinary people, you have many advantages. You will definitely be able to withstand quite a few of his attacks."
Liu Qian was the second disciple of the Fifth Elder and also Wei Kang's junior.
His body was dark and fat, like a stone puppet.
However, his abilities were very strong. He was at Sixth Level Peak Holy King and was only a step away from Seventh Level Holy King.
Seeing that it was Uncle-Master Wu who was overseeing the arena, the fat young man squeezed out an excited expression and nodded his head hurriedly. "Yes! Senior Wei! "
Liu Qian rolled his eyes and said, "If I meet Su Yu, I will definitely teach him a lesson on behalf of Senior! Senior has a high status and will not bother with such a small fry. However, Junior will not tolerate him flaunting his power in front of Senior! "
In the forbidden ruins, Su Yu had stolen Mo Wu's limelight many times in front of her.
In addition, Mo Wu's protection of Su Yu had caused Wei Kang to burn with jealousy.
Hearing this, Wei Kang nodded his head. "Sure, but remember not to overdo it."
After all, the higher-ups were present and they could not go overboard.
"Hehe, Junior understands!"
"The selection has begun. I will read out the names and you will come up to the arena one by one to spar!" Xi Ruolan took out the name list and selected the candidates one by one.
"Ma Xiaoling, come up to the arena!"
Ma Xiaoling, a young female Sixth Level Upper Tier Holy King.
Ma Xiaoling leaped up easily and flew up to the arena. She had a weak and shy personality.
Biting her lips, Ma Xiaoling blushed and bowed. "Uncle-Master Wu, please show mercy!"
Wu Baiyi was calm, his expression gentle and calm. "Make your move."
Ma Xiaoling took a deep breath. Twenty jade needles encircled her palm. "Pardon me!"
"Pear Blossom Storm!"
With a shout, Ma Xiaoling's temperament changed from weak to fierce.
The twenty jade needles in her palm released a white fluorescent light. They were like pear blossoms.
Twenty flowers clustered around each other. It was beautiful.
However, as Ma Xiaoling flipped her palm, the pear blossoms were filled with murderous intent. They were like a torrential downpour, heading straight for Wu Baiyi!
Under the fluorescent light of the pear blossoms, the jade needles were hidden and it was difficult to discern their trajectory.
Wu Baiyi's expression was normal. He smiled and commented. "The hidden weapons are well trained and contain illusions. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to defend against them. However, hidden weapons are used when the enemy is unprepared. In a direct confrontation, their power would be greatly reduced."
As he spoke, he raised his palm and tapped the air with his five fingers.
Creak —
Creak —
The pear blossoms were destroyed one by one. The hidden jade needles fell to the ground one by one, letting out a crisp sound.
Immediately after, he flicked his finger. A bolt of powerful spirit energy attacked Ma Xiaoling's body.
A strong gust of wind blew her off the arena.
"Ma Xiaoling, one move." Xi Ruolan announced calmly and recorded.
"Second, Zhan Feipeng!"
Zhan Feipeng was a Sixth Level Upper Tier Holy King. He was good at Light Body Technique.
However, just like Ma Xiaoling, he was defeated in one move the moment he stepped onto the arena!
"Third, Huang Bing!"
"I admit defeat!"
After watching two battles, many Sixth Level Upper Tier Holy Kings chose to give up.
The difference between them and Wu Baiyi was too great. It would be difficult for them to defend against one move.
"Fourth …"
"Admit defeat!"
"Fifth …"
..
Most of the Sixth Level Upper Tier Holy Kings gave up.
Those who persisted were all defeated in one move!
"Hundredth, Luo Tianxiang!"
Luo Tianxiang was a Sixth Level Peak Holy King!
He was good at Light Body Technique and Fire Path. He was strong in both offense and defense. Among the Sixth Level Peak Holy Kings, he was considered a veteran. He had experienced many dangerous situations and was experienced in battles.
Whoosh —
Flying across the arena, Luo Tianxiang was full of fighting spirit. "Uncle Wu, I'm sorry!"
"Magnificent Waves!" Luo Tianxiang circled around Wu Baiyi and walked quickly.
Afterimages surrounded Wu Baiyi.
It was difficult to distinguish the afterimages with one's naked eye.
Looking from afar, Wu Baiyi seemed to have fallen into layers of waves and was surrounded.
"Burning Sun Fire!" Luo Tianxiang's afterimages spat out fire.
The fiery red flames came from all directions and shot at Wu Baiyi, causing him to sink into a sea of fire.
Wu Baiyi's expression was slightly grave, but he was still relaxed. "It is a combination of body movement and attack, compatible and smooth. However, its weakness is that it is not outstanding in both aspects. Hence, it is mediocre overall!"
After his speech, he shot out spiritual energy from his ten fingers and destroyed the flames in all directions.
Luo Tianxiang's expression changed. He activated his body movement technique again and got close to Wu Baiyi for close combat!
However, Wu Baiyi easily saw through Luo Tianxiang's trajectory and hit his shoulder blade with his palm, sending him out of the arena.
"Luo Tianxiang, withstand two moves!" Xi Ruolan nodded slightly. After all, Wu Baiyi was a Sixth Level Peak Holy King. It was not bad for him to force Wu Baiyi to make a second move.
Next, dozens of Sixth Level Peak Holy Kings went up one after another.
However, there were only a few who could withstand two moves.
"Last one, Liu Qian."
Whoosh —
A dark and plump figure flew up the arena. It was Wei Kang's junior, Liu Qian, a Sixth Level Peak Holy King.
Although he was plump, his abilities were not bad. He was also a veteran Sixth Level Peak Holy King.
It was said that he had once fought with Luo Tianxiang and defeated him within thirty moves!
"Uncle Wu, I'm sorry!"
Liu Qian's eyes flashed as he suddenly attacked!
He was most proficient in close combat fist techniques!
"Big Dipper Seven Star Fist!" Liu Qian punched out with both of his fists. In a few breaths' time, he had punched out seven times!
Xi Ruolan's eyes were filled with admiration. "Level One Top Class of Legacy Level Cultivation Technique. He is only a step away from Level Two."
Wu Baiyi's expression turned grave and a helpless look appeared on his face.
He often sparred with Liu Qian. Hence, Liu Qian naturally understood Wu Baiyi's weakness.
That was … close combat!
Rumble —
Wu Baiyi was slightly cautious. Although he used his absolute abilities to repel Liu Qian, Liu Qian relied on his experience from sparring with Wu Baiyi.
However, Liu Qian used his experience from sparring with Wu Baiyi to dodge first and used his fist technique to neutralize part of the attack. Hence, he withstood the attack at the cost of a light injury!
"Again!" Liu Qian's eyes were filled with excitement. It looked like he would be the only one to be selected!
Liu Qian had his way after three tries.
Although he was knocked off the arena by Wu Baiyi in the end, he had successfully withstood four moves!
Xi Ruolan nodded her head in satisfaction. "Liu Qian, you withstood four moves. Your results are the most outstanding!"
Mo Wu was anxious. The first round of the assessment was about to end, but Su Yu had yet to return!
The Second Elder creased her brows. If that was the case, all of Su Yu's previous efforts would have been in vain.
"I announce that the first round of the assessment has ended. The winner is … Liu …"
However, at that moment.
A beam of fiery red light pierced through the sky.
It was like a burning meteorite, flickering deep within the clouds.
Everyone could only catch a glimpse of what seemed to be a flash of red lightning within the thick layers of clouds. Then, everything returned to normal.
Many people thought it was an illusion!
However, a giant vortex suddenly appeared within the thick layers of clouds!
From within the vortex, a ball of fiery red flames fell rapidly like a meteorite!
