It was late autumn and the weather was getting colder and colder.
Early in the morning, many people in Huai Ning City flocked to the City Lord Mansion.
Today was the day of the triennial selection. The lucky ones who could get into the top five would have the opportunity to be favored by the Gui Yuan Sect and embark on a path of cultivation that could change their destiny.
As in previous years, there were eight families participating in the selection this time. In addition to the Wu family, Ji family, and Li family who could send eight disciples, there were five families like the Lin family who could also send five disciples to participate in this selection.
The 49 most outstanding teenagers in Huai Ning City were standing behind their elders at this time and bowing to a middle-aged man in purple in front of them. This middle-aged man was the deacon in charge of the selection of the Gui Yuan Sect. With a cultivation of the Human Yuan Realm, he was already arrogant in the small Huai Ning City.
On his left were three teenagers who looked extraordinary. They were the young people from the three families that Lin Xiu saw on the street that day.
And on the right of the deacon stood the most powerful City Lord in Huai Ning City. However, the City Lord, who had the final say in the city, was now carefully standing beside the deacon and putting himself in a very low position.
He raised his eyelids and looked at the teenagers in front of him lazily. After finding that there were no particularly outstanding talents, the deacon just grunted stiffly in response to everyone's compliments.
For him, dozens of deacons of the Gui Yuan Sect came to places like Huai Ning City to select disciples every year. These little guys could be regarded as geniuses in their own cities, but once they gathered in the Gui Yuan Sect, many of them quickly lost their brilliance among the countless geniuses.
Every year, there were hundreds of disciples who entered the Gui Yuan Sect, but only a few people really passed the sect test and became inner disciples. The other hundreds of "geniuses" could only be reduced to outer disciples.
And the credit of these deacons often came from the talent of the selected disciples. For Deacon Liu, who hadn't had an inner disciple for many years, he really didn't have any hope for the teenagers in front of him.
Accompanied by the City Lord of Huai Ning City and many family patriarchs, Deacon Liu sat directly on the main seat on the stand, and the three young people from the three families could also sit on the side.
At this time, the City Lord of Huai Ning City got up from his seat, swept across the crowd with powerful yuan qi, and began to read the rules of this competition.
Like in previous years, the rules of this selection were very simple. The first round was for all the teenagers to fight on the same arena, and the 10 teenagers who could stay on the arena successfully advanced to the second round.
In the second round, the 10 teenagers would draw lots to fight against each other. The five teenagers who won would get one point, and the five who lost would get no points.
However, this did not mean that those who failed would not have another chance. Each of them had two chances to challenge. If they could defeat the other five youths, then they would be able to snatch their opponent's points.
After the challenge was over, the five youths with the highest scores would become the outer mountain disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect. They would be brought to the capital of the Qian Yuan Dynasty by Deacon Liu to compete with the geniuses from all over the country. Hundreds of youths would fight for the honor of becoming an inner court disciple, which was limited to only five places.
After introducing the selection rules, the City Lord of Huaining City waved his hand, indicating that the youths participating in the selection could enter the arena.
"Lin Xiu, the five of us will stand together and help each other." As soon as he stepped on the arena, Lin Feng lowered his voice and said to Lin Xiu next to him.
Lin Xiu naturally had no objection. The more people from the Lin Family could enter the Gui Yuan Sect, the happier he would be. This was only the first round.
After the five juniors of the Lin Family stood in the north of the arena, they found that the other families were doing the same as them.
Everyone stared at each other vigilantly, and some weak teenagers even began to sweat.
At the moment when the City Lord of Huai Ning City announced the start of the selection, the momentum of the teenagers in the field suddenly broke out!
"Am I seeing it right? There are 12 people in the bone tempering realm!" There was no lack of astute people in the audience below the stage. After seeing the soaring auras, they quickly judged the strengths and weaknesses of each of them.
"Hey? Look, there are three people in the bone tempering realm on the Lin Family's side! Damn, when did they become more powerful than the three families? "A middle-aged man in yellow couldn't help but say.
On the high platform, the masters of many families in Huai Ning City were sitting quietly, and their faces were a little ugly.
Who would have thought that the Lin Family had cultivated so many excellent disciples quietly!
Lin Wentian, on the high platform, touched his white beard with relief. He was modest, but the pride in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
As early as two days ago, Lin Feng had also successfully broken through to the bone tempering realm.
For a time, the limelight of the Lin Family even overshadowed the originally powerful three families. But what they didn't know was that the trump card of the Lin Family was still Lin Xiu, a teenager who was only at the peak of the blood refining realm!
The battle in the field was in full swing. In the eyes of these big shots on the high platform, their offensive means were still a little rough, and their martial arts were not so smooth. They didn't care about the fight between the juniors below. They only cared about who could stand out in the end, become a disciple of the Gui Yuan Sect, and win glory for the whole family.
In addition to the Lin Family, the most eye-catching were the juniors of the three families. After they found that the Lin Family was a tough stubble, they temporarily extended their claws to the juniors of other weaker families.
With their cooperation, some opponents whose strength had not reached the bone tempering realm had quickly surrendered.
In a short period of time, the number of people left in the field was less than half.
There were even two unlucky masters of the bone tempering realm. Under the cooperation of the three families, the selection ended early and could only leave the arena with hatred.
There were only 20 people left in the field. Among the remaining people, except for their brothers, no one dared to trust others easily.
Several small groups were confronting each other coldly, trying to find some flaws in each other.
At this point, no one would easily give up and quit. This selection was enough to change their fate, and everyone would cherish this hard-won opportunity.
After a long time, Lin Xiu, who was inconspicuous in everyone's eyes, suddenly moved. He was only at the peak of the blood refining realm, and others didn't pay attention to him.
But as Lin Xiu made his move, they found that they were ridiculously wrong.
In a short period of time, Lin Xiu was like a nobody. He kicked the figures off the arena like sandbags, and even some people who had just entered the bone tempering realm were no exception.
There was an uproar in the field!
A blood refining realm cultivator beating a bone tempering realm cultivator like beating up a chicken was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Even the deacon, who originally squinted his eyes, looked at Lin Xiu a few more times.
A blood refining realm cultivator could compete with a bone tempering realm cultivator. He had encountered a lot of them in the years he was in charge of selecting disciples.
But it was the first time he saw someone like Lin Xiu, who cleaned up so casually.
