Early in the morning, a quarter to seven, Blue Water Peak.
The sun had completely risen, bathing the entire land in sunlight. However, the sun could not stop the snowflakes from falling from the sky. Even though there were very few clouds in the sky, the snow continued to fall.
The snow was very light, but it did not dampen the people's enthusiasm. This was because it was the second day of Blue Water Peak's examination, and also the second level Heavenly Master's battlefield.
Yesterday, Lu An and Li Hang's final battle shocked everyone, and it also drew a perfect conclusion to yesterday's competition. If one had to point out a flaw, it would be that the victor of the battle was sent to the Punishment Pavilion.
The Punishment Pavilion was a forbidden place for the disciples. No one would mention that place, and just thinking about it would give them goosebumps.
Although they had never entered, they had seen many people come out of the Punishment Pavilion. Those people were either seriously injured or disabled, or they seemed to have gone crazy. One had to know that the punishment of the Great Accomplishment Heavenly Mountain was very severe, and because of this, no one dared to do anything that would let down Blue Water Peak or the Great Accomplishment Heavenly Mountain.
While discussing yesterday's shocking battle, many people also expressed pity for Lu An. If Lu An really had some problems because of entering the Punishment Pavilion, then they would have lost a good seedling.
However, when the people in the arena saw Lu An appear behind Elder Wei and Han Ya, they were all shocked!
He actually came out?
This brat actually came out?!
All the disciples stared with wide eyes, especially the disciples who lived on Blue Water Peak. They had been on Blue Water Peak for so long, and they had never heard of anyone coming out on the second day after entering the Punishment Pavilion. Moreover, this brat actually came to watch the competition?
However, when they recovered from their shock and carefully looked at Lu An, they quickly discovered that Lu An's walking speed and posture were very strange, as if walking was a very difficult task. Moreover, there were many dark red wounds on his face, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot yesterday.
However, being able to walk meant that his injuries were not serious, and it was very likely that they were only superficial wounds. It seemed that Chen Wuyong still managed to protect his disciple, and this was already a great blessing.
After Lu An separated from the two, he went to the place where he had watched yesterday's battle. When Chen Wuyong arrived and the disciples saw Lu An, they immediately burst into cheers!
Ignoring the gazes of the people around them and ignoring Chen Wuyong, the disciples hurriedly ran towards Lu An and surrounded him, forming three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Lu An, how are you?" Chen Wen was the first to speak. He asked anxiously, "Are you seriously injured?"
"That's right. Are your injuries serious? Why aren't you lying in bed? It's such a cold day, yet you still came out to watch the competition! "Liu Hongchang said anxiously.
Seeing how concerned everyone was, Lu An smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a small injury."
Chen Wuyong, who had just walked to the side of the stands and heard these words, glanced at Lu An. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He sat down.
"You scared us to death yesterday!" Liu Hongchang breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly, "If Master hadn't come back and told us that he had rescued you, we wouldn't have been able to sleep all night! Even Chen Wen wanted to go to the Punishment Pavilion to save you! "
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think."
"It's good that you're fine! It's good that you're fine! " Chen Wen also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But I heard from Master that your injuries are not light. You won't be able to go back for a few days. You should be more careful!"
"En." Lu An replied with a smile.
After Lu An explained the matter in a few words, the spectator stands became more and more crowded. The entire Blue Water Peak was here. No matter if it was an elder or a disciple, no one was absent. After all, today was a battle between two level two Heavenly Masters. No one wanted to miss this annual event.
When everyone sat down, Tian Lie jumped down from the stands and landed in the center of the arena. He looked around and stopped when he saw Chen Wuyong and Lu An. He frowned and his eyes flashed with coldness.
However, Chen Wuyong's eyes also showed coldness. There was no respect for Tian Lie from yesterday.
Their gazes intertwined for a brief moment before disappearing. When Tian Lie looked at the front again, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Today is the day when the disciples of Blue Water Peak fight!" Tian Lie's voice was very loud and very spacious. It spread far and wide, making people feel a chill. He said, "It's also the day to find out who is the strongest disciple of Blue Water Peak!"
"Today's competition is very important!" Tian Lie said loudly, "Because it's not only related to your rewards, but also to which four people will represent Blue Water Peak in the year-end competition of the Great Accomplishment Heavenly Mountain!"
Everyone's body shook and their eyes gradually became serious. Whether it was a level one Heavenly Master or a level two Heavenly Master, no matter who their master was, they were all disciples of Blue Water Peak. The glory of Blue Water Peak was their glory. This represented whether or not they could raise their heads in front of the disciples of the other peaks!
However, when they thought of the ranking of the previous years, everyone's face became heavy.
Blue Water Peak had been last place for four consecutive years. In fact, among the five Outer Peaks, Blue Water Peak was the only one that was not last place in the past ten years.
It could not be helped. The water element was recognized as the least special among all the elements. Among them, the wind and ice elements were slightly better. If you only cultivated the water element, your fighting capacity would be really low.
However, even if you cultivated the wind and ice elements, there was still a big gap between you and the other four elements. Generally speaking, the water element was worse than the other elements.
"This year, I hope you all can show a different level!" Tian Lie stood in the center of the field. After looking around, his gaze finally fell on the disciples of Blue Water Peak. He shouted loudly, "I hope to see you all make progress and create a possible performance. Do you all understand?"
"Yes!" All the disciples of Blue Water Peak shouted loudly. Their voices were full of determination and strength!
"Then, the competition officially begins!" Tian Lie shouted.
Tian Lie walked out of the field amidst the shouts of the audience. At the same time, the elder presiding over the competition came to the center of the field. He looked at the name list in his hand. There were exactly 32 people on the list. The groups were neat and tidy, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"The first group, Chang Gao and Bao Chengtang!" The elder looked at the top of the paper in his hand and shouted loudly.
Before he finished speaking, two people stood up from the stands. Because they were all in the same area, the two people were not far away from each other. The two people looked at each other and a sharp light appeared in their eyes.
Then, the two people jumped to the center of the field. At the same time, the audience burst into applause.
Lu An sat in the middle of the audience and was also applauding. If it were not for his injuries, his applause would have been louder.
Seeing the two people come to the center of the field, Liu Hongchang moved closer to Lu An and said, "I've heard of these two people. They are both in the late stage of level two Heavenly Master. They are not young anymore. I don't know if they have the chance to become level three Heavenly Masters. But I think it's unlikely. The days of the Dacheng Mountain are coming to an end. Alas! "
Lu An was stunned. He turned to Liu Hongchang and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"You don't know?" Liu Hongchang was also a little surprised. He quickly explained, "In the Dacheng Mountain, if a person can't become a level three Heavenly Master before the age of 40, they will be ordered to leave the mountain."
Lu An frowned and asked, "Will they be expelled from the sect?"
"That's not the case. After leaving the mountain, they will still be disciples of the Dacheng Mountain." Liu Hongchang shook his head and said, "They will be assigned to some small cities to be City Lords. If anything happens, the Dacheng Mountain will also help. However, the Dacheng Mountain does not raise idle people. If one cannot become a level three Heavenly Master, it will be considered a waste of resources. "
Upon hearing this, Lu An suddenly realized that the Dacheng Mountain had such a rule. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed reasonable. Otherwise, how many people would there be on the Dacheng Mountain?
"These two people, one is 37 years old and the other is 38 years old. Both of them are almost 40 years old, but they have not even reached the peak of level two." Liu Hongchang looked at the two people who had already started fighting in the field and sighed. "It seems that they are destined to leave the mountain."
"…"
Lu An was stunned because he realized that the surrounding disciples who heard Liu Hongchang's voice were frowning. The atmosphere suddenly became much gloomier.
Sensing this atmosphere, Lu An was a little puzzled. He asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Liu Hongchang glanced at Lu An. His eyes were filled with depression and helplessness like the others. He said in a low voice, "Because their present is the future of almost all the disciples. Not many people here can become level three Heavenly Masters. "
