From Lou Xiaoyi's point of view, the Inner and Outer Swordsmanship Competition that was held once every fifty years was a tradition for the Inner Swordsman to teach the Outer Swordsman how to behave!
The Outer Swordsman brothers relied on their numbers and were a little dishonest. The Inner Swordsman brothers would find an excuse to beat them up.
For tens of thousands of years, the Outer Swordsman had been trampled, educated, and rubbed against without exception …
It was a very simple system of drawing lots to determine the winner. The External Sword Sect had never obtained the final victory! They had never entered the final round! They had never entered the top four … The best result was that they had entered the top eight a few times. This was their threshold and they could not advance any further.
This was a grand festival in Xuanyuan because the battle was open to all Swordsman, regardless of their level … The goal of the Xuanyuan higher-ups was very clear. They wanted the disciples to see what a real battle was and what real swordsmanship was. Through this, they could obviously improve themselves.
They could always learn something from it and comprehend something from it. It was a great guide to the perfection of their swordsmanship system. This was something that masters could not teach and could not be found in books.
Because there were very few people, only forty Inner Swordsman and twenty-one Outer Swordsman, there were not many battles. After the first round, there were only thirty left. In the second round, there were fifteen. In the third round, there were eight … The winner would be decided in the sixth round!
Short time meant high intensity and competition. Compared to the Outer Swordsman's own small competition, they wanted to drag it out for a year and a half. In the end, they were too lazy to even watch it when it was time to fight for the championship …
"Is it completely random?" Lou Xiaoyi asked.
Gu Ming nodded, "Yes! But there are seeds. We can't let the strong ones at the top of the ranking meet in the first round … Under the fight of the Sword Qi Rushing Heaven Pavilion, the top ten Inner Swordsman and you are the strongest seeds!
The top one hundred are the second strongest seeds. Yes, they are all Inner Swordsman!
The rest is random distribution …
Little Yi, the Rushing Heaven Pavilion did not give you any tasks in the past ten years, right? Since that's the case, you have to do your best this time. You can't let us Outer Swordsman be disgraced!
Can you make it to the top four? "
Lou Xiaoyi was speechless. "External swordsman hasn't been able to do this for tens of thousands of years, and you're just going to put the burden on your disciple's shoulders?"
After ten years, Gu Ming had some understanding of this strange disciple, so he didn't waste any words.
"Top four! The outer storehouse of Thousand Virtues Peak includes all the materials and sword embryos in the official workshop. As long as you like it, you can take it! I don't want a single spirit stone from you! "
Lou Xiaoyi thought for a while and asked cautiously, "What if I'm first?"
Gu Ming smiled slyly. He had been waiting for this sentence. "Firstly, Qianxiu Peak's treasury will be open to you. You can take whatever you want! You should know that only Jin Dan and even Yuanying are qualified to use the sword embryo and materials there … "
Lou Xiaoyi could not help but be tempted by such a huge temptation! He also knew that he could no longer keep a low profile. He would use this internal and external sword battle as the starting point for his rise!
He was qualified to be the strongest seed, although his qualifications were a little forced.
Ten years ago, when the fifth ring Foundation Establishment Ranking had placed him at eleventh place, it had been three times since then. However, his eleventh place had not budged at all!
The matter was obvious. The person who made the ranking firmly believed that he had top-notch strength. As long as he performed a little, he would be able to enter the top ten! Therefore, his eleventh place was unshakable!
This was a kind of appreciation. He was very curious. What was the reason why the person who made the ranking thought so highly of him?
"Martial Uncle, who is the person who made this ranking? What kind of power did it? Has there never been a deviation before? "
Gu Ming smiled. "Of course there have been deviations. However, the so-called ranking is a place where the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. Young people strive to catch up, and the younger generation surpasses the older generation. Isn't that normal?
Within the top ten ranks, it doesn't mean that those who are ranked at the top will be able to defeat those behind them! What they lack is an opportunity to perform, a moment of glory!
This is why the ranking is divided into several levels. The top ten, the top thirty, and the top one hundred. The general gap in strength is still accurate. No one doubts it!
Except for you! "
Lou Xiaoyi ignored his attack. "I remember that there are two inner swordsmen who are ranked in the top ten …"
Gu Ming's face was full of helplessness. "Your information is outdated! One of them has already been promoted to Jin Dan! Moreover, he entered the Jin Dan ranking in the third year after he was promoted to Jin Dan. Such a person, sigh … "
Lou Xiaoyi wanted to get to the bottom of this, because this concerned his opponent. "Which one?"
Gu Ming looked at this disciple who was theoretically the strongest in the outer sword. He knew what this kid meant. He was asking who his opponent would be in the end!
Did he really want to fight for first place? Although it was a little arrogant, it was normal for a Swordsman. However, the rule in Qiong Ding was that the inner swordsmen would always fight for first place, while the outer swordsmen would always fight for second place …
"It's Glorious Light!"
Lou Xiaoyi understood.
He did not care about the ranking, but even if he did not care, there were countless people around him who talked about it every day. Especially his senior sister, he knew a lot from her nagging.
There were two strongest inner swordsmen in Xuanyuan. Glorious Light was ranked second, and Bright Light was ranked ninth. He was the leader of the entire Xuanyuan Foundation Establishment group. He was the real eldest senior brother, not only in the inner sword, but also in the outer sword. He was not like Lou Xiaoyi, who had closed the door to the outer sword.
Gu Ming continued, "It's not just him. In fact, among the people who have always been in the top ten of the Foundation Establishment ranking, a total of four have been promoted to Jin Dan, including the top three and the other one. Therefore, this year's top ten has changed a lot. Everyone says that this year's batch is slightly weaker than before!
However, this has nothing to do with you. You just need to focus on your own cultivation and get a good result in the inner and outer sword battles to bring glory to our outer sword. After that, you still have ten years to sharpen yourself!
I see that you've already reached the peak of the middle stage, and you're only a step away from the late stage. Compared to the time you took to enter the sect, this kind of progress can't be considered amazing, but it's still considered very fast. "
Lou Xiaoyi was somewhat curious. "What's the fastest time to reach the late stage?"
Gu Ming glanced at him. "As elders, we usually don't talk about these things because it'll affect a lot of people. In fact, how fast one's cultivation grows after the Foundation Establishment stage doesn't determine whether a cultivator has a chance to form their Gold Core or not. Of course, there are definitely more chances.
However, for you, it doesn't matter if you know about these things. They shouldn't create obstacles for your temperament. You need to set a goal for yourself!
Let's not talk about history. There are too many coincidences. There are those who entered the Jin Dan before they entered the Foundation Establishment stage, and then they exploded and died …
Let's just talk about now. Glorious Light reached the late stage thirty years after the Foundation Establishment stage! Bright Light took forty years, which is your current time. Therefore, you see, in fact, compared to them, your speed is very ordinary. "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. A genius was a genius. In fact, other than his unique ability to produce the sword spirit of a flying sword, he was really very ordinary in other aspects.
This was what he thought, but in reality, there were many things that he couldn't see from his position. It was like darkness under the light.
For example, the talent to kill!
To him, this was a very normal choice, but it was a realm that others couldn't reach in their lifetime. To a Swordsman, was there anything more important than this?
