Farewell to Chu Xiang, even though the night was deep, Fu Jingtao was not sleepy at all. He opened the window and looked out at the thick ink-like night. Thinking of the seven aristocratic families blocking the way in front of him, it would be wrong to say that he didn't have any worries at all.

possible.

The aristocratic families have been passed down for hundreds of years, and there is no doubt about the profound heritage. Outside of the Sutra Pavilion, each aristocratic family has a large number of secret books, and all have their own secret techniques and skills. However, the disciples of the poor families know nothing about the secrets passed down by the aristocratic families.

As you know, you are naturally at a disadvantage.

The time, place, and people are favorable, and he has no advantage.

If he is satisfied with being promoted to the inner sect, it probably won't be too difficult. But if he wants to compete for the top spot in the competition, he will definitely be blocked by the family. But all of this will happen reasonably and within the permission of the rules.

This is an outright conspiracy. You know what you will encounter, but you can't avoid it.

As Chu Xiang said, every martial arts competition will be a tough battle, so don't take chances. Only by relying on strength to go through it can you hope to reach the highest peak and enter the Martial Saint Hall.

The wise men of the aristocratic family will definitely rack their brains and make arrangements in advance, and will never allow their children to be defeated. Even if he can win the first game, he will be specifically restrained in the second game. After all, the masters of the aristocratic family have great experience.

With his broad knowledge, it is easy to find the loopholes and flaws in his martial arts. If you focus on the final battle, you cannot expose your trump card too early.

Eighteen kinds of weapons came to mind one by one: knives, spears, swords, boring machines, sticks, forks, rakes, whips, maces, hammers, axes, hooks, sickles, picks, crutches, bows and arrows, shields, each with its own characteristics.

Unique techniques can defeat the enemy, with endless variations. Thanks to his previous accumulation, he has mastered most of the eighteen weapons.

Fu Jingtao secretly made up his mind that since he wanted to play, he would play big!

So starting from the next day, he changed to practicing weapon techniques in the morning and evening when no one was around. In the morning, he mainly trained his muscles and bones, improved his strength, and consolidated basic martial arts skills. In the afternoon, he discussed and discussed with Su Jing, Huang Yunpeng, etc., and no longer showed off his skills easily. He also

Quietly inform Su Jing, Huang Yunpeng, Qin Ying, Luo Zhengyang and others of the family's wishful thinking, and ask them to prepare a response strategy in advance so as not to catch others by surprise.

Time has come to March in a blink of an eye.

Xuanyuanmen's three expedition troops returned to the mountain one after another, their clothes stained with blood and their achievements were outstanding. Dozens and hundreds of human heads were brought to the Cheng family to be sacrificed to comfort Cheng Tong's spirit in heaven.

This attack shocked the world and stirred up turbulent waves.

On Tongbai Mountain, eighteen strongholds were breached, leveled, and burned, and hundreds of giant bandits who had been rampant for a long time were killed; the head of the Wen family in Lingnan and many masters of the clan were killed, and the leader of the Kongtong sect committed suicide; and Jiang

Lie leveled the Zombie Gate's mountain gate with his sword, and then rampaged across Dali for several days, killing dozens of gangsters and evil masters, and Xiaoxiao disappeared wherever he passed.

As heads rolled to the ground, Xuanyuanmen's prestige suddenly rose, and everyone was frightened.

As soon as Jiang Lie returned to the sect, he personally presided over Cheng Tong's funeral regardless of the time and effort, and laid him to rest. All Xuanyuan disciples and disciples from the aristocratic family went to the Cheng family in batches to express their condolences. There was an endless flow of people, which lasted for several days.

During the funeral, the whole city was covered in snow, with endless joy and sorrow, and the whole world was saddened.

Fu Jingtao and other named disciples also went to the Cheng family to express their condolences. When the young men who had been taught by Cheng Tong entered the mourning hall and saw the portrait hanging high, they all felt sad and burst into tears. Plop, plop! All the young men knelt down and kowtowed to the elder.

They paid their last respects. More than a hundred people kowtowed together. The scene was so spectacular that the Cheng family members couldn't help but be moved. The Cheng brothers and sisters knelt down and bowed in return.

After leaving the Cheng family gate, I happened to see Chu Xiang and his entourage coming to pay their respects.

Due to the large number of people talking, Chu Xiang did not chat with Fu Jingtao for a few words, but handed him a letter and said goodbye in a hurry. Fu Jingtao took out the letter and browsed it, and it turned out that it was written by Lu Hong himself, saying that he had passed the letter.

After taking the exam, he entered the Alchemy Pavilion and became the lowest apprentice. He could not move around for the time being. At the end of the letter, he wished the brothers a successful start and smooth promotion. Fu Jingtao was overjoyed and told Huang Yunpeng, Su Jing and Yang Yufei the good news, which finally diluted it a bit.

Very sad.

After the funeral, the inner sect competition was immediately put on the agenda. At the same time, preparations for the ceremony were also in full swing. This was a demonstration of Xuanyuan Sect's strength in front of the world's heroes, and it could not be overemphasized. Especially the Song Dynasty court.

Envoys will also be sent to the scene, which may affect the future destiny of Xuanyuan Sect. In fact, the opinion of leaning towards Zhao Song and returning to the Central Plains has gained the upper hand. All the major families have secretly sent capable officers to go to Tokyo to find out the truth.

Contact local powerful people and take precautions.

There was a lot of construction work on Lingyun Peak, people were coming and going in Lingyun City, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Almost everyone was walking in a hurry, for fear of being punished for making mistakes.

The mood of the young people also became tense. Everyone knew that the competition period was imminent and the final test was about to come! Every young boy has a dream of becoming famous in the world, and the ceremony that only happens once in decades,

It is the best stage to express yourself.

Jiang Lie acted vigorously and resolutely, and soon issued the Xuanyuan Order:

On the tenth day of March, the inner sect competition officially begins until the top thirty-two are selected. On the eighteenth day of March, the thirty-two selected disciples will compete openly on Lingyun Peak and receive reviews and comments from the heroes of the world.

All disciples whose cultivation is above the third level of perfection are granted the status of inner disciples.

Those who cannot reach the perfection level must be among the top thirty-two before they can enter the inner sect.

Jiang Lie made the decision on the eighth day of March, leaving only one day for the disciples to buffer. Once the decision was announced, it was like throwing a huge stone into the lake, triggering heated discussions among the disciples, and they were all gearing up, not to be outdone.

There are a total of 267 disciples from humble families and 85 disciples from noble families participating in the Lingyun Competition this time, for a total of 352 people. To enter the top 32, the younger ones will have to fight four times, and the older ones will have to fight hard.

To fight for five games, the opponent's strength will become stronger and stronger, and there is no possibility of getting through by chance.

According to Jiang Lie's instructions, the Qiankun Hall shuffled the names of all disciples from humble and aristocratic families and then drew lots for a duel.

On the morning of March 9th, the list of duels was announced to the public and posted on the wall on the side of the martial arts field. Qiankun Hall also sent people to divide the field with white paint and red ropes, dividing the martial arts field into ten simple stages, which were marked on the ground.

The names of heavenly stems such as A, B, Bing and Ding.

The disciples no longer had the intention to practice, and they gathered around to watch the list, looking for their names, matches, and opponents. Their expressions were either happy or sad, and they were whispering to each other.

As Fu Jingtao expected, his first opponent was Hu Sheng, who came from a wealthy family.

Hu Sheng's name is unknown and does not belong to the direct lineage of the Hu family. Compared with the famous Hu Zhifeng and Hu Feng, he is small and dim and no one pays attention to it. If it were anyone else, most of them would be happy that they had drawn a good lottery, and promotion would be easy. But

Fu Jingtao knew very well that Hu Sheng, as the first candidate promoted by the family, must have a strong talent in close combat and profound skills, capable of suppressing him in all aspects.

The aristocratic family sent out the family elites they had secretly cultivated in the first game, and one can imagine their fear.
