Stars fall and locust trees grow

At three quarters past noon the next day, the Songfeng Martial Arts Arena was bustling with people.

Gu Chuanlin and the elders of the 29th Mountain sat in the chief seats, while Gu Huaiyi, Liu Jing, Zeng Muhan, Li Chi and Wei Li sat in the audience seats with the disciples of the 29th Mountain.

Jia Luren was still accompanying him.

In addition to Elder Shang Ming, there are two other middle-aged rough men with similar looks and unshaven beards in the 29th Yue.

According to Jia Luren, these two are brothers, one is called Hu Tian and the other is called Hu Di. The elder Hu Tian is the elder of Huan Heng Peak, responsible for the disciples who practice talismans, while the younger Hu Di is the elder of Wei Hua Peak, responsible for the disciples who practice elixir.

As soon as Furukawa Lin took his seat on the viewing platform, he set off waves of enthusiasm among the many female disciples of the Twenty-Nine Yues.

"Ahhh~~ Is that the legendary Little Master Mingyuejian?"

"It is indeed graceful and elegant, with loose belts and light furs, which makes people dream about it..."

"Look at the pattern on his forehead! That is the only family pattern in the entire Spirit Realm!"

The female cultivators held their hands to their hearts, their eyes blurred: "The disciples in Mingyuejian are so lucky, they can see Master Gu's gorgeous face every day!"

"It would be great if I were also Ming Yuejian's disciple..."

Our 29th Mountain is not bad, okay? Elder Shang Ming blew his beard and glared.

At this moment, a male voice suddenly shouted: "Master Gu... absolutely beautiful!!!"

The whole audience was silent for a moment.

Gu Chuanlin frowned slightly.

Hahaha... Elder Shang Ming was speechless and choked with embarrassment, digging his toes into the ground. He wished he could pull this male disciple out on the spot and rub him on the ground.

Fortunately, a female voice successfully rescued him from the awkward atmosphere.

"Eh? I think their chief disciple Zeng Muhan is not bad either! He looks very serious."

Swish swish!

In an instant, countless eyes were directed towards the location where Mingyuejian and the others were.

Zeng Muhan's handsome face turned red when he was suddenly called out. He felt as if a thorn was on his back. The fiery gazes of the female cultivators seemed to burn through him. He quickly chose to strategically lower his head, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

As long as I pretend nothing happened, embarrassment can't catch up with me...

Seeing this, Li Chi turned around, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey! Look at me too! I'm also very good-looking!"

Then he pointed at Wei Li.

"If you don't like it, we have this extra-large version in Mingyuejian. Does anyone want it?"

The female cultivators were stunned for a moment, then rolled their eyes.

Who is this person?

How come there is such a shameless disciple in Mingyuejian?

Elder Shang Ming laughed awkwardly and said: "What a group of cute and lively children..."

After a while, a female cultivator suddenly said indignantly: "Why are the elders of our branch either old men or rough men?"

The blue veins on Elder Shang Ming's forehead twitched a few times.

Considering that there was Gu Chuanlin beside him, in order to maintain the dignity of the elder, he could only cover his mouth and cough dryly.

You little bastards! Are you polite?

......

After some greetings, the competition officially began.

Jia Luren introduced to Li Chi and the others: "Only disciples who have reached the Xuan Gu realm can participate in the selection of inner disciples."

"There are nearly three hundred disciples participating in the competition, but only ten will be able to enter the inner gate in the end. The weapon cultivators account for the largest proportion, so the top six will be selected, and the top two will be selected from the pill cultivators and talisman cultivators. According to the schedule, the first few days will be the first to compete among the weapon cultivators, followed by the talisman cultivators, and the pill cultivators will be the last."

Among the three hundred disciples participating in the competition, the lowest level was the first level of Xuan Gu Realm, and the highest was the fifth level.

Shang Ming and other three elders had arranged for these disciples to be divided by lot according to different levels three days ago, so the competitions in the first few days were among the disciples of lower levels.

The crystal screen hanging high in the middle of the square displays the names and levels of each pair of players, as well as the real-time images of the scene.

The first match was between two male disciples who were both at the first level of Xuan Gu Realm: Wu Hao and Sun Yuning.

Disciples of the same level compete on their understanding and application of swordsmanship.

Li Chi had learned swordsmanship in Juyun Sect in his previous life. Although he was taken away for experiments after entering Xuan Gu Realm, he still had some insights into swordsmanship.

The sword technique of the Juyun Sect is called the Sixteen Steps of Shadow, and what they pursue in swordsmanship is speed.

The same is true of Erjiu Yue's swordsmanship.

Li Chi turned his head and whispered to Zeng Muhan: "Brother Zeng! I think the swordsmanship of these twenty-nine Yue should be mainly fast swordsmanship. You see, although these two are of low level, they swing their swords as fast as a whirlwind, worthy of being disciples of the first-level sect... By the way, I wonder what swordsmanship our Mingyuejian pursues?"

Zeng Muhan touched his chin upon hearing this, and said thoughtfully: "The sword techniques of each sect are different. Some sects tend to be fast, some tend to be strong, some tend to be brave, some tend to be clever, and some tend to be defensive... The fast ones are naturally invincible, the strong ones can defeat ten skills with one force, the brave ones are unstoppable and move forward, the clever ones take advantage of opportunities and respond, the defensive ones are indestructible, and as for us in Mingyuejian..."

Zeng Muhan paused, "According to Master's meaning, man is the sword, and the sword is the man. When man and sword become one, they are invincible."

Li Chi: “…”

The old master has some sense of humor.

In addition to the humor, there may be some serious illness.

"So, Senior Brother Zeng, have you achieved the unity of man and sword?"

Zeng Muhan shook his head, "My Wuwei and I are still in the process of getting used to each other."

"Brother Zeng's sword is called Wuwei?"

"Yes. Wuwei was given by my master. When my master gave me the sword, he said, 'The great way is simple. If you have no desires, you will be strong. If you do nothing, you can do everything.' When I can understand the principle of governing by doing nothing, that will be the time when I can achieve unity between man and sword with Wuwei."

Li Chi suddenly became interested, thinking of something, and rubbed his hands, "By the way, Senior Brother Zeng, when there is a chance, take out your Wuwei and let me touch it."

Liu Jing, who was on Zeng Muhan's other side, also poked his head in and came over to whisper, "I want to touch it, too! I want to touch it, too!"

Wei Li turned his face away and said, "Then...can I touch it too?"

Gu Huaiyi snorted coldly, "The magical instruments of weapon cultivators are all spiritual. How can anyone touch them casually? Do you think you are fishing in water? Idiot!"

Li Chi stretched his neck and said, "What? Jian is your wife! You are not allowed to touch her! Besides, we want to touch Senior Brother Zeng's wife, not yours!"

Zeng Muhan held his forehead helplessly: How could they quarrel with two people in between?

He stretched out his arms, grabbed the necks of the two men, and then twisted their heads in different directions.

None of these junior brothers are worry-free.

Mingyuejian's chief disciple was exhausted.
