The Legend of the Netherworld

After a day of watching the game, everyone had a certain understanding of the strength of the next opponent.

At this time, the headmaster solemnly said, "Today's battles are all over. All disciples must make a summary after returning. This will greatly improve themselves. Those who enter the next round will continue tomorrow."

After saying this, the Sect Leader turned to the elders and asked softly, "Are you satisfied with the first few battles?

Although the strongest disciples from each sect were arranged to fight against each other from the beginning, and three senior disciples did lose the "Qi Li Guan Ding" reward, the combat experience gained from this all-out, high-intensity battle is incomparable to "Qi Li Guan Ding".

The Xuanzhen Elder of the Xuanzhen Pavilion beamed with joy as he said, "This is a brilliant arrangement. My disciple, Wang Yuxin, recently received a great opportunity and believes she's already incredibly powerful. This battle is a perfect opportunity to dampen her spirit. If she can handle this defeat well, her future growth will undoubtedly soar. This is also my way of giving an explanation to the old master."

The other five elders also nodded, saying that the arrangement was very reasonable. In fact, they had long wanted to dampen the enthusiasm of the senior disciples, but they didn't want to be the bad guys themselves. Now that the sect leader volunteered to be the bad guy, how could the other elders not be reluctant? It could be said that they were using the sect leader's hand to dampen the disciples' enthusiasm.

After the Sect Leader finished talking with several elders, he jumped and flew out from the elders' stand and flew towards his own hall. The other elders followed the Sect Leader's footsteps and returned to their own sects, leaving only Elder Xuan Zhen behind.

Elder Xuan Zhen came to the front of the stands, expressionless on his face. He formed seals with his hands and cast a spell. The three arenas emitted a dazzling white light, and then merged into a large arena. The white light then dimmed, shrank back to its original size, and returned to Elder Xuan Zhen's hands. The elder put it back into his Taoist robe, took a light step, stood up, and flew to his own sect.

The moment the arena disappeared, all the disciples suddenly landed on the original open space and then walked back to their own sects.

"See you tomorrow," Senior Brother Lin Qing said lightly, then turned and left.

"See you tomorrow," Liu Yi said goodbye to everyone, then hurriedly caught up with Senior Brother Lin Qing and shouted, "Senior Brother, wait for me!"

"Then we two will retreat first. See you tomorrow." Wang Hao and Yuan Hong also said goodbye to Lin Xiao and Lin Jiao.

Only Lin Jiao and Lin Xiao were left at the scene. Lin Jiao calmly asked, "I'm going back to visit Senior Brother Ye Xuan. Are you planning to go to the Sutra Pagoda or the back mountain?"

"I'll go with you to see Senior Brother Ye Xuan, and then we'll study the map together," Lin Xiao replied.

The two discussed the details of the map along the way. Lin Xiao told Lin Jiao the origin of the map. During the conversation, the two came to Senior Brother Ye Xuan's Zen temple.

At this time, the headmaster just came out of the Zen temple. Seeing the two people coming, he was very pleased in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said softly: "You two can go back. Brother Ye Xuan has gained a lot from the battle and is now in seclusion for training."

After hearing this, the two were inevitably shocked. Lin Xiao thought to himself, "It seems that this battle has dealt a heavy blow to Ye Xuan. But it's no wonder that Senior Brother Ye Xuan was the top disciple of the previous class and immediately adjusted himself and went into seclusion."

So the two had to leave Ye Xuan's Zen temple and came to the small pavilion in Lin Jiao's Zen temple.

The map was spread out on the stone table, and the two of them carefully looked through the details.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao had a flash of inspiration and remembered the plot in "The Deer and the Cauldron". The dagger in his hand immediately appeared. He tried to split the map into two, guessing that there would be fragments hidden in the middle of the map, but found that the map had only one layer and no middle layer.

Lin Jiao formed seals with her hands and cast a spell, and ice appeared, trying to use the low temperature to reveal the secret of the map, but there was no response.

The two tried all the strange ideas in their minds, but none of them could be cracked.

Night has come, the moonlight hangs quietly in the sky, and dark clouds fly by from time to time, as if covering the moon with a thin veil.

Seeing that there was no progress, Lin Xiao slowly said, "Let's leave it at that for today and continue studying it tomorrow. I plan to go back to the Sutra Repository as I still have some secret techniques that I haven't mastered." There was reluctance and helplessness in his tone.

Lin Jiao held the map in her hand, her eyes fixed on it. She nodded and said softly, "Go, I'll study it myself." She didn't pay any attention to Lin Xiao's departure.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Xiao arrived at the bottom of the Sutra Pagoda. Although the tower door was closed, the window on the sixth floor was open. Lin Xiao smiled slightly and jumped to the sixth floor. The sweeping monk's eyes were still immersed in the sea of ​​books and he didn't care about Lin Xiao's arrival.

Lin Xiao walked straight into the gate, sat cross-legged in it, closed his eyes and chanted the mantra of "Illusionary Body Skills·Imitation of Phantom Moves", and the word "appear" that followed gradually echoed on the sixth floor.

Late at night, a figure came to the top of the Sutra Pagoda. The sweeping monk immediately stopped reading, his pupils shrank slightly, his eyes focused, he stood up, left the pile of books, and came to the top of the pagoda to meet the visitor.

The person who came was the Sect Master. Seeing the Sweeping Monk's arrival, the Sect Master smiled and said with satisfaction, "It seems that Lin Xiao has broken the barrier. But, just to win the bet, you actually taught Lin Xiao the advanced swordsmanship?"

The Sweeping Monk's expression remained calm as he said indifferently, "I didn't teach him. I just reminded him. Even if I didn't remind him, he would have learned those advanced sword techniques sooner or later."

"If you don't guide him, he won't be able to learn those advanced sword techniques until at least the end of this martial arts competition. Now you have accelerated this process." The headmaster replied immediately, his tone full of blame and anger.

"You didn't say that you can't give any hints, and I didn't teach him anything. It's all his own understanding," the Sweeping Monk said calmly.

The head of the sect was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could do nothing about the person in front of him. The two of them were talking to each other on the top of the tower, while Lin Xiao below the tower was still casting spells, and the word "appear" remained non-stop, and he was completely unaware of the two people on the top of the tower.

Lin Xiao was so tired that he fell asleep on the floor. Suddenly, a secret technique hit him. The secret technique hit Lin Xiao and fell heavily on the floor. The dull sound instantly woke Lin Xiao up.

Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva, slowly raised his head, and whispered to himself: "Why did I fall asleep again." At this time, Lin Jiao's shouting came from outside the window, and Lin Xiao hurriedly got up and went downstairs.

"I practiced too late last night and fell asleep without realizing it," Lin Xiao said embarrassedly, facing Lin Jiao with a smile on his face.

"I knew you would miss today's match if I hadn't warned you, so I came here specifically to find you." Lin Jiao pulled Lin Xiao towards the gate, but her face was full of joy. "I got some ideas on how to crack the map last night."

"What!" Lin Xiao's face was filled with shock and excitement after hearing this.
