The elimination mechanism of the Fluct Test is very cruel: in each round, each team has only one chance. If they win, they will enter the next round. If they lose, they will be completely eliminated.A total of 32 teams are eligible to participate in the competition, and the two teams are randomly matched as opponents for a battle.

The location is in the martial arts field.Although there are many venues on this island, the number of high-level and high-quality referees in the academy is limited, so it is impossible for 32 teams to start the game at the same time. Only four groups and eight teams enter the arena each time.

Ah Qi and his team are called "It's so tiring to be a human being", which seems out of place among the team names extracted from poems and songs.As for who took the name, Ruan Xun and Yuan Xiaohan didn't bother to find out.

"It's so tiring to be a human being" team received number ten, and the third group played.

Ruan Xun was coaching Liu Yetai, but he didn't go to the academy to sit on the viewing seat assigned to Liu Yetai. He sat in the flying magic weapon, high above the clouds, and could overlook everything in the martial arts training ground with his eyes down.Yuan Xiaohan also didn't go to watch the match, this person stood three feet behind Ruan Xun, watching his eyes, nose, nose and heart, pretending that he was a decoration.

"Ruan Xiaolu, you know that when a person completely ignores the outside world, he doesn't care whether there are people around him. Because there are people or no one, more or less people, for such a person, it doesn't make any difference."

"Ruan Xiaolu, if you don't care about me at all, you'll just treat me like a rock and won't try to throw me out."

"It can be deduced from this, Ruan Xiaolu, you care about me very much, you really care about me."

A quarter of an hour ago, Yuan Xiaohan said this to Ruan Xun when he was faced with the "roll" word courtesy that was exclusive to him.

At that time, Yuan Xiaohan had a triumphant smile on his face, but after a while, Ruan Xun said: "I do care about you a little bit."

Yuan Xiaohan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Your bones are good for sharpening knives, and flesh and spiritual power can nourish the blade." Ruan Xun then drew out his two knives.The sharp light refracted by the blade in the sun was dazzling.

Yuan Xiaohan touched his nose, said "I was wrong" three times, and quickly took three steps back, pinching himself an invisibility formula, pretending to have disappeared.It wasn't until Ruan Xun retracted the knife and focused on the game that he carefully released the stealth.

Among the viewing seats belonging to Liuyetai, the students did not lose their enthusiasm because the two coaches were not present.Most of Liuyetai's students are children of aristocratic families, rich and powerful, and cheering and cheering have been turned into fighting for wealth.

One inch and one gold cloud brocade is woven into colorful flags, which are waving back and forth in the air under the blessing of magic weapons. Some of them are printed with the name of the team "It's so tiring to be a human being", and some are the names of the four people. The puppets beat gongs and drums, sang and danced in the front row of the auditorium, and their movements were glittering and eye-catching.

Compared with the cheering items of the other two veins, they immediately became a foil.

When the third batch of participating teams entered the stage and the four of Ah Qi and the others appeared on the stage, fireworks exploded in the sky.Coincidentally, Ruan Li's flying magic weapon happened to be in the heart of a certain flower.

Immediately afterwards, enthusiastic shouts broke out from the auditorium: "Coach Yuan, Coach Ruan! Look this way! We are here!"

Ruan Xun: "..."

He turned his head to look at Yuan Xiaohan, and asked expressionlessly: "What have you taught them these days?"

When Yuan Xiaohan saw that Ruan Xun took the initiative to talk to him, he immediately came over, sat beside him, shoulder to shoulder with him, and said seriously: "These noble dudes are not good at all, and they are not suitable for wielding guns and knives, so I teach you I learned their self-defense skills such as concealment, tracking, and lightness."

As he spoke, he nodded appreciatively: "Look, they're quite clever in applying what they've learned."

Ruan Xun turned his head back and turned his gaze back to the ring.

Ah Qi and the others were lucky. The first team they encountered was Wu, a team they defeated without any effort.

These two teams, one side adhered to the concept of defeating the opponent at a faster speed, and the other side held the attitude of bloodbath. As soon as the fences on both sides of the ring were opened, they fought in one place.

In almost a moment of effort, "Tea and wine are not allowed" lost one person, and their morale was cut. "Being a man is so tiring" chased after the victory, and within ten moves, the winner was determined.

When the referee announced the result, Ah Qi and Zhong Ling walked to the edge of the ring, waved and blew kisses to the spectator seats surrounding the training ground.

The corners of Ruan Xun's eyes twitched slightly: "You also taught this?"

"No...they are self-taught." Yuan Xiaohan tapped his head with his jade flute, looking like he had a headache.

Ruan Xun didn't believe it, and distanced himself from this person.

The first round of knockout rounds lasted for two hours in total, starting at the middle of Maoshi and ending at the end of Sishi, and the start of the next round was at Weishi.

The four members of the "Being Tired" team went back to Qiujiang to rest in August. Ruan Xun took advantage of Yuan Xiaohan's inattention, kicked them off the flying magic weapon, squeezed a concealment weapon and went to another place.

He faintly felt an unusual aura flowing in the Yaotai Realm, and even inexplicably felt that this aura was somewhat familiar.

Ruan Li stepped off the flying magic weapon and stepped on the ground, measured with his feet, all the way from east to west, and finally stopped at a remote bay.He found some kind of fierceness on a cliff that was cut off in the middle-but it was left a few days ago.

He frowned and explored carefully, pinched a Yufeng Jue, and returned to the August Sound of the Autumn River in the blink of an eye.

The four warriors who were marching towards victory, as well as Liu Yetai's new coach Jing Yunsheng set up a stage in the yard, and they were busy making a fire and barbecue in an orderly manner. Seeing Ruan Xun, they hurriedly called him over.

"Ah, are you attracted by the aroma of barbecue? Come on, do you want coriander beef or spicy beef?" Xie Tianming laughed loudly, holding a skewer in one hand, intending to pass it to Ruan Shang.

Ruan Xun walked over, but didn't pick it up. Instead, he slipped out Ahqiti, who kept putting meat on his plate.

"Master, do you think you want to snatch the food?" Ah Qi nervously guarded the plate and yelled in panic.

Ruan Xun glanced at him, carried him all the way to the bay just now, and made him face the cliff.

The cliff wall is black, cut off from the middle, the cut surface is smooth and tidy, the arc is slightly inclined, and there is no trace of weathering. It is obviously new.Also because of this, the bald half fell down and collapsed into ruins.

"How?" Ruan Xun asked after a while.

Ah Qi wrinkled her nose: "This place is called Rotten Stone Sea. The scenery is not good, and the aura is not abundant, so few people come here..."

Ruan Xun interrupted Ah Qi's nonsense, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me something that can't be seen with the naked eye."

"The smell left on the cliff is very similar to the sacred artifact owned by the Ruan family." Ah Qi cautiously cast a sound-stopping technique, lowering his voice, "The stone that Jing Yunsheng cut off from the hilt of the sword is in my hands. , I can make a comparison."

Speaking, Ah Qi stuffed the plate in his hand to Ruan Xun, and his consciousness sank into the storage collar, but he searched here and there for a long time, but to no avail.

something missing?how come?

Ah Qi frowned, withdrew his consciousness, and probed again after a few breaths, but the result was the same.

He rummaged anxiously for a while, and finally had to accept this fact.

"The stone is gone." With a bitter face, Ah Qi raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, very puzzled, "I clearly put it in, but I never took it out halfway, and the collar didn't have a hole, how could it disappear?"

"Who has been near you during this time?" Ruan Xun asked.

Ah Qi shook his head as soon as he heard it: "Too many, these days, I fight close combat with people all day long."

Ruan Shui thought in silence, and Ah Qi didn't speak, only the sound of waves echoed in the bay.

As Ah Qi said before, the scenery here is really not good, the coastline is like a dog gnawing, the reefs are half-hidden in the sea, and the vegetation is sparse and bald. Few students come here, and people are almost extinct.

After about half a stick of incense, Ah Qi said while pacing: "The sacred artifacts of the Four Holy Families can only be used by their clansmen, and ordinary people stealing them is tantamount to playing with fire. In this way, taking them away Could it be...Miss Ruan?"

Ruan Xun didn't think so, he said: "Ruan Qiuhe was only 17 years old, and he has cultivated the state of mind of the piano. He belongs to the best of the new generation of the Ruan family and is the key cultivation target of the Ruan family. That’s right, there’s no point in stealing from you.”

Ah Qi's eyes were even more puzzled: "But there are no other Ruan family members in Yaotai... Of course, those lurking in the dark are not counted, could it be that they pretended to be students to compete with me, and took the opportunity to steal away?

I think the possibility is not high, how would they know that the stone is with me?

Besides, they don't want us to get that stone, which is easy to understand, but why use that force to split the cliff? "

The latter is also a question that Ruan Shang has been thinking about.

After a long time, Ruan Xun said calmly: "Forget it, it's not easy to stand in the open and look for people hiding in the dark. It's better to wait calmly and let them lose patience and show up on their own."

"Master is right." Ah Qi nodded.

Ruan Xun told him: "There are still four rounds left in the Yaoguang test. Be careful in the next test."

"I will." Ah Qi said, and then asked: "Do you want to tell other people about this?"

"No need." Ruan Xun replied.

"Okay, let's not startle the snake." Ah Qi said in a deep voice.

Ah Qi started pacing again, this was his habit of thinking.Ruan Xun handed him the plate and said to him, "Go back."

"What about you, master? Are you sure you don't want to eat barbecue? It's delicious, and you will feel a sense of happiness after eating it." Ah Qi raised his head and looked into Ruan Xun's eyes, and seriously extended the invitation.

Ruan Xun: "Too troublesome."

Ah Qi continued to persuade him: "Brother Xiaoming dug out the wine under the plum blossom tree, drink one jar today, and drink the other at the celebration banquet tomorrow. The wine that has been aged for a hundred years has a very mellow taste."

"You guys drink." Ruan Xun said firmly.

"Master——" Ah Qi immediately put the dinner plate back into the storage collar, turned into a giant snow-white dog, wagging its tail and circled around Ruan Xun's feet, "Look, master, the more we get carried away with victory, the more the enemy will feel If there is an opportunity, maybe the Ruan family is waiting for us to get drunk! This is an opportunity."

"Change back, don't act like a baby." Ruan Xun was quite speechless, glared at him, and said coldly.

"It's so difficult to be a human being, and it's also very difficult to be a dog." Ah Qi hid her face with her paws, and pretended to cry twice. When Clinker raised her head again, Ruan Xun was no longer in front of her.

It scraped its paws on the beach, and returned to the sound of August in the autumn river lonely.

As soon as the time came, the second round of the competition began, and there were only sixteen teams left that still qualified for the competition, and after this round ended, it would be halved again.

The colorful flags flying by the rich and powerful Liu Yetai are different from those in the morning. What is flying in the air at this moment is the changing colors of Liuyun satin.The cost of this item is hard to find even an inch when it is in short supply.

The "Being Tired" team came on stage, and the fireworks that exploded into the sky were even worse than in the morning.

This time, Ruan Xun was not present.

In the second round, the arena was reduced from four to two, and the two matches were played simultaneously, and nothing dangerous happened during the whole process.Even though the warring parties played heartily, the players all went as far as they could, without any injuries.

The "Being Tired" team successfully advanced and reached the quarterfinals.

The third round will be held in the evening, eight to four, and the competition is fierce.

During the rest period between the two rounds of competition, the rich and rich dudes of Xingmai surrounded Ah Qi and the others to the waiting area, and many of them brought condolence gifts to reward the four of them for their hard work this day.

Ah Qi waved his hand to refuse, and said indifferently: "It's just three competitions, it's nothing. A few days ago, we had to fight dozens of games every day."

The rest of the people also nodded in this attitude.

Wealthy dudes are thinking about the future, and now the players' wishes are the most important thing, so they don't force it.

The four walked into the waiting area.

In order to prevent cheating, only contestants are allowed to enter here, and others are stopped at the door.Here, each team has an independent lounge, and the land master himself puts up an enchantment, which can isolate everything and prevent people from sneaking around and listening to the other teams discussing tactics.

As soon as Ah Qi entered the rest room, he lay down like a dog and howled lowly, wagging his tail: "It's really tiring to be human... Although the number of fights between us has decreased compared to the previous few days, the pressure is even greater. If there is a If you don't fight well, all your previous efforts will be wasted..."

Xie Tianming raised his eyebrows: "But if you don't want to be a human being, what else can you do?"

Zhong Ling answered with a smile: "Be a pig, eat and sleep all day long..."

Xie Tianming interrupted him: "Then it was smoked into bacon during Chinese New Year."

Zhong Ling: "..."

Ruan Qiuhe was so teased that she let out a chuckle, she leaned back in the chair, and said slowly: "I think, make a flower or a grass, stay where it is, bask in the sun and rain, don't move, don't move. It’s good to be carefree.”

Zhong Ling tried to circulate the damage he received, and immediately answered: "Then he was uprooted by a passing doctor and smashed into medicine."

Ruan Qiuhe, the clinker, said: "That's great, at least it can help those who need help."

The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became gloomy.

Ah Qi shook his head, patted his paws and stood up, raised his voice, "Why are you so depressed all of a sudden? No, no, no, no, no, no, three more rounds, and you can call it a day and go home! Cheer up! Cheer me up!"

Not long after, the third round began.

Ruan Xun still didn't come, and the person hiding in the dark didn't show up either, but Ah Qi's heart was flustered, and he always felt that there were eyes staring at him.

Ah Qi entered the battle with a feeling of trepidation, because of his restlessness, the cooperation between the four of them went a little wrong.

The opponent is a combination of three spears and one bow. Long spears form an array, sweeping to open the way, and bows and arrows make a surprise attack in the rear. One bow shoots seven arrows in a row, like a dense rain.

This was one of the teams that had never been challenged on the training ground a few days ago.The two sides have never met face to face, but they know the details.This team knew that Zhong Ling was the weak point of the "Being Tired" team, so they disrupted the coordination of the four while grabbing the young man and attacking him.Ah Qi was accidentally knocked back three feet, disrupting his formation.

Seeing a feathered arrow shoot towards Zhong Ling who was entangled by the gunman, Xie Tianming bypassed the opponent in front of him, took the position where Ah Qi should have been, swung his long sword obliquely, and stabbed the person who trapped Zhong Ling with his sword. Flip into the air.Then he flew up, stepped over the spearman with one step, and dropped his sword suddenly.

The shooter was hit hard and fell out of the ring. With the bang of the landing, there was a crisp click. Obviously, this person had broken bones, not just one.The remaining three could no longer form an formation, their tactics were broken, they exchanged glances with each other, and gave up the competition.

In this battle, the "Being Tired" team won.

"Sorry, I was impatient and I lost my strength." Xie Tianming jumped off the ring, and saluted the shooter who was knocked to the ground by him.

The man was supported by his companions, pressed the wound and said in a deep voice: "A sword has no eyes, it's because it's not as good as a human being."

Several medical practitioners came from another place, Xie Tianming made way for them, said "acceptance", turned and left.

"It's all my fault." Ah Qi patted his cheek with his hand and said in a low voice on the way back to Qiujiang August Sound.

"Competing three times a day, in addition to martial arts and physical strength, is also a test of mental strength." Xie Tianming comforted him, "Don't pay too much attention to what has happened, relax, and go back to sleep."

Ah Qi nodded: "There are only two games left tomorrow, I will definitely not be distracted."

Everyone went to the sound of August on the autumn river, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

It was the night when the stars were shining brightly against the dim moonlight, accompanied by the non-stop sound of sea tide in Yaotai, Yuan Xiaohan found the figure of Ruan Xun in a bamboo forest.

The man just stood there, doing nothing.

"I remember that the night when Yue Bujie and Ruan Sie met for the first time, they were in a bamboo forest." Yuan Xiaohan stood three feet behind Ruan Sie, turning the jade flute every now and then, and said with a low smile, "Ruan Xiaoshang, Want me to play the flute for you?"

Ruan Xun asked instead: "In Jianghu, in the world, what kind of role does Mingjian Villa play?"

Yuan Xiaohan didn't expect this question, but he answered without delay: "A guardian who exists according to the will of the sky, we must come out of troubled times."

"How confident is the villa in dealing with the holy artifact?" Ruan Xun asked again.

"There are four sacred artifacts in the world, each of which is owned by the four holy families. It stands to reason that the sacred artifacts fell asleep hundreds of years ago. Your family... the one of the Ruan family is very strange, why was it suddenly awakened?" Yuan Xiaohan leaned on Xiuzhu, twirling the jade flute, and spoke slowly, but at the end of the sentence, his tone was tainted with confusion.

Ruan Xun said calmly: "You can find out the reason behind it yourself."

Yuan Xiaohan narrowed his eyes, then raised his eyebrows, with a look of relief: "In this way, you are very clear?"

Ruan Xun turned his head and glanced at Yuan Xiaohan lightly.The latter discovered just now that this person was not wearing a mask, half of his side face was outlined by the starlight filtered by the bamboo sea, and it was as white and clean as a piece of jade.

He suddenly felt: "Ruan Xiaolu, when and how long you wear the mask all depends on your mood?"

"Is this related to you?" Ruan Xun asked him back.

Yuan Xiaohan answered seriously: "That day in the bamboo forest, you wore a fake face; today in the bamboo forest, you took off the mask. It is the same bamboo forest, but the behavior is different, so I am curious, are you... "

This man is really noisy, what's the point of talking to him?Ruan Xun was not half interested in listening to what Yuan Xiaohan said, so he was about to leave.

Yuan Xiaohan let out a "hey" and quickly changed the topic, returning to Ruan Shui's question just now: "As far as I know, if the divine artifact is not born, only the sacred artifact can destroy the sacred artifact. The divine knife cold is in the open air in my villa, But if you don't help us take it out, the villa will only have a five-point chance of dealing with the holy artifact."

Ruan Xun stopped, lowered his eyes, pondered for a long time, and said lightly, "Got it."

Then take another step.

Yuan Xiaohan looked at his back and said, "You haven't seen anyone all day, where are you going to stay tonight? Tomorrow is the last two games, I'll take you to watch them? Also, if something happens, no matter what it is, You can discuss it with me."

As expected, Ruan Xun did not respond.

Yuan Xiaohan put his jade flute against his chin, pondered for a few breaths, and chased after him.

This night, for different people, time passed at different speeds.

Ruan Xun chose a quiet place to meditate, and Yuan Xiaohan stayed not far away, raising his eyes to look at the starry sky for a while, and gazing sideways at the people under the starlight.

I didn't realize this person was so good-looking before, Yuan Xiaohan pondered in his heart, after a while, he took out a mask that he had worn before, leaned in front of Ruan Xun, and put it on this person's face.

He felt that it would be better for Ruan Xun to put on the mask at such a time.

Ruan Xun suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"My mask matches yours better." Yuan Xiaohan said, with crooked smiling eyes, extremely serious and affectionate.But after finishing speaking, before this person pulled out the real cold knife, he returned to the position just now.

Ruan Xun cast a glance in Yuan Xiaohan's direction and lowered his eyes.

The fourth and fifth rounds of the flutter test are scheduled in the afternoon, with a half-hour break in between.In the fourth round, the remaining four teams will draw lots to determine their opponents, and the two games will be played simultaneously.

Ruan Shui sat in the spectator seat where the leader of the realm and the elders were, silently watching the ring.Yuan Xiaohan was on his left, and an unknown elder was sitting on his right, behind him was Dian Mucrow.The mask was naturally worn, but it was not the one that Yuan Xiaohan pressed on his face last night.

At the start of the competition, the person on the left pushed a plate of peeled crab roe and melon seeds, and soon after, a plate of diced fruit was handed over.

"Sword Master Guyue is really dedicated to Xiaochun Mountain." Dian Mu Yawu said with emotion in his tone.

Yuan Xiaohan said with a smile: "It's a matter of duty."

These words attracted all the elders to look sideways, but Ruan Xun ignored them indifferently, his expression remained unchanged.

In the arena, the fighting is intense.

Ah Qi has been with Ruan Xun since he was born. He is a good spy and a weapon in his hands all year round.His saber technique can be said to be the most authentic Ruan Xun in this world, one point and one stab, one chop and one stroke, the shape is similar to the spirit.

Although the realm is much worse.

Last night, he did not stay in the Qiujiang August Sound, but turned into a ball of light and entered the Ruan Lai Consciousness Sea.Ruan Xun taught him some ways to fight the enemy, and today he used them in the arena with good results.

But Ah Qi was a little nervous, and Ruan Xunhao stared at him, feeling a little worried in his heart.

"Although I don't quite understand what this cute Tianzi No. [-] is, but he is reliable in doing things. Since you choose to entrust the task to him, you have to believe that he can do things for you. Done." Yuan Xiaohan's voice came from Ruan Xun's ear.

Ruan Xun gave a rare "hmm" in response.

Yuan Xiaohan's words were like a prophecy, and soon, the two sides who played back and forth on the field and were basically evenly divided gradually widened the gap.

However, it took half an hour for the "Being Tired" team to completely defeat their opponents.

This time, the opponent has firm willpower and does not give up a single bit of hope. Even if his teammates are eliminated, the rest of the players on the field will not show any slack, and they will still fight firmly and change tactics flexibly.

After shooting down the last opponent, the "Being Tired" team also lost two players.Ah Qi, who stood firm until the end in the ring, let out a long sigh of relief.

On the other side of the arena, winners and losers are also decided.Ah Qi and this group of winners met on the way back to the lounge, looked at each other, and then continued on their way.

"There's still some time until the last match, do you want to walk around?" Yuan Xiaohan poked Ruan Shang with his jade flute, and said softly.

The latter did not refuse.

The moment he stood up, Ruan Xun felt the familiar aura belonging to the sacred weapon again, but this aura was fleeting, as fast as an illusion.

Ruan Li paused slightly, then pointed his toes, and swept out of the spectator seats.
