Chapter Twelve, Beauty and Misfortune
Since ancient times, interests have moved people. Even if they were a human being for two lifetimes, Li Mu was still a common person.
Not only is it the rewards given in the jealousy, but it is also one of the reasons for becoming famous. Compared to fighting in the world and slowly becoming famous, it is obviously much simpler and safer to get through the competition.
Not to mention ordinary Huashan disciples, who are in their youthful uproar, are all thinking about becoming famous in the competition to attract the attention of "female heroes".
The sword light and sword shadow are ultimately a world of men. Except for a few female sects in the world, the rest are mainly male disciples. This is ultimately a world of "more wolfs and less meat".
I am used to seeing the heroic appearance of female heroes, and it is difficult for ordinary women to attract everyone's attention. Of course, the big reason is that they cannot get it, and what they cannot get is always the best.
I don’t know if it’s because of internal strength, but women in the martial arts world are indeed beautiful. If there are many disputes over sword energy, this "Dharmocles Sword" may fall at any time, Li Mu will not help but show his attention.
I don’t know if it’s because the beauty is on the side. Everyone wants to perform one or two times. The progress of the competition is a little faster than Li Mu expected. Especially for the two striking figures, Cai Buli and Yao Buzhou, few people can walk ten moves under their swords.
They are in glory, but they are suffering from the senior brothers who fight with them. It is a little bit of losing face. If they admit defeat slowly, they may be injured.
Although they were only minor injuries, they still had a little bit of a fight with their fellow disciples. Many elders in the sect frowned. If they hadn't taken into account outsiders' presence, they would have been unable to help but interfere.
Li Mu could smell gunpowder from a distance, and the two seemed to be competing and unwilling to be compared by the other party.
The atmosphere of friendly exchanges was destroyed, and Li Mu's impression of the two men also dropped to the bottom. Although he didn't know what happened, the demeanor they showed now was really difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of the Huashan Sect's great disciples, let alone inherit the Huashan Sect.
"A beauty is in trouble!"
Seeing another senior brother being kicked off the ring, Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, there is a story here. If there hadn't been any change, the two of them would have been like this now and would not have been able to gain the support of many fellow disciples.
"High martial arts skills and genius", how can you compare to Feng Qingyang?
Everyone only remembers the first, second, and third in this world. The cultivation of the next generation of Huashan School not only depends on martial arts, but also on the character and character.
For a moment, Li Mu's gossip was aroused. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to ask about the causes and consequences.
...
A man in green who was about twenty-six or seven years old floated down on the ring.
"Sword Saint!"
"Sword Saint!"
...
The call of the crowd had sounded, and the person who came was Feng Qingyang, a legendary figure of the Huashan School.
It seems that the senior management of the sect was also worried about the previous battle, worried that the situation would be out of control in the future, and even Feng Qingyang, who was invisible to see the dragon, invited him out.
It's normal to think about it. Judging from the posture of Cai Buli and Yao Buzhou, the two of them will probably have a fight next time. Both of them are good players in the first-class realm. Once they get real fire, ordinary elders can't help but get rid of them. If they don't do it well, they will kill people.
No matter what, the two of them were also trained by the Huashan School at a high price, so they must not be lost in the arena.
The only one who is sure to separate the two at critical moments is the top master. In addition to Feng Qingyang, the top master of the Huashan Sect is the head Ning Qingyu. You can't let the head personally host the competition, right?
I don’t know if I was angry by the actions of Cai Buli and Yao Buzhou. Feng Qingyang’s face looked very ugly and his tone was very cold.
“The Freedom Challenge begins now!”
"It's still the same rule. The top ten disciples in the last session are responsible for defending the show. All disciples can freely choose their opponents to challenge, and each person has only one chance.
It is prohibited to use hidden weapons during the competition, and intentional injury is prohibited..."
There is no doubt that Feng Qingyang once again emphasized the rules of the competition, obviously for Cai Buli and Yao Buzhou. While speaking, his eyes glanced at the location where they were, which was full of warning.
It was said that it was the top ten defenders in the last round, but in fact there were only five people on the court. Three senior brothers were injured in the previous battle and had to give up the subsequent battle.
I can only say that luck is also part of strength. When so many guests watch here, it is naturally impossible to wait until they recover from their injuries before continuing.
Needless to say, the other two are always full of surprises. The disciples of the Huashan Sect are not absolutely safe. Those two are representatives of the "accident".
This is exactly the right way, and there is no need to queue up in each of the five arenas on the field.
There are also many unspoken rules when choosing opponents to challenge. After all, they are a well-known sect, and they must pay attention to demeanor and rules, and they cannot blindly pursue victory or defeat.
For example: The challenge starts with the senior brother in front, and the junior brother in back can first observe and find flaws. Each time, rest for a quarter of an hour to recover your physical strength.
You can't engage in a wheel battle. If Li Mu, who is the first in the fifth batch of introductory disciples, fails to challenge a senior brother, the junior brothers ranked behind can no longer challenge it.
Both sides suffered losses in the previous battle, and their own strength was hugely different from them, so they could not go up and get a bargain.
...
In general, most of these potential rules are biased towards those who are later introductory.
Those who can participate in the challenge are not simple people. Most of the time, they don’t have enough energy to recover for a quarter of an hour, which is unfair to the senior brothers in front.
However, from the perspective of the entire sect, this is exactly the greatest fairness. The disciples who first started practicing for a longer time and have an advantage in themselves. If they do not limit the competition, they will lose their meaning.
Of course, the advantages are limited to the challenge period. Once you get the top ten seats, you will have no preferential treatment if you become a champion.
This is all a matter of course. Entering the top ten means being trained by the sect, and the higher the ranking, the more resources you get, it is far from comparable to ordinary disciples. If you still can't sit steadily after three years, you deserve it.
The challenge is not comparable to the previous competition, but the strength gap between these five champions is really big.
Cai Buli is the first-class middle stage, Yao Buzhou is the first-class late stage, but the other three senior brothers are still at the peak of the second-class peak.
With the difference in qualifications and the same in practicing internal skills, the difference in cultivation is so big now that there will be ghosts if there is no story behind this.
If nothing unexpected happens, Cai Buli and Yao Buzhou's cultivation are progressing so quickly. It should be the focus of the Jianqi sects since childhood, with the purpose of suppressing each other.
Perhaps it is precisely because the elders attached too much importance to the two and protected them so well that their minds were not calm enough.
