Master of the rivers and lakes

Chapter 643 Sixteen into eight (thanks to the monthly ticket of Misty Star~)
Having said that, after everyone tidied up, the martial arts arena of the Linshan School became lively again.

Because it was already the beginning of Wei Shi at this time, it meant that the competition this afternoon was about to start.

The sixteen disciples who were going to take part in the competition had already made their preparations, and they were also surrounded by many disciples from the outer sect.

Those with good relationships all offered their advice, while those with ordinary relationships just cheered.

For a while, the bustling atmosphere in the martial arts arena dilutes the impact of the incident in the morning.

Compared with the morning, the guest seats were a little empty, after all, there were four people missing.

However, this has no effect on Situ Zhi and the others. Bai Yujing has always been alone and has not communicated with them. The same is true for Duan Laopeng and Tian Qiniang.

As for Zheng Wen, everyone ignored him. In the morning, they even wanted to see a good show, but they didn't expect it to be so big.

Gu Zhen and Wen Qing had already taken their seats, Wen Qing's expression was smiling, while Gu Zhen was a little 'disappointed'.

Obviously, Wen Qing should have won the 'debate' about 'flowers in Wen Qing's garden' before lunch.

In fact, Wen Qing won every debate between Wen Qing and Gu Zhen.

In other words, it was Gu Zhen who let Wen Qing win.

This is the difference between Gu Zhen and other men in this world. Of course, whether it is good or bad, everyone has their own opinions.

At least, Wen Qing thought it was good.

After waiting for the guests to take their seats, Gu Zhen greeted Zhang Qiye and signaled him to start.

This time, Gu Zhen didn't have a lengthy 'speech'. If there is a 'speech' after the half-time break, let alone whether those outer disciples can bear it, Gu Zhen alone can't bear it.

After Zhang Qiye nodded, he walked forward, facing the outer disciples under the stage and said loudly: "The next thing is the competition of sixteen to eight.

The rules are the same as the competition in the morning, and your numbers have not changed.

After a while, Senior Sister Sun will also draw lots, and those who are drawn will have a competition, and the winner will enter the next round,..."

After Zhang Qiye repeated the rules of the competition, he finally emphasized it again: "Finally, the most important point is that the competition ends with points, and no intentional injury is allowed. You must remember."

The outer disciples in the audience responded one after another: "Brother (sister) understands, thank you Brother Zhang."

Then Zhang Qiye continued: "Now Senior Sister Sun is invited to draw lots."

After Zhang Qiye finished speaking, Sun Keren came to the wooden box where the lottery was drawn, and began to draw the first group of matches.

Sun Keren's lottery draw this time is the same as the first lottery draw. The first lottery is for the No. [-] ring, and the second is for the No. [-] ring.

And so on.

There are a total of eight teams in this round of competition, and each arena will have four teams.

Sun Keren looked at the drawn number, and then handed it to Zhang Qiye.

After Zhang Qiye took a look, he said loudly: "The first group, No. 30 and No. 16, the first ring."

Jiang Yanxue was not too surprised when she heard that she was drawn first, but she was still a little lucky.

Fortunately, he didn't smoke with Liang Jiu and Meng Shuang'er.

Jiang Yanxue wasn't nervous, but the shy female disciple No.16 was.

At this time, the female disciple pulled Jiang Yanxue's sleeve with a grimace on her face and said, "Senior Sister Jiang, why did Senior Sister Sun whip us together?"

Jiang Yanxue pinched the female disciple's face, and said with a smile: "Who told you not to sleep in your own room every day, you want to come and squeeze together with me."

The female disciple stuck out her tongue, and said, "You feel safe with Senior Sister Jiang..."

Jiang Yanxue said: "Qiu'er, don't put too much pressure on you, you are still young, don't be in a hurry."

NO.16, Qiu'er, formerly known as Shen Qiu, the daughter of an ordinary family, because she longed for life in the rivers and lakes, she came out without telling her family and joined the Linshan School.

After joining the Linshan Sect, Jiang Yanxue took good care of the shy Shen Qiu, so the relationship between the two was very good.

Moreover, Jiang Yanxue even took Shen Qiu home specially to resolve the conflict between Shen Qiu and his parents because of running away.

Shen Qiu said: "Senior Sister Jiang, don't worry, I know all about it."

At this time, Sun Keren also drew the second group of the first match.

I only heard Zhang Qiye continue to read aloud: "The second group, No. 26 and No. [-], No. [-] ring."

Liang Jiu was also taken aback when he heard his number, and then said to Wang An beside him, "I didn't expect that it was Junior Brother Ren who was drawn. The last thing I want to draw is Junior Brother Ren."

Wang Andao: "Brother Liang, why is this?"

Liang Jiu sighed, "You don't understand."

Wang An wanted to ask again, but he saw a person approaching from a distance, and said to Liang Jiu, "Senior Brother Liang, Senior Brother Ren is here."

After Wang An finished speaking, he saw a majestic male disciple walking towards Liang Jiu with a Chinese character face.

After the male disciple approached, he first bowed to Liang Jiu, and then said: "Ren Yun has seen Senior Brother Liang."

Liang Jiudao: "I haven't seen Junior Brother Ren for a long time. I heard that Junior Brother Ren has a good reputation in Xuexi these days."

Ren Yun said with a smile: "If it weren't for being a disciple of the Linshan School, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for my junior."

Ren Yun, the one who loves walking in the rivers and lakes the most among the outer disciples, has been walking outside all year round, so his one-handed swordsmanship is more practical than other disciples.

Just because Ren Yun often travels outside, Ren Yun's reputation in the southwestern martial arts is even more resounding than that of Liang Jiu, who has been in the mountain gate all the year round.

However, because Ren Yun often travels outside, his relationship with other disciples is not as close as those disciples who have been in the mountain gate all year round.

Fortunately, Ren Yun is also a heroic person, and he also has a certain prestige in the outer sect.

Every time Ren Yun returns to the mountain, he will share with other disciples what he has seen and heard along the way, and what chivalrous things he has done.

This time when Ren Yun returned to the mountain to participate in the outer sect competition, he did not place any hope that he could enter the inner sect.

Because he knew that those masters in the outer sect were much more powerful than him.

But he also knows that his strength lies in his rich practical experience.

However, this time he participated in the outer sect competition for other things, something he had already decided.

He hopes that in this outer sect competition, he can seek the grace of his own sect head, this is his real purpose.

Therefore, winning Liang Jiu this time is a very good thing for Ren Yun, no matter whether he wins or loses.

After Ren Yun finished speaking, when Liang Jiu and Ren Yun walked towards the No. [-] ring, Liang Jiu still asked: "Junior Brother Ren, have you already decided on this matter?"

Ren Yun smiled and said, "Brother Liang, isn't this an extra question?"

Liang Jiudao: "I just feel a little pity. With your strength and talent, you will definitely break out into a bigger world in the future."
