Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

With Lin Hao's death, the first round of selection in the competition officially ended.

The fifty Nascent Soul disciples and fifty Golden Elixir disciples who successfully stayed on the ring entered the next round.

As for the other disciples who did not pass the screening, except for some who were seriously injured and had to leave, the vast majority chose to stay and continue to observe the more intense duel that followed.

After Zhou Yiqiao met with his senior brother Shen Kuo, who also successfully entered the next round, the two left the crowd and came to a remote area above a square with relatively few people.

"Brother, do you have any idea?"

After Zhou Yiqiao told Shen Kuo everything about what happened to him in the ring, he asked.

Shen Kuo shook his head and sighed.

"Although I, the Ten Thousand Bone Mountains, belong to a noble family, my master has rarely been involved in the struggles between factions in recent years. Logically speaking, there will be no talent like Lin Hao who is obviously targeting my Ten Thousand Bone Mountains." .”

After saying that, both of them frowned slightly and fell into silence.

After a while, Shen Kuo said.

"If what you described, junior brother, is correct, then Lin Hao should be just an outcast sent by the other party to test your strength, junior brother."

"The real trouble may be among the fifty Golden Elixir disciples who enter the next round."

After listening to Shen Kuo's words, Zhou Yiqiao's face showed a solemn look.

Shen Kuo's words gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Although the barbarian monk named Lin Hao was easily killed by him, whether it was the secret technique of the bear spirit or the physical strength that was comparable to that of a Dzogchen monk, it was far beyond the strength of ordinary monks.

However, even monks like Lin Hao are just abandoned sons used by the opponent to test their strength. So how difficult will the opponent he will encounter in the next round be?

Zhou Yiqiao's expression gradually became solemn and he whispered.

"The person who came here is not good."

Looking at the gloomy Zhou Yiqiao, Shen Kuo couldn't help but express relief.

"Junior brother, you don't have to worry too much. With my junior brother's strength, the upcoming competition should not be a big problem. Even if you encounter an opponent whose strength is comparable to the Nascent Soul realm, I think you can handle it, junior brother."

"Besides, junior brother, don't forget that there is Master behind us."

"Even if we are unable to do anything and are seriously injured, with Master's mind-guarding Gu here, we can escape safely!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao's expression suddenly improved a lot.

"Senior brother is right, but my worries are unfounded."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled, adjusted his mentality, and returned to the square with Shen Kuo.

......

The time of Sect Leader Xiang Tuoba and other sect senior officials was extremely precious, and the second round of the competition began soon.

"This sect competition is different from the past."

Tuoba Qingshan stood in front of the elders, glanced at the hundreds of disciples entering the second round, and said in a deep voice.

"In this second round of competition, in addition to you, there are also a hundred disciples selected by me and the elders to participate."

"These disciples are also fifty at the Nascent Soul realm and fifty at the Golden Core realm."

After hearing Tuoba Qingshan's words, the expressions of all the disciples including Zhou Yiqiao and Shen Kuo changed.

Each of the disciples who can enter the second round of the competition can be said to be the core of their respective factions.

Take Zhou Yiqiao and Shen Kuo for example. In order for all the disciples of the noble family, including them, to achieve good results, the aristocratic family faction had compiled the information of all the powerful disciples before the competition and made it available to everyone.

Relying on this method of predicting the enemy first, disciples from the aristocratic family faction accounted for almost 50% of the promoted disciples.

But now, a group of disciples with unknown strength and never expected suddenly appeared to join the second round of competition.

This made everyone who was originally confident about the second round of the competition feel a little stressed.

"It's unfair, the sect master. These people didn't participate in the first round of the arena competition. Now they directly jump in to participate in the second round of competition. It's not fair at all!"

"Sect Master, since the rules are set by you, the Sect Master, then this rule should be followed. This is unreasonable."

Not only were the disciples who had not passed the first round of screening, but most of the remaining elders also stood up to refute Tuoba Qingshan's decision, except for the first elder and the third elder who seemed to have expected it.

After all, in their eyes, these strange faces who join the competition midway are the biggest threats to the disciples of their respective factions.

"Don't be impatient."

Tuoba Qingshan waved his hand, interrupted the discussion in the venue, and avoided the important matter.

"What you all care about is whether the strength of these disciples I have selected can convince you."

"Let's do this. The disciples in the audience who have not entered the second round can now come on stage to challenge them. If anyone can win, then they will participate in the competition on their behalf."

"And if you lose, just admit defeat and stop mentioning fairness or unfairness, how about that?"

Hearing what Tuoba Qingshan said, although the elders on the high platform still did not dare to step aside, the expressions of the eliminated disciples off the field showed a slight calmness.

The disciples in the audience all knew that since the sect leader had spoken, it was impossible to force this tribulation-era boss to take back his life.

Therefore, instead of following the elders to contradict the sect leader, it is better to seize this opportunity to win a spot.

"Disciple is willing to give it a try!"

A rough and heroic roar resounded.

Immediately afterwards, a person with red skin walked out of the crowd and jumped onto the high platform.

Seeing this, Tuoba Qingshan nodded, applauded and said softly.

"Since there are disciples who want to challenge you, you all should come out."

As Tuoba Qingshan's words fell, hundreds of monks filed out of the dock.

Each of these hundreds of monks is a being with surging spiritual pressure and strong qi and blood.

Especially the first three young men and women, all of whom have perfect Nascent Soul cultivation, and have the potential to break through to become gods.

After everyone arrived and stood still, Tuoba Qingshan raised his hand and pointed at the burly man with red skin and said.

"You can choose one of these people at will. As long as you can win, you can replace the other person."

"this......"

When the burly man saw the spiritual pressure exposed by these disciples, he already wanted to give up.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. After hesitating for a long time, he selected a rather thin male cultivator among the fifty monks in the Golden Core Stage.

"Please enlighten me!"

The burly man clasped his fists in salute and said in a deep voice.

The thin man was selected. He narrowed his eyes slightly and without saying a word, he took the initiative to jump into one of the arenas.

When the burly man saw this, he followed suit and jumped up.

The two of them cupped each other's hands, and the moment Tuoba Qingshan personally announced the start of the competition, they both rushed towards each other.

The evenly matched situation that everyone expected did not appear. They just met each other, and the burly man's head was already in a different place.
