Brother, why is he like this?

Three months later, the Zongmen Grand Competition.

Four arenas for sparring have been built on the martial arts arena, and viewing stands are set up around them, making it convenient for elders and disciples to watch the battle.A total of 160 disciples participated in this big competition, 120 were eight foundation builders, and 32 golden elixirs.There are five sparring sessions per day in each arena, the first four are for Foundation Establishment Stage disciples, and the last one is for Golden Core Stage disciples.

Now the disciples are gathering in the Tai Chi Hall to wait for the draw of lots for the first round of sparring.A huge stone wall was erected outside the hall. The stone wall was as smooth as a mirror, and on it was written with spiritual power, "the first match on the first day of the No. [-] beating" and "the first match on the first day of the second beating". There are four days in total.Some scenes are followed by an empty space, some are followed by a name, and some are followed by two names.The one with two names means that these two people have drawn the same match, and they will have a duel on that day.

At the same time as the number is drawn, the name of the disciple will be displayed on the stone wall to prevent anyone from exchanging it without permission.As more and more people were drawn, the names on the stone wall became more and more full.

"Ah! I'm on the fourth day! The opponent is Senior Brother Feng! What a pity, Senior Brother Feng's realm is higher than mine, so I'm going to lose."

"Why hasn't anyone drawn two, two, three..."

"Three one three! Come on, I'm the third game on the first day, and I have to play tomorrow."

The disciples were chattering, some of them were downcast, obviously they had drawn senior brothers with a higher realm than themselves; some were full of excitement, full of anticipation for the upcoming sparring.

When Ye Tan went forward to draw lots, everyone was silent for a moment, and then whispered to each other:

"This is Ye Tan? How long has it been since you started, and you have already established a foundation?"

"Maybe you have cultivation base before entering?"

"No, the dantian was destroyed before entering the gate, and all cultivation bases are gone."

"It's too terrifying to build a foundation within three months of getting started, faster than Senior Brother Shen."

"How can it compare to Senior Brother Shen! He has a foundation in cultivation! After the dantian is repaired, he can gather Qi!"

……

Ye Tan didn't seem to hear what others said about him, with an indifferent expression, he walked to the lottery container step by step, and took out a lottery at will.

The name was refreshed on the stone wall.

"The second round of the third day of the No. [-] competition, He An and Ye Tan." A golden alchemy uncle who was in charge of maintaining order next to the lottery said aloud.

He An looked at Ye Tan from a distance with a complicated expression.Ever since Ye Tan came to the Tai Chi Hall, he was not pleasing to the eye. He wanted to compete with Ye Tan on the first day, but he was caught by Senior Brother Shen and taught him a lesson, so he didn't dare to ask Ye Tan for another fight.

This time, the name is justified, and this kid must be taught a lesson.

He An glanced at Ye Tan provocatively, but saw Shen Lingyuan standing beside Ye Tan, talking to Ye Tan with a smile and lowering his head, and patted him on the shoulder.

Suddenly a little discouraged.

Shen Lingyuan encouraged Ye Tan in a low voice, and said that the brothers and sisters should learn from each other and stop.It’s okay to throw in the towel if it feels like a struggle.During this period of time, he instructed Ye Tan to practice swords, knowing that he is quite talented in the way of swordsmanship, and his cultivation base is not weak.But the eyes are inconvenient, I'm afraid it will be a disadvantage in the end.

Ye Tan nodded one by one.

After the Jindan disciples drew lots after the foundation was established, Shen Lingyuan drew the number three, the fourth day and the fifth round of the competition.

The snow on the martial arts arena has been cleared away, and the four huge arenas are divided into four directions, and the seats in the stands are raised step by step, so that the spectators sitting behind can see clearly.

On the day of the official competition, the stands were already crowded with people. The highest row in the northern stand was the suzerain Cang Xiao and the four elders, accompanied by their own disciples.The Sovereign and Elder Qing Xiao had only one disciple beside them, while Elders Dan Xiao, Zi Xiao, and Bi Xiao had a lot of direct disciples, especially Elder Dan Xiao, a row of female disciples, dressed in red and holding swords, were really pretty.

Ordinary inner sect disciples seldom see so many female cultivators, so they poked their heads to see them one by one.After being glanced threateningly by the senior senior sisters, they shrank their necks in fright, and immediately dared not look any more.

It is said that the seniors and sisters of Danxiao Peak are all fierce and fierce. When I saw them today, they really lived up to their reputation.

The onlookers widened their eyes to see the high-spirited and unrestrained swords on the field, exaggerated exclamation from time to time.

Shen Lingyuan watched the competition off stage for a while.The cultivation bases of the Foundation Establishment disciples who played in the first battle were not much different, and their swordsmanship was quite proficient, but compared with Ye Tan, they seemed to be a little less advanced.

Shen Lingyuan turned to look at Ye Tan beside him.I saw him standing behind Elder Qing Xiao with his sword in his arms, facing the direction of the ring, as if he was carefully distinguishing the sword moves of his brothers.His eyebrows and eyes were covered by a silk ribbon, and his expression could not be seen.

Ye Tan is "watching" the battle at this moment, "watching" how the disciples draw their swords, how they make moves, how they sweep with their swords, and how they hold their swords to block.But not with the eyes, but with the spiritual sense.For ordinary people, watching the four arenas at the same time is a bit dizzying and overwhelming, but Ye Tan can capture the sword moves of both sides in the four arenas with just relying on spiritual knowledge and ear power, and still has time to feel the gaze of his senior brother.

The faint scent of requiem incense lingers in the nose, making Ye Tan feel peaceful even in the noisy martial arts arena.

The third day of the competition.

On this day, three direct disciples participated in the competition.The onlookers were excited and watched intently.

The first one is the first round of the No. [-] competition, Zixiaofeng's direct disciple versus an ordinary inner disciple.This personal disciple has reached the middle stage of foundation establishment, while the other party has only reached the early stage of foundation establishment. There is a huge gap in strength, and the competition is over in less than a cup of tea.

The defeated inner disciple was convinced, and the two greeted each other and walked off the ring.

Elder Zixiao didn't speak, just opened the folding fan in his hand, and shook it in front of his chest a few times, obviously very satisfied with the performance of this direct disciple, and the other direct disciples around him also showed a faint smile.

The disciples in the stands also burst into cheers.

The second is the second round of the No. [-] competition, He An vs. Ye Tan.

Ye Tan and Shen Lingyuan riding a crane together attracted everyone's attention on the first day, and the news spread like flying throughout the Tai Chi Hall.Everyone was talking about the new and only direct disciple that Elder Qingxiao had accepted, quietly guessing why he was blind, why he was accepted as a disciple by Elder Qingxiao, what relationship he had with Jianzong or Senior Brother Shen, and why he was so valued.

Being able to become a personal heir, the talent is naturally good.But he didn't have any outstanding performance in the Taiji Hall, and the martial arts arena was very quiet. He didn't practice swords and didn't talk to other brothers. He looked not only blind, but also dumb.

Very strange.

It wasn't until Ye Tan came to the Tai Chi Hall to draw lots yesterday that everyone knew that he had built the foundation quietly.

But what's the use of building a foundation? He's blind and doesn't usually practice swordsmanship. Does he still expect to rely on Qingxiao Peak's spirit grass to attack his opponent?

Standing on the ring, He An looked at Ye Tan, who was holding a sword and said nothing, pouted slightly, and said in his heart that he was pretending to hold a sword, do you know how to use a sword?But thinking of the seniors, especially Senior Brother Shen, who were still watching here, he couldn't lose his courtesy, so he bowed his hands to Ye Tan, saluted, and said, "Brother."

Ye Tan returned a salute and said, "Brother, please."

He An raised his eyebrows and drew his sword in his hand.

Ye Tan heard the sound, and the cloud came out of its sheath.

"Yes... it's a spirit sword!"

"Ye Tan actually has a spirit sword!"

When everyone saw Ye Tan holding a sword in his hand, they didn't care at all.At this moment, the sword was out of its sheath, and spiritual energy was overflowing. Just now when I set my sights on the sword, someone immediately recognized that it was Shen Lingyuan's former sword, Liuyun.

He An also recognized Liu Yun, saying that he was not jealous was a lie.Immediately, he was no longer humble, he stepped down, jumped high, and stabbed Ye Tan with his sword angrily, thinking to himself, what qualifications do you have to take this sword?

Shen Lingyuan stood under the stage and looked intently.I saw Ye Tan holding up his sword to block, accurately intercepting the sword coming from the sky, then using his wrist to push the sword away, at the same time pinched a sword formula with his left hand, and swung two swords with incomparable speed with his right hand, it was the Liangyi Sword There is a move in the method of "holding the yin and embracing the yang", the sword is full of energy, and the sword is fast and fierce.

He An originally thought that this kid couldn't even use a sword, but he didn't expect that not only the strength of the sword that blocked him was not weak, but also such a fierce sword move when he made a move. A trick of "reversing yin and yang" breaks the "holding yin and embracing yang".

The two disassembled more than a dozen moves, and Ye Tan's sword was getting faster and faster, and his movements were flowing like clouds and flowing water.Liu Yun flipped in his hands like an arm and a finger, without any sense of stagnation.

He An had to dismantle his moves quickly. Fortunately, he had practiced these sword moves many times, so he could use them without thinking.

He An is also in the early stage of foundation establishment.The disciples at the early stage of foundation establishment didn’t have much swordsmanship to learn. Usually, the masters and brothers would discuss each other’s moves. There are only three sets of swordsmanship to come and go. "Yin and Yang intertwine", I use "Sword to Yin and Yang" to crack.

He An saw that his sword was coming horizontally, which was a form of "Taiji Wuji" in Taiji swordsmanship. Without thinking about it, he turned around and stabbed obliquely, which was "Heaven, Earth, Universe". ", then you should "return your true energy to one".

He An turned around and stabbed obliquely, but Ye Tan did not back away as he imagined, but twisted his waist to the left and turned around, avoiding the sword that he stabbed obliquely, pinched the sword formula with his left hand, raised his wrist with his right hand, To his throat!

This is not formless at all!

This is not even any of the Taiji Sword and Liangyi Sword, but the most basic one of stabbing!

At this time, He An had already used "Zhen Yuan Gui Yi", and the sword had already risen, and there was no time to retreat to save himself, so he could only watch Ye Tan's sword stabbing, and stopped two inches away from his throat.

From the very beginning, the rhythm of this competition was in Ye Tan's hands, and He An fell into the trap without knowing it.

There was a wind blowing the pine trees and bamboo forest beside the martial arts field, the snow on the pine branches rustled, the bamboo leaves also rustled, the wind blew Ye Tan's sleeves, but his sword hand was steady A little shaken.

There was a moment of silence in the stands, and the next moment there was a burst of exclamation.

Even Elder Dan Xiao let out a slight snort.

He An's head was full of "Why didn't he use the sword according to the routine!", until the steward of the deacon's hall shouted "No. [-] is the second round, Ye Tan wins", He An came back to his senses, and he lost.

Ye Tan retracted his sword and lowered his hand, bowed in He An's direction, and said, "Brother, let me go."

He An was so frustrated that he cupped his hands in Ye Tan's direction without looking at him, and walked down the ring dejectedly.

Shen Lingyuan was under the ring, seeing his distraught look, so he comforted him: "Your sword moves are very proficient, but you still need to make more changes. Moves are dead, but people are alive."

He An nodded sharply.

Shen Lingyuan then said nothing more, nodded to He An, turned around and left.

He An stood there giggling.

Shen Lingyuan was waiting for Ye Tan at first, and seeing that he had also left the ring, she stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother."

Ye Tan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Obviously I won, why did the senior brother praise He An?

Shen Lingyuan saw that he was unhappy after winning the competition, a little funny, grabbed his wrist and said: "Let's go", then led him back to the stands.

Although Ye Tan was cold-hearted, he obediently let him hold his wrist.

Shen Lingyuan didn't know that Ye Tan never sparred with others in the martial arts arena, how could he have imagined that he used his spiritual knowledge to "watch" the battle for two days to discover the rules of moves, so he didn't know that Ye Tan didn't need to teach swordsmanship by himself.

The disciples in the stands watched Shen Lingyuan pull Ye Tan past him, followed them all the way to the last row, speechless.

This little blind... Junior Brother Ye is pretty good, no wonder Elder Qingxiao and Senior Brother Shen favor him.

Sword cultivators respected the strong, and before they disdained Ye Tan, the main reason was that this guy was of unknown origin and looked weak, but he was still valued.

Now, Ye Tan has proved his strength.

The disciples have mixed feelings in their hearts.

Back in the stands, Elder Qing Xiao hadn't said anything before Elder Dan Xiao said, "Not bad."

Elder Dan Xiao's evaluation of the group of disciples in the Tai Chi Hall was either "stupid" or "trash". If she said "not bad", that is really the highest praise.

After hearing this, Ye Tan still had no expression on his face, he just bowed to Dan Xiao and said, "Master uncle is ridiculously praised, I dare not take it."
