Hundreds of outer disciples of the Cangwu sect gathered here and formed a circle.

There was a large empty space in the middle of the crowd, with three young boys and girls in bright yellow clothes standing in it.

In the open space in front of the three people, there was a young man with red hair, who fell to the ground in pain. There was an obvious bloodstain on his chest, deep enough to see the bone.

He was so badly wounded that he had difficulty even standing up, but there was no sign of fear on his face as he stared at the three people in front of him.

It was the disciples next to him who helped him and pulled him out of the open space.

At this time, the taller and thinner of the three people from the Tempering Gold Sect, the young man with a sword on his back, took a step forward, looked around, and sneered, "Is this the genius disciple of your Cangwu Sect? He is so vulnerable that he can't even take my five swords."

"Why do you, the Cangwu Sect, claim to be the sect with the most talented disciples in Wudong?"

"How about giving me this title, Tempering the Golden Gate?"

The tall and thin boy's words were full of obvious provocation.

Among the three, the young man wearing a jade hairpin had a calm expression on his face. He did not try to stop him, as if he condoned his behavior.

Even the last girl among the three had a joking smile on her face. Even though she didn't say anything, the playfulness in her eyes showed her attitude.

Hearing the words of the tall and thin young man, the surrounding disciples of the Cangwu Sect gnashed their teeth in anger, and suddenly there was a boiling sound.

"Don't be too arrogant. We have many talented people in the outer sect, but the talented disciples are not among us. When they come, you will have a hard time."

"These bastards from Cuijinmen are obviously here to cause trouble."

"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore. Let me go meet them."

"You're going? Even Fang Jianxing lost. He is the second most talented disciple of the younger generation besides Shangguan Yuzhou. Although he is only at the fifth level of Yanglun Realm, the Fire-Swallowing Yanglun Sutra he practices is something that even veteran disciples at the sixth level of Yanglun Realm have to be cautious about. Can you compare to him?"

Many young and energetic disciples wanted to leave, but were stopped by the disciples next to them.

They all knew that the red-haired boy who had just been defeated was already the strongest among the young disciples, except for Shangguan Yuzhou.

And they either have too low a level of cultivation.

Or they are too old and embarrassed to take action.

Because the three people from Cuijinmen looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. If they sent people in their twenties or thirties to compete, it would be shameful even if they won.

Instead, people will be accused of bullying the weak.

This is also the reason why the strong men in the first echelon of the outer sect did not take action.

"Alas!" Outside the venue, a gentle and elegant young man dressed in green, holding a paper fan, watched the farce of the Cuijinmen group and sighed with melancholy.

Standing next to him was a woman in a purple dress, with delicate features and a dignified appearance. Hearing his sigh, the woman smiled.

"Junior Brother Shui Zhusheng, why don't you come down and try your luck?"

This person is Shui Zhusheng, who is ranked tenth in the outer sect and is known to be the most talented disciple in the previous batch.

During the outer sect training, Dou Xiao was injured by him. After escaping from the central battlefield, he was killed by Kong Ju.

The fact that his strength is ranked among the top ten in the outer sects is enough to show how powerful he is.

Shui Zhusheng heard the purple-skirted woman's teasing and shook his head with a wry smile: "Senior Sister Huajian, please stop making fun of me. I'm already twenty-three years old, and it wouldn't be glorious to win against them. Forget it, let them make a fuss."

The purple-skirted woman, Huajian, is ranked eighth in the outer sect. Although she looks young, she has made great achievements in cultivation.

His real age is about 27 or 28 years old.

Looking at the three disciples of Cuijin Sect in the crowd, her brows were deeply furrowed.

"This Tempering Gold Sect is not simple. It was able to cultivate these three young geniuses. I'm afraid that among our young generation of outer sects, apart from Junior Brother Shangguan Yuzhou, there is no one else who can fight against them."

On the Cuijin Sect side, the tall and thin disciples were still making provocative remarks.

The disciples watching cursed but did nothing, which was quite lively.

A young man carrying a longbow happened to pass by here.

Cast a curious look over here.

"Why is it so lively today?"

It was not until Kong Ju's wandering gaze locked onto the three figures in bright yellow robes in the crowd that he was slightly stunned.

"From the Tempered Gold Gate!"

Kong Ju had fought with Jiang Xingtian of the Cuijin Sect at the Frost Moon Altar, so he naturally knew the clothing and attire of this sect.

In the whole Wudong, the only people who can wear bright yellow clothes are those from the Cuijin Sect.

Hearing the shouting and cursing from inside and outside the circle, Kong Ju listened carefully for a moment and roughly understood the whole story. He smiled slightly and didn't care.

"You are really young and energetic."

Muttering to himself, Kong Ju certainly would not take action for such a boring reason, so he turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly.

Something unexpected happened in the crowd.

After a commotion.

Swoosh! A figure shrouded in silver sword energy suddenly shot into the field from outside the crowd.

The newcomer didn't waste any words. He released a sharp sword energy and chopped down at the tall and thin young man.

Before the sword energy arrived, the sharp aura had already completely enveloped the tall and thin man. His bright yellow robe was immediately torn into countless holes by the aura.

This sword finally made the young man show a solemn expression and drew his sword.

Bang! The sound of sword chanting resounded in all directions.

The green sword light collided head-on with the silver sword energy that was slashing towards him.

Clang! For a moment, sword energy overflowed.

The disciples watching from the surrounding area had to retreat one after another until they were twenty feet away.

On the other side, the two people fighting in the field were also fighting each other.

Unlike all the previous competitions, the two men in the field were actually evenly matched. In just a few breaths, hundreds of swords had collided.

There was a sound of swords clashing at the scene.

The two men fought so fast that the disciples watching could hardly keep up.

Finally, the disciples watching finally saw the face of the person who had made the move. The tall figure and the pair of sword-like eyebrows made him look intimidating without even being angry. It was none other than Shangguan Yuzhou, the number one talent of the younger generation of the Cangwu sect.

"It's Shangguan Yuzhou!"

"Haha, Junior Brother Shangguan is here. Why is this little beast from the Cuijin Sect silent? Has he lost the time to talk?"

"Junior Brother Shangguan is the best among our young generation. The Tempering Gold Sect is nothing to be proud of!"

…

Shangguan Yuzhou's move immediately caused cheers from the audience.

Even Shui Zhusheng and Huajian's eyes lit up.

Shui Zhusheng and Shangguan Yuzhou were both the top talents among their respective batches of disciples, just five years apart.

He immediately gave a fair evaluation: "Shangguan Yuzhou is indeed worthy of his reputation. This sword energy is probably not far from the threshold of comprehending the sword intent!"

Only Kong Ju, who was outside the arena, looked worried after seeing Shangguan Yuzhou's move, and sighed, "Senior Brother Shangguan is really restless all day."

He had already stopped when Shangguan Yuzhou made his move.

And his hand was already on the longbow, ready to deal with any sudden attack from the other two disciples of the Tempering Gold Sect at any time.

Kong Ju can ignore the other competitions and let Shangguan Yuzhou go.

After all, we are from the same sect and there are sect rules to follow, so we won’t suffer any loss.

This time it’s different, they are a group of disciples from other sects, Kong Ju can’t let his best friend suffer.

The two fought for a while.

When the battle reached its climax, Shangguan Yuzhou became more and more courageous, his sword was mighty, and his killing power seemed unstoppable.

The tall and thin young man is only at the sixth level of Yanglun Realm and is a swordsman. How could he possibly be a match for Shangguan Yuzhou now?

That imposing figure made the young man wearing a jade hairpin from the Tempered Gold Sect look solemn. He said to the girl beside him solemnly, "This man is extremely dangerous. If you meet him in a formal competition, you must not hold back and must defeat him with thunderous means."

"Even Senior Brother Yuan Xiao said so. Could this person be your rival?" The girl showed surprise for the first time. In her impression, Yuan Xiao seemed to look down on all his peers.

This was the first time she heard someone receive such high praise from Yuan Xiao.

There was a dark green light flashing in Yuan Xiao's eyes, as if he could see through Shangguan Yuzhou's wanton posture in the field, and he said softly: "This person didn't use his full strength, but he made Shi Yuanxiao exhausted. If he used his full strength, he would be qualified to be my opponent."

The two had a brief conversation.

Shi Yuanxiao's defeat was already apparent, and he was about to lose to Shangguan Yuzhou. A look of terror suddenly appeared in his eyes, and it seemed as if he was about to use some trump card.

"Go to hell!"

"Hey!" Shangguan Yuzhou was still not afraid. He sneered and looked back. The sword also suddenly burst out with a silver light that was impossible to look directly at. He was about to take this move.

"Shi Yuanxiao, stop!" Seeing this, Yuan Xiao's eyes narrowed and he shouted at Shi Yuanxiao.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

However, the latter was already burning with rage and could not listen at all. The sword in his hand was shaking continuously and the killing move was almost about to slip out of his hand.

"This reckless man!" Yuan Xiao cursed in a low voice and walked directly into the venue.

It seemed as if he wanted to take the sword for Shi Yuanxiao.

However, just as he took a step forward.

Swoosh! A sharp arrow flew through the air, flew over a distance in a flash, and shot directly onto the ground under his feet.

The extremely cold air contained in the arrow froze the ground where the arrow landed into ice.

The bitterly cold air forced Yuan Xiao to stop.

"So fast!" The girl from Tempering Gold Gate beside Yuan Xiao couldn't help but be amazed at the speed of the arrow.

On the other side, Yuan Xiao gave up his plan to attack because of the obstruction of this arrow, and stared in the direction where the arrow came from with indifferent eyes.

The sudden arrow also caught the attention of the disciples watching.

The person who was able to force Yuan Xiao to stop must be very powerful.

"Which senior brother did it?"

The onlookers all had the same thought at the same time, because they couldn't think of anyone else in the younger generation, except Shangguan Yuzhou, who could withstand the three tough guys from Cuijinmen.

However, when all eyes were focused on the figure of the young man holding a longbow outside the venue, the outer disciples of the Cangwu Sect were collectively stunned.

"who is he!"

"Kong Ju! Shangguan Yuzhou's friend."

"This person has such strength, it is impossible for him to be unknown."

…

Everyone still thinks that Kong Ju is Shangguan Yuzhou's best friend, except for three or two people in the sect who know his background.

No one would think of him as a genius.

The other side.

Shangguan Yuzhou and Shi Yuanxiao did not collide in their final confrontation.

Shui Zhusheng and Hua Jian appeared on the scene at the same time and blocked the two men's swords that could easily decide life and death.

Shui Zhusheng placed his palm on Shangguan Yuzhou's sword-holding arm and said in a warm voice, "Junior Brother Shangguan, they are my guests after all, so don't kill anyone."

"Haha, Senior Brother Shui is right. I didn't stop myself, did I?" Shangguan Yuzhou didn't mind. After laughing, he put away his sword.

Shui Zhusheng, on the other hand, lowered his head and glanced at his green clothes inconspicuously.

A scratch on his chest tore his clothes.

Seeing this scene, Shui Zhusheng's pupils shrank slightly.

If Shangguan Yuzhou wasn't stopped, this sword would definitely result in a death.

On the other side, Hua Jian, who had stopped Shi Yuanxiao, walked to Shui Zhusheng and looked outside the crowd at Kong Jue, who was holding a longbow high.

A smile appeared on the mature and charming face.

"I didn't expect that our Cangwu sect still has such a genius hidden."

Shangguan Yuzhou naturally knew who Huajian was talking about. He glanced in the direction of Kong Ju, smiled broadly, and introduced him generously, "My brother, Kong Ju. He is just low-key on weekdays, but his talent is not inferior to mine."

It's okay if others say compliments.

These words came from Shangguan Yuzhou's mouth, but Shui Zhusheng and Huajian's eyes lit up in surprise.

That arrow was indeed amazing, but there was still a gap between it and Shangguan Yuzhou's.

It seems that the young man named Kong Ju has not yet tried his best.

After hearing what Shangguan Yuzhou said, Shui Zhusheng also carefully looked at Kong Ju in the distance for a moment.

The young man has a slender figure, eyes as bright as the shining moon, and long hair tied up casually. He looks lazy, but in fact, there is a coldness hidden under his casual temperament.

"Our Cangwu sect is truly full of talented people." Seeing this, Shui Zhusheng was in a good mood and smiled sincerely.

Shangguan Yuzhou did not hide anything when he said this; he was such an open and honest person.

Not only Shui Zhusheng and Huajian heard that sentence.

Even the disciples of Cangwu Sect nearby heard it.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Kong Ju again was even more different.

"Shangguan Yuzhou said it himself. His talent is not inferior to his. Oh my god. Damn it, I'm not in seclusion. How can I be so isolated from the news?"

"I'm confused too, but looking at that arrow, there's definitely something going on."

"Who cares? As long as we can bring honor to our sect, the more geniuses the better. Junior Brother Shangguan is mighty, Junior Brother Kong Ju is domineering. Let's show these three little guys from the Tempering Gold Sect how powerful our sect is."

…

Kong Ju naturally knew the famous Shui Zhusheng and Hua Jian from the first echelon of the outer sect.

Seeing that the fight between the two people was over.

He completely ignored the constant calls for battle and muttered disdainfully, "Fight! Fight your ass!"

"You don't even have a single spirit crystal, what's the point of playing with your life?"

After saying that, he put away his longbow, waved to Shangguan Yuzhou as a greeting, and slowly left the battlefield under the gaze of everyone.

Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at each other.

The direction of the plot development seems wrong. Shouldn't the geniuses of the Cangwu School join forces to fight against the Cuijin Sect? Why did Kong Ju leave?

Only Shangguan Yuzhou was used to it. After he withdrew his gaze from watching Kong Jue leave, he looked at the three people from Cuijinmen with an unfriendly look and said lightly: "Don't make a fuss here. If you have the guts, show your true colors in the fighting arena!"

Shangguan Yuzhou spoke calmly, his eyes full of contempt for the three people.

After saying this, he bowed to Shui Zhusheng and Huajian, then turned around and chased in the direction of Kong Ju.

Shangguan Yuzhou's loud shout came from afar: "Junior Brother Kong, don't leave, go have some wine!"

"Haha, interesting, interesting!" On the top of the outer sect martial arts pavilion, Huangfu Ying stood with his hands behind his back, watching the battle below with great interest.

Beside him, Huangfu Wuqin held up his handsome chin, also looking down the mountain, and said lazily to his father: "I told you, Kong Ju's strength is no longer what it used to be, and he can definitely fight for me. That's it, your hidden move will be exposed."

"The necessity of every hidden chess piece is to be used at the critical moment when it is needed, to catch the enemy by surprise. Now his strength is enough to protect himself. He doesn't have to be afraid of the hidden arrows in the dark. Let him fight." Huangfu Ying waved his sleeves and finalized the second candidate for the battle with a smile.

Kong Ju had no idea that his move had been seen by the Sect Leader.

Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

His skill does not lie entirely with the bow.
