Three days passed in a flash.
The martial arts competition of geniuses that has attracted the attention of the whole town officially began today on the bank of Yunjiang River.
Although Zhou Qing and his companions would not be participating in the competition, they still went to the scene to watch the competition between disciples from all sides.
The same was true for the Yun family. Yun Duo and other young members of the family ran out excitedly and stood with Zhou Qing and the others.
"Zhou Qing, why don't you participate in this selection?" Yun Duo asked curiously:
"Don't you want to go to Yujing?"
"If you want to go to Yujing, you can do so now." Zhou Qing said with a smile, "I just don't want to go in this way."
When you become famous throughout the world, you can leave with dignity and still be respected by all parties without having to rely on anyone.
As for why the Yun family refused, Zhou Qing knew it without asking.
Yun Duo nodded in approval.
"That's right. With your talent and strength, you don't need this imperial envoy to take care of you. You will be respected no matter which sect you go to."
Yun Yun was standing nearby, and something moved her heart.
Zhou Qing was a man of such great talent and strength that he was the only one of his kind she had ever seen in her life.
It would be best if we could get him to join the Yun family.
But the Yun family is not a sect, but a family. How can they attract such people?
unless……
Yun Yun glanced at the clouds.
Unfortunately, my little sister is still too young, innocent and ignorant of the world, otherwise it would be easy.
Apart from the younger sister, there is no one else in the clan who can be used, and those sisters from the side branches are not worthy of Zhou Qing's status.
While Yun Yun was daydreaming, Yun Duo gradually started chatting with Shen Yu.
Two little girls of similar age, one innocent and the other lively, it is easy for them to play together.
The atmosphere between the two sides was harmonious and quite relaxed, but bystanders kept shaking their heads.
"The Taibai Martial Arts School and the Yun family have missed the opportunity to rise to the top without even realizing it." Someone looked as if he was giving orders.
"Being a disciple of the emperor is such a great opportunity and honor. It is countless times better than staying in Black Cloud Town."
"That's right. Taibai Zhouqing and Bai Ruoyue were originally gifted beyond the ordinary. If they could go to Yujing to receive better training, their achievements would probably be great." Someone else echoed: "As a result, they made the wrong choice this day and went astray, wasting their talents in vain."
"When I, Black Cloud Pride, follow Lord Zuo to Yujing, within a few years, Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue will surely be surpassed by those who were originally inferior to them."
"Extremely, extremely. What a pity."
Words like these were spoken by more than one person, and everyone looked very regretful.
Some people were even gloating and secretly laughed at Zhou Qing and the others, saying they were fools who didn't know how to seize opportunities and wasted their talents.
Zhou Qing's cultivation was extremely high, so he heard all the bad words.
But when he looked over to see the voice, he burst out laughing.
Most of the people who were talking about them were warriors at the flesh and skin realm, but they felt sorry for these geniuses at the tendons, veins and internal organs realm.
Not to mention Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue, Shen Long and the others will most likely be able to advance to the Bone Refining stage through their own practice in the future.
It is already remarkable that these people can cultivate to the tendons and veins realm.
But now he is commenting on them in such a condescending manner...
It makes one laugh.
Zhou Qing would naturally not bother with these people in the Flesh Realm, so let them talk.
The others didn't care either. The only one who cared was Shen Yu, who was happily chatting with a good friend she just met.
After a while, Zuo Tianzheng and people from various forces came here together.
They saw Zhou Qing and others at first sight, but just glanced at them and did not come over to say hello.
Zuo Tianzheng gave a long speech, thanking Emperor Qi, thanking the court, and expressing his original intention.
Then the battle of geniuses officially began.
There was no arena or anything like that, but the earth was used as the battlefield.
In the initial stage, it was a duel between independent cultivators, and between practitioners from families and martial arts schools.
Skin and flesh should be matched to skin and flesh, internal organs to internal organs; they should not be mixed.
There won't be any warriors at the Bone Refining Realm participating in the fight. After all, warriors at this level are all people of status.
After both sides have decided on a few winners in each realm, they will compete against each other to select the final winner.
There is not just one winner. According to the notice posted by Zuo Tianzheng's people, those who rank top in each level of the competition in this genius battle will have a chance to be selected.
There will be a competition between monks tonight.
Tomorrow, Zuo Tianzheng will take out the Lingxiu chapter from the Taoist and Wujing books to test his comprehension.
After the three tests, Zuo Tianzheng will comprehensively consider everyone’s performance in each test and finally select a few people.
He did not guarantee that every family would be taken care of, but he guaranteed that someone from every area would be selected.
In fact, no independent cultivators will be selected in the end, because the gap between them and the disciples from families and martial arts schools is too big.
At least in Heiyun Town, there are no independent cultivators who can transcend their classes.
The competitions were conducted very quickly, and multiple competitions were carried out at the same time.
It is very easy to distinguish the strong and the weak among practitioners of this level. There is no such situation where a battle lasts for three days and three nights with no clear winner.
Not everyone can sign up for this fight, you have to prove your strength.
Otherwise, if everyone comes, it will take too long.
Zhou Qing didn't pay attention to the warriors in the skin and flesh realm and the tendons and veins realm, but just watched the fight between the internal organs realm of each family.
Slow, it’s too slow.
Weak, the power is too weak.
In Zhou Qing's eyes, every move of those young disciples who had just entered the internal organs realm was full of flaws.
It’s not that their kung fu skills are not good enough, but the gap between them is too big.
When the difference in strength and speed is so great that it is absolutely overwhelming, no matter how exquisite the skills are, they will all be flaws.
Without his body and soul being destroyed, Zhou Qing also has the strength to reach the great perfection of the internal organs realm. The gap between these young disciples and Zhou Qing is really too big.
Zhou Qing turned his gaze towards those older people in the Zang Fu realm. They had the strength to achieve minor or even major success, but they were also quite old.
In Heiyun Town, there are few people who are at the Zangfu realm under the age of 20. Most of the core disciples of various forces are promoted to the Zangfu realm at the age of 21 or 22.
It is unknown how many years it will take for them to cultivate their internal organs to perfection.

However, there are some benefits to practicing for a long time.
For example, they have enough time to hone their various martial arts skills and have achieved a high level of accomplishment.
Zhou Qing was mainly looking at these things at this time.
"The internal organs master of the Mad Blade Martial Arts School may have an ordinary body, but his Mad Blade skills are indeed extraordinary."
"One strike after another, continuously. The most important thing is that the momentum follows the sword style. If you can't defeat him in advance or interrupt his momentum, then ordinary warriors will definitely not be able to withstand his final attack."
"The power of momentum."
"The spearman of the Lin family is magnificent, but also defensive and agile... So that's how it is. I understand."
"Gao family..."
Zhou Qing looked at the many battlefields, and when he saw some exquisite techniques, his eyes lit up and he thought silently in his heart.
The levels of these martial arts were not considered high for him, but any martial arts created by living beings were explained step by step from low to high.
These people who have been immersed in martial arts for more than ten years did show some things that Zhou Qing had not noticed before when they performed martial arts.
This is another kind of martial arts cultivation, something that needs to be accumulated, an elevation of one's vision, and a polishing of one's martial arts realm.
Either figure it out yourself or learn from others.
At this moment, just by watching, Zhou Qing had some insights and felt that he had gained something.
If Lu Qingmo knew, he would definitely be surprised.
Can this kind of accumulation be learned just by watching?
There's something wrong with you.
When Zhou Qingdong looked around and absorbed nutrients, the beating speed of the Seven Aperture Heart in his body increased slightly. There was also a faint sound of chanting, but it was only limited to the area near the Seven Aperture Heart and could not be heard by outsiders.
Zhou Qing was so engrossed in watching that Zhang Yuantao and the others did not disturb him and were also watching with great interest.
Although not as magical as Zhou Qing's, and one can gain something just by watching, the battle between these people is still exciting in the Black Cloud Territory.
After all, in the past, these people were Shen Long and his team's main opponents.
Those onlookers would exclaim from time to time and loudly praise so-and-so for being so amazing.
However, in Bai Ruoyue's opinion, the fight between these people was rather boring.
Her strength at this moment is not weaker than that of a fully intact bone-refining warrior. She is no longer like before, where she could only withstand a few moves.
In Bai Ruoyue's heart, the only heroes of Black Cloud are Wei Yue and his junior brother.
The others are not worth mentioning.
Seeing Zhou Qing watching intently, Bai Ruoyue wondered secretly that with his junior brother's strength, none of these people would be his match.
Why are you watching so enthusiastically, little junior brother?
Humph, my foolish senior sister, how could you know how great I, your junior brother, am?
My current martial arts knowledge, vision and skills are growing at a rapid pace.
The fight started early in the morning and ended before lunch time.
As expected, the final winners were all from families or martial arts schools, and there was not a single individual cultivator.
There are people with a perfect record in all three realms, and there is more than one person in the Organ Realm.
Because the differences between each small level of the internal organs are too great and it takes a long time, the groups are divided by age.
Seeing that the winner had been decided, Zuo Tianzheng stood up again and praised the winners greatly, while also mentioning the names of several geniuses besides those who had won all the games.
This means that after the three competitions are over, they will have a chance to be selected by him and go to Yujing.
Then Zuo Tianzheng encouraged the defeated people again. His words were sincere and slightly comforted their lost hearts.
The fight was over, and just as everyone was about to leave, someone suddenly shouted:
"Taibai Zhouqing, do you dare to compete with me?!"
Zhou Qing had already turned around, and at this moment he couldn't help but turn his head to look.
The person who spoke was the one who had just won the fight in the tendons and veins realm.
If Zhou Qing remembered correctly, he was a disciple of Tenglong Martial Arts School, named Duan Jin, and had reached the pinnacle of tendons and veins realm.
Zhou Qing shook his head and declined, "I didn't participate in this martial arts competition. How can there be a competition between you and me?"
"The duel is over. You can think of our fight as me asking you, the number one genius of Black Cloud, for advice."
Duan Jin shouted, "I want to see how talented Taibai disciple is to dare to disdain the Emperor's Academy."
Zhou Qing frowned. This bastard, are you trying to put a hoodwink on him? Also, in the first month of Black Mountain, he had already demonstrated his strength that was close to dominating the tendon and vein realm with his minor success in tendon and vein cultivation. With his cultivation speed, it was impossible for the outside world to think that he had made no progress in the past two months.
Is Duan Jin crazy, thinking that he, a person at the peak of the tendon and vein realm, can be his opponent? Or is this not what Duan Jin meant? (End of this chapter)
