The current Taiwei Sect is in constant internal trouble and urgently needs an opportunity to boost the morale of its disciples. This inner disciple selection competition is naturally an opportunity.

But unlike Qing Yangzi, Qin Zhao and Du Yuanxi had no hope for this selection contest. After all, if the outer disciples had outstanding abilities, they would have been selected by Feng Shao to enter the inner sect long ago. Even if there was a possibility of a pearl left in the sea, this possibility was certainly not high.

But Qing Yangzi didn't care about these. Now most of the inner disciples have left, if no more people come in, the Taiwei Sect will really exist in name only.

In this matter, Ling Xuzi, who had been missing for many days, suddenly volunteered. He volunteered to be the chief examiner of the selection competition and led the entire selection competition. And Qing Yangzi, for some unknown reason, actually agreed to his request.

In Ling Xuzi's opinion, the so-called selection competition is nothing more than letting a group of disciples go to the arena to compete with each other, and the winner can become an inner disciple. As for the competition process, he did not give it much thought.

Therefore, in this matter, he directly arranged a ring match.

The rules of his competition are simple. Whoever thinks he has the ability will go to the ring. If the disciples are dissatisfied, they will go up to challenge. The loser will leave the ring, and the winner will stay. This will last for three days, and the one who finally stands on the ring will be the final winner.

Simple and crude.

However, there is an obvious problem with the rules of this competition, which is that only one disciple can be selected. And due to factors such as luck and strategy, the one who can finally stand on the stage may not be the strongest.

Everyone knows that in this kind of ring competition, whoever goes up first will suffer the most. So on the first day of the ring competition, no one went up.

Ling Xuzi sat in the stands, looking at the empty arena, puzzled.

That night, Ling Xuzi went to find Qing Yangzi to complain, and the content of his complaint was nothing more than that the outer disciples were too disappointing and too spineless, and there was not even one who dared to go up to the challenge.

Qing Yangzi was also puzzled when he heard this. This situation had never happened before when Feng Shao held the selection competition! Could it be that after Feng Shao left, the outer disciples also began to lose their fighting spirit?

After careful questioning, Qing Yangzi almost fainted from anger.

Even though he had not paid much attention to the sect's internal affairs before, he knew that Ling Xuzi's competition rules were unreasonable and did not meet his requirements for selecting inner disciples. In anger, Qing Yangzi decided to make the rules himself.

But Qing Yangzi usually only meditates and practices, how much can he know about this kind of thing? So after thinking hard for a while, he finally copied out the rules that Feng Shao had made before.

The competition process formulated by Feng Shao is divided into three steps.

The first step is to sign up voluntarily. The first thirty-two outer disciples who sign up will be qualified to participate.

The second step is the group stage. After drawing lots, there are eight groups of four people. Each contestant must fight one-on-one with the other three people. If they win, they will get one point, and if they lose, they will get no points. The two people with the highest scores in each group will participate in the next round of trials.

The third step is the elimination round. The first in Group A will play against the second in Group B, and the second in Group A will play against the first in Group B. A one-on-one match will be held, and the winner will advance to the next round until the winner is finally determined.

That's right, Feng Shao directly applied the rules of the World Cup. The only difference is that there is no tie here.

The biggest advantage of this rule is that it can prevent outstanding students from being buried. Although the possibility of an upset cannot be ruled out, it is still much fairer than other competition rules.

After using Feng Shao's competition rules, the selection competition finally went smoothly. After seven days of competition, the eight strongest outer disciples were finally selected to enter the inner sect.

According to the previous process, at this time, Qingyangzi, Qin Zhao and Du Yuanxi would have to select their own disciples. However, unexpectedly, Qin Zhao and Du Yuanxi were not interested in this and both said that they had no intention of accepting more disciples. In desperation, Qingyangzi had to accept all eight people into the Changmen lineage.

Qing Yangzi said that his life was really difficult. It seemed that he was the only one in the sect who was concentrating on his work, while everyone else was working against him.

And this guy Ling Xuzi is more of a wretch than a helper!

After the "grand" selection, Taiwei Sect gradually became calm. After Ye Chen and Zhao Meier moved to the back mountain together, they rarely came out to see people. Without the trouble-making Ye Chen and the bright-eyed Zhao Meier, the atmosphere of the entire sect finally became harmonious.

But in this calm, no one knows when the next storm will come and how it will come.

——————————

After two months of hard work, Feng Shao finally transcribed all the ancient books. He copied two copies of each book, one of which was given to Lin Fengtian as a betrothal gift for marrying Lin Xiaoran. The other was kept by Feng Shao himself as a foundation for his future business.

During this period, he also took the time to teach Feng Lingxue, Luo Qiushuang, Bai Shuanghua and Lin Xiaoran martial arts.

The martial arts of Luo Qiushuang, Bai Shuanghua and Lin Xiaoran have all been selected, as for Feng Lingxue, Feng Shao, after some consideration, taught Feng Lingxue an ancient martial arts book called "Ming Xin Ling Sword Sutra".

Feng Shao has discovered that anyone with deep luck has an extraordinary physique. And Feng Lingxue, who has deep red luck, has an "innate sword body".

The innate sword body, as the name suggests, is particularly suitable for practicing swordsmanship.

No wonder Xiao Ruoyao loves this little girl so much.

There are many techniques suitable for the innate sword body. In Feng Shao's huge library of classics, there are at least twenty suitable techniques. Faced with these techniques, each with its own advantages, Feng Shao couldn't help but suffer from the difficulty of choosing.

After some comparison, Feng Shao finally chose the "Ming Xin Ling Sword Sutra" because among these techniques, the "Ming Xin Ling Sword Sutra" is the most special.

Other techniques still follow the general idea, focusing on cultivating true qi and strengthening one's comprehension of swordsmanship from the inside out. These techniques are considered to be standard, and there will be no problems in practicing them. As long as Feng Lingxue practices step by step, there will be no problem in practicing to transcend the tribulation.

However, the "Ming Xin Ling Sword Sutra" is different. This method strengthens the understanding of swordsmanship and feeds it back to the innate sword body, thereby causing resonance between heaven and earth and naturally improving the realm.

It sounds impressive, but there is an unwritten rule in the world of cultivation: the more mysterious a technique sounds, the more dangerous it is to practice. Because the rules are unpredictable, once something goes wrong on the path of cultivation, there is a high possibility that you will never find the right path again.

Therefore, unless it is necessary, the monks will choose those techniques that they can at least understand.

The reason why Feng Shao chose such a martial arts book for Feng Lingxue was because the biggest feature of this martial arts book was that it required practitioners to learn as many sword moves as possible. And it couldn't be the common ones that could be found everywhere, it had to be at least at the level of Chongyang Seventeen Sword Art.

The more sword moves you learn, the deeper your understanding of the sword will be; the deeper your understanding of the sword, the greater the feedback to your innate sword body; the greater the feedback to your innate sword body, the higher your cultivation will be.

If it were someone else, even if they got this technique, they would probably give up practicing it. Even for Xiao Ruoyao, the thirty-six free and easy sword techniques she mastered were not enough to "feed" this technique.

But Feng Shao was different. Not to mention what he had mastered, there were tens of thousands of sword techniques in his mind alone. Even if he learned one sword technique a day, it would be enough for Feng Lingxue to learn for thirty years!

The biggest obstacle to practicing "Mingling Spiritual Sword Sutra" is actually the problem that Feng Shao is least worried about.

After having enough sword tactics, the "Ming Xin Ling Sword Sutra" basically has no bottleneck. Not only that, the strength of the cultivators who practice the "Ming Xin Ling Sword Sutra" increases very quickly, and they have stronger combat power than the same level. Even fighting against higher-level enemies is not a problem. To put it bluntly, the "Ming Xin Ling Sword Sutra" is a technique specifically created for fighting.

After passing the "Mingling Spirit Sword Scripture" to Feng Lingxue, Feng Shao naturally taught her the sword tactics as well. During the process of his teaching, Lin Xiaoran also followed and learned. However, compared with Feng Lingxue's innate sword body, Lin Xiaoran's all-round talent without shortcomings is not as outstanding as Feng Lingxue's. After Feng Lingxue learned a set of sword tactics, Lin Xiaoran often just practiced the sword moves.

Under Feng Shao's dedicated teaching, Feng Lingxue's strength improved rapidly. In just two months, she successfully crossed the two realms of Qi training and foundation building, and was promoted all the way to the Tongmai realm. Her speed of progress made everyone who saw it secretly shocked.

According to Feng Shao's speculation, when Feng Lingxue is promoted to the Xiantian realm, she can go to Ye Chen to avenge the murder of her brother. However, in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Feng Shao plans to go to Ye Chen first after Feng Lingxue reaches the Xiantian realm and beat Ye Chen half to death.

On this day, after Feng Shao finished teaching Feng Lingxue, he and Lin Xiaoran walked out of the martial arts training room hand in hand.

Lin Xiaoran thought Feng Shao was going to meditate and practice as usual, and was about to wave goodbye to Feng Shao, but Feng Shao grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear: "Ran'er, come down the mountain with me today!"

Lin Xiaoran's eyes suddenly lit up: "Go down the mountain? Where to? Is it Bianyun City?"

Feng Shao smiled and shook his head: "It's not Bianyun City, it's even farther than Bianyun City."

"Where would that place be?" Lin Xiaoran asked curiously.

"That's where our...dream will begin!"
