Huashen Peak.
In a wide open space in the forest, all the outer disciples stood straight, with tension and hope on their faces, looking at Chen Danfeng who was standing in front of them.
The burly and rough Chen Danfeng glanced at these outer disciples coldly and said loudly:
"I will now announce the names of the ten disciples who will be participating in the outer sect competition. Please listen carefully!"
Every year, the five peaks except Jianzhong Peak each send ten disciples to participate in the outer sect competition.
At this time every year, it is also the most tense and anticipated moment for the outer disciples of each peak.
If you can win the outer sect competition, you can directly enter the inner sect.
It saved us decades of detours.
Even if you fail to win the championship in the end, as long as you can get into the top eight or top four and show your face in front of the headmaster and the masters of the peaks, it will be of great benefit to your future prospects.
Everyone believes that practitioners are detached from the mundane world and are ethereal and otherworldly.
In fact, these are all mortals' imaginations. Cultivation is against the will of heaven and requires opportunities and resources.
But opportunities in this world are fickle and resources are limited. Among so many cultivators, only one can finally ascend to heaven.
If you don't strive to be the first in everything and seize every bit of benefit, how can you seek the great way?
For these outer sect disciples, the outer sect competition is a shortcut.
At this time, everyone stared at Chen Danfeng closely. This rough woman did not have any foreplay and directly read out the names of ten people:
"Huang Ye, Qi Xiangcheng, Shi Ying..."
Every time a name was read, there would be exclamations of envy.
"He Zhiqiu."
“…”
When the name He Zhiqiu was called, there were also a lot of cheers.
After all, He Zhiqiu's performance in breaking through the Rock Formation and shattering Chen Danfeng's snow armor during the Rock Conference was still very shocking.
Qin Gengyun was very calm, because when he was exercising with Cheng Yue yesterday, the other party told him that he did not need to participate in the selection and would be directly selected into the final list of ten people.
This is the benefit of practicing with the disciples every day. The back door will be opened directly for you.
"Humph, you're just a flatterer. Even if you go out, you'll be beaten like a sandbag!"
At this moment, a cold snort sounded not far away, obviously coming directly towards Qin Gengyun.
The disciples who were applauding and congratulating Qin Gengyun nearby all quieted down, and silently took two steps back, keeping a distance from him.
Qin Gengyun looked at the man who snorted coldly. He was short and had an ordinary appearance. The impression he gave people was just one word - hard!
After training with his second brother every day for a period of time, Qin Gengyun's body has become stronger than that of most practitioners.
But the one in front of him seemed to be even tougher than Qin Gengyun.
That short and strong body was like an extremely hard piece of granite, and the whole body seemed to be emitting a hard black light.
Qin Gengyun remembered that he had just heard this name - Shi Ying.
This person is also a prominent figure among the outer disciples.
In the outer sect selection competition held at Huashen Peak these days, Shi Ying fought his way to the end in an invincible manner.
No one who fought with him could last more than half an incense stick, and everyone's evaluation of him was just one word - damn, too tough!
The most outrageous thing is that Shi Ying never used any magic weapon throughout the whole process. He was able to break other people's magic weapons with just his fists.
However, Qin Gengyun had no contact with him, so he didn't know why the stone was targeting him.
Qin Gengyun cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Shi has an outstanding physique, so he is naturally more likely to win than me."
"You have some self-awareness."
Shi Ying said disdainfully: "We all relied on our own strength to get here, unlike people like you who rely on flattery to get in through the back door. You better take care of yourself and don't bring shame to Huashen Peak."
After saying that, he turned and left. The remaining eight disciples who represented Huashen Peak bowed slightly to Qin Gengyun and followed Shi Ying away.
This posture clearly aims to isolate Qin Gengyun.
The other outer disciples couldn't help but whisper to each other, and the looks they gave Qin Gengyun became strange.
Words like "using the back door", "trying to please senior brother every day", and "having strange hobbies" kept coming into Qin Gengyun's ears.
"Okay, let's go practice."
Chen Danfeng shouted coldly, and the disciples bowed and dispersed quickly.
Qin Gengyun caught up with Chen Danfeng and asked, "Senior Sister, why is that Senior Brother Shi so hostile to me?"
Chen Danfeng glanced at him and said, "You didn't participate in the selection, but you were selected. Naturally, others will be dissatisfied. Many disciples say that you were selected by pleasing Senior Brother Cheng."
Qin Gengyun nodded: "I understand."
After saying that, he walked back.
"Junior Brother He." This time it was Chen Danfeng who called him and said strangely:
"You are slandered like this, and you are not angry?"
Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Sister, even you know it's slander, so anyone with a brain will understand. For those who don't understand, it's hard to help them grow their brains with words, so we can only use fists."
After saying that, he smiled brightly at Chen Danfeng and left without looking back.
Chen Danfeng stood there, thinking: "He Zhiqiu can see things clearly."
He immediately reacted: "What do you mean even I know?!"
…
Xiyue Peak.
The final ten-man roster is also being announced at this moment.
Wei Wan stood in front of hundreds of outer disciples. Her voice was soft, like the sound of nature, touching everyone's heart.
There was nothing surprising about the name that came out of those soft red lips.
Liusu, Mo Xiaolan and Wu Yi were all selected.
But when the word "Blue Sound" was read, the cheers of the female disciples became noticeably louder, and a pair of annoyed glances were cast towards Mo Xiaolan.
"Master Lan Yin, the princess has been staring at you."
Liusu said to Mo Xiaolan with a smile.
Mo Xiaolan turned his head and saw Wu Yiren glaring at him fiercely, her eyes full of contempt and anger.
After Wu Yiren caught Mo Xiaolan, Liusu and Yunwu's "affair" last night, she has been staring at her like this today.
Seeing Liusu and Mo Xiaolan so close to each other, Wu Yiren's eyes widened even more.
Liusu smiled, put her arms around Mo Xiaolan's arm, and said delicately:
"Yin, we were both selected, that's great!"
"Humph! Obscene! Obscene!"
Wu Yiren was so angry that she stamped her feet. If Wei Wan hadn't been there, she would have drawn her sword and attacked.
Noila Mo said helplessly to Liusu: “Junior Sister He Su, what do you want to do?”
Liusu smiled and transmitted her voice: "I think Jianyue's suggestion last night is very good. If Si Minglan is really caught, I'm afraid we have to rely on Her Royal Highness the Princess to save her. If we want her to let down her guard, we naturally have to use the beauty trap."
"I just provoked her on purpose. You see, she really has a crush on you, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry."
"Third sister, I'll trouble you tonight. Go apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess and comfort her."
Noila Mo was startled: “Third sister?”
"Yes, Jianyue calls me the Second Madam and you the Third Madam, so naturally I have to call you Third Sister!"
"Susu!"
"Don't worry, as long as you seduce the princess, I will definitely speak well of you and ask the young lady to agree to let the brother-in-law take you as a concubine. But first, I have to make it clear that you can only rank behind me!"
