Early in the morning, Perfected Xuan Yu informed Li Hongfei, Zhang Aoxue, Lu Yun, and Ling Chen that the competition would be held in the afternoon. In the morning, he wanted the three of them to circulate their qi and regulate their breathing. Ao Xue, Lu Yun, and Ling Chen had used up quite a bit of their True Qi, so they needed more time to recover.
After calling Perfected Zi Yang and Master Jingyue to the side, Xuan Yu sighed and said,""The candidates for this competition have already been chosen. This is a random draw, and no one can disagree. As long as it was not a competition between the same sect, whoever drew it would be the winner. No one could say anything. The candidates this time are terrible for our Yi Garden.”
Zi Yang and Jing Yue felt uneasy when they heard that sigh. They looked at him anxiously, waiting for his next result. Seeing that he was silent, Perfected Zi Yang couldn't help but ask,""Senior Brother, what is the situation? You should tell us. We are all anxious. Tell me quickly."
Xuan Yu sighed lightly and looked at the sky slightly."This time, the twelve of you will be divided into six groups. The candidates for the six groups were Bodhi Academy's Ben Yi versus Ling Chen, Phoenix Academy's Cang Yue versus Bodhi Academy's Jie Chan, Dao Garden's Wu Wang versus Confucianism Garden's Du Li, Heavenly Sword Academy's Jian Wuchen versus Hong Fei, Zhan Yu versus Ao Xue, Confucianism Garden's Bi Tian versus Lu Yun.”
Zi Yang and Jing Yue's expressions changed when they heard this. Such a result was indeed unexpected. First of all, with Li Hongfei's cultivation, he would probably lose to Jian Wuchen. Secondly, if Lu Yun went up against Bi Tian, then the result would be the same. Ling Chen's chances of going up against Bodhi Academy would also be low. His only hope was that Ao Xue could defeat Zhan Yu. That way, Yi Garden would have a chance to have someone enter the top six.
" How could this be?" Perfected Zi Yang said with an unhappy expression." Why do we have to face the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy every time we come here?" First, Yun Feng went up against Zhan Yu, then Lu Yun went up against Leng Jiahao, and now even Hong Fei and Ao Xue went up against the Heavenly Sword Academy disciples. Isn't this a battle between our Yi Garden and the Heavenly Sword Academy? The other courtyards are just taking advantage of us and leaving the most difficult to deal with to us. It's really infuriating and outrageous.”
Master Jing Yue sighed and said softly,""Perhaps it was destined for such a thing to happen. We cultivators care about fate the most. Since everything has been decided, we should face it bravely. No matter what, the strength of our Yi Garden is obvious to all. This kind of competition could not be completely fair and reasonable, so there would always be someone who would suffer.”
"Even if someone is going to suffer losses, we can't always let our Yi Garden suffer losses," Immortal Zi Yang said angrily. Why didn't they go and deal with Jian Wuchen? They left their strongest opponent to us. They clearly wanted to eliminate all four of us in this battle and make us the last ones to die. Hmph, I'm just unhappy." After saying that, he looked a little excited.
Perfected Xuan Yu glanced at him and said softly,""Forget it. Since this matter has already been settled, don't be angry. After all, they hadn't competed yet. Who knew the final result? Although everyone had predicted that Jian Wuchen would be the champion this time, the world was unpredictable. No one knew until the end. Now that there were people sulking here, why not go see Lu Yun and Ling Chen and encourage them? From Lu Yun's victory over Leng Jiahao yesterday, and his fight with Ling Chen against Qingyuan from the Dao Garden, it seemed that he might not lose today's battle.”
Upon hearing this, Immortal Zi Yang's expression improved a little. He glanced at the two of them and turned around to enter the cave. Watching his back disappear into the cave, Perfected Xuan Yu said softly,""This time, Aoxue has the highest chance of winning. She has the divine sword in her hand, and with her cultivation, she should have a high chance of defeating Zhan Yu. As for Hong Fei, it was almost certain that he had no chance. As for Lu Yun, I always had a strange feeling about him, but I couldn't grasp it and couldn't say it. His battle with Bi Tian is still unknown, and Ling Chen's cultivation has surprised me, especially after what the Phoenix Academy's headmaster Yu Wushuang said yesterday. Cang Yue from the Phoenix Academy actually knew Ling Chen five years ago, and she seemed to be hiding something. His battle with Benyi is also full of unknowns."
Master Jing Yue looked into the distance and said softly,""Actually, the battle between Hong Fei and Jian Wuchen is very meaningful. At the very least, he could try his best to test Jian Wuchen's cultivation. At the same time, even if he lost, he might be able to damage Jian Wuchen's Yuan Qi and even injure him. In that case, the Heavenly Sword Academy might not be able to secure first place in the final battle tomorrow. At that time, no one would dare to say anything.”
When Perfected Xuan Yu heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face. After a long while, he said," I've made a rough guess. The people most likely to enter the top six in this battle should be Jian Wuchen, Ben Yi, Wu Wang, Cang Yue, Ao Xue, and Bi Tian. If Hong Fei and Jian Wuchen were to fight today and cause him to be severely injured, who would benefit the most from the other five? Bodhi Academy's Ben Yi or Phoenix Academy's Cang Yue?”
Master Jingyue was silent, apparently analyzing his words. As for the cultivation of those people, because they had never compared them before, all the deductions were just guesses. No one could be sure. Looking up at Xuan Yu, Master Jingyue said softly,""We'll know when the time comes, won't we?”With that, he turned around and entered the cave.
After standing quietly at the door for a while, Perfected Xuan Yu sighed and left.
In the cave, Lu Yun and Lingchen were not cultivating. Instead, they were talking to Yun Feng. When Perfected Zi Yang came in and saw the three of them chatting, he couldn't help but ask,""Why didn't you take the opportunity to recover your True Qi, instead of chatting here? What are you talking about?" After saying that, he looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen, a hint of a sigh flashing in his eyes.
Lu Yun and Ling Chen looked at him and saw the worry in his eyes. They knew that he must be worried about the competition. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Lu Yun said calmly,"Master, please take a seat. We are discussing the competition. Yun Feng was just joking with me, telling Ling Chen and I to get that Universe Bag, so that we can destroy the Heaven's Sword Academy's prestige and make our Yi Garden the head of the six academies. That way, he would be able to be awe-inspiring and not be looked down upon by others.”
Lin Yunfeng laughed." Yes, that's right. It's best if we beat that Jian Wuchen until his teeth are all over the ground. That would be even more impressive." At that time, the Heavenly Sword Academy's reputation would probably be ruined. Hehe, but in that case, our Yi Garden will be awe-inspiring. Haha." After saying that, he had a smug look on his face, as if Lu Yun and Ling Chen had already defeated the Heavenly Sword Academy and won first place.
When Perfected Zi Yang heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He sighed slightly and said,""Don't be too thick-hearted. We're still far from the final battle. If you want to have a chance to fight Jian Wuchen, you must work hard in the afternoon. Only by defeating your opponents step by step can you hope to chase after the final number one. If they couldn't even pass today, how could they compete tomorrow?”
Lu Yun's heart sank when he heard this. He could tell something from his master's words. The most obvious thing was that in the afternoon's battle, the opponent's identity was probably not simple, and was definitely an extremely difficult character to deal with. Otherwise, his master would not be so worried, and Ling Chen was not so worried, after all, his cultivation was there. Lu Yun's eyes flashed as he looked at his master's bitter smile. A powerful aura instantly erupted. That powerful aura instantly filled the entire cave. An unwavering determination quietly leaked out from that aura. The powerful aura caused everything in the surroundings to tremble. Countless small stones on the ground were shattered by the powerful aura in the blink of an eye, turning into a layer of fog that floated in the air.
Lin Yunfeng and Reverend Zi Yang's expressions changed as they looked at Lu Yun in shock. Only Ling Chen remained the same. Slowly, the two of them could feel his determination and perseverance. They couldn't help but smile in relief. Immortal Zi Yang's eyes shone brightly as he looked straight at Lu Yun and said in a deep voice,""Good job. I am very happy that you have such determination and confidence. After so many years, our Yang Courtyard has finally produced two talents. You will bring glory to our Yang Courtyard and supreme glory to Yi Garden. All of us will be proud of you. Work hard, I believe you will win this afternoon.”
The two of them looked at their master's expression and felt deeply moved. At this moment, the two of them realized that their master's desire for his son to become a dragon was so strong. At this moment, the two of them finally understood that under their master's kind face, there was a hidden strong heart that refused to admit defeat for a moment. Years of depression had caused him to become silent. At this moment, the two of them had become his only hope. He had revealed the determination that had been hidden in the depths of his heart for many years.
The two of them nodded vigorously and said in unison,"Don't worry, we will definitely win this afternoon, no matter who the opponent is. We will make Yi Garden famous all over the world and Yang Courtyard glorious. Just wait and see.”It was like an oath. At this moment, the two of them were deeply shaken by Immortal Zi Yang's obsession. Since he was here, he couldn't let everyone down.
Perfected Zi Yang looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen, and said excitedly,"Good, good. As expected of the disciples of my Yang Court. I will cheer for you. Lu Yun's opponent is Bi Tian from the Confucian Garden, and Ling Chen's opponent is Ben Yi from the Bodhi Academy. I hope that you will give it your all. No matter what, you will always be the pride of my heart.”As if afraid that the two of them would see the tears in his eyes, Perfected Zi Yang turned around and stood there quietly for a while before leaving.
As they watched their master leave, the two of them suddenly thought that they had never truly treated him as their master before. However, at this moment, the two of them realized that his shadow had already been deeply imprinted in their minds. Although he did not teach them many spells, the expectations and concern he had for them were still unforgettable even though it had only been a short two years.
Lin Yunfeng's expression changed slightly and he said softly,""Lu Yun, Lingchen, it looks like you'll have to work hard this afternoon. Bi Tian and Ben Yi were the top experts of the Confucian Garden and Bodhi Academy. They were not easy to deal with. Their cultivation was so deep that it was probably not easy to win. Do you have confidence in them?" After saying that, he looked at the two of them with concern in his eyes.
Lu Yun's expression changed slightly. To be honest, he didn't want to fight Bi Tian. There were many reasons for this. The main reason was that the relationship between the Garden of Confucianism and the Garden of Changes had always been relatively good. Moreover, once he won, the Garden of Confucianism would not have a chance to enter the top six this time. That would be a huge blow to the Confucian Garden. Glancing at Yun Feng, Lu Yun said indifferently,""It's a pity that I didn't meet that Zhanyu. Otherwise, I could have personally avenged you. As for Bi Tian, to be honest, I won't lose.”His tone was calm, and there wasn't much fluctuation. Ling Chen smiled and said to Yun Feng,"Don't worry, I won't lose. I'll show you my strength in the afternoon. This made Yun Feng somewhat unable to see through the two of them.
Seeing Yun Feng's puzzled expression, Lu Yun smiled and changed the topic.""Alright, it's still early. Let's go out for a walk. If we stay here for too long, we'll become dull. Let's go." After saying that, he pulled Yun Feng out of the cave, and Ling Chen followed closely behind.
Walking on the square, he saw countless disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy shuttling back and forth. Everyone was busy with their own matters. When those disciples saw Lu Yun, their eyes were a little strange, with a trace of displeasure. It seemed that because he had defeated the third expert of the Heavenly Sword Institute, Leng Jiahao, here yesterday, everyone subconsciously disliked him.
Lu Yun looked around and smiled." If I really defeat Jian Wuchen, I'm afraid no one here will welcome me." This was the extreme side of everyone's heart, and it was especially obvious here.”After saying that, his gaze swept across the few people walking over from afar.
Lin Yunfeng smiled." So what? The next time they come to our Yi Garden, we'll just return the favor. Who cares?" This time, as long as you can defeat him, even if these disciples are unhappy, who would dare to say that you can't? He believed that even if they were unhappy, they would not dare to say it out loud.”
"Yun Feng is right. As long as we can defeat him, even if these disciples are unhappy, who would dare to say anything?" Ling Chen smiled.”
Lu Yun chuckled." With you around, I might not have the chance to meet Jian Wuchen. Alright, there are people from the other courtyards. Let's go meet them."”With that, he walked over. Hearing this, Yun Feng raised his head and looked. His eyes revealed a trace of doubt and he immediately followed.
Looking at the person in front of him, Lu Yun smiled and said,""Brother Bi Tian, Brother Benyi, and Brother Wuwang, why did you think of coming here for a walk?”Bi Tian of the Confucian Garden, Wuwang of the Dao Garden, and Ben San of the Bodhi Academy walked towards Lu Yun and the other two.
Bi Tian of the Confucian Garden looked at Lu Yun with a strange expression, as if he was hiding something. Glancing at Yun Feng, Bi Tian said,""I originally thought that the competition would be in the morning, so I started preparing early in the morning. Who knew that it would suddenly be changed to the afternoon, so I came out for a walk. The competition is in the afternoon. How are your preparations?”
When Lu Yun heard this, a bitter smile appeared on her face and she said softly,""How could I have prepared anything? In any case, it's already like this. It's too late to fight for half a day. Forget it, since you guys are here, let's not talk about these things. Let's talk about what the three Dao brothers have to say. If you have time, Lu Yun is willing to invite the three of you to chat and gather together.”
When Bi Tian heard this, he glanced at the entrance of the Heavenly Fire Cave and asked softly,""Why haven't I seen Brother Li and Junior Sister Zhang? Didn't I say that I would bring Ben Yi and Wuwang to chat with you guys?”As soon as he said that, Lin Yunfeng rolled his eyes and looked at him strangely, as if he wanted to see through him.
Lu Yun's eyes also flashed slightly. He looked at Ben Yi and Wuwang and said,"They are in the cave. I will get Yun Feng to call them out. Now, let's chat here for a while. Brother I, I heard that you've mastered the supreme Buddhist technique, the Formless Prajna. I'm afraid that the first place of this batch will be yours. Brother Wuwang is the number one disciple of the Dao Garden. He believes that his Dao is divine and is very proficient in all kinds of Daoist spells?”After saying that, he gave Yun Feng a look.
Ben Yi said humbly," Junior Brother Lu, you must be joking. My cultivation is still shallow. I'm afraid that the first place of this year's competition will be none other than Jian Wuchen of the Heavenly Sword Academy." As long as Ben Yi could enter the top six, he would be satisfied. On the other hand, Junior Brother Lu Yun and Junior Brother Ling Chen's cultivations are profound. They have only been in the Yi Garden for two years and have already cultivated to such a level.”
" I'm right," Wu Wang agreed." The one with the highest chance of getting first place this year is Jian Wuchen." To be honest, if I were to meet him, there's no need to compete. I'll just quit. As for who could compete with him this time, I'm afraid it would only depend on Cang Yue of the Phoenix Academy and your Yi Garden. As for me, although I know a little about Dao techniques, I'm not proficient in them. Compared to your Yi Garden, I'm far from it.”After saying that, he smiled.
Lu Yun smiled." Senior Brothers, you're too humble. Now that you've said that, we don't dare to stand here anymore." Senior Brother Li and Senior Sister Zhang are here. Do you want to find a place to sit or chat here?”After saying that, he looked at the three of them and glanced at Ao Xue.
Benyi and Wuwang looked at each other, then at Bi Tian. Benyi said,""Let's see what Bi Tian has to say.”When Bi Tian heard this, he quickly withdrew his gaze from Ao Xue and said softly,""This place is full of disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy. Let's go take a walk in the forest.”Ben Yi and Undeserved nodded slightly without any objections.
Yun Feng brought Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongfei over. After everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, Bi Tian suggested that they take a walk in the forest. Thus, the group of eight turned around and walked towards the forest on the left, slowly disappearing into the dense forest.
Sunlight shone through the sparse branches and leaves like thousands of light swords, shining into the forest and illuminating the surroundings. In an open space, a group of eight people were chatting enthusiastically. "Brother Li, I wonder if you guys know who your opponents are?"”This question stumped the four people from Yi Garden. Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. They still didn't know how the candidates for this competition would be arranged.
Seeing Li Hongfei's silence, Lu Yun couldn't help but say,""In this competition, I only know that I'll be facing senior Bi Tian in the afternoon, and Ling Chen will be facing senior Ben Yi. As for the others, I don't know.”
Li Hongfei and Zhang Aoxue's expressions changed slightly as they thought of something. They looked at him silently. " That's right." Bi Tian sighed." Our match is in the afternoon. I really wanted to avoid it, but unfortunately, I couldn't." To be honest, our two gardens have always had a good relationship. We really don't want to fight each other, but unfortunately, there's no other way. Lu Yun, let's go with our own abilities in the afternoon's competition. No matter what the result is, we are still good friends in private. What do you think?”
Ben Yi said to Ling Chen,"We're the same. We'll rely on our own abilities, and we'll still be friends in private."”
Lu Yun and Ling Chen smiled as they nodded. They looked at everyone and said softly,"You're right. Regardless of the result of this competition, we'll all be friends in the future. It's fate that we're gathered here this time. We should cherish it. Isn't that right, senior brothers?”Everyone except Ao Xue nodded in agreement.
"Brother Wuwang, can you tell us about the situation of this competition?" Li Hongfei asked. We haven't received the notice from the Sect Master, so we don't know yet.”
Undeserved glanced at him and sighed slightly.""To be honest, this competition is relatively disadvantageous for your Yi Garden. This time, Lu Yun is going up against Bi Tian, Junior Sister Zhang is going up against Zhan Yu, Ling Chen is going up against Ben Yi, and you're going up against Jian Wuchen, who no one wants to meet. As for me, I'll face Du Li from the Confucian Garden and Cang Yue against my junior brother Jie Chan.”
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the five people from the Yi Garden changed drastically. Clearly, this was what they expected. Everyone looked at each other with worry in their eyes. Lin Yunfeng said unhappily," It's really strange. Why do we always run into the Heavenly Sword School in the Yi Garden?" First, it was me and Lu Yun, and now it's Senior Sister and Senior Brother. How strange.”When Lu Yun and the other three heard this, they all sighed slightly. It was obvious that they agreed with this.
Looking at Li Hongfei, Lu Yun said softly,""Good luck, Senior Brother. The four of us will work hard together in the afternoon. There will definitely be results. Don't worry, we'll support you. You'll definitely win. Definitely!" After saying that, she looked at him with a comforting gaze.
Li Hongfei's expression returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He looked at Lu Yun and patted his shoulder."I won't give up. If I lose, you, Ling Chen, and Ao Xue, remember to work hard. Someone must enter the top 6 and bring glory to our Yi Garden. The competition was always cruel. No one could back down unless they gave up on their own accord. Otherwise, they had to fight bravely. Even if he lost, he would know where the gap was. That way, he would have a chance to catch up in the future.”After saying that, he looked at everyone and lowered his head slightly in deep thought.
Zhang Aoxue looked at Li Hongfei with a hint of regret in her eyes, as if she was sighing for him meeting Jian Wuchen. Aoxue was very clear about his cultivation. As long as he didn't meet Jian Wuchen, he would definitely be able to enter the top six. Because he was the most outstanding person in Yi Garden. What a pity.
Wu Wang looked at Li Hongfei and said softly,""The easy one has changed. Cultivators can't be too obsessed with worldly affairs. On the surface, the reason why the Six Academies Martial Arts Symposium was held was to determine who was better. In fact, it was also a test for every cultivator. In order to cross the three realms, other than having great strength, the most important thing was the heart, enlightenment, and the determination and perseverance to constantly pursue the truth. If you lost to Jian Wuchen today, you would have learned a lot from it. That would be a great gain for you. However, if you won and gained nothing, what would you gain apart from your reputation?”
Everyone fell into deep thought. Lu Yun looked at Undeserved. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Ben Yi and Undeserved both had unique auras. They both had something in common. That was the essence of Buddhism, a deep understanding of Buddhism. Perhaps their cultivation was inferior to his, but in some aspects, he was also inferior to them.
Bi Tian didn't care about what Wu Wang said. He just secretly looked at Zhang Aoxue with a burning gaze. Lin Yunfeng, who was watching him from the side, understood what he was thinking. Lin Yunfeng laughed in his heart. Other than Lu Yun, no one else was related to him. Hehe, such a beautiful senior sister, do you think Lu Yun is a fool? How can I let you snatch her away?”
When Li Hongfei heard Wu Wang's words, he was slightly shocked and looked at him in shock. The two of them looked at each other in silence. Suddenly, Li Hongfei revealed a rare smile. He stepped forward and held Wu Wang's hand, smiling as he nodded and thanked him.
Everyone looked at the two of them strangely, as if they had sensed something between them. However, he wasn't very clear about the specifics.
Looking at the sky, Zhang Aoxue's elegant voice sounded,""It's getting late. Everyone should go back. There's still a competition in the afternoon.”After saying that, she turned around indifferently, and her moving figure danced in the breeze. That beautiful figure and enchanting back deeply attracted Bi Tian's eyes.
Lu Yun looked at Bi Tian, and a strange light appeared in his eyes, as if he was hinting at something. Ling Chen also looked at Ben Yi. Turning around, seeing Li Hongfei pulling Wu Wang away, Lu Yun and Ling Chen looked at each other and smiled. It was likely that only the two of them would understand something. He gave Yun Feng a look, and the three of them also flashed and followed.
Ben Yi looked at Ling Chen's back, a look of contemplation in his eyes. Raising his head, Ben Yi looked at Bi Tian, who was still in a daze. He sighed slightly and patted his shoulder. His body was like flowing water as he silently disappeared out of the forest.
