Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 132

Elder Jinshi patted his forehead, and said, "There is such a rule. There have been no suitable disciples for the past two years. I almost forgot if you didn't mention it."

"I agree, you can't have a circle without rules." Huo Yu deliberately glanced at Shui Jing.

Shui Jing kept a sullen face and said nothing.

He actually remembered this rule, and deliberately didn't mention it just now.

It was not easy for Zhao Lin to reach the first level of the Qi realm at the age of 17, so it was naturally impossible for him to put in too much effort in actual combat.

Let him compete with the disciples of the Xingyun Sect who are several years older and whose cultivation base is two levels higher, there is no chance of winning at all.

Huo Yu turned the jade wrench finger in his hand, with a relaxed expression, "The disciples from the outer court will choose Shi Jiang Yong and Li Ying, what do you think, Brother Shui Jing?"

Shui Jing ignored him, but his face turned even darker.

There are thousands of disciples in the outer court, and it is impossible for him to know all of them, but these two disciples just performed well in the quarterly competition of the outer court, which left a deep impression on him.

Shi Jiangyong practiced "Kirin Strength" and was famous for his strength, while Li Ying was good at "snake legs" and was agile and tricky.

When low-level martial artists fight, sometimes there is a situation where boxing and kung fu are restrained. Huoyu chooses one strong and one fast, which basically blocks the possibility of accidental misses.

Elder Jin Shi saw that no one objected, so he said, "Then it's settled! Kong Cang and Han Yang passed, and Zhao Lin will go through another round of competition."

"Ask him what he means. If you don't want to challenge, you can go to the outer court with the others. Xuan Cheng, go and inform."

"Yes."

Hu Xuancheng responded, turned and walked out of the hall.

When everyone in the yard saw Hu Xuancheng coming out, they immediately stopped talking and looked at him intently.

Hu Xuancheng smiled and cupped his hands, "Kong Cang, Han Yang, congratulations to both of you."

Both Kong Cang and Han Yang breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

Except for Zhao Lin, everyone else looked sad.

"You don't have to be discouraged. Although you can't enter the Elephant Dance Academy, the gate of the outer courtyard is still open to you."

Hu Xuancheng looked at the others, and said seriously: "The journey of martial arts is long, as long as you practice hard, you still have the opportunity to directly enter the inner court from the outer court. There are many such examples."

"Zhao Lin, you stay here too."

"Okay." Zhao Lin said calmly.

Although the hall door was closed just now, with his hearing ability, he could hear the conversation of several elders inside clearly, and he knew the result in advance, so he felt calm.

"Why did he stay?"

The five disciples who were not selected looked at Zhao Lin at the same time, and their disappointment immediately turned into anger.

Zhang Zhiyuan said unconvinced: "Senior brother Hu, we have no objection to Kong Cang and Han Yang, how can he stay with a mere aura?"

Yao Lirong sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, he just hit Liuhequan, which must have been inherited from outside sects. You are biased towards your own people!"

Hu Xuancheng was not angry either, and said kindly: "This is the decision of the elders. It is inconvenient for me to disclose it, but in order to avoid your misunderstanding, I will explain a few words."

"Zhao Lin's roots are in the upper middle school. Among the eight of you, he and Kong Cang are the best, and he is only 17 years old."

"According to the rules of the Dancing Elephant Academy, if he can defeat two disciples from the outer courtyard with a third-level aura in a row, he will be selected."

A few people were speechless when they heard this, and there were still two disciples who challenged the third level of Qi Realm. If Zhao Lin could really do this, it would indeed be able to silence others.

Yao Lirong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Can we watch from the sidelines?"

Hu Xuancheng raised his eyebrows, and there was anger in his voice, "Why, do you think the competition is fake?"

Yao Lirong quickly lowered her head and looked at the ground, "I dare not, I just want to learn more."

Even she didn't believe this, let alone other people, but no one said anything, and she wanted to see how things turned out.

Hu Xuancheng took a deep breath, "I can't decide on this matter, I will report to the elder when I go back."

Speaking of this, his expression slowed down, and he said to Zhao Lin: "Junior brother Zhao, do you agree to compete with the disciples from the outer court?"

"Agreed." Zhao Lin nodded.

Hu Xuancheng called the disciples stationed in front of the pavilion and asked them to find Shi Jiangyong and Li Ying, and then walked into the hall without looking back.

The atmosphere in the yard was a bit awkward, and the unselected disciples were a little embarrassed. They seemed to be holding Zhao Lin back by making such a fuss.

Zhao Lin looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if nothing happened.

Only Kong Cang and Han Yang had nothing to do with them, looking Zhao Lin up and down, with the intention of watching the fun in their hearts.

"Nonsense, throw them out!"

In the hall, after hearing Hu Xuancheng's words, Huoyu shouted angrily.

Hu Xuancheng stood still and glanced at Elder Jinshi.

"never mind."

Elder Jinshi waved his hand, "This matter is related to the reputation of the sect, so why not show it to them in an upright manner? Just to be a witness, so as not to go out and make irresponsible remarks."

Hu Xuancheng was ordered to go out and tell the eight people in the yard the news.

"The elder agreed, and the two disciples from the outer courtyard will arrive in a while."

"By the way, one of these two disciples is 22 years old and the other is 23 years old. They both broke through to the third level of Qi Realm two years ago, and they were also ranked in the top ten in the outer court competition last month. There is no doubt about their strength!"

The disciples present looked at Zhao Lin tacitly, thinking in their hearts that it was impossible for him to win.

Fifteen to twenty-five is the golden age for practicing martial arts, and there is a big gap between one and two years old, not to mention that the two are five or six years older than Zhao Lin.

Yao Lirong knew that Hu Xuancheng's words were meant for herself, so she hurriedly said: "Thank you, Senior Brother Hu, my junior sister is ignorant, I offended you just now, I hope you will forgive me."

"It's okay." Hu Xuancheng's face turned pale.

Not long after, two disciples wearing outer courtyard practice uniforms walked into the courtyard together.

One of them was tall and strong, with a leopard head around eyes and a short beard under his chin, while the other had clear features and handsome features.

Seeing Hu Xuancheng, the two clasped their fists together and said, "Senior Brother Hu."

Hu Xuancheng nodded, "Do you know what's going on here?"

The two said in unison: "I know."

"Come with me."

Hu Xuancheng led the crowd into the hall, saluted the five elders and said, "Elders, everyone is here."

Elder Jinshi nodded and said, "Hu Xuancheng, you can preside over it."

"Yes……"

The field in the center of the hall was originally used for competitions, and a rectangle six feet wide and nine feet long was specially paved with white bricks.

Newcomers such as Kong Cang and Han Yang consciously retreated to the sidelines.

Hu Xuancheng tapped the field with his toes, and said to Zhao Lin: "Xingyun Zong complies with the rules. If you fall off the field, fall to the ground, or take the initiative to admit defeat, you will be considered a failure."

Zhao Lin nodded in understanding.

Hu Xuancheng looked at Shi Jiangyong and Li Ying, "Which of you two will compete first?"

Shi Jiangyong said first, "I'll come first!"

Seeing Zhao Lin's young face, he couldn't help feeling jealous.

At the beginning, I also wanted to enter the Dancing Elephant Academy, but unfortunately I couldn't get my wish.

It would be a great joy to prevent these geniuses from entering the Elephant Dance Theater with your own hands.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Hu Xuancheng slapped both palms and gave way to the field, and said again: "Leave a line for your subordinates, and you can't make any more moves after the winner is determined."

Zhao Lin and Shi Jiangyong stood facing each other, holding each other's fists.

"Outer court disciple Shi Jiangyong."

"Zhao Lin, please advise!"
