Chapter 77: The Competition Is Over

The disciple competition continued.

There were no more surprising situations in the subsequent competitions. Under the drawing of lots controlled by the leader of Lingxian Sect, the disciples with higher realms basically won. However, the last match, the duel between two disciples of the sixth level of foundation building period, was very exciting. It ended only when one side was exhausted. It was the most suspenseful match in the entire disciple competition.

With the end of this duel, the fifty duels were also completed.

The fifty disciples who defeated their opponents and won the quota gathered in the center of the square at this moment.

"This is the final ranking of this disciple competition. The disciples who entered the top fifty can go to the leader peak to receive the spirit stone!"

On the high platform, the leader of Lingxian Sect waved his hand.

A long scroll was spread out, and fifty names and scores were clearly arranged on it.

The first two tied for first place, and it was no surprise that Xu Ming and Yu Shuier, who scored 99 points, won.

Following closely behind were the chief disciples of several elders of Lingxian Sect, whose scores all reached more than 90.

Then there was Wu Xiaopang's 88 points, which just squeezed into the tenth place.

Three disciples, all in the top ten!

Seeing this scene, the people present couldn't help but look at Zhang Yun on the high platform with amazement in their eyes.

An elder and three disciples entered the top ten. Looking at the previous disciples' competitions of Lingxian Sect, it was the first time in history!

Looking at the name of Zhang Yun on the stone pillar next to him, who finally ranked first with a full score of 100 points. Even those who didn't like Zhang Yun had to admit it.

Well deserved!

From the disciple-taking ceremony to now, in just less than two months, three evil disciples have been trained...

The elders present believed that if they were in their place, it would be difficult to train one, let alone three!

Zhang Yun didn't care about the ranking at the moment, because it was already determined, and he was thinking about the subsequent stage of condensing the golden elixir.

Before the disciples' competition, Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang reached the eighth and fifth levels of the foundation-building period respectively with the help of the Qi-Gathering Tower. The energy returned by this made the golden elixir in his dantian almost as big as a fist.

He could feel that it was not far from being able to completely condense!

Next, he would absorb some more energy and start condensing after some cooperation.

"This year's sect competition will be officially held in the central part of Nanyunzhou in the thirteenth day. Next, we will rest for five days. Five days later, we will officially set off!"

At this time, with the words of the leader of the Lingxian Sect, the disciples' competition was officially declared over.

Zhang Yun exhaled, jumped down from the high platform, and came to Xu Ming and the other two in the field.

"Master!"

The three of them immediately came forward.

"Well done!"

Zhang Yun gave them a thumbs up and praised them generously: "You were all great today. If I were to give you a score, it would be full marks!"

Xu Ming and the other two smiled.

As young boys and girls, they still hoped to hear such praise from Zhang Yun.

"This is the reward that the teacher prepared for you, take a look!"

Zhang Yun took out three storage rings that he had prepared in advance and handed them to the three people.

Xu Ming and the other two were stunned.

"What is this?"

When they saw the things inside, their eyes lit up: "Flying sword!!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three flying swords of different colors appeared in front of them.

"These three flying swords were carefully selected by the master, and they can be matched with your spiritual energy. Before, I focused on cultivation and didn't have time to teach you how to fly with swords. Today, the master will formally teach you how to fly with swords!"

Zhang Yun said with a smile, flipped his hand and took out a flying sword, and demonstrated while saying: "You have all established your foundation, and it is not difficult for you to use spiritual energy to attach. The key to flying a sword is to attach spiritual energy, attaching spiritual energy to the flying sword in this way. Then..."

After a simple demonstration of a wave of flying swords, Zhang Yun smiled and said: "The overall process should not be difficult for you. Try it yourself, don't fly too high at the beginning, try it in the air three or four meters!"

"Understood, Master!"

Hearing this, Xu Ming and the other two couldn't wait to try it.

Seeing Zhang Yun and others learning to fly swords at the side of the venue, many foundation-building disciples present had their mouths twitching.

Damn, how fast are you breaking through? You even forgot to learn to fly swords?

They are at the fifth and eighth levels of the foundation building stage, or even at the peak, but they have just started to learn...

For the new disciples who joined the sect at the previous disciple-recruiting ceremony, they all looked at Xu Ming with envy.

At that time, Xu Ming was just a useless person in their eyes, far inferior to them. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, he has become the number one disciple in the sect!

Then they looked at themselves, who were still at the Qi Refining stage, and felt a little bitter for a while.

How could the gap be so big when people compared?

At the same time, they felt a little regretful.

Perhaps if they had become disciples of the Ninth Elder at the disciple-recruiting ceremony, they would have been able to reach the foundation building stage, not to mention Xu Ming at this moment?

After all, among Zhang Yun's three disciples, even the worst one, Wu Xiaopang, has already reached the fifth level of the foundation building stage.

The more I think about them, the more uncomfortable I feel.

Especially Huang Yong.

At the disciple-recruiting ceremony, the first person Zhang Yun asked to accept was him!

But he chose the tenth elder Meng Zhong at that time.

If he had chosen the ninth elder at that time...

Thinking of this, Huang Yong suddenly understood the escaped junior brother Nie Zhi.

"Why are you still standing there? Come over here quickly!!"

At this time, a cold snort suddenly came from his ear.

Looking at Meng Zhong with a gloomy expression, Huang Yong trembled, dared not look over there, and hurried back.

Meng Zhong was in a bad mood when he saw this. Before, Nie Zhi failed to change his sect and ran away, which was a great shame in his eyes. Now seeing that Huang Yong seemed to have the same idea, he was very annoyed. At the same time, he was secretly alert, and there must not be another example like Nie Zhi.

Looking at Zhang Yun who was teaching his disciples to fly the sword not far away, his face was gloomy, but he soon thought of something and hummed in his heart.

Wait, you won't be able to jump for too long!

Thinking of taking all the disciples away immediately.

Zhang Yun felt Meng Zhong's gaze, glanced at his departing back, and thought to himself: "The next sect competition is a good opportunity to get a head!"

Meng Zhong has a disciple who has also entered the top 50. As a master, he must go to this sect competition. At that time, he will finish him off!

Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt a gaze falling on him, and he looked in another direction.

There, the elegant Third Elder of the Lingxian Sect was looking at him with a smile on his face, "Ninth Elder, are you interested in entering the peak for a cup of tea?"

The venue is at the foot of the third peak, and the other party's residence is up the mountain road next to it.

Zhang Yun glanced at him and shook his head: "Sorry, Third Elder. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more!"

"That's a pity!"

The Third Elder of Lingxian Sect still had that elegant smile on his face, "If you have time in the future, Elder Nine, you can come anytime. I will always keep the tea from the Third Peak for you!"

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and turned to go up to the Third Peak.

Looking at his back, Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was a little confused about the Third Elder who had hidden his strength.

In addition, he was not sure whether the Sect Master knew that the other party had hidden his strength. If he knew, it would be fine. If he didn't know...

Zhang Yun took a deep breath.

He was thinking in his heart, should he tell the Sect Master about this?

But he shook his head after thinking about it.

After all, the Sect Master wanted to ask him how he knew, and he couldn't answer. A peak Foundation Establishment Stage saw a Yuanying Stage, which was suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

He didn't want his golden finger to be exposed!

"I have to break through the Golden Core as soon as possible!"

Zhang Yun thought.

When they reach the Jindan stage, the Immortal Eye Technique will be able to see through those Yuanying stage!

Coming back from his thoughts, Zhang Yun looked at Xu Ming and the other two who had already tried to fly in the air with their swords, and said: "Come, let the master take you to fly for a while!"

Xu Ming and the other two nodded.

Zhang Yun immediately flew up on his sword and controlled the speed to fly out of the square.

Xu Ming and the other two also flew up on their swords and followed closely behind him.

Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang followed closely, but Yu Shui'er was gradually pulled away. As a mermaid, she was not used to the feeling of flying in the air. The whole action was very cautious, and she didn't dare to speed up at all!

Zhang Yun noticed this scene, and his eyes swept forward and pointed to a big tree: "Do you see the big tree in front? When we get there, the master will start to speed up. Fly all the way to the foot of the Sect Master Peak. The one who arrives last will be punished by the master!"

Xu Ming and the other two were nervous when they heard this, especially Yu Shui'er.

The tree was only ten meters away from Zhang Yun, and it was there in less than two seconds.

"Let's start!"

Before she could think about it, Zhang Yun had already started to speed up and rushed into the distance.

Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang also accelerated.

And she...

She was shaking a little while stepping on the flying sword, but she was a little anxious when she saw the three people pulling her further and further away, so she gritted her teeth.

I'll go for it!

As soon as the little foot stomped, a large amount of water spirit energy suddenly gathered on the flying sword, and it began to accelerate forward.

Yu Shui'er felt her body swaying from side to side as she stepped on the flying sword, as if she was about to fall off at any time. This sense of imbalance made her face pale, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

Just when she felt that she was about to fall off, she waited for a while and found that she was still standing well on the flying sword.

Her feet were wrapped in spirit energy and stood on the flying sword, completely connected. The imagined shaking feeling was just her upper body shaking.

It doesn't look like it will fall...

Yu Shui'er raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang who were slightly closer to her as she accelerated. Suddenly, she felt that she could surpass them!

At this moment, the water spirit burst out, driving the flying sword under her feet to draw a blue tail in the air and shoot forward quickly.

Before Xu Ming and the other person in front could react, they saw a blue stream of light passing by and far surpassed them.

"This..."

Xu Ming and Wu Xiaopang were shocked.

What's wrong with this Junior Sister Shui'er? She was just pulled away by them, why did she suddenly speed up?

Without thinking too much, the two hurriedly accelerated.

But they found that as they accelerated, the blue light that Yu Shui'er turned into in front of them continued to accelerate, and it was getting faster and faster. In their eyes, it was even about to catch up with the master!

"Oh my!"

Flying in the front, Zhang Yun also felt the fluctuation of the water spirit behind him. He was shocked by the blue light that was approaching like a sharp arrow. The spirit under his feet burst out and accelerated.

From 30% speed at the beginning, to 50% speed, and then to 70% speed...

In the end, he had to fly at full speed for a distance to prevent Yu Shui'er from catching up.

Arriving at the foot of the Zongzhu Peak, Zhang Yun couldn't help but exhale when he saw Yu Shui'er flying in front of him in less than two seconds.

This girl is crazy!

Just now, he saw that Yu Shui'er was slow, and it was purely psychological factors that made him afraid to speed up. So he deliberately made a victory or defeat to stimulate the opponent. Unexpectedly...

But it's not surprising when you think about it. Yu Shui'er is at the peak of the foundation-building stage. The magnificent water spirit energy brought to her by the top-grade water spirit root is enough to make her stronger than ordinary cultivators in any aspect that requires spirit energy.

"How is it?"

Zhang Yun looked at Yu Shui'er and asked.

Yu Shui'er's face was still flushed with excitement at this moment. Hearing this, she couldn't help but said, "Master, I want to try again!"

Zhang Yun smiled, "Then you can fly around twice more, just in time to wait for your two slow brothers!"

"Yeah!"

Yu Shui'er nodded, immediately flew up on the sword, turned into a blue stream of light, flying back and forth in the air, and was a little happy for a while.

Zhang Yun laughed and shook his head.

When you master something you are not familiar with, it does make people excited and want to try more.
