A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 273 Crazy Woman

The names on the turntable had already been replaced by the yamen runners.

Qin Shuban turned the dial vigorously, and it squeaked and finally stopped at a name. It was Tao Rong.

"The champion of the first stage is Tao Rong!"

As Qin Shuban's voice sounded, Tao Rong, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with brilliance!

He took the weapon in his hand with the blade broken in four or five places, leaped forward, and stood firmly on the plum blossom pile again!
Tao Rong's eyes were clear and he looked energetic. After this period of meditation, his internal energy had obviously recovered a lot.

"A life-and-death battle in stages, regardless of life or death! The champion of the first stage is Tao Rong! If there are any challengers, please step out!"

The scene was completely silent. Most of the other eight people were sitting cross-legged to rest without even raising their eyes. Xiao Yu just stood there holding a knife, glancing at Tao Rong on the plum blossom pile, and did not move!
Three breaths later, Qin Shuban shouted again.

Three breaths later, after Qin Shuban shouted for the last time, still none of the remaining eight people came out!
Although Tao Rong was defeated by Duan Rong, his realm and strength were there, and he had rested for such a long time. Although the blade in Tao Rong's hand was cracked in several places, no one dared to risk his own life to test the cracked blade!
This is the realm of great success, defeating the enemy without fighting!
Tao Rong stood there, looking down at the people below the stage. But when his gaze swept over Duan Rong at the far end, his proud look suddenly disappeared!
"Tao Rong, advance to a registered disciple!"

Following Qin Shuban's announcement, Tao Jiusong's expression in the audience finally eased. He originally thought that Tao Rong had already achieved the great success realm, and it would be easy for him to advance to a registered disciple. However, he did not expect that his only son would be defeated by Duan Rong, who came from a poor family, in the third round of melee.

Tao Jiusong had been worried after Tao Rong suffered a setback. But when he saw Tao Rong finally advance, he finally felt relieved and his eyes were filled with complacency again.

Tao Rong jumped off the Zeyingtai, walked over and stood beside Duan Rong.

Duan Rong saw Tao Rong approaching him and said with a somewhat embarrassed look: "Brother Tao is so awesome! Brother Tao is standing there, and no one dares to challenge you!"

Tao Rong laughed and said, "Isn't that still a defeat to Brother Duan? Brother Duan, if there is a chance, I would like to fight you again!"

Duan Rong's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he thought to himself: Could this guy be targeting me?

Although Duan Rong thought so in his heart, he still had a mild smile on his face and said, "That... is easy to say, easy to say."

Tao Rong looked at Duan Rong and felt a chill in his heart. He had never met Duan Rong before and had never even heard of his name. However, Duan Rong was at the Great Accomplishment level and his mind was calm and experienced. He did not expect that after a few words, Duan Rong would turn out to be so worldly and slick.

There were originally only four spots in the staged life and death challenge tournament, and Tao Rong directly took one, leaving only three spots left.

Qin Shuban walked to the turntable and started to spin the second round of champions!

The dial stopped on a name.

Qin Shuban frowned and said in a deep voice, "The champion of the second stage is Shen Mizhi!"

Shen Mizhi's hair was a little messy, and there were faint traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, but her internal energy had almost recovered after resting!

Shen Mizhi suddenly jumped up and landed lightly on the selection platform like a big bird.

Secretary Qin glanced at Shen Yanliu who was in the audience, and suddenly shouted, "The second stage champion is Shen Mizhi! Challenger, please step out!"

"The second stage champion is Shen Mizhi! Challengers, please step out!"

Qin Shuban's speaking speed obviously increased!
The previous time when he called out to Tao Rong, he would pause for three breaths each time to give the other challengers time to think, but this time, the pause in between Qin Shuban's calls was less than a breath.

Shen Mizhi's strength is not weak, and her identity is special. She is the jewel in the crown of the county lord Shen Yanliu. In the challenge, life and death are not a matter of life and death. If she is really injured or even accidentally kills Miss Shen, these people are all children of aristocratic families. How can they survive in Xiangu County in the future?

These noble families are most aware of Shen Yanliu's methods. He worships you like a god every day, but he is still suppressing you. If anyone dares to kill his daughter, Shen Yanliu will uproot his entire family in Xiangu County!
These people were all hesitating, but Qin Shuban shouted very quickly, and after the third shout, it was over.

Xiao Yu was also hesitant. Among the nine people who had experienced life and death, except for Tao Rong, only Shen Mizhi and her were the strongest.

If she doesn't go, Shen Mizhi will most likely take another spot. Then, there will be seven people competing for two spots, and she will definitely face a round-robin battle!
But she was also a little afraid of Shen Mizhi's identity!

Just as Xiao Yu was hesitating, Qin Shuban was about to finish shouting for the third time. Xiao Yu moved his shoulders and was about to step out.

But at this moment, a burly figure beside Xiao Yu suddenly took a step forward and stepped out of the line!
Xiao Yu glanced at the man and stopped!
The person who stepped forward was Fan Baolong!

Fan Baolong lost to Xia Shuangshuang in the first round of three rounds of melee. After that, he won two games in a row and entered the stage life-and-death battle!

His strength is not weak. He lost to Xia Shuangshuang in the first game because Xia Shuangshuang's spear had the advantage of being a weapon on the plum blossom pile. Didn't Shen Mizhi also lose to Xia Shuangshuang?
Fan Baolong was very clear in his mind. If he didn't come out this time, he would most likely have to face Xiao Yu, who was even more powerful, and it would most likely be a round-robin battle.

Although challenging Shen Mizhi might bring revenge to the family from Shen Yanliu, the temptation of becoming a registered disciple of the sect was too great.

The moment Fan Baolong stood up, Shen Yanliu's face turned as black as charcoal. He turned his head to look at a person sitting in the corner of the third row of the audience seats. Fan Baolong's father Fan Cen was sitting there.

Fan Cen opened a pawn shop in Xiangu County and had some dealings with various parties. He noticed the gaze shot at him by Shen Yanliu, but still pretended to be calm and looked towards Zeyingtai.

Fan Baolong had already grabbed the broad-bladed sword and jumped onto the Zeyingtai!
He is the only one who has stepped forward, so there is no need for a round-robin battle, and therefore, there is no need to draw long and short lots!

The segmented life and death challenge will decide the winner, as well as life and death!

Fan Baolong held a sword in his hand, and his broad-bladed sword flashed a cold light under the warm spring sun!
The two of them started fighting in an instant. Shen Mizhi's sword technique, the clear sword shadows, flowed around Fan Baolong like gurgling water.

Fan Baolong wields a horizontal sword, opening and closing it vigorously!
The tip of Shen Mizhi's sword touched the blade of Fan Baolong's knife. Fan Baolong's knife momentum sank, and he chopped towards Shen Mizhi's waist. Shen Mizhi saw the knife pointed at her waist, but she didn't retreat. With a flash of cold light, she stabbed towards Fan Baolong's throat!
Fan Baolong dodged sideways, and Shen Mizhi made a sword flower and changed the stab into a chop!
The two of them were fighting on the plum blossom pile for a while, and they were entangled in fighting back and forth!

Obviously they are evenly matched!
The eyes of the people in the viewing gallery showed more and more intense interest, because they knew that in a life-and-death battle, only when the two sides were evenly matched, would people die!
If one is strong and the other is weak, it will be less likely for people to die!
Right now, the two people on the stage are fighting each other with equal strength. If they want to win, they have to fight for their lives!
Shen Mizhi's eyes became calmer and calmer. After Xia Shuangshuang's miserable defeat and the life-and-death situation at this moment, her frantic heart suddenly calmed down.

The sword shadows in his hands became more and more complex and agile!

At this moment, like a pop sound, Shen Mizhi's inner self underwent an instant and silent change, and the layer of window paper was broken!
She actually broke through!

At that moment, Shen Mizhi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a powerful force surged through her Dantian meridians...

"This is……"

Many people noticed the changes in Shen Mizhi. Her figure, speed, and strength were all different in an instant! "She has reached the Great Perfection Realm!" Shen Yanliu, who was sitting in the viewing booth, suddenly showed an ecstatic look on his cold face.

Not only did people with discerning eyes notice the changes in Shen Mizhi, but Fan Baolong, who was in the battle, felt it even more obviously and was more frightened!

His internal energy was originally weaker than Shen Mizhi's, but he made up for the slight difference in internal energy by using his vigorous and powerful martial arts. However, at this moment, every time the weapons touched, his knuckles trembled and were about to crack!

And the murderous intent in Shen Mizhi's eyes became more and more intense!
Shen Mizhi's clothes fluttered, and she fought harder and harder!

Suddenly, there was a clang and a burst of sparks, and Fan Baolong's broad-bladed sword flew backwards. Shen Mizhi sneered evilly.

"I'll take your head as a sacrifice to my great achievement!"

Shen Mizhi's sword was as sharp as water, cutting across Fan Baolong's throat. The sword's blade flashed with internal energy, and blood spurted out from Fan Baolong's neck. His severed head rolled on the ground under the spring sunshine!
Shen Mizhi stood on the plum blossom pile, half of her face was covered with blood spots, and she had a cruel and satisfied smile on her face...

The crowd watching was silent... Even if they didn't know martial arts, they could see that Shen Mizhi had knocked Fan Baolong's weapon away, and killed him in a situation where she was sure to win.

"Crazy woman!" Ximen Kankan stood there, looking at Shen Mizhi on the plum blossom pile, and muttered.

At this moment, Fan Cen rushed down from the viewing seats.

His lips trembled as he held Fan Baolong's dusty head on the ground and cried out sadly, "Baolong..."

Fan Cen held Fan Baolong's head and jumped onto the plum blossom pile, cursing, "You crazy girl, give me back my son's life! I will fight you to the death!"

At this moment, a figure flashed in the audience seats, and Shen Yanliu leaped over like a big bird across the river, and slapped Fan Cen's dantian with one palm.

Fan Cen flew backwards, blood gushing out of his mouth and nose, and he was still cursing!
Shen Yanliu said coldly: "Fan Cen, you have disrupted the Elite Selection Meeting and are guilty of conspiracy to rebel. You will be thrown into death row!"

Several yamen runners rushed over and arrested Fan Cen, whose dantian was destroyed!
Shen Yanliu stood there, and suddenly turned his head, looking coldly at Qin Shuban who was standing there.

Qin Shuban was startled, and suddenly came to his senses. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Shen Mizhi has been promoted to a registered disciple of the sect!"

Shen Yanliu looked at Shen Mizhi, whose face was covered in blood. His expression was not very good either. He said coldly, "Wipe your face!"

After Shen Yanliu finished speaking, he jumped off the Zeyingtai!
Shen Mizhi looked at Shen Yanliu's back, sneered, jumped off the plum blossom pile, and walked towards Duan Rong, Ximen Kankan and the others!
Ximen Kankan shuddered as he looked at Shen Mizhi approaching. At that moment, he felt a sense of panic as if an evil ghost was approaching!
Xia Shuangshuang took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Mizhi. Shen Mizhi took it expressionlessly and wiped off the blood spots on her face.

Half of Fan Baolong's body fell under the plum blossom pile, stuck between two piles, and the smell of blood filled the entire selection platform...

The remaining six people all looked very ugly!
They still have six people, but there are only two spots left. The remaining two rounds will definitely be a round-robin battle! The six people are all very solemn!
Shuban Qin had already walked to the turntable again and turned it!

The one Qin Shuban transferred out this time is the champion of the third stage!

No one wants to transfer their own name!
In a round-robin battle, the champion will suffer a loss!

The old turntable swayed and stopped at a name!

"The third stage champion, Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Yu's eyes moved and he jumped onto the Zeyingtai!

There were five other people in the audience: Jiang Qingyu, Qiu Tong, Yue Feng, Luo Zhoucheng, and Gui Zong.

Jiang Qingyu looked at Xiao Yu standing on the plum blossom pile with a hesitant expression, but the people around him were actually not weak either!
Jiang Qingyu's character lacks decisiveness. Although he knows that the longer he delays, the more unfavorable the situation may become, he may even become the champion in the next stage!
At this moment, Luo Zhoucheng had already stood up. Xiao Yu glanced over and looked at Luo Zhoucheng who had stepped out of the line.

Qin Shuban's third call has already sounded.

"The third stage champion is Xiao Yu! There is a challenger, please step out!"

Jiang Qingyu was just about to take a step forward, but Qiu Tong beside him stepped forward before him!

Jiang Qingyu then retracted his raised foot!
Qiu Tong also stepped out, and the situation changed. He would rather enter the next stage with the remaining Yue Feng and Gui Zong!

That’s better. Now let’s have a four-player round-robin battle!

Qiu Tong is not weak either. Although he lost to Duan Rong in the first match, he won the next two matches!
Qiu Tong's eyelids twitched on his thin and pale face. He stepped out at the last moment, not wanting to enter the next four-man round-robin. But the moment he stepped out, he saw Jiang Qingyu retract his raised foot.

In other words, if he had not stepped out just now, Jiang Qingyu would have stepped out!

"The third stage, two challengers! Luo Zhoucheng, Qiu Tong!"

"Please draw the long and short lots!"

Qin Shuban handed his hand to Luo Zhoucheng who came out first. The stick was hidden in Qin Shuban's sleeve, with only the tip of the stick sticking out from between his fingers!
Luo Zhoucheng's eyes flashed, he pinched a lot and pulled it out!

His face lit up with joy; it was a long sign!
Secretary Qin directly handed another stick to Qiu Tong. The length of this stick was only half of the stick in Luo Zhoucheng's hand!
Short-term visas fight first! Long-term visas fight later!
In other words, in the order of the life and death battle within the section, Xiao Yu will fight with Qiu Tong, and after the winner is determined, he will fight with Luo Zhou Cheng!

Luo Zhoucheng can be said to have taken advantage of everything!
A hint of ferocity flashed across Qiu Tong's pale face. If he wanted to win, he had to defeat Xiao Yu first and then defeat Luo Zhoucheng!
Either he just admits defeat, or he has to fight for his life!
Qiu Tong turned his head and looked towards the audience seats!

His father, Qiu Yan, the owner of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School, noticed his gaze and his body trembled noticeably.

Qiu Tong could tell from Qiu Yan's expression that his father wanted him to step down!

But he doesn't want to retreat yet!

Qiu Tong flashed and climbed onto the Selecting Ying Terrace. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but Fan Baolong's body was right under his feet. The smell of blood went straight into his nose...
