Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Yin You had no objection and readily agreed.

Just like that, the five of them headed forward together to the place where the academy competition was held.

On the way, Ji Jiu sent a telepathic message to Yin You:

"Fellow Daoist Yin You, did you offend that crazy Qi Tai?"

"Mrs. Qi?"

Yin You shook his head, but then he remembered something, "Oh, two months ago I met a guy named Qi Er."

He told Ji Jiu what happened that day.

Ji Jiu was a little helpless after hearing this: "That mad dog Qi Er relied on his brother to do evil things everywhere and bully other disciples. He probably thought that you, Daoist Fellow Yin You, were a disciple of the academy."

Obviously, she had heard about Qi Er's deeds a long time ago.

Yin You asked, "Hasn't he ever run into any obstacles when he does this?"

Ji Jiu nodded: "Of course I have encountered this, and I have been taught a lesson by many disciples, but his brother Qi Taiji is very protective of his brother, and he severely injured anyone who taught his brother a lesson, even if the opponent was a true disciple."

Yin You was somewhat curious: "Is Qi Tai so powerful?"

"Well, he already had the cultivation base of the peak of the Seventh Realm, and was ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking."

"Before?"

Yin You was keenly aware of her choice of words.

Ji Jiu's face also looked a little heavy: "He just broke through a few days ago, and now he is already an eighth-level cultivator."

Yin You narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this: "I see."

Ji Jiu's expression quickly returned to calm, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, he just broke through not long ago, and he certainly can't use the true strength of an eighth-level cultivator yet."

"And Daoist Fellow Zhu Yingqiu is here too."

As she spoke, her eyes turned to Zhu Yingqiu who was walking silently beside her.

Did she know how fierce this seemingly dull girl in black was? She had swept through the Chilian Dojo in the past two months and had already become a hot topic in the Chilian Dojo.

Yin You also smiled.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the academy competition was held.

Chapter 45: Chilian Fighting

The Chilian Dojo is extremely lively today. The seats on the platform are packed, and at a glance, all you can see are red and white.

Looking down from the high platform, one can see that the original free fighting arena in the center of the Chilian Dojo has been divided into eight areas. Each area is like a small Chilian Dojo. In the center of the area there is a huge fighting arena covering an area of ​​ten miles, which is large enough for cultivators to perform various spells, magical powers, martial arts and physical skills.

More than 30,000 monks participated in this academy competition, and they were randomly divided into eight areas.

The first round of the competition is called the Chilian Fighting. The monks from each area will fight one by one through random matching. The winner will get extra points and the loser will lose points.

After seven rounds of fighting, only the monks whose scores rank in the top 1,000 in the area will advance to the next round.

Yin You was standing in a corner of the due north area at this time, recalling the rules of the competition that he had heard from Ji Jiu a few days ago.

"Is this the Red Refining Token?"

Yin You lowered his head slightly and carefully looked at the token in his hand.

The token was golden red in color, with mountains, rivers, and vegetation depicted on the back, and the words "Chi Lian" engraved on the front.

This is the Chi Lian token that symbolizes the identity of a disciple of the Chi Lian Academy. The one in Yin You's hand was given to them by Ji Jiu at the request of Chang Jingyao.

Without the Red Refining Token, he would not be able to participate in the academy competition. This is what Ji Jiu said when he handed the token to him.

Yin You had already refined this token. Now he carefully sensed it and indeed felt that there was some inexplicable connection between the Chilian Token and the Chilian Dojo.

Yin You then put away the token and looked at the monks in his area. These people would be his opponents in this round of competition.

More than 3,000 monks were gathered or dispersed, sitting or standing, distributed throughout the north area.

Yin You took a casual glance and found that most of them were cultivators below the sixth realm, and only a few hundred people had reached above the sixth realm.

Among the hundreds of sixth- and seventh-level cultivators, there are several cultivators with extraordinary bearings, standing out like a crane among chickens, exuding a powerful aura.

These monks were a short-haired girl carrying a huge sword, a tall and strong man with a sturdy physique, and a handsome young man holding a spear.

Yin You was surprised to find that the handsome young man holding the spear was the opponent he met when he first participated in the free battle field two months ago.

Of course, what he didn't know was that the other strong man was Zhu Yingqiu's opponent at the time, and the tenth on the Heavenly List mentioned by Ji Jiu.

These three monks had obviously also observed all the monks present, and they all looked at Yin You.

They were all quite familiar with each other, except Yin You, who was a complete stranger and therefore attracted their attention.

The handsome young man was slightly stunned when he saw Yin You's face.

Yin You nodded slightly towards them as a greeting.

Seeing this, the three of them responded in turn.

Soon, a burly middle-aged man walked onto the stage, and his powerful aura reverberated throughout the entire north area:

"The first round of the academy competition, the Chilian battle, begins!"

hum...

As soon as he finished speaking, the red refining tokens on two monks trembled slightly, prompting them to go on stage and fight.

Yin You sat where he was, watching the fight between the two with great interest.

……

Northwest region.

Zhu Yingqiu was assigned to this area.

After feeling the red refining token on her body vibrate slightly, she stood up and walked to the platform.

Her opponent was a handsome young man holding a folding fan, and every move he made was graceful and elegant.

Seeing that his opponent was a very beautiful young girl, the handsome young man waved his folding fan and smiled gently:

"My name is Chu Chou, may I know what your name is, Junior Sister?"

Zhu Yingqiu had a dull expression and blank eyes. No one knew what she was thinking and it seemed that she did not hear what he said.

Seeing that she was standing there in a daze without saying anything, the handsome young man thought that this little sister was afraid, and smiled sympathetically:

"Junior sister, don't panic. Although I am a true disciple ranked 17th on the Heavenly Ranking... Of course, this is the ranking before I went into seclusion, but I was extremely measured in my actions and will not hurt you."

The handsome young man kept chattering.

Ten...nine...eight...seven...

The countdown to the game begins.

A divine light slowly lit up in Zhu Yingqiu's eyes.

"Hey, junior sister, you finally came back to your senses." The handsome young man's eyes lit up and the smile on his face became even wider.

Four…three…two…one…

Zhu Yingqiu held the scabbard in his left hand, tilting it slightly downward, and placed his right hand on the handle, slowly gripping it.

"Junior sister, are you a sword practitioner? It just so happens that senior brother also has some insights into the way of the sword..." the handsome young man continued.

zero……

boom!

The handsome young man flew backwards and slammed heavily into the spiritual energy wall at the edge of the fighting stage.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted immediately.

Zhu Yingqiu, who was still standing there without moving, became dull again and turned around and walked off the stage.

But the cultivators in the entire northwest region did not dare to underestimate her at all, and all of them looked solemn.

"Is this the unknown swordsman who has emerged as a rising star in the Chilian Dojo in the past few months?"

"As expected of her, she is still so silent and capable, and she cut down her opponent with one blow."

"It's because Chu Chou underestimated his opponent. Otherwise, with his cultivation in the late seventh realm, how could he lose so easily?"

"That's hard to say. This person has swept through the Chilian Dojo in the past few months, and most of the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking have been defeated by her."

"Hiss... is it so terrifying?"

……

The east area.

Xue Qingyou swung the sword and a sword intent flew out of the sword.

Opposite her, a tall man in heavy armor raised his shield with a serious expression.

Bang!

The sword intent actually penetrated the shield, heavy armor, and even the tall man's body, and directly slashed his soul.

The tall man's body swayed, and he immediately used his shield to support himself on the ground, barely avoiding falling down.

He raised his head with difficulty: "Thank you for your mercy."

Xue Qingyou returned to her seat with a calm expression. Her eyes were slightly empty as she began to guess about her uncle's current situation in the competition.

……

Due west area.

Ji Jiu was surrounded by blood-red aura and was fighting in close combat with a young man.

Neither of them used any weapons, but only used pure martial arts and physical skills to fight.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

During the battle, the young man's blood and energy continued to float up, being drawn by Ji Jiu's blood-colored aura and then absorbed into Ji Jiu's body.

Therefore, as time passed, the young man's expression became gradually listless, and his originally strong body gradually became thinner.

Ji Jiu, on the other hand, was full of energy and didn't look tired at all. He was even more energetic than before the game.

A gust of fist wind swept past.

Ji Jiu bent his body slightly to avoid the young man's horizontal punch, then seized the opportunity and threw an uppercut, hitting the young man's chin hard.

The young man tilted his head back and fell to the ground, never having the strength to get up again.

Ji Jiu walked off the stage smiling.

……

Due south area.

Mu Bai looked lazy, his eyes narrowed, as if he was still asleep.

"Mysterious!"

Opposite her, a young woman sneered, swung her arm, and hit Mu Bai with a long whip.

"Um……"

As if sensing the approaching danger, Mu Bai opened his eyes slightly, revealing a pair of dreamy sapphire eyes.

She glanced at the young woman lazily and casually, and the young woman's expression immediately became dull, and the hand waving the whip stopped in mid-air.

next moment.

"Cough cough cough..."

The young woman's face turned pale and she fell to her knees weakly.

She looked at Mu Bai with intense fear in her eyes, as if she had experienced countless tortures in the past moment.

However, Mu Bai's eyes had already been closed. She yawned lazily, then turned and walked off the stage.

hum...
