Netherworld Immortal

Two days later, the first phase of the arena competition for the recruitment of Evil Ghost Hall disciples kicked off.

According to regulations, the disciples participating in the competition this time are all elite disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect's true alchemy level and below, and most of them are selected from each branch hall. If they can stand out, it is also an honor for the branch hall.

There are also a small number of participants who signed up on their own initiative. Most of these disciples came here with the idea of ​​giving it a try and taking a big test on themselves.

But Xu Yang has his own definite purpose, to enter the Evil Ghost Dao to obtain the Nine Nether Crystal and Ghost Wood.

The standard of this competition is also very high in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and the venue of the competition is set at the "Battle Soul Platform" on the "Yunjiao Peak" of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

The main hall of the Heavenly Ghost Sect is located in the Luoyu Mountain Range, among which there are countless peaks, Yunjiao Peak is just one of them, it is a lone peak located in a wide basin, its highest point is not as high as the sea of ​​clouds, so it is called Yunjiao Peak.

There are 28 war spirit towers built on the top of Yunjiao Peak.

All the battle spirit platforms are square, more than two feet high and twenty feet wide.But the texture and materials are different.

Among them, the eight battle spirit platforms are all black, made of large pieces of black jade, with large pieces of gold leaf affixed on the edges, which are gorgeous and luxurious, and are called the golden battle spirit platform.It will only be activated when there are competitions between monks in the original soul state of the sect.

Another [-] fighting spirit platforms are made of silver, shining silver, and are called silver fighting spirit platforms.All important competitions in the sect, except for monks in the soul realm, were held on the silver battle soul stage.

This time the arena competition recruited by the disciples of the Evil Ghost Hall is set on these twenty silver battle spirit arenas.

The competition was hosted by Yu Cheng, the patriarch of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Yu Cheng wore a sky-high crown on his head, a beautiful black beard floating on his chest, and was wearing a purple-black brocade robe embroidered with pine and moon, sitting in the center of the VIP table.

Sitting on the left side is Dongfang Qianting, the Chief Elder of the Law Enforcement Court in a gray robe, and on the right side is Ning Tianqi, the master of Fenggui Hall.

A middle-aged deacon in black loudly announced the competition method: "This competition is divided into two groups. The disciples of the three major families, the Guigu family, the Yasha family, and the Wuchang family, are divided into one group. The disciples are in another group. The rules of the competition are that each group randomly selects 20 people as temporary challengers. The rest can challenge 20 people at will. The 20 people in the arena will be automatically selected for the next stage of the evil ghost trial."

The middle-aged deacon glanced at all the disciples participating in the competition, paused, and continued: "First of all, the competition between the disciples of the three major families will be held. I would like to ask the suzerain to personally select twenty temporary masters."

After finishing speaking, he respectfully handed the bronze compass used to verify the identity of the recruiting disciples during registration to the seat of suzerain Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng stretched out one hand, flicked his index finger seemingly lightly, and typed out a formula. The bronze array trembled slightly, and a white streamer spun out from the center, and the names of twenty people were clearly reflected in the streamer.

The middle-aged deacon took the bronze formation plate with both hands and placed it on his chest.

"Yasha Kuangyu, Wuchangling, Guigunan..."

Next, the disciples on the list boarded twenty silver fighting spirit platforms one after another.Each of these disciples had piercing eyes and high fighting spirit.

Behind each of them is one of the three major families, and the family glory is deeply imprinted in their blood.

Yu Cheng stood up from his seat, looked at the disciples on the ring opposite, stroked his black beard with one hand, and showed satisfaction on his face.Then he announced loudly: "This Evil Ghost Hall Disciple Recruitment Competition has officially begun."

The voice was as thick and high as a bell, and through the void, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.

The competition officially started, and the disciples who were ready to challenge went to the deacon's office under each ring to sign up, and some people jumped onto the ring to challenge one after another.

All of a sudden, the arenas were full of wind and clouds, fighting spirit was soaring to the sky, the sound of swords and guns clashing, the sound of violent blows of fists and feet, and the roar of magic spells sounded one after another.

Since the defensive restrictions around the arena have been activated, the outside of the arena was not affected by the competition.

In this competitive competition, except for a few high-ranking members of the sect who were invited to watch, only registered disciples were allowed to watch, but there were as many as five hundred people.

Among them, disciples from outside the three major families accounted for the majority, but they could only watch from a distance within the specified area, and Xu Yang and Mu Jin were among them.

"Look, the ring master on the third ring over there has been on the stage for a while, why hasn't anyone come up to challenge?" Mu Jin asked.

"I also noticed that the deacon called him Guigu-chan just now. This person should be a powerful character. Given that there are other opportunities to challenge, it seems that no one is willing to challenge him first."

On the third ring, a young man with a short stature and a skinny body was standing in the center of the ring.

He is thin and thin, wearing a poorly cut brown cloth shirt, like a paper tube stuck in the ring, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

His skin was abnormally smooth, and his exposed cheeks and arms had a slight light blue brilliance. He looked more like a person from another world, not a human race in the Central Yuan Realm at all.

Under the ring No. [-], there were many disciples from the three major families, but none of them went up to sign up for the challenge.

"I wanted to see how powerful this "Ghost Valley Zan" really is. It seems that the other disciples were frightened by his reputation, and no one dared to challenge him."

"Guigu Zan is a person who came back from the Green Fire Demon Prison. His cultivation level is already at the peak of the True Alchemy Realm. He is a newly emerged figure among the disciples of the Guigu Clan."

"Green Flame Prison! Is that the place that became the remains of the Death Demon Race?"

"Yes, it is said that there used to be an ancient battlefield where humans and demons fought, and many famous figures from the two races of humans and demons fell there. Therefore, many people coveted the ruins and ventured there. Our Zhongyuan Realm There is a saying in the world of comprehension, "It is better to enter the palace of the king of hell than to enter the Qinghuo Devil Prison." However, this Guigu Zan is the only person who has returned safely from the Qinghuo Devil Prison that has been heard for a hundred years."

"No wonder I haven't heard of this person before, he must have achieved great fortune in the Green Fire Demon Prison."

"It is said that he originally had very mediocre cultivation talent, but as a direct disciple of the Guigu family, he was sent to the stables. Now he has become the one who dare not be easily provoked by the younger disciples of the Guigu family or even the three major families. exist."

"I also heard that a few days ago, this person publicly challenged Gui Gufeng, the master of Ghost Flame Hall, one of the Seven Great Halls, and fought for [-] rounds. In the end, he only lost half a move, and became famous in one battle."

"Hall Master Guigufeng is a well-known figure in the sect, and a long-established existence among the direct disciples of the Guigu family. His cultivation is already at the second level of the primordial soul realm. Guigu Zan is only a cultivator of the true alchemy realm right now. Because, if this person is lucky enough to be able to advance to Yuanhun Realm in the future, Baobuqi can really defeat Guigufeng Hall Master."

The crowd in the audience discussed.

Half an hour later, most of the ring masters had changed. Only Guigu-chan on the third ring was still standing quietly in the wind, only wearing a brown cloth that was occasionally caught. The wind that came out lifted the corners of his clothes.It seems that he was originally an old pine growing there.

"I drank too much yesterday, and I woke up late today. I can't be ranked in other places. This arena is clean. I just let Brother Niu challenge me."

A loud voice from the crowd under the ring was particularly abrupt.

The speaker is eight feet tall, with a thick back and a hulking waist. There is no hair in the center of the top of the head. The bare scalp is shiny and shiny, and the hair around it is not long but thick, and a long hair is neatly cut along the top of the ear.Forget it from afar, like a black bowl with a leaky bottom stuck on your head.

After a while, the disciple who called himself Brother Niu stepped into the ring.

"No. [-] Silver Battle Soul Stage, Yasha Jingwu, a disciple of the Yasha family, challenges Guigu Zan, a disciple of the Guigu family." The black-robed deacon in charge of the third stage announced loudly.

"Yo, someone really went up to challenge."

"Yasha Jingwu is the youngest of the three major families and is a well-known monk who cultivates both spirit and body. He loves to eat beef. He can eat a whole cow in one meal. People call him Brother Niu."

"This brother Niu is also at the peak of the true alchemy realm. It is said that the last time he fought against the three true alchemy cultivators of the Taoist sect alone, he still won the victory. There is no doubt about his sturdy record."

"The next fight between the two is really exciting."

"Even if I don't have the ability to enter the top [-], it is worthwhile to see such a high level of competition."

The crowd under the arena whispered to each other.

Mu Jin, who had been watching the No. [-] ring from a distance, saw that someone was going to challenge Guigu Zan, and reminded Xu Yang beside him, "Someone is going up to the No. [-] ring."

Xu Yang had also carefully watched the competitions in other arenas before, and paid special attention to the competition among the disciples who had cultivated the True Alchemy Realm.As expected of being a disciple of the three major families, it can be described as stunning and profound. .

Being able to see the skills and abilities displayed by masters in duels is not only an appreciation, but also a way of learning.Although only some fur can be seen, it has also benefited a lot.

If it is said that Guigu-chan is still the best among them, it is really eager to see his outstanding demeanor.

"The duel between masters is undoubtedly a wonderful drama." Xu Yang said.

On the third ring.

Guigu Zan and Yasha Jingwu stood facing each other.

"Guigu-chan? Brother Niu, I'm here to challenge you." Brother Niu cupped his fists and said, then took a step forward.

But Guigu-chan was still the same as before, still motionless.It seemed that no one came up to challenge on the ring at all. The confident eyes had penetrated Yasha Jingwu's thick body, and his eyes were still focused on the distance.

been ignored.

This was what Brother Niu felt at this moment, and his face suddenly became ugly.

For Guigu Zan, all the disciples who participated in this competition are not in his eyes, more precisely, they are not in his heart.

It's not that he's arrogant and arrogant.Because he is a person who constantly sets goals for himself in order to grow.

His current target is Guigufeng, the man who was called the genius of the Guigu family from birth, and now the man who occupies the position of the head of the Tianguizong Zhantang.

And as soon as he was born, his father sighed. It is a blessing that this child can live a mediocre and peaceful life.It's not that his father doesn't love him, but that he was born with physical defects, and the only spiritual vein was identified as a fake spiritual vein with no attributes by the elders of the clan.

False spiritual veins are unformed spiritual veins, which are a lot worse than Xu Yang's aptitude when he first stepped into the cultivation world.Cultivators with fake spiritual veins spend their entire lives, and most of them will not be able to break through to the Void Transformation Realm.

And Guigu Zan is not only a fake spiritual vein, but also a fake spiritual vein without attributes, which is extremely rare.Not only is he not good at learning any kind of exercises such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth without the attributes of exercises, but it is also very difficult to learn each exercise.

It seems that the word "talent" was completely isolated from him all his life.Ever since he was a child, the word he heard the most is "good for nothing."

But Guigu-chan did not bow to fate, did not succumb to difficulties, and did not feel inferior because of his flaws. He kept setting himself one goal after another.
