Chapter 667
The ceremony of the Dongsheng Sword Club lasted for two hours before it ended.
The guests on the Golden Pillar Cloud Terrace were all invited to participate in the banquet on the Hongfeng Peak, while the other cultivators, as well as the sword cultivators on the Tianxing Peak, dispersed.
The sword cultivators didn't say anything, and they didn't feel neglected. On the one hand, this has been the case over the years; It was specially prepared for the sword cultivators on the list.
Zhou Shu walked back slowly, there was no competition today, and starting tomorrow, he will enter the difficult qualifying stage.
The rules of the ranking stage are a bit complicated, and many sword cultivators once criticized them, but after so many years, they have been implemented and cited as guidelines.
It is divided into three rounds, and there will be three competitions in each round, that is to say, if a sword repairer wants to get his exact ranking, he must conduct nine competitions.
In the first round, Tianjianmen will determine two divisions based on Jianxiu's past results in the sword list and the points in the ranking stage, the upper half of the top 50, and the lower half of the bottom 50.
The sword cultivators in the upper half and the lower half competed by drawing lots. If the sword masters in the upper half won, they would keep their positions. If they lost, they would be replaced by the opponents in the lower half.
This kind of competition lasted for three games, and the sword repairer who lost two games in a row was not eligible to enter the upper half again.
In this round, the top fifty and bottom fifty will be determined.
The rules of the second round are basically similar to the first round, fifty points are divided into twenty-five, two-two competitions, the same is three games, and thus the top twenty-five will be determined.
The third round, which is also the core stage of the ranking stage, determines the specific ranking of each sword repairer.
This round is quite an exciting challenge, and it is also the part that most tests swordsmanship.
The top 25 sword cultivators can choose their own ranking according to their own strength and confidence, and then accept the opponent's challenge.
To give an example, if Zhou Shu chooses the third place in the sword list, he will accept the challenge of any one of the other 22 sword repairers. If he wins, he will remain in the third place. If he loses, he will not only be replaced by his opponent The third position, and also lost the qualification to continue to challenge the third and above positions, the best result is the fourth.
This is not to say that the lower the ranking you choose at the beginning, the better. If you choose the twenty-fifth place at the beginning, you are admitting your own weakness, and there will never be other sword cultivators to challenge it. Only by challenging others can it be possible. progress.
So how to choose an appropriate ranking at the beginning is also very particular.
As for the order in which each sword cultivator chooses to rank, it is determined by drawing lots. It depends on luck. In the world of cultivating immortals, luck has always been a part of strength.
And the challenge is not endless, there are only three chances, once you fail twice, there is no possibility of getting a high position.
After three rounds, the determined ranking will be the final ranking.
The rules are indeed a bit complicated, and it is hard to say that they are absolutely fair, but for sword cultivators, they are perfect. Under such rules, sword cultivators have to face great challenges, whether it is the strength of swordsmanship or psychologically. This is true of all the tests, and it is easier to become a strong person after experiencing it.
However, this kind of competition method is also based on the fact that sword repairers will never form parties and cheat with each other.
Jianxiu has always been aloof, trusts in his own strength, and disdains cheating. Moreover, the Tianjian Town Square Formation is erected on Tianxing Peak. Once he is found to be doing favoritism and cheating, the consequences will not be too much to say.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Yang Mei and Hao Siyun looked at Zhou Shu, waiting for him to speak.
"Take a break and go to Hongfeng."
Zhou Shu said in a calm voice, "After a few hours, after the banquet is over, many monks will go to Hongfeng, and various auctions will start. It will last until the end of the sword fair. Let's all go there and see if we can find beads clues."
The two women responded loudly together, "Yeah!"
Zhou Shu looked at Yang Mei, "Junior Sister, give me the beads first."
Yang Mei nodded, and obediently handed over the beads. Zhou Shu put them away carefully, stroked Yang Mei's beautiful hair, "Don't worry, I have some plans, and I will definitely find out for you."
Yang Mei chuckled lightly, smiling very relaxedly, "I know, senior brother, I'm not worried. It doesn't matter if I can't find it, I have senior brother, I'm not afraid of anything."
Zhou Shu smiled, his eyes were full of tenderness.
After a while, Zhou Shu entered Wushuang City, still in the hall of Shuren Lane.
Now his soul is tough enough, even if he is besieged by a group of tree men, he will not feel too painful or even fall out, so he will come in to exercise whenever he has time, and while training his soul, it will not prevent him from being distracted. Other things, as long as you are not too tired.
He is almost completely familiar with Shuren Lane, and his progress is remarkable, which can be described as a thousand miles a day. This time, he broke through to the place where there are twelve Shuren in one fell swoop, and he can pass through Level C Shuren Lane in three floors, and victory is in sight.
While resting in the hall, a golden figure walked in.
Zhou Shu didn't pay attention, and didn't even raise his head, but the figure walked straight to his side, and Zhou Shu raised his head to look, and was stunned for a moment. This person turned out to be Fairy Yudie.
The two looked at each other, did not speak, and could not speak. Here, the city residents are restricted from communicating with each other.
After thinking for a while, Fairy Yudie took out a jade board and handed it to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu looked at it and quickly accepted it, and the two passed to a quiet room.
Fairy Yudie was still smart, and released a task, and Zhou Shu took it immediately, so that the two could achieve the purpose of communication.
Zhou Shu was a little puzzled, "Senior, what's the matter?"
Fairy Yudie stared at him for a while, showing some seriousness, "You asked me about Wei Shang earlier, did you have something to do with him?"
Although she is in Tianjianmen, she doesn't like Tianjianmen, and she doesn't care about Tianjianmen's affairs. Before Zhou Shu asked her about the secrets of Tianjianmen, she told Zhou Shu without any concealment, and she didn't take it seriously. But yesterday, the words of the elders of Tianjianmen made her feel something was wrong, so she came to Zhou Shu for questioning.
Zhou Shu was slightly taken aback, his eyes flickering, "Why do you ask that, senior?"
Fairy Yudie didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Were you taken away by Wei Shang, or did you get his sword and then be controlled by his divine sense?"
Zhou Shu unconsciously smiled and said, "Senior, you think too much, this junior is not controlled by anyone, nor was he taken away by Wei Shang."
In fact, he is considered a reincarnated person, but he has nothing to do with Wei Shang.
Fairy Yudie stared at Zhou Shu and shook her head slightly, "Whether it is or not, you have caused trouble anyway. Although the city lord asked me to take care of you, I can't help you this time, so you can do it yourself."
After speaking, she got up and left.
Zhou Shu stood up and asked suspiciously, "Senior, what do you mean by these words? I am very grateful for the care of senior, but it's so thoughtless..."
"Don't ask too much, just be careful yourself."
Fairy Yudie didn't look back, stood for a few breaths, sighed, "Come to Hongfeng in a while", left after leaving a word.
Zhou Shu was left in the quiet room, a little dazed.
