Chapter 183 Guigu Zan

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

According to regulations, the disciples participating in this competition are all elite disciples of the Tiangui Sect’s true elixir realm and below. Most of them are recommended by each branch. If they can stand out, it will be an honor for the branch.

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

But Xu Yang had his own clear purpose, to enter the Evil Ghost Realm to obtain the Nine Nether Crystals and the Ghost Wood.

The standard of this competition is also very high within the Tiangui Sect. The competition location is set at the "War Soul Platform" on the "Yunjiao Peak" of the Tiangui Sect.

The main hall of the Tiangui Sect is entrenched in the Luoyu Mountains, among which there are countless peaks. Yunjiao Peak is just one of them. It is an isolated 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 twenty-eight fighting soul platforms built at the top of Yunjiao Peak.

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

Eight of the fighting soul platforms are all black and made of large pieces of ink jade, with large pieces of gold foil on their edges. They are gorgeous and luxurious and are called the golden fighting soul platforms. It will only be enabled when competing between Yuanhun Realm monks within the sect.

There are another twenty fighting soul platforms made of silver. They are shining with silver and are called silver fighting soul platforms. Except for Yuanhun Realm monks, all important competitions within the sect are held on the Silver Soul Stage.

This time, the arena competition for the Evil Ghost Hall disciples recruitment will be set up on these twenty silver battle soul stages.

This competition was personally hosted by Yu Cheng, the leader of the Tiangui Sect.

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

Sitting on his left is Dongfang Qianting, the chief elder of the Enforcement Yuan in gray robes, and on his right is Ning Tianqi, the master of Fenggui Hall.

A middle-aged deacon in black loudly read out the competition rules: "This competition is divided into two groups. The disciples of the three major families, the Guigu family, the Yaksha family, and the Wuchang family, are divided into one group, and the remaining halls and families are The disciples are in another group. The rules of the competition are that 20 people from each group are randomly selected as temporary champions. The remaining people can challenge the 20 people at will. Those who are kicked off the ring are disqualified until no one challenges again. The final twenty people remaining in the arena will automatically be selected for the next stage of the Evil Ghost Path Trial."

The middle-aged deacon glanced at the disciples participating in the competition, paused, and continued: "The first thing to be held is the competition between the disciples of the three major families. I have asked the sect leader to personally select twenty temporary champions."

After saying that, he respectfully handed the bronze compass used to verify the identity of the collected disciples during registration to the seat of Sect Master Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng stretched out one hand, and with a seemingly careless flick of his index finger, he fired out a magic formula. The bronze array plate trembled slightly, and a white stream of light spun out from the center. The names of twenty people were clearly reflected in the stream of light.

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

"Yaksha's violent rain, Impermanence Ridge, Guigu Nan..."

Next, the disciples on the list boarded the twenty Silver Soul Platforms one after another. Each of these disciples has bright 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 opposite stage, and stroked his black beard under his chin with one hand, a look of satisfaction on his face. Then he announced loudly: "This Evil Ghost Hall disciple recruitment competition has officially begun."

The sound was as deep and high as a bell, passing through the void and clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

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

For a time, the various arenas were filled with turbulence, fighting spirit, clashing of swords and guns, critical strikes of fists and feet, and the roar of spells.

Since the defensive restrictions around the ring had been activated, the competition outside the ring was not affected.

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

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

"Look, the champion on stage three over there has been on stage for a while, but no one has come up to challenge him." Mu Jin asked.

"I also noticed that just now the deacon called his name Guigu Zan. This person should be a powerful character. It seems that no one is willing to challenge him first if there are other opportunities to challenge him."

On the third stage, a young man with a short stature and a shriveled body stood in the center of the stage.

He was thin and thin, wearing a poorly cut blue shirt. He was like a piece of paper stuck on the ring, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

His skin was extremely smooth, and his exposed cheeks and arms were slightly glowing with light blue. He looked more like a person from another world, not a human race from the Zhongyuan world at all.

Under the No. 3 arena, there were many disciples from the three major families, but no one signed up to challenge.

"I originally wanted to see how powerful this "Gui Gu Zan" is, but it seems that the other disciples are intimidated by his reputation, and no one dares to challenge him."

"Gui Gu Zan is a person who came back from the Green Fire Demon Prison. His cultivation level has reached the peak of the True Alchemy Realm. He is a recent figure among the disciples of the Gui Gu family."

"Blue Fire Devil Prison! Is it the place known as the remains of the Death Demon Clan?"

"Yes, it is said that it was once an ancient battlefield where humans and demons fought each other, and many of the former heroes of both races died there. Therefore, many people covet the remains there and take risks to go there. There is a saying in the cultivation world of our Zhongyuan Realm, "It is better to go to the Hades Palace than to enter the Blue Fire Devil Prison." However, this Guigu Zan is the only person heard of in the past hundred years who has returned safely from the Blue Fire Devil Prison."

"No wonder I haven't heard of this person before. He must have had a great fortune in the Blue Fire Devil Prison."

"It is said that his original cultivation talent was very mediocre, but as a direct disciple of the Guigu family, he was sent to to see the stables. Now he has become a person that the younger generation of disciples of the Guigu Family and even the three major families dare not easily provoke. "

"I have also heard that this person publicly challenged Guigu Feng, the leader of the Guiyan Hall, one of the seven war halls, a few days ago. He actually fought for 300 rounds, and finally only lost half a move, and became famous in one battle. "

"The leader of the Guigu Feng Hall is a well-known figure in the sect, and he is also a long-established existence among the direct disciples of the Guigu Family. His cultivation is already the second level of the Yuanhun Realm. Guigu Zan is only at the True Dan Realm at the moment. If this person is lucky enough to advance to the Yuanhun Realm in the future, he may really be able to defeat the leader of the Guigu Feng Hall."

The crowd below the stage discussed.

Half an hour later, most of the champions on the arena were replaced, and only Guigu Zan on the No. 3 arena was still standing quietly in the wind without moving, and only the blue cloth he was wearing was occasionally lifted by the wind from C. It seemed that he was originally an old pine tree growing there.

"I came a little late, and there are no places to get a seat. This stage is quiet. Friends standing in front, please make way. I, Brother Niu, will challenge you."

A loud voice in the crowd below the stage seemed particularly abrupt.

The speaker was eight feet tall, with a strong back and waist. There was no hair on the center of his head. The exposed scalp was shiny and oily. The hair around was not long but very thick. A bang was cut neatly along the top of the ear. From a distance, it looked like a black bowl with a leaking bottom on the head.

After a while, the disciple who called himself Brother Niu went on the stage.

"On the No. 3 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 No. 3 stage announced loudly.

"Oh, someone really went up to challenge."

"Yaksha Jingwu is a famous young cultivator of the three major families who practices both spiritual and physical cultivation. He loves to eat beef and can eat a whole cow in one meal. People call him Brother Niu."

"This Brother Niu is also at the peak of the True Dan Realm. It is said that he fought three True Dan Realm cultivators from the Taoist sect alone last time and still won. His record is beyond doubt."

"The next fight between these two people is really exciting."

"Even if I don't have the ability to enter the top 20, it's worth it to see such a high level of competition."

The crowd under the ring whispered to each other.

Mu Jin, who had been watching the No. 3 ring from a distance, saw someone going to challenge Gui Gu Zan, and reminded Xu Yang beside him: "Someone went up to the No. 3 ring to compete."

Xu Yang had also watched the competitions on other rings carefully before, and paid special attention to the competition between the True Dan Realm disciples. As expected of the disciples of the three major families, they are amazing and have a deep foundation.

Being able to see the skills and abilities displayed by masters in a duel is not only a way of appreciation, but also a way of learning. Although only some superficial knowledge can be seen, it is also very beneficial.

If Guigu Zan is still the best among them, it really makes people eager to see his outstanding style.

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

On the No. 3 ring.

Guigu Zan and Yasha Jingwu stood face to face.

"Guigu Zan? Brother Niu, I'm here to challenge you." Brother Niu said with a fist, and then stepped forward.

But Guigu Zan, like before, remained motionless. It seemed that no one came up to challenge on the ring. The confident eyes had penetrated the thick body of Yasha Jingwu, and his eyes were still focused on the distance.

Ignored.

This is what Brother Niu felt at the moment, and his face suddenly became ugly.

For Guigu Zan, all the disciples participating in this competition were not in his eyes, or more accurately, not in his heart.

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

His current goal is Guigu Feng, the man who was called the genius of the Guigu family when he was born, and now he is the master of the Tiangui Sect's War Hall.

As for himself, since he was born, his father sighed: "It is a blessing for this child to live a mediocre and safe life."

It's not that his father doesn't love him, but that he is born with defects in his body, and the only spiritual vein he has is identified by the elders of the clan as a pseudo spiritual vein without attributes.

Pseudo spiritual veins are unformed spiritual veins, which are much worse than the spiritual veins that Xu Yang had when he first entered the world of cultivation. Most cultivators with pseudo spiritual veins will not be able to break through to the Void Realm in their entire lives.

Guigu Zan is not only a pseudo spiritual vein, but also a pseudo spiritual vein without attributes, which is extremely rare. Not only was he not good at learning any of the attribute techniques of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, etc. due to his lack of physical attributes, he also encountered many difficulties in learning each technique. If he was not careful, he would be backfired by the attributes of the technique and suffer serious injuries or disability.

It seems that the word talent is completely alien to him since he was born. From childhood to adulthood, the word he heard most was "useless."

But Guigu Zan did not bow to fate, did not succumb to difficulties, did not feel inferior because of his defects, and he kept setting goals for himself one after another.
