Looking at He Chaoxi flying towards him, Duanmu Lian's heart gradually became hot.

The Qingteng Sword Art practiced by He Chaoxi is the strongest practice method of Qingteng Sword Academy. It has special mystery, and his understanding of some sword scriptures is not comparable to that of many Qingteng Sword Academy and Aries Cave students.

Today, this young man who is extremely outstanding in all aspects will surely shine with dazzling brilliance and exalt the prestige of Qingteng Sword Academy.

"It's just that I'll just take the time to practice. Now so many people are waiting for you, it's really unreasonable."

So although he scolded him, there was no stern look on his face.

He Chaoxi didn't say much, but just bowed to apologize, and then stood beside several students from Qingteng Sword Academy.

Not far away from him, there was a student from Qingteng Sword Academy. He looked restrained and unconsciously held the hilt of the sword in his arms. It was Mo Chen.

The sun is getting stronger, and the morning mist in the Qingteng Sword Courtyard is gradually dissipating.

Everyone followed Duanmu Lian and others, walked through the entire Qingteng Sword Courtyard, and climbed to the Tianzhu Peak of the back mountain.

The Sword Sacrifice Trial is located at the Sword Sacrifice Canyon below Tianzhu Peak, and Qingteng Sword Courtyard has five or six more hills between Tianzhu Peak and the slightly lower Tiejian Ridge opposite.

The distance between these hills is more than a hundred feet. However, the Qingteng Sword Academy was first pulled with ropes and entwined vines. After hundreds of years, countless vines were tied together and tightly bound, forming more than ten vine bridges that could even be allowed to pass by.

A wide observation deck was built in the center of these vine bridges, and some spiritual herbs and flowers were even planted on the edge of the observation deck. From a distance, it was a castle in the sky, completely like a scene of the fairy palace in the sky.

Di Qingmei, the director of Qingteng Sword Academy, stood on an observation deck closest to Tianzhu Peak, with her blue shirt floating and was about to fly away.

Looking at Duanmu Lian, Li Daoji and others coming up the steps, his eyes did not stop at all. He Chaoxi only nodded slightly when he appeared in his sight. Then he saw Ding Ning beside Nangong Caishu. Looking at Ding Ning's obvious appearance as a little immature than other Aries Cave students, he understood that this should be the wine shop boy named Ding Ning. Thinking that the wine shop boy had actually refined his energy for one month yesterday, his brows frowned slightly.

But no matter how amazing his talent was, from the students who happened to be studying in Aries Cave that day, he learned that this young man in the wine shop practiced only the most common "The True Interpretation of the Spiritual Source Dao", so in his heart, Ding Ning was just a cub without much threat.

Whether such a cub will eventually grow is unknown.

What I really need to worry about is the ferocious old beast that is old but has extremely sharp claws.

So his eyes quickly passed Ding Ning's body and fell on Xue Wangxu who was the last one.

He was upright and bowed to Xue Wangxu from afar, saying with a clear voice: "Aries and green vines are united. This sword sacrifice trial has a very different aura. The Master Xue Cave has reached the seventh realm again, which is actually the glory of the two places."

Hearing this opening remark, Xie Changsheng, who was in the ceremonial team behind the scenes, couldn't help but mutter softly: "This dean is smart. After Aries Cave was included in the Qingteng Sword Academy, it was no longer known as Aries Cave. If it were others, I would never mention Aries, but only mentioned Qingteng Sword Academy. He said this, but he avoided it in words. Anyway, Aries, Qingteng would still be under his control. As long as there is a real benefit, give in words, otherwise if it really starts, Xue Wangxu's cultivation might make him lose face."

While he was muttering, Xue Wangxu smiled slightly and said, "Di you are polite. I am just an idle person now. Just watch the fun. If you want the disciples of Aries Cave to do it, just ask Li Daoji."

Although these words sound polite, they feel a different feeling when they fall into Di Qingmei's ears.

It means that you don’t need to talk to him. If you want to talk, you should talk to Li Daoji. He is in charge of Qingteng Sword Courtyard and Aries Cave, but now he has become on par with Li Daoji?

His evil spirit rose greatly, but his face was filled with ancient wells.

"The sword sacrifice trial is the tradition of our Qingteng Sword Academy. The founder of our Qingteng Sword Academy, Qi Linfeng, was successful in breaking the realm to the sixth realm today, and condensing the natal sword Qingteng Wood Sword. Therefore, every year today, our Qingteng Sword Academy commemorates our ancestors with this ceremony. The winner can not only receive the treasure reward in the courtyard, but the courtyard will also arrange practice in the outer courtyard or other places of practice to obtain the greatest training."

He made a few opening remarks slowly, then nodded to Duanmu Lian and said, "The practitioners are not particular about the details, but follow the rules. Next, Duanmu Lian will explain the rules of this sword sacrifice trial in detail."

...

"The Sword Sacrifice Canyon is at our feet. The canyon is full of green vines, and the unique green vine formation of our Sword Academy is arranged. The road inside is difficult to find, and although all green vines look the same, some of them can attack practitioners, and there are even some vine kings with great strength, and even more than those with the best qi refining practitioners. If they are entangled and sure that they cannot break free, remember not to panic, stop all movements, and the vines will not continue to attack, otherwise they will become tighter and tighter, and they will be worried about their lives if they cannot be rescued."

"All the disciples who participated scattered from the entrance we designated here must cross the entire canyon to the other end of the exit. It is prohibited to form a party to each other. If they meet, they either decide the outcome in battle or escape from each other."

"When crossing the canyon is three days, three boundaries will be drawn, and you are not allowed to go out in advance. Every day at noon, we will use the signs of the wolf smoke. We must reach the area between the wolf smoke before sunset. Then we must stay in that area for midnight, and only after midnight can we choose to rest or continue on our own..."

Duanmu Refining began to explain the rules clearly and loudly. Ding Ning had heard all these, but he still listened very carefully.

"Because Aries and Qing Teng are united this year, the number of students participating in the trial is twice as high as in previous years, so the difficulty has increased slightly. Each student will carry a talisman on his body when entering. There must be at least one battle every day, and one talisman must be seized, otherwise it will be considered a failure even if he reaches the designated area."

"There are no ready-made food in those rest areas this year. They just put some animals in the Sacrifice Canyon. They need to eat to replenish their physical strength, so they must hunt on their own, but some of them are not weak, so they must weigh the trade-offs before hunting."

As these words rang, there was a buzzing discussion in the room.

"This is very unfavorable to all students with low level of cultivation." Hearing this, which is slightly different from the previous rule, Nangong Caishu turned his head, looked at Ding Ning with some concern, and said softly: "It is especially unfavorable to you, because you have been practicing for too short and you have not practiced much physically. This rule is more likely to consume physical strength and your physical strength is easier to not keep up. You have to fight every day, but also consume physical strength to find food... the more you reach the end, the more unfavorable it is."

"This rule is of course more beneficial to practitioners like He Chaoxi who are strong in all aspects, but no one can say that this is unfair." Ding Ning nodded and said softly: "Because this kind of trial is to select the students who are strong in all aspects."

Nangong Caishu fell silent.

Sometimes the so-called rules and fairness are like this. It seems to be like this for everyone, but in fact it is just to favor someone and then to someone.

"If there are rules, there are ways to deal with it." Ding Ning saw the unhappiness in her heart, and he said sincerely: "We are born in a world full of rules, so we must try to survive under the rules."

...

"Sister, this kind of rule seems to be very unfavorable to my brother-in-law, but the key is that it is indeed a fair rule."

Xie Changsheng listened to Duanmu Lian’s story and turned his head to look at Ding Ning who had been staring at Nangong Caishu, "By the way, what do you think of your brother-in-law?"

"very good."

However, what he didn't expect was that Xie Rou was not angry, but saw through his tricks and said sarcastically: "I have confidence in him, and he should be one of the last three."

Xie Changsheng was stunned for a moment and shouted in anger: "You are changing too fast, right? I had confidence in him from the beginning. If you want to bet on him, you look down on him everywhere, but now you have more confidence than me. He has just entered Qi Refining. There are Zhang Yi, Su Qin, and there is Yuxi in the Qingteng Sword Courtyard. Nangong Caishu is not weak. How do you think he will be the top three?"

"I haven't seen him before, so I made such a conclusion on him." Xie Rou glanced at him and said, "But now that I've seen him, it's natural that it's different."

Xie Changsheng was almost speechless, "Where is different?"

Xie Rou looked at Ding Ning in the distance deeply and said, "There is confidence in his eyes, not the kind of confidence that is pretending... That's why he seems so calm and composed."

"It's like buying things. Some people can't afford it, pretending to be able to buy it, but they have the kind of confidence that they have a lot of money in their real wallet and know that the goods are expensive, they can afford it."

Xie Rou continued slowly, "I have been watching various businesses in many businesses at home since I was four years old. I have met countless business people. I am sure I can't read it wrong."

Xie Changsheng patted his forehead with his hand and said depressedly: "Is this business?"

“The truth is the same.”

Xie Rou looked at him and shook her head: "You are still too naive. You don't understand many principles, and you may be able to understand them in the future."

Xie Changsheng's face turned pale with anger, "Where am I young!"

Xie Rou sarcastically said, "It's not that I've never seen you take a bath, you're young everywhere."

"That was a kid!" Xie Changsheng was so angry that he was unable to speak for a moment.

"I'm just a little brat, what do you know?" Xie Rou said solemnly: "Don't be proud of this. I will explain some truths you don't understand. Then I will explain them to my father."

"and…"

After pausing, she turned her head and looked at Xie Changsheng deeply, and said, "I am just a woman. In the future, the burden at home will not need my shoulders to carry. If I make a little trouble, my father will let me go. But you are different, you are a man."
