Chapter 31 Showing Weakness
Xu Yan didn't know that he almost lost the opportunity to continue as a sword cultivator invisibly, but he knew very well what the 'thirty to twenty' mean in this round.
When he arrived at the martial arts square, there were only two games left in this round of competition. According to his personality, he was not very interested in the competition between these Lotus Sect's fellow disciples. However, when he found out that Xu Hui, who was from the same village as him, could not help but take a look.
Xu Yan came to prepare for the war in Dongzi Sect, and then he realized that in the entire Dongzi Sect, except for a beautiful woman who was gasping for breath but was obviously exhausted, her face was pale. All the disciples had been eliminated. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was a disciple of the four sects, and his strength was so different.
Seeing Xu Yan just sat down, he shook his head. The beautiful woman who had won a narrow victory after a long battle before understood it and said with a wry smile: "Didn't you expect that my Dongzi Sect would be so weak? In fact, we didn't know it before. Elder Wang comforted us before that even if the disciples of the four sects had a gap in strength, there would be no too many, but now it seems that the fact is not as he thought."
When Xu Yan heard the other party speak on his own initiative, he knew that the latter was talking to her. However, although he was temporarily classified as a disciple of the Dongzi Sect, he had no idea about Wang Chu and the Dongzi Sect. He didn't know why he answered for a while, but just nodded with a wry smile.
The beautiful woman let out a sigh of relief, like a singular sect, and then said, "My junior brother, you are the only hope left in our Dongzi Sect. Although this can no longer affect the overall ranking among the major factions this time, my senior sister hopes that you can go to the end."
When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at her very seriously. He has to say that this woman is indeed a rare beauty, as bright as a painting, with red lips and white teeth. However, he was a little confused about the other party's sudden expectation. However, seeing that she always had a faint smile on her face and looked extremely friendly, Xu Yan didn't think much about it, but just smiled and replied humbly: "Senior sister looks at me so much. I don't have such ability, but I should do my best."
The woman, whose original name was Qiu Yuanjin, saw that he was unmoved to his kind words, could not help but flash a faint sense of loss in her beautiful eyes, but she thought in her heart that this little junior brother was indeed a bit arrogant.
In fact, this is Qiu Yuanjin misunderstood Xu Yan. If he were the ones he used to be, he might be described as arrogance, but Xu Yan is not a difficult person to get along with. For example, when he faced Cardinal, because the two of them had already known each other, they would not only fight with her to a certain extent, but also flatter her from time to time. It was not that he would look a little "high" like this now.
While Qiu Yuanjin was still thinking about it in her heart, Xu Yan, who was sitting in front of her, suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, it seems that the Xu sister is going to lose too."
When Qiu Yuanjin heard Xu Yan's words, he turned around and focused his attention in the square. However, the last scene she saw was that Xu Hui was directly picked up by her opponent and then the opponent pressed the tip of the sword against her chest.
Without any surprise, the linebacker elder directly announced Xu Hui's defeat, but this defeat did not mean that she stopped there, because in the third round of the competition, there were only fifteen winners, and the 15 defeated people will be drawn again and divided into five groups. Tomorrow, the three-person breakout match will be held in a three-person breakout match. The final quota for participating in the Baishan Spring Hunting this time is the final place to participate in the Baishan Spring Hunting. However, although the five people after the breakthrough can participate in the Spring Hunting after the successful breakthrough, they will no longer be eligible for the subsequent promotion match. Therefore, only the fifteen people who won the first round of the third round are eligible to continue moving forward, chasing the final top three in this selection match, and receive generous rewards formulated by the sect.
Seeing Xu Hui walking down the square with a dull face, Xu Yan sighed in his heart. In this world where strength shows the truth, everyone will have their own destiny, which is a fact that cannot be changed.
After Xu Hui left the scene, she saw Xu Yan looking at her, and found that the latter was looking at her with a soft gaze that seemed to give her comfort. She felt a little regretful in her heart, but she felt a little aggrieved inexplicably.
When Xu Hui walked to Xu Yan, she was already crying, and tears were faintly rolling in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Yan just reached out and patted her shoulder gently, and encouraged her with a smile: "The sister of the Xu family has done a great job, and the competition has not yet ended yet. Remember to work the same hard tomorrow, so please don't cry, and leave all your tears to joy in the future!"
Before Xu Hui could come back from her sluggishness, Xu Yan had already stepped towards the martial arts training square.
...
"The third round, the fifteenth game" is also the last game today.
Time is close to the four hours of Youth.
In the sky, dusk is coming and dark blue appears.
As the saying goes, a few families are happy and a few families are sad. For those who have successfully advanced in this round, it is naturally worthy of joy. But if you want to say who is the most painful now, you will undoubtedly be the disciple of the Qiuzi Sect who also won the last game, Li Ku.
Li Ku is different from Xu Yan. He started his own selection match and watched the game on the sidelines almost every game and never left behind. Among them, he had to learn more about himself before meeting his opponents in each round, and he also had his own meticulous and cautious personality. However, when he sat on the sidelines and witnessed the disciples in the third round playing group and constantly deleting personnel in his mind, he finally got the result he least wanted to see in an extremely bitter way.
Li Ku looked at Xu Yan who was standing not far in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I originally thought that when I drew the last game, I still thought that I drew the lottery, but I didn't expect that the junior brother also drew the last game. It seems that this is destined to stop in the third round."
Xu Yan was a little confused about Li Ku's initiative to show weakness, so he raised his eyebrows and replied: "Is this senior brother a little too arrogant?"
Li Ku heard this and said with a bitter face: "Young junior brother, it's not that your senior brother is self-deprecating, but that your two swords were too much..." It seemed that you couldn't find any suitable words to describe it for a while. Li Ku paused and then said helplessly: "Anyway, you are famous now, and you probably don't know it yourself. Among all the disciples who have successfully promoted, if we say that we are the least willing to meet someone, it's the younger brother."
Xu Yan was really a little amused by Li Ku's explanation, but even so, he would not take the person in front of him lightly, because he found that even though the other party was smiling bitterly and constantly showing weakness at this moment, there was always a trace of extremely hot color in the other party's eyes. Although this emotion was hidden very well by him, the emotion full of fighting will cannot escape Xu Yan's capture no matter what.
