The morning breeze on Jianping today is stronger than before.

The green and yellow flags, straight swords and bamboos, and clothes were all blown by the strong wind, giving people a feeling of tension that the building was about to be filled with wind.

Xiao Ran's words were like throwing a stone into the water, causing ripples in the hearts of the disciples. The ripples spread rapidly and turned into stormy waves in a blink of an eye.

Some of the inner disciples in the crowd who were unbearable and were ready to look at the young people on the stage again.

Could it be that Elder Zhijian really picked a genius with special physique?

No one dares to do it.

But someone spoke, bowed a little, and asked tentatively:

"I heard that Uncle Xiao is good at building and farming life skills. What I want today is—"

Xiao Ran shook his head with his hands behind his back and directly interrupted the man.

"I don't have that leisure time, and today I will only compete for combat talents."

That person is difficult to do:

"But uncle, you..."

"Two tactics."

Xiao Ran only stretched out two fingers.

"The first solution is to limit cultivation, and to fight with the power of mortals, only physical skills or swordsmanship, and the spiritual weapons used are also limited to ordinary things."

"The second solution is not limited to cultivation, no spiritual weapons, no difference, no rules to fight, as long as it does not hurt your life, fight whatever you want."

There was no sound on the sword ping.

Only the wind blows.

Before everyone could think about it, Xiao Ran said again:

"I'll wait here for an hour. If no one responds, I won't create such a boring arena in the future."

The wind is rustling.

People are loud and powerful.

A few disciples who came to watch the battle immediately left in all directions and passed Xiao Ran's words to every corner of the inner sect.

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!

The inner gate of the Eighteen Mountains exploded instantly.

"Born ring? Are you sure that the personal disciple said that?"

"The challenger can choose both solutions? I thought that the personal disciples would have to limit their cultivation and compete with swordsmanship skills!"

"Why are mere mortals so arrogant? Could it be that he hides his strength..."

"Or it is said that Elder Zhijian is already hiding in the dark and will secretly assist him?"

"How is it possible - I just heard Bo Yunzi (author's note: Because he was the same as the old book character, Ji Yunzi changed to Bo Yunzi) Uncle said that Elder Zheng Jian had something to go out and would not be able to come back for three days after leaving the clan!"

"I deliberately created evidence of absenteeism, and secretly stuffed secret spiritual weapons to the personal disciples, and fought at will!"

"This possibility is not ruled out, but I still feel that Uncle Xiao hides his strength. You haven't seen his expression just now. How can he be the demeanor that a mortal should have?"

"Will you bluff and deliberately give two options, either raise yourself or imply that you have a sharp weapon, thus forcing the challenger to choose the first option."

"What you said makes sense. In short, we can only wait and see and do not act rashly. Senior Sister Jiang and Junior Brother Ye must be more anxious than us, not to mention the touchstone of Uncle Chen, which is a mule or a horse, and the true form will be revealed immediately."

"No matter what... I've watched a good show today!"

Similar discussions are taking place on each mountain.

...

Small Peak.

The female cultivators just learned that Jiang Chuyan was going to join Zhijian Peak and become the treasure disciple of the elder Zhijian. Before they could cheer and hold a farewell party, they heard a more exciting news.

Chu Yan's master, the mortal, personally passed on Xiao Ran, and arrived at Jianping at the beginning of the Disciple Challenge.

"Go and call the senior sister!"

"Where is the eldest sister? I was still cleaning up just now..."

"The elder sister has gone to the main peak to go through the peak transfer procedures."

"It happens to be on the main peak? Let's go and have a look!"

"Let's go!"

...

Baicao Peak.

There was a rustling sound in the medicine field, like a snake moving.

Spring frogs and autumn cicadas are shuttled through the medicine plants, catching insects... and weeding, and know nothing about what happened on the main peak.

Until the two of them held the iron bull in one hand and hit a pair of slender, straight, soft and warm calves head-on.

When I looked up, I saw that it was Master Yinyue Zhenren.

"Your Senior Brother Xiao Ran is accepting a disciple's challenge on the sword ping of the main peak. Do you two want to come over and cheer him?"

The two girls were stunned, then quickly relieved, and thought casually:

"What is...our Senior Brother Xiao Ran?"

"Master, you just want to go see me and go directly. No one stipulates that the elders cannot watch me. We still have to catch them... weed them!"

"No matter how you look at it, you are someone else's disciple."

"I want to tell you, instead of greed for other people's disciples, it is better to be kind to your own disciples. Can't you prepare more candied haws in the imperial city?"

Yinyue Zhenren said sternly:

"Today, weeds in the mountains are removed, when will we finish weeds, and when will we eat."

The two girls stood up rubbing, their little heads slightly higher than the medicine field, making a frog-shaped hairpin and a cicada-shaped hairpin particularly eye-catching.

"We'll go and cheer for Senior Brother Xiao Ran!"

...

Sword Forging Peak.

In a certain dark crystal stone cave.

Master Gao wore a blind eye ring and sharpened his sword on several mysterious crystal stones of different textures at once. At the same time, he must ensure the sharpness, toughness and fine spiritual patterns of the sword blade.

This is an extremely complicated process.

Master Gao ignored the things outside the window, and only repeated the same action infinitely, looking stern and extremely professional.

But he didn't know where he was looking for it, and his spiritual sense that had increased secretly searched the surrounding mountains.

"Master, the junior brother Xiao Ran you care about unexpectedly went out at Jianping, the main peak, waiting for the disciple to challenge him."

"What does it have to do with you?"

A cold and dry old voice came from the dome of the cave.

The real man Moxiao was in another cave, repairing and maintaining the mountain protection formation.

This is the mountain protection task jointly undertaken by the head of the sect, Bo Yunzi, Huangfu Qun and Mo Xiao Zhenren.

"Don't you want junior brother Xiao Ran to visit Zhujian Peak? If Xiao Ran's disciple was seriously injured in the ring, I don't know how long it takes to cultivate to come Zhujian Peak."

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Elder Zhijian went out this morning, and the one who presided over the challenge of this disciple was not Senior Brother Chen, but Senior Brother Luo Sheng. The disciple felt that it was necessary to cheer for Senior Brother Xiao Ran to avoid being bullied by evil people."

"Luosheng is not the kind of person you think. He is also a person who challenges his disciples. If Xiao Ran can't even challenge his disciples, he will not be able to come to the sword peak."

"Disciple thinks that if Junior Brother Xiao Ran dares to come so early, it may hide his extraordinary strength. Isn't Master interested at all?"

"I am naturally interested in being a teacher, but what does it have to do with you?"

“…”

...

Main peak.

The wind on Jianping is getting heavier and stronger.

A quarter of an hour after Xiao Ran appeared, thousands of inner disciples had gathered on Jianping, all of which were covered with heads.

It is as grand as a concert, but it is not lively, but it is a kind of sadness of "the setting sun shines on the big flag, the horse whistles and the wind blows".

Xiao Ran glanced at the jade slips scattered on the ground, and then swept the crowd.

It can be confirmed that the disciples who submitted the challenge to the jade slip were all included except Chu Yan, but they couldn't tell who was who, and even Emperor Ye Fan couldn't find it.

In addition to the inner disciples, there were also many inner disciples who came to watch the game, as well as important figures from Zizong under Zong Zhishan.
