The roar of the monster beast was full of violence.
Some disciples who have just started, or who lack actual combat experience, have already begun to change their expressions.
Even in the cage, the monsters still brought enormous pressure.
"So many monsters..."
Xu Ning was on the stand, watching the dense iron cages being brought up continuously.
Some of the giant covering cloths were not well covered, and it could even be seen that in some cages, more than one monster was trapped.
Moreover, in the cage that was gradually sent up, the aura became stronger and stronger.
Xu Ning has already felt the existence of the monsters in the Void Realm.
"It's a big deal."
Xu Ning also sighed: "However, it takes so much manpower and material resources to get so many monsters, and hold the Monster Slaying Conference just to test the strength of the sect's disciples..."
Hearing Xu Ning's question, Le Caiwei explained: "There is a part of the reason, but not entirely."
"Three hundred years ago, a terrifying beast swarm occurred in Jifeng Prefecture, which was rare in a thousand years. That beast swarm directly reduced the entire Jifeng Prefecture to a sea of monsters. Even the monsters in Jifeng Prefecture flowed into the Feifeng Prefecture. Yunzhou directly contributed to the collapse of the Feiyunzhou dynasty and entered a turbulent situation where all parties fought. It was not until the Yuanshengzong of Feiyunzhou swept across the wilderness and Liuhe that order was restored."
Le Caiwei went on to say: "It's just that Feiyun Prefecture that was indirectly affected has encountered such a dangerous situation, let alone Jifeng Prefecture, which is the center of the beast tide."
"At that time in Jifeng Prefecture, the various forces put aside their prejudices and fought against the enemy together. The major sects and aristocratic families formed alliances and helped each other, and gradually stabilized the situation."
"But even so, the people in Jifeng Prefecture are still devastated, and the people are in dire straits. Just at this time, in the midst of despair, Shi Fengxu, the hero of the troubled times, came out of nowhere. Only by suppressing the seal can the situation be saved, the monsters be defeated again, and the people become the masters of Jifeng Prefecture again."
"After that, Shi Fengxu briefly established a dynasty in Jifeng Prefecture, but with his disappearance, the dynasty collapsed after thirty years of existence, and Jifeng Prefecture once again became a situation where sects and aristocratic families ruled until Now."
"Nowadays, ordinary people or folk warriors have forgotten the beast tide three hundred years ago. But the big sects and aristocratic families still maintain the habit of holding demon-slaying conferences, just to keep a long-term vigilance."
Xu Ning listened and nodded silently.
It turns out that Jifeng Prefecture has such a dark past.
In this way, Xu Ning also understood the significance of holding the Demon Slaying Conference.
"Look, Senior Brother He Mingye!"
At this time, Le Caiwei suddenly pointed to the square platform, her voice was a little excited.
Xu Ning looked over and saw a young man in a dark blue long coat walking onto the platform.
With long flowing hair and a long sword on his back, he stood in place like an unsheathed magic weapon, which made people clearly feel his sharpness.
"He Mingye..."
Xu Ning had heard rumors about this person before.
He is the first true biography of the contemporary Yuelan Sect, the disciple of the suzerain Mi Xingye.
There have been rumors that this person's strength is at least the seventh level of the Void Realm, and at the age of thirty, he is already comparable to the elders of the sect.
He Mingye's appearance attracted the attention of thousands of people.
When He Mingye appeared on the stage, a huge trait cage was also pushed up.
The giant cloth above was torn off, and a ferocious giant beast appeared in front of everyone.
The giant beast was about ten meters tall, covered in dark green scales, and its eyes were scarlet and brutal. Its limbs were short and thick, and its tail was covered with spikes.
On its body, there are yellow lines intertwined with light and dark, and there is a dark yellow airflow between its breath and breath.
The cage door was opened.
The moment the giant beast walked out, a violent and oppressive aura rushed in all directions.
Even Xu Ning felt a little palpitation.
"The strength of this monster, I'm afraid it is no longer the middle level of the Void Realm..."
Although it was far away, Xu Ning felt a deep threat from this giant beast: "This should be a high-level monster in the Void Realm, with the weakest strength, and it must be comparable to a top martial artist in the seventh level of the Void Realm!"
Wow!
The moment the giant beast walked out of the cage, beams of light shot upwards at the four corners of the square platform, and after the nodes interweaved, a transparent light curtain was formed.
"Is this the seventh level of the Void Realm, a means to pass through the Seal Realm..."
Xu Ning looked at the transparent light curtain and thought to himself.
This transparent light curtain should be similar to an "enchantment", which can isolate the battle in the venue.
The fourth to sixth layers of virtual realm are the application and understanding of nature.
At the seventh level and above, the Void Realm Martial Artists will be able to display some methods that transcend ordinary martial arts.
In Xu Ning's view, those methods are quite miraculous and out of the ordinary.
Inside the light curtain, the giant beast roared and stared at He Mingye on the opposite side.
The yellow lines on its body became brighter and brighter.
Crash!
The giant beast stepped on the ground, and under the platform of the square, several long strips of earth and rock suddenly drilled out, as if they had vitality, and chased He Mingye suddenly.
He Mingye didn't panic at all, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, the light blue sword energy burst out, smashing it into clods directly.
When the giant beast saw this, a layer of earthy yellow appeared on the scales.
It waved its giant claws and slapped He Mingye.
He Mingye tapped his toes lightly, and he stood up vertically, looking at the giant beast.
Swish Swish Swish!
He Mingye danced the long sword in his hand.
The light blue sword shadows were closely intertwined, enveloping the giant beast in an instant.
On the giant beast's body, the khaki scales were constantly torn, and blood flowed across its body.
It began to roar in pain, completely enraged.
The giant beast waved its limbs and tail, trying to slap He Mingye to death, but it was of no avail.
When the giant beast was already covered in scars, the long sword in He Mingye's hand suddenly let out a crisp sword cry.
Afterwards, blue light intertwined on the giant beast's body, and it was completely cut and shattered, turning into a rain of blood.
A high-level monster in the Void Realm was easily beheaded by He Mingye.
Immediately, there was a warm cheer on the square.
He Mingye's opening scene shocked thousands of disciples.
Xu Ning also really saw the power of a high-level warrior in the virtual realm.
"It's amazing..."
Xu Ning felt that facing He Mingye, he was no match for him at all.
But Xu Ning is not discouraged, as long as he gives himself enough time, he will definitely grow to this level.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the light curtain disappeared, and He Mingye stepped off the platform.
"Sect Master, Mingye has already been promoted to the eighth level of the Mortal Realm, right? The Yueshui Sword has also cultivated to the ninth level?"
Beside Mi Xingye, a white-haired elder asked.
Mi Xingye stroked his beard and nodded silently with a smile.
Mi Xingye was extremely satisfied with his disciple.
"Master."
He Mingye came down and sat next to Mi Xingye.
"good."
Mi Xingye gave a flat compliment.
He Mingye made a perfect opening for today's Demon Slaying Conference.
After He Mingye left the stage, the disciples who were standing by next to him cleaned up the stage.
Afterwards, the presiding elder of the Demon Slaying Conference stepped onto the stage. Facing thousands of people, his chest and lungs swelled with true energy, and his voice filled the audience.
"True disciple He Mingye has already killed a high-level monster in the virtual realm at the beginning. Next, we will see your performance."
The presiding elder said: "I hope that all the disciples who face monsters in the future, no matter whether they are outer sects, inner sects or true disciples, will have the courage to show their strength in an all-round way! Your performance will be judged by all the elders and deacons. In my eyes, if you perform well and get the approval of the elders and deacons, you will be able to pass from the outer door to the inner door, and from the inner door to a real biography!"
The presiding elder's words immediately stirred thousands of disciples' hearts.
The transition of disciple status not only changed the status, but also the supply of resources.
The higher the status of the disciple, the better the resources he will enjoy, and he will have a better background in the future.
"Next, we will conduct fifteen rounds of demon-slaying rounds for the disciples of the outer sect!"
The presiding elder said: "In each round, one hundred outer disciples are allowed to take the stage and fight monsters. During this period, you may be seriously injured by monsters, but you don't have to worry about life and death. If you are fatally threatened when fighting monsters , there are elders who will rescue you!"
"One hundred places, fight for yourself. The first round of the outer disciple's monster slaying, starts now!"
As soon as the presiding elder finished speaking, some outer disciples started rushing towards the platform.
"Are you all so positive..."
Xu Ning looked at the figures of the outer disciples, and could clearly feel their excitement.
"The first hundred people who came up, nearly half of them are virtual martial artists..."
Xu Ning estimated the proportion of virtual realm martial artists among the hundred people based on the perception of the outer disciples who had just passed by him.
There are nearly 3,000 outer disciples of the Yuelan Sect.
These 3,000 people are all from ordinary backgrounds, unlike Xu Ning and his inner disciples, who were recommended by the subordinate families of the Yuelan Sect.
Among the outer disciples, most of them are ordinary warriors.
If they want to cross from the outer door to the inner door, they can only perform well in this demon slaying conference.
The one hundred people who took the initiative to take the stage at the beginning were all outstanding disciples of the outer sect, and they expressed their urgency.
"Among the disciples of the outer sect, there are nearly a hundred masters of the Void Realm, about the same as those of the inner sect..."
Xu Ning whispered something.
"That's right, outer disciples should not be underestimated."
Le Caiwei sighed a little: "And I, an inner disciple, have not yet broken through the virtual realm, so I am really ashamed."
"Senior Sister Yue, don't underestimate yourself." Xu Ning comforted, "There are three thousand outer disciples, and the ratio of Void Realm martial artists is less than thirty to one. Among them, it is normal for older ones to achieve Void Realm."
Le Caiwei nodded upon hearing this.
Of course she knew the position of these outer disciples.
Even if some of them are promoted to the Void Realm, they have only learned the low-rank Void Realm Secret Code, and the upper limit in the future is extremely limited.
The Void Realm Martial Artists from the outer sect, even if they enter the inner sect, they are still small roles. They will only be sent down by the sect in the future, and they will not be able to become deacons, let alone become the central core of the sect.
"The first round of fighting between the outer disciples and the monsters has begun..."
On the platform, the light curtain was woven again, and monsters were sent in one by one.
These monsters are both in Void Realm and Mortal Realm. After they were put in, they immediately fought with the disciples of the outer sect.
For a while, the sound of fighting and roaring came.
"These outer disciples are really desperate..."
Xu Ning saw that many disciples of the outer sect were desperately showing themselves in order to gain the approval of the deacons of the inner sect.
Xu Ning could also feel the sadness of some outer disciples.
Soon, a round will be over.
Compared to He Mingye's unrestrained style before, the outer disciples all looked a little embarrassed after the fight.
After all the monsters in the first round were killed, only six or seven Void Realm Martial Artists were left on the platform.
Four of them performed outstandingly and were favored by the inner sect deacon and obtained the status of inner sect disciples.
Then, the second round began.
In the second round, the number of Void Realm Martial Artists was even smaller.
After all, the truly powerful ones had already appeared in the first round.
"Everyone is still very anxious..."
There are three thousand disciples from the outer sect, and only half of them really have a chance to take the stage.
With the support of the elders of the sect, there is no need to worry about the safety of their lives. Everyone wants to go up and give it a try.
"At this speed, it is estimated that the fifteenth round will end, and at least three hours will pass..."
Xu Ning vaguely thought that it would take a long time for inner disciples to take the stage.
The facts were similar to Xu Ning's estimation. The fifteen rounds of outer disciples ended, and two and a half hours passed.
"It's almost time for the inner disciples to enter the stage..."
After the round of the outer disciples ended, Xu Ning knew that it was almost his turn to wait for others.
Xu Ning was a little eager to try, now that his own strength could even touch the mid-level monsters in the Void Realm.
"Next, proceed to the inner disciple's round!"
The presiding elder stood on the platform again.
"The fight between inner disciples and monsters is divided into five rounds, with twenty people in each round!"
"There are only twenty people in each round..."
Xu Ning frowned: "So few..."
"Xu Ning, are you ready?"
At this time, Ning Xun came over: "What round are you going to play?"
"The first round must be the elites of the inner sect. The leaders of the inner sect forces will definitely appear first. Competing with those people will be very stressful."
Before Xu Ning could answer, Ning Xun said, "I suggest you to join me in the second round, and I will assist you in the battle against monsters, to help you better display your strength and show your face in front of the elders. "
Xu Ning heard this and thought about it: "Senior Brother Ning, I want to be in the first round."
"Will you be in the first round?"
Ning Xun asked back: "But, the opponent in the first round..."
"No problem."
Xu Ning said: "The stronger the opponent, the better the performance, and the more favored by the elders, the greater the probability that I will be nominated as a registered true disciple."
Xu Ning knew the benefits of being promoted to a registered disciple, and having an elder as a backer would be helpful for both his own future and the future of the Seven Fists.
"But the strength of those leaders..."
Ning Xun still wants to persuade, but Xu Ning has already made up his mind.
"Senior Brother Ning, don't worry."
Xu Ning smiled, stood up, and walked to the central platform of the square.
The moment Xu Ning stood up, Daoyue and Shougu Yishang also stood up at the same time.
Both spotted the other's movements.
Their eyes crossed, and they all saw the hostility in each other's eyes.
"Xu Ning?"
Gu Yishang showed a deep smile.
