All outer disciples will be on stage today for the knockout round.

In an instant, more than half of the disciples under the martial arts stage were reduced, and there were only dozens of outer disciples who were about to compete here.

On the stage, an elder from the outer sect was judging. The head of the sect communicated with several other elders who had nothing to do with their hands behind their backs.

As for the inner disciples who didn't have a match today, they can stay if they want to watch, or go back if they don't want to.

Chu Zhou is planning to go back, but now he sees that these outer disciples have not improved in any way, and his swordsmanship realm is much better than theirs, staying here is just a waste of time, it is better to go back to self-study.

"Chu Zhou, come here."

Suddenly, Duan Qingsong walked around the ring and waved to him, while the sect master and several other elders looked at him with smiles on their faces.

Chu Zhou hurried over, and after saying goodbye, he asked Elder Duan what he was calling him for.

The one who answered him was the head of the sect: "You are not bad, it has only been a long time, and you have given the sect a face when you go home. The Ziyun sect is an old enemy of our Tianjian sect. This time the credit is not small. But things are too busy recently, so I didn't reward you."

Chu Zhou said modestly, and the head continued: "You defeated Mu Yueyun yesterday, and I think you can get a good ranking in this competition. Work hard, and when the competition is over, we will reward you together."

Several other elders echoed, praising him for his excellent talent, he is a talent that can be created, and after the big competition, he will formally join the inner sect, and he must carefully consider the apprenticeship.

Chu Zhou instantly understood that now that he has emerged, all the elders and sect leaders are quite optimistic about him.

When you enter the inner sect, you can choose an elder from the inner sect as the master. Generally, the head of the sect does not accept disciples easily, and this time it seems that he also has the intention of accepting disciples.

He really hadn't thought about this matter. Before, it was difficult to stay in the sect to practice, but now he practiced too fast, so he didn't think about it at all.

Duan Qingsong sighed. He was an elder who had fully witnessed Chu Zhou's rise. His good intentions at the beginning were because of this disciple's tenacity and hard work. He never thought that he would become a dark horse in the sect.

"Chu Zhou, although you have a small success in swordsmanship and are stronger than most of the disciples, you must not be complacent. The Liuguang swordsmanship is very powerful, and ordinary disciples cannot compete with it, but you must not rely too much on it. At least the ten Disciple, everyone is worthy of your move, they all have unique skills, they should not be underestimated."

Duan Qingsong really cared about him, afraid that he would be complacent, and euphemistically pointed out the shortcomings of Liuguang swordsmanship, because it is easy to ignore other aspects of cultivation because of the strength of the arc of sword drawing skills.

Of course, like everyone else, he thought that Chu Zhou had only learned this unique move. After all, Chu Zhou's days of practicing Liuguang swordsmanship were too short. Who would have thought that he had already perfected it?
This fact was too shocking, and Chu Zhou didn't want to be treated as a monster, so he smiled and nodded to Duan Qingsong, saying that he knew it.

After the head and several elders encouraged him a few more words, he went to inspect another arena.

Chu Zhou went to take a look at the arena where his friend Zhao Meng was. If there were no accidents, there would be no problem in qualifying.

Even if he doesn't pass the examination, he still has one year to go, as long as he can reach the perfect state of physical training next year.

After returning to the residence, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the courtyard, he practiced the Liuguang sword technique again, and then consolidated the skill of controlling the sword with his heart.

After another day, all the competitions for the outer disciples were over, and the top [-] disciples were given rewards, and the top ten were directly promoted to the inner sect, and an induction ceremony was held after the big competition.

Before the most anticipated competition of inner disciples begins, there is another challenge, that is, the top ten outer disciples are eligible to challenge an inner disciple. If the challenge is successful, they can occupy the failed one. The ranking of the winners will participate in the inner sect competition.

It is equivalent to the special treatment given to these ten people alone. Even if they only defeat one inner disciple, the reward they get in the end is much better than that of the outer sect, and they will have more cultivation resources after entering the inner sect.

There is a strict division between the inner and outer sects of the Heavenly Sword Sect. As long as the outer sect disciples have completed their physical training, they can stay and continue to practice, but only after entering the foundation building period can they become inner sect disciples.

Therefore, the gap between the strength of the inner and outer sects is obvious.

In the grand competition held once every ten years, the top ten disciples from the outer sect can be promoted to the inner sect. These ten disciples are considered special cases. Generally, these people's cultivation talent and combat strength are very good, and it will be a matter of time before they break through to the foundation building stage.

At this moment, they are at most in the realm of perfect body training, and it is difficult to be opponents of inner sect disciples, but Tianjianzong is a sword cultivating sect, which has always advocated a competitive heart, and these ten people are eager to try.

Their gazes were all aimed at one location.

That is the three people who have not yet entered the inner sect before this big competition, but participated in the inner sect round.

These three people are said to have entered the foundation building stage, and they will become official inner disciples after completing the initiation ceremony after the Dabi.

They are Chu Zhou, the most popular recently, Chen Jiayi, the owner of Huicheng County, who took only eight years to build the foundation, and the last one is much more gloomy, an older young man in his 20s, named Xu Le.

Although the three of them had built their foundations, they hadn't yet entered the inner sect to cultivate. Chen Jiayi's cultivation days were short and her actual combat ability was slightly poor, so she was naturally targeted.

Some disciples from the outer sect even specially ranked the three of them. Chu Zhou is the most dangerous. After all, the shadow of a famous tree has been heard like thunder these days.

Xu Le is next, he is a steady improvement of the eight classics, most of the inner disciples are promoted to the inner sect step by step like him, it is difficult to deal with.

Chen Jiayi is the worst, a genius in cultivation, who spends most of her time in cultivation, so her sword skills are naturally worse.

At this time, it was already [-] o'clock in the evening, and the sunset glow scattered like fire, and the mountains and haze set off each other, which was so beautiful.

The ten people from the outer sect stood on the martial arts stage, the sect master and all the elders were sitting on the top, and all the people below were watching. On the left were all disciples from the outer sect, and on the right were fewer disciples from the inner sect.

Because of the special rounds, Chu Zhou, Xu Le, and Chen Jiayi stood in an awkward position, right in the middle of the two groups of people who were clearly separated, as if they were isolated.

The two boys didn't care. Chen Jiayi was just 15 years old, and she was so nervous that she kept her head down, afraid of being the first to be challenged.

Although an inner sect teacher told her that it doesn't matter if she loses, as long as she is given time, she will become a leader in the sect sooner or later, so she doesn't need to care, but with so many people watching, how can she really not care.

Zheng Shuo, No. 1 of the outer sect, carried a broad sword on his shoulder, full of confidence, pointed down, and said, "I want to challenge Chu Zhou, please teach me, Senior Brother Chu!"

Zheng Shuo has been practicing for 12 years, and he is only a layer of window paper away from the establishment of the foundation. He has practiced the high-level mountain-shaking swordsmanship of the inner sect. This is what he exchanged for himself at a great price. Rolling is a well-deserved No.1.

Even compared with the inner disciples, what he lacks is only the lack of realm and spiritual power, and his actual combat ability is even much stronger than the average inner disciples.

If he chooses Chen Jiayi, there is no suspense in the result, Chen Jiayi will fail miserably, but what everyone can't imagine is that he chose the most dangerous Chu Zhou.

It can also be seen from here that he is confident, what he wants is not only a ranking in the inner sect, but also everyone's approval.

The rapid rise of Chu Zhou stirred up the situation of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he has already become the object of worship of many inner and outer sect disciples. If Chu Zhou can be suppressed in public, then the worship will fall on him, and he will also gain the favor of the elders of the inner sect. Favor, maybe you can get the true inheritance.

These days, he has already studied Chu Zhou's knowledge thoroughly, and he is confident that he can do it.
