don't show

When he looked over, she even blinked at him. This look contained countless charms.

Li Baizhang also saw this scene, gulped down a big sip of tea, got up and said, "I'm leaving, don't forget to go to the Department of Unusual Magic to register your name!"

Li Baizhang mentioned this matter, and just as everyone was there, Lingyin suggested that they go together.

The upcoming competition will be organized by the Department of Anomaly.

All the participants in the small competition must go to the Department of Different Arts to sign up one month before the start of the competition.

The purpose of the registration is to find out the strength of all the contestants. After all, there are more than ten countries and hundreds of contestants participating in the competition. It is impossible to rank them one by one, so the competition adopts an elimination system. In the first two rounds, as long as If you fail once, you will be eliminated directly.

If you don't check the bottom line in advance, but draw completely randomly, it may happen that Zhao Lingjun meets Chiba Rin in the first round, and the top five contenders in the big competition will be eliminated in the first round of the small competition qualifying round.

After knowing their strength, the Department of Abnormal Arts will make arrangements, at least to ensure that in the first few rounds, the ground level will never encounter the ground level.

As for the Xuan rank, I can't control that much. Even if it is the peak of Xuan rank, it is impossible to get a good ranking in the big competition. The imperial court will not change the rules for them. It is very cumbersome to organize hundreds of people to compete. And troublesome things, too much consideration will make the process of the competition more cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive.

Therefore, Qianye Lin, Lingyin, Qin Wan, and Ning'er are absolutely safe, but Lin Xiu is not necessarily.

In theory, he has the possibility of a round trip.

If he unfortunately meets Zhao Lingjun in the first round, he will be eliminated.

On the way to the Department of Different Arts, Lingyin glanced at Lin Xiu and said, "I hope you don't meet us in the first competition..."

Lin Xiu also took a look at Lingyin and said, "If I meet you in the first match, I won't hold back."

Lingyin rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's as if you are my opponent."

"Would you like to compete?"

"When I go back, I'm afraid of you?"

……

Qianye Lin looked at Lin Xiu curiously. She also just found out that Lin Xiu's strength is only at the Xuan level.

She originally thought that even if Zhao Lingjun's husband was not as good as hers, he should still have the strength of the earth.

What made her feel even more strange was that they didn't look like a couple.

On the contrary, it was her younger sister who seemed to be more suitable for him.

After returning to the new house after recording the names of the Department of Different Arts, Zhao Lingyin stood in the yard and said to Lin Xiu: "Aren't you going to have a competition?"

Lin Xiudao: "Come on..."

Listen to Li Baizhang, the top ten of the Tianjiao list, there is also a woman from the Daluo Dynasty, the ability of strange magic is also ice, you may encounter it in the big competition, Lin Xiu just tried it, facing Yuanli, which is a big realm beyond him, at the same time What kind of feeling does it feel when facing an opponent with this ability.

Qin Wan and Qianye Lin also stood on the corridor, looking at them.

Lin Xiu and Lingyin were three feet apart, which was also the standard distance that the two contestants had to keep at the beginning of the small competition and the big competition.

If the distance is too close, the different magicians who have no defense ability will be instantly killed by warriors whose realm is one level lower than them.

Three feet is a more appropriate distance.

Qin Wan said "Start", and Lin Xiu's figure disappeared in place.

During the competition, the only abilities he can use are ice, strength, gold, mesh, and speed within a reasonable range.

Because of strength, speed, and defense, it can also be done by running true qi, and it will not arouse suspicion.

It is impossible for Lin Xiu to defeat Lingyin by relying on different skills alone. From the very beginning, he had to look for opportunities to get close.

Two feet, one foot.

When Lin Xiu came within a foot of her, he could no longer approach her.

Lin Xiu stood where he was, with a layer of frost forming on his eyebrows and hair, his body became very stiff, and he couldn't move his hands and feet, yet he felt cold. He hadn't felt such cold for a long time...

This kind of cold, from the outside to the inside, penetrates into the bone marrow.

This is obviously the suppression of the realm.

This area is her domain.

But in the next moment, when the power of fire in Lin Xiu's body circulated, most of the chill was dissipated, and the frozen body resumed its activities.

But at this time, an ice spear condensed in Lingyin's hand was already pointed at him.

According to the rules of the competition, Lin Xiu has already lost.

She looked at Lin Xiu and asked, "Are you convinced?"

Lin Xiu already had a conclusion in her mind.

Seriously, Lingyin is no match for him.

Although she is higher than his level, Lin Xiu still has the ability of fire. Even if she can't restrain her, she can weaken the effect of his ability. She can't stop him from getting close.

Once again, she is the loser.

From this point of view, even if Lin Xiu met Da Luo's genius, he would not be too passive.

Seeing Lingyin's proud expression, Lin Xiu hugged her arms tightly, her body trembling slightly, and said in a very face-to-face way: "I'm convinced..."

Zhao Lingyin raised her chin slightly, and her chest puffed up a little. At this moment, in front of Lin Xiu, she finally regained her previous feeling.

Just when she was proud of herself, Qin Wan quickly walked up to the shivering Lin Xiu, rubbed her hands to warm them up, held Lin Xiu's hand, and said, "Go back to your room first, go to bed and put on the quilt, I'll sleep through it." A bowl of ginger soup, to warm you up..."

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Zhao Lingyin stood there in a daze.

She just won.

It seems like he didn't win.

Chapter 218

In the room, Lin Xiu leaned against the head of the bed, covered with two layers of quilts.

In fact, he is not cold, even if he is cold, he can heat himself to keep warm, but lying on the bed comfortably, Qin Wan sits on the edge of the bed and feeds ginger soup into his mouth spoon by spoon, but it is not always possible. .

Even though the two kissed and hugged each other, Lin Xiu also tried her handicraft twice, but apart from these, nothing happened to them.

No matter when kissing passionately or hugging each other, Qin Wan didn't even allow his hands to move.

He knew that this was her trick, but he couldn't force it.

Lin Xiu had a faint premonition that if she went on like this, he might really lose.

She is a goblin.

Qin Wan fed Lin Xiu spoon by spoon. Zhao Lingyin stood at the door and watched for a while, and finally couldn't help but walked in, saying, "Let me feed him, I made him look like this."

Qin Wan said: "No need, I still owe him a lot of silver, if you feed him once, you can save ten Wen."

Zhao Lingyin looked at Qin Wan, she knew what this woman was thinking.

Qin Wan owed Lin Xiu 1 taels of silver, so she would have to pay it back for several lifetimes.

She just depends on him.

However, what can I do?

Even my sister is not qualified to control her, and she is even less qualified.

She is just a little regretful now, why did she act bravely just now, if she didn't act bravely, and insisted on proving that she is better than him, Qin Wan would have no chance to take advantage of it.

But she really hoped that she was better than Lin Xiu, maybe it was because the person who needed her protection in the past had gradually surpassed her, which caused a gap in her heart, or maybe it was because she wanted to protect him as before... …

After drinking the ginger soup, Lin Xiu wrapped herself in the quilt and thought about one thing.

He didn't know the detailed rules of the small competition before, but he just felt that with his strength, it was not easy to get a place to enter the big competition.

After the small competition, there is still half a year before the big competition. In this six months, he has gradually raised his cultivation to the ground level, and it is completely in time.

But now a problem arises.

At the time of Xiaobi, there was a protection mechanism for the earth ranks, which would not allow them to be eliminated in the first two rounds, but there was no Mystery Rank, and the minimum requirement for participating in the competition was the Mysterious Rank.

If he meets Zhao Lingjun in the first or second round, or a seed player who has been promoted to the ground for several years, he may overturn.

No wonder Princess Minghe is depressed these days. She hasn't made a breakthrough yet. Like Lin Xiu, if she meets Zhao Lingjun or other strong people in the lottery, she will be eliminated in the first round, and she won't even be eligible to participate in the competition.

Above the arena, everyone is treated equally, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, even Emperor Xia can't blatantly specialize.

Even she couldn't, let alone Lin Xiu.

To be honest, this rule is very cruel, especially for those who are at the top of the mysterious upper realm. If they are unlucky, they will lose the opportunity to participate in the big competition in the first round. Can easily advance.

But for the imperial court, those young geniuses at the lower level are Dabi's hope, and those below the lower level are their stepping stones. There is no difference between the elimination of Xiaobi and the elimination of Dabi.

Lin Xiu seldom does things that are not sure, even if the risk is small, but it always exists. At this time, Xiaobi is still a month away. If he can secretly sneak into the Leidu Java Kingdom where Li Baizhang practiced, he may not be able to do it before Xiaobi. breakthrough.

After making a decision in her heart, Lin Xiu came to Xue's house.

Old Master Xue did not allow him to have too close contact with Ning'er, but he couldn't control the two of them practicing together. He and Ning'er were feeding each other moves in the yard, but the moves were limp and powerless, not like they were practicing. It's more like flirting.

Old Master Xue was sitting at the stone table, although the expression on his face was not very good-looking, but it was fine.

Lin Xiu asked: "Ning'er, have you registered with the Department of Abnormal Arts?"

Xue Ning'er said: "I went there this morning."

She slapped Lin Xiu's chest lightly, took the opportunity to touch his chest muscles secretly, and asked suddenly: "You, will we meet during the competition? What if we meet?"

She just likes to think wildly, Lin Xiu replied: "Although the possibility is unlikely, it cannot be completely ruled out."

Xue Ning'er smiled and said, "If I meet you, I will admit defeat."

It doesn't matter whether she wins or not, but Lin Xiu must not lose. She is still waiting for him to marry her after winning the contest.

Old Duke Xue coughed heavily, and said: "If you dare to admit defeat, the old man will take back his previous promise. If he wants to marry you, he must show some real skills and marry you in a dignified manner. Don't let the old man look down upon you!"

Lin Xiu squeezed Xue Ning'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, there are 800 people participating in the competition. It's not such a coincidence that we just met."

Lin Xiu and Ning'er chatted while feeding the moves, and learned that Xue's family participated in the competition this time, as well as her brothers.

However, none of them reached the ground level.

Compared with other families, the Xue family does have few successors, no wonder old Duke Xue pins all his hopes on Ning'er.

Before leaving, Lin Xiu said to Ning'er: "I may not be able to visit you this month. I plan to go out to practice and look for opportunities. It's more secure."

Although Xue Ning'er was a little bit reluctant, she still nodded and said: "You have been together, if the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night, I will wait for you to come back."

She secretly kissed Old Master Xue on the cheek while he was not looking.

When Lin Xiu left Xue's residence, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Stop."

Lin Xiu turned her head, Old Master Xue handed over a palm-sized jade box, and said, "Take it."

"This is..." Lin Xiu took the jade box, opened it, and found a fifth-order Yuanjing inside. He quickly said, "Old Xue, this is too precious..."

Old Master Xue waved his hand, and said: "Ning'er is already on the ground floor, this thing is useless, and the rest of the boys in the family are too muddy to support the wall, and it's a waste to give them, you can keep it for use."

Tier [-] alien beasts are easy to kill, but Yuanjing is rare, and even the royal family has nothing to spare. This gift is as light as nothing, but it is also as heavy as ten thousand catties.

Old Master Xue took a look at Lin Xiu and said, "This is my granddaughter, don't let her down..."

Today, he has completely regarded Lin Xiu as one of his own.

Originally, he was resistant and unacceptable to the dignified heaven-ranked powerhouse, the granddaughter of the second-class Duke of Daxia, marrying someone else as a concubine.

Later, it occurred to him that his first wife was Zhao Lingjun.

Anyone else, he might not agree.

But if it was Zhao Lingjun, Ning'er would not be wronged.

Of course, what's more important is that Lin Xiu's performance during these days is remarkable. Apart from being too inattentive, she doesn't seem to have any other shortcomings. As long as he treats Ning'er well, Ning'er can be happy. That's all...

After leaving Xue's mansion, Lin Xiu came to Changchun Palace.

In the past few months, he has been away from Beijing more and more times, and this time he will probably be away from the capital for another month, so naturally he must not forget to talk to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine is drawing pictures in the palace courtyard. She usually has nothing to do in Changchun Palace. When she is bored, she will use these things to relieve her loneliness.

After listening to Lin Xiu, she said in a melancholy tone, "I'm leaving again..."

Lin Xiudao: "I have prepared a gift for my mother. When I come back, it should be ready soon."

Originally, she was a little disappointed when she heard that Lin Xiu would leave for a month, but she heard that Lin Xiu had prepared a gift for her, and it would take a full month to prepare. full of anticipation.

Lin Xiu didn't say much, but said: "The empress will know when the time comes."
