Chapter 11 No winner or loser
Following Shi Jian's loud shout, a huge amount of wood-type spiritual energy quickly gathered above the No. 3 arena.

When its concentration reached a certain level, Shi Jian used the Wood Pile Technique to transform it into dozens of logs as thick as millstones.

"The sacred tree is spiritual. Listen to my command and fall!" Shi Jian shouted.

In an instant, hundreds of logs fell on the No. 3 ring like a rainstorm, and their density was enough to smash all the space on the ring except the place where Shi Jian was standing.

This scene left the disciples in the audience dumbfounded.

They wondered: Was this really a contest between disciples? If so, what were the tactics they had used in the previous contest? Was it just children playing house?
A feeling of confusion quietly spread among the disciples.

On the No. 4 ring, Lin Jiu watched the competition intently.

Seeing the wooden stakes that almost covered the entire No. 3 ring, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Ding Hai.

In Lin Jiu's opinion, the limited area of ​​Ring No. 3 is like a cage for Ding Hai.

If they were in the wild, even if Shi Jian doubled his magic power, he would still find it difficult to force Ding Hai to reveal his whereabouts.

The speed was so fast that it was astonishing. Even if the range of Shi Jian's Mu Chun technique was expanded tenfold, it would be impossible to trap him.

However, the reality is cruel. This competition is limited to the ring, so Ding Hai has only two options.

One is to jump out of the ring and avoid the attack of Mu Chun Da Fa, but this means admitting defeat.

The second is to take risks and advance to face Shi Jian head-on.

But this road is extremely risky, and any mistake could result in life or death.

Shi Jian has a domineering personality. If he really strikes out under pressure, with the attack speed displayed by his Lightning Thunder Fist, no one would be able to stop him in time.

Lin Jiu's thoughts were in a whirlwind, but in reality it was only a moment.

He didn't know that in Ding Hai's eyes, this seemingly impeccable wooden block technique was actually not something to be feared.

Ding Hai, who had been using his magical powers to move around on ring No. 3, did not take the wooden stakes that fell on his head seriously.

He even dared to say that Shi Jian himself did not expect to be able to defeat him with the wooden stake technique alone. These hundred or so wooden stakes were merely tools that Shi Jian used to detect his location.

If nothing unexpected happens, their final showdown will still be between thunder and lightning.

Apart from this, other means would make it difficult for them to determine the winner in a short period of time.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ding Hai flashed in front of Shi Jian, revealed his figure, raised one hand to the sky, and picked up a wooden stake.

The mighty yin and yang, the sun rises in the east; the heart and blood take the lead, and all spirits obey orders; the wind, forest, fire, and volcanoes, the thunder is overwhelming, urgent!
In an instant, the wooden stake in Ding Hai's hand turned into a lightning pillar surrounded by electric light and smashed towards Shi Jian.

Shi Jian looked around and listened carefully, and the moment Ding Hai appeared, he gathered all his magic power and used the Lightning Thunder Fist.

The power of the Red Sky is as fast as lightning and wind; the might of the Dong Gang Tai Xuan shakes the universe; the thunder shakes in all directions, all thunders obey my command, kill!

Driven by Shi Jian, dozens of blue and white lightning bolts headed towards the lightning pillar.

After knowing Ding Hai's background, he also chose his best thunder method to compete with Ding Hai.

In an instant, Arena No. 3 turned into a small sea of ​​thunder, and the wooden stakes falling head-on were blown away by the splashing plasma.

Fortunately, Lin Jiu, Simu, Junior Brother Bing and other strong men ran around and knocked down many logs that crashed into the crowd, otherwise many weaker disciples around might have been seriously injured.

However, even though Lin Jiu and his men worked tirelessly, some logs still slipped through and injured people.

Just when everyone was getting anxious, a peaceful voice came from Chongshou Temple: "That's enough. You two are both good men from Maoshan. You can just compete in the ring to see who's better. Why do you have to go to this?"

The sound came with a light breeze, and as the breeze blew, the spark-sparking electric grid outside the No. 3 ring disappeared instantly.

Although this electric net was the thunder that overflowed when Ding Hai and Shi Jian fought, it was powerful enough to knock down most of the disciples around without any damage.

But such a powerful thunder could not even stop a gust of wind!
Even though they knew that this wind was not an ordinary wind, but that the head of the sect, the Great Immortal Qinghai, was using magic to stop the war, Ding Hai and Shi Jian were still surprised.

Suppressing the fear in their hearts, the two men on the No. 3 ring chose to follow the advice of their leader, Qinghai Zhenren, and stop fighting and make peace.

After withdrawing the stalemate magic power, Ding Hai and the other man looked at each other and tacitly eliminated the hostility in their hearts.

Compared with the silent and gentle fighting style of the leader, Qinghai Zhenren, this fight was nothing but a work of graffiti.

With this understanding, neither Ding Hai nor Ding Hai regards each other as their biggest enemy.

Instead of comparing yourself with others, you might as well broaden your horizons, appreciate the scenery along the way, and prepare to scale higher peaks in the future.

Although they have not yet forgotten their grudges, they will never harbor resentment because of what happened today.

Because their sights have been set on higher places.

Seeing Ding Hai and the other man follow the advice and wave their hands to make peace, Master Qingsong, who had been paying attention to this fight, nodded with satisfaction.

He believes that it is normal for young people to be competitive and have bad tempers, but as long as they have correct values, listen to teachings and have a sense of the overall situation, they will be fine.

In a happy mood, Master Qingsong gently waved his whisk and began to clean up the mess, and suddenly a strong wind blew up.

But this strong wind that could sweep away everything was controlled by him without hurting anyone, and it swept away the mess in front of Chongshou Temple.

After the storm, Qinghai Zhenren walked out of Chongshou Temple and announced to everyone: "This disciple-recruiting ceremony has been successfully concluded. Welcome all disciples to join the Maoshan family. Today, my disciples who are watching look quite tired because of participating in the ring competition, so all kinds of homework will be temporarily rested for a day.

You all should go back to the disciple's courtyard to rest. Starting tomorrow, you will have to abide by the disciple's precepts and practice diligently."

After a considerate and solemn speech, Master Qinghai waved his hand and asked his disciples to disperse.

Only five champions were left alone by the leader Qinghai Zhenren, including Lou Nanguang who had already taken the time to wash and change clothes.

Inside the Chongshou Temple, Qinghai Zhenren sat under the statue of the Three Pure Ones and directly told Ding Hai and the other four the purpose of summoning them.

After investigation, many elders of Maoshan believed that the five of them were promising talents.

The outstanding disciples of the younger generation from the other three families of Sanshan Talisman will be handed over to these five people to deal with things in the future.

If they can handle the situation properly, the five of them will become representatives of the younger generation of Maoshan disciples in the future.

Maoshan will not be stingy with the scene and resources that a facade should have and will equip them with everything.

If handled improperly, even major mistakes may occur.

Although the sect will not take back the resources that have been invested, if you do not have significant achievements, don't expect the sect's preferential treatment in this life.

After Ding Hai and the other four finished reading the sect's preferential treatment regulations handed to them by Qingsong, they all couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

It's not that they are unstable in character, but the generous treatment provided by the sect makes it almost impossible for them to control themselves.

In the eyes of Ding Hai, who has seen some of the world, the sect really suffered a heavy loss this time!
The disciples who are initiated this time will enjoy three incense sticks and ten packets of tonic medicine every month.

In the study of Taoism, all knowledge below the Yin Shen level in the Sutra Repository is open to ordinary disciples.

In order to prevent disciples from taking the wrong path, the sect would arrange for Yin Shen Zhenren to come out and preach for three days and answer questions for two days every ten days.

Every quarter, a practice session would be arranged close to the entrance of the blessed land, so that ordinary disciples could feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more intuitively.

After seeing this kind of treatment, the direct descendants of the real masters in small lineages such as the Qihuang Cave and the Black Water Temple would probably be jealous.

Not every Yin Shen Zhenren values ​​his disciples very much. Some Zhenren with eccentric personalities, after accepting disciples, only leave the Taoist scriptures for the disciples to study on their own and then go into seclusion to practice.

The above-mentioned treatment is only that which ordinary disciples can enjoy. Compared with the five of them, this generous treatment is somewhat not enough.

If the outside world were to know the treatment that Maoshan, a thousand-year-old sect, gives to its outstanding disciples, it would even make many poor people jealous.

In terms of material treatment, not only was the number of wake-up incense increased to ten, but the number of ambergris, which could enhance the cultivation of the Yin Shen Zhenren, was also allocated three.

There are still ten packets of tonic medicine, but according to their current realm, they are also equipped with three additional foundation-building medicinal baths.

After successfully building the foundation, the quality of the medicinal bath will increase along with their cultivation level, and will never leave any shortcomings in their physical bodies.

In terms of diet, the five of them are also different from ordinary disciples.

Ordinary disciples eat from a big pot every day, which is large in quantity and light in taste.

Not only do the five of them receive free medicinal food with every meal on weekdays, they also provide spiritual food grown by the ancestors in the blessed land once a month.

In the study of Taoism, they can not only fully access the knowledge at the Yin God level.

Qinghai Zhenren also assured them that all the Yinshen Zhenren who were not in seclusion in Maoshan would also be fully open to them, and that all the Yinshen Zhenren on the mountain would not hide anything from them and would tell them everything they knew.

As for the resources of the blessed land, although Qinghai Zhenren did not make a clear promise, he said that he would try his best to ensure that they could enter the blessed land before going down the mountain to travel the world, so that they could truly experience what the heyday of the spiritual world was like.

To be honest, if my own thinking had not been mature for a long time, and I had emotional attachment in my heart,

At this moment, Ding Hai wanted to bow down and swear to the sky that he would devote his whole life to the great cause of Maoshan.

However, even if he did not bow down and worship, Ding Hai recognized Maoshan as his master from the bottom of his heart.

There's nothing he can do. It's because his master treats him sincerely and gives him so much.

“From now on, the five of you will shoulder the responsibility of the younger generation of Maoshan.

Whether you can move forward courageously and achieve success depends on you. "

After giving instructions to Ding Hai and the other four, Qinghai Zhenren turned around and left Chongshou Temple.

After watching Master Qinghai leave, Master Qingsong smiled and told Ding Hai and the others, "I know that you all have your own thoughts and plans, but Maoshan is tolerant of everything and can accommodate you all.

You are all smart people, and there is no need for me to say much. As someone who has been through this, I only want to remind you of one thing: remember the precepts of Maoshan, adhere to the belief in the opposition between good and evil, and never go astray.

Otherwise, Maoshan can not only help you soar to the sky, but also throw you into the netherworld to suffer endless hell."

After completing his instructions, Master Qingsong also left.

Although the ceremony of accepting disciples has come to an end, fellow disciples from Jiangnan are still staying.

As the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, he still has to be busy for some days.
