Chapter 5005 External Selection
"The open selection of fire-guarding disciples will start today. I don't know how many people will come from outside."
"Only cultivators above the second star and ninth level are qualified to challenge. I don't think there will be too many people. But every cultivator who comes to challenge is definitely strong."
"This time, for the Five Elements Ceremony, they actually chose outsiders as fire-guarding disciples. I always feel a little uncomfortable."
"Don't think too much. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with becoming a fire-guarding disciple, that is, a member of our Fire Gate."
"If there are no three-star and first-level cultivators, the overall strength of the fire-guarding disciples will not be greatly improved. I always feel that this open selection is a bit useless."
"Even if it is useless, we have to try it. Otherwise, if we can't get the Five Elements Stone this time, the situation of the Fire Gate will be even worse."
...
The Fire Gate became lively because the open selection announced by the Fire Gate before started today.
At this moment, some outside cultivators have entered the Fire Gate, which makes many Fire Gate disciples full of expectations.
On the one hand, the cultivators who came to participate in the selection were not their own people in the eyes of the disciples of the Fire Sect. Everyone was a little xenophobic and did not want to see them win.
On the other hand, the Fire Sect was at a disadvantage among the five sects, so the disciples of the Fire Sect hoped that strong people would emerge and become disciples of fire protection to help the Fire Sect win the first place in the Five Elements Ceremony.
Under this contradictory mentality, the disciples of the Fire Sect rushed to the bottom of Yanshan one after another.
In a vast valley, many people had gathered.
The crowd was still talking, and the scene became more and more lively.
Not long after, under the leadership of an elder with a long beard, seven cultivators in different costumes arrived at the valley under Yanshan.
"It's Elder Xu."
"Elder Xu is responsible for the challenge of the disciples of fire protection, and he is the referee this time."
"The seven people behind him must be the outsiders who came to challenge."
...
The crowd was boiling. They looked at the seven outsiders, curious about their strength and whether they could become disciples of fire protection.
The realm of the seven people was two stars and nine layers.
They were calm and composed, and did not show any fear at all because of the gazes of many Fire Sect disciples. They followed Elder Xu calmly and arrived at an open space in the middle of the valley.
After Elder Xu explained a few words to them, they sat down.
"I recognize that man, it's Lion King Feng!"
One of the Fire Sect disciples pointed to a man with a full face of beard and hair, who looked like a lion, and shouted.
"It's Lion King Feng. It seems that this challenge is really interesting."
"Lion King Feng, whose real name is Feng Linjun, is at the second star ninth level. He is very powerful. He once had the experience of fighting three cultivators of the same level. He is very famous in the East Star Ring."
...
"Is that... Zhang Tan?"
Another person pointed to a dark-faced, sturdy young man and said with some doubt.
"Isn't that Zhang Tan?"
"Zhang Tan is here too. Isn't he in Han Yang Sect?"
"He should have left the sect. But Han Yang Sect is willing to do otherwise for a genius like him. This is a bit strange."
"I'm afraid he has a secret mission and came to our Huomen for other purposes."
"There's nothing wrong with Lion King Feng and Zhang Tan. Did you notice that the man sitting between them looks very dangerous?"
A young man in black sat between Feng Linjun and Zhang Tan.
He had thin features and a slightly pale face. His eyes were indifferent and calm, but cold. His aura was restrained, giving people the feeling that if he didn't move, he would kill people.
All the Huomen disciples who looked at this man couldn't help but feel cold.
Among the seven challengers, although everyone didn't know where he came from, they thought that his strength should be the strongest.
"This person is very dangerous."
"What's dangerous? At most, he can only get a seat as a fire-guarding disciple. He has not reached the three-star realm, and he has no substantial help for the Five Elements Ceremony."
"The seven challengers are all two-star ninth level. It seems that this open selection plan has no effect."
"There will be more people coming tomorrow. I hope there will be a hidden genius of three-star first level."
"Brother Wan and the others are here."
Just then, an excited female voice sounded in the crowd, as if fans saw their idols and were very excited.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to the passageway under Yanshan.
I saw six cultivators dressed in the uniforms of fire-guarding disciples walking out of the passageway, walking slowly towards the direction of Elder Xu.
The six people were restrained and had almost no external energy fluctuations, but the confidence and momentum they revealed while walking were much stronger than those of the seven external challengers.
Especially the three people walking in front, they gave people a feeling of looking up to the mountains.
Even though they were also two-star ninth level, they gave people the feeling that their realm seemed to be more than that.
Of course, the man walking in front is indeed not at the two-star level.
He is Wan Jun, another three-star level one cultivator among the ten fire-guarding disciples, in addition to Li Shuheng.
It must be said, but from the appearance point of view, Wan Jun is a very handsome man.
In addition, he has a high level and is friendly, so he is respected and admired by the fire sect disciples.
Especially among the female disciples, he is the dream lover of countless people.
"Senior Brother Wan."
"Senior Brother Wan."
When Wanjun appeared, the disciples of the Fire Sect saluted one after another, and the cheers were so loud that they even surpassed those when Elder Xu appeared just now, which made Elder Xu laugh.
In fact, Li Shuheng is no worse than Wanjun.
But Li Shuheng is too free and easy, and he only moves in a small circle, so Li Shuheng's reputation among the disciples of the Fire Sect is not as high as Wanjun.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, because Li Shuheng was born in a noble family, while Wanjun started from humble beginnings, so everyone is more willing to regard Wanjun as their idol.
Even many people think that Li Shuheng's current achievements are all due to the resources given to him by the Sect Master and the Great Elder.
"Brother Wan, as soon as you appeared, you stole all the limelight. No one even looked at us straight."
A man on the left side of Wanjun said with a playful smile on his face.
This man is called Huacheng, with a strange name, strong strength, and a playboy.
His strength is also very strong. Although the ten fire-protecting disciples are not ranked, secretly, everyone thinks that he is the first master after Li Shuheng and Wanjun.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Hua Cheng's words, a beautiful woman with a cold temperament on Wan Jun's right snorted coldly, glanced at Hua Cheng with dissatisfaction, and a flash of disgust in the depths of her eyes.
Hua Cheng had a helpless expression: "Miss Shang, how did I provoke you again?"
The Miss Shang he mentioned was another female disciple among the ten fire-guarding disciples besides Xuan Ya, named Shang Lianxiu.
