Chapter 13 If you don't enter the inner courtyard, you are destined to live a relatively failed life Chen Mo ate three eggs this morning, which made his mother sigh. "Even my appetite has increased recently." This is also normal. Although the extraordinary people use their strength by relying on the invisible energy scattered in the world, some places call it aura, some call it true energy, or something else, but the higher the realm, the greater the physical energy consumption will be, so the appetite will also increase. After breakfast, Chen Mo went out to the martial arts school. Today is a big day for Class 1. More than 20 people will be ranked into the top ten under the chairmanship of Old Wu and will participate in the inner courtyard selection. Of course, there is no need for people like Le Mingrui and Huang Cui. In fact, those who have cultivated to a relatively late stage in the awakening realm also have advantages. What they really need to compete for are the positions between 7th and 10th. According to Old Wu's arrangement, everyone practiced on the playground as usual, and he would arrange competitions one by one and rank them reasonably. "What are you looking at? Just practice on your own. If you lose your concentration in such a small situation, how can you go to the martial arts academy to practice in the future? The next group, Zhang Zhe and Mao Qianyi." After he finished reading, he raised his eyes and looked for someone among the students who were practicing separately. At this time, Zhang Zhe, who had semi-long hair and a headband, raised his hand and said, "Teacher Wu, I abstain."
"Oh--" The crowd started to boo. At first, everyone in the class wanted to participate in the selection, mainly because of the excitement. After the enthusiasm died down, most people calmed down, so their willingness was not very strong. Most people just wanted to give it a try, so it was normal to give up. Zhang Zhe blushed a little, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Don't argue, I'm not even in the middle stage of the second realm yet, and I haven't gotten my mind open yet, so there's no hope. If I have time to go for the selection, I might as well practice one more day." This idea is quite realistic, so Old Wu didn't say much. "Then replace Zhang Zhe with Liu Xiaomeng." The girls who were called came forward to compete again. The internal sorting of Class 1 was carried out in a low-key manner, which was actually not much different from the practical classes we sometimes had. For most people, whether or not they can rank in the top ten, or whether or not they can participate in the inner court selection is not a big deal, as they will not be selected anyway. But for Chen Mo, this is a very important matter. Although his current realm is just at the awakening stage, and he has not even gained any experience, his bright and strong acupoints have already been opened. There is still a short time until the selection day. As long as he can open two more orifices and raise his realm to above 500/1000, he will be very confident. No matter what, he had to get into the top ten today, so he even stayed in the classroom and waited, simply standing next to Huang Cui. "Your standing posture is very stable." The round-faced girl whispered, "Teach me." Chen Mo shrugged. "It's simple. You just need to open a Gang Acupoint. It doesn't strengthen the muscles in your body, but makes the Qi in your body stronger, which can be used to feed back to all aspects related to the body." Huang Cui agreed with what he said, and then smiled innocently: "It's just like what you said." Chen Mo's face twitched and he was immediately embarrassed. Because the girl sitting next to him was too honest, he was too embarrassed to refute her words. popping. At this time, Old Wu suddenly clapped his hands in front.
"Okay, now I have roughly arranged for everyone to compete, starting from the third place, they are..." "Hey! Teacher Wu, I haven't played yet!" Chen Mo, who was chatting and laughing with his female classmate in the last second, became anxious. He was sure that he had opened up his two strongest acupoints in the early stage, which was enough to make it into the top ten in the class, but he had to have a chance to play. Old Wu glared at him and said, "Don't worry, you have your chance. Now listen to me, Zhao Yuzhou is third, Peng Fei is fourth, Sun Rudong is ninth, and Cao Fei is tenth. This is my preliminary list." Most students in Class 1 agree with this result. After all, everyone practices together and knows each other's level. Old Wu continued, "However, in order to prevent mistakes, you can now freely challenge each other. If you think you are in a certain position, you can come up and try it out. You can fight anyone you want." Chen Mo understood. So I was the one who made the mistake. Okay, okay, the second villain appears, who are you looking down on? He raised his hand on the spot. “Me!” “Me!” “Me!” As a result, three sounds were heard. Apart from him, there were two other people who seemed unconvinced. Old Wu was not surprised by this and randomly pointed to the one closest to him: "Qiao Zihao, you go first, who do you want to challenge?" "Cao Fei." The short-haired student who was called came out. This choice is reasonable. Since only the top ten are useful, it is more cost-effective to choose Cao Fei, who is ranked tenth. In comparison, Cao was quite depressed. He could predict that if the people behind him wanted to challenge him, they would probably choose him, but there was nothing he could do because he could not beat Sun Rudong, who was ranked ninth. With no other options, Cao Fei also came out. However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Mo came out of the line with him. "No, don't be impatient. Wait until Zihao and I have beaten you before you come." Cao Fei said. Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, I know, I'll go wait over there first." After saying that, he walked across the small open space for the competition and squatted down next to Old Wu. "Teacher Wu, you can't forget about me. If you forget about me, I won't be able to participate in the competition. If I don't participate in the competition, I won't be able to get the chance to be selected into the inner courtyard. If I can't enter the inner courtyard, I'm doomed to live a relatively failed life." The negative emotions of the whole class are +999. Old Wu felt his head buzzing: "Stop nagging, it will be your turn after they finish fighting."
At this time, Cao Fei and Qiao Zihao were already standing at the sidelines. They clasped their fists in salute and said in unison, "We're ready." "start." Following Old Wu's sudden command, the two men moved at the same time. The core purpose of the preparatory martial arts school is selection, not teaching, so at this stage no martial arts techniques are taught, and only some very basic fighting moves are given. Therefore, the main means of fighting between the two sides are fists and feet. Cao Fei has always been the kind of person who follows the rules and makes steady progress. His cultivation progress is the same as that of most people. He successfully entered the Qi Refining Realm in three months, and it took another half a year for him to gain enlightenment. The difference is that he is really steady. When others reach the state of enlightenment, their progress will slow down due to the limitations of their own talents and the increased difficulty of practice. But he is different. He has been making progress and has now reached the middle stage of enlightenment. The gap between ordinary people often widens silently in this way. However, Qiao Zihao was indeed qualified to challenge. He was a slow starter and was slightly behind at the beginning, ranking about 30th in the class, but he gradually got into the groove and improved faster and faster, and is now recognized as being around 12th or 13th. Maybe if he gets determined, he will have a chance to enter the top 10. Many people stopped practicing and stretched their necks to see the result. Crack! The two men on the field collided with each other's bodies, making crisp sounds. After a series of punches and palm strikes, it was not clear who was better. This showed that the two men's realms were almost the same. But then, changes occurred. After the fight, Qiao Zihao's first reaction was to retreat, but Cao Fei took a step forward, stepped his right foot between the opponent's feet, and followed aggressively. (End of this chapter)
