After another day of rest, the fourth round of assessment officially began.

Today, there are only 16 disciples gathered in the challenge arena, but these 16 disciples almost represent the top fighting capacity of the disciples of Duobao sect.

Today's 16 into eight competition is very important, because after this competition, the top eight students of duobaozong will be born, and after that, there will be eight defeated students competing for the position, the duel is very wonderful.

At the moment, the great master came to the arena and said slowly to the top 16 disciples below: "first of all, my master is here to congratulate you. Now you are still standing in the arena, which shows that your strength is enough to win the top of the whole Duobao sect."

"Although the next competition is cruel, the patriarch still hopes you can stop. Don't hurt your classmates for the sake of fighting. Next, the patriarch announces the rules of the competition. First of all, we will draw lots to select the students to fight, then decide the top eight, and the eight students who are eliminated will be caught and killed. Finally, we will decide the ninth to sixteenth The order of the names. "

In fact, nine to sixteen disciples have to go through several battles to determine their ranking. Those who are eliminated at this stage still have to fight. It's very hard, but you work hard, and others work hard. Everyone is the same.

But if they were injured in the previous battle, it would be a big disadvantage for them in the next game.

"94, vs. 6." Nie Zhen's number was extracted by the four masters, and the person who fought with him was the sixth in the core disciples of Duobao sect.

The core disciple of duobaozong ranks sixth, that is to say, he is the first disciple of duobaozong after excluding the five chief disciples. His name is Xia Mao, and he is the second elder martial brother of the main lineage, second only to Qin Wushi.

Duan Rong, the second patriarch, was really relieved when Nie Zhen's name list came out. Although Xia Mao was strong, his accomplishments were only the second section of Tianjing after all. Nie Zhen had almost all the advantages in the same level, so it was no problem to deal with Xia Mao.

In this way, Nie Zhen is sure to be in the top eight. In his first year in the sect, he went all the way from a senior disciple to a core disciple, and then he broke into the top eight all at once. This is a valiant achievement that Qin Wusi never had.

Duan Rong is very excited at the thought of this, but the next moment, his heart is dead

Because his second disciple, Yin Nian, actually got Qin Wusi.

Just now Duan Rong's good mood was completely gone. When Yin Nian met Qin Wusi, he could only win as he said before.

Yin Nian's original ranking was the seventh, and the result was good, but unfortunately, when Qin Wushi met him, it seemed that he could only fight for the ninth this year.

As for the fate of the other two disciples, it's not good or bad. Song Donger's opponent is weak, while Jian Yong's opponent is the second disciple of the third patriarch. His strength should not be as good as that of the other, and he is expected to lose. But Jian Yong's strength may not reach the top ten, so it's not too bad.

Since there are only eight groups of students participating in this competition, one round can be finished, regardless of the first or second batch.

Nie Zhen and his opponent came to both sides of the challenge arena at the same time and stood opposite each other.

Xia Mao is a young man in a green suit. He has an ordinary appearance and a tall and straight figure. But the most eye-catching thing is that he carries a fairy sword behind him.

The core disciples all have Najie. They usually put all the spiritual weapons into Najie, and rarely see people carrying weapons behind them.

There is only one kind of people who can carry the sword behind them, that is the authentic swordsman.

The martial arts and tricks practiced by these people are all related to swords. They are very persistent people. The weapons they use in their life will only be swords. Even if other higher spiritual weapons are placed in front of them, they will only choose swords.

Xia Mao on the challenge arena looks at Nie Zhen and hums coldly to him: "Nie Zhen, right? I saw the scene when you defeated Shen Tiannan, but that's all. In front of my Kendo, your moves are not good enough! "

Nie Zhen toward him a faint smile, but did not respond, for this kind of cruel words of mouth gun, he really too understand, also have no time to fight back.

But Nie Zhen's neglect made Xia Mao feel guilty, so he continued: "do you think it's so easy to be a genius? Even my elder martial brother Qin Wusi, with his talent, still stayed out of the top ten in the first year. Do you think your talent is above him? "

Nie Zhen looked at Xia Mao and said calmly, "I don't know who is better or weaker than him, but I don't care. He is him and I am me. Have you been comparing yourself with others all the way?"

"You..." Xia Mao just want to fight back, but see Nie Zhen sharp eyes, the words behind actually miraculously swallow back.

"To be honest, deep down in your heart, do you really think that your talent is inferior to that of elder martial brother Qin Wusi?" Nie Zhen's words pierce Xia Mao's heart.

"I My talent is natural... " Xia Mao doesn't want to admit that his talent is not as good as Qin Wushi's. although this is a fact, his self-esteem can't be admitted by himself."Nature what?! The way of cultivation should be against the heaven. The level of talent is always a small aspect. The way of heaven rewards diligence is the way of king! Kendo is a Zhongzheng soldier. You practice Kendo hard, but you are ashamed of your talent. You have fallen behind. Since you are addicted to Kendo, you should cultivate your Kendo well. If you think so many people don't have it, just because of your talent, you will be defeated today

Nie Zhen's words are like a hammer hitting Xia Mao's innermost heart. Once upon a time, he was not convinced that he was not as good as Qin Wusi. However, as time went by, Qin Wusi's cultivation status became higher and higher. He seemed to be his elder martial brother. He also acquiesced to this level gap and was at ease to be the second in ten thousand years.

But at the bottom of Xia Mao's heart, he never thought that through his own efforts, he would surpass Qin Wusi one day? Not for the name of elder martial brother, just for the most primitive ambition as a cultivator.

Don't mention these things to others. Even myself, I only dare to have a little fantasy in my heart in the dead of night, but no one ever says it to me.

And Nie Zhen just like a slap in the face, directly said the deepest point in Xia Mao's heart.

The disciples of duobaozong are afraid to speak now. It has been more than ten years. Qin Wusi has been the first disciple of duobaozong for more than ten years, and his position is almost unshakable. In their opinion, Nie Zhen's words are just treason!

But Nie Zhen's momentum made them unable to refute. They even had a deep sense of identity. Even Xia Mao, the client, was silent in Nie Zhen's words at the moment.

Yes, although talent is important, if you accept your destiny because of talent, it's too bloodless!

All the people present, whether they are core students, advanced students or even ordinary students, once had the dream of being a genius, but they gave up because of the constant blow of reality.

Now hearing Nie Zhen's words, the natural blood is surging up.

"Hoo..." Xia Mao closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally relaxed from Nie Zhen's enlightening words. His eyes were very clear at the moment.

When the great patriarch saw this scene from a high place, his eyes suddenly brightened. How could Xia Mao escape the eyes of the three saints? From Xia Mao's clear eyes, the great patriarch knew that his realm was very different.

"Second, thank you very much this time." The great patriarch looked at the second patriarch and said with a smile.

"The second is the realm of the disciple, but the disciple of Duobao sect doesn't have it. From his tone, he doesn't have the attitude of convincing the eldest disciple Qin Wusi. This positive spirit is valuable." The four patriarchs laughed at them.

"Everyone can say beautiful words, but the gap in strength is in front of us. Sometimes, we can't just rely on efforts to reverse the gap in strength..." The fifth patriarch sighed. Naturally, his words have some truth. Sometimes, the talent gap is too big. No matter how hard you try, it's useless.

But from another point of view, your talent is not good, you are not willing to work hard, then you will not waste your life? The more you don't have talent as capital, the more you should work hard with an unyielding momentum. This is the right way.

Even if you still can't surpass others in the future, at least in retrospect, you won't regret it.

Just when the five main shocks were shocked by Nie Zhen's words, Xia Mao on the challenge arena solemnly hugged Nie Zhen and said, "younger martial brother Nie, what you said today is like a piece of inspiration. I am deeply inspired and admire you. If one day I can achieve great success in kendo, I will thank you for your kindness today!"

Nie Zhen light smile: "it seems that you have a clear understanding?"

Xia Mao said with a smile: "ha ha, I thought too much before. I should have been immersed in kendo, but I was distracted by common things. No wonder Kendo has been developing so slowly in recent years. Younger martial brother Nie, you were born in a dependent country, but you can have today's cultivation and strength. It seems that it's not just a gift. I'm afraid it has a lot to do with your realm. My master once taught us What is the realm? I just didn't understand it at that time. Today, I seem to have reached the threshold. "

Up to now, Xia maocai somehow understood what kind of concept the master was talking about.

"But you are wrong about one thing, younger martial brother Nie." Xia Mao talks a wind to turn, Dynasty Nie Zhen says.

"What did I say wrong?" Nie Zhen doubts a way.

"Shua!" Xia Mao took out his sword from behind and said with a smile to Nie Zhen, "you said that I must be defeated in your hands today. I don't think so about that."

"Ha ha ha! Good Nie Zhen laughed twice, took out a Yang Sword from Najie, pulled out the scabbard of the sword, pointed to Xia Mao and said, "this is the sword given by my master. Today I'll have a sword duel with elder martial brother Xia, which can also exercise my sword skill!"
