Chapter 45 Competition (above)
After Xu Chuniang finished her greetings, she began to watch the contest in the ring.
“No. 35 Zhao Yushan, Alchemy Grade A. Versus number thirty-six, Zhou Houde, Alchemy A class. Go up to ring number eight to compete.”
Xu Chuniang could see at a glance that this Zhao Yushan was already a cultivator at the third level of Qi cultivation, while this Zhou Houde, however, was only at the second level of Qi cultivation, and this match was expected to end soon.
Sure enough, after Zhao Yushan stepped onto the stage, she directly sent out three wind blades to force her way towards Zhou Houde, winning with a crushing advantage.
Many inner disciples saw this battle and commented, ”This one called Zhao Yushan is not bad. A refining armor and the like, her cultivation is more solid, and her use of arts is also very skillful.”
“It’s okay, but right now it’s only the first match, let’s see more.”
Xu Chuniang looked at it for a while before withdrawing her gaze without much interest.
She had experienced the real killings in the Hundred Demon Mountain Range and naturally understood that in battle, checking and killing the enemy was the key.
If she hadn’t been to the Hundred Demon Mountain Range before, she might still be attracted to the fights on the stage, but after real life-and-death training, this kind of slightly demonstrative fights no longer attracted her at all.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chuniang finally heard her name.
“Three hundred and twenty-seven Xu Chunniang, Spirit Plant Class A. Battle against number three hundred and twenty-eight Wang Youcai, Royal Beast A class. Go up to ring number three to compete.”
Xu Chuniang’s spirit lifted, it was finally her turn!
On ring number three, Xu Chuniang glanced at Wang You Cai, but with a cultivation of the second level of Qi cultivation.
She directly performed a Water Binding Technique, dryly trapping the man inside. Then stepped forward and kicked him off the ring.
The steward in charge of ring number three was a bit dumbfounded, waiting for Xu Chuniang to walk off the stage before declaring Xu Chuniang the winner.
Xu Chuniang’s fight had also attracted the attention of some of the inner disciples.
“Wow, the casting speed of this Water Binding Technique is too fast, it was cast in almost the blink of an eye. It’s obvious that this disciple named Xu Chuniang has definitely put in some hard work on this piece of the art.”
“Her opponent was only a cultivator at the second level of Qi cultivation, it’s normal to be suppressed in a single glance, such a performance is just fair, nothing to be praised. What’s the use of being fast in arts, but practicing more attentively.”
“It’s a pity that she even chose to specialize in Spirit Plant, this specialty has no future.”
“Moreover, she has a birthmark on her face, her looks are too unimpressive.”
After a few sentences of discussion, a few people stopped paying attention to Xu Chuniang and paid attention to the others.
After Xu Chuniang stepped down from the ring, she went to collect her number plate for the second match. She was the one hundred and sixty-second winner, so the number plate she received this time was number one hundred and sixty-two.
Another long wait followed, but upon hearing a familiar name, Xu Chunniang’s heart moved slightly.
“Number three hundred and eighty-nine Su Chen, Rune Seal Grade A. Match against number three hundred and ninety Cai Ran, Formation A class. Go up to ring number six to compete.”
Su Chen, was the one who, like her, had gone to the Hundred Demon Mountain Range to train alone!
Xu Chuniang hurriedly looked towards ring number six, and saw a beautiful young girl standing pretty on the ring, was Su Chen her?
But see another young man walked up to the ring, he looks at best is considered to be clean-cut, but also can not see any outstanding features.
After the steward in charge of ring number six announced the start, the teenager raised his hand and spilled out three talisman seals, directly sealing the girl’s body.
“Three fireball talismans, as long as you move you will explode oh.” The teenager winked towards the young girl and threatened in a half-joking tone.
The beautiful young girl was angry and scared, tears were coming out of her eyes, “Borrowing external power …… you’re cheating!”
“The competition doesn’t seem to have a rule that says you can’t use talismans.”
The teenager spoke indifferently, and instead of retreating under his control, the fireball talisman pressed even closer to the young girl. As a matter of fact, there were indeed quite a few people who had used talisman seals and even spirit weapons in the previous battle. There was simply no such thing as not being allowed to borrow external power.
The young girl could only admit defeat and jumped down from the ring unwillingly.
The steward of ring number six immediately announced, “Su Chen wins.”
Xu Chuniang suddenly realized that this teenager who did not show any mercy was Su Chen. He had studied the specialty of talismanic seals, so perhaps these lower-grade fireball talismans were drawn by him.
As time passed, the second competition started tightly. This time, there were only two hundred participants left.
Among these two hundred people, the number of those at the third level of Qi cultivation and those at the second level of Qi cultivation each accounted for half.
The steward presiding over the competition intentionally wanted to eliminate all those at the second level of qi cultivation, and arranged for their opponents to all be at the third level of qi cultivation, and the speed of this second competition, on the contrary, was even faster than the first one.
Xu Chuniang didn’t have to wait long before she was greeted by her opponent, a cultivator at the second level of Qi cultivation. Again, it was a Water Binding Technique plus a kick, and it didn’t take much to send the person down.
After advancing, Xu Chuniang received the number plate for the third match, which was number seventy-eight.
The second match ended quickly, and those who entered the third round were almost all cultivators at the third level of Qi cultivation.
As the third match took place, the inner disciples looked serious.
“This Zhao Yushan is not bad, I’ve been paying attention to her since the first match, the techniques are very skillful and the timing is very good.”
“Tang Nian from ring number four is also not bad, a handful of earth magic spells are steady.”
“It’s just that I’m afraid these outstanding squires won’t get our turn, we’ll have to be picked first by our senior brothers.”
There were also rules for inner disciples to pick their escorts. Before they came they had already ranked them through a competition, from first place to one hundred and six. The first place was the first to pick, and only one escort could be picked at a time. There were two rounds of selection.
“It’s a pity that Senior Sister Shangguan didn’t participate in the competition, or else she would definitely be the proper first place and be able to pick the best quality escorts.”
“Senior sister is a single spirit root of the ice system, an absolute genius disciple. Even if you don’t want a squire, you won’t lose to anyone.”
“Even if we have also entered the inner sect, compared to Senior Sister Shangguan, there is still a big difference.”
Not all inner sect disciples would pick their escorts, some truly strong people often disdained this. For example, Shangguan Xue, or Huangfu Tian. They were all extremely confident in their own strength.
A few people chatted for a few moments before stopping the conversation and re-watching the match on the stage.
Due to the small difference in cultivation between the disciples in the third match, the battle was somewhat stalemated, and the progress was much slower than the first two matches.
However, the number of participants was only one hundred, and Xu Chuniang’s waiting time wasn’t too long.
“No. 77 Wu Sheng, Alchemy Grade A, versus No. 78 Xu Chuniang, Spirit Plant Grade A. Go up to ring number two to compete.”
Xu Chunniang walked over towards ring number two, her opponent already standing on the stage.
“Water Binding Technique.”
Without the slightest hint of suspense, Wu Sheng was wrapped tightly in a ball of water.
He fought to break free from the water ball, but unfortunately, no matter how much he struggled, it was useless.
Xu Chuniang stepped forward and kicked him out of the ring, resolving the fight dryly.
“Xu Chunniang wins!”
