After this incident, Xu Chunniang finally understood why Senior Sister Lan Wei always acted so arrogant and ignored others.
If she behaved more approachable, the worship and admiration of her fellow disciples would seriously hinder her spiritual life.
Fortunately, Xu Chunniang’s goal is to enter the top ten in this final, obtain the foundation-building pill and thus build her foundation.
Although her fame brought her some troubles, as long as she successfully established her foundation, she would be able to enter the inner gate and stay away from these troubles.
After all, no matter how fanatical these junior brothers and sisters are, they will not chase after us into the inner sect.
To put it another way, if they were inspired by her and could practice hard to enter the inner gate on their own, it would not be a bad thing.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, put these things aside for the time being, and concentrated on recovering her spiritual power.
There are four matches in the finals, two each tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, with high intensity and frequency.
One point will be added for each win, and no points will be added or subtracted for a loss. After four matches, the person with the most points will be promoted to the top ten of the competition.
If the scores are the same, the other two people will take an additional test to decide the winner. This situation is not common.
In a fight, you must try your best to ensure that you do not get seriously injured. Otherwise, even if you win this fight, it will be very disadvantageous for the next few fights.
But in the final, everyone tried to win at all costs, using all kinds of means.
Even disciples as powerful as Lan Wei and Xia Changge could not achieve absolute crushing power and could not guarantee easy victory in every battle.
In the last outer sect competition, Lan Wei had sustained some injuries in the duel with Tang Li and had never fully recovered. Afterwards, she sustained further injuries from repeated battles and finally lost to another disciple in the group by one point, missing out on the top ten.
This is Xu Chunniang's first time participating in the outer sect competition, so naturally she dare not be careless at all. She will give her all in tomorrow's competition.
She has confidence that is no less than any other cultivator of the same period, and she will never let go of the opportunity to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and meditated quietly, waiting for the dawn to come.
At 3:30 pm, we go to the training ground.
Elder Lu, the Jindan cultivator who presided over this outer sect competition, glanced calmly at all the disciples and spoke in a solemn voice.
"You all who have made it this far must be the most powerful people in the outer sect. It has been thousands of years since Xiaoyao Sect was founded in Qianluo Realm. The competition was established since the founding of the sect and has continued to this day. The rules have never changed. I think every disciple present here knows it well."
Elder Lu paused for a moment and continued, "You may all know the rules of the competition, but I still want to reiterate them here. The top ten in the competition will be given a top-grade foundation-building pill, a top-grade spiritual weapon, and the qualification to enter the Xiaoze Realm.
Of course, you can also choose not to enter Xiaoze Realm. Xiaoze Realm has both opportunities and risks. You can judge for yourself.
For the disciples who fail to make it into the top ten, the sect will give them a top-grade spiritual weapon and a bottle of top-grade vitality pill as encouragement. We hope that you can go further in the next outer sect competition.
Okay, that's the rules. Everyone will be divided into groups by drawing lots, and then the first group will start competing in pairs."
Fifty disciples stepped forward one by one and began to draw lots. Whichever group they drew became their group and no changes could be made.
Many people prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping that they would not be unlucky enough to be assigned to the same group with Lan Wei, Xia Changge, Gan Yiqiu and others.
If they are assigned to other groups, they still have some chances.
But if I were to be in the same group with these long-established masters, it would basically be hopeless for me to make it into the top ten in this competition.
"Don't ever do three or six sets. Don't ever do three or six sets."
A female cultivator held the jade token in her hand and said a few prayers before nervously opening it.
After seeing that she was assigned to Group Four, she breathed a sigh of relief. So far, she had not heard of any particularly talented people in Group Four.
"I would like to go to Group 3 and Group 6 to compete with Lan Wei and Xia Changge on the same stage and see who is better."
A handsome and elegant male cultivator smiled and casually took a jade token from the table. It was Gan Yiqiu, who was as famous as Lan Wei and Xia Changge.
Upon hearing this, the people around him couldn't help but look at him expectantly. If Gan Yiqiu really went to Group Three and Group Six, there would be more opportunities for everyone.
Gan Yiqiu flipped open the jade card and glanced at it, feeling a little disappointed, "Ah, it's four groups, boring."
He pinned the jade token on his body with some boredom. Four sets is four sets. When he reaches Xiaoze Realm, is he still afraid that he won't have a chance to fight those two people
Haha, it will be fun to snatch the Foundation Establishment Pills from them then.
I just hope that the two of them don’t dare to enter Xiaoze Realm for fear of losing the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The female cultivator who had been rejoicing for having drawn group four suddenly looked unhappy.
"It's over. It's better to be assigned to Group 3 or Group 6 than to be in the same group with Senior Brother Gan."
Gan Yiqiu is a complete fighting maniac, the kind that becomes more brutal as the fight goes on.
When he meets female cultivators, he will not show the slightest bit of mercy, and has often turned beautiful female cultivators into pig heads.
This is also the reason why, although Gan Yiqiu is extremely powerful, there are relatively few monks who like and support him.
Really... he is so cruel!
The others all looked at her with sympathy, "When you meet Senior Brother Gan, you should just admit defeat."
Otherwise, you’d get beaten black and blue and couldn’t leave the house for half a month.
The female cultivator nodded with tears in her eyes. She would act according to the circumstances.
When most of the jade tokens had been taken, Xu Chunniang walked forward slowly and casually took a jade token from the table.
"Group 10, number two."
Xu Chunniang pinned the jade token on her chest and walked towards the tenth group. Soon she met the other four opponents.
Among these four people, there are three male cultivators and one female cultivator. There is some distance between them and there is a hint of hostility between them.
Seeing that the person coming was not a well-known master, several people were obviously relieved and the atmosphere actually eased a little.
"I don't recognize this fellow Taoist. Is this your first time participating in this outer sect competition?"
A thin male cultivator looked at Xu Chunniang and said with a smile, "It's rare to be able to enter the top 50 for the first time."
In every year's qualifying rounds, there are always many "dark horses".
Most of these "dark horses" will lose in the first two games of the official competition. Those who can win three games in a row and enter the finals are rare.
"She has a red birthmark on her face. Her name is Xu Chunniang. Haven't you heard of her?"
Another female cultivator present said, "Junior Sister Xu has been winning streaks these days and has made quite a name for herself."
"Oh, it's the Junior Sister Xu who is famous for her water arrow technique and owns the green tripod."
The thin male cultivator suddenly realized, and then said meaningfully, "But now it's the finals. If Junior Sister Xu only has these tricks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win."
