Three days passed quickly. Through these three days of intensive competition, the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples from each sect finally decided on the candidates for the main competition.
Although the Yuqing Sect has been developing rapidly in recent years, it has only been rising for a few years after all, and it is not enough to achieve a qualitative change in the training of disciples. It can be said that, except for a few talented disciples who have joined in the past two years, most of the current Foundation Establishment Realm disciples have actually started in the past few years.
A better cultivation environment and better cultivation benefits can indeed allow a person to improve his realm faster when his qualifications do not become a bottleneck.
From a sect perspective, it is of course a good thing that the disciples' realm is improving quickly. From an individual disciple's point of view, it is definitely not a bad thing to improve one's realm quickly. However, the rapid improvement of realm does not mean that it will have a big advantage in this competition at the Tao Discussion Conference.
It took you two years to reach the Perfect Foundation Establishment Realm, and it took him ten years to reach the Perfect Foundation Establishment Realm. But after you stand in the ring, both of you have reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment Realm. Who can have an advantage over the other? You have better resources and a better environment, and can become a golden elixir master faster than him, but after you become a golden elixir master, you are just a different opponent in the golden elixir realm.
In terms of pure competition in the arena, there are opponents in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and there are opponents in the Golden Core Realm. No matter how fast your realm improves, there will be corresponding opponents. Therefore, compared with other sects, Yuqing Sect actually does not have much advantage, especially compared with those old first-rate and second-rate sects.
Therefore, in this competition between Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, Yuqing Sect did not reach the level of crushing the entire audience. On the Jade Qing Sect side, Zheng Yu was not the only disciple who was eliminated. In the end, only about twenty people entered the main competition.
Although, from the Jade Qing Sect's side, it seems quite miserable and humiliating for most of the disciples to be eliminated at this time. However, looking at the situation of other sects, the ratio of Yuqing Sect is actually very impressive. Among the other sects, Taiyi Sect is worthy of being an established first-rate sect. The number of disciples entering the main competition is second only to the Yuqing Sect. For the other second-rate sects, eight or nine people can enter the main competition, which is already great.
Of course, for Yuqingzong to achieve such results, we still have to say that Ye Zan played a role. Not to mention what Ye Zan taught those disciples, the magical medical room alone disintegrated the suppression plans of Taiyi Sect and other sects. Facing the Yuqing Sect, which could quickly cure almost all external injuries, each sect did not dare to make a fuss about "accidents" or "misses", and could only compete in a disciplined manner.
In addition, the ten inner disciples that Ye Zan brought this time did not create any miracles. In the end, only three of them successfully entered the main competition. These three people are Yu Leyang, Zhou Mingzhen and Chen Heiniu. In fact, the most surprising performance is Zhou Mingzhen, a female cultivator.
In fact, among the ten inner disciples, Zhou Mingzhen's performance in all aspects is not very outstanding. It can be said that she has no sense of existence. However, no one expected that after arriving in the ring, Zhou Mingzhen would use the unique delicacy of women to apply the things Ye Zan taught to the extreme. It was as if there was an invisible lever between her and her opponent, which could always allow her to use her modest strength to leverage opponents far beyond her own strength.
However, among these three people, if we talk about the most famous one, it has to be Leyang. Yu Leyang is not only the most famous among the ten inner sect disciples, he can also be said to be the most famous among all the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples of the Yuqing Sect, and can even be said to be the most famous among the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples in the entire Dao Discussion Conference. .
However, Yu Leyang does not have a good reputation, but is called the most unworthy finalist in this conference.
In people's eyes, all of Yu Leyang's battles in the ring were won by relying on the "magic weapon" in their eyes. Although, the rules of the Dao Discussion Conference do not restrict the use of magic weapons. However, in the eyes of some people, they are still accustomed to treating the power of magic weapons as so-called "external forces" and cannot represent a person's true strength.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, all of Yu Leyang's victories in the ring are because he possesses those strange magical weapons. In their opinion, if it were them, as long as they had Yu Leyang's magic weapons, they would be able to break into the main competition in the end.
As a result, Yu Leyang became the most unworthy finalist in their hearts.
Just like people always like to study and decipher the magic at the party, because Yu Leyang "sneaked" into the main competition with his sharp magical weapons, many people "shared the same hatred" and began to think about ways to decipher his magical weapons. On the Internet, someone specifically set up a discussion topic for this purpose, specifically to study how to deal with Leyang's magic weapon, and soon attracted a large number of people to join the discussion.
And the people participating in the discussion were not just people from these sects at the Tao Discussion Conference. It can be said that the origins of the people participating in the discussion were almost all over the Shenhua Domain. Of course, some people are really dissatisfied, either out of envy, jealousy, or for ideals and justice, but more people may just be just joining in the fun.
However, as the saying goes, "Three stooges are as good as Zhuge Liang." With so many people discussing together, they really came up with a lot of solutions.
"Well, this method looks good. If I only have these two seconds, I really might lose to the opponent." Yu Leyang held Qianli Zhenshen and swiped the screen with his fingers while muttering happily.
In fact, Yu Leyang himself did not expect that he would eventually break into the main competition. Since his qualifications were not favored, he had always had a low self-esteem. Until he learned about firearms from Ye Zan, he didn't feel that he could really become much more powerful.
People with low self-esteem will have such a mentality that no matter how well they do something, they will feel that someone else could do it easily. Therefore, although Yu Leyang made sufficient preparations before coming to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference, he never thought about how far he could go.
After these three days of fighting and defeating opponents one after another, Yu Leyang fully understood what level of power he had reached. However, he did not jump from inferiority to pride because of temporary success like some people did, but he still maintained a sense of self-awareness.
Therefore, after learning that there was such a discussion area for him in the online forum, Yu Leyang immediately lurked in it. Those who know themselves best are often their enemies. By lurking in this discussion forum, Yu Leyang has indeed seen a lot of problems that he has not noticed at ordinary times and may be exploited by his opponents.
Seeing Yu Leyang like this, Ye Zan felt a lot more relieved and turned his attention to Chen Heiniu and Zhou Mingzhen.
For Ye Zan, although the inner disciples he brought were not strictly his disciples, it was still a joy to have someone break into the main competition. Therefore, when everyone else was giving guidance to their own disciples before the main competition, Ye Zan did not forget the disciples he had brought with him.
In the Tao Discussion Conference, after the three-day "audition" at the Foundation Establishment Realm, there will be half a day for the disciples to rest. After all, after fighting for three days and three nights, even the first person to qualify for the main competition needs time to rest and adjust. Some people who are unlucky or less powerful may not qualify until the last moment. It is obviously unfair to participate in the main competition immediately.
However, in order to allow their disciples to perform more brilliantly at the Tao Discussion Conference, most people still take this opportunity to provide surprise guidance to their disciples. Moreover, due to the subsequent sparring competition, the number of participants has been greatly reduced, so it is more convenient for them to arrange some "routines" for their disciples.
Ye Zan is also coaching Chen Heiniu and Zhou Mingzhen, but the method he uses is different from others. The place where Ye Zan guided these two disciples was not in the pavilion on the other side of the square, but back on the spaceship. In a different-dimensional space on the spaceship, Chen Heiniu and Zhou Mingzhen each lay down in the game cabin, connected to the Virtual God Realm through the game cabin, allowing their physical bodies to fully rest and adjust while accepting Ye Zan's guidance.
In the Virtual God Realm, Ye Zan simulated all the opponents entering the main match for Chen Heiniu and Zhou Mingzhen. The data used by these simulated characters were collected by Ye Zan in the past three days, and also collected by logging into the Virtual God Realm through them before. It can be said that they are quite consistent with the real strength of the opponents.
Half a day was certainly not enough time for two people to challenge all the virtual opponents, so Ye Zan just virtualized the situations of these opponents and then explained to them some things they needed to pay attention to.
To be honest, Ye Zan's guidance method is many times more advanced than others. No matter how much saliva you spend on an opponent's situation, you can't explain it clearly with your words, let alone let the disciples feel it clearly. The simulation in the Virtual God Realm was enough to give Chen Heiniu and Zhou Mingzhen the most intuitive and clear understanding of their opponents. In addition, the memory-enhancing effect of the game warehouse is almost equivalent to engraving the content of Ye Zan's guidance deeply into their minds, so there is no need to worry about suddenly forgetting it.
Ye Zan did not share this kind of guidance with other people in the Yuqing Sect, not because he was reluctant or distrustful, nor because he was afraid that their disciples would pose any threat to his own disciples. In half a day, no matter how advanced the method is, the effect it can have is, to be honest, quite limited, at least not worth the effort.
Ye Zan gave guidance to Chen Heiniu and Zhou Mingzhen just to fulfill his responsibility as a "teacher leading the team", or it could be said that it was out of personal interest. If other people in the Yuqing Sect don't have such a method, it doesn't mean they can't go on. They should do whatever they want, and it won't allow the Yuqing Sect to increase their strength all at once.
To put it less seriously, for Ye Zan, it is like playing a game now, and the outcome of this game is not that important. It's just a game. You can just use a cheat by yourself. There is no need to bring the whole sect with you.
Half a day later, Ye Zan took Chen Heiniu and Zhou Mingzhen out of the Virtual God Realm, left the spaceship, and returned to the square where the discussions were held.
Next, is the so-called "race".
Since it is the main competition, it is natural that everyone cannot challenge their opponents at will like the auditions. Instead, everyone must be assigned their own opponents by drawing lots. Anyway, there are not many people entering the main competition. With these arenas in the square, everyone can compete in two or three waves at most. After everyone has finished competing, the winner will enter the next round of competition, round after round until the final winner is determined.
When it comes to drawing lots, it seems that this thing depends entirely on luck, but whether it is in this world or the world of technology, whether it is using the original "drawing lots to touch the ball" or computer randomization, there is actually a lot that can be done. For example, in the world of technology, the most famous lottery is the lottery for various football cups. Someone revealed that the organizing committee controls the grouping of teams by heating small balls. But in this world, it is more convenient to use hands and feet. To put it bluntly, drawing lots is just a show, and the final results are actually arranged in advance.
As the host, Taiyi Sect was naturally responsible for the drawing of lots, and since Taiyi Sect had the intention of suppressing the Yuqing Sect, everyone already knew how to arrange the lotting. It's nothing more than arranging some obviously stronger opponents for the disciples of the Yuqing Sect. If they can't be arranged, just group the people of the Yuqing Sect together.
It is not difficult to arrange opponents for the disciples of Yuqing Sect. After all, these Yuqing disciples have already demonstrated their respective strengths in three days. For those Yuanying ancestors and even Yuanshen powerful people, it can be easily seen from their performance what kind of opponents they have a higher defeat rate against.
"How come I'm grouped with Senior Brother Feng!" Yu Leyang exclaimed in surprise after seeing the grouping results.
On the Jade Qing Sect side, the number of people entering the main competition does not account for a high proportion of the total number of people, so the probability of their own people being grouped together is theoretically quite low. However, in this grouping, in addition to Yu Leyang, there were several strong Yuqing disciples, all of whom were grouped together with their own people.
Seeing such a result, anyone with a brain can know that Taiyi Sect must have done something wrong. However, you know what you know, unless there is really any concrete evidence, there is no way to accuse Taiyi Sect.
Speaking of evidence, Ye Zan actually has evidence here. He had long known the entire process of arranging groupings at Taiyi Sect through electronic fly monitoring, but this evidence could not be produced. In other words, the consequences that this matter can bring are not worth the cost of exposing Ye Zan's monitoring capabilities.
