When Shu Jianyue, Chong Jiu, and Chao Tian arrived, the main hall was already full of people.

There are no other vacancies except for the first place.

Shu Jianyue was unaware of the rules here, but Chao Tian had inquired about them and knew that the rankings were based on position.

Knowing that Shu Jianyue didn't want to be number one, he looked at Qiu Zhengqi and said, "Sect Master Qiu, this position should belong to our sect leader."

Qiu Zhengqi smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare. Palace Master Shu, please take the seat of honor. My cultivation is inferior to yours, so it's more appropriate for me to sit here."

"No, I think this place is just right. Please take the seat of Master Qiu." Shu Jianyue didn't want to be number one in the first place, so she wouldn't sit down.

Seeing that he wasn't joking, Qiu Zhengqi stood up. After thinking for a moment, he decided against it and looked at Shu Jianyue, asking, "But you still have to sit down after the competition, right?"

Shu Jianyue waved her hand and said, "No, Sect Leader Qiu, please take a seat." After saying that, she pulled Zhong Jiu down to sit.

Seeing that Qiu Zhengqi was still standing there without moving, Chaotian gestured for him to proceed.

Not only Qiu Zhengqi, but even the Guiyuan Sect Master and elders standing next to him were quite bewildered.

I've seen people vying for first place, but I've never seen anyone vying for second.

Qiu Zhengqi took the seat of honor, looking back every three steps. Seeing that Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu had no objections, he coughed lightly and said, "Everyone knows what today's competition is. If anyone is dissatisfied with their position, they can bring it up now."

"If it's past noon, you must not mention it again."

Although Gu Linzong withdrew from the competition and Gu Tianzhen was too ashamed to come, Yang Chaoyue did. Upon seeing Shu Jianyue sitting in the second seat, she immediately exclaimed, "Why can someone from the Supreme Divine Palace sit in the second seat?"

Many people present looked at him in surprise, thinking in unison, "Is this guy stupid or has he never seen someone suppress a Tribulation Transcending stage expert so much that he can't even move?"

In that one moment, who would dare to challenge someone who wasn't at least at the fifth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm?

Qiu Zhengqi looked coldly at Yang Chaoyue and said, "Your Gu Lin Sect is no longer qualified to speak here. If you still want to watch, then please shut your mouth, otherwise please leave."

Yang Chaoyue sneered and said, "I'm just standing up for them. Who knows what benefits you received from them? What kind of foundation and strength can a newly established sect have? How could you let them sit in second place?"

Qiu Zhengqi gave him a cold glance and signaled the guards to drag him out.

Yang Chaoyue shouted, "You're feeling guilty, aren't you? You're feeling guilty!"

Qiu Zhengqi looked at the crowd in the hall and said, "Today is a grand competition, so anyone who has an opinion can naturally raise it. Where we sit is not up to me, the sect leader."

"Don't keep quiet now, or you'll be gossiping about it behind my back later."

Shu Jianyue watched with her chin propped up as if she were watching a play, as if the person talking about her wasn't the one in question.

During the previous disciple competition, everyone knew that the disciples of the Supreme Divine Palace were all outstanding individuals.

However, there were also those who did not participate in the final disciple competition and had not witnessed Shu Jianyue's abilities, so they naturally felt that Yang Chaoyue was right.

Then someone stood up and said, "I am the sect leader of Cangshan Sect, with a cultivation level of the eighth stage of the Mahayana realm. May I ask what the cultivation level of the Palace Master of the Supreme Divine Palace is?"

Shu Jianyue looked at him lazily and said, "Shu Jianyue, second stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

"Hiss... She's at the second stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm?"

"You're only finding out now? They revealed their cultivation level yesterday and suppressed a powerful cultivator at the first stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm so much that he couldn't move."

"However, can someone at the second stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm suppress someone at the first stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm so completely?"

"Wow... So amazing, and so young! How did they do that?" The people around them started discussing among themselves.

The sect leader of Cangshan Sect also gasped, asking incredulously, "Are you really at the second stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm?"

Shu Jianyue nodded, revealing her true cultivation level. "Okay, if you don't believe me, you can ask Master Qiu, or we can have a fight."

There were many people in this hall with higher cultivation levels than her, so they naturally noticed her cultivation level.

At this moment, everyone saw her cultivation level, and some people began to overlook her ability to completely suppress her opponent, who couldn't even launch a combo, despite being one level higher.

I remember, I sat there quietly and watched the play.

If you don't remember, you start thinking about changing seats.

An old man stroked his beard, nodded, and smiled, "Truly, the student has surpassed the teacher. To have reached the second stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm at such a young age is truly remarkable."

Fu Zhen and Fu Chen, sitting behind Fu Jie, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.

If the Supreme Temple wins first place, then Fu Zhen, after marrying into it, will also enjoy the resources of the top-ranked family. Surely some of those resources will flow to him, her father.

Fu Chen felt his blood boiling just thinking about it.

Seeing that Yu Chuan hadn't come, Fu Zhen gave Fu Chen a wink, then got up and left the main hall.

Seeing this, Fu Jie looked at Fu Chen and asked, "Where is she going?"

Fu Chen smiled and said, "She doesn't like watching this, so she'll go for a walk."

"Don't worry, Second Brother. I've warned her about everything you said. She won't cause any more trouble."

"That would be best." But Fu Jie still felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

At this moment, an old man with white hair stood up and said with a smile, "Palace Master Shu, I'm sorry, but I am only at the third level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, which is one level higher than yours."

"I am Liu Yao, the Supreme Elder of the Bronze Sect."

Shu Jianyue sized him up and shook her head, saying, "Old sir, you are no match for me. Although I am only at the second stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, I can fight beyond my level. Would you like to give it a try?"
