Chapter 64
The Frost Competition came to an end. Su Xuanzong retained the Frost Order and became the winner of this competition.
The lion-head car roared past over everyone's heads, and the car body soon disappeared, but the lion's roar could still be heard from afar, making people's heads buzz.
Xun Jinzhi stood in front of his fellow disciples and smiled silently. "Our victory this time was a fluke. Let's go back."
The one fighting with Xun Jinzhi was the clone of the young city lord. The two were evenly matched. Xun Jinzhi could not beat Chu Jinhuai, and Chu Jinhuai could not stop Xun Jinzhi.
But that was just a clone of Chu Jinhuai.
Ji Tang flew behind Xun Jinzhi, "Senior Sister, where is the Young City Lord's real body?"
Xun Jinzhi raised his chin at the magnificent city in the sky in front of him.
Ji Tang secretly clicked his tongue.
Although Xueguishuanghan Ridge is the territory of Dengtian City, the two are almost two hundred miles apart. Even at such a long distance, the young city lord can still control his clones to do so many things, which shows his extraordinary strength.
It was only when Ji Tang got close to the Young City Lord that he could tell that it was a clone. He recalled that he had talked with him for a long time before, but he didn't even notice the clone. Thinking of this, it was no wonder that the Young City Lord said, "I will not form an alliance with the weak."
The winner of the Frost Competition will obtain a pass to the secret realm of the Wind and Thunder Swamp. The opportunity there is the reason why everyone is fighting for the Frost Order this time.
Elder Qin was extremely satisfied with his disciples' performance. After resting in Dengtian City for two days, he led the team back to Suxuan Sect.
Jitang returned to his master's sect, paid his respects to his master first, and then began to prepare for seclusion.
There are three types of seclusion: major and minor seclusion, seclusion for overcoming tribulations, and seclusion for life and death.
Ji Tang is in a major retreat this time. Once the cave is sealed, it will take at least a hundred years for him to come out.
Not long after they returned, they happened to catch up with the ranking of sect disciples.
The sect is ranked once every ten years, and all disciples who are not about to go into seclusion or are currently in seclusion must participate.
Jitang's retreat bamboo slips had been delivered from Ganri Peak before the ranking. She only needed to prepare for retreat and did not need to participate in this ranking competition.
She didn't need to, but Su Jinzhou had to participate.
Ji Tang didn’t know when he would be able to come out of his retreat, so he planned to start after watching his senior brother’s ranking match.
With nothing to do in the few days before the ranking tournament, she became Su Jinzhou's sparring partner.
In daily battles, I lose more than I win.
There was a difference of two small levels between her and Su Jinzhou. If it weren't for the Nightmare Clan's supreme internal skills, the Nightmare Yuanyan Shangjue and the Nightmare Chengshu, she would have no chance to fight back.
On the day of the sect ranking competition, Ji Tang stopped practicing early and ran to find Su Jinzhou. However, he learned from Gu Yan that his senior brother was in the master's cave, so he quickly changed direction. Just as he reached the cave, he heard the master say from inside, "Why are you running? You're so anxious."
Jitang stopped running and walked into the cave, where he saw the master and disciple drinking tea.
Ji Tang: "Master, my senior brother is participating in the ranking competition today. Are you going to watch?"
Master Wu Shu patted the round stool beside him and asked Ji Tang to sit down. "Does this little competition really require your presence?"
"He is your dear disciple!"
Master Wushu smiled and said, "Why don't you just go? He is still your dear senior brother."
Ji Tang first refilled her master's tea, then poured herself a cup. "I must go, this disciple, to cheer for my senior brother." She winked at Su Jinzhou, "Will my senior brother come back with first place?"
Su Jinzhou laughed, "I don't have any objection, but I don't know if the senior brothers and sisters above are willing."
Jitang then smiled.
No matter how talented Su Jinzhou is or how fast he practices, he can never catch up with his senior brothers and sisters who have been practicing for hundreds of years.
They headed from Ganri Peak to the ranking tournament location.
The ranking competition is for inner disciples, and the location is also set on the Xuanhe Peak of the inner sect. The inner disciples' ranking competition or major events are held on this peak.
Ji Tang and Su Jin Zhou separated after arriving at Xuan He Peak. Su Jin Zhou went to the backstage to sign in for the ranking tournament, while Ji Tang went to the stands.
The competition venue is spacious, occupying two-thirds of the area of Xuanhe Peak, and the stands surround the venue.
When Jitang arrived, there were only a few people sitting sparsely in the stands - not because there were few people watching the ranking tournament, but because the venue was simply too large.
Competitions from all the sects and palaces of Chenwuzhou were once held here, and the stands were always packed.
The ranking matches in the previous rounds were carried out at the same time. The sect divided the huge competition field into dozens of small fields and arranged for the disciples to fight in pairs.
Ji Tang found a place close to Su Jinzhou and sat down. He discovered that there were obviously fewer empty seats here than in other places. Whispers came from all directions, merging together into a noisy sound.
When she sat down, five or six female cultivators came and sat behind Jitang.
"I'm talking about him!"
"Which one?"
"I saw it! That junior fellow disciple is indeed outstanding. Just standing among his fellow disciples, he is very eye-catching."
"Not only is his cultivation level outstanding among his peers, many of our peers can't even compare to him!"
"You asked me to come and see him to see his cultivation?"
"Of course it's his looks!"
There was a burst of laughter from behind.
Ji Tang turned back curiously, "Senior sisters, which fellow disciple are you talking about?"
One of them smiled and pointed to her, "That's it!"
Ji Tang looked in that direction and saw his senior brother.
Someone in the back asked, "What's his name?"
The senior sister who pointed out the person to Jitang replied, "Sujinzhou."
Jitang suddenly laughed.
The senior sister was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
Ji Tang praised: "Senior Sister, you have good taste. He is indeed outstanding."
Another senior sister exclaimed, "He's so handsome! If I were in the same class as him, I would definitely seek him out to practice with me every day."
Another burst of laughter broke out among the senior sisters.
Ji Tang couldn't help laughing, "Seniors, take a look at his figure, he has a good figure too."
The senior sister blushed a little when she heard this and whispered to her, "I saw it, but I was too embarrassed to say it."
While we were having fun here, the ranking competition had already begun.
Su Jinzhou's opponent was a disciple of Huai Songfeng from the same period. After only ten moves, Su Jinzhou won the match.
After saluting his opponent, he turned around and looked at the stands.
The senior sister behind him whispered, "He's looking here!"
Another person continued, "Oh my god, the front view is even more impactful. Her face is like a crown of jade, and she is extremely beautiful!"
"Who is he looking at?"
Jitang smiled and winked at the senior sisters, "Look at me." After that, he stood up and ran down the stands, waving vigorously from behind the railing on the second floor, "Senior Brother!"
Su Jinzhou came down and smiled at her, "How is it?"
Ji Tang gave a thumbs up, "Great!" She turned sideways and said to Su Jinzhou, "These are the senior sisters who came to watch the competition."
She whispered, "I'm here to see you."
The senior sisters didn't expect Ji Tang to suddenly talk about them. They blushed for a moment, but then forced themselves to remain calm and nodded to Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou bowed to them and asked in a low voice, "Look at me?"
Jitang nodded and moved closer to the railing, "You're welcome."
Su Jinzhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After a brief chat, Su Jinzhou had to continue to participate in the ranking competition. Ji Tang sat back in his seat and was suddenly surrounded by his senior sisters behind him.
"Do you know Su Jinzhou?"
"I heard you call him Senior Brother?"
"I seem to have heard that Su Jinzhou has a junior sister who is also a disciple of Master Wu Shu."
Ji Tang patted his chest and said, "That's me, Senior Sister."
The eyes of the senior sisters all lit up, "Can we go to Ganri Peak to spar with you in the future?"
The competition is fake, judging the person is real. Ji Tang hurriedly bowed, "I am no match for the senior sisters. If the senior sisters come, I will arrange for good tea and wine to entertain them. Let's not compete, okay?"
The senior sisters glared at her coquettishly.
A bold senior sister said: "Why drink wine? I'm drunk just by looking at people."
This immediately caused another burst of laughter.
Jitang spent the morning's competition in laughter and joy, and Su Jinzhou successfully entered the top 50.
The top ten will be decided in the afternoon competition, and tomorrow will be the competition for the top ten.
Her senior sisters made an appointment with her to continue watching the game in the afternoon. She went down the stairs outside the stands and soon saw Su Jinzhou walking towards her.
Although Su Jinzhou had competed for a whole morning, his moon-white robe was not stained with a speck of dust. It was obvious that he had handled the morning's competition with ease and had not displayed his true strength at all.
As he walked along, many female practitioners from the same sect looked at him, either openly or secretly.
Ji Tang waited until he came to her side before saying, "Being able to be so close to my senior brother, I won't become the public enemy of my fellow disciples, right?" She was so scared that she hugged herself tightly.
Su Jinzhou's smile remained unchanged. "How about fighting again?"
"ah?"
Su Jinzhou summoned a flying sword, stepped on it, and pulled Ji Tang behind him.
Ji Tang stood firm, huddled behind Su Jinzhou and muttered, "It's over, it's over, Senior Brother, you've ruined me!"
Su Jinzhou's low laugh answered her. "Hold on tight."
Ji Tang pulled the clothes on the side of Zhuji Zhou's waist and said, "I didn't expect that I would become famous in this way." She looked around cautiously, and there was curiosity in the eyes, as well as frowns and scrutiny.
Jitang shuddered and felt a chill down his spine.
Ji Tang: "I won't even dare to come watch your game this afternoon!"
Su Jinzhou's speed of flying his sword slowed down slightly, "Not coming?"
Ji Tang didn't notice his lowered voice, he just looked around and replied casually, "I don't dare to come, not that I won't come."
She realized it later and sensed Su Jinzhou's low mood. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, are you a child? Are you unhappy if I don't come to watch your competition?"
Su Jinzhou didn't look back, his tone was a little dry, "I just don't think it's interesting."
Ji Tang said hurriedly: "I'm coming. I have made an appointment with my senior sisters to come and see you in the afternoon. The senior sisters all praised you for your good looks, and I also praised your good figure to them."
The flying sword swayed in the air, and Ji Tang held on to Su Jinzhou even tighter, "Brother, there's a huge abyss between the Spiritual Peaks. We can't sway!"
Su Jinzhou coughed lightly, increased his speed, and quickly led his men back to Ganri Peak.
They took a short rest in the cave, and then went to Xuanhe Peak in the afternoon to participate in the ranking competition.
Jitang came to the old position and saw that the senior sisters had already arrived.
The senior sisters happily asked her to sit next to them, and a row of seven female practitioners looked into the competition arena.
"Jitang, your senior brother seems to have a good personality. How old is he?"
Jitang waved towards Su Jinzhou and replied, "One hundred and eighteen years old."
She didn't hear the movements of her senior sisters, and her eyes moved from the competition field to her senior sisters, and she saw that they were all a little stiff.
Ji Tang was puzzled: "Senior Sister? What happened to you?"
The sister closest to her was in tears, "One hundred and eighteen, and she's still just a kid!"
Jitang: “…”
The senior sisters all said with regret: "It's too small!"
“It’s really too small.”
"It's just for the eyes."
The senior sister who was close to Jitang said, "You guys should be more restrained, my junior sister is here."
The senior sisters sighed repeatedly.
Ji Tang suppressed his smile and looked towards the competition field. Su Jinzhou and his opponent had already entered the field.
She put her hands to her mouth and shouted: "Brother, come on!!!"
Su Jinzhou's competition venue was some distance away from her, but she still heard it.
He looked sideways, his eyes filled with smiles, his moon-white robe was blown by the wind, and his long black hair and the jade belt in his hair were also lifted up. A smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face, and he waved to Ji Tang.
The senior sisters were amazed.
"As bright as a jade tree before the wind..."
"You are truly unrivaled in the world."
Then there was another sigh.
"It's still a doll."
