Chapter 173 The Sect Disciple from Outer City

"Sister Shiqian, don't take it to heart. He just wants to anger Sister Qiuqian, and it is not up to them to decide whether they are worthy or not." Yun Yi hurriedly spoke to comfort her, fearing that Li Shiqian would think too much.

Li Shiqian smiled, but it was a forced smile: "I'm fine, because what he said was the truth."

What they said is true.

She thought.

Compared to Qiu Qian and Xiao Yi, she is indeed very bad.

No matter how hard she tried, whether it was practicing, working, or training, she could not compare to Qiu Qian and Xiao Yi who could improve their skills by just practicing casually.

She thought she had gotten used to it and accepted it.

But it wasn't until others mentioned it that I realized that she had accepted it but hadn't gotten used to it.

"Sister Shiqian is already very impressive, you..."

"Xiao Yi, you don't have to comfort me, I know everything." Li Shiqian looked at Xu Qiuqian who was expressionless on the stage, "I know everything..."

Qiu Qian never cared about it and never mentioned it. I guess she was just trying to protect her pitiful self-esteem.

If she had not given up practicing in the previous twenty years, she should be able to build a foundation by now, right?

It’s a pity that there is no if.

But whether in the eyes of others or in the hearts of Qiu Qian and Xiao Yi, she is far inferior to them.

This was a fact she had to admit.

"Poor aptitude and average cultivation?" Xu Qiuqian repeated expressionlessly.

"Isn't it? She should be around 40 or 50 years old. She's only at the 11th level of Qi Refining at 40 or 50. If that's not poor aptitude, what is that?"

"Then you know that she wasted twenty years because of something. If she had been practicing for these twenty years, her current level of cultivation would surely be higher than yours."

Duan Yuang frowned.

He indeed didn't expect that Li Shiqian would waste twenty years, but so what?

"Even without these twenty years, her qualifications are still mediocre."

"Because she doesn't have the resources of a sect like you do."

Hearing this, Duan Yuang's face darkened.

"Do you think that I am able to reach my current level of cultivation because of the sect's resources?"

"Isn't it?"

"Even if there is, it is only a small part. The majority is my talent and hard work!"

Xu Qiuqian sneered.

"Work hard? Who doesn't work hard?" She said coldly, "If she had resources like you at the beginning, she wouldn't be able to build a foundation, let alone a mid-to-late stage of foundation building."

After saying that, she looked down at the stage again.

"And those of you who are clamoring that you are better than her, if you really think you are better than her, then go up and compete with her. Once you beat her, you can say that you are better than her!"

It would be fine if they just boasted that their cultivation was higher than Li Shiqian's, but she just saw several people at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining saying that they were better than Li Shiqian.

That's ridiculous.

Being rebuked by Xu Qiuqian, the other cultivators also rebuked, "She is at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and I am only at the seventh level. How dare you let me compete with her? How dare you!"

"You also feel embarrassed, don't you? I didn't see you being embarrassed when you said you were better than her just now. If you think you are too thick-skinned, you can come to me. I don't mind helping you to shave it off!"

As soon as the words were spoken, other monks could not help but laugh out loud.

"This store manager Xu is really sharp-tongued."

The monk who was scolded knew he was in the wrong and did not scold back.

Then another monk spoke.

"Then if I say I'm better than her, Manager Xu shouldn't have any objections, right? After all, I beat her a few days ago."

Xu Qiuqian looked over.

The twelfth level of Qi Refining.

She smiled slightly: "Yes, a Qi Refining Level 12 beat a Qi Refining Level 11, and you boasted about how great you are after winning. Are you so shameless? If you really think you are great, you can compete with me later. I am also at the Qi Refining Level 12. If you win and you boast about yourself, I will have no problem with that."

“…”

"What about me? I beat her too!"

This one is the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

Xu Qiuqian looked surprised: "Haven't you ever been defeated by someone of the same level?"

“…”

"What about me? Not only did I beat her, I have never been defeated by anyone with the same level of cultivation!" He is still at the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

"Why are you showing off? It's just luck. If you really think you're awesome, I can help you find disciples at the eleventh level of Qi Refining in several major families to compete with you and see if you can keep winning."

“…”

That’s how it was, Xu Qiuqian would confront anyone who spoke.

It made everyone speechless.

At this time, someone whispered, "But you and the other clerk were able to defeat those with higher cultivation levels with lower cultivation levels, but she couldn't. At best, she could only barely beat those with the same cultivation level. She was incompatible with you two. Doesn't this mean that you are not worthy?"

This is a fact.

Xu Qiuqian originally wanted to say that it was not your turn to decide whether they were suitable for each other or not.

But just as she opened her mouth, a voice suddenly rang out: "Since you think I am unworthy, then come on stage and compete with me. If you think you are more suitable than me, also come on stage and compete with me. If I lose, I will give my place to you. If you lose, you will admit that I am qualified to stay in the grocery store. Do you dare or not?!"

It turned out to be what Li Shiqian said.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Yun Yi, who was standing beside him, advised Li Shiqian not to be impulsive.

These people are obviously just there to watch the fun and enjoy the action.

Li Shiqian shook her head.

"I have no impulse and I know what I am doing."

Qiu Qian defended her so much and thought she was very capable from the bottom of her heart. It was only due to various reasons that she ended up like this. How could she let Qiu Qian down?

Even if she has to risk her life today, she has to prove herself! "Any level of cultivation will do?"

"After building the foundation, any level of cultivation is possible."

"Okay! I'll do it then!"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Those who spoke in agreement were basically above the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and many of them had even defeated Li Shiqian before.

Yun Yi looked towards the arena anxiously, hoping that Xu Qiuqian could persuade Li Shiqian.

However, Xu Qiuqian on the ring smiled.

"Come on, Shiqian. I believe you can do it!"

His eyes were full of trust, without a trace of worry.

Li Shiqian smiled back.

She waved her hand and said, "Qiu Qian, just wait for my good news!"

"good!"

Xu Qiuqian watched Li Shiqian walk towards the No. 5 ring, and then turned his gaze back to Duan Yuang.

"Let's just get this over with quickly." She also wanted to cheer Shi Qian up.

As he spoke, he chose Shadow Moon Blade from among the many restricted items.

Because it's closest to her.

She is very anxious.

Duan Yuang sneered when he heard Xu Qiuqian's tone.

Do you really think this is a child's play competition for those below the sixth level of Qi Refining? He also chose his favorite magic weapon.

"Then let's get started!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qiuqian disappeared from his sight in an instant.

He was still looking for Xu Qiuqian's figure, but the other party had already approached him like a ghost.

Duan Yuang's pupils shrank and he stepped back subconsciously.

But Xu Qiuqian didn't give her the chance at all. He acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. The Shadow Moon Blade approached and stopped an inch away from his neck.

During the whole process, Duan Yuang was completely unable to react.

By the time he reacted, he had already lost.

He lost? "You look down on others. I thought they were so powerful. But the sect disciples from the outer city are just like this."
