After the rules were announced, Qiao Wuqian waved his hand and distributed number plates to all participating disciples.
"What you hold in your hands are your numbers for this competition. Number one will compete against the last number, and so on. Three competition stages will open simultaneously. The number of disciples is 1,689. The competition begins!"
At the competition venue, the large formation faded away, and three medium-sized arenas rose from the empty space.
"The winners of the competition are waiting outside the arena for the second round. It begins now!"
The Qi Refining Stage is different from the Foundation Establishment Stage. Magical instruments cannot be used to enter the field, but they all jump into the formation.
"I'm number one, who's the last one?"
"I!"
A man strode onto the field quickly. He was a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, wearing a disciple robe with the emblem of a hundred beasts.
Afterwards, two disciples stood in each of the other four venues, and they began fighting after the Beast Taming Sect's Great Elder said to start.
"Boss, the Beast Taming Sect didn't use their contracted beasts to fight this time, but they lost their advantage. However, low-level monsters are not very useful either. I don't know how many people can make it to the end."
"Maybe there's a trump card. When will the deal you're talking about be?"
"After the game, this is the news I heard yesterday. It's said that it's for the sake of order and the safety of the disciples of each sect."
"Oh, I see."
Outside the Beast Taming Sect's field, a male disciple scanned the field and frowned as he looked in the direction of the Free and Easy Sect.
"Is there a girl named Yun Dandan among the disciples participating in this competition?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Qin, are you looking for her?"
"Well, I need to find her. Do you know which one it is?"
The female disciple next to him thought about it and realized that eight out of ten female disciples had their faces covered. Since the senior brother didn't notice it, it must be one of the ones with their faces covered. It would be impossible to tell who was who if only their eyes were exposed.
"I don't know, but it should be one of the people with the mask. I can only ask someone tonight."
"No need. She will be the weakest one in the fight sooner or later. After all, even though her spiritual roots have been healed a little, she is still useless and her cultivation level is not that high."
"That's right, brother, but what are you going to do?"
"This time, it's my Beast Taming Sect that's hosting the competition, so we can't go too far. Let her spiritual power disappear for a few days. I'm sure it will be very interesting."
"I'll help my senior brother with this matter. They're all women, so it's easier to get close to them."
"Thank you very much, Junior Sister Yuan. I will be waiting for your good news in the cave tonight."
"Okay, don't worry, brother."
"Well, this pill is called the Soul-Devouring Pill. It becomes colorless and odorless when put into water. It's very convenient..."
In the stands outside the stadium, someone had no idea that someone was trying to harm him. He stared at the rings for a while and then prepared to meditate and sleep.
"Fatty, this is my number. Call me when it's your turn. I'm going to rest for a while."
"Okay, boss, take a rest."
Yun Dandan collected the license plate, closed her eyes and entered into a state of meditation. Soon, she became a little groggy and her consciousness was suddenly pulled to an unfamiliar place.
"Fifth level of foundation building, the improvement is not bad, but you are still a little slack. The eighth level is the level you should be at now."
"Who? It's none of your business what level I cultivate to, right?"
The man paused and chuckled, "Haha, I was anxious. Do you know how to form an elixir?"
"I don't know, do you want to teach me?"
"Um."
"Then could you please teach me how to form two golden cores? That way my chances of survival would be a little higher. How great!"
“…”
"Why don't you say anything? Don't you know? Forget it, you don't even dare to show your face. Even if you tell me, I won't dare to use your method. If something goes wrong, I will lose everything."
"No, I just felt surprised. There is a way to form two golden cores, but the process is not pleasant, and you need a very strong physique to support it, otherwise you will burst."
In the darkness, a ray of light came on and hit the figure in the distance. He had a broad back and a narrow waist, and his black hair showed that his hair was of good quality.
"Your hair is so beautiful, it would be a shame not to braid it, haha."
"..., do you want to listen?"
"Ah? Listen, listen, tell me."
Yun Dandan sat cross-legged on the spot, waiting for him to speak, but a faint golden light entered her forehead.
"This is the method. You can study it carefully, but I don't recommend you use it because it takes two to three times longer than your normal Dan-forming time. It would be very long without the time formation."
"Oh, that's fine. I'm just bored anyway, so I'll just do some research. If it doesn't work, I'll just discard it."
"As long as you are happy, go back."
Yun Dandan was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she felt like she was dreaming, but after feeling something within her consciousness, she realized that it was real.
Outside, Lin Dazhu patted her shoulder and said, "Boss, it's your turn soon."
"Oh, okay."
As far as the eye could see, a disciple just came out of the field. Just as Yun Dandan was about to fly, she was pulled back by the big pillar next to her.
"Boss, you can only enter the formation if you have the token, otherwise you can't enter."
Being interrupted like this, she remembered that this was a competition among disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, and she quickly stopped circulating her spiritual power.
"Oh, I was confused in my sleep, haha."
He took out the token and walked quickly into the venue, where a disciple had just come up.
"I am Aoki Zong Zhang Qing."
"Xiaoyao Sect's Yun Dandan."
Zhang Qing looked up in surprise. Was this the female disciple from Ziyun Peak whose spiritual roots had been damaged but had somehow recovered? She had quite a nice demeanor.
"The competition begins!"
'whoosh'
The two figures separated, each holding a long sword in their hands, but Zhang Qing used his skills to release sword moves, while she only infused spiritual power into the sword, seemingly waiting for the other party to come over.
Lin Dazhu, who was outside the field, was anxious as he looked at the motionless boss, but since he could not hear anything inside or outside the formation, he could only watch with a frown.
"If you don't want to fight, just admit defeat and I can stop."
"No, you lose."
Suddenly, multiple Yun Dandan appeared in the venue. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a clone technique. Then you looked again and saw that she was already behind Zhang Qing, with the tip of her sword against his back.
"What! How come you are so fast?"
"Do you admit defeat? Or do you want me to beat you down?"
Feeling the slight pain on his back, Zhang Qing chose to admit defeat without hesitation. If he had not admitted defeat, he would probably have been stabbed to death on the battlefield.
"Thank you for showing mercy. I didn't expect you to be so talented. If..., I wish you good luck, young lady."
"Thank you very much."
After he left, Yun Dandan left the venue and returned to her seat. Someone next to her was still staring at her blankly, still in a daze.
"Boss, you won?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"That's incredible! You, at the third level of Qi Refining Stage, actually defeated a fifth-level Qi Refining Stage opponent, leaping two levels! And how come you were so fast? I only realized at the very end that you were leaving an afterimage. That's incredible!"
"The only martial art in the world that cannot be defeated is speed. If you practice it to the extreme, it will be a miracle."
