Three days later.
The knockout round of the top 32 of the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament opened as scheduled.
On Wuhou Island.
There are still many people coming to Wuhou Island.
Apart from those forces that were excluded from the 100 sects rankings this time, the remaining forces remaining on the list will need to wait until the end of the main competition to continue competing for the remaining rankings.
However, by that time, not many people would continue to pay attention to the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament.
Among these forces, the one that made the most progress was the Spirit Sword Sect.
Thanks to Lu Lan, the "super dark horse", the Lingjian Sect successfully entered the top 32 in their lifetime!
This was something Li Xiao didn't even dare to dream of.
During these three days, while staying at the inn, he would go out for a walk when he had nothing to do.
And then, just to listen to what others would say when they met him——
"Congratulations, Sect Master Li! The Spirit Sword Sect has finally made it to the top 32. I'm sure they have a promising future!"
"Master Li is so lucky to have found a talented person like Lu Lan!"
"How did Sect Leader Li train Lu Lan? Can you tell me? Don't worry, you can choose any girl from Manxianglou tonight!"
Every time he heard these flattering words, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth almost stretched to the sky.
However, he knew very well in his heart that Lu Lan was only borrowing their Lingjian Sect's quota temporarily and would eventually have to leave the Lingjian Sect in the future.
By then, once the truth is revealed, even if their Lingjian Sect appears in the top 32 of the rankings, it will not be recognized by everyone, and it is unlikely that many people will be willing to come to their Lingjian Sect for further study.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao glanced at Lu Lan beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Mr. Lu, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it..."
Lu Lan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Master Li, please say whatever you want. As long as it is within my ability, I can do it."
Li Xiao gave him a place in the competition. Since the other party had a request, of course he couldn't refuse to help.
Hearing this, Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's like this... Our Spirit Sword Sect luckily secured a spot in the top 32 thanks to Young Master Lu. We might even be able to get a higher ranking in the future."
"By then, perhaps there will be countless people in the entire Dawu Kingdom who will come to our Lingjian Sect because of Master Lu."
"Of course, I know that Master Lu won't truly stay in our Spirit Sword Sect... I just hope that Master Lu can still claim to be a disciple of our Spirit Sword Sect..."
Having said this, as if fearing that Lu Lan would be angry, Li Xiao hurriedly said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Our Spirit Sword Sect won't take advantage of you for nothing. When the time comes, you can come to our Spirit Sword Sect's medicine storage. If you have any medicinal material needs, you can tell me."
"As for sword-making, you can leave it to our Spirit Sword Sect. We will not charge a penny!"
Hearing this, Lu Lan raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then figured out why Li Xiao did this.
He smiled and said:
"Master Li, you are too polite. I will not tell anyone about our original deal. I am still a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect."
"Also, after the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament is over, if I can gain His Highness's appreciation, perhaps I can ask His Highness to ask the Dawu Imperial Family to help the Spirit Sword Sect a little."
Having said this, Lu Lan said no more.
However, Li Xiao could clearly hear that Lu Lan... had already established contact with the eldest prince!
And if they could get help from the Dawu royal family, it would not be difficult for their Lingjian Sect to become a truly first-class sect!
Li Xiao suddenly became excited and thanked him quickly:
"Thank you, Master Lu! Thank you, Master Lu!"
"Mr. Lu's great kindness and generosity will never be forgotten!"
"Alright, alright, don't get so excited. As the sect leader, you bowed and thanked me, a disciple. I don't know what others would think if they saw you."
Lu Lan smiled.
After hearing this, Li Xiao gradually calmed down, but an excited smile still appeared on his face.
At this time, Yuan Lang had already appeared on the main battle stage.
"Everyone, the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament has now reached the elimination round of the top 32."
"I don't need to explain the format of the 32-team elimination round, I'm sure everyone knows it."
"Now, please invite all the profound practitioners who have entered the top 32 elimination rounds to come on stage and draw lots to select their first-round opponents!"
As soon as the words fell.
Then thirty-two figures leaped up from all directions of the viewing platform and landed on the main battle platform.
As soon as Lu Lan landed, he could instantly feel several pairs of eyes on him.
Except for Chu Tiantian, the other gazes were not very friendly.
There is no need to say much about the Evil Flame Sect, and most of the other attention comes from the Xuanyang Pavilion.
But their eyes didn't look particularly angry, just alert.
I think Huo Wuxuan has already communicated with Xuanyang Pavilion privately, asking them not to be too angry with Lu Lan.
However, the last person gave him a hostile look, which made him feel a little strange.
He took a look, and the other party immediately looked away after noticing.
The other person's appearance made Lu Lan frown slightly.
If he remembered correctly, that guy should be a disciple of a sect called Hanhu Sect, named Su Li, with a cultivation level of the first level of Xuanyuan Realm.
But he had no grudges against the Hanhu Sect.
I don't know why this guy is looking at him like that.
After thinking for a while, Lu Lan didn't think about it anymore.
Anyway, when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
The draw was over quickly.
Lu Lan drew number five.
