Half a month passed by unknowingly, and soon the day of the sword-fighting competition arrived.
During the past half month, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao spent most of their time consolidating their cultivation and comprehending swordsmanship, and their lives were quite fulfilling.
Arriving at the Sword Contest venue, they saw many young disciples already there, gathered in groups of two or three, chatting. Most of them were very confident in their own abilities, clearly looking forward to the contest.
Chu Lingxiao's gaze swept around, and suddenly fixed on a figure. It was a young man in white, a sword slung across his back, and a cold and stern demeanor. He sensed the powerful aura emanating from him, and a surge of fighting spirit surged within him.
"He is the direct disciple of the Sixth Elder of Yangjian Peak. His name is Lin Yu. It is said that he is one of the favorites to win this sword competition." Gu Qingze said on the side.
"You know?"
Chu Lingxiao was a little surprised. In his opinion, Gu Qingze knew nothing about many things and people, and some of them still needed his reminders.
"It was mentioned in 'A Review of Qingyun'."
Gu Qingze explained that "Qingyun Review" is like a news summary of various things that happened in Qingyun Sect. It contains everything and is updated once a year.
After hearing his words, Chu Lingxiao thought seriously: "Looks like I should buy a copy too."
As time went on, more and more people arrived. The atmosphere gradually became tense as the sword fighting competition was about to begin.
At this time, an old man walked up to the platform and said loudly: "The sword fighting competition begins now!"
The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on the person on the podium. The person was Qingyun Sect's Grand Elder, Qinglan, who was also the third most powerful person in the entire Qingyun Sect.
The old man continued, "This sword-fighting competition is divided into three stages: preliminary round, semi-final, and final. The preliminary round will eliminate half of the contestants, and the semi-final will eliminate the remaining half. The ten contestants who enter the final will compete for the championship. The rules of the competition are as follows..."
Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze were also listening carefully to the rules of the game and secretly encouraging each other.
As the preliminary round was announced to begin, the atmosphere instantly became heated.
The sword-fighting competition uses a drawing of lots to select opponents, which means that for most people, unless they are very strong, luck will definitely play a big role.
Even if a cultivator is in the Nascent Soul stage, if he is unlucky and draws a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage or even the Void Refinement stage in the first game, then he can only admit defeat.
Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze looked at each other, then walked towards the drawing table.
Although they all want to draw opponents who are not very strong and rank higher, this kind of thing depends on luck.
After drawing the lot, Chu Lingxiao took a look and saw "number three" written on it. He looked around, looking for his opponent.
Soon, a burly man walked up to him, holding a bamboo stick with the number "3" written on it.
"I am Li Han from Luanjianfeng, and I'm grateful for your advice!" the man said with a bow, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.
Chu Lingxiao smiled and responded, "I am Chu Lingxiao from Hidden Sword Peak. Please give me your guidance!"
"Oh, it's Cangjian Peak, one of the twelve main peaks. Let me see your strength!"
Chu Lingxiao nodded. Li Han was also in the Jindan stage, so he was capable of fighting. Moreover, he had drawn number three, so it would soon be their turn.
