Jiang Roushui slowly opened her eyes and reluctantly said, "The sect ranking competition is a duel between disciples from each sect. Only cultivators under the age of 30 can participate. There is no restriction on cultivation level, and it adopts a team competition format."
"Teams of ten will compete against all participating sect teams in the ranking competition. Rankings will be determined by the number of wins and losses. The team that doesn't lose a single match will take first place."
Jiang Deng nodded thoughtfully, "To put it simply, it's a group fight."
Jiang Roushui's breathing stagnated, and she suppressed the spitting of blood as she said, "...You are right in understanding it."
"Since there are a total of one hundred sects participating in the ranking competition, if we only have one team, we will be exhausted from frequent battles over the next few days. Therefore, I will divide you into two groups, Group A and Group B."
Jiang Roushui laid out his tactics in full, "In the first two days, when we fight against weaker sects, Group B will be on the field. In the next few days, when we fight against stronger sects, Group A will be on the field."
Jiang Deng's mouth twitched. Is this also a tactic?
Okay, okay, she doesn't have to use her brain anyway, she just needs to fight.
After all, she still received a huge monthly salary from the Taichu Sword Sect, so she had to do something practical.
"Ahem," Jiang Roushui coughed awkwardly. "Feng Jiuyou refused to join Group A just now, and Group A is still short of one person. Since Master Jiang Feng has already entered the middle stage of the Core Formation Realm, you should join Group A. As for your sister..."
Jiang Roushui looked at Jiang Zhiling for a few times and found that she had already entered the Jindan stage. She was a little surprised. "Although Jiang Zhiling has entered the Jindan stage, her realm is still unstable, so she was placed in Group B."
Jiang Zhiling nodded when she heard this and had no objection.
It seems that Group B participates in more battles, so she can take this opportunity to hone herself and gain some combat experience.
"Here are the group rosters. You should practice your coordination well these days to avoid any problems on the court."
Jiang Roushui first used her spiritual power as ink to write down the names of the two groups on a piece of paper. Then she used her spiritual power to make several copies and distributed them to everyone.
Jiang Deng reached out and took the paper that floated in front of him, and saw that on the list of Group A, Lin Jun's name was the first one written.
“…”
Good guy, putting her and Lin Jun together, not afraid that they will mess up the game.
His gaze shifted downwards, and then it was Xia Chenqing and Wen Yan...
Jiang Deng immediately understood. No wonder Jiang Roushui dared to put her and Lin Jun together. She probably felt that with Xia Chenqing, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, to support them, nothing would go wrong between them.
"In this ranking battle, our Taichu Sword Sect must take first place!" Jiang Roushui's usually gentle tone became a little more serious.
"What a hassle!" Jiang Deng, who was always lazy, couldn't help but complain. "Can't I just not take first place?"
Jiang Roushui rolled his eyes, nearly fainting from the irritation of Jiang Deng. He suppressed his fury and said, "Only those who take first place in the sect ranking competition will be eligible to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Realm and participate in the Sword Competition!"
Hmm? A sword fighting tournament?
Seeing the puzzled looks from the crowd, Jiang Roushui had no choice but to explain, "The Sword Competition is held every three hundred years, and the location is chosen to be the largest sword sect in the Ten Realms, Kaitianmen."
"Each Spirit Realm only has ten spots to enter Kaitianmen and participate in the Sword Competition. Not only can you spar with sword geniuses from other Spirit Realms and learn exquisite sword techniques, you can also meet the contemporary Sword Master, Duan Chuan!"
As she spoke, Jiang Roushui's eyes couldn't help but show a bit of longing. "As a sword cultivator, if I can get some guidance from the Sword Master in this lifetime, my future sword path will definitely be smooth..."
All those present were sword cultivators, and upon hearing that they could see the famous Sword Master, exclamations arose one after another.
"Sword Master Duan Chuan is the only Sword Master in the world!"
"Oh my God, if I can get the guidance of the Sword Master, I will be willing to die!"
"It would be great if I could be accepted as a disciple by the Sword Master..."
…
Unlike everyone else who was excited, Jiang Deng frowned slightly, looking dissatisfied.
Duan Chuan?
Of course she remembered the name. Wasn't this her third apprentice?
He actually became the Sword Master?
All of her disciples are either demon kings, devil lords, or sword lords. How come they are all doing so well?
How can she, as a master, maintain mental balance?
"Uncle Jiang, that's not right!"
The quick-witted Shi Zihang reacted, "Since only sword cultivators can participate in the Sword Competition, then these ten spots should be given directly to us, the Taichu Sword Sect! Why are we still going through all the trouble to compete?"
Jiang Roushui shook her head and lowered her voice, "It was like this in the past two sessions, but this time it's different. Domain Master Murong has been dissatisfied with our Taichu Sword Sect for a long time, so he spread the word that whoever wins first place in the sect ranking competition will have the right to decide the quota."
"Our Taichu Sword Sect and the Blissful Palace have had a feud for many years. If we lose to them this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to participate in this sword fighting competition. Sigh..."
After a brief period of depression, Jiang Roushui regained her spirits and said encouragingly, "So, no matter what, our Taichu Sword Sect must take first place in this sect ranking competition!"
"Although there are only ten places to participate in the sword-fighting competition, our Taichu Sword Sect will also give the other ten participants the most generous rewards." Jiang Roushui said confidently.
"Uncle Jiang, rest assured. We will live up to the sect's trust and take first place!"
Everyone patted their chests and made the promise.
Jiang Deng was naturally not among them. She sat in her seat and lost herself in memories of the past.
I remember that when she died in her previous life, apart from the eldest disciple, the third disciple was the most cruel in killing her.
Tsk, after I’ve dealt with the fourth apprentice, I’ll go find the third apprentice!
However, it seems that if I want to get close to the third disciple, I must help the Taichu Sword Sect win the first place in the ranking competition...
After discussing matters concerning the ranking battle, everyone returned to their rooms, ready to improve their skills while the competition was still a few days away.
Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling live in the same room.
Jiang Deng opened the window and looked out.
This place is worthy of being the top floor of Wangxian Tower. It is indeed high enough to clearly see the main hall located in the center of the Jile Fairy Palace. Not only does it cover a large area, it is also surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.
In fact, it is called the Asgard.
According to Ying Yubing, Murong Feiran lives in the Immortal Palace, and the residences of the Taichu Sword Sect disciples are all around it, surrounding the Immortal Palace like stars surrounding the moon.
If a fight really breaks out, it might be difficult for her to escape...
Jiang Deng touched his chin and decided to wait until it was completely dark before making any plans.
Soon, it was completely dark.
Jiang Deng turned his head to look behind him at Jiang Zhiling, who was meditating on the bed, and said, "Zhiling, I'm going out for a while. If anyone comes looking for me, just tell them I'm already asleep."
Jiang Zhiling didn't ask any more questions, and simply nodded and said, "Okay, sister, go ahead and don't worry."
"Um."
Too lazy to climb the stairs, Jiang Deng jumped down through the open window!
