He spent nearly half an hour just drawing blows from his opponent, making Shu Jianyue almost doze off.
Chong Jiu gently pulled her close, letting her lean against him. "Weren't we looking for the person who recognized Chao Tian's true form? Let's ask him if he saw anything."
"Oh right, I almost forgot." Shu Jianyue immediately transmitted her voice to Chaotian.
As a result, Chaotian didn't see that person at all yesterday.
But when I came to Chaotian today, I saw that person was not there.
Therefore, that person is very likely not from the Four Seas, but from the Upper Realm.
Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu, "Could it be from the Holy Spirit or Shenzhou?"
Chong Jiu nodded. "Possibly."
"If they come from either of these two places, then they're much easier to deal with; just kill them."
Shu Jianyue looked around and murmured, "I hope he doesn't go back. If he goes back and brings some big shot with him, it will definitely cause trouble."
After looking around but not finding anyone with the characteristics described by Chaotian, just as I was about to use my mental power to take another look, the competition began.
The first match was between the Supreme Temple and the Fu Family.
The competition was for seven people. Yun Zhongtian hadn't originally planned to participate today, but after seeing Fu Heng, he changed his mind and switched places with Jiang Jingyi.
Therefore, the first six people were all from the Yi clan, no, they are now disciples of the Supreme Divine Temple, Mount Nanyue.
The Supreme Temple won the first two matches, and the Fu family's momentum began to weaken.
Fu Heng glanced at Yun Zhongtian and the others, then looked at Shu Jianyue.
She was also sitting in the disciples' seat; was she now a disciple as well? Even if I had risen two ranks, I might not be her match.
If she plays, it will be difficult for the Fu family to win today.
The more Fu Heng thought about it, the more his brows furrowed. He turned and walked toward his father, Fu Jie, and whispered, "Father, among the disciples of the Supreme God Palace are elders from the Eight Desolate Prosperous Age Academy. With the cultivation level of our Fu family disciples, I'm afraid we can't win."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jie looked over and immediately saw Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu, two people he naturally remembered well.
Even he was no match for him, let alone his disciple.
Fu Jie immediately got up and walked towards Qiu Zhengqi.
Qiu Zhengqi looked at him in surprise, "Patriarch Fu, is there something you need from me?"
Fu Jie nodded and pointed to Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu, saying, "Sect Leader Qiu, how could those two, with their cultivation levels, participate in such a grand competition?"
Qiu Zhengqi looked in the direction he was pointing, then chuckled and said, "They're not disciples participating in the competition; they're just sitting there watching."
Upon hearing that it wasn't true, Fu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his eyes and said, "How can outsiders sit on the disciples' seats to watch the competition? What's wrong with the Supreme God Temple? They have no manners at all."
Qiu Zhengqi glanced at him, but did not reveal Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu's identities. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Although they are not disciples, they are still people from the Supreme Divine Palace. Why can't they sit there?"
They were not disciples, but they were people from the Supreme God Palace. In a sect, besides disciples, there were only hall masters, peak masters, and elders.
That makes sense. With their cultivation level, how could they possibly become disciples in a newly established sect?
Fu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, but then he raised his head again.
The ranking of sects is not only a competition among disciples, but also a competition among elders and sect leaders.
However, compared to the disciples' grand competition, theirs was much simpler and more direct, simply comparing cultivation levels.
Now, the head of the Fu family is not as powerful as a hall master or peak master in other families, so their ranking will have to drop again and again!
Qiu Zhengqi could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. He curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't even mention your Fu family. Even our Kongdingyun Sect would have to be ranked lower if our patriarch didn't come out of seclusion."
"Although the Supreme Temple is a newly established sect, it is a powerful sect."
"If a sect does not have a founding master to protect it, then its ranking will have to be lowered."
These words pierced Fu Jie's heart. Their Fu family's ancestor had gone to the Holy Spirit, so he could foresee that their ranking would drop this year, but he didn't want it to drop too much.
Rankings are related to resource allocation.
They won't touch your own assets, but the resources in those secret realms are allocated based on this ranking.
Therefore, those who become the top seller will basically remain in that position, since they have an advantage in resource allocation.
The strong will only become stronger, and the weak will remain weak if they do not seize opportunities to rise.
Fu Jie returned to his seat somewhat dazed.
Seeing his state, Fu Heng thought he hadn't been persuaded and became anxious. "Father, what's wrong? Is it that Master Qiu refuses to take action?"
Fu Jie shook his head and looked at him, saying, "Heng'er, this competition is about whether our Fu family can maintain its current glory, so you must do your best to win a few matches."
His strength is average, but if his disciples can improve their ranking, then his ranking can be raised.
The ranking of sects across the four seas is first based on the cultivation level of the sect's leaders, and then on the ranking of the disciples in the grand competition, with the average score used for the ranking.
Fu Heng looked at Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu with his brows furrowed, "But if the two of them play, even if I give it my all, I still can't win."
Fu Jie then realized, "Oh, they're not disciples participating in the Grand Competition; they should be hall masters or peak masters of the Supreme Divine Palace."
Fu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
"However, Father, I feel that the person sitting in the main seat of the Supreme God Temple looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him before."
Fu Jie glanced at Chao Tian and then looked away. "Maybe you've just run into him somewhere. Don't overthink it. Calm down and focus on winning the upcoming competition."
"Yes, Father." Fu Heng bowed and returned to his seat as a disciple.
In the seven-player tournament, the Fu family has already lost three matches, so they cannot afford to lose again.
Fu Heng glanced at it and immediately stood up. "Father, I'll go up for this match, otherwise our Fu family will lose this competition."
Fu Jie nodded.
When Yun Zhongtian saw Fu Heng enter the arena, he said something to Jiang Jingyi and then stood up as well.
After Shu Jianyue waited for him to go upstairs, she looked at Xie Yukong and asked, "Does he have some kind of conflict with Fu Heng?"
Jie Yukong shook his head and said, "I have never heard Zhongtian mention any conflict between them."
Back in the Eight Desolations, they were merely acquaintances; if it weren't for Elder Shu's gathering, they probably wouldn't have had any interaction.
Therefore, he couldn't imagine what kind of conflict Yun Zhongtian and Fu Heng could have.
Shu Jianyue looked at the stage and saw that Yun Zhongtian's moves were ruthless. He put the person down in just a few moves. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "It looks like they have a grudge against each other."
Yun Zhongtian's cultivation level is not just one or two levels higher than Fu Heng's, but a whole level higher.
Fu Heng originally thought that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage after returning, which was already remarkable. However, he did not expect that Yun Zhongtian was so much more powerful than him.
I couldn't even last three or four moves against him!
