Ke Mengling has objections, but can he tell the truth?
Obviously not. Suppressing the anger surging within him, he shook his head and said, "I misunderstood. I'm sorry!"
As he turned to leave, his face was incredibly ugly, and with every step he took, he felt as if everyone around him was mocking him.
So he didn't participate in the competition and went straight back to his seat.
Seeing that he had returned so soon, Lu Yunzong asked in surprise, "You've already registered?"
Ke Mengling shook her head, "I won't participate this time, to avoid going up against my junior brother."
"That's alright, you can have a friendly spar. Go ahead, don't worry too much." Lu Yunzong kept urging him to go.
Ke Mengling felt that she had just been ridiculed by so many people and did not want to go over at all, but she was afraid that refusing again would displease Lu Yunzong, so she had no choice but to get up and go over.
Isn't it tiring to live like someone who's always secretly trying to figure out what others are thinking, but never actually does?
He was tired, but he seemed to enjoy it all the time, and he couldn't help but try to figure things out and scheme every time.
Fortunately, there weren't many disciples attending the ceremony, so the registration was completed in just over half an hour.
When the hour was up, Chaotian walked to the center of the square with a wooden box. "To ensure fairness and save time, the tenth person will be in a group, for a total of ten groups, with one person skipping a turn."
"The winners advance to the next round, and the eleven people will compete in pairs to determine the final three winners."
"Also, each of the eleven people who advance to the next round will receive a Spirit Nourishing Pill as a reward."
"If you have any questions, you can ask them now. After the draw, you may not ask any more questions."
As soon as Chao Tian finished speaking, someone immediately raised their hand and asked, "Among the eleven people, does the one who gets a bye also receive a reward?"
Chao Tian nodded, "Of course there is. Luck is also a kind of strength, so why wouldn't there be?"
After these words were spoken, no one had any questions.
As long as you win, even if it's just by luck, you'll get a reward.
This made the disciples below even more excited, hoping that they would be the lucky ones.
Although they didn't know what kind of pill the Spirit Nourishing Pill was, could something that the Supreme God Palace offered as a reward alongside a celestial artifact be an ordinary item?
Although he knew it was extraordinary, someone still asked, and that person was Lou Xun.
Lou Xun glanced at Chong Jiu and asked, "Palace Master Chong, what kind of pill is this Spirit Nourishing Pill, and what is its purpose?"
Chong Jiu glanced at him and said indifferently, "The Spirit Nourishing Pill, as the name suggests, is naturally for nourishing the spirit. It can allow cultivators to quickly recover their spiritual power, and those with abundant spiritual power can improve their cultivation level."
Lou Xun's eyelids twitched. "It can even improve cultivation?"
Not only him, but even the people around him couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.
Ai Chong also glanced at him, his shock only growing stronger.
“Of course, I have no reason to lie to you.” Chong Jiu took out a Spirit Nourishing Pill and tossed it to him. “Take a look.”
Lou Xun caught the elixir bottle and immediately opened the stopper. Just by feeling the spiritual energy emanating from it, he knew that what Chong Jiu had said was true.
The elixir in the bottle possesses exceptionally pure spiritual energy. This kind of elixir not only enhances cultivation but also has no side effects.
Lou Xun took a deep breath, returned the Spirit Nourishing Pill to Chong Jiu, and then asked, "Who in your Supreme Divine Palace refined this Spirit Nourishing Pill?"
Chong Jiu put away the pills, a slight smile playing on his lips. "They were made by my wife, Palace Master Shu."
Lou Xun's gaze towards Shu Jianyue immediately changed; he no longer deliberately ignored her as before.
"I wonder who Master Shu's master is, that he has such talent and ability to refine such a divine pill."
Shu Jianyue glanced at him and smiled, "Even if I told you who my master is, the God Lord probably wouldn't know."
"However, if the Divine Lord needs the Spirit Nourishing Pill, he can discuss it with Chaotian later. For now, let's assess the strength of the disciples from each sect."
Chaotian has already announced the first ten groups, and there's only one person left.
Only one person remained whose name hadn't been called; they naturally knew who it was.
This person is Ai Huixian of the Tiande Sect.
Ai Huixian never expected that she would be so unlucky as to get a bye.
When Chaotian read out the name, everyone looked at her.
"Oh, it's the First Fairy! I didn't expect her to be so lucky."
"What number one fairy? Now that Young Master Yan is here, she can no longer be considered the number one fairy."
"Don't say that. After all, she was chosen as the number one fairy by everyone. How can she be fickle and abandon the old for the new?"
Chao Tian glanced at Ai Huixian and said, "Ai Huixian of Tiande Sect has a bye. Now, the first group, please come up on stage."
Ai Chong seemed not to hear that his daughter had missed her turn, staring blankly at the ground, his mind a jumble of thoughts.
He wasn't suffering from amnesia, so he naturally remembered sending people to capture Chongjiu and his wife. However, the first person who went never returned and became a member of the Supreme Temple, while the others who went later all had psychological trauma after returning.
Although the Supreme Temple didn't suffer any losses, it doesn't mean they didn't mind.
He didn't know if, after doing so much, he could still maintain this relationship and obtain the Spirit Nourishing Pill.
Ai Chong looked up at the sky and saw two ancient divine beasts. How could he have believed the promises made by the divine son?
Oh, right, Divine Child.
Ai Chong looked over at Lou Wenli, and when he saw that the man in black robes had also come along, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Of course, it was he who suggested that the Supreme Temple possess the God-Soothing Fruit, which led him to use Nian'er's death as an excuse to send people down to arrest her.
How dare he come today?
Not only did he see it, but Shu Jianyue saw it too.
He glanced at Lou Wenli, then looked at the man in black robes, wondering how to cause trouble for the Guihai family.
The Gui family is not qualified to participate in today's ceremony.
Gui Hai's family is a large clan in the world, but in this Holy Spirit, they are nothing.
Lost in thought, only one match remained out of the ten mixed-player games.
Mixed-style fighting is the easiest way to get injured. Chaotian would have the injured person carried away for treatment, and then announce the next match.
After ten matches, Shu Jianyue felt like she had watched ten brawls. There was no teamwork; everyone just attacked whoever they saw.
The remaining eleven people were given Spirit Nourishing Pills on the spot by Chaotian. They were told to take them to restore their spiritual power, and those with good physiques could even break through to the next level to prepare for the next individual competition.
Ai Huixian did not take the Spirit Nourishing Pill after receiving it because she was unsure about its quality and whether it had any side effects.
But the other disciples all took it.
