After leaving the competition venue, Chu Wanwan went straight back to her residence.
This accommodation was prepared by the Lingxiao Sect; it was a simple and unpretentious courtyard. Although the house itself wasn't luxurious, its tranquil environment was perfect for her to rest and recharge during breaks in the competition.
After returning to her residence, Chu Wanwan did not linger but went straight into her spatial dimension to begin cultivating.
The second round of the qualifying competition began the following day. The first round of selection was divided into five rounds, with fifty people selected from each round, for a total of two hundred and fifty people selected from the ten major sects.
She didn't know about the other sects, but compared to the lower-ranked Qionghua Immortal Sect, the Starry Sky Sect only had ten people advance, which showed that the Starry Sky Sect was truly weak.
This qualifying round will select 100 people from 250. Once these 100 people win, the team going to the outer realm to kill demons will be basically decided.
The match lasted two full days, and Chu Wanwan was the last to appear on the second day.
Knowing how powerful Chu Wanwan was, the Qionghua Immortal Sect sent a mid-stage ninth-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
The two exchanged greetings, and then the cultivator attacked Chu Wanwan directly. He swung his longsword, its sword energy like a rainbow, aimed straight at Chu Wanwan. However, Chu Wanwan was agile and easily dodged the attack.
Then, she summoned the Flowing Light Sword.
Chu Wanwan gripped the Flowing Light Sword, her figure moving swiftly across the arena like a ghost, dodging her opponent's fierce attacks. The cultivator at the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Condensation Realm was quite powerful; each of his sword strikes contained immense spiritual energy, seemingly capable of tearing the air apart.
However, Chu Wanwan was not afraid at all. Relying on her superb agility and swordsmanship, she engaged in a fierce duel with her opponent. Sword light flashed, and energy surged. The two figures moved quickly across the field, dazzling the eyes.
As time went on, Chu Wanwan gradually discovered her opponent's weakness. A cunning glint flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly changed her attack, aiming her sword straight for her opponent's ribs.
The immortal cultivator was shocked and hurriedly tried to defend himself, but it was too late. Chu Wanwan's Flowing Light Sword pierced through his defenses like lightning, tearing his clothes and leaving a shallow wound.
The disciples of Qionghua Immortal Sect were astonished at the sight. They had never expected that Chu Wanwan would be able to find a breakthrough in such a fierce battle, which was truly amazing.
However, Chu Wanwan did not stop attacking. She flashed and circled behind the immortal cultivator, swinging her sword again, aiming straight for his back.
The cultivator sensed the sword energy behind him and was startled, quickly turning around to defend himself. However, Chu Wanwan's swordsmanship was too unpredictable; he couldn't fathom her sword path at all.
Just then, Chu Wanwan suddenly thrust her sword towards the cultivator's chest with astonishing speed. The cultivator had no way to dodge and could only take the blow head-on.
"clang!"
The two swords clashed, producing a crisp metallic sound. The cultivator felt an immense force emanating from the sword, causing his arm to go numb.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Wanwan kicked the immortal cultivator in the abdomen, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted once again, everyone stunned by Chu Wanwan's swordsmanship and agility. The disciples of the Starry Sky Sect were even more moved to tears. They knew that Chu Wanwan could challenge opponents of higher levels, but they never imagined that she could win so easily.
"Wanwan, you're awesome!"
"Wanwan! The number one little genius in the Third Heaven!"
"Wanwan, first place!"
"..."
The disciples of the Starry Sky Sect cheered wildly for Chu Wanwan, their voices merging into a fervent wave that echoed across the arena.
Chu Wanwan smiled slightly and waved to her fellow disciples.
"Tch! What do you mean by 'first place in the Three Heavens'? The opponent was just a mid-level ninth-grade immortal cultivator. The lowest level our sect participates in is a mid-level immortal cultivator. I really don't know what you're so arrogant about!"
"Exactly! A bunch of weaklings who've never seen the world! What's so great about defeating a mid-stage ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"..."
The disciples of Lingxiao Sect looked on with disdain upon hearing the cheers from Xingchen Sect!
"you……"
Chen Mo was about to retort when Chu Wanwan pulled him back: "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, the outcome will be revealed in the future. There's no need to say more now!"
Although Chu Wanwan's voice was not loud, it conveyed a sense of determination and confidence.
She knew that verbal arguments were pointless; the real victory or defeat should be decided by performance on the field.
“Wanwan is right, we don’t need to argue with them.” Zhou Ming walked over and patted Chu Wanwan on the shoulder. “You’ve done very well. Keep up the good work in the next match.”
"good!"
Chu Wanwan nodded, then turned and left the arena.
Over the next few days, the competitions to narrow down the field from 100 to 50, from 50 to 30, and from 30 to 10 proceeded in full swing.
Of the fifty people brought by the Star Gate, only five made it into the top one hundred, and only Chu Wanwan made it into the top fifty. Even Zhou Ming, the beast tamer ranked first in the Star Gate, stopped at fifty-one.
Chu Wanwan relied solely on her own combat strength, plus the amplification from the rune array, to directly advance into the top thirty.
In the competition to narrow down the thirty to the ten, Chu Wanwan encountered a high-level expert at the ninth level of the Concentration Realm.
When she single-handedly defeated that advanced ninth-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and successfully advanced to the top ten, the cultivators who had previously looked down on her and the Starry Sky Sect were all shocked. They stared wide-eyed at Chu Wanwan, who stood proudly on the field, covered in injuries.
"This... how is this possible?" A cultivator who had previously scoffed at Chu Wanwan muttered to himself, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
