Chapter 188 Meng Shuang's Reminder
Ten days later! It was October, a golden autumn with a clear and refreshing breeze.
The climax of the sect competition has arrived.
Foundation building competition.
Unlike the battles in the early and middle stages of foundation building where only Li Caiying was in charge, this competition in the late stage of foundation building was presided over by four Jindan elders, including one in the late Jindan stage.
There are a total of five late Jindan masters in Xiyue Sect. One of them has been in seclusion for a long time and is said to be breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Apart from this man, including the Sect Master Fei Yuelan, the remaining four late Jindan masters have all arrived.
The three sides of the stone walls were filled with guests from other sects who came to watch the ceremony.
The huge square also attracted more than 80% of the Xiyue Sect disciples who came to watch.
Every previous late foundation building competition was extremely lively, but none as lively as this one. The reason was very simple. This time, there were several disciples in the late foundation building competition who were extremely popular in Xiyue Sect.
Xing Xueqing, the sect master's direct disciple, had already entered the late stage of foundation building twenty years ago. She was the most popular person in Xiyue Sect before Tang Ruowei came to Xiyue Sect.
The main reason why Xing Xueqing's popularity is not as good as Tang Ruowei in the past twenty years is that Xing Xueqing has rarely appeared in the sect in the past twenty years.
There are rumors that Xing Xueqing has gone out to prepare for the Jindan stage, and there are also rumors that Xing Xueqing is in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Jindan stage in one go. As for the things needed for the Jindan stage, the sect leader has already prepared them.
There were all kinds of rumors, but they all pointed to one thing: Xing Xueqing had not appeared for a long time, and this time Xing Xueqing's name appeared on the registration list of disciples in the late foundation building stage, which immediately caused a sensation.
In addition, there is Yue Juan, the disciple of the Fourth Elder. In the sect competition ten years ago, Yue Juan ranked eleventh.
Any disciple who has experienced that competition knows that Yue Juan’s true strength is definitely more than this ranking. The reason why she stopped at eleventh place is because once she enters the top ten, she can no longer participate in the next competition.
Yue Juan gave up on being in the top ten just to be able to participate in the competition again this time.
The reason why she gave up in the previous session was because the first place winner of the previous session was already half a step into the Jindan stage, and he entered the Jindan stage in the third year after winning the competition.
Everyone knows that Yue Juan came in eleventh place last time just for the sake of first place in this year's competition. Before Xing Xueqing signed up, she was recognized by many disciples of Xiyue Sect as the player most likely to win first place.
After Yue Juan, there are also some disciples with high voices, and among the male cultivators, Nangong Feng has the highest voice, of course, mainly due to the support of the disciples of Hongri Peak.
“This class is really strong.”
"Do you regret it?"
"Regret? Impossible. Even if I fail this time, I will definitely participate in the next one."
Tang Ruowei snorted lightly. She signed up for this competition with no intention of winning first place, but just wanted to hone herself.
Although there are competitions among the disciples of Xiyue Sect, these competitions are always limited. Only during the big competitions will everyone give their all.
The master told her that she jumped from the early stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building in one go. Her realm had caught up but her combat skills had not. It just so happened that this competition gave her the opportunity.
“I have ambition.”
Chu Ning rubbed Tang Ruowei's head, but Tang Ruowei turned her head away: "Chu Ning, I noticed that you seem to like rubbing my head very much. Are you a lolita control as you often say? But I am not a lolita either."
Over the past few years, Chu Ning often instilled some ideas into Tang Ruowei, such as royal sister, queen, cat girl, loli and so on. Tang Ruowei was opposed most of the time, but she would occasionally cooperate with Chu Ning.
"Well……"
The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. Tang Xiaoniu and Lolita are indeed not compatible. Tang Xiaoniu is more suitable for the temperament of a mature woman.
Only he knew how breathtakingly beautiful Tang Ruowei's body was when she took off her red dress.
"Stop imagining that."
Entering the square together with Tang Ruowei, the two of them attracted the attention of the whole audience as soon as they landed on their swords.
For the disciples of Xiyue Sect, Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei are a perfect couple, especially the female disciples, who all dream of finding a Taoist partner who is as considerate and handsome as Junior Sister Tang.
Although the guests who came to watch the game did not know Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei, the handsome man and the cool and exquisite woman caught their attention instantly.
What's more, the looks from so many Xiyue Sect disciples in the square also told them that this pair of handsome man and beautiful woman had a complicated background.
"This is Tang Ruowei, and the man over there is Chu Ning."
The guests on the stone platform listened to the discussions of the Xiyue Sect disciples below, with inquiring looks on their faces. The young disciples who came with their seniors were fine, but the Jindan powerhouses were stunned.
Especially when their eyes fell on Chu Ning, they realized that Chu Ning had already reached the Golden Core Realm.
There are rumors outside that Chu Ning is only in the middle stage of foundation building, which is obviously inconsistent with the rumors.
However, these Jindan powerhouses did not tell this matter out. Xiyue Sect did not explain it to the outside world. There must be a reason. There was no need for them to tell others about Chu Ning's true realm.
"come on."
After watching Tang Ruowei take her seat at the contestant's seat, Chu Ning also looked towards the contestant's seat.
At this moment, there are already twelve disciples sitting in the contestant seats. The Xiyue Sect has seen a surge in the number of late-stage foundation-building cultivators in recent years, and the number has reached twenty-six.
This also resulted in three more applicants for this year's competition than in previous years, bringing the total number of applicants to sixteen.
"It seems that Miss Tang might be able to make it into the top ten."
Chu Ning glanced at the contestant seats. Among the twelve contestants present, only six had stronger spiritual power than Tang Xiaoniu. However, Chu Ning also knew that in a battle in the late stage of foundation building, the victory or defeat could not be determined by spiritual power alone.
Otherwise, there is no need to compete. Just count the number of spiritual springs and whoever has more spiritual springs and spiritual liquid will be the first.
Kung Fu, spiritual tools, elixirs, talismans, formations...
These are the conditions that can determine victory or defeat, as well as combat skills.
After experiencing several major battles, Chu Ning discovered that one very important point in the fights between cultivators is the grasp of the timing of using spiritual weapons and trump cards.
Tang Xiaoniu is still a little lacking in this regard, which is why he does not object to Tang Xiaoniu signing up for the competition. He believes that Tang Xiaoniu's master will agree because of this.
Chu Ning glanced at the crowd and was about to look for Meng Sizeng when he heard a voice in his ear.
"Chun Ning, come here."
On the central stone platform, Duan Yurong next to Fei Yuelan was looking at him with a smile. Chu Ning did not hesitate and stood up and flew onto the stone platform.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The disciples of Xiyue Sect were not too surprised to see this scene. They just thought that the sect master and the elders loved the sect master and the people in his sect as well. As for the powerful Jindan masters who were watching the ceremony, they also had no doubts.
Chu Ning is a powerful Jindan master and the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect, so it is normal for him to appear on the stone platform.
However, the disciples of these powerful Jindan masters had envy in their eyes when they saw this scene. It was really the first time for a son-in-law to be as good as Chu Ning.
Marrying a genius of the younger generation of Xiyue Sect and being cared for by the Sect Master and elders of Xiyue Sect made many male disciples want to learn from them.
Chu Ning flew up to the platform and greeted Sect Master Fei, Duan Yurong, and two other late Jindan elders of Xiyue Sect.
"Chu Ning, where do you think Ruo Wei will rank this time?"
Fei Yuelan asked with a smile, which also aroused the curiosity of Duan Yurong and the other two elders.
"I can't guess that those who can cultivate to the late stage of foundation building are not simple people. Everyone has his own trump card. Unless someone has crossed a small realm, it is hard to say who will win or lose until the last moment."
Chu Ning naturally would not respond to this. He knew from Tang Xiaoniu that this time, four rare disciples in the late Jindan stage all participated in this competition.
Xing Xueqing is the disciple of Sect Leader Fei, and Yue Juan is also a disciple of the elder on the left. There is also another contestant who is also very popular and is a disciple of another one.
A quarter of an hour later, all the contestants arrived, and Chu Ning also noticed the three contestants who were most popular.
Xing Xueqing in white, Zhang Qiang, a woman in black with a cold face from beginning to end, and Yue Juan who was wearing the same clothes as Tang Xiaoniu.
Chu Ning frowned slightly because he found that there was something wrong with Xing Xueqing's gaze. It stayed on Tang Xiaoniu for too long.
Tang Xiaoniu has just entered the late stage of foundation building not long ago. Xing Xueqing should set her sights on Yue Juan and Zhang Qiang, just like Yue Juan and Zhang Qiang, whose eyes only glanced at Tang Xiaoniu.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Chu Ning whispered in his heart that Xing Xueqing was Sect Master Fei's direct disciple, and he couldn't say anything without any evidence.
Just as Chu Ning was thinking, a voice came from the stone platform beside him.
"Brother Chu Ning."
Chu Ning looked towards the stone platform on the left, where there were several figures, and the one waving at him was Meng Shuang. In addition to Meng Shuang, there were Zhou Tong and several foundation-building disciples.
When Meng Shuang saw Chu Ning looking at her, she flew onto another empty stone platform and continued to wave at Chu Ning.
"Does this mean that I should go down?"
To be honest, Chu Ning didn't want to have too much connection with the little princess of Wentianmen, but Meng Shuang saw that he was indifferent and blinked at him repeatedly.
Is there something you want to say to yourself?
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ning apologized to Fei Yuelan and the others, and landed on the stone platform where Meng Shuang was.
After seeing Chu Ning falling, Meng Shuang reached out and pressed a protruding stone on the side of the stone platform. A transparent light curtain appeared on the stone platform, covering the entire platform.
The sudden light curtain attracted the attention of the people on the other stone platforms. When they saw Chu Ning and Meng Shuang standing together, their expressions were a little strange.
Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei are only famous in Xiyue Sect, but the little princess of Wentian Sect is extremely famous in the four continents.
Why are these two standing together?
A son-in-law of Xiyue Sect and a little princess of Wentian Sect, it seems a bit weird no matter how you think about it.
"Brother Chu Ning, this light curtain can prevent others from spying on our conversation. I want to tell you that the female contestant in white is hostile to Sister Tang Ruowei."
