Chapter 189 Where is the Hostility?

Is Xing Xueqing hostile to Tang Ruowei?

Chu Ning looked at Meng Shuang. He did not doubt what Meng Shuang said because he had the same feeling.

But how did Meng Shuang know that?

With the personality of a little girl like Meng Shuang, she shouldn't pay attention to these details.

"Brother Chu Ning, have you forgotten that I said I have a special ability in soul perception? If a person is hostile to another person, facial expressions can hide it, but there will be fluctuations in the soul. Just now, when the woman in white looked at Sister Tang, her soul had abnormal fluctuations."

Meng Shuang explained the reason to Chu Ning, and after listening to her, Chu Ning looked at Meng Shuang with admiration.

This little girl's special ability is amazing. It's like a hostility tester that can detect whether a person is hostile towards someone else.

"In fact, when you were refining the elixir in the square, I found that Yue Yaotian of Xuantian Sect was very hostile to you."

Meng Shuang gave Chu Ning another message. Chu Ning was stunned. Of course he knew who Yue Yaotian was, he was the young master of Xuantian Sect.

It’s just understandable that Yue Yaotian is hostile to me. At that time, I was refining the elixir under the identity of Yao Xin. Logically speaking, this person should not be too hostile to me.

"Thanks for the reminder."

Xuantian Sect was left behind first, but where did Xing Xueqing's hostility towards Tang Xiaoniu come from? Because Tang Xiaoniu stole her limelight? If that was the reason, there was no need to endure it for so long. Xing Xueqing had plenty of opportunities to vent her anger over the years.

"I think you have to be more careful, Brother Chu Ning." Meng Shuang reminded.

"Yes, I will."

Because of the light curtain blocking the spiritual consciousness, the other people on the stone platform could only see Chu Ning and Meng Shuang talking, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

"When did Chu Ning become so close to the little princess of Wentian Sect?"

Duan Yurong frowned as she watched this scene and said softly.

"Pfft." Fei Yuelan laughed out loud: "Junior sister, Chu Ning is the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect, and even more so your disciple's son-in-law. You, as the master, don't know, so how can we know."

Duan Yurong remained silent. Another woman beside her smiled and said, "Senior Sister Duan, are you worried about Ruo Wei? Are you afraid that such a good son-in-law will run away?"

"Everyone knows that Chu Ning is the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect. If he is stolen away to become the son-in-law of Wentian Sect, then our Xiyue Sect will lose face."

It seemed that the oldest female elder also spoke with a smile, but they were all just joking. Given the relationship between Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei, such a thing would never happen.

What's more, they knew Meng Shuang's status in the Wentian Sect, and the Sect Master Meng Yang would definitely not agree to this.

He is a well-known daughter slave.

There were similar comments on other stone platforms as well, but as the competition began, everyone's attention was focused on the competition.

The rules of the foundation-building competition are very simple. According to the ranking, the first place will face the last place, and the second place will face the second to last place.

This method will prevent strong opponents from meeting each other in advance. As for the ranking of the contestants, it will be decided by collective voting of the elders of Xiyue Sect.

Disciples in the late foundation building stage are not unknown people in Xiyue Sect. The elders also pay attention to them on a daily basis and have a general understanding of the disciples' strength. This ranking is rigorous and fair.

In fact, in every previous competition, the final rankings were very similar to the rankings given by the elders.

Dong! A bell rang in the square, and Tang Ruowei was quickly assigned an opponent, a female disciple ranked seventh.

In the ranking given by the elders of Xiyue Sect, Tang Ruowei ranked fourteenth, third from the bottom.

There was no way. She had entered the late stage of foundation building too short a time, only three years in total, and she had little combat experience, so the elders gave her a ranking based on a comprehensive analysis.

Xing Xueqing, who ranked first, had her first battle against the female cultivator who ranked sixteenth.

"Senior Sister Xing, please give me some advice."

"Um."

Xing Xueqing nodded in response, raised her right hand, and the three flying swords turned into three streams of light and shot towards the female cultivator opposite.

The expression of the female cultivator opposite changed, and she quickly took out a mirror, which suddenly expanded and turned into a shield to block in front of her.

Unfortunately, the mirror only blocked one flying sword, and two of the flying swords shot directly through the mirror and hit the female cultivator's chest.

"Thank you!"

Xing Xueqing made hand gestures, and three flying swords flew back. The female cultivator opposite her turned pale, and then smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for showing mercy."

The female cultivator jumped off the stage, and Xing Xueqing strolled back to her seat, with no change in her expression from beginning to end.

It was not until Xing Xueqing left the stage that a burst of discussion broke out at the scene.

Everyone knew that Xing Xueqing would definitely win this match, but they didn't expect her to win so cleanly. It didn't seem like a contest between people at the same level at all, but more like a cross-level crushing.

"As expected of a disciple taught directly by the Xiyue Sect's leader, Xing Xueqing has probably already reached the Jindan stage."

"Too powerful! That mirror should be a top-grade spiritual weapon, but it couldn't block Xing Xueqing's flying sword."

The reason why spiritual weapons are divided into different grades is because of the strength of the spiritual weapons themselves. For a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon, the more spiritual power it injects, the stronger its defense will naturally be. However, with the same amount of spiritual power, the defense of a top-grade spiritual weapon will be several times that of a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

In the later stage of foundation building and with the help of high-quality spiritual weapons, one is generally invincible in the same realm.

The talented disciples from the affiliated sects of Xiyue Sect had shocked expressions on their faces. Only now did they understand why their master and elders had brought them here to watch the battle.

This is the gap between them and the talented disciples of the big sects.

After Xing Xueqing took her seat, Yue Juan was the second to come on stage. Perhaps influenced by Xing Xueqing, Yue Juan's moves were also quick and decisive, and she swept her opponent directly with a spear.

Fei Yuelan and the others on the high platform looked somewhat helpless. For the sect, the Foundation Establishment Competition was not only for selecting talented disciples and motivating them to practice hard, but also to provide disciples with an opportunity for actual combat.

But in this way, its actual combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

The same was true for Xing Xueqing, Yue Juan, and Zhang Qiang. It was not until the fourth game that the fight lasted a little longer. The two players each performed several skills, and in the end, the female player on the left defeated her opponent with her stronger spiritual power.

The fifth game, the sixth game... were also like this. The disciples watching were fascinated, and many of them were thinking about how they would respond if they were attacked on the stage.

The seventh game! The atmosphere was a little more lively than the previous two games.

"The seventh match, Zhang Qianru versus Tang Ruowei!"

The Jindan realm expert from Xiyue Sect who served as the referee spoke, and Tang Ruowei walked onto the stage, and at the same time, a pretty female cultivator also walked up.

"Junior Sister Tang, you are very popular."

Zhang Qianru thought about it and looked at Tang Ruowei. She could feel the discussions around her and there was a hint of envy in her eyes.

She was not like Tang Ruowei, who was trained by the sect and was able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building. She had made steady progress step by step. Among so many junior sisters present, I'm afraid half of them have never heard of her.

It can be said that Tang Ruowei and she are exactly the portrayal of two different types of disciples of Xiyue Sect.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Who said this popularity is mine? It can also be Senior Sister Zhang's. Senior Sister Zhang, please don't let me lose too badly later. I'm just here to make up the numbers."

Tang Ruowei smiled playfully, and Zhang Qianru smiled. One of the reasons why Tang Ruowei was so popular in Xiyue Sect was that she had a good temper.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qianru glanced at Xing Xueqing who was sitting in the seat. After joining the sect, that person received a similar treatment as Tang Ruowei. However, no one knew what happened twenty years ago, and that person suddenly left Xiyue Sect. He only came back a few times over the years.

"Okay, then Junior Sister, be careful."

As soon as Zhang Qianru finished speaking, spiritual energy emanated from her body. The excited spiritual energy fluctuations tore through the air around her, and a flying sword condensed by spiritual energy was suspended in front of her.

One, two, three...

Sixteen in total.

"This is the Sword Controlling Technique, right? It is said that the limit for those below the Golden Core stage is twenty swords. It is already very terrifying that Senior Sister Zhang can condense sixteen swords."

"The power of these spirit swords is no less than that of real flying swords."

Tang Ruowei looked at the sixteen flying swords, her pretty face became solemn, her body spun slightly, and the spiritual power in her hands condensed into a huge mountain of fire.

"go!"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time. Sixteen flying swords flew out and collided with the Flaming Mountain. There was a loud bang, and then the flames dissipated. However, two of the sixteen flying swords remained and continued to fly towards Tang Ruowei.

Seeing this, Tang Ruowei took out a green gourd. The gourd swelled in the wind. The huge gourd mouth had a terrifying suction force that directly sucked the two flying swords into the gourd. At the same time, this suction force also made Zhang Qianru's sleeves rustle.

"Soul-Swallowing Gourd, Junior Sister still loves Ruo Wei."

Fei Yuelan looked at the green gourd with surprise in her beautiful eyes. Others didn't know the origin of this gourd, but she knew it clearly. It was obtained in a secret realm when she and her junior sister were both in the foundation-building stage.

This gourd can swallow anything that contains spiritual power, and it is considered a powerful weapon in the foundation-building realm.

Imagine that when you are fighting an enemy, no matter whether the opponent uses spiritual power or spiritual tools, it will be absorbed by the gourd. How can the opponent fight? However, the Soul Swallowing Gourd is not a simple spiritual tool. If you want to control it, you must completely refine it. It took my junior sister ten years to refine it.

Fei Yuelan knew in her heart that her junior sister must have helped her disciple, otherwise Tang Ruowei would not be able to refine the Soul-Swallowing Gourd with her strength.

The gourd was hanging above her head, and a thin needle appeared in Tang Ruowei's hand. With a light flick, Zhang Qianru was shocked to find that a spiritual net appeared around her and surrounded her.

Zhang Qianru wanted to retreat, but found that there was nowhere to retreat. The most important thing was that as soon as she used her spiritual power, it would be sucked away by the gourd.

"Senior Sister Zhang, this net of mine is made from the bones of special monsters. It can block the entire area. Even if you want to escape underground, you can't."

Tang Ruowei reminded her. Zhang Qianru looked at the spiritual net getting closer and closer and smiled bitterly: "I give up."

She believed that Tang Ruowei was not lying. She also felt the murderous aura released by the spiritual net, which definitely came from the monster.

If it was a life-and-death duel, she would not sit and wait for death, because she had two talismans in her storage bag that could break the deadlock. But this was just a duel, and even if she defeated Junior Sister Tang, she was afraid that the next round would be the same.

And it is obviously not worth it for her to lose a trump card for this.

Originally in her plan, she would use the two talismans only if she could pass two rounds and enter the third round.

Zhang Qianru admitted defeat, but the people at the scene did not show much emotion. Tang Ruowei won, which was considered an upset, but it was not really an upset.

Considering how highly Tang Ruowei is valued by the sect, it is normal for her to have one or two powerful spiritual weapons on her.

All I can say is that Senior Sister Zhang just has bad luck.

After Tang Ruowei got off the stage, she clenched her little pink fist in the direction of Chu Ning, and Chu Ning smiled back at her.

Tang Xiaoniu was protesting against herself saying that she was eliminated in the first round.

Then the last two contestants came on stage and there were no upsets.

"In the second round, the eight contestants draw lots. Each of the four lots A, B, C, and D will have two draws. Those who draw the same lot will become opponents."

The referee spoke slowly, and Tang Ruowei and eight other people stepped forward to draw lots. When the result of the draw came out, Chu Ning's face suddenly darkened.

Tang Ruowei was assigned a C sign, and Xing Xueqing was also assigned a C sign.

Chu Ning noticed that when Xing Xueqing saw that she and Tang Ruowei had the same signature, a bitter smile appeared on her pretty face.

So, does Xing Xueqing want to draw the same lot as Tang Ruowei, or does she not want to draw it? (End of this chapter)
