Chapter 258: I'm Not Afraid of Being Shattered to Pieces (asking for monthly votes)
Antidote!
After hearing Huang Ruyuan's words, many contestants' first reaction was not to look for an antidote.
If you find the wrong antidote, you will have to downgrade. Unless you are 100% sure, you will never look for it.
Huang Ruyuan raised his hand, and this time hundreds of pills appeared in the square.
"You only have half an hour!"
After that, Huang Ruyuan said nothing more.
The players on the field looked at each other in bewilderment, and many of them had already decided not to look for an antidote.
Chu Ning's eyes were quickly searching these pills. According to the information given by the Secret Mirror, the effect of these poison pills would take a quarter of an hour.
Time passed by little by little, and when a quarter of an hour was almost up, Chu Ning's eyes lit up. He finally found the antidote for the poison pill he had taken.
Whoosh! Without any hesitation, Chu Ning disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was holding the pill in his hand.
After Chu Ning took action, several other figures followed suit and picked up the pills.
Tong Shouxian was also among those who took action, but unlike Chu Ning, Tong Shouxian and others were not as decisive as Chu Ning. They just held the pills in their hands and did not take them immediately.
Chu Ning didn't hesitate at all and swallowed the antidote directly.
Seeing Chu Ning's decisive action, Elder Huang Ruyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
After taking the antidote, Chu Ning relaxed and began to observe the other contestants. In the first round, seven of them were directly judged to be the last and did not need to take the elixir. Therefore, out of the 29 contestants who took the elixir, only ten have taken action so far, and the remaining 19 are still watching.
Or to be more precise, these nineteen people had no intention of taking the antidote.
"Hahahaha, Lu Sizhong, Zhang Ji, and the so-called Class A rookie Tong Shouxian are nothing but shit."
In the square, one of the contestants suddenly burst into laughter, and his words were extremely wild, instantly attracting the attention of all the contestants present.
The contestant who spoke so arrogantly looked very strange at the moment. His expression was terrified, but his words were extremely arrogant.
"I will definitely get a place in the A-level of this competition. I will become famous today by stepping on these geniuses!"
Seeing the man speak again, all the contestants on the scene were shocked, and they had a vague guess.
"I forgot to remind you that some of these side effects will make you speak your true thoughts, while others will make you lose your yin and yang..."
Huang Ruyuan spoke lightly, and as soon as Huang Ruyuan said this, the 19 people who had not originally planned to look for an antidote instantly looked at these pills.
What a joke.
If I speak out my true thoughts, wouldn't that expose my secrets?
Telling the secrets in public is more painful than killing them.
A man suddenly shouted: "Master, I like you!"
Swish! All the contestants in the arena looked at the man instantly, and at the same time, the expression of a powerful female cultivator on the stage suddenly turned cold.
A relationship between a teacher and a student is unethical.
The man who roared now looked as pale as death.
When the other contestants saw this scene, they frantically began to look for the antidote, and the expressions of the strong men from various factions on the platform were also solemn.
"I thought the content of the Danta Association's assessment this time would be unusual, but I didn't expect the first round to be so... so... unique."
Considering that the content of the assessment was discussed by the elders of the Danta Society, and that each elder was a master-level alchemist, this powerful god-transforming expert finally used more euphemistic words.
They now only hope that their disciples can find an antidote, or that the side effects are not so alarming.
In the square, a contestant's face suddenly flushed, and he tore his clothes with his right hand. Fortunately, the man still had some rationality. At the last moment, he made a gesture, and spiritual power gathered around his body, blocking certain parts of his body.
The demons are dancing wildly.
Chu Ning couldn't bear to look at the scene in the square. These contestants were rushing to find the antidote, but hundreds of antidotes were not so easy to find. If they were really sure, they would not choose to sit still.
Fortunately, when half an hour was up, Huang Ruyuan waved his hand and a green light fell from the top of the square. The green light fell on the players present and calmed down the players who were suffering from side effects.
"The first round of pill testing is over, and the second round will be held in one day!"
Huang Ruyuan didn't dare to look at the resentful looks of these contestants. After leaving these words, he disappeared from the spot.
One day is given to these players to calm down.
The atmosphere in the whole square was very strange at the moment. Those who had chosen to do some indecent behaviors under the side effects of the poison pill were all dejected.
Who would have thought that by participating in a rookie competition, he would lose all his face.
"I am not afraid of being torn to pieces, I just want to keep my innocence in this world."
Chu Ning muttered softly, and Zhang Sheng beside him nodded in agreement: "Junior Brother Chu is right. If I were those people, I would rather not participate in this competition."
Although Zhang Sheng also took the poison pill and did not find the antidote, he was lucky because the effect of the poison pill was to make him fart.
Even though the fart was smelly and loud, making noise wherever he walked, he felt it was acceptable compared to those who were the worst off.
As for the seven who were directly judged to be the last, they had expressions of relief on their faces. It seemed that getting the last place was not a big deal.
The honor belongs to the sect, but the face is your own.
I'm afraid that those contestants will have to retreat for hundreds or even thousands of years after the competition is over.
While many contestants were adjusting their moods, Danta Club also gave out the scores for the first round.
Ranked first is Tong Shouxian.
"Tong Shouxian ranked first in the first class, worthy of being a popular seeded player."
"Lu Si ranked second in the first division, which is not a pity. This is only the first round."
…
As the first round of rankings was announced, the monks at the scene began to shift their attention and stopped discussing the shocking scene that had just occurred.
"Chu Ning ranked second in B grade. Wait... Why is Chu Ning ranked second in B grade? The side effects of the pill he chose ranked eleventh."
In addition to publishing the rankings, Danta also ranked all the poison pills according to the strength of their side effects.
The pill that Chu Ning took was ranked eleventh. According to this ranking, Chu Ning's result should be third in Class C.
"Danta gave the wrong ranking?"
"Don't talk nonsense. How could the elders of Danta give the wrong ranking? Since Chu Ning is ranked B, there must be a reason."
Seeing that some monks from outside the sect questioned the ranking given by the Danta Association, the alchemists in the Dan Domain immediately refuted it.
In Danyu, Danta will represent absolute authority.
The surrounding monks were discussing Chu Ning's ranking, and at this moment the strong men from various sects on the platform were also discussing it.
Unlike the monks watching below, these strong men received the explanation given by the Danta Society.
Chu Ning ranked second in Class B because he wrote down the medicinal ingredients of the pill, including the amount of each ingredient, exactly.
Secondly, the elixir that Chu Ning initially chose had the least side effects. The reason why he finally changed his choice of elixir, Danta concluded, was that Chu Ning did it on purpose.
These powerful men were shocked by the explanation given by Danta. Chu Ning was able to restore the recipe of the poison pill, which showed that Chu Ning's talent in identifying pills was extremely amazing.
In addition, Chu Ning chose the pill with the least side effects at the beginning, just like Tong Shouxian, which once again verified Chu Ning's talent in identifying pills.
As for the last four words of the Danta Society, "deliberately doing it", these sects instantly turned their attention to the Seven Fire Sect and Danshan Sect.
For these powerful gods, although their attention is focused on their own sect's disciples and those popular contestants, their spiritual awareness takes in the actions of all the contestants in the entire square.
As long as you think about it a little, you will roughly know what the situation is.
The Seven Fire Sect targeted another disciple of the Danshan Sect first, and Chu Ning then stood up for that disciple and beat the disciples of the Seven Fire Sect to the lowest level.
"Elder Qi, you have accepted a good disciple."
Qin Libang's eyes were shining, while Elder Zhao beside him said with regret: "If Chu Ning didn't help Zhang Sheng and insisted on the pill he chose at the beginning, wouldn't it be possible to defeat Tong Shouxian and become the first in Class A?"
“I think this is good. If I lose to Tong Shouxian, I will be directly ranked last. The current result is acceptable.” Elder Chen said with a smile.
"Of course you can accept it. You bought so many spirit crystals from Chu Ningyi and others."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Elder Zhao rolled his eyes. If Chu Ning really got the A grade, the sect would be happy but Old Chen would be the one crying.
"Old Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about? If Chu Ning gets the A grade, I will only be happy about it. As for a few spirit crystals, what are they compared to the interests of the sect?" Elder Chen said righteously.
Elder Zhao curled his lips, and Qi Shiyun spoke up at this time: "I wonder what Chu Ning's odds are now."
The odds of Sihai Trading Company's bets will change in real time based on the players' performance in the competition, but when compensation is paid, it will be based on the odds at the time of purchase.
"I'll go check it out."
Elder Chen disappeared from the platform and returned a quarter of an hour later.
"Si Hai Trading Company is really changing fast. Now Chu Ning's odds of winning the first-class prize are only 60%, which is slightly higher than the odds of Tong Shouxian and the other five people, ranking sixth."
Among the odds offered by Sihai Trading Company, only five people had odds lower than one, and Lu Sizhong's odds were only 20%, which meant that if he bought one hundred spirit crystals, he could only earn twenty spirit crystals.
"The guy from the Lu family still has the lowest odds, but Tong Shouxian's odds have become 25%, which is half a percentage point less than before."
Suxin Island.
Tang Ruowei looked at the ranking and a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Uncle Song, I told you Chu Ning would definitely get good results. He's ranked second in Class B in the first round, and he'll definitely be in Class A by the second round."
Tang Ruowei was very excited, and her attention was entirely on Chu Ning in the light curtain.
"If it wasn't for helping his senior brother to vent his anger, Chu Ning would have been the first in the A-class. But Chu Ning is just like that, he protects his shortcomings."
When Chu Ning gave up on the same pill as Tong Shouxian and walked towards Zhang Sheng, everyone else thought that Chu Ning didn't dare to compete with Tong Shouxian. But only she knew that Chu Ning was not afraid to compete with Tong, but just wanted to vent his anger for his fellow brother.
Being reasonable is for talking to strangers.
This is what Chu Ning once said to her.
The translated meaning is: If there is a dispute between two strangers, then try to reason with both parties.
If one of the parties is your relative or friend, then talk physics to the other party.
Song Shaolan smiled and didn't respond, but in her heart she was also shocked by Chu Ning's talent in alchemy.
Being able to get second place in Class B in the Dan Domain's newcomer competition is already a very good result. If the final result can maintain second place in Class B, then he would be a true genius.
…
Chengshan Region! When the results came out, the entire region erupted in warm cheers.
At this moment, there were very few cultivators in the entire Chengshan Region who were even in seclusion; all of them were staring at the light curtain in the sky.
The means of Sihai Trading Company are very powerful. Although the light curtain is on the sky, even Qi Condensation cultivators can see it clearly no matter where they are in Chengshan Domain.
"This is Senior Chu. He was ranked second in the first round, ranked first in the second round, and ranked first in the last round!"
"I've seen this competition. Senior Chu let the other contestants go in the first round, and then he went for the championship in the next two rounds."
The revelry of the cultivators in Chengshan Region did not reach Xuantian Mountain.
The entire Xuantian Mountain was the quietest place. From the sect master to the elders and the disciples below, everyone was silent.
Chu Ning was ranked second in Class B in the first round. As long as his performance in the next two rounds is not too bad, it is impossible for him to drop to Class D.
At this moment, most of the tens of millions of spirit stones have been wasted.
"My fellow elders, we have no choice but to give it a try. The odds that Sihai Trading Company has given Chu Ning for Grade C are six times higher. We will gather some spirit stones together. As long as Chu Ning ranks at the bottom of the last two rounds, we can win back all the losses in the previous rounds."
The leader of Xuantian Sect's face turned red, which was a typical gambler's mentality.
If you lose and want to get your money back, you can only choose to spend all your money to continue gambling.
All of Xuantian Sect's spirit stones have been used for gambling, but these elders and disciples still have spirit stones. If they sell some elixirs, spiritual tools and materials, they can get together 10 million.
The words of the Xuantian Sect's leader made the elders look at each other in bewilderment, but in the end they all responded.
We have already lost so much before. Now it’s nothing for everyone to take out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. If we don’t gamble, we will lose everything. If we gamble, we still have a chance to make our money back.
People who practice cultivation are the ones who refuse to accept their fate and will never admit defeat until the last moment.
…
…
The next day!
Sunny day!
Chu Ning, who had been resting cross-legged in the square for the night, looked at the old man who had landed in front of the square.
This time it was another old man who showed up, but judging from the badge on his clothes, he was another master alchemist.
"You don't need to take any pills this round."
The old man's words made the contestants present breathe a sigh of relief.
"This round is a written test, with a total of 100 questions, with a total score of 200 points, and the time limit is seven days."
One hundred questions? Chu Ning was a little surprised. According to his master, the written test for the newcomer competition in the past only had thirty questions. This time, there were so many more questions.
So has the difficulty increased? The old man raised his hand, and jade slips flew to everyone present. Chu Ning took the jade slips, put his consciousness into it, and looked directly at the last question.
When he was in school in his previous life, he liked to take a look at the last question first before every exam. If he was sure he couldn't do the last question, he would spend some time thinking about the previous questions.
"Depend on!"
After reading the last question, Chu Ning couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
Is Danta going to kill these players this time? PS: The last 200 votes, the last two hours, can you satisfy 3,000? (End of this chapter)
