"What does that person mean?" Wu Yue was so angry that she puffed up like a balloon, and turned around to look at Long Xi angrily. "Why did they send me everything but not me!"
Long Xi was also a little confused. It was normal for their two sects to be the last to be listed, since they were the last to be established. But he didn't expect that the other party would leave them out. So he guessed, "Maybe... something really has happened?"
Youyou also felt quite embarrassed. Qiu Yue had recognized her just now, which was why she had skipped over Wu Yue's. So she handed over the jade slip in her hand, "Why don't we look at it together?"
Wu Yue's anger subsided, and she nodded, saying, "Okay, let's watch together!" As she spoke, she dragged her chair over and leaned closer.
Feng Rong, who had been silent all along, suddenly frowned, snatched the jade slip from You You's hand, turned and threw it to Long Xi, and snorted coldly, "It's just a jade slip. You should have a blank jade slip, right? Just copy it with your divine sense. Why are you looking at it so closely?" Why are you getting so close? Don't think I don't know you're just trying to find an excuse to get close to my You You.
Wu Yue's face immediately darkened, and she glared resentfully at Feng Rong. So what if they're followers!
Long Xi glanced at his own Heavenly Maiden, then at Feng Rong, and finally sighed before making a copy of the jade slip in his hand.
Feng Rong then took the portion back and handed it to You You, reminding her, "They're about to go on stage."
Youyou turned her head and saw, sure enough, the girl with the water pipe walking towards one of the arenas. She immediately focused on watching. Her opponent was a male cultivator, who also appeared to be at the Golden Core stage.
Upon seeing Shuiyan enter the arena, the other party paused for a moment, a hint of pity rising in their eyes. "Fellow Daoist Fairy, please forgive me!" After saying this, they politely bowed before slowly summoning their magic sword.
Then... he was kicked down by the water pipe girl, without even drawing his sword.
Youyou: "..."
As expected of the sect's top combat power, he is indeed very efficient.
Youyou shook her head and looked down at the jade slip in her hand. This competition was an elimination tournament, with two people battling each other, and the winners advancing to the next round until the top ten were determined. On this list, apart from the water pipe girl who had started earlier, everyone else was in a later position. However, due to the large number of competition venues, it wouldn't be long before all the matches were completed, possibly even within the day.
Youyou was wondering who would be next on stage when she turned around and saw Feng Rong staring thoughtfully at the scene below, her brow furrowing occasionally.
"What's wrong?" she couldn't help but ask, rarely seeing him like this.
Feng Rong then came to her senses and casually said, "It's nothing, I just feel like I've seen this formation somewhere before, but I can't quite remember where."
"A formation?" You were taken aback. "You mean this competition venue?"
"Hmm." He nodded, then sighed in resignation, "Never mind." He then shifted his gaze, habitually reaching into his hands to pull out a series of small bags, and stuffed them all into her arms.
Youyou opened the small bag in her hand and saw that it was full of peanuts, melon seeds, popcorn and the like. She was stunned for a moment.
"You remember?!" She looked at him in surprise. Wasn't this something Little Flame often did?
"Remember what?" Feng Rong glanced at her inexplicably. "My companion space is filled with these things, aren't they yours?" His companion space, besides his own, could only contain her things.
"Uh...yes." Should I tell him that he saved these when he made the little flame? And that he cooked them himself?
But this is too much. Youyou glanced at the pile of bags in her arms, picked up one, and habitually wanted to share it with her teammates, "Ugh..."
"No need!" Just as she was about to hand a bag to Wu Yue, Feng Rong, quick as a flash, grabbed her hand and stopped her, saying reluctantly, "I have more here!"
After saying that, he quickly took out two bundles of something from the bag and handed one to each of Wu Yue and Long Xi.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two sweet potatoes, and they were overcooked, turning into black lumps.
Long Xi: "..."
Wu Yue: "..."
Should they say thank you?
Feng Rong clapped her hands in satisfaction and turned to urge, "If that's not enough, I have more!" Compared to the pile of intact finished products in You You's hands, there were even more burnt, charred, and ash-turned items in her space—enough to go around!
——————
The competition proceeded smoothly, and by just past noon, fewer than twenty disciples remained in each of the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core groups. Encouragingly, more than half of the dozen or so participants from the True Transformation Sect had already made it into the top twenty, and with the next round of competition, they had a very good chance of entering the top ten.
Shuiyan and Lin Feng are both in the Golden Core group, so You You isn't worried about them given their strength. The Foundation Establishment group has Liu Qing and Yin Fan, so there aren't any major issues either. The only concern is the Qi Refining group.
Over the years, the True Transformation Sect has recruited two batches of disciples. Those from Ning Hui's group have either already reached the Foundation Establishment stage or are still striving to break through, making them among the busiest disciples in the sect. Therefore, the Qi Refining stage disciples selected weren't the top talents, but rather those with time. Although excellent, they are all new disciples who haven't been in the sect for long and haven't had the opportunity to go out and train, lacking combat experience.
Making it into the top twenty is already quite an achievement, even if you only have one or two. It's fine if you encounter opponents of the same level, but if you face elite disciples from other sects, the outcome is uncertain.
Unfortunately, they were unlucky and actually encountered it.
"True Transformation Sect? I've never heard of this sect before. May I ask which fellow Daoist's sect it belongs to?" A celestial maiden in a green dress suddenly asked loudly from the stands.
