?
His question left Ye Feng completely bewildered.
Your reaction is different from the script.
Shouldn't you cry and wail or righteously and solemnly refuse me, and then fight me to the death?
Then I'll give you a few more whacks, and you'll say some more harsh things. I'll give you a few more whacks before you finally give up obediently.
Why do you look so surprised and delighted?
"real……"
I abstain!
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Zhu Yunfang shouted out, and then a circle of light appeared out of thin air, and Zhu Yunfang disappeared into the circle of light.
He felt as if three crows had flown over his head.
Turning back, she asked Duan Shuiliu in shock, "What's going on? This isn't what you said! He seemed so happy, how could he be in such agony?"
Duan Shuiliu touched his forehead and said speechlessly, "He took his brother's place! He didn't have any points at all, so of course he could forfeit without any pressure!"
Ye Feng immediately realized what was going on!
Turning around, I found that Teng Fengyun had woken up again.
No, we can't let him go; he hasn't had enough of his boasting.
"I……"
Just as Teng Fengyun was about to shout, Ye Feng knocked him unconscious with a single blow.
The sight of the water stopping made me shudder.
I thought to myself, this guy is really petty, but it's actually quite satisfying to watch.
After all, people who like to talk big are hated. If it were me, I wouldn't mind giving him a few more whacks!
The chief disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect slowly awoke.
Ye Feng made the same choice.
Unexpectedly, that person not only forfeited the competition, but also brought along four of his fellow disciples!
In that case, their sect will get 0 points in the competition!
Ye Feng walked back with a suspicious look on his face.
Staring intently at the interrupted flow of water, he asked seriously, "I suspect you're lying to me!"
After a moment's thought, Duan Shuiliu shrugged and said, "What I'm telling you may not be a way to make them wish they were dead, but it's the most beneficial way for your Sword Sect."
After a moment of silence, Ye Feng decided to press the matter to the end.
"Why?"
Why could they abstain immediately?
Why is it that we fight so hard to keep what they can give up without any psychological burden?
Duan Shuiliu didn't answer his question, but instead asked in return, "Do you know how many secret realms our sects have?"
Ye Feng was taken aback; he hadn't really thought about that question.
My own Shushan Sword Sect is a near-first-class sect, yet it only has one secret realm. So, I suppose there aren't many first-class sects, right?
He asked uncertainly, "Three?"
Duan Shuiliu smiled and shook his head, saying, "30! My Duan Shui Sect has 30 large and small secret realms, Guiyi Sect has 29, Liuyun Sect has 27, Qingyun Temple has 34, Tengwang Pavilion has 26, and Wanhua Valley has a full 40. That's why they only watch the competition and don't participate. They simply don't care about it."
"Holy crap! So, we Sword Sect are the only poor ones?!"
"So now you know why they can abstain without any burden, right? Because it's nothing to them. Preserving their own disciples' lives is far more important than the three-year right to use that secret realm."
Ye Feng understood why they could abstain without any burden.
But what they couldn't understand even more was why such a wealthy sect would target their own Shushan Sword Sect.
Perhaps sensing his confusion, Duan Shuiliu said directly, "Are you curious as to why we are targeting your Shushan Sword Sect?"
Ye Feng nodded.
"I only recently learned about this myself. The fundamental reason is that the Dao pursued by your Shushan Sword Sect is the Dao of Acquired Nature."
Our sects pursue the innate Dao, which is the struggle for the Dao lineage!
Your Sword Sect disciples are unparalleled in their offensive capabilities among those of the same realm, which seems to convey the message that the acquired path can rival or even surpass the innate path!
This is a fundamental issue that undermines people's foundation. If it's not targeting you, who else is it targeting?
If bloodshed can occur in the mortal realm due to sectarian disputes, it is naturally even more so in the cultivation world.
Moreover, the natal flying sword produced in your Sword Sect's secret realm is unique in the cultivation world. You must understand the allure of divine weapons for cultivators like us.”
Ye Feng felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, or as if he had been enlightened.
He had heard similar things from Shenqing Zhenjun.
However, it lacked the intuitive understanding gained from hearing from the opponent.
Only now did he have a full understanding of his own identity.
This is not Earth, nor is it the land of the Yellow Emperor.
I'm no longer the food blogger who can do whatever I want.
He is not only a member of the cultivation world, but also a junior uncle of a sect.
To draw an analogy...
Living here is like living in the Middle East.
Without the strength to protect themselves, and without a powerful sect, they will only be devoured by others until nothing is left.
Even if, in comparison, they are billionaires while you are just a beggar.
The tycoon didn't hit you today simply because he was in a good mood.
When he's in a bad mood, he'll try every means to kill you.
Perhaps it's just because he took a liking to the newspaper you used as a blanket.
Duan Shuiliu looked at the person from the Shushan Sword Sect in front of him.
It felt like he had become a completely different person ever since he sighed.
He originally seemed somewhat lazy and cynical.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly became full of fighting spirit.
These are not secrets in the cultivation world at all. I'm just saying this casually, how could it possibly be a wake-up call?
Ye Feng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture but said nothing more.
Duan Shuiliu didn't ask any more questions and instructed his junior brothers to diligently treat Jue Ming, Qing You, and Zhao Xing.
After all, the other party kept their word, and we couldn't let them down on our side.
...
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The remaining sects also stumbled their way to the final battle.
The several second-tier sects are allies and there is no infighting among them.
However, two sects were unlucky enough to encounter a horde of monsters and were eliminated.
The Wuji Sect and Tianchi Sect were unlucky enough to run into the Qingyun Temple and were eliminated.
In the end, only three second-tier sects remained: Qingyun Temple, Duanshui Sect, and Shushan Sword Sect.
Oh, and there's also Teng Fengyun of Tengwang Pavilion, who already has a long string of bumps on his head.
Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?
After all, with the same points, the later you are teleported out, the higher your ranking.
But that was it. After waking up again without being hit, Teng Fengyun decisively said, "I abstain."
The final battle is much easier.
Yan Zichu did not want to fight Ye Feng.
Although he was slightly stronger than the disciples of other sects and his strength was almost at the high level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he had no way to counter that strange weapon.
In this way, he was willing to give up first place to the Shushan Sword Sect.
Duan Shuiliu and the others had expended considerable energy healing Jueming and the other two, so naturally they wouldn't object.
Then, after Ye Feng and the people from the two sects joined forces to force the people from the three second-tier sects to forfeit, the top three were officially determined.
This marks the first time in the history of the sect competition that the Shushan Sword Sect has joined forces with other sects.
With the members of Duanshui Sect and Qingyun Temple announcing their withdrawal, the sect competition officially came to an end.
The system notification was also released immediately.
[Mission Completed - Rewards Issued]
[Host has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, talent unlocked by 20%]
[Access to all 1-star rated dishes is now available]
High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. Ingredients cultivated through the Spirit Infusion Technique can effectively improve a dish's rating, up to a maximum of 4 stars.
Damn it!
If I had known that advancing would unlock talents, why would I have waited until the mess was already at the sect competition before I even thought of digging a toilet?
What a terrible system!
