Chapter 89 Xiaobi's Secret
The two men clasped their fists to each other and the competition began.
The opponent's earth-based attack spells were coming in with great force, and Guan Yunchao naturally was not willing to be outdone.
After his water surge technique was blocked by the opponent several times, he released the freezing technique that he had used against Zhou Yanyun before.
His opponent seemed to be prepared, and a barrier was placed between the two of them.
This is the Earth Screen Technique, which has a higher defensive effect than the Earth Wall Technique, a primary earth-based spell.
The barrier that was hit by the freezing spell instantly turned into an ice wall, and the people around it also felt the chill instantly.
After the first attack missed, Guan Yunchao's ice arrows began to shoot at the opponent more and more densely.
Standing under the ring, Ji Qingling couldn't help but sigh at Guan Yunchao's rapid progress in recent years.
Back when he was in the Five Elements Realm, it only took a few water arrows to drain his spiritual power, and now look at him!
At this time, Guan Yunchao had already swung out an ice mirror in the air, which collided with the opponent's spell. In an instant, the fragments on the ring formed an ice mist, covering the two of them.
When the icy mist settled, Guan Yunchao stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, while his opponent's arms had both been pierced by icy arrows.
"Wow!"
Everything happened a little too quickly, causing cheers from the audience.
The man was unwilling to give up after being injured and wanted to fight again, but in the end his two injured arms forced him to give up.
Only after the opponent announced his surrender did the two ice arrows that were stuck in his arms disappear.
In this game, Guan Yunchao wins!
Zhou Yan's turn came soon, and Ji Qingling and the others naturally came to watch her match.
Her opponent was a senior brother who was well-known in the outer sect. In the end, Zhou Yan lost despite trying her best.
Just like that, after several rounds, only Guan Yunchao and Ji Qingling were able to continue the competition.
At the end of the next round, the ownership of the fifty Foundation Establishment Pills will be determined.
~ On the morning of the fourth round of competition, a female cultivator came to Xu Yuewan’s yard.
She knocked on Xu Yuewan's door.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Xu Yuewan was a little surprised to see her mother. Didn't she just return to Yunhai Peak a few days ago? The person who came was Xu Yuewan's mother, Changxiu Zhenren from Yunhai Peak of Taiyi Sect.
Master Chang Xiu walked into the room, "Of course I came to see you. Your competition today will determine whether you can get the reward."
"Oh, isn't it just a Foundation Building Pill?" Xu Yuewan didn't understand why her mother was so concerned about this. If it really wanted Foundation Building Pills, let alone fifty, at least a dozen would be easy for her parents to get.
Besides, Wanfa Building can be exchanged with contribution points, so she really doesn’t care much about this small competition reward.
Master Chang Xiu motioned her to sit down, "We don't care about the Foundation Building Pill, but you must get the top fifty in the small competition."
"Why?"
"Why? Your father and I let you use all the good resources. With your single spiritual root aptitude, you can't even get into the top 50 in the sect competition?"
Xu Yuewan was not very confident, as most of the people she compared herself with later were senior brothers and sisters who had achieved great perfection in Qi training.
Although she had a single spiritual root aptitude, she had fought extremely hard in the last match, but she didn't want to tell this to Master Changxiu.
Master Changxiu came here this time with something to say.
"Wan'er, do you know the purpose of the sect competition held every ten years?"
"Didn't they say that the sect elders and the real person wanted to select someone?"
Chang Xiu Zhenren nodded, "But the most important thing is not this. I just learned something yesterday."
"What's up?"
"Every ten years, the sect will select ten disciples from the fifty quotas to enter the sect's forbidden area."
"A sect's forbidden area?"
This matter was also heard by Master Changxiu yesterday. She herself was already over sixty years old when she established her foundation, which was not considered a good aptitude in the sect.
She had never won a place in the sect's competition, so naturally she didn't know.
The fifty disciples who win every ten years are not selected to enter the forbidden area based on their ranking. The elders will select ten people based on their spiritual root qualifications, cultivation talent speed, and performance on the arena.
After all, many people who have reached the great perfection of Qi training do not necessarily have excellent qualifications. For someone like Zhou Yanyun, who is nearly a hundred years old, no matter how well he performs in the arena, he will not have the opportunity to enter the forbidden area.
Disciples like Xu Yuewan, who are in the late stage of Qi training at a young age and perform well in the arena, are the ones that the elders really want to take as their personal disciples.
Of course, Xu Yuewan doesn’t even have to worry about the title of personal disciple, as she has already been designated as Taoist Master Long Xiu’s personal disciple.
It’s just about the quota to enter the forbidden area, Daojun will not interfere.
"Mom, what's in the forbidden area?"
Master Chang Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know. The person who told me this secret has never been inside. Those people are very tight-lipped about what's inside, so I can't find out."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She held onto Xu Yuewan's hand again, "You just need to know that those who have entered the forbidden area are now the elites of the sect. Even not every Yuanying elder has entered, but those who have entered will eventually become Yuanying or even Divine Transformation in the sect."
Xu Yuewan also realized the importance of the matter, "Mom?"
"Wan'er, I don't have a chance, but you can!"
Master Changxiu became excited when he thought that his daughter might be able to reach the state of spiritual transformation in the future.
When she first entered the inner sect, she was not qualified to become a direct disciple and become a disciple of Yuanying, so she accepted it.
Even the powerful Jindan Zhenren refused to accept her. In the Taiyi Sect, only those in the middle Jindan stage are qualified to accept disciples.
The other disciples who are unable to become disciples will be taught in turns by people arranged by the deacon halls of each main peak.
Although they are all inner disciples of Taiyi Sect, their situations are very different.
At that time, Qingqiu, who was less talented than her, had already become her disciple. This gap made Master Changxiu feel indignant.
It was not until later that she met a Taoist partner who was more talented than her and found various elixirs for her that she was able to break through to the Golden Elixir stage.
But it is almost impossible to successfully conceive a baby.
Xu Yuewan also knew what her mother was thinking, because based on her past experiences she always wanted to be able to show off once and surpass Qingqiu Zhenren of Yunhai Peak.
She could only promise to try her best.
~ Ji Qingling looked at Xu Yuewan opposite her and lamented that the outer gate was really small, and why she always ran into acquaintances.
Xu Yuewan looked at Ji Qingling opposite her and sighed that God was really helping her. She thought she would draw someone who had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining this time, but unexpectedly it was Ji Qingling who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Although Ji Qingling's performance in the first two games was good, it was not enough to attract her special attention.
Moreover, Ji Qingling got a bye in the third match. This was completely due to her luck. Unfortunately, her luck was about to end! She felt that she had already secured a spot in the top 50! "Senior Sister Xu." Ji Qingling took the initiative to greet her.
Xu Yuewan was equally polite, "Junior Sister Ji, let's begin."
At first, the fight between the two was restrained, but slowly the style began to change.
The green vines shooting towards Ji Qing became more and more fierce.
Ji Qingling's figure was equally agile and he dodged, waving his spiritual power to shuttle through the green vines.
The fellow students in the audience were watching with great excitement.
"This fourth round, everyone is really ruthless."
"Nonsense, if I take one step forward, I will get one of the fifty spots. I could be a direct disciple of the Yuanying elder. I'd be surprised if I didn't fight hard."
