Chapter 651: Butterfly Slave (18)
Afterwards, other people came to challenge Wen Wan to a fight. Wen Wan then adopted a self-destructive approach, portraying herself as a useless person who had nothing but spiritual roots. Any powerful disciple with a bit of backbone would not fight with her, who was considered useless. As for those without backbone, they were simply people who didn't like her, and Wen Wan would just slip away. She would never confront them head-on and would focus on developing her strength in a sneaky way.
The second trial soon arrived.
This is a direct PK, and Wen Wan is terrified. Shouldn't this be part of the third round? Isn't this usually how it is?
The result was not so.
The second match will be a head-to-head battle.
The game involves two players battling each other, accumulating points. Winning earns you one point, and losing deducts one point. You can't battle the same person twice at the same time; you must battle a different person each time. The official team system prevents strong players from battling the weakest, which would be unfair.
The top ten will become core disciples.
The others, however, became ordinary disciples.
The male protagonist is a core disciple, and he is the most core of all the core disciples. After all, his master is the sect leader, and he is the sect leader's personal disciple. How can he be the same as others?
If she wants to meet the male lead, she must become a core disciple, which means she must be among the top twenty.
This is... a bit difficult!
No, it's not just a little difficult, it's way too difficult.
Those who come to cultivate immortality, especially those who come to the Tianli Sect, are unlikely to be ordinary people unless they are truly gifted. They usually come from wealthy families, since cultivating immortality requires cultivation techniques, elixirs, teachers' guidance, and so on. Moreover, the more talented a person is, the more things they need, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This is an unavoidable fact.
Therefore, these people have all received a lot of investment in their upbringing, which is definitely much higher than the average person's starting point.
The division of cultivation levels.
The lowest level is the Foundation Establishment stage, which is generally considered the entry point for cultivating immortality. However, there are also those who haven't even entered the stage yet. Wen Wan has at least entered the stage, since she has a system, so entering the stage is still achievable.
Next comes the Spirit Realm stage.
Only when one reaches the Spirit King stage can one be considered to have a name in the cultivation world.
After the Spirit King stage comes the Heavenly Realm stage, then the Heavenly King stage. Reaching the Heavenly King stage is considered an expert. In the Heavenly Dawn Sect, the minimum standard for an elder is the Heavenly King stage.
After the Heavenly King stage comes the Martial God stage, which is the series of peak powerhouses, and they can even start their own sects.
Above the Martial God is the legendary Holy Lord. At the Holy Lord stage, one is the head of a sect, and this is a position that only the ancestors of a peerless sect like the Tianli Sect or some top-tier cultivation sects can achieve.
After the Holy Lord comes... the Immortal Venerable.
There has only been one immortal venerable in the past ten thousand years. After his fall, he was reincarnated as the male protagonist, and he was even divided into two parts: one representing good, Gu Liuyun of the Tianli Sect, and the other representing evil, the son of the Demon Lord of the Abyss of All Evil.
Wen Wan is currently in the late Foundation Establishment stage, which makes her a top expert among this group, since most of them are in the early or middle stages of Foundation Establishment.
However, geniuses like Chen Zihan directly entered the Spirit Realm stage. These are geniuses nurtured by their entire families with countless spiritual treasures, so naturally they are different from others.
Wen Wan only aims for the top twenty.
With her skills, it should be... possible.
Wen Wan's first opponent was a burly man with a full beard. He looked quite old, around thirty years old, which was right at the recruitment threshold. He was really something, being in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. You could say she had extremely bad luck.
"If you have any self-awareness, you'd better admit defeat quickly, because I won't show you any mercy."
Wen Yan: "..."
Soon the enemy attacked, and Wen Wan began to use her escape techniques.
"If you're so capable, don't run away, fight me head-on."
"Do you think I'm stupid? If you're so capable, then catch up with me."
Meanwhile, several other arenas also began their PK battles. Wen Wan ran for more than an hour, and when she was exhausted, she made a series of mistakes, and Wen Wan struck again with a single blow.
That's a really sneaky way to play.
After the battle, Wen Wan went to collect pills to restore her strength. These pills were free and could heal injuries and restore strength. After all, this kind of battle of attrition required her to be in good condition each time.
In the following matches, Wen Wan used this strategy, running for one or two hours each time. The audience got tired of watching, finding it too sleazy and lacking the fighting spirit of a cultivator, only knowing how to run away.
But for Wen Wan, as long as it's useful, that's enough.
One person even went on stage and immediately admitted defeat because he couldn't outrun the other and felt frustrated.
Wen Wan survived for more than ten rounds like this.
However, this method is not always effective. In this battle, Wen Wan finally encountered a master, Zhao Qitian, who possessed a Heavenly Grade Thunder Spirit Root and had entered the Spirit Realm.
From the very beginning, no matter where Wen Wan ran, they were able to block her retreat at the right time.
Wen Yan: "..."
"System, calculate for me, if I admit defeat, is there still a chance to make it into the top twenty?"
System: [Not recommended.]
"I give up," Wen Wan said, raising her hand.
system:【? ? ? 】
[Host, can't you be a little more shrewd? Just fight! You might not even lose.]
"Of course, the trump card should be used at the crucial moment."
The system was speechless.
After that, Wen Wan ran if she could outrun someone, and gave up if she couldn't. She calculated her moves and barely managed to stay in the middle.
The elders were speechless. A person with a Heavenly Spiritual Root should at least be considered a genius, so how could he be so useless?
It's time for the next round.
This time, Wen Wan felt confident in her abilities, so she ran wildly. The competition platform was just too small, otherwise Wen Wan could have flown to the heavens.
I ended up in twentieth place, just in time to advance.
Everyone was speechless. Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She had run countless times that day, and her legs were so weak that she almost threw up.
The top few were all geniuses with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, all of them at the Spirit Realm stage, and there was even one at the early Spirit Realm stage. What else could they be but geniuses? The ones behind them were all at the peak of Foundation Establishment or even the early Spirit Realm stage.
Wen Wanka is in twentieth place.
While I was pondering what to eat at the cafeteria after this was over, someone suddenly spoke up, "I'm not convinced."
Wen Wan looked over and saw that it was actually twenty-first place.
Wen Wan: "..." She had a bad feeling.
Elder Qi: "Do you have any opinions on the result of the competition?"
“Elder, I have no problem with the others. Everyone is trying their best to become a core disciple, but what makes her so special?” The other party pointed directly at Wen Wan.
"She's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and she's always running away. She's never had a fair fight. How can she become a core disciple? I'm not convinced. I want to fight her fair and square again!" After he finished speaking, many people shouted, all feeling indignant.
Wen Yan: "..."
Elder Qi looked at Wen Wan and said, "You can refuse. After all, you did not cheat, and this ranking was obtained through compliant means."
"I refuse."
The other party: "..." As expected.
Twenty-one people started insulting Wen Wan, basically using provocation, and the others echoed them, while Wen Wan pretended not to hear.
"The elder said I neither cheated nor broke the rules. You guys just weren't as lucky as me, hehe~"
System: [...] Host's mental age is at most three years old, this hatred is what you've attracted.
How shameless.
It's infuriating those people.
In the end, Wen Wan became one of the core disciples. However, Wen Wan felt that she was also looked down upon. Many people were ashamed of her, but she didn't care. She didn't think that being able to run away was shameful. After all, in critical moments, it's better to run fast than to fight fiercely.
