Nan Qu chuckled and then made a gesture of international contempt towards Han Ke.
Unfortunately, no one here understands what it means.
Although the people on stage didn't think that a mere Qi Refining Stage 5 cultivator could cause any trouble, since Han Ke had said so, they would eliminate her for now, and Xuan Yi couldn't blame them.
They simply believed what Hank said.
So, what was originally a competition where big fish eat small fish turned into a scene where a group of people besieged Nanqu.
Seeing this, Nan Qu immediately put on a pitiful look. She seemed to be frightened by everyone, and curled up and backed away.
Her eyes were slightly red. Looking at everyone, she said in a trembling voice, her voice trembling with fear, "You, you guys, don't, don't come any closer. If you come any closer, I'll jump, I'll jump down, and I won't let you get my kill points."
This sentence immediately made everyone on the field realize that, yes, even though this little grasshopper is small, it still counts as a head.
Keep in mind that being eliminated deducts one point, but eliminating someone earns you ten points. If that person also has points from other people's eliminations, those points can be added to your score.
This wasn't a main attack; it was the final blow.
Putting everything else aside, just getting these ten points means that even if you get eliminated, your score will still be higher than most people's.
Hitting such a small grasshopper is like losing points, isn't it?
Therefore, in their excitement, everyone rushed towards Nanqu.
In that instant, Nan Qu vanished from her spot and reappeared behind the group.
Before the people in front could even react to what was happening, they were all thrown in at once, like dumplings being put into a pot.
With a loud "whoosh!", everyone present was stunned.
What just happened?
"No, I don't know. How did all these people suddenly drop so low? How can we even tell their scores now?"
"Do we even need to divide them? They're all second to last."
The referee supervisor standing nearby turned ashen-faced at the sight.
These simpletons, if you asked them to use their brains a little, they'd all be wielding that broken sword. Now look at them, completely fooled by a seven-year-old.
"The first round of the 100-person competition has ended, and Dongfang Shuanglan has won. The rest are eliminated!"
Those watching from afar clearly hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and the other peak masters who had just been laughing at the Heavenly Sword Peak Master all turned pale.
Only the elders in public office could still smile.
Unlike the Xuanjian Sect's own forces, Baicao, who was watching from the sidelines, noticed something different.
He was initially incredulous, but then he laughed.
It's a real shame that this young girl isn't my apprentice.
Besides Baicao, the elders of the Judicial Office also noticed something different.
Compared to Baicao, an outsider, he had more right to call someone forward to ask questions.
In particular, this little girl might be his grand-disciple.
"Dongfang Shuanglan, come to the front. I have a few questions for you."
Looking at the people sitting so far away, Nan Qu knew that they were watching the game with their divine sense. When she was on stage, she also felt several people scanning her direction.
Others can use their divine sense, but she can't.
So, I ran over excitedly, but still felt looked down upon, so I ran a little further.
"Dongfang Shuanglan, an outer disciple of the Spirit Beast Peak, greets the Sect Master, all the elders, and the peak masters of each peak."
Seeing the ashen faces of those people, Nan Qu knew she had offended them. Just as she was thinking about how to escape, she heard one of the middle-aged men, who looked to be around forty years old and had a similar ashen face to Xuan Tong, say:
"What did you use when you retreated behind the person?"
Nan Qu knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she touched her nose and said, "It's nothing, just ordinary muscle-relaxing powder. Don't worry, the dosage is very small, only enough for a cultivator to last a few breaths. I'm not breaking any rules, am I? Nobody said I couldn't use it, right?"
The head of the judicial department said expressionlessly, "It's not against the rules. But using it again in the future would be a violation."
Nan Qu felt it was unfair: "Why? The disciples of the Alchemy Peak can compete to swallow half a pill. The disciples of the Talisman Peak can use spirit talismans, and the disciples of the Array Peak can use arrays for protection. The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Peak are unmatched in swordsmanship. I only used a little bit of sleeping potion."
"The inner sect competition is meant to test the disciples' cultivation level. What you just mentioned, no matter what it is, is all part of cultivation. Drugs are tricks that only petty villains in the martial arts world would use. Using them on fellow disciples is really going too far."
Nan Qu wanted to say something more, but Xuan Yi interrupted her: "If you understand, then you may leave."
Nan Qu pursed his lips: "Yes, disciple takes his leave."
When the peak masters present heard Nan Qu say that she had used a muscle-softening powder, they all said that Nan Qu's victory was unfair and demanded a rematch, but they were coldly interrupted by the elder of the judicial department:
"Although using this technique on fellow disciples is indeed a bit excessive, your disciples are all arrogant and conceited. They dare to make moves without knowing the strength of others, which is a major taboo."
Furthermore, this also serves as a lesson for everyone. If such a disciple were released, without the reputation of the Xuanjian Sect, he would have died hundreds of times over.
We're not always so free to go and support these people every day.
In an instant, the entire audience fell silent.
The match ended just like that, in a rather muddled way. There were still ten matches to go, but none of them mattered to Nan Qu anymore. She left the martial arts arena with light steps.
On her way back, Nan Qu was still thinking about what to eat for lunch when she suddenly felt a murderous intent coming toward her. Almost instinctively, she dodged the flying sword that was flying toward her arm.
The next second, Han Ke came out.
Nan Qu sneered, "How despicable, to launch a sneak attack."
Han Ke retorted angrily, "What right do you have to talk about others? You're the one who's just a stinking rat who only knows how to sneak up!"
Nan Qu laughed: "In the arena, everyone is your opponent. It's your own fault for not being prepared. Who can you blame?"
Han Ke was even angrier: "I'd like to see how you try to be unreasonable later!"
As he spoke, Han Ke flicked his finger, and the sword that had flown out returned to his hand.
She could tell that Han Ke truly hated her, so she didn't hold back at all and directly used her peak Foundation Establishment cultivation to stab at Nan Qu.
Han Ke also knew that if he made too much noise, it would attract attention, and if he made a mess of the surroundings, it would be easy for the judicial department to see that the spiritual energy came from him.
However, as long as he uses his sword energy on this damned girl, he only needs to dispose of the corpse without anyone noticing.
Clearly, he never believed that the Qi Refining stage cultivator in front of him could dodge his sword strike.
