Helian Fei clearly didn't expect that after the Nanqu competition ended, she wouldn't have any spiritual energy depletion at all, and instead would still have the mind to tease her.
She gave Nan Qu a deep look, knowing that she had used all her strength this time. She was indeed no match for this person.
Although she felt that her spiritual power was very strange, judging from the basics of swordsmanship alone, she was inferior to this little girl.
Although she was very unwilling, she was convinced of her own superiority.
"You're very good, but I won't lose next time."
Nanqu waved her hand, as if we were old friends: "Oh dear, it's not good for young girls like us to be fighting all the time. Let's go shopping together sometime. I know a shop that has really good stuff."
Finally, the head referee, unable to bear it any longer, announced: "Those whose matches are over, please leave the arena quietly!"
Nan Qu then greeted Helian Fei with an expression of remorse for doing something wrong, and slipped out of the competition area.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, Nan Qu had already disappeared.
Everyone then realized that they had forgotten to question the competition, allowing her to pass so easily.
How can this person be so cunning?
Hmph, let's see how she tries to get away with it in the next match! She was just lucky this time, drawing the weakest one out of fifty. She's doomed to lose the rest of the matches!
Soon, the results for the other competition venues were also announced.
Next, the second round of selection will take place.
Unlike last time, this time the decision was made by drawing lots. Looking at the brand-new wooden sticks, everyone suspected they must have been made anew.
"Each number has two bamboo sticks. Those who draw the same number form a pair. One of them gets a bye. The old rule applies to those who get a bye; they advance directly."
In the world of cultivation, luck is also a form of strength, and sometimes it's just that unfair. Hard-working individuals can't compete with talented ones, and talented individuals can't compete with those who are lucky.
Therefore, accepting one's fate is also a way of facing one's own challenges.
"We'll draw lots one by one according to our ranking."
Because Helian Fei's ranking was relatively low, even though Nan Qu was the first to win the game, her score dropped from tenth to fifteenth.
In a line of people who are 1.67 or 1.78 meters tall, there's a tiny kid who's only 1.3 meters tall—it just doesn't look right. Even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder would say they can't stand the sight.
Nan Qu, however, appeared completely at ease. Among the many people whose cultivation levels were far higher than hers, she was the most relaxed.
Nan Qu was naturally relaxed; she didn't care about rankings like they did. In competitions, mindset is always crucial.
Soon, it was Nan Qu's turn to draw lots. Whether the referee supervisor did it on purpose or not, the lot-drawing bucket was placed directly above her head.
Nan Qu didn't argue with him, randomly drew a card and prepared to leave.
Then, just as she was about to leave after drawing her number, she noticed that the other end of the signature seemed to be blocked by something, preventing her from drawing again. Nan Qu couldn't help but turn around and saw the head referee reluctantly letting go of her hand.
Nan Qu glanced at the bamboo stick she had drawn and then laughed.
Wow, that's what you call a lucky player!
The draw was over quickly. When the head referee announced that Nanqu had a bye, the audience erupted in chaos.
This time, it's a competition to advance to the top ten.
In other words, Nanqu is already a definite tenth disciple.
Even if she ranks tenth, she won't lose that title for at least two years.
How can this not make people angry? And how can anyone be satisfied with this?
However, no matter how unwilling everyone is, they can only accept the rules.
So, while others were putting in a lot of effort in the competition, Nan Qu simply left.
What's most infuriating is that the next day, in the ranking competition for the top ten disciples, Nan Qu actually chose to forfeit.
In an instant, all the disciples' pent-up anger erupted.
Nan Qu had angered many, especially since not only his disciples were furious, but even the peak masters of the other peaks watching the competition were also seething with anger.
The one with the most free time is the librarian, who accompanies guests from other sects who come to visit.
They even couldn't help but laugh when they heard about Nanqu's journey to the competition.
Because Nanqu angered too many people, she had to return to the competition.
Of course, the main reason for her return to the competition was that her cheap mentor gave her too much money.
Although Nan Qu doesn't have any particular standards regarding wealth in this world, Xuan Yi said that as long as she continues the competition, regardless of the outcome, the first-place gift originally prepared for her will still be given to her.
What else is there to say about this Southern tune?
There are a total of eight contestants in this competition. In addition to the seven who advanced yesterday, there is also Nan Qu, who received a bye.
As for the ninth and tenth of the ten disciples, they were the two with the highest scores in yesterday's elimination round.
In other words, they are wrong. Even if Nan Qu didn't compete, she would still be eighth, not tenth.
She felt the name was very auspicious and suited her well.
The final rankings are not based on points; the top four advance first, then the second, and finally the first. After that, the remaining teams are ranked based on their results.
Just thinking about it makes Nanqu feel tired.
So, after drawing the opponent's name, at the start of the match, Nan Qu feinted and then pretended to be careless, preparing to take the opponent's move head-on and then use the force to bounce off the fighting field.
Unfortunately, her idea was discovered by the referee supervisor.
The other party intervened directly, then looked coldly at Nan Qu: "Not taking the competition seriously will result in a zero score!"
Nan Qu now knows what a score of zero means. It means she will not only have to do a lot of work, but also receive the lowest monthly reward from the sect. It also means she will become a servant.
Although she is not competitive, she doesn't want to be looked down upon by everyone.
"Sorry, I can't accept a zero, so I have to take it seriously."
After saying that, Nan Qu couldn't help but shudder. Is this world toxic? Why does she always blurt out such cringeworthy words when she comes here?
"Xiao Kong, am I being influenced?"
However, Nan Qu did not hear Xiao Kong's reply.
Nan Qu then realized something was wrong.
She was certain that she had been affected.
This place is too creepy. Nan Qu thought to herself, she might as well just go for a yo-yo. She'll never come to this terrifying place again.
However, just as Nan Qu was thinking this, she saw a bolt of lightning strike her feet.
Nan Qu looked up at her opponent: "You attacked me from behind?"
To everyone's surprise, the other person rolled their eyes and said, "What did you do that made God dislike you so much that He's sent you to be struck by lightning as a warning?"
Nan Qu sighed: "Who knows? Maybe I'm just outrageously beautiful?"
Just then, thunder suddenly roared in the sky, clearly a warning to her.
Nan Qu rolled her eyes. "If you're so capable, come down here. What kind of hero are you, spying from there?"
