The disciple fell heavily to the ground, a large amount of bright red liquid spurted out of his mouth, and he fainted.
The surrounding disciples looked at the disciple on the ground, then looked at Zhou Jizhou on the stage with fear. Although the disciple was not dead, his injuries were serious and would definitely not heal for a while. This Senior Brother Zhou was indeed as ruthless as the legend said. They were sure that if it weren't for the rule against taking lives, the disciple would have been in great danger.
Zhou Jizhou raised his lips and smiled, looking at the next opponent who was walking onto the stage.
The disciple came to the stage and gave Zhou Jizhou a timid look. As soon as the elder announced the start of the competition, he shouted, "I surrender!"
Zhou Jizhou frowned and glared at the other party unhappily. However, the other party had already admitted defeat, so there was nothing he could do.
The disciple bowed to Zhou Jizhou, turned around, and quickly walked off the stage, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he admitted defeat quickly, otherwise he would definitely have ended up like the disciple before him.
"Look at Zhou Jizhou, his face is red with anger. He certainly didn't expect the other party to admit defeat so quickly." Ling Xiaoqiu couldn't help laughing.
"If he hadn't been so cruel and used such a heavy blow, that disciple would definitely not have admitted defeat so quickly." Wu Zheng analyzed.
"I heard Zhou Jizhou has excellent aptitude for cultivation. Before Senior Brother Zhan arrived, he was the top-ranked new disciple, but his character wasn't very good," Ling Xiaoqiu said. She had made thorough preparations for this competition, investigating several of the strongest new disciples, especially Zhou Jizhou.
"That's because he hasn't met Senior Brother Zhan yet. Once he does, he won't be so arrogant anymore." Wu Zheng said disdainfully. In his heart, Senior Brother Zhan was the best among the new disciples anyway.
"Yeah." Ling Xiaoqiu nodded in agreement.
Several disciples came on stage and admitted defeat directly, until the ninth disciple came on stage and started fighting with Zhou Jizhou. However, he was no match for Zhou Jizhou at all and was kicked off the stage by Zhou Jizhou in one move. The result was no different from the first disciple who fought against Zhou Jizhou.
Zhou Jizhou entered the finals without any surprise.
The competition on the stage continued.
Su Jinyue originally thought that it would not be her turn today, because several disciples who competed with Zhou Jizhou all admitted defeat directly, so it was her turn not long after lunch.
Su Jinyue walked onto the stage, facing off against a new disciple from the previous batch. Ling Xiaoqiu had just told her that her opponent's name was Fang Qi, a highly respected figure among the new disciples from the previous batch. His strength was only slightly inferior to Zhou Jizhou, but he was more tactful than Zhou Jizhou, so the new disciples from the previous batch all respected him.
"My name is Fang Qi. May I know what your name is, Junior Sister?" Fang Qi had a warm smile on his face, giving people the impression of a modest and gentle gentleman, but there was a cold glint hidden in his eyes.
"Su Jinyue." Su Jinyue said calmly. This Fang Qi was really good at disguising himself.
When Su Jinyue announced her name, the audience immediately started talking.
"She is Su Jinyue. I heard that she entered the inner sect because of her immortal partner."
"What's going on?"
"I know about this. I heard that Su Jinyue has mixed spiritual roots of many elements, and she barely passed the entrance exam to the outer sect. However, her immortal partner has pure spiritual roots of six elements. In order to keep her immortal partner, the sect reluctantly accepted her into the inner sect."
"With her talent, what good is it if she enters the inner sect? In the end, she can only be a disciple doing odd jobs."
"She's still embarrassing herself by going up there. She might as well just admit defeat and avoid being laughed at."
Fang Qi was stunned when he heard Su Jinyue's name, "So you are Su Jinyue, the immortal partner of Zhan Yihan." If he wants to win this competition, of course he has to understand his opponent.
He had heard that Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan had taken on a Level 2 mission shortly after joining the sect and had even completed it. However, it was clear that it was impossible for Su Jinyue to complete the mission with her qualifications. Zhan Yihan must have used some trickery to accomplish it. Zhan Yihan was only in the late Sanxian stage, so how could he possibly complete a Level 2 mission?
"Please give me your guidance!" Su Jinyue said with a curled lip. Fang Qi was probably the type of person she hated the most. Hypocritical on the surface, but scheming deeper than anyone else, a true villain. And she had already noticed that he was hiding his cultivation.
"Aren't you going to admit defeat?" Fang Qi was a little surprised to see Su Jinyue's calm expression.
"Why should you admit defeat?" Su Jinyue raised her lips.
"Aren't you afraid of getting hurt? There's no gender distinction on the stage. I'll give it my all." Fang Qikai said jokingly, scrutinizing Su Jinyue with a flicker of surprise. He hadn't expected Su Jinyue to be a mid-stage Sanxian. He had underestimated her.
He had originally wanted to investigate Su Jinyue, but when he heard she had mixed spiritual roots, he changed his mind. Even if someone with mixed spiritual roots tried their best, they wouldn't achieve anything. It seemed he had miscalculated, but it didn't matter. He didn't even take Zhan Yihan seriously, let alone Su Jinyue.
All the new disciples knew that Zhou Jizhou was the best among the new disciples, but in fact, he was the real best, but he had concealed his cultivation level. His true cultivation level was already at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal.
"I will also do my best." Su Jinyue curled her lips.
Fang Qi raised his eyebrows, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, "Junior Sister Su, please!"
"Brother Fang, please!" Su Jinyue raised his hand and drew out his sword, ready to fight.
Fang Qi curled his lips in mockery and summoned his own magical artifact, a mirror. Anyone facing him would be disoriented simply by looking at their own reflection, making victory a breeze. Originally, he hadn't wanted to use the mirror against Su Jinyue, but after all, she was Zhan Yihan's immortal companion. He decided to use Su Jinyue to intimidate Zhan Yihan.
Seeing that the two were ready, the elder announced loudly, "Begin!"
As the elder finished speaking, Su Jinyue and Fang Qi moved at the same time.
Fang Qi raised his hand and waved it, and the mirror in his hand immediately flew into the air. The mirror emitted a silvery-white light in the air, enveloping Su Jinyue. He now just had to wait for Su Jinyue to look up at the mirror.
Su Jinyue swung the long sword in her hand, and countless sword energies transformed into sword beams, quickly attacking Fang Qi. She was a weapon refiner, so how could she not know the effect of the mirror? This time, Fang Qi was destined to be disappointed.
Seeing countless sword beams coming towards him, Fang Qi was shocked. How could this be? How could the sword beams released by a mid-stage Sanxian be so sharp?
