Zhou Jizhou walked over to Su Jinyue and the other three and stopped, smiling and saying, "Can I sit down?"
"Whatever!" Zhan Yihan said.
Zhou Jizhou walked to an empty seat nearby and sat down. He smiled and extended his hand to Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue. "I'm Zhou Jizhou. You should already know me, right? I came here mainly to get to know you two. I wonder if I have the honor to meet you two."
"We are from the same school. We know who you are and you are not unfamiliar with us. There is no need to get to know us again." Zhan Yihan said indifferently.
Zhou Jizhou didn't care and withdrew his hand with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhan is right. Today, I saw Junior Brother Zhan fighting, and he almost defeated the enemy with one move. I wonder what Junior Brother Zhan's current cultivation level is?" He couldn't see Zhan Yihan's cultivation level, but he heard that he had reached the late stage of the Loose Immortal.
"Late stage of the Loose Immortal." A cold light flashed across Zhan Yihan's eyes.
"Junior Brother Zhan is truly amazingly talented and truly admirable." Zhou Jizhou said with a smile.
"You're too kind!" Zhan Yihan curled his lips slightly.
"Yihan, try this, it's so sweet." Su Jinyue picked up a fairy fruit and handed it to Zhan Yihan's lips.
Zhan Yihan smiled, opened his mouth, ate the fairy fruit, and nodded, "It's very sweet!"
Zhou Jizhou curled his lips slightly, with a hint of pride in the depths of his eyes, "Junior Brother Zhan and Junior Sister Su are so loving, it's really enviable."
"If Senior Brother Zhou is envious, then go find a companion. There are many senior and junior sisters in the sect." Su Jinyue looked at Zhou Jizhou with a smile.
"How could I be so lucky? I have something else to do and need to leave first. We'll chat again next time." Zhou Jizhou stood up, smiled and nodded to everyone, then turned and walked out of the cafeteria. His goal had been achieved, and now he just had to wait for the drugs to take effect.
When he just stretched out his hand, the numbing powder hidden in his hand had silently fallen on the dishes in front of Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue. Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan had just eaten the dishes.
The afternoon game continued again.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan watched for a while, then returned to the disciple courtyard. During the competition, as long as the disciples could compete on time when it was their turn, they could move freely at other times.
"Zhou Jizhou must have been used by someone, and he has been poisoned." Su Jinyue said.
"The person who used him is most likely Wang Jin," Zhan Yihan guessed. He had been using his spiritual sense to observe Zhou Jizhou's every move that afternoon and saw him make eye contact with Wang Jin.
Su Jinyue nodded in agreement. "Wang Jin is obviously a sinister villain, but he didn't realize that the Ma Su Powder would have no effect on us." When Zhou Jizhou approached them, she knew he had the Ma Su Powder on him, and she also knew that when Zhou Jizhou reached out, he took the opportunity to drop the Ma Su Powder on their food. She fed Yihan the fairy fruit to reassure Zhou Jizhou and Wang Jin behind him.
"I wonder what kind of expression Wang Jin will have when he knows the result." Zhan Yihan said with a curled lip.
Su Jinyue couldn't help laughing, "It will definitely be exciting, but the one who suffered the most is Zhou Jizhou. He put in so much effort, but in the end not only did he get nothing, he also lost his life." Of course, she would not tell Zhou Jizhou that all this was his own fault.
With the end of the preliminary rounds, the finals officially began on the morning of the fourth day. Nineteen disciples entered the finals, including Su Jinyue, Zhan Yihan, Wu Zheng, Ling Xiaoqiu, Zhou Jizhou, Guo Kang, Fan Zijie...
The order of the finals is still determined by drawing lots.
Su Jinyue drew sixth place, Ling Xiaoqiu twelfth, Wu Zheng thirteenth, and Zhan Yihan eighteenth.
The competition began. Zhou Jizhou, who had drawn the first place, walked onto the stage and had a decisive battle with his opponent. Although his opponent was strong, Zhou Jizhou had ranked first among the new disciples before, so it was easy for him to win the competition.
The rounds went very smoothly. Seeing Su Jinyue enter the arena, Zhou Jizhou smiled smugly. Now it was time to test the efficacy of the drug. Wang Jin said that if someone who had been poisoned by the Masui powder could tap into their inner spiritual power, the drug would take effect faster.
He glanced at Wang Jin in the audience and exchanged glances with him.
"Junior Sister Su, please give me some advice!" Zhou Jizhou smiled and bowed to Su Jinyue. He was overjoyed at the thought that Su Jinyue would soon be completely powerless and allow him to do whatever he wanted. He wondered what Su Jinyue's expression would be when she knew she had been poisoned by the Numbing Powder.
"Brother Zhou, please give me some advice!" Su Jinyue also smiled and bowed. The poison in Zhou Jizhou's body was flowing into his limbs and bones as he used his spiritual power. At most, the poison would take effect by the end of the game.
"Then let's get started." Zhou Jizhou smiled and took out his immortal sword. He couldn't wait to see Su Jinyue's expression after she knew she had been poisoned by the marrow-numbing powder.
"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded in response and drew her sword to face Zhou Jizhou.
The competition on the stage was about to begin, and the people below were watching it with great excitement.
"Brother Zhan, can Senior Sister Su defeat Zhou Jizhou?" Ling Xiaoqiu asked worriedly. Zhou Jizhou was in the late Sanxian stage, while Senior Sister Su was only in the middle stage. The gap between them was quite large.
"Okay." Zhan Yihan affirmed.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Su is not an ordinary person. She will definitely win." Wu Zheng said with a smile.
"Yeah." Ling Xiaoqiu nodded.
Zhou Jizhou was gradually losing his composure to Su Jinyue's attacks. What was going on? Wasn't the medicine supposed to take effect immediately as soon as the immortal energy within him was activated? Why wasn't it working yet? Was Wang Jin lying to him?
Su Jinyue raised her foot and kicked, Zhou Jizhou felt his body lighten, and then he flew out of the arena.
Seeing this result, everyone present except Zhan Yihan and a few others was stunned.
"Su Jinyue actually won, how is this possible?"
"Didn't they say that Senior Brother Zhou was the best among the new disciples? It seems he got the reputation in vain."
"This Su Jinyue is too powerful. Not only did she defeat Wang Jin, but even Senior Brother Zhou is no match for her."
"Isn't she a mid-level casual cultivator? She can actually surpass her level and defeat Senior Brother Zhou."
It was only when he landed that Zhou Jizhou realized that he had already lost.
He got up from the ground, glared at Su Jinyue on the stage, and walked towards Wang Jin. He wanted to find Wang Jin and ask why Su Jinyue's medicine hadn't taken effect.
Wang Jin was also perplexed. He was certain his Masui Powder was fine, and since Su Jinyue hadn't taken any effect, there were only two possibilities: one was that she had taken the antidote, and the other was that Zhou Jizhou hadn't given her the drug at all. He felt the second possibility was more likely, but why would Zhou Jizhou do this?
