Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walked into the crowd and stood beside Zhou Zishuang and Luo Qianao. Seeing the two nod and greet them, they smiled and nodded back. They naturally heard the crowd's discussions, but they certainly didn't care about it. They only cared about whether they could enter Lingquan Valley.
Gu Potian walked up to the crowd and swept his gaze over them with authority. "Spirit Spring Valley opens once every three years, and there are only twenty spots available each time. I hope everyone will do their best to strive for it."
"Yes!" All the disciples responded in unison, with everyone's eyes flashing with eagerness to try.
Gu Potian nodded slightly and waved to everyone, "Let's go!" Although Lingquan Valley opens once every three years, the disciples compete every quarter, so there is no need for him to give a long speech.
"Yes!" The disciples marched towards the main peak in a mighty procession.
After all the disciples from each peak arrived, Sect Leader Luo Qianbai said a few symbolic words and then announced the official start of the competition.
The quota selection competition is conducted in the form of a group match. Each group consists of 100 people. Only one person advances at a time, and the others are eliminated directly.
After the elders of the Formation Peak finished setting up the formation, Su Jinyue and the other ninety-nine disciples entered the formation. This was a fifth-level psychedelic formation. If one was distracted for a moment, they would immediately get lost in the formation and would not wake up until the formation was removed.
Entering the formation, Su Jinyue quickly found the correct way out and headed towards the exit without hesitation. These disciples were all veterans, having participated in this kind of competition more than once or twice before. They were more experienced than her, so she had to hurry. This time, she wasn't assigned to the same group as Yi Han, Luo Qianao, or Zhou Zishuang, so there was no need to worry about who would advance to the finals between her and Yi Han.
Just as she was about to step out of the formation, Su Jinyue felt a strong wind coming from behind her. She quickly dodged and threw the formation flag at the same time. The competition at the Formation Peak was different from that at other peaks. It was all about the formation.
The formation for the competition is set by the elders, but once inside, the disciples are free to play their part. Disciples can change the formation at will as long as they have the ability.
Lei Chenxu hadn't expected Su Jinyue's reaction to be so quick. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he threw out several formation flags. He also knew a little about Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. They were indeed rare formation geniuses, otherwise the Peak Master wouldn't have made an exception and accepted them as his personal disciples.
Seeing Su Jinyue and Lei Chenxu fighting in the formation, Gu Potian raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest in his eyes. Su Jinyue was a genius in formations, and Lei Chenxu's achievements in formations were also not low, and he was among the best among all the disciples of Formation Peak. It would definitely not be easy for Su Jinyue to defeat Lei Chenxu.
In the formation, Su Jinyue and Lei Chenxu kept throwing out formation flags. As the two threw out the formation flags, the other disciples in the formation complained. Many disciples had already lost themselves in the formation. Even those who were not lost were already in danger under the repeated attacks of the two formations.
Luo Qianao retracted his gaze and turned to look at Zhan Yihan. He saw that his expression was normal, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Junior Brother Zhan, aren't you worried about Junior Sister Su?" He looked a little worried about Junior Sister Su. Although Lei Chenxu was not a direct disciple, his formation skills were not inferior to his and Junior Sister Zhou's. This competition was an elimination round. If they lost in the first group stage, they would have to wait until three years later.
"Don't worry." Zhan Yihan's gaze remained fixed on Su Jinyue, who was battling Lei Chenxu. He had already made up his mind; if Jinyue didn't make it to the finals, he would forgo this opportunity. Their training in the Golden Leaf Realm would be the same.
Lei Chenxu threw out a few more formation flags. Seeing Su Jinyue trapped by his formation, a confident smile appeared on his lips. He knew he would win. Although Su Jinyue was also talented in formations, she was still young. Moreover, he had been a sixth-level immortal formation master for hundreds of years. How could he not be defeated by a disciple who had only ascended to the immortal realm for a few years? Then he would never stay in the inner sect again.
Luo Qianbai put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look at Gu Potian, "Who do you think will win?"
"Lei Chenxu has a better chance." Gu Potian looked at the two men battling in the formation. He certainly hoped Su Jinyue would win, but Su Jinyue's experience certainly wasn't as rich as Lei Chenxu's. Lei Chenxu had been a sixth-level immortal formation master for hundreds of years, and his understanding of sixth-level formations was undoubtedly deeper than Su Jinyue's. He somewhat regretted placing Su Jinyue in Lei Chenxu's group.
At this moment, several flags from the formation that trapped Su Jinyue flew out as fast as arrows and landed beside Lei Chenxu.
Before everyone had time to be surprised, they saw the flags forming a complex trap, trapping the stunned Lei Chenxu inside.
"No way!" Everyone looked surprised when they saw this scene.
However, the surprise only lasted for a moment. Most people present felt that Su Jinyue could not trap Lei Chenxu. Lei Chenxu was just careless for a moment and it would not take long for him to break free from the formation.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lei Chenxu was still trapped in the formation and couldn't get out.
Su Jinyue curled her lips slightly and walked out of the formation.
"Su Jinyue's talent in formations is truly remarkable," Luo Qianbai laughed heartily, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Su Jinyue. He was now eagerly anticipating her next performance.
"Yeah." Gu Potian smiled and nodded. Su Jinyue's talent in formations was indeed far beyond his expectations.
As Su Jinyue walked out of the formation, the first game ended.
When Lei Chenxu saw the formation that had trapped him disappear, he knew he had missed out on the twenty spots to enter Lingquan Valley. He gritted his teeth and glared at Su Jinyue unwillingly. He had never expected to be defeated by a new disciple who had only been a student for a short time. How could he survive in the inner sect in the future?
Su Jinyue walked to Zhan Yihan's side.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhan Yihan smiled slightly and reached out to hold Su Jinyue's hand. His turn would not come until the third game.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister Su!" Luo Qianao and Zhou Zishuang congratulated. They were somewhat surprised that Su Jinyue had emerged victorious from the first match.
"It's Senior Brother Luo's turn this time, right?" Su Jinyue looked at Luo Qianao and asked.
Luo Qianao smiled and nodded, "I'm in the second game, and Junior Sister Zhou is in the seventh game. I'll go up first, wait for my good news." He was extremely confident in his formation level.
