Chapter 148 Competition for Spots



Jiang Wuyuan and Zhuge Wangran walked forward with the flow of people.

Zhuang Yaoqing was not in high spirits.

For him, relying on luck might be worth a try, but when it comes to skill...

Hehe, who knows better than who knows, a grand martial arts master who can't even fly for a short time.

As for Xunwu, one reason is that his cultivation level is so high that the Heavenly Pool no longer has much effect on him.

On the other hand, you can better watch someone's performance from below.

Xunwu raised her head slightly, her eyes revealing anticipation.

Jun Ruyu glanced at the crowd below and transmitted her voice to her junior brother beside her: "There are a total of 537 challengers. They will be divided into eleven groups of fifty people each, with the remaining thirty-seven people forming a separate group."

"Yes, Senior Brother Jun." The junior brother immediately went to make the arrangements.

Xuanzhong Iron is extremely rare; being able to produce a kite made from fifty pieces of Xuanzhong Iron at once is already the limit.

In other words, the Wuxiang Sect's style of doing things is flashy, unpredictable, and diverse. Otherwise, it is estimated that no other sect would be willing to turn such a precious treasure as Xuanzhong Iron into a useless kite just to make people laugh in the competition.

You could even say they're incredibly wealthy.

However, those familiar with the Wuxiang Sect know that it is a group of cultivators who do whatever they want.

It's not surprising that they do anything.

Soon, the junior brother arrived at the center of the square with fifty kites.

The kites were much larger than ordinary toys for mortals. It took five disciples of the Wuxiang Sect to carry each kite, and it was only less than a meter off the ground.

The higher you go, the greater the resistance.

Jun Ruyu and the others descended from the sky and stood opposite the cultivators participating in the competition.

"Fellow Daoists, please register your names first."

A group of people then rushed over to register next to that junior brother.

Jun Ruyu watched with a smile, her gaze pausing for a second as she passed Zhuge Wangran.

He seems to be from the Tianji Sect, but his demeanor doesn't quite match.

Most of the disciples of the Tianji Sect who travel outside are quite dull, but this one seems much more clever.

As for Jiang Wuyuan, he completely ignored him.

After all, wearing half a mask is like having a real-life signal jammer, and the effect is truly remarkable.

"Please have the first fifty participants come forward." Jun Ruyu quickly received a list.

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

These are very common skills and spells; Jiang Wuyuan is no longer surprised by them.

He wasn't among the first group, nor was Zhuge Wangran, which made it easier for them to observe the situation first.

Fifty young cultivators, each with a different style of dress and demeanor, stepped forward.

Some of them are dressed elegantly and have a refined demeanor.

Some of them looked more like independent practitioners, wearing ordinary robes, but with resolute and composed expressions.

There were also quite a few women, who appeared to be highly skilled and had various demeanors.

"Round 1 begins."

boom--

A muscular man rushed toward the kite the instant he finished speaking.

He held one wing of the kite in one hand, as if trying to pull it up from the ground.

However, after exerting force suddenly, they found that the kite did not move at all.

"Hahaha!" The onlookers commented and laughed uncontrollably.

However, a woman wearing a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) was particularly eye-catching.

She appeared elegant and graceful, with a calm and gentle expression, her gaze quietly fixed on the kite that she had simultaneously lifted into the air using her vital energy and divine soul.

The fifty kites were all different, but the woman was lucky enough to be assigned a kite with a phoenix pattern.

Not only is the carving lifelike, but even its tail feathers are made naturally and gracefully, making it quite beautiful.

At this moment, it was flying about ten feet above the ground, its tail feathers fluttering in the wind, as if a celestial phoenix had descended.

Jun Ruyu watched quietly, her expression unchanged.

If that's all there is to it, then that's all there is to it.

However, he has already taken the lead among this group.

Looking at the other dozens of people who couldn't even lift a kite, Jun Ruyu shook her head inwardly.

"Look, her kite has risen even higher; it's almost thirty feet high now," one onlooker commented.

"Extraordinary, extraordinary! Phoenixes soaring together, a rare sight indeed."

After rising to a height of thirty-five zhang, the shape of the kite changed slightly.

A blazing red flame soared into the sky, accompanied by a clear phoenix cry, and before everyone's eyes, it unfurled its wings.

The brightly colored phoenix feathers exude nobility.

The magnificent flames were like a grand fireworks display, dazzling even in the daytime.

"This, this is!"

"It's so beautiful!"

Seeing the amazed looks on everyone's faces, Jun Ruyu smiled and explained, "It's just some clever touches added during the casting process, to make it more beautiful, and also related to the height of the kite."

The taller it is, the better it looks.

Thirty-five zhang is enough to live up to the name of a genius.

However, once the phoenix spreads its wings, the supporting force required becomes even greater.

The woman lost her composure, and the kite in mid-air crashed straight down.

In the midst of the chaos, Jun Ruyu's powerful divine soul erupted instantly, managing to stop the kite in mid-air before it slowly descended.

Then he raised his hand, but instead of comforting the pale-faced woman, he gave her a "below average" rating.

It's barely acceptable.

Several more rounds of competition followed, with people successfully lifting the object in almost every round, but not many.

Even though later generations continued to summarize the experiences of their predecessors, after half the competition, only three people were able to lift more than thirty-five zhang (approximately 15 meters).

Looking at the few Grade B ratings in her hand, Jun Ruyu could barely maintain her fake smile.

Does he expect him to pick someone from a bunch of 'Ding's'?

That really puts him in a difficult position.

Jiang Wuyuan took the stage in the eighth group, along with Zhuge Wangran.

They registered one after the other, so the order was naturally next to each other.

Jiang Wuyuan carefully examined the kite in front of him.

It turned out to be a dragon.

The dragon was coiled up with its eyes closed, showing no sign of life.

Jiang Wuyuan had never seen this kite take off in previous competitions, probably because those who encountered it were not skilled enough to lift it up.

but..........

For the people of the Dragon Kingdom, dragons are usually regarded as guardian deities.

Perhaps it comes from ancient legends, or perhaps dragons are truly mythical creatures.

I admire and revere it, and I hope to see its true face once, so that I will have no regrets in this life.

He will make this kite soar high into the sky.

Jiang Wuyuan thought about it seriously.
