Chapter 769 Crisis
The monks were frustrated by their defeat in the auditions. There were some extremely powerful teams among them. They were all young people with high aspirations and were already holding a grudge. They were instigated and wooed by the Shenyi Sect, who promised them many benefits, and the flames of revenge were instantly ignited.
"The Qingzheng Sect only has 20 people, and we have more than a thousand. We can pick a dozen strong men at random, challenge them once each, and defeat one of them at a time. We can easily get rid of them."
"They're using tricks, so why not use our own tactics to disgust them?"
"Hmph, since everyone is of the same mind, then who will be the first to challenge and destroy the Qingzheng Sect's prestige?"
A loose alliance was formed, but when it came time to actually carry out the retaliation, the monks began to blame each other.
Everyone knows that the Qingzheng Sect is not as easy to bully as in previous years. This year's team has the Nameless Sword and the Emperor Sword as evidence of this.
Emperor Sword has long been notorious for its evil deeds. During the third round of auditions, many cultivators had fought with Xiao Chujing and suffered losses at his hands. They knew that this man's mind and cultivation were not as simple as he appeared. Unless it was necessary, they really didn't want to provoke him.
The people of Wuming Sword have never seen her take action, but her reputation as the number one on the Heavenly Ranking and the master of the best golden elixir always makes people wary of her.
The rule of this round is that the loser will be eliminated directly. Xiao Chujing is in the middle stage of Jindan, and Ye Xiaoman is in the early stage of Jindan. If you want to defeat them both with 100% certainty, you must be at the peak of Jindan.
In the world of cultivation, there are very few cultivators under the age of 30 who can reach the peak of the Jindan stage. The same rule applies to the participating teams. Those who have this ability can directly become team leaders and are the most important fighting force of each team.
It would be fine if you can defeat Qing Zhengzong, but if you can't, it means you have directly lost your strongest fighting force and will be at a disadvantage in the next three days, which is equivalent to being eliminated directly.
No one wants to take that risk.
This is human nature. No one wants to be the first to take on risky things. They only rush in to grab the spoils when they see others getting the goods.
The Shenyi Sect, which organized the event, understood the cultivators' psychology very well and spoke directly.
"Our Senior Brother Du Cun will be the first challenger and win a great victory, setting a good example for everyone else!"
"Once our eldest brother wins, the rest of us will have one person from each team to knock out all the Qingzheng Sect members and free up an empty room. That will be our chance."
When the monks heard this, they were all happy.
Someone curiously asked, "Who does your Senior Brother Du want to challenge later?"
The disciple of the Divine Will Sect said without hesitation: "Ye Xiaoman."
"Haha, your Senior Brother Du is quite ambitious."
The monks present were in an uproar.
Isn’t Ye Xiaoman number one on the Heavenly Ranking?
Whoever defeats her can replace her, have his name engraved on the Kunlun Heavenly Ranking, and become the new number one genius.
Opportunities for big competitions come often, but the chance to become number one is rare.
Even if Ye Xiaoman was really that powerful, with so many of them taking turns challenging her, using a round-robin strategy, she would eventually be exhausted. By then, whoever was lucky enough to defeat her with a single sword strike...
The opportunity to become world-famous is at your fingertips!
"beat!"
"Just target Ye Xiaoman!"
"Today we will see whether the Nameless Sword deserves its reputation or not."
At this moment, except for the Tianxin Sect who were watching coldly from the sidelines, the monks from all sects and schools wanted to line up to challenge Ye Xiaoman.
"If Du Cun can't win, I'll be the next one."
"I."
"And me."
"Hey, let's not fight over it. Fellow Daoist Du, who is at the peak of the Jindan stage, is more than enough to defeat a pseudo-five spiritual roots person at the early stage of the Jindan stage."
Everyone nodded in agreement, celebrating in advance, as if they had just seen Ye Xiaoman's crushing defeat and the moment when her legendary halo was plundered away.
Although the organizers thoughtfully prepared 20 beds in the monastery occupied by Qing Zhengzong, no one could actually sleep on them.
The eldest brother and several other fellow disciples pressed their ears to the crack of the door, reporting every little movement they heard to the others in the room, "Oh no! The people outside are teaming up to target us!"
"Some people are even saying they want to beat our junior sister until she's bleeding."
Xiao Chujing said calmly, "Those targeting my junior sister, write down their names and characteristics. I will visit them one by one after the competition is over."
The calmest people in the room were Xiao Chujing and Ye Xiaoman.
They sat cross-legged facing each other in the open space in the middle of the room. Xiao Chujing used a fire gesture to roast sweet potatoes for Ye Xiaoman. Ye Xiaoman stared at the fragrant sweet potatoes with green eyes, and was as hungry as a mouse that had not eaten any food for seven days.
The situation was stronger than the people, and the four most calm team leaders, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, could no longer sit still. They came over and each of them contributed a little spiritual power to help Xiao Chujing roast and asked Xiao Chujing for advice.
"Uncle Xiao, is there any other way to deal with this situation? Are we just going to wait for others to target us?"
Compared to his fellow disciples' anxious worries, Xiao Chujing remained calm.
He unscrupulously cheated everyone and had long anticipated that others would join forces to counterattack. He knew it and still did it, which shows that he really didn't take others seriously.
His fellow disciples asked him questions, but he said nothing. He roasted the sweet potatoes carefully and meticulously, making sure every part was soft, sweet and delicious. If he made a sound, his spiritual power would be lost, so no one could disturb him from cooking for his junior sister.
There was a bang of fighting outside, and shouts of fighting could be heard from each room. After all, occupying the house and then challenging Ye Xiaoman were not contradictory.
His fellow disciples were extremely anxious, staring at Xiao Chujing who seemed to be fine, and begging him to stop dating and focus on his business first.
Finally, Ye Xiaoman was able to eat the delicious roasted sweet potatoes like a starving ghost.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "Junior Brother Xiao?"
Then Xiao Chujing started roasting chestnuts.
"Junior Sister, sugar coating?"
Everyone: “…”
Your father's best is the one who can finally get the top spot!
Ye Xiaoman was understanding and said, "Brother Xiao, please think about what to do next."
Xiao Chujing faced Ye Xiaoman and answered every question she asked.
"Don't worry. The rules allow you to challenge only one person at a time. Only after you win can you challenge the next one. We only have three days. Most people out there won't have the chance to challenge us."
Unless more than a thousand people came together, Xiao Chujing felt it necessary to rack his brains.
Xiao Chujing felt that talking too much was distracting him and was delaying him from making candied chestnuts for his wife, so he briefly called for help.
"Brother Ju, please analyze our combat capabilities."
Senior Brother Ju immediately said, "Our team consists of three people in the early stage of foundation building, three people in the middle stage of foundation building, and five people in the peak stage of foundation building."
"Four people are in the early stage of Jindan." He pointed at Ye Xiaoman, "One of them is Junior Sister Ye."
"Four people in the middle stage of Jindan, you, Uncle Xiao, and Junior Sister Mei, Junior Brother Lan, and Junior Sister Zhu."
"There's only one person at the peak of the Jindan stage," Senior Brother Ju scratched his ear a little shyly, "and that's me."
