It's just a little cheating, not a foul.
Sure enough, the night before the new competition began, people from other sects also experienced thunder tribulations.
In addition to the four major sects, some sects with considerable strength also took advantage of this loophole.
The others knew that it was another semi-final where the big guys would win and the little guys would suffer.
I don’t know when this rule will be changed.
In every sect competition, until the finals, whether it is the Qi Refining Stage competition or the Foundation Establishment Stage competition, there is no doubt that it is basically the four major sects and second-tier sects like the Biyun Sect, where the disciples who have been promoted to the Golden Core Stage at the last moment compete.
What’s the difference between it and the Jindan stage session next door?
Fortunately, it takes a lot of preparation to advance from the Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage, otherwise they in the Jindan stage might be in the same situation.
The next day, right after the competition started, people from the four major sects hypocritically congratulated each other on having their disciples promoted to the Golden Core Stage. The scene was quite harmonious.
None of the disciples advanced to the Golden Core Stage, and their faces turned pale: just another day to serve as a foil.
But this harmonious scene was broken when Qin Baoyao came on stage.
When she went on stage, her opponent was a disciple of Yuanshi Sect who had also entered the Golden Core Stage last night. That disciple had been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for quite a long time in preparation for this sect competition, and had even reached the point where he could fight against opponents of higher levels.
In the preliminary round, it was Shi Yue who faced him, and he was also the only opponent that Shi Yue lost to.
When Qin Baoyao saw him, she was happy and greeted him: "Hey, what a coincidence."
The man was also amused when he saw it: "It is indeed quite a coincidence."
In the preliminary round, Shi Yue was the only one who took him a long time to defeat. After defeating him, he saw the little ancestor of Guiyi Sect running over to help her, and said something like "You'd better remember this." She did remember it, but did she still want to defeat me?
Unexpectedly, I faced her directly in the semi-finals. It was fate.
When the two came up, they didn't take action immediately, but just watched.
Qin Baoyao was thinking, because she could see through the other party's cultivation level and knew that he was now in the early stage of Jindan, but she had also heard of his deeds. Wei Zi, the first sword cultivator disciple of Yuanshi Sect, was good at fighting across levels. She was wondering whether she could beat him with her cultivation level two levels higher than his.
Wei Zizi discovered that he couldn't even see through the girl's cultivation level. She was actually higher than me. But it's okay. I'm good at fighting across levels. It's said that just over a year ago, she was only at the Qi Refining Stage. Even if her cultivation level had improved, her combat experience couldn't compare to mine. It wouldn't be a problem for me to beat her.
The others held their breath and looked at the two.
Oh my god, the first match is actually between two Jindan stage people. How exciting.
The Foundation Establishment disciples who were also going to participate in the semi-finals were secretly happy: "Two Golden Core Stage disciples are facing off. This means that the probability of them facing off against Golden Core Stage disciples has unexpectedly become smaller. That's great."
After some observation and testing of each other, the two moved at the same time, and the first move they made was a powerful one.
In the preliminary round, you need to play five games, and only those who win three games can enter the semi-finals.
The semi-finals require three games. The team that wins all three games will directly enter the finals. The team that wins two games will need to play two more games with other players who have also won two games. The team that wins all two games will advance.
Among these people, the losers will play three more games with those who only won one of the three games at the beginning, and the ones who win all three games will advance.
As for those who lost all three games in the first round, they have no chance of advancing.
Both of them wanted to end the battle quickly, after all, there were two more games to come.
As a result, Wei Zi lost when they met.
He then realized that the girl opposite him was actually at the peak of the late Jindan stage and was almost half a step away from becoming a Yuanying.
It’s really a bit unlucky.
If he loses this game, it means that he will have to win at least four more games.
But he was not as skilled as his opponent, so he wiped the blood from his mouth, folded his hands and turned away.
Qin Baoyao on the stage was a little stunned when she saw this scene, because she didn't expect that she could defeat the person with just one move. Am I so powerful?
"Qin Baoyao from Guiyi Sect wins." The referee announced the result of the match.
As soon as he finished his announcement, someone in the audience shouted, "Foul! It's a foul!"
"She must be more than the Jindan stage. It's impossible for a Jindan stage person to defeat my senior brother with just one move. My senior brother is someone who can fight across levels, and he is also in the Jindan stage." A fanatical fan of Wei Zi from Yuanshi Sect raised the question on the spot.
"Oh? Do others think so too?" someone asked in the referee's seat.
"Yes." Some firm voices were heard around the disciple and even from other directions.
The Yuanshi Sect wanted to stand up for their eldest senior brother, while the other sects wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat a strong opponent.
After all, Wei Zi of Yuanshi Sect is also very famous among them. The chances of winning against him are very slim. Now someone comes out and defeats him with one move. That would be unacceptable.
Moreover, this person is from Guiyi Sect, and there are already enough people from Guiyi Sect who have entered the semi-finals.
After hearing the result announced, Qin Baoyao, who was about to go down, stopped and looked at those who said that Guiyi Sect had cheated, muttering in his heart: It is true that there was a little cheating, but I did not cheat. Didn’t your senior brother also cheat a little?
She looked down at those people and shook her head. "I didn't break the rules. I'm also in the Jindan stage. The rules only say that those who advance to the Jindan stage in the preliminary round need to participate in the Jindan stage competition. It doesn't say that those who advance to the Jindan stage in the semi-finals are not allowed to advance to the Jindan stage. Didn't your eldest brother also advance to the Jindan stage recently?"
"No, it's impossible. How could someone who can defeat my senior brother with one move be only in the Golden Core stage?"
"It's the Jindan stage, but I'm at the peak stage of the late Jindan stage~" Qin Baoyao showed off a little proudly. She and Shi Yue overcame the tribulation and broke through together, but she was stronger than Shi Yue, who was a little weaker than her.
Grandmaster Uncle said that if I make a little more progress, I will reach the half-step Nascent Soul stage, and then I will really have no choice but to withdraw from the competition. But it’s my fault that I’m stuck at this level of cultivation.
The master uncle of the sect also said that during previous competitions, when someone first appeared to exploit loopholes in the rules to cheat, Guiyi Sect proposed to standardize the rules and plug the loopholes in the rules, which was not allowed to be done by others.
For so long, the majority of people who appeared were those who were in the late foundation building stage and were promoted to the early golden elixir stage. The people who made the rules were very satisfied. After all, it was really beneficial for them.
This time, she and Shi Yue were promoted to the late Jindan stage in an instant, which could be used to persuade others to change the rules, so he just let them do what they wanted.
He even asked Qin Baoyao and the others to use all their strength to give the others as much shock as possible.
As soon as Baoyao came on stage, Qin Gu noticed that the people from other sects were getting nervous, especially those from Yuanshi Sect.
The disciples couldn’t see Qin Baoyao’s specific cultivation level, so how could these old guys not see it?
Even if you can cross levels, what can you do?
Hearing the other disciples protesting and Qin Baoyao calmly and proudly stating her own cultivation level, he smiled with satisfaction: "That's how it should be! The more boastful and arrogant, the better."
Anyway, their Guiyi Sect can take care of this and let others see that if the rules are not perfect, her situation will occur. Let's see how they can react.
"I don't believe it!" The Yuanshi Sect disciple who questioned Qin Baoyao's foul shouted!
"Don't believe it?" Qin Baoyao shrugged, turned around, and said to the position where the sect leaders were standing: "Uncle Fang, what do you think? Did I break the rules?"
When she turned around, the leader of Yuanshi Sect thought to himself: Oh no, this kid is going to cause trouble.
Sure enough, the moment he opened his mouth, his heart trembled. Of course, he wanted to say it was a foul. If it was a foul, this match would be invalid, and Wei Zi's match number could be recounted. However, so many people were watching, and this kid was indeed almost at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, and was now at the peak of the late Golden Core stage.
Under the gazes of so many people and the anticipation of the sect disciples, he said, "He is indeed at the peak of the late Jindan stage. He meets the competition standards and it is not a foul."
Some people were hoping that he would be more assertive and directly confront the people from Guiyi Sect, but they didn't expect that he would personally admit that the other party's disciples did not commit any fouls, which made some people feel a little disappointed.
But this was a bad thing for everyone present: He was really stuck in the Golden Core Stage? He really hadn't committed any fouls? He could even defeat Wei Zi of the Yuanshi Sect with a single move, so why would anyone else compete?
Hearing this, Qin Baoyao was very satisfied and turned back: "Did you hear that? Your clan leader admitted it himself. I am in the Golden Core Stage. I didn't break the rules!"
After saying this, he swaggered off the stage and headed towards Guiyi Sect.
As soon as she came to the side of someone she knew, she was eager to praise them: "How was it? Did I do well? After Master Uncle and Sect Leader Uncle let me win, I'll be as proud as I can be. I did it."
"Yes, yes, well done." Yu Ying touched her who was extremely proud, and thought to himself: I hope that the decision made by Master and Sect Master this time can really promote the modification and improvement of the rules of the sect competition.
She was once one of the victims of this rule. She had a great hope of being among the top three in the Foundation Establishment Stage competition that year. However, due to a loophole in this rule, the top three, or even the top five, were all those who were promoted to the Golden Core Stage before the semi-finals or the finals.
Not long after, when Shi Yue also came on the field and killed his opponent in seconds, everyone finally started to panic: In Guiyi Sect, there were two people who were promoted to the late Jindan stage at this juncture?
If there were any restrictions, they should have been forced to compete in the Jindan stage, but they were within the rules and it was not considered a foul, so there was nothing they could do.
This time, the blow to sects such as Yuanshi Sect, Namo Sect, Sixiang Sect and Biyun Sect was the greatest.
Because they can already see that in the Foundation Establishment Stage competition, other sects can only compete for third place, and the first and second places can be said to have been monopolized by the Guiyi Sect.
They looked at each other and said, "Change it! We must change it! We need to discuss and change it now!"
So after the day's competition was over, several sects requested to modify and improve the rules.
Qin Gu, Yun Xuemin and others watched them discuss and talk without interrupting.
Just when they thought everything could go as they wished, he came out to pour cold water on them: "It's okay to change it, but not for this sect competition."
Yun Xuemin was full of energy, unleashing his full might. "My junior brother is right. Changing the rules midway through the competition? What? Targeting us, the Guiyi Sect?"
"That's right. We asked you to change it before, but you refused. Now you can change it this time, but wait until this sect competition is over. Otherwise, who will believe in the rules of the sect competition in the future?" Bai Qing also chimed in.
