Dean Zhong coughed once, then said as if nothing had happened, "My two apprentices are quite interested in new things. They were probably a little excited when they saw their new junior sister, and their behavior was a bit hard to understand."
Dean Guo was unhappy. He disliked those two brats; they didn't follow any rules and might hurt his precious apprentice at any time.
...
When Pu Erge realized they were following him, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. These two were clearly after Xu Yuehuai. He didn't dare to make a decision rashly, but instead quietly sent a telepathic message to Xu Yuehuai, "Do you need me to take care of these two for you?"
Xu Yuehuai glanced back, and Fu Ziyi smiled and waved to her. Baili Xiuwen remained calm as usual and did not do anything rash. Just as he said, he was simply curious about himself.
After reading it, Xu Yuehuai turned to look at Brother Pu and said to him in a telepathic message, "Thank you, Brother Pu, but it's not necessary. They mean no harm. If you feel it might cause some trouble, I'll separate from you for a while and we'll reunite after I've dealt with my business with them."
"Since you don't mind, let's keep going."
Ji Yuanchi was caught between the two people and had no idea what had just happened, nor did she notice that the two people next to her had been talking behind her back.
Ji Yuanchi's lack of awareness did not mean that Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen were unaware. The two of them clearly felt the killing intent emanating from Brother Pu, but in an instant, that killing intent disappeared.
Fu Ziyi became even more curious about this Junior Sister Xu. As for why he didn't pay attention to Ji Yuanchi, it was because Fu Ziyi felt that she wasn't very smart and didn't want to deal with someone who wasn't very smart.
The competition ended quickly, and Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen barely made it through, ranking 149th and 150th respectively.
Xu Yuehuai sat firmly in first place, having left a huge gap between herself and others from the very beginning. Later, she found hundreds of flags in the sea foam, which solidified her first-place position. She then found some more flags with Pu Erge and Ji Yuanchi.
As things progressed, a precipitous gap emerged between Xu Yuehuai and the second-place finisher.
Pu Erge ultimately won third place, while the second place went to Yan Zhi, who went into the sea foam with Xu Yuehuai.
Ji Yuanchi is in sixth place, which is a very good ranking.
The first round of the competition ended with the deaths of about ten people, several of whom were swept away by the waves. Some people were lamenting and grieving, as these people had all invested resources to get to where they were today.
Yu Er looked at Xu Yuehuai below the stage and sneered, "Let's see how you'll still be laughing if you die in the competition later..."
Yu Er spoke very softly and suddenly, so no one around her heard her clearly. Her friend even asked, "Yu Er, what did you just say? I didn't hear you."
"It's nothing, nothing at all, I just got bitten by a bug." Yu Er had a fake smile on her face, but it was very natural, and it was clear that she was already familiar with this way of life.
The elder who had been there earlier stood in the center of the arena again and said to the crowd, "Next, those who are ranked 150th or below, that is, those who have not collected 80 flags, may leave the arena and depart."
Upon hearing this, the disciples on the stage began to stir; most of them were from the academy.
The Pu and Guo families didn't have many members eliminated. They were good at sticking together, and those who were eliminated were just unlucky guys who didn't encounter any of their own people throughout the entire game.
Fu Mu looked at Xu Yuehuai and Ji Yuanchi with a sinister gaze.
He remained on stage, and only when he suddenly woke up at the last moment, found his followers, and got them to give him all the flags did he manage to stay within the top 150.
Otherwise, he would also be one of those being eliminated right now.
Fu Mu lowered his eyes, looking at his still slightly aching lower body, his fists clenched tightly, and his whole body exuded a murderous intent.
The direction they were facing was Ji Yuanchi.
Having spent a long time in the wild, Pu Erge was most sensitive to the murderous intent released by others. He immediately spotted Fu Mu in the crowd. The two only exchanged a glance, and Fu Mu instantly wilted, like a withered flower.
A strange emotion flashed in Pu Erge's eyes as he pondered something.
The old man on the stage began to announce the second challenge: "This second challenge is very simple. It's a grand arena battle. There are 30 people in each arena, and there are a total of five arenas. Ten people will be eliminated from each arena. That is, the first person to fall off the arena."
"The remaining twenty people can continue to fight until the first place in this arena is determined. Everyone should try their best. If they perform well in this round, some sects will recruit them as disciples in advance."
Before jumping off the ring, the old man gave a kind smile and gave instructions to everyone.
The competition began quickly, and everyone drew lots. Ji Yuanchi was placed in one ring, while Xu Yuehuai and Pu Erge were placed in the other.
Pu Erge frowned, slightly dissatisfied, and looked at Ji Yuanchi, worried that she might get injured on the stage alone.
Ji Yuanchi knew what her second brother was thinking, so she patted his shoulder reassuringly, "Alright, alright, why do you look so gloomy? Your sister is perfectly fine! Besides, after so much cultivation, my strength is completely different from that little girl back then, okay? So, second brother, please don't make that complicated expression!"
Pu Erge wasn't comforted by her words. He knew his younger sister's capabilities perfectly well. "After the ten people are eliminated from the arena, you'll come down, understand?"
Pu Erge only asked her to guarantee a minimum income.
Ji Yuanchi was about to refuse and say something grand, but when she turned her head, she saw the worry in her second brother's eyes and his tightly furrowed brows. In an instant, she became obedient and docile. "I promise to complete the mission! I definitely won't let myself get hurt. You know I'm afraid of pain. I will come down from the ring unscathed!"
After everyone drew lots, they went up on stage in order.
From the 1st to the 30th, there was only one person among them whom Xu Yuehuai recognized, and that was Yan Zhi.
The competition officially began with a drumbeat, and the scene was very lively. As Xu Yuehuai watched the attacks, he noticed that some people were driven by personal feelings and wanted to kill others.
She originally thought Yan Zhi wouldn't last long, after all, a fortune teller was only a minor subject.
But when she saw Yan Zhi take out two large axes, her eyes lit up immediately, revealing her shock and amusement.
