Yan Yi, the sect leader of the Mulin Sect, shook his head and replied, "I am number nine hundred and one."
Wang Qiwen, the sect leader of the Earth Spirit Sect, also shook his head.
"I am 1,102."
The above is an account of Lü Zhongyi, the sect leader of Jinze Sect.
"I am 1,158."
Upon hearing his number, everyone present turned to look at him.
Shui Qingyue said with some surprise, "You didn't get a bye this round? Are you that lucky?"
To be able to accurately draw a bye from more than 3,000 wooden sticks, that's incredibly lucky.
Lu Zhongyi chuckled and turned to look at Song Fengming beside him.
"That's still not as good as Sect Master Song. He doesn't even need to draw lots. His opponent is just a Foundation Establishment stage girl. How much easier is that?"
“Who says otherwise?” Yan Yi chimed in, teasingly adding, “Sect Leader Song, you’d better go easy on that young lady later.”
Song Fengming raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would bully a young girl?"
Murong Zhen listened to their conversation, looked at Song Fengming, and opened his mouth as if to say something but then hesitated.
"you……"
Song Fengming asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Thinking that Murong Zhen also wanted to remind him to go easy on Rong Zi later, he added, "Don't worry, I will go easy on her."
Murong Zhen's expression was somewhat subtle.
He raised his hand and patted Song Fengming on the shoulder, then sighed softly.
"Never mind, good luck."
Song Fengming: "...?!"
Wish him good luck?
Shouldn't we wish that girl named Rong Zi good luck?
The results of the draw are in, and the competition has officially begun.
Due to the venue limitations and to provide a better viewing experience for spectators, the first round of matches will not be held simultaneously.
Instead, it proceeds in order of the lottery numbers, with 100 groups going around in a row.
Before the competition began, Murong Zhen and the sect leaders of the five major sects exchanged glances, and the six of them then took to the air and arrived above the arena.
They raised their hands simultaneously to cast a spell.
As they moved, hundreds of arrays that isolated the inside from the outside instantly rose from the ground on the huge field, each array marked with a corresponding number.
This formation was set up long ago.
Right now, Murong Zhen and the others are just activating the formation.
However, upon seeing this scene, the audience members in the stands couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
That's amazing!
Is this the power of the Mahayana stage?
They seem to have an aura about them!
After the formation was activated, Murong Zhen and the other six flew down and returned to the high platform.
The sect leaders of the first hundred groups arrived at the corresponding formations according to the numbers they drew.
Before entering the formation, each sect leader used their spiritual power to inscribe their sect's name on the formation, relying on their own exceptional strength.
Two hundred people simultaneously inscribed words on the formation, a scene that once again drew gasps of amazement from the audience.
Rong Zi was one of the participants waiting to go on stage. Instead of going to the audience seats, he sat in a specially prepared spot below the high platform with the other sect leaders who had not yet gone on stage.
This is the best view.
Most of the sect leaders competing on the field were at the Refinement Stage or the Integration Stage.
If it's a match between people of similar cultivation levels, it might take a little longer to determine a winner.
However, if there is a difference in cultivation level between the two sides, the outcome can be determined in a matter of minutes.
As soon as a winner is determined in any formation, a new group of opponents will immediately take the stage to continue the competition.
How often do people get to see so many top players clash in one go?
The audience was absolutely thrilled.
Rong Zi, sitting at the very back of the sect leaders, watched the people below locked in a fierce battle, and yawned with utter boredom.
Neither he nor Song Fengming participated in the draw, so they were assumed to be the last group to compete.
If she had known this would happen, she should have added a condition when she made the bet with Qin Ziteng in the first place.
They must be the first to go on stage.
This way, she won't have to wait here.
Everyone was watching the game and no one was paying attention to Rong Zi.
Jun Moyao quietly crawled out of the Hongmeng Ring, then climbed into Rong Zi's collar and tugged at her hair, using her hair and collar to cover his body.
He reached out and grabbed Rong Zi's ear, then stood on tiptoe and whispered a question in her ear.
"Are you sure you want to compete with Song Fengming?"
Upon hearing Jun Moyao's words, Rong Zi's fingertips twitched slightly, and she quietly took out an invisibility talisman and stuck it on his back.
The moment the talisman was affixed, Jun Moyao's figure vanished.
The lowest cultivation level among the people around her was the Refinement stage, so it would be easy for her to be discovered if she acted like this.
It wasn't that Rong Zi was afraid Jun Moyao would be exposed.
After all, even if he were exposed, she could still protect him now.
Mainly because his small stature makes him prone to causing a sensation...
Rong Zi's ears were a little itchy, so she reached out and pulled Jun Moyao's collar down to her palm.
She looked down at him and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think it's a little too late to ask this now?"
The invisibility talisman on Jun Moyao's body had no effect on Rong Zi.
His long, silver hair fell smoothly into Rong Zi's palm, its texture soft to the touch.
Jun Moyao tilted his head back to meet Rong Zi's gaze, frowned, and said, "You've only just established your foundation; it's not advisable for you to be too flamboyant right now."
Song Fengming is the sect leader of the Yaohuo Sect.
Now that Yaohuo Sect is the leader of the five sects, if he were to compete with Rong Zi, the entire cultivation world would probably recognize him.
