The live-action competition has two modes of competition.
One type is a battle between sects.
The other type is individual combat.
Combination battles are easy to understand; they are simply sects fighting against each other, a free-for-all.
In individual battles, it comes down to individual skill and talent.
To ensure fairness, the individual competition rules are not based on each person's cultivation level, but rather on their bone age.
In other words, non-disciples of the same age group are put together to draw lots, and whoever they are drawn as their opponent will be the one they have to compete against.
Of course, cultivators who have little combat power, such as weapon cultivators, talisman cultivators, and alchemy cultivators, will be separated and will not compete with cultivators with higher combat power, such as sword cultivators.
Therefore, at this point, talent level becomes very important.
Even people of the same age can have vastly different levels of cultivation.
The probability of Foundation Establishment versus Golden Core, and Golden Core versus Nascent Soul.
They are everywhere.
After the elimination rounds, the contestants who participated in the live-action competition will have a few days off.
Over the next few days, specialists will assign them opponents based on their bone age, and the real-life competition will begin when the draw takes place.
However, they encountered a problem when determining bone age.
Among all the contestants, not a single one had a bone age similar to Yun Jing's.
After all, there's probably no other cultivator his age in the entire cultivation world.
In other words...
In individual battles, Yun Jing can simply not participate in the competition.
Even without the competition, he was already number one.
This situation has never occurred before in any previous sect competitions.
On the day the individual competition began, Yun Jing was publicly awarded the title of individual champion before the competition even started.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"You can play like this? Rongling Sect has won without a fight. The competition hasn't even started yet, and they've already produced two champions."
"If you can be like Yun Jing, invincible among your peers, you can also become a champion."
"I can't compare, I can't compare. No wonder he's the senior disciple of Rongling Sect. His talent is simply heaven-defying. I really can't imagine what level of cultivation he'll reach when he's the same age as Song Tianyu and Ling Mo."
"Who can argue with that? When I first learned that Yun Jing, that little kid, was actually the senior brother, I thought the ranking system of Rongling Sect was a joke. Now, at least in terms of talent, he is qualified to be the senior brother."
"Wait a minute, where did Rongling Sect get two champions? Wasn't it just Yun Jing?"
"Have you forgotten Yun Jing's master, Rong Zi? She was also a champion."
"It's true, do you think the Rongling Sect will really win the overall championship this time?"
"It is very likely that the overall champion of the sect competition will be determined by the total number of championships won. The sect with the most championships will be the overall champion. Right now, Rongling Sect is already two championships ahead of the other sects."
...
Amidst the lively chatter, the individual battles officially began.
In the first round of the competition, Ling Mo, Xi Ling'er, and Qi Yufei all drew a Golden Core cultivator from an ordinary sect.
They won without any pressure.
As for Gu Xiaochui...
He got a bye...
In the second round of the competition, the opponents drawn by Ling Mo and his two companions were still not strong, and they did not face anyone from the five major sects.
Therefore, they won this round of the competition very easily as well.
And Gu Xiaochui... got a bye again.
The third round of competition.
Gu Xiaochui still got a bye.
Immediately afterwards...
The fourth round.
The fifth round.
The sixth round.
...
They were given a bye every time.
From the moment the individual battle began, Gu Xiaochui never made a single move.
Upon noticing this, everyone became uneasy.
"What's wrong with Gu Xiaochui? How can someone's luck be this good? Is he even human?"
"Do you think it's possible for him to get a bye and advance directly to the finals?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't that be too unfair to the other contestants?"
The closer the competition goes to the end, the more energy the participants will expend.
Almost no one can enter the finals unscathed.
If Gu Xiaochui really gets a bye and goes straight to the finals, then he'll be in his prime, fighting against opponents who are still recovering from their defeats.
This is too much...
Someone sighed and said, "But it takes skill to get a bye every time, right? There's no rule in the schedule that says you can't have too much luck and get a bye every time."
"Speaking of which, I'm a little envious of Gu Xiaochui's luck."
“Fellow Daoist, you’re not alone. I’m thinking of finding him privately sometime to ask if he has any secrets, or which direction I should kowtow in to have his incredible luck…”
...
Another round of competition has ended.
Qi Yufei, carrying his alchemy furnace, walked up to Gu Xiaochui, panting, grabbed his shoulder, and glared at him with a hint of resentment.
"Second Senior Brother."
"What are you doing?" Gu Xiaochui felt a little uneasy under his gaze.
Qi Yufei took a deep breath. "When we participated in the elimination rounds before, you were incredibly lucky, and I was just happy. But now, looking at you, I'm actually getting a little itchy. How about you let me punch you a couple of times? To help me balance things out."
I'm so envious and jealous!
Although he was an absolute top performer among alchemists in terms of cultivation level, talent, and combat strength, winning the competition was not a problem for him.
