As is customary, the first match of each faction ranking competition is a team battle between Qi Refining stage players, and this year is no exception.
Therefore, with the Nascent Soul elder's order, all the disciples from various sects who had been waiting in the waiting area were immediately teleported to the competition area, and the competition officially began.
Instantly, a super huge light screen appeared above the platform, with many smaller light screens inside, projecting the situation in the competition arena onto it.
The projection was so clear that even the little potato could see the fine hairs on the faces of the people in it. It was truly high-definition, and it was also the kind that had no blind spots from 360 degrees.
Along with the light screen, two scrolling subtitles appeared on the left and right sides. The left subtitle recorded the total score of each sect, while the right subtitle recorded the score of this match.
Most importantly, both subtitles scroll and update in real time, which is like a real-time scoring system in the cultivation world. Shushu was almost stunned.
Sure enough, no matter what world you're in, there are always extraordinary people out there. Never underestimate anyone, Shushu couldn't help but think to himself.
However, she only sighed for a moment before turning her attention to the central screen and starting to search for the participating disciples of the Liuyue Sect, while also recalling the team battle rules in her mind.
Team battles are actually also battles for jade tokens. Every disciple who enters the preliminary stage of the competition will have a jade token.
The participating disciples must find other contestants and steal their jade tokens within the allotted time. Finally, they will be ranked according to the number of jade tokens they have, from highest to lowest.
During the competition, if a participant runs out of jade tokens, they will be automatically eliminated and teleported out of the competition area.
It sounds very simple, but the actual test area is very large, and the place you are teleported to is also random.
Some unlucky souls whose journeys are far away might spend half a day walking without encountering other teams, let alone having any jade tokens to snatch.
Even if you're lucky enough to have many other teams around, you still need to have the strength to defeat them and steal their jade tokens; otherwise, you'll just be the one who gets robbed.
Of course, if someone is strong enough, there's nothing to worry about, like the disciples of the Flowing Moon Sect.
When Shushu found them in that vast expanse of light, they were surrounded by a group of disciples from several small sects working together.
Those who attacked them probably thought they outnumbered the Liuyue Sect members and were no match for them. They were extremely arrogant and spoke with a hint of haughtiness, demanding that the members hand over the jade tokens.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Liuyue Sect exchanged glances and then attacked with lightning speed. In just a few swift moves, before their arrogant expressions had even faded, they had all been taken down.
Even the jade tokens on their bodies were instantly handed over to the disciples of the Liuyue Sect, providing everyone with a very realistic scene of being robbed instead of robbed.
He tried to struggle, but found that he couldn't even get up. He could only watch helplessly as the members of the Liuyue Sect took their jade tokens and swaggered away.
It was only at this point that they truly realized the difference between themselves and the disciples of the major sects, and they were filled with regret, wishing they hadn't been so audacious as to try and rob them.
Unfortunately, they didn't know this sooner; their jade pendant was gone, and they lost the match.
Then, having lost their jade tokens, they were teleported out of the competition area and found themselves facing a group of eliminated contestants.
Meanwhile, the Liuyue Sect disciples who were trying to snatch them away continued to stroll leisurely through the small arena of the competition, appearing carefree and waiting for others to snatch them away so they could snatch them back.
This kind of entrapment scheme made the disciples of the sects they had eliminated feel a bit heartbroken. They simply stopped meditating and instead squatted under the light screen of the Liuyue Sect disciples to see if there were any other victims like themselves.
It wasn't until they saw more and more people like them who had been deceived and eliminated that they felt a little better. Indeed, as long as they weren't the only ones who suffered, it wasn't too bad.
The Liuyue Sect disciples, who were still in the competition, were unaware of the attention and scrutiny they were receiving from those outside.
They simply followed their pre-arranged plan, slowly accumulating jade tokens, occasionally listening to the announcements of the top three winners, and then counting the jade tokens in their hands.
If they are close to the third-place jade token, they will avoid people. If they are too far behind the third-place jade token, they will take the initiative to seize the jade token to ensure the number of jade tokens in their hands.
Therefore, those watching the match outside saw that Liuyue Sect's ranking on the screen remained stable at fourth or fifth place, no matter how it changed or how much time had passed.
Never fall behind, and never surpass others to rush into the top three, so that your position, as announced, becomes a target that everyone wants to attack.
If they got really bored, these people would sneak over to the top three in the competition and hide in the shadows to watch them get robbed. They even had time to steal the spiritual plants and fruits from the smaller competition areas.
Their relaxed and carefree demeanor made it seem as if they weren't there to compete, but rather to have fun; it was so comfortable it was almost enviable.
Such a scene not only stunned those below, but even the sect leaders and patriarchs sitting on the stage had their mouths twitching.
I wanted to say something, but I was worried that it would really ignite people's fighting spirit, and then my sect would most likely be ambushed, and we might not even be able to win.
If they don't say anything, they feel very aggrieved.
Finally, Yin Maoxue, the newly appointed sect leader of Tianyan Sect, couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader Liu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for your sect's disciples to act this way? This is a competition."
Liu Yu merely glanced at him and replied indifferently, "I think it's fine as it is."
The resources needed by their Liuyue Sect are different from those of these cultivators, and they have no intention of being leaders. They just want to ensure that they have a certain degree of influence and are not restricted or controlled by others.
Otherwise, if they get a better ranking and more territory, they'll have to worry about how to manage it. They don't want to do such thankless work; they'd rather maintain the status quo.
Of course, Liu Yu didn't say the last two sentences, but everyone present understood that he didn't want to be number one.
Although I don't understand why the Flowing Moon Sect doesn't want more resources, by not vying for first place, they have more opportunities.
Therefore, all the sect leaders and sect masters who understood this meaning shut up and said no more, including Yin Maoxue, who had taken the initiative to bring up the topic.
To be honest, he really didn't want Liuyue Sect to win first place. Tianyan Sect had been number one for many years, and he really couldn't bear to give up that title, even though he knew that Liuyue Sect was stronger than them.
And so, after this incident, no one brought up the topic again. However, when watching the competition, everyone inevitably paid more attention to the disciples of the Liuyue Sect.
