The gazes of the crowd outside were completely unknown to the few Liuyue Sect disciples who were still competing in the minor realm contest.
The difficulty of this competition was within their expectations, and they did not find it strenuous.
Therefore, even as the competition drew to a close and they clearly sensed the tense atmosphere, they continued to play according to the original plan, neither trying to stand out nor falling behind.
It wasn't until they heard that the top three had all changed their names again, and witnessed another fierce battle for the jade tokens, that they seriously calculated the top three and the number of jade tokens in their hands.
After ensuring they wouldn't fall out of the top eight under any circumstances, the disciples of the Flowing Moon Sect huddled together and whispered among themselves for a while.
They cunningly took the jade token and hid in a very secluded corner, refusing to show themselves no matter how much the other contestants made a fuss.
As a result, those who wanted to see them fight against others and learn their moves so they could deal with them in later singles matches could only sigh in disappointment.
One has to admire how cunning the people of the Liuyue Sect are, but there's nothing one can do but stare at them helplessly through the light screen.
Fortunately, the first team competition didn't drag on for too long, and the allotted time for the competition ended before everyone got impatient.
When the time was up, the competition's small realm automatically detected the number of jade tokens in everyone's hands. Upon checking the rankings, as expected, Liuyue Sect was firmly ranked fourth.
The third place is the group of monks from Tiancan Temple, the second place is Hunyuan Sect, and the first place is Tianyan Sect.
The fifth place is Ziyu Sect, the sixth is Hehuan Sect, the seventh is Jiuding Sect, the eighth is a newly emerged sect called Manyue Sect, and Cangyan Sect ranks ninth.
However, this is only the first match, and it remains to be seen whether the Nine Cauldrons Sect and the Azure Flame Sect can maintain their original status in the future.
However, the decline of this sect is obvious, after all, the loss of more than half is no joke and it is impossible to make up for it in a short period of time.
In addition, their newly appointed sect leader has limited abilities, so it will be quite difficult for them to break through the encirclement.
With the conclusion of the first team competition, the competition will no longer be a different type of event each day. Instead, individual and skill competitions will start simultaneously, meaning all six competitions will be held concurrently.
In the singles competition, opponents are randomly matched by drawing lots. Two people with the same number are paired up to fight. The loser is eliminated and the winner advances until a first place is determined.
As for the five skill competitions: weapon crafting, alchemy, talisman making, formation, and beast taming.
In this competition, all contestants participate simultaneously, starting with the lowest-grade pills and gradually increasing the grade. The winner is determined by who can refine the highest-quality pills in the shortest time.
Of all the competitions, the one-on-one arena is the most popular. After all, professional magicians are still a minority in the Rainy Continent, and most people are just magic cultivators. Naturally, they prefer to watch fights, and Shushu is no exception.
Almost every morning, before the competition starts, she would arrive at the venue to check which matches were taking place and who would be playing. She would then choose the matches that interested her and that she could learn something from.
Of course, as a mouse, she couldn't possibly come out alone.
Therefore, she would go with whoever was free. Sometimes it was Xu Ruoyun, sometimes it was Ling Mufeng or Fu Ziang, and most of the time it was Lu Li who took her.
But no matter which senior student was guiding her, they would also explain things to her. After two days, she learned a lot and became even more interested in watching the competition.
In the following days, she even dragged her friend Rabbit along. During the day, they would watch the competitions, and when they returned at night, they would use what they had learned that day to have a match at the station. She truly put what she had learned into practice.
The competition lasted for five days, and she watched it for all five days. Her skills improved dramatically, and now she can barely hold her own against Rabbit.
At the same time, all the Qi Refining stage competitions have ended, and the Foundation Establishment stage competitions will begin next.
Just as all the Qi Refining stage competitions ended, the scores of each sect and school were also released and simultaneously updated to the overall score list in the center of the arena.
The rankings are as follows: Tianyan Sect, Hunyuan Sect, Tiancan Temple, Liuyue Sect, Ziyu Sect, Hehuan Sect, Manyue Sect, and Huixuan Sect.
As everyone expected, both the Nine Cauldrons Sect and the Azure Flame Sect fell out of the top eight, and were replaced by the Full Moon Sect and another sect called the Revolving Sect, respectively.
And the moment I saw the rankings, even though I knew this was just the beginning and not the final result.
The new sect leader of the Nine Cauldrons Sect and the new sect leader of the Azure Flame Sect couldn't help but darken their faces, glaring indignantly at the newly appointed sect leaders.
If looks could kill, the leaders of those two sects would probably be dead on the spot.
Since the leader acted this way, the disciples below naturally followed suit, all glaring angrily at the other party.
The four factions were all unwilling to submit to each other and looked down on each other. In the end, no one knows who spoke first, but they started arguing on voice chat.
The way the woman was spewing such foul language left the onlookers speechless, completely unprepared for what had happened.
Seeing the spittle flying everywhere, Shushu even wondered if it weren't for the faction ranking competition rules that prohibit fighting during the competition, otherwise the participant would be disqualified.
These four forces could probably start a brawl on the spot; it's truly astonishing.
Of course, they didn't end up fighting. After exchanging insults and threats, they left with dark faces under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
After a long while of staring at each other, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective posts.
As soon as she returned to her post, Shushu received a telepathic message from Liu Yu, asking her and Lu Li to come over.
Then, they met Xiao Tiandao at Liu Yu's place.
After a discussion, Shushu and Luli left Star City quietly without informing anyone. Under the guidance and escort of Xiaotiandao, they arrived at the center of the earth veins of the Rain Forest Continent.
Here, a very ancient gate has been quietly opened.
