Chapter 160 Team Competition
The individual competitions have now all ended.
Xiaoyao Sect is far ahead with a high score of 44, while Changning Sect is at the bottom with 10 points.
Three days later, the team competition officially began.
Elder Qian stood on the high platform, and as usual, he looked at everyone coldly, and waited until everyone was quiet before starting the next step.
He took out a space stone in public, and two disciples of the Tianjian Sect also carried out a basket of white transparent beads.
He used his spiritual power to activate the space stone, and the general environment of the secret realm inside the space stone was also projected into the air.
Then, he waved his hand, and all the beads in the basket scattered to every corner of the secret realm.
He said: "The rules of this team competition are very simple. There are 100 white jade pearls, and each white jade pearl is worth one point. The competition lasts for one month. On the last day of the secret realm closing, the white jade pearls found will be handed in. The sect that finds the most pearls will win.
In addition, the number of people in each team cannot be less than five and cannot be more than ten, and the number of people can be freely matched.
The secret realm is fraught with danger. Every disciple entering the secret realm needs to wear a teleportation jade token. If they encounter danger, they can smash the token to teleport out. However, this also means that they will be eliminated from the team competition, and all beads they carry will be invalidated. Only beads handed in on the last day will count towards the score.
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Nan Xiao raised her hand actively: "I have a question?"
Elder Qian's eyebrows twitched, and he knew she was there: "Go ahead."
Nan Xiao asked, "Can I grab it?"
"Can"
"Then can I crush other people's jade tokens and eliminate them?"
"That's fine."
“…………”
Elder Qian was a little annoyed by Nan Xiao's endless questions, and quickly added, "No matter what method you use, as long as you bring the beads back on the last day of the secret realm, it will count."
Nan Xiao chuckled and said, "I understand."
Elder Qian: “…”
I have a bad feeling.
"I'll give you one stick of incense to divide into teams. Then come to me to get the teleportation jade tokens, and then we'll enter the secret realm together."
…
The number of direct disciples and inner disciples who came from Xiaoyao Sect this time was only twenty-six in total.
"Big Brother, how do you say we divide our team?"
Jiang Xia was also thinking about whether to have a few direct disciples form a group and the remaining inner disciples be divided into two groups, or two direct disciples and a few inner disciples form a group.
Nan Xiao suddenly said, "Big Brother, I know how to divide it."
Everyone turned their attention to Nan Xiao.
Jiang Xia said gently, "Tell me about it."
Nan smiled and said, "Big Brother, this competition has a strict requirement. Only the beads brought out on the last day count. In other words, the disciples who remain until the end are basically the elite disciples of each sect, so we can't separate them. I guess other sects are the same, concentrating the most powerful disciples in one team and the others as supporting disciples."
Qiao Yue nodded in agreement: "Junior Sister, what you said makes sense."
Nan Xiao waved his hand and gathered all the inner disciples together.
She said, "Fellow disciples, listen to me. Although we are just running along, our trip is not in vain. There are many good things in the secret realm. You should treat it as training and collect cultivation resources for your own use. If you find a bead, leave a mark and hide it. Try it in the secret realm. If the spirit jade works, use it to send a message to tell us where it is hidden. If it doesn't work, then leave a mark together. If we see the mark later, we will know that there are beads in this area and we will naturally find it.
As long as you don't have any beads on you, those people probably won't want to attack you. This way you can stay in the secret realm for a while longer and collect more resources."
Everyone's eyes lit up, this is possible.
To put it bluntly, what good would it do these inner disciples, after diligently searching for the pearl, to achieve? Would they survive until the last day? If they encountered a disciple from another sect, wouldn't they be snatched away in a matter of minutes?
It would be more practical to use the resources in the secret realm to improve your own strength.
Jiang Xia urged, "Then do as Junior Sister says. Be careful and be safe first."
"yes"
........
When the time came, Elder Qian confirmed that every disciple had received a teleportation jade token, then waved his hand and sent everyone directly into the secret realm.
At the last moment, Nan Xiao remembered that every time she entered the secret realm, the landing point was random and they would basically separate, which was not good for her.
It was too late for her to say anything now. Before she could see who was around her, she used the small buds to tie the two people closest to her together.
There was another familiar feeling of dizziness.
When Nan Xiao opened her eyes, she was hanging on a crooked tree on the edge of a cliff by Xiaoya's vines.
Nan Xiao: “……….”
Damn, is the beginning so exciting?
If it weren't for Xiaoya, she would have fallen off the cliff and died unconsciously.
What an embarrassing way to die.
At this time, Ye Wumian and Lu Huai behind her also woke up.
Ye Wumian's pupils dilated, and he asked in shock: "Why am I hanging in the air?"
Lu Huai looked at the crooked tree that was about to collapse. Its small body was bearing a weight that it shouldn't have to bear. It must have been hard for it to carry three people.
He quickly said, "Third Brother, stop shaking. This tree looks like it's about to break."
As soon as Nan Xiao heard their voices, he knew who Xiaoya had tied up.
She said, "I'll count to three, two, one and untie the vines. If you can't steady yourself in time and fall to your death, don't look for me."
They both replied at the same time: "Okay."
Nan Xiao said, "Three, two, one, solution."
The vines instantly dispersed, and the bodies of the three people quickly fell off the cliff.
Nan Xiao grabbed Kuaipao, flipped over neatly, and stood on the sword.
She wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and said narcissistically, "Phew, luckily I'm quite skilled. A small cliff can't stop me."
As soon as she finished speaking, two figures from below quickly flew upwards.
It was Lu Huai and Ye Wumian who had just fallen.
"Brother, Junior Brother, you can't do this. You're so slow."
Lu Huai said angrily, "I should have been the fastest, but it was all because of Third Senior Brother that he pulled me back, causing me to fall again."
Ye Wumian smiled wryly and said, "Don't be angry, Junior Brother. I've been hanging for too long, and my mind is a little confused. It was a mistake, purely a mistake."
Nan smiled and said, "Let's go up and talk about it."
"good."
………….
The people in the stands watched the images being played simultaneously on four recording stones in the air, and talked about it with great relish:
"Oh my god, look at this! The little sister from the Tianjian Sect found two beads right after entering the secret realm. Her luck is incredible."
"Jian Mo from Huanhai Sect is trapped on a tree, with a group of foundation-building monsters below. Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. What a desperate alchemy cultivator."
"Su Yan and Han Yicheng fell into a monster's lair at the same time and started fighting over a bead."
"Look, Nan Xiao and her fellow apprentices have just climbed up from the cliff."
"Oh my god, why didn't she fall and die?"
"Brother, you speak viciously."
"She cheated me out of 20,000 spirit stones. I just cursed her a few times to vent my anger. What's wrong with that?"
“.......”
Makes sense....
