Chapter 157: Entering the Top Three
As soon as these words were spoken, one third of the originally crowded crowd dispersed instantly.
After these people's extensive publicity last night, many people were eager to take advantage. With so many people, even if Nan Xiao managed to win by chance, what would happen? As long as they all spoke with one voice, they wouldn't be afraid even if it came to the attention of the various sect leaders. And if Nan Xiao lost, some lucky people would even receive 10,000 spirit stones each—a sure win.
Many disciples who cared about their reputation dispersed after hearing these words. Only a few people thought she was exaggerating and did not take it seriously.
Nan Xiao looked at the long queue, estimating that there were about a hundred people.
If you win, you will make a net profit of one million. If you lose, you will lose at most three hundred thousand.
Of course. There was no way her senior brother would lose.
She skillfully took out a pen and paper, put it into Lu Huai's hand, and instructed: "Junior brother, you will register. If anyone uses someone else's jade token to confuse the public, just throw them out."
Lu Huai nodded: "Okay."
Although Nan Xiao caused quite a stir, most people's attention was still on the chief disciples.
When Su Yan and his companions stood on the stage, they became a beautiful sight.
Cold, gentle, exiled... Various styles, each different, there is always one that is your favorite.
The female cultivators in the stands were shouting so hard that they were almost losing their voices. It was like a large-scale star-chasing scene.
Nan Xiao took a look and found that the eldest senior brother did not have many fans, and he could not win over the fans of others.
She frowned slightly. How could that be possible?
Her senior brother cannot lose in any aspect.
If there is not enough manpower, talismans will be used.
She immediately took out a few amplified notes and gave them to the senior brother's little fans.
With the help of the amplified notes, the voices of the fans supporting Jiang Xia instantly stood out from the crowd and overwhelmed the other fans.
On the competition stage
Jiang Xia had just finished drawing lots when he heard these voices and stood still.
He stiffly turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
At the front of the stands, a petite figure, with big white teeth and a bright smile, was waving happily at him.
Who else could this person be other than his 'lively' junior sister?
It goes without saying that this is all her fault.
Jiang Xia silently turned his head away, pretending nothing had happened.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being unknown.
…
After Lu Huai registered the names of these people, the Yuanying group competition officially began.
The first round of drawing lots was a bit mysterious. In addition, none of the five direct disciples of Changning Sect had matched up in advance, which made everyone a little disappointed.
Several of them lived up to expectations and advanced to the top five.
After the top ten to six were decided, it was time for the most anticipated battle for the first place.
Jiangxia drew Han Yicheng, the eldest disciple of Changning Sect. Zhou Shiqing and Su Yan played against each other, while Chen Wenxuan was given a bye.
Chen Wenxuan curled his lips and shook the bye sign in his hand. "Oh, excuse me, everyone. I'll go wait for you in the top three. You guys can fight for the fourth and fifth spots."
The expressions of several people froze, and they all wanted to hit him.
Su Yan said sternly, "Junior Brother Chen, don't worry. This ten-thousand-year second-in-command position is still yours."
Zhou Shiqing also said kindly, "Junior Brother Chen has rarely drawn a bye in all these years. It would be nice to make him happy."
Jiang Xia: ""
Each of their little mouths looked like they were filled with poison.
The tension between the few people was known only to Elder Qian who was closest to them. The others who were farther away knew nothing about it.
......
When the result came out, many female cultivators in the stands covered their faces with their hands in pain.
"Ah, Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Su, they are both in my top three. How come they are facing each other in advance? I can't stand either of them losing."
“Me too…”
…….
The first match of the top five is between Jiang Xia and Han Yicheng.
The two men faced off, with Han Yicheng taking the initiative. Holding a spirit sword, he charged towards Jiang Xia with fierce momentum. Jiang Xia remained composed, forming a hand seal. A flash of light flashed, and he dodged the opponent's attack with exquisite agility.
Their reaction speeds were unmatched, dazzling the crowd. After several rounds of fighting, Jiang Xia's spirit sword instantly split into several, attacking Han Yicheng. At such close range, Han Yicheng had no way to dodge all of them, and he was forced to the edge of the field. Meanwhile, Jiang Xia's swords also reunited, and while Han Yicheng was distracted, his spirit sword transformed into a stream of light, striking directly at Han Yicheng's face.
By the time he realized it, he had already lost.
Elder Qian, still with a serious face, announced: "Xiaoyao Sect's Jiang Xia wins."
The people of Xiaoyao Sect started cheering the moment Jiang Xia won.
"Ah... Senior Brother won, Senior Brother is the best..."
In the stands at the back, those who had made a bet with Nan Xiao couldn't stand Nan Xiao's smug look.
He sarcastically said, "Isn't it just luck that you made it into the top three? You haven't even won first place yet, so what's there to be happy about?"
"That's right. Even if he makes it into the top three, no matter who he or Chen Wenxuan faces, they will lose."
"Wait, why Chen Wenxuan? Can't Su Yan be the same?"
The young man said seriously, "I bet on Chen Wenxuan, so of course I hope he wins."
"Su Yan wins..."
""
Originally everyone was united against the outside world, but now they are arguing among themselves over who will win.
Nan Xiao ignored them this time. No matter how much they argued, her senior brother would win in the end anyway.
.....
Meanwhile, the match between Zhou Shiqing and Su Yan also came to an end. Su Yan was now in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and had a slight advantage in realm, suppressing Zhou Shiqing. In the end, Su Yan won.
Jiang Xia and the other two drew lots again, and this time he drew a bye.
Han Yicheng and Zhou Shiqing competed, and Zhou Shiqing won, ranking fourth. Han Yicheng ranked fifth.
Su Yan and Chen Wenxuan were fighting, and the atmosphere between them was extremely tense. They both looked friendly on the surface, but when they really started fighting, they were very ruthless.
Su Yan raised his hand, and a spiritual sword flashing with cold light came out. Chen Wenxuan was not to be outdone, and he pinched his fingers and summoned a spiritual sword as well, with a powerful spiritual pressure.
The two simultaneously activated their spiritual powers, their spiritual swords flying towards each other like arrows from a bow. The two spiritual swords collided in the air, making a sharp sound.
The two fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. The battle entered a white-hot stage, with sword shadows flashing in the field, making people dizzy.
Suddenly, Su Yan spotted an opening, twisted his wrist, and the spirit sword, like a spirit snake, bypassed Chen Wenxuan's defense and pierced his chest. Chen Wenxuan dodged the attack, but his sleeve was cut.
The battle between the strong changes rapidly. In just a few breaths, the two went from being evenly matched to Su Yan suppressing Chen Wenxuan until he forced him off the stage.
A smile finally broke out on Elder Qian's serious face. He loudly announced, "Su Yan of the Heavenly Sword Sect wins."
Everyone on the stage exclaimed that it was wonderful:
"Su Yan, my eternal God."
"The competitions taught by the instructors themselves are wonderful. One of their moves is enough for me to learn for a lifetime."
Someone beside him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you must learn to accept your mediocrity."
"Although what you said makes sense, it is also very heartbreaking."
