He felt that Tianning must have never seen such a good thing before!
"A good dog doesn't block the way." Tian Ning ignored him and simply pushed him aside.
Those thin arms didn't look very strong, but Xie Xingzhi was actually pushed away by a little girl. He couldn't save face, so he could only raise his voice and say to Tian Ning, "What kind of thing is that your senior sister gave you? It's nothing compared to what Senior Sister Xue'er gave me!"
Tianning pouted: "How childish."
The competition was to end in one day. Because there were many participants in the early stages, twenty arenas were specially prepared to speed things up, with twenty groups competing at the same time. Later, when there were fewer participants, the arena was changed to a single arena.
When Tianning went on stage to compete, some of her disciples started saying that she got in through connections.
"Why do you say that junior sister got in through connections?" one disciple asked, puzzled.
The outer disciple who had been leading the charge, seeing the crowd gathering around him and thinking about the spirit stones he had received, immediately continued energetically: "If you ask the newly recruited junior brothers and sisters, you'll know that this junior sister named Tian Ning didn't even participate in the selection of new disciples! Yet she is one of the new disciples of this year."
"The reason is simple: she is a descendant of the Wenren family who was stranded in the mortal realm. Feeling guilty, the Wenren family specially brought her back and provided her with everything she needed for clothing, food, shelter, and transportation."
"But she was an insatiable person. Despite having no talent for cultivation, she greedily wanted to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Taking advantage of the Wen family's guilt towards her, she asked them to help her get into the sect through connections. Under such circumstances, how could our upright Sect Leader Xiao agree? If it weren't for the Wen family head's shameless plea in the end, the Sect Leader wouldn't have had no choice but to send her to the Sword Protection Mountain..."
"The reason she went to Protect the Sword Mountain and hung out with those good-for-nothings was because of this. Her so-called status as a direct disciple was just a favor that Headmaster Xiao gave to the Wen family."
Tianning: "..."
What a fabrication! If Tianning hadn't been the person involved herself, she would have believed this person's nonsense.
The arena where Tianning was located was very close to the person who spread the rumors, so much so that her opponent heard everything. As a spirited young man, he hated this backdoor dog immensely!
The man drew his sword with unwavering confidence: "Today I'll show you the price a piece of trash pays for using connections!"
Tianning: "..."
This disciple wasn't part of the group that went to the secret realm last time. The Myriad Swords Sect sent relatively few people that time, as they were mostly sword cultivators and not particularly interested in spiritual plants. Therefore, not many people stood up for Tian Ning this time.
Tianning was speechless and just wanted to end this boring match as soon as possible.
She took out the bag of talismans that her second senior brother had drawn for her and casually threw a handful at her opponent, as if they were free and didn't care at all.
'Boom boom boom—'
A massive explosion reverberated throughout the stadium.
Xie Xingzhi, who was still stylishly dealing with his opponent and using the unique sword technique newly taught by his master—the Phantom Without a Trace—frowned and couldn't help but look in the direction of the explosion.
The girl with two little pigtails was seen idly throwing explosive tags at her opponent.
Tian Ning turned her head and happened to meet Xie Xingzhi's gaze. She suddenly smiled and threw out a large handful of explosive talismans: "Oh dear, look at what your senior sister gave you! You still have to fight so hard yourself. My second senior brother gave me a mustard seed bag full of talismans!"
Xie Xingzhi: "..."
Who is being childish?
How could she have the nerve to call him childish!
Tianning successfully advanced to the next round, but it was a pity for their opponent.
Tian Ning continued to cast spells, and compared to the various injuries suffered by others in the competition, she didn't even break a sweat; at most, her hands were a little sore.
"How...how can you be so shameless? If you're so capable, don't use talismans! If you're a sword cultivator, then take a sword and fight me one-on-one!"
This opponent I'm facing has some brains; they've learned to talk big.
