Everyone entered the house. For a moment, they all fell into deep thought. As Jing Feng had just been taught a lesson by Hong Yu, he sat on the chair and thought about something when he saw that everyone was silent.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ning Guangzi, who was sitting in the second seat, suddenly said,""Senior Brother, today, Venerable White Crane treated our Tiandao Sect like this. What do you think will happen in tomorrow's competition?”
" Mm…I don't know either. Master told us to listen to Martial Uncle White Crane's orders, but I'm afraid that our Heavenly Dao Sect and Profound Heart Sect have been holding grudges for a long time, and Martial Uncle White Crane will deliberately make things difficult for us this time. If that happens, we'll be in a dangerous situation."
"Right now, the most important thing is the competition in three days. If one of us manages to make it into the top four, then we will at least have some initiative.”Ning Yunzi analyzed.
"En, senior brother is right. If one of us can get into the top four, then we will at least have the right to lead a group. This way, we can at least ensure that we can return to Tiandao Sect safely.”Ning Guangzi thought carefully about Ning Yunzi's words and agreed.
"But it won't be easy to get into the top four. As far as I know, Ze Quan and Ze Yun from the Profound Heart Sect, Mo Yan from the Immortal Sword Sect, and Kong Yu from the Peerless Sect have all cultivated to the early-stage Crossing Calamity. They are the strong contenders for the top four this time. Moreover, the Immortal Sword Sect's offensive power is very strong. Even if they are at the mid-stage Great Dao, our chances of winning are not high.”Ning Yunzi said helplessly.
"Sigh! We can only hope for a miracle. Alright, I've decided that all four of you will participate in the competition tomorrow, except for Jing Feng. I believe that with everyone's determination, a miracle will definitely happen.”Ning Yunzi shook his head and bitterly said.
"But Senior Brother, I also want to participate in the competition. I won't embarrass you.”Jing Feng begged.
"Jing Feng, don't mess around. The quality of this competition will directly affect whether we can safely return to Tiandao Sect in the future, so you can't participate.”Ning Yunzi berated.
"But Senior Brother, I also know the importance of this competition. I want to do my part, so please let me participate.”Jing Feng begged bitterly.
"No!" Ning Yunzi said firmly.
Seeing Ning Yunzi's determined expression, Jing Feng lost his temper and sat on the chair without saying anything.
Hong Yu saw Jing Feng's expression and knew that he was brooding over Profound Heart Sect's rudeness and wanted to avenge Tiandao Sect. However, Jing Feng had just reached the late-stage Leaving Aperture realm and lacked battle experience…Suddenly, the scene of Jing Feng at the Cliff of Heaven Dao appeared in Hong Yu's mind. Hong Yu thought about it carefully and decided to give Jing Feng the chance to participate in this competition.
"Senior Brother, I won't be participating in the competition. Let Jing Feng take my place." Hong Yu said slowly.”
When Jing Feng heard that Hong Yu wanted to give him the opportunity to participate in the competition, his heart warmed and he looked at Hong Yu gratefully.
"No, Junior Sister Hong Yu, I don't agree. You know the importance of this competition.”Ning Yunzi said loudly.
"Senior Brother Ning Yunzi, there's a reason why I asked Jing Feng to replace me in the competition. Firstly, if we were all injured during the competition, do you think Jing Feng would be able to handle the aftermath of our injuries? Second, Senior Brother, have you forgotten what happened at the Cliff of Heavenly Dao? Even our immortal beast guarding the mountain couldn't hurt Jing Feng. I think Jing Feng must have his own strengths. I think Jing Feng is more suitable than me.”Hong Yu said firmly.
Ning Yunzi carefully thought about what Hong Yu said and nodded."What Junior Sister Hongyu said makes sense. Alright then, Jingfeng, you will replace Junior Sister Hongyu in the competition. Jing Feng, remember, you must pay attention to your safety. Don't worry about winning or losing. Face the competition in three days with a calm heart, understand?”
"Yes, Senior Brother. I understand." Jing Feng said excitedly.
"Alright, everyone, go back and rest. Get your spirits up and prepare for the competition in three days.”Ning Yunzi took a deep breath and said.
Jing Feng and the others returned to their own rooms to cultivate.
Jing Feng, who had returned to his room, could not calm down for a long time. Thinking about how Hong Yu had spoken up for him and asked him to replace her in the competition, Jing Feng decided that he would not let Hong Yu down.
However, because it was Jing Feng's first time participating in a competition, he was not calm. Jing Feng decided to look for Hong Yu to thank her in person and ask her for her experience.
Jing Feng quietly came to the house where Hong Yu lived. He gently knocked on the door and said in a low voice,"Senior Sister Hong Yu, I'm Jing Feng. Can I come in?”
When Hong Yu heard that it was Jing Feng, her heart also jumped. However, she said coldly,"What's the matter?"
" Senior Sister, can I come in and talk?" Jing Feng asked softly.
Hong Yu thought for a moment and said,"Come in."”
Jing Feng gently pushed the door open and entered. He saw the beautiful Hong Yu sitting on the edge of the bed. Her hair was not tied up like before, but was scattered over her shoulders. Jing Feng was momentarily stunned.
"Junior Brother Jing Feng, why are you looking for me?”Hong Yu saw Jing Feng looking at her in a daze and felt her face heat up a little. She quickly asked.
When Jing Feng heard Hong Yu ask him, he knew that he had lost his composure just now. He blushed and said to Hong Yu,"I came here today to thank Senior Sister for giving me her spot and speaking up for me.”
"Just for this. You don't have to thank me for this. I just said that I think you're more suitable for the competition than me, so I gave it to you. I don't have any other intentions.”Hong Yu said emotionlessly.
When Jing Feng heard what Hong Yu said, he felt a chill in his heart. However, he mustered up his courage and asked,"Senior Sister, can I ask you for some competition experience? Why did you release your spirit beasts when you were fighting with others? How did you get your spirit beasts?”
"Mm ~ Didn't Martial Uncle Ling Ku tell you? "When we summon a spirit beast in battle, the spirit beast can help us in battle. Moreover, when we use our moves, we can fuse the spirit beast's spiritual qi, and the power of our moves will also increase greatly. The spirit beasts we obtained were all subdued by chance. Just like my Fire Dragon Soul, I followed my master down the mountain and subdued it at the mouth of a volcano. At that time, this fire dragon was fighting with a fire lizard. It was severely injured by the fire lizard's poisonous fire and was on its last breath. My master and I worked together to kill the fire lizard and save this fire dragon. However, because this fire dragon's physical body was too heavily injured, it could only abandon its physical body. In order to repay us for killing the fire lizard, it voluntarily fused into my spiritual whip. Under the effect of the powerful spiritual energy of the Fire Dragon Soul, my spirit whip was upgraded from a low-grade spirit weapon to a high-grade spirit weapon.”Hong Yu explained to Jing Feng in detail.
Jing Feng thought to himself,"When will I be able to tame a powerful spirit beast? Wouldn't that make the Dragon Subduing Wood even more powerful?"”In fact, Jing Feng did not know that once a Spirit Beast was subdued, it would lose all freedom and become one with the Spirit Tool for all eternity. Once the Spirit Tool was destroyed, the Spirit Beast would also die.
"Then Senior Sister, can you teach me some battle experience? I suddenly lost confidence in the competition in three days. "Jing Feng said sincerely.
"Battle experience is something that we slowly accumulate through our confrontations. This can only be understood and cannot be explained in words. When you fight more in the future, you will slowly comprehend it.”Hong Yu explained.
"Thank you, Senior Sister. I understand." Jing Feng said happily.
"Alright, Jing Feng, I'm going to cultivate. You should go back and prepare for the competition in three days. Remember, protect yourself." After saying that, Hong Yu blushed slightly.
Hearing Hong Yu's concern, Jing Feng said happily,"Thank you for your concern, senior sister. I'll go back now.”
Three days later, at the arena.
The three Perfected Ones, their disciples, Jing Feng, and the other three had all gathered at the Profound Heart Sect's arena. The entire arena was divided into four arenas that were three meters tall. In order to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy, each arena had set up a defensive boundary on the periphery.
The 16 disciples who had been selected for the competition stood in a row below the stage. They were Ze Quan and Ze Yun from the Profound Heart Sect. Ze Han. Ze Ying, Mo Yan, Mo Wen, Mo Han, and Mo Tian of the Immortal Sword Sect. Kong Ling, Kong Yu, and Kong Lan from the Peerless Sect. Empty Moon. Tiandao Sect's Ning Yun, Ming Yu, Ning Guang, and Jing Feng. Among them, Ze Quan and Ze Yun from the Profound Heart Sect, Mo Yan from the Immortal Sword Sect, and Kong Yu from the Peerless Sect had all reached the early Dujie stage. They were favored by everyone and were strong contenders for the top four positions. As for Jing Feng and the others from the Heavenly Dao Sect, they were not favored by everyone.
Immortal White Crane stood on the stage and said loudly,""The devil path is very arrogant now and has repeatedly attacked my cultivation mountain. In order to deal a heavy blow to the devil path, I have decided to officially launch a direct attack on the devil path and return a peaceful cultivation world to us cultivators. The purpose of today's martial arts competition is to select a group of outstanding disciples to complete an important task, a task that concerns whether we can deal a heavy blow to the Devil Dao. Alright, I won't say anything more. The martial arts competition begins now.”
Daoist Master Green Wave stood up from his chair and announced the rules of the competition. The competition was a single-round elimination competition. The sixteen people drew lots and divided into four groups to compete. After the top four were decided, the top two would be decided by drawing lots for the finals. No one is allowed to take his life during the competition. A player who was knocked out of the field or lying on the ground was judged to have admitted defeat.
After drawing lots, Jing Feng's opponent for the first round was Ze Han from the Profound Heart Sect. Ning Yunzi against the Peerless Sect's Kongyue, Mingyu against the Immortal Sword Sect's Mo Yan, and Ning Guangzi against the Profound Heart Sect's Ze Ying.
Jing Feng's first match was arranged to be held in the second round's north arena. Ning Yunzi versus Kongyue and Mingyu versus Mo Yan were arranged for the third match. Only Ning Guangzi and Profound Heart Sect's Ze Ying were arranged to fight in the first round's eastern arena.
Since only Ning Guangzi was competing in the first round, Jing Feng and the other three came to the east field to cheer for Ning Guangzi. Below the arena in the eastern arena, the Profound Heart Sect's disciples who were spectating the battle were all standing there. Jing Feng and the others stood amongst them, appearing extremely tiny.
With a " dong " sound, the match began. Ning Guangzi and Ze Ying bowed to each other, and the Sword and Fairy Sect's Perfected Sword Light, who was supervising the battle, signaled that the match could begin.
The two of them took out their weapons at the same time and faced each other from afar. Both sides wanted to use their powerful auras to suppress each other.
"Bang bang!" Ze Ying was forced back two steps by Ning Guangzi's aura. Clearly, there was still a gap between their cultivation levels.
Seeing the difference in power, Ze Ying decided to strike first and gain the upper hand. "Phew!" A purple light shone from Ze Ying's body. Ze Ying had used the Profound Heart Sect's supreme cultivation method, the Purple Meridian Heart Sutra, to penetrate his entire body.
"Purple Qi from the East." Ze Ying attacked first, turning into a purple shadow and attacking Ning Guangzi.
Ze Ying's spirit sword released a ball of purple spirit mist and shot towards Ning Guangzi.
Ning Guangzi was indeed a cultivation genius of Tiandao Sect. His adaptability and combat ability were far better than Ze Ying's. Ning Guangzi suddenly leaped into the air and flashed past the purple mist. He raised the Six Demon Snake Sword in his hand, and true energy covered his entire body as he turned into a bolt of lightning and shot toward Ze Ying on the stage.
"Pa, pa, pa!" Ning Guangzi instantly stabbed 21 times, forcing Ze Ying to dodge and retreat.
Ning Guangzi suddenly took a step back.”Ning Guangzi used the first move of the Great Dao Mystic Finger mental cultivation method. Ning Guangzi turned into shadows and surrounded Ze Ying. These shadows attacked at the same time and slashed at the flustered Ze Ying.
"Bang!" Ze Ying was struck down from the stage by Ning Guangzi's sword. Because Ning Guangzi had shown mercy and retracted his ling power in time, Ze Ying only suffered some light injuries.
"Ning Guangzi of Tiandao Sect has won," announced Perfected Sword Light.”
Seeing Ning Guangzi's easy victory, the spectating Profound Heart Sect disciples let out a long hiss.
"Senior Brother, you're amazing. It's so satisfying to make the Profound Heart Sect look down on you. Hahaha!" Jing Feng ignored the hostile gazes around him and laughed wildly.
Ning Yunzi frowned and said," Alright, Jing Feng. Don't spout nonsense. Go and prepare yourself. It's your turn to go next." You have to be careful in the end. The Profound Heart Sect's Ze Han has already cultivated to the late-stage Great Dao realm. Furthermore, his battle experience far exceeds yours. If you mock the Profound Heart Sect like this, be careful that the Profound Heart Sect's Ze Han will take revenge on you in the competition. If you really can't do it, admit defeat, understand?”
"Understood, Senior Brother." Jing Feng replied indifferently.”
The first match soon ended. The Profound Heart Sect's Ze Quan, the Immortal World Sect's Mo Wen, the Peerless Sect's Kong Yu, and the Heavenly Dao Sect's Ning Shizi had successfully entered the second round.
