Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 102: Chapter 92 Xiaobi

"A arena match?" Liu Suiyun suddenly became dispirited. "Can we change to a more interesting way? Am I going to bully people now?"

The arena match is the most savage and easiest to manipulate competition system. Although this kind of competition system that relies on brute force seems very fair, in actual operation, there are too many tricks.

Not to mention anything else, just the arrangement of the competition schedule is enough to kill people. For example, in the entrance competition of the Shenxiao Sect two years ago, a descendant of a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the main sect miraculously had five consecutive byes. When everyone was exhausted from fighting, he waited leisurely and easily passed.

There are also some real strong players who are arranged to constantly fight each other in the same group. In order to avoid the situation of two strong players competing, even both players compete to admit defeat first in an attempt to hide in the loser's bracket to avoid the real strong players. As for things like arena cultivators who specialize in arena battles, Jinglong Baohai Pills that specifically temporarily increase combat power, and even scandals of collecting spirit stones to solve your opponents for you are all common occurrences.

There is even such a cultivator. Every time the Shenxiao Sect holds an arena match for the entrance competition, he will definitely participate. No matter whether he wins or loses against an opponent, he has to pay spirit stones to him. Otherwise, he will do his best to fight you to a draw, making you only look forward to the next round of promotion competition even if you win.

But Liu Suiyun finds arena matches very boring. However, Guo Huijun soon told him a not bad piece of good news: "But this year's grouping is said to be fairer. For this reason, a small pre-competition is organized. Participation is voluntary. The winners of the small competition can be given certain preferential treatment in the schedule arrangement!"

Liu Suiyun has seen many storms. He immediately said, "Given certain preferential treatment? What kind of preferential treatment exactly? It must be implemented. How can it work if it's not made clear!"

He is very confident in obtaining a good position in the small pre-competition, but the problem is that this will expose his trump card.

He even suspects that this small competition may be a conspiracy specifically arranged by some people in the Shenxiao Sect. After asking Guo Huijun, he found that there is no real good benefit in this small competition. Cultivators participating in the entrance competition can choose not to participate in the small competition, and the results of the small competition cannot be carried over to the major competition.

The only benefit of the small competition is preferential treatment in ranking. But the biggest problem is that no matter what, there will always be some real strong players in the small competition. At that time, everyone's trump cards, special skills, and even fighting styles will be exposed, and those who pretend to be weak and then surprise will take great advantages in the major competition.

Guo Huijun also hasn't made up her mind: "Yes, many female cultivators also say so. But they said that this small competition is presided over by Teacher Shan Yunping. Maybe it will be better."

"Presided over by Teacher Shan Yunping?" As soon as Liu Suiyun heard this name, he immediately changed his mind. "Is it really presided over by Teacher Shan? I've decided to participate in the small competition!"

Guo Huijun replied, "Who is this Immortal Master Shan Yunping? I see that many female cultivators admire him very much."

Liu Suiyun has heard the name Shan Yunping many times. This rising star of the Shenxiao Sect is always very humane and family-oriented. And he has an advantage, that is, he never looks down on others. Although he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, when interacting with Qi Refining cultivators or even Qi-inducting cultivators, he has no condescending attitude but treats them as his true friends.

When Liu Suiyun was in Jiazhou market, he had planned to attend a sermon meeting of Shan Yunping. The small cultivators present all said that Immortal Master Shan always only teaches real skills and has the highest cost-effectiveness. But Shan Yunping didn't come for some reason. In the end, it was the little Immortal Master Shen Que'er who came to preach.

After hearing many anecdotes about Shan Yunping, Liu Suiyun naturally developed a good impression of this rising star of the Shenxiao Sect. He had originally planned to interact more with him after entering the Shenxiao Sect. Now hearing that Shan Yunping is presiding over this small competition, he feels that this small competition only has benefits and no disadvantages for him.

Because it's Shan Yunping!

Liu Suiyun feels in his heart that since a very humane cultivator is presiding over the small competition, then he should participate. "Shan Yunping is a good person..."

After listening to Liu Suiyun carefully recounting many past events of Shan Yunping, Guo Huijun was also relieved. "Since Shan Yunping is presiding over the small competition, then let's go. But before that, you have to recover to the later stage of Qi Refining at least..."

"So before you enter the Shenxiao Sect, you are not allowed to touch even a finger of mine!"

But Liu Suiyun gently touched Guo Huijun's slender finger. "I know. I'll touch ten fingers!"

However, in these few days before the small competition, Liu Suiyun was indeed fully focused on cultivation. When he had free time, he would chat with Guo Huijun and Make a gesture by the way. As a result, he recovered his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

But when he looked at the arena of this small competition, his ninth level of Qi Refining was simply not enough to look at!

There are not many cultivators participating in the small competition. Every time there are at least five or six hundred Qi Refining cultivators participating in the entrance ceremony. Sometimes there are as many as several thousand. But only seventy or eighty people participate in the small competition. Moreover, those cultivators with the strongest strength often do not participate in such small competitions and are ready to pretend to be weak and then surprise.

You should know that the results of the small competition cannot be carried over to the major competition. Even if you get first place in the small competition but fail in the major competition, all previous efforts will be wasted. Among the seventy or eighty cultivators participating in the small competition, there are all kinds of people.

Some people are afraid that others won't know their cultivation levels. They send two attendants to hang two flags beside them: "Thirteenth level of Qi Refining, flying sword quasi-Foundation Establishment." Others are more insidious. They keep saying, "Little brother has just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining. I'm here to gain some experience." But discerning people can tell at a glance that this guy is already a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Some people, in order to confuse the cultivators who will fight against them, simply set up a small stall and sell flying boots there: "Selling cheaply! Selling cheaply! The black heart boss ran away with his mistress and three thousand spirit stones. The workers can't get half a penny of wages. There is a batch of flying boots in the workshop warehouse. They have to be sold off. Flying boots that originally cost two hundred spirit stones or one hundred spirit stones now only cost fifteen spirit stones, fifteen spirit stones..."

But none of the goods here are easy to deceive. Even if some cultivators plan to pretend to lose in the small competition, they are also determined to pretend to be weak and then surprise. Liu Suiyun feels that among these sixty or seventy cultivators, more than half have stronger cultivation than him. Among them, there are many cultivators at the great accomplishment stage of Qi Refining or even quasi-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It's really a place full of hidden talents. Fortunately, there is this Heavenly Tear Starfall Sword. Therefore, Liu Suiyun is also without fear and is ready to participate in the competition. But before that, a deacon disciple of the Shenxiao Sect has already run over: "Stand still! Stand still! Stand still! The protector is coming!"

Cultivators are all experienced people. As soon as these deacon disciples in white clothes appeared, they immediately stood in several rows obediently. Soon, a cultivator in his sixties appeared in front of everyone with a smile accompanied by several Foundation Establishment cultivators. Immediately, a fairly beautiful female cultivator sent a bouquet of flowers: "Welcome Immortal Master Fu to attach importance to disciple selection and take the trouble to inspect the competition site!"

Immortal Master Fu is at least at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level. He looks to be in his sixties, but his actual age should be much older. He greeted a group of cultivators but was not in a hurry. Immediately, an arranged young disciple came out to preside over: "Now let's welcome Immortal Master Fu to give important instructions on the selection of disciples of our sect with the warmest applause!"

Warm applause rang out, it was really thunderous. Immortal Master Fu was very satisfied. He cleared his throat on the arena: "All the heroes from all directions who have come from all over the world. Today we gather at Shenxiao Mountain and grandly hold the preliminary entrance test. This is another milestone in the disciple selection cause of our sect. It is another victory achieved by the fourth-generation disciples of our sect under the leadership of all the True Monarchs, Yuan Monarchs, and True Persons and under the personal guidance of the sect leader..."

Even though the cultivators below have been through many battles, seeing the thick speech manuscript in Immortal Master Fu's hand, many people whispered: "Oh my god, how long will this take!"

"In this disciple selection, we adopt the method of the sect leader personally grasping, each hall focusing on grasping, grasping at different levels and implementing it to individuals. We have achieved excellent results. In particular, the way of grasping with both hands and making both hands hard has received unanimous praise from all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs..."

Immortal Master Fu didn't understand the eagerness of these cultivators to participate in the small competition at all. He continued to talk endlessly. And the disciples below already had someone answering: "You are ignorant. At most, it will be over in an hour and a half! You should know that in the formal sect grand competition of the Shenxiao Sect, several Nascent Soul True Monarchs and more than a dozen Golden Elixir cultivators take turns to speak. It will take two days and two nights to start the sect grand competition!"

"Why?"

"Who makes Nascent Soul cultivators live long? Living to a thousand years old, the older they get, the more sophisticated they become!" That cultivator obviously knew everything about the affairs in the sect very well: "If Nascent Soul cultivators can't step down, then their treatment can't be reduced. Every time there is a grand competition, if you dare not let Nascent Soul cultivators say a few words, then rumors will spread! As for Golden Elixir cultivators, they are in their prime. If they don't come on stage and say something, either they are expelled from the sect by Nascent Soul True Monarchs or they go crazy..."

Finally, this Qi Refining cultivator in the later stage who knew all the inside information said: "Like this Immortal Master Fu, he should be someone who doesn't get a chance to speak in the formal sect grand competition and can only speak in the small preliminary competition!"

Immortal Master Fu spoke for half an hour and was very Have fun. Only then did he declare the end amid applause. But soon some energetic Foundation Establishment cultivators stood up and lectured the disciples below. It seems that they also didn't get a chance to speak in the sect grand competition and had to brush up their presence in such a small competition.

But their speeches were much shorter. As expected, a little more than an hour later, the speeches of the sect cultivators of the Shenxiao Sect finally came to an end. Shan Yunping was efficient in handling affairs: "The competition begins!"

Liu Suiyun's first opponent is an extremely flamboyant cultivator in the later stage of Qi Refining. His whole body is full of precious light. Before even coming on stage, he said to Liu Suiyun: "Pretty boy, I am a second-generation immortal. Just admit defeat directly!"
