Li Xuri stood up and said: "Take my token and go to Verdant Peak. The people from the Second and Third Halls should be there as well."
"Yes."
Three Thousand Light and Xiao Yang took the token and walked out of the hall, heading towards Verdant Peak.
This time, there were only eight contestants participating in the Three Halls Competition.
Two from the First Hall, three from the Second and Third Halls.
There were only a dozen or so people who came to watch the show.
The Sect Master, the Vice Sect Master, several Elders, and the Three Hall Masters.
Other than that, there was no one else.
In previous years, the competition had been so quiet.
However, the scenes of their battles would be recorded and spread throughout the Jigō Sect.
Therefore, the competition between the three halls could be considered the most lively event in the sect.
Every disciple of the Jigō Sect wanted to leave their names in history and participate in the competition. At the very least, their names and glory would be passed down.
Verdant Peak.
Xiao Yang and Three Thousand Light had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Just as they were about to go up the mountain, they were stopped.
The strength of the people who stopped them was not to be underestimated. The weakest among them was Wu Zun's seventh rank.
"Please show me your token."
These unfathomable powerhouses glanced at Three Thousand Light and Xiao Yang and said indifferently.
The people who appeared on Verdant Peak were all important figures of the Jigō Sect. At this critical moment, of course, they couldn't just let people go up casually. If something went wrong, it would be a great loss to the Sect. They couldn't afford to lose.
Three Thousand Light and Xiao Yang both showed their tokens. After being checked by the powerhouses, they began to climb the mountain.
This mountain was also a test.
There were ten thousand steps from the foot of the mountain to the top.
The higher they went, the stronger the pressure and the greater the pressure.
If that was all, it wouldn't be a big deal. Anyone with a cultivation of Wu Zun's seventh or eighth rank could resist this pressure.
But the important problem was that the path was full of formations and taboos, and even traps.
If they accidentally touched a trap, they might be in danger. The same was true for taboos and formations.
This test wasn't just about one's cultivation level.
Xiao Yang glanced at San Qianguang. Seeing San Qianguang's solemn expression, he could not help but comfort him, "Senior Brother San Qianguang, there's no need for that. I know a thing or two about formations, taboos, and even mechanisms. Why don't you come with me?"
Three Thousand Light specialized in cultivation methods and martial skills. He only had a rough understanding of these things, so he felt that it was difficult.
If he hadn't focused on cultivation methods and martial skills, his cultivation wouldn't have risen so quickly.
The reason why Xiao Yang was so proficient in so many things was because of what he had seen and heard in his previous life.
"Alright, then Senior Brother won't stand on ceremony."
Three Thousand Lights responded and heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yang walked in front while the Three Thousand Lights followed behind.
Because Xiao Yang could see the flaws in the formation and restriction at a glance, he was able to dodge them easily.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, they were already halfway up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, they saw three people.
Judging from their attire, they were from the Second Palace.
"Hey, you guys are from the First Palace?"
One of the burly men shouted loudly. His face was full of arrogance, and his eyes were full of contempt.
One had to know that in the previous competitions between the three palaces, the First Palace was always at the bottom.
In the last competition between the three palaces, the representative of the First Palace couldn't even reach the top of the mountain. It was a joke in the Jigō Sect. Even Li Xuri was reprimanded and punished by the Sect Leader and Elders.
"That's right, we are. I'm Xiao Yang, and this is my Senior Brother Three Thousand Lights."
Xiao Yang replied indifferently.
Although they belonged to different palaces, they were all from the Jigō Sect, so there was no need to treat them as enemies.
Moreover, if they won this competition between the three palaces, they would have to lead the people from the Jigō Sect to the South Pole City, including the people from the Second Palace and the Third Palace. It was best not to offend them.
"Hmph, I'm Long Guanghai, and these two are my Junior Sisters, Lin Shiyin and Lin Shiya."
Then they bowed to each other.
No matter what kind of opponent they were, at least they had to do this on the surface.
After bowing, Long Guanghai said sarcastically, "The First Palace is really bold, daring to send people to participate. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Junior Sisters, let's go, there's no need to be long-winded with them."
Long Guanghai continued to lead them up.
This person is so arrogant.
Xiao Yang thought to himself.
Three Thousand Lights also thought the same. It was definitely because the other party was arrogant and conceited.
Anyone with a bit of ability would probably be like this.
The two continued to walk up the mountain.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, they had far surpassed Long Guanghai, Lin Shiyin, and Lin Shiya.
This made Long Guanghai feel very embarrassed.
When they first met, he looked down on the other party. Now that the other party had left him in the dust, where could he put his face?
Moreover, this was in front of two beautiful Junior Sisters.
"Hey, why are you walking so fast? Aren't you waiting for someone?"
Long Guanghai shouted with an unfriendly face.
Xiao Yang and Three Thousand Lights stopped in their tracks and looked at Long Guanghai and the other two in surprise.
In their impression, there was no need to wait for someone to climb the mountain. Otherwise, why did it take them half a cup of tea's time to catch up with them?
Then they released their Divine Sense and saw the disciples of the Third Palace far in front of them.
Xiao Yang said in surprise, "Senior Brother Long Guanghai, the Third Palace's Senior Brothers are all in front of us. If they were waiting for someone, why didn't they stop?"
This immediately made Long Guanghai speechless.
The ranking of this mountain climb was actually related to the exchange of pointers.
The first person to climb the mountain would definitely fall into the eyes of the Sect Master, Elders, and Palace Masters and would have a good impression of them.
The last person to climb the mountain would only be looked down upon.
Besides, being the first to climb the mountain meant that they were capable.
Those who were capable would press forward fearlessly and have the same momentum as before. In the following competition, they would be unstoppable.
Therefore, the Second and Third Palace's Senior Brothers were not willing to be the last to climb the mountain.
This was why they stopped Xiao Yang.
Long Guanghai hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Xiao Yang, Junior Brother Three Thousand Lights, how about we go up together?"
He could be considered to have compromised.
Originally, he was not willing to go with Xiao Yang and Three Thousand Lights, and he thought that he would be faster than them.
But from the looks of it, if this trend continued, they would definitely fall behind.
"Senior Brother Long Guanghai, the Third Palace's Senior Brothers are in front, why don't you call them?"
Xiao Yang responded.
Then he ignored Long Guanghai and continued to climb the mountain.
Seeing the two walking up, Long Guanghai was anxious and angry. He snorted and gritted his teeth to catch up.
