"Another first place. Now there are only three first places left. Then I'll be able to complete the seventh stage of the 'All-Around Champion' mission, the 'Decathlon'!"
Qin Shaofeng was very happy when he won the first place in the breeding competition.
Qin Shaofeng's total score had reached 29 points, and he was now in first place.
Prince Ling was in a bad mood, but he still comforted himself. "It's okay. This is only a competition with a maximum score of 5 points. There will be a competition with a maximum score of 10 points later. I don't believe that Qin Shaofeng can defy the heavens and win first place every time!"
Qin Shaofeng certainly couldn't win first place every time. For example, in the last competition with a maximum score of 5 points, Qin Shaofeng didn't have the confidence to win first place. He didn't even have the confidence to be in the top three.
This was because the last competition with a maximum score of 5 points was a competition of making jade talismans!
Jade talismans were very common in the Ancient Holy Realm. Not only in the Ancient Holy Realm, but even in some small planes, jade talismans were very common.
There were three types of jade talismans. The first type was used to record information, such as cultivation methods, martial skills, or other special information.
Under normal circumstances, using this type of jade talisman to record information was not only convenient to store, but it could also be stored for a long time.
The second type of jade talisman was the more common communication jade talisman. It could allow people who were relatively far away to communicate with each other. Many disciples of big forces had some special communication jade talismans. They could ask for help from the forces they were in at critical times.
The third type of jade talisman was more special.
This type of jade talisman was a one-time item, but it could also explode with various kinds of power.
In advance, some powerful moves would be engraved into a specially made consumable jade talisman. Then, it could be handed over to others. As long as they activated it with a little bit of strength, they would be able to explode with the powerful moves injected into the jade talisman.
However, this type of jade talisman was very rare. This was because it took a lot of effort to make a consumable jade talisman. Most importantly, the moves injected into it required a lot of energy.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of consumable jade talisman was used as a trump card.
Of course, if it was a disciple from a relatively wealthy sect, he might have a pile of such jade talismans on him!
There was once a female disciple of the Jiang Family who ran into trouble when she went out.
At that time, the cultivation of this female disciple of the Jiang Family was only at the initial stage of the Nirvana Realm. It seemed that she had sneaked out without the protection of the Jiang Family experts.
Then, they met a group of bandits. Although the female disciple of the Jiang family was young, she was very beautiful, so the leader of the bandits was tempted.
Under normal circumstances, it would be unfortunate for a newly ascended Nirvana Realm cultivator to face a bandit group with hundreds of bandits with more than a dozen Sovereigns among them, with the strongest being a third-level Supreme Sovereign.
But in reality, that was not the case!
Although the female disciple of the Jiang Clan did not have any Jiang Clan experts by her side, she had a pile of jade talismans with her.
Faced with the bandits' dirty thoughts, the female disciple of the Jiang Family used a large number of jade talismans to cripple the bandits.
The few bandits who managed to escape were also killed by the Jiang Family experts who rushed over in time.
Therefore, it was not very special that the jade talismans were listed as a five-point competition in the All-rounded Competition.
However, this was not the case for Qin Shaofeng.
This was because he had never refined jade talismans before. The only thing he had refined were some communication jade talismans.
"This shouldn't be difficult! Refining jade talismans shouldn't be too different from refining weapons! "
With this thought in mind, Qin Shaofeng participated in this competition.
And the result?
Needless to say, Qin Shaofeng would definitely not be able to get first place.
Qin Shaofeng soon discovered that refining jade talismans and refining weapons were two completely different things.
Qin Shaofeng's refining techniques were completely done by preparing the materials and throwing them into the refining furnace. Then, he directly used the alchemy fire to smelt them.
During the smelting process, he just had to inject a few divine inscriptions.
Finally, the refining was a success!
Well, in Qin Shaofeng's opinion, refining jade talismans was the same way.
However, in fact, it was not like this.
Refining jade talismans, especially the consumption of jade talismans, had to be pulled out before the refining process and then carefully refined until the jade talismans could withstand the infusion of moves.
After these conditions were met, one could start to prepare the moves and inject them into the jade talismans.
During this process, one had to be very careful. Otherwise, the jade talismans would explode or collapse if they were not careful. Then, they would fail directly.
Therefore, in Qin Shaofeng's opinion, refining jade talismans was a troublesome thing.
In the end, after Qin Shaofeng tried his best, not only did he not get first place, but he also did not even make it to the top three.
Even the final ninth place was a fluke. Otherwise, Qin Shaofeng would not even make it to the top ten.
The result of ninth place was Qin Shaofeng's result in refining jade talismans.
In this competition, Qin Shaofeng only got one point!
Well, in addition to the previous 29 points, it was exactly 30 points!
Under such circumstances, the first place that Qin Shaofeng just sat firmly on was snatched away by Prince Ling.
In the previous four competitions, Prince Ling only got two second places and two third places.
The two third places were after the Qilin Young Master bled. Prince Ling had no choice but to be overtaken. Otherwise, he would have gotten four second places.
This was somewhat in line with his eternal second place position.
Two second places and two third places gave Prince Ling 14 points. In addition to the previous 13 points, before the jade talisman competition started, Prince Ling's total score was 27 points, which was 2 points behind Qin Shaofeng.
However, after the jade talisman competition ended, Prince Ling's score surpassed Qin Shaofeng's and soared to 32 points!
That's right, in this jade talisman competition, Prince Ling had unquestionably taken first place!
In the previous competition, the Qilin Young Master had bled twice. In addition, in this competition, the Qilin Young Master had taken third place. In the end, the Qilin Young Master's score surpassed Qin Shaofeng's and reached 31 points, becoming second only to Prince Ling.
Qin Shaofeng's 30 points could only be lowered to third place!
The ancient race's prodigies, Gu Bo and Demon Prince, who did not get a good ranking, were gradually catching up with their scores.
This was because in this jade talisman competition, there were not only one contestant who got first place, but three.
Other than Prince Ling, Gu Bo and Demon Prince also completed the third round of the jade talisman competition and got first place at the same time.
Therefore, the two of them also got 5 points!
At this point, the two of them were not far from Qin Shaofeng's score. One of them had 29 points, while the other had 28 points. There was only a difference of one or two points.
Even the Demon God Palace's Demon God Crown Prince, who did not do much, had 24 points now.
The difference in these points was not very obvious. This was because in the following competitions, if the situation was not right, there would be a huge change in the ranking of the competition.
At this moment, it was finally the most crucial moment of the ability competition. The last five important competitions had finally begun.
Refining weapons, refining pills, taming beasts, setting up formations, and divine runes!
These were the five most important competitions in the ability competition. Therefore, these five competitions had a maximum score of 10 points.
Because there were many competitions in the ability competition, there was a total score.
That was, if one participated in all the competitions and got first place in all of them, they would get the maximum score of 100 points.
It was precisely because of this that there were no bonus points in any of the abilities in this field.
No matter what, a contestant could only get 100 points at most, no more, no matter how good their results were.
However, in the ability competition, there was a special situation. That was, there would be a tie.
And the tie would not affect the ranking of the other contestants.
This was just like the jade talisman competition that had just ended. That was the situation where Prince Ling, Gu Bo, and the Demon Prince were tied for first place. Moreover, the Qilin Young Master was not pushed to fourth place after the three of them. He was still in second place.
The tie would not affect the other contestants. Otherwise, Qin Shaofeng would not even be able to get into the top ten of the jade talisman competition that had just ended.
This seemed to be very fair, but in fact, this situation would only make the competition more intense.
Because in the next five competitions, it seemed that it would be very easy for a tie to happen.
This made Qin Shaofeng understand one thing in his heart. If he wanted to be the absolute champion, even if the safest situation was to get first place and get full marks in all five competitions, he would have to be the absolute champion.
However, this seemed to be a little difficult!
…
Weapon Refining, Pill Refining, Beast Taming, Formation, Sacred Runes!
The first of these five competitions was the Sacred Runes competition!
The Sacred Runes competition also had three stages. In fact, regardless of whether it was the previous five competitions or the last five competitions, they were all divided into three stages.
The Sacred Runes were a special kind of pattern. It was an energy-like pattern that was formed by using the power of the law to communicate with the law of the Great Path.
Of course, this was very different from the Sacred Runes that Qin Shaofeng had previously understood.
Because to be able to communicate with the law of the Great Path and form the pattern, it was not something that ordinary people could do.
At the very least, it required the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm. The so-called Sacred Runes that he had encountered before were actually just simple energy patterns. They could not be considered as real Sacred Runes.
Now that he was in the Nirvana Realm, although the Nirvana Realm had the effect of suppressing cultivation, it was actually the best place to communicate with the law of the Great Path.
Therefore, forming the Sacred Runes here was a very easy thing to do.
Similar to pills and dominator weapons, there were grades of Sacred Runes, and they were all one to nine stars.
In theory, there were also ten-star Sacred Runes, but it seemed that the grade was too high and the power was too terrifying. Not many people had seen a ten-star Sacred Rune with their own eyes.
The first stage of the Sacred Runes competition was to follow the rules of the competition and inscribe three thousand one-star Sacred Runes, three thousand two-star Sacred Runes, and three thousand three-star Sacred Runes in the arena.
This seemed very simple, but it was actually quite difficult.
