Provocation
In fact, the Hall's assessment was only to test the cultivation of the disciples.
Even if there were some competitions, they were just to test the strength of the disciples.
But this time, the Nine Cloud Hall's assessment had become somewhat thought-provoking under the manipulation of some people.
Single elimination tournament!
After a series of meticulous arrangements and helpless compromises, the test turned into an arena.
The rules were simple. Whoever could last until the end would be the number one genius of the Nine Cloud Hall!
Although this was the case on the surface, everyone already knew that this was a competition between the Jun Family and the Shao Family.
The real competition was between these two families. The others were just participating.
For this reason, the Shao Family took out many things as rewards for the winners.
At the same time, the Jun Family also took out some things as rewards.
But no matter who won, only one person could receive these rewards.
This was the last person standing on the stage after defeating all the opponents!
The entire Nine Cloud Hall had eight deacons, all of whom were Saint Monarchs. Half of them were actually from the Shao Family. Other than Jun Haicheng, the Jun Family only had one deacon.
Because there were four deacons, the Shao Family ignored the old Hall Master and looked down on the Jun Family.
The remaining two deacons were neutral. They would not go against the old Hall Master's orders as long as it was reasonable. However, they also turned a blind eye to the Shao Family's situation of forcing the Jun Family.
Then, there was such a huge single elimination tournament like assessment!
But at this point, the Jun Family had no choice but to accept it.
The Jun Family now only hoped that by winning this assessment, the Shao Family would have some peace and quiet. They would have more time to wait for Hong Kun's movements.
But would the reality really allow them to do as they wished?
Could the Jun Family really win?
…
Below the stage, Qin Shaofeng, Lin Yihan, and the two Jun Family brothers sat together.
At this moment, the assessment had already begun. Qin Shaofeng looked at it with a bored expression.
But at this stage, this was really an assessment because the people on the stage were all ordinary disciples of the Nine Cloud Hall.
These disciples were all sparring with each other. Most of them were testing their own strength.
Therefore, this made Qin Shaofeng feel very bored. However, what made Qin Shaofeng feel even more helpless was that this time, the people from the Jun Family were sent out, and he was placed at the back.
After all, there were eight Saint level experts in front of him. It was naturally difficult for him, a disciple of a high-level Saint, to go up.
If it was really up to him, a disciple of a high-level Saint, then the results of the assessment would have already been decided.
In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Jun Family, Qin Shaofeng, who was only a high-level Saint, he was not of any use.
However, Qin Shaofeng was not worried at all because he knew that he would have a chance to fight.
Qin Shaofeng had used his Fiery Golden Eyes to sense the strength of the Shao Family's geniuses as soon as he entered the arena.
Then, he felt at ease!
Because he knew that he could definitely go on stage!
…
When the disciples of the two neutral deacons finished their matches one by one, the atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena changed slightly. It became somewhat dignified.
This was because everyone understood that what was about to happen next was the highlight of today's assessment.
Except for the deacon of the Shao Family, the rest of the people present, including the Old Hall Master, were all present.
These higher-ups were all sitting on the highest viewing platform in the martial arts arena. Although they appeared to be harmonious on the surface, the people from the Jun Family and the Shao Family probably couldn't wait to kill each other in their hearts.
At this moment, Shao Yunkun, the head of the Shao Family, who was also Shao Yaowu's father and one of the eight deacons of the Nine Cloud Hall, suddenly gave a look to the disciples of the Shao Family not far away.
In the next moment, a disciple of the Shao Family who was a high-level Saint Seventh-Level Saint instantly went up to the arena.
"I am Shao Zitao. I would like to take this opportunity to spar with my friends from the Nine Cloud Hall. Which one of you would like to do me the honor?"
The disciple of the Shao Family called Shao Zitao spoke very politely, but when he said this, he looked at the disciples of the Jun Family with a provocative gaze.
Especially when he said the word "friend," his tone was very serious.
How much more did he need to mean?
Some of the Jun Family's disciples couldn't help but rush into the ring.
"Hmph, let me have a go at you!"
A disciple of the Shao Family who was also a high-level Saint Seventh-Level Saint snorted coldly and went up to the arena.
However, after seeing this scene, Qin Shaofeng secretly shook his head and sighed softly in his heart.
"Sigh, how impulsive. Isn't this disrupting the arrangements of the higher-ups of the Jun Family?"
Indeed, just as Qin Shaofeng had expected, the expressions of the two deacons of the Jun Family changed slightly when they saw that disciple go up to the arena.
In fact, regardless of whether the Jun Family won this assessment, the Jun Family's sovereignty over the Nine Cloud Hall had definitely been provoked.
After all, the Jun Family had been forced to compromise in this assessment, which made them lose a lot of their authority.
Therefore, even if they won in the end, it might not be a good thing.
After all, this was just a competition between some young people. It would be good if they won, but it would be terrible if they lost.
However, the Jun Family was also confident that they would win this assessment.
In order to deal a blow to the arrogance of the Shao Family, they had to win thoroughly. It would be best if they could defeat all the disciples of the Shao Family in the shortest time possible and end this assessment.
Therefore, the Jun Family had already discussed a plan.
However, now, someone had already been provoked and rushed up to the arena.
According to the Jun Family's original plan, they would directly send out a disciple of the Saint Level to end the assessment as soon as possible. However, the plan was completely messed up now.
Moreover, what worried the higher-ups of the Jun Family the most was that, in a fit of anger, the chances of losing would be greater if they were of the same cultivation level and strength.
Sure enough, it was just as the higher-ups of the Jun Family were worried. In a fit of anger, the disciple of the Jun Family did not display his true strength at all. Especially when he was provoked by the disciple of the Shao Family, he used all his strength in every move, but every move was unable to hit his opponent.
Soon, the disciple of the Jun Family exhausted his strength, causing his strength to decrease. In the end, the disciple of the Shao Family found an opportunity and directly blasted him out of the arena.
The Shao Family took the first victory of the assessment!
When they saw the disciple of the Jun Family being blasted out of the arena, the disciples of the Shao Family immediately shouted loudly.
"Good!"
"Zi Tao, well done!"
"Ha, this is the genius of the Jun Family? He really can't take a beating! "
"…"
The shouts of the disciples of the Shao Family instantly made the disciples of the Jun Family even angrier, and they were about to do something.
However, at this moment, a young man in his mid-twenties among the disciples of the Jun Family immediately shouted in a low voice, "What are you all doing? Don't fall into their trap! The Shao Family is deliberately provoking us!"
That young man was called Jun Shaoyang, and he was the son of Jun Haicheng. He was also the disciple with the highest cultivation base among the disciples of the Jun Family. He had just broken through to the seventh level of the Human Saint Stage a few days ago.
This was also the reason why the Jun Family was confident that they would obtain victory in this assessment.
Given Jun Shaoyang's status and cultivation base, he was the leader of the younger generation of the Jun Family. When he spoke, the disciples of the Jun Family immediately calmed down.
Although most of them were still somewhat unwilling, no one was so stupid that they didn't realize that the Shao Family was scheming after Jun Shaoyang's reminder.
After everyone calmed down, Jun Shaoyang turned to a late-stage Seventh Level Saint Stage disciple of the Jun Family and said, "Xiao Jiang, you will go up this time. Be careful and don't get provoked by your opponent. With your strength, it won't be difficult for you to defeat Shao Zi Tao!"
Xiao Jiang nodded at Jun Shaoyang and went up in a flash.
When Qin Shaofeng saw this scene, he couldn't help but take another look at Jun Shaoyang as he muttered to himself, "Not bad.
It seems that Jun Shaoyang has some brains. However, in this case, when will it be my turn to go up? "
Based on the current situation, the battle would probably take a long time.
Moreover, Qin Shaofeng knew that even if it was a battle between high-level Saints, Jun Shaoyang wouldn't let him go up because he didn't understand his strength.
However, just as Jun Shaoyang had predicted, Xiao Jiang went up and fought with Shao Zi Tao for a while before finally defeating Shao Zi Tao.
After this battle, Xiao Jiang won another battle. That was why he was defeated by a late-stage Seventh Level Saint Stage disciple of the Shao Family.
After that, more than a dozen battles took place one after another. Under Jun Shaoyang's arrangement, the Jun Family won more than they lost.
However, this made Qin Shaofeng a little impatient.
At this rate, it would definitely be the turn of the Mortal Sage Stage disciples for a while.
Qin Shaofeng could see that as long as the Shao Family didn't send a high-level disciple, Jun Shaoyang would never send a high-level disciple to the arena.
Actually, Jun Shaoyang's arrangement wasn't wrong. In fact, it was very appropriate.
This gave people the impression that the disciples of the Shao Family were inferior to the disciples of the Jun Family.
In fact, this was almost the case. At this moment, the Shao Family couldn't hold on any longer, so they sent out more powerful disciples.
However, Qin Shaofeng couldn't help it because Qin Shaofeng was a little anxious.
It was too slow!
Waiting like this was simply a kind of torture for him!
Suddenly, Qin Shaofeng saw a familiar face among the disciples of the Shao Family. His heart skipped a beat. He secretly winked at Lin Yihan beside him and glanced at the disciples of the Shao Family.
Lin Yihan didn't understand what Qin Shaofeng meant at first, but his eyes lit up when he saw the person that Qin Shaofeng was hinting at.
At this moment, Qin Shaofeng leaned in front of him and whispered.
Lin Yihan nodded and stared at the person among the disciples of the Shao Family.
That person was none other than Shao Yaowu!
Shao Yaowu seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at him. He raised his head slightly and saw Lin Yihan.
The moment Shao Yaowu raised his head, Lin Yihan gave Shao Yaowu a disdainful look according to Qin Shaofeng's instructions.
Shao Yaowu was instantly furious.
The news that Lin Yihan had broken through to the Mortal Sage Stage hadn't spread. At this moment, Shao Yaowu didn't know that Lin Yihan had already reached the Mortal Sage Stage. He only thought that Lin Yihan was still a high-level Saint Stage Seventh Level.
However, he was a high-level Saint Stage Tenth Level late stage. How could Shao Yaowu tolerate being provoked by someone who he thought was only a high-level Saint Stage Seventh Level?
At this moment, the competition on the arena just ended. The winner was the disciple of the Shao Family.
