(I almost forgot to update again. How embarrassing. Since I've spoken, I might as well say a few more words. Tomorrow is a new month, I'm begging for next month's votes.)
On the Blue Cloud Peak, the outer sect disciple area was very lively.
There were more than a thousand outer sect disciples. In theory, any outer sect disciple could participate in the competition, but that was not the case.
The outer sect disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect were of different ages, cultivation levels, and strength.
The youngest outer sect disciple was only twelve years old and had just entered the sect. His cultivation level was naturally not high, at most at the fourth layer of the Foundation Realm.
However, a twelve-year-old at the fourth layer of the Foundation Realm was already a rare genius.
The oldest was eighteen years old, and his cultivation level was not bad either, at the sixth layer of the Foundation Realm.
Of course, age had nothing to do with cultivation level or strength. Otherwise, the top ten outer sect disciples wouldn't be in the top ten.
However, being older meant that they had more time to cultivate, which was a relative advantage.
The outer sect competition was divided into three stages. The first stage was elimination.
The so-called elimination was to eliminate the weaker disciples, and the restriction was cultivation level.
The fifth layer of the Foundation Realm!
Only those who had reached the fifth layer of the Foundation Realm were qualified to participate in the outer sect competition.
In this world, the first to third layers of the Foundation Realm were building a foundation to stabilize their cultivation path. They weren't strong, but that was only relative to this world.
Only when one reached the fourth layer of the Foundation Realm could the true qi in one's body become powerful.
However, the fourth layer of the Foundation Realm was only the beginning of the path to becoming an expert. The true qi in one's body wasn't strong enough. Only when one reached the fifth layer of the Foundation Realm could one's true qi be released. Only then could one's true qi be released through martial arts.
The release of true qi, as the name implied, allowed one's true qi to be released from one's body to one's hands or weapons to increase their power.
The fifth layer of the Foundation Realm was enough to eliminate most of the outer sect disciples. Next was the second round of elimination.
The second round of elimination was to test one's strength.
Strength was composed of cultivation, martial arts, experience, and various other factors. A high cultivation did not necessarily mean that one was strong. Since ancient times, there had been many examples of people with high cultivation being killed by people with lower cultivation. It was either because their martial arts were not strong enough, or because they did not have enough combat experience and were unable to display their full strength.
The Blue Cloud Sect had invited many people to watch the Outer Sect Tournament. Naturally, they couldn't lose face.
The test of strength was very simple, it was to fight against a puppet. The puppet's strength was at the late stage of the fifth layer of the Foundation Realm. Only those who could last ten moves against the puppet would qualify.
In this round, many outer sect disciples were eliminated. In the end, only two hundred and fifty-six people were qualified. Including the top ten outer sect disciples who did not need to participate in the elimination round, there were two hundred and sixty-six people.
…
The Outer Sect Tournament would be held on the Green Cloud Sparring Stage. The stage was already filled with people. Most of them were from the Blue Cloud Sect, while a small portion were invited by the Blue Cloud Sect.
A rogue cultivator pointed at one of the two hundred or so outer sect disciples and said, "That is the Fiend Blood Sword Dragon."
Ge Kong excitedly said, "Brother, the Fiend Blood Sword Dragon challenged the Lianjiang village by himself. Perhaps it will be one of the top ten in this year's Outer Sect Tournament."
Chen Zong also looked at the Fiend Blood Sword Dragon.
He had a robust figure and a sharp gaze. Traces of killing intent were faintly discernible around his body. His dark red robes made him look even more ferocious. With a single glance, one could tell that he was not an easy person to deal with.
Shortly after, Chen Zong felt a sharp gaze land on his face. It was the sword and saber maniac, Zhang Tiekuang. Zhang Tiekuang took a deep look at Chen Zong before looking away.
Under Ge Kong's introduction, Chen Zong saw the other outer sect disciples. Sure enough, they were all extraordinary. Standing in the crowd, they stood out like cranes among chickens.
"Brother, that is the second ranked outer sect disciple, Ye Xijun. She is a member of Green Bamboo City's Ye family. Her talent is outstanding. She is almost fifteen years old and has already reached the peak of the sixth layer of the Foundation Realm. Her sword art is superb and rarely has any opponents. She is the dream lover of many outer sect disciples." Ge Kong laughed as he looked at Ye Xijun with admiration.
There were relatively fewer female cultivators than male cultivators, and there were also relatively fewer female cultivators with titles.
The Blue Cloud Sect had more than a thousand outer sect disciples. More than seventy percent of them were male, and only twenty percent were female. For Ye Xijun to be ranked second showed that it was not easy.
Chen Zongduo took a few more glances at Ye Xi Jun. Ye Xi Jun's facial features were exquisite and her skin was fair, exuding a faint glow, as if she had walked out of a painting. Every inch of her body seemed to have been carefully sculpted, and the ponytail behind her head added a bit of heroic spirit.
The first impression that Ye Xijun gave to Chen Zong was that she was exquisite.
Seeming to have noticed Chen Zong's gaze, Ye Xijun's clear eyes also looked over and smiled at Chen Zong. Chen Zong also nodded in response, but Ge Kong became excited. He grabbed Chen Zong's arm and shook it. "Brother, brother, did you see that? Ye Xijun smiled at me."
Chen Zong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't attack Ge Kong.
Ge Kong was only a fifteen year old youth. It was normal for him to like an outstanding girl like Ye Xijun.
His gaze swept over the crowd, and suddenly stopped. Chen Zong stared at a youth in a plain robe. Whether it was his appearance or his clothing, this youth was very ordinary. However, within this ordinariness, there was a unique and harmonious charm. He had some kind of indescribable charm.
"Yang Chaofan …" Chen Zong thought of a name in his heart.
The number one outer sect disciple. It was said that his background was very ordinary, but he had shown extraordinary talent since he was young. Five years ago, he entered the Blue Cloud Sect. Two years ago, he defeated the number one outer sect disciple with an absolute advantage and replaced him. In these two years, he had been challenged many times, but had never been defeated. His position as the number one outer sect disciple was unshakable.
It was said that Yang Chaofan had a unique talent that no one else had, but as for what kind of talent it was, very few people knew. At least, Chen Qingzong didn't know.
In the past, although Chen Qingzong's talent was not bad, compared to the top ten outer sect disciples, there was still a gap, not to mention the number one outer sect disciple, Yang Chaofan. The two of them were destined to be different.
Yang Chaofan was the center of attention, but his expression didn't change in the slightest. He just stood there quietly, as if he wanted to stand there forever, untouched by anything.
The host of the Great Competition was an Inner Sect Elder of the Blue Cloud Sect, a Transcendent Realm master. Chen Zong couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, the other party's aura was blended together, making it difficult for him to see anything mysterious. Chen Zong only vaguely felt that something was different, but he couldn't pinpoint it.
"It's different from the Transcendents of Blue Waves World." Chen Zong secretly said.
But as for what was different, he would only know after seeing the other party in action. Of course, the most direct and thorough observation was that he had broken through to the Transcendent Realm.
The Inner Sect Elder first said a few words of courtesy, welcoming people from other forces and rogue cultivators to come and watch the competition, giving them some face. After all, the Blue Cloud Sect was one of the great forces in the Land and belonged to the Righteous Path, so it was natural for him to be relatively polite.
"This year's Outer Sect Great Competition is slightly different from the previous ones, it's the rewards." After a few words of courtesy, the Inner Sect Elder changed the topic to the Outer Sect Great Competition. Everyone pricked up their ears, "In the past, only the top ten would be rewarded, but this time, as long as you enter the top 32, you will be rewarded with merit points from the Sect."
"Every disciple in the top 32 will be rewarded with 5000 merit points from the Sect."
Many people's eyes lit up.
1000 merit points wasn't a small amount. Usually, one would need to complete several tasks to have a chance of obtaining it. 5000 merit points was much more than 1000 merit points, enough to exchange for a Mortal Grade High Rank Martial Skill or Martial Skill.
There were rewards for the top 32, and the rewards for the top 16 were doubled, which was 10,000 Sect merit points.
The rewards for the top 10 were naturally more generous, but what moved Chen Zong was the rewards for the top 3. Other than the generous amount of merit points, the third place would be able to choose a Mortal Grade High Rank Martial Skill or Mortal Grade High Rank Martial Skill from the Qingyun Sword Martial Pavilion for free.
The second place would be rewarded with two skills.
The first place would be rewarded with three skills.
"Mortal Grade High Rank Martial Skill!"
"Mortal Grade High Rank Martial Skill!"
The people from the small forces and rogue cultivators were all extremely excited, wishing that they could also participate in this Great Competition.
Even Jiang Baichuan, a well-known rogue cultivator, only cultivated a Mortal Grade High Rank Martial Skill or Martial Skill. It could be seen how rare a Mortal Grade High Rank Martial Skill was.
The outer sect disciples were naturally extremely excited. However, most of the outer sect disciples knew that it was impossible for them to obtain the top three. It was simply too difficult.
"In addition, the top 3 will directly become an Inner Sect Disciple." The Inner Sect Elder continued to announce. This was another benefit.
However, relatively speaking, this benefit wasn't that amazing.
"You can also obtain a Minor Realm Break Pill." The Inner Sect Elder's second sentence caused a great commotion.
"Minor Realm Break Pill!"
Everyone exclaimed. The rogue cultivators were envious. Even geniuses like Ye Xijun and Yang Chaofan were surprised and excited.
Minor Realm Break Pill, a Mortal Grade High Rank Pill. It could be used on any layer of the Foundation Realm and could help a cultivator break through from the sixth layer to the seventh layer, the seventh layer to the eighth layer, the eighth layer to the ninth layer, and so on.
It has to be said that each layer was very difficult to break through, but with the Minor Realm Break Pill, one could break through without any side effects. It would undoubtedly save a lot of time.
"The Blue Cloud Sect's rewards are really enviable." A famous rogue cultivator smiled bitterly.
"Yes, this is something that we rogue cultivators can't compare to." Another rogue cultivator smiled bitterly and shook his head.
They had never obtained a pill like the Minor Realm Break Pill. At most, they had only heard of it.
"This Minor Realm Break Pill will belong to the Azure Sect in the end." Among the spectators, Feng Pingsheng secretly said.
Feng Pingsheng was the First Floor Master of the Seven Swords Towers, and the Seven Swords Towers was one of the three Two-Star Forces in Azure Forest City. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to receive an invitation.
The leader of the Black Tiger Gang and the head of Family Mo naturally received an invitation and also came. The head of Family Mo hid in the crowd and stared fiercely at Chen Zong.
"This elder announces that the outer sect competition will now begin. The top 10 disciples will take their seats first." The Inner Sect Elder announced.
