Many people secretly prayed that they would be able to avoid the top youths. There were a total of twenty contestants, and Jiang Yanyun and Jiang Shaobai had already taken up two spots. They were fighting for the remaining eighteen spots. If they met top youths like Jiang Yisheng and Jiang Yiran right from the start, they would really be crying their eyes out.
Ye Qingtang stood at the side after drawing her lot, and the other youths who were on good terms with her also drew their lots.
Very quickly, the Elder announced the contestants for the battle. The young man beside Ye Qingtang's face darkened when he heard that his opponent was Jiang Xinyue. He hugged his lot and wailed. "Jiang Xinyue?"
Ye Qingtang had met Jiang Xinyue once before and knew that Jiang Xinyue's swordsmanship was extremely high. Her skills were among the top ten in Taiyuan Valley.
"It's over, it's over. I'm going to play with the ball now. Jiang Yisheng, help me see if Jiang Xinyue has finished sharpening her sword," the youth said with a long face.
"Even if you didn't draw Jiang Xinyue, you wouldn't be able to make it into the top twenty. It's your fault for not cultivating." Jiang Yisheng didn't have any sympathy for him at all. He craned his neck to look at Ye Qingtang's lot.
"Eh, your opponent is Jiang Lan?"
Ye Qingtang nodded.
Jiang Yisheng laughed instantly and patted Ye Qingtang's shoulder. "Little girl, you're pretty lucky. That Jiang Lan is a weirdo in our Taiyuan Valley. He was extremely talented when he was born, but he became more and more useless as he grew up. You've been cultivating hard these few months, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to deal with him."
The other youths who were on good terms with her congratulated her when they saw that she had drawn Jiang Lan, who was at the bottom of the valley.
Soon, the first round of sparring began.
Ye Qingtang also went up the arena to fight against Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan was slightly plump and did not look like a strong martial artist at all. He held a huge hammer in his hand and looked very clumsy.
Jiang Lan shouted the moment the duel started. He raised his hammer and smashed it at Ye Qingtang. His messy footwork gave Ye Qingtang a headache. Ye Qingtang dodged the attack and flipped over to kick Jiang Lan's heavy back. Jiang Lan's body trembled.
With a thud, Jiang Lan collapsed on the stage, the whites of his eyes rolling back.
"Qingtang, well done!" Jiang Yisheng and the rest cheered generously.
Ye Qingtang's victory was swift and there weren't many onlookers. After she won, she walked down the stage.
Elder Qian and the other elders were watching the fights on the various arenas on the high platform. Ye Qingtang was naturally watching as well.
Seeing that Ye Qingtang had won, Elder Qian nodded slightly. However, because Jiang Lan's skills were extremely weak, the elders had already discussed letting Jiang Lan leave Taiyuan Valley after this selection. Thus, they did not take this result to heart.
After the first round, the winners would continue to draw lots for the second round, and the cycle would repeat until the last twenty contestants were determined.
A few of the youths on Jiang Yisheng's side were unlucky. In the first few rounds, they had drawn opponents who were ranked highly in the valley. It was very difficult for them.
On the other hand, Ye Qingtang's luck was extremely good. Every time she drew a lot, the youths she drew were basically at the bottom of the round, and there was no difficulty in fighting them at all.
At the start, Jiang Yisheng and the rest had praised Ye Qingtang for her good luck for picking up pushovers every round. But after the fifth round, Jiang Yisheng and the rest looked at Ye Qingtang with a strange expression.
