Chapter 429 Junior sister doesnt want to be the group favorite 61
Ni Ming and Lu Hua never had a good life in the outer sect.
The two senior brothers accepted Wu Wu's favor, so naturally they had to strictly control them according to the instructions.
And they slandered and attempted to murder Tao Ran. They once plotted against Du Yunyao from the Thirteenth Peak, and the Du family's affairs were also spread by those two senior brothers.
The two committed more bad deeds, and their reputations were even more ruined.
Especially with the Great Competition approaching, the more Tao Ran's prestige grows, the greater the outer monks' hatred towards the rubbish that tarnishes their outer sect's glory.
And since the two of them offended Tao Ran, Wu Wu and Du Yunyao, it was already destined that no one would stand up for them, speak out or help them. Instead, more people would step on them.
Soon, something else happened.
On the day when the sect competition began, Ni Ming and Lu Hua were caught. It was said that while the monks were going to compete, the two of them committed theft. Not only were they caught by four monks,
, and a large number of spiritual stones were found from his body at that time.
And the person's name is written on the bag of spiritual stones.
The evidence was complete, but the two of them denied it and swore that they had been framed and had never done anything wrong, so the two groups started fighting.
One of the young cultivators, who was still in the Qi refining stage, was hit by Ni Ming's spiritual power. He spurted blood on the spot and fainted. In this way, the two of them were charged with another crime: harming their fellow disciples.
They were taken to the execution hall.
The subjects of questioning were naturally Ni Ming and Lu Hua.
After hearing the charges against them, the two felt extremely aggrieved. They shouted angrily in front of the court that the head of the torture hall was unfair, and asked him whether he was bullying the newcomer or accepting someone's benefit.
The boss was furious.
So the two of them added another crime: contempt of punishment hall.
In this way, the two of them were sent directly to the torture hall.
They lost their freedom again.
They were sentenced to another three years in prison.
During these three years, not only did they have to squat, but they also had to work in the torture chamber to earn money to compensate the injured Xiaoxiu.
Tao Ran also went to the execution hall when he had time.
Of course she knew that those two trash men were most likely framed for their fate, but that didn't stop her from continuing to add insult to injury.
She went to throw out the two IOUs, indicating that Ni Ming and Lu Hua still owed her money.
After confirmation, the head of the execution hall was shocked, "Such a big sum?" The amount of spiritual stones they earn from the small jobs they do every day, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish it in thirty years.
"Then give them more work, dirty work to earn money, work that others don't want to do. It's obvious that their character has not been reformed after two years in Si Guo Ya, so why not try to reform it through labor?
They may be able to achieve greater value for the sect, and the sect will not waste these decades of training."
Undoubtedly, that makes sense.
These two people are already useless. But the sect spent a lot of money to cultivate them.
"So," Tao Ran smiled: "I will hand over these two IOUs."
"What... does this mean?" The principal's eyes lit up.
"In other words, they have to try their best to repay the debt in this IOU according to the amount. But I don't want this debt anymore. I will contribute all of it to the sect. It can be used to subsidize the punishment hall or the outer sect.
That’s fine. I won’t take any money from you.”
"Then you...will be at a loss."
"What I want is punishment for them. After all, repaying debts is a matter of course! As long as they are punished, I will not lose money."
In this way, Tao Ran's two IOUs were effectively donated!
Those two wastes can no longer produce anything, and there is no point in keeping the IOU. Besides, Tao Ran is not short of spiritual stones now, so he might as well turn waste into treasure, donate it directly, and directly transfer this debt collection task to
Xingtang. Then why worry about them defaulting on their debts?
And there are many other benefits.
With this donation, even the execution hall owed her a favor.
More importantly, after having two IOUs, the Xingtang had a high-sounding reason for increasing and aggravating their workload. As Tao Ran said, "It is natural to pay back debts."
In this way, it will not only stimulate the residual value of their waste to a greater extent and make up for the sect's losses on them, but also use the value they created in more needed places. And her two IOUs will not be criticized.
Kill multiple birds with one stone...
And the two losers will enter a new round of torture from now on.
This time, it's physical.
Tao Ran sympathized with them. He thought that in the past two years, they had been forced to cross the cliff, their bodies were lazy, and their muscles and bones were loose. So in the next three years, they should work hard, exercise, and strengthen their bodies.
For example, go to the mine renovation that she recommended to the head of the execution hall.
It's dirty and tiring, it's dark, the life is hard, there's no way to escape, it's the most suitable place for reform through labor!
Coupled with their unwillingness to be wronged, their reluctance to fall from a high place, and their bitter hatred of being betrayed and separated from their relatives, these multiple tortures are worthy of them.
This is great, and it has great benefits for the outer sects. Tao Ran doesn't have to face them anymore for a short time, and his mood has improved...
The sect competition has begun.
Tao Ran is in the foundation building group.
The purpose of the competition is to select talents. Considering that the strength gap between each small level of cultivation will be very large, the competition items are designed to narrow the gap in combat effectiveness as much as possible.
First is the flying sword.
In the distance race, you complete the flight and earn points based on the time taken.
The game is quite difficult, it is not a simple flight.
There are various emergencies during the flight.
For example, mountains suddenly grow taller; thorny clouds; sudden tornadoes and hail; sudden strong winds; plummeting due to gravity; forced gliding on the water; sudden appearance of a water monster with a wide mouth on the water surface that requires emergency avoidance and avoidance.
Find a way to escape...
All kinds of changes at high speed are like riding a roller coaster. If you don't have enough control over the spirit sword, have weak spiritual power, lack of concentration or some hesitation, you will lose your balance and fall out of the game.
Seeing that we were almost at the end, there was still a mist. The monk was slightly unsteady and fell dizzy...
Although Tao Ran has good fighting ability and mental strength, he rarely has the opportunity to wield a sword on weekdays, so he can only cross the finish line smoothly. His results are not outstanding. Among the foundation-building monks, he barely ranks fifteenth.
After this competition, half of the monks were directly eliminated.
Among the monks who passed through, 60% were from the outer sect.
But compared with the inner sect, there is still a clear gap between these results. Because there are so many people from the outer sect taking part in the competition! Three times more than the inner sect!
Moreover, none of their results are top-notch. Among the top twenty passers, 16 are actually from the inner sect. It can be seen that the top talents are still in the inner sect.
But this is the best result the outer sect has achieved in the competition in recent years. Everyone is very grateful for Tao Ran's appearance. The effect of the pre-match surprise training she organized has been highlighted.
What follows is a spell test.
There are ten competition contents in total...
The third round is a monster-fighting competition for thousands of people in a limited venue.
Within a limited time, the more monsters you kill, the higher your score will be.
Tao Ran didn't bring any spirit beasts, nor did she use wood spirits. She didn't want to cheat, she just wanted to rely on herself to see where her own strength lay.
Fortunately, her speed is fast enough, her firepower is fierce enough, her endurance is strong enough, and her psychological quality is relatively good. In protracted battles, her performance is very stable, and she maintains efficient kills from the beginning to the end.
This time, her results were pretty good.
In this round, she got fourth place.
The first three were all apprentices of several elders, and their cultivation levels were much higher than hers, so she was convinced.
