Linjiang Sect, as the sect of the Crimson Flame Kingdom, has gathered many geniuses, especially the disciples who have entered the inner sect. Many of them have profound backgrounds and should not be underestimated.
Although he is quite satisfied with his improvement to the current level in the past few months, he does not think that with this strength, he can be invincible at the same level.
"There are only three days left. It is difficult to improve in other aspects."
"I will refine some talismans to defend against the enemy. It may have miraculous effects in the arena."
.........
Three days later, Cave Mansion.
Shen Mo brought the roasted meat to the Lingzang Rat and started today's feeding work.
Then, look towards the pavilion.
Today, a person came to Yaqian, his cave.
Cao Ren.
The rookie competition is approaching, and he specially invited him to rush to Yuxutai together.
"It's almost noon, and the rookie battle is about to begin. Let's quickly go to Yuxu Terrace to gather."
"It doesn't hurt to wait a while."
Shen Mo was not as impatient as him.
Follow the procedures informed by the sect.
This time the rookie battle was held at Yuxutai, and some important figures from the Linjiang Sect came to watch the battle.
When the disciples are summoned, the sun and moon clock specially used in the sect to announce important events will be used.
It’s not too late to wait until the bell rings.
"Why don't you look nervous at all?"
Cao Ren was quite surprised to see Shen Mo looking calm and composed.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, it's just a competition."
Shen Mo shrugged: "As long as you go all out, it will be fine. As for the result, you can only leave it to fate."
He is still cautiously optimistic about his own strength, and estimates that it will not be difficult to advance to the top ten.
But if it doesn't meet the standard, he won't be too disappointed.
After all, he now has the Destiny System by his side. As long as he can survive, he is confident of catching up from behind.
"Oh, I'm not as lucky as you..." Cao Ren sighed, "My father didn't pay much attention to my practice before, but since I advanced to the Qi Gathering Realm, I suddenly seem to be a different person.
Generally speaking, I was given a death order. This time in the rookie competition, I must be among the top fifty, and I can’t embarrass my old Cao family."
"But how can I do that?"
There are often more than two hundred inner disciples participating in the Rookie Competition.
If you want to be among the top 50, you need to win at least two games to have a chance.
This request may be a common thing for Shen Mo.
But Cao Ren does not have such a deep accumulation as Shen Mo. Among the disciples who have just entered the inner sect, he can barely be considered a middle-to-lower level.
"I have prepared some talismans in the past few days. They may be useful when I get to the Yuxu Platform later."
Shen Mo looked at this guy's sad look and took some out of his arms and gave it to him.
"Let me give you some."
"Thank you..."
Cao Ren was overjoyed and deeply moved.
"Thank you, what's the relationship between us?"
"When you receive the sect's monthly salary, you can discount these talismans to me according to the market price."
While we were chatting, the bell in Linjiang Sect suddenly rang.
"Cang!"
"Cang!"
Hong Zhong Da Lu spread throughout the Linjiang Sect's inner gate area.
Immediately following the bell was a vigorous voice.
"The battle for rookies is about to begin. Newly promoted inner disciples, come to Yuxu Terrace to gather and wait."
"It begins!"
When Shen Mo and Cao Ren heard the voice, they immediately set off and headed to Yuxu Terrace with their swords.
.........
In front of Yuxu Terrace.
A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe stands proudly.
This person is Elder Chu Chen of Linjiang Sect who is responsible for inner affairs.
This rookie battle is hosted by him.
Behind Elder Chu, there was a party ascending the high platform.
The location of the high platform is perfect. Sitting there, you can overlook the entire field and have a panoramic view of Yuxu Terrace. It is where the elders of the division watch the battle.
The climbing platform is divided into three major areas, the rising sun, the bright moon, and the people of the three peaks of the stars, each living in one area.
At this moment, many people have gathered in the stands of each peak.
The three leaders are Tang Lu, the leader of Rising Sun Peak, Yuan Jing, the leader of Mingyue Peak, and Zhou Shili, the leader of Star Peak.
The three of them are half-step into the Yuan Dan realm.
He is a real big shot in Linjiang Sect.
Except for the Supreme Elders, who are headmasters and Shenlong, Linjiang Sect is their world.
This competition for rookies is also a grand event for the three major peak masters to draw fresh blood and select talents.
In addition to the presence of the peak masters, behind the stands, there are also some elders from each peak, including some interested peak disciples, who are also watching here.
Of course, the strong ones from each peak are not the only ones who can watch the battle.
Some of the inner sects of casual cultivators who have not been able to join the various peaks can also watch the battle of rookies and check out this year's new talent.
But there won’t be such an excellent location as the high platform for them.
These people could only stand very far outside the venue and watch silently.
Although the environment is not very good, the enthusiasm of the disciples within the sect cannot be concealed. As soon as the call for new inner disciples was announced, there were many inner disciples inside and outside Yuxu Terrace, forming a circle around the place.
Among the spectators, some came to watch the excitement, and some were friends or relatives who participated in the rookie battle and came to cheer them on.
Among them are Cao Shanyue, Chen An and others.
"Shen Mo, behave well."
When Shen Mo and Cao Ren arrived at the scene and entered the Yuxu Terrace, Chen An was far away and waved to him.
"Yeah."
When Shen Mo saw him coming to watch the battle, his heart warmed and he nodded.
Cao Ren, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw his father supervising the battle.
He was afraid that he would be scolded by his father when he showed off his strength later, so he could only silently say the immortal blessing in his heart.
Shen Mo and Cao Ren were among the earlier ones to arrive.
After joining the ranks, there is still an endless stream of new inner disciples flying over.
There was a lot of chatter and noise in the room.
Shen Mo stood in the team, waiting for Elder Chu Chen, who was presiding over the rookie battle, to announce the start of the competition. At the same time, he also pricked up his ears and listened to the many discussions in the field.
"This group of newly promoted inner disciples is a star-studded group, and it is much more lively than the previous two. I believe this competition among the rookies will be quite fierce."
"Yes, Lu Xu, Xu Longxiang, and Liu Qing are well-known figures among the peripheral disciples, and they have all been promoted this year."
"Who do you think will win the first place in this year's rookie battle?"
"It's hard to say. It might be an upset, and it's not necessarily a dark horse."
"That's right. There are two hundred new inner disciples. There will definitely be some less famous but powerful guys."
Lu Xu, Xu Longxiang, Liu Qing?
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and carefully read through the memory of the original owner. He felt vaguely impressed by these names.
The people mentioned by everyone are all influential figures among the peripheral disciples.
After all, those who can spread their reputation to the inner sect at the outer disciple stage are definitely the best among the best.
However, although Shen Mo has heard of these people's names, he has never really come into contact with them.
It’s not a circle.
When the original master was in the peripheral disciple stage, he was always a transparent figure and had no chance to make friends with these geniuses.
After time travel, I was busy practicing and never had much interaction with other peripheral disciples.
"Today, let's see how much the elite among these peripheral disciples weigh."
This is the first time that Shen Mo has traveled through such a long time and participated in a competition among disciples within the sect.
There is not much fear or hesitation, but more excitement about being eager to try.
He feels that he is more and more adapted to this world.
