The return trip went smoothly. After Xu Chunniang registered at the north gate, she returned to the outer gate of Xiaoyao Sect.
As soon as I returned to the sect, I saw many disciples gathered around the usually deserted training ground, talking animatedly.
"In a few days, the outer sect competition will be held every five years. I don't know who can stand out in the competition this time?"
"Senior Brother Murong has achieved great perfection in Qi training. He is not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also proficient in the art of talisman and seal script. He has great hope of becoming the top ten in this competition."
"Although Senior Sister Xiao Shuang has three spiritual roots, she has ice spiritual roots, and her understanding of ice spells is far superior to others. She is also a popular person to be promoted to the top ten this time."
"There is also Senior Brother Gufeng. He not only cultivates the realm, but also works hard to cultivate the body. He must be among the top ten in the outer sect."
Xu Chunniang passed by the practice ground and listened for a while, and then she realized that the outer sect competition, which is held every five years, was just a few days away.
There was some interest in her eyes. The competition among the top ten in the outer sect often represented the top combat power of the outer sect.
Now that you have encountered it, you have to observe it carefully.
Through this outer door competition, you can know in advance what level of strength you need to reach to enter the inner door.
Three days later, the outer gate ceremony was held as scheduled.
Xu Chunniang found a place to sit down early and waited patiently for the outer competition to begin.
The monks participating in this competition are basically at the ninth level of Qi training, and many of them are at the Great Perfection level of Qi training or even half-step foundation building.
There are a very few people who want to try their luck, so they sign up to participate in the competition at the eighth level of Qi training. Every time there is a competition, there is no shortage of people like this who want to try their luck.
It's just that people like this often find it difficult to even enter the top 100, let alone the top ten.
Those who have been able to enter the top ten of the competition in the past have all reached the state of Qi practice and perfection.
With the sound of passionate drums, the outer disciple competition, which is held every five years, finally kicked off.
A Jindan elder stepped onto the high platform, and after a few passionate words of encouragement, announced that the competition had officially begun.
The disciples participating in the competition were divided into four combat zones and competed simultaneously.
The top 100 in each war zone were determined, and a total of 400 disciples were selected.
This process is also called the qualifying round.
Only by winning consecutively and entering the top 100 in the qualifying battle zone will you have the opportunity to participate in the real outer sect competition.
There are thousands of people who sign up for each competition, and most of them will be eliminated in the preliminaries. Only a few capable experts can triumph all the way, rush into the competition, and have a chance to participate in the finals.
In the qualifiers, ten arenas will be set up in each theater to compete at the same time.
The arena in front of Xu Chunniang is written "Bing Qi", which means that this arena is the seventh arena in Area C among the four combat zones.
As the fight officially began, the two disciples stepped onto the ring and started a fierce fight at the referee's signal.
These two disciples are both female cultivators at the ninth level of qi training. One of them is good at swordsmanship. Without saying a word, she controls the flying sword to kill the other.
The other female cultivator was unhurried, dodging the flying swords, and at the same time continued to use spells to interfere with the opponent, not even using her spiritual weapon.
When the disciples who were watching saw this scene, they all started talking.
"That senior sister is too trusting. Faced with the attack of the flying sword, she blindly dodges. If she is not careful and is hit by the flying sword, she will be out of the game."
"She hasn't used the spiritual weapon for a long time. Does it mean she doesn't have a spiritual weapon?"
"How is it possible? Do you think that the senior sisters at the ninth level of Qi training are as poor as us? After so many years of accumulation, they won't even have low-grade spiritual weapons."
Everyone discussed for a while and decided that the senior sister was too trusting. No matter how sophisticated your body skills are, you will always make mistakes.
It would be dangerous if Feijian catches up with him if he makes the slightest mistake.
Xu Chunniang watched intently. She had different views on the battle in the ring.
The female cultivator who was avoiding the situation had a calm expression on her face, and she was obviously able to handle the flying sword with ease.
On the other hand, the other female cultivator's strong attack never worked, and her sword moves were a bit chaotic, indicating that her mentality was not as stable as it was at the beginning.
And more importantly, the spiritual energy consumption of the two people is very different.
The female cultivator who used the flying sword used the spiritual weapon for a long time, and the amount of spiritual power she consumed was astonishing.
The other female cultivator has never used a spiritual weapon from beginning to end, and her spiritual power is still sufficient. In addition to some ordinary spells, she has not even used too many killing moves and methods. She is obviously confident enough in her own strength and body skills.
.
Xu Chunniang was thoughtful, and she probably understood why this female cultivator had been avoiding her.
There were more than 5,000 people registered for this competition, and more than 1,000 people were assigned to each theater.
If you want to break into the top 100 in the qualifiers, you usually have to win three or four games in a row.
And in these three or four matches, basically the further you go, the opponents in each match will only become stronger and stronger.
The qualifiers are fast-paced and usually end within five days.
This also means that everyone who passes the qualifiers must continuously defeat increasingly stronger opponents within five days.
On the premise of not being injured, you must preserve your spiritual power as much as possible, but do not expose your methods and killer moves too early, so that you can stand out in the preliminaries and go further in the finals.
The female cultivator on the field had a mediocre attack and just avoided, probably not recognizing the person in front of her as her real opponent.
This was indeed the case, which made the swordswoman Xiu unable to defeat her for a long time. Her mood became more and more impatient, and several flaws appeared in her sword moves.
The evading female cultivator saw the right opportunity and finally advanced instead of retreating. He used the wind blade to kill the sword-wielding female cultivator and won the battle.
The female swordsman cultivator felt the cold murderous intent of the wind blade in front of her, and the flying sword instantly lost control and fell to the ground.
Reluctance and anger flashed in her eyes, but she could only say helplessly, "I admit defeat."
The fight does not involve life and death. If she does not admit defeat, the wind blade will cut more than just her clothes in the next second.
The disciples were in an uproar. They never expected that in this competition, the winner would be the one they were not optimistic about.
Some people don't even understand. Feijian has been attacking fiercely, so why did the situation suddenly turn around? Was it because of the luck of the female cultivator that she won?
However, as the next competition began in full swing, they put this matter behind them and watched the new competition with great interest.
Xu Chunniang was also attentive, watching the battle in front of her carefully, refusing to let go of every detail.
Watching other people's battles may give her some inspiration.
In the next few days, Xu Chunniang temporarily put aside her practice and came to watch the competition every day.
The Outer Sect Competition is only held once every five years and lasts for ten days. No matter how urgent the practice is, these few days will not be wasted.
The preliminaries lasted for a total of five days. After five days, the 400 winners will participate in the official competition.
The official competition is divided into two rounds. The first round lasts for three days. The top 50 will be determined in three competitions, and the other 350 will be eliminated directly.
The second round is the finals, which lasts for two days and the rules are slightly changed.
Fifty people will be divided into ten groups. Five people in the group will compete in pairs, and each person will compete with the other four people in the group.
The ones with the most wins in each group are the top ten in this competition.
