While Xu Chunniang was refining the spiritual weapons and preparing for the outer sect competition, other monks who were interested in participating in the competition were not idle either.
The Outer Sect Competition is the most important thing for almost all Outer Sect disciples.
If you become one of the top ten in the competition, you will get the Foundation Building Pill.
With the Foundation Building Pill, you have the possibility of building a foundation.
As many outer sect monks worked hard day and night, the new outer sect competition finally kicked off.
There was a long queue at the practice ground, all monks who came to sign up for this competition.
Most of them are monks at the ninth level of Qi training, and occasionally there are a few who are at the eighth level and have perfected Qi training.
Everyone was either excited, confident of victory, or anxious.
"This is already the sixth external competition I have participated in. If I am not successful this time, I may not be able to wait until the next time."
An old monk with white hair on his face and a strong spirit spoke softly, with a look of determination in his eyes.
He even entered the top 50 twice, but ultimately lost.
A monk who signed up next to him laughed at him, "Old man Song, I heard that you had a chance to enter the inner gate back then. Is it true or not? If you had really entered, I'm afraid you would have established the foundation by now. Hahaha, do you regret it now?"
Someone frowned and said bluntly, "Senior Brother Song Wen'an has been defeated five times, but he has been defeated repeatedly. Isn't this spirit worth learning from? People who practice Taoism should face disastrous defeats head-on and not be afraid of difficulties. I think Senior Brother Song
Very admirable!"
"That's right, in the past few years, Senior Sister Xiao Shuang and Senior Brother Gufeng both reached the top ten of the outer sect by relying on their own strength and won the Foundation Establishment Pill. Later, they succeeded in establishing the Foundation and became inner sect disciples. I think you are not as good as Senior Brother Song.
A lot!”
The person who spoke earlier was a little embarrassed, "I admit that Senior Sister Xiao and Senior Brother Gu are great, but there is no comparison between the proud people like them."
"Senior Sister Xiao Shuang has three spiritual roots, and Senior Brother Gu has five spiritual roots. If this spiritual root qualification can be considered a genius, wouldn't it mean that you and I are also geniuses?"
"This... Even so, there are really only a few examples like Senior Sister Xiao and Senior Brother Gu. I think it is not as reliable as joining the inner sect as a guard."
"No one will stop you if you want to go. If others don't want it, that's their business. Unfortunately, Senior Brother Neimen doesn't like you at all."
The man was speechless and blushing after being talked about. After signing up, he hurriedly left, and the argument between several people was finally over.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and had respect for the white-haired Senior Brother Song.
Having suffered five defeats but still having the determination to fight again and again, this kind of character is really rare.
I hope that this time, Senior Brother Song can go further in the outer sect competition.
Xu Chunniang stood in line while listening to other people's discussions, and finally reached the front of the line a quarter of an hour later.
Sitting at the top is a Foundation Establishment monk. She looks quite young, but many Foundation Establishment monks use beauty elixirs. I wonder if her real age is as young as that.
She glanced at Xu Chunniang and said quietly, "Name, cultivation level."
"Xu Chunniang, at the ninth level of Qi training, sign up for the outer sect competition."
"Yijiu Arena, No. 67."
With that said, the female foundation-building cultivator handed her a bamboo tablet.
Xu Chunniang took a look at the bamboo card. The front of the bamboo card said Yi Jiu, and the back said the word "Six Seven", which meant that she was assigned to the ninth arena in the B battle zone and was the sixty-seventh in the Yi Jiu arena.
applicants.
She already knew the rules of the outer sect competition.
During the preliminaries, the disciples will be divided into four battle zones: A, B, C and D, and the top 100 disciples will be selected from each zone.
There are ten arenas in each war zone. If they are divided equally, the ten best players will be selected for almost every arena.
In other words, you have to win three or four games in a row in the qualifiers to become the top 100 and qualify to participate in the next competition.
Xu Chunniang put away the bamboo cards and did not go back to the far away cave. Instead, she went to the teaching hall to find a room and quietly waited for the competition to begin.
Three days later, the outer sect competition officially kicked off, and the four theaters A, B, C and D started competing in full swing at the same time.
During the competition, countless outer disciples stopped what they were doing and came to watch the battle.
The practice ground was crowded and lively.
The disciples discussed the candidates who are expected to compete for the top ten, with burning eyes, hoping that one day they can stand out in the competition like these senior brothers and sisters.
"Senior Sister Lan Wei's competition has begun. I heard that she has been assigned to the Jialiu Arena. Come and have a look at Senior Sister."
"Senior Sister Lan had hoped to be among the top ten in the last outer sect competition. Unfortunately, she had bad luck. She encountered strong enemies one after another and was seriously injured. She was defeated by one point in the final competition."
"Senior Brother Xia Changge signed up late and was assigned to the Dingsi Arena. I heard that his first fight is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Senior Brother Xia to show up today, so we might as well go to the Bingsan Arena
, let’s go see Senior Brother Gan Yiqiu.”
"Very good, very good. You have to hurry up and get a seat, otherwise you won't be able to get in if you get there late."
There are no well-known masters in the Yijiu Arena where Xu Chunniang is, so the number of disciples watching the battle here is smaller than in some popular arenas.
The competition was based on serial numbers. With her serial number, she would have to wait more than thirty games before it was her turn.
Therefore, she arrived late on purpose. When she arrived, it was No. 61 and No. 62 participating in the battle on the Yijiu Arena, and it would be her turn soon.
Xu Chunniang unhurriedly pinned the small bamboo sign to her clothes, and the disciples watching the battle realized that there was a contestant sitting around them.
"On the 67th, we will end soon. I remember that this senior sister just came here not long ago."
"Maybe she is confident. You can see that she looks very calm and not nervous at all. Some senior brothers and sisters are so nervous before a battle that their foreheads sweat, and their hands are so trembling that they can't even hold their swords steadily."
"What kind of confidence? She looks very strange to me, she seems to be here to try her luck. Anyway, for them, losing is normal, winning is an unexpected surprise."
While several disciples around were discussing, the two people on the stage had already decided the winner.
"No. 67 Xu Chunniang versus No. 68 Wu Shen."
As Uncle Foundation Architect finished speaking, Xu Chunniang stood up and walked towards the arena.
At the same time, a burly black-faced monk walked towards the ring from the other side.
There was an uproar below the ring, "It's actually Senior Brother Wu Shen. I followed his team deep into the Hundred Demons Mountains. Senior Brother Wu is not only highly cultivated, but also gifted with divine power. His opponent is going to be unlucky."
"With the strength of Senior Brother Wu Shen, let alone the top ten, at least the top 100 is stable. It seems that this battle will be over soon."
Listening to the words under the ring, a smile flashed in Wu Shen's eyes, and he said to the female monk opposite, "This junior sister has no eyes for swords. I won't show mercy when I start to attack, so you have to be careful.
"
Wu Shen seemed to be giving a friendly reminder, but in fact he was putting pressure on the other party, making him timid before fighting.
But his abacus failed with Xu Chunniang. She nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, senior brother. Please be more careful, senior brother."
Wu Shen choked, it seemed that this junior sister did not take him seriously.
That's all, let her see how powerful she is in a while. Let her know that the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi training is nothing, it is just the threshold for the competition.
Following the order from Master Architect Uncle Wu Shen, he immediately started to move.
