"Sect competition?" Shen Ying's hand holding the pastry paused, "What is that?"
"It's equivalent to a competition of skills between various sects." Gu Yue explained, "All sects and families in the Shangqing Realm can participate. There are three groups according to the level of cultivation, Qi training, foundation building and golden elixir. The top three with the highest scores will be rewarded by the organizer.”
"Going to the Youth Olympics?"
"You can say that." He nodded and said, "It's just a sect competition, which is held only once every ten years. This time it happens to be three days later."
"Oh..." Shen Ying looked uninterested, "Can I not go?"
"No!" Gu Yue glared at her, "I went to Shangqingcheng yesterday to sign up for the competition in the name of the Invincible Sect. This competition is hosted by the Yin family of the four major families, and the location is in Yintian City. We will compete tomorrow We must go.”
As she said that, she handed over the participation token directly.
Shen Ying did not answer, but looked at the sign with the word "Sports" written on it, "Well... why do you have to participate? There are not many of us." Isn't it good to stay at home and eat?
"You're still asking me why?" Gu Yue exploded immediately, "What's the situation of our sect? Don't you have any idea in mind? In addition, there are only twelve people in our three cities, and there are only twelve people in a whole year! You have been completely trained in physical training, do you look like a sect at all?"
"Uh... twelve is pretty good." Just enough to clean the house.
"Good on you sister! Have you ever seen a sect with so few people?" Thinking of the nine future steel Barbies, his liver ached, okay? "If we don't do some advertising and gain some popularity, we will never think about it. I have recruited other disciples. Besides, I have tested the skills of nine of them. Although it is a little difficult to challenge the higher level, their foundation is... solid!" He gritted his teeth before spitting out these two words, "Anyway, between the same level The competition is still very advantageous. This time when I go to the competition, I don’t have high requirements. It would be great if one of them can get in the top ten. At least let people know the strength of our Invincible faction."
"Oh..." It turned out that I was working as an advertising department for publicity.
"So not only are they going to participate, in order to prevent anyone from looking down on them, we all have to go, including you!" After saying that, he directly grabbed her hand and forced the participation token into her hand, "What's your best choice tomorrow?" You better get up early, otherwise..." His face darkened, and he said word by word, "Next month's food expenses will be cancelled!"
Shen Ying was stunned, her laziness suddenly shook, and she grabbed the competition card tightly.
"Dad Niu, what you said makes so much sense!" He turned around and said seriously to the person next to him, "Cook, for the sake of the future of the sect, work overtime tonight! Hurry up and prepare some cold dishes, pastries, fast food, fruits, etc. We must not starve our Olympic athletes when we eat on the road! Do you understand?"
"Okay Master, no problem Master!"
Gu Yue: "..."
After all, I still can’t forget to eat!

Yintian City is located to the east of Shangqingjie and is considered the largest fairy city in the east. It took Shen Ying and his party a whole day to get to the city before dark.
The Yin family is indeed the richest among the four major families. After they showed their participation tokens, someone led the group to an independent courtyard specially designed for the contestants to rest. Although the courtyard is not as wide as the Invincible family, it is It is more than enough for a dozen people to rest. Moreover, each sect is independent. According to Gu Yue's inquiry, there are thousands of large and small sects who come to participate in the sect competition. This shows that the Yin family is very wealthy. .
"The competition won't start until tomorrow. Let's have a good rest tonight." Gu Yue glanced at the nine girls in front of him. It might be their first time to participate in such a formal competition. They all seemed a little nervous, so he could only comfort him in a deep voice. , "You guys are not bad at it, just relax. It's good to get in the top ten, but if you can't, just admit defeat and don't have to fight hard."
Several people nodded, and they looked at Shen Ying next to them intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes sparkling. Lone Yue also subconsciously turned her head and looked over.
After Shen Ying finished chewing a piece of fruit, she raised her head and was instantly caught in the glare of eyes. She choked and said, "Ahem...is something wrong?"
Gu Yue's lips twitched, she glared at her and said, "Don't you have something to give them?"
"Is there...?" What?
"Master, these are defensive bells." Yi Qing directly took out a string of identical small bells and handed them to her, "The defensive magic weapon I practiced all night last night can block a full blow from the Nascent Soul monk."
"Although it is an upright competition, there is no guarantee that there will be no narrow-minded people who will kill me." Gu Yue explained, "You should bring this defensive weapon with you during the competition, just in case."
Shen Ying then remembered that this was the sect benefit that Father Niu had said he would share yesterday, so she quickly took it, opened it one by one, and distributed it to everyone.
Girl in red.
"Come on Xiaohong, come on!"
"Yes, Master." He accepted it happily.
Girl in white.
"Xiaobai, come on!"
"Yes, Master." An Xi took it.
Girl in blue.
"Xiaolan, come on!"
"Yes, Master." He accepted it with joy.
The second girl in white.
"Xiaobai...Rabbit, come on!"
"Yes, Master." He accepted it happily.
…
Gu Yue: "..." Haha, I have despaired of someone's method of recording someone's name.
Shen Ying continued to post, then coughed and said in a rare and serious tone, "The important thing is to participate. Just work hard. Ranking is not important. After all, friendship comes first and competition comes second! I am optimistic about you."
Everyone looked excited and carefully took the bell distributed by Shen Ying into their arms, as if they had received some rare treasure. They were so excited that they were about to jump up accidentally. Their eyes instantly shone brightly, and they all turned towards her. After saluting, everyone began to express their determination firmly.
"Thank you, Master! We will work hard."
"For the leader, for the Invincible Faction!"
"Don't worry, Master! We will definitely bring honor to the faction!"
"We will take the leader's blessing and participate in the competition."
"The master is with us!"
Gu Yue: "..."
Yiqing: "..."
He is obviously the one leading the team, and Yi Qing is the one practicing weapons. What's the matter with Guan Chenying? What kind of fuss are you looking at with your expressions of excitement for receiving idol gifts?
MDZZ!

Because there were so few people, the Invincible faction only signed up for the two stages of the competition, Foundation Building and Golden Elixir. Among them, Yu Hong, Siyu, and two other girls, a total of four people entered the Golden Elixir group. The other five people are participating in the foundation building group. Gu Yue’s goal is that the foundation building group can enter the top ten. After all, it is very promising that two of the five people in the foundation building group will be successful in foundation building.
Among the four people who are in Jindan, except Yu Hong, who is in the middle stage of Jindan, the other three are in the early stage of Jindan, and Siyu has just formed the elixir. If you want to stand out from a group of late-stage Jindan, or even Jindan Dzogchen, it is better to stand out. There are difficulties.
Although they are stronger physical practitioners than sword cultivators, the attack methods they have learned in the past year are all sword moves, and they have never fought against anyone, so they lack experience. Even the feminine techniques they used before will probably not be used again. .
