Chapter 71: Disciple Competition

The leader of Lingxian Sect has arrived!

On the back of the exclusive spiritual crane, there are two more people.

One of them is Mu Sheng, and the other is a young man in white. This is the third disciple of the leader of Lingxian Sect, Wu Yang!

When the disciples of Lingxian Sect saw these two people, they all showed deep fear in their eyes.

There is a ranking list of disciples' strength in Lingxian Sect, and Mu Sheng has always firmly occupied the top of the list, which is why he was so arrogant when facing Zhang Yun.

Perhaps Mu Sheng is a little worse than the elders in the Jindan period. But among the disciples of Lingxian Sect, he is the most outstanding.

And Wu Yang is not bad either, and can be ranked in the top five disciples of Lingxian Sect in terms of strength.

[Mu Sheng]

Realm: Peak of the Foundation Establishment Period

Cultivated skills and combat techniques: Triple Spiritual Sword Technique, Inch Fist Strength...

Weakness: Weak spiritual attributes, afraid of strong pressure and soul-related means

…

[Wu Yang]

Realm: Peak of the Foundation Establishment Period

Constitution: Top-grade Fire Spiritual Root

Cultivated Skills and Combat Techniques: Spiritual Fire Art, Fire King Fist…

Weakness: Uses fire spirit energy as the main means. If encounters a water-attributed cultivator whose spirit energy purity is higher than that of fire spirit energy, it will be defeated instantly.

…

Zhang Yun specially activated the Immortal Eye Art to take a look, and sent a message to Xu Ming and the other two below: “If you encounter these two people next, Shui’er will be responsible for dealing with Wu Yang. As for Mu Sheng, Ming’er, you will directly release the Golden Dragon’s pressure to suppress him, and Xiaopang will be responsible for attacking!”

Xu Ming and the other two were stunned when they heard this, and nodded to him on the high platform.

Zhang Yun said nothing more.

In this disciple competition, Mu Sheng and the other two were the most difficult to deal with among the disciples, so he had to be on guard.

After all, it was difficult to guarantee that Mu Sheng could not beat him and would not have any ideas about his apprentice.

As the leader of the Lingxian Sect arrived, other elders of the Lingxian Sect also arrived one after another.

When the eighteen elders arrived.

The leader of Lingxian Sect stood up and said loudly to the disciples who had already arrived: "Disciples present, you may be a little confused. Why is this year's disciple competition advanced? Here I tell you that the reason for the advance is that this year happens to be the year of the sect competition. And this sect competition will start early due to special reasons. In order to cater to the time, the disciple competition can only be advanced!"

After a pause, "Maybe some disciples don't know about this sect competition. It is a grand event jointly organized by the thirty-six sects in our Nanyun Province. It is held every three years, and all the participants are the top genius disciples in Nanyun Province. As one of the organizers, our sect will have fifty places to participate. And these fifty places will be directly allocated to the fifty disciples who perform best in this disciple competition!"

"In order to motivate everyone, all the disciples who enter the top fifty in this competition will not only get the quota to participate in the sect competition. Each person will be rewarded with a good weapon and two thousand spirit stones!"

Wow!

As soon as these words fell, the venue was in an uproar.

Many young disciples had bright eyes.

Let alone sharp weapons, two thousand spirit stones alone were enough to make them crazy!

For disciples like them, unless the master gave them, the normal supply from the sect was only five hundred spirit stones a year. This was the treatment of high-level disciples in the foundation-building period. Most of the disciples in the middle and low levels of the foundation-building period could only get two or three hundred spirit stones a year. There were even fewer disciples in the Qi-refining period.

Therefore, when they practiced, most of the spirit stones were broken into two pieces.

Two thousand spirit stones were a huge sum of money for them!

If they could get it, it would be enough for them to practice wantonly for a while!

Looking at the many excited disciples present, Xu Ming and the other two looked at each other.

Although this amount of spirit stones was not small according to the normal thinking of the disciples, it didn't seem to be necessary to be so excited. Well, the main reason was that the master gave them spirit stones in thousands of pieces every time.

The three couldn't help but look at Zhang Yun on the high platform.

Thinking about it now, they realized how lucky they were to worship this master!

"This year's disciple competition is divided into two rounds..."

The leader of Lingxian Sect spoke again at this time, "The first round is a melee. Disciples, you should have seen the disciple tower, right? Yes, this is the venue for your first round!"

"The disciple tower is divided into five floors. Starting from the second floor, each floor has some such flags..."

As he said, he took out a palm-sized flag with a "spiritual" word embroidered on it: "What you have to do is to enter it to get a flag, then climb to the fifth floor of the disciple tower and insert the flag on the wall of the fifth floor. There are only one hundred such flags in the disciple tower. This means that only one hundred disciples will be able to enter the next round in the end!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the disciples present were all condensed.

You know, there are nearly a thousand disciples present. Only one hundred people can advance, the difficulty is self-evident!

"The four doors on the first floor of the Disciple Tower have been opened. All disciples should go to the tower door and prepare to enter!"

After hearing the words of the Lingxian Sect leader, nearly a thousand disciples on the scene moved together and rushed to the Disciple Tower at the edge of the venue.

On the first floor of the tower, there are four gates in four directions, each of which is nearly ten meters wide, enough to accommodate dozens of people rushing in together.

At this moment, nearly a thousand disciples were divided into four groups and came to the four gates, squeezing each other to stand in front.

Some disciples could not even hold back their spiritual energy.

"Before the announcement of the start of this sect, no one can use spiritual energy, and those who violate it will be eliminated directly!"

The words of the leader of the Lingxian Sect made these disciples tremble and quickly restrain their spiritual energy.

For a while, those who failed to squeeze to the front of the four tower gates could only stand at the back honestly.

Of course, some disciples did not deliberately squeeze at all and stood directly at the back.

Among them were Mu Sheng, Wu Yang, and the chief disciples of the elders.

This is a manifestation of confidence!

Zhang Yun was staring at the gate on the south side of the tower. At this moment, Xu Ming and the other two did not squeeze, but stood at the back and waited quietly.

The other elders also noticed it.

In their opinion, Xu Ming and the other two knew that there was little hope, so they didn't want to fight!

After all, no matter how strong Zhang Yun is now, his three disciples have just started. It is basically impossible to get a good ranking in the disciple competition!

Looking at Zhang Yun's name on the stone pillar next to him, many elders sneered secretly.

This ranking will be withdrawn soon!

Because of the tight time this year, the first round directly adopted this form of mixed elimination. In their opinion, this form is the most disadvantageous to Zhang Yun.

The elders' scores in the disciple competition are based on the comprehensive performance of the disciples in the competition. It is the most difficult to perform well in this kind of mixed battle.

And...

Many elders looked at the back of the south side of the tower, where in addition to Xu Ming and the other two, Mu Sheng and Wu Yang were standing.

Looking at Mu Sheng's posture, they didn't need to guess what he wanted to do.

In front of the south gate of the tower.

Mu Sheng looked at Xu Ming and the other two in front of him with a sneer on his face, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yun on the high platform from a distance.

He has been waiting for this opportunity for revenge for a long time!

He had been embarrassed several times, so today he had to embarrass Zhang Yun no matter what he said!

As long as Xu Ming and the other two were eliminated, even if Zhang Yun had the highest score now, he would definitely fall out of the top three in the end.

Although Zhang Yun's current strength was justified, the dismissal was approved at the previous meeting after all.

The leader would definitely not cheat.

By then...

Thinking of this, Mu Sheng and many people who disliked Zhang Yun sneered secretly.

"Listen to my orders now!"

At this time, the leader of Lingxian Sect spoke.

Outside the disciple tower, many disciples were all tense.

"Competition..."

The leader of Lingxian Sect raised his hand and waved it down vigorously.

"Begin!"

...
