Chapter 176 Competition Results (1/2)
"Have you heard? The sect master will not show up for this inner sect competition, but will be hosted by Elder Gu He?"
"Elder Gu He?"
Hearing this name, the inner sect disciples of Yun Lan Sect beside him immediately showed respect on their faces.
In Yun Lan Sect, the reputation of Dan Wang Gu He is almost the same as Yun Yun, the sect master of Yun Lan Sect.
Therefore, knowing that Gu He will host this conference, some inner sect disciples are not only not disappointed, but excited.
All disciples of Yun Lan Sect know that the sect master does not want to accept disciples anymore.
So even if they perform well in the inner sect competition, they cannot be accepted as disciples by the sect master.
But Elder Gu He is different.
After all, during this period, every time Gu He went out, he brought back a disciple.
This also made his reputation of "being a good teacher" gradually resound throughout the Yun Lan Sect.
And this also made many self-important disciples of Yun Lan Sect have the confidence that "I can become a disciple if I go."
In addition, Elder Gu He is a sixth-grade alchemist.
If you can catch the eye of Elder Gu He, you will be able to ascend to heaven in one step.
"I also heard that Elder Gu He will not only host this inner sect competition, but also let his disciples participate in this inner sect competition."
"What, you mean Senior Brother Liu Ling and Senior Sister Xiao Yixian, they will also participate in this inner sect competition?"
"Aren't they alchemists? How did you think of participating in the inner sect competition?"
"I don't know about this... But, speaking of which, I am definitely not as good as Senior Brother Liu Ling in alchemy, but if it is a martial arts competition, Senior Brother Liu Ling may not be able to beat me."
Before the ranking competition started, the inner sect disciples in the square had already surrounded several arenas and talked about it.
The objects of discussion were all famous figures among the inner sect disciples.
Gu He was the host of this competition, and his disciples were also regarded as the objects of discussion by some disciples.
However, regarding their strength, no one obviously considered him to be on the same level as those influential figures, let alone being compared with Nalan Yanran, who was known as the first genius of Yunlan Sect.
Regarding the speculation on the victory or defeat between Liu Ling and Xiao Yixian and Nalan Yanran, the inner disciples obviously leaned towards Nalan Yanran and others.
"Look, Senior Brother Yun, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Zhang... these elite inner disciples have arrived."
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the inner disciples in the square.
Sure enough, the inner elite disciples who participated in the ranking competition had already walked towards the square.
Also coming were many elders and deacons led by Yun Ling, the great elder of Yunlan Sect.
There was an open space under the building in front of the square and between the arena. No ordinary disciple stepped into this area. The inner elite disciples who came walked directly into this open space.
Each inner elite disciple had a number on his body, ranked from 1 to 1016 according to the highest cultivation level.
The elders and deacons who came with the elite disciples walked directly into the square and walked to the stands on the east side of the eight arenas.
The great elder Yun Leng brought two elders to the front of the elite disciples. There was a long row of tables with a long box on top of the tables.
"Is Elder Gu He not here yet?"
Yun Leng looked around and asked the second elder beside him with some doubt.
The second elder shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, Yun Leng frowned slightly and looked a little ugly.
In his heart, he had long been dissatisfied with Yun Yun letting Gu He come forward to preside over the inner sect competition this time.
According to reason, even if the sect master was not free to preside over the competition, he should let the great elder come forward to preside over it.
When was it Elder Gu He's turn again?
Of course, even if Yun Leng was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say much.
After all, Gu He was a sixth-grade alchemist, and he didn't want to offend him because of such a small matter.
"Elder Gu He is here!"
Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd. The elder looked over and saw Gu He in a white robe approaching.
Behind him, there were three figures, namely Xiao Yixian, Nalan Yanran, and Liu Ling.
"Elder, I am a little late, please forgive me." Gu He stepped forward and came to Yun Leng, smiling and apologizing, with a gentle attitude.
In front of Gu He, Yun Leng didn't dare to show his displeasure even if he was upset. A flattering smile appeared on his old face: "Elder Gu He, that's not right. The competition hasn't started yet, so there's no such thing as being late."
Gu He nodded slightly and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start. The elder should know the process. Please start announcing the rules."
Hearing this, the elder Yun Leng smiled and nodded.
After letting Nalan Yanran and the other two receive their numbers, the Great Elder then came to a box nearby and shouted loudly towards the square: "The rules of this inner sect competition are the same as in previous years. I believe everyone already knows it."
After saying that, the Great Elder pointed to the box in front of him: "In this box, there are the numbers of all the seventh-level disciples. Now, starting from number 1, draw your opponent's number from this box and compete. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated. This elder declares that the inner sect competition will begin now."
As the voice of the Great Elder Yun Leng fell, the disciple ranked number 1 walked out.
Gu He looked at No. 1 who was walking out of the crowd. This was a young man in white, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
He had seen this young man in white before. He seemed to be the grandson of the great elder. His name was Yun Luo. He was considered a good seedling in the Yun Lan Sect.
Unfortunately, he did not meet Gu He's standard for accepting disciples.
At this moment, Yun Luo walked to the box, reached out and took out a token from it, and handed it to the great elder Yun Leng.
The great elder took the token and said loudly: "First round, first match, No. 1 Yun Luo, against No. 799 Huang Tao, No. 1 ring."
The deacon next to him had already prepared a pen and ink to record the players in this round.
Among the inner sect elite disciples, a young man about seventeen years old was shocked. The number on his body was exactly 799. He was Huang Tao who was fighting against No. 1 Yun Luo.
There is no doubt that Huang Tao's luck was terrible. He was picked by Yun Luo, who was ranked No. 1. The result is predictable. He was defeated in one move and was eliminated in the first round. He could only compete for the ranking after 508th.
Yun Luo and Huang Tao went to the No. 1 ring. Then, the No. 2 disciple came out and drew a number from the box and handed it to the elder.
The great elder said loudly: "Round 1, match 2, No. 2 Zhang Long, vs. No. 833 Li Yuan, Arena 2."
"Round 1, match 3, No. 3 Lin Hao, vs. No. 468 Zhao Pu, Arena 3."
"Round 1, match 4, No. 4 Lin Wuying, vs. No. 1003 Xie Dong, Arena 4."
"Round 1, match 5, No. 5 Li Yichang, vs. No. 941 Ding Yongsheng, Arena 5."
"Round 1, match 6, No. 6 Liang Zhong, vs. No. 988 Lou Jiaxiang, Arena 6."
"Round 1, match 7, No. 7 Ma Tao, vs. No. 563 Chen Wentao, Arena 7."
"Round 1, match 8, No. 8 Gu Xi, vs. No. 497 Gao Li, Arena 8."
From No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 to No. 8, one by one, the inner door elite disciples went to the box and drew a one-star Dou disciple as the opponent. The faces of the disciples drawn were all gloomy.
There are 549 one-star fighters in total, and there are only 467 two-star fighters, three-star fighters, and three-star fighters in total. That is to say, after 467 games, there are still 82 people left, all of whom are disciples of the seventh level.
These 82 people will fight among people of the same level, and 41 of them have the opportunity to win and advance to the next round.
After all, there are very few geniuses who can fight super battles. Most of the disciples can only compete with the same level.
Those who were drawn before were either fighting against disciples with three-star fighters or above, or against disciples with three-star fighters and two-star fighters. The possibility of them advancing to the next round is almost zero. WeNXuEmi.Cc
Therefore, the one-star fighters who were drawn all looked gloomy, and those who were not drawn were secretly happy, but also nervous, afraid that they would be the next one to be drawn.
…
The competition went very quickly. Without exception, the one-star fighters who were drawn earlier either gave up as soon as they entered the ring or were directly defeated by the three-star fighters or above.
Later, it was the turn of the three-star fighters to draw lots. The one-star fighters who were drawn were no exception and were quickly defeated.
Until the two-star fighters drew lots, although the one-star fighters still lost, they were finally able to compete with the two-star fighters. The battle began to lengthen and the game began to slow down.
…
…
"First round, 466th match, No. 466 Liu Ling, vs. No. 689 Gu Jiang, No. 2 ring."
More than an hour passed, and No. 466 finally started.
Later, Liu Ling and the others were assigned these numbers by the elder. After waiting for so long, it was finally his turn to draw lots.
He walked to the box, pulled out a token with 955 written on it, and handed it to the elder.
The elder said loudly: "First round, 467th match, No. 467 Liu Ling, against No. 955 Qu Xiang, No. 3 ring."
Hearing this, Liu Ling went directly to No. 3 ring, and his opponent Qu Xiang was already on the ring.
Around No. 3 ring, many disciples were watching at this moment.
As a disciple of Elder Gu He, Liu Ling, these inner disciples also wanted to see what was special about this disciple of the Dan King.
Liu Ling walked onto the ring step by step.
Opposite him, Qu Xiang was a little nervous and excited.
What made him nervous was that Liu Ling was already famous, and he was also a disciple of the Dan King Gu He, which made him feel daunted.
What made him excited was that if he could defeat Liu Ling in this battle, then his reputation would definitely soar to the sky.
If he could be favored by the Dan King, it would be a great opportunity.
Thinking of this, Qu Xiang suddenly became much more excited, holding the sword to Liu Ling and said: "I am Qu Xiang, Senior Brother Liu Ling, please give me some advice."
Hearing this, Liu Ling raised his hand and said: "Please."
Qu Xiang pretended to be modest and said: "Senior Brother Liu Ling, please go first."
Liu Ling smiled faintly and said in a pretentious way: "Junior Brother, you should make a move, otherwise you will have no chance to make a move after I make a move."
Hearing this, Qu Xiang's eyes twitched, and he was despised by Liu Ling, and he suddenly felt a little angry.
Since the match had already begun, Qu Xiang did not remind him anymore. He bent his legs slightly, kicked hard, and his whole body, like a cheetah, suddenly rushed forward.
Yellow-level top-grade fighting skill, Leopard Step.
With a flash of light, Qu Xiang drew out the sword in his hand in an instant, and the dazzling sword light pierced forward like lightning, piercing Liu Ling's chest.
"Good!"
Qu Xiang's move was like a cheetah's sudden attack, as fast as lightning, and like flowing clouds and water, smooth and natural, from static to dynamic, very harmonious, and before people could react, the sword had already slashed over.
Qu Xiang's sword was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached Liu Ling's chest.
The disciples under the ring were watching closely to see how Liu Ling would resolve it. Among them, many were elite inner disciples who had already finished the first round of the competition.
Looking at this scene, Liu Ling's expression did not change, and he smiled faintly, stepping on the whirlwind under his feet, and his figure flashed directly away.
Xuan-level high-level fighting skill, Stepping on the Wind!
This was a fighting skill that Yun Yun had given to Gu He, and was later given to Liu Ling by Gu He.
While performing the Wind-Stepping Footwork to dodge, Liu Ling's mind moved, urging the Purple Eagle Flame in his body. With an eagle's cry, a purple flame ray burst out from Liu Ling's fingers and blasted directly at Qu Xiang.
Extreme Yang Finger, a high-level fighting skill of the Xuan level!
The Extreme Yang Finger was extremely fast, and Qu Xiang was naturally unable to dodge it. He was hit by the Extreme Yang Finger and fell on the ring.
Liu Ling only used one-third of his strength in this Extreme Yang Finger. Otherwise, with Qu Xiang's strength, he would be able to kill him with one finger.
Qu Xiang was hit by the Extreme Yang Finger and was seriously injured. He immediately exclaimed: "I admit defeat, Senior Brother Liu Ling, I admit defeat."
Liu Ling smiled and floated away from the ring.
On the elders' stage, Gu He looked at Liu Ling's performance, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This brat is too good at pretending, isn't he?
The news that Liu Ling defeated the enemy with one move quickly spread, and he became famous from then on.
Next, Xiao Yixian and Nalan Yanran also took the stage.
There was no suspense. With Liu Ling's example of defeating the enemy with one move, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yixian were not to be outdone, and they also defeated each other with one move.
With the current strength of the three people, all the disciples of Yunlan Sect were not their opponents.
As the inner sect competition progressed, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was three days later.
At this moment, the inner sect competition also entered the third round.
In the end, only eight inner sect elite disciples, including Nalan Yanran and the other three, remained.
As for the final result, it was obvious that the top three places were occupied by Liu Ling and the others.
Xiao Yixian, with a four-star master cultivation, ranked first in the competition.
Liu Ling, with a nine-star master cultivation, ranked second in the competition.
Nalan Yanran, with a nine-star fighter cultivation, ranked third in the competition.
For such a result, both the inner disciples of Yunlan Sect and the elders were obviously unable to accept it.
Two alchemists took the first two places?
Senior Sister Nalan was only the third place?
