70: 67 Xiaobi_1 70: 67 Xiaobi_1 Green Cloud Peak currently has five hundred and thirty-two disciples; those over sixty years old cannot participate in the junior competition, eliminating a batch of disciples.
So disciples were out carrying out missions, while others had insufficient cultivation levels.
According to the results from past junior competitions, even the disciples ranked in the top fifty had at least the Qi Refinent seventh layer.
The disciples gathered in groups of threes and twos, forming multiple small groups.
As ti trickled by, more and more Qi Refining disciples arrived, with the number exceeding three hundred.
Qian Dafu also ca, walking over to Shen Long and chatting with him and a few others.
“Senior Brother Chen and Senior Sister Chen have also arrived; they placed seventh and fifth in the last junior competition.
This ti they should be contenders for first place,”
Qian Dafu whispered.
Shen Long looked in the direction Qian Dafu pointed and saw a handso young man in white and a young girl in a water-blue horse-faced skirt; both had Qi Refinent ninth layer.
More than twenty Qi Refining cultivators were gathered around them, with the lowest having achieved at least the Qi Refinent sixth layer.
The young man in white was called Chen Tai, and the girl in the blue skirt was Chen Yue; they were siblings, born from the sa mother.
After a short while, Qin Shan and over a dozen Qi Refining cultivators walked out from Green Cloud Palace.
“Disciples participating in the junior competition, co over to register and prepare for the tournant draw,”
Qin Shan said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Long and others hurriedly walked over to Qin Shan and lined up to register.
In less than half an hour, Qin Shan had finished the registration; a total of three hundred and forty-five Qi Refining cultivators were participating, with the lowest at the Qi Refinent fourth layer.
Making it into the top fifty from the Qi Refinent fourth layer was highly unlikely; their participation in the junior competition was rely to test their own strength.
Qin Shan had soone bring over a large number of green bamboo slips, which he placed into a green cauldron.
Each slip bore a number.
The disciples participating in the junior competition drew slips, then registered, and those with the sa number would face off on the platforms.
After the registration was complete, Qin Shan entered the Green Cloud Palace, where Liu Xian and a tall man in blue were chatting.
The man in blue was none other than Xu Hai, Peak Master of Green Cloud Peak, who did not really care to leave his retreat unless it was necessary for a Foundation Establishnt cultivator to preside over the junior competition.
Each exterior peak had two Foundation Establishnt cultivators, mainly in charge of managing the daily life and cultivation of Qi Refining cultivators, teaching them, and training more talent for the Spirt Control Sect.
Xu Hai was only interested in the benefits of being a Peak Master; he had no interest in urging Qi Refining disciples to cultivate and generally managed nothing, delegating all affairs, big and small, to Liu Xian.
Qin Shan ca in and reported, “Master Uncle Xu, Master Uncle Liu, the registration is complete; three hundred and forty-five people are participating in the junior competition, and the draw is done with no issues.”
“Then let’s begin!
Let remind everyone once again, do not harm your fellow sect mbers, even if it’s by accident, the sect will not show leniency,”
Xu Hai ordered.
If a disciple were killed during the junior competition, both Xu Hai and Liu Xian would be troubled.
“Yes, Master Uncle Xu,”
Qin Shan replied and set off to carry out the order.
Leaving Green Cloud Palace, Qin Shan led the disciples to the platform arena, where there were fifty blue stone platforms, each a few hundred feet in size, marked with corresponding numbers.
“Those who drew numbers one to fifty, move to the corresponding platforms and prepare for the competition.
I remind you, the junior competition stops when a hit lands, do not harm life, whether intentionally or accidentally.
Enforcent Hall will not show leniency, and you all should know the sect rules,”
Qin Shan said.
All disciples were required to spend a period of ti studying in the Teaching Pavilion, knowing the sect rules by heart.
“Yes, Senior Brother Qin,”
Shen Long and the other disciples said in unison, their voices echoing to the heavens.
Shen Long drew the number forty-eight slip and walked towards platform forty-eight.
His opponent was a white-skirted young matron in her thirties, with three spirit beast bags tied around her waist, possessing Qi Refinent eighth layer.
According to the rules of the junior competition, breaking an opponent’s defense was enough to claim victory.
Each platform was overseen by a disciple over sixty years old, acting as a referee.
A flash of green, a series of thick green protective screens imdiately materialized, enveloping each of the blue stone platforms.
“The competition begins,”
Qin Shan announced loudly.
No sooner had his voice faded than Shen Long and the others made their moves.
Shen Long raised his right hand, hurling a giant fireball the size of a water jar smashing towards the white-skirted matron, while a blue water screen appeared close to his body, protecting him completely.
The white-skirted matron reacted quickly, her white jade pendant glowing on her chest, a thick white light screen appearing, covering her entirely.
She summoned a shield flashing with white light to block in front of her.
She slapped the two spirit beast bags at her waist, releasing an Ice Crystal Scorpion about three feet long and a Green Giant Crane with wingspan equal to its size, both at the Late Stage of the first rank.
“Go!”
The white-skirted matron pointed gently with her right hand towards the opposite side; the Ice Crystal Scorpion fired over a dozen white ice cones about two feet long, while the Green Giant Crane’s wings gently flapped, sending over a dozen two-feet-long green Wind Blades soaring towards Shen Long.
Shen Long didn’t dare to be careless, releasing the Fire Rock Beast and Iron Tail Scorpion to deal with the Ice Crystal Scorpion and Green Giant Crane.
The Fire Rock Beast opened its gaping maw, spewing rolling flas to et the incoming white ice cones.
Dozens of green Wind Blades consistently struck the blue water screen, causing ripples to spread across it.
Shen Long lifted his hands, hurling one giant fireball after another, each bombarding the white shield.
Following a series of muffled roars, rolling flas engulfed the white shield.
Shen Long swept his hands through the air, conjuring a house-sized giant fireball that radiated terrifying heat, crashing towards the other side.
The white-skirted matron frowned, quickly forming a spell, causing the white shield to burst with bright light as it t the onslaught.
