"Holy crap, he actually defeated Senior Sister Xiao Xiao!"
"This Senior Brother is so strong, his footwork is exquisite and his defense is amazing!"
Many Cultivators participating in the Inner Sect competition also looked over, pointing and discussing.
This left Su Yuan speechless.
He checked his System panel, his reputation value had surged by about 600 points!
"Senior Brother Su, you are truly amazing!" Zhou Wuyou said excitedly.
"So strong! So strong! Awesome!" Zhang Wei also said with excitement.
Su Yuan glared at the two of them: "Stop yelling!"
Su Yuan then looked at Song Cai in the corner: "When did I ask you to sign up?"
Song Cai said: "Wasn't it last time when Senior Brother was giving us pointers? At that time, I asked Senior Brother if you wanted to participate, and you told me to sign up?"
"That's right, I told 'you' to sign up, not for you to help me sign up!" Su Yuan said.
"But I am a handyman Disciple? I am not qualified to participate in the Inner Sect competition? So I thought Senior Brother asked me to help you sign up." Song Cai shook his head.
Su Yuan looked at Song Cai with suspicion and said: "Pay attention in the future, I act low-key and don't like to be famous!"
Zhang Wei asked doubtfully: "Senior Brother, you don't like to be famous, so why did you open a betting market?"
Su Yuan said speechlessly: "I need to earn Spirit Stones, okay? Can that be confused?"
Zhou Wuyou said at this time: "You can also earn Spirit Stones in the competition?"
"Hmm?" Su Yuan was startled, "How much is it worth?"
Zhou Wuyou said: "The champion can get fifty High-Grade Spirit Stones, which is five hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, as well as a Spiritual Artifact worth three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, three sets of self-selected Black Tier magic techniques, the nomination qualification for the Inner Sect Head Disciple, and so on."
"Five hundred thousand Spirit Stones? A Spiritual Artifact." Su Yuan was only slightly tempted for a moment before giving up.
If he passed the competition, he could get three million Spirit Stones, and he wouldn't have to reveal his trump cards.
Therefore, Su Yuan still held firm to his belief, he would concede in the next round. While there was still time, it was not too late.
On the high platform of the Main Peak, Gu Sect Leader secretly heard the conversation between Su Yuan and a few people, and was surprised in his heart: "This kid Su seems unwilling to win. This won't do. He has cultivated the Mystic Truth Celestial Evolution Art, and his strength is ten times that of his peers. Coupled with High Grade Magical Artifacts, and this exquisite footwork, there is still hope of getting into the top ten. At that time, the Spirit Stones will be..."
Su Yuan was waiting for the next match.
Suddenly, a voice transmission sounded in his ear again.
"Little Su, I am your Senior Brother Gu."
Su Yuan was startled, looked up at the high place, and met the smiling eyes of Gu Qingzhu.
Su Yuan immediately cupped his hands.
"Just get into the top ten later. Are you afraid of being targeted if you become famous? The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be blown down by the wind. This principle is not wrong, but without experiencing wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow?" Gu Sect Leader transmitted his voice.
Su Yuan spread his hands, spiritual power surged out, condensing tiny water mist, and a rainbow appeared in his hand.
Gu Sect Leader's eyes twitched, and he transmitted his voice: "If you can enter the top ten, I will make the decision to let you become a Core Disciple of the Main Peak. From now on, you will live with me. At that time, anyone who dares to trouble you can come to me for support. Just display your talent to your heart's content! Even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator sneaks in to kill you, I can stop him with one hand. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Sect Leader's words were full of strong dominance and sufficient confidence. That heroic spirit moved Su Yuan.
This made Su Yuan fall into a dilemma.
"Moreover, if you can enter the top ten, the portion of Spirit Stones allocated to you can be increased tenfold, from three million to thirty million, or even more! You need to think carefully!" Gu Sect Leader tempted, "At worst, after you become famous, you can hide and go into seclusion, not seeing any outsiders. I will save all your outdoor missions for you and won't let you leave the Sect!"
Gu Sect Leader saw through Su Yuan's psychology and character: he was cautious and greedy! He didn't want to be famous, but he didn't mind being famous, which was very contradictory and strange.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan was indeed tempted. He liked to be cautious, but he also knew that resources couldn't be obtained by being cautious. This time, as long as he made a big move, he could earn enough cultivation resources for many years to come. In this way, the high profile now was for the low profile later!
The most important thing was that within this Sect, it was extremely safe. With the Sect Leader as his backer, he didn't need to worry about the consequences of being high-profile. Later, as time passed, the impact would gradually diminish.
"Cough, cough, you said it! I will rely on you to cover me from now on!" Su Yuan whispered. He couldn't transmit his voice over such a long distance.
"No problem! You kid are to my liking. When you advance to Golden Core, come and be my True Disciple." Gu Sect Leader laughed heartily.
Su Yuan pouted. This was simply an empty promise. Golden Core? It was still a long way off!
The two plotted secretly across the air. The people next to them looked at Su Yuan with confusion.
Su Yuan turned to look at them and smiled: "I heard you bet on me to get into the top ten, top three, and first place? How much did you bet?"
Zhou Wuyou said: "Three hundred Spirit Stones, top ten! It's one to two!"
Zhang Wei said: "Eighty percent of my assets, a total of eight hundred Spirit Stones! Top three, it can be one to two point five!"
Su Yuan looked at Song Cai.
Song Cai swallowed and said: "I didn't bet many Spirit Stones, only three thousand Spirit Stones, all on you winning the championship! It's one to three!"
Su Yuan said in surprise: "You are so rich?"
"My family is a merchant family, we have a little money!" Song Cai said awkwardly.
Su Yuan looked at him deeply.
Then he said to everyone: "You just wait to collect the money!"
The three of them were all startled, and their expressions were full of surprise. How did Su Yuan's attitude change one hundred and eighty degrees in the blink of an eye?
Su Yuan began to seriously watch the arena battles at this time. Each battle scene entered his mind and was simply memorized.
He saw a familiar figure taking the stage.
Ye Bufan fought against a High Grade Spiritual Root Cultivator who had cultivated for five years. After dozens of moves, he won!
Liu Muwan also went on stage to compete. Although she had a Perfect Spiritual Root, her cultivation time was too short. She was defeated by her opponent and unfortunately eliminated in the first round.
When she stepped down, Liu Muwan subconsciously looked towards Su Yuan's side.
Su Yuan nodded to her, as a greeting.
Liu Muwan pursed her lips slightly, also nodded, and then walked into the crowd to be a spectator. This year was not the time for her to display her talent, participation was the main thing.
Su Yuan also saw the top ten powerhouses in the material making their moves. Each of them was powerful, defeating their opponents in a dozen moves, or even one move, showing a clear level of superiority.
This put immense pressure on Su Yuan.
Why does it feel like getting into the top ten is not easy!
A total of 280 people participated in the first round of the competition.
140 people were eliminated in the first round.
Soon, the second round of the competition began.
"...Su Yuan, Huang Bo take the stage!"
"Senior Brother, go for it!" Zhou Wuyou immediately said.
"Su Yuan, go for it!"
"Mm!"
Su Yuan paused his steps, nodded, and walked onto the arena with relaxed steps.
Exclamations came from the crowd instead.
"Wow, it's Senior Brother Huang from Lingjue Peak. He is a popular candidate for the top twenty! I even bet fifty Spirit Stones guessing that Senior Brother Huang will enter the top twenty!"
"That guy who played tricks on Senior Sister Xiao Xiao last time is finished now!"
"Hmph, dare to humiliate my Sister Xiao Xiao, now he's getting his retribution?" Next to Li Xiao Xiao, a little Junior Sister with a bun hairstyle said gloatingly.
Li Xiao Xiao clenched her fists and snorted coldly: "Losing is losing, I will personally defeat him myself next time!"
Upon hearing this, the little Junior Sister with the bun hairstyle instead comforted her: "Senior Sister, don't. He is a few years younger than you, you will probably be surpassed by him."
"Whose side are you on?" Li Xiao Xiao fiercely knocked the little Junior Sister with the bun hairstyle.
"Ugh! Ugh! Senior Sister, I know I was wrong!"
Opposite Su Yuan, a muscular man walked up. It was Huang Bo!
Su Yuan looked at the high platform with suspicion. Could it be that Gu Sect Leader was manipulating things behind the scenes? How did he run into such a strong opponent in the second round?
Gu Sect Leader also frowned. He didn't manipulate anything behind the scenes, it was just that luck was something that was really hard to say.
On the high platform of Xuanjue Peak, Wang Siming smiled: "It's a pity, Su Yuan's strength is not weak, but meeting Huang Bo so early means he will be eliminated in advance. This is also good, it saves people from coveting him."
Most of the other Disciples watching the battle also defaulted to Su Yuan's defeat. They didn't watch Su Yuan's battle, but instead focused on the arenas where the opponents were evenly matched, which looked better.
Huang Bo sized up Su Yuan and said: "Your footwork is very good, but it consumes a lot when you use it, right? As long as I can hit you once, you will lose! If we drag this on, I will definitely win! You should just concede, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."
Su Yuan looked at him calmly. All of Huang Bo's information was already in his mind.
He should have only been at the seventh level of Refining Qi originally, but now he had actually reached the eighth level of Refining Qi. He primarily cultivated his body, his Physical Body was strong and could contend with demonic beasts. His iron hammer was also wielded with exquisite skill. With one swing, a demonic beast would lose half its life!
The Foundation Establishment deacon calmly looked at the two of them, confirmed that they were ready, and said: "The competition begins!"
The next moment, Huang Bo strode forward with agile steps, approaching Su Yuan step by step.
Su Yuan's expression condensed, and the Low Grade Magical Artifact still appeared in his hand.
Li Xiao Xiao below the stage pouted: "Seeking death!"
This time, Su Yuan was different from before. Dense Profound Truth Energy was wrapped around the sword body, causing the sword body to be surrounded by three colors.
"Go!"
Su Yuan lightly shouted, and the three-colored sword light quickly attacked Huang Bo. Its speed was no less than Li Xiao Xiao's green sword before!
Huang Bo frowned, took out a giant hammer with a backhand, and smashed it fiercely at the three-colored Flying Sword.
The material of that Low Grade Magical Artifact would definitely not be able to withstand his blow!
Hum!
The Flying Sword cut through the air, emitting a whistling sound!
The three-colored Flying Sword drew a beautiful curve, suddenly accelerated, bypassed Huang Bo's obstruction, and went straight for Huang Bo's face.
Huang Bo's expression changed, he flipped his hand and slapped it. An earthy yellow color condensed in front of him, turning into a layer of earthy yellow shield, protecting himself.
"Hum!"
The sound of the sword hummed!
A long whistle from the Flying Sword directly impacted into Huang Bo's Sea of Consciousness.
"What?"
Huang Bo was extremely shocked. He didn't expect there to be a spiritual attack!
The sword sound impacted his Sea of Consciousness, causing his spiritual consciousness to disperse a little, and the operation of his magic techniques became obscure.
The earthy yellow shield on his body became much dimmer!
Su Yuan's gaze condensed. He quickly grasped the weakness on the shield. The Flying Sword officially hit the shield and quickly pierced through it. The Flying Sword then slashed onto Huang Bo's arm!
The strong impact force erupted from that spot. The Profound Truth Energy tore through Huang Bo's strong Physical Body, leaving a deep wound on his arm that was visible to the bone. Blood instantly flowed out.
Huang Bo, who was injured, also recovered from the impact of the sword sound. He grabbed the sword body, which had lost its power, with one hand and squeezed hard. The Flying Sword, which was only a Low Grade Magical Artifact, shattered in Huang Bo's hand!
But Huang Bo was stunned as he looked at the wound on his body.
He lost. If this wound had landed on his heart or neck, he would have been seriously injured!
At this point, him destroying Su Yuan's Magical Artifact seemed like he was flying into a rage out of humiliation.
"Xuanjue Peak's Su Yuan wins!" The Foundation Establishment deacon announced.
A single word stirred up a thousand waves. Many Disciples who hadn't paid attention to this match were stunned and looked over.
But those who were watching this arena match were even more shocked.
Instant kill!
Another instant kill!
But the Disciple who caused the instant kill was so unfamiliar!
Su Yuan's strength was unexpectedly powerful!
Even Wei Wen, Sun Hong, and others all looked over, scrutinizing Su Yuan.
Su Yuan became the focus of the entire arena, and his reputation value was rapidly increasing.
