75: C75 Luck

C75 Luck

"Get up!"

An old man who wore a blue-golden robe and had a head full of white hair but a youthful face looked at the many disciples of the Outer Sect who were kneeling down and spoke with an amiable expression.

"Thank you, Elder!"

All the disciples of the Outer Sect shouted out in unison once again. They stood up and retreated to the side.

"Tianhai, let the warriors forge the arena and prepare for the third stage of the examination!"

The old man turned his head to look at Lei Tianhai behind him and instructed.

"Yes."

Lei Tianhai nodded respectfully.

He reached out and took off a Black Token Talisman from his waist.

He poured the True Qi into the Token, then suddenly soared into the sky, emitting a dark light.

Following the appearance of the black light, the ground rumbled as if there was a huge earthquake.

Ye Lan and the other three hundred young geniuses and the surrounding cultivators could all feel the strong vibration coming from the ground.

Many people had shocked expressions on their faces. They didn't understand what had happened.

It wasn't until they saw a few mountain-like figures slowly walking out of the mountain gate of the Thunder Cloud Sect did they realize what had happened.

Those figures were topless and wearing simple black armor.

Each of them was as big as a mountain, and they were dozens of meters tall. Their muscles were bulging, and they were filled with explosive power.

Giant trees were trampled under their feet like straws. Leaves and leaves flew about, smoke and dust rose in all directions, and the earth rumbled as they moved.

When they saw those mountain-like figures, the tens of thousands of cultivators couldn't help but be flabbergasted.

Warriors!

They were powerful beings nurtured by the Thunder Cloud Sect. Although their movements were slow, their strength was incomparably great. They were very powerful.

Their skin was as hard as steel, and they could ignore any physical attack from cultivators below the Raw Infant Stage. They were extremely terrifying!

Some of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Giant!

This was the first time they had seen a giant as huge as a mountain!

"They are warriors specially trained by the Thunder Cloud Sect!"

Someone replied. His heart was also filled with shock.

"The Thunder Cloud Sect is indeed worthy of being the number one sect in the Snowfall City. They are famous throughout the entire Longyuan Empire. I never thought that the sect would nurture such a terrifying giant! "

Some of the cultivators sighed in admiration at the foundation of the Thunder Cloud Sect. They were able to cultivate powerful warriors.

Many people nodded in agreement. Once again, they were shocked by the foundation of the Thunder Cloud Sect, causing the mind to tremble.

At this moment, everyone became silent. Mighty warriors as huge as mountains waved their huge iron axes, flattening the surrounding hills in one breath, and severing thousands of giant trees in one breath.

In a short period of time, they forged huge martial arts arenas. Everyone was amazed!

After the mighty warriors finished forging the martial ring, they took heavy steps again and disappeared into the huge mountain gate of Thunder Cloud Sect.

"Next, I declare that the third stage of the test will officially begin!"

The old man looked at the crowd and spoke with a clear voice, a Qi Gathering at the throat.

Everyone recovered from the shock of the battle between the Mighty Force Mountain Slashing and the forging of the arena, and let out excited cheers.

Martial competition!

Every year, in the Thunder Cloud Sect's recruitment competition, only the third stage of the martial arts competition was the most eye-catching.

Naturally, when the crowd heard the old man announce that the third stage of the examination would begin, they were all somewhat impatient.

Similarly, the three hundred young geniuses who had successfully entered the third stage of the examination were all rubbing their fists, eager to show off their skills.

"Tianhai, I'll leave the rest of the matters to you."

The old man looked at the young geniuses. Their childish faces were filled with excitement, and a smile appeared on his face.

He turned to Lei Tianhai and instructed him.

"Yes."

Lei Tianhai received the order and took a step forward, then he surveyed his surroundings.

"There will be two rounds of martial arts competition this time. One hundred and fifty people will be eliminated in the first round. Those who enter the second round will become the disciples of Thunder Cloud Sect's Outer Sect.

The second round will be a round-robin battle. Each person must challenge one hundred and forty-nine opponents. The ranking will be decided based on the number of wins and losses.

The higher the ranking, the sect will give the corresponding sect points as rewards.

Everyone, do you have any objections?"

Lei Tianhai asked in a clear voice.

"Deacon Lei, one hundred and fifty young geniuses will be eliminated in the first round?"

One of the three hundred young geniuses looked at Lei Tianhai and asked.

"That's right!"

"If that's the case, isn't it unfair?"

The youth replied.

"How is it unfair?"

Lei Tianhai asked.

"Out of the three hundred disciples, each of them has a huge difference in strength.

Some of them might be at the Second Layer of Qi Gathering or even Third Layer, while some might be at the Fourth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage or even Seventh Layer of Qi Gathering.

If Third Level of the Qi Gathering Stage can defeat Second Layer of Qi Gathering in the first round, he will advance to the second round.

When a Fourth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage met a Seventh Layer of Qi Gathering, he would be eliminated, and he would not be able to advance to the next round.

However, it was obvious that a Fourth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage was stronger than a Third Level of the Qi Gathering Stage.

A Third Layer could advance, but a Fourth Layer could not.

How can this be fair?"

The young man replied.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people felt the same way.

"Everyone, Thunder Cloud Sect's recruitment is mainly about fate.

Those who can advance are fated to join the Thunder Cloud Sect, and those who can't do so are fated to be part of the Thunder Cloud Sect.

Also, as you said, if a Third Level of the Qi Gathering Stage meets a Second Layer of Qi Gathering, he will be able to advance smoothly.

When a Fourth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage meets a Seventh Layer of Qi Gathering, they will be eliminated immediately.

It would be inappropriate to determine the victor in one round.

However, in the Divine Martial Continent, besides the talent and strength of a cultivator, the luck of a cultivator was also essential.

For example, two experts of the same cultivation level.

One of them had poor luck and was unable to reach the peak.

The other had strong luck, so he could reach the peak.

Luck was also extremely important to cultivators.

In the first round of the competition, the Thunder Cloud Sect not only wanted your talent and strength, but also your own luck.

If your luck was strong, you could naturally avoid strong enemies and advance smoothly.

However, if your luck is not good, no matter how strong you are, you will encounter even greater obstacles and won't be able to advance smoothly."

Lei Tianhai explained slowly.

All the cultivators nodded their heads in understanding.

Indeed, the Divine Martial Continent did not lack experts with extremely high talent and strength.

In this world, besides possessing extremely strong talent, a cultivator also needed to have sufficient luck in order to truly reach the peak of martial arts.

Talent and strength were the main factors, but luck was similarly not to be ignored.

The first round of the competition in the third stage of the Thunder Cloud Sect not only tested the strength of the three hundred young geniuses, but also their own luck.

If their luck was strong, even Second Layer of Qi Gathering warriors might be able to survive a Seventh Layer of Qi Gathering warrior.

After all, luck was an elusive thing. Who could say for sure?

After listening to Lei Tianhai's explanation, the young man who questioned the injustice of the first round stopped talking. The rest of the people fell into silence as well. They felt that there was nothing wrong with the Thunder Cloud Sect's assessment this time.

After all, they had already explained that the test this time was luck!

If your luck was bad and you couldn't advance, who could you blame?

Although the Thunder Cloud Sect's reason was somewhat shameless, it was still worthy of admiration!

"Everyone, do you have any objections?"2

Lei Tianhai looked at the three hundred young geniuses and asked again.

Everyone remained silent and shook their heads.

"If you have no objections, you can start drawing lots."

Lei Tianhai instructed.

Hearing this, the three hundred young geniuses all nodded their heads.

One by one, they started to draw numbers.

"Brother Ye Lan, what's yours?"

Ye Yu asked.

"Number 10!"

Ye Lan smiled.

"Great, I am number 100. Your opponent is not me!"

Ye Yu let out a long sigh of relief. If her opponent was Ye Lan, she would be very conflicted.

In the distance, Su Yi, Su Zhan, Lau Hanyan and Lau Jiaojiao all came forward and asked Ye Lan and Ye Yu about the number they drew. In the end, they were glad that they were not a match for Ye Lan.

"What's your number?"

In the Bai family, Bai Moli looked at Bai Wuyou and asked in a deep voice.

"Number 290!"

Bai Wuyou took out his number and answered truthfully.

"What's Ye Lan's number?"

Bai Moli asked.

He hoped that Ye Lan would lose to Bai Wuyou.

However, if Ye Lan's opponent wasn't Bai Wuyou, then his plan would fail.

"Don't worry, Ye Lan's opponent is me!"

The corner of Bai Wuyou's mouth slightly lifted. He thought to himself that his luck was pretty good. He had selected Ye Lan as his opponent.

He firmly believed that with his Fifth Layer of Qi Gathering Stage strength, defeating Ye Lan, who was a Fourth Level of the Qi Gathering Stage warrior, would be a piece of cake.

He was determined to become a disciple of the Thunder Cloud Sect's Outer Sect!

"Very good!"

Upon hearing Bai Wuyou's words, Bai Moli nodded his head with a sneer on his face. He looked at Ye Lan who was standing far away, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
