C152 Rules for Core Disciple Battle Assessment

Nie Zhen had gotten six perfect marks, shocking both inside and outside of Duobao Sect.

On the other hand, the whole Second Sect Master's faction was full of cheers and laughter. Duan Rong's one year smile was not even as big as the previous two days' laughter. "Hahahaha …" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

His own faction had finally broken Great Sect Master's monopoly. This was truly a cause for celebration.

As for the spot for core disciples, because Nie Zhen was in the top three among the senior disciples, he successfully killed his way into the core disciples. He was ranked 94th, and there was an extra person in the number of core disciples in the second head's bloodline.

However, Nie Zhen didn't seem very happy about this. In the end, he didn't even use his full strength in the Advanced Disciple assessment. If it wasn't for Sun Yu's incident at the final stage, he wouldn't even have used his strength in the Heavenly Realm.

On the second day, Second Sect Master Duan Rong headed towards the main hall of the Duobao Sect with light steps. Although he knew that he had to keep a low profile at this time, he was unable to restrain the joy in his heart.

When Duan Rong arrived at the main hall, the other four sect heads were already there.

When Great Sect Master saw Duan Rong, he smiled at him and said, "Old Second, congratulations to you. Your disciple, Nie Zhen, performed exceptionally well in this year's advanced disciple exam!"

After Duan Rong sat down, he cupped his hands towards Great Sect Master and said, "Great Sect Master is too kind. Although my disciple got a perfect score on six, to be honest, as a master, I don't have any merits. It's all because of his hard work."

Although he said that, Duan Rong was very happy inside.

Regardless of whether it is in terms of martial arts, character, aura, or cultivation, these are all things that I have to teach my disciple. Second Brother, Nie Zhen is the future pillar of my Duobao Sect, you have to put in a lot of effort. "

The Second Sect Master nodded and said, "Of course. Even if Great Sect Master didn't remind him, I would."

Great Sect Master smiled and said to the sect heads, "Everyone, the annual core disciple battle is about to begin. Now that the list of advanced disciples has been tallied, tomorrow's core disciple battle will begin, do you guys have any thoughts?"

Third Sect Master said, "The rules are always like this. How can we have any opinions?"

The other sect leaders also expressed that they did not have any thoughts.

Great Sect Master nodded with a smile and said, "Good, then we will start the Core Disciple Ranking Competition tomorrow. According to the usual practice, for the ninety-six core disciples, the top thirty-two core disciples will be drawn, and the opponents will be decided by the lots of the last sixty-four disciples. After the winner is decided, the top thirty-two core disciples will be drawn again, and the final champion will be won."

The rule for the empty first round had always existed. This rule was not to open the back door for the disciples who were ranked at the top, but rather, to consider if the disciples who were ranked lower in the rankings were to meet an opponent who was ranked higher in the rankings prematurely, they would not be able to fully display their true strength. The final sixty-four disciples would basically be on the same level, and would be able to display their true strength.

"Also, the disciples who get eliminated in the first round will determine their rankings based on their results of the previous exam. Using the results of the previous exam as a reference, they will decide their final rankings."

Second Sect Master said at this time: "However, when the top sixteen comes out, the eight eliminated contestants will have to fight one by one. Besides the ninth and tenth place, everyone else will also have to be ranked according to their results.

Great Sect Master nodded and agreed, "Second brother is right, these are the old rules. However, I repeat again, this year's top ten disciples' rewards will be a bit higher than the previous years. This is the consensus of the five of us, so we shouldn't have any objections now, right?"

"The five of us have already agreed on this. How could we possibly oppose ourselves?" Fifth Sect Master said with a smile, "Speaking of which, next year will be 20 years of reincarnation, right?"

Great Sect Master said with a long sigh, "Yes... I never thought that we have already experienced it four times. This year, the three great sects of Eastern Royal Great Empire will compete in the Yuan Empire, and the situation is not good for us... "

Eastern Royal Great Empire were divided into three great empires: the Yuan Empire, the Duo Treasures Empire, and the Ice River Empire. Correspondingly, there were three great sects that governed the three empires, and they were respectively: Origin Sect, Duobao Sect, and Ice River Valley.

The three great sects of the Eastern Royal Great Empire jointly controlled the entire Empire, and occasionally collided with each other.

However, there had never been a large-scale war between the three great sects. After all, everyone was a great sect that would move their body at one go. No one would act rashly.

There was no large-scale war, but everyone always wanted to compete in power. Afterwards, the three great sects had organized a competition between the Three Sects's younger generation, and other than comparing the strength of each of the three great sects, it could also motivate the disciples of the younger generation. Back then, when the Duobao Sect's five sect masters were still young, they all participated in the competition of Three Sects.

The three great sects all attached great importance to this competition. Each time, they would send out the strongest lineup of the younger generation, hoping to overwhelm the other two great sects.

Origin Sect and Duobao Sect had always competed intensely, but in any competition held at the home grounds of Origin Sect, the disciples' results would not be too good.

However, in all of the competitions, the results of the Duobao Sect had always been average and the results could only be considered average.

Suddenly, the Second Sect Master asked: "Great Sect Master, this year's Three Sects competition, is it still according to the old rules, going to the top ten core disciples?"

Great Sect Master nodded and said, "That's right, it has always been that way."1

Fourth Sect Master said, "How's our goal for this year? Boss, do you have a plan? "

Great Sect Master sighed, "Eh... This year's Origin Sect is the home ground, so we Duobao Sect's disciples should not compete to the very end … When it comes to our Duobao Sect's home ground in the next tournament, it won't be too late to raise our expectations a bit more. Don't pressure our disciples too much, just let them go all out. "

The other sect masters also nodded. Three Sects competition was not a competition of goodwill on the surface, and this would even affect the three great sects' diplomatic confidence, status, and so on, for the next twenty years.

After all, if your young generation is unable to do it, doesn't that mean your sect's future strength is weak?

"Alright, this matter can be discussed later. You all should return to your respective halls and report back to your disciples. Tomorrow morning, the sect's Martial Arts Practice Grounds will begin the lottery competition."

Great Sect Master and his group returned to the palace, and after Second Sect Master Duan Rong returned to the Yuqing Hall, the first thing he did was to gather all the core disciples, including Nie Zhen.

"Disciples, tomorrow morning is the day of the core disciple ranking battle, you must remember to give it your all, and the assessment rules are basically the same as last year's." Disciples, tomorrow morning is the day of the core disciple ranking battle, you must remember to give it your all, and the assessment rules are basically the same as last year's. The main reason Duan Rong repeated himself was to explain to Nie Zhen. The other disciples were familiar with the rules, so there was no need to elaborate.

Speaking here, Duan Rong looked at the top five disciples and said: "The five of you are ranked 32. You just need to prepare for the second round of the competition. As for the remaining people, you will have to start from the first round."

All the disciples expressed their understanding. In fact, they already knew the rules. Only Nie Zhen was a newbie.

Duan Rong looked at Nie Zhen and said, "Nie Zhen, you are the champion of the Advanced Disciple Test. According to your rank, you are ranked 94th, but at that time in the core disciple exam, your opponent will be completely dependent on who draws the lots. It is also possible that you will meet First Senior Sister in the second round and anything is possible.

Nie Zhen nodded. He roughly understood what the process for tomorrow would be like.

Duan Rong reminded Nie Zhen, "In the first round of core disciple battles, the top 64 will be decided, while the remaining 65 to 96 will be ranked according to the ranking of the previous assessment. In the second round, the top 32 will be decided, and the remaining 33 to 64 will be ranked according to the ranking of the previous assessment."

This kind of competition had a certain amount of luck to it. For example, you obviously had the strength to be in the top ten, yet you ran into First Senior Brother and Qin Wuyan in the second round.

If your ranking was too low at the start, then it would directly fall to sixty-fourth place. Even if your strength is stronger than those below thirty-two, it would still be a matter of next year.

Nie Zhen thought for a moment and then understood the rules of the Core Disciple Battle.

Seeing that Nie Zhen had understood the rules, he said to the crowd at the end, "Finally, let me say one more sentence. If you guys meet someone from the same sect in the competition, everyone has to try your best and rely on your own ability. But, do not complain when you end up in the competition, do you understand?"

"Yes sir!"

Duan Rong knew that with Nie Zhen's strength, other than First Senior Sister, no one else was a match for him. However, Nie Zhen was his junior, so it was only the first year that he defeated his senior. If the relationship was not settled well, it would affect the unity of the day.

"Haha …" "Although the annual examination requires you to go all out, after all, the annual examination is only to test the results of your year. If one year is not enough, and next year is next year, then everyone should not care about the outcome at all."

Every year, Duan Rong would say it, and the disciples would know it very well. However, Duan Rong was right, there was an annual examination every year, and for cultivators, it was not a year or two, but a decade or a hundred years' training.
