Qin Wuyan didn't comment on Soong Dong'er's words as he shrugged and said, "I am only starting early, plus I was born with good luck, maybe after ten or twenty years, I will be constantly surpassed by my junior. For example, with Junior Song's talent, after ten years, she will probably surpass me."
Soong Dong'er raised her eyebrows and shook her head, "Senior Brother Qin is praising my sister too much. I know how much weight I have. As long as I don't embarrass my teacher, I am very satisfied. As for catching up with Senior Brother Qin, I have never thought about it."
Although Soong Dong'er said that, she was still not convinced of her defeat. She admitted that her cultivation and talent were not bad, and she was also very hardworking in her usual training. It was just that her innate ability was not as good as Qin Wuyan's.
If everyone had the same bone and talent, she believed that she would definitely not be worse than Qin Wuyan. But in the path of cultivation, sometimes it was just that cruel. Some people were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, born with a natural lead over others.
Qin Wuyan laughed: "This year's annual examination is about to start, maybe this time, your master's second sect master's bloodline will have a few more core disciples, I heard that your master has accepted a Subordinate Country champion as a disciple, it is said that his talent is also extremely great, maybe your master's bloodline will be able to shine?"
Soong Dong'er sighed and said, "I heard so too, but I've been busy with cultivation lately and haven't had the time to visit my new Junior Brother at the sect. I really want to see him during the annual examination."
"He definitely won't be bad. Even my master is full of praise for your vision."
Soong Dong'er really admired Duan Rong, which was without a doubt. She nodded and said, "Of course. My master is in Duobao Sect. Other than Great Sect Master, the other sect masters …"
At this point, Soong Dong'er didn't continue her conversation and just laughed twice. She then stopped talking about this topic.
… ….
As soon as Nie Zhen walked out of the tent, he was surrounded by a group of Duobao Sect disciples at the entrance. One by one, they asked anxiously: "Little brother, how was it, was it Qin Wuyan, First Senior Brother, who was in charge of the overall situation inside?"
Nie Zhen said helplessly, "If you want to know, why don't you go in and report your name?"
Actually, Nie Zhen himself didn't know much about Qin Wuyan and First Senior Brother, so he was naturally unable to answer their question. After walking out from the crowd, he returned to Wu Yanyan's side.
"How is it?" Wu Yanyan asked.
Nie Zhen replied with a reassured expression: "No problem, I've already registered for the competition and am just waiting for the competition to start."
Just as Wu Yanyan was about to continue questioning, he heard someone call out to him from above: "Please register to participate in Treasure Snatching Competition, we have gathered all eight participants, please gather at the stage!"
Nie Zhen told Wu Yanyan and the others, "Let's go!"
At this moment, there were already many disciples who came to watch the show. Nie Zhen came to the side of the arena and put on his mask and robe, and when he came out of the tent, he took off his mask in order to not attract anyone's attention, but now he put it back on.
And at this moment, the other seven competitors were already in place.
When the seven people stood on the stage, their auras were extremely shocking. All of them were experts at the eighth or ninth stage of the Earth Stage, and none of them hid their aura, wanting to suppress their opponents to gain the upper hand.
When fighting people with high levels of Earth Stage, their auras would often decide the direction of the battle. Before these people even went up on stage, they already hoped to use their aura to suppress their opponents. Nie Zhen secretly laughed when he saw this, but he didn't do so.
Not only that, Nie Zhen also suppressed his cultivation around Ninth Level of the Earth Stage to the extent that it would not attract attention. Otherwise, if he used his full strength, the seven people present might not even be his match.
As Expert of the Heavenly Stage, Nie Zhen could only bully the weak by participating in the competition. However, for the sake of the five holy water, Nie Zhen had no choice but to do so and specifically suppress his cultivation, not only because his opponent was not worthy of him using his full strength, but also to avoid committing a crime of bullying the weak.
Seeing Nie Zhen walk onto the stage, the host announced loudly, "Okay, now that all eight contestants are here, we will draw lots to decide the order of the competition. From number one to number eight, everyone will have their own number, first round, number one to eight, number two to number seven, number three to number six, and number four to number five. After three consecutive rounds, the final victor will be decided. He will obtain the wager of the other seven participants! "
All around the arena, thunderous applause rang out. The surrounding disciples were all excited.
In this world where strength reigned supreme, there was nothing more attractive than an arena battle.
The host smiled and waved his hand to stop the disciples from clapping. He waited for the surrounding voices to die down before smiling and continuing, "Does everyone know what the stakes of the eight participants are! Let me explain to everyone, among them are the middle grade Earth Stage spirit artifact Long Whip s, and also five Holy Water that are said to contain the power of the five elements, three of them are middle grade Earth Stage spirit herbs, and two of them are spirit beast cores.
The Spirit Beast Core was similar to the Dantian of a human cultivator. It was the core of a Spirit Beast's spirit energy. Cultivators could absorb the Spirit Beast Core to refine it into their own cultivation.
Even Nie Zhen was looking forward to the reward of this level.
The other contestants' reactions were even hungrier than Nie Zhen's. It was hard to conceal the fervor and excitement in their hearts. All of them rubbed their hands together, ready to start a big fight.
The host saw that all the participants were eager to give it a try, so he immediately did not waste any more words, and laughed: "All of you step onto the stage to grab your own numbers, remember, although Dao Jian is speechless, but we sincerely hope that you can point it to the end, and only decide the victor, if you do not see life and death, whoever feels that they are unable to hold on, do not force themselves, if you throw your life away, do not blame your opponent for being ruthless!"1
Cultivating Earth Stage wasn't easy, if he were to lose his life in this kind of place, it wouldn't be worth it. Even if the host didn't say anything, everyone would still know.
Taking turns on the stage, Nie Zhen caught number six, and his opponent was number three.
After hanging their number plates on their clothes, their opponents were all very clear about what was going on.
Nie Zhen noticed that the contestant number three was a muscular man with a very special appearance among the contestants.
Nie Zhen secretly noticed that although this person looked fierce, he clearly walked a tough and fierce path.
Although competitor number three only had Ninth Level of the Earth Stage, he was still not Cai Saangzi's match, even though he had already reached the Heavenly Realm.
The area for the stage was around five acres, which was enough for the disciples of Duobao Sect. The area for the stage was currently divided into four areas.
The host said, "The eight participants will be divided into four pairs and will each enter your respective areas. The first round will be held simultaneously, and all of you will have to fight within your own areas.
The rules were basically like this. No one was stupid enough to make such a low level mistake, let alone these four regions.
Nie Zhen jumped onto area no 3. The muscular man no. 3 couldn't wait any longer. Both of them were being squeezed by Nie Zhen as if trying to show off.
Nie Zhen secretly laughed. If he used his full strength, perhaps he would be blown away by just his aura, but he obviously wouldn't do that. Firstly, he didn't want to be accused of bullying the weak for this competition, and secondly, Nie Zhen also wanted to use this as a way to temper his physical strength.
They were standing ten meters away from each other. Nie Zhen didn't even consider using his weapon as he put his hands in his chest and smiled at them: "Hey, fierce guy, don't show off anymore. Be careful or you'll break your own bones!"
The third contestant was enraged, he shouted loudly and swung his punches that were as big as sandbags towards Nie Zhen.
"Iron Mountain!"
Nie Zhen felt the stage beneath his feet shake a bit like an earthquake. Then, the muscular man landed his fists on the ground. Suddenly, the stage looked like it was broken by someone, cracks appeared one after another and started spreading towards Nie Zhen's feet.
Nie Zhen leaped into the air. At the same time, the Shura's Murderous Aura condensed in his hands and wrapped around the other party like a ribbon. The moment he got close to the other party, it would immediately coil around him like a snake.
Regardless of whether it was Nie Zhen's speed or Nie Zhen's spiritual energy, neither of them could be compared to the muscular man. Nie Zhen didn't even give the muscular man time to react before the spirit energy colored ribbon condensed from the Shura's Murderous Aura wrapped him up like a dumpling.
Nie Zhen shouted, "Let's go!"
With a tug of his spiritual power, the muscular man was lifted into the air and thrown off the stage.
The fall was just in time. With a shake of Nie Zhen's spiritual energy, the muscular man fell off the stage.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Number Three's body hit the ground, looking very miserable.
At the same time, the contestants from the other three regions had just started fighting.
The battle had just started, and the outcome of area no 3 had already been decided!
This was Nie Zhen's tactic. It was truly a preemptive move. In the first round, he defeated his opponent using a strong method and he did not even use his own cultivation nor martial skills. He only relied on his own familiarity with his own spiritual energy.
At the same time, they used their first victory to intimidate the participants of the next two rounds, in order to achieve the purpose of intimidating others.
Without a doubt, an instant kill. Although he didn't heavily injure his opponent, his opponent had indeed lost. Moreover, there was no suspense. His eyesight couldn't even see clearly how Nie Zhen had won!
