C88 The Battle Has Begun
Qin Ce gritted his teeth, but he didn't say anything else. He had already humiliated the Loonghwa Association, so he couldn't continue to embarrass them.
"Hehe! Junior Sister Nan is really unbelievably strong. If we have the chance, we can exchange pointers!"
At this moment, a calm voice was heard. Everyone looked at Wu Xuechuan. Everyone knew that underneath Wu Xuechuan's calm expression, there must be endless fury. Nan Yudia had caused the Loonghwa Association to lose all their face, and she had even insulted the Loonghwa Association in front of everyone.
"Since Senior Brother Wu has said so, I naturally have no reason to refuse. When does Senior Brother Wu want to spar with me?"
Nan Yudia's indifferent tone indicated her calmness and steadiness. She was somewhat afraid of Wu Xuechuan, but it was only a little. If they really wanted to fight, what did she need to fear? With the support of her heartforce, her strength was no longer the same as before!
When he heard Nan Yudia's fearless words, Wu Xuechuan's face turned cold as he said, "Nan Yudia, I have to say that you are very strong. However, he is also very arrogant. Those who are arrogant usually do not end up well."
Wu Xuechuan's eyes and tone were filled with intense fighting spirit. He really wanted to fight Nan Yudia.
"Nan Yudia, to be honest, I really want to teach you a lesson right now. However, the competition for the qualification to enter the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave is about to begin, so I will let you stay here for a few more days. Remember, I will wait for you in the competition. You... Don't disappoint me! "
After saying that, Wu Xuechuan turned around and left. Qin Ce's loss in the competition was not important to him. The reputation of Loonghwa Association was not worth much. What he cared about was the quota for training in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave.
Although Wu Xuechuan wanted to teach Nan Yudia a lesson, he knew very well that he would defeat her in the challenge. It would only make Nan Yudia lose 100 contribution points. She would only be able to defeat Nan Yudia in the contest. Only then could he truly humiliate Nan Yudia.
Of course, Wu Xuechuan was actually somewhat afraid of Nan Yudia. The reason why he did not challenge Nan Yudia was because... It was because he did not want to expose his strength. This was the only way. In the competition, he could fight Nan Yudia with all his might.
Nan Yudia didn't reply, even if Wu Xuechuan didn't say anything that would anger her. She and Wu Xuechuan would also fight in the contest. At that time... She would make Wu Xuechuan pay the price for his arrogance today. No matter what she said now, it would be a lie. It was meaningless!
"Alright, the challenge has ended. I believe that the people from the Loonghwa Association won't come and challenge the disciples of the Sunset Hall anymore. Everyone, go back and prepare for the upcoming trial in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave in your strongest state!"
Nan Yudia turned around and instructed the disciples of Sunset Hall. After that, she left the square with Qi Zhuohao. Her goal had been achieved, and the effect of intimidation had been shown. After this competition, the core area would be quiet for a few days.
It was Nan Yudia's first time using her mental strength. The heart sutra that Qi Zhuohao taught her had really benefited her greatly! With a sigh in her heart, Nan Yudia threw away all her worries. These few days, she should relax and relax.
"Zhuohao, what level has your realm reached?"
Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia went to a stone bench in the garden and sat down. Nan Yudia curiously asked. Qi Zhuohao's realm had always been at the first level of the Spirit Acceptance Realm. Regarding this situation, she was helpless and speechless.
Qi Zhuohao laughed and replied, "Yudia, my level is only at the peak of the third level of the Spirit Acceptance Stage. I am still far from being comparable to you. Oh right, Yudia, your Heart Cultivation has succeeded. I have not congratulated you yet!"
When he taught the Heart Sutra to Nan Yudia to cultivate, Qi Zhuohao only wanted to give it a try. Because he wasn't sure if Nan Yudia could cultivate the Heart Sutra. Reality proved that even if one did not cultivate an infinite cultivation method, other martial artists could also cultivate the heart sutra alone.
"What is there to congratulate? You really don't have to say, the power of heartforce is truly terrifying!"
Nan Yudia sighed with emotion, just like in the previous challenge. If she only used the Phantom Flying Thrust, even if it hurt Qin Ce, Qin Ce's injuries were definitely not serious, and she had added her strength to it. She had actually caused Qin Ce to be seriously injured and lose his ability to fight.
Nan Yudia praised the power of her heartforce from the bottom of her heart. Her strength was completely different from what it was before and after cultivating the Heart Sutra. This was all thanks to Qi Zhuohao. The Heart Cultivation Method was an extremely rare treasure!
"Haha!" Qi Zhuohao laughed dryly and continued, "Yudia, the power of heartforce is needless to say. Both of us have cultivated the heart sutra, and we have more confidence in the competition for the spots in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave."
"En, with my current strength, I am fully confident that I can win the trial for the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. As for you, Zhuohao, although you have the Desolate Force, you have also cultivated the Heart Sutra. But your realm is still very low. Are you confident? "
Nan Yudia nodded and said. Her tone was very serious. In the Challenge Competition... Disciples above the sixth level of the Spirit Acceptance Stage could not challenge Qi Zhuohao, but the competition for the spots in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave was different. Even a perfected Acceptance Spirit expert could challenge Qi Zhuohao.
Nan Yudia would never doubt Qi Zhuohao's strength. But Qi Zhuohao's realm was low. His Spiritual Force was definitely much weaker than those experts' disciples. This was Qi Zhuohao's weakness. She was afraid that those disciples would use a war of attrition to deal with Qi Zhuohao. As long as Qi Zhuohao's Spiritual Force was exhausted, Qi Zhuohao would lose without a doubt!
"Yudia, don't worry. I am confident!" Qi Zhuohao did not finish his sentence. He also knew what Nan Yudia was worried about. Qi Zhuohao himself was the clearest about his own strength. Moreover, he did not have many Spiritual Force. On the contrary, even a ninth level Spirit Acceptance Realm expert would not dare to say that there were more Spiritual Force in his body than Qi Zhuohao. Adding the Desolate Force, heartforce, as well as the Minor Success Hot Flame Palm and Cloud Breaking Blade Technique, he was determined to get a spot for the tough-training.
Of course, Qi Zhuohao wouldn't be arrogant. The Afterglow Peak alone was filled with experts. The geniuses of the entire Thousand Searching Sect's Nine Peaks combined made it even harder to deal with them. If he wanted to get a spot in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave, he had to be careful. They had to treat it seriously!
"Alright! Let's cheer together and get into the top three of the Afterglow Peak's battlefield first!"
Nan Yudia suddenly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Zhuohao, you have just come out of secluded cultivation. I assume you still don't understand the rules of the trial competition in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. You can go and take a look at the core bulletin board. Don't violate the rules. Otherwise, you will be disqualified from the trial! "
Qi Zhuohao nodded slightly. The trial competition in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave was of utmost importance. The rules of the competition were extremely strict. Every participating disciple had to memorize the rules. Those who violated the rules would be disqualified immediately!1
"Yudia, why don't you accompany me to take a look? Anyway, we don't have anything to do!"
Nan Yudia nodded and agreed to Qi Zhuohao's suggestion. The competition would only start in three days. It was meaningless for them to go back and cultivate in three days. Releasing their tensed nerves and adjusting their condition would be beneficial to the competition.
Qi Zhuohao felt that time passed extremely fast when he was with Nan Yudia. In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later...
The sky of Afterglow Peak was filled with clouds. The golden sunlight penetrated through the clouds and mist. Beams of light decorated the mountain beautifully!
At this moment, Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia and the other core disciples of Afterglow Peak had all gathered in the central square. And beside the huge arena in the center of the square, there were five thrones and tables.
The tables were filled with all kinds of fruits, and on the five exquisite and beautiful thrones... At this moment, there were already people seated. Qi Zhuohao only knew two of them. They were the Peak Lord Du Qingluo of Afterglow Peak and the master of Essence Martial Hall, Situ Lin. The other three were: Qi Zhuohao had never seen them before. He could only feel the powerful Qi coming from the three middle-aged men. Qi Zhuohao knew that they were probably the experts sent by the Heavenly Nether Peak to preside over the competition.
As for the manager of the core region, Meng Ziyan, she was standing with Qi Zhuohao and the others. It was only at this moment that Qi Zhuohao found out that Meng Ziyan was not only the manager of the core region, but also a core disciple of the Afterglow Peak.
After being in the core region for a long time, Qi Zhuohao would naturally know some secrets. For example, Meng Ziyan was a disciple of the Thousand Searching Sect six years ago. During these five years, she had been staying at the Great Circle of the Spirit Acceptance Realm for the sake of entering the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave.
There were still many disciples who had stayed in the core area just like Meng Ziyan, coveting the treasures in the Heavenly Nether Secret Cave. Hence... What Qi Zhuohao and the others had to face was not just Wu Xuechuan and the other geniuses. This competition for the spots was absolutely brilliant!
Qi Zhuohao and the others were waiting with anticipation. Finally, Du Qingluo and the other three experts whispered to each other for a while. One of the experts stood up and walked onto the stage. His cold gaze swept across the disciples below the stage.
"Greetings to the core disciples of Afterglow Peak. I am Gao Wu, one of the Deacon of Heavenly Nether Peak. I will be the one in charge of the competition for the positions of the disciples of Afterglow Peak. During this period of time... I don't want to see anyone violating the rules of the competition. Otherwise... Don't blame me for being ruthless! "
As soon as the Deacon's voice faded, the discussions in the square disappeared. Gao Wu's body was emitting a strong aura, causing people to be afraid of him. His tone was filled with a faint murderous aura, making people feel even more afraid.
Gao Wu really enjoyed the atmosphere of the scene. This was the result he wanted. He glanced at the disciples again and continued, "Everyone, today is the first day of the competition, the elimination round! The notice for the competition has been announced half a month ago. I'm sure all of you are familiar with the rules of the competition. I'm too lazy to announce it here. Next, let's begin the drawing process."
After Gao Wu finished speaking, the two disciples immediately carried a box of lots onto the arena. Currently, there were hundreds of disciples in the core area of Afterglow Peak. In the competition, the disciples had no names, so they drew lots. That was their names.
"Now, please line up in order. After the lots are drawn, I will arrange for everyone to participate in the elimination round according to the number of matches. In the elimination round, the disciples who lost will be eliminated, and the victorious disciples will be promoted to the competition tomorrow. Of course, after the elimination matches are over, the team of the disciples who lost the elimination matches will be the team that they belong to. If they won, they could challenge anyone who didn't belong to their own team. The challenger will replace the disciple's number and become the next challenger. "
Qi Zhuohao and the others weren't surprised. They already knew about this situation. The disciples quickly formed a long line and started to draw lots on the stage one by one.
Today, there were many new and powerful disciples in the square. Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia both felt some pressure. Of course, what they were most worried about was meeting each other in the competition.
One should know that even the disciples of the same group. As long as they met the number of numbers, they would be eliminated from the competition and advance to the next level. In other words, Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia, Qian Ling and the others could become opponents for each other. Luck was also very important in order to get into the top three of the Afterglow Peak's battlefield.
