Chapter 347 Sect Competition 8!
The morning sunlight, like swords of light, pierced through the dawn. Cheng Jiu sat atop Xiaocang Mountain, gazing at the snow-capped peaks and the sea of clouds, and a rare sense of weariness crept into his heart.
Large fish soared through the sea of clouds in search of food, their azure forms light and powerful!
This is the sect she belongs to, the Guiyuan Sect!
Cheng Jiu was unusually lazy, his hair loose and lying on the bluestone, enjoying this moment of tranquility and beauty!
White clouds, carrying the lingering essence of the starry sea, hid in the mist and stealthily approached the large fish that were foraging for food. The next second, the clouds swirled and the mist surged like a whirlwind, attacking the orderly array of large fish, making the beast dizzy and unable to see clearly.
The little cloud beast laughed heartily as it watched the dazed and disoriented big fish clutch its chubby body.
The large fish that were foraging for food were suddenly attacked by the little cloud beast, plunging the entire group into chaos.
Their chubby bodies collided with each other, scattering like a floating ball.
A long, drawn-out chant, like a song, rang out.
The big fish leader stared at the little troublemaker.
(▼plate▼)
At the leader's summons, the chaotic ranks instantly returned to order.
The azure figure, noticeably larger than its kind, leaped upwards and plunged into the chubby body of the little cloud beast.
The cloud whale leader passed through the body of the small cloud beast, followed closely by the other cloud whales.
One after another, they swept the little cloud beast to pieces.
Little Cloud Beast: I can't laugh anymore!
(つД`)
After it finally managed to reassemble its body, it felt a chill down its back. The cloud whale leader had returned with its people and was now staring intently at its body.
"Waaaaah!!!"
Help!
A cloud streaked across the sky like a shooting star, leaving a trail of cloud!
Its body is made up of a series of large fish arranged in an orderly fashion!
"Woo! Woo!"
Please stop chasing!
The little cloud beast, which had been chased around, quickly disappeared into a giant dragon-shaped cloud!
Bang! Bang! The banging continued!
As if it had hit some hard object, the large fish, unable to brake in time, fell from the clouds and came to a stop in mid-air.
Little Cloud Beast: o(≧▽≦)o
A low roar, belonging to a dragon, came from the dragon-shaped cloud. A magnificent, dark dragon emerged from the cloud, each movement accompanied by a waterfall of clouds. Its fury seemed to be tainted by its own rage as it rode the fiery clouds straight towards the sullen white cloud.
With a muffled bang, the little cloud beast transformed into mist, causing the black dragon to miss its target.
The plump white body swayed slightly, then solidified into the little cloud beast's cheeky smile.
"Woo! Woo!"
They mocked the black dragon for overestimating his own abilities.
Unbeknownst to them, the Narwhals had reorganized their team.
The little cloud beast turned around and came face to face with the cloud whale team that was regrouping and ready to go.
Cloud Whale Leader: o(▼皿▼メ;)o
Little Cloud Beast: Σ(????)?
The cloud whale leader leaped upwards, and the little cloud beast fled in panic!
A new round has begun, only this time with a dark figure added to the mix.
"The weather is so nice today!"
Cheng Jiu picked up the Heavenly Wood Sword beside him and began his morning training.
The sword dances at will, each move and stance in harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth, causing green grass and plants to grow wildly, dancing with the intent of the sword!
Cheng Jiu was completely absorbed in this moment. Everything else faded away in her world. Her mind was free of distractions, and all she could see was the sword in her hand!
As a burst of sword intent shot out, the huge blue stone split in two, and an invisible sword aura surged from the crack.
Cheng Jiu's forehead was slightly damp with sweat, and her body was getting warm. She reached out and touched the bluestone with a touch of regret, feeling that lying on it was quite comfortable.
"Yunbao! Moyu, we should go!" Cheng Jiu shouted as he chased after the figure in the sky.
"Woo! Woo!" Upon hearing Cheng Jiu's summons, the little cloud beast rushed towards Cheng Jiu. Its chubby white figure hid behind Cheng Jiu, pitifully complaining to him, looking both pitiful and adorable.
Following closely behind were the enraged Mo Yu and the Cloud Whale clan, who had been provoked.
Seeing that this cheeky spirit beast actually dared to complain, she became even angrier!
They were eyeing the plump, white, green tea-colored creature intently.
"Alright, alright! Stop pretending to be pitiful! Don't I know you?" Cheng Jiu chuckled as he rubbed the still-whining little chubby boy.
"Woo, woo?" The little cloud beast's eyes were clear and innocent, as if to say, "What are you saying? I don't understand!"
Cheng Jiu ignored the little creature pretending to be stupid and said to the cloud whale pod, "My child is ignorant. Thank you for playing with it. This is a small token of my gratitude. Please forgive me."
With a wave of his hand, the high-level spirit beast Dan Tiannu scattered like flowers, and the cloud whales stepped forward one after another to snatch them away. The cloud whales nodded to Cheng Jiu, and only then did they leave with their clansmen, satisfied!
How could that troublemaker have such a generous and sensible master! It's just a pity he's so young and has such poor judgment!
Little Cloud Beast, unaware of the Cloud Whale leader's thoughts, quietly peeked out from behind Cheng Jiu. Before it could make a move, its plump white body was controlled by an invisible barrier.
The little cloud beast froze slightly!
"Yunbao!" Cheng Jiu called out the little cloud beast's name calmly.
The little cloud beast blinked its eyes and looked at Cheng Jiu obediently, showing no sign that it had just been planning to do something naughty.
"Roar!" The little black dragon called out to Cheng Jiu in a wronged tone.
Cheng Jiu paused slightly; there was another aggrieved party involved.
This is difficult to handle. At this moment, Cheng Jiu felt like an old mother torn between her obedient eldest son and her mischievous youngest son.
If one party doesn't treat others equally, it can easily make the other party feel that they are being favored!
Cheng Jiu coughed and looked at the little cloud beast with a serious expression, his eyes involuntarily observing the little black dragon's expression: "Yunbao, you are really too naughty. Apologize to Moyu, and I'll punish you with one... two... three..."
Cheng Jiu counted to three without seeing a satisfied expression on Mo Yu's face. The little cloud beast got upset first, baring its teeth and howling.
"Roar~!" Mo Yu roared at it.
"Waaah~!"
One big and one small, one black and one white, started arguing!
Cheng Jiu silently climbed onto the large, cracked bluestone beside him, waiting for the two to reach a conclusion in their argument!
No rush, no rush, there's still plenty of time!
In the end, it's unclear how the little cloud beast persuaded the little black dragon, but the little black dragon reluctantly extended a dragon claw towards Cheng Jiu.
"Alright! Rainbow Dash will be punished with a month's worth of spirit beast food!"
Cheng Jiu announced the results of the investigation!
Despite being punished, the little cloud beast looked like it had won a great victory and was very proud of itself!
The little black dragon glanced speechlessly at the smug figure, shook its head, and transformed into a streak of ink light, disappearing into Cheng Jiu's spirit pouch at his waist!
"Alright! Rainbow Dash, let's go!"
"Waaah!"
The plump white cloud carried its master toward the Foundation Establishment stage competition arena!
Today is the final round of the Foundation Establishment stage competition!
The ten spots will be officially decided today!
"Where are the supporters of our leader?!"
With a red strip tied around his forehead that read "Yu Anxin will surely win," Mengzi Shu stood on a high rock made of earth spirit energy, raising his arms and shouting!
Beside him was Xiao Mayuan, who looked utterly hopeless and listless, with the same red cloth tied around his forehead!
How embarrassing!
Too bad! There's no escaping it! There's no escaping it!
"This!" At Meng Zishu's prompting, he and the assembled disciples raised their hands high!
He remained calm and composed when Mengzi and Yu Anxin were poisoning people in the secret realm, but now he felt his face burning hot!
Ugh! I just want to find a hole to crawl into!
What is our slogan?
"Shaking the seas and supporting the heavens, who can stand against him! Sweeping through thousands of troops, the boss is invincible!"
"Okay! Let's do it one more time!"
"Shaking the seas and supporting the heavens, who can stand against him! Sweeping through thousands of troops, the boss is invincible!"
"do it again!"
"Shaking the seas and supporting the heavens, who can stand against him! Sweeping through thousands of troops, the boss is invincible!"
This time the noise was louder and more excited, and some people even cracked their voices!
"Long live the boss!" Uncle Mengzi shouted, raising his hand!
"Long live the boss!"
Yu Anxin stood on the ring, listening to her younger brother's cheers with a look of great satisfaction on her face!
Helian Gu, standing next to her, looked at her strangely; in fact, he was the second loudest one to cheer for her!
He didn't have such a unified cheer as Yu Anxin!
As a disciple who made it to the finals, Helian Gu is young, handsome, strong, domineering, and has a cool vibe!
Naturally, it is very popular and its popularity has remained high, with many supporters!
Of course, he didn't have the same organized and planned support as Yu Anxin!
"Helian, Helian! So handsome it pierces the heavens!"
"Helian Gu! Smash them!"
"Agu! If you win first place, I'll allow you to marry me~ Mmm!"
……
Helian Gu almost lost his cool demeanor under such support!
what!what!
Master, you didn't tell me that the disciples outside were like this!
Especially that audacious declaration of love—Helian Gu just wants to say, have some shame in broad daylight! Especially since you're a man!
I have no will to live!
The other disciples of the four arts, seeing the overwhelming support from others, would certainly not allow their disciple, who had finally made it to the finals, to fall behind in terms of support!
They might not be able to match their fighting prowess!
But they all have a little money!
Among them, the alchemist disciples were the most extravagant. They would give each of their two junior brothers who agreed to support them a pill. Although the grade was not high, only third grade, it was still worth a mid-grade spirit stone!
For the disciples who came to watch the game, what's the difference between this and giving away money for free?
Support, support, strong support!
Apart from the talisman master, none of the other disciples of the four arts could be as domineering as the alchemist.
Although those pills were practice pieces, there are still differences among practice pieces!
Even the lowest-grade first-level spiritual weapon, as a weapon refiner, is worth at least a hundred mid-grade spirit stones on the market!
Could it be that alchemists give away pills while weapon refiners give away magical artifacts?
Who's so rich that they can afford to spend like this?!
Similarly, the same applies to the array peaks; their first-tier arrays are more expensive than first-tier spiritual artifacts!
And it's even harder to refine!
The talisman masters have no such concerns. If the alchemists give them pills, the talisman masters will give them talismans in return!
We will not lag behind others!
Although they could offer spirit stones of corresponding value, the weapon refiner and the formation master exchanged a glance.
I feel like we've lost compared to the other two companies. What should I do?
The disciples of Tifeng have always been united, especially since the two junior sisters from their peak made it to the finals this time!
A group of tall, strong disciples stood together. Although they were not as numerous as the other supporters, their imposing presence was in no way inferior!
Cheng Jiu noticed that her junior sister Yuan Ning also had a lot of support. Cheng Jiu then saw a familiar pair of figures: the Yuan siblings!
Behind them followed the familiar black bear brothers, two burly figures standing silently like iron towers, guarding the two.
Its fur was jet black and glossy, clearly indicating that it was well cared for!
His cultivation level is also quite good; he's already at the Golden Core stage!
It's obvious that a lot of resources have been invested in their training!
Most of Yuan Ning's disciples were brought up by this brother and sister!
What a lively scene!
There was also the list that Senior Brother Qian had given him back then, including Yu Chengxuan, the disciple of that highly popular Daoist Master.
He had fewer supporters than other contestants, but those who came to support him were all his family and friends!
He has his uncle and master, Daoist Jiuhe, as well as his elders from Medicine King Valley, his mother who is a Nascent Soul Daoist, his father who is a Dao Integration Realm cultivator, and the disciples they previously took in!
The quality of this support lineup is far superior to that of all the disciples. Only Xuanzhen Venerable, who stands aside biting his handkerchief and worrying about his disciples, can compare with them!
Xuanzhen Venerable Lord is a Tribulation-Crossing Venerable Lord!
The atmosphere inside the venue was almost like a blazing fire, adorned with flowers and brocade, thanks to the efforts of these disciples and their supporters!
An invisible atmosphere of tension filled the air!
Not just the disciples on the field! But also the supporters of all the disciples off the field!
The Foundation Establishment stage finals have officially begun!
After several rounds of competition, the final nineteen winners were determined!
In other words, one lucky person out of these nineteen will directly receive a spot!
A one in nineteen chance! It's all about luck!
The disciples who have made it this far are all quite capable and lucky!
So who will be the lucky one in the end?
Senior Sister Chang Yue walked to the highest point of the arena in full view of everyone!
Today is the final moment that will determine our fate!
“Every disciple who has made it this far is a prodigy, whose strength and fortune surpass those of the other disciples!”
Therefore, after careful consideration, it has been decided that the final round of the Foundation Establishment Examination will be decided by drawing lots!
As soon as she finished speaking, two enormous yin-yang fish, one black and one white, slowly appeared in front of Senior Sister Chang Yue. The yin-yang fish were head and tail, and the tail and head were frantically intertwined and rotating. Nineteen streams of light were slowly brewing in the black and white fish!
"This is the sect's most treasured artifact! The Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish! The list of participants will be decided by the Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish!"
As Senior Sister Chang Yue introduced it, the black and white fish shone brightly, blooming like fireworks. Nineteen palm-sized fish emerged one after another, swimming towards the participating disciples below with clear goals!
Nine are black, nine are white! And one is half black and half white!
A cryptic smile appeared on Senior Sister Chang Yue's lips!
Yuan Ning has always been meticulous. As soon as Senior Sister Chang Yue appeared, she listened attentively to what Senior Sister Chang Yue said and paid attention to her expression, afraid of missing the slightest detail!
At this moment, noticing the enigmatic smile on Senior Sister Chang Yue's lips, Yuan Ningxin inexplicably missed a beat!
She knew that she was not particularly outstanding among these disciples!
The fact that she's standing here is entirely due to her luck, ruthlessness, and determination!
Her heart was racing!
A thought that she found unbelievable popped into her mind!
She gritted her teeth!
In any case, given her skill level, she would be eliminated against any opponent in the ring!
Why not take a gamble!
Even if you guess wrong, you're still eliminated either way!
Does she have any way out now?
A thought can shift in an instant!
Everyone saw Yuan Ning move the instant the yin-yang fish exploded! She rushed straight towards the half-yin, half-yang yin-yang fish that was most likely to advance!
His movements were as fast as lightning!
Yuan Ning wasn't the only one who thought of this; two other figures moved at the same time!
Yuan Ning's heart skipped a beat! She recognized her!
Qin Xiangmeng of Tifeng!
This time, they are a strong favorite to win a spot!
His moves were unpredictable!
There is another one, Qiu Xuan, who is also a disciple of the Supreme Elder!
A powerful swordsman whose strength surpasses that of a half-baked swordsman like her!
Their goals are the same as hers!
That fish, half yin and half yang, symbolizes luck and a spot!
