Chapter 148 A Free Round

When they arrived at the competition arena, they soon encountered a sect that were challenging them.

They were above average in strength and were not bad.

Unfortunately, they were suppressed by the Gu Immortal Sect, which walked away with a score of 3:0.

After Wan Qian returned to the group, they did not need to use any tactics against such a sect.

Fang Yuan, Gu Tianqing, and Wan Qian were the most stable point scorers.

There was no need to use Qin Han, who had been hiding his strength.

After all, he was only a fourth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master. Compared to Wan Qian, a sword cultivator, and even a prodigy, he was much weaker.At this time, the Gu Immortal Sect had already won three consecutive victories. Even though they lost two points in the first round, it did not affect their total points, and they were able to squeeze into the top ten sects in the eastern region.

Fang Yuan looked at the other nine sects. Other than a few that were too far away and had never been heard of, the rest were very famous existences with tyrannical strength.

The Tianxiang Sect was one of them.

They were an all female sect. They actually obtained eighteen points and were ranked first in the eastern district.

Such strength could not be underestimated.

But Fang Yuan had already made a breakthrough. It would be interesting if he fought against opponents of the same level. Unfortunately, the probability would not be high anymore.

It was already the something for a rising star sect to have the strength of a fourth layer Enlightenment Realm cultivator, while having a fifth layer cultivator was already extremely rare.

As for a sixth layer cultivator…

Other than Fang Yuan, there was no one else in the eastern region.

With such strength against the Tianxiang Sect, no matter who he met, he had full confidence.

Next, he fell into a long wait.

“So slow.”

Ruan Qinghe said in boredom. “This is only the first stage of the Gu Dao convention. Using this screening method, when will the first place be decided among the thousands of sects?”

“There’s no choice, the outer regions are still peaceful. There are no wars between the few empires, and there are no super large mystic realms for so many people to explore together.”

Fang Yuan also felt that it was slow, but there was nothing he could do. “If we can’t rank them by merit points and gains, then we can only determine who is better through a competition.”

“I went ahead to understand the contents of the rules for the next few stages.”

Gu Tianqing said in a deep voice. “The second stage will divide us sects another time. The top-ranked ones will be put against each other. It’ll be two against two, and we’ll still have to fight three rounds.”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, “This will be a test of teamwork. Junior Bing Ning and Yao Guang can go on stage. With their help, we can use raise the strengths of our fourth layers to the level of fifth layers.”

“The test of teamwork is still to come.”

Gu Tianqing continued. “After the second stage is over, the third stage will be divided into a round of five against five and a round of ten against ten. When we fight against two sects, and we will all have to go on stage together.”

“Won’t that turn into a chaotic battle?” Ruan Qinghe’s eyes darted around, full of excitement. She looked very interested.

“If that’s the case, everyone will be very important.” Gu Yuange’s voice was gentle.

“I feel that Senior Fang alone is enough.”

Zhou Chang scratched his head. “We don’t have much actual combat experience. When the time comes, we’ll just protect ourselves and let him fight them one by one.”

“No matter how strong the leader is, he can’t fight ten…”

After saying that, Gu Tianqing suddenly remembered that Fang Yuan had already broken through to the sixth layer of the Enlightenment Realm. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Fang Yuan and asked uncertainly, “Senior, can you do it?”

“If the opponent’s strength isn’t particularly outstanding, there’s no problem.”

Fang Yuan smiled slightly. “If the progress in the first stage is very slow, after a few days when I stabilize my realm, I can try to break through to the seventh layer. That way, there’s a high chance of success.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wan Qian.

Everyone was speechless.

He just broke through and he wanted to break through again?

He really treated cultivation as easy as drinking water!

Gu Tianqing didn’t believe it.

Even Zhou Chang and Qin Han didn’t believe

it.

No matter how monstrous Senior Fang’s talent was, it was impossible for such exaggeration!

Only Wan Qian knew that Fang Yuan really had this ability.

After all…

Last night when she was with him, they had produced quite a lot of purple Qi.

This kind of mystical aura could greatly increase the Gu worms’ cultivation speed. Under the nourishment of spirit essence, a breakthrough would be a matter of course.

In addition, she could provide spirit essence to Fang Yuan during dual cultivation. This way, it would be even easier.

Thinking of this, she could not help but lower her head, not daring to look into Fang Yuan’s eyes.

Fang Yuan did not care. He had already placed his attention on the arena.

As a figure was knocked out of the arena, the battle officially ended.

The judge began to read out the announcement. The next person to go up was number 86.

Both the challenger and the challenged entered the arena.

Fang Yuan looked over. The Tianxiang Sect indeed lived up to its reputation. Although each of the members had a light veil covering their faces, their outstanding and refined temperament still exuded, instantly attracting the gazes of many passersby.

More importantly, out of the ten people in their team, four of them were at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

Such a grand lineup was not inferior to the Gu Immortal Sect.

He just did not know their actual strength.

A Gu master’s strength was not only affected by their realm. There were many other factors as well.

Right now, they had a fifth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master that had yet to recover from his injuries. Fang Yuan could not even wake him up with the Essence Replenishment Gu.

If they fought all five rounds, their chances of winning were not high.

“It’s our turn.”

Fang Yuan thought for a while, before saying, “Zhou Chang, go ahead, fight a little longer. Let us witness the power of the Tianxiang Sect’s heavenly essence Yin shouting technique.”

“Alright!”

Facing an evenly matched sect, being the first to fight basically meant defeat.

Zhou Chang knew he was going to lose, but he did not reject. Instead, he joked. “They are all beautiful senior and junior sisters, how I can attack them?”

Soon after, he entered. The Tianxiang Sect gave him full respect, sending a fifth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master.

Tianxiang Sect’s Su Oian, fifth laver Enlightenment Realm, please enlighten me.”

Zhou Chang smiled bitterly. “Gu Immortal Sect’s Zhou Chang, fourth layer Enlightenment Realm. Senior sister, you can be gentler on me.”

Su Qian’s expression did not change. She was extremely cold.

After the countdown ended, she attacked.

With a bam, a figure flew out. Zhou Chang fell heavily on the ground, coughing continuously.

“Cough… this chick… is really ruthless.”

Zero to one, free round!
