101: Chapter 101 The Green Snake really felt extremely embarrassed.
Xu Qing felt he could make a blunt statement.
People in the Cultivation World generally specialize too much.
Clearly, this Wang Shumo is someone who focuses on the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of the Blade, Ice Spells, and Fire Spells.
Saying it like that, it doesn't seem like specializing too much anymore.
She can only be considered the type who only takes core courses and tells elective courses to get lost.
"Senior Sister Wang has become stronger again."
"Maybe Senior Sister Wang will be able to defeat Senior Brother Xu this time."
"Don't forget, there's also West River Maiden this time."
"..."
Xu Qing continued to prick up his ears to eavesdrop on the Disciples nearby.
He really couldn't bring himself to go up and chat, and no Disciples came to talk to him either.
A vacuum zone had even appeared around him; no Disciples sat down or came near.
It's enough to make a snake sad.
Continue Eavesdropping.
[Ding, proficiency has reached the requirement]
[Obtained skill: Eavesdropping Lv. 1]
Suddenly, the voices in his ears became many times clearer.
"System, stop giving me strange skills!"
Xu Qing always felt that if this continued, his skill bar might take up two pages.
"Next group, Bai Ni versus West River Maiden."
Now, whether it was the Disciples watching below the arena or the Golden Core Elders, everyone's interest was piqued.
"It's my turn already?"
Xu Qing flew toward the arena and landed on its eastern side.
A female cultivator in a gray dress also stepped onto the stage, landing on one side of the arena.
Her cultivation was over two hundred and twenty years, at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
The snake and the human bowed to each other and then prepared for battle.
"Then, begin!"
As the Referee Elder's voice fell, Bai Ni turned into an afterimage and vanished.
"Illusion?"
Having seen Bai Ni's skill bar, Xu Qing wasn't surprised at all.
A pair of heterochromatic black and white eyes looked around.
As expected, he was still a bit afraid of illusion abilities; even after evolving, he hadn't obtained any See Through type skills.
"Swish!"
A blade light appeared, slashing fiercely toward Xu Qing's neck.
Xu Qing hurriedly threw a punch.
His Divine Ability, Great Strength, had already reached Lv. 5. Combined with the enhancement of his Yao Beast body, his punch let out a loud sonic boom.
The monstrous strength directly shattered the blade light into fragments. The surrounding air distorted, creating a twisted tornado that crashed into the Formation covering the arena.
"What monstrous strength!"
The Referee Elder standing by couldn't help but gasp.
Looking at Xu Qing's petite body, it was impossible to imagine him possessing such power.
Small body, big energy.
"Illusion again?"
"How troublesome."
Xu Qing frowned as he saw his punch hit empty air.
This was why he hated illusions the most.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Dozens of figures appeared from all directions, all rushing toward Xu Qing.
"Hmph, since that's the case..."
"I'll let you try what it means for one strength to subdue ten skills, and one strength to break ten thousand laws."
Xu Qing took a deep breath, his hands quickly forming seals as he chanted under his breath.
Twisted tree roots extended from his sleeves, Entwining around his hands in circles.
Soon, a pair of giant claws, extremely disproportionate to his body, appeared.
"Break!"
The giant claws struck out in all directions. Before the figures could even get close, they were smashed into fragments and dissipated.
At the same time, his large tail was also swinging around happily, its Great Strength dispersing one figure after another.
The entire arena was filled with green afterimages.
Smacking the afterimages everywhere, Xu Qing actually found a sense of pleasure similar to playing Whac-A-Mole.
"Huh, did my tail hit something?"
Xu Qing turned his head and saw that Bai Ni had been knocked unconscious by his unintentionally swinging tail.
The Disciples below all gasped at the sight.
Making a significant contribution to the global warming of the Cultivation World.
"How brutal!"
"Monstrous strength!"
"This is a Yao Beast?"
"No, even Yao Beasts aren't this ridiculous. This is a monster."
"The Yao Beast I'm raising is stunned."
As a Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, Bai Ni's rank among the Foundation Establishment Disciples was in the upper tier; who would have thought she would fall in the first round this year?
"I didn't expect that just by relying on this physical body, I'm already almost unstoppable."
Xu Qing tried to squeeze the sturdy muscles on his arm.
However, it was just a slender arm.
"West River Maiden wins."
"Next group, Li..."
Xu Qing stepped off the arena, and the surrounding Disciples parted to make a path.
They didn't even dare to look at Xu Qing's tail as freely as before.
After all, that tail had just easily sent a Disciple flying.
And looking at the fight just now, the green snake was basically just swinging its tail randomly.
The matches went quickly, and the first round of the competition ended.
One must know that the Grand Competition isn't something all Disciples in the sect can participate in.
Only the top one hundred on the rankings can participate.
Participants need to challenge those on the rankings in their daily lives to have a chance to join the Grand Competition.
Including Xu Qing, there were a total of one hundred and one people this year.
There was one bye at the start.
So in the second round, only fifty-one Disciples remained.
"It looks like this will be over soon."
In the second round, Xu Qing predictably achieved victory.
This Disciple only excelled in blade techniques and didn't really counter Xu Qing's illusions.
So he was easily defeated by Xu Qing, who advanced to the third round.
By the way, in the second round, a Chosen One at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage got a bye and entered the third round.
In the third round, only twenty-six Disciples remained.
Xu Qing still won easily.
Xu Qing also wanted a bye; if one could get something for nothing, who would want to work hard?
Three rounds ended.
It was getting late, and the remaining rounds would continue tomorrow.
Xu Qing stretched and flew toward his living quarters.
But he was blocked by Xu Huafan.
Xu Huafan looked at Xu Qing and flashily flicked the bangs covering his left eye.
Then he said:
"West River Maiden, though thou art strong."
"Thou art a worthy opponent, but in the presence of me, Xu Huafan..."
"The odds of thy victory are but..."
"That single word..."
"Zero."
Damn, watching this made Xu Qing's chuunibyou flare up.
If he had toes, Xu Qing would have cringed hard enough to dig out a three-bedroom apartment in front of this guy.
Plus a kitchen and a bathroom.
TV, fridge, and decorations wouldn't be missing either.
Xu Qing felt so embarrassed that he quickly pretended not to know the guy and silently walked around him.
"Didn't hear anything, didn't hear anything."
"Hmph, West River Maiden, I officially declare war on thee."
"However, only by striving to reach the final struggle shalt thou gain the chance to battle me."
"Be joyful."
"If so, thou shalt receive my full strength in battle."
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening, just a bastard's chanting."
Xu Qing covered his ears and fled the scene.
If he listened any longer, he was afraid he would evolve into an Embarrassing Heavenly Snake on the spot.
Damn, this guy is really toxic.
He clearly seemed quite normal when he spoke on stage before.
This Xuanyun Sect is finished; there are no normal people left.
A nest of perverts and psychologically twisted people.
Not only does the Yao Race have no future, but the Human Race has no future either!
The entire Cultivation World has no future!
