184: You can't lose even if you admit defeat

The Sect martial arts competition was held as scheduled.

Not only people from various Sects came,

but also people from the Yang family.

People from the Jinling Family also came.

People from all major Families came.

Originally, the various Sects and even Families had similar competitions.

No one was particularly interested in watching.

Sending a few representatives was considered giving Face to the Sect.

However,

this time, the Sect Masters of the Eleven Sects all came.

The Clan Chiefs of the major Families also came.

Many strong individuals from the Demonic Path and their Schools also arrived.

The reason it garnered such attention from the various forces in Yunzhou, besides Yang Yi's involvement,

was more importantly, according to rumors, the Luoyue Divine Sword of the Luoyue Sect was found, and the Sect Master would announce this matter after the competition.

The Luoyue Divine Sword had nothing to do with the various forces.

However, according to information gathered by various forces,

a huge secret was hidden within the Luoyue Divine Sword.

Furthermore,

it coincided with the imminent opening of the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

Everyone was also preparing to discuss the candidates for the Tian Yuan Secret Realm at the Luoyue Sect.

The Tian Yuan Secret Realm opens every few years.

After it opens,

the number of people who can enter is limited.

After many years of observation, it was found that

each time the Tian Yuan Secret Realm opens,

it can only accommodate one thousand people.

Anyone who enters beyond that number

will be killed by the energy within the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

One thousand people seems like a large number,

but after being divided among the various forces,

each force actually doesn't get many spots to enter the Tian Yuan Secret Realm.

For example, the Twelve Sects.

If each of the Twelve Sects sends ten people,

that's one hundred and twenty people.

And then when other forces divide it up,

each force won't get too many slots.

In the past, to compete for slots,

various martial arts competitions would be held.

But everyone felt that such competitions were unnecessary because

entering the Tian Yuan Secret Realm once would result in many casualties.

Before even entering,

more people died than those who actually entered.

It was not worth the loss.

Later, everyone started discussing it.

Of course, it was also allocated according to the strength of each Sect.

Stronger forces would be allocated more.

Yang Yi greeted the people he was familiar with

and then returned to the Sect's team.

He sat with Yue Lingxin.

Originally, Yang Yi wasn't going to participate in this Sect competition.

But, alas,

the Sect Master and several Old Ancestors strongly requested that he participate.

There was no other way.

He could only sign up.

However,

Yang Yi had already planned it out.

Once he was on stage,

he would proactively concede.

Want to fight me?

No way.

My strength no longer needs to be proven by a Sect competition.

Soon,

it was Yang Yi's turn to go on stage.

In front of everyone,

when the referee on the stage called out Yang Yi's name,

the originally noisy venue suddenly became silent.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Yang Yi.

Yang Yi slowly walked onto the stage.

He nodded slightly at the Disciple he was about to fight.

He wanted to appear polite and gentlemanly.

Just as he was about to ask for the Disciple's name,

who knew that this Disciple's mouth was even faster than Yang Yi's?

He directly said, "I concede."

Yang Yi stood there stunned.

He was clearly going to concede first.

How was this guy faster than him?

Seeing the Disciple about to leave,

Yang Yi quickly called out to him.

"Wait a moment."

"Don't concede."

"I concede."

The Disciple turned around,

looking at Yang Yi with a bewildered expression.

He didn't know what he meant.

Yang Yi raised both hands above his head,

grinning foolishly at everyone.

"I concede."

"I concede."

As he spoke,

he started to walk down.

Just as Yang Yi was about to leave the stage,

the referee suddenly blocked his path.

He forcibly pulled Yang Yi back to the center of the stage.

"I announce,

the winner of this match is Yang Yi."

As he spoke,

he also raised Yang Yi's right arm.

Yang Yi's right hand was limply raised by him.

His five fingers were like broken willow branches.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

They wanted to laugh but couldn't.

The Disciples of Luoyue Sect felt uncomfortable.

Some people said,

"Yang Yi is looking down on us."

"He doesn't want to fight us."

"Who is he, anyway?

He's someone who can kill the Sect Master."

"How could he fight with us nobodies?"

Others said,

"People strive for higher places,

and water flows to lower places."

"Yang Yi is so strong now."

"Why would he waste his time on such a boring competition?"

And there were those who said,

"I think Yang Yi did the right thing."

"If he really fought,

who could win against him?"

The Disciples discussed animatedly.

Sect Master Sect Leader Yue Sha called Yang Yi over

and severely reprimanded him.

She warned Yang Yi that he absolutely could not concede again.

If he conceded again,

she would expel him from the Luoyue Sect.

Yang Yi reluctantly agreed.

However, he played a little trick.

"I won't concede, but you can't blame me if I can't beat you."

Sect Leader Yue Sha stared fiercely at Yang Yi.

"If you don't think for yourself,

you should at least think about the Old Ancestor."

"If you embarrass him,

it's like slapping him in the Face."

"Then the Three Old Ancestors will probably become arrogant again."

"You yourself won't have an easy time either."

"It's better to get first place."

"For yourself, and to earn some Face for Manxin Old Ancestor."

Yang Yi rubbed his temples,

a bit impatient.

"Got it."

"I'll think about it carefully."

This Sect competition had nothing to do with Yang Yi.

As soon as Yang Yi went on stage,

the Disciples very sensibly conceded.

Thus,

Yang Yi didn't even lift a finger

and had already advanced continuously.

Finally, he advanced to the top twenty.

The top twenty were all strong individuals from the Luoyue Sect.

Yue Lingxin was also among them.

Coincidentally,

Yue Lingxin actually was matched against Yang Yi.

Yue Lingxin was different from others.

Others would concede,

but she wouldn't.

She really wanted to exchange a few moves with Yang Yi.

This girl wouldn't concede.

Yang Yi helplessly spread his hands,

his tone carrying a hint of threat.

"If you fight me,

I'll deliberately lose to you."

"Then I'll say you cried and begged me to lose."

Yue Lingxin widened her beautiful eyes,

staring at Yang Yi in disbelief.

How could this guy be so shameless?

He could clearly defeat her.

He just needed to act.

But he didn't want to act.

He still wanted her to concede directly.

But she was also afraid that Yang Yi would actually do that.

If he told the Sect Master like he did just now,

the Sect Master would definitely scold her.

Pursing her lips,

Yue Lingxin was helpless.

She could only concede proactively.

As a result,

Yang Yi advanced to the top ten.

Among the top ten,

besides Yang Yi,

there were also the Three Elders,

who were the Disciples of the Three Old Ancestors.

Just the Disciples of the Old Ancestors accounted for four people.

The remaining six Disciples were stunned when they saw this situation.

There was no suspense.

The other six Disciples proactively conceded when facing Yang Yi and the four others.

Their rankings would also be the bottom five.

As for the battle for the top four,

it would be selected from Yang Yi and the Disciples of the Three Old Ancestors.

Originally, it was a two-on-two match.

But at the beginning of the match,

Sect Master Sect Leader Yue Sha walked onto the stage.
