151: After the competition concluded, Wu Yan was summoned.
"What! It's actually a draw? How did this happen?"
"How could there be a draw? Between the two of them, surely one must be slightly stronger?"
"Exactly. Senior Sister Mu possesses that elusive ability, yet she still couldn't defeat Senior Brother Ye. Senior Brother Ye is too monstrous."
Upon hearing Li Big Saber announce that Night Owl and Mu Xueqing had fought to a draw, the Disciples on the benches were all shocked.
After all, Mu Xueqing possessed the ability to merge into space, and she had even sent Night Owl flying at the very beginning.
They had all felt that the odds of Mu Xueqing winning this match were high, so Li Big Saber's announcement that the two were tied really surprised them.
No one explained the reason to the Disciples.
Hearing Li Big Saber's voice, Night Owl leaped back to his seat on the bench.
Meanwhile, a happy-looking Qin Fei'er flew into the competition ring, ready to spar with Mu Xueqing.
"Senior Sister Mu, you can't ambush me. I'm no match for you, so let's just have a casual spar," Qin Fei'er said to Mu Xueqing weakly.
Even Night Owl couldn't defeat Mu Xueqing, so it was even less likely for her to pose a threat to Mu Xueqing.
Therefore, she only wanted to complete the sparring task assigned by the Elder and had never thought about defeating Mu Xueqing.
"Mm, Junior Sister Qin, I won't ambush you. Let's just have a standard spar." Mu Xueqing nodded and charged toward Qin Fei'er.
The two of them fought back and forth in the competition ring, with Martial Skills flying everywhere.
The Disciples on the benches watched in excitement.
They could finally watch the battle between the Saint Disciples from start to finish.
Unlike the previous two matches, where they only saw the beginning and then could only hear the sounds without seeing the people, which was truly frustrating.
Amidst the excited cheers of the Disciples, Qin Fei'er was defeated shortly after.
Immediately after, Huyan Xiaoyao also flew into the arena to continue sparring with Mu Xueqing, leaving the Disciples cheering with satisfaction.
However, under Mu Xueqing's intense offensive, Huyan Xiaoyao was also defeated, looking dejected.
This brought the competition to a close.
Seeing that the competition had reached its conclusion, Li Big Saber stood up, walked in front of Jiang Chen, and bowed.
"Sect Master, the competition is over. I ask that the Sect Master address the Disciples to offer some encouragement."
"Mm."
Jiang Chen nodded faintly at these words, then stood up and spoke slowly to the Disciples on the benches.
"Disciples, this competition has now successfully concluded."
"Although there were wins and losses in your performances on the arena, do not be arrogant or discouraged. As long as you Cultivate diligently, you will eventually reach the Peak. Do not let temporary victory or defeat erode your Dao Heart."
Jiang Chen's words echoed in the Disciples' ears like thunder.
Night Owl and the others, along with over one hundred thousand Disciples, immediately stood up, bowed to Jiang Chen, and shouted excitedly.
"We Disciples will keep the Sect Master's teachings in mind!!"
"This Disciple will keep the Revered Master's teachings in mind!!"
"Mm. Now, I will let the Grand Elder continue speaking to you."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly and remained seated on his throne, waiting for Li Big Saber to arrange for the Disciples to leave.
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Li Big Saber immediately stood in front of the stage and shouted to the crowd of over one hundred thousand.
"Disciples, the competition has now ended."
"Disciples who entered the top 100 rankings and won rewards, come to the entrance of the Time Pagoda later to collect your rewards from me."
"As for the Disciples who did not enter the top 100, do not be discouraged. As long as you Cultivate properly, you will have the opportunity to enter the top 100 in the future and obtain what you deserve."
"Now, you may all leave and go Cultivate!!"
Upon hearing this, over one hundred thousand Disciples stood up, bowed, and shouted, "Yes, Elder! We Disciples shall take our leave!!"
After bowing, the crowd of over one hundred thousand exited the plaza in an orderly fashion and headed toward the Time Pagoda and the cultivation towers.
The Peak Great Emperor Elder directly in front of the arena also bowed to Jiang Chen and returned to their respective posts.
"Big Saber, summon Wu Yan to the Main Hall. This Sect Master has something to say to him."
Watching everyone leave, Jiang Chen instructed Li Big Saber impatiently.
Now that the competition was over, it was time to continue increasing the strength of the Qingtian Sect.
"Yes, Sect Master. I will notify Wu Yan immediately and have him go to the Main Hall to see the Sect Master." Li Big Saber bowed, accepted the order, and walked toward the Time Pagoda.
He had to go distribute rewards now, so it was the perfect time to notify Wu Yan and have him go to the Main Hall to meet Jiang Chen on his own.
As for what Jiang Chen wanted with Wu Yan, that was none of his concern.
After Li Big Saber left, Jiang Chen took Liu Shu and returned to the Main Hall.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Time Pagoda, Wu Yan, who was preparing to collect his reward, was called over by Li Big Saber.
"This Disciple greets the Grand Elder!!"
After Wu Yan bowed to Li Big Saber, he glanced at Li Big Saber with some confusion, not understanding why Li Big Saber had called him over alone.
"Wu Yan, the Sect Master has summoned you. Go to the Main Hall to meet the Sect Master now," Li Big Saber said with a calm expression.
"Ah! The Sect Master is summoning me?"
Hearing Li Big Saber's words, Wu Yan was completely bewildered.
He had only met Jiang Chen twice—once when he entered the sect, and once during this competition.
Now that Jiang Chen was summoning him alone, it was truly a huge surprise.
"Could it be that my heroic demeanor caught the Sect Master's attention, and he wants to give me an extra reward?"
Wu Yan was secretly delighted.
If that were the case, then this competition was truly worth it. After all, getting a double reward—how could he not be happy?
"Yes, Elder. This Disciple will go to the Main Hall to see the Sect Master now."
Wu Yan snapped out of it, bowed to Li Big Saber, and ran excitedly toward the Main Hall.
On the way, Wu Yan asked the Remnant Soul Master inside the jade pendant, "Revered Master, do you think the Sect Master summoned me to give me another reward?"
Although he felt that was the case, it was still necessary to ask his Remnant Soul Master.
After all, his Revered Master was a figure who had lived for tens of thousands of years; he had eaten more salt than Wu Yan had eaten rice, so his insight was definitely broader.
"Mm, Yan'er, that is very possible. When you see the Sect Master later, you must face him yourself. You must absolutely not call me 'Revered Master' in front of your Sect Master, understand?"
The remnant soul inside Wu Yan's jade pendant instructed in a serious tone.
The Sect Master of Qingtian Sect calling Wu Yan over would definitely bring benefits, not harm.
What he was worried about was that Wu Yan might contact him while meeting the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect, in which case he would be discovered by the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect.
Having stayed in the Qingtian Sect for so long, he had long understood the terror of the Qingtian Sect and knew that there were Great Emperors within the Qingtian Sect, and that the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect himself was a Great Emperor.
Therefore, whenever he encountered the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect or the Elders, he would completely suppress his aura, fearing that he would be discovered and some accident would occur.
After all, although he was just a remnant soul, he was still very useful; for refining an ultimate dao emperor weapon, he was a rare choice for an artifact spirit.
If a Great Emperor Expert discovered his existence, he would definitely be captured to serve as an artifact spirit.
