Chapter 175 The Inner Sect Competition Begins

"Since you performed well this time, I will let you go for now."

After waving away the flame barrier, Gu He smiled and said to the guardian Wu.

Hearing this, the guardian Wu, who was originally a little depressed, was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for not killing me. Don't worry, I will never reveal your information after I get out..."

It is obvious that the guardian Wu misunderstood something, and kept making a series of promises in front of Gu He.

"Go out?"

"Who said I won't let you out?"

Hearing this, Gu He couldn't help showing a strange look on his face.

Could this guardian Wu be beaten stupid by me?

It has come to this point, I am lucky not to kill him, but he still wants to go out?

It seems a bit not very smart.

"You don't plan to let me out?"

"You still want to imprison me?"

Hearing this, the face of the Wu protector changed, and he roared.

"Can I let you go like this?"

Gu He sneered, and before the Wu protector could curse, he waved his hand, and a suction force surged out, sucking him into the jade bottle again, and then the invisible flame was poured in. When sealing the jade bottle, it was constantly permeating with high temperature, making the Wu protector's soul always in a state of serious injury.

After sealing the Wu protector again, Gu He exhaled lightly, and then his face became a little solemn.

From what the Wu protector said, he knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg of the huge Soul Palace.

But even this small tip shocked him.

At least, now he definitely does not have the strength to fight against the Soul Palace.

"Alas, it would be great if I had a strong backer." Thinking of his current situation, Gu He showed a helpless look on his face.

The reason why he acted so low-key and did not dare to expose his own strength was nothing more than fearing that the people of the Soul Palace would target him.

Now, he has no backers except his own strength.

Once he fully exposed his strength and provoked the strong men of the Soul Palace, the consequences would be disastrous.

If he had a strong enough backer behind him at this moment, even if he exposed his strength, it would not be a big deal.

But this kind of thing cannot be forced, and there are not many backers on the Douqi Continent that can make the Soul Clan afraid.

Thinking of this, Gu He sighed helplessly.

Without a backer, he can only rely on himself.

Before he has enough strength, Gu He will never confront the Soul Palace head-on.

Next, Gu He took out the two volumes of soul secrets and began to study them carefully.

Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, a day passed. The inner disciple ranking competition that the Yunlan Sect disciples had been looking forward to for a long time finally ushered in the day of its start.

…………

The inner disciple competition is the most lively time of the year for the entire Yunlan Sect.

During the competition, those inner disciple elites who are rarely seen and those elders who are elusive will appear one by one.

Because the inner disciple ranking competition was originally a stage for the inner disciple elites. Only disciples with a cultivation level above Fighter and under the age of eight are eligible to participate.

Ordinary disciples below the Fighter realm are just spectators watching from the sidelines.

Even if only the inner sect elite disciples participated, the number was not small. According to statistics, there were exactly 1016 elite disciples above the fighter level in the entire Yunlan Sect inner sect.

The inner sect disciple ranking competition has always adopted an elimination system, that is, two disciples go to the ring to fight, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated.

The inner sect elite disciples range from one-star fighters to nine-star fighters, and the higher the cultivation level, the fewer the number.

The one-star fighters accounted for more than half, a total of 549 people.

The two-star and four-star fighters accounted for about two-thirds, 321 people.

The four-star fighters accounted for about one-third, 114 people.

As for the four-star fighters and above, the number was the least, only a few people.

In order to prevent the high-level disciples from meeting too early, resulting in the early meeting of the two strongest, early elimination, and unfair ranking, the lottery of the ranking competition has a set of rules.

In each round of lottery, the disciples with high cultivation are given priority, and the target of the lottery is the disciples with the lowest cultivation.

That is to say, if there are no one-star disciples, the lottery starts with the disciples with one-star cultivation.

The target of their lottery must start with the disciples with one-star cultivation, until all the disciples with one-star cultivation are drawn, and then the disciples with two-star cultivation are drawn as the target of the lottery.

By analogy, after the disciples with two-star cultivation are drawn, they can draw disciples with one-star cultivation as the target.

There are a total of 1016 elite inner disciples. After each round of competition, half of the disciples will be eliminated. A full round of competition is required to determine the first place.

If the number of disciples who continue to compete becomes an odd number during the period, then very fortunately, there will be a bye, and the disciples with a bye will directly advance to the next round of competition.

…………

On this day, the inner square of Yunlan Sect was crowded with people and noisy. Several inner disciples gathered on the square at this moment.

In the inner square, the number of arenas has increased from one to eight, with seven new arenas, divided into two rows, facing each other.

To the east of each arena, a stand is built with a seat on it. Each arena has an outer elder and an outer deacon to watch.

There are six groups of disciples in the whole inner sect, divided into 6 peaks. Each peak has an inner sect elder as the peak master, two outer sect elders as deputy peak masters, and several deacons responsible for the management and teaching of the disciples in each peak.

Each ring is guarded by an outer sect elder, and each peak sends a deacon to watch as a notarization.

In front of the inner sect square, a larger stand is built, with a pavilion on it. It is where the inner sect peak masters and some outer sect elders are located. They can watch the situation on any ring from this pavilion.

"Who do you think will win the first place in this inner sect ranking competition?"

"Of course, it must be Senior Sister Nalan. I heard that her cultivation has already reached the level of a six-star fighter, and she is also the direct disciple of the sect master. The first place in this inner sect competition must be Senior Sister Nalan."

"The grandson of the great elder, Senior Brother Yunluo is very powerful. Last year, his cultivation level entered the level of a two-star fighter. This time, in addition to Senior Sister Nalan, "Sister, in my opinion, no one can match Brother Yunluo."

"Brother Lin Hao is very powerful. He is the direct disciple of the second elder. He was one of the top two in the inner gate last year. After another year, his strength may exceed Brother Yunluo!"

"In my opinion, the top of this competition should be Sister Nalan, Brother Yun, and Brother Lin. This is estimated to be undisputed."
