C990 The Preliminary Heat of the Competition
C990 The Preliminary Heat of the Competition
Yang Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. He had been in the Cloud Heaven Sect for two days. During these two days, he had recovered to his peak condition.
Yun Long had said that the annual competition of the inner sect of the Cloud Heaven Sect was about to begin. Yuh Qingcheng would appear in the competition at that time. Yang Xuan knew that this time, in the competition... As long as Yang Xuan appeared, he would definitely be challenged by countless of Yuh Qingcheng's suitors. At that time, there would definitely be a tough battle to fight.
Yang Xuan had also made up his mind. This time, he would not make concessions. He wanted to tell everyone in Cloud Heaven Sect that there was another man behind Yuh Qingcheng. A man that none of them could compare with.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Yang Xuan looked in the direction of the door and a smile appeared on his face. Although he didn't ask, Yang Xuan already knew who was outside the door. He waved his hand and opened the door.
Outside the door, Yun Long was wearing a long robe with cloud patterns embroidered on it. He looked at Yang Xuan with a gentle smile on his face.
"Are you ready, Yang Xuan's Fellow Daoist?"
"Of course. Let's go."
Yang Xuan smiled. He jumped from the bed to the ground and said to Yun Long.
Yun Long did not say what it was, but Yang Xuan knew without thinking. It must be the competition from the inner sect of Cloud Heaven Sect. Because the time Yun Hai told Yang Xuan about the competition was today.
Yang Xuan came to Yun Long's front and saw Yun Hai standing behind him. When Yun Hai saw Yang Xuan looking at him, he shook his head slightly at Yang Xuan, indicating that Yang Xuan should not go.
Although he had never seen the competition in the inner circle of the Cloud Heaven Sect with his own eyes, the place where Yun Hai used to live was very close to the Cloud Heaven Sect. That was why he had heard about it from some of the disciples of the Cloud Heaven Sect who had gone down the mountain.
And this time, with Yun Long's help, almost all the inner circle disciples of the Cloud Heaven Sect knew about it.
Furthermore... Other than some female disciples, there were also some disciples who already had a family. Almost all the inner circle disciples expressed their strong interest in Yang Xuan. They were all filled with fighting spirit and wanted Yun Long to express that as long as this Yang Xuan dared to show himself in the competition... Then they would definitely kill Yang Xuan.
Of course, no one was allowed to kill in the competition. However, there were over a thousand inner circle disciples in the Cloud Heaven Sect, and over a hundred of them were qualified to join the competition. As long as they took turns to go on stage, Yang Xuan would be exhausted to death even if he was tired.
However, Yun Long wasn't a fool. Naturally, he wouldn't tell the other person who was involved in this matter. Yuh Qingcheng. Although Yuh Qingcheng had not been in the inner sect for a long time, her status had risen very quickly. At that time, if Yuh Qingcheng came out to protect Yang Xuan, plus what Grand Elder said, even Yun Long didn't know what to say.
Under Yun Long's lead, Yang Xuan followed Yun Long to the back mountain alone. As for the rest of the people from the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion, Xingyun, and the others, Yang Xuan had already placed them in the Spirit Tower. This time, it was not a battle that would endanger their lives. It was just a spar. Bringing them along would only bring the opposite effect.
At the back mountain of Cloud Heaven Sect, a huge platform had been set up. The tall platform was built from a thousand year old iron wood, unless a cultivator with strength exceeding the Seventh Stage attacked from there. Otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy the platform.
The thousand year old iron wood emitted a unique grey glow, which was located at the northernmost part of the tall platform. There were rows of seats, and each Elder was sitting upright on them. They were worried that their disciples would make a fool of themselves in this spar. If that was the case, they would definitely be laughed at by their fellow disciples.
Behind those seats, the disciples of the various elders were gathered together. They were preparing for the last time before they went on stage. Among them, there were some who were not confident in their own abilities. Those who were afraid of losing their masters were very nervous. There were also some who were very confident in their own strength. They were chatting and laughing with their fellow disciples, relaxing their minds.
Yang Xuan searched the crowd of witnesses for a while before he found Yuh Qingcheng. The little girl was wearing a white dress, because she had just arrived at the Cloud Heaven Sect not long ago. She was not familiar with many people, and her popularity was too high. If she stayed with her fellow disciples, perhaps none of them would want to compete with her. So Yuh Qingcheng did not stay with her fellow disciples.
Although Yang Xuan saw Yuh Qingcheng, Yuh Qingcheng did not seem to notice Yang Xuan. She just lowered her head and did not know what she was thinking about. Beside Yuh Qingcheng, there was a person wearing black tight clothes. The woman with a veil covering her face should be Yuh Qingcheng's master. She was also the Cloud Heaven Sect's Grand Elder.
The competition would be decided by drawing lots, and the duration of the competition would be as long as a month. During this period of time, every contestant had to fight with all the other contestants. After the winner was decided, the points would be added according to the winner's state. The loser would also lose the corresponding score. In the end, the winner would be determined by the person with the same score. The final result.
This was a very complicated process, but no one felt that it was cumbersome. Because after that day's sparring competition ended, every cultivator's master would explain to their disciple the reason for today's defeat. Perhaps they won, but they still couldn't do it, so they had to continue paying attention.
As for the other cultivators under the elders who weren't qualified to participate, they would watch the competition from the side and gain experience from it.
The audience seats around the platform were already full. Before this, the Cloud Heaven Sect had never encountered such a thing before. There were more than seventy elders in the competition. Each of them would send their most outstanding disciples to participate in the competition. There were more than five thousand sparring matches, and of course, they wouldn't watch all of them.
Therefore, even if they wanted to learn the combat experience of the other participants, they would only look at the most outstanding ones among them. There were also some people who had similar fighting styles to themselves. They would just look at each other and learn from each other. However, there were two reasons why there were no empty seats this time.
One of them was naturally because of Yuh Qingcheng, although most of the people present had seen Yuh Qingcheng from afar. However, it was not enough to see her appearance clearly. And this time, more than 70 elders chose to participate in the competition. In other words, Yuh Qingcheng would appear more than 70 times. Naturally, they did not want to let go of her even once.
Another reason was that Yuh Qingcheng was also related to it. Under Yun Long's encouragement, everyone knew that a young man who claimed to have a deep relationship with Yuh Qingcheng had come to the Cloud Heaven Sect. Furthermore, this young man also said that he would make an appearance in competition. He would accept challenges from others.
Although most people only admired Yuh Qingcheng, they knew that it was impossible for them to catch up to her. However, after hearing about this matter, they could not help but become interested. They wanted to see who this young man, who was regarded as the love rival of almost all the male disciples of Cloud Heaven Sect, was.
