Quick Wear Beauty

After obtaining the qualification to advance, she won her prize at the gambling arena set up by the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Unfortunately, the odds were not high, but it was still not bad, as it was an unexpected windfall.

She didn't linger and went straight back to her rented Jinglu, a small, detached house. It wasn't very big, but it was very quiet. The spiritual flowers and herbs inside weren't valuable, but they were quite pretty.

She paid ten days' rent, and the Golden Feather Secret Realm would open in ten days.

The next day will feature two matches, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. More than 40 people will be eliminated in the morning, and more than 20 people will be eliminated in the afternoon. The remaining 20 people can advance to the finals.

The next morning, she went to the square to draw lots.

In the next two matches, Li Guang didn't expend much energy.

When facing a female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, who was skilled in using poison, she deliberately allowed herself to be "forced" to the edge of the arena. Just as her opponent thought victory was assured and was about to kick her off, a thin layer of ice suddenly formed beneath the female cultivator's feet. Unable to dodge in time, the female cultivator slipped and fell out of bounds.

Well, at least in the audience's eyes, it was the female cultivator who couldn't withstand the force and fell off the stage...

The odds for that match were 3 to 7, and many people bet on the female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Li Guang made a small profit.

In the afternoon's arena match, the sword cultivator she faced was also at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The swordsman's longsword was like a white snake spitting its tongue, each move aimed straight for vital points, and the sharp sound of sword energy cutting through the air echoed in the arena.

Li Guang never directly confronted the sword's attack; her figure always managed to dodge at the last second. Every step she took was precisely in the gap between sword moves. Her skirt fluttered in the wind as the sword energy swept through it, yet not even the hem of her clothes was torn.

After thirty moves, the swordsman's forehead was covered in sweat, and his moves were gradually revealing flaws. He gritted his teeth and suddenly changed his sword style, drawing out three sword flowers with his longsword, which he then used to cover the major acupoints around Li Guang's body.

The crowd in the stands held their breath; this move was extremely fast, and it would be difficult for cultivators of the same level to dodge it all!

As if she had anticipated this, Li Guang advanced instead of retreating, using the Entangling Branch Technique to bind the sword cultivator.

"You!" The swordsman tried to sheathe his sword and retreat, but felt his whole body being bound by a gentle yet extremely strong force.

As Li Guang unleashed a palm strike, the sword cultivator felt a tightness in his chest, his spiritual energy reversed, and he involuntarily staggered half a step.

Just that half step! His foot crossed the white mark at the edge of the ring.

"Number 73 (C) wins! Advances to the finals!"

As the deacon's voice faded, the swordsman snapped back to reality, his face turning pale and then flushed. Finally, he sheathed his sword and stepped off the stage with a cold expression.

The final on the third day has a more complex format.

The twenty people were divided into five groups of four. Within each group, matches were played between pairs of players, using a lottery system.

The two winners from each group will then compete against each other to determine the final winner. The winner of each group will directly qualify for a spot in the top ten, thus giving a total of five people from the five groups the opportunity to qualify for the top ten.

There are still five spots left, so a selection process will be held among the remaining fifteen people. There are five arenas where participants can freely defend their positions. The last person standing within the allotted time will be the winner, and this will determine the remaining five spots.

The ten people who successfully win will automatically qualify for the Golden Feather Secret Realm.

But that's not all. There's another challenge to determine the top three, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance has also given out generous rewards to the top three.

The first-place winner can even become the disciple of Shi Cangye, the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

The presence of a powerful cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage is quite attractive to independent Qi Refining cultivators. At least several cultivators have come specifically for the title of becoming the first to become their disciple.

There is an element of luck in drawing lots; for example, Li Guang's opponent was a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

The other two cultivators in the same group were at the eleventh and twelfth levels of Qi Refining, respectively. They fought, and the cultivator at the eleventh level narrowly won because of the higher grade of his whip.

The cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining who fought against Li Guang was a well-known rogue cultivator in Xuan Yan City. He was skilled in earth-based defensive techniques and was said to be able to withstand a blow from an early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Attack me however you like. If you can break through my defenses, I'll admit defeat!" the cultivator said, as earthen-yellow spiritual energy surged around him, transforming into a thick earthen wall that protected him in the center.

The onlookers murmured among themselves, "Number 73 is definitely going to lose this time. That earthen wall can't even be broken by magic weapons! It's going to be tough without being able to use talismans or formations!"
