The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Wait a minute, what do you mean this isn't a normal monk?"

[Let me ask you, in your world, is there any monk who drinks alcohol, eats meat, and loves beautiful women?]

"That's normal. Not all monks want to be vegetarian. Some Buddhists practice different paths." Hu Xingtong said that she didn't care. In the novels she had read, such monks were normal. Buddhism cultivates the mind and the Dharma, and does not necessarily require abstaining from food and drink. It depends on the person.

Regardless, this Buddhist disciple came here simply to witness the grand competition in the Eastern Region, and to see what kind of good friend Gu Sihe mentioned. To put it bluntly, this Buddhist disciple had some free time and wanted to go out and have some fun.

Hearing this, Hu Xingtong raised his eyebrows and became more interested.

[It seems that there will be a competition between Gu Sihe and Na Sinan tomorrow. You can go and watch it.]

"Go, but if they have a good relationship, will Sinan give in to Sihe? Besides, Sinan and Sihe are really a good match."

【Knocking on everything will only hurt you. 】

"I don't care. Supporting everything will only give me a balanced diet. And Nan Ling and Xiao Yuheng, one raises a spirit pet and the other likes spirit beasts, they are also a good match. And then there is my junior sister and that Gong Zhejin, one will run away and the other will chase. He runs away and she chases, he can't escape even if he has wings." Hu Xingtong, who was obsessed with supporting the couple, did not notice a figure flashing by the door. Ming Zhiyan hesitated for a long time not far away and finally chose to leave because he didn't want to disturb them.

[Based on the current schedule, you still have five matches left. Among these five, you're most likely to be matched against Ming Zhiyan, which should be your most challenging match. Not long ago, Ming Zhiyan reached the same level as you. If you don't lose the other four matches, then the final match between you and Ming Zhiyan won't matter, as you'll be far ahead.]

Speaking of Ming Zhiyan, Hu Xingtong really wanted to compete with him, not in anything else, but in formations and runes. Hu Xingtong wanted to try whether his attainments in runes and formations were also superior to the technology in this world. If so, he could add runes and formations to expand the popularity of Guxing.

……

The next day, Hu Xingtong arrived at the stands early. There was no competition of Fanyun Sect today, so she was the only one in the rest area of ​​Fanyun Sect. After thinking about it, it turned out to be Gu Sihe's competition, so it would be okay for her to stay over at Yujian Sect. Maybe she could also gain Ye Nanhe's favor.

What Hu Xingtong didn't know was that she didn't need to improve Ye Nanhe's favorability by herself. Every time Gu Sihe thought of her, she would tell Ye Nanhe about it. Over time, Ye Nanhe liked Hu Xingtong even more. In addition, with the swordsmanship that Hu Xingtong displayed in the competition during this period, not only Ye Nanhe wanted to see her, but also the leader and other disciples of the Yu Jian Sect wanted to see her.

When Hu Xingtong walked to the rest area of ​​the Yu Jian Sect, Ye Nanhe was the first to notice her and came forward to greet her enthusiastically: "Xingtong is here, come and sit here." Ye Nanhe pulled Hu Xingtong to the seat next to him. The Yu Jian Sect disciples around them were a little nervous when they saw this person who had recently become famous appear in front of them. When they saw that person sitting in front of them, they speculated about the relationship between her and the senior sister.

Hu Xingtong didn't care about these. She only cared about who was next to Ye Nanhe, because since she came in, that person's eyes had been on her and never moved away.

Perhaps it was because the two people's gazes at each other were too intense, Ye Nanhe realized it belatedly and introduced them to each other: "Xingtong, this is my junior brother, also participating in the competition this year." Seeing Hu Xingtong nod, Ye Nanhe introduced to the person behind him: "Junior brother, this is the little sister from Fanyun Sect I told you about, and she is also Sihe's good friend."

The junior brother nodded upon hearing this and said, "I know. I will have a competition with her the day after tomorrow."

"What a coincidence?" Ye Nanhe had not had time to look at the schedule today, so he picked up the schedule next to him and looked at it carefully.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the junior brother openly extended his hand to Hu Xingtong and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Qing Shimo."

Hu Xingtong was a little surprised by the man's seriousness and extended his hand to shake his. "Hello, hello. My name is Hu Xingtong."

After they introduced each other, nothing happened. It was so awkward that Hu Xingtong felt uncomfortable sitting there.

Fortunately, the competition between the two people on the field also began.

"Gu Sihe of the Sword Controlling Sect versus Sinan of the Zen Sect."

The two on the stage exchanged no pleasantries. Almost as soon as the referee finished speaking, Gu Sihe struck. With a flash of his body, he advanced on Sinan like an arrow, his spear flashing with a cold light. The tip of the spear traced a golden trail through the air, aiming directly at Sinan's vital points. However, Sinan remained calm. He clasped his hands together, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and a Buddha's light radiated from his body, forming a faint, protective golden glow.

"Bang!" The tip of the gun collided with the golden light, making a deafening sound, and the air waves scattered in all directions. Everyone in the stands felt a flash before their eyes and could hardly see the movements of the two people.

Gu Sihe's attack missed, but he wasn't discouraged. He swung his spear, the shadows heavy, each shot imbued with murderous intent, and charged directly at Sinan. Sinan retreated, his body erratic, deftly dodging Gu Sihe's attacks each time. Meanwhile, the Buddhist beads in his hand twirled continuously, and with each rotation, the Buddha's light on his body grew more intense.

"Hah!" Gu Sihe suddenly shouted, and the spear accelerated suddenly. The tip of the spear burst into a dazzling white light, as if to tear the space apart. This shot, with its sharp and dazzling power, made Hu Xingtong in the stands a little frightened.

Hu Xingtong suddenly wanted to compete with Gu Sihe. The surging fighting spirit emanating from Gu Sihe really made Hu Xingtong a little restless. Thinking about it, he had not even competed with so many strong people, but won the championship just by relying on the advantage of points, which was somewhat unworthy of the title.

As he was thinking, his mouth was faster than his brain, and he asked Ye Nanhe, "Sister Ye, are there any designated challenges in the competition?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanhe looked at Hu Xingtong with a strange expression, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Why, who does Xingtong want to challenge?"

Hu Xingtong thought about it and said directly, "I'm just curious. My score is almost 200 points ahead of the second place. Even if I lose a few games, I'll still be first. If that's the case, if someone with average strength but fast speed in the first game had taken the top spot, wouldn't that have been easy? So, I'm curious if there are any countermeasures."

Hearing this, Ye Nanhe smiled and replied, "You've just started, so naturally you don't know. There's a way to solve the problem you mentioned. First of all, the score in the competition is only a criterion for measuring overall ability, not a reference for selecting the champion. After the three normal score competitions, a champion with the highest score will be selected, along with two backup champions with outstanding abilities and lower scores."

"Next comes the random challenge mode. Anyone who is dissatisfied with the three or wants to compete can make their choice. Each person can challenge three people. These three people don't necessarily have to be the three candidates for the championship, but the person being challenged is not specified. The champion of this competition will not be decided until everyone is convinced of the champion's strength."
