The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

Ultimately, the Wuya Sword Sect's alchemy practitioners ranked tenth, but this was still a good result for their sect's nascent alchemy program.

Yuan Youxi felt somewhat guilty, "I shouldn't have handed over the alchemy furnace so easily, otherwise our sect's ranking could have been even higher."

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Yun Fuzhao comforted her. "Even your own mother wouldn't recognize you with that kind of disguise."

Qi Huai: "You've successfully refined the pill. I estimate it to be at least Blue Rank. That's an improvement over last time."

Hearing these words, Yuan Youxi's expression softened a little. "I don't believe it if you come again next time the sect competition is held."

After this incident, the Rong family's forging shop has been cleared of its grievances; it's just a matter of time before it's cleared.

With the alchemy matter over, it's time for the comprehensive competition.

Each sect that makes it to the finals must send five disciples to compete in a free-for-all. This means that all sects will fight against each other, and the last one eliminated will become the champion. And so on.

"The final round is the part I look forward to the most every year; it's truly a battle of the gods."

"What impressed me most were the disciples of the previous Xuantian Sect. Their teamwork was seamless, and their fighting was a pleasure to watch."

“Every disciple of the Xuantian Sect this year is a genius. With Wen Yan, a once-in-a-century prodigy, also present, the number one spot is practically guaranteed.”

"To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to the performance of the Boundless Sword Sect. Along the way, their sect has always managed to impress us."

Some disciples of the Xuantian Sect didn't like to hear this. "The only one who can fight in the Wuyai Sword Sect is Yun Fuzhao. Moreover, most of their current disciples have left, and they're still bringing in the next batch of disciples. These greenhorns who have only been in the sect for a few months, what waves can they make?"

What he said is absolutely true.

Logically speaking, such sect competitions should select disciples who joined the sect at the same time.

However, most of Yun Fuzhao's disciples from this cohort have left, and the new disciples are still very young.

Yun Fuzhao pieced together the numbers from various sources, even taking part in the event himself, to finally gather these ten people.

There were quite a few people who shared the same thoughts as that disciple and were not optimistic about the Boundless Sword Sect.

The five members of the Boundless Sword Sect who appeared were Yun Fuzhao, Shang Jia, Wang Liang, Kang Cheng, Yi Nong, and Fang Wenxia.

The reason Fang Wenxia was chosen instead of Li Hao was because this girl had a sixth-rank double-winged lion-tiger.

This spirit beast possesses the power of ranged attacks.

There are ten sects in the final round, and each of them has a higher cultivation level than the Boundless Sword Sect.

Yun Fuzhao led his disciples onto the stage.

Every year during this chaotic battle, other sects would target the top three sects, hoping to join forces to eliminate them first.

This plan is the same every year, but it has never been successful.

This year is no different; several sects joined forces to attack the Xuantian Sect.

The sects that cooperated clearly excluded the Boundless Sword Sect.

For a moment, the five members of the Boundless Sword Sect seemed a bit superfluous standing in the vast space.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Those five from the Boundless Sword Sect are just like background figures."

"Which sect among them is stronger than the Boundless Sword Sect? I guess they don't want to waste their energy and time dealing with such a sect."

"Don't let the Boundless Sword Sect reap the benefits in the end."

"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad these sects are, they are not inferior to the Boundless Sword Sect."

Shang Jia, holding two large swords, looked completely bewildered. "Sect Master, shall we continue fighting?"

Yun Fuzhao took out a handful of melon seeds. "Since things have come to this, let's have some first."

Everyone: "..."

So you're even eating sunflower seeds now? Are you the audience member or are we the audience member? Huh?

Yu Nian'er, who was being pestered to no end, almost choked when she saw Yun Fuzhao and his group looking so relaxed.

So next, she deliberately lured her opponent toward Yun Fuzhao, but the man was incredibly cunning. Every time she tried to move over, they would change locations beforehand.

After all that, Yu Nian'er didn't gain any advantage and ended up with a small wound on her own body.

"..."

"Don't say that, Yun Fuzhao is a real dog."

"I give up. Can't you guys target the Boundless Sword Sect too? Are you just going to let them have it so easy?"

These words had an effect. Seeing that they could not gain the upper hand, one of the sects on the stage turned around and charged towards the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect.

Seeing this, Yun Fuzhao clapped his hands and said to the group, "Form ranks."

The group responded and followed Yun Fuzhao in doing a set of radio calisthenics.

"?"

"I'm about to laugh myself to death, what the hell is this?!"

"Maybe, perhaps, maybe it's Zongcao?"

"Whose family is like this, a respectable one?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a hemispherical barrier formed above Yun Fuzhao and the others, completely enveloping them.

Yun Fuzhao originally thought that they would be targeted once they took the stage, so he learned the defensive techniques of the Formless Technique early on, all for this moment.

With a "bang," the disciple who was attacking them was bounced back several meters.

"what?"

Yun Fuzhao took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket and distributed them to the children. "Let's continue."

The disciples outside the barrier tried all sorts of methods, but they just couldn't break through this damned thing.

After their efforts proved fruitless, they reluctantly joined the fight on the other side.

Xie Wan glanced at Yun Fuzhao and smiled, "You're doing pretty well."

Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Come in and have some peanuts if you're tired from fighting."

The other disciples of Lingyue Sect sneered, "Our senior sister isn't stupid. She wouldn't go in and let you gang up on her—"

Before they could finish speaking, they saw their usually mature, steady, and capable senior sister go inside!

Xie Wan peeled a peanut for herself and popped it into her mouth. "Hmm, it's boiled."

"That must be true."

The crowd below: "..."

Their silence was deafening.

Soon, the bottom five were eliminated, and the Hehuan Sect, seeing that their sect was ranked fifth, simply withdrew.

Their sect is known for its Buddhist-like attitude; they just coast through these competitions.

[Yun Family Brigade 2, Hong Ziqing: As expected of our sect, after all these years, it's still the same deadbeat.]

[Haha, that's great. This kind of calm and composed nature is the key to great things.]

Only four sects remained on the stage: Xuantian Sect, Lingyue Sect, Wanshou Valley, and Wuya Sword Sect.

Seeing his cousin so relaxed, Qiu Su was immediately furious. "Fang Wenxia! Come out and compete right now!"

Fang Wenxia was startled by his shout and subconsciously looked at Yun Fuzhao.

Seeing that the idle talk had been enough, Yun Fuzhao stood up first, "Alright, let's eat and drink our fill and get to work."

She took out the Wuji sword and said to Xie Wan, "Would you like to cooperate with us?"

The Lingyue Sect disciple scoffed, "Dream on! How could our sect possibly—"

Xie Wan: "Okay."

"Senior sister??"

Xie Wan: "Shh, just listen to me."

Since they are cooperating, Xuantian Sect and Wanshou Valley will also cooperate.
