Atop the main peak of Qingyun Mountain, all was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at Chu Luobai, who stood proudly with his hands behind his back on the arena, and fell silent.

Although Wu Gan only had the cultivation level of the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, he was not someone who could be killed in one move.

But now, he has been blasted off the dueling platform by Chu Luobai in a single move.

In fact, Chu Luobai didn't even sway his body once from beginning to end!

With just his spiritual power, he was completely powerless to fight back!

"Senior Sister Chu is too strong!"

"No wonder she's so wary of her. I don't think Senior Brother Xiao Xuancheng would necessarily win if he fought her now."

"Oh no, I've staked all my spirit stones on Senior Brother Xiao..."

"This is only the first match, there are still many variables. What if we run out of spiritual energy by the end?"

The disciples below were discussing, while on the platform, Elder Liu, Wu Gan's master and the person in charge of this sect competition, had a flushed face.

Including him, the elders centered around Gao Hong all looked at Elder Liu with some sympathy.

Wu Gan's failure was expected.

He was merely a pawn used to deplete Chu Luobai's spiritual power; no one expected him to defeat Chu Luobai.

only...

He didn't even touch the hem of Chu Luobai's clothes.

That was such an ugly loss!

Elder Liu felt that he had completely lost face within the sect.

Chu Luobai stood on the arena, lazily raising her head, and met Gao Hong's cold gaze.

"Elder Liu, have you been too busy with the sect competition lately? You can't even stop your own disciples from slacking off."

Chu Luobai didn't care what Gao Hong was thinking at the moment. He just smiled slightly and spoke loudly to Elder Liu, whose face was flushed.

"puff."

Zhao Yushi couldn't help but laugh out loud as he listened.

Chu Luobai really is exactly like her master when he was young.

"Chu..."

Gao Hong was about to speak when Zhao Yushi reacted even faster.

"Chu Luobai! This is a sect competition, don't be so unruly. Hurry up and get down after you're done fighting!"

The gloating smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a very serious expression.

Chu Luobai readily agreed, apologized, and gracefully stepped down from the dueling platform.

Gao Hong watched this scene, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, unable to come out no matter what he did.

In the end, he could only look coldly at Zhao Yushi, his eyes seeming to be a warning.

Zhao Yushi ignored him and just chatted with the elders around him with a smile.

"Senior sister!"

As soon as Chu Luobai stepped off the stage, Qiu Lin rushed to greet her.

"Senior sister, you've become much stronger during your seclusion."

"It has indeed become a little stronger."

Chu Luobai smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping across the stage.

Her fight was scheduled for last, and now on the fighting stage, people were already calling for the second round to continue.

The schedule in the air has also shown new changes.

"Meng Min?"

Chu Luobai's gaze lingered on the name that was listed alongside his own.

“Meng Min, an elite disciple of Kumu Peak, has a cultivation level at the peak of the Refinement Void Realm. He usually stays at the foot of the mountain and returned before the sect's grand competition.”

Qiu Lin told Chu Luobai the information he had learned in advance.

"To know so much detail, it must have taken a lot of effort."

Chu Luobai reached out and patted Qiu Lin on the shoulder.

"It's nothing serious. My cultivation level isn't high, so all I can do to help my senior sister are these trivial matters."

Qiu Lin scratched his head, a hint of guilt appearing on his face.

"By the way, Senior Sister, after the first match, apart from Xiao Xuancheng, who was the champion of the last sect competition and directly skipped to the finals, there are a total of 128 disciples left."

"If we make it to the finals, you'll need to play a total of seven matches, and then you'll have to challenge Xiao Xuancheng alone at the end."

"In these seven matches, you faced elite disciples from other peaks..."

Qiu Linyue's tone became increasingly heavy as he spoke.

After fighting seven matches in a day, the energy expenditure increases and the pace of the battle accelerates as the fight progresses.

He dared not imagine what it would be like if Chu Luobai and those elite disciples were to fight until their spiritual energy was depleted, and then encountered Xiao Xuancheng again.

"I see. Thank you for investigating so much for me, even though you were also going to participate in the sect competition yourself."

"However, as I said before, there's no need to worry about me being your senior sister."

The seven elite disciples all possessed cultivation levels above the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Some have even entered the path of harmony.

Gao Hong really went all out this time, making the elders call out their precious disciples to be beaten.

Chu Luobai frowned, sighing inwardly.

At the same time, her name was called again from the stage.

"Round 2, Match 60: Xiaoyao Peak Chu Luobai vs. Kumu Peak Meng Min!"

Upon hearing the names of the two opposing sides, the disciples below immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"Meng Min? Another elite disciple?"

"Wu Gan, who just lost to Chu Luobai, was an elite disciple, right? And now there's another one?"

"What kind of arrangement is this? The elite disciples have already run into each other twice in the first two rounds of the competition."

"So many elite disciples in the second round, are they deliberately not giving other disciples a chance...?"

"What are you thinking? This is clearly targeting Chu Luobai!"

In the past, when arranging opponents for the sect competition, in order to avoid elite disciples suppressing promising talents too early.

They would all choose to let these elite disciples skip a few rounds.

Alternatively, these elite disciples could simply wait until the final 32 or 16 teams are decided before entering the arena.

This time there were 128 people, which meant that all the elite disciples were allowed to enter!

Moreover, the situation of Chu Luobai being ranked as an elite disciple twice in a row is unprecedented.

The disciples in the sect may have low cultivation levels, but they are not fools.

The reason these elite disciples entered was, frankly speaking, to deceive others.

This will make it more 'reasonable' for Chu Luobai to encounter elite disciples and be forced into fierce battles every time!

Amidst the sympathetic or admiring gazes of his many disciples, Chu Luobai slowly walked onto the stage.

Meng Min's serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, made Chu Luobai want to laugh.

How come she never noticed before that some of the elite disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect had such a poor mentality?

The fight hasn't even started yet, and they're already this nervous.

Chu Luobai's spiritual energy circulated around him, and amidst the swirling clouds and mist, his sword aura was sharp and fierce.

"The competition begins!"

Like Wu Gan, Meng Min chose to launch a rapid attack in hopes of gaining a chance of victory.

However, before he could even get close, he was suppressed by an extremely powerful sword aura and could not advance an inch.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Meng Min's mouth, and then everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Elder Xu, your disciple's attitude is not right."

Chu Luobai smiled and called out in the direction of Gao Hong.

Elder Xu, standing beside Gao Hong, had the same flushed face as Elder Liu before him.

He had previously mocked other people's disciples for being incompetent, saying they couldn't even withstand a single move from Chu Luobai.

Now that he has switched to his own disciples, things haven't improved much.

"This is the disciple you've been so precious to, unwilling to let go of?"

Gao Hong coldly glanced at the elders beside him, and for a moment everyone fell silent, not daring to speak.

"Chu Luobai, you better not run into me later."

On the next fighting stage, after Zhao Jingren blasted his opponent off the stage with a single palm strike, he spoke to Chu Luobai.

"What, you've only just entered the Dao Integration stage and you already want to challenge me?"

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow, startled by the Dao Integration aura emanating from Zhao Jingren.

Was Zhao Jingren's promotion speed this fast in his previous life?
