All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

She looked toward the location of the two auras, but the distance was too far to see clearly what was happening on the other side, and she dared not rashly use her divine sense to investigate.

She turned her head to one side and asked Da Niu, "Second Senior Sister, who are those people over there?"

Da Niu looked in the direction he was pointing and smiled, "That's the Xuan Shuang Sect, also one of the top ten forces, not much different from our Wan Jian Sect."

Feng Ning nodded, then pointed to the other side, "What about over there?"

Da Niu looked again, then curled his lip, "That's the Crimson Flame Sect. You mustn't associate with those people; they're the worst."

Feng Ning nodded calmly and looked to both sides.

She had only been here a short time and had not met anyone from the Xuan Shuang Sect or the Chi Yan Sect, so why did she feel that there were two very familiar auras over there?

But she felt uncomfortable if she didn't figure it out.

She silently released two strands of her black hair, which went in opposite directions.

As Qing Si approached, she suddenly froze.

Black hair!

Those two familiar scents were from her black hair!

She quickly retracted the two strands of hair she had just let out and didn't check them again.

She casually observed her surroundings and, sure enough, noticed some divine senses sweeping towards them.

She immediately became alert.

Could it be that someone discovered the black hair? That shouldn't be the case.

This is a dark spiritual root, combined with the Netherworld Ghost Manual to create the green silk. It has now been cultivated to the great perfection level. Even Elder Zuo did not notice it. How could anyone have discovered it?

She glanced at the sect leader sitting in front, but Sect Leader Qin didn't notice her either.

So who was it just now?

She dared not think any further, because she suddenly realized that even if she figured it out, it wouldn't make any difference.

If this person can discover something that even Sect Master Qin couldn't, it means that his strength is even greater than Sect Master Qin's.

She's just an ordinary example now, and she's not qualified to be compared to them at all.

She can only lie low for the time being.

As for the person opposite Qing Si... she released a lot of Qing Si.

It's either on one's own friends or on one's own enemies.

Therefore, those two auras are either from friends or enemies.

Since they are acquaintances, we will run into each other eventually.

Thinking of this, she suppressed her emotions.

But she didn't expect the reunion to come so soon.

Just as everyone was pondering, a person in charge went up to the stage.

He went on and on about the rules of the competition.

Feng Ning listened for a while, and it was basically about the rules of the Deer Contest.

For example, the Deer Contest is divided into five tracks, corresponding to sword cultivators, beast tamers, alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman masters, and formation masters.

Alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman masters, and formation masters all compete according to their respective ranks.

The ranks are divided into nine levels, and this competition is rather general.

Each sect selects ten people to participate in the competition, with no restrictions on rank; the higher the ranking, the better.

Of course, in such a competition, no one would dare to bring out someone of the third or fourth rank to embarrass themselves; naturally, the higher the rank, the better, and everyone racked their brains to participate.

In the end, a ranking will still be determined. There are many forces in the entire Cangnan Continent, and when eliminating them, the ranking will be based on ability, not on the number of people.

It's not about how many times you advance, but about how many times you can advance.

It's rather cruel, but also rather fair.

Those with ability will naturally have the last laugh, while those without ability will be unable to advance any further.

Compared to the complexity of these competitions, the competition between sword cultivators and beast tamers is much simpler.

They fight cleanly and decisively; whoever wins keeps the victory, and in the arena, no one is allowed to intentionally cause death.

The two fight until one of them concedes defeat or is unable to get up again.

To prevent viewers from getting bored, the competitions were conducted in shifts.

For example, the first day would be a pill-refining competition, the second day would be a fighting competition, and the third day would be a weapon-refining competition.

Every day is different.

Then they announced the start of the first match.

To ignite everyone's passion, the first event was a fighting match.

Fighting competitions are different from others.

They were competing according to their cultivation levels: Golden Core cultivators versus Golden Core cultivators, and Nascent Soul cultivators versus Nascent Soul cultivators.

People at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation stages all fight in teams.

There aren't many disciples at the Void Refinement stage to begin with; they are all geniuses from their respective sects, and these are all individual battles.

There are approximately two hundred forces of varying sizes across the entire Cangnan Continent, and each force has many subordinate cities.

The competition was quite time-consuming and laborious.

However, the competition was not taken lightly. In order to ensure that the participants could still be in high spirits for the later competitions, the more intense the competitions were placed later.

The first match was between Golden Core cultivators.

There are ten large battle stages in the arena.

It can accommodate twenty teams at a time, and the competition can be completed in ten rounds.

The Golden Core stage competition is relatively simple, and it attracts the most participants.

After a morning, the first round of the competition was only halfway through.

The Golden Core stage competition ended in the afternoon.

In the end, one hundred teams remained.

The next day was the alchemist competition.

Within one hour, refine a fourth-order Marrow Cleansing Pill, and advance to the next level based on success or failure.

There were more than a thousand participants in the alchemist competition. Fortunately, alchemy does not require a large venue.

Each person is separated from the others according to their location. All the items are provided by the central domain, including the alchemy furnace and medicinal herbs, and everyone receives the same things.

During the competition, they would also use a barrier to separate them to prevent them from interfering with other people's competition.

The first round of competition has ended, and more than 800 people have passed.

On the third day, the combat category, the Golden Core stage competition, was held, with fifty teams remaining.

On the fourth day, a weapon-forging competition was held, with over seven hundred people remaining.

……

The competition continued day by day.

After more than half a month, the initial screening stage has passed, and we have entered the intermediate stage.

By this time, the combat-based competition had progressed to the round of 50 to 25.

The remaining competitions have reached their most crucial stage, eliminating one-tenth of the participants.

Today's competition is to determine the top twenty-five in the combat category.

The written test for the Golden Core stage wasn't too difficult, and the Myriad Swords Sect undoubtedly made it into the top twenty-five.

However, during the Nascent Soul competition, a sudden change occurred.

One of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was accidentally seriously injured.

This person was part of the main offensive force and was caught off guard by the opposing beast tamer.

After leaving the field, he didn't even know how his opponent had made their move.

The spirit beast that everyone saw looked harmless; it was just a very cute little fox.

Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect won, the loss of such a key player makes the upcoming matches even more dangerous.
