The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

"They're just children. They're just playing around and throwing tantrums. Please don't get angry, Master Wu!"

The Supreme Elder of the Huashan Sect and the Sect Leader of the Hunyuan Sect also stepped forward, laughing and offering their advice.

"That's fine!"

Wu Yuanshan said calmly, his expression returning to normal.

"Are you just going to let them go so easily?"

Elder Niu and the others behind Wu Yuanshan looked on in astonishment.

Wu Xuemei was publicly humiliated, which was a direct slap in the face to the Qingyuan Sect.

Just now, they were all ready to fight a big battle. As long as Wu Yuanshan gave the order, they would all rush over.

It's just a small Star Palace; we can take it down.

To everyone's surprise, the usually assertive Wu Yuanshan swallowed his anger, leaving everyone puzzled.

"Elder Bao, what are you waiting for? Quickly announce the start of the competition!"

Just then, Xingchen Daoren shouted again.

"The Star Palace Outer Disciple Newcomer Competition in March shall now begin."

As a loud voice rang out, a person appeared in the sky above the square.

It was Elder Bao, the head of the outer sect.

He waved his hands incessantly, striking towards the square.

In the blink of an eye, a series of loud cracking sounds rang out from the center, and large platforms rose up, emitting a faint light from all sides, forming a protective shield.

Upon seeing this, everyone understood that this was the arena.

There are ten in total.

Elder Bao swayed and stood on the center of the arena.

"The rules for this competition remain the same: draw lots to determine the groups, winners advance, losers are eliminated. It's all about winning and losing, not about life and death. Anyone who violates these rules will be expelled from the sect!"

"This year we have 480 new disciples, divided into 10 groups of 48 each. The top five from each group will be selected!"

"The first day is the group stage, and the second day is the ranking stage."

Among the top ten in the ranking competition, those who have reached the third level of Qi Refining will directly enter the inner sect.

Those who haven't reached the third level of Qi Refining will receive different rewards from the sect according to their ranking.

"The draw shall now begin!"

After Elder Bao finished explaining the rules, he waved his hand, and a huge box appeared below the arena.

That's the box for drawing lots.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, God bless me, let me draw a very auspicious fortune!"

All the participating disciples rushed forward in a swarm, as if whoever could grab it first would draw the best lot!

Shen Rugo shook her head as she watched everyone squeeze forward.

Everyone has it, why fight over it?

"I'm in the first group!"

"I'm in group three!"

"I'm in group five!"

……

"Hopefully, our group won't have Senior Brother Zhao Dayou or Senior Brother Qian Youdao, and we definitely won't run into Senior Brother Zhang Shiduo!"

All the disciples who drew lots shouted excitedly once again.

In just a few breaths, almost everyone had drawn a lot, and in the end, only Zhang Shiduo, Zhao Dayou, Qian Youdao, and Shen Rugo remained.

"Shen Rugo, are you scared? You don't dare to draw lots?"

Qian Youdao glared at Shen Rugo and laughed loudly.

He always felt that he had suffered a great loss by spending 40,000 low-grade spirit stones to challenge Shen Rugo.

Shen Rugo glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, slowly walked forward, casually picked up a note, and left.

Which group are you in?

Qian Youdao's face flushed red instantly, and he shouted again.

"Are you so nervous because you're afraid of being in the same group as me?"

Shen Rugo couldn't help but smile, then casually tore the note to shreds and threw it away.

"You, you actually tore up the lot you drew without even looking at it! Is this a blatant disregard for the rules of our Star Palace?"

Qian Youdao immediately barked excitedly, like a dog smelling a bone.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Rugo ignored her and walked straight towards the fifth arena.

"That guy is so ignorant! Of course, he saw it before tearing it up!"

"With such a mindset, someone with only a top-grade single spiritual root is bound to go nowhere!"

Countless cultivators couldn't help but laugh.

Qian Youdao's face turned even redder, and he pointed at Shen Rugo's back, speechless for a moment.

As the draw concluded, Daoist Xingchen suddenly appeared above the arena, laughing loudly:

"I never expected our Star Palace's new disciples to be so outstanding. Everyone has been able to draw in Qi, and six of them are even above the third level of Qi Refining. This is truly a cause for celebration! I wish all the disciples the best of luck in achieving great results!"

"However, this year is special because the bet between Zhang Shiduo and Shen Rugo has attracted countless fellow Daoists to come and watch."

To make their bet more mysterious and interesting, and to ensure all fellow cultivators have a worthwhile trip, Zhang Shiduo and Shen Rugo will skip the group stage and directly participate in tomorrow's challenge match!

Before the Starry Sky Daoist could finish speaking, someone shouted,

"If they don't participate, how can we know their fighting level, and how can we know who to bet on?"

This is based on someone's opinion.

"My friend, the games we at Star Palace play are all about excitement, thrills, and unpredictability."

What's the point if you already know who will win or lose?

Daoist Xingchen shook his head and smiled.
