After resting for a short while, Chen An woke up gasping for breath.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Fugui lying on her chest, looking at her with a suspicious expression.

"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Look at you, you're so big now, how can I bear it when you're lying on top of me?"

"Meow."

Patting the kitten's head, Chen An silently murmured, "Succulent."

The system is now ready.

"Can I put the reward I received directly into my storage bag?"

【Sure, darling, would you like to confirm receipt?】

"confirm."

Feeling that the storage bags around him were being filled, Chen An tossed a dozen or so storage bags, each two or three hundred square meters, to Fu Gui. Looking at the pitiful look on the Flying Fish Crocodile's face, he smiled and took out a storage bag and put it around its neck.

Seeing that the flying fish crocodile was still not satisfied, Chen An smiled and squatted down next to it.

"I never promised you three times the amount. Besides, even if I had, do you dare say this one storage bag isn't enough?"

Flying Fish Crocodile thought to itself that it was indeed slow and hadn't found as much as Fu Gui. It was still considered that its master had been good to it, and it excitedly headbutted Chen An.

After being blasted away by Fu Gui, the Flying Fish Crocodile took its storage bag and went to Chen An's bedside.

Fu Gui squatted on Chen An's bed, savoring his spoils. Although he knew that these things were far from three times what he had been promised, they would be enough for him to eat for a while.

Gu Minglang stood downstairs and shouted loudly, "It's time for the martial arts competition!"

Chen An and Xue Shumo rushed out upon hearing the noise. Xue Shumo, who had assumed that Xuan Qingyuan and Si Xun were also there, was somewhat unhappy to see Gu Minglang all alone.

"What do you mean by this? I'm the one who always takes you out to play, why are you turning your back on me?"

"Tch, what do you mean you're taking me out to play? You can't find anyone to play with, so you're only bringing me along. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Gu Minglang was speechless, glancing sideways at Xue Shumo without saying a word.

Chen An was away for the past two days and didn't know where the new students who had just entered the sect were having their martial arts competition. He followed the two of them on his flying fish crocodile.

When they were almost there, Gu Minglang finally spoke up: "Don't be stubborn if you can't beat them. Qingyue is not easy to deal with."

"What level has she reached?" Chen An immediately asked, understanding Gu Minglang's meaning.

Xue Shumo put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm so angry! That guy actually succeeded in opening his meridians. I don't know how he got the chance. Does that kind of scoundrel even deserve it?"

Chen An patted Xue Shumo on the back and silently marveled at the heroine's good luck. Reaching the third stage of Foundation Establishment was something that others thought was impossible.

However, from the time she first entered the sect until now, in a short period of time, Qingyue has broken through two levels, reaching not only the Opening Meridian stage but also the Intermediate Stage.

Upon arriving at the arena, Gu Minglang went to his own fighting spot, which was about two or three hundred meters away.

At the foot of the two mountains, there were familiar faces. As disciples who entered the Zhaoning Sect in the same year, their cultivation levels were not much different, all at the Foundation Establishment and Meridian Opening stages.

Even those who had cultivation before joining the Zhaoning Sect still remained here.

The four cultivators who had reached the intermediate stage of the Meridian Opening Realm stared at Chen An in the crowd. As disciples of Elder Haotian and former good fellow disciples of Qing Yue, they didn't know what had gotten into them, but they always felt that Chen An had orchestrated Qing Yue's trip to the outer sect.

Chen An looked up at the three people. Although she was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, with the boost of her martial power and the large number of array stones, she was not incapable of fighting these arrogant geniuses.

"when!"

The woman in white robes appeared out of nowhere. She lay on a recliner with her eyes half-closed and struck the gong to start the competition.

"Hey kids, I'm in charge of your martial arts competition. Originally, the sect leader wanted you to duel in pairs by drawing lots, but as you can see, I'm too lazy to lie down here. So, start fighting. The last one standing is number one, and so on, that's how the rankings are calculated."

When everyone looked at this unknown and unreliable elder, they were at a loss for words. Chen An, on the other hand, was very interested in this senior sister, especially the abundant spiritual energy she possessed.

"Suffer to death."

Xue Shumo delivered a flying kick, hitting the unprepared Qing Yue. Chen An reacted and rushed to help.

Seeing Qing Yue lying on the ground being beaten, Bai Yuanqi immediately abandoned his alliance with her and turned his attention to Yu Taoming, the winner of the disciple-acceptance ceremony who had achieved the Great Perfection of Meridian Opening.

Yu Taoming had heard a lot about Chen An and Qing Yue, and seeing that Chen An and Xue Shumo showed no signs of stopping, he understood even more what the rumors about long-standing grudges meant.

"Senior brother, I am Bai Yuanqi, son of Su Shengni. If I am fortunate enough to form an alliance with you..."

"Need not."

Yu Taoming was not an unapproachable person, but he disliked people who introduced themselves by their family background. He believed that cultivators should focus on cultivating their minds, and that their fighting ability or ability to refine elixirs was not important.

The most important thing is to believe in yourself. If you feel that you are not good enough, then there is no need for you to practice.

As they were talking, Yu Taoming swiftly swung his sword and knocked down a male cultivator who was trying to ambush Qing Xuan.

Qing Xuan knocked out the person next to him with a single slap, and in the instant he turned his head, he reached a consensus with Yu Taoming.

Seeing his plan fall through, Bai Yuanqi gritted his teeth and reluctantly searched for the next person.

Four disciples, all disciples of Elder Haotian, watched from the corner as Qingyue was beaten, not daring to step forward.

Bai Yuanqi successfully joined them, but as soon as he stood with them, he was struck down by a sword thrusting towards him.

The other four cultivators, unafraid of Bai Yuanqi who had brought them trouble, actively engaged in battle. The four cultivators at the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm fought back and forth with the two cultivators at the high-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.

On the other side, Qingyue was still getting beaten up. Qingyue, who was full of confidence this time, never expected that the elder in charge of these new students could be so irresponsible. Otherwise, even if she was not in the top three, she could have made it into the top five. As long as she made it into the top five, Elder Haotian promised her that he would take her under his wing again.

Just as Qingyue was on the verge of death, Chen An pulled Xue Shumo back in time. It was not impossible to kill Qingyue, but not now. In public, even if he lost the martial arts competition, he would still be branded as someone who slaughtered his fellow disciples.

Chen An wasn't afraid of having a bad reputation; he was afraid that if his reputation was ruined, people would suspect him of other things.

The white-robed elder watched as Chen An and Xue Shumo stopped, and moved the unconscious Qing Yue out of the arena. Qing Yue thus became the last one standing in this martial arts tournament.

Xue Shumo is a restless person. Apart from Chen An, as long as there is someone around her, she must defeat that person, regardless of who they are.

Chen An observed the current situation and found that most people had banded together.

The outer disciples were generally weak, and they gathered in large groups. Elder Haotian's disciples were the most numerous, and they were divided into two or three groups. Except for a dozen or so special figures, everyone chose to form an alliance with their fellow disciples.

Chen An glanced at Xue Shumo, who was charging around blindly, and smiled slightly. He also wanted to accumulate combat experience like Xue Shumo, but the tasks given by the system were just too annoying!

"Fight me."

A gentle female voice smiled and said to Chen An.

Chen An turned around, and behind him was a boy whose appearance was even gentler than his voice. "My name is Wang Xiao, Bibi. If you don't eliminate me, I won't eliminate you either. I've analyzed your confrontation with Qingyue, that green tea bitch, word by word. I admire you. I'll handle things the same way in the future so I won't suffer in silence."

"beat."

Chen An drew his ebony sword and exchanged two or three blows, but was caught off guard by his opponent's immense strength. Fortunately, they had an agreement not to eliminate each other, and after a dozen or so moves, a girl appeared behind Chen An, attempting a sneak attack.

Chen An kicked her in the abdomen, and Wang Xiao disarmed her.

"If I've failed like this, what else can I accomplish?" The girl picked up her sword from the ground and strode over to lie down next to Qingyue.

Chen An looked at this girl who was willing to accept defeat and felt great admiration for her.
