Chapter 145 Draw Lots
"Hehe, looks like there are quite a few old rivals here!"
Upon reaching to the left side of the main arena, Yun Xiao looked over the approximately hundred participants and muttered to himself since he noticed many among them held grudges against him.
Besides Feng Hang, Shen Xiao, and Guan Tong, those who were enthusiastic about participating in the Outer Sect’s grand competition were mostly long-time geniuses who had joined the Jade Pot Sect’s Outer Sect for either three or six years. Their Meridian Qi Cultivation was also mostly in the Late Stage and Peak of Meridian Gathering Realm.
However, as Yun Xiao scanned the crowd, he noticed that the Third Prince of Xuanyue Empire, Xuan Zhi, was also present. Nevertheless, since he had already made a breakthrough to the Late Stage of Meridian Gathering Realm, his participation in this Outer Sect’s grand competition was justifiable.
But in a blink, Yun Xiao was surprised to see Zhao Ningshu of the Zhao Family and Cao Luo of the Cao Family standing nonchalantly at a spot, each wearing a trace of excitement on their faces.
"No wonder, they have broken through to the Middle Stage of Meridian Gathering Realm!"
When Yun Xiao sensed their slightly overflowing Meridian Qi with the Power of Soul, he suddenly realized. It seems that within these ten days, both Zhao Ningshu and Cao Luo had made their respective breakthroughs, reaching the Middle Stage of Meridian Gathering Realm.
Of course, Yun Xiao’s opponents were no longer these freshly joined talented cultivators from the Outer Sect, but the experienced disciples from the Outer Sect, even those ruthless figures ranked within the top five on the Mortal List.
However, from outsiders’ perspective, Yun Xiao’s Late Stage cultivation of Meridian Gathering Realm seemed mostly unlikely to stand out among these talented cultivators from the Outer Sect, as in their subconscious, the Meridian Qi Cultivation decided everything.
Even those like Feng Hang, Shen Xiao, and Guan Tong, who had previously fought with Yun Xiao, never really considered him as an opponent, because in the past few instances, Yun Xiao either resorted to cunning schemes or relied on external forces, his own strength was never fully demonstrated.
