Chapter 521 - 226: All Villains? Good Relations!
After escaping from the hands of the Female Sect Leader, Yuchi recalled the news he had just received from the organizers. Judging from the current situation, the first disciple of Ascension Gate won all three battles, which seemed impressive to others, even a bit exaggerated.
But what’s the real situation?
In reality, numerous sects came to participate in this Immortal Gate Tournament. With Ascension Gate’s current performance, its ranking is only 129th, not even in the top 100. Does this mean the surrounding people are all barbaric? Is this the first day of the competition, and they’re already going all out? Or is it because the sect disciples are numerous and very talented?
"Not sure, but in any case, this is a good thing for Ascension Gate. After all, it’s their first time stepping out to see the world. It’s impossible for a child just learning to walk to directly clash with seasoned masters.
This time, if they can quietly achieve great success, that would be the best result."
"As for reputation? That should be considered a hundred years from now. When Ascension Gate has developed, then they can be a bit arrogant. Otherwise, without confidence, they will always be hammered down by these big sects, which isn’t pleasant."
"Take it slowly. At least for now, things are looking good for Ascension Gate."
Moreover, there are many disciples. Yuchi went out once, and during that time, he encountered countless disciples wanting to join Ascension Gate. If it was when he first took over Ascension Gate, he might have been extremely excited and thought he was going to soar high.
But now, he is quite calm. He wouldn’t casually accept disciples now.
First, the talent is average.
Second, for these random disciples, he doesn’t know their character or if they have any enemies.
Third, he’s not running a charity; only those who catch his eye would be considered.
Fourth, for the sect’s peace, Ascension Gate is currently only recruiting female disciples.
Considering all factors, unless he truly sees a promising disciple, he would not casually recruit a hundred or eighty disciples; it’s pointless.
...
"Tomorrow is my competition day, and I’m still a bit scared."
In the residence.
Xu Feiling munched on the small fruits in front of her, her brows furrowing involuntarily.
This was mainly because her Senior Sister performed too well. Winning every day for three consecutive days of competition, who knows what kind of result she will have tomorrow, facing three matches at once!
If her Senior Sister messes up, then there’s no issue. Even if she loses all three matches tomorrow, it would be understandable, as it is three matches consecutively.
But her Senior Sister won three consecutive matches, causing Ascension Gate’s rank to be quite decent. Not top-ranked but at least in the first tier. Thus, if she messes up three times consecutively...
"Pff! I might as well explode on the spot." Xu Feiling wiped the bloodstains from her mouth that almost spilled out.
"Wasn’t it your own choice? You said three consecutive matches to test how much pressure you can bear." Shen Qinghan teased, her eyes showing a sly glint.
She had completed her mission and now enjoyed her meals with great satisfaction.
"I... I just wanted to show off a bit in front of Sect Leader Senior Brother, to show him that Xu Feiling isn’t just some idle person, but has ambition. So I came up with this idea. Who could have thought Senior Sister was so amazing, like a war goddess, winning all three days?"
She sighed after speaking:
"Ah, winning just one match would be good, giving me a step to step down."
All the female disciples: "..."
Hahaha, thinking about it, if the Second Senior Sister loses all three matches tomorrow, even if the Sect Leader Senior Brother says nothing, her mentality will definitely crumble. Her talent is greater than Senior Sister’s, and her cultivation surpassed Senior Sister’s before. So if she loses all three matches, she’ll probably be depressed for a while.
"No choice, it’s all your own doing, hahahaha." Shen Qinghan laughed heartlessly.
Xu Feiling looked at Shen Qinghan with grievance, "It’s just to show off a bit in front of Sect Leader Senior Brother. I don’t believe the four present don’t care about their standing in Sect Leader Senior Brother’s eyes."
All the female disciples fell silent again.
Don’t care?
Certainly care. Who is most important in Ascension Gate? Definitely Sect Leader Senior Brother.
Now with Sect Leader Senior Brother not around, they can speak freely. Otherwise, who among them doesn’t deeply care about Sect Leader Senior Brother?
It’s common human emotion.
And speaking of this, Xu Feiling suddenly asked, "Aren’t you curious why Sect Leader Senior Brother treats us so well, Senior Sisters, Junior Sisters?"
A few shook their heads, not knowing.
"It’s like this! I think Sect Leader Senior Brother should be more fierce with us!"
"We’ve been on Immortal Island for four days already and have seen many disciples. The relationship between these disciples and their Sect Leader isn’t especially good, just subordinate, as these Sect Leaders directly control their elixirs."
