Chapter 531 - 227: The Gentleness of a Woman! Consecutive Failures! (Dear Readers, Please Support)_5
"Hmm, your disciple already performed very well, we could see that. It’s really just a matter of facing a disciple from the Great New Sect, nothing can be done about it. They had prepared a cultivation technique, while we generally don’t let disciples learn techniques at the Qi Cultivation Realm. A loss is a loss, but thirty-three years from now, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
This Sect Leader was a stranger, yet they proactively came over to comfort Yuchi.
What they said wasn’t false; it was indeed because they faced a disciple from the Great New Sect. Against any regular sect, with the resilience Feiling showed, they would have already won, not to mention dodging for so long and managing to hold up physically. It’s important to know Feiling was facing a cultivator in battle for the first time.
As for why the Sect Leader would comfort Yuchi proactively?
Because she was a woman... a female Sect Leader, smiling brightly, looking at Yuchi with simple and honest eyes, seemingly wanting to enjoy happiness with Yuchi together, which made Song Yinghan in the distance stomp their foot.
Secretly thinking that this female Sect Leader really isn’t upholding the virtues of a married woman!
...
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, I lost."
Xu Feiling lowered her head dejectedly as she descended, feeling miserable. Her head was spinning, the Great New Sect disciple’s intimidation was truly terrifying, and their finger technique was incredibly powerful, perhaps even capable of poking a small hole straight through a tree. She had done her best, but despite having spiritual qi, all she could do was cause a spiritual energy burst, which was useless.
The spiritual energy burst in terms of both range and power was vastly different from such specialized combat techniques, utterly incomparable.
Alas.
Lost the first match already, really embarrassed.
"No worries."
Yuchi smiled, comforting her, placing an elixir in Feiling’s hand: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, and there’s still thirty-three years ahead. If you encounter them again in the future, just fight again. Can something like this possibly affect your whole life? Could it make me, as the Sect Leader, ignore you all?"
The Sect Leader really knows how to console people! The other disciples from Ascension Gate also felt warm hearing this. Indeed... a loss is a loss. There are wins and losses; how could there possibly be someone who never loses a match?
"Second Junior Sister! This time you went up and fought them. Even if it had been me, I couldn’t have won either. That guy was so fast, how could anyone defeat such a basic display of overpowering strength!"
Little Qinghan took this moment to invoke her status as the eldest senior sister; there was some flair in how she spoke.
"Next time for sure!"
Surely can do it next time, how could there always be opponents from the Great New Sect?
That’s unimaginable.
In three matches, surely not all of them can be upsets, right? That kind of luck is really beyond words.
"Second Senior Sister, victory and defeat are common in military affairs; no one can say they’ve never lost. We wouldn’t just start mocking you for losing a match. We’re disciples of Sect Leader Senior Brother, not some wild ones." Feng Dongran seriously added.
Indeed, Wei Qingzhu’s voice came at the right time: "Don’t worry about it."
"Keep it up, next match will surely bring good luck."
"You’ll definitely make it!"
...
Afternoon.
"Waaaaah!"
In the residence, a few people sat gloomily, heads lowered, drinking tea silently.
Poisonous milk, after all, it really is poisonous milk.
Xu Feiling’s first match was against the Great New Sect disciple, the second match against someone from the Purple Gold Sect, and the third match was against last time’s first-place finisher, from some Legendary Sect.
In the first match against the Great New Sect disciple, at least she managed to hold on for a while.
In the second match came an even tougher opponent, and because of the grudge between the Purple Gold Sect and the Great New Sect, the Purple Gold Sect disciple came with an agenda. If it took a dozen breaths for the Great New Sect disciple to defeat Xu Feiling, then the Purple Gold Sect would have to instantly crush her, to show that the Great New Sect was just a lousy sect that poached talent!
Therefore, the Purple Gold Sect disciple in the second match was even more terrifying, started off by popping pills, and unleashed all sorts of explosive skills, so the match had just started, and Xu Feiling was already gone before she even had time to react.
As for the third match... that Legendary Sect, their name sounds somewhat pretentious, but they were fierce like mad dogs, clearly just there to rack up points. Their skills were obviously prepared, and they looked at Xu Feiling once, and she had no clue what happened when she fell off the platform. The opponent then turned and left without a cloud in the sky.
She was outright knocked out by just a gaze...
"The Great New Sect and Purple Gold Sect’s weaklings are nothing, can my Legendary Sect not outperform them? Instant, instant!"
So today, Xu Feiling became famous, a disciple from some unknown small sect, competed three times in one day, consecutively encountering the Great New Sect, then got exhausted by the Purple Gold Sect, and finally was caught by the Legendary Sect.
How unbelievably bad is this luck!
My heavens.
How unbelievably bad is this luck!
Even the organizers couldn’t bear to watch anymore and came to deliver some oranges.
The organizers’ message was simple:
We really, really, really didn’t do this on purpose, everything was random, we honestly didn’t intentionally make things difficult for Ascension Gate, nor purposely pit Xu Feiling against three strong opponents, each tougher than the last. You must trust us, we would never do such a thing!
