Chapter 546 - 230 I’m Sorry to You! How Strong is Sect Leader Senior Brother?_2
The Mortal Realm competition, it’s mostly about luck, with skill being of secondary importance.
"A battle between Mortal Realm level eight, I wonder what the outcome will be."
The registration area was under clear skies.
Due to the large number of participants in the Ascension Gates competition this time, there were simply too many people around the temporary wooden sheds.
Yuchi really had no intention of giving Wei Qingzhu any elixirs. It’s not that he was stingy with these elixirs, as those used in the Mortal Realm are not of concern, but it was simply unnecessary.
Winning or losing, no one in the Mortal Realm really cares, unless the opponent is like yesterday’s who came with intent to cause serious harm; otherwise, losing a match doesn’t matter.
Qingzhu’s situation is a bit special, thinking of revenge, losing two matches in the Mortal Realm could serve as a reminder, letting her understand that revenge is hard to achieve.
Others have long been able to take strong actions, it’s not feasible to only allow Wei Qingzhu to increase her cultivation, while other sects don’t grow bigger.
"Isn’t the sect from Qingzhu’s big city fierce? If you don’t join, they’ll kill your entire family?"
"Can a person really do such a thing?"
Yuchi pondered calmly.
Thinking that in the future when Qingzhu seeks revenge, he cannot just stand by and watch, he needs to stand behind her.
At this time, Ascension Gate was somewhat known, especially among these unremarkable sects. After Feng Dongran had pounded that disciple yesterday, it brought many positive effects to Ascension Gate, so there were some familiar-looking Sect Leaders around Yuchi.
They were all leaders of small sects. Seeing Yuchi bring disciples to participate in the competition, their mindset was quite good.
"Although I don’t know what his sect is called, it can be seen that his sect doesn’t have masters. It’s obviously a newly established sect, the strongest being only at the Qi Cultivation Realm, similar to us."
"Yes, this is a standard newly established sect. It’s tough to recruit apprentices now, apprentices are not easily tricked anymore. They are shrewd, asking first about registration fees and various specific rewards. It’s different from before, when people came to cultivate out of desperation. Now it’s like playing a game; if you can cultivate, you do, if not, you go home. Trying to use the Sect Leader status to suppress disciples is tough now."
"However, his sect seems quite nice, the relationship between disciples and the Sect Leader is so good, not many would believe it if you told them."
The small Sect Leaders chatted casually, feeling relaxed about the Mortal Realm competition themselves, as winning or losing wouldn’t affect the overall situation.
The reason was very simple.
Taking the girl Wei Qingzhu as an example, she is now at the eighth level of the Mortal Realm. Even if she wins all three matches, the points she can gain are quite limited, maybe just one point. But thirty-three years later, if she enters the eighth or ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, a win in a match would weigh much more, so results would only become important then.
Competitions aren’t even counted as rounds, it depends on who can control Spiritual Qi better, able to release the most basic Spiritual Energy Burst. But the power of Spiritual Energy Burst in the Mortal Realm is limited; there isn’t much Spiritual Qi to begin with...
Therefore...
This is truly a case of amateurs pecking at each other.
Yuchi was watching with anxiety, seeing two people wildly hacking at each other with weapons, without any strategy, just like street thugs.
They just charged at each other.
Initially, Qingzhu planned to fight for three days, but later thought it’d be better to finish in one day, realizing how inexperienced she was... wouldn’t want to delay her Senior Sister Shanlan’s battle.
She asked Yuchi if this was okay, to which Yuchi confirmed.
You can fight a hundred times in one day if you can handle it.
In the end, Qingzhu lost two out of three matches. The female cultivator really can’t beat the male cultivator in the Mortal Realm; they crash when facing male cultivators, as males have more strength, and weapon wielding isn’t on the same level. Female cultivators only have an advantage in cultivation, finding it easier to stay calm than males.
"Not bad..."
Luckily, Qingzhu didn’t fall during the match. A small disciple had just rushed forward before tripping over, falling directly to the ground while holding a knife with the handle toward the ground, slicing his arm open, crying loudly.
Very tragic.
"Moreover, Qingzhu wasn’t seriously injured... which is good."
No major injuries, and won a match... all in all, not bad. Qingzhu fought with exuberance, somewhat aloof in public, but truly the fiercest among the disciples when it comes to battle, her fierce blows were quite formidable.
Anyway, not winning is one thing, but the momentum wasn’t lost...
"Quite something... a bit demonic, even."
"Given time, she will be indeed remarkable."
Pinching Qingzhu’s cheek under her mask: "Well done, the match ends today, lastly we’ll watch Senior Sister Shanlan!"
