Chapter 33: Trouble
The next day.
The mist cleared early, and the sunlight fell like scattered snow.
Today was the first day of the inner sect competition, which was slightly different from the random draws of the previous days. From today on, each person had to fight three matches a day, for three consecutive days, and then the top ten would be decided based on the accumulated points from the victories.
Jiang Huai still didn’t care about the complex rules of the competition; he only knew that he just needed to not lose any matches from now on.
Luo Qingyu also dressed up beautifully today, in a dreamy purple dress, with her delicate legs appearing fair beneath the hem. Her face was as exquisite and moving as ever, and she clung tightly to Jiang Huai’s arm along the way, like a little pet that Jiang Huai carried with him.
The inner sect competition was held on the Sword Debate Mountain, with four arenas set up and four light screens broadcasting the matches in real-time.
The betting pool for the disciples’ final rankings had also opened early, and Jiang Huai curiously checked the odds for him taking first place—damn, it was only four to one now.
Fortunately, he had asked Wen Wanwan to bet a hundred spirit stones on him when the odds were fifteen to one; a small profit is always better than a loss.
Jiang Huai’s first match of the day was against a sword cultivator from Lingjian Mountain.
The Junior Brother was at the early stage of Core Formation, specializing in flying sword techniques. His spirit sword hovered behind him, and although he stood still as a mountain, his sword shadows were as dazzling as startled swans.
Unfortunately, his sword was not faster than Jiang Huai’s. At the very moment the match was announced to start, Jiang Huai had already dashed forward, almost moving with the opponent’s sword. But just as the blade was about to reach him, he sidestepped and immediately advanced, throwing a punch.
