Chapter 429 Junior Sister Doesn’t Want to Be the Group Favorite 61

Ni Ming and Lu Hua never had a good life in the outer sect.

The two senior brothers accepted Wu Wu's benefits, so they naturally had to strictly control them according to the instructions.

And they slandered and attempted to murder Tao Ran. They once plotted against Du Yunyao from the Thirteenth Peak, and the Du family's affairs were also spread by those two senior brothers.

The two of them added to their misdeeds, and their reputations were even more ruined.

Especially with the Great Competition approaching, the more Tao Ran's prestige grows, the more the outer monks hate the rubbish that tarnishes their outer sect's glory.

As for the two of them who had offended Tao Ran, Wu Wu and Du Yunyao, it was already destined that no one would stand up for them, speak out or help them. Instead, more people would step on them.

Soon, another thing happened.

On the day when the sect competition began, Ni Ming and Lu Hua were caught. It is said that while the monks were going to compare, the two of them committed theft. Not only were they caught by four monks, but a large number of spiritual stones were also found on their bodies.

And the person's name is also written on the spirit stone bag.

There were all witnesses and material evidence, but the two people denied it and swore that they had been framed and had never done anything, so the two groups started fighting.

One of the young cultivators, who was still in the Qi refining stage, was hit by Ni Ming's spiritual power. He spurted blood on the spot and fainted. In this way, the two of them were charged with another crime: harming their fellow disciples.

They were taken to the execution hall.

The subjects of questioning were naturally Ni Ming and Lu Hua.

After hearing their charges, the two felt extremely aggrieved. They shouted angrily in front of the court that the head of the torture hall was unfair, and asked him whether he was bullying the newcomer or accepting someone's benefit.

The boss was furious.

So the two of them added another crime: contempt of punishment hall.

In this way, the two of them were sent directly to the torture hall.

They lost their freedom again.

They were sentenced to another three years in prison.

During these three years, they not only had to squat, but they also had to work in the torture room to earn money to compensate the injured Xiao Xiu.

Tao Ran also went to the execution hall when he had time.

Of course she knew that those two trash men were most likely framed for their fate, but that didn't stop her from continuing to add insult to injury.

She went to throw out the two IOUs, indicating that Ni Ming and Lu Hua still owed her money.

The head of the Punishment Hall was shocked after confirming, "Such a big sum?" The amount of spiritual stones they earned from the small jobs they did every day might not be enough in thirty years.

"Then give them more work, dirty work to earn money, work that others don't want to do. It's obvious that their character has not been reformed after two years in Si Guo Ya, so why not try to reform it through labor? They? Perhaps they can achieve greater value for the sect, and the sect will not waste these decades of training in vain."

Undoubtedly, that makes sense.

These two people are useless. But the sect spent a lot of money to cultivate them.

"So," Tao Ran smiled: "I will hand over these two IOUs."

"What... does this mean?" The principal's eyes lit up.

"In other words, they have to try their best to repay the debt in this IOU according to the amount. But I don't want this debt anymore. I will contribute all of it to the sect. It can be used to subsidize the punishment hall or the outer sect. That’s fine. I won’t take any money.”

"Then you...will be at a loss."

"What I want is punishment for them. After all, repaying debts is a matter of course! As long as they are punished, I will not lose money."

In this way, Tao Ran's two IOUs were donated!

Those two losers can no longer produce anything, so there is no use keeping IOUs. Besides, Tao Ran is not short of spiritual stones now, so he might as well turn waste into treasure, donate it directly, and transfer this debt collection task directly to the execution hall. Then why worry about them defaulting?

And there are many other benefits.

With this donation, even Xingtang owed her a favor.

More importantly, after having two IOUs, the Xingtang had a high-sounding reason for increasing and aggravating their workload. As Tao Ran said, "It is natural to pay back debts."

In this way, not only can the residual value of their waste be stimulated to a greater extent, and the sect's losses on them can be supplemented, but the value they create can also be used in places where it is more needed. And her two IOUs will not be criticized. They serve multiple purposes...

And the two losers will enter a new round of torture from now on.

This time, it was physical.

Tao Ran sympathized with them. Thinking that in the past two years, they were forced to think too hard, their bodies were lazy, and their muscles and bones were loose, so in the next three years, they should work hard, exercise, and strengthen their bodies.

For example, go to the mine renovation that she recommended to the head of the execution hall.

It's dirty and tiring, it's dark, the life is hard, there's no way to escape, it's the most suitable place for reform through labor!

Coupled with their unwillingness to be wronged, their reluctance to fall from a high place, and their bitter hatred of being betrayed and separated from their relatives, these multiple tortures are worthy of them.

This is great, it has great benefits for the outer sects. Tao Ran doesn’t have to face them anymore for a short time, and his mood has improved...

The sect competition has begun.

Tao Ran is in the foundation building group.

The purpose of the competition is to select talents. Considering that the strength gap between each small level of cultivation will be very large, the competition items are designed to narrow the gap in combat effectiveness as much as possible.

The first is flying with the sword.

In distance races, you complete a flight and earn points based on your time.

The game is quite difficult, it is not a simple flight.

During the flight, there are various emergencies.

For example, mountains suddenly grow taller; thorny clouds; sudden tornadoes and hail; sudden strong winds; plummeting due to gravity; forced gliding on the water; sudden appearance of a water monster with a wide mouth on the water surface that requires emergency avoidance and avoidance. Find a way to escape...

All kinds of changes at high speed are like riding a roller coaster. If you don't have enough control over the spiritual sword, have weak spiritual power, lack of concentration or some hesitation, you will lose your balance and fall out of the game.

Seeing that we were almost at the end, there was still a fog. If the will is slightly unstable, the monk will be dizzy and fall...

Although Tao Ran has good fighting ability and mental strength, he rarely has the opportunity to wield a sword on weekdays, so he can only cross the finish line smoothly. His results are not outstanding. Among the foundation-building monks, he barely ranks fifteenth.

After this competition, half of the monks were directly eliminated.

Among the monks who passed through, 60% were from the outer sect.

But compared with the inner sect, there is still a clear gap between this performance. Because there are so many people from their outer sect to compare with! There are three times more than the inner gate!

And their results are not top-notch. Among the first twenty people who passed, sixteen were actually from the inner sect. It can be seen that the top talents are still in the inner sect.

But even this is the best result the outer sect has achieved in the competition in recent years. Everyone was very grateful for Tao Ran's appearance. The effect of the pre-match surprise training organized by her has been highlighted.

What follows is a spell test.

There are ten competition contents in total...

The third round is a monster-fighting competition for thousands of people in a limited venue.

Within the time limit, the more monsters you kill, the higher your score will be.

Tao Ran did not bring any spiritual beasts, nor did he use wood spirits. She doesn't want to cheat, she just wants to rely on herself and see where her strength lies.

Fortunately, her speed is fast enough, her firepower is fierce enough, her endurance is strong enough, and her psychological quality is relatively good. In protracted battles, her performance is very stable, and she maintains efficient kills from the beginning to the end.

This time, her results were pretty good.

In this round, she got fourth place.

The first three were all apprentices of several elders, and their cultivation levels were much higher than hers, so she was convinced.
