Chapter 382 I Choose Chu Ning of Jiuhua Sect
"Most of the participants are actually late Jindan cultivators."
Inside the dojo, the others were talking about the cultivators who came forward to measure their bone age.
"This is nothing strange, since there are so many late Jindan cultivators this time.
The middle and early Jindan cultivators naturally don't have much chance.
Rather than this, it's better not to participate."
While everyone was talking, Chu Ning was also looking at the many cultivators who came to the high platform with him to measure their bone age.
There were a few people he knew among them.
For example, He Feng from Guiyuan Sect, Cai Yongbin from Yuhui Sect and others, whom he had met in the Jinling Seed Spirit Realm before.
He Feng was considered the leader of Yunxiao League at that time.
After Chu Ning took Shi Xuerong through the mountaintop spiritual mist with space cracks, he also introduced the two to each other.
And Cai Yongbin from Yuhui Sect was the late Jindan cultivator who walked through the mountaintop spiritual mist with Chu Ning.
However, after the group was divided into several groups, Chu Ning, Master Xuerong, Yuan Zhuo, and Jia Yumin all arrived successfully.
Cai Yongbin and the other three cultivators were together, but in the end, only he walked out.
There was also Rong Daoping from Daluo Sect, whom he met only after coming here.
At this moment, Chu Ning's eyes fell on another late Jindan cultivator in Guiyuan Sect.
"This person must be Jiang Cheng, who is as famous as the sect master, at the peak of the late Jindan stage.
I think he has not been able to condense the Nascent Soul because he has not had the right opportunity.
Unexpectedly, he actually participated in this competition again."
Not only Chu Ning was observing, but the eyes of many other cultivators also fell on Jiang Cheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Jiang Cheng has not been able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage until now, this has somewhat surprised the cultivators in Yunxiao League.
But the other party was already a late Jindan cultivator a hundred years ago and won the first place in the competition.
In this competition, he is naturally the most popular candidate to win the first place.
Next, everyone's attention was focused on the other late Jindan peak cultivators.
In this kind of competition, the spiritual fruit reward of the Wanfa Tree is certainly attractive, but it is also an opportunity to show the strength of the sect.
A late Jindan peak cultivator under 500 years old, this means a great probability of impacting the Nascent Soul stage.
It also represents the future potential of the sect in a certain way.
Among this group of people, Chu Ning's late Jindan cultivation is not too high, but it also attracts attention.
The reason is also very simple, too young.
The appearance of the cultivator ages very slowly after the foundation building, but it does not mean that he will not age.
Most of the late Jindan cultivators standing on the stage have the appearance of middle-aged people.
The cultivators can roughly guess their ages based on their appearance.
But Chu Ning is only about 20 years old, and everyone can't guess whether he is really young or there is some special reason.
And people like He Feng, Cai Yongbin, who have seen Chu Ning in the Jinling Seed Spirit Realm before, know that he was only in the early Jindan stage.
At this moment, he was a little surprised.
Soon, it was Chu Ning's turn to test his bone age.
Because Guiyuan Sect also arranged disciples to participate, this time, in addition to Guiyuan Sect's own Nascent Soul cultivators, two other sects' Nascent Soul cultivators were also arranged for the bone age test.
Qin Changkong, the Grand Elder of Guiyuan Sect and the leader of Yunxiao League, did not show up. The three cultivators were all in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
The first person to test Chu Ning's bone age was the Nascent Soul cultivator in charge of this competition in Guiyuan Sect, named Lu Yuezhang.
He shook Chu Ning's arm, and then he was surprised, and then he said two words calmly.
"Compliant!"
This time, the actual bone age of each cultivator will not be made public.
But when Lu Yuezhang shook his hand, he found that Chu Ning's actual age was only a little over a hundred years old, and his face was naturally surprised.
The other two, one is a cultivator from Tianyin Pavilion, and the other is a cultivator from Taiheyuan.
They are all sects with top strength rankings in Yunxiao League.
After the two of them finished measuring Chu Ning's bone age, they were also surprised.
A late Jindan who was over a hundred years old was unique in the Yunxiao League.
However, on the surface, they did not show any expression, and only gave a judgment that it was in line with the requirements.
It took only a short time for the thirty-nine people to complete the bone age test.
They were all within the range of the condition of five hundred years.
This was not unexpected by everyone. They were all from the same league, and the details of the cultivators were generally clear.
Those who were not of this age would basically not participate.
Otherwise, if the test results were really incompatible, they would not be able to lose face.
The next step was to draw lots to decide the opponent. The rules were relatively simple. Many ordered bamboo sticks were placed in the restrictions set by several Yuanying cultivators.
Chu Ning and other participants in the competition randomly drew, and those who drew the same number were grouped.
Chu Ning drew in the middle order, and after drawing, he showed it to all the cultivators with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Chu Ning is lucky. He got a bye this time."
Tang Xuan said to Cen Zijin with a smile.
Cen Zijin nodded slightly. Getting a bye meant that Chu Ning could fight at least one less match.
On the other side, the faces of several cultivators from Daluo Sect, except Ao Xuan, also flashed with joy.
Because the viewing platform for each sect also has restrictions, Ao Xuan spoke directly at this moment, and asked Du Xianming in confusion:
"Elder, why are you happy that Chu Ning didn't win?"
"Junior Brother Ao, you didn't participate before, so you don't know the rules of this competition."
A smile flashed in Du Xianming's eyes at this moment.
"According to the rules, the top three can only choose one of the bottom three as their opponent.
Chu Ning has a bye in the first round and can rest, but all cultivators can choose him as their opponent in the next game.
If Dao Ping wins the first round of the competition with thunderous means and ranks first, he can directly choose Chu Ning when he plays.
This is more likely than a normal match."
Ao Xuan nodded slightly when he heard this, but still said with some concern:
"But the two late Jindan cultivators of Guiyuan Sect are also strong, especially Jiang Cheng.
What if they win first and choose Chu Ning?"
"They won't choose." Du Xianming shook his head.
"I found out after asking around a few days ago that this guy from Jiuhua Sect was actually teleported together with Shi Xuerong from Guiyuan Sect.
Although I didn't find out what happened specifically, it seems that Chu Ning did help Shi Xuerong return to the sect safely.
Based on this, it is not easy for the cultivators from Guiyuan Sect to directly choose Chu Ning as their opponent."
Hearing this, Ao Xuan's face suddenly flashed with joy.
At this moment, several people cast their eyes on Rong Daoping in the Taotai.
Next, as long as Rong Daoping wins faster than others except Jiang Cheng, he will have the opportunity to choose his opponent.
On the other side, because Chu Ning, who had a bye in the first round, returned to the viewing platform of Jiuhua Sect, Tang Xuan also told Chu Ning about this rule.
"Oh, there is such a rule?" Chu Ning was a little surprised at this moment.
As for the detailed rules of this competition, before the draw, the Yuanying cultivator of Guiyuan Sect just said roughly that it was according to the old rules.
The leaders of each sect informed them, and no special details were mentioned.
Therefore, Chu Ning only knew that in each round of the competition, in addition to a ranking based on the winning speed, and then a team competition.
He did not know how the competition for those who had no rounds would be conducted.
However, Chu Ning did not take it too seriously.
With his current strength, he did not care too much about who his opponent was.
At this moment, Chu Ning began to focus on the duels of groups.
Although the Yunxiao League's competition advocated not to use heavy hands and killers, it also encouraged everyone to use their best skills.
Therefore, the rule was that the winner must be decided within one incense stick.
Chu Ning was watching the battles of the late Jindan cultivators at this moment, and he found that everyone used a fierce killing move as soon as they made a move.
After watching more than ten battles.
He also saw that Jiang Cheng was still the strongest among the crowd.
This person drove a pen-shaped magic weapon and used water-attributed skills and spells.
When facing another late Jindan cultivator, he suppressed the opponent so much that he had no power to fight back, and the fight ended after a few rounds.
Another person who surprised Chu Ning was Rong Daoping from Daluo Sect.
This person turned out to be a cultivator with mutated ice spirit roots, and his attack power was second only to Jiang Cheng.
Even stronger than He Feng from Guiyuan Sect, who Chu Ning was familiar with.
You should know that He Feng mainly practiced gold-attributed skills and spells, and was good at attacking.
Except for these three people, the strength of the other cultivators was not weak.
The one that Chu Ning paid special attention to was a mid-Jindan cultivator.
This person was named Zhuang Zhong, and he was a cultivator from Xuanhuo Sect in Yunxiao League.
Because this sect did not have any Yuanying cultivators, it was not very prominent in Yunxiao League.
However, this person practiced fire-attributed skills and spells, which was extremely amazing. He actually fought against a late Jindan cultivator and won.
And in Chu Ning's opinion, the opponent did not seem to be trying his best.
It's not that Chu Ning had never challenged a higher realm with a lower realm. On the contrary, he had done it a lot.
Because of this, Chu Ning knew more clearly that it was not possible for ordinary cultivators to challenge a higher realm with a lower realm.
Chu Ning immediately remembered the name Zhuang Zhong.
In fact, it was not only Chu Ning who paid attention to Zhuang Zhong.
After all, the people present were the best in Yunxiao League in terms of experience and cultivation.
And under the attention of so many people, Zhuang Zhong himself was unusually calm.
He just went straight back to the viewing platform of Xuanhuo Sect.
The battle went very quickly. Almost every round did not take an incense stick of time. After more than a dozen rounds, it only took half a day.
Soon, several Yuanying cultivators in the alliance gave the results of the first round.
Jiang Cheng ranked first without any suspense, and the second place was Rong Daoping of Daluo Sect.
Another female cultivator at the peak of the late Jindan stage ranked third, and He Feng ranked fourth.
Zhuang Zhong, who was concerned by Chu Ning, ranked thirteenth, but his position was not very high.
However, he was also on the list of nineteen.
In this way, with Chu Ning, it constitutes the list of twenty people for the second round.
"In the second round, the opponent will be selected according to the ranking of the first round." Lu Yuezhang took the list and read it directly.
"Guiyuan Sect Jiang Cheng."
Jiang Cheng stood up from the viewing platform of Guiyuan Sect and flew back to the dojo.
"Qingying Sect He Ligang."
Jiang Cheng slowly said a person's name, and without much surprise, he chose the last one among the nineteen people.
After seeing Jiang Cheng's choice, everyone in the Daluo Sect suddenly had a smile on their faces.
"Brother Zong." At this moment, Ao Xuan turned to Rong Daoping with a look of hatred on his face.
"Don't let that boy named Chu go. I've been waiting for this day for decades!"
Rong Daoping nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, as long as he plays, I won't give him any chance."
While several people were talking, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng had already exchanged hands.
Although the strength of the late-stage Jindan monks of the Green Eagle Sect seems to be slightly stronger than the monks of the previous round.
But facing Jiang Cheng, there was still a clear gap.
Just like in the first round before, Jiang Cheng used his pen-like magic weapon to suppress the opponent throughout the whole process and had no ability to fight back.
In just a few rounds, it was an immediate victory.
Then Jiang Cheng returned to the Guiyuan Sect's viewing platform with a calm expression.
It's as if the fight just now didn't waste much strength at all.
Even the scene didn't arouse much discussion, and everyone seemed to think Jiang Cheng's behavior was normal.
Lu Yuezhang on the Guiyuan Sect side did not get up again and said directly:
"The second place is Daluo Zongrong Daoping."
After saying these words, Rong Daoping, who was of medium height and had a cold face, suddenly flew up from the viewing platform of Da Luo Sect and landed on the high platform of the dojo.
At the same time, his eyes were also looking directly in the direction of Chu Ning and others.
Everyone in the Yunxiao Alliance knows a little bit about the grievances between Jiuhua Sect and Daluo Sect.
Looking at Rong Daoping's actions at this moment, there was a lot of discussion.
"It seems that the Daluo Sect is going to choose the young monk from the Jiuhua Sect."
"Jiuhua Sect and Daluo Sect have always been at odds with each other, so it's not surprising."
Sure enough, the next moment, Rong Daoping said coldly:
"I choose Jiuhua Sect Chu Ning!"
When Chu Ning heard this, he immediately stood up and flew away, landing directly on the high platform.
When Rong Daoping won second place before, Chu Ning knew that the other party had a high probability of choosing him.
There was no surprise at this moment.
Chu Ning moved so quickly that Tang Xuan and Cen Zijin had no time to say a word of concern.
However, considering the strength that Chu Ning had shown before, the two of them were not too worried.
Tang Xuan had personally fought against Chu Ning, and Cen Zijin had also seen Chu Ning take action, so he fully believed in Chu Ning's strength.
But others don't know.
As soon as Chu Ning came on the court, various small-scale discussions suddenly started in different spectator stands.
"This monk from the Jiuhua Sect is really young. He can reach the late stage of Jindan at such a young age. He is really a rare talent in cultivation.
However, Rong Daoping is at the peak of the late Jindan period after all. If Gong Yuyuan or Yuan Zhuo comes, he will still be able to fight.
After all, Chu Ning is young and must have just entered the late stage of Jindan. I am afraid that he will not be Rong Daoping's opponent. "
"Who says otherwise? Rong Daoping obviously wanted to humiliate the monks of Jiuhua Sect."
