Chapter 79 Competition among the Orthodox Sects
Wang Hufa said to everyone in a calm and loud voice: "Next, I will explain the rules of this exchange competition to you!"
"For this friendly exchange competition with Taicang Sect, my sect and Taicang Sect will each send 50 outstanding new disciples under the age of 15. Each fight will be randomly determined by drawing lots. For example, if you draw Taixuan No. 1, then your opponent is Taicang No. 1."
"Each contestant has only one chance. Once defeated, you will not be able to draw lots for subsequent competitions. During the battle, you must not hurt anyone's life or dantian. If one party verbally admits defeat or loses the ability to fight, the other party will immediately win!"
At this point, Wang Hufa's originally kind face became serious and gloomy again. He glanced in the direction of Taixuan Square: "This time, Taicang Sect is coming with great momentum! It is obvious that they are planning to come here to severely suppress the prestige of my sect!"
"I will explain the rules of the game to you in detail. In the rules, another rule is added. No matter how powerful and fierce the opponent is, you Taixuanmen disciples must fight to the end and not admit defeat verbally, otherwise, I will never let you off easily! "
"Did you understand?"
The faces of the people also became serious, and they said in unison: "Understood!"
Then the Dharma Protector Wang nodded, stroked his beard and his voice became softer: "The sect will not forget every disciple who has made contributions to the sect and fought for the sect. Even if you can't win a game, as long as your performance does not embarrass the sect, you will also receive an additional reward of 100 spirit stones, and each win will receive a reward of 400 spirit stones. If you can break through the Tianjiao lineup of the Taicang Sect and win the championship, the headmaster will also personally praise you! "
Ye Lin noticed that the three Qi Refining Level 7 disciples in the Taixuan Sect clenched their fists tightly after hearing this, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes, while the others also had sharp eyes and boiling fighting spirit.
Although Taixuan Sect has revised its rules, the disciples' lives are far less comfortable and safe than before, but this is also a necessary measure to deal with the threat of the Demon Sect.
Most people will become more cautious and fiercer after being in an unsafe place for a long time, and the chances of winning in a battle with the Demon Sect monks will be higher.
The sects are the only support for all disciples and the home they rely on for survival. If Taixuan Sect declines, everyone's life will only become more difficult.
So this battle must be fought to the end, and no one wants to retreat.
Ye Lin also clenched his fist slightly.
It was Taixuan Sect that gave him the opportunity to become a cultivator from a humble slave and seek the eternal immortal way. Now he has a senior sister and master who are so good to him in the sect, and he has a strong sense of belonging to Taixuan Sect.
This is his home!
Soon the time was approaching Sishi (nine o'clock in the morning), and many disciples could hear noisy voices coming from Taixuan Square. Obviously, many spectators had already arrived.
In the past, the friendship exchange wars of the three major righteous sects were usually held once every three years, but as the threat of the demon sect became increasingly serious, the competition and cooperation between the three sects became more and more intense, and the exchange competition became an annual event.
Although the competitions became more frequent, the enthusiasm of the spectators did not fade, but became more enthusiastic as the situation in the Xunlong Mountains changed in recent years.
The rookie disciple exchange competition is the best stage for the major sects to show their potential. If the disciples of a sect can often gain a huge advantage in the exchange competition and win the championship every year, then there is no doubt that this sect must be very powerful!
And whether it is the demon sect, the demon clan, the earth demon, or even the three major righteous sects, there is always an iron rule, that is, bully the weak and fear the strong!
For example, the disciples of the Taiji Sect, the largest sect in the Xunlong Mountains, are domineering and unscrupulous when they walk outside, and they always treat other cultivators with an arrogant and superior appearance. Even if the demons of the demon sect see them, most of them are unwilling to provoke them and take a detour, because they feel that they cannot afford to provoke this behemoth.
But the situation of Taixuan Sect monks outside is just the opposite. Because of the decline of Taixuan Sect, all the big and small demon sect monks look down on Taixuan Sect disciples, harass Taixuan Sect's mines in the caves, and often murder Taixuan Sect disciples on the ground.
In addition, the size of the territory of the Mortal Kingdom, the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Wuji Dynasty, and the Canghai Dynasty is all determined by the strength of the sect.
In the past few hundred years, the territory of the Great Xuan Dynasty has been continuously occupied by the Wuji Dynasty and the Canghai Dynasty. The reason is also because Taixuan Sect is weak and unable to compete with the other two major sects.
So the three major righteous sects seem to be in harmony on the surface, and they cooperate closely in eliminating demons and defending the way, but in fact they have always been in a competitive relationship. If you are strong, I will be weak, and if you are weak, I will be strong.
So if there is an opportunity to destroy the prestige of other sects, no sect will let it go.
This exchange competition can be said to have been planned by Taicang Sect for a long time. Many years ago, they began to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to test the spiritual roots of civilian children in the Canghai Dynasty. It is said that even disabled beggars on the street were taken for testing one by one. Many disciples in the sect are either testing their spiritual roots or on the way to testing their spiritual roots.
It is precisely because of this that the number of new disciples in Taicang Sect in recent years is large, and the quality is far better than before. It seems that the current head of Taicang Sect is ambitious and is determined to challenge the hegemony of Taiji Sect.
Taixuan Sect also wants to follow suit, but it lacks manpower, material resources and financial resources. At present, it can only slowly reform the system within the sect and strive to maintain the thousand-year foundation and wait for changes.
It is against this background that the exchange war between Taixuan Sect and Taicang Sect began!
On the Taixuan Square, there were already thousands of monks in Taoist robes standing densely, most of whom were disciples of the Taixuan Sect. A small number of disciples of the Taicang Sect wore light blue Taoist robes of the Taicang Sect, and a small number of disciples of the Taiji Sect wore golden and luxurious Taoist robes. There were also a very small number of disciples wearing other clothes, who should be disciples of the scattered sects.
In the sky, from time to time, you can see streams of light passing by, and occasionally you can see flying boats and cranes coming and going. There are monks coming to watch the game one after another, and the number of people in the square is still increasing rapidly.
In the center of the square, there are fighting platforms that are one zhang high and dozens of zhang long and wide. On each platform, there is an inner sect monk wearing a Taixuan Sect Taoist robe sitting quietly. This is the referee of the competition. Each of them has a powerful cultivation base of the twelfth level of Qi training and is about to break through the foundation-building realm.
There are a total of ten such fighting stages. Ordinary spectators stand around the stages. There are rows of chairs diagonally above the Taixuan Square. These are the high-level spectator seats. Only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage can sit there. Currently, there are dozens of people sitting there.
