"Junior Sister Ye, we've all been eliminated. You're the only one in our team who advanced. You have to carry our hopes and work hard. It would be best if you can pass the sect conference and get a spot." Pei Qian and others came over to cheer her up.
It was actually normal for them to be eliminated. Being able to enter the top 1,000 in the Hunter Conference meant a certain amount of luck. In terms of combat power alone, it was just that of an ordinary Jindan cultivator, nothing outstanding.
"Don't worry, I will definitely get a place." Ye Liuyun clenched his fists and promised.
The viewing platform here is divided according to factions, with each faction occupying an area. Not long after, Meng Xianer also came, but to Ye Liuyun's surprise, what was surprising was that Meng Xianer passed the first round and entered the second round.
All I can say is that Ye Liuyun may have underestimated her.
Today, there are huge crowds of people here and it is very lively. Such a spectacular scene was rare in schools in previous lives. It feels like a school sports meeting.
Ye Liuyun was full of confidence today. Although the cheat she used was blocked by Yunzong, she now had a new cheat. She didn't believe that Yunzong could still ban the power in her body.
"Junior Sister Ye, you did a great job. I didn't expect that I underestimated you."
Just as Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were looking around, a group of people came behind Ye Liuyun. These people were all disciples from Caiyun Peak who had passed the first round of eliminations. There were a total of 58 disciples.
Compared with the disciples from other factions, there are relatively few people on Caiyun Peak.
"Hey, senior sister? You, oh, these are the senior sisters who passed the elimination rounds, right?" Ye Liuyun greeted Han Yao immediately when he saw her coming with a group of people.
Lin Aoxue just nodded slightly and didn't say much.
"That's right, what a pity, there are only 58 people in total including you. Alas! I don't know how many of us among the 58 people will eventually get the chance to participate in the Nanling event." Han Yao sighed.
To be honest, Han Yao felt that it was already a lot for their Caiyun Peak to get 10 places.
"Senior sister, there is no need to encourage others. This time, we sisters have decided to fight it out." The girls said with full fighting spirit.
"Hey! It's a good thing to have the will to fight. However, the promotion match is not the knockout match. The knockout match is deliberately matched by the sect, but the promotion match is randomly matched. We will draw lots later, and we might draw our own sisters." Han Yao said.
When Ye Liuyun heard that the promotion match would be a draw, he immediately frowned.
"Drawing lots? If we run into disciples from the same faction, wouldn't that be bad luck?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"Hey! Who said it wasn't? But there's nothing we can do. When the promotion round begins, everyone has combat power at least at the Dao Palace Nascent Soul stage. It's a problem how to match them. It's better to draw lots to be fair." Han Yao said.
As Han Yao finished speaking, streams of light were seen descending from the sky onto the highest viewing platform. Naturally, the top leaders of the Yun Sect had arrived.
"Greetings to the sect master and all the elders." When the Yun Sect disciples saw Fang Mingyu and others, they hurriedly saluted.
Fang Mingyu and the others sat down slowly and waved to the disciples as a greeting, and glanced at the third elder at the same time.
The third elder nodded immediately, walked to the edge of the platform, and began to announce the rules of today's competition.
"Okay, today is the first day of the promotion match. The rules of the match are based on the rules of the first round. One more restriction is added. You are not allowed to use consumable treasures that are completely unrelated to your own power. The rest remains unchanged. The matching method is to draw lots. In other words, what opponent you will draw depends entirely on your own luck." said the third elder.
This restriction was obviously aimed at Ye Liuyun, and Ye Liuyun's face immediately fell.
After the Third Elder finished speaking, he waved his hand and a series of jade plates flew to the center of the arena and floated in the air. These jade plates did not seem to have any words on them, probably because they were isolated by force. Only after they got the jade plates could they know the numbers on them.
"These jade plates have your numbers on them, and they are matched from 1 to 2, and so on. You can choose the jade plate you like. Good luck to you," said the third elder.
After hearing this, powerful disciples like Murong Huan didn't even hesitate and grabbed a jade token at random. After getting the jade token, the number on it was revealed.
After taking a look at it, they put it away.
Seeing that the contestants were collecting jade tokens, Ye Liuyun quickly looked at Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue immediately understood what Ye Liuyun meant, so she reached out and grabbed two jade tokens. Then two jade tokens fell into her hands. The other jade token was naturally for Ye Liuyun, but she did not touch Ye Liuyun's one.
Ye Liuyun quickly grabbed the jade token and took a look at it.
"6, haha, this is a good number, I like it, 6." Ye Liuyun showed it in front of Lin Aoxue with a smile.
But Lin Aoxue, after looking at her jade token, just laughed.
"Sorry, 66." Lin Aoxue showed her jade token to Ye Liuyun.
Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun's expression fell.
"Ah... why, I draw a lucky number but still get beaten by you." Ye Liuyun complained with a sad face.
Chapter 306 The First Battle Begins (5000 words)
Ye Liuyun’s opponent is No. 5. It’s the third game, and he doesn’t have to wait too long.
But it was exactly what he wanted, she really wanted to go up as soon as possible to test out the new cheats she had mastered.
But not everyone wants to go on stage early. The first person who drew number 1 immediately cursed his bad luck.
This kind of competition is not just about strength, there are actually a lot of psychological factors involved. The calmer the person is, the more hope they have of winning. Sometimes, even if there is a slight lack of strength, it can be made up through experience.
After the contestants drew their numbers, they immediately compared their numbers with those of the disciples in the same faction to see if they had any common numbers.
Each faction has at least dozens of participants, so the probability of meeting each other is very high.
"Ah... No, Sister Mo, why was I matched with you? Oh my God, I'm so unlucky." Just after the drawing of lots, a tragic scream came from behind Ye Liuyun.
There was no need to look, it must be disciples from Caiyun Peak who collided with each other. Ye Liuyun quickly turned around to take a look and found that it was two core disciples from Caiyun Peak who collided with each other, and their realms were similar, both in the middle stage of Dao Palace Nascent Soul Realm.
Su Ying on the stage saw that the disciples from her own faction had bumped into her, and her expression suddenly fell. However, Caiyun Peak was relatively lucky, as only a pair of disciples had bumped into each other. Looking at the other factions, more or less, disciples from the same faction had bumped into each other.
It would be fine if there was a big difference in realm, but most of them have equal strength, so in this case, we have no choice but to go up.
But what’s even more interesting is the couple we bumped into over at Leiyun Peak next door, and they have a rather unusual relationship.
"Old Chen, I didn't expect that I would run into you. How about you admit defeat and let me win, since we are good friends?"
Over at Leiyun Peak, a female disciple in the late Nascent Soul stage was seen smilingly stretching out a hand and placing it on the shoulder of another male cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and said with a smile.
But the moment the other person touched him, the young man felt like he was electrocuted and pushed the person away without any hesitation.
"Fuck, Lao Fan, can you please stop touching me? I'm telling you, don't think that you have turned into a woman. I, I will let you, I have never treated you as a woman, just give up this idea, let's fight for real in the ring." The young man said with an embarrassed look on his face and a hint of weird emotion.
"Oh, how rude. You were ok with me putting your arms around my shoulders before, but now you won't even let me touch you. Honestly, what do you mean by physical intimacy between men and women? A good man never fights with a woman, and now at this juncture, you're telling me that you don't treat me like a woman and are playing tricks on me?" The female monk's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
The young man's mouth twitched because of what the woman said, and the people around him were almost laughing to death.
But what’s strange is that, judging from the appearance of this female monk, she should have a partner, so why does she seem so close to another person?
"Hahaha, Brother Chen, you and Brother Fan are really good partners and close friends. I didn't expect that you would be matched together in the draw. My suggestion is that since you two are so destined to be together and have such a relationship, you should just get together as a couple, haha."
When the two heard the mocking voices, they seemed to recall some bad memories. Their faces turned black and red. Then they turned around at the same time and shouted angrily at the people who were teasing them behind them.
"Shut up. No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak. Do you want to cause trouble?"
These two people really speak in unison and have a great understanding of each other, but that's normal. In a country as big as Yunzong, there must be a lot of close partners.
After all, in many cases, if you have a completely trustworthy companion to perform a task together, the efficiency will definitely be much better than doing it alone.
The two people in front of him were Lei Yunfeng’s best friends before, but unfortunately one of them turned into a woman, and then they can no longer be as casual as before.
Don’t ever think that becoming a woman is no big deal. Changing gender and appearance can easily lead to a butterfly effect.
For those disciples of Yun Sect who had inexplicable relationships between men and women, in fact, many of them had a very good relationship before and did not pay attention to the distance.
The two of Lei Yunfeng are actually an example of those typical pairs in Yun Sect.
But these two guys have totally refused to acknowledge this kind of relationship so far.
What happened? When they came back from a mission, they were so happy that they drank a lot of spirit wine at Chen's residence and got drunk. But when they woke up, they found that they had slept together for some unknown reason.
While drunk, Fan Lei had sex with a man named Chen and gave him her own genitals.
But who could accept that he had such a relationship with his former good brother? The man surnamed Chen was so scared that he ran away and hid.
But truth will come to light sooner or later, and it is impossible to completely avoid it.
As for Fan Lei, maybe it was because she was a man before, so she was embarrassed at first, but she didn't take it seriously at all afterwards. It can only be said that she completely lacks self-awareness as a woman.
It was very easy for a female cultivator to be discovered after leaking her vital energy, so she was naturally captured by the sect's law enforcement team. However, because this matter was so special, the two of them were sentenced to return to their respective residences to reflect on their sins.
Is there no way? A transgender female monk had sex with her buddy. How can the Law Enforcement Hall judge such a thing? And it was not intentional.
"Eh? What's going on over at Leiyun Peak? Why is there such a big noise?" Ye Liuyun looked at the commotion going on at Leiyun Peak next door and couldn't help but ask curiously.
However, when she asked this question, Meng Xian'er, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, Senior Sister Ye, you have been in Yunzong for a short time, so you may not know that since the Black Wind Mountains, our Yunzong cultivators have changed genders. Some have changed back, and some have not. The two people being watched at the Leiyun Peak next door are Senior Brother Chen Lan and Senior Sister Fan Lei. Senior Sister Fan Lei was originally a male disciple, and she is a close friend of Senior Brother Chen."
"At first, no one took the change of gender seriously. They thought everything would remain the same as before. But I heard from the disciples at Leiyun Peak that one day, about three months after Senior Sister Fan Lei became a woman, they were drinking in their residence and got drunk. Then, for some reason, they ended up on a bed. Having said that, Senior Sister Ye, you should understand." Meng Xian'er shyly gestured to Ye Liuyun.
When Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue heard this, they were dumbfounded.
"This? Oh my god." Lin Aoxue was stunned.
"Damn, you said Senior Sister Fan Lei was bullied?" Ye Liuyun asked in disbelief.
Although Meng Xian'er didn't quite understand what Ye Liuyun meant by "being pouted", she could tell from Ye Liuyun's expression and eyes that Ye Liuyun understood.
For Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, this matter was extremely outrageous.
"That's how it is anyway. If it weren't for this incident, which was completely an accident, the sect would definitely punish them severely. I just don't know how they will get along in the future." Meng Xian'er sighed.
Later, Meng Xianer told Ye Liuyun that this was not the only incident like this in the sect, but several. Because of all the mess, the sect made up its mind to redistribute factions according to gender, and at the same time sent special people to teach those disciples who had changed their gender and to re-recognize their current identities.
"Oh my God, is this the legendary good brothers finally becoming a couple?" After hearing what Meng Xianer said, Ye Liuyun felt that his three perspectives became very confused.
Lin Aoxue was also stunned. Anyway, these words had a certain impact on her three views.
"It's time to rest. Get ready for the game. Everyone, be quiet. No noise is allowed while watching the game."
The third elder calculated the time and then announced that the competition was about to begin.
As the game was announced to start, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
"Today's match will be refereed by Elders Lei Yunfeng and Jiang. As I said before, just go all out and don't worry about casualties." The third elder added.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall male elder flew from the high-level viewing platform to the center of the competition venue and spoke loudly.
"No. 1 and No. 2 come on stage and prepare to compete."
As soon as these words were spoken, a female cultivator from the Ziyun Peak’s spectator booth flew up into the air and landed on the competition field.
Soon after, a female disciple from the main peak also entered the venue.
Unexpectedly, the first match was a battle between two beautiful female monks. This was a good start.
"Yang Cai from Purple Cloud Peak."
"Huo Xin of Yunxiao Peak."
The two men came on stage and introduced themselves, which was considered a greeting, and the next step was to take action.
Ye Liuyun immediately watched the fight with great interest, because the two people in front of her were at a similar realm, both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, so there should be some fun. She left too early last time and had not yet watched the confrontation between the female cultivators of the Yun Sect.
"Everything is ready, in that case, let the game begin."
The referee observed the two men and when he saw that they were ready to fight, he immediately announced the start of the match and left the field.
And these two women took action immediately.
"Fantasy Music: Magical Sounds Lingering in the Air." The female disciple of Ziyun Peak raised her hand, and a magical pipa appeared in her arms. She also floated up and began to play the music.
As the melodies sounded, the purple sound wave power condensed into sound wave clones around Yang Cai. The clones held various weapons in their hands and flew towards Huo Xin.
Almost all the disciples of Ziyun Peak use musical instruments as weapons, and most of their disciples also follow the school of music.
As for the main peak, when Huo Xin saw the opponent's Demonic Sound clone attacking her, she smiled indifferently and pinched her hand seals at the same time. A silver treasure mirror appeared above her head. After the mirror came out, she changed her hand seals and shone a dazzling white light at those clones.
The clone didn't even have time to get close to Huo Xin before it was swallowed up and annihilated by the white light.
This attack made Yang Cai raise her eyebrows. She started to play the song again, but this time, bursts of sound waves shot out from her pipa, and Huo Xin naturally had no intention of taking on these sound waves head-on.
They are all disciples of the Yun Sect and are quite familiar with the skills and techniques of each faction.
While she used her body to dodge the sound waves, she controlled the magic mirror to shoot out white light to attack Yang Cai. However, Yang Cai seemed to have practiced a strange body movement.
At the moment when her body was about to be hit, it turned into purple petals all over the sky and then appeared in another location.
"Dang, dang, dang." Another exploding sound wave fell.
This attack was quite powerful and covered a large area. Huo Xin had no way to dodge and could only take it.
"Power of the mirror·Reflection." Huo Xin pinched the hand seal, and the mirror above her head immediately enlarged and turned into a shield blocking her.
Yang Cai's exploding sound waves hit the mirror straight on, but the next moment, the mirror seemed to have a layer of spring, and actually bounced the opponent's sound waves back in one breath.
Yang Cai watched his weapon being bounced away and could only pluck the pipa strings hard again. Another explosive sound wave blasted down, offsetting the attack.
To offset this attack, a powerful magical storm was generated, and Yang Cai was forced to retreat a distance. However, Huo Xin did not give her the chance to adjust her body. Several white lights, like sunlight, pierced through the energy smoke and blasted towards Yang Cai. Yang Cai could only rely on her body skills to dodge again.
"It seems like there is a fight going on. We can't rely on magic to decide the winner in a short period of time. It's better to fight in close combat first and save our mana." Ye Liuyun said.
She just thought that these women's fights were a bit boring. They kept fighting each other. Wasn't it just a round-based game or a shooting game? If it were her, if long-range attacks didn't work in a short period of time, she would definitely try to get close to the opponent and force them to reveal their flaws.
But her words were immediately criticized by Lin Aoxue.
