C504 Embarrassment
Of course, more people were not discussing about Qin Shaojie's power, but rather, why would he not directly pass the first round with his strength? Of course, no matter what, they could not think of the reason why Qin Shaojie was not gifted enough.
Seizing the opportunity while he was resting in Gu Jingyun's courtyard, Qin Shaojie had also attempted to gather some information regarding Chen Yuner from Gu Jingyun's mouth, and even wanted to find an opportunity to see Chen Yuner. Unfortunately, not even Gu Jingyun was clear about the news regarding Chen Yuner, and as for the so-called idea of finding Chen Yuner, it was directly dispelled by Gu Jingyun.
This Chen Yuner was the pavilion master's precious daughter, how could ordinary people so easily come into contact with his? Forget about Qin Shaojie only had Earthly Yuan Late Stage, even life and death realm would find it hard to get close to him.
With regards to this, Qin Shaojie had no choice but to give up. He started to study how to help the Seventh Elder deal with the injuries on his body. Right now, inside the Purple Phoenix Pavilion, Qin Shaojie needed some helpers. Otherwise, if something really happened and someone still stood on his side, it was clear that he had placed this hope on Seventh Elder.
Taking a step back, the favor of a Spirit Stage Ranker could not be described as simple.
On the next day, as soon as the sky brightened, Gu Jingyun brought Qin Shaojie and the myrtle to the other arena area in Zi Phoenix City, where the young disciples were sparring in the arena. The third stage today was confirmed last night by the elders of the Purple Phoenix Pavilion, and this method was the most primitive and crude one, which was that before sunset, the last ten disciples that were left on the stage would become the deciding victor.
To change the rules at the last minute, could it be that something happened?
On the way, Qin Shaojie also slightly frowned his brows. He had clearly remembered that the third stage of the examination had always been able to pass the examination, and the ten people who completed the mission the fastest and the least, were the winners. However, now it seemed that the rules had changed.
I'm not sure either, this is only a temporary rule, and today the Third Elder is personally supervising the battle.
Gu Jingyun was clearly not very clear about this, there were some things that they shouldn't ask, and only needed to execute. Moreover, there was no need to pass the trial. Using such a primitive and direct method would allow them to better witness the strength of these disciples from the outside world.
Seeing that, Qin Shaojie was rather helpless, regardless of any test, it did not affect him much.
Yesterday, he had already heard from Gu Jingyun that a total of thirty-four people had passed the second stage. However, there were not many people who could pose a threat to Qin Shaojie within the camp, after all, many of them had only endured through the third move. And from Gu Jingyun's mouth, Qin Shaojie had more or less heard an important piece of news, which was that the disciples here were not the most core disciples of the twenty-fourth sect, and some sects even made the young geniuses of the empire take action. Even those who personally sent out their disciples, were definitely not the strongest experts, and the relatively average disciples, were not the strongest, but they were not bad either, and were of the type that would not lose too much face if they did so.
Qin Shaojie also understood this way. No matter what the reason was, they did not want their sect's greatest trump card to be revealed.
After all, this was said to be a spar with the Purple Phoenix Pavilion s, but unfortunately, the Purple Phoenix Pavilion was not a power of the omphalos s, so there was not much competition. Aside from that, the omphalos s had their own sect competition every so often, and it was the right time for them to enter the sect competition. After all, none of them were willing to reveal their trump cards, or else other sects would be put in a bad position if they found out.
Furthermore, they were all smart people. Although they did not know why Purple Phoenix Pavilion was paying attention to them this time, with the subtle relationship between Purple Phoenix Pavilion and himself, they would not put so much effort into the matter of Purple Phoenix Pavilion. Sending people over was just a matter of face, but if they were to be too attentive, it would cause the omphalos to be displeased.
The omphalos was very clear on the strength of the 24 sects, and the Purple Phoenix Pavilion was indeed inferior, to the extent that many sects could not compare to him. However, compared to the entire omphalos, they still did not feel that the Purple Phoenix Pavilion had much of a chance.
While he was deep in thought along the way, Qin Shaojie unknowingly arrived at the Purple Phoenix Pavilion's Challenge Area. There were currently ten stages placed on top of them, and every stage was wrapped with energy barrier s, to the point that it was even thicker and more stable than the Heavenly Phoenix Altar.
Everyone must be familiar with the rules, as they did not see anyone asking questions on their own.
At this time, the surrounding tens of thousands of Purple Phoenix Pavilion's people had already gathered. These people's eyes were shining, and it had to be said that the second stage yesterday truly did not hold any attraction for them, and they even felt somewhat bored. The situation today should be much better in their eyes.
That person is Third Elder Lu Qi, one of the strongest warriors in Purple Phoenix Pavilion.
Pointing at an elderly floating in the sky, Gu Jingyun also spoke in a low voice. When he mentioned the Third Elder, his face was also filled with reverence. It had to be said that the Third Elder was an extremely powerful existence, one that even the Pavilion Master had to pay attention to. One could imagine how important he was in the entire Purple Phoenix Pavilion.
He was clearly standing in the air, but he could not feel his presence. It gave off a faintly discernible feeling. It seemed that this person was even more powerful than Seventh Elder.
The elders were all people of Spirit Stage or maybe even stronger, and there was also the chairman, the pavilion master, and even the elders. This Purple Phoenix Pavilion was way more powerful than the current Nether Sect, at least on the surface, it was several times more powerful than the current Nether Sect!
In a short three thousand years, the Purple Phoenix Pavilion was able to reach such a level, it was truly unimaginable!
The battle was over. The result would be decided by the ten people standing on the stage. However, the number of challenges a person could issue could not exceed three!
Finally, Third Elder Lu Qi slowly spoke up. His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly. Then, they saw ten disciples enter the arena first. As their Qi spread, their bodies began to tense up.
Everyone only had three chances to challenge the boss, but their defense wasn't one of them. The first person to enter the arena would have one more chance.
These people were smart.
It was a pity that without sufficient strength here, everything would have been for naught.
Seeing that these ten people could not be considered strong, and several of them were even at the early stage of Earth Origin Stage, these disciples probably only went up there to brush up on their existence.
Sure enough, not long after, the entire challenge had begun, and the first one to lose was that early stage Earth Origin Stage disciple.
Lord Cang Mang and Master Gu, please wait. I am only going up to try my luck.
Seeing that, Qin Shaojie's hands started to itch, he immediately saw that there was no one challenging the stage, he stepped on the air, like a wild goose, he also instantly appeared on the stage.
I am Qin Shaojie, please advise!
The young disciple opposite him was also at the middle stage of the Earth Origin Stage, and under the dense fluctuations of profound energy, the aura on his body constantly expanded. However, when he saw Qin Shaojie, his expression slightly fluctuated;
His gaze fell on Qin Shaojie's body and started to size him up, but in the end he clenched his teeth and bit his lips.
Just when Qin Shaojie thought that the other party was going to attack him, he saw that this disciple did not even give a single move; with a leap, he decisively left from the stage.
He had met Qin Shaojie yesterday, and the strength of his fleshly body was precisely that of the middle stage Earth Origin Stage expert who was enough to force back the Purple Phoenix Pavilion. How could he fight with such strength? If one of them was careless, Qin Shaojie would cripple them. They would not even have the chance to fight in the later stages of the battle!
Since that was the case, he might as well give up earlier. At the very least, he would be able to preserve his life. He might even be able to pick up any loopholes in the other arenas.
As for Qin Shaojie, whoever felt that they had the ability to fight Qin Shaojie, they would definitely give up.
Seeing that the other party was acting like this, Qin Shaojie did not expect it, and many people from Zhou also turned their attention to him, but when they saw Qin Shaojie, many of them sighed, it seemed that his luck was bad. As for those who did not know about Qin Shaojie, one or two of them were at a loss, obviously not clear about what had happened.
He sat cross-legged on the stage alone. After waiting for around fifteen minutes, there was still no one who dared to challenge him. This made Qin Shaojie feel extremely awkward and bored.
However, things did not go according to his wishes. Those disciples seemed to have heard about the power of Qin Shaojie, so how could they be willing to fight with Qin Shaojie today?
Today, their goal was to enter the top ten. They wouldn't fight to the death here.
Of course, those who were weaker were even less willing to provoke Qin Shaojie.
In such a situation, a rather strange situation occurred in the entire competition.
That was because there were battles on the other nine stages. However, Qin Shaojie's place was empty and was extremely quiet. If he knew about this, he wouldn't have released his aura yesterday.
And Gu Jingyun and the myrtle below did not anticipate such a situation. Fortunately, it was not a bad situation.
Maybe the only one who was unhappy was Qin Shaojie. After all, he was being watched by so many people, yet he was being ignored by these disciples. It was unknown whether he was happy or worried.
The battle with the more than thirty people lasted for a long time, specially because Qin Shaojie had occupied a spot and no one was challenging him, causing the other stages to become extremely intense.
After approximately two hours, there were still no changes to Qin Shaojie's position, but he noticed that there were no longer any attempts from the other two arenas. In the battle just now, even though the auras emanating from the two stages were merely at the peak of the middle stage of the Earth Origin Stage, Qin Shaojie was able to tell what was strange about them with his sharp eyes.
Those two were probably hiding their strength.
If his guess was not wrong, those two should also be at Earthly Yuan Late Stage.
After all, it was extremely difficult for ordinary empires and dynasties to nurture an existence with Earthly Yuan Late Stage under the age of twenty.
Besides these three arenas, the other seven were in an intense battle. Some people were severely injured, but they were still unwilling to give up!
With regards to this, Qin Shaojie could only shake his head, even if they entered into the top ten, they would still not be able to compete with them.
As for the two young men on the two stages, they also looked towards Qin Shaojie from the corner of their eyes. The depths of their eyes slightly trembled, but no one knew what they were thinking.
At sunset, the third trial finally ended.
Some people were happy while others were sad.
However, everyone knew that once the dust settled and all three views came to an end, the top ten would be born!
And the true focus of the battle was soon to come, and that was to spar with the Purple Phoenix Pavilion!
