The two had already planned out their script: they would praise the Haoran Sect to the skies, and then, after defeating the Haoran Sect, they would come out and say with feigned surprise.
I thought the Haoran Sect would win easily, but I didn't expect them to lose?
Haoran Sect used to always win, but this year's Disciple are so mediocre.
Waiting for words like this.
They had already begun to simulate the scene in their minds, even imagining Yun Mo's ugly expression later on; just thinking about it made them feel good.
Yun Mo's expression was somewhat unpleasant. If it were in the past, when the Disciple of their Haoran Sect were stronger, these words would have been considered flattery, but now he only felt a deep sense of mockery.
The number of participants in the Three Sect Grand Competition was not very large; each sect only had thirty participants.
Furthermore, the competition is not simply a test of strength; it also includes other challenges, which are divided into three parts.
The first challenge, "Ghostly Shadow Maze," requires escaping the Ghost Forest within a specified time. Su Chen learned that the Ghost Forest is an illusionary Array Formation jointly created by the Three Great Sects.
The second level is the Zhou Tian Secret Realm.
The Secret Realm contains many Demon Beasts, including Demon Beast at the levels of Mortal Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and True Immortal. Different levels of Demon Beast earn different scores, and the top thirty will ultimately advance to the final challenge.
The final stage is a martial arts contest, which continues until someone wins first place.
These Three Sect Grand Competition are quite diverse in terms of the number of events.
Su Chen stood among the Haoran Sect members, a look of interest on his face. This was the first time he had done these things from the perspective of Disciple, a feeling he had never experienced before.
It's like being a billionaire, walking among a group of ordinary people, watching them chat and laugh, while you just stand by and smile silently.
Su Chen was also a participant in the Three Sect Grand Competition. In the previous assessment of participants, Su Chen barely squeezed into the ranks of participants with a score of 28.
In addition, several other people from Qiudao Peak joined.
Although they usually keep a low profile, when it comes to the reputation of their sect, Qiudao Peak is still willing to step forward.
On the surface, the Three Sect Grand Competition appears to be just a simple contest and exchange, but in reality, it is a battle for Fortune, with the winning side naturally possessing greater Fortune.
For example, the reason why Haoran Sect was able to win all the time was because after the Haoran Sect won at the beginning, the rumors Outside World would definitely say that Haoran Sect was the strongest, and those Heavenly Prodigy would naturally be more willing to join Haoran Sect.
This situation had persisted for many years, and the quality of Disciple from both sects had been gradually declining. Unfortunately, this time, a genius unexpectedly emerged from both sects, disrupting everything.
Yun Mo stood up, made a brief statement, and then said loudly:
"The participants stand in the Plaza. I've already explained the rules of the competition, so I won't repeat them here."
Ninety people walked out of the Spectator Stand and then stood in the center of the Plaza.
Yun Mo looked at the two Sect Leader beside him, and the three nodded to each other. Then they began to form hand seals. The ninety people in the Plaza felt the surrounding void begin to distort, and before they could fully react, they felt dizzy.
Spatial Formation!
Su Chen raised an eyebrow; he was quite sensitive to spatial relationships and naturally knew what this was.
After a few breaths, their vision returned to normal. The surrounding trees were pitch black, and the sky was also dark, making the earth appear hazy and giving the Ghost Forest a somewhat eerie and terrifying feel.
Once someone realized what was happening, they immediately ran away into the distance.
But the Ghost Forest seemed endless; no matter how hard he tried, the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, and he was still standing still.
The key to escaping the Ghost Forest is finding the core of the illusion; you can't get out by simply walking through it.
At the very top of the Ghost Forest, there is a countdown timer. Participants need to get out within five hours or they will be considered to have failed. Although the Ghost Forest is challenging, it is not considered very difficult. At least 60% of participants pass through it each time.
Su Chen didn't try to keep a low profile; instead, he broke through the barrier when there was just over an hour left.
The book says that you can't be too low-key.
Being too low-key can backfire, attracting attention instead, but being too conventional will make you the least noticeable.
But this is indeed true. Li Yaoguang of Qiudao Peak is very particular. These are all practical conclusions he came to after trying them himself, and they are very reliable and practical.
In the second round of hunting Demon Beast, Su Chen still barely managed to squeeze into the top thirty.
It is worth mentioning, however, that in previous Three Sect Grand Competition, the Haoran Sect had around fifteen people, while the other two major sects each had seven or eight people. But this time, the Haoran Sect only had six people in the top thirty.
In the Zhou Tian Secret Realm, besides hunting Demon Beast to gain points, you can also steal points from others, so you need to use your wits and courage.
This leads to a situation where if one side is stronger, other sects will have fewer members. After all, the rules are there, and there will always be people who will rob others. So, the stronger side will naturally have more advantages.
Huang Bingyan looked at Yun Mo with some surprise. "What is Sect Master Yun doing? Is he deliberately going easy on us in the second round because our two sects suffered such a crushing defeat before?"
Jinyang Sect Master chimed in, seizing the opportunity, "That's for sure. The Three Sect Grand Competition has always been dominated by the Haoran Sect. Sect Master Yun has such a broad vision; no wonder the Haoran Sect Disciple are so powerful. I admire you."
The two spoke calmly, but the sarcasm was extremely strong. Not only Yun Mo, but also the Elder below looked ugly.
Although I knew these two would be silly, being actually mocked was still a really unpleasant feeling. I felt itchy inside and wanted to hit them.
Some Elder were even getting angry; if they hadn't been held back by those around them, they probably would have argued with the two sect leaders.
However, retaliating now would be even more humiliating, since they were indeed outmatched. Wasn't it the same when Yun Mo went to mock them after their previous defeats?
The two Sect Master gritted their teeth, their eyes blazing with fury, but they didn't utter a single word.
At first, the Jinyang Sect Master was also a bit impatient, feeling that Yun Mo was somewhat hateful. However, after confronting Yun Mo directly said something.
Sometimes, having the courage to admit your shortcomings is beneficial for growth.
Such words were infuriating, and the Jinyang Sect Master was furious.
What goes around comes around, and now it's their Haoran Sect that's suffering. If they dare to get angry and argue back, they'll definitely be met with the same words, and they'll only lose face even more.
It would be better to remain silent and wait for the Three Sect Grand Competition to end. Once they leave, everything will be over.
