It's clear from the first two rounds that the Haoran Sect is significantly weaker in this Three Sect Grand Competition.
In the Spectator Stand, Mo Yan, the Senior Disciple Brother Qiudao Peak, looked at Su Chen with a somewhat solemn expression, quite surprised that he had actually passed the second test.
Although Su Chen barely passed the level, having carefully studied the 'Thirty-Six Moves of Low Profile and Three Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Three Details', he found that Su Chen's behavior matched up in many ways.
Could it be... that he's keeping a low profile?
The fact that Su Chen can maintain a low profile shows that his strength is definitely not simple.
Hiss!
Mo Yan became somewhat serious. Others might not think anything of it, but Su Chen clearly had more Trump Cards up his sleeve, and he had indeed misjudged him.
Of the three who initially joined Qiudao Peak, he thought Su Chen would be the most ordinary, but now it seems that this is not the case.
However... they are still a bit lacking when it comes to defeating the Heavenly Prodigy of the Yan Yue Sect and the Jinyang Sect.
Although Su Chen's current strength is not bad and he still has Trump Cards, the Heavenly Prodigy of the two major sects are too outstanding. Unless they have some heaven-defying methods, they are basically unable to defeat him.
That's interesting.
Mo Yan glanced at the people on the field. There were only a few scattered members of the Haoran Sect. He couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that our Haoran Sect is going to lose this time in the Three Sect Grand Competition.
He knew the disciples from Qiudao Peak quite well; their chances of defeating them were not high. As for the Disciple from the other peaks, there was even less to say; it was virtually impossible for them to win.
This year's Disciple of the Haoran Sect were almost completely defeated by the two major sects.
"The final competition of the Three Sect Grand Competition has simple rules: the remaining thirty people will draw lots to choose their opponents, and the top three will ultimately receive generous rewards from all three sects."
Although the reward is generous, it's just a bonus; what people really value is the reputation.
Becoming the champion of the tournament means becoming the Heavenly Prodigy one prodigy of the three sects.
"Now, all contestants, please come up to the stage to draw lots."
As the host's voice rang out, the thirty people walked onto the stage one after another.
Spectator Stand both sides of the Venue, a group of people were also discussing the matter animatedly.
"By the way, who do you think will win this Three Sect Grand Competition?"
"I don't know about that, but the Haoran Sect is definitely finished."
"I agree. In this year's Three Sect Grand Competition Haoran Sect Disciple, neither Pang He from the Yan Yue Sect nor Duan Yunlin from the Jinyang Sect appeared. This immediately widened the gap."
"Haoran Sect has won so many times, it's time for our two sects to win once."
Although the Haoran Sect had won several times before, it was because they were unexpectedly defeated by the Disciple of Qiudao Peak. However, in each previous instance, many people were eliminated in the first two rounds.
But this time it's completely different, so from this point we can judge that the Haoran Sect is really in trouble this time, rather than just keeping a low profile.
The fact that they were able to defeat the Haoran Sect made the Disciple of both sects feel very relaxed. Their words and actions were also calm and composed, completely unlike their previous tense demeanor.
Even the sect leaders of the Yan Yue Sect and Jinyang Sect Master remained calm. At least Haoran Sect would be eliminated this time, and the rest would depend on which of their respective sects' Heavenly Prodigy was stronger.
Soon.
The first round of the competition has begun.
Fifteen people will be eliminated in this round.
The battle lasted for nearly three hours, and the expressions of Yun Mo and the Elder of the Haoran Sect grew increasingly grim. They had not expected that, in just the first round, two Disciples of the Haoran Sect would still be left.
One Su Chen, and the other was another Disciple from Qiudao Peak who had repeated a grade.
This person was from the previous generation. Due to poor aptitude, he focused on consolidating his realm, which is why he remained at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Peak realm. However, although he was also at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Peak realm, if he challenged True Immortal, he could at most defeat a cultivator at the True Immortal Early Stage or close to the Mid-stage.
The Third Elder of the Haoran Sect had an extremely gloomy expression. This time, the Haoran Sect had only left two people, while the remaining thirteen people were from the other two major sects.
Are the Disciple of the Haoran Sect in this cohort really that weak?
Although they had suffered setbacks before, they had never been this miserable. This was the first time they had shown signs of defeat, and it had made the Haoran Sect so embarrassed.
The key question is why both the Yan Yue Sect and the Jinyang Sect had geniuses join this time, but my Haoran Sect didn't. Logically speaking, shouldn't Heavenly Prodigy of this caliber be joining the strongest sect, Haoran Sect?
While calling it the strongest might be an exaggeration, the Haoran Sect is indeed slightly stronger than the other two major sects.
Of course, this "slightly stronger" refers to top-tier combat power.
Some Elder shook their heads and sighed repeatedly.
What a crushing defeat!
Just from the two remaining men, they knew they were likely to lose this time.
Su Chen was panting heavily when he won, looking extremely strained. He was only at the Heavenly Immortal Early Stage, and he couldn't have defeated his opponent without using many strange and unusual methods.
They'll probably be eliminated in the next round.
As for the other Disciple, although his strength is not bad, he can only last one more round at most. If he is unlucky enough to encounter Pang He and Duan Yunlin in advance, he will basically be defeated in the next round.
Why!
The people of the Haoran Sect couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
In contrast, the people from the Yan Yue Sect and Jinyang Sect were radiant, having shaken off their previous dejection. The Jinyang Sect Master even whispered in Yun Mo's ear, giving him a grand and authoritative air.
"Sect Master Yun, it's not that I'm saying anything, but while your Disciple have always been strong, they shouldn't be so arrogant. It's time to recruit some powerful Heavenly Prodigy for your Haoran Sect."
"We must be prepared for unforeseen circumstances, like me, full of passion..."
Yun Mo's face was extremely ugly, but the more he acted like this, the more excited the Jinyang Sect Master became, and he even almost whispered in Yun Mo's ear.
His excited expression made anyone who didn't know better think he'd seen some stunningly beautiful woman.
Huang Bingyan was also very excited, but in order to maintain his persona, he did not mock Jinyang Sect Master like he did, but only occasionally added insult to injury.
"Please draw lots for the second round of the competition."
Upon hearing the voice, the remaining fifteen people stepped forward one after another to draw lots.
"Jinyang Sect Yang Ting will face Huang Kun of the Yan Yue Sect."
"Yan Yue Sect..."
The host's voice continued to ring out, but when he picked up another bamboo slip, his brows furrowed and his expression darkened.
Since the Three Sect Grand Competition is being held at the Haoran Sect, he must be a member of the Haoran Sect. After taking a deep breath, the host said expressionlessly:
"Sun Shan of the Haoran Sect versus Duan Yunlin the Jinyang Sect."
Ah?
As soon as the host's voice rang out, the entire Spectator Stand erupted in cheers; this was exactly what they had been waiting for.
Although there are still two people in the Haoran Sect, Su Chen is too weak. He is only at the Heavenly Immortal Early Stage, and his strength can be completely ignored. Therefore, there is only one person in the entire Haoran Sect who poses a threat.
That was Sun Shan!
What everyone wants to see is the defeat of the strongest member of the Haoran Sect; both sects are extremely eager to defeat the Haoran Sect.
