Chapter 127: Winning Streak, Elders' Tournament
"Dear audience friends, although it's only been a short while since we last met, for a cultivator like me, it feels like a lifetime! Okay, enough idle chatter. Now, I'll give you a detailed introduction to the rules of our sect's Elders' Tournament."
"You know, even though the number of participants in the Elders Tournament is similar to that of the Disciple Tournament, the competition methods are vastly different. Just now, the Disciple Tournament had so many bizarre and unconventional rules. The main purpose was to properly train those young disciples who are considered the future hope of the sect. After all, they are the backbone of our sect's future development. But now, with the Elders Tournament, things are different. These highly respected elders are the true pillars of our sect, so naturally, there's no need to train them in this way."
Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter, "Oh, I see. I was so excited, thinking I'd see Elder Wang and the others snatching the treasures from the supply box just like us."
At this moment, Ye Yu said softly, "Don't be distracted. Concentrate on listening to what Monk No. 10 is saying about the rules." Before she finished speaking, she tapped Lin Fan's head lightly, then turned her attention back to Monk No. 10 and continued to listen carefully to his speech.
"Because of this, the rules are quite simple and straightforward. The core is a one-on-one individual competition format. However, one of the elders will have to go through two fierce battles, so the final result will be a best-of-five match. From a total of 30 sects, 15 winners will be selected. Afterwards, 15% of these 5 winners will be awarded a bye through a draw. The remaining 14 winners will then compete for a spot in the quarterfinals. The rest of the competition will follow the familiar and traditional format."
After Monk No. 10 finished explaining these words, the entire scene fell silent. No one questioned or disagreed with this rule. Everyone calmly and silently waited for the end of the three-minute countdown.
"Very good, time has already passed. Next, please send a representative from each sect to come to me to draw the opponent and specific time for your sect's first match. The competition will begin immediately!"
As soon as the words of the Tenth Monk fell, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. All the sects responded quickly and sent an elder from their sect to walk forward quickly. The one who went to the Wu Sect was none other than Elder Wang, who was leading the team this time. He was burdened with a heavy responsibility and walked towards the Tenth Monk with steady steps, ready to participate in this crucial drawing ceremony.
Not long after, the opponents and specific match times of the various sects were settled. This information was clearly displayed on the huge stone pillars and was easy to see at a glance. It had to be said that the Wu Sect was really lucky this time, as the opponent they drew was actually the Liefeng Sect, which was also a medium-sized sect.
However, although the two were at the same level, the overall strength of the Fierce Wind Sect was far inferior to that of the Quwu Sect. As expected, in the first three matches, the Quwu Sect advanced triumphantly, winning all the victories without a doubt, and thus smoothly advanced directly to the next round.
Meanwhile, the first round of competition among the other sects quickly concluded. The four major sects, relying on their strong foundations and the outstanding performance of their disciples, all advanced successfully without exception. Furthermore, high-ranking sects like the Zhaixing Pavilion, as well as several other powerful mid-level sects, also emerged victorious in this round of competition, securing their place in the next round.
Immediately afterwards, the 15 sects that had won the first round rushed to the ten cultivators' location to prepare for a new round of drawing lots. Surprisingly, the Quwu Sect, as if blessed by heaven, actually drew a bye! Thus, they advanced seamlessly into the quarterfinals. Even without such good fortune, with the profound cultivation and mastery of Elder Wang and his companions, they surely had a strong chance of victory against the elders of the four major sects.
As time went on, and after another thrilling and exciting round of competition, the complete list of the top eight finally surfaced. Unexpectedly, the powerful opponent that the Quwu Sect would face in the next match was none other than the Lingshu Sect, one of the four renowned sects.
Not long after, the highly anticipated fierce competition between the Quwu Sect and the Lingshu Sect officially kicked off. Elder Wang was as fast as the wind and took the lead in attacking. His moves were extremely sharp and his momentum was like a rainbow.
Although the elder on the opposite side who fought first fought with all his might, he was ultimately no match for Elder Wang's unfathomable skills and was defeated by Elder Wang's series of moves. In this way, Elder Wang easily won the first victory and made a good start for going to Wu Zong.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Suying and Uncle Li appeared on the stage one after another, both of them showing extraordinary strength. Liang Suying's posture was light and her movements were like a dancing fairy, which was dazzling; Uncle Li used an unconventional sword technique, and each sword strike contained endless power.
Faced with such a strong enemy, the two elders of the Lingshu Sect could not turn the tide even if they tried their best, and were defeated by Liang Suying and Uncle Li. So far, the Quwu Sect advanced to the next round with a brilliant record of three wins.
At the same time, the competitions between other sects also came to an end one by one. After a fierce battle, the ones who successfully entered the semi-finals were the other four major sects except the Lingshu Sect and a super dark horse in this event - the Quwu Sect. The opponent of the Quwu Sect in the semi-finals was the Lizhan Sect, and the opponent of the Lantian Sect on the other side became the Zhumei Sect.
It is worth mentioning that the tactical arrangement was changed in the semi-final against Wu Zong. The experienced Elder Wang was no longer allowed to start, but Uncle Li, who had superb swordsmanship, was sent to act as the vanguard.
Uncle Li walked onto the field calmly with a long sword in hand. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through all the flaws of his opponent. As the bell rang, Uncle Li moved like a rabbit in an instant, and the long sword in his hand turned into a cold light and pierced straight into his opponent.
His swordsmanship was as fast as lightning and full of changes, making it impossible for his opponent to defend himself. In a short while, Uncle Li defeated his enemy with his superb swordsmanship and successfully won a crucial point for Qu Wu Zong.
The next to appear was Liang Suying, a female hero equally skilled. From the moment she entered the arena, she unleashed a set of exquisite palm techniques, whistling winds and combining both strength and softness. Her opponent gradually lost the ability to resist her impenetrable offensive and was ultimately forced to concede defeat.
At this moment, Qu Wu Zong has won two games in a row. If he can win one more game, he will be able to enter the finals as he wishes and compete for the supreme championship throne.
