Double Cultivation
enter the semifinals
After several hours of double cultivating, Sun Jingjing fell asleep on the bed, while Su Yang cultivated the Yin Qi he had gathered.
A while later, Liu Lanzhi knocked on their door and said, "Su Yang, our next match has been announced."
Su Yang stopped cultivating and opened the door.
"Who are we going to fight tomorrow?" Su Yang asked.
"The Guardian Hall of Supervisors."
"Never heard of them." Su Yang casually shrugged his shoulders.
"They are another Elite Sect, but with Sun Jingjing and Fang Zhelan on our side, we don't need to worry about them, as they only have one disciple in the Earth Spirit Realm."
"However, what happens after defeating the Guardian Hall of Supervisors will be problematic, as we will have a great chance to fight either with the Divine Sword Sect or the Blue Cloud Sect."
"While Fang Zhelan might have an advantage in his cultivation base, the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were all veteran fighters with more experience than our own disciples in terms of battles, he said, and that experience might be able to take away our only advantage in terms of our cultivation base" Liu Lanzhi said in despair.
"As for the Blue Cloud Sect .. I don't even want to mention it .." he said.
Su Yang nodded. "Indeed. Although we may have an advantage in terms of cultivation base, our disciples really do not have much experience in battle. However, while those differences can make things a little more difficult for us, I am quite confident in our own students. "
Although he did not mention it to Liu Lanzhi, other than dual cultivation, Su Yang also trained other disciples with their sword techniques, even occasionally sparing with them.
And although it might not be enough to make them into swordsmen, they were definitely on par with the disciples of Divine Sword Sect in terms of their insights with swords, perhaps even superior.
After all, Su Yang was once a famous swordsman before he became a famous playboy, where he would train with swords for hundreds of hours at a time. His experience with swords was not something that any expert or swordsman in the Divine Sword Sect could comprehend, much less compare to.
"By the way, is Sun Jingjing okay? He looked a bit strange after his conversation with his parents." Liu Lanzhi suddenly asked.
Su Yang pointed to Sun Jingjing, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes and said, "As you can see, she is fine."
Seeing Sun Jingjing's peaceful sleeping face, Liu Lanzhi nodded with a relieved expression.
"One more thing .. Don't think I've forgotten about your promise to teach me that technique." Lu Lanzhi said, referring to the technique he taught the disciples before fighting the Burning Lotus Sect.
"I happen to have some spare time now" Su Yang said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go cultivating!" Liu Lanzhi said as he dragged Su Yang away to another room, where they would cultivate until the next day.
The next morning, the Blossom Sect headed to the colosseum as usual, before waiting for their turn to enter the stage.
After the match of the Blue Cloud Sect, it was the Great Sea Cliff versus the Hall of Light Binding with the Hall of Light Binding won.
The Blossom Sect was the next and last fighter for the day.
Disciple Lin Na left first, defeating two opponents before leaving the stage.
The next Blossom Sect disciple to fight was a young woman named Lei Tingje, who managed to defeat one opponent before leaving the stage.
Half an hour later, the Blossom Sect defeated the Guardian Hall of Supervisors, entering the semifinals for the Regional Tournament.
"This concludes the match for today! However, before we all leave this place, allow me to say a few words!" Zi Dong said to everyone.
"First and foremost, congratulations to everyone who has made it into the semifinals! Your achievements are the result of the teachings of your Sect Elders and the efforts of the Sect and its disciples combined."
"Now, as we enter the semifinals tomorrow, the Divine Sword Sect, the champion of the previous Regional Tournament, will finally join us!"
"OOOOOHHHH!"
The crowd exploded with cheers and sheer excitement when the name of the Divine Sword Sect was mentioned, as their status was almost unparalleled in the Eastern Continent.
The Divine Sword Sect had existed for as long as one could remember, and they had always dominated the Regional Tournament by staying in first place since the first tournament.
Furthermore, the Divine Sword Sect was also part of the military power of the Xie Family, so they had the support of the strongest families in the continent. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Divine Sword Sect was only second to the Xie Family.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xie, will now announce the match for tomorrow." Zi Dong said a moment later.
After a moment of silence, Lord Xie spoke, "The Blue Cloud Sect and the Hall of Light Binding will fight in the first match. The Blossom Sect and the Sacred Sword Sect will catch up afterward."
When the spectators heard the fight, they began to speculate whether the Profound Blossom Sect would be able to defeat the Divine Sword Sect or not, because the Blue Cloud Sect would definitely win in their match.
"If it wasn't for Sun Jingjing and Fang Zhelan, the Blossom Sect wouldn't have had a chance against the Divine Sword Sect."
"However, since they had these two geniuses, they might actually have a chance to win."
"I'm willing to bet that the Blossom Sect will win the match tomorrow."
"No way! Although they might have an impressive cultivation base, one could tell from their previous matches that they had no experience. The Divine Sword Sect, on the other hand, were all trained to the extreme by the most qualified swordsmen in this world. The difference was obvious, and the Divine Sword Sect would definitely dominate them."
Unlike before, people no longer underestimated the Blossom Sect. Even so, most of them would still not believe that they could defeat the Divine Sword Sect, the number one Sect in this world in the eyes of many people.
