The day of the competition has arrived. Currently, hundreds of disciples from various sects had gathered in two different places.
One special place for the competition between Spirit Realm level disciples and another place for Earth Realm level disciples.
“Precaution all!” The voice of a middle-aged man sounded in that place. The first part of the competition was located in a strange forest in the Northern part of the Thousand Swords sect.
“The first part competition is a mass fight to collect points in the forest. Inside the forest were many powerful spirit beasts, naturally it would be the target of gathering points. Each of you will be given a special crystal to absorb the core of the spirit beast and then converted into a point. Each spirit beast level will have different points.”
“Hutan has been given a powerful formation that cannot even be broken through by the peak Earth Realm level. The forest is divided into four parts. The rules this time are very simple. The first and second rank in each part of the forest will be the participants for the final round, which means, only eight of you will be the main fighters in this competition.”
“You can give up before entering because the Thousand Swords sect will not compensate you if you die inside there. If you insist on continuing, you must sign the contract.” The elder explained.
All the disciples in that place were just silent as no one objected at all.
“Good. Each of you will receive a point-counting crystal. Each sect would have two disciples in the same place. It aims to give you a chance to cooperate with disciples who come from your sect.”
“Is there a question?” Ask the Elder.
“Can those points be collected from other disciple point counter crystals?” Lin Yan who had been silent opened his voice.
The elder looked at Lin Yan with a smile as his reply would make all the disciples think that this was not just a competition to hunt spirit beasts.
“Yes, of course it can. Also, the crystal you hold has a speciality. This crystal is connected to one another even though you may not be able to trace the location of other crystals.”
“The specialty of this crystal is, you can see whose number of points are highest when channeling qi into the crystal. Also, your points tally will be visible elsewhere outside the forest, each crystal already has a record of yourself so that everything outside will not be confused with the number of points who is the highest.”
“How to take other disciple points is very simple, you only need to snatch the crystal and the qi channeled crystal will automatically absorb points from other crystals if at a distance of 1cm, it will happen about 1 minute for all points to move to another crystal. Which means, you must defeat the enemy first in order to absorb enemy points.”
“That's why I said that you guys might just die in there. You can still change your mind at this time.” The elder explained.
All of the disciples instantly understood that everything inside there was an enemy. Also, the competition this time allowed cooperation between two disciples of the same sect in order for the two to qualify for the final round.
No students commented anymore because everything had been explained.
“And one more thing, if you want to give up, there will be a tool given by the Thousand Swords sect. This is related to the formation we set up inside the forest. If you use that tool, the formation will protect you and you can return to this place by itself, it is necessary to understand that when you use that thing, it will be, you will not be able to use qi again to attack other participants. But this will also protect you from any attack including even the strongest spirit beast in there.”
“I also gave a few words, the protective object to be given could not be stored inside the space ring because it would lose its effect. As for the crystal points, it will lose the connection so you will be considered a failure directly. So keep both things we will give you.” Add the Elder.
No students asked anymore. Everyone just put on a serious face this time.
Then the Elders gave the two things that were said to each disciple.
Lin Yan looked at all the disciples that were in that place. Each sect had eight disciples which meant that around 40 sects were participating in the competition this time around. Which means, every part in one of the forests will be filled by 60 disciples. There is only one ally and the other is the enemy.
After that, the students signed the contract that was provided. Lin Yan who was reading that also knew that this was done so that the Thousand Swords sect could not be prosecuted as it was possible that many disciples from various sects would die.
All the disciples looked at their crystals and found the numbers one, two, three and four.
“Hutan Fourth.” Mumbled Lin Yan and looked towards his older brother who had just been silent.
“Both.” Huan Caiyi said with a sigh.
They both knew that this time they would be separated.
“Alright, an Elder will lead you to the entrance of the formation according to the numbers on your crystal. The competition will be held in three days. Just one thing I will say right now, good luck.” After saying that the elder disappeared.
Four Elders appeared at that place to bring all the disciples to the location of the entrance.
“Be careful, if anything happens, use the formation to surrender,” Lin Yan told Huan Caiyi.
“You too, do not force yourself, Yan'er.” Reply Huan Caiyi and the two separated following the Elder who would lead them to the entrance.
Lin Yan who was walking following the Elder saw a disciple who came from the Heavenly Dragon sect with a ninth stage Spirit Realm cultivation level.
“If not wrong, his name is Meng Tuo!” Inner Lin Yan and knew that everything inside there was an enemy. He had been hunted by them before.
Meng Tuo also glanced towards Lin Yan with a cold gaze. He also smiled viciously because he would certainly not miss the opportunity to clean up Lin Yan because he already knew that Lin Yan had once killed a member of his clan. Meng Yang and Meng Song.
When it reached the entrance, there was a special formation in the place that would send the disciples to different places in an instant.
“This is the best teleportation formation ever and is related to the formation that separates the forest into four parts. You don't need to worry because the formation objects you have will show directions to this place when you use it to surrender.” Said the Elder.
“Collect.” The Elder's orders and for wanting to activate the formation.
All the disciples gathered and the elder made some movements.
Zhong!
The formation was active and made the disciples instantly disappear instantly.
Zhep!
Lin Yan appeared randomly in a certain place. He looked around because he was currently near a beautiful looking waterfall.
Busshhh!
The explosion occurred in a stream not too far from the waterfall.
“Oh? It seems the first target has been seen.” Lin Yan smiled slightly and started hunting down spirit stars first. He was certain that on the third day of this competition, a fight between disciples would be imminent.
