Chapter 33 - Outer Sect Competition (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The dining location was a restaurant that was specially built for the sect’s disciples.

The meat used here was from all sorts of mutated beasts and demon beasts. They were very helpful to Gu masters.

Only people with a lot of primeval stones would come here to spend.

When the people inside saw Wan Qian and an unknown man enter the restaurant together and share a private room, they were all stunned.

Nothing special happened during the meal.

Fang Yuan also spoke very seriously about the bottleneck he felt in his cultivation realm.

Wan Qian answered from time to time.

The two of them discussed some areas that even she was confused about.

The meal was quickly finished, and both of them gained a lot.

Wan Qian looked at Fang Yuan with a strange emotion in her eyes. “I didn’t expect that you had just stepped into the tenth layer of Foundation Establishment, but your understanding is unique. I never thought about many things, and the books never mentioned them.”

“Senior’s talent is already very high. To have such achievements at such a young age is one in a million. It’s just that you have less experience in the secular world and don’t have as much experience as me.”

Fang Yuan chuckled. He had lived for two lifetimes and brought all the memories of his previous life with him. His only advantage was that his brain worked quickly and was not limited to the framework of this world.

Wan Qian smiled and gently held her hair. “I have some understanding in my heart and want to go back and enter closed-door cultivation. I might not be able to go to the competition tomorrow. Do your best.”

Fang Yuan cupped his fists to send her off. “Senior, take care.”

Wan Qian looked at him again and waved her hand before leaving the restaurant and walking towards the teleportation array.

In the afternoon, Fang Yuan did not want to cultivate anymore.

He had exhausted too much energy in the past few days and needed to rest urgently.

He returned to the courtyard and slept soundly.

The next day.

The sect competition officially began.

As it was the annual gathering of the Gu Immortal Sect, countless outer sect disciples paid attention to this grand trial every year.

Fang Yuan lined up like in a long line of people, preparing to enter.

On the square, there were rows upon rows of tables.

In the next three days, this was their trial ground.

On the tall sect building in front of them, countless experts came and looked down at the entire place, looking for the disciples they liked.

This was another way to enter the inner sect.

Even if there wasn’t any outstanding performance in the assessment, as long as there was something that they the elders liked, outer sect disciples would be able to get the chance to become the inner sect elders’ true disciples.

Many people were also here to show their strengths, and then find a suitable elder to be their disciple.

As for whether the elders would accept them or not, that was another matter.

The people participating in the grand examination moved forward slowly.

Every disciple who registered and verified their identity would be given a number plate.

With this number plate, they would be able to find the corresponding seats in the square.

Fang Yuan was given a number plate that was marked 15437, which was located in the middle.

This was a place that was very difficult to be noticed by the elders above.

Fang Yuan did not care. He only needed to complete the test to advance to the inner sect.

In front of the square, an old man with a long beard stood out.

“Today is a big day for the Gu Immortal Sect…”

His voice was loud and clear. As he looked at the young disciples, he started to talk about the Gu Immortal Sect’s history and glorious achievements.

Fang Yuan was not interested in listening to these old stories. It was like a school opening ceremony, and that long and stinking speech would only make people sleepy and lose focus.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally heard the old man talk about the content of the competition.

“On the table in front of all of you, there is a box containing an Acid Ant Gu.

“The requirement of the first stage is to tame it, and for the second stage, it is to put it into your acupoints to nurture it.

“One day later, the ranking will be based on the level of nurturing, and all those who have not managed to tame theirs will be eliminated.

“Now, the competition begins!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the tens of thousands of disciples quickly took action and began to use their own methods to subdue their Acid Ant Gu.

Fang Yuan also opened the box in front of him and saw a young ant.
