The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3644 The Temptation of "Carrots"
Half a month passed by in a flash.

The Sword Soul Sect and the other four sects had already gathered at the agreed-upon location. Three of the Sword Soul Sect's saints remained behind, with only Chen Wuji and one other saint serving as their representatives.

Lin Chen stood beside Chen Wuji, with An Wenwei and Gao Yu standing beside him.

It must be said that although there are many saints in the Celestial Realm, their strength varies greatly.

Of the thirteen saints of the Wolong Sect, the most powerful is An Wenwei, who originally belonged to the Yingyue Sect. His strength is first-rate and quite formidable at this level, given that he has a major lineage and is a follower of the Creation God, having received the cultivation techniques passed down by the Creation God.

Lei Yu is slightly inferior to An Wenwei, barely reaching the first-class level. However, in this chaotic and disorderly Sixth District, his strength is already quite formidable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold onto his territory for so long on his own.

If he didn't have the ability, Lin Chen wouldn't have given him the position of deputy sect leader.

Without any further ado, the five factions immediately began drawing lots.

Because there is an odd number of factions, one faction will be left out and directly enter the top three. Simply put, it will be a free pass to the top three.

Chen Wuji stepped forward to draw a lot. When he drew the lot, his eyes widened and he showed an expression of disbelief.

Lin Chen burst out laughing when he saw Chen Wuji's expression.

Did I get a bye?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a surprised expression.

Soon, the results reported from above confirmed Lin Chen's conjecture.

"Sword Soul Sect gets a bye!"

When Chen Wuji returned to the group, everyone in the Sword Soul Sect was naturally overjoyed.

Although there aren't many people competing, each fight still consumes a lot of spiritual energy. If they fight continuously, they will be at a disadvantage. However, if they send out weaker people, they will be eliminated if they lose. In other words, they have to send out their strongest people for each fight and give it their all.

This fighting style puts a sect's overall strength to the test. Unless you have an overwhelmingly powerful expert, it's difficult to win all three rounds of battle.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You're lucky."

Chen Wuji replied, "Yes, we're lucky, we can avoid fighting one more match."

Lin Chen asked, "If we make it into the top three, and it's still an odd number, will we have to draw lots again?"

Chen Wuji replied, "I want to smoke."

Lin Chen looked at Chen Wuji in surprise: "A team that got a bye in the first round can get a bye in the second round?"

Chen Wuji replied, "Yes, as long as we are lucky enough. However, we will not have the right to draw lots in the second round. The first winning team will draw lots to see who they draw."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "So that means there's still a possibility of getting a bye?"

"Yes."

Chen Wuji looked on with anticipation: "Although it would be more reasonable to have a bye in the first round and not a bye in the second round, everyone seems to think that luck is also a part of strength."

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Does everyone hope to be that lucky one?"

Chen Wuji nodded: "Yes, we've already had a bye in one round. If we have another bye, then they'll probably be the ones envying us."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I would really like to see that happen."

The first two rounds of competition didn't last long before a winner was decided, with two forces unwillingly eliminated. Gao Yu looked at the competition in the sky and curled his lip, saying, "Even if they didn't get a bye, I could win if I went up. Looks like they're not any experts."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "The less we fight, the better. It's good to save energy. You can participate in the second round, and Lao An can participate in the third round. Isn't that perfect? ​​Just don't lose!"

Gao Yu said confidently, "Don't worry, even if I'm forced to unleash my potential, I will still win."

Everyone in the Wolong Sect knew that Lin Chen was looking for three medicinal herbs, and that he attached great importance to them. In Lin Chen's words, this was the most important thing on his list.

Although they didn't quite understand what Lin Chen wanted to do with the medicinal herbs, since it was something Lin Chen needed, the many saints belonging to the Wolong Sect would naturally help.

After the Wolong Sect was established, Lin Chen hung a carrot on the head of everyone.

The cultivation methods practiced by these saints varied greatly, but none of them were top-tier techniques or supernatural powers. However, the Creator God had many techniques and supernatural powers. Although there were only three kinds of supreme-grade techniques, there were many kinds of top-grade techniques.

Normally, a sage cannot become a god. Therefore, a sage's goal is to cultivate the most powerful techniques and supernatural abilities to become the most supreme sage.

This is similar to going to university. Everyone goes to university, but some go to junior college, some to university, some to 211 universities, and some to 985 universities. There are different levels.

When Lin Chen named several top-grade cultivation techniques or supernatural abilities, everyone in the Wolong Sect's eyes turned red.

Who wouldn't want to cultivate better techniques and gain better supernatural powers?
They couldn't figure out Lin Chen's background, but the fact that Lin Chen could command four saints with the strength of a newly ascended saint, and could also produce top-grade cultivation techniques, made these people automatically fill in the blanks about Lin Chen's origins.

Regardless of their inner thoughts, the allure of these cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities has made the entire Wolong Sect very united and cohesive.

The first round of the competition ended quickly, and the draw for the second round began.

This time, Chen Wuji was not eligible to draw lots; he could only stand aside and watch.

When the first winning sect representative drew one of the other two slips, he glared at Chen Wuji and swore under his breath.

Chen Wuji's eyes lit up immediately.

No way?
When the signed slip was made public, there was an uproar below.

Sword Soul Sect gets a bye again!
The disciples of the Sword Soul Sect cheered, while members of other factions cursed angrily, with some even shouting that the competition rules were unfair and demanding a redraw.

The rules were set beforehand and agreed upon by all five forces. They couldn't possibly go back on their word. Besides, the Sword Soul Sect only had a bye; they hadn't won yet.

Although the Sword Soul Sect has five Saints, they do not have any members with extremely strong individual combat power. Even if they make it to the final round, won't they still lose?

Chen Wuji happily returned to Lin Chen's side. Lin Chen glanced at Gao Yu and smiled, "You don't need to unleash your potential anymore. Leave this last match to Lao An."

Gao Yu was very unhappy. He wanted to fight, after all, today was to help Lin Chen win the Seven-Colored Lotus Dew. If he fought and won, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

If you accumulate enough merits, wouldn't you be able to exchange them for a top-tier cultivation technique or supernatural power that suits you?

Unfortunately, because he was given a bye, he didn't even get a chance to shoot.

Although he wanted to make one last move, he also knew that An Wenwei was much stronger than him, so it was safest for him to make the move.

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he watched Lei Yu's performance.

With the lure of the "carrot," these people are truly full of motivation.
