Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 174 Just do your best, why risk your life?

When Yue Xunzhu arrived, she overheard the two sisters arguing about who would win and who would lose.

Hearing that both sisters thought he would win, he stood next to Shen Youqing and said, "Young Master Xie is also at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, so my chances of winning are only fifty percent."

Shen Youqing turned to look at Yue Xunzhu.

If his brother were simply a sword cultivator, his chances of winning would indeed be only 50%, but he is not a sword cultivator but a healer.

"Don't you want to use the healing array?" Shen Youqing leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

Yue Xunzhu smiled without saying a word.

Whether or not he uses the healing array depends entirely on Xie Changting. If Xie Changting can interrupt it, then of course it can't be used. But if Xie Changting can't interrupt it, then it will naturally be used.

Seeing this, Shen Youqing decisively said to Shen Xingzhi, "I'll bet everything I have on my brother to win!"

Shen Xingzhi raised an eyebrow.

"Shen Quelin versus Jiang Xuan'an!"

Xie Changting and Yue Xunzhu were not the first to step up, but there were more people gathered on the arena than usual.

“Jiang Xuan’an of Lingxiao Sect has a mutated ice spiritual root. Although he is only in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, the ice spiritual root is the natural counter to the fire spiritual root, so his chances of winning are not small.”

"I heard that the young master of the Shen family is already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and he also has the Crimson Flame Sword. It will probably be difficult for Jiang Xuan'an to get into the top three."

……

The advancement of sword cultivators from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the third stage attracted countless disciples, while Shen Qiuluo's side became deserted.

Looking at Shen Quelin on the arena, a cold glint flashed in Shen Qiuluo's eyes.

No problem, she can draw the disciples' attention back!

After exchanging greetings, Shen Quelin and Jiang Xuan'an began their fight on the arena.

Shen Youqing watched with exceptional focus.

Xiao Ke stood quietly behind Shen Youqing, quiet and reserved yet impossible to ignore. He was like the most loyal and reliable beast beside Shen Youqing, silently protecting his master.

Shen Quelin's progress may not be so obvious, but he uses the moves very smoothly and skillfully, and the various moves are connected naturally, which shows that he has been very serious about building a solid foundation during this period.

Shen Youqing knew the outcome of the match after watching for about fifteen minutes.

An hour later, Shen Quelin used a set of sword moves to force Jiang Xuan'an to the edge of the arena, and then swept him off with his last sword strike.

"You flatter me." Shen Quelin sheathed his sword and bowed to Jiang Xuan'an.

Jiang Xuan'an bowed to Shen Quelin and said, "Thank you for your kind offer."

Although he lost, he had a very enjoyable time playing!
Upon first meeting Yan, the four of them surrounded Jiang Xuan'an, offering comfort and encouragement.

Jiang Xuan'an felt helpless looking at his senior and junior brothers who were afraid of being frustrated.

"Shen Xingzhi versus Xie Changyan!"

With encouragement from Shen Youqing, Shen Xingzhi stepped onto the arena.

When Shen Quelin walked over, Shen Youqing gave him a thumbs up and said, "Congratulations, top three!"

Shen Quelin slightly raised his chin, confident and arrogant, "Absolutely."

"You should be humble!" Shen Youqing said seriously.

Shen Quelin raised his hand and patted Shen Youqing on the head, "Why be modest? I earned my reputation through my own strength, one match at a time!"

Shen Youqing shifted his gaze to the two people on the fighting stage.

Xie Changting appeared beside Shen Youqing at some point, his gentle and clear voice ringing out, "Miss Shen, who do you think will win?"

After watching for a while, Shen Youqing said, "My sister is at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, while Xie Changyan is at the middle stage. Logically, my sister should win easily, but Xie Changyan is almost at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. The difference between them is almost negligible, so the outcome of this match is a bit uncertain."

Xie Changting nodded in agreement, his tone still gentle, "They're evenly matched, so it depends on who can find the other's weakness first."

Seeing Xie Changting so calm and composed, Shen Youqing glanced at him twice and then looked away without saying anything.

Having guessed what Shen Youqing was thinking, Xie Changting asked directly, "Miss Shen wants to ask about my competition with Young Master Yue?"

Shen Youqing nodded. "Miss Shen, who do you think should get first place, Young Master Yue or Young Master Shen?" Xie Changting asked instead of answering.

Upon hearing the question, Shen Youqing turned his head to look, his cool voice carrying a hint of teasing, "Is Young Master Xie so certain that he won't make it into the top three?"

"In a competition, just do your best; there's no need to risk your life," Xie Changting said calmly.

It's not worth angering Young Master Yue for the sake of a competition.

"If Young Master Xie has a bit more luck, he'll definitely be in the top three." Shen Youqing turned his gaze back to the arena.

Xie Changting smiled.

"Judging from this situation, Changyan and I may have a competition," Xie Changting said calmly and gently.

The moment Xie Changting finished speaking, Shen Xingzhi suddenly thrust her sword forward twice in quick succession.

Xie Changyan could only defend, and in the gaps in his defense, Shen Xingzhi followed up with a sword formation.

Knowing he was doomed, Xie Changyan didn't try to withstand the sword formation head-on; instead, he quickly jumped off the arena to escape.

"You flatter me!" Shen Xingzhi bowed to Xie Changyan.

Xie Changyan raised his hand in return.

Upon seeing this, Shen Quelin raised an eyebrow.

So, his next matchup will either be against his sister or his brother?
"Keep it up." Shen Youqing raised his hand and patted Shen Quelin on the shoulder.

In the following competitions, without the elders needing to speak, Yue Xunzhu and Xie Changting went up on their own initiative.

At the elder's command, the two men simultaneously raised their hands in a gesture of greeting before making their move.

Yue Xunzhu is not Shen Youqing. He has been practicing the "Ten Thousand Life Technique" since he was a child, and he has developed the ability to create a healing array into muscle memory.

Shen Youqing looked on in amazement as he watched Yue Xunzhu, who was holding a sword in one hand and forming a healing array in the other.

She absolutely must learn how to create healing arrays with one hand!
Making a healing array with one hand is slower than with both hands, and Xie Changting's attacks were blocked by Yue Xunzhu time and time again.

The moment the healing array lit up, Yue Xunzhu instantly switched from defense to offense and thrust her sword forward.

"how?"

Xie Changyan's cold voice rang out.

Jiang Chenying stared intently at the two people on the stage. "I'm not confident I can win."

Neither Yue Xunzhu nor Xie Changting had any confidence in winning.

These two can be described as geniuses among geniuses!
"Young Master Yue is a healer," Xie Changyan's cold voice rang out.

Swordsmanship is merely a secondary skill for this young master, not his primary skill. The fact that he can match his brother's level in swordsmanship demonstrates the terrifying nature of his talent.

Jiang Chenying shook his head slightly to express his feelings, "If he becomes a sword cultivator, his future achievements will only be higher, not lower."

Xie Changyan agreed with this statement.

Lin Youran moved next to Shen Youqing and looked at the two young masters who were so charming on the stage. She sighed, "You two are truly siblings, both so shrewd!"

I simply can't believe how hard Yue Xunzhu usually works!

“I’m not as diligent as I used to be,” Shen Youqing said earnestly.

She's now learned to take a nap and rest, which is so much more leisurely than her previous life!

Lin Youran silently let go of Shen Youqing's arm and walked away.

This is impossible to talk about!

Shen Youqing blinked, and by the time she looked at the arena, the outcome was already decided.

Seeing the long sword in Yue Xunzhu's hand pressed against Xie Changting's neck, Shen Youqing sighed with regret.

"There's a memory stone; you can look at it when you get back," Xiao Ke's clear, deep voice rang in my ears.

Shen Youqing's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Xiao Ke, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Xiao Ke didn't say anything, but silently reached out and grasped Shen Youqing's wrist.
