Chapter 272 I think I can skip it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Youran's eyes lit up immediately.

She threw a wad of poison, and the swarm of snakes that had been relentlessly pursuing her immediately lay on the ground, dazed and unable to move.

"Is what Fellow Daoist Jiang saying true?!" Lin Youran's voice rang out, somewhat excited.

As Jiang Chenying killed the snake, he said, "A promise is a promise."

"Since that's the case..." Liang Shimu summoned his natal spirit beast with a backhand, "Let's make our move!"

A beautiful five-tailed white fox suddenly appeared, flicking its tail to intercept the swarm of snakes.

Liang Shimu, along with two other spirit beasts, charged towards Chu Jianyan and her group.

Jiang Chenying and Xie Changyan moved forward, while Lin Youran and Xiao Ke attacked from both sides.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and formed a hand seal, and a green light array lit up.

Despite being outnumbered seven to five, the combined fighting power of Liang Shimu and his group doubled thanks to the healing array.

The chaotic battle was dazzling.

Shen Youqing was not idle either. As a talisman master, his specialty was ranged attacks.

It wasn't that no one tried to eliminate Shen Youqing, but before they could even get close to him, a talisman array was thrown at them.

By the time they managed to dodge, Liang Shimu and the others had also arrived, leaving them no time to spare!
After the chaotic battle, Liang Shimu and his group had fought to their hearts' content.

The elegant and noble five-tailed white fox walked lightly to Shen Youqing, its huge body shrinking considerably.

An elegant and beautiful furry creature is docilely begging to be petted in front of you. Who could resist?
In any case, Shen Youqing cannot.

She cast a healing spell on the group, then asked, "Senior Brother, may I touch your spirit beast?"

Liang Shimu nodded, "Of course."

After receiving permission, Shen Youqing carefully reached out and stroked the soft fur on the white fox's back.

The snow-white cat with purple eyes wagged its tail but didn't say anything.

Lin Youran, who had successfully obtained a large number of points, looked at Jiang Chenying and Xie Changyan, happy but also curious, "Your Qingyu Sect has always been number one, don't you want it this time?"

"There's also a team competition," Jiang Chenying said calmly.

Lin Youran immediately fell silent.

Well, when it comes to the team competition draw, we absolutely cannot let our junior sister participate!

Otherwise, given Junior Sister's luck, she would have been able to draw the Azure Jade Sect in the first round!
"The points for team competitions are ultimately limited," Liang Shimu said calmly.

To be honest, he really couldn't understand Jiang Chenying.

“Blue Iris.” Jiang Chenying looked over, his cold voice sharp and direct, “A sixth-grade spiritual plant is more important than ranking.”

The blue iris has many uses, and it is also a sixth-grade spiritual plant, which is quite rare.

Now that we've come across a sea of ​​blue irises, shouldn't we pick more?

Liang Shimu choked for a moment.

"Senior Brother, your spirit beast has run away." Lin Youran's soft voice drifted over.

Liang Shimu hurried to look for them, and then he saw that all the spirit beasts that hadn't been taken back had run to Shen Youqing's side.

Several fluffy spirit beasts all turned into miniature versions and acted cute and affectionate around Shen Youqing.

"Junior Sister's affability would make becoming a Beast Tamer much easier," Liang Shimu said before continuing to collect Blue Iris flowers.

Shen Youqing happily stroked the few fluffy creatures, "That makes sense!"

The snow-white cat with purple eyes, lying to one side, flicked Shen Youqing's leg with its tail, as if to say, "Isn't having one cat like me enough?"

Shen Youqing casually ruffled the snow crystal purple-eyed cat's hair. "You can't just form a contract with a spirit beast like that."

The miniature snow crystal purple-eyed cat jumped into Shen Youqing's arms and nestled comfortably in her embrace.

The little fox on the side was whining and acting cute.

Shen Youqing, captivated by the adorable fox, promptly picked up the little fox and began to rub it.

Shen Youqing was playing with the spirit beast over there, while the group over here was collecting blue iris flowers.

"So, only two days after the secret realm opened, they're the only ones left inside?"

"Isn't this elimination speed a bit outrageous?" "Shouldn't the eliminations only happen in the last few days?"

"There's nothing we can do. They went in together as soon as they entered, separated for one night, and then met up again."

……

The eliminated disciples didn't leave either; they watched from below the water mirror.

"Fellow Daoist Liang is quite shrewd. I reckon his five-tailed white fox is at least at the Nascent Soul stage." Wen Shiyue looked at the little fox snuggling in Shen Youqing's arms, her tone revealing a hint of seriousness.

Such a powerful spirit beast will be a tough challenge in the team competition!

“That tiger and that wolf are no ordinary creatures either; their strength is at least at the late Golden Core stage,” said Qingya, a fellow Beast Tamer.

Liang Shimu doesn't have many contracted beasts, but each one has an excellent bloodline and strength!

“There’s also a healer,” Wei Ningguang said quietly.

I can't even imagine how difficult the team competition will be!

"The team competition is divided into pairs, trios, and fives," Chu Jianyan said calmly. "Each person can only participate in two events. I just don't know which two events Junior Sister Youqing will choose."

Shen Xingzhi said quietly, "Anyway, none of the ones she participates in are easy to beat."

……

The rest of the time in the secret realm was very uneventful and boring.

The few disciples in the secret realm immediately began collecting blue iris flowers the moment they opened their eyes.

The cultivators outside the water mirror found it utterly boring.

Ten uneventful days passed, and the secret realm ended.

Of course, before the secret realm ended, the four members of the Hehuan Sect fought with the three members of the Qingyu Sect.

However, they were teleported out before a winner could be determined.

"Everyone, get ready. Registration is tomorrow, and the team competition is the day after tomorrow."

……

The clan members left the square and returned to their residences to begin their discussions.

"Two people, three people, five people, what do you mean?" Lin Jinyao asked.

Lin Youran silently raised her hand, "I think I can choose not to participate."

The others all looked at her.

“I’m the weakest,” Lin Youran explained. “I’m not suitable for any group, whether it’s two, three, or five people.”

Her only means of survival is poisoning, but apart from the Azure Dragon Sword Sect, other sects all have alchemists.

Instead of going on the field and holding them back, it's better to cheer them on from the sidelines.

"You should participate in one of them, no matter how high or low," Liang Shimu said earnestly. "Participation is the most important thing."

"..." Lin Youran rolled her eyes speechlessly.

She's had enough!
"Yes," Shen Youqing said, looking at Lin Youran, "Third Senior Sister is very capable!"

Lin Youran was suspicious.

He suspected that his junior sister was just trying to comfort him.

Yang Yousheng suggested, "Why don't you join a three-person group, Third Senior Sister?"

"How about Junior Sister and Senior Brother participate in the doubles and five-person events?" Lin Jinyao suggested. "If they participate in the doubles, they should be able to get first place if they try their best?"

Xiao Ke wanted to volunteer to play a doubles team match with Shen Youqing, but in terms of actual combat strength, he was indeed no match for Liang Shimu.

Next time... in five years, Qingqing probably won't be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, right?
“Isn’t Fifth Junior Brother also in the late Golden Core stage? He can also spar with Junior Sister,” Liang Shimu said. “Why don’t I have a spar with Fifth Junior Brother and see how it goes?”

Shen Youqing lifted the little fox in his arms and said under the gazes of the others, "If you want to win for sure, then Senior Brother and I will play two-player mode."

She and Xiao Ke went to compete, and she could only guarantee a top-three finish.

After all, those who play in doubles matches are usually the senior brothers/sisters of each sect plus a junior brother or sister, so their fighting ability goes without saying!

Liang Shimu fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that his junior sister only has winning and losing on her mind.
