Chapter 285 No one can have an easy time
Seeing Shen Xingzhi's worried look, Shen Youqing's face showed a hint of curiosity.

“The Hehuan Sect has consistently ranked last among the five sects,” Shen Wuye said to Shen Youqing. “Sometimes, the scores of other sects can even surpass those of the Hehuan Sect.”

Shen Youqing gently stroked the little fox in his arms. "So?"

"This score is related to the sect rankings, and the top five sects are the Five Sects," Xiao Ke said to Shen Youqing. "Many sects are eyeing the Hehuan Sect."

The scores of the other four sects were almost precipitous compared to the other sects.

Those sects, unable to surpass the other four sects, set their sights on the Hehuan Sect, which consistently ranked last.

"You have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze," Shen Quelin said to Shen Youqing. "Based on past scores, your Hehuan Sect is the easiest to manipulate, but!"

Shen Youqing tilted his head and looked at Shen Quelin.

“Your team score is outrageous,” Shen Quelin said, pointing to the water mirror not far away. “Currently, the Azure Dragon Sword Sect is at the bottom of the standings.”

Shen Xingzhi glanced at Shen Quelin with a longing look.

Some things don't need to be said!
Shen Quelin coughed lightly, then said to Shen Youqing, "Because we need to re-select the five sects, the individual scores in this singles competition are also quite important."

Shen Youqing pointed to himself and said, "So I have to be careful not to get sniped when I play solo?"

Shen Quelin nodded.

“Jinjin, you are indeed the easiest target to snipe, after all, your cultivation is only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm,” Yue Xunzhu said unhurriedly.

To be on the safe side, it would be best for Jinjin to break through to the late Golden Core stage before the individual competition.

But in doing so, Jinjin's breakthrough speed would be too conspicuous.

"I'm not afraid of cultivators in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, but I am afraid of those at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm." Shen Youqing stroked the fox repeatedly, his gaze darkening.

Professional singles matches are alright, but the most troublesome ones are probably the free-for-all singles matches.

"The rules for this free-for-all singles competition have been changed at the last minute," Jiang Chenying's cold voice came.

Shen Youqing looked over.

How come she didn't know?
"The Five Sects are still discussing with the other sects, and the announcement should be made tomorrow," Xiao Ke said to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing turned his head to look over.

It's understandable that Xiao Ke knew, but how did Jiang Chenying know?
Under Shen Youqing's curious gaze, Xie Changyan asked, "Didn't Sect Leader Hua say?"

"Huh?" Shen Youqing was stunned.

Xiao Ke spoke up, "Did Sect Leader Zhang tell you?"

Chi Guyuan nodded.

Xiao Ke withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Youqing.

The two saw the words "unreliable master" in each other's eyes.

“I heard my father mention it once,” Shen Wuye’s gentle voice rang out. He said to Shen Youqing, “The changes to the individual free-for-all arena are quite significant. Previously, there were a number of times you could refuse challenges from others, but this time that’s no longer possible. Once you refuse, it’s considered an admission of defeat.”

Shen Youqing: ?

What is she asking?!
Are they going to make her sleep on the ring for the singles match?!

“There is also a limit to the number of matches each person can play each day: five for Foundation Establishment cultivators and eight for Golden Core cultivators. Once the daily limit is reached, no one can be challenged,” Shen Wuye added.

"Only eight matches a day?" Shen Youqing closed his eyes. "Doesn't that mean we have to play the knockout stage every day?"

Shen Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh.

"Who came up with such an absurd rule?" Jiang Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Shen Quelin coughed lightly, not daring to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke seemed to have guessed what was going on.

"Master?" The clear voice carried a hint of speculation.

Jiang Chenying nodded and said in a cold voice, "It's not good to follow the old rules for the individual competition when other sects proposed it at the beginning."

"To put it bluntly, they don't want us to win easily," Xie Changyan's icy voice rang out.

Shen Youqing spoke softly, "So Master just told everyone to have a bad time?"

Jiang Chenying nodded. Shen Youqing raised her hand and wiped her face.

As expected of a beautiful master!
If we don't want them to have an easy time, then we'll just flip the table and make sure no one has an easy time.

but!

Couldn't our beautiful master possibly consider the lives of her own sect's disciples?
Xiao Ke reached out and wrapped his arm around Shen Youqing's waist.

With support, Shen Youqing relaxed and leaned back, then sighed and said, "Although Master's approach was very good, but..."

"The elimination rounds have been extended by five days, from ten days to half a month," Qi Bumian said calmly. "It's alright, it's just half a month on the arena, you've done it before."

To be honest, how did Sect Leader Hua manage to get Master and the others to agree to his proposal?
Are we all really just going to give up on life?

If the little fox in his hand were his own spirit beast, Shen Youqing would have already picked it up and smashed it over there.

Seeing Shen Youqing leaning against Xiao Ke's chest, a dark glint flashed in Shen Wuye's eyes.

"Registration for the individual competition starts tomorrow afternoon," Shen Wuye said thoughtfully. "This individual competition is much more difficult; I'm wondering whether I should go."

According to this rule, he wanted to conserve his strength for the aristocratic family conference.

After all, he participated in the individual competition as a rogue cultivator.

Shen Xingzhi looked over and said seriously, "Don't go!"

Jiang Zhi and the others looked at their senior sister with curiosity.

“He is a sword cultivator, starting from the late stage of the Golden Core realm,” Shen Xingzhi and her junior brothers said.

Simply put, Shen Wuye is their formidable opponent in the individual competition!

"Anyway, I'm participating as a talisman master." Shen Youqing shook his head smugly.

Shen Xingzhi glared at him and threatened, "Youqing, if you keep doing this, I'll send you to the free-for-all revival match!"

Shen Youqing behaved himself and dared not be naughty anymore.

Shen Wuye pondered seriously.

“Brother, you may go if you wish,” Shen Quelin said calmly. “Although the rules are more difficult, it will not do you any harm.”

Shen Wuye is rarely seen at the Shen family home, and many people who don't know him well are unaware that he is the eldest son of the Shen family.

Prior to this, he had not participated in any major competitions.

Now that the Five Sects Conference is being held, he can attend and let people get to know him.

Shen Wuye looked over.

"Brother, you should be at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage by now, right?" Shen Quelin asked. "It shouldn't be a problem for you to break into the top ten. You can recruit a batch of disciples for the Shen family then."

Shen Youqing straightened up slightly and began to think.

Shen Qiuluo has already been disqualified from the competition. If her brother doesn't participate, then it will only be her and her sister.

Both she and her sister have a sect behind them.

If the Shen family wants to demonstrate its strength and heritage, having the elder brother participate is indeed the best choice.

Shen Wuye looked at Shen Quelin, who was much younger than him, and said, "Young Master is right."

Shen Quelin has already said so much, the singles competition is now unavoidable.

"I pray I don't run into my brother during the chaos!" Shen Youqing said seriously. "And my sister! And the disciples of the Qingyu Sect! Oh, except for Jing Liang!"

Jing Liang: ?
What, you think he's so easy to beat?
Qi Bumian suppressed a laugh and patted his fifth junior brother on the shoulder.

Seeing Jing Liang's gaze, Shen Youqing said smugly, "Hey, don't even think about challenging me, or you'll have to go to the revival round!"

Jing Liang turned to his senior brothers and pleaded, "Please help me beat her up!"

Jiang Chenying gave him a helpless look, "I don't want to play in the revival match either."

Xie Changyan raised his hand and patted his junior brother on the shoulder, "Work hard in your cultivation and fight back yourself."

"Keep it up!" Chi Guyuan encouraged.

The scenery is cool and the portrait hangs.
