Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 87: First round of competition, Lin Chen enters
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples in the square began to discuss.

"Hiss~ This year's rewards seem to be more generous than ever before!"

"This is a mid-grade foundation-building pill, which cannot be bought in the market for even 2,000 spirit stones!"

"Unfortunately, I am only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, so I have no hope of winning first place in the competition..."

Lin Chen looked at the excited disciples around him, all of whom looked eager to try.

"First place in the Changchun Sect competition, this reward is quite generous..."

Lin Chen also thought to himself.

The first place in the competition will receive several rewards totaling probably three to five thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, to ensure fairness, the sect set up four arenas.

There are four people who won first place in the competition.

Apart from the fierce competition among outer disciples, the competition among inner disciples is actually not that fierce.

Just like the one Lin Chen participated in, it was a competition for people under five years old.

Representatives were sent by each peak, totaling 32 disciples.

Most of their strengths are between the sixth and ninth levels of Qi Refining.

As long as you stand out among the thirty-two disciples and become the first in the competition, you will receive generous rewards.

"However, compared to the previous batch of disciples, they still have a considerable advantage..."

Lin Chen looked towards a group of young men in disciple uniforms not far away.

Most of them are around eighteen or nineteen years old, and their cultivation is in the late stage of Qi Refining.

There are even one or two people with outstanding qualifications who are almost at the perfection of Qi Refining.

Compared with new disciples like Lin Chen, the previous batch of disciples practiced for three more years.

Whether it is the profoundness of one's cultivation or the mastery of magic techniques, there are undoubtedly many advantages.

Just as Lin Chen was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Lin Chen, this time in the sect competition... I will defeat you head-on!"

Lin Chen looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Li Zhenqian.

"Friend Li..."

Lin Chen was halfway through his speech when he suddenly froze. He saw Li Zhenqian's appearance clearly.

She has a thin figure and her hair is messy and draped behind her head.

Her face was extremely pale, with only the area around her eyes being dark, as if she had put on smoky makeup.

"Uh, Fellow Daoist Li, have you gone too far in your practice?"

Lin Chen asked tentatively.

It's no wonder he's suspicious, because Li Zhenqian looks like a demon cultivator who practices magic.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Zhen opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his words back.

He just snorted coldly and said:

"Lin Chen, I will definitely defeat you, see you in the finals!"

After saying that, he turned around, thinking he was very knowledgeable, leaving Lin Chen with the back of his head.

After a moment, when he turned around, Lin Chen was nowhere to be seen.

A flash of anger appeared in Li Zhenqian's eyes.

"Damn it, do you still look down on me... After this time, I will let you know who is the sect's number one genius!"

There was a hint of confidence in the depths of Li Zhenqian's eyes.

After being hit repeatedly by Lin Chen, he regrouped, couldn't sleep at night, and practiced day and night.

During this period, he studied refining equipment, making pills, and setting up battle arrays, wishing he could split a day into forty-eight hours.

And he finally entered the eighth level of Qi Refining a few days ago.

This speed of cultivation is terrifying among the new generation of disciples.

Even those disciples who entered the sect three years earlier may not have as high a level of cultivation as him.

So we have to say that human potential is truly endless.

Especially for a cultivator with true spiritual roots like him, if he sets his mind to practice, his cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds.

……

On the other side, Lin Chen didn't care about Li Zhenqian.

For him, whether or not he gets first place in the competition depends solely on his mood.

"Hello, I am participating in this sect competition on behalf of Danfeng." Lin Chen handed over the disciple token and registered with the elder.

"Danfeng disciples, you haven't participated in the competition for more than ten years... It's new to send you this year!"

After the elder in charge of the competition registered, he asked Lin Chen to draw a number plate.

The number is thirty-two, and according to the rules he has to fight against the disciple who draws thirty-one.

After the numbers are drawn, there is a long waiting time.

Number 32, ranked last, Lin Chen is the disciple in the last group to compete.

"This competition has officially begun!"

Following the sect leader's order, the operation proceeded in full swing.

Lin Chen stood below the arena, observing the competition between the disciples on the arena.

Fire-inducing technique, water element technique, wood entanglement...

All kinds of fancy magic techniques emerged one after another, and five-colored light burst out on the arena.

After watching for a while, Lin Chen commented:

"For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, the most practical technique is the weapon control technique!"

"The Five Elements spell consumes more energy and has limited power. Its effect during the Qi Refining Stage is far less immediate than that of the Imperial Weapon Attack..."

At present, Lin Chen does not master many techniques.

He never bites off more than he can chew, he only seeks perfection.

The Wood Hidden Art has been perfected by Lin Chen.

Under the cover, as long as Lin Chen does not burst out his cultivation with all his strength, even a Jindan stage cultivator will not be able to see through it.

The art of spirit control is as easy as waving one's arm for Lin Chen, and it is the method he is best at.

In addition, Lin Chen has also mastered the Yin Wood Power and Rejuvenation Technique, and can unleash considerable power.

While Lin Chen was constantly thinking, the results of more than ten competitions had already been decided.

Not surprisingly, the winners were all students from the older class.

The few new disciples who had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining were all defeated.

"The next match will be between Disciple No. 23 and Disciple No. 24..."

After the elder’s announcement, Li Zhenqian jumped onto the stage.

His opponent was a senior brother who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Judging from his cultivation level, he was already close to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Lin Chen originally thought that Li Zhenqian would be easily defeated, but he didn't expect that this kid really had something.

Relying on the technique of earth stabbing, he reversed the situation at the critical moment and turned defeat into victory.

“Tsk tsk, he is a true spiritual root cultivator after all…it makes sense that his spells are more powerful!”

Lin Chen thought to himself.

"The winner is No. 24 Li Zhenqian!" The voice of the elder came from the stage.

After winning, Li Zhenqian did not rush to step down.

He stared at Lin Chen under the tree, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Lin Chen, I will defeat you! I will be the one who wins first place in the competition!"

Li Zhenqian's voice was loud, and all the disciples and elders in the square looked at him sideways.

There were also a few more gazes on Lin Chen in the distance.

"Then Li Zhenqian is the only true spiritual root cultivator this year? Then who is Lin Chen?"

"He is a Danfeng disciple, the first one in this class to enter the Qi Refining Stage."

"Tsk tsk, it looks like there's a lot of grudge between these two junior brothers!"

"However, getting first place in the competition is too self-important! In the past few decades, no disciple has been able to get first place in the competition in the first year of his entry!"

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Chen looked at Li Zhenqian on the stage again, his eyes already somewhat resentful.

"On my first day, my master told me that if a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it..."

"Damn it, I just wanted to win first place in the competition... Now everyone in the sect has noticed it."

Lin Chen thought helplessly.

Disciples in the Qi Refining Stage cannot fight for long.

Soon, the elder on the stage announced.

"The last match of the first round, Disciple No. 32 versus Disciple No. 31..."
