"It's normal for you to have such doubts, but...it's also reasonable."
Luo Shaobai explained: "There are only three colleges in total that can participate in the Immortal Ascension Competition. If only three people are selected from each of the three colleges, wouldn't it mean that... only nine people will participate?
Is there a grand competition for immortality?"
"Well...that's true."
Qin Dong thought about it and felt that it was the same.
If only three people are selected from each college, wouldn't the number of people... be too few?
"The rules of this world are often fair, at least on the surface!"
Later, Luo Shaobai added: "The reason why three people are selected from each college is, firstly, to confirm their qualifications to participate in the Immortal Ascension Competition, and secondly, to qualify for the finals..."
"Qualification for the finals? What's going on?" Qin Dong said in shock.
"It's very simple."
Luo Shaobai continued: "As the name suggests, this pre-qualification for the finals allows the three of us to enter the finals directly without having to go through heavy screening from the beginning. After all, if we fight against others from the very beginning, by the end
, wouldn’t it mean that there is not much Yuanli left and cannot exert its full strength? After all, the power that the elixir can restore is limited after all!”
"I see."
After hearing this, Qin Dong finally understood why this qualification for the finals was so important.
The truth is not complicated, but very crude and simple.
That is:
At the Immortal Ascension Competition, Qin Dong, Luo Shaobai, and the three young men in white did not have to fight against those ordinary disciples, but could directly enter the finals for a duel.
This kind of rule seems to be a bit troublesome, but in fact, it effectively protects these top geniuses and prevents them from losing their strength.
For the sake of fairness, the academy will not block the upward path of low-level disciples and allow them to be qualified to compete on the stage. However, there are very few who can reach the finals. Even if there are, most of those who enter the finals will
Being directly brushed off by these top geniuses.
After all, from the very beginning, among the colleges, those who have not obtained the 'qualification for the finals' naturally cannot be at the top of the same level. At most, they are close. In other words, the major colleges compete for the next immortal promotion competition.
Just make preparations and let those with potential learn some combat experience.
In short, the existence of the Ascension Competition is not just to compete for the Ascension Order, but also has various undercurrents, but in the end... you still have to rely on your own hard power to speak for itself.
In order to further make Qin Dong realize the danger of this battle, Luo Shaobai did not forget to remind him: "The man in white is the descendant of Tian Jue Sword. He has assassination sword skills and killing sword skills. It is extraordinary. I heard that
A year ago, when he was training in the world, he had already killed two powerful men in the Heavenly Soul Realm..."
"The successor of Tianjue Sword? Have you killed two powerful men in the Heavenly Soul Realm?"
Qin Dong's face changed slightly. At this moment, he finally realized why this young man in white looked down on him. There was always a trace of contempt in his eyes. It turned out that he seemed to have no mountains and no leaks, but in fact he had such
Fierce strength?
Also, Qin Dong just killed a Heavenly Soul Realm expert, and the opponent was still at the elementary level, which did not represent a real Heavenly Soul Realm powerhouse. And the other party... killed two Heavenly Soul Realm powerhouses. No wonder the other party dared to do so.
Ignoring my own qualifications, it turns out that I am very confident.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you this person's name. His name is Xuanyuan Qiye!"
Luo Shaobai reminded again.
"Xuanyuan Qiye!"
Qin Dong muttered silently and memorized the name. If he reaches the Immortal Competition, even the same sects will fight with all their strength. If he doesn't alert him early, if he loses, he will be in trouble.
.
The deeper he practiced, the more Qin Dong understood that there were many things in this world that he had never expected, and he was not the only one who had received great opportunities and inheritance.
The Xuanyuan Qiye in front of me happens to be the best proof.
Tian Jue Sword is an ancient and mysterious force in the Holy Empire. When it rose, it swept the entire empire like a storm. Later, it caused public outrage because of its terrifying sword skills and cruelty and murderousness.
, was suppressed by the empire, besieged by major families, and finally disappeared into the dust of history...
But there is no doubt that Tian Jue Sword is definitely a terrifying and chilling swordsmanship. Many people who have seen it are basically dead. If it hadn't been for the most powerful person who took action back then, otherwise Tian Jue Sword would not have been possible.
The first lineage is definitely comparable to the swordsmanship giants of Huangji Daofu.
Now, Tian Jue Sword has reappeared in the world and has become the top genius in Huangji Taoist Palace. This is definitely a disaster for the entire Immortal Ascension Competition.
Therefore, even Luo Shaobai did not dare to be careless at all. Instead, he listed 'Xuanyuan Qiye' as his number one competitor, but completely ignored Qin Dong.
"Okay, let's stop this matter. Those geniuses above the Immortal Competition can fight across levels and defeat the powerful ones in the Heavenly Soul Realm. It can be said that there are many geniuses above them.
And if you can't do this, what qualifications do you have to become a monster?!"
Smiling, Luo Shaobai also showed a very open-minded look on his face. What's more, he himself is a monster, so why should he gain other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige?
"Brother Luo is right. The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Besides, there are three Immortal Ascension Orders in total. As long as you get into the top three, that will be enough."
Qin Dong nodded and agreed, but he did not reveal his strength, nor did he tell Luo Shaobai that even if he destroyed the ancestor of the Ye family at that time, he did not use all his strength, not to mention that now, his strength has increased.
It has improved a lot, not to mention firmly ranking in the top three, but self-protection... there is absolutely no problem.
"You two, I wonder what you just said... was it me?"
Just as the two were encouraging each other, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Dong and Luo Shaobai turned around almost subconsciously, and then they saw a young man in white walking over with a smile but not a smile.
Who else could it be if it wasn’t Xuanyuan Qiye?
"Xuanyuan Qiye!"
Luo Shaobai's expression changed, but he did not take a step back. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "The Immortal Ascension Competition is about to be held. Let's chat for a few words. It shouldn't have any impact on you, right? Could it be that you have cultivated the Tian Jue Sword?"
Are people going to keep to themselves and not tolerate even a trace of discussion?"
"Haha, it's okay to discuss it, but... are you worthy of discussing this Holy Son?"
Xuanyuan Qiye stared at Luo Shaobai coldly, his tone full of contempt, and said.
As for Qin Dong? He simply ignored him.
"What? You!"
Just one sentence made Luo Shaobai blush with anger. You must know that in the Huangji Taoist Palace, he is also a saint son. The other party does not take him in his eyes. It is obvious that he thinks highly of himself and thinks that Luo Shaobai is very proud.
The level of Shaobai and Qin Dong is too low and they are not worthy of being compared with them.
Whether one can become a Holy Son may be decided by the Council of Elders, but... Among the Holy Sons, there are also strong and weak, high and low. Xuanyuan Qiye said this to make it clear that he despises him.
Two.
"What? Luo Shaobai, look at your angry look, you seem to be still unconvinced?"
Xuanyuan Qiye flicked his fingers and said more fiercely: "You claim to be the number one genius in the Huangji Dao Palace, but you can't even defeat a junior. Now you can qualify for the finals. I really don't know those old guys in the Elders' House.
Are you old fools, so you took advantage of me? Anyway, at the Immortal Ascension Competition, you will soon reveal your true colors, and then we will just show you the real thing."
After saying this, he seemed to have no interest in talking nonsense to Luo Shaobai. He turned and walked away without even looking at Qin Dong, as if talking to two rubbish would lower his status.
"Damn it! This bastard is just too much!"
Luo Shaobai was so angry that he was shaking all over, but unfortunately he was halfway up the road and the dean was present. Otherwise, he would have to fight Xuanyuan Qiye desperately.
Seeing Xuanyuan Qiye being so arrogant, Qin Dong's face darkened and he was actually aroused.
In fact, he didn't care whether the other party thought highly of him, but for Xuanyuan Qiye to humiliate Luo Shaobai in front of him was a bit too much.
No matter what, we are all from the same school, and we should support each other when we go out.
Qin Dong also looked down on someone like Xuanyuan Qiye, who would be humiliated by all his disciples.
"Very good, since you are so arrogant, let's see the true chapter when we get to the Immortal Competition!" Qin Dong said silently in his heart, and completely remembered this Xuanyuan Qiye.
