Luo Fan refined the Yuanling Crystal every day and continued to practice.
His physical body is powerful, and the speed of refining Yuanling Crystal is very fast, which is much improved compared to the seventh level of martial arts.
Three Yuanling Crystals can be refined in one day.
Three days ago, Luo Fan refined nine Yuan Jingling spirits.
Another seven days later, after Luo Fan refined a total of thirty Yuanling Crystals, his cultivation level finally improved a small step in the eighth level of martial arts, reaching the mid-eighth level.
There are only a few days left until June 1st.
Luo Fan still had more than ten Yuanling Crystals left in his body, and on the last day of May, they were all refined and absorbed.
June 1st has finally arrived.
Today is the day of the competition between the four sects in Jiangzhou. The competition location is in Jiangzhou City, the Prefectural Mufu.
Early in the morning, the four major sects in Jiangzhou all had Zhendao elders leading the four most outstanding junior disciples to set out for Jiangzhou City.
Xuanyang Sect.
The leader of the sect, Gu Mingqiu, personally led the team, and the leader of the war hall, Yu Zhantian, accompanied him, taking the war hall's spiritual beast, the 'Patterned White-fronted Tiger'. The great elder, Zhao Hongcheng, stayed behind to guard the sect.
The four disciples, Gu Mingqiu took Zhao Longtian, Luo Fan took the big black bull, Yu Zhantian took Yu Wanli, and Pattern Tiger took Zhou Qingshan.
Starting from Xuanyang Sect, it took about an hour and a half and arrived at Jiangzhou City in the middle of the morning.
In the Prefecture Mufu, Jiangzhou Muluo Zhenjiang personally received everyone from the Xuanyang Sect and was led to a pavilion next to the Fuzhong Square.
Gu Mingqiu took the seat, and Yu Zhantian took the second seat. They belong to the same pavilion as Muluo Zhenjiang in Jiangzhou.
Luo Fan and four other younger disciples were located in another pavilion at the bottom.
There was a banquet in the pavilion, where wine, meat and delicious food were entertained. The Xuanyang Sect arrived first and waited in the pavilion for the other three sects to arrive.
When Jiangzhou Mu governs Jiangzhou, he rarely has to deal with the four major sects. Sometimes he encounters some powerful demon warriors and has to ask the four major sects for help.
Therefore, Jiangzhou Muluo Zhenjiang has always been kind and polite to the four major sects.
The Sun Moon Sect, Qingyun Sect, and Tianji Sect arrived one after another within half an hour.
Both the Sun Moon Sect and the Qingyun Sect had their sect leaders personally present, while the Tianji Sect was led by the previous sect leader Bu Wuji, but Wu Kuangzun did not come.
The four major sects have arrived, and the competition between the four sects will naturally begin.
The process of the competition and the list of duels are all arranged by the state pastoral office.
Before making arrangements, each of the four major sects first reported the strongest disciple under one sect.
Xuanyang Sect reported to Luo Fan.
Tianji Sect reported to Wu Tongshen.
Qingyun Sect reported to Mu Feichen.
The Sun Moon Sect reported to Shen Liufang.
As usual, the Prefecture Mufu will not arrange for the four strongest disciples to fight in advance, and the remaining disciples will be arranged randomly.
"The four sects in Jiangzhou are full of outstanding people!"
"I think the students competing this year are at a higher level than they were sixty years ago!"
"I wonder who will win the first place among these four sects? Come... everyone, have a drink!"
When the warriors from the Zhou Mu Mansion arranged the list for the first round of battles, Jiangzhou Mu Luo Zhenjiang picked up his wine glass and said.
The leaders of the four sects drank all the wine in their glasses.
"Lord Zhou Mu, sixty years ago, it was our Sun Moon Sect that won the first place in the competition!"
"Sixty years have passed, and the descendants of my Sun Moon Sect have become more talented. Each generation is better than the last!"
"The name Wu Tongshen has been spread throughout Jiangzhou for a long time, and he is known as the number one among the younger generation in Jiangzhou!"
"Hehe... The first among the four sects in this competition is still our Tianji Sect!"
Bu Wuji smiled, his expression full of confidence, as if the four major competitions were within easy reach.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
"Of the four sects in Jiangzhou, which sect is not better than the next, and it's not just your Tianji sect?"
"Although Wu Tongshen has a great reputation, there are rising stars in every sect."
"Although the cultivation of these rising stars is not as good as Wu Tongshen, their strength is not necessarily inferior!"
“It’s hard to say who will lead this year’s competition among the four sects!”
Gu Mingqiu chuckled lightly and said.
"Based on your Xuanyang Sect, can any of your disciples be better than Wu Tong Shen?"
"Haha... let alone your Xuanyang Sect, looking at the entire four sects in Jiangzhou, which of the younger disciples can compare with Wu Tongshen?"
Bu Wuji sneered, his expression sarcastic.
The heads of the three sects all looked unhappy.
"Come on, come on...drink, drink!"
"Who can win the first place in the four competitions doesn't matter, it has to be done after the competition!"
"As usual, whoever comes first will be awarded a 'True Thunderbolt' by Honshu Mu."
When Jiangzhou Muluo Zhenjiang saw a few people making trouble, he quickly made a toast.
The younger disciples of the four sects were all excited about the 'True Yuan Thunderbolt'.
The True Yuan Thunderbolt Bullet is a one-time use treasure. The power of the explosion is quite lethal to low-level warriors of the True Dao.
The True Yuan Thunderbolt is made from the true Qi of a true Taoist, combined with some materials, and its output is not large.
Moreover, the Dai Viet Dynasty strictly prohibited other forces from refining the True Yuan Thunderbolt Bomb, so this bomb was only owned by the Dai Viet Dynasty and was of extraordinary value.
If a true thunderbolt is thrown, it may injure anyone with the third level of the true way. For the first level of the true way, it can almost kill with one blow.
Those who are powerful in the true way don't care much about such treasures, but the disciples of the younger generation covet them.
While talking, the warriors from the Prefecture Mufu have arranged the list of the eight battles in the first round.
In the first game, Wu Tongshen of the Tianji Sect faced off against Zhang Taiyuan of the Sun and Moon Sect.
In the second game, Xuanyang Sect Luo Fan faced off against Qingyun Sect Mu Xiuyuan.
…
Zhang Taiyuan immediately admitted defeat, and Wu Tongshen advanced to the top eight.
Mu Xiuyuan immediately admitted defeat, and Luo Fan advanced to the top eight.
…
Although there were eight duels in this round, only two or three were actually fought.
When the disciples of Tianji Sect and Sun Moon Sect meet, just like when the disciples of Xuanyang Sect and Qingyun Sect meet, there will always be one person who directly admits defeat.
Obviously, the Tianji Sect and the Sun Moon Sect may have decided in private before the competition.
"The four battles in the second round will determine the top four."
"The first match is between Tianji Sect Wu Tongshen and Xuanyang Sect Zhao Longtian."
"The second game, Xuanyang Sect Luo Fan versus Qingyun Sect Sun Hua."
"The third game, Qingyun Sect Mu Feichen, versus Sun Moon Sect Iron Hero."
"The fourth game, Sun Moon Sect Shen Liufang versus Tianji Sect Bu Yizhen."
In the first game, Zhao Longtian was defeated miserably. Wu Tongshen was extremely ruthless and severely injured Zhao Longtian with just one move.
Wu Tongshen advanced to the semi-finals.
In the second game, Sun Hua immediately admitted defeat and Luo Fan advanced to the semi-finals.
In the third game, Mu Feichen and Qian Yinghao fought, and the winner was determined by just three moves. Tie Yinghao was defeated and vomited blood.
Mu Feichen advanced to the semi-finals.
In the fourth game, Bu Yizhen immediately admitted defeat, and Shen Liufang advanced to the semi-finals.
Wu Tongshen, Luo Fan, Mu Feichen, and Shen Liufang happened to be the four strongest disciples of the four major sects.
Everyone had already expected this.
In previous competitions between the four sects, it was very rare that the strongest disciple of a sect failed to enter the top four.
Among the four strongest disciples, the only one who is somewhat surprising is Luo Fan.
Wu Tongshen, Mu Feichen, and Shen Liufang are all talented juniors who have long been famous, and have reached the ninth level of martial arts.
As for Luo Fan, although he showed his prowess outside the Black Wind Cliff and became famous in the Small Thousand World, his fame is still very small compared with these talented descendants such as Wu Tongshen.
Luo Fan could become the strongest disciple of the Xuanyang Sect, which surprised all the warriors from the Prefecture Mufu, Tianji Sect, and Sun Moon Sect.
