Linjiang Sect, as the top sect of the Red Flame Kingdom, has gathered many geniuses, especially the disciples who have entered the inner sect. Many of them have profound backgrounds and should not be underestimated.
Although he is quite satisfied with his current level in the past few months, he does not think that he can be invincible at the same level with this strength.
"There are only three days left. It is difficult to improve in other aspects."
"I'll refine some talismans to defend against enemies. Maybe they will have miraculous effects in the arena."
.........
Three days later, the cave.
Shen Mo brought the roasted meat to the Lingzang Rat and started today's feeding work.
Then, he looked towards the pavilion.
Today, a person came to Yaqian, his cave.
Cao Ren.
The rookie battle was approaching, and he specially invited him to rush to Yuxutai together.
"It's almost noon, and the rookie battle is about to begin. Let's quickly go to Yuxu Terrace to gather."
"It doesn't hurt to wait a moment."
Shen Mo was not as impatient as him.
Follow the procedures informed by the sect.
This time the rookie battle was held at Yuxutai, and some important figures from the Linjiang Sect came to watch the battle.
When the disciples are summoned, the sun and moon clock specially used in the sect to announce important events will be used.
It's not too late to wait until the bell rings.
"Why don't you look nervous at all?"
Cao Ren was quite surprised to see Shen Mo looking calm and composed.
"There's nothing to be nervous about, it's just a competition."
Shen Mo shrugged: "As long as you go all out, it will be fine. As for the result, we can only leave it to fate."
He is still cautiously optimistic about his own strength and estimates that it will not be difficult to advance to the top ten.
But he won't be too disappointed if it doesn't meet the standards.
After all, he now has the Destiny System by his side. As long as he can survive, he is confident of coming from behind.
"Oh, I'm not as lucky as you..." Cao Ren sighed, "My father didn't pay much attention to my practice before, but since I advanced to the Qi Gathering Realm, I suddenly seem to be a different person. Generally speaking, I was given a death order. This time in the rookie competition, I must advance to the top fifty, and I cannot embarrass my old Cao family."
"But I don't have that ability."
There are often more than two hundred inner disciples participating in the Rookie Competition.
If you want to be among the top 50, you need to win at least two games to have a chance.
This request may be a common thing for Shen Mo.
But Cao Ren didn't have such a deep accumulation as Shen Mo. Among the disciples who had just entered the inner sect, he could barely be considered a middle-to-lower level.
"I have prepared some talismans in the past few days. I may need them when I get to the Yuxu Platform later."
Shen Mo looked at this guy's sad look and took some out of his arms and gave it to him.
"I'll give you some."
"Thanks......"
Cao Ren was overjoyed and deeply moved.
"Why are you thanking me? Our relationship is such that we cannot thank you enough for your kindness."
"When you receive the sect's monthly salary, you can discount these talismans to me according to the market price."
While they were chatting, the bell in Linjiang Sect suddenly rang.
"clang!"
"clang!"
Hong Zhong Da Lu spread throughout the Linjiang Sect's inner gate area.
Immediately following the bell was a vigorous voice.
"The battle for the rookies is about to begin. Newly promoted inner disciples, come to Yuxu Terrace to gather and wait."
"here we go!"
When Shen Mo and Cao Ren heard the voice, they immediately set off and headed to Yuxu Terrace with their swords.
.........
In front of the Yuxu stage.
A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe stood proudly.
This person is Elder Chu Chen of Linjiang Sect who is responsible for inner affairs.
This rookie battle is hosted by him.
Behind Elder Chu, there was a party ascending the high platform.
The location of the high platform is perfect. Sitting there, you can overlook the entire field and have a panoramic view of Yuxu Terrace. It is where the elders of the division watch the battle.
The climbing platform is divided into three major areas. People from the three peaks of Rising Sun, Bright Moon and Stars live in each area.
At this moment, many people have gathered in the stands of various peaks.
The three leaders are Tang Lu, the leader of Rising Sun Peak, Yuan Jing, the leader of Mingyue Peak, and Zhou Shili, the leader of Star Peak.
The three of them are at the half-step Yuan Dan realm.
He is a real big shot in Linjiang Sect.
Except for the Supreme Elders, who are headmasters and Shenlong, Linjiang Sect is their world.
This rookie competition is also a grand event for the three major peak masters to draw fresh blood and select talents.
In addition to the presence of the peak masters, some elders from each peak, including some interested peak disciples, were also watching from behind the stands.
Of course, the strong ones from each peak are not the only ones who can watch the battle.
Some of the inner sects of casual cultivators who have not been able to join the various peaks can also watch the battle of rookies and check out this year's new geniuses.
But there won’t be such an excellent location as the high platform left for them.
These people could only stand very far outside the venue and watch silently.
Although the environment was not very good, the enthusiasm of the disciples within the sect could not be concealed. As soon as the call for new inner disciples was announced, there were many inner disciples inside and outside Yuxu Terrace, forming a circle around the place.
Among the spectators, some came to watch the excitement, and some were friends or relatives who participated in the battle of rookies and came to cheer them on.
Among them were Cao Shanyue, Chen An and others.
"Shen Mo, behave well."
When Shen Mo and Cao Ren arrived at the scene and entered Yuxu Terrace, Chen An was far away and waved to him.
"kindness."
When Shen Mo saw him coming to watch the battle, his heart warmed and he nodded.
Cao Ren, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw his father supervising the battle.
He was afraid that he would show off his strength later and be scolded by his father, so he could only silently say the immortal blessing in his heart.
Shen Mo and Cao Ren were among the earlier ones to arrive.
After joining the ranks, there is still an endless stream of new inner disciples coming to Fei Dun.
There was a lot of chatter and noise in the room.
Shen Mo stood in the team, waiting for Elder Chu Chen, who was presiding over the rookie battle, to announce the start of the competition. He also pricked up his ears and listened to the many comments in the field.
"This group of newly promoted inner disciples is truly a star-studded group. It is much more lively than the previous two. I believe this competition among the rookies will be quite fierce."
"Yes, Lu Xu, Xu Longxiang, and Liu Qing are well-known figures among the peripheral disciples, and they have all been promoted this year."
"Who do you think will win the first place in this year's rookie battle?"
"It's hard to say. It might be an upset, and it's not necessarily a dark horse."
"That's right. There are two hundred new inner disciples. There will definitely be some less famous but powerful guys."
Lu Xu, Xu Longxiang, Liu Qing?
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and carefully browsed through the memory of the original owner, feeling vaguely impressed by these names.
These people mentioned by everyone are all influential figures among the peripheral disciples.
After all, someone who can spread his reputation to the inner sect at the outer disciple stage is definitely the best among the best.
However, although Shen Mo had heard of these people's names, he had never really come into contact with them.
It's not a circle.
When the original master was in the peripheral disciple stage, he was always a transparent figure and had no chance to make friends with these geniuses.
After time travel, he was busy practicing and never had much interaction with other peripheral disciples.
"Today, let's see how much the elite among these peripheral disciples weigh."
This is the first time that Shen Mo has participated in a competition among disciples within the sect after traveling for so long.
There wasn’t much fear or hesitation, but more of a sense of excitement that was eager to try.
He felt more and more comfortable with the world.
