Li Nanting nodded and said softly.
"This custom of martial arts competition among hundreds of sects has been passed down in the Northern Territory for thousands of years."
"There are countless sects in the entire Northern Territory, big and small, but only these one hundred sects can be invited."
"Each sect only has ten places."
Li Guanqi said with some confusion after hearing this.
"With so many sects, a thousand disciples will participate."
"This competition is too grand."
The old man smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Yes, this is a grand event."
"And according to their ranking, as long as an individual enters the top 100, the reward will be richer."
"The prizes for the competition were personally provided by Long Qu, the Heavenly King of the Northern Territory!"
"The sect where the first fifty disciples belong will receive many benefits."
Hearing this, Li Guanqi just remained silent, he knew very well.
In a competition like this, the more generous the rewards, the more intense the competition.
Li Guanqi looked at Gu Ran beside him and asked softly: "Senior Sister Gu, did Daxia Sword Sect also attend last time?"
Gu Ran's expression changed several times, and finally he said truthfully: "I'm going."
"What was your best ranking last time?"
Li Nanting said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Ahem...the best result is ranking eighty-sixth..."
After the words fell, several people's faces looked a little embarrassed.
"Uh... isn't this just the bottom of the pile!!"
Although Li Guanqi had been prepared for it, he never expected that his ranking would be so low.
Then the second elder Xu Zhengjie said softly: "Be generous, there is nothing to be embarrassed to admit."
"In the last hundred sect competition, Daxia Sword Sect's performance was at the bottom."
"But going forward three years, when your master led the team, Daxia Sword Sect was ranked thirty-ninth!"
Li Guanqi looked at the old man in surprise, while Li Nanting waved his hand.
"Why are you talking about those old things? Just don't mention what happened back then."
Xu Zhengjie nodded slightly, looked at the two of them with gratified eyes and said softly: "This time, I finally got a place for you two."
"Not to mention watching chess, he has shown amazing talent in swordsmanship since he started practicing Taoism."
"In actual combat, we have experienced several life-and-death crises, and we are much sharper against the enemy."
Having said this, the old man turned to look at Gu Ran and said softly: "Although you damn girl has great talent, you are too weak in actual combat."
"Why are you studying that magic spell all day long? I don't have many magic spells for you to use, hey..."
Then the old man said in a deep voice: "The place where the Hundred Sects Competition will be held this time is at Tianyu Pass in the Northern Territory."
"There is only one month left. During this month, you must improve your strength as much as possible."
"Strive to get a good ranking and get more resources for the sect."
Listening to the old man's message, both of them felt that the burden on them was a little heavy.
At this time, Li Nanting said softly: "There is no need to put so much pressure on them, just let nature take its course."
"The ranking of the sect is determined based on the duel points of the disciples in the sect."
"It's not just the two of them."
Speaking of this, Li Nanting waved his hand and said: "The quota should be determined in the next two days."
"When you have time, you two go to the Library Pavilion on Tianzhu Peak and pick out suitable secret books of exercises. You will not be charged any points this time."
"And I will open the bookstore in the back mountain for you, so seize this opportunity."
After a brief explanation, the two of them withdrew.
Before leaving, Gu Ran asked Li Guanqi to meet at Tianzhu Peak tomorrow morning.
Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, then flew towards Yuhu Peak with his sword.
Sure enough, when he came back, Ye Feng and others were already waiting for him.
Da da!
As soon as Li Guanqi landed, he looked at the people and said softly: "Have you all received the news too?"
Ye Feng and others looked at each other and nodded.
Zhong Lin spoke softly: "The next three days will be the selection competition for quotas within the sect."
"I didn't expect that there would be hundreds of sects participating in the competition."
Even the honest and honest Lin Dong scratched his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "If it counts that way, I seem to have a chance."
Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Huh? Does Dongzi also have a chance?"
"Aren't these ten places chosen from the disciples in the late stage of foundation establishment?"
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't know?"
"Among the ten quotas this time, there are four disciples in the early stage of foundation building."
“Three in the mid-term and three in the late-stage.”
After hearing this, Li Guanqi pondered for a long time.
"If that's the case...will the sect master's close disciple, our senior brother Wu Bing, also participate?"
Lin Dong, who is also a disciple of Tiantu Peak, shook his head and said: "The participants in this competition are all foundation-building disciples of the sect."
"Senior Brother Wu has just broken through to the Golden Core Realm not long ago and is no longer able to participate."
Li Guanqi was also shocked when he heard this. When he first started, he heard that Wu Bing was only in the middle stage of foundation building.
The other party actually broke through one after another in such a short period of time, breaking through the shackles of foundation building and becoming a golden elixir stage monk.
"He is worthy of being accepted as a closed disciple by the sect master. This talent is really not weak..."
Li Guanqi looked at everyone and smiled slightly.
"Since everyone has a chance, let's fight for it. Then we will all participate in this competition together!"
After the words fell, there was something more in everyone's eyes.
Then Li Guanqi said softly: "In the next time, you should work hard to get the sect's quota to play."
"I will go to Tianzhu Peak early tomorrow morning. When I come back, I may go to Daqian Waterfall behind Qianfeng Mountain."
"If you have any questions about the way of swordsmanship, just come and ask me. Let's work hard together!"
As he spoke, Li Guanqi slowly stretched out his fist.
The other three people also slowly stretched out their fists. Their fists collided with each other, and their eyes gradually became firm.
Soon, the news of the Hundred Sects Competition spread throughout the Northern Territory.
For a time, countless monks rushed to Tianyu Pass with their swords. After all, this was a rare event.
Regardless of whether they are sects participating in the competition or not, there are many people who want to see the proud men among these sects and join in the fun.
And Li Guanqi also learned from his master about the strongest sects in this competition.
"The Great Xia Territory is divided into four continents, namely Qingyun, Lingxu, Cangwu, and Xuanming."
"The four continents are separated by endless dangerous seas."
Li Guanqi, who closed his eyes and concentrated, recalled the information he received from his master.
"The top forces in Qingyun Continent are called the Three Sects and Six Halls."
"And there are only Ziyang Palace and Xuanmen Palace in the Northern Territory. Ziyang Palace is stronger among the two."
