Although Taoist Xuanzhen of the Shushan Sect is in a very complicated mood, Cao Yi, the leader of the Tiandao Alliance, who has lost the first round of competition, is also in a complicated mood. I don't know if I should be happy? Or should I be depressed?
The disciple who lost was a late-stage Nascent Soul disciple, and he was also a very outstanding disciple of their Heavenly Sword Alliance.
Fortunately, the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage are in the same group, so as an outstanding disciple of the late Nascent Soul stage, this disciple occupies the right time and place in this group.
With such a level of cultivation, it should be very easy for him to at least enter the top five, not to mention winning the group championship.
But how could he have imagined that his disciple's first opponent would be the powerful Shushan Sect.
What's more, what he didn't expect was that this Shushan Sect disciple turned out to be Nascent Soul Dzogchen.
Although his disciple's strength is outstanding, even if he encounters the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, he will not be defeated so easily.
But because his strength was still a little weaker after all, he was defeated after repeated persistence.
Originally, considering what Cheng Yu just said, logically speaking, it should be a very happy thing for such an outstanding disciple to lose the competition.
After all, if he loses the competition, Cheng Yu probably won't choose him again.
Since he won't be selected, it is naturally impossible for Cheng Yu to stay in the Cheng family.
Looking at it this way, this should be considered a happy thing.
But thinking about the resources in the grand prize promised by Cheng Yu is indeed very tempting. As long as his disciple ranks in the top ten, even if it is only tenth, the disciple and the sect will receive some very precious rewards.
So from this point of view, he somewhat expected his disciples to perform even better.
Moreover, even if his disciple enters the top ten, he may not be favored by Cheng Yu.
Because judging from the experience of previous competitions, Cheng Yu did not select his disciples based on their performance.
After all, among the top ten in all the competitions over the years, the disciples of the lower sect other than the disciples of the Cheng family have never been selected by the Cheng family at the same time.
Therefore, even if his disciple enters the top ten, he may not be selected by Cheng Yu.
If this is the case, then these resources in the grand prize are completely for nothing.
But like now, he has such potential and such an outstanding disciple was eliminated by Shushan in the first competition, which means that everything has become a delusion.
Not being eliminated means there is still a chance, but being eliminated means that even fantasy becomes a luxury.
In particular, the strength of their Heavenly Sword Alliance is not very strong to begin with, and it is only a third-level sect among all the sects of the Cheng family.
Therefore, among the Jindan Yuanying group, there are only two such outstanding disciples. Although the remaining ones are also qualified to participate, they are all in the realm of the Jindan stage and the early stage of Yuanying.
From this point of view, except for the other remaining disciple, the other disciples have no chance at all.
As for the latter two groups, for a sect with low strength like them, the higher the realm, the fewer the disciples, and the options for selecting outstanding disciples are naturally lower.
After all, there are only a few high-level disciples in total. Regardless of whether they are strong or not, they can all qualify for the competition.
There are often more disciples with lower realms, so the options will be higher. At any rate, you can select some really outstanding disciples from among the many disciples to participate.
Therefore, if they fail to seize the opportunity in the low-level competition, then they will be even less likely to achieve outstanding results in the next two high-level groups.
Without a very outstanding disciple, the chances of the Tiandao Alliance getting rewards will be reduced by at least half. As the leader of an alliance, can he not be depressed?
It has to be said that the first competition in the Jindan Yuanying group is the battle between the late Yuanying and Yuanying Dzogchen, which is definitely very rare.
But for the Cheng family, they really like this situation.
After all, the appearance of such two outstanding contestants in the first game can greatly enhance the atmosphere of the competition, and it can also be said to be a good start for this year's competition.
"I didn't expect the first game to be so exciting. The disciples of Shushan Sect and Tiandao Alliance are both very good. It seems that this year's competition is indeed worth looking forward to!" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"The master of the family is very grateful. We are just throwing ideas out there. I believe there will be more outstanding disciples in the future!" Taoist Xuanzhen couldn't help but feel nervous when he received Cheng Yu's praise. He was worried that Cheng Yu would take a fancy to him now. They were disciples of the Shushan Sect and asked to be taken away, so they immediately said humbly.
"Why should Master Xuanzhen be so humble? The strength of Shushan Sect has been well-known among the major sects for a long time. I heard that Master Xuanzhen is determined to win the championship this time." Yu Lingzi of Tianshan Sect said with a smile.
"Master Yuling's Tianshan sect is much stronger than our Shushan sect, and there are countless talented disciples in the sect. Our Shushan sect is inferior, so how can we win the championship?
Presumably the head of the family will be able to find many suitable disciples in the Tianshan Sect. "Taoist Xuanzhen saw that Yu Lingzi wanted to mess with him at this time, so he immediately counterattacked.
How could he not see Yu Lingzi's thoughts?
He simply wanted Cheng Yu to turn his attention to the Shushan Sect, hoping that Cheng Yu would be able to select more disciples from the Shushan Sect.
In this way, the Tianshan Sect can easily overwhelm the Shushan Sect without any suppression or other means.
But how could he let this guy succeed.
The other party can stumble, doesn't he know how to do it?
And compared to the Shushan Sect, the Tianshan Sect is indeed stronger now.
As for him hiding so many outstanding disciples, but as everyone learned last time, the Tianshan Sect also has many hidden disciples.
Therefore, in this competition, the Tianshan Sect must have many outstanding disciples.
In this matter, he believed that even if the Tianshan Sect had a good relationship with the Cheng family, Cheng Yu would not be too partial in this matter.
And if most of the disciples Cheng Yu selected came from the same force, it would definitely not be justified.
At least this is absolutely unfair to a force.
Therefore, judging from the selection of disciples in previous competitions, the number of disciples selected by the Cheng family from each force is basically the same.
Even if there is a deviation, it will not be too big.
Therefore, it is unrealistic for Yu Lingzi to use this method to suppress their Shushan sect, but he knows that even if Cheng Yu chooses one more disciple from their Shushan sect, it will be a good thing for the Tianshan sect. information.
And he knew that Yu Lingzi wanted to use this method to disgust him.
Of course, one thing that worried him more was that he did not trust the assessment that Cheng Yu himself said.
He was afraid that the Tianshan Sect and the Cheng family had colluded for a long time. Although the Cheng family would choose disciples from the Tianshan Sect in front of everyone, in the end as long as Cheng Yu said that these disciples had not passed, then these disciples could return to the Tianshan Sect. Sent.
But the Cheng family disciples from other sects may not retreat.
So his words were also meant for Cheng Yu, even if his words could help Cheng Yu choose another disciple in the Tianshan Sect, that would be good.
And everyone also knows that Cheng Yu has chosen the disciples of the Tianshan Sect. If all the disciples are left in the Cheng family and the disciples of the Tianshan Sect are released by the Cheng family, then he can also call everyone to come to the Cheng family to ask for help. justice.
Therefore, his counterattack was also very straightforward, and he even directly guided Cheng Yu. There are many outstanding disciples in the Tianshan Sect, and he can choose more disciples in the Tianshan Sect.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, since Yu Lingzi wants to disgust him, he can also disgust the other party, which can be regarded as a lot of balance in his heart.
"If the head of the family really thinks that our Tianshan sect has such a talented disciple who can pass the head of the family's assessment, I don't think it is a bad thing.
I also believe that if a disciple of my Tianshan Sect can become the direct disciple of the family leader, my Tianshan Sect can also gain a lot of glory.
I also think it would be a great honor to contribute to the development of the Cheng family.
So on this matter, I agree with both hands. Is it possible that the head of Xuanzhen is unwilling to contribute to the Cheng family? "Yu Lingzi did not get confused by the Shushan Sect's words, nor did he get angry because of it. Instead, he followed Taoist Xuanzhen's words and lifted himself up.
"When did I say that I am not willing to contribute to the Cheng family? We are all subordinates of the Cheng family. If the head of the family needs it, we, the Shushan sect, are always willing to give whatever we can!" the Shushan sect said angrily.
Words are spoken and deeds are done.
Who knows whether Yu Lingzi's words are true or false? It's hard to tell now anyway, so his words can also be true or false.
When the Cheng family really needs help, who knows when, but the words can be put here first.
Anyway, with Yu Lingzi's words in front, as long as the Tianshan sect dares to do something, there is nothing the Shushan sect dares not to do.
When the other sect leaders saw the overt and covert fighting between the two, they were sweating in their hearts.
They dare not interrupt for fear of getting themselves involved.
Although it is just a matter of words now, what if their sect really needs to donate? There will be no retreat at that time.
So it’s better not to say something too early, and to stay less involved in things that don’t concern you.
“As the head of the family, I am naturally very happy to see that everyone is so enthusiastic about the development of the Cheng family.
As for the selection of disciples, it naturally requires careful observation and strict selection. We will not select more outstanding disciples just because someone has more outstanding disciples, or select fewer outstanding disciples just because someone has fewer outstanding disciples.
There is no requirement to select at least one disciple from each sect, there is no such thing.
But what is certain is that there will definitely not be many people who can be selected by me. So even if there are really sect disciples selected by me, there won't be many of them. "Cheng Yu said to everyone.
