邪神之道 B1

风剑云

"Xiao Feng good luck."

"Don't feel down we'll be hosting a party for you later regardless of if you win or lose."

"..."

Everyone within the Awakened Corpses Faction that are gathered at the center of the sect didn't feel the slightest bit of joy.

Ye Gui Feng is definitely not one of the top candidates as a disciple to enter the inner sect. He was nothing more than a fodder in the eyes of the participants. No one paid much attention to him and the others from the Awakened Corpses Faction.

There was no stage for the fight to take place. It was a crude method of competition. A crowd form a ring and anyone who had signed up will be called upon to fight by a referee until only ten disciples are left.

These ten are guaranteed a spot in the inner sects but only the top three will gain spirit stones and merit points.

"I'll just go in and lose the first match..."

Ye Gui Feng is not allowed to forfeit otherwise he would be losing face for both himself and his faction so he can only lose by putting up a struggle and make it seem like he had done his best.

Far above the central pavilion of the sect seats the four faction heads, elders, and sect master, Long Xing He.

"Brother Shu you've finally got someone to participate in the inner sect selection have you?"

"Yes but I don't feel like that boy will make it too far..."

Recalling how reluctant Ye Gui Feng had been about participating Elder Shu smiles wryly.

"Hahaha don't be a downer."

Two of the faction heads are woman and the other is a man. Despite Elder Shu's faction holding very little authority in terms of voice here in the sect Elder Shu is never the less respected due to his powerful cultivation base that makes him the third strongest Nascent Soul realm practitioner in the sect.

"Everyone shall we make a bet on who will be first?"

"Fēng Jiàn Yún (风剑云) of Yǔ Xuè Pài (雨血派 Translation: Rainy Blood Faction) is said to already be at the ninth level of Qi Condensation so my stones will be on him."

"Then I bid on Guǐ Líng Líng (鬼灵灵) of Jiǔ Guǐ Pài (九鬼派 Translation: Nine Ghosts Faction)."

Feng Jian Yun and Gui Ling Ling are both outer sect disciples of the Burial Grounds Sect and they have the highest level of cultivation amongst their peers making them the favorable option for entry into the inner sect.

As the elder level figures of the sect converse Ye Gui Feng looks towards the battle that is occurring in front of him with wide eyes.

"..."

Watching the beginning matches proceed where practitioners unleashed powerful strikes against each other caused Ye Gui Feng to flinch as he takes a step back.

"Th-This... This isn't the strength of Qi Condensation is it? If I go up there they'll have my life!"

"Xiao Feng mostly everyone here is at least seven or nine in terms of Qi Condensation level..."

"I'm dead!"

"*Sigh* don't worry they won't kill you. They'll make you bedridden for a few months."

Another disciple of the same faction pats Ye Gui Feng's shoulder with eyes of pity.

"That's the same thing!"

After a total of five matches Ye Gui Feng is finally called up to the center. Those who found out that he was an Awakened Corpses Faction disciple all looked on with eyes of pity or ridicule.
