Chapter 127 Worrying in Vain
Lightning still lingered in the sky, carrying a faint sense of danger. The rocks had been split open, scattering rubble all over the ground.
The key issue is the oppressive atmosphere everywhere right now, which is really worrying.
"Junior Sister!" Feng Yue rushed to Tao Tao and shielded her behind him, staring warily at the lightning in mid-air. However, he overlooked the terrifying aura emanating from the Ice Lightning Sword in Tao Tao's hand.
"Senior Brother Yue, I'm fine." Tao Tao smiled awkwardly. She had only wanted to test the power, but she didn't expect it to cause such a commotion and make her senior brothers and sisters worry. She felt quite bad about it.
Hearing that she was alright, Feng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and turned to her, saying, "Let's get out of here first. That lightning is no ordinary thing..."
As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at the Ice Lightning Sword in Tao Tao's hand. Seeing that the aura emanating from the Ice Lightning Sword was the same as the lightning in the sky, he roughly guessed what had happened. He couldn't help but ask with a wry smile, "Did you cause that lightning?"
Tao Tao scratched his head, nodded a little embarrassedly, "I just wanted to test its power, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
"Let's test its power..."
The other senior brothers and sisters sighed in disbelief, but they knew how terrifying it was from the destructive power it had. Moreover, she hadn't even taken it seriously yet; she was just testing it out. If they were to actually fight, the power she would unleash would be unimaginable.
Feng Yue was also stumped. He was originally concerned about Tao Tao, but it turned out that she had created this mess herself. What a blunder!
"Are you preparing for the martial arts tournament?" Feng Yue twitched her lips and quickly changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.
Tao Tao nodded. "Yes, I'm preparing to participate in the Class C martial arts competition tomorrow, so I'm cultivating right now."
"Tomorrow?" Feng Yue frowned slightly, then after thinking for a moment, suddenly asked, "Shouldn't it be today?"
"Huh? No way!" Tao Tao had forgotten about the time because she was refining those demonic beasts. Now she couldn't care less about that. She had to hurry up and register, or she would miss it. She hurriedly said to Feng Yue, "Senior Brother Yue, I'm going to register first. If I miss it, I'll have to wait several days!"
Moreover, she still needs to catch up with the other people's points; the gap of just a few days is unimaginable.
Seeing Tao Tao leave in a hurry, Feng Yue was both amused and exasperated. She glanced at the other junior brothers and sisters, shook her head, and said, "Everyone, go away. Our little junior sister is very capable. We don't need to worry about her at all."
"It looks like our Immortal Spirit Valley should be able to get a lot of points this time. I originally thought that Junior Sister wasn't interested in this, but luckily she's very motivated."
"Don't get your hopes up too high. Her interest comes and goes quickly. As long as our Immortal Spirit Valley doesn't come in last, that's fine."
"That's true, it's always the same, everyone's used to it."
……
Registration for the Class C martial arts arena is nearing its end. There aren't many participants this time, only about a hundred. The rest either advanced, stayed in the smaller arena because they felt it offered more freedom, or went to participate in the lower-level arena, since it's easier to get points there than in Class C.
Those with low cultivation levels certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to go to a C-level realm as cannon fodder; that would just be giving away points to others.
This process effectively filters out many participants, leaving only those with considerable cultivation levels. Stronger participants naturally make the event more interesting, and it also provides an opportunity for various sects to showcase their strength. The more participants a sect or school has, the stronger it is considered to be.
"Senior brother, senior brother, I want to sign up!" Tao Tao rushed to the registration place without even having time to read the rules. However, the rules for the martial arts competition were actually very simple: just win against your opponent. But the competition was just for friendly sparring and could not result in death, otherwise, you would be severely punished.
The senior student in charge of registration glanced down at her and reminded her, "This is a Class C martial arts arena. You need 500 points to enter, and then you have to pay a registration fee of 30 points. As for the number of matches, they are arranged according to each person's cultivation level."
There is no cross-level competition in the Class C arena, but that may not be the case in the next two matches. Therefore, Tao Tao will almost never encounter Ye Lan in this match.
"I know, this is a points card." Tao Tao took out the points card and handed it to the senior brother. The other party was a little surprised, not expecting that she had actually come to participate in the Class C competition.
After checking the points and deducting over thirty points, the senior brother handed Tao Tao a token. "Alright, go wait in the main hall. If you're lucky, you'll participate in your first martial arts competition today."
"Thank you, senior brother." Tao Tao accepted the gift in a soft and sweet voice and walked towards the main hall.
The hall was packed with people, all disciples waiting to compete. These disciples came from various sects, some even from families of cultivators, and they were all anxiously waiting for their turn to enter the arena.
In the center of the hall is a jade-white stone wall, which is glowing and showing the order of appearance for this competition. You can also check when you will appear by using the token given at the entrance.
Tao Tao went over and checked. Goodness, there were only three matches left before it was her turn. The schedule was pretty fast, but for her, the faster the better. As for her opponent, according to the information, he was a disciple of the Tiangang Sect named Li Kuo, whose cultivation level was similar to Tao Tao's.
There was definitely no other information, and she wasn't interested. Whoever it was, she'd just hit him first.
After finishing the check, Tao Tao found a place to sit down and rest. Just as he was about to close his eyes and relax, he heard people whispering next to him.
"I just caught a glimpse of the opponent she was investigating. It's you, Senior Brother Li. I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You're a pushover right away. I reckon you can take care of it in no time."
"Whether they are spineless or not can only be determined by the competition. The disciples participating in this martial arts tournament are all quite strong, so they cannot be underestimated."
"It's not that I underestimate her, but she seems mediocre and probably doesn't have much ability."
"I hope so. After all, she's a girl, so I'll go easy on her."
"..."
Tao Tao has excellent hearing and heard everything clearly. She didn't expect that the other side would start talking about her before the fight even started. Someone like her would probably be looked down upon.
Of course, it wasn't just those few people; others did the same. After learning their opponent's name, they started asking around for information about him, and even used points to buy it. After all, when the strengths are evenly matched, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
"Junior sister, are you alone?" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from beside her. Her voice sounded very gentle, and at the same time, a little shy. Tao Tao opened her eyes suspiciously and looked at the person in front of her.
Judging from her clothes, she should be a disciple of Fuyun Mountain. I wonder why she came to me.
Tao Tao nodded. "Yes, I'm alone right now."
"That's perfect. I'm alone too. Let's get to know each other so we can look out for each other. My name is Bai Lu. What's yours?"
"Happy and carefree".
"I've heard of you. Many people are trying to find out about you. Junior Sister Yue, you'd better be careful to avoid being targeted."
"Watching me?" Tao Tao tilted his head, then grinned. "Don't worry, Senior Sister, watching me won't do any good."
"You don't know that the arena behind is full of backstabbing and intrigue. They are eager to get more points, and people like us with low strength will be targeted. If you are not careful, you will lose all your points here."
"so what?"
Tao Tao didn't understand this person's purpose and was very curious. She wasn't afraid of being watched. Anyway, she was going to the martial arts arena at the back, so she was bound to stand out here.
