In comparison, the generous rewards that were not stated clearly were not taken to heart at all.
In the sword spring sect, other than the sect's higher-ups, such as the sect's Deputy sect leader and elder Qin, the highest status was the sect leader's direct disciple. They were people who had the potential to become the next sect leader!
The next would be the direct disciples of the other higher-ups. As long as there was the prefix 'direct disciple', they would definitely be the top existence among all the disciples.
As for elite disciples, strictly speaking, they were not considered to be in the same rank. They were half a rank higher than inner disciples, but they were still inner disciples, just that their treatment was much better than inner disciples!
Speaking of which, it was similar to the preparatory Holy envoys of the new Holy region in the secular world. They were both transitional roles, but there was another advantage. After becoming an elite disciple, they did not need to participate in the future sect competitions!
For example, those who participated in the competition today were all inner and outer disciples. The pro-disciples and elite disciples were not included.
Of course, if the pro-disciples and elite disciples were interested, they could go down and play with their junior brothers and sisters. This could also be considered as one of the tests for them.
"Silence!"
Deputy sect leader Zong gave everyone some time to discuss, then spoke to gain the right to speak,""In order to commend the hard work of the senior stewards, those who are senior stewards of the inner sect will be able to enter the final circle directly!"
"There's one more thing to add. The last place of each group will receive a certain punishment. If there's a record of surrendering without a fight, the most severe punishment will be expulsion from the sect!"
Everyone was in awe!
No one had expected that this year's competition would be so strict. If one surrendered without a fight and was last in the group, they would be expelled from the sword spring sect!
This was forcing everyone to risk their lives!
However, it was not incomprehensible. The sub-Island was full of body refining martial artists. As the saying goes, when meeting on a narrow road, the brave will win. If you don't have the courage to cut off all cauldrons and sink boats, how can you talk about courageous progress?
If he surrendered when he encountered a powerful enemy, why would he be a martial artist? wouldn't it be more comfortable to be an ordinary person, stay at home with his wife and children, and warm his bed?
"Next, everyone will draw your number and enter your corresponding group. Get ready to start the fight!"
After vice sect leader Zong announced the rules, the group competition officially began.
Wu yucao let out a breath of relief when she heard the rules. Lin Yi was the third senior brother in charge of the inner sect, so he didn't need to participate in the group stage and could enter the finals directly.
This would buy them a lot of time!
I hope I can make it in time!
Wu yucao's eyes drifted to the cultivation peak again, hoping that Lin Yi would come over quickly.
Zhang Yiming looked at Deputy sect leader Zong on the stage.
In the past, there was no such thing as a steward senior brother's preferential treatment in the sect competition.
After all, the senior Steward already had a lot of power and benefits on a daily basis. Moreover, he had fought for the position himself, so there was no need to say that he had worked hard.
If you're tired, you can give it up. There are plenty of people who want this position!
The sudden preferential treatment this year, perhaps it was because of eldest brother?
Zhang Yiming guessed in his heart and drew his number without paying much attention. He was still thinking that Deputy sect leader Zong really took care of eldest senior brother!
Zhang Yiming's face darkened when he reached the group with the corresponding number.
Extreme summer tyrant Wolf!
East Pavilion opening!
What the hell is this group!
Other than the summer extreme tyrant Wolf, there was one more person who was close to him.
Dongge Pi hadn't entered the inner sect yet because he was the senior brother in charge of the outer sect. He didn't want to hand over his power too quickly, so he didn't enter the inner sect.
In terms of strength, Dongge Pi was already at the level of an inner sect disciple!
Zhang Yiming thought that his strength had improved a lot after following Lin Yi!
If they were lucky and entered a group with only one inner disciple, they could even fight for the second place in the group.
If it really didn't work out, it wasn't impossible to strive to be one of the top three groups among the ten groups with the best results. At least, he would have the opportunity to enter the substitute group.
But now, Zhang Yiming was thinking about how to avoid being last in the group!
The extreme summer tyrant Wolf and Dongge Pi were both eldest senior brother Sima's enemies. As a loyal fan of eldest senior brother Sima, he would definitely be targeted by the other party!
The remaining inner disciple was in the same boat as the extreme summer tyrant Wolf, and he would not let Zhang Yiming go so easily!
Zhang Yiming felt hopeless just thinking about it.
As long as Xia Ji, tyrant Wolf, and the others used their full strength to injure Zhang Yiming, and then went easy on the other outer disciples, Zhang Yiming would be at the bottom of the group!
"Zhang Yiming! What a small world, you're so lucky to be in our group!"
Dongge bi lifted his chin with a faint smile and said with a face full of mockery,""You're pretty good at jumping around in the outer sect. I'd like to see how you're going to do that today!"
Zhang Yiming's chubby little face was bitter.
Lin Yi's absence as the manager of the outer sect helped donggepi turn the tide.
He and Zhang Yiming often opposed each other because of the interests of the outer sect, but they never had the chance to confront each other directly. They always fought behind the scenes.
"Where's Sima Yi? Why didn't I see him? Could it be that he's afraid of losing face and won't even participate in the sect competition?"
The extreme summer tyrant Wolf was extremely proud.
He needed to take out one of Lin Yi's lackeys before taking out Lin Yi-it was a necessary thing to do, and it'd be a good blow to Lin Yi's morale.
And then he could humiliate Lin Yi at the same time!
The extreme summer tyrant Wolf had already thought of how to deal with Zhang Yiming. He was not going to let Zhang Yiming have an easy time!
"Eldest senior brother Sima has just returned from his training and is in the process of breaking through. Let's see if you still dare to be so arrogant when eldest senior brother comes!"
Zhang Yiming didn't want to lose face, so he retorted,""They were all defeated by our eldest senior brother Sima, what's there to be proud of? Just wait and see, you'll all cry!"
"Brat, you're really not afraid of death!"
Dongge bi smiled sinisterly."Didn't you notice that in the rules announced by the Deputy sect leader, there was no mention of killing or injuring this year? do you think ... You can still live to see the sun tomorrow?"
Zhang Yiming's face turned pale.
He didn't notice it earlier, but now that Dongge Pi reminded him, he realized that it was true!
In the past, the sect competitions were all very particular about stopping when one reached a certain point, and there would not be any serious injuries easily, let alone death!
However, this time ...
Zhang Yiming was a person who collected information. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that it was not simple!
Vice sect leader Zong and elder Qin had the intention to protect Lin Yi, but the sword spring sect didn't just have two higher-ups like them.
It was likely that extreme summer tyrant Wolf and the others had also pulled some tricks behind the scenes.
