No one would disagree with Second Elder's decision.
However, after hearing what he said, even more attention was still focused on Mu Furong.
Bai Ruyue's soul power was indeed powerful, everyone knew that, but Mu Furong was not bad either!
And compared to that, she was still a Grade Seven Alchemist. Under normal circumstances, it should be Mu Furong who shouldered this important task!
Mu Furong pursed her lips with force, and then she looked at Bai Ruyue: "Bai Ruyue, tomorrow you better draw a lot for everyone!"
Bai Ruyue blinked her eyes, "I will try my best."
The next day, the Warrior Skill Competition was officially held.
The participants from all parts of Eighteen States gradually arrived and gathered at the large plaza, greeting each other.
Some of the divisions were close to each other, like old friends who had not been together for a long time, asking questions about the past, reminiscing about the past;
Some branches disliked each other, facing each other coldly from a distance, cursing and swearing, their swords drawn;
In short, the plaza was very lively, and all sorts of gossiping noises could be heard.
"Eh? Oh right, I heard that only seventeen divisions have come to compete, is the competition's rules going to change? "
"Change what!" And there are eighteen of them! "
"Or? "Could it be …"
"You don't know? I'm here for Cloud Sea Division after all! "
"You're here? Aiyo! Aren't they ashamed of themselves? "
"Disgraceful!" With them at the bottom, we don't have to worry that we'll be the last! "
As one of the three provinces under the jurisdiction of Chao Guo, it had always been second to last.
The other one was slightly better, usually at the fourth to last place, fifth place!
But even then, the branch in the Ba Province did not say that they were sworn brothers with Cloud Sea Division. Instead, they felt like laughing at every step of the way.
"Don't be happy! Impressive, they will give you another look, after this time, your Cloud Sea Division will be gone, and you will be at the bottom in the next round! "
"Ten years later, what is it going to do? Ten years from now, we still don't know what our Ba Zhou will be like! "
"Tch …"
"Hey hey hey, someone from Cloud Sea Division is here!" Someone suddenly called out to them. Everyone kept their voices down at the same time and looked towards the intersection.
When that group of people entered his line of sight, although they were all laughing, there was still some sympathy in their eyes.
Because in their eyes, this was the last time the Cloud Sea Division had shown up, and could also be considered the end of the curtain on time for them to gather and disperse!
"Feng Qi! You sure are shameless! "
Under this sympathetic watch, the leader elder of the Southern Heaven Region shouted: "For the sake of coming to the competition, you actually played such a dirty trick! But what's the point of coming here? He's still the last resort! "
"Zhang Dezong! I advise you to think too much! What did he mean by playing dirty? We came to participate in the tournament in accordance to the rules, and you say that the sect is heartless, but when they saw that the Wood Elder was in trouble, they decided to clear it? "
"You!" The leader of the South Sky branch immediately said something, and Second Elder added, "Oh, I forgot, most of the people in the South Sky Division are cold people, so of course they would only think of those dirty things!"
"Feng Qi!" The leader stood up and shouted in anger: "Stop being so arrogant! For someone who is the last in the entire year, what qualifications does he have to act arrogantly here?! "
"We don't have the right to act arrogantly, but we still have the word 'self-esteem' in our hearts. It's not like you, who are not in the top three, and you think you're a big shot!"
Second Elder usually looked like a kind and happy old man, but he did not expect that this old man would be so sharp-tongued, to the point that the South Sky Division did not take advantage of him.
"Alright!" What are you two arguing about! " From far away, someone said, "Noisy!"
A short shout, whether it was Cloud Sea Division or South Sky Sect Division, the two leading clan elders were silent. They did not reply, and Bai Ruyue immediately looked over and pulled on Han Yu's sleeves.
"That's the Sky Bearing Sect." Han Yu lowered her eyes and gave Bai Ruyue an answer.
Sky Bearing Sect was the branch of the Qi Kingdom, Sky Bearing Empire. Because there was a headquarters of the Fimbriae Radix there, the people there gathered the most.
Furthermore, the Sky Bearing Empire's branch had been competing with the Fimbriae Radix for years, so their power was much more strict in controlling it. As a result, almost every year, they would be ranked first, and they were a little more conceited than the branch under the Pill Sect.
No wonder!
Bai Ruyue looked at the crowd that had quietened down instantly, and sighed in her heart: The one who wins is the boss, the one that is lagging behind is going to get beaten, this Cloud Sea Division is really … He was in a difficult situation!
"Elder Ge is here!" Everyone stood in formation according to their respective divisions. Because of Cloud Sea Division, they stood at the very last row of the formation.
"Everyone, welcome!" The bald old man that he had met yesterday stood on the high platform in the plaza and spoke words of welcome. Only after pouring half a cup of tea did he announce the start of the Dou Technique Grand Meeting.
Deacon Qin then walked out and explained the rules of the first round. Following that, a gigantic bottle gourd shaped lot was taken out.
"The same old rules as before. The five contests will be decided by drawing lots!" And it is still the final five divisions from the previous tournament that have come to draw out the results of the competition! "
Deacon Qin looked at Cloud Sea Division at the very end: "Cloud Sea Division, send someone to draw the first lot!"
Second Elder immediately nodded, and turned to say: "Bai Ruyue, go!"
"Yes." Bai Ruyue immediately walked out. When she walked out, a lot of people were suspicious.
It was clear that many of them knew of Mu Furong's existence and thought that she was the one who had completed this matter.
However, it turned out to be a little girl.
"Who is this?"
"I don't know!"
"It looks very small!" Is it twenty? "
"What is the Cloud Sea Division doing!?" Why not Mu Furong? "
"Sigh, this can't be that whatever Cloud Sea Division's future star, right?"
Bai Ruyue ignored them and walked to the main platform. After bowing to everyone at the side of the stage, she went up to Deacon Qin and bowed to the group of foremen.
"State your rank!" Deacon Qin raised his voice to remind him.
"Yes, I am Bai Ruyue from Cloud Sea Division, a first rank alchemist." Bai Ruyue spoke in a serious tone without a trace of fear, but once she said those words, the people in the audience felt like they were going to explode!
"Aiya, First Pin? It's actually a first grade spirit beast! "
"Is the person from Cloud Sea Division crazy? If you don't send someone of higher rank, try to draw a good lot in your favor. Yet, you actually let someone of the first rank come up.
"Too much, too much!"
"Hey, why is this Mu Furong not allowed to come up?"
"…"
"Silence!" Deacon Qin bellowed, he had temporarily suppressed all the discussions, but the majority of everyone's expression was filled with incomprehensible suspicion.
"Come on, please draw first place in today's competition!"
