Chapter 39
The Outer Sect Competition to Come!
Chen Feng, who was sitting on the crane's back, was originally full of complaints because the sect elder's urgent order had disturbed his cultivation.
Despite caring so much about those newly initiated geniuses, he insisted on keeping them in the outer sect, only to have them rush over in the middle of the night to announce the order of Sect Leader Xi Yao.
If you care so much, then do it yourself. Why put on airs? I'm the one running errands.
Do I, a half-step Golden Core expert, not have any dignity?
But when he flew to the courtyard where Su Yi and the others were, and watched the entire fight between Su Yi and Gu Wanquan, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Having already stepped halfway into the Golden Core stage, he had no interest in the trivial matters of the Qi Refining stage.
Whether it was Su Yi's miraculous water arrow technique or Gu Wanquan's effortless blocking of all attacks, Chen Feng felt a great sense of unreality.
Even I, at the peak of Foundation Establishment, can't control Su Yi's water arrow technique so well!
The man in white, Gu Wanquan, was even more terrifying. The sword hanging at his waist resembled a venomous snake, giving Chen Feng the illusion that it might pounce on his face at any moment!
That's really weird!
Even if the opponent is incredibly powerful, he is still just a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, yet he has made me, at the peak of Foundation Establishment, feel threatened?
Looking back on his Qi Refining stage, it took him half a year to compose a single Golden Light Mantra, and it took him more than four years of stumbling and struggling before he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage and entered the Inner Sect.
I originally thought I was a chosen one of heaven, a genius and hero!
But compared to the group of people below, what am I, a mere donkey or horse's egg?
Not to mention the two almost monstrous Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivators, the few who were just watching from the sidelines were all at least Qi Refining Fourth Level!
I personally watched these people being taken into the outer sect, and I even arranged their accommodations myself!
When they entered the outer sect, they had no cultivation at all. What did they eat to be able to cultivate so quickly?
I am a great cultivator who is half a step into the Golden Core stage and at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment!
Compared to this group of people, I feel so inferior!
Are geniuses now commonplace?
Sitting on the crane's back, Chen Feng saw Su Yi turn around to go back to her room. He couldn't care less about questioning his life anymore and immediately stopped Su Yi.
Su Yi looked up and saw Chen Feng sitting on the back of a crane in mid-air. Curious, she stopped, leaned against the door frame, and put her hands in her sleeves.

Chen Feng jumped off the crane's back and landed in the courtyard. He smiled at Su Yi and then looked at Gu Wanquan.
He paused for a moment on the long sword at Gu Wanquan's waist, his body involuntarily adopting a wary posture.
Gu Wanquan was not surprised by the sudden appearance of Chen Feng, as if he had known about Chen Feng from the beginning.
"It's so late, Senior Brother Chen, why are you still here?" Gu Wanquan said to Chen Feng with a gentle smile.
Although Gu Wanquan had a smile on his face, Chen Feng's vigilance did not subside.
He didn't understand why a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining would give him such a strong sense of crisis if he carried a sword.
Setting aside his doubts, Chen Feng cleared his throat and said, "Pass on the sect leader's decree: you are all permitted to participate in the outer sect competition ten days from now, as an exception!"
Su Yi, leaning against the doorframe, stiffened, and blurted out in confusion, "Ten days? Isn't it a month from now?"
According to the storyline, after Gu Wanquan joined the Luoxia Immortal Sect, he won first place in the outer sect competition within a month and entered the inner sect as the chief disciple!
Why is it half a month in advance?
Chen Feng explained with a smile, "The outer sect competition will last for 15 days, and the final battle should be in a month!"
Su Yi nodded, but Gu Wanquan, standing beside her, asked with a hint of doubt, "The Outer Sect Grand Competition? What's that?"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "The Outer Sect Grand Competition is an annual competition for outer sect disciples of the Luoxia Immortal Sect. Disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage can participate, and the winner will directly enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple!"
To become an inner disciple of the Luoxia Immortal Sect, there is only one hard requirement: to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. After the sect's assessment, one can become an inner disciple.
The only shortcut is to win first place in the outer sect competition and become the number one person below the Foundation Establishment stage in the Luoxia Immortal Sect, then you can be directly promoted to an inner sect disciple!
Hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Gu Wanquan still smiled and asked, "Senior Brother Chen just said it was to convey the sect leader's decree. Does that mean it's the sect leader's intention for us to participate?"
"Yes, you're new to the Luoxia Immortal Sect and don't know many of the rules. The sect leader was worried you'd miss the outer sect competition, so he specifically sent me to inform you!" Chen Feng nodded in response.
Hearing Chen Feng say this, Gu Wanquan nodded and stopped asking questions.
Chen Feng glanced at the group and was amazed by the strength of Yin Chaoge and the others, even though they were not as strong as Su Yi and Gu Wanquan.
Despite being new to cultivation, these people have rapidly advanced to their current level as if riding a rocket!
This made Chen Feng, who had previously considered himself a genius, understand why the sect elders had sent him.
These exceptional talents, if placed in any blessed land, would be sought after by all the major blessed lands.
Therefore, it's no wonder that the Luoxia Immortal Sect attaches such great importance to them!
Wouldn't I, who came to deliver the sect leader's order, be just as valued by the sect as these prodigies?
Chen Feng, who was originally full of complaints, is now moved by the sect's high regard for him.
While Chen Feng was feeling self-satisfied, Gu Wanquan looked at the others in the courtyard and asked in a gentle voice, "I wonder if any of my junior brothers or sisters would be willing to participate in the outer sect competition with me?"
The question was asked in a gentle tone, but it carried another layer of meaning.
I, Gu Wanquan, am going to the sect competition this time. Who among you wants to come along and be a runner-up?
No matter which one of you is, I'll still win in the end!
Yin Chaoge and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads.
Even Su Yi, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, couldn't do anything to Gu Wanquan.
In ten days, they wanted to surpass Gu Wanquan; only divine intervention could save them.
There is no need for us to become stepping stones for Gu Wanquan to enter the inner sect in this sect competition.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Gu Wanquan's narrowed phoenix eyes, as if he was pleased with his ability to subdue the crowd.
Just as he was about to turn around and speak to Chen Feng about his preparations to participate in the outer sect competition,
Leaning against the doorframe, Su Yi spoke up first, "In that case, I'd like to trouble Senior Brother Chen to help me register!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately said with some displeasure, "Junior Brother Su, this is not right of you. We are fellow disciples, and your business is my business. If you continue to be so distant, I will get angry!"
Gu Wanquan stared at Su Yi in front of him, a hint of displeasure flashing in his narrow phoenix eyes.
He admired Su Yi's talent, which allowed him to break through five realms in a single day, and it was enough for him to take Su Yi seriously.
However, Su Yi's repeated overestimation of her abilities made Gu Wanquan feel somewhat uncomfortable, and he felt a little annoyed by Su Yi's lack of appreciation!
"Junior Brother Su is truly resilient in the face of setbacks!" Gu Wanquan exclaimed with a meaningful look at Su Yi.
Su Yi, however, casually leaned against the doorframe, looking at the biggest boss she had encountered so far, her peach blossom eyes full of smiles:
"What? Are you afraid that in ten days, my strength will improve by leaps and bounds and I'll surpass you?"
Despite caring so much about those newly initiated geniuses, he insisted on keeping them in the outer sect, only to have them rush over in the middle of the night to announce the order of Sect Leader Xi Yao.
