Climbing to immortality step by step

Chapter 92 Xiaobi

"A arena match?" Liu Suiyun suddenly became dispirited. "Can we change to a more interesting way? Am I going to bully people now?"
The arena match is the most savage and easiest to manipulate competition system. Although this kind of competition system that relies on brute force seems very fair, in actual operation, there are too many tricks.
Not to mention anything else, just the arrangement of the competition schedule is enough to kill people. For example, in the entrance competition of the Shenxiao Sect two years ago, a descendant of a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the main sect miraculously had five consecutive byes. When everyone was exhausted from fighting, he waited leisurely and easily passed.
There are also some real strong players who are arranged to constantly fight each other in the same group. In order to avoid the situation of two strong players competing, even both players compete to admit defeat first in an attempt to hide in the loser's bracket to avoid the real strong players. As for things like arena cultivators who specialize in arena battles, Jinglong Baohai Pills that specifically temporarily increase combat power, and even scandals of collecting spirit stones to solve your opponents for you are all common occurrences.
There is even such a cultivator. Every time the Shenxiao Sect holds an arena match for the entrance competition, he will definitely participate. No matter whether he wins or loses against an opponent, he has to pay spirit stones to him. Otherwise, he will do his best to fight you to a draw, making you only look forward to the next round of promotion competition even if you win.
But Liu Suiyun finds arena matches very boring. However, Guo Huijun soon told him a not bad piece of good news: "But this year's grouping is said to be fairer. For this reason, a small pre-competition is organized. Participation is voluntary. The winners of the small competition can be given certain preferential treatment in the schedule arrangement!"
Liu Suiyun has seen many storms. He immediately said, "Given certain preferential treatment? What kind of preferential treatment exactly? It must be implemented. How can it work if it's not made clear!"
He is very confident in obtaining a good position in the small pre-competition, but the problem is that this will expose his trump card.
He even suspects that this small competition may be a conspiracy specifically arranged by some people in the Shenxiao Sect. After asking Guo Huijun, he found that there is no real good benefit in this small competition. Cultivators participating in the entrance competition can choose not to participate in the small competition, and the results of the small competition cannot be carried over to the major competition.
The only benefit of the small competition is preferential treatment in ranking. But the biggest problem is that no matter what, there will always be some real strong players in the small competition. At that time, everyone's trump cards, special skills, and even fighting styles will be exposed, and those who pretend to be weak and then surprise will take great advantages in the major competition.
Guo Huijun also hasn't made up her mind: "Yes, many female cultivators also say so. But they said that this small competition is presided over by Teacher Shan Yunping. Maybe it will be better."
"Presided over by Teacher Shan Yunping?" As soon as Liu Suiyun heard this name, he immediately changed his mind. "Is it really presided over by Teacher Shan? I've decided to participate in the small competition!"
Guo Huijun replied, "Who is this Immortal Master Shan Yunping? I see that many female cultivators admire him very much."
Liu Suiyun has heard the name Shan Yunping many times. This rising star of the Shenxiao Sect is always very humane and family-oriented. And he has an advantage, that is, he never looks down on others. Although he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, when interacting with Qi Refining cultivators or even Qi-inducting cultivators, he has no condescending attitude but treats them as his true friends.
When Liu Suiyun was in Jiazhou market, he had planned to attend a sermon meeting of Shan Yunping. The small cultivators present all said that Immortal Master Shan always only teaches real skills and has the highest cost-effectiveness. But Shan Yunping didn't come for some reason. In the end, it was the little Immortal Master Shen Que'er who came to preach.
After hearing many anecdotes about Shan Yunping, Liu Suiyun naturally developed a good impression of this rising star of the Shenxiao Sect. He had originally planned to interact more with him after entering the Shenxiao Sect. Now hearing that Shan Yunping is presiding over this small competition, he feels that this small competition only has benefits and no disadvantages for him.
Because it's Shan Yunping!
Liu Suiyun feels in his heart that since a very humane cultivator is presiding over the small competition, then he should participate. "Shan Yunping is a good person..."
After listening to Liu Suiyun carefully recounting many past events of Shan Yunping, Guo Huijun was also relieved. "Since Shan Yunping is presiding over the small competition, then let's go. But before that, you have to recover to the later stage of Qi Refining at least..."
"So before you enter the Shenxiao Sect, you are not allowed to touch even a finger of mine!"
But Liu Suiyun gently touched Guo Huijun's slender finger. "I know. I'll touch ten fingers!"
However, in these few days before the small competition, Liu Suiyun was indeed fully focused on cultivation. When he had free time, he would chat with Guo Huijun and Make a gesture by the way. As a result, he recovered his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
