The current Taiwei Sect has constant internal issues and urgently needs an opportunity to boost the morale of its disciples. And this inner disciple selection contest is naturally an important opportunity to do so.
However, unlike Qing Yangzi, Qin Zhao and Du Yuanxi had no hope for this selection contest.
After all, if the disciples of the outer sect truly had outstanding abilities or qualities, they would have been selected by Feng Shao to join the inner sect.
Even if there was the possibility of a disciple being a hidden gem, this possibility was very unlikely.
But Qing Yangzi couldn’t care less about these things. Now, most of the inner disciples have left, if more people don’t come in, the Taiwei Sect will really exist in name only.
On this matter, Ling Xuzi, who had been hiding for many days, suddenly volunteered. He recommended himself as the chief examiner of the selection contest, leading the entire selection contest. And no one understood why Qing Yangzi agreed to his request.
In Ling Xuzi’s view, the so-called selection contest is nothing more than letting a group of disciples go to the ring to compete with each other, and the winner in the end can become an inner disciple. As for the competition process or something, he didn’t think much about it.
So in this matter, he directly arranged a competition match.
The rules of his group arena are also simple.
Whoever thinks they can do it will compete.If the disciples at the bottom are not convinced, they can go up and challenge the ones in the ring.
If you lose, you go down the ring, if you win, you stay in the ring.
It will last for three days, and the one who stands in the ring at the end is the final winner.
Simple and crude.
There was an obvious problem with the rules of this competition. That was, only one disciple could be selected to become an inner disciple in the end. Another problem was that due to factors of luck and strategy, the one who could stand in the ring in the end may not be the strongest.
Everyone knew that in this kind of competition, whoever goes up first will suffer the most. So on the first day of the group arena, no one came up to the challenge.
Ling Xuzi was left puzzled as he sat on the stand, looking at the empty arena.
That night, Ling Xuzi ran to Qing Yangzi to complain, but the content of the complaint was nothing more than saying that the disciples of the outer sect were too disappointing and spineless, and none of them dared to compete.
Qing Yangzi was also baffled when he heard about the situation. When Feng Shao held the selections before, this kind of situation never happened! Could it be that after Feng Shao left, the outer sect disciples also began to lose their fighting spirit?
As a result, after some careful questioning, Qing Yangzi almost fainted from anger.
Even if he hadn’t paid much attention to the sect’s internal affairs before, he knew that Ling Xuzi’s competition rules were very unreasonable, and such a competition couldn’t meet his requirements for selecting an inner disciple.
In anger, Qing Yangzi stopped Ling Xuzi and decided to make the rules himself.
But Qing Yangzi just busily meditates and cultivates at all times, so how much would he know about this kind of thing? After thinking hard and contemplating for a while, he finally decided to copy the rules made by Feng Shao before.
The competition process formulated by Feng Shao was divided into three steps.
The first step is to sign up for the competition voluntarily. The top thirty-two registered outer sect disciples will be eligible to participate in the competition.
The second step is the group stage.
After drawing lots, groups of four were divided into eight groups.
Each contestant must fight one-on-one with three others, earning one point for a win and no points for a loss.
The two people with the highest scores in each group can participate in the next round of selection.
The third step is the knockout stage. According to the standard of the first place in Group A versus the second place in Group B, and the second place in Group A versus the first place in Group B, a one-on-one duel will be held and the winner will advance to the next round, continuing until the winner is finally determined.
That’s right, Feng Shao directly applied the rules of the world cup. The only difference is that there is no tie here.
The biggest advantage of this rule is that it can prevent outstanding disciples from being buried as much as possible. Although the possibility of an upset is not ruled out, it is still much fairer than other competition rules.
After using Feng Shao’s competition rules, the selection finally went smoothly. After seven days of competition, the eight strongest outer sect disciples were finally selected and allowed to enter the inner sect.
According to the previous procedure, Qing Yangzi, Qin Zhao, and Du Yuanxi had to choose their favorite disciples at this time.
However, unexpectedly, both Qin Zhao and Du Yuanxi had no interest in this, and both expressed that they had no intention of continuing to accept apprentices.
In desperation, Qing Yangzi had no choice but to bring all eight of them into the main branch’s lineage.
Qing Yangzi lamented that it was too difficult for him. In the entire sect, it seemed like it was only him concentrating on doing things, and everyone else was working against him.
And this guy Ling Xuzi is even more of a guy who does more yet fails more than he succeeds!
After the “vigorous” selection competition, the Taiwei Sect gradually calmed down. After Ye Chen and Zhao Mei’er lived together in the back of the mountain, they seldom came out to meet people. And without the troublesome Ye Chen and the trouble-bringing Zhao Mei’er, the atmosphere of the whole sect has finally become harmonious.
But in this calm atmosphere, no one knows when the next storm will come and how it will come.
