Chapter 98: Chapter 94: Brother Lu, I Know I Was Wrong

Shi Nian is number 37, so her opponent is number 38.

The crowd quickly checked among themselves and confirmed their opponents.

Shi Nian looked at the middle-aged man across from her, with his slightly graying hair, and fell silent.

The man said calmly, "Although you are just at the Qi Refining Peak, it may seem unsportsmanlike for me to fight you. However, the reward for the champion is too important to me, so this time, I will not hold back."

The world of cultivation is incredibly cruel.

Apart from the outlier Shi Nian, the others from Ling Tian Peak were all quite talented; even the latest to join, Lin Tiantian, reached the Golden Core Stage without much trouble.

But what’s the reality?

In the cultivation world, most people can break through from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, only one in a hundred can break through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage.

From Golden Core to Nascent Soul, the ratio is probably one in a thousand.

And what about Nascent Soul Stage to Divinity Transformation Stage?

Even a protagonist like Li Nanfeng has stayed in this realm for two to three decades, and breaking through still requires a certain opportunity.

Only when one breaks through to the Divinity Transformation Stage can they be considered a master in the cultivation world.

To break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage at a young age like Mu Nanqing is unheard of, not just among his peers, but if you look back hundreds of years, there are probably only a few.

And this middle-aged man is a representation of the countless disciples who have languished in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Do not be fooled by his being in the Foundation Establishment Stage; he is older than Mu Nanqing and the others.

In such a case, his chances of breaking through are extremely slim.

But those who have been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for a long time have a deep understanding of it. They may lack talent, but within the Foundation Establishment Stage, they may not be inferior to those genius disciples.

Shi Nian didn’t say much either; she simply nodded decisively: "Alright, let’s both give it our best."

"All participants have been checked. The martial competition now officially begins," the Sect Leader announced with his characteristic smile; "The competition will start with the Foundation Establishment Stage. All ten martial arts arenas are now open. Contestants number 1 to 20, please enter the stage."

The Venerables of the Sect also took their seats in the spectator area, signifying the importance of this grand event.

Shi Nian glanced over. The Ling Tian Sword Master and the Fire Flame Venerable were now sitting upright and proper, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.

But before she could completely relax, she saw the Ling Tian Sword Master secretly pass a cup of wine to the Fire Flame Venerable from below.

Shi Nian: "...!!!"

The face of Ling Tian Peak was likely to be lost.

Out of sight, out of mind, Shi Nian decided to ignore those two drunkards.

Shi Nian is number 37, and Yu Dong’er is number 25. Neither of them were up for this round.

Yin Yu is number 5, and it’s time for him to take the stage.

He smiled at Shi Nian, "Sister Shi, I’m going up to the martial arts arena now. For you, I will definitely win this match."

Saying so, Yin Yu habitually revealed his roguish, crooked smile.

Shi Nian rolled her eyes and unceremoniously docked three points from his favorability: "Junior Brother, next time you smile, remember not to show your teeth. With such a crooked mouth, it’s unbecoming."

Yin Yu: "..."

Indeed, he still wanted to strangle Shi Nian.

"Remember it, Host, you better remember it," the System urged impatiently: "It’s not easy to reach a favorability of 50, and now it’s dropped again!"

Yin Yu forced a smile: "I know."

Then, fearing Shi Nian would say something bizarre again, he hastened to the number five stage at top speed.

Lu Xingzhi, Yun Jian, and Lin Tiantian had already registered. However, their matches had not yet started, so the three came over to find Shi Nian first.

Upon their arrival, Shi Nian instinctively thought to hide her number plate.

But it was already too late!

Lin Tiantian was the first to exclaim: "Senior Sister! You registered too?"

Shi Nian awkwardly smiled: "I was getting bored, so I signed up for the Foundation Establishment Stage competition, just to have some fun."

"It’s not just for fun. Senior Sister, you will surely take the championship," Yu Dong’er admiringly said.

She knew Shi Nian’s strength.

If Shi Nian hadn’t concealed her abilities, she would surely be a world-renowned peerless genius by now.

"Let’s keep a low profile," Shi Nian coughed twice.

"Xiao Nian," Lu Xingzhi frowned and advised, "Now that you’ve signed up, I won’t say much. But remember this, winning or losing the match isn’t important; what matters is that you must not get injured."

"Understood, understood," Shi Nian replied.

Lu Xingzhi had more to say.

Then, a sour voice sounded.
