Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Grand Tournament Rules!

"Senior Sister has left?"

Qin Chen had just returned to the Saint Institute when he encountered Sheng Xuefu.

Only then did Qin Chen learn that Shen Mirui had already left.

"Where did she go?"

Qin Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Sheng Xuefu shook her head.

"Before she left, she asked me to give this to you, and told me that if you encounter an irresistible danger, just shatter this Jade Scroll."

Sheng Xuefu handed the Jade Scroll to Qin Chen.

Holding the Jade Scroll in his hand, memories of Shen Mirui flooded Qin Chen’s mind, leaving him with an aching sense of loss.

"Senior Sister, who is she?"

After a moment of contemplative silence, Qin Chen asked.

He always felt Shen Mirui was enveloped in mystery, but he never knew her background.

"Perhaps when you grow to a certain height, you will meet her."

Sheng Xuefu said with a smile.

"Is that so?"

Qin Chen murmured to himself.

"I feel like you’ve changed quite a bit over this past month of cultivation."

The warm aura emanating from Qin Chen made Sheng Xuefu furrow her brows.

"Not too bad."

Qin Chen nodded.

He was not currently invoking the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique.

So to outsiders, Qin Chen’s skin didn’t look much different from before.

Sheng Xuefu only sensed the residual aura of Fire Liquid on Qin Chen’s body.

"This time, the institute’s competition depends on you!"

Sheng Xuefu’s eyes were filled with expectancy.

"I will do my best to win first place for Thunder Sky Sect!"

Qin Chen’s gaze was resolute.

Elder Zang Qingyun of the Azure Sky Sword Sect had mocked him relentlessly and openly threatened him. Qin Chen had etched all those moments firmly in his heart.

"First place?"

Sheng Xuefu was somewhat astonished; clearly, she hadn’t expected Qin Chen’s ambition to be so grand.

"Everything else aside, the Azure Sky Sword Sect is not an entity to be trifled with."

She secretly shook her head, deep in thought.

The Azure Sky Sword Sect had dominated the first place in the Sect competition for ten consecutive years; their status as overlord was difficult to challenge.

Two days later.

Today, the entire Thunder Sky Sect was abuzz with activity.

Early in the morning, Qin Chen was summoned by the Thunder Sky Sect Master.

Truth be told,

Qin Chen had never met the Thunder Sky Sect Master despite having been at the Sect for quite some time.

Following the instructions, Qin Chen arrived at a magnificent hall of the Thunder Sky Sect.

Upon Qin Chen’s arrival, several people in the hall turned to look at him.

Ancient City Fei, ranked third in the Inner Courtyard.

Xuu Nian, ranked fourth.

Although Qin Chen wasn’t familiar with these people, he had seen them before.

However, at this moment,

Qin Chen’s gaze fixed on a youth in gray clothing.

His instinct told him that this person was very strong.

Following that,

Qin Chen’s attention naturally fell on the Jade Token at the waist of the gray-clothed youth.

Inner Courtyard, Mon Tianran!

"Qin Chen?"

At this time, Mon Tianran approached Qin Chen.

Qin Chen smiled and nodded, "Senior Brother Mon."

"I’ve heard of your deeds, and I admire you greatly. I hope that in this Sect competition, you can lead Thunder Sky Sect to the highest honor!"

Mon Tianran’s eyes flickered as he said this.

"Me?"

Qin Chen was confused.

Although he had never met Mon Tianran, he had heard of his reputation countless times.

He knew Mon Tianran was strong.

But Qin Chen was puzzled as to why Mon Tianran would say such words.

After all.

By all rights, the leader of the group should have been Mon Tianran.

"Elder Yun Jin!"

At that moment,

Yun Jin’s figure suddenly appeared in the great hall, and Qin Chen and others quickly greeted him.

However,

Just then, Qin Chen’s gaze suddenly turned towards the outside.

Because he felt an immensely overwhelming aura.

In Qin Chen’s line of sight,

A middle-aged man in a long robe entered the great hall.

"Saint Sect Master!"

"Sect Master!"

Seeing this person, even Mon Tianran showed a face full of respect, slightly bowing his body.

It was then that Qin Chen realized the identity of the man.

The Sect Master of Thunder Sky Sect, Saint Leitian!

Saint Leitian was a true powerhouse standing at the peak in Thunder State.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Saint Leitian seemed very approachable and gestured for Qin Chen and the others to sit down.

"Elder Yun, please explain the rules of this Sect Competition to them first."

"Alright."

Yun Jin nodded his head.

Then,

Yun Jin turned his eyes towards Qin Chen and the others.

"You five are the strongest disciples of our Thunder Sky Sect, and also the ones representing our Sect in this Competition!"

"Our Thunder Sky Sect has been ranked last among the Thunder State Sects for ten consecutive years, so, here, I hope you can give it your all!"

"To wash away the dishonor of Thunder Sky Sect and fight for honor!"

Yun Jin’s face was serious.

Qin Chen and the others looked solemn.

Ranking last for ten consecutive years was indeed an utterly shameful matter.

"Next, I will tell you the rules of this Sect Competition."

Upon hearing Yun Jin mention the rules of the Sect Competition, everyone quieted down to listen carefully.

"This Sect Competition has two stages."

"The first stage is the Heavenly Ascending Ladder!"

"The Heavenly Ladder? Is it the legendary Martial Arts Heavenly Stairs?"

Ancient City Fei could not help but ask.

Qin Chen’s heart stirred.

He knew of the Martial Arts Heavenly Stairs.

The Martial Arts Heavenly Stairs, with ninety-nine levels in total, tested not only a Martial Artist’s Cultivation but also their Martial Arts Heart and their talent.

However,

Such an item was undoubtedly a precious treasure. How could the Sect Competition have sourced something like that?

"It is a Heavenly Ladder made in imitation of the Martial Arts Heavenly Stairs, with only twenty levels," explained Yun Jin.

Qin Chen then understood.

He had just been wondering how such a treasure like the Martial Arts Heavenly Stairs could have been brought here; it turned out to be an imitation.

But Qin Chen also knew that even if there were only twenty levels, it was not easy to climb.

"Reaching the First Level of the Ladder indicates you will have one hundred Points, and similarly, the twentieth level means two thousand Points."

"This is the first stage."

Qin Chen felt determined.

If it was a points system, than those Points were surely crucial.

It seemed he must try his best in this first stage to obtain as many Points as possible.

"The first stage is just an appetizer; the second stage is the real heart of the event!"

"The second stage is the arena battle!"

"However, this time the arena battle is different from other battles because there’s only one arena for this one!"

"One arena? Does that mean attacking and defending the arena?"

Xuu Nian asked with a frown.

"Something like that," said Yun Jin with a smile.

"Anyone can ascend the stage, but the precondition is that you can withstand the challenge from any other contender. Once your defense is breached, the Points you hold will be taken by your opponent!"

"Simply put, the second stage relies on personal strength. If one’s strength is inadequate, they can only watch from the sidelines!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen and the others became even more serious.

This meant that if a person with superior strength defended the arena, the weaker ones would have no chance to even show their faces.

This was undoubtedly very cruel.

"Furthermore, this Sect Competition is different from previous ones in a major way," continued Yun Jin.
