Chapter 633: Arena Defense Battle

Ye Qianzhong suddenly became too enthusiastic, and Lin Zhangqing was very uncomfortable, spending quite a bit of effort to send him away! Afterward, he learned from the high-stage cultivator on the arena that the remaining dozens or hundreds of people would have to come here again tomorrow.

They would continue to compete until the ten most outstanding disciples were decided to enter the Inner Sect.

After Lin Zhangqing agreed, he left the arena, but the commotion they made just now was too big!

Many fellow disciples watching the battle had already gathered under the arena, especially since they knew that Lin Zhangqing had an even more powerful divine thunder.

They were even more enthusiastic, and many attractive female cultivators wanted to pull Lin Zhangqing to their cave abodes as guests!

In fact, they didn't have much other meaning; it was just because his strength was powerful, and they wanted to get to know him so they could have a chance to form a team together!

Lin Zhangqing finally got rid of these enthusiastic fellow disciples and returned to his small courtyard alone, only then finally letting out a sigh of relief!

Today he revealed a little bit of his strength, and he didn't expect it to have already attracted the attention of so many fellow disciples!

But this was not what he wanted; he didn't want to be too high-profile and attract the attention of the sect's higher-ups!

Just like the high-stage cultivator on the arena just now, Lin Zhangqing felt that his intentions were very obvious! If Lin Zhangqing had taken the initiative to approach him at that time, he might very well have been taken as a personal disciple on the spot!

But this was not what he wanted, so after that high-stage cultivator said those few words for him.

Lin Zhangqing kept playing dumb and pretending not to understand, simply not following the normal line of thought! Of course, this also included his disdain for the person on the arena, who only had Golden Core cultivation!

If it had been a Nascent Soul cultivator, Lin Zhangqing would have had to think carefully! After all, having a True Lord as a backer didn't seem bad! He calmed his mind and began to review the several matches of the day. After finding no obvious mistakes, he took a moment of leisure to brew a pot of spirit tea for himself. After drinking the tea, he began the cultivation of the two fundamental techniques and spell abilities!

The next day, because Lin Zhangqing knew that he was already quite famous among the Inner Sect disciples, he deliberately controlled his time today! He didn't rush there too early, but delayed a bit, appearing at the Outer Sect Square right on time! However, today was different from the previous two days; there were simply too many fellow disciples appearing at the Outer Sect Square today! Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the first day when all the Outer Sect disciples were mobilized, there were at least thirty or forty thousand fellow disciples here! These fellow disciples probably wanted to come and see with their own eyes how the final top ten disciples of the grand competition would be produced! And Lin Zhangqing also discovered that the situation in the center of the Outer Sect Square today was different again; most of the one hundred arenas that were placed before were gone!

Only twenty arenas remained. Judging by the size of the arenas, it was estimated that the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages each occupied half! In Lin Zhangqing's view, reducing the number of arenas meant it wouldn't be as fast to decide the winner!

He didn't know if this was done to accommodate these disciples who came specifically to watch the battle! Just as Lin Zhangqing appeared low-key, the Outer Sect Grand Elder Situ Changhai appeared in mid-air!

After a sweep of divine sense unique to high-stage cultivators, the tens of thousands of people in the Outer Sect Square instantly quieted down! Then came a continuous sound of greeting and paying respects.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

... "Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Situ Changhai smiled and nodded: "Alright, alright, today is a good day, all disciples, please dispense with the formalities! Today, the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples will decide the final top ten.

The reward for Foundation Establishment disciples is entering the Inner Sect; there is no need to say more about this, everyone knows! And for the final ten winning Qi Refining disciples, the reward given to them this time is twenty thousand sect contribution points each, plus one Green Scale Fruit, and one Foundation Establishment Pill!"

As soon as Situ Changhai finished speaking, many disciples below were already boiling with excitement! Not to mention anything else, just the twenty thousand sect contribution points alone made many people jealous, not to mention the Green Scale Fruit and the Foundation Establishment Pill! Very satisfied with the reaction of the disciples below!

After Situ Changhai nodded, he continued: "Also, today's competition method is changed to an arena defense battle! It's the same for both Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples! It just so happens that there are one hundred Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples left, and each person has three chances to challenge.

Finally, staying on the arena for more than a quarter of an hour without anyone coming up to challenge again counts as a successful defense, and one automatically obtains a spot in the top ten!"

Hearing Grand Elder Situ Changhai say this, everyone remaining began to feel their scalps tingle!

Lin Zhangqing was instantly speechless; he had originally wanted to obtain a spot in the top ten low-key!

But now it seemed it wouldn't be that easy. If he followed yesterday's competition method, he could have steadily entered the top ten with at most four matches!

But now that the competition method had changed, Lin Zhangqing didn't know how many challenges he would have to accept! Moreover, this kind of arena defense battle had a very obvious drawback: the earlier one went up, the more disadvantaged they were!

It was equivalent to having to accept countless wheel battles; without formidable strength and abundant mana, it was impossible to defend!

However, after pondering carefully, Lin Zhangqing admired the sect's higher-ups!

They could actually think of such a method, because the disciples selected using this method were definitely the most formidable! But everyone was not a fool; they all knew that going up earliest was the most disadvantaged!

So after Grand Elder Situ Changhai announced the start, the twenty arenas were empty, and no one took the initiative to go up!

Therefore, after waiting for a while and seeing that still no one went up.

Situ Changhai spoke again: "Within a quarter of an hour, if still no one takes the initiative to go up, then there will be no top ten in this grand competition!"

After speaking, he specifically looked at the few disciples with relatively formidable strength, and Lin Zhangqing even felt that the Grand Elder looked at him too! Although this was not Lin Zhangqing's intention, he knew he couldn't continue to play dead! Especially since the Grand Elder had pointed him out intentionally or unintentionally just now! Otherwise, being remembered by a Nascent Soul True Lord was not a good thing! So he immediately flew up and boarded a large arena closest to him.

Very coincidentally, the high-stage cultivator guarding this arena was the one who spoke for Lin Zhangqing yesterday! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 634 =====
