Chapter 2077: This heaven-sent fortune!

Senior Brother, I actually think there's no need to decline the Three Sect Sword Discussion; it's a perfect chance to make the name of our Dao One Immortal Sect known.

Wu Shou spoke up, saying he agreed to participate in the Three Sect Sword Discussion.

In his view, for the Dao One Immortal Sect, this is absolutely a rare opportunity not to be missed.

As Wu Shou's words fell, Shi Song beside him also nodded in agreement.

"Second Senior Brother is right, and our sect's disciples aren't necessarily inferior to those of the three great sects."

The disciples Shi Song referred to aren't Xu Jie and his group, but these new initiates of the sect.

Especially those disciples who come from the various immortal clans.

They have been carefully cultivated by their families since childhood; it can be said that, whether in cultivation resources or cultivation environment, they are no worse than the Immortal Sword Sect and the three great sects.

Their battle prowess and cultivation level are sufficient to stand shoulder to shoulder with the disciples of those three great sects, so there's naturally nothing to fear.

As Wu Shou and Shi Song both voiced their agreement, Qi Xiong pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"What you say is correct; this is indeed an opportunity, but I'm worried those kids won't put in effort and will just go through the motions."

This is Qi Xiong's only concern; hearing this, Wu Shou said.

"We could set up some reward and punishment mechanisms—Zhangqing Xiaozi is still in the sect, isn't he?"

"What do you mean?"

"With Zhangqing Xiaozi around, are we still afraid they won't give their all?"

"Hehe, that's actually a good idea."

"Heh heh heh, this is a blatant plot, with no solution."

Having decided, Qi Xiong that same day replied to the Immortal Sword Sect, accepting the invitation to the Three Sect Sword Discussion, with the Dao One Immortal Sect participating as a fourth party.

After that came the confirmation of the participants.

Qi Xiong and his group's method was also simple and brutal: directly hold an elimination contest.

Anyway, the sect currently doesn't have many disciples—at most a few hundred.

According to the rules of the Three Sect Sword Discussion, each sect can send ten participants.

So the participants will be selected as the ten strongest in strength.

Moreover, Qi Xiong and his group announced that any disciple participating in the Three Sect Sword Discussion, regardless of win or loss, would get a chance to order a dish.

The format is three dishes and one soup, and you can bring someone along.

And during the Three Sect Sword Discussion, if one achieves a ranking, the rewards are even more generous.

However, without exception, all are related to the canteen, after all, that's the only thing many disciples care about.

Qi Xiong can be said to have hit exactly what the disciples were thinking, striking right at the vital point.

Once the news was announced, many disciples became excited.

They've already been eating the canteen's food for many days.

Moreover, as the one-month deadline approaches, many disciples are counting on their fingers how many days they can still eat.

They think about how many more days they can eat; each passing day makes them anxiously wonder what they'll do if they can't eat after a month.

At this moment, Qi Xiong and his group suddenly pulled this move—isn't this a heaven-sent fortune falling on their heads?

All the disciples clenched their fists, excited to the extreme.

"Good, good, good—this heaven-sent fortune has finally come my way; nobody else grab it, this spot is mine."

"Nonsense, with your strength you still want to represent the sect in battle? Don't embarrass yourself."

"You talk as if you're qualified? If I were you two, I'd be too embarrassed to sign up and would just forfeit."

"Impudent, if you have the ability, then do it."

"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you."

The disciples are already eager, especially after earning a ranking in the Three Sect Sword Discussion and bringing glory to the sect.

Not only is there the reward of ordering a dish, but they can also extend their meals by another month; even if they place in the top three of the sword discussion, they directly get rewards of one year, six months, or three months.

In other words, for the coming year they can eat in the canteen without any conditions.

Even if Ye Zhangqing is not in the sect during that period, there will be distributions of dry rations he personally made.

With such generous rewards, how could it not move many disciples?

So when the day of the arena selection arrived, almost all disciples signed up.

Only Xu Jie and his group stood below the stage.

Zhao Zhengping, looking unwilling, asked Xu Jie beside him.

"Why didn't you sign up?"

"I'm sick, I'll sign up."

Watching the disciples fighting fiercely on the arena, Xu Jie said in an annoyed tone.

"Look at these junior brothers; they all have immortal realm cultivation—what's he signing up for? Seeking death?"

Xu Jie has no self-abusive tendencies, besides..................

"Senior Brother, you didn't sign up either."

"I................"

Zhao Zhengping's face turned red, and he didn't answer.

Those who know it's the arena selection think so; those who don't think it's a life-and-death battle.

There are five arenas in total, surrounded by formations to prevent the aftershocks of battle from affecting the surroundings.

The formations are naturally set up by the offerings; Qi Xiong and his group couldn't produce formations of this level.

Sigh, the sect's development actually relies on the offerings.

Sigh, the sect's development actually relies on the offerings.

On a fighting platform, two disciples from the same immortal clan, who are also brothers, have gone completely bloodshot-eyed, neither willing to yield to the other.

Spiritual power surged skyward from their whole bodies, their aura terrifying; one of the young men said.

"Little brother, I've let you have everything since you were little; can't you let me have this once?"

"Aside from the sword debate quota, I can give you anything else."

"You............ you know full well that I want this sword debate quota."

"How about I let you have my fiancée? Brother, forfeit."

Hearing his brother's words, the elder brother's face darkened, his fury unbound; he was about to shout angrily, but the next second his brother's words left him completely stunned.

The two are real brothers; their father is the clan chief of the immortal clan.

Naturally aware that the family had arranged a marriage for the younger brother, the other party's background was extraordinary, talent also high, most importantly it was said that her appearance was beautiful, indeed a famed immortal maiden on the Immortal Maiden Ranking.

Originally I was a bit envious, but upon hearing the younger brother's words just now, the elder brother's face instantly darkened.

"What a joke, you actually want to trade a woman for my sword debate quota?"

"Then there's nothing to discuss."

"Then let's see the real skill on our hands."

For a sword debate quota, the two brothers almost did not become enemies.

Below the platform, the elders serving as referees and spectators—Qi Xiong, Wu Shou, Shi Song, Hong Zun and the others—each had faces as dark as iron.

From their faces you could tell everyone's mood was extremely terrible; the resentment surrounding them was thicker than a ghost's.

Their gazes locked tightly onto the platform, they gritted their teeth and said nothing.

It looked like they were watching the match, but only they themselves knew that watching a damn fight was pointless; they could barely make out the general situation of the battle on the platform.

Their old faces couldn't help but redden; as sect elders, they could now barely make out the disciples' fight.

All they could see were two figures on the platform going back and forth, fighting extremely fiercely, but the details were completely incomprehensible—this was the gap in cultivation.

Their hearts were a mix of five flavors; in any case they were extremely displeased—we are sect elders after all.
