Chapter 63: Sect Competition?

  "Headmaster's senior brother, then I'll get to the point!" The only woman among the eight people, who also looked the youngest, asked. This woman was Wu Santong's senior sister and Shangguan Headmaster's junior sister. The other seven people looked like old men, while she looked like she was only thirty years old.

  "Ah, junior sister, please!" The Upper Official made a beckoning gesture with his hand and nodded. He pressed down on the square with his hand, and the entire square fell silent.

  The woman did not decline, she stood up directly, "There are second-generation disciples, third-generation disciples, and even fourth-generation disciples, fifth-generation disciples. There are also outer door disciples, inner door disciples, and even elite disciples. Whether it's those who have just entered the True Martial Gate or those who have been in the True Martial Gate for a long time. This time, a task is released, not only our True Martial Gate, but also other sects participate."

  She paused, "Wuhen Gongzi, who doesn't know which school or sect he belongs to, and your task is to capture this person alive. Of course, it's best to capture him alive, but killing him is also acceptable. It's not just you who has to do it, even disciples of other schools are doing it. Whoever succeeds in this task can get a lot of contribution points from various schools."

  "Everything about the Traceless Young Master will be told to you by others, so I won't say more here. Remember, if you cooperate and succeed, we'll also give you a share. But if another sect completes the task, you'll get nothing." She turned her head to look at the Upper Palace's leader, "I've said this much, the rest is up to Master Leader to explain."

  "Ah, please sit down, junior sister." The head of the Upper Palace gestured slightly, and the woman didn't decline, directly taking a seat.

  "What your Shifu just said, I won't repeat it here. As for why all the major sects are looking for Wuxiazi, that's not for you to worry about. But this time, our Zhenwu Sect must show its strength, and I don't want any of you to lose face for me, do you understand?"

  Shangguan's expression was very serious, and his whole body also exuded a strong aura of dominance. As the leader of the Supreme Sect, he was top-notch in terms of temperament, means, and natural talent. And each of the Supreme Sects naturally wanted to compete with each other, Shangguan being no exception.

  And naturally, the seniors of each sect rarely take action, so these comparisons can only be made from the disciples. A supreme sect, from the strength and weakness of its disciples, can naturally see the strength and weakness of that sect. Even a strong sect without excellent disciples will not be able to pass on its legacy.

  "Yes, Master!" The uniform and powerful voices rose again, the voices of so many disciples combined together, truly shaking the heavens.

  "Let's get to the point, I won't say much more here. Every three years, our sect holds a grand competition, and each time some extremely outstanding disciples emerge. This year's competition will start from now on, I hope you all don't disappoint us."

  " Sect Competition?" Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Zhangmen, then at the disciples who were rubbing their fists and palms. It seems that the competitive consciousness of Zhenwu Sect is also very strong, no wonder it can become a supreme sect. However, many sects seem to be doing these things, and selecting some excellent disciples is indeed a good method.

  "The most powerful disciple in each boundary will also receive extremely rich rewards, and of course, there may be great opportunities. Wu Santong looked at the puzzled Shangguan Yu and others, and directly transmitted his voice, "The gate's big comparison is generally a battle between the same boundaries, but you can also challenge an opponent who is one boundary higher than you."

  It's also true that being the first in the same realm is extremely powerful, and the Zhen Wu Men likes such disciples. Of course, if the age gap is too large, it may not work either. However, these problems definitely don't need to be considered by Shangguan Yu, they are things that the elders of the sect should consider.

  "Shall we participate in the Sect's Grand Competition, Master?" Shangguan Yu directly asked what Qin Shou and others were thinking.

  "This time you don't need to participate, but three years later the sect's grand competition is something you must attend. You've been here for so long and there are many things you don't know, and I'm too lazy to say them. If you ask me, I'll tell you; if not, I won't say anything. From now on, just move around more within the sect, no need to stay cooped up in my place all day."

  Shangguan Yu silently stared at Wu San Tong, it was clear that Wu San Tong didn't let them run around everywhere, now it seemed like they didn't want to run either. Having stayed there for three months, they were completely absorbed in learning those martial skills, otherwise they would have gotten bored long ago.

  But this time's sect competition is not bad, Shangguan Yu himself can't go on stage to compete, but watching others' matches is also good. Not to mention how much he can learn from it, just as a pastime it's a great choice. And he'll get to see the inner disciples and elite disciples in action, surely they won't disappoint him.

  "Alright, that's all for today. Let the Sect Competition begin!" The Upper Guardian's sect leader didn't waste any words and quickly got to the point. If it were the Deputy Dean of Tongling Academy last time, who knows how long he would have dragged on.

  "I still have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." The Upper Official looked at the middle-aged man who had handed the long spear to Upper Official Yu again, "You stay and deal with these matters with the elders. When the time comes, I will naturally come."

  "Yes, Master, I understand now." The young man said extremely respectfully, "I bid farewell to you, Master."

  Shangguan Zhongmen stood up and looked at the other seven people in their seats, "Fellow disciples, I'll take my leave first."

  "Senior brother, we're leaving too, let's go together." Apart from Wu San Tong, the Upper Guardian and seven others also left one after another.

  As the first day of the sect's grand comparison, there was nothing particularly exciting about the matches. The head of the Upper Palace definitely knew about these things, so he left early. Similarly, others who knew the situation also left as they should have. As for those who didn't leave, either they had unfinished business to attend to or were harboring some kind of thoughts in their hearts.

  "Master, aren't we leaving?" Shangguan Yu asked in a low voice, looking at Wu Santong who was sitting down.

  "Oh, I just thought you guys wanted to take a look around here." Wu San Tong took a glance at the situation in the field, "Also, it's only the first day today, there's nothing worth watching, let's go too."

  "Senior brother, is junior brother's disciple really that talented?" The woman asked as soon as they walked out of the square.

  The other five elders were also curiously looking at Shangguan Zuo, and they had long wanted to ask about this. It was just that Wu San Tong was by their side earlier, so none of them dared to ask. Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out, their junior sister asked about it.

  "You were just here a moment ago, can't you see for yourself?" The Upper Guardian said with an unpleasant tone.

  "Cough, Master Brother, you're not unaware," an old man said. "Just now, Little Master was right next to us. If we use our divine sense to probe his disciple, he'll definitely discover it in an instant."

  "You're all so old, why are you still so competitive?" Master Shang looked at his several junior brothers with a sigh. "Look at us, our hair and beards have turned white, what's there to still be unhappy about?"

  The other five elders could only smile wryly, being scolded by Upper Guardian was nothing new. Firstly, Upper Guardian was the leader of the True Martial Sect and held a higher position than them. Secondly, Upper Guardian was their senior fellow disciple, so speaking to them in such a manner wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

  "I don't know how good their qualifications are, because I didn't look closely either." Shangguan Zhongmen thought for a moment and said, "However, one of them has talent that is no less than my beloved disciple's."

  When they heard Shangguan Zhongmen say this, the others all revealed shocked expressions. However, when they heard what Shangguan Zhongmen said next, they were even more astonished.

  "And the one I gave the gun to is even better. Specifically, how good I can't say, after all, I'm not very familiar with these things either. But I can be sure that his qualifications are absolutely no less than our little Shidi. Can you understand what I mean?"

  "Master Shibo, are these four disciples you've recently accepted?" Just as Upper Guardian Yu had stepped down from the high platform, he heard this sentence in his ear.

  Shangguan Yu raised his eyes to look over, and the four true martial arts door disciples who came together looked like they were also coming with ill intentions. He had only been at the True Martial Arts Door for three months and hadn't offended anyone, so why did these four people seem to have a lot of hostility towards him? These four disciples looked like they were all in their twenties, probably considered old disciples of the True Martial Arts Door.

  Especially the first one, seems to have a deep hatred for Shangguan Yu. That kind of gaze, Shangguan Yu had only seen it in Shangguan Jiancheng's eyes before. However, now that Shangguan Jiancheng is dead, there's no way to verify it anymore.

  "Are you four kids?" Wu Santong looked at the four of them with a slanted gaze, "What? Do you still have any ideas about my four apprentices?"

  "'No way, no way,' one of them said with a forced smile. The other three also chimed in, apparently they still feared Wu San Tong."

  Shangguan Yu looked at his master, who was also the junior brother of Shangguan's master in Zhenwu Men and naturally had a very high status. Perhaps it was because he was Wu Santong's disciple that he thought Wu Santong was easy to talk to.

  "How is it that you four still don't pay respects after seeing your Master Uncle?" Wu San Tong pointed at the four of them, "These four are my disciples, and indeed they should be considered your Master Uncles, right?"

  "Ah, Master Shu's words are indeed correct." The leader of the group echoed in agreement, but his voice soon turned solemn. "We came this time to find out what qualifications you have. As our master's uncle, I'm sure you must have some exceptional abilities?"
