Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable Chapter 926: Newcomers Competition

Chapter 926: Newcomers Compet.i.tion

Martial Mountain City.

The streets were lively with decorated lights and lion dance performances.

Today was considered a big day for Martial Mountain City.

Each year on this date, there would be a new disciple compet.i.tion.

It was also a day for new disciples to show how outstanding they were to the public. Whether a silver level force would select them or not depended on today.

The thirteen sects of Martial Mountain City treated today with utmost importance.

If a disciple gets picked by a silver level force, the sect will receive much more resources the following year.

The thirteen sects of Martial Mountain City belonged to a silver level force. They were managed by the Towering Cloud City’s Bai family. The Bai family treated all thirteen of them equally. Whoever can nurture an outstanding disciple will receive rewards and more cultivation resources.

Cultivation resources were basically the power source for these thirteen forces to rise up.

As long as they gain more cultivation resources, their sect will expand and may eventually end up as the strongest force in the whole of Martial Mountain City. There was even a chance for them to rise up to become a silver power.

Apart from having disciples selected, there were other ways to get rewards from the Bai family.

Contribution points!

The annual offerings to the Bai family that included high grade spiritual herbs and various treasures all gave contribution points.

The thirteen forces all tried desperately hard each year in order to get more cultivation resources.

With the Bai family’s suppression in place, no one dared to act too recklessly in the open. If things go too far and a huge battle takes place, the Bai family will heavily punish all those involved. This was obviously not a good thing for any of the thirteen sects.

That’s why the thirteen sects usually held back from major battles with each other just for today’s compet.i.tion.

Today, they could kill those that needed killing in the most ruthless way!

This year’s new disciple compet.i.tion was especially lively because there was a middle talent disciple that was recruited by the Spirit Gathering Sect. With so many low talent disciples around, a middle talent disciple was like an especially bright star in a cloudless sky.

“This year’s champion is definitely someone from the Spirit Gathering Sect.”

“Do you even need to say that? Which low talent disciple here is a match for the Spirit Gathering Sect’s middle talent Wu Feng? A single level difference in talent means a huge gap in cultivation speed. Who can be his opponent here?”

“I heard Wu Feng already broke through to the Spirit Martial 4th rank.”

“What?! That fast?!”

“Breaking through all the way to Spirit Martial 4th rank in a month? Isn’t this a bit too powerful? It looks like the Spirit Gathering Sect will clinch the championship this year for sure.”

“Wu Feng will definitely be selected by the Bai family. As long as he cultivates for two years, he will formally become a Bai family’s disciple. At that time, the Spirit Gathering Sect’s contribution points will surpa.s.s the other twelve sects. This means they will receive the most cultivation resources, become much stronger, and will be destined to rule over Martial Mountain City.”

Just a middle talent disciple can change a sect’s fate.

This is similar to a s...o...b..ll game one plays on a mobile device.

If you don’t know what you’re doing and your opponents seize the opportunity to make their s...o...b..ll bigger, then there’s no way for you to catch up to them anymore.

Wu Feng’s talent was one of the best right now.

Many people didn’t know that half a month ago, there were people from the Bai family who were secretly in touch with him already.

He could have joined the Bai family half a month ago, but he wasn’t in a rush to leave. He wanted to fight on a stage to become number one. This will allow the entire Martial Mountain City to know his name, and his status will be a bit higher when he enters the Bai family. No matter what, the t.i.tle of being number one in Martial Mountain City will have some effect.

The leader of the Spirit Gathering Sect was relieved by Wu Feng’s choice.

Wu Feng becoming number one was a certainty since there were no disciples capable of shaking his position.

When he becomes the champion, the Spirit Gathering Sect’s influence will greatly increase in Martial Mountain City. This was also an important strategy for them to gain more resources next year since Wu Feng would have gotten the championship prior to entering the Bai family.

The sect leader of Spirit Gathering Sect instantly rewarded Wu Feng with two tier 2 cultivation pills.

This was a big contributor to him successfully breaking into the Spirit Martial 4th rank.

Spirit Martial 4th rank was a realm that many low talent martial artists couldn’t even reach their whole lives.

Yet he used less than a month!

This was the gap in talent that can never be bridged!

Many people were discussing various topics as the crowd slowly surged toward the center of Martial Mountain City, where there was a huge circular plaza.

This was the center of Martial Mountain City.

In the middle of the plaza was a round stage.

Around the plaza were specific sections set up for the thirteen sects. There was also a large open s.p.a.ce that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. This would allow the regular people of Martial Mountain City to spectate the event.

On one side of the plaza was a luxurious looking building.

The building was divided into three floors.

The building was carved with dragons and phoenixes to display how extraordinary it was. Outside the building were two teams of disciples with powerful cultivations guarding on both sides. No one dared to get near them. In the middle of the three-story building was a stone plaque carved with certain characters.

Gambling Pavilion!

There would usually be no one in the building during regular times.

It was opened today just for the wagering bets for this year’s Newcomer Compet.i.tion.

Carved above the words Gambling Pavilion was a lifelike snow lotus.

This snow lotus represented the Dongfang family, which was even stronger than the Bai family. The Bai family would never dare to provoke them. This Dongfang family never interfered with the forces and matters of Martial Mountain City. They only appeared here and in other cities on special occasions.

The Dongfang family was a very mysterious existence.

Rumors say the Dongfang family rose up as a gambling family. The tens of thousands of cities in the Ancient World all had a Dongfang family’s Gambling Pavilion.

“The payout odds are out!”

Many gamblers with shiny bright eyes milling about the Gambling Pavilion instantly swarmed into the building.

“Hahaha, Wu Feng has the lowest payout of 1:1.”

“After deducting the betting fee, you can still earn a little bit of money! Hahaha… Even though it isn’t that much, I’m still betting on Wu Feng taking the championship. I’ll bet ten xuan coins! That’s my half a year’s savings! I’m going to count on that to become rich, hahaha…”

“Huh?”

“Do you guys see that? Take a look! Under the lowest odds is a person that hasn’t entered any sects – Luo Tian?”

“Who is that person?”

“The payout is actually 1:15?”

“I think such a high payout is the first time in the Gambling Pavilion’s history!”

“He didn’t enter any sects? Did the Gambling Pavilion make a mistake, or did he really not get accepted by anyone?”

“How can the Gambling Pavilion make a mistake? You should know they are the first ones, along with the thirteen sects, to get the name list of Martial Mountain City disciples, so there’s no way they could’ve made a mistake.”

“Then that’s really strange.”

People started discussing their doubts with one another.

The manager of the martial training ground, Ah Si, walked in and looked at the payout ratios. He almost sprayed out his breakfast upon seeing it. “Hahaha… hahaha… I’m going to laugh myself to death at this rate! That piece of trash managed to make it onto the payout board!”

“Let me tell you guys… Luo Tian has zero talent and has a shattered dantian. No one from the thirteen sects was willing to take him in. He is possibly the biggest trash in all of the Ancient World’s history!”
