The solo compet.i.tion lasted until night.
With the Walkabout Sect disciple defeating the Five Poison Sect disciple, the last round ended.
Three people from the Hundred Flowers Palace advanced, making it the sect with the most people to qualify.
Su Xiaoxiao partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion as a descendant of the Jin family; she was not considered a headcount under of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The Heavenly Jade Hall and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion each advanced two people.
What was worth mentioning was that the Walkabout Sect, which was at the bottom of the ten sects, had actually advanced by two disciples.
In addition, the Hidden Sword Villa, the Lotus Sect, the Seven Green Sect, the Sea Sand Gang, the Five Poison Sect, the Mount Wu Sect, the Arhat Sect, and the Fire Slaughter Sect each advanced by one disciple.
Next was the chaotic battle of the martial artists.
Due to the large number of people, the arena could not accommodate them. It was changed to two rounds. No one advanced in the first round.
Fortunately, Su Mo, Wei Liulang, and Jing Yi were a.s.signed to the same match.
After sitting for a few hours, Xiahou Qing was a little tired. He left Xie Jinnian behind and returned to the palace.
As soon as he left, the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance was about to leave.
Not only that, but the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion seemed to be preparing to leave.
“They’re all gone? Aren’t they going to watch?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The Palace Lord said, “There usually won’t be too powerful experts in a chaotic battle between martial artists. They can’t be bothered to watch.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I heard that sects buy experts.”
The Palace Lord paid close attention to Su Mo and the other two, who were waiting in the crowd to go on stage. “There are indeed some, but they’re all from small sects. They can’t win against large sects in a one-on-one battle, so they would fight for the spot to partic.i.p.ate. Very few of those so-called experts are from hidden sects. Some are self-taught, and there are also a few bold disciples from large sects who will accept such missions.”
Su Xiaoxiao understood that there was a limit to the strength of these martial artists. No matter how one bought experts, they could not be stronger than the four major sects.
As for the disciples of the large sects who had been expelled from the sect, they would probably be beaten to death by the sect if they still dared to come and compete for money.
If not for the fact that he was at his wits’ end, he would not have accepted such a mission.
“Mount Wu Sect bought experts too!”
Lu Aotian said, “I saw.”
Xing’er asked, “Then, did the Fire Slaughter Sect buy any?”
Lu Aotian trembled. “Why would our Fire Slaughter Sect do such a thing?”
Xing’er hit the nail on the head. “You don’t have the money to buy them, right?”
Lu Aotian was speechless.
Next door, Madam Ji urged Ji Minglou to leave. “Aren’t you tired after sitting for so long?”
Ji Ming’s corridor said, “If you’re tired, go back first.”
Madam Ji looked at Yun Shuang on the other side of the bead curtain and snorted coldly.
Ji Minglou did not stay to watch the battle for Yun Shuang. He would watch all the martial arts compet.i.tions every year.
In the past, the Hundred Flowers Palace did not partic.i.p.ate. It was just a coincidence that they came this year.
However, Madam Ji was certain that Ji Minglou was doing this for Yun Shuang. She glared at Yun Shuang several times in anger.
The gong sounded, and the first chaotic battle began.
The originally wide arena could accommodate nearly 50 people at once. A couple could fall down if they squeezed.
Including those who had secretly formed an alliance, there were less than ten people left on the field.
“They’re fighting so strangely.” Xing’er scratched her head.
Lu Aotian said, “This often doesn’t involve martial arts. Luck accounts for half and brains for the other half. Do you see the one in the middle? The three of them surrounded him to ensure his advancement.”
With that, he calmly took a jelly bean.
“Can you do that?” Xing’er widened her eyes and tried her best to understand, not noticing that someone was stealing candy.
In the end, the young master who was surrounded and the other four advanced.
Next was the battle between Su Mo, Jing Yi, and Wei Liulang, which was also the last battle tonight.
The Lotus Sect, the Hidden Sword Villa, the Seven Green Sect, and the other sects also dispersed one after another.
It was true that the chaotic battle just now was too boring and there was nothing to watch. They basically did not have any hope for the next round.
“Sect Master, they’ve all left. Are we leaving?”
In the observation platform of the Walkabout Sect, a handsome male disciple asked the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman rested her head on one hand and lay on the beauty’s couch. She looked at Su Mo and Jing Yi in the middle of the crowd.
“Two more handsome men have come. This year’s martial arts compet.i.tion is finally something to watch. I was so bored in the past years.”
The male disciple handed over a plate of fruits.
The beautiful woman raised her hand and pushed it away. “Go and bet for me. Ten thousand taels each.”
“The sect master only placed 5,000 taels just now?”
The beautiful woman smiled charmingly. “The one just now is married. You can see but not eat. These two… I want them!”
“Aye.”
The male disciple carried the banknotes and went to place his bet.
