The first round was a group fight with 4 inner disciples on both sides, this was the first time that they would compete against a different style of martial arts so both sides were nervous
When the referee blew the whistle the Qianli sect's Jin artists all rushed forward as their advantage was in close combat while the Xin artists leaped back while hurling balls of fire or turning the soil into a marsh
*swoosh swoosh*
Within minutes the Jin artists had defeated most of the Xin artists except a few who were particularly strong
"such comradery! Such teamwork! It's as if they are all working towards the same goal!"
The judges couldn't help but exclaim at the efficiency of the Qianli sect's martial artists
The Elders of the Mindar sect had sour expressions on their faces, usually they had the upper hand during the previous competitions and yet this time they had suffered a defeat in the first match
Elder Mo on the other hand looked on with pride, surely it was because of the friendship between disciples that had lead to this efficiency in combat, he too knew about how despite the known prejudice between outer and inner disciples in other sects, their's had nothing of the such
"kill, kill, kill!"
The inner disciples shouted in a frenzy as they defeated the last opponents and left the stage
"as expected of Qianli sect's disciples, each one fights as if the person before them wasn't another sect disciple but an enemy that had tormented them for years"
One of the judges applauded, an unwillingness to kill was common during competitions which was a big weakness during a fight, not to mention it wasn't very entertaining when they fought as if they were in a play
In the end the Qianli sect had not lost a single match between the inner disciples and it was now time for the competition between direct disciples
"next up! Disciple Via VS Disciple Dang fen!"
The announcer said as the crowd cheered and Dang Fen stood up from the side of the Mindar sect and walked up to the stage, I also stood up from the side of the Mindar sect and walked to the stage and put on my Qianli sect robes
"..."
Dang Fen staired at me blankly, not to long ago I was chatting merrily with the Mindar sect disciples as if I was one of them and now it turns out I was part of the Qianli sect
"are you really from the Qianli sect?"
The referee asked as he glanced at the elders of the Qianli sect to confirm
"of course!"
I said as I prepared for the match
"what an interesting approach from the Qianli sect, not only are their inner disciples well trained even their direct disciple are so cunning, he must have found out their weaknesses!"
The judges were even more surprised by the Qianli sect, such thorough training was hard to find and only those powerful sects in the Lin empire could compare
"I'm afraid after this day our Mindar sect will no longer hold the highest position in Fenglo County"
Said one of the elders of the Mindar sect as his face turned gloomy
