Chapter 100: Taking Turns to Appear! Gloating!
With the grand opening of the Inner Courtyard competition, various elders also made their appearances.
The most eye-catching among them was the Grand Elder of the Inner Courtyard, Su Qian.
As the highest-level event in the Inner Courtyard, the Grand Elder naturally had to attend and even preside over the competition.
"Hello, everyone. The highly anticipated Inner Courtyard competition is about to begin."
"I believe many of you have closed yourselves off to cultivate for this competition, just to achieve better rankings."
"Next, let me briefly introduce the rules. Participants will come up one by one to draw lots to determine their opponents!"
As each participant took the stage, the atmosphere heated up, with various cheers and shouts mixing together.
After Xiao Xuner and Little Doctor Fairy took the stage one after another, the cheers of the girls on the field overwhelmed everything else.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ze couldn't help but smile. These two girls had quite a charm among the female students.
He then glanced at Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya, whose rankings were still in the middle of the strong ranking.
When the next strong ranking competition comes, the one Xiao Yan participates in, they will occupy the second and third positions on the strong ranking.
However, at present, among the many strong individuals in the Inner Courtyard, they are not particularly outstanding.
The only advantage they have is that they have been in the Inner Courtyard for two years and seem to have outstanding talents.
However, unfortunately, there are even more outstanding talents in this session.
That would be Xiao Ze and his group, who have been in the Inner Courtyard for less than a year.
In this light, they seemed somewhat less remarkable.
Soon, the rankings reached the top ten, with each participant being a peak Dou Ling level powerhouse, triggering even more intense cheers.
Lei Jia, ranked third on the strong ranking, stood on the stage and looked at Xiao Ze, who then smiled slightly and gracefully ascended the platform.
Boom!
The cheering, more terrifying than the combined might of all the top ten contestants who came before him, made the entire central square tremble slightly.
In the Inner Courtyard, regardless of whether they were old or new students, regardless of gender, everyone cheered and supported Xiao Ze, eventually converging into a unified chant.
"Go, Xiao Ze!!!"
Seeing this, the other top ten contestants smiled bitterly and exchanged glances.
This guy's popularity is really off the charts.
However, considering the records and legends Xiao Ze has created since entering the Inner Courtyard, it's indeed enough to warrant such popularity!
Even the Grand Elder Su Qian looked at Xiao Ze with a strange expression.
He recalled various incidents involving Xiao Ze and found them somewhat unsurprising.
However, the next moment, the cheers in the entire square abruptly stopped.
Because a little girl with purple hair and wearing white clothes was slowly climbing onto the stage.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, she walked slowly to Xiao Ze's front.
That position represented.
The first on the strong ranking!
Some old students who had witnessed how aggressively Ziyue climbed to the top spot were unable to help but gulp when they saw her.
They looked at her with frightened eyes, not daring to underestimate her because of her small size.
Because they knew that beneath those fair and tender fists lay terrifying power!
"You're the new second on the strong ranking?" Ziyue crossed her arms, her tone domineering.
But with her small stature and appearance, some uninformed people found her somewhat cute.
However, in the eyes of those who truly knew, they dared not show any unusual behavior.
"It's me. What's the matter?" Xiao Ze said calmly.
"Hmph~ You look quite pleasing to the eye. I hope you can take a beating and not crumble like the others who couldn't even withstand one of my punches."
Ziyue said, squeezing her fists and casting a glance at the other top ten contestants.
With Ziyue's gaze sweeping over them, everyone felt their hair stand on end, secretly breaking out in a cold sweat.
"I also look forward to fighting you," Xiao Ze's words immediately earned him looks of great admiration from the other top ten contestants.
Fighting against the Tyrant, even just thinking about it, requires courage!
"Cough cough! Alright, next, each participant will draw lots to determine their opponents."
A mentor held a box containing red and blue bamboo sticks and walked towards Ziyue.
Ziyue very impolitely reached out her chubby little hand and grabbed a bamboo stick from inside: blue number thirteen.
Ziyue's rise to prominence had only occurred in the past few years, so most of the students on the strong ranking knew of her terrifying nature.
Seeing her draw blue thirteen, they fervently prayed in their hearts that they wouldn't draw red thirteen.
Otherwise, their journey in the strong ranking competition would end here.
After Ziyue finished drawing, the mentor quickly brought the box to Xiao Ze.
After all, even though he was an Inner Courtyard mentor, he didn't dare provoke this little monster.
Xiao Ze politely bowed and reached into the box, taking out a bamboo stick: blue sixteen.
Some of the top ten contestants also prayed fervently not to draw red sixteen.
Turning back, they suddenly realized that there were an absurd number of opponents to avoid in this session of the strong ranking!
Even the top two, when faced with the top ten of the strong ranking, weren't confident they could win.
In other words, even the top ten had to pray not to encounter these two!
As the drawing proceeded, the atmosphere on the stage grew increasingly tense.
Until, at one moment, Tang Hao with his sea-blue hair drew red thirteen!
Instantly, he felt his vision darken. Why was he so unlucky to face the Tyrant?!
Thinking of Ziyue's terrifying physical strength, his feet couldn't help but go weak.
The mentor responsible for the drawing couldn't help but shake his head lightly.
What bad luck!
Other students breathed a sigh of relief. At least they hadn't drawn that bamboo stick.
Cheng Xiu, standing beside Tang Hao, was still gloating, but then he looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, and his mouth twitched.
Red sixteen!
"Pffft!"
Tang Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?!" Cheng Xiu said through gritted teeth.
"Cough cough! I remembered something funny..."
Cheng Xiu glanced at the bamboo stick in Tang Hao's hand and snorted.
"I hope you'll be just as happy when you take the stage later!"
"You too!"
The two difficult brothers mocked each other.
And the audience below and on the stage burst into laughter.
These two with such terrible luck, drawing the top two spots on the strong ranking one after the other!
The other strong ranking students breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they didn't encounter these two monsters, they could still fight against the others.
The drawing quickly ended. There were five platforms in the central square, and the strong ranking competition usually took place on the central platform.
However, if the intensity of the battles caused the platform to be destroyed, they could continue the competition on the other platforms.
The Grand Elder drew a bamboo stick from the box in front of him, and the number on it was sixteen!
"Number sixteen!"
Below the stage, Xiao Ze stood together with Xiao Xuner and others, glancing at his own bamboo stick.
"The first one is me, so I'll start with a bang."
Xiao Ze's figure was light as he stepped onto the platform.
Cheng Xiu nervously climbed onto the stage.
The performance of both sides was immediately evident.
"Begin!"
A senior acted as the referee. As soon as his voice fell, Cheng Xiu's body fell directly to the ground.
Originally, the students below were still cheering Xiao Ze on, but they suddenly stopped when they saw this scene.
"Did he just concede directly?"
