Chapter 238 Individual Competition Begins
The Mingyue Valley trial is over, and the Mingyue Sect still firmly holds the first place because of Gu Ning.
Gu Ning is famous now. Wherever he goes, there are people hiding and "pointing and talking" at him. Gu Ning says that it doesn't matter. Just let them watch. It won't hurt him.
So when the individual competition list was released, everyone subconsciously looked for Gu Ning's name.
"Swish, swish, swish", they looked from top to bottom and from bottom to top, not missing a single inch, but they couldn't find Gu Ning's name.
"Where's Gu Ning?"
"Where did Gu Ning go?"
"Isn't she going to compete in the individual events?"
"..."
Amid the noise, Gu Ning saw his name appear in an incredible place.
Byes: Gu Ning.
The two lonely words were placed carelessly on a separate list, and were pasted on the back of the wooden fence of the battle list with great care.
If Gu Ning hadn't thought there were too many people in front of her and decided to wait at the back for a while, she probably wouldn't have discovered this secret.
"Junior sister, you got a bye?" Ye Xiaoshu looked over and raised an eyebrow. "That's great. No need to fight in a round-robin match. I can reach the finish line directly."
The individual competition is naturally not a simple individual competition. It is a two-person competition. The loser is eliminated and the winner advances to the next round.
The next round will not give the winner any time to catch his breath. After winning, he will immediately compete with the other team of winners again. This random cycle will be repeated until there are only twenty winners left, and the preliminary round of the individual competition will end.
After the end, it will be the rematch.
The semi-finals are simpler, with the bottom ten challenging the top ten, and the winner can replace their place.
The top ten will eventually be selected to enter the finals.
The finals are to determine the rankings and award prizes.
So Ye Xiaoshu felt that Gu Ning got a bargain because she didn't need to participate in the first round of screening.
With their strength, they will definitely enter the semi-finals.
If the round-robin tournament in the preliminary round consumes too much energy, it will not be of any benefit to the subsequent semi-finals and finals.
Gu Ning didn't care. She could save as much as she could and spend as much as she could. However, there was one thing she didn't quite understand. "Then I have a bye. What place do I get in the semi-finals?"
"No. 21." Meng Jia continued, "My suggestion is that you should directly challenge the top five when the time comes."
"Why?" Gu Ning was puzzled. Shouldn't the best solution to save time and effort be to challenge the tenth place?
This way you don't have to spend more effort and you can also enter the finals safely and preserve your strength.
"Because in the finals, the top five can choose a challenger and have the right to refuse."
In other words, if Gu Ning is ranked tenth, if he wants to move to a higher position, it depends on whether the top five agree or not.
If he didn't agree, Gu Ning wouldn't be able to make it into the top five.
At most, she was just forcing a challenge for sixth place.
After thinking this through, Gu Ning couldn't help but pout, "Who made this rule? It feels so unreasonable."
Meng Jia patted Gu Ning's shoulder and said, "So I suggest again that you can directly challenge the first place in the semi-finals."
When the time comes, she can fight if she wants to, and not fight if she doesn’t want to.
Gu Ning thought it made perfect sense. By that calculation, she only needed to fight one battle.
Hmm...not bad, not bad.
As he spoke, he successfully attracted the attention of the other disciples. Groups of disciples slowly walked over and found that Gu Ning was not on the turn...
Everyone’s expression: Oo?
She is so powerful that even the destiny of heaven favors her...
Gu Ning smiled and walked out under the envious gazes of the crowd.
Crunching melon seeds, Gu Ning paced back and forth on the intense competition field.
After a while, he saw a disciple being kicked down at his feet. Gu Ning said: "Hohoho, hurry up and get up and continue."
Without stopping, Gu Ning looked at the next venue and saw another disciple's talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and he killed himself before he could even throw it out.
Gu Ning: "Interesting, quite interesting..."
In another scene, a disciple hit Gu Ning's back with a "bang", almost scaring her. She lowered her head slightly, and saw a disciple at her feet grabbing the hem of Gu Ning's clothes tightly.
"I want to win, I want to win..."
As he spoke, blood gushed out of his mouth and Gu Ning could no longer crack the melon seeds in his hand.
This is not a one-shot approach...
She snapped her fingers and a healing pill shot into the mouth of the disciple who was vomiting blood. Then she raised her eyes and looked towards the arena.
It was a strange pale face, which was looking at him with a smile at this moment.
Don't know...
No impression...
But this expression seems familiar...
Gu Ning frowned slightly. The man's expression made her feel a little disgusted for no reason.
When he looked away, Gu Ning heard the disciples around him cheering.
“Shen Wuxian!”
“Shen Wuxian!”
“Shen Wuxian!”
He was a disciple of Yufeng Sect, and Gu Ning recognized him at the first sight.
But who is Shen Wuxian?
Isn’t there only one Shen Wuji in Yufeng Sect?
Their disciples don't call him "senior brother" but call him by his full name...
A bit strange...
"Senior Sister Gu Ning." Just as I was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from the stage, which seemed to carry a hint of teasing for no reason.
Gu Ning turned to look at him, and the disciples around him suddenly became quiet.
Shen Wuxian stood at the edge of the arena, looking down at Gu Ning with a condescending smile.
"Senior Sister Gu Ning, I am Shen Wuxian, your disciple. May I exchange some ideas with you?"
All the disciples immediately looked at Gu Ning.
Gu Ning tilted his head, "Sure, we'll see you in the semi-finals."
"Why did Senior Sister Gu Ning get a bye?" Shen Wuxian raised a smile, "Could it be that... the head of Mingyue Sect feels sorry for Senior Sister Gu Ning..."
His voice was drawn out, full of sarcasm.
Everyone looked at Gu Ning, waiting for her reaction.
How would Gu Ning react when his face was questioned in public?
Gu Ning was not angry or annoyed, he rolled his eyes slowly, "Then what, kill me, or kill my master?"
This reaction made everyone stunned. A trace of doubt flashed across Shen Wuxian's face, "You..."
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you." Gu Ning said directly, "Do you think I have to answer just because someone says something half-truthful?"
Gu Ning smiled contemptuously, "Who do you think you are!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Ning walked away.
It is impossible to explain to such an impolite person who deliberately makes trouble. The most satisfying thing is to make him speechless.
After all... who do you think you are to deserve my explanation?
Only after Gu Ning's back disappeared did the disciples come back to their senses.
"Oh my god, Senior Sister Gu Ning is so crazy, I like it."
"He is a disciple of the Mingyue Sect and the most beloved disciple of Sect Leader Song. He has a good temper."
"Indeed, Senior Sister Gu Ning is indeed confident."
On the stage, Shen Wuxian looked grim. As long as Gu Ning explained one sentence, there would be more than a dozen versions circulating here, and no matter whether there was a shady deal or not, it would be discussed by others.
But Gu Ning didn't play by the rules, and started to argue when he didn't agree with her...
Shen Wuxian jumped off the platform and went to look for the next challenger with a gloomy face.
Gu Ning, see you in the semi-finals.
