Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 176 - 139 The Gamble Begins_2

"Hmm! Are your injuries better now?"

Yu Yunyi felt a bit shy. Fu Chao was such an annoying guy; knowing the situation, he still deliberately said those things!

"I’m fine! In perfect condition! If it weren’t for the small competition in the Outer Sect, I would be standing here, and with a bit of effort, I would break through my cultivation!"

Li Yunjing laughed heartily, his gaze falling on the beautiful face before him, momentarily losing focus.

"What are you looking at!"

Yu Yunyi coquettishly chided, her cheeks flushing with a rosy blush, making the beautiful girl appear like a blooming flower.

"Looking at the most beautiful and enchanting woman in the world!"

Li Yunjing chuckled softly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his starry eyes, which were fixed on Yu Yunyi’s autumn-water-like eyes.

As their eyes met, Li Yunjing’s gaze became somewhat bold, causing Yu Yunyi to shyly lower her head, seemingly unable to meet his gaze.

An awkward tension arose between them, and Yu Yunyi’s heart raced...

"Hee hee! Are you two no longer hiding your affections?"

At this ambiguous moment, an exceptionally beautiful woman appeared.

Her words made Li Yunjing raise his eyebrows, thinking to himself, "Annoying person..." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Yu Yunyi, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief as her chest heaved, her heart pounding like a heavy mountain pressed upon her.

Only this voice could make Yu Yunyi feel somewhat relieved.

Li Yunjing’s gaze was too intimidating, frightening Yu Yunyi like a startled little rabbit...

At this moment, Yu Yunyi looked at Lv Ruoxi in her purple palace attire and felt a faint gratitude towards her.

"Ahem!"

Li Yunjing cleared his throat lightly, looked at Lv Ruoxi, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Lv, shall we go in together?"

"Sure! As long as it doesn’t interfere with Yu Yunyi’s future happiness, I’d be happy to accompany you."

Lv Ruoxi giggled, giving Yu Yunyi a playful glance.

"Sigh!"

With a soft sigh, Yu Yunyi seemed to have something on her mind, not retorting to Lv Ruoxi’s teasing for the first time.

Li Yunjing was in the middle, flanked by two peerless beauties.

The three of them walked side by side, chatting and laughing.

This scene made many disciples seethe with anger, wishing they could knock Li Yunjing down and take his place.

Unfortunately, everyone knew how powerful Li Yunjing was now, and no one dared to act rashly.

...

Upon reaching the Martial Arts Arena, Lv Ruoxi and Yu Yunyi chose not to sit at the podium but sat on either side of Li Yunjing.

This made Yan Dingzhi and Jin Shouyun, who originally wanted to chat with Li Yunjing to strengthen their bond, smile wryly at each other.

The two were not foolish; they nodded towards Li Yunjing and his companions from a distance as a form of greeting.

Yan Dingzhi and Jin Shouyun found seats near Li Yunjing and sat down.

Today, the weather was nice and sunny, with a spring-like atmosphere.

The Martial Arts Arena’s attendance reached a new peak. Li Yunjing estimated there were about fifty thousand people!

Moreover, there were noticeably more Inner Sect disciples in blue robes this time.

Clearly, the top 64 competition intrigued even the Inner Sect disciples who were eager to see what remarkable figures emerged this year.

The top 64 from the Outer Sect competition often quickly advanced to the Inner Sect.

These newcomers were also competitors for the veteran Inner Sect disciples!

In the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," positions were limited, and if the new Inner Sect disciples lacked talent and connections, the tasks arranged by the Sect would only be slightly better than those of Outer Sect disciples.

In reality, it wouldn’t change their status much.

The only consolation might be that Inner Sect disciples could learn things that Outer Sect disciples couldn’t.

At this time, the veteran Inner Sect disciples naturally wanted to see if there were any formidable characters among the newcomers who might threaten their status.

One must know the competition among Inner Sect disciples was far more intense than in the Outer Sect.

Many had to participate in missions outside the Sect to gain more resources for cultivation.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

As Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi chatted, the bell tolled in the Martial Arts Arena.

Overnight, half of the stages in the Martial Arts Arena had been dismantled, leaving only thirty-two!

Soon, a line of text appeared on Li Yunjing’s Identity Token.

[64 to 32 match: Li Yunjing vs. Yan Dingzhi]

"No way? Such a coincidence?"

When Li Yunjing saw the message, he was a bit stunned and couldn’t help looking at Yan Dingzhi, who wasn’t far away.

Yan Dingzhi was also looking over with a wry smile.

Both of them felt a mix of helplessness and amusement.

Out of 64 people, it was such a coincidence that they got paired together?

"Brother Li, I concede!"

Yan Dingzhi didn’t even get up; he sat in his seat, tapped the rejection option on his Identity Token, and forfeited the match.

In an instant, new text appeared on Li Yunjing’s Identity Token, indicating he had advanced to the top 32.

"Hehe! Brother Yan, I’m sorry!"

Li Yunjing scratched his nose, showing a hint of apology as he spoke to Yan Dingzhi.

"Brother Li, there’s no need to be so formal! I really am no match for you! Going up there would just mean taking a beating from you. What’s the point? Losing is fine! After all, making it to the top 64 is already an achievement; it’s not a loss!"

Yan Dingzhi was quite carefree and didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

There was really no other choice!

Li Yunjing’s overwhelming strength had earned Yan Dingzhi’s sincere respect.
