ls, the stock price will plummet into a state of collapse, trapping all available capital and leading to a broken financial chain.The entire company fell into paralysis and ultimately auctioned off it...The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the entire Liuguang Jianzong was in an uproar.

The Grand Master's disciple competition holds an extremely special significance for each individual.

Whoever is able to become a disciple of the Sect Master is equivalent to becoming half an heir of the entire sect, and even their status is not inferior to that of the other several Peak Masters.

That is why many people have been eagerly anticipating the day they could leap from fish to dragon, soaring to new heights. However, the date of the Sect Master's Grand Tournament has been repeatedly postponed, and finally settled on today.

The Third Peak, Zu Fangkui looked at Xue Ze before him.

"Disciple, today we must give it our all. After this, the Third Peak will depend on you."

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will certainly not disappoint you!"

Xue Ze's eyes also shone with excitement. He was originally one of the few great Ethan Xian disciples in the entire sect. In terms of strength, he could definitely rank among the top three, and normally, he was only second to Sima Cu.

On the Fifth Peak, the same scene was unfolding. Bailíng Pǔ patted Simacuo's shoulder.

"How is your cultivation recovery going"

Sima Zhuo said: "It has been completely restored to its original state, with no difference from before."

Bailíng Pǔ nodded. "This competition can only be won, not lost. We absolutely must become the Sect Leader's personal disciple."

"Rest assured, Master, there is no doubt about this."

Simatai's words were brimming with confidence, tinged with arrogance. However, it was understandable. To begin with, there weren't many Da Yi Xian among his disciples, and before this, he was widely recognized as the strongest.

The ancient medical guild, Luo Bingyan, Shen Qiyue, and Fu Jundie, the three of them were also eager to try.

To be a direct disciple of the sect master is every disciple's dream. Before, their hopes were not high, but now things are different.

With Ye Bufan's help, the three of them have all broken through to the Great Ethereal Immortal.

Even against powerful figures like their superior Ma Cuo and Xue Ze, they would stand a chance in battle. Naturally, they wouldn't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Shen Qiyun gave Ye Bufan a charming look: "Little Junior Brother, you have to thank me. When sister becomes the Sect Leader's direct disciple, I'll come back and spoil you."

"Don't dream about it, with me here, the Sect Master's personal teachings won't be yours to have."

Luo Bingyan usually speaks very little, but she and Shen Qiyue have always been at odds, so naturally they wouldn't back down when it came to the big competition.

"Two elder sisters, you are all good friends, there's no need to fight and hurt each other's feelings."

The little girl, Fu Jundie, giggled. "How about this I'll take on all the hard work that a master's direct disciple would have to do."

A few people were talking, and when the door opened, Feng Zhiwu walked in from outside.

Shen Qiyue said: "Little Dance, why are you here too Aren't you also going to participate in the grand competition"

"I'm not going."

Feng Zhiwu shook her head, “It’s Xiaofan who's going to participate.”

"What"

Luo Bingyan and the others instantly widened their eyes, each one looking shocked.

Although Ye Bufan commanded their respect, it was solely for his medical skills.

As for cultivation, he hadn't even managed to transform his Xian Yuan, so how could he possibly participate in the Grand Competition personally instructed by the Sect Master

Fu Jundie's beautiful eyes looked at Ye Bufan: "Sister Xiao Wu isn't joking, is she"

"It's no joke, I really am going to participate in the competition."

Ye Bufan naturally knew why they were surprised. He chuckled and said, "Although my cultivation isn't great, I've always been lucky. I thought I could give it a try. Even if I lose, it doesn't matter."

Fu Jundie nodded: "That's right, it's about the participation. It doesn't matter if we lose anyway. I just wonder if someone with Big Brother's cultivation level is allowed to participate."

Shen Qiyue said, "What's the use of thinking so much You'll know when you get there."

In their eyes, Ye Bufan was just there to make up the numbers, to be a bit player, they didn't take him seriously at all.

Several people left the Gu Yi Men medical hall together and rushed towards the Martial Arts Hall.

The Martial Arts Hall, one of the three major halls of the Flowing Light Sword Sect.

This is the entire sect's place for martial cultivation. In front of the gate stands a towering main hall, magnificent in scale.

A large "Wu" character hung in the center, giving one a strong sense of oppression. Legend has it that it was the authentic work left by the founder of the school.

Before the appointed time, countless disciples had already gathered here. Some came full of hope to participate in the grand competition, while others, knowing their abilities were insufficient, ran over to watch the spectacle.

The grand hall is preceded by a vast plaza, which even with all thirty thousand disciples assembled here, does not appear crowded.

Ye Bufan arrived here, looking at the scene before him couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

This fairyland realm is truly vast, with the most abundant resource being land. Just casually carving out such a large square like this.

"Silence!"

Dao Jie's deep voice once again echoed through the air. The originally noisy square instantly fell silent, a pin could be heard dropping.

Then three figures appeared in mid-air, with the elder Hua Bingyu at the center.

On the left stands Dao Jie, the master of the Enforcement Hall. On the right is a middle-aged man with black beard who appears to be unfamiliar. He is Hong Tian, the master of the Martial Arts Hall.

Legend has it that this person was a martial arts fanatic, in charge of the Martial Arts Hall, and rarely involved himself in other matters within the sect.

That's why Ye Bufan had never seen it before.

"I am in charge of today's grand disciple competition for the Sect Master. Everyone must follow my instructions."

Hua Bingyu's expression was cold and stern, her whole body exuding a powerful aura.

This competition is different from previous ones. Instead of competing against each other, participants will be assessed uniformly.

The first round tests cultivation, the second round tests mental power, and the third round tests combat ability.

If no one passes the three rounds of assessment, then this grand competition will be voided, and no one will be eligible to become the Sect Master's direct disciple.

"If multiple people pass, the final decision will be made by the sect leader personally."

After his words, a hush fell over the room. But within each heart, a wave of emotion was stirring.

According to everyone's previous ideas, the winner would be decided by a martial arts competition, and the ultimate victor would become the sect leader's direct disciple. However, it turned out that the competition was held in this unexpected form.

Not only did the disciples present not expect it, but even the heads of the Nine Peaks did not expect it.

As if sensing the emotions of the crowd, Hu Bingyu swept her gaze across the entire venue: "Well, does anyone have any questions"

Bailinger said, "Elder, I have a small question."

The sect master selecting an apprentice, shouldn't it be based on who is the most powerful Why not determine the victor through martial arts

"It's simple, the Sect Master chose his personal disciple based on both strength and potential, which is why there's this assessment today."

Hu Bingyu said, “Today’s three assessments were all personally set by the sect master. Everyone just needs to obey.”

"Oh!"

Hearing that the sect leader had personally demarcated it, Bai Ling had nothing to say. There was no way to change such a thing, and she could only follow the rules.

He was also confident in his disciple Sima Cu, believing he had the strongest abilities. The assessment was merely a formality and would not significantly impact the outcome.

Even Lian Fengzhu, the chief, had fallen silent. Naturally, no one else dared to ask any questions.

Huabingyu continued, "Alright, I'll announce the conditions for this competition again. Anyone under a thousand years old who is a disciple of the Liuguang Sword Sect can participate."

"Uh..."

Hearing this condition, everyone was taken aback. This was simply a condition with no conditions at all.

The LiuGuang Jian Zong has over 30,000 disciples, with over 80% of them being under a thousand years old. This means that almost all of the disciples can participate.

I originally thought that the Sect Master would at least set the cultivation level to Xuanxian when selecting his disciples, but I didn't expect the results to be like this.across her face.This slap was crisp and resounding, echoing throughout the entire banquet hall, once again shocking everyone.Everyone in the upper circles of the Imperial Capital knows that Denise is...
