Xuantian 1: Ancient Xuandongtian

Chapter 230 A righteous heart and an upright mind.

In the arena.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators were fighting fiercely, but one of them was already showing signs of defeat.

Of course, only Mu Hanchan, the referee, could feel this; the audience and the two contestants were still unaware of it.

There is a saying that goes, those who are involved are often the most confused.

But sometimes the bystanders are also confused.

The reason why bystanders are confused is that they only see the surface and define the results based on appearances. The reason why those involved are confused is that they are easily trapped in their own subjective views and cannot look at the facts objectively.

The truly unconfused,
He is a person who can both understand the facts clearly and look at them objectively.

"You are a waste, and you still want to compete with me for the position of combat cultivator?" someone said contemptuously.

The other man said nothing. Although from the referee's perspective, he was already at a disadvantage, he still persisted.

"Don't waste your energy. If you give up now, I can let your mother go tonight, or... hehe, let her not be so tired." Seeing that the other party remained silent, the former continued to sneer.

Unexpectedly, someone in the audience said, "This is too much. A duel is a duel. Why are you insulting someone else's parents?"

A person next to him said, "This person is attacking the other person's mind, trying to influence his state of mind in order to win the duel."

"This method is not glorious even if you win."

But some people scoffed at this.

But some people also praised this, saying: "Victory itself is obtained by any means necessary, and this is also the kind of person who doesn't care what method is used as long as they can win."

"That's not the case. Those who win by this method are actually low-level people. For example, when countries are at war, don't they kill the envoys?"

"These are two different things. You are getting off topic."

"What I mean is that conspiracies and intrigues are not acceptable. People always respect those who scheme openly, even if they fail in the end. They despise those who scheme conspirators, even if they succeed in the end."

"Why is this?"

“This is because, in the hearts of most normal people, there is a sense of justice and integrity.”

Even conspirators sometimes admire those who scheme openly because they cannot do what the other party does.

Because there is still a remnant of justice and integrity in the hearts of the conspirators, even if it is extremely weak.

But sometimes they also hate the open schemer more because the other party can do what they cannot do.

The core of open conspiracy is that even if the conspiracy fails, we must reject the evil behind it.

An open conspiracy is actually a rejection of evil, while a secret conspiracy is an exploitation of evil.

The open strategy is to do one’s best and leave the rest to fate.

Conspiracy is to do all the evil things that people do and go against the will of heaven.

"But you know what, sometimes some dirty tricks are really practical and effective. Look at the man on the stage, his mentality has been affected."

As this person spoke, the situation on the stage indeed changed significantly.

After a while, there was a "bang" and a man fell on the stage, but he struggled to stand up and did not give up.

"You useless piece of shit, get down quickly! Why are you still standing up? Have you forgotten that your whole family has been living on their knees? I heard that the qualification for you to join the sect was obtained by your mother sleeping with someone else for one night, haha!" The former became more and more crazy.

Someone in the audience was discussing, "Hasn't this guy's points already exceeded the requirements of the Battle Cultivation Hall? Why is he still in the arena?"

"He went downstairs to dismantle the ladder. He didn't want more people to enter the Battle Cultivation Hall with him. This way, he would be able to obtain more resources."

"Do other servants in the yard do the same?"

"Basically, unless you pay money and tribute to others, they will be willing to let you enter the sect battle hall with normal points and become a battle cultivator. Otherwise, even if others have enough points, they will try to stop you and eliminate you in order to allocate more resources in the future."

"Just squeeze it like that?"

"Yes."

In the arena, the red-robed monk's points have reached 680, while the blue-robed monk's points are 595.

The combat cultivation score of the Zong Zhan Hall is 600. In other words, as long as the blue-robed monk wins this game again, he can enter the Zong Zhan Hall and become a combat cultivator.

But the Red Friar didn't need it.

However, the red monk did his utmost to suppress the blue monk, cut off his way to ascend, and did not hesitate to use physical and verbal humiliation to achieve his goal as much as possible.

It cannot be said that the selection system of Zongzhan Hall is unreasonable, because the world of immortal cultivation is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If one cannot even pass this level, then he is indeed not suitable to be a combat cultivator.

For some weak people, cruel screening rules are actually a form of protection.

If they pass it easily, they will die faster in the future.

On the ring, the blue-robed monk still refused to admit defeat and insisted on fighting. It was obvious that he could not give up this hard-earned opportunity.

After a long siege, they failed to capture the city, and even used psychological tactics, and they could not use hidden weapons.

The red monk was also a little annoyed. He looked at the noisy crowd below the stage and vented, "What are you looking at? A bunch of trash, what are you complaining about?"

"What did you say?"

Some people in the audience were also dissatisfied with the red-robed monk's attitude, and friction gradually arose in their words.

"Just you, idiot. Do you believe that I can knock you down with just one hand?"

"Keep your mouth clean!"

Mu Hanchan frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist in red, please be careful with your words and don't vent your emotions to the spectators around you."

Unexpectedly, the red monk did not buy it, and instead rushed towards Mu Hanchan angrily, saying, "I'm not angry at them, then I'll be angry at you, okay?"

Seeing the other party so emotional, Mu Hanchan remained silent.

The other party then said, "I'm talking to you. Can I not get angry at them but at you? You little referee in the Condensation Realm?"

There was another silence.

Mu Hanchan raised the yellow flag and said, "Red Daoist Friend, I'm warning you once again. Please do not use radical or inappropriate language to communicate."

"Warning me? What is your level of cultivation? Are you qualified to enforce the Lingyuan realm duel?"

"I am at the peak of the Condensation Realm, but I am also an intermediate referee, so please don't question my qualifications to judge, and please control your emotions." Mu Hanchan said again.

"What if I don't? I want to see your ID card now. Can you take it out and show it to me?" said the red-robed monk.

Mu Hanchan said: "My ID card hasn't come down yet."

"Then how do you have the nerve to stand here and act stupid? Without an ID card, how can you pretend to be so high and mighty?" the other party continued to provoke.

This time, Mu Hanchan did not hesitate and raised the yellow flag again, saying, "I warn you again, please do not use radical or inappropriate language to communicate! If you do it again, you will be directly judged as the loser and will be disqualified from entering the Zong Zhan Hall."

The red-robed monk was stunned.

The crowd in the audience also said: "This guy has hit a wall. I didn't expect this young referee to be so tough."

"Has he treated other referees the same way before?"

"Yes, this person has some background, so he has always been so arrogant and domineering."

In fact, if the red monk had calmed down at this point, nothing would have happened, and he would not have to bear the consequences for his attitude and wrong behavior.

But he was used to being so arrogant that he couldn't force himself to suppress his emotions and arrogance for the time being.

Besides, in his eyes, Mu Hanchan has not yet reached the Lingyuan realm. In his heart, he does not approve of someone with lower cultivation than himself to enforce his duel.

He was still hoping for the best and had an ostrich mentality, thinking: "This guy doesn't even have an ID card, so it's hard to tell whether this is real or fake?"

Then he said again: "If you dare to judge me as the loser, do you believe that I will beat you so hard that you will kneel down and beg for mercy like him?"

Mu Hanchan was unusually calm. He raised the yellow flag again and said coldly, "Three warnings. Because you insulted your opponent, belittled the spectators, and provoked the referee, I, as a mid-level referee, judge that you violated the rules in this fight and automatically lose. You have violated the rules three times. I will report it to the referee committee and pass it on to the Zong Zhan Hall."

He raised the blue flag again and declared, "Blue wins."

Then he left the ring without looking back.
