My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 205: A raging fire ignites in the eyes of the undercover agents!

Upon hearing this, the spiritual energy that Su Ling'er's dozen or so undercover junior brothers had just gathered instantly froze, and their movements stopped halfway.

"A competition for newly recruited disciples?"

"So... so we newbies are just fighting against newbies?"

"No, Senior Brother,"

"How can this kind of competition be called a sect competition?"

"You and your fellow senior brothers and sisters... are not involved in it?"

This question voiced everyone's doubts.

The grand sect competition they envisioned in their minds should be a scene of soaring spiritual light, clashing magical treasures, and the sect's strongest members vying for ranking.

The current arrangement has turned into a struggle between these newly initiated disciples.

A warning bell rang in Su Ling'er's mind.

Something is wrong! This is definitely not right!

What's this devil up to now?

Is this how the sect competition is conducted?
No, there must be a bigger secret hidden behind this!
Looking at the expressions of disappointment and relief on everyone's faces, Lin Qingfeng felt a smile rise in his heart.

He knew it was time for him to make up some excuse!
He cleared his throat, did not answer directly, and glanced at everyone.

"You think this is just a simple sparring match?"

"What you see is merely the surface; it does not touch the root of the problem."

"Do you know why the sect has settled you new disciples in this land?"

The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Qingfeng's lips curled upwards:

"Because this place is called 'Hidden Dragon Abyss'!"

It's actually the NPC's residence!
"This grand competition is meant to ignite the flame of enlightenment within you unpolished gems, allowing you to rise from the depths of obscurity. This is our sect's heartfelt wish for our newly initiated disciples!"

Su Ling'er's eyes twitched uncontrollably as she listened, and the little voice inside her was already banging its head against the ground.

Hidden Dragon Abyss?!
Returning it to its raw state?!

While I'm pleased to hear you say that, could you at least write a draft before you start bragging, Senior Brother?

If we, a bunch of oddballs and flawed individuals, can be considered rough gems, then what are true geniuses?
Is it a divine stone that separated heaven and earth?!

"As for why we don't participate... Hmph, our path is already firmly established, and we need not prove it to anyone anymore."

If I were to make a move, the pressure of my spirit on you would be as devastating as a mountain collapsing, leaving no chance for any tempering or training.

Your path to immortality should be forged through fierce battles within the same realm, nourished by the blood of your opponents!
Today, we are your protectors, your witnesses as you embark on the path to becoming powerful!

The game rules didn't even let me participate, so what's the point of beating up a bunch of weaklings like you!
His gaze shifted to Su Ling'er, the person with the highest cultivation level in the crowd, and he added:

"Of course, if any of you have exceptional talent and catch my eye..."

"For example, if one can shake Junior Sister Su's foundation with one's own methods, then one's future status within the sect will be incomparable!"

"Moreover, the top four in the sect competition will be eligible to enter the Guixi Secret Realm!"

Upon hearing this, the undercover agents all turned their heads and their gazes fell on Su Ling'er.

Then, except for Ye Longtao, they all lowered their heads.

Yeah! Someone you can't beat even with friendship, passion, or hard work!

Then the other undercover agents looked at Ye Longtao, their eyes blazing with anger, but they all lowered their heads again.

Then they looked at Dong Changsheng, their eyes blazing with fury, and then they all lowered their heads again.

They looked at Wang Xiedi again, where flames were burning fiercely, and then they thought of his ghost wife, the one with the curse of the Core Formation stage, and then they all lowered their heads again.

Then they turned to Li Chunfeng, and this time their eyes finally blazed with a fierce flame that would never bow down again!

Although there are only four people, who knows, these people might have been eliminated in the preliminary rounds?
They felt they weren't entirely without a chance. But Su Ling'er really wanted to complain when she heard her senior brother's words.

No, senior brother, what do you mean?!

Are you trying to provoke me?!
Wasn't my status as a saint forced upon me by you?!
Ye Longtao looked at Su Ling'er, Wang Xiedi, and Dong Changsheng, his eyes burning with fierce flames.

Don't let me run into you guys at the Grand Tournament!

Is this the kind of opportunity that you pseudo-spiritual roots deserve to enjoy?
Su Ling'er felt like she was being watched by a thorn in her back. No, was someone really targeting her?

Could it be Ye Longtao, that guy who likes to court death?

Regardless of the circumstances, she took a step forward and gave Lin Qingfeng a bright smile:

"Senior Brother is wise! I understand the profound meaning behind Senior Brother's words!"

It is my honor to be a whetstone for my fellow students!

Junior sister will certainly live up to senior brother's high expectations and give the junior brothers some good guidance!

You bunch of devils, you just keep finding ways to torment us!
"very good."

Lin Qingfeng nodded upon seeing this.

"Now that you all understand, please follow me to the training ground!"

……

The group followed Lin Qingfeng, passing through the paths and the sect buildings they passed every day, and finally arrived at the martial arts arena.

However, the sight ahead brought all the undercover agents to a halt.

The open space that once existed no longer exists.

The ground is paved with basalt, and the surface of the rock is covered with array patterns.

Dozens of totem poles, each carved with a dragon and phoenix intertwined, have been erected around the square.

Between the pillars, banners painted with ferocious beasts were hung.

To the north of the square, a high platform made of white jade rises abruptly from the ground.

The spiritual energy gathered around the high platform, forming clouds and mist that lingered and did not dissipate.

Several figures had already taken their seats on the high platform.

Seated in the central position was Qian Buyu, dressed in the robes of a sect leader, the silk threads of which shimmered with a faint light.

On either side of him stood a group of high-ranking officials, including the Transmission Elder and the Enforcement Elder.

When Su Ling'er saw this scene, she felt a sense of déjà vu washing over her once again.

Here it comes again...

She saw that "Sect Master Qian" on the stage seemed to be talking to "Elder Qian" beside him, their heads nodding from time to time.

"Alas, this year's new disciples are of decent aptitude, but I wonder about their character."

"What the sect leader said is absolutely right. He still needs a lot of training before he can become a pillar of our sect."

This scene of self-response and internal conflict sent a chill down the spines of all the undercover agents.

My God... these puppets... they're still putting on an act?!

Who are they putting on a show for?!

Are they putting on an act for us?!

And what's with the "qualities are decent" thing?

We're a bunch of pseudo-spiritual roots. Except for Ye Longtao, who has dual spiritual roots, we're all pseudo-spiritual roots!
Is this some kind of terrifying welcoming ceremony?!

Lin Qingfeng looked at the Qian Buyu and others on the stage who were still carrying out the established procedures, and felt a little bitter.

Ugh, what's going on?

Didn't I already complain to customer service?
