The Qingyun Sect's team consisted of eight people: Lin Wuwang, Fang Lingshan, Fang Lingyun, Zhou Baichuan, Shen Qingqing, and three inner disciples whose names I don't know.

On the Lingxiao Sect's side, there were only four people and a fat bird, plus a round little stone monster wearing a flowery cotton-padded jacket. The two forces successfully clashed.

Yunxi felt the atmosphere suddenly become tense. She blinked blankly, but didn't really have any desire to fight. She even greeted Lin Wuwang in a friendly manner: "Hi, it's been a long time~"

Lin Wuwang: "..."

The young man glanced over and immediately noticed the colorful little stone monster. He frowned in confusion and asked, "What's that thing behind you?"

The little stone monster was a bit shy. Upon hearing this, it shrank behind Qi Jue in fear, then jumped up fiercely and bared its teeth at Lin Wuwang.

Qi Jue turned around and patted its head: "Don't be afraid!"

It seemed like she wanted to offer comfort, but hadn't thought of any lines to say.

The boy blurted out, "Even if he wanted to eat you, he couldn't chew you up."

Lin Wuwang: "???"

The little stone monster was so round and plump that it could only cover half of its body, leaving the other half exposed. From a distance, it looked like Qi Jue was carrying a giant floral cotton-padded jacket.

"A stone monster?"

Lin Wuwang seemed to have found the answer himself, and became even more curious about these people.

Their main task in entering the secret realm was to collect points and bring glory to their sect. It seems this stone monster was found within the realm, so it should also count as a point. However, it's rather illogical that Yunxi and the others aren't fighting it but instead bringing it along to play.

Lin Wuwang pondered for a long time.

Before they could figure it out, they saw several people in front of them moving their feet in unison, like crabs, walking sideways in front of the Qingyun Sect disciples, trying to slip away from them in another direction.

Lin Wuwang felt a sudden emptiness in front of him, and when he looked up, the group almost ran away.

"!!!"

The young man's eyes widened, and he drew his sword, pointing it directly at Xie Mo: "Again?"

Lin Wuwang said, "This time I won't let you escape again!"

Xie Mo withdrew his foot, his gaze drifting over to Yun hope, where he briefly interacted with the little girl for a few seconds.

Seeing the group exchanging silent glances right under his nose, Lin Wuwang felt a huge "well" above his head.

Fang Lingshan asked, "Where did you get your points from?"

The boy's tone was even more aggressive than Lin Wuwang's; it was more like an interrogation than a question.

Qi Jue disliked his tone and pursed her lips.

The boy had not yet spoken.

Yun Xi tugged at him, revealing a confused little face.

Yunxi tilted her head: "What points?"

"We're on a spring outing in the secret realm? We haven't fought a single monster, so how can we get any points?"

Yunxi was well-behaved, Yunxi was bewildered, Yunxi revealed an innocent baby look in her eyes.

"?"

Shen Qingqing frowned subconsciously.

Even on the verge of death, he still tried to argue. Fang Lingshan was very dissatisfied with his attitude: "What are you pretending to be confused about? You are currently ranked number 1 on the leaderboard."

She raised her hand in surprise and pointed to her nose: "Me?"

"Me?"

Fang Lingshan was stunned for a moment. Seeing the girl's innocent appearance, he thought she was just lucky and unaware of her good fortune. He kindly took out his token and showed her the points leaderboard.

However, the standings are not yet fully available.

Yunxi threw a dragon bone sword directly at the token that recorded the points.

The token shattered instantly.

A teleportation array appeared at the foot of Fang Ling Mountain.

Even now, the boy was still bewildered, his hands empty and he didn't know what to do with them.

Less than two seconds later, Fang Lingshan appeared on the large arena set up by the Fenglei Sect. Seeing the dense crowd of spectators, he felt his blood rush to his head and almost had a heart attack.

"That's too insidious, Yunxi! You have no martial ethics!"

"..."

"..."

The audience, staring at him, were momentarily stunned and didn't react.

Until the sect leader of Wuji Sect sighed, "As expected of Cheng Jiangui's disciple, she is just as shameless as her master."

Cheng Jiangui's reputation was unfairly damaged despite his abilities: "???"

"I protest!" Shen Zhang was the first to stand up. It wasn't that he was particularly righteous or chivalrous in speaking out for the Qingyun Sect, but simply that he disliked the Lingxiao Sect and wanted to protest everything Yun hope did.

However, this time Shen Zhang spoke with reason and righteous indignation: "This little girl is too insidious. She's clearly not a good person. How could she use underhanded methods to win? I suggest she be disqualified from the competition!"

Shen Zhang's words sparked considerable discussion.

"What this girl did was indeed a bit strange..." a spectator whispered, "But it shouldn't be considered a violation, right? It was Fang Lingshan's own fault for not protecting the token properly."

"Exactly! Look at everyone else, they all wear their tokens neatly on their bodies. Why does he have to show them off like that?"

The speaker was a disciple of the Yao family, clearly siding with the Lingxiao Sect. Shen Zhang glared at him, annoyed.

The sect leader of the Wind and Thunder Sect said, "It's quite normal for tokens to be snatched during the competition. Yun hope did not violate any rules."

Shen Zhang wanted to say something more, but the Qingyun Sect Master also stood up and admitted, "It was indeed our disciple who failed to protect the token."

"?" Shen Zhang said, displeased, "Are you stupid? Can't you tell I'm speaking up for your sect?"

"Patriarch Shen, competitions are inherently cruel." The Qingyun Sect Master pondered for a moment before replying earnestly, "Today, Fang Lingshan was only facing Yun Xi. If he were to openly use his most precious possessions against other enemies on the battlefield in the future, he would likely lose not only the token but also his life."

In the eyes of the Qingyun Sect Master, the competition was meant to instill a greater sense of crisis in his disciples.

Having experienced this incident, Fang Lingshan, or any other member of the Qingyun Sect, will not be as careless when encountering enemies in the future.

This is a good lesson, and the Qingyun Sect Master is quite satisfied.

As for points, he didn't care much about them.

A loss is a loss, and a win is a win.

Cheng Jiangui cupped his face in his hands, his eyes sparkling with amazement: "Wow, you can talk like a human now."

"?"

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect gave him a disapproving look and sat down again.

The murmurs in the audience ceased abruptly after he spoke these words, clearly indicating that everyone agreed with the Qingyun Sect Master's statement.

Shen Zhang gritted his teeth and said with dissatisfaction, "It's only because my Qingqing is in that lousy sect that I wouldn't bother with you!"

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect did not reply.

Shen Tingsong, on the other hand, quietly raised his head from his book, glanced at him, and instantly his breath was tinged with bitterness.

Sure enough, in Shen Zhang's heart, there was only Shen Qingqing.

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect sensed something was wrong with his disciple, patted him cautiously, and said with a smile, "If you encounter such an enemy in the future..."

The sect leader of the Medicine King Sect said meaningfully, "Remember, always put yourself first."

He was momentarily confused, then realized that his master was changing the subject and also instructing him.

Shen Tingsong nodded: "This disciple understands."

Even now, Fang Lingshan was still somewhat bewildered, standing on the arena, turning around in a daze.

Although he's gone, he left something behind for the secret realm.

For example...

That points leaderboard.

Yunxi, now ranked first on the leaderboard, has gained nearly 6000 more points.

[Yunxi, 16200]
