You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

The next day, Qin Ran got up and prepared to go outside for some fresh air.

After a night of practice, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

At the same time, Zhao Qingxu also sent someone to inform everyone to gather in the hall.

Qin Ran, along with Fu Xueru and Tang Da, went to the hall.

When they arrived, the others had not yet arrived.

After taking their seats, the three of them began to chat.

"Boss, have you thought of a solution?" Tang Da asked Qin Ran.

"You mean you obtained the secret manual for the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm technique?"

"yes."

Qin Ran sighed, "We still have no clue."

"So what do you plan to do?"

"have no idea."

Tang Da didn't ask anything more.

This is indeed a very tricky matter.

No one could come up with a good solution.

Can only be left to fate.

At this moment, Abbess Yunmiao arrived with Wen Zhiyu and Jiang Meina.

The three of them, master and disciples, all looked very grim.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Master Yunmiao, you look quite well today."

"I advise you not to be too smug. I did lose to you last night, but that was only temporary. Next time we make a move, I might not lose to you again." Yun Miao still looked unconvinced.

Qin Ran knew that the old nun was being stubborn.

Last night's match already proved the point.

She was no match for him at all.

With her cultivation level, even in ten years, she would still be no match for him.

"If you're not satisfied, let's have another match while we still have time. I'll let you have a one-handed win, what do you think?" Qin Ran asked provocatively.

Yun Miao was instantly enraged.

He sparred with her using only one hand.

Qin Ran wasn't letting her win; he was humiliating her.

This is blatant humiliation.

Wen Zhiyu said irritably, "Qin Ran, what exactly are you up to? You know perfectly well that my master is about to compete with several other sect leaders for the position of Chief Elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion, yet you still want to fight my master. Do you think that's appropriate?"

"I didn't force her. I was just saying it casually. Whether she agrees or not is her business." Qin Ran glanced at Wen Zhiyu.

Wen Zhiyu was about to retort when Yun Miao stopped her: "Alright, don't bother with him. There's no need to waste your breath on someone like him."

Wen Zhiyu didn't say anything more after hearing that.

Subsequently, the leaders of other major sects arrived one after another.

Representatives from martial arts associations in various regions also came.

The hall was packed.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the next round of the competition.

Jingzong looked at Qin Ran: "Benefactor Qin, why are you still here?"

Why can't I be here?

"I clearly refused you yesterday and will never lend you the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm Manual. What's the point of you being here?" Jingzong spoke with an imposing presence, giving off an invisible sense of pressure.

He seemed to be telling Qin Ran that staying here would be pointless.

He will not hand over the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual.

Rather than getting in the way of other people, it's better to be sensible and leave.

Qin Ran knew in his heart that the old monk wanted to give him a hard time.

But he didn't care at all.

"Even if you're unwilling to give me the manual, I won't leave. I'll stay and act as the referee to see who among you will actually become the chief elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion," Qin Ran said deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingzong's expression immediately changed.

What right does Qin Ran have to act as a referee?

Is he trying to make things difficult for me?

Yun Miao's expression was also very unpleasant.

If she had known Qin Ran was the referee, she wouldn't have offended him.

The other sect leaders also had their own agendas.

A short while later, Zhao Qingxu arrived.

After Zhou Zhenshan's death, he became the temporary representative of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

He was in full charge of this election.

"Esteemed sect leaders, you are all present. Next, we will compete for the position of Chief Elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion!"

"The competition is divided into two rounds. The first round is a contest of strength, and the second round is a contest of martial arts planning, including martial arts concepts, governance strategies for martial arts associations in various regions, overall planning for martial arts, governance plans for underground martial arts, and so on."

"You will need to give an oral presentation, and then the heads of our various regional martial arts associations will score it."

"As you all know, before Zhou Zhenshan died, the martial arts world was in complete chaos under his rule. Now that he's dead, as the new Chief Elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion, I must come up with the most brilliant plan to govern the current martial arts world. You should all understand what I'm saying."

Jingzong and the others nodded in agreement.

It seems they want a manager who is both literate and capable.

This is still difficult for them.

It is very challenging.

Mo Yixi looked at Zhao Qingxu: "Elder Zhao, you just said that our first round is a contest of strength. How exactly will it be conducted?"

"This time, the leaders of Shaolin Temple, Emei Sect, Kunlun Sect, Maoshan Sect, Longhu Mountain Sect, and Quanzhen Sect have all come. You will compete by drawing lots, with each pair fighting against the other. In the end, three winners will be determined, and these three winners will continue to compete in the afternoon."

"How can three people compete?" Mo Yixi asked, frowning.

"It's a three-way battle, all fighting for themselves," Zhao Qingxu said.

Mo Yixi's face darkened and she looked displeased after hearing this.

A three-way brawl?

Who came up with this terrible idea?

If it weren't for the greater good, he wouldn't have stayed here to suffer this humiliation.

Then, the lottery process began.

Yunmiao, the leader of the Maoshan Sect, and the leader of the Quanzhen Sect drew lots.

Yunmiao drew Mo Yixi as her assigned person.

Mo Yixi was overjoyed in an instant.

Yun Miao and Qin Ran had a fierce battle last night.

And he was also injured.

Now that I'm fighting her, it's like I'm getting a free win.

The leader of the Maoshan Sect drew the Jingzong Sect.

The leader of the Quanzhen Sect drew the title of leader of Longhu Mountain.

They were divided into three groups of two.

Qin Ran sat in the chair with his legs crossed, looking like he was watching a good show.

He absolutely cannot miss this good show.

He was also eager to know who would win this round of armed confrontation.

After the lottery, everyone arrived at the arena.

First up were Mo Yixi and Abbess Yunmiao.

Mo Yixi clasped her hands and said, "Master Yunmiao, please forgive me."

"Master Mo, please forgive me." Abbess Yunmiao also clasped her hands in greeting.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two began their formal competition.

Qin Ran stared intently at them.

Mo Yixi can be said to have gotten a great deal in this contest.

Master Yunmiao fought him last night, and he lost and was even injured by her.

If she were to compete against Mo Yixi now, she would most likely lose.

The Kunlun School has many techniques.

It includes Cloud Dragon Palm, Star Pointing Finger, Cloud Piercing Step, Qiankun Internal Skill, and Cold Plum Sword Formation.

The Emei School also has many techniques.

Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, Emei Dagger, Heart-Cleansing Palm, Dust-Sweeping Buddha Hand, Cloud-Stepping Step, Prajna Internal Energy.

The two sect leaders could be said to have used every trick in the book.

Qin Ran kept a close eye on the changes in their moves.

Compared to last night, Abbess Yunmiao's moves are now incredibly varied.

However, the moves she used were not very lethal.

They didn't perform at their best.

Ultimately, it's because she suffered internal injuries last night.

Once a martial artist suffers an internal injury, they will find it difficult to perform their moves.

Because all techniques are driven by internal energy.

Wen Zhiyu and Jiang Meina, who were standing nearby, saw this and were very anxious.

They regretted it at that moment.

They shouldn't have dragged their master to seek revenge on Qin Ran last night.

We should go find Qin Ran later.

Master was injured by Qin Ran last night, so he definitely won't win today.

The fierce battle intensified into daylight.

Master Yunmiao was clearly at a disadvantage.

Tang Da leaned close to Qin Ran's ear and said, "Boss, in my opinion, Abbess Yunmiao can't win."

"I think so too. She suffered internal injuries last night, which weakened the power of her moves. She definitely can't win against Mo Yixi," Qin Ran said.

"If she loses, she won't blame you, will she?"

"Tch! I won't pay any attention to her. She started it last night, so she deserved to be injured. She can only blame herself for being brainless."

As expected, after several dozen rounds, Yun Miao lost to Mo Yixi.

This competition was to stop short of a full-blown contest.

Therefore, Yunmiao's defeat wasn't too bad.

Mo Yixi clasped her hands and said, "Master Yunmiao, you flatter me."

Yun Miao didn't say much; she turned and walked towards her two disciples.

Wen Zhiyu looked guilty: "Master, I'm sorry, it's my fault for dragging you into this. If I hadn't asked you to settle scores with Qin Ran last night and you hadn't been injured by him, you wouldn't have lost to Master Mo today."

"Stop talking nonsense, a loss is a loss, I accept it." Yun Miao said and turned to sit down.

That's what they say.

She was seething with anger inside.

Her loss represents not only herself, but also the Emei Sect.

Then, the second round of competition began.

The battle is between Jingzong and Shi Renjie, the leader of the Maoshan Sect.

Qin Ran continued to observe.

The Maoshan School's techniques generally include Thunder Heart Palm, Five Thunder Palm, Heavenly Gang Sword Technique, Demon Suppressing Seal, Seven Star Gang Step, Pure Yang Body Protection, etc.

Jingzong used the Dragon Claw Hand, Prajna Palm, and Vajra Palm.

His palm technique is very powerful.

This also shows that he has profound internal strength.

In response to Jingzong's attack, Shi Renjie used the Pure Yang Body Protection technique.

But this was no challenge for Jingzong at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can finally unleash the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm technique.

Jingzong shouted, "The second level of the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm - Arhat Subduing Demons!"

The curtain fell with that sound.

Jingzong suddenly unleashed a palm strike.

A huge handprint appeared in front of him.

This move contains immense power.

The handprints crashed towards the other side like a tidal wave.

Shi Renjie's Pure Yang Body Protection was instantly destroyed.

He was blasted away by the powerful internal force and crashed heavily to the ground.

Jingzong withdrew his palm and said, "Amitabha, Sect Leader Shi, this old monk has been rude."

Shi Renjie lay on the ground, looking at Jingzong with a mournful gaze.

No wonder he is the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

That's really impressive.

He also experienced the power of the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm.

Qin Ran was also shocked by Jing Zong's move just now.

He just used the second level of the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm.

The second layer alone is so powerful.

If one were to cultivate to the ninth level, "Return of Ten Thousand Buddhas to the Source"...

As Qin Ran meditated, his heart grew increasingly restless.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Palm cultivates pure Yang energy.

It would be perfect for him to cultivate here.

In his view, the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm was prepared for him.

This won't do; we must find a way to obtain the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual...
