In the blink of an eye, two months have passed and the competition that will decide the future of the novice disciples is finally here.
Said to be a competition, it’s better to call it a bloody elimination match. Mozong is not a place where Buddhist devotees stay, if you want to live here and see daylight, then you’re bound to stand on blood.
Therefore, there aren’t many congregations in Mozong. Compared to those tens of thousands hidden family clan members, the number of true disciples in Mozong is less than a thousand, excluding working servants.
But every single one of them are definitely the best of the best. Just randomly pick anyone out and they are the strongest of the continent’s major forces.
Of course, this is under the premise of not knowing that they are Mozong’s disciples, because the people of Mozong are all demons personifying pestilence, it’s easier to invite the devil in than to send it away.
Due to the large number of novice disciples in each training session, it’s very time consuming to select the excellent ones. As a result, the first round of competition is a chaotic journey of survival.
All the novice disciples will be sent to a valley with a limited time of 3 days. Out of more than a thousand disciples, only 100 disciples can come out of the valley in the end, the survival ratio of 10 to 1 makes the competition even more cruel and intense.
With the memory and skill of the original host, Gu Bai successfully survived in this bloody elimination round, and the next step is the arena competition.
Aside from Mozong’s sect leader Qin Shitian, there are also eight great elders and five hallmasters, each in charge of a part of Mozong’s matters.
For the occasion, the elders and the hallmasters of the sect, as well as the sect leader Qin Shitian, will arrive to the scene to observe, and then pick suitable disciples to serve under them.
In order to attract Qin Shitian’s attention, Gu Bai very shamelessly squeezed himself to the front of the procession and found a conspicuous place to stay.
A place like Mozong isn’t the so-called upright and prestigious family, you can’t be too honest as a person. Those who are honest are all dead and those who are living are all dishonest....
All the disciples stood on the wide training ground and waited for roughly an hour before the elders and hallmasters, along with sect leader Qin Shitian, arrived slowly.
A man of imposing stature supported by everyone was seen in the distance coming over unhurriedly. His face is tough and handsome, his eyes are incredibly sharp like a starved vulture, and he wore a black robe embroidered with dark red flames.
Along with the black mark between his eyebrows that’s formed by a unique cultivation practice, and a indistinct bloodthirsty aura, the whole person appears evil and frightening, not daring to face him, this is Mozong’s sect leader, Qin Shitian.
He’s currently accompanied by a juvenile at his side, the boy is about 16 or 17 years old, his appearance is very young, but exceedingly beautiful.
Handsome eyebrows, lucid and elegant eyes, lips that aren’t dyed with bright red, and pitch black hair that went straight to the hips and scattered on his tall body, it turned out to be a devilishly bewitching appearance.
This is absolutely a kind of beauty that will tempt you to sin.
Gu Bai quietly watched from the sidelines. He secretly thought in his heart, this Mo Haige grew up to be like this, no wonder someone bloodthirsty and ruthless like Qin Shitian would be tempted.
When Qin Shitian entered, the elders who preside over the competition and selection guided everyone to bow with their hands clasped and gave Qin Shitian a salute, "Paying respect to the sect leader."
"Get up."
Qin Shitian waved his hand and let everyone rise. The voice was deep and imposing, penetrating with great force.
"Thank the sect leader!"
The people got up and kept their heads low, not daring to look directly at the sect leader.
Qin Shitian has long been accustomed to the attitude and fear of his disciples and subordinates towards him. He glanced at the crowd coldly, then he retrieved his gaze to look at Mo Haige who’s by his side.
With a cold and ruthless attitude towards the disciples of the sect, there’s a little gentleness between the eyebrows when he pulled the other party and softly said,
"Mo Haige will sit together with benzun*....."
*similar to benwang, bengong, etc
If you see ‘ben’ + something, it basically means “I” or “me” in an arrogant way.
Mo Haige unexpectedly frowned and avoided his big hands, his eyes didn’t conceal his disgust towards Qin Shitian’s intimate behavior.
Qin Shitian’s breathing almost stopped for a moment. Although he’s cold-blooded and ruthless, violent and bloodthirsty, but he’s still a person with seven passions and six desires. The juvenile who he had raised and spoiled for more than ten years turned out to be repulsed and disgusted with him, how can his heart not feel bad?
But in the end, this is the person he place at the center of his heart. He’s reluctant to punish him and teach him a lesson, he can only vent his anger to other places.
His hand emitted spiritual energy that appeared like flames and directly hit the mountain wall in front of the training ground. It instantly blasted a huge pit and dusts fluttered in the air. He scared all the newbie disciples till their face paled before coldly announcing,
"Start the competition!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Bai tracelessly stared at Qin Shitian once again from head to toe.
In the plot, Ah Jiu silently bowed his head and didn’t dare to face Qin Shitian, so he never saw these small actions.
At this moment, it seems like Mo Haige’s indifference and alienation to Qin Shitian is simply called disgust.
Faced with such an attitude, according to Qin Shitian’s moody temperament, cruel and merciless character, for him to be able to endure this shows how much he loves Mo Haige, he simply likes him to the bones.
Like this, Ah Jiu’s task of wanting him to guard Qin Shitian might not be that easy to do. Qin Shitian likes Mo Haige so much, he might not willingly let go. Later on, he’s bound to self-destruct for his blue soulmate*.
*Close male friend/male confidant. A relationship that is more than a friend, but less than a lover.
Gu Bai felt anxious in his heart, he couldn’t help but took a look at Qin Shitian once again. He thought his staring was hidden, yet he forgot that this world is different from the modern one he was familiar with.
The five senses of a strong man whose every move and action can shake both heaven and earth are very keen, Qin Shitian discovered his line of sight almost in an instant.
Furthermore, among all the disciples who bowed their heads and didn’t dare to look directly at the honorable sect leader, he was the only one who raised his head slightly, as obvious as it can be.
So very soon, he heard a low and dignified voice that sounded by his ear.
"You, come over to benzun’s seat!"
