Chapter 5180: Rules of compet.i.tion

On the other hand, if one could not even win three rounds, then no matter how superior one’s spiritual root attribute was, it would be meaningless. Geniuses would indeed be buried sometimes, but if one could not even win three out of five rounds in a battle of the same level, then one would be an out-and-out piece of trash, and it would be meaningless to talk more.

After observing everyone’s reaction, Xin Yijie continued,””Of course, this rule only applies to most ordinary disciples. For those talented disciples with extraordinary strength, there’s another simpler option besides the best of five fights among the same level, and that’s to challenge those of a higher level.”

“Cross-level challenge?” Everyone was shocked. This was something unimaginable for ordinary disciples, but at the same time, it was also the label of a genius disciple. Those who could cross-realm challenge were not simple characters, so they were naturally regarded as genius disciples.

“That’s right. You can challenge any of the higher ranked groups. There’s no limit to the number of times you can challenge them, and the other party can’t reject you. As long as one of you can succeed once, then you won’t need to partic.i.p.ate in the regular compet.i.tion and will automatically obtain the right to partic.i.p.ate in the trial.” Xin Yijie nodded.

Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard this. There was a special rule in addition to the usual rules. This Trial Compet.i.tion was considered very thoughtful, which showed how much importance the higher-ups of the primordial Alliance placed on it. It was also because of this that they had to do their best to perform well. This was not only related to the current primordial trial, but also directly related to their future in the primordial Alliance.

“May I ask, martial uncle Xin, what happens if you can’t challenge those of a higher level, and you can’t win three out of five in the regular compet.i.tion?” Everyone couldn’t help but worry.

“That is, they do not have the right to partic.i.p.ate in the trial. After this experience in the secular world, they will be directly teleported back to the ancient martial world. Of course, even if the prospective disciples recruited by the various sects win three out of five matches, they must succeed in breaking through to the foundation establishment realm before the start of the ancient trial. Otherwise, they will be automatically removed from the list and will not be considered a member of the ancient Alliance. Naturally, they will not have the right to partic.i.p.ate in the ancient trial.” Xin Yijie explained.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. According to Xin Yijie’s words, more than half of the people would be eliminated!

In the past, although the archaic trials had a Trial Compet.i.tion, and every time some people would be eliminated, it was at most just a formality, eliminating some people who were at the bottom to make up the numbers. There had never been a precedent of eliminating half the people. After all, this Trial Compet.i.tion was only the prelude of the archaic trials, not the archaic grand compet.i.tion. How could it be so serious?

“Martial uncle Xin, this is the trial Compet.i.tion, not the archaic compet.i.tion. Is it really that bad?” Everyone asked eagerly.

“It’s not normal, but this trial is a once-in-a-thousand-years event. It’s far more dangerous than usual. It’s only right to set the trial Compet.i.tion a little stricter. This is a responsibility for your safety.” Xin Yijie said seriously.

“But if it’s really for safety reasons, it’s fine to let us stronger disciples go. There’s no need to make it so complicated, right?” The person who spoke was a late-stage Foundation establishment disciple. The other disciples of the archaic Alliance, who were more powerful, echoed him one after another. All of them were filled with righteous indignation.

With the current rule of three wins out of five matches against those of the same level, the biggest victims would be none other than them.

Disciples of late-stage Foundation establishment or even higher should have the right to partic.i.p.ate in the primordial trial. However, once this rule came out, even a group of them would be eliminated. Think about it, if even a Grand full foundation establishment disciple did not have the chance to partic.i.p.ate in the primordial trial, wouldn’t they become a laughing stock?

“Hehe, this is a unanimous decision by the upper echelons of the ancient Alliance. Do you have any objections?” Xin Yijie’s words stunned everyone. No matter how unhappy they were, they didn’t dare to oppose the upper echelons of the ancient Alliance. Otherwise, not only would their future be bleak, but they might even lose their lives.

Moreover, although their strength was not bad, the ones who were really dissatisfied with this rule were only the disciples at the bottom of the same level. The truly outstanding core disciples of the various sects would not care about this difficulty. To put it bluntly, only the weak would complain about this. Since they were weak, how could they have the confidence to defy the decision of the higher-ups of the primordial Alliance?

If it had been Bing Wuqing, she would have at most snorted coldly in the face of these people’s complaints and wouldn’t have bothered to explain at all. However, Xin Yijie was much more loyal and honest. Seeing that the crowd was still dissatisfied, he thought about it and decided to explain a little.

“I’ve already said that the purpose of this Trial Compet.i.tion is to select disciples with both strength and potential. The rules of the compet.i.tion are not too strict. If you really meet the conditions, it will not be difficult for you to obtain the qualifications for the trial. However, if you only have the level but no potential, then there is nothing much to say. Instead of going to the ancient trials to hinder other disciples with more potential, it is better to return to the ancient martial world early. ” Xin Yijie said.

These words weren’t very pleasant to hear, but they made sense. From the perspective of the various ancient sects, the value of a disciple at the bottom of the great circle of Foundation establishment couldn’t compare to an early Foundation establishment disciple with outstanding apt.i.tude, but if these two were to be sent to the ancient trials at the same time, then the disciple at the great circle of Foundation establishment would definitely have the advantage.

After all, under normal circ.u.mstances, an early Foundation Stage disciple would never be a match for a peak Foundation Stage disciple, so it was very easy for all the higher-ups of ancient sects to be in a situation where they were extremely frustrated. They were also partic.i.p.ating in the ancient trials, but those talented disciples with outstanding apt.i.tudes and worthy of being vigorously cultivated had a difficult time, and their opportunities were instead s.n.a.t.c.hed by the lower-ranked disciples with no potential. In the end, they were in the latrine pit but couldn’t s.h.i.+t.

However, even the higher-ups of the immemorial Alliance could not forcefully say that only the genius disciples could obtain the opportunity. Even if the other disciples were of a higher level and stronger strength, they had to stand aside. If such an inhumane rule were to be announced, the many ordinary disciples would probably have rebelled long ago.

That was why there were such unprecedented rules. Not only could they use this to select the disciples with outstanding strength in each level, but they could also take the opportunity to get rid of those mediocre disciples who were at the bottom of the list and remove the obstacles for the talented disciples who were really worthy of cultivation. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

At this point, even if everyone was unwilling, they didn’t dare to talk more nonsense. After all, it was already a foregone conclusion. No matter how much they complained, it would be useless. On the contrary, it would only cause trouble for themselves. It was better to take advantage of this time to plan for the next Trial Compet.i.tion.

“Alright, the rules have been announced. Since no one has any other questions, we will begin the first round of the compet.i.tion by drawing lots after a short rest. Of course, if any disciple wishes to skip a level and challenge someone, please raise your request before drawing lots. Otherwise, once the drawing lots takes effect, you can’t give up halfway. You can’t even refuse to fight.” Xin Yijie announced. (To be continued.) ”
