As soon as Sun Zhe's words fell, all eyes were immediately focused on him. At that moment, all the Outer Sect Disciples let out a sigh of relief; Sun Zhe's appearance undoubtedly gave them a sense of reassurance. Neither Zhao Ang nor Shen Yan possessed such prestige; only Sun Zhe could command that respect within the Outer Sect.
The Inner Sect Disciples, upon seeing Sun Zhe appear, couldn't help but slightly stiffen. A hint of seriousness flashed across the faces of most disciples.
Coldly glancing at Sun Zhe, the indifferent man maintained his expression and said lightly, "You are not my opponent!"
His disdainful tone suggested that Sun Zhe was simply unworthy to be considered his rival.
"Haha..." Sun Zhe threw his head back and laughed heartily, but his eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit. Since becoming a Thunder User, no one had ever looked down on him like this. Having just reached four stars, he dared to challenge Zhou Yuanxin, who was already a Six-Star Thunder User. Now, how could he fear this Inner Sect opponent?
"Are you willing to fight?"
With those words, everyone was taken aback. They did not expect Sun Zhe to take the initiative to provoke a battle, and his tone was so arrogant.
"Haha... that's good... Sun Zhe, with just this one sentence, I will never look down on you again... Zhou Hanbin, are you willing to fight me..." Excitement flashed in Zhao Ang's eyes as he stepped forward without hesitation alongside Sun Zhe, staring at Zhou Hanbin and boasting. Both were young talents from Beifeng City and had their share of conflicts.
"This senior sister, Shen Yan is not talented; please teach me a few moves..." Shen Yan was quick to respond. As soon as Zhao Ang finished speaking, she stood in front of the masked White-Clad Woman.
However, it wasn't just Sun Zhe who challenged; many disciples from the Outer Sect were inspired by the three of them and suddenly found their courage. The sounds of challenges erupted one after another, and in an instant, over twenty Inner Sect members were enveloped by a tide of challenges. The situation had turned dramatically.
The originally arrogant Inner Sect Disciples felt a chill run through them at this scene. With so many Outer Sect Disciples joining forces, their outcome was clear; they had not yet reached the level where they could face thousands alone.
"Silence!"
A clear voice suddenly rang out across the Training Ground. Upon hearing this voice, everyone instinctively stopped shouting, their eyes revealing a sense of reverence.
At some point, five figures had appeared at the edge of the Training Ground. Leading them was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple brocade robe. His long black hair was held up by a jade hairpin, and with his hands clasped behind him, his square face exuded an imposing presence without anger. He walked leisurely towards them; he was Fang Yuan, the current sect master of Xuan Lei Sect.
Behind Fang Yuan were four others: three men and one woman, all Elders of Lei. Among them were Elder Li, Sun Zhe's master, and Elder Han, who had previously appeared in the library. The other two were from the Inner Sect as well; all four possessed formidable cultivation levels and had undoubtedly reached the Realm of Thunder Sovereign.
In Xuan Yuan County, being a Thunder Sovereign already marked one as a powerful figure. The appearance of five individuals above this level within Xuan Lei Sect spoke volumes about its strength; even the other two major powers in Beifeng City—Aohumen and Crimson Thunder Hall—were slightly inferior in comparison.
When Fang Yuan and the others arrived, the disciples from both the inner and outer gates had already stopped fighting. However, the two sides stood distinctly apart on either side of the Training Ground, their gazes toward each other filled with hostility.
Fang Yuan observed all of this but said nothing. As he approached, he casually glanced at Sun Zhe and the others, his eyes containing a hint of something different.
"This year's grand competition may be somewhat different from previous years..."
Although the Four Great Elders did not speak, they simultaneously shared this thought. The two elders from the Outer Sect, Han and Li, exchanged glances and saw mutual satisfaction in each other's eyes. The Outer Sect disciples had achieved good rankings in the competition, which brought them pride as Outer Sect Elders.
Perhaps due to this special occasion, Fang Yuan did not wear his usual Blue Robe but instead donned a purple brocade robe. Although it lacked some of the ethereal quality of his usual attire, this outfit exuded a sense of grandeur that was hard to ignore, showcasing his commanding presence.
"Hehe... I didn't expect everyone to have arrived already; it seems I am the one who is late..."
Fang Yuan said with a smile as he stepped onto the central platform. Following him, the Four Great Elders ascended one by one.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone bowed to him in unison. Having served as the Sect Master of Xuan Lei Sect for several decades, Fang Yuan's prestige far surpassed that of anyone else. Coupled with his unparalleled cultivation level within Xuan Lei Sect, nearly all disciples regarded him as their revered idol.
"Hehe, there is no need for such formalities," Fang Yuan chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.
"Our Xuan Lei Sect has been established for nearly a thousand years. Our achievements today are inseparable from the support of our elders within the sect, but they are also the result of generations of disciples who have persevered. Today marks a significant day for our Xuan Lei Sect; it is the day when our new disciples will compete in the grand competition. As you all know, the Inner Sect Competition has always been our method of selecting outstanding disciples. Today, we have set up four Arenas in this Training Ground. I am giving everyone an opportunity; as long as you have strength and confidence in yourself, you can earn the best rewards and become one of the core disciples of our Sect."
Fang Yuan's words were highly motivating. As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples below became excited. Those who were already eager were now even more fervent, itching to jump into the competition immediately.
Observing the enthusiastic response from below, Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction. After taking a breath, he continued,
"Now I will announce the rewards for this grand competition: First place will receive a Low-Rank Earth-Level Martial Technique, one Soul Fusion Pill, and one thousand taels of silver."
As soon as Fang Yuan finished speaking about the first prize, before he could even announce the rewards for second place, there was an uproar among the crowd below because the first prize was simply astonishing.
What is a Soul Fusion Pill? Every Cultivator knows about it, especially low-level Cultivators; it is a treasure they dream of obtaining. Not every Thunderer can successfully advance to Thunder Master after reaching Seven Stars; there is a certain probability involved. However, a Soul Fusion Pill can significantly increase that probability and essentially guarantees success in advancement; its effects are remarkable.
The Low-Rank Earth-Level Martial Technique is also an extremely precious item. Generally, low-level Cultivators mostly practice Human-Level Martial Arts, and only sects like Xuan Lei Sect possess Human-Grade Martial Techniques. However, these are only granted after significant achievements, and even core disciples of the Inner Sect do not receive them casually. Yet today, a valuable Human-Grade Martial Technique has been included as a reward for the competition.
As for the one thousand taels of silver, enough to support a family of three for decades, it has become a trivial reward.
Next, Fang Yuan summarized the rewards for the top contestants and the rules of the Competition. Although the rewards for the lower ranks are not as good as those for the first place, they are still far superior to previous offerings. The rewards have made many disciples envious, especially those who believe they have no chance of securing first place; they have set their sights on these rewards instead.
In an instant, even those disciples who had prepared themselves were breathing heavily.
Fang Yuan surveyed the reactions of the many disciples below and a faint smile appeared on his lips. This year's disciples are significantly stronger in both strength and Qualification than in previous years. It is precisely for this reason that he pushed against opposition to increase the rewards for this competition.
What does a Sect rely on for its legacy? It relies on generations of elite disciples!
Only when elite disciples develop can they wholeheartedly contribute to the Sect. Only then can the Sect flourish and allow Xuan Lei Sect to advance toward higher goals. As the leader of this sect, Fang Yuan understands this very clearly.
Stepping forward with his right foot and waving his right hand, he declared loudly,
"I announce that the Xuan Lei Sect Inner Sect Competition begins!"
