Chapter 39: Wake up, wake up
The competition goes very quickly, and the round can be ended in basically a quarter of an hour.
In the first six rounds of competition, there was basically a huge disparity in strength.
Su Chen looked at the six disciples beside him.
Although I keep admitting defeat and being eliminated in every round, I can't stand the crowd.
Starting from the seventh round, except for the disciples under Ji Sheng, their strength no longer seemed to be ordinary.
At this time, Su Chen was standing next to Ji Sheng.
He also waved his hand, beckoning Su Chen to come forward, just like before.
"Mr. Ji, I don't want to admit defeat in this competition."
Hearing Su Chen's words, a light smile appeared on Ji Sheng's face.
"If you don't want to admit defeat, just wait. Wait for other disciples who are willing to admit defeat to come first."
After that, he arranged for others to come forward.
In this seventh round of competition, there was finally some strong competition.
A few years ago, these young disciples were almost all in the middle realm of eighth-grade refining.
But their body speed and the power of their moves are many close to those of the seventh grade.
The eyes of the people watching the competition were also more serious.
It has been said before that the disciples of this generation are stronger than those of previous years, but many people are still unwilling to admit it.
But seeing these young disciples taking action in front of them, everyone believed it.
In the center of the stands, all the elders also had smiles on their faces.
These outstanding young disciples will be the mainstay of Tiangang City in the future and the cornerstone of Tiangang City's growth.
Su Chen also looked at these disciples and saw that their strength was indeed impressive.
In fact, it is already a bit better than the others in Senior Brother Wu Yi's team.
As for Ji Sheng's disciples, they still chose to admit defeat.
If it were the previous rounds, he would still have some confidence.
But now, he knew that he had no chance of winning.
At the end of the seventh round, Ji Sheng looked back at Su Chen.
"Do you still want to give it a try?"
Su Chen nodded without hesitation.
"Then just wait until everyone else has finished losing before you join."
Ji Sheng hoped that all his disciples would admit defeat to save him from trouble.
Looking at the other coaches, you have to keep a close eye on them and spend more energy.
Not far away, Ouyang Chuan saw that Su Chen hadn't come on stage yet and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Why doesn't this disciple Su Chen show up yet? Is Mr. Ji planning to let him be the finale?"
There was a bit of ridicule in the words, and the voice was not quiet, so everyone could hear it.
Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu, who were watching the competition, also showed a bit of worry.
Hearing this, Ji Sheng also smiled.
"After all, he is the disciple who defeated Liu Xingwan. Isn't it normal for him to be given the final spot?"
Ji Sheng did not help his disciples to speak. During his words, he and Ouyang Chuan teased Su Chen.
"That's right, such a good player really deserves to be the finale.
However, I am really looking forward to it, I want to see how powerful a disciple of this strength is.
I hope that when the time comes, I won’t admit defeat after entering the venue. "
Ouyang Chuan said some joking words and returned to his seat.
It was already late afternoon, and the competition had reached the tenth round.
The subsequent competition will not be as fast as the first one. In a close competition, the winner is no longer determined by one or two moves.
There were ten disciples under Ji Sheng's command, but all of them chose to admit defeat.
Basically, whoever matches up will get a bye.
After the tenth round, Elder Shangxuan looked at Ji Sheng with a hint of disappointment and helplessness on his face.
Ji Sheng looked at Su Chen again.
"Do you still want to go out and compete?"
Su Chen did not hesitate and still nodded.
"Okay, if you're not afraid, just go up.
I've told you good and bad things, but your talent and potential are far different, and you're not a warrior at the same level as them.
For some things, just lie to others, don't lie to yourself. Do you really think you can do it later than Liu Xing?
Anyway, I have said everything that needs to be said. If you don’t have a long memory, then go and suffer some losses and suffer some punishment.
Only then will you know that what we coaches said is absolutely right. "
Ji Sheng said something as if he was advising Su Chen to do it for Su Chen's own good.
But in fact, I still hope that Su Chen will choose to admit defeat and not bother him.
In the competition venue, various coaches also sent disciples.
But under the guidance of the teacher, all the disciples have been eliminated.
Including Su Chen, there were only five people in the audience.
Several coaches walked aside to discuss the order.
In the competition venue, the eyes of the other four people fell on Su Chen.
"Senior Sister Jin Yue, I heard that Mr. Ouyang hates him?"
Someone next to me asked.
Hearing this, Jin Yue nodded.
"Cultivation of virtue must be done before practice. Mr. Ouyang had previously arranged for him to start with the practice of virtue.
Let him dare to act bravely and learn the words of the saints.
It's just that he didn't agree with Mr. Ouyang's arrangement and said that Mr. Ouyang delayed him.
And even now he still doesn’t admit that he is greedy for credit.
He even felt that there was nothing wrong with his contribution exceeding Liu Xingwan. "
"Delay him? Why should he be delayed?" The disciple next to him answered and glanced at Su Chen.
While speaking, Jin Yue thought for a while and then approached Su Chen.
"Su Chen, originally we were peers, so it's not my place to say some reminders.
But during this period, the reputation of our Tiangang City has been somewhat affected by you.
Tiangang City has treated you well enough by accepting you into its sect.
I hope you will think about the sect and stop messing around. "
Looking at Jin Yue in front of him, Su Chen frowned slightly.
"I don't know what my fellow disciple meant by this. When did I do anything detrimental to Tiangang City?
When did I act nonsense again?"
"Don't you even realize when you're acting up?"
Jin Yue shook her head.
"During the initiation ceremony that day, you had an argument with Hall Master Xia Kun of the Yunyang Sect. Wasn't it nonsense?
Wasn't the previous dispute between you and Mr. Ouyang just a joke?
Personal reputation is very important, but if you don’t admit it, people won’t know that you have committed acts of greed for credit?
Is it possible that your demon-slaying ability can really surpass Liu Xingwan? "
After hearing these words, Su Chen no longer wanted to talk to her.
It seems that what she believes is the truth and cannot be wrong.
I tried to wipe the stain off my body, but now I said I was just messing around.
"Su Chen, you can't even compare to us, how can you possibly compare to Liu Xingwan?"
Jin Yue seemed to want to say something else, but Su Chen replied directly.
"The competition hasn't even started yet, how do you know I can't beat you?"
Hearing this, the four people next to him were stunned for a moment.
The next moment, a helpless expression appeared on Jin Yue's face.
It seems that I have encountered a rogue, and I can't explain why.
"Okay, since you said so, let's wait until the competition is over."
When turning around, Jin Yue seemed to think of something and turned back.
"I always thought you were making excuses because you just didn't want to admit that you were greedy for credit.
But now, I feel that you are slightly hysterical.
You often have fantasies that make you think that you have great abilities.
He can even surpass Liu Xingwan.
But everyone knows that these are all conjectures.
I hope this competition can wake you up and make you sober. "
