Chapter 127 - Water Dragon Sect Cultivator—Ji Yuan!

However, in this way, to join the Water Dragon Sect, one must wait for another three years.After a while, Sang Zhongyuan finally relied on his Flying Sword Technique to successfully slay the Demon Wolf, and took the token of the Water Dragon Sect from Yun Shangping.

But compared to Ji Yuan, he was far inferior.

Not to mention being covered in dust, even his breath was extremely disordered.

Relying solely on magical artifacts and techniques to kill demons is no easy task.

As the battle of Group A ended, Yun Shangping’s voice soon came again from afar, "Group B, continue."

Du Kang hurriedly called out his flying boat and descended.

Ji Yuan watched the six people who entered the field again, and with a thought, he took off the bronze armor he was wearing, wiped off the inscription on it, and handed it to Du Wanyi.

Earlier, Ji Yuan found it easy to handle, as the Demon Beast hadn’t even touched his body.

Let alone touching this Protective Armor.

"Hmm?"

Du Wanyi did not expect Ji Yuan to have means to protect her.

"Wear it, better to be safe than sorry."

Seeing her hesitation, Ji Yuan added, "It’s on loan to you, and if it’s damaged, you’ll have to compensate for it."

Only then did Du Wanyi take it with confidence, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."

They were already at the back of the crowd, and everyone else’s attention was drawn to the beast fight down the mountain, so no one else noticed.

In mid-air.

Yun Shangping and another Foundation Establishment cultivator, Gu Liben, were also exchanging messages.

"Brother Gu, did you see anyone suitable in the first batch?"

Gu Liben glanced back and immediately said, "What else do we need to look at, just take the first one, with that kind of strength, he could even be a squad leader on the front lines."

"Indeed."

Yun Shangping nodded slightly.

"For the ones behind, it might be too much to expect another of that caliber, if nothing unexpected happens, let’s settle on him."

"There might still be a chance to see more, who knows if there are more experts out there?"

Gu Liben chuckled: "Brother Yun truly believes there are too many experts in the world; they’re only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, still Pseudo Spirit Roots, at this age... nothing more to say."

The Qi Cultivation Stage, not worth much.

Only by becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator can one claim freedom in this world.

Ji Yuan meditated and absorbed six Spirit Stones, fully restoring his depleted Spiritual Qi.

He got up and came to Du Wanyi’s side, once again looking down the mountain.

In just this moment, Du Kang was already in a precarious situation... as the Demon Wolf attacked fiercely, he could only defend with his Protective Magical Artifact, unable to find an opening to counterattack.

It was apparent that this time, the rule change had disrupted his rhythm.

If it weren’t for that, with his strength, even if he couldn’t truly kill the Demon Wolf, he wouldn’t be so passively beaten.

Thus, fighting and retreating, he barely held on for the time of half an incense stick before finally admitting defeat.

Yun Shangping casually used a sword to resolve the Demon Wolf for him, and after admitting defeat, he did not ascend to the mountaintop again but directly piloted his flying boat away from the place.

He didn’t come up to bid farewell to Ji Yuan either, mostly feeling ashamed or upset.

In the B Group, two advanced, one at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation Stage, and another at the eighth level, though joining, looked as if they were half-dead.

Then the C Group continued.

After this group finished fighting, two died, three admitted defeat, and finally, only Chu Jingtong from Black Water Square successfully joined the Water Dragon Sect.

Having fought, he looked about the same as Sang Zhongyuan.

Both were unharmed but not without difficulty.

Finally, there was only the D Group where Du Wanyi was, this group wasn’t even full, with only four people.

"Second Sister, be careful, remember to prioritize saving your life."

"Hmm, I will."

Du Wanyi took a deep breath and flew her flying boat down the mountain.

With the previous three bouts of killing, the mountain clearing was now covered in bloodstains, both human and Demon Beast blood mingling, emitting a strong smell of blood.

Fortunately, Du Wanyi was an old hand, accustomed to life and death situations.

As soon as the Demon Beast came out, she immediately stabilized her posture.

Furthermore, with the bronze armor from Ji Yuan as a last line of defense, she fought more freely, but ultimately, her technique was lacking, so she sustained some injuries before finally taking down the Demon Wolf.

Even so, in their D Group, she was the first to pass.

Another female cultivator also passed, but her injuries were more severe than Du Wanyi’s.

Returning with the token to Ji Yuan, Du Wanyi could hardly contain her joy.

"First, take a Healing Elixir for those wounds, they can’t be delayed."

Ji Yuan smiled and reminded her.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Du Wanyi immediately swallowed a Qi Blood Pill and returned the bronze armor to Ji Yuan.

"Fourth Brother, we finally made it!"

The smile on Du Wanyi’s face couldn’t be suppressed; she had been struggling in the Cloud Rain Marsh for decades, all for this moment.

"Hmm."

It’s certainly not true to say there was no joy, so Ji Yuan smiled as well, observing the remaining cultivators present... oh no, after today, everyone would be fellow disciples of the Water Dragon Sect.

The ones joining the Water Dragon Sect from Group A were himself and Sang Zhongyuan.

The two joining from Group B, the one at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation Stage was named Fang Jie, and the one almost half-dead at the eighth level was named Huang Mingkai, who looked quite aged, joining the Water Dragon Sect probably just for retirement.

Joining from Group C was Chu Jingtong.

Joining from Group D were Du Wanyi and a middle-aged female cultivator named Yan Qiuxia.

This year, only 7 post-Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators passed the selection to join the Water Dragon Sect.

"Alright, first let me congratulate you all on becoming disciples of the Water Dragon Sect."
