C186 Match Start

A relatively simple and honest man also patted Li Jie, wanting to get close to him.

"Big Brother Dazhi, you're like this. If dad finds out about this, he'll definitely scold you."

Tian Ling'er frowned. This Song Dazhen was too rude. After all, Li Jie could be considered Senior Xiao's benefactor.

"Huh?"

Li Jie was stunned by the question. How many years had he cultivated for?

Could it be that his cultivation hasn't even reached a month?

This way, wouldn't it just infuriate him to death?

"You might be embarrassed asking the age of others directly, but I'm already 70 or 80 years old, it's just that I look a bit younger. Of course, I wouldn't go so far as to directly ask for a few hundred years. |

Li Jie didn't think too much about it and didn't notice that his words were a bit inappropriate.

"What?" "Impossible!"

Li Jie's words caused the disciples of the Great Bamboo Peak to be stunned. They looked at each other and thought they had heard wrongly.

"You must be joking with me again."

"Is there a problem?" Don't tell me that I don't want to be a cultivator that is seventy or eighty years old? Or think I'm older. "

Li Jie thought he was talking about some sort of loophole.

"Little Brother, this isn't right, how did you know about Xiao Qi?" Song Dazhen patted Li Jie again. This time, he appeared to be more at ease. He continued, "Did you know that the Seven Meridians Martial Meeting is held only once in a sixty-year cycle? This is my second time participating."

Song Dazhen's words were definitely not because of his seniority, but what Li Jie said was too surprising. He had cultivated for a hundred years, yet his skill was still so impressive. How could Li Jie be so successful if he was a few decades old? This was simply too excessive. The word 'genius' was not enough to describe such a person.

He had forgotten about the matter of cultivators prolonging their lifespan. However, in order to achieve longevity, one needed to touch upon the dao of immortality, which was extremely difficult. Perhaps, even the Sect Leader of Qing Yun was still far from being able to achieve that.

He himself wanted others to know that he was a very young cultivator. He reckoned that Song Dazhen and the others were all over a hundred years old, so it was not surprising that he said that he was only seventy or eighty years old.

"I'm not joking around. I'm really just that old."

Li Jie said with a serious expression.

"Hiss!"

Song Dazhen sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt that Li Jie was a monster. He was so young and had such a high cultivation level, it was hard for him to accept that. It seemed like he needed to train harder.

After the Sect Leader explained the rules of the competition, they began the drawing of lots. This was a relatively fair method to determine who their opponents were, and if they were lucky and drew the weaker opponents, they would be able to hold on for a few rounds and make a rank without a problem. But if their luck was bad and they drew the top disciples of the Seven Meridians Martial Meeting, then they would only have the fate of being eliminated early.

At this time, Li Jie had also noticed that all the heads of the main peaks were already in position. They were waiting on the high platform for the competition to begin.

Tian Buyi looked at his disciples at the side of the stage. In this competition, only his disciples had participated. The other top disciples only had one or two disciples. On his side, there was not a single top disciple.

He also noticed Li Jie, who was below the arena. He suddenly frowned as he recalled what happened yesterday and was still a bit preoccupied with it.

"Just how many years of cultivation does he have to be so powerful? And that strange cultivation method of his, have you ever seen it before?"

Uncle Ceng often turned to ask Tian Buyi, who was beside him. They had originally wanted to probe Li Jie, but Li Jie was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom of it.

It seemed that there was always someone stronger than him. There were always mountains outside the mountains, and if it was always limited to the Clear Sky Peak, then there was always a drawback.

Li Jie clearly remembered that there was a rule when drawing lots.

There were 63 people participating in this competition, so there were 63 stratagems, which matched well with 2 straws. Among them, one of them would directly advance to the next round without a single slot. Zhang Xiaofan had previously drawn the Lucky Draw, so he didn't know if there would be such a scenario again, or if the script would be the same.

Seeing that everyone had gone to draw their lots, Li Jie only smiled faintly. Although Zhang Xiaofan no longer had the evil being from before, but after consuming the inner pellet, his strength had clearly increased. In this kind of competition, as long as he was not too unlucky, he would definitely be able to fight two or three rounds.

Zhang Xiaofan wanted to see just how much his strength had improved, so in this first round, he was also extremely eager to see how hard he had improved. This way, he would be able to let others see his efforts, and not only would he know how to cook, but he would also want to prove it to his master.

He already knew that there was something going on between Junior Apprentice Sister Ling'er and Dragon Head Peak's Qi Hao. This caused his heart to feel incomparably uncomfortable.

Initially, Zhang Xiaofan was still very happy. However, after drawing the lot, his expression changed, and no longer held the same joy as before.

The plot did not change at all. Zhang Xiaofan's first round of action was to no avail. Zhang Xiaofan's original intention was to show off his skills, but he was not as happy. This way, others would say that his luck was good.

"Xiaofan, you're too awesome. You actually took the empty spot. I'm so envious of you!"

When Tian Ling'er saw that Zhang Xiaofan had drawn a single lot, she was even more happy than if she'd missed it.

The others all left Zhang Xiaofan to prepare for their first match.

Indeed, as expected, the first round of the competition wasn't very exciting. They either crushed the opponent, or they were evenly matched. If one of them continued to drag things out, there wouldn't be any extraordinary moves.

However, Li Jie had indeed noticed that a few of them were extremely relaxed when facing their opponents, or it could be said that they didn't have much effort. They weren't on the same level at all.

After the first round of the competition ended and they rested for a bit, the second round would soon begin. Li Jie was prepared to continue watching.

Xiao Yi walked up to Li Jie's side and said, "Benefactor, Sect Master, please come to the main seat."
