Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1053: Chapter 113: The First Round of the Competition

As tensions simmered between Moon Peak and Snow Peak, disciples from the other peaks gradually arrived.

Ye Lingyue noticed that several elders had also arrived one after another.

As soon as the elders arrived, the crowded and chaotic scene in the training grounds was brought under control. According to the hierarchy of each peak, the grounds were divided into several fan-shaped areas.

Little Di Shen, being from Wuya Peak, naturally secured the best viewing spot with several senior brothers and sisters, while the positions of the remaining four peaks were slightly less ideal. The spots for Outer Sect Disciples were even worse, and as for the miscellaneous servants, they could only view from the outermost perimeter, barely able to see the situation on the arena.

Because of Little Di Shen, Ye Lingyue and those from the Refining Hall, including Huang Jun, were upgraded to ”family,” and had the fortune to sit in the Wuya Peak seats.

This arrangement caused Elder Xue, who was the judge for the sect competition, to express dissatisfaction, glaring fiercely at Ye Lingyue, but was met with a big glare back from Little Di Shen.

During the first round of the competition, the Sect Leader did not participate, so once the Four Elders were all present, the sect competition officially began shortly after noon.

As the judge, Elder Xue stepped onto the arena.

Though it was a temporary arena, there was something special about the Lonely Moon Sea’s arena.

Because the same-level competition had the most participants, before announcing the competition’s start, the Array Masters of Lonely Moon Sea set up a spatial array on the arena.

In an instant, the arena, which could originally accommodate only twenty people, expanded to the size of two ball fields.

Ye Lingyue observed this, thinking secretly that Lonely Moon Sea, worthy of being the mainland’s first major sect, seemed to have abundant reserves of Sky Bright Crystals.

”Ladies and gentlemen, during this golden autumn, Lonely Moon Sea holds its biennial sect competition. This year’s sect competition is divided into three rounds. The first round is the same-level competition, divided into Servant Competition, Outer Sect Competition, and Inner Sect Competition, with the top fifty from each category advancing to the next round, the Level-crossing Competition. I now announce the official start of the Servant Competition!”

After Elder Xue spoke, the servant contestants, including Ye Lingyue and Huang Jun, all stood up.

”Wife, do your best.”

Little Di Shen, holding Little Zhiyo, cheered for Ye Lingyue from the side.

Ye Lingyue smiled and joined Huang Jun in leaping onto the arena.

Before standing on the arena, Ye Lingyue was unaware of how many servants were participating in this sect competition. But once she was on stage, she realized there were so many people.

The arena, which was originally spacious with the size of two ball fields, was suddenly half-occupied. At a glance, Ye Lingyue estimated that there were nearly a thousand servants competing this time.

Among them, there were both new and old servants. A few were familiar faces to Ye Lingyue, but most were strangers.

Choosing fifty out of a thousand was no easy task.

Ye Lingyue activated her Qi Observation Technique, scanning the servants’ cultivation levels.

Unexpectedly, there were experts around the Reincarnation Three Paths among the servants. Were it not for the chaotic attributes of the Power of Reincarnation, even a single-attribute Reincarnation Three Paths expert would stand out among the Outer Sect Disciples.

Like Huang Jun, who was also a Reincarnation Three Paths and became a servant because of the complex Power of Reincarnation.

But in terms of true attack power, he might not be much inferior to those Outer Sect Disciples.

Avoiding the strong and confronting the weak, this competition didn’t require showing off too much. Simply entering the top fifty would suffice.

Already forming a plan, Ye Lingyue’s gaze quickly scanned the crowd. In just a few blinks, she identified the strongest few dozen among the nearly thousand contestants.

She softly shared her findings with Huang Jun, advising him to conserve his strength during the battle and avoid direct confrontations.

Once on the arena, most servant contestants shared Ye Lingyue’s thoughts, picking their targets among the participants.

On the entire arena, there were noticeably fewer female contestants than male ones, and quite a few people had their eyes on female contestants, perceived as weaker in strength and stamina.

Ye Lingyue sensed several unfriendly gazes lingering on her. But because Huang Jun, a powerful presence, stood beside her, no one dared to make a move on Ye Lingyue just yet.

Just as Ye Lingyue and Huang Jun planned their joint attack, a person darted in front of them.

Ye Lingyue saw the newcomer, with his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and robust figure. His strength also reached the Reincarnation Three Paths, immediately making her vigilant.

”Tang Li, you don’t mean to oppose us, do you?”

Huang Jun recognized the newcomer, seemingly an old acquaintance.

”Huang Jun, what are you thinking? I’m here to join forces with you. I heard you challenged Snow Peak. I’m willing to support you. Whether we servants can turn the situation around depends on this opportunity.”

Tang Li’s face was full of resentment, seemingly very dissatisfied with the dominance of the Inner Sect and Elder Xue.

Huang Jun was overjoyed upon hearing this.

”Ling Yue, Tang Li came with us on the same boat. He was just assigned to another hall earlier. His strength is similar to mine. He was an orphan, adopted by a Medicine Sect called Tang Sect. Admiring Lonely Moon Sea, he turned away from his sect to join. However, due to the unsuitability of the Power of Reincarnation, he became a servant.”

Huang Jun believed that with both himself and Tang Li as Reincarnation Three Paths, adding Ye Lingyue, they could easily advance in the same-level competition.

”Agreed, the three of us will join forces.”

Ye Lingyue glanced at Tang Li, not ignoring the joy in his eyes when she agreed.

Just as Ye Lingyue anticipated, once Tang Li joined, the three of them surged forward without resistance; no one dared to attack them.

Two hours later, the crowded arena had only fifty remaining. Those who failed to pass the test left dejectedly.

”Tang Li, Ye Lingyue, Huang Jun... and others advance to the Level-crossing Competition. The second round of the same-level competition begins.”

As Elder Xue saw Ye Lingyue and others advance, he snorted coldly, announced the results, and then called the Outer Sect Disciples to the stage for the second round of the same-level competition.

As they stepped down the arena, Ye Lingyue remembered something and asked Huang Jun.

”By the way, why haven’t I seen Luo Yi?”

Upon arriving at Lonely Moon Sea, Ye Lingyue’s first friends during the assessment were Luo Yi and Huang Jun.

After the assessment, she and Huang Jun were assigned to the servants’ area.

Luo Yi alone joined the Outer Sect.

But for the past two years, Ye Lingyue hadn’t seen Luo Yi. Today’s sect competition, many new disciples participated, including those from the Outer Sect.

But Luo Yi was nowhere to be seen.

”I heard from other brothers, when Luo Yi first joined, he was, by chance, chosen to be a maid for an Inner Sect Disciple. Later, when that disciple went to the Ancient Battlefield, they took Luo Yi with them. Honestly, I don’t know how she is now.”

Huang Jun’s information was usually better than Ye Lingyue’s, but he also had no news about Luo Yi.
