75 – history’s most boring finals

ON JANUARY 12, 2022 BY MOONCHILDKHZ

Zone B’s finals finished, the winner was Su Xiaomo. 

Including the two disciples left in Zone D, the top 4 and championship would belong to the Ironbone Sect!

Very flamboyant, very domineering.

The various cultivators, and even Liyang City Lord, could only feel their faces fill with a splendid expression. 

There was once a time where two disciples from the same sect met in the finals. 

But four disciples from the same sect entering the top 4, so that one sect occupied the top 3? This situation had never happened!

This was probably the first and last time. 

“Quarterfinals third match, the winner is Su Xiaomo!”

“Quarterfinals fourth match, Xiao Zuiji versus Tian Qi!”

The referee announced one after another.

Although whoever won, Zone D would belong to an Ironbone Sect disciple, according to the rules, one of them had to win. 

Shua!

Tian Qi walked on stage first.
He turned to Xiao Zuiji, who was climbing the stairs, and said with a smile, “Junior Brother, Senior Brother won’t go easy on you.”

Xiao Zuiji said, “Same here.”

“Begin!” yelled the referee.

Shua!

Xiao Zuiji and Tian Qi used their top speed, sprinting towards each other.

“Full speed!”

“It seems like even if they’re from the same sect, they must decide victory and defeat.”

The audience anticipated.

They didn’t care about the champion anymore, as it would definitely be the Ironbone Sect.
Instead, they wanted to see some intense competition, so that their trip here would not be in vain. 

Xiao Zuiji and Tian Qi rushed at each other at extreme speeds. 

After there was about one meter of distance between them, they clenched their fists and halted. 

In one voice, they yelled….

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

Tian Qi, scissors.

Xiao Zuiji, rock. 

“Aah!” Tian Qi immediately turned around and ran to the edge, jumping off stage.
He then loudly complained, “We agreed that everyone would show paper, but he actually secretly changed to rock!”

The many audience members had frozen. 

They were using rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner and the loser… did that count as a match?

The referee was also dumbfounded, but Tian Qi had admitted defeat by jumping off the stage.
Thus, the referee could only announce, “Quarterfinals fourth match, the winner is Xiao Zuiji.”

[Ding! Four disciples take over the top four, limit conditions have been met, Epic mission has been completed, completion is at 150%.
The host has obtained 200 contribution points.]

[Ding! Sect Contribution: 312/500.]

“Fuck!” Jun Changxiao was also wide-eyed.
“So many?”

[Ding! The host has exceeded the mission conditions and obtained Seal Opening Talisman x1.
The empirical value of the reward is uncertain!]

The system’s prompts had just ended when Jun Changxiao felt a vast spiritual energy gather in his dantian, gradually forming cyclones of qi. 

“This… A breakthrough?”

Jun Changxiao was astounded, staring blankly as cyclones condensed in his dantian.
As the fierce qi gathered, it made his spirits rise. 

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to the first stage of Martial Apprentice!]

Jun Changxiao waved his hand, saying, “Tan fácil!” [1]

Others had to expend energy to condense a cyclone in Meridian Opening Stage Twelve, but he directly broke through — it couldn’t have been any easier. 

However…

His spiritual power did not stop just because he had reached First Stage Martial Disciple, it was actually rising successively!

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Second Stage Martial Apprentice!]

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Third Stage Martial Apprentice!]

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Fourth Stage Martial Apprentice!]

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Fifth Stage Martial Apprentice!]

In a short time, Jun Changxiao went from Meridian Opening Stage Twelve to Fifth Stage Martial Apprentice — the time needed was only several seconds!

Putong!

The Great Red Gate elder collapsed onto the floor, his mouth wide enough to stuff inside two eggs. 

Jun Changxiao’s breakthrough, being promoted wave after wave, had been witnessed by him. 

And my god!

My ancestors!

What happened to this guy a moment ago? Was that a breakthrough?

Impossible!

How could there be someone who broke through so crazily? It certainly had to be a deliberate release of cultivation, faking the appearance of a cultivation improvement!

The Great Red Gate elder consoled his frightened heart. 

“Hu!” Jun Changxiao exhaled, stretching his arms and back, and grinned.
“Feels great!”

What felt even better was…

After the Epic Mission had been overfulfilled, he had been awarded a Seal-Opening Talisman!

The 40 meter long Irretractable Sabre was Sect Head Jun’s strongest hidden card.
With the Seal-Opening Talisman, it meant that he could use it once more.

Spirit Spring Sect? Xiao Family?

One this Lord draws his sword from its sheath, anybody and everybody will be cut!

At that moment, Sect Head Jun wanted to jump to the highest point and yell, “Anyone else?”

The system sounded. 

[Too bad the Sect Martial Arts Competition did not consider the top 5, otherwise the completion percentage would be even higher.]

“That is very regrettable.”

Jun Changxiao said that, but he was already very content. 

He had gotten 100 contribution points for top 50, then 200 contribution points for over-completion.
His cultivation base has increased by several leaps and also obtained a Seal-Opening Talisman.
Why should he not be content?

Truly considered an epic mission; how terrifying!

“Semi-finals, Lu Qianqian versus Li Qingyang!”

After a short break, the referee shouted. 

The cultivators in the audience regained their spirits immediately.
After all, if these two people fought, exploding with their true strengths, it would definitely be very…

Li Qingyang stepped onto the stage and after the referee shouted to start, he cupped his hands towards his senior sister, turned around and jumped off-stage. 

“This…”

Many cultivators felt their eyes spinning. 

This was the semi-finals, even if you’re from the same sect, can’t you at least fight a little?

At worst, rock-paper-scissors is also acceptable.

“The winner is Lu Qianqian,” the referee helplessly announced. 

Next was Su Xiaomo and Xiao Zuiji. 

Many of the cultivators leaned back into their chairs, having lost all excitement or expectations. 

And no wonder. 

After the match began, the two Ironbone Sect disciples charged at full speed.
But they weren’t charging at each other.
No, they were competing over who could reach the edge of the stage first.

In the end, Su Xiaomo was superior.
By the time Xiao Zuiji had just reached the edge, Su Xiaomo had already leapt off, successfully eliminating himself first. 

“This is a bad joke!”

“Rushing to eliminate themselves, what has the world become?”

“Sigh, who let them all be of the same sect…”

Which past final was not extremely intense? But in this fight to the top, they weren’t just jumping off on their own initiatives, they were rushing to face elimination.

Only one question: Are you guys having fun?

Whether or not it was fun, the Sect Martial Arts Competition had finally reached the finale, which was similarly an Ironbone Sect civil war.

“Finals, Lu Qianqian versus Xiao Zuiji.”

The referee’s voice was now bitter and weak.
With the participants pulling their punches, the matches had lost their fervor. 

Xiao Zuiji was the first one to step on stage.
He humbly said, “Senior Sister, you should be champion.”

After tyrannically beating up Bei Jian and Xiao Linye, he had regained his self-confidence and vented his grievances.
He had absolutely no interest in contending for first place. 

Lu Qianqian walked up, then walked down. 

She also had no interest.
If it weren’t for Li Qingyang acting first, she would have been eliminated in the last round. 

And just like that. 

The referee didn’t even bother announcing it anymore.
The biannual Sect Martial Arts Competition’s most important match had come to an end. 

The champion was the Ironbone Sect disciple, Xiao Zuiji. 

The audience wanted to cry. 

They had come from far away, rushing over with all their might.
But these Ironbone Sect disciples had treated the finals just like this…

After the competition ended, various big-shots sat together and discussed.
They introduced a new policy: if disciples from the same sect met, they had to fight.
Playing rock-paper-scissors, walking off the stage, or racing to jump off was forfeit and both participants would be eliminated!

“Ah,” Jun Changxiao waved his hand.
“This Lord thought that getting the championship would be difficult.
I didn’t expect that the other participants were so weak, really disappointing this Lord.”

[Ding! Points for acting cool: 999999…]

[1] He says ‘so easy’ in English, so I chose another language.
