“why is that?” frowned long chen.
“these missions can only be given out once the first faction competition is over. we only allow you to see the missions and rewards to give you guys a reminder.
“within the monastery, the competition is extremely intense. if you want to obtain more resources than others, you’ll need to put in one hundred percent of your effort.
“the faction competition is a fight over the mission priorities. you’ll only receive missions in accordance to your ranking.
“if your faction comes in first, the points from the missions you’ll receive will number in the hundreds of thousands.
“if i were to make an analogy, these missions are like beef noodle soup. first place will come and take all the big pieces of meat. only then can second place come and take the smaller pieces. as for third place, they’ll probably only end up with some leftover ground meat and noodles.
“the rest is also distributed in accordance to ranking. as for last place, there won’t even be soup for them to drink. they’ll only be able to lick the bowl.” that woman explained it all in one go to long chen.
they were all disciples from the previous generation and had personally experienced that cruel competition. so they also deeply sympathized with these new disciples who had just arrived.
“so the start is extremely important. during the first faction competition, you must absolutely get a good ranking. it is the most important. although the faction competition occurs once a month, if you’re unable to obtain a good spot in the first month, then the distance between you and first place will only increase. that distance will only continue to grow larger each month, and it is extremely difficult to catch up,” she warned.
long chen gratefully nodded. after saying his thanks to her, he began walking back to the faction.
that senior apprentice-sister’s words were absolutely correct. the first faction competition was extremely important. everyone started at the same starting line, but if they allowed others to take the lead, it would be extremely difficult to catch up.
that first step would allow them to receive more points and buy more resources, increasing the entire power level of the faction.
then by the next competition, the distance would have only grown. if you were once more surpassed, it was practically certain you would never be able to catch up.
it was unfortunate he still didn’t know what kind of form the faction competition would take. otherwise if he could come up with some kind of good strategy they would also get an advantage.
long chen had just been walking with his head down when a figure suddenly rushed over. he instinctively dodged to the side.
but that figure still crashed onto long chen. that person’s force was so great that being caught off guard, long chen was sent flying.
he only managed to stabilize himself dozens of meters away. his fury ignited, as he clearly knew that person had done that on purpose.
looking forward, he saw a tall, large man who was completely bald icily looking at him. that person was a whole head taller than long chen. his huge arms were bare with many veins crawling over them, emitting an explosive strength like a volcano that contained endless power.
his arms were also covered with tattoos that were extremely crude. standing there, he was like an unshakable iron tower.
behind that bald man were three others. one of them had a powerful aura and was indifferently looking down on long chen.
as for the other two, long chen recognized them. they were surprisingly lei qianshang and qi xin. the two of them were smiling at long chen’s misfortune.
“this is the monster amongst monsters you told me about?” the bald man asked lei qianshang.
“yes, but don’t underestimate him. although he’s only in the late blood condensation realm, he wouldn’t be inferior to an outer disciple who is in the tendon transformation realm. he might even be a bit stronger.”
that bald man shook his head. “having just advanced to the late blood condensation realm, his physical body is not bad. however, his cultivation base is too trash, not even worth looking at. let’s go.”
“more importantly, he revived his ancestral mark before entering the monastery. the power of his bloodline inheritance has already become part of his power. his strength is already beyond your imagination.”
long chen was shocked that he had awakened his ancestral mark before joining the monastery. such a powerful person had definitely joined the monastery for the ten thousand beast essence blood. now that his physical body had reached an even higher level of perfection, wouldn’t he be even stronger than tang wan-er?
“your generation of disciples is the strongest generation in the history of the monastery. few generations have a genius who can awaken their ancestral mark.
“but this time there were four. other than tang wan-er and ye zhiqiu who you know, there’s also the gu yang you just encountered.
“there’s also another person named guan wennan. his strength is terrifying, and he’s extremely arrogant and coldhearted. you should be more careful.
“i tell you this in order to remind that when one hundred flowers bloom at once, there is no one who doesn’t want to be the lead.
“but you also know that there is just one lead. the competition will be extremely intense, and success in the first faction competition is crucial.”
“many thanks senior apprentice-brother wan for your warning. junior disciple will remember it.” senior apprentice-brother wan’s words were the exact same as that senior apprentice-sister from the mission distribution building.
“i look favorably on you. good luck.” senior apprentice-brother wan patted long chen on the shoulder and then left.
long chen walked back to the immortal cave alone. tang wan-er and qing yu were still in their meditative state. that was a good sign.
three days later, it was tang wan-er who was the first to wake up. after awakening, her aura had become completely stable.
it no longer leaked out as before. she had begun to control her own explosive aura. in other words, her realm had already completely stabilized.
long chen told her about what had happened in the mission distribution building as well as the matter of gu yang, giving her a fright.
she hadn’t expected that there were two others who had also awakened their ancestral marks. and one of them had even awakened it before her and ye zhiqiu.
“wan-er, i still have a great deal of jade butterfly queen bee crystal. you should distribute it to everyone so that they can all cultivate faster.
“furthermore, also send some to ye zhiqiu. since we are in an alliance, we’ll all be one family. their strength is also our strength.
“i’m thinking of buying some more medicinal ingredients and refining some tendon firming pills for her side as well. ugh, if i had known earlier, i wouldn’t have let them go buy those trash medicinal pills.” long chen couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful that he had forgotten about such an important thing.
by the time long chen had thought of it, they had already bought them. sometimes he really felt his head wasn’t smart enough.
that very day, tang wan-er bought more medicinal ingredients and long chen refined them into pills. his pills were all high grade, and so they could allow them to stabilize their realm even faster. for the first faction competition, spending a couple extra points to save some more time was definitely worth it.
once all their people had stabilized their cultivation bases, long chen had people spar with each other. only in real combat could people become accustomed to their strength the fastest.
their side had gotten at least ten more days than other people, giving them enough time to adapt to their cultivation bases. they would be able to fight with much more strength than others.
under practically a day and night training, the time quickly flew by. one month quietly passed before they knew it.
dong!
a loud bell rang out, reaching every corner of the xuantian monastery. long chen slowly opened his eyes from his rest.
“the faction competition has started.”
