Chapter 176: The Internal Disciple petition Begins

  "sidering your det performahis time, I'll spare you for now."

  After dispersing the fme barriers, Gu He smiled at the Wuhu Guardian.

  Upon hearing this, the initially despo Wuhu Guardian suddenly became overjoyed. "Thank you for sparing my life, sir! I promise that after I leave, I won't reveal any of your information..."

  Clearly, the Wuhu Guardian had misuood something a making assurances in front of Gu He.

  "Leave? Who said I'm letting you leave?"

  "You think I'm letting you go?"

  At this, Gu He's face dispyed a strange expression.

  Could it be that the Wuhu Guardian had been rendered foolish by the beating?

  Given the circumstances, sparing his life was already generous. Yet, he still harbored thoughts of leaving?

  Seemingly g in intelligence.

  "Aren't you pnning to let me go?"

  "Do you still want to imprison me?"

  Hearing this, the Wuhu Guardian's expression ged, and he roared in anger.

  "Do you think I'll just let you go like this?"

  With a cold sneer, Gu He didn't wait for the Wuhu Guardian's angry retort. With a wave of his hand, a su force surged out, drawing the Wuhu Guardian bato the jade bottle. Then, invisible fmes poured in, maintaining a high temperature within the sealed bottle, keeping the Wuhu Guardian's soul in a state of severe injury.

  After sealing the Wuhu Guardian again, Gu He let out a sigh of relief, his expression slightly grave.

  He khat what the Wuhu Guardiaioned was just the tip of the iceberg of the formidable Soul Hall.

  Even this small piece was enough to make him extremely wary.

  At least, at his current level, he absolutely couldn't tend with the Soul Hall.

  "As, if only I had a powerful bag." Thinking about his current situation, Gu He revealed a helpless expression.

  The reasoed so low-key, not daring to expose his true strength, was simply because he feared attrag the attention of the Soul Hall.

  But now, he had no powerful support besides his own strength.

  Once he fully exposed his strength and attracted the attention of powerful figures from the Soul Hall, the sequences would be unimaginable.

  If only he had a strong bag right now.

  However, such things couldn't be forced, and on the Dou Qi ti, there were very few powerful backers that could make the Soul Hall wary.

  Thinking about this, Gu He sighed helplessly.

  Without a powerful support, he could only rely on himself.

  Before having enough strength, Gu He wouldn't dare to front the Soul Hall head-on.

  , Gu He took out the two soul teiques he had obtained earlier and started to carefully study them.

  Time passed quickly, and in the blink of ahree days had gone by. The highly anticipated internal disciple ranking petition for the Yu finally arrived.

  The internal disciple petition was the liveliest event of the year for the entire Yu.

  During the petition, the rarely seee internal disciples and the elders who usually kept a low profile would all make appearances.

  This was because the internal disciple ranking petition was the stage for elite internal disciples. Only disciples who were above the Dou Practitioner realm and under eighteen years old were eligible to participate.

  Ordinary disciples below the Dou Practitioner realm would act as spectators on the sidelines.

  Even though oe internal disciples participated, their numbers were not small. Acc to statistics, there were a total of 1,016 elite internal disciples iire Yu, all of whom were above the Dou Practitioner realm.

  The internal disciple ranking petition followed an elimination system, where two disciples would pete oage, and the winner would advance while the loser would be eliminated.

  Elite internal disciples ranged from oar Dou Practitioo ar Dou Practitioner, with fewer disciples having higher cultivation levels.

  Those at the oar Dou Practitioner level made up more than half, totaling 549 people.

  For two-star and three-star Dou Practitioners, they ated for about two-thirds, with 321 people.

  Four-star Dou Practitioners made up about oh, with 114 people.

  As for those above four-star Dou Practitioners, their numbers were the fewest, only a few dozen.

  To avoid high-level disciples meeting prematurely, causing strong oo be eliminated early and the rankings to be unfair, there were rules for the petition draws.

  In each round of drawing lots, higher-level disciples would draw first, and the targets to be drawn would prioritize those with the lowest cultivation level.

  In other words, if a oar Dou Practitioner disciple resent, the drawing would start with oar Dou Practitioner disciples. The targets to be drawn must start from oar Dou Practitioner disciples, and only when all the oar Dou Practitioner disciples were drawn could two-star Dou Practitioner disciples be drawn, and so on.

  Elite internal disciples totaled 1,016, and each round of the petition eliminated half of them. Thus, ten rounds of matches were o determihe first pce.

  If the number of disciples tinuing the petition became odd during the process, they would be fortuo have a bye, and the disciple with a bye would directly advao the round.

  ...

  On this day, the Yu's internal square was crowded with people, bustling and noisy. Several thousand internal disciples gathered on the square.

  In the middle of the internal square, the number of stages had increased from oo eight, with seveages added, arranged in two rows, ly opposite each other.

  Each stage on the east side had a grandstand with eleves. Every stage had aernal elder and teernal disciples .

  Throughout the internal sect, with five or six thousand disciples divided among ten peaks, each peak had an internal elder as the peak master, two external elders as deputy peak masters, and several disciples responsible for managing and teag the peak's disciples.

  Each stage had aernal elder presiding, and one disciple from each peak observed to ensure fairness.

  In front of the internal square, a rger grandstand had bee up, with a ptform on top where the ten peak masters and some external elders were located. From this ptform, they could observe the situation on any stage.

  "Who do you think will take first p this internal disciple petition?"

  "Of course, it will be Senior Sister Nan. I heard her cultivation level has already reached the six-star Dou Practitioner realm. She's also the direct disciple of the Sect Master, so she's definitely going to be the first iernal petition."

  "The Grand Elder's grandson, Senior Brother Yun Luo, is also very powerful. He ehe two-star Dou Practitioner realm st year. Besides Senior Sister Nan, I think no one is Senior Brother Yun Luo's oppohis time."

  "Senior Brother Lin Hao is also very strong. He's the direct disciple of the Sed Elder. He ehe top twenty of the internal sect st year. After another year, his strength may have surpassed Senior Brother Yun Luo!"

  "In my opinion, the top three this time should be Senior Sister Nan, Senior Brother Yun, and Senior Brother Lin. This estimation is probably beyond dispute."
