Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1042: Chapter 366: Advancement, Mysterious Female Cultivator, Bald Monk_3

If it’s a round robin battle.

Then the competition is undoubtedly more intense.

While everyone was discussing.

The black-robed elder spoke again:

”Congratulations to the ninety of you present for entering the finals. Before the last match begins, those who occupy high positions on the pillars can first choose two people; those selected have no right to refuse. Half a stick of incense later, the method and content of the finals will be announced.”

After finishing speaking.

The black-robed elder closed his eyes directly.

With no intention of explaining further.

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone buzzed with discussion.

Cao Qingyun was first delighted:

”Brother Lio, this is great, it’s indeed team selection. When it’s my turn, I’ll definitely choose Brother Lio first.”

Fu Changsheng just shook his head with a smile.

Among the ninety people.

The pillar he was on was closest to the edge and the lowest, naturally with no choice rights, but Cao Qingyun was only slightly better than him, it wouldn’t be his turn to choose.

Clearly.

Cao Qingyun soon realized it too, his face turning pale.

With the divine power Fu Changsheng had just shown, his combat power wasn’t inferior to any late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, and vaguely matched the Purple Mansion Peak, definitely making him a prized choice; it wouldn’t be Cao Qingyun’s turn to choose.

However.

Unexpectedly.

The one in the high position first chose a teammate with slightly weaker combat power rather than an equal at Purple Mansion Peak.

Cao Qingyun blinked:

”Brother Lio, what’s going on?”

Fu Changsheng quickly realized, understanding vaguely, that the high position individual likely thought the upcoming match might be a team fight, thus naturally avoiding the stronger ones when choosing.

But.

If that’s the case.

Shadow Sect wouldn’t have needed to go to such lengths.

Perhaps those in high positions considered this reason too but still chose weaker ones, clearly finding a scapegoat for crucial moments.

Based on this idea.

Those who had previously extended an olive branch to him now directly skipped him.

Fu Changsheng actually felt relieved, because teaming with a Purple Mansion Peak, the speaking rights wouldn’t be in his hands, and many things would be uncontrollable.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the turn of the tenth red-robed female cultivator.

Only to see her hand concealed in her sleeve swiftly motioning, an eerie aura swirling around her. Finally, her charming eyes turned upon Fu Changsheng:

”I want Number One Hundred.”

Fu Changsheng’s heart tightened!

Unexpectedly.

The other party seemed stubborn.

This red-robed female cultivator gave him a strange feeling, and he absolutely didn’t want to team up with her. However, on the side, Cao Qingyun was so envious, congratulating warmly:

”Congratulations Brother Lio!”

Fu Changsheng shook his head with a smile, hearing above him the red-robed female cultivator’s charming voice:

”Fellow Daoist, you can choose the remaining person”

Fu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, unsure of her intentions. But regardless of her purpose, it was a blessing for him as he glanced at Cao Qingyun who was watching him eagerly.

The red-robed female cultivator covered her mouth with a laugh:

”Didn’t expect the fellow Daoist to value loyalty and duty, fine, let it be him.”

Cao Qingyun was filled with surprise from despair, not expecting, after twists and turns, to team up with Fu Changsheng again:

”Brother Lio, rest assured, I definitely won’t disappoint you”

With the team formed.

The black-robed elder cast a technique onto the jade talisman in his hand, a rumbling sound, and the pillars beneath everyone’s feet sunk into the ground.

Fu Changsheng’s group of three gathered, exchanged names.

The black-robed elder waved his sleeve, and soon a scroll appeared, the runes shooting out, forming lines of text in midair, revealing a list of tasks upon closer inspection:

[1: Go to Tongyu Tower and steal the Anming Stone placed in the secret chamber]

[2: At Blood Abyss Mountain, slay the hybrid Cloud-devouring Beast bred by Ancient Fierce Beasts]

[3: Kill the Nunnery Master of Flame Moon Temple]

[4: ....]

.....

Fu Changsheng glanced over, finding a total of ninety tasks, but only the beginnings were written, with no detailed description of the tasks.

Judging by the setup.

The final match should be about task execution, not team dueling!

The higher cultivated ones present seemed slightly disappointed, while Cao Qingyun with average combat power was all smiles; now he could fully utilize his skills in the task execution, thus he enthusiastically studied for a while, though the ninety tasks left him overwhelmed:

”Brother Lio, could the task difficulty be determined by the serial number? Why do I feel the further back, the harder the tasks?”

”Let’s take another look.”

Actually, Fu Changsheng was unsure.

Because among the dozens of task information, he didn’t find familiar place names from Great Zhou.

Different from Fu Changsheng and Cao Qingyun, Fairy Yaoo seemed uninterested in the tasks, glancing briefly before looking at Fu Changsheng, her charming eyes smiling:

”Brother Lio, which task do you think we should choose?”

Though Fu Changsheng was wary of Fairy Yaoo, her willingness to delegate the choice to him suggested he could exchange for some intelligence to consider, so he promptly said:

”I’ll study it further”

In essence.

His mind focused on the panel:

”Exchange intelligence”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Followed by lines of text appearing:

[1: The second task, go to Blood Abyss Mountain and slay the hybrid offspring Cloud-devouring Beast bred by Ancient Fierce Beasts, the mountain contains a Blood Pool, which can elevate your Blood Talisman Spirit Body to Acquired Tier Two]

[2:...]

Fu Changsheng hadn’t yet viewed the second piece of intelligence.

When suddenly the tasks hovering turned into Yellow Orioles, concurrently, the black-robed elder’s voice sounded:

”Freely choose tasks, after a stick of incense, the Heaven-Reaching Gate will open.”
