Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 1061 - 121: Rumors Are Fiercer Than Tigers

Chapter 1061: Chapter 121: Rumors Are Fiercer Than Tigers

Hong Mingyue thought about these things as she arrived at the training grounds, just in time to witness Ye Lingyue being besieged by public opinion.

Seeing this scene, her earlier gloom lifted considerably.

Heh~ It seems spreading rumors was indeed the right thing to do.

Ye Lingyue, if my days aren’t going well, you shouldn’t expect yours to go well either.

Your little man does have some skills.

But rumors are fiercer than tigers. Do you really think these people are only saying things casually?

Just wait for the competition; you’ll become a human target.

Di Shen won’t really take the stage to protect you.

The thought that she was only facing challenges from some female disciples, while Ye Lingyue was facing hostility from the entire Inner and Outer Sects, made Hong Mingyue secretly delighted.

Ye Lingyue noticed the change in Hong Mingyue’s expression, confirming her suspicion that Hong Mingyue was the culprit behind the rumors.

This woman, truly a dog that can’t change its habit of eating (shit).

However, does she truly believe that these petty rumors can defeat her?

What a joke. Rumors stop with the wise. She would surely blind those waiting to see her fail.

The second day was the Level-crossing Competition. Before the competition started, fifty people each from the miscellaneous servants, Outer Sect, and Inner Sect who qualified during the same-level competition were grouped into fifteen teams, each consisting of ten people.

A round-robin tournament would be held among the ten people, and the two best performers from each group would advance to the final top ten competition.

The second day’s Level-crossing Competition was attended by Master Wuya and the Four Elders.

The competition followed a lottery drawing format.

"Little Di Shen, let’s hope we don’t draw into the same group."

Qin Xiaochuan muttered while drawing his lot.

"Don’t worry, fourth brother, if I draw into your group, I’ll defeat you as quickly as possible, and ensure you won’t suffer any internal or external injuries."

Little Di Shen grinned.

"Hey, you little ghost, itching for a beating, huh? Just because you won against me last time, you think I’m always weaker than you? Don’t forget who initially taught you martial arts."

Qin Xiaochuan and Little Di Shen bickered.

Seeing Little Di Shen joking around, Ye Lingyue and Wuyue also laughed nearby.

Especially Ye Lingyue, seeing such a lively Little Di Shen, she felt a wave of emotion.

Two years had passed, and sometimes Ye Lingyue thought perhaps this state of Little Di Shen was best.

Although he lost his memory, he was happier.

He was no longer "orphaned" Feng Xun, nor the solitary, arrogant Wu Zhong; he was the Heaven’s Chosen Son, cherished by his mentor, and senior brothers and sisters on Wuya Peak, Xiao Liu.

Her constant efforts to restore Little Di Shen’s memory and return him to his former self — was this the right thing to do?

Ye Lingyue felt perplexed for the first time.

The lottery results soon came out.

"My wife, I’m in the sixth group, which group are you in?"

Little Di Shen waved his lottery result.

"I’m in the first group." Ye Lingyue glanced at her lottery result.

Aside from Ye Lingyue and Little Di Shen, the other members drew their lots separately. Luckily, Ye Lingyue, Little Di Shen, Wuyue, Qin Xiaochuan, and Huang Jun were not in the same group.

However, Ye Lingyue and another miscellaneous servant, Tang Li, were grouped together.

Xue Xuan and Wuyue were also grouped together.

As for Ma Zhao and Hong Mingyue, they were assigned to different groups.

Additionally, Ye Lingyue noticed a familiar face in her group. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Master Tan Yi’s most formidable disciple, Mu Chang.

This person was considered a prominent figure in the Outer Sect, reportedly possessing the Reincarnation Wood Power Third Layer.

"Tsk, Ling Yue, you ended up with Mu Chang in your group. He’s quite formidable."

Huang Jun, upon seeing Mu Chang’s name, spoke with concern.

With both at the Reincarnation Third Layer, Huang Jun knew he wasn’t a match for Mu Chang, not to mention he’d heard that Master Tan Yi had invested heavily in Elixir Pills for Mu Chang for glittering performance in the sect competition.

Mu Chang’s cultivation should have improved considerably, and if he wins first place in the sect, he could directly enter the Inner Sect.

Mu Chang was a strong competitor.

"No worries, I have my own considerations."

Ye Lingyue glanced at Master Tan Yi and his group, noting their malicious stares.

A tall, lanky man stood by Tan Yi’s side, presumably Mu Chang.

Ye Lingyue withdrew her gaze and whispered to Wuyue.

"Fifth Sister, when you face Xue Xuan later, conserve your strength and ensure you’re in the top two."

Wuyue paused, puzzled at Ye Lingyue’s intent.

"Xue Xuan has taken Forbidden Medicine; her strength has advanced rapidly. If you clash directly, it’ll end in mutual destruction. Trust me, let her enjoy pride for the day. Tomorrow, all will be revealed."

The competition prohibits using Forbidden Medicines during matches, but does not explicitly forbid usage before matches.

Most strength-enhancing Forbidden Medicines have short durations, and before the lot is drawn, no one knows when they’ll compete, much less maintain the effect.

Thus, in the Level-crossing Competition, no one would foolishly consume Forbidden Medicine.

But the Elixir Pill Ye Lingyue refined was an exception.

Ye Lingyue already learned from Little Wuya that Xue Xuan had consumed the pill.

From Xue Xuan’s appearance, the drug was showing its effects.

This Elixir Pill was suggested by Ye Lingyue for Xue Xuan, a newly refined pill based on the Five Poison Treasure Record.

Since it was derived from the Five Poison Treasure Record, it wasn’t a true Elixir.

Its catalyst was a drop of Beast Blood from Little Zhiyo’s berserk state.

To a Spiritual Beast or demon beast, this blood was a treasure for boosting strength.

However, if used on mortal Xue Xuan... heh heh, while enhancing her potential, tasting fresh blood would slowly poison her, and Xue Xuan...

Ye Lingyue smirked.

She had no mercy for enemies.

Once all the lottery results were out, all one hundred and fifty contestants were divided into fifteen groups.

The first group began the competition.

"First group, Outer Sect Mu Chang vs. Ye Lingyue of Refining Hall." Elder Xue announced the match’s start, a trace of venom flickering in his eyes.

The lottery was just a formality; he had already tampered with it. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

To avoid suspicion, Elder Xue had placed most popular contestants in different groups to ensure that the scarce Wuya Peak contestants could advance, such as his daughter Xue Xuan paired with the unremarkable Wuyue.

However, Elder Xue didn’t overlook Ye Lingyue, his thorn in the side.

He assigned Ye Lingyue to the same group as Mu Chang.
