Chapter 10: The Battle with the Hundred Beasts Sect

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The disciples below the stage were all shocked when the dust dispersed.

Most of them were extremely shocked.

That was because Huangfu Longdou was still standing calmly on the stage.

On the other hand, Senior Zhao Xiong was lying motionless at about 20 meters away from him. Blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and his life and death were unknown.

The duel between the two of them was too fast. Everything happened in a flash.

As for the disciples outside the arena, they had no idea what had happened.

They only heard a loud bang, and then Zhao Xiong laid on the ground.

Some of the disciples had sharp eyes, but they were in shock.

That was because they saw that the main reason Zhao Xiong was defeated was that Huangfu Longdou stood upright and allowed Zhao Xiong to attack instead of him unleashing any powerful skills.

In other words, Zhao Xiong was injured by the backlash of his attack.

That result showed that Zhao Xiong’s physical strength was far inferior to Huangfu Longdou’s!

Hiss!

Some of the body-refining disciples gasped.

There were many ways for body refining martial artists to strengthen their physical strength and defeat their opponents.

However, no one would be so arrogant and stand there, letting others beat them. Moreover, the person who attacked him was defeated.

How could this result not shock them?

Huangfu Longdou’s performance also attracted the attention of many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

Zhao Xiong could be considered a figure among the unrecognized registered disciples.

It also meant that his strength was pretty good to be able to defeat Zhao Xiong.

In addition, Huangfu Longdou’s bald appearance attracted the attention of many people.

However, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s elders only glanced at Huangfu Longdou’s arena before withdrawing their gazes.

Because the other arenas had also begun their battle at this time.

The opponents were Huang Xinyan, the girl with the strongest natural talent among the unrecognized registered disciples, as well as Gui Lan, who cultivated both martial arts and techniques.

Huang Xinyan was one of the outstanding unrecognized registered disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. She was not even fourteen years old this year, yet her strength was at the Third Level of the Qi-Condensation Realm.

Such natural talent was already considered strong among the outer disciples.

The reason she could not become an outer disciple was that she was a refugee from another region, not a citizen from the eastern lands. The eastern land sect had high requirements for outsiders, and even people who were not from the same sect had to be carefully vetted, not to mention that she was not a person from the eastern lands.

The requirements for her were even strict than others.

Gui Lan was from the eastern land, but he was already old. He was now 25 years old, but his realm was only at the Second Level of the Qi-Condensation Realm.

That meant that his cultivation prospects were not very high. At most, he could only cultivate to the Middle Stage of the Qi-Condensation Realm.

Therefore, he could only work hard on body-refining to break through the limits of his physical body, or to stimulate his potential.

The battle between the two naturally attracted the attention of most people.

The fifth elder saw Gui Lan. Then he nodded slightly as he said, “Gui Lan would be a good seedling to cultivate sword techniques if it was not because his age had passed the best time to cultivate. Now, he can only cultivate body-refining techniques.”

“That’s right. What’s the use of body-refining techniques? Even the strongest body would be directly killed if it was struck by Sword Qi,” The second elder said indifferently.

“That little girl’s foundation is pretty good. It’s a pity that she only focuses on cultivation and doesn’t pay attention to the tempering of sword techniques. She had gone in the wrong path.”

“There’s no suspense in this comparison. The winner will be Huang Xinyan. After all, she’s powerful and is also a sword cultivator,” the few elders commented from time to time.

A hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the young disciple beside Li Zaiye.

He turned his head and didn’t look at them.

The match below the stage also began at that moment.

Huang Xinyan’s sword Qi was rampant, and her moves were accurate. Each technique had an incomparably stable foundation.

On the other hand, Gui Lan, who cultivated both martial arts and skills had a great defense. They were locked in a tie situation.

Gui Lan gradually suppressed Huang Xinyan with his strong combat experience.

In the end, Gui Lan obtained the victory this time.

Wang Tian stood beside the two of them and announced the results of the match.

“The 732nd match, Gui Lan wins!”

Li Mu in the training hall burst into laughter at that moment.

“Hahaha, can this even be considered a sect genius? Even a sword cultivator can’t beat a body-refining cultivator. How ridiculous.”

The second elder and the others frowned, but they had no other choice. After all, what the person said was the truth.

“Mu’er, don’t talk nonsense. The Heavenly Sword Sect accepts all kinds of cultivators. It’s just that there are more body-refining cultivators among them,” Li Zaiye said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, he did not hide the disdain look in his eyes.

The anger in Chen Xuanfeng’s heart rose bit by bit upon hearing their words.

The Heavenly Sword Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect were the same. They were also one of the four great sects of the eastern greenland. They also needed reputation. The two of them were condemning shamelessly in front of so many people from the same sect. They didn’t even put the Heavenly Sword Sect in their eyes.

How could they not be angry?

“Sir, since you are speaking so arrogantly. Don’t tell me you are bullying my Heavenly Sword Sect?”

Chen Xuanfeng’s aura was shaken. His entire body moved without any wind.

“Hehehe,” Li Zaiye laughed and said, “Sect Leader Chen, you are too serious. This disciple of mine saw that the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect had superb techniques, and he couldn’t help but feel like entering the arena. How about letting the disciples fight? I will let him apologize to Sect Leader Chen if the people of the sword sect win. If my disciple wins by luck, then…”

“Then what?” Chen Xuanfeng said in a deep voice.

“Then you hand in the spot of the four great sects’ competition to our Hundred Beasts Sect,” Li Zaiye said with his voice wrapped in spiritual energy. Everyone at the competition naturally heard him.

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect all quieted down that moment.

They were all rubbing their fists and feeling indignant. These two people were here to challenge the sect.

However, they found that the person with the name Li Mu was a genuine disciple of the Seventh Level of the Qi-Gathering Realm after a slight investigation.

He would be considered a powerful inner disciple in the Heavenly Sword Sect with such strength.

The disciples present could not help but lower their heads.

However, they had already slapped the face of the sect. Wouldn’t it mean that the Heavenly Sword Sect was afraid of their Hundred Beast Sect if they did not settle this?

Chen Xuanfeng frowned and said in a deep voice, “Since Brother Li is so eager, then what’s the harm in adding another match to the tournament? However, it should be done according to our rules since it’s a grand competition in the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

“Please say your requirements,” Li Zaiye said indifferently. He also wanted to see what Chen Xuanfeng was up to.

The other sect masters at the side also looked at him with curious expressions, anticipating Chen Xuanfeng’s response.

“Since your disciple wants to compare with our sect’s disciples, the Hundred Beasts Sect doesn’t need to apologize to our sword sect if our sword sect wins. You only need to give us the quota for the Qingzhou Region Grand Tournament next month.”

Li Zaiye’s gaze was firm, and he said loudly, “Deal! Since Sect Leader Chen is so straightforward, then this matter is a deal.”

“How about this? Mu’er’s strength is at the Seventh Level of the Qi-Gathering Realm and is much stronger than you outer disciples. Three matches will be arranged for this competition. If the Heavenly Sword Sect can win one of the matches, then our Hundred Beast Sect will be considered as defeat in this competition.”

They would be considered as losing the competition if the Heavenly Sword Sect won one of the three matches.

What they said showed that they had great confidence.

Chen Xuanfeng agreed without even think twice.
