"Great!!!"

Zheng-Fu let out a satisfied smile as he saw the young man's skill. He could sense the energy that occurred after Guang-Hong released it. It was a good opportunity for him to test out his Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill, which he had developed.

Whoooooooosh!!!

[Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill]

Roooaaar!!!

Boooooooom!!!

As Zheng-Fu performed the Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill, a huge Qi dragon suddenly appeared in the air before it dashed towards the dozens of Qi sabers that were generated by Guang-Hong's Heaven Commanded Beneath the Sky Saber Stance Skill. And when the energy of the two skills collided, an explosion and a violent energy wave occurred, along with dust and smoke floating all over the arena.

"Oh, excellent!"

"Just now, what skill did that rookie use?"

"So who won the clash just now? Why is there so much smoke and dust? Hurriedly disappear!"

"By the way, does anyone know that new disciple?"

Ah!

The chatter sounded immediately as the first stance clashed. The questions that arose the most were who won the clash just now and who Guang-Hong's opponent was: "What's his name?" or "What's his energy level?"

Zing!!!

Ah!!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A few moments later, the large amount of dust covering the arena's vision disappeared. The cries and footsteps of someone who seemed to be injured sounded.

"What's that!? Guang-Hong lost?"

"This is crazy! How is it possible? Guang-Hong is the thirteenth-ranked disciple!"

"Other than the people ranked above him, no outer disciple could beat him. So who is this new disciple?"

"From the list, that guy's name is Zheng-Fu!"

"Zheng-Fu!!? Why am I so familiar with this name? Like I've heard it somewhere before. But I can't remember where!"

"Me too. This name is very familiar. But why haven't I figured out where I heard it from?!"

Finally, the result of Zheng-Fu and Guang-Hong's clash was visible. The one who shouted and stepped back was Guang-Hong.

"Im... im... impossible! Absolutely impossible! Who are you exactly? You aren't ranked, aren't even on the top disciple list. Then, why are you so strong!?" Guang-Hong exclaimed loudly in disbelief that he had lost to someone who was not on the outer disciples' top list.

"I am me! As for the fact that I don't have a name on the board, it's because I'm a new disciple. But this time, my name will have already appeared on it. And you are the first step for me to rise to the top!" Zheng-Fu replied to the young man, indifferent to his feelings, because he hated someone who looked down on others from the first time they met. And Guang-Hong had treated him like that.

"You! Don't you think that you'll be the winner just by winning the first stance! That's just my eight parts of energy. If I'm serious, you won't survive!" Guang-Hong still did not give up and claimed that he had not used the full ten parts of his energy yet. But in fact, he had already used up all his energy from the beginning.

Huh!!!

"Eight parts of energy, is that so? If you say so, I'd like to say that I only use five parts of my energy, and I haven't used my full energy either. But I think that even if you use ten parts of your energy, five parts of my energy will still defeat you!" Zheng-Fu knew that the young man had used up his energy to the fullest, but he did not want to argue a lot with Guang-Hong. He, therefore, provoked the young man to make him angry and continue his skill. Then he could end this maneuver.

Damn!!!

"If you want to suffer that much, you'll get it! Prepare yourself for your destiny!"

[Heaven Commanded Beneath the Sky Saber Stance Skill]

Whoooooosh!!!! Whoooooosh!!!! Whoooooosh!!!! Whoooooosh!!!!

The stance Guang-Hong used this time was still the same Heaven Commanded Beneath the Sky Saber Stance Skill. However, he had increased energy and modified the new usage pattern. This raised the original ten Qi sabers to twenty.

Hmm!

"Increase the number of Qi sabers? It's not a bad idea at all, but it's still amateur!"

[Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill]

Roooaaar!!!

Zheng-Fu used his Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill again as well. But this time, he added another part of the energy to make it six parts. Just this one part was ten times more effective than the sabers that Guang-Hong had added to his stance.

Ah!

"What the hell is this intense energy? This kind of energy is comparable to an inner disciple!"

"How could that new disciple have this level of energy? Or is he an inner disciple in disguise?"

"Are you crazy? The academy's rules also say that academy disciples are forbidden to fight across sections. Especially, disciples at higher sections could never fight the lower sections!"

"That's right! But who can explain this matter to me?"

The Qi dragon that Zheng-Fu created caused the surrounding outer disciples to be completely amazed. Even the other disciples from beside the arena had to turn to look at Zheng-Fu and Guang-Hong's battle since the energy that Zheng-Fu emitted was both intense and fierce.

Boooooooom!!!

Augh!!!

"Im... im... impossible!!"

Thud!

Finally, the result of the battle appeared. The winner was Zheng-Fu. As for Guang-Hong, after being hit by Zheng-Fu's Moonlight Dragon Sword Skill, he was exhausted and unable to fight any longer. Losing to Zheng-Fu this time had drained the reputation he had accumulated for a long time. And Zheng-Fu's reputation rose with the new rank that he had attained to replace Guang-Hong.

"The winner is Disciple Zheng-Fu!"

Huh!!?

"Guang-Hong lost! How is that possible?"

"Thirteenth rank lost to someone without a rank? This is such a big deal!"

"Guang-Hong's defeat this time means that his thirteenth rank belongs to the disciple named Zheng-Fu, right?"

"That's true! Then, the rank on the list must change!"

The chatter rang out continuously as the referee announced the winner's result. Everyone did not expect that the thirteenth-ranked Guang-Hong would lose in the first match like this.

At the maneuver arena number seven…

"What!!? Thirteenth-ranked Guang-Hong lost?" a tall young man exclaimed in disbelief at what he heard. This young man was also on the top outer disciple list and was one rank lower than Guang-Hong.

"Yes, it's true, Senior! My comrade just sent me the news!"

"Oh! What a shocking thing. Never thought that Guang-Hong would lose so easily. But who was the person who defeated him?" The young man felt surprised, but he did not bother. It was good for him that Guang-Hong was eliminated first, although he did not know who was the one who defeated Guang-Hong.

"I heard that his name is Zheng-Fu. As for his energy level, no one could have guessed. But everyone at maneuver arena number ten said that his strength was comparable to that of the top five outer disciples!"

"Top five!!?"

At this word, this big young man's face changed color. Because the top five on the outer disciple list were truly strong. He definitely would not be able to defeat those people.

The moment the big young man was speaking to his underling, Jiang-Long was also standing there and clearly heard what the two of them were saying.

"There! Are you a monster!? You can easily defeat even a person at the thirteenth rank. Sigh! You definitely became the center of attention this time!" Jiang-Long was no less amazed by what Zheng-Fu had done. But when he thought of the many things Zheng-Fu had done before, he lost his surprise and continued to turn his attention to his maneuver.

After Zheng-Fu's first-round maneuver ended, the maneuvers in other arenas were also completed. Then the second pair, the third pair, the fourth pair, and so on would continue to maneuver to find the finalists. And finally, it came to Zheng-Fu's round again.

"Next match, Zheng-Fu versus Gim-Dong. May the two disciples come up on the maneuver arena!"

When the name was announced, both Zheng-Fu and Gim-Dong jumped onto the maneuver arena. Zheng-Fu's opponent this time was only the ninth level of the Heavenly Root stage cultivator. He was much weaker than Guang-Hong. Therefore, the result was determined since the maneuver had not yet started.

"I don't know where you've been, that's why I don't know you. But when you come to face me, I, Gim-Dong, will be the one to deal with you and take your thirteenth place!" Gim-Dong said with a very arrogant and self-assured expression. The young man thought that Zheng-Fu could defeat Guang-Hong because of luck. So, he expected that he would easily take down Zheng-Fu and snatch the thirteenth rank for himself.

"If you want my rank, I'll give it to you. But that depends on your own ability whether you can take it from me!" Zheng-Fu did not want to argue verbally with this young man, so he provoked the young man to attack him first.

Tch!

"How arrogant! All right! If you want it like that, I'll arrange it for you."

[Iron Serpent Saber Stance Skill]

Fizz! Fizz! Fizz!!!

As Gim-Dong used his skill, a fizzing sound suddenly appeared around his saber before a shadowy figure of a large iron snake appeared, raising its neck to intimidate the enemy. Although the Iron Serpent Saber Stance Skill used by the young man was only a medium-level Legendary Skill, its power was as strong as a high-level Legendary Skill.

"Hmm! It's a great skill! But your usage still has many flaws. If I'm not mistaken, every time you use this stance skill, you hurt your arm holding the saber, right? And because of this, its power seems like it hasn't been fully released yet!"

"How did you know? Or are you practicing the Iron Serpent Saber Stance Skill as well?" Gim-Dong was shocked and immediately frowned upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words. He thought that Zheng-Fu also practiced the Iron Serpent Saber Stance Skill like himself. Otherwise, how could Zheng-Fu know about this abnormality? And, of course, all disciples could borrow this saber stance skill from the Treatise Tower Manor to practice if they had enough mission scores to redeem it.

"I'm sorry. But I've never practiced this Iron Serpent Saber Stance Skill before. I only knew because I was just guessing. Since I saw your distorted facial expression and unusual movements, I thought it might be so!"

"Just guessing? You were just guessing!?!"
