Chapter 1045: Top Ten Disciples

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a three-hour duel, ten challengers emerged from amongst the sixty-five disciples. The eliminated disciples’ faces were full of disappointment, but they accepted their defeat.

It was impossible for a person to cheat on his strength. Since their strength was not as good as that of others, one must be convinced and admit defeat. What was the point of complaining about results?

Among the ten challengers, Lu Changman came out on top.

Mo Youyou, who had already been defeated early on, pursed her lips and her eyes were red. She looked like she was going to cry. There were also several other little girls who had tears in their eyes and were about to cry.

However, no one comforted them.

Having confidence, fighting spirit, and the will to never give up did not mean one would have the actual strength to acquire the desired results; ambition and perseverance alone could not change the fact that one’s strength was weaker than others’!

The Sect Leader had strictly ordered that the bitter pill of losers must be swallowed by themselves, and no one was allowed to comfort them.

After an hour’s rest, the challenge of the top ten disciples officially began. The disciples on the stage were fighting fiercely, while the audience was overwhelmed and exclaimed from time to time. One senior brother or sister after another came to the stage to fight, and then the winner stayed while the loser left. Every battle was extremely intense and exciting.

Every senior brother or sister was like an eagle cleaving the sky and dragon gliding in the limpid deep. Their every move and style showed extraordinary power, dazzling the eyes of all the little guys sitting in the audience and giving birth to an idea in their hearts: ‘I will be like them in the future!’

Senior Brother Sun was gentle and elegant like a scholar; Senior Brother Bai was handsome and full of righteousness; Senior Sister Yun was mighty in spirit, heroic, and beautiful. Senior Brother Hu was quick-witted and with an unpredictable strength; Senior Sister Lin looked very weak, but became very fierce as soon as she fought; Senior Sister Cheng looked gentle and lovely, giving others the feeling of a sister… ‘I like her so much…’

The eyes of all the little guys glowed as they watched the duels. At this moment, something called ‘idols’ was quietly born.

Every disciple who went on stage to fight gained many of their own fans… As a result, from time to time in the near future, people fought each other for this.

“What? You said Senior Brother Bai is better than Senior Brother Sun?”

“What? You said Senior Brother Bai can’t compare with Senior Brother Sun?”

“What? You don’t think Senior Sister Yun is beautiful?”

“Hit him!”

Naturally, these were for later times and a whole another story. What really mattered now was that every disciple on the arena was fighting with an unprecedented intensity!

This competition was far tougher than any previous one!

Sun Mingxiu was challenged by eight disciples, which made his gentle and handsome face turn blue with anger!

‘Yu Chenghang is my old opponent, and it’s no big deal that he punches above his weight and challenges me. Hu Xiaofan’s ranking is just below Yu Chenghang, so I expect him to challenge me. After all, his strength is no longer weaker than Yu Chenghang’s. But the others…Do you think I am an easy target because I was defeated by Bai Yexing and Yun Xiuxin, therefore you can try to bully me?’

‘You are pushing me too far!

‘Since you want to bully me so much, then you will be bullied by me!’

The competition was not decided until the sun went down.

The last battle was still between Bai Yexing and Yun Xiuxin. The two disciples fought fiercely while all the other disciples and children were divided into two groups, shouting and cheering in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

At the critical moment of their battle, Yun Xiuxin suddenly floated into mid-air and held her sword high. In the blink of an eye, the blade burst into a dazzling light, illuminating the whole void. Then, all the light converged into a blinding beam of white light and struck down toward Bai Yexing’s head.

As the white light fell, everyone heard a harsh grinding sound coming through the void. This move was a variation of Yun Yang’s Saber Truth: Destiny Blade.

Yun Yang had been immersed in his saber technique for a long time, and had already entered the state of being extremely familiar and skillful. On that day when Yun Xiuxin pleaded to him and asked for special training, he modified the moves of the saber technique slightly before teaching her. Although he taught her three moves in name, there were only three styles in fact: the Merciless Blade, Merciless Dao, and Saber Laic!

The move Yun Xiuxin was using now was none other than the Merciless Blade.

Although performing the move with a sword made it less magnificent, it was given a touch of strangeness and unpredictability. In any case, its superb subtleties had not weakened at all.

Faced with the sudden appearance of such a famous move, Bai Yexing was immediately thrown into confusion. He lifted his sword horizontally in an attempt to block the attack while quickly stepping back as he tried his best to dodge. He planned to avoid this move first and then fight back. However, Yun Xiuxin did not relax after gaining the upper hand, but immediately attacked with the second move: the Merciless Dao.

A sharp sword light flashed through Bai Yexing’s left shoulder and pierced his robe.

He suddenly stopped in place and paused for a brief moment, then said bitterly, “I have lost.”

He knew very well that Yun Xiuxin had shown great mercy in this move. Otherwise, she could at least pierce his shoulder and seriously injure him on the spot. But, she did not do it. Although he could continue to fight, he was embarrassed to fight again. He was convinced of the defeat and threw in the towel.

The Residence of Nine Supremes’s last competition was finally over, and the ranking of the top ten disciples was renewed.

The chief disciple was Yun Xiuxin, the second disciple was Bai Yexing, and the third was Hu Xiaofan, with Sun Mingxiu at the fourth rank. The ranking thereon was Yu Chenghang, Cheng Jiajia, Lin Xiaorou, Meng Qianshan, Duanmu Feng, and Lu Changman!

The top ten disciples stood side by side on the stage and received cheers from their junior brothers and sisters.

The applause was thunderous while Shi Wuchen and the others looked at each other, speechless.

In the beginning, none of Yun Yang’s disciples made it to the top ten disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes, and Yun Xiuxin, who had the highest cultivation base in Central Peak, was only a Jade Mystic. But now, four among the top ten disciples were Yun Yang’s disciples.

Moreover, two of them made it into the top three.

Not only was the glory of the first place taken away by Central Peak, but Hu Xiaofan also defeated Yu Chenghang, then defeated Sun Mingxiu through a tough battle and entered the top three strongly.

Such a progress was really too great and scary.

After the competition, Yun Yang’s disciples occupied four seats in the top ten disciples. Kong Luoyue’s disciples occupied two seats, while Shi Wuchen’s first disciple, Sun Mingxiu, occupied one, Meanwhile, Luo Dajiang’s disciple occupied one seat too. In addition, Tie Qingcang’s disciple—Meng Qianshan—and Ren Qingkuang’s disciple—Duanmu Feng—each took a place.

Wu Menghuan, Lan Ruojun, and Shi Bujia did not even get a seat. This caused the faces of all three to become as black as the bottom of a pot. Of course, their disciples were full of shame as well.

At that moment, Yun Xiuxin delivered a speech on behalf of the other disciples.

“The Residence of Nine Supremes has always been not only our sect, but also our home! We will go out this time to win the Celestial Luck Banner for our home, so that our home can be beautiful and strong for generations to come!”

“If we don’t succeed, we will never return!”

“If we don’t succeed, we will never return!” The top ten disciples shouted in unison. “For our home, we will fight to the end! We will never change our mind and will never regret!”
