Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 57



Chapter 57 Handsome Youth & King of Popularity

Next, the competition continued.

The third round was definitely something that was unbearable to recall for disciples in the Southern Academy of purple shirts.

Lyu Kuang, who was very likely to make it into the top five, got knocked out because he was defeated by Liang Feixue. Their only hope, Wang Xiaoshi, who was known for his endurance and unconventional gambit, had the strength that could not be underestimated. However, he was out of luck merely because he encountered Li Muyun, the number one in the Honorable Alliance of Seven.

Li Muyun, the man in all his glory, beat Wang Xiaoshi down from the arena with a single move.

The participants in the Southern Academy of purple shirts were completely eliminated right after the Western Academy of red shirts.

Participants in the Central Academy of white shirts, however, still held strong momentum and did not let their supporters down.

In the following fourth round, a handsome youth named Lin Xin from the Northern Academy of yellow shirts was going to fight against a martial mania named Chen Sheng, who ranked third in the Honorable Alliance of Seven.

Their competition successfully attracted the attention of numerous female disciples on the waiting list.

That was because the handsome youth Lin Xin was simply too lethal for women. In addition to female disciples from the Northern Academy of yellow shirts, there were many female disciples from the other four academies to cheer for the handsome youth!

Li Yiruo, a hot nymph from Xiyang Town, appeared among the crowd.

Her incomparably delicate and charming appearance was as dazzling as the sun.

Wherever she went, she would be the center of attention.

Her appearance attracted the attention of a lot of young disciples.

A number of pretentious young disciples went up to her and accosted her from time to time, but they were rebuffed without exception.

This proud hot girl, together with her cousin Li Canyang, Xiao Chengxuan, and Cao Yan, were divided into the Western Academy of red shirts. Moreover, Li Canyang even ascended to be a member of the top ten seeded fighters of the Western Academy of red shirts. Unfortunately, he was eliminated in the first round.

The dismal performance of the Western Academy of red shirts disappointed these teenagers. But given that the third-round knockout was a duel between the toughest disciples on the waiting list and had referential significance, they came together to watch the battle finally.

There was originally a slight conflict between Li Canyang and Xiao Chengxuan. But after entering the Western Academy of red shirts, they seemed to have converted enemies into friends and got together!

In no time, the martial arts contest finally started on the arena.

This contest lasted more than two hours and was the longest one among other contests that had been held in the third round.

Finally, it ended up with the handsome youth Lin Xin defeating the martial mania Chen Sheng unexpectedly.

Chen Sheng’s fighting style was simple, crude, and wild. He was accustomed to crushing his opponents’ confidence with his imposing force. While the handsome youth Lin Xin was skilled at schemes, his tactics flexible and endurance amazing. He had an unmatched talent for capturing opportunities for combat and mastering the tempo. The two of them fought each other for more than two hours, and finally, it ended up with Lin Xin exhausting Chen Sheng with his amazing endurance!

“No, it’s not interesting at all. You’re like a piece of sticky candy that is difficult for me to get rid of. I’m not satisfied with this contest. It’s just so boring!”

Chen Sheng grumbled with a long face.

He was simple-minded, pure, and kind of like a silly lad. However, he was very talented in terms of martial arts.

Lin Xin just smiled gracefully, without making any explanation.

His otherworldly look once again made the female disciples in the audience scream wildly. They were shouting his name out loudly.

Lin Xin was arguably the public enemy of all other male disciples!

After that, there was a duel between the brothers in the Honorable Alliance of Seven. At last, Feng Xingjun, who ranked five, defeated He Feiyu, who ranked seven.

Obviously, disciples in the Central Academy of white shirts were extremely discontented with this match but they could do nothing. After all, the Honorable Alliance of Seven was so powerful that seven of its members made it into the top 13 and it was impossible to avoid internal elimination.

After five rounds, it finally was dark horse Ding Hao’s turn.

It was now the most favorable and coolest time of the afternoon.

The hubbub of excited conversation could be heard everywhere. The area within a kilometer around the number one arena was surrounded by a dense crowd. Everyone was waiting to watch the last match.

Organized and led by Wang Xiaoqi and Zhang Fan, disciples from the Eastern Academy of green shirts shouted Ding Hao’s name out wildly. They shouted their support for him frantically, and it was obviously an astoundingly noisy and busy scene.

To many male disciples’ surprise, Ding Hao was unexpectedly popular among female disciples. His popularity was almost equal to the handsome youth Lin Xin from the Northern Academy of yellow shirts.

“Come on! Senior brother Ding!”

“Senior brother Ding, I love you!”

“Senior brother Ding, you’re amazingly handsome!”

Female disciples from the Eastern Academy of green shirts made no secret of their affections for Ding Hao. All of them screamed to warm up the atmosphere, laughing and joking.

Because of the uproar caused by the female disciples, many male disciples then noticed that Ding Hao’s build was actually not inferior to that of Lin Xin, who was from the Northern Academy of yellow shirts!

Especially Ding Hao’s extremely healthy ivory skin, the handsome but not enchanting face, the unhurried demeanor that was always like floating clouds and flowing water, and the physical strength he had displayed yesterday in the battle with Dong Yi as well as the streamlined and perfect abdominal muscles.

All these undoubtedly had a fatal attraction to women!

Below the arena.

Ding Hao walked slowly up the arena and with a simple wave of his hand, he successfully aroused shouts of joy from numerous disciples of the Eastern Academy of green shirts and female disciples from other academies under the arena. Seeing this scene, Li Yiruo, Li Canyang, and Xiao Chengxuan, who were standing among the crowd, had extremely complex emotions in their hearts, as if they had overturned the cruet.

“So this bastard is handsome, too. I never expected him to be able to get this far. He is indeed awesome.” Li Yiruo, who was as proud as a cygnet, thought enviously.

Not knowing why, Li Yiruo suddenly realized that when she saw Ding Hao’s charming smile, her heart knocked unexpectedly fast!

“He was merely a youth beside the Sword-cleansing Pond who was in dire straits back then. Now, however, I can never hold a candle to him. Is this what we call fate?”

Watching Ding Hao standing on the arena, there was a strong sense of reluctance in Li Canyang’s heart. “One day, I, Li Canyang, will also stand on the high arena and let others shout their support and scream for me.”

“I didn’t evaluate him wrongly. Ding Hao is indeed out of the common. Not long after entering the sect, he had stood out as a conspicuously brilliant person. I wonder how far he can go in this competition. Can he stand side by side with talents such as Li Muyun, Li Lan, and Liang Feixue?”

Xiao Chengxuan lifted his sharp eyebrows and thought secretly.

At this moment, except for the male disciples in the Central Academy of white shirts, almost everyone was cheering for Ding Hao. Ding Hao himself didn’t even realize that he was unexpectedly popular among his peers. The disciples on the waiting list around the arena were almost overwhelmingly cheering for him!

Ding Hao was merely a nobody before the big competition among the five academies was held, but like a dark horse, he made it into the top 13 unexpectedly. He did not know that it was because his deed was undoubtedly in line with the mentality of most ordinary disciples on the waiting list to expect miracles that many disciples shared his feelings and emotions as if they were their own and considered him the representative of ordinary disciples!

Therefore, without him noticing, there was a faint possibility of him becoming the king of popularity among the five academies this time.

At the same time, no one noticed that at the periphery of the arena, a pair of beautiful eyes were quietly staring at Ding Hao. Just like the stars in the night sky, the beautiful eyes contained light of surprise and complexity!
