Chapter 665: Chapter 325: Are These Two Freaks?
Two days later.
The summit of Xiyue Peak.
All disciples under forty years old and above the Golden Core Realm from Zhenyang Sect gathered.
Around them, countless disciples without the qualifications to participate were spectators.
Deputy Sect Leader Tantai Mingyue stood on the high platform, announcing the start of the sect competition.
The names of nearly a thousand disciples appeared in a gigantic array. After a swift rotation, the pairings for the first round of magical combat were revealed within the array.
The summit of Xiyue Peak was also divided into dozens of dueling arenas, where the disciples entered for their duels.
After five months of diligent cultivation, many disciples had significantly improved their cultivation.
In the first round of magical combat, there were many instances of inner sect disciples defeating steward disciples, overcoming the odds.
For example, inner sect disciples Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, who were originally only at the early Golden Core Realm, advanced three layers in just a few months, reaching the seventh Golden Core layer.
Moreover, their combat abilities even far exceeded their cultivation level, as they easily defeated their senior brothers at the eighth Golden Core layer in the first round.
However, the most surprising was still He Su, the inner sect disciple of Xiyue Peak.
In her first round, she faced Zhao Zhen, a genius disciple from Forgetful Peak, talented in both puppetry and arrays.
Speaking of it, He Su had met Zhao Zhen during the outer sect competition, where He Su was beaten badly by Zhao Zhen’s array puppet and had surrendered after half an incense time.
Now Zhao Zhen had already advanced to the peak of the Golden Core Realm, rising six small realms in less than a year, a speed of cultivation that is explosive even in the entire Eastern Cultivation.
Moreover, Zhao Zhen’s array puppet had also evolved, reportedly capable of single-handedly challenging a peak Golden Core cultivator.
The integration of human and puppet, its combat power could even challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator beyond its level.
This time, when He Su faced Zhao Zhen again, almost no one was optimistic about her.
Many disciples watching the spectacle even set up betting tables, yet, no one bet on He Su, who had odds as high as one to twenty.
Zhao Zhen was also full of confidence, controlling his puppet to attack He Su aggressively the moment the duel started, wanting to settle it quickly to prepare for the next round.
However, no matter how Zhao Zhen’s array puppet went on the rampage, it couldn’t even touch a corner of He Su’s clothes.
As the fight continued, the puppet itself fell apart.
Zhao Zhen, furious, used his trump card, simultaneously controlling more than ten puppets and personally joining the assault on He Su.
But even until Zhao Zhen was kicked off Xiyue Peak by He Su, he and those over ten puppets couldn’t touch He Su.
Zhao Zhen, desperate from his loss, climbed back up Xiyue Peak, begging He Su to at least let him touch her, or else his Tao Heart couldn’t take it.
He was kicked down from the mountain top by He Su again.
This battle made He Su’s name famous, for her graceful and nimble movements, some enthusiasts even gave her a title—Lingbo Fairy.
"Hahaha, Young Master and Lady, look, just now another junior brother sent me a love letter!"
Liu Su, full of joy, ran over carrying a pile of love letters, showing off to Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe.
Now, Lingbo Fairy was at the height of her fame, already becoming the dream lover of many male disciples.
Liu Su, feeling the taste of being admired, began to feel a little elated.
"Which one should I choose, Lady?"
"Senior Brother Li talks sweetly, Junior Brother Liu has a nice figure, Senior Brother Zhang is rounded, Junior Brother Chen is handsome, wow, I can’t make up my mind!"
At this moment, it was Qiu Zhihe’s turn, as she gracefully descended into the arena, the crowd around erupted in astonished cries. Her opponent turned out to be the Peak Master of Heaven-Reaching Peak, Chen Yunfeng!
"Junior Sister Ruo is really unlucky, encountering Senior Brother Chen in the first round!"
"Senior Brother Chen is already at the third Nascent Soul layer, how could she win?"
"What a pity, I thought Junior Sister Ruo could go to the Immortal Ascension Ceremony!"
Chen Yunfeng, tall and handsome, drew countless screams from the female disciples, but at this moment his expression was extremely serious.
He too was among the trip to the South Demon, from the Joyful Union Sect and Celestial Phoenix Mountain to Cyan Lotus Mountain, although this Junior Sister Ruo never made a move, yet he could sense a faint and terrifying aura from Ruo Mei.
Now facing Ruo Mei, he dared not be careless in the slightest, exerting his full strength from the start.
The powerful spiritual power of the third Nascent Soul layer erupted, and the cultivation technique inherited from his master Wei Shouyuan was also fully deployed, his Immortal Sword transformed into a massive Sword Qi, slashing towards Ruo Mei with a rumble.
The next moment, yet Ruo Mei’s body also burst forth with the spiritual power pressure of the third Nascent Soul layer, holding a simple upper-grade magic sword in her delicate hand.
With one slash, the Sword Qi dissipated.
Chen Yunfeng’s face turned pale, amid a deathly silence in the entire field, he stuttered:
"I admit defeat."
The place was in an uproar, no one expected that with just one move, Senior Brother Chen, the Peak Master of Heaven-Reaching Peak, would be defeated.
For a moment, countless gazes directed at Ruo Mei were filled with awe.
"Junior Sister Tantai, this Ruo Mei... is probably no longer Ruo Mei."
On the high platform, Leng Jing frowned and whispered to Tantai Mingyue.
Tantai Mingyue’s expression remained calm, neither affirming nor denying, causing Leng Jing to be taken aback: "Junior Sister Tantai, did you already know?"
Tantai Mingyue said, "Senior Brother Leng, the Zhenyang Sect is currently facing a crisis. As long as she can turn the tide for Zhenyang Sect at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, it doesn’t matter who she is."
"Junior Sister, you..."
Leng Jing stared at her blankly, as if recognizing Tantai Mingyue for the first time.
Tantai Mingyue’s eyes drooped, calmly watching the field, betraying no thoughts in mind.
The shock brought by Ruo Mei had not yet subsided when her husband He Zhiqiu descended into the arena.
And He Zhiqiu’s opponent was similarly a heavyweight: Zhang Zheng, the Peak Master of Divinity Transformation Peak.
"Junior Brother He, during the trip to the South Demon, I foresaw that you would achieve greatness, and today I hope you fight with all your might for a thrilling battle!"
Zhang Zheng followed the path of body cultivation and sword cultivation, capable of sword control attacks, and his body was tougher than an average cultivator.
However, in the South Demon, when Su Xin was captured by the Celestial Fall Sect, this Peak Master of Divinity Transformation Peak chose to retreat, while Qin Gengyun and others resolutely ventured into the South Demon to rescue Su Xin.
At this moment, seeing Zhang Zheng still putting up a magnanimous facade, Qin Gengyun said indifferently:
"Senior Brother Zhang, our paths diverge, it will be hard to enjoy a satisfying fight."
Zhang Zheng picked up on the underlying meaning in his words, instinctively glancing at Su Xin, who was watching not far away, and became furious with shame:
"If that’s the case, don’t blame me for not showing mercy, Junior Brother!"
Saying this, his body suddenly expanded several times, manifesting protruding hard muscles, wielding an Immortal Sword in hand, his figure flashed, appearing in front of Qin Gengyun, and in an instant the sword edge slashed down.
Qin Gengyun’s eyes flashed with a pale light, Zhang Zheng’s figure momentarily froze, and Qin Gengyun leisurely raised his fist, striking fiercely at Zhang Zheng’s abdomen, almost causing Zhang Zheng’s eyes to pop out.
Then, Qin Gengyun’s fists rained down on Zhang Zheng’s body.
However, Zhang Zheng seemed to have been immobilized, turning into a punching bag for Qin Gengyun, allowing him to beat him at will.
Very soon, the battle ended with the Peak Master of Divinity Transformation Peak Zhang Zheng fainted from being beaten by He Zhiqiu.
Qin Gengyun returned beside Qiu Zhihe with ease, both of them appeared calm, as if defeating two peak masters was a trivial matter.
For a moment, the looks directed at the two were full of fear.
"Are these two a couple of freaks?"
