Chapter 74 - Against the Four Major Sects

Jean: ...What? ...Nevermind, wjy you can't answer me?

Xia Qingyue: Because what Qingyue thought that time, is already now forgotten. Perhaps, it is because the fate of us as husband and wife had yet to be finished.

And it was then, that Jean's all three souls inside him, that were fused together to make the current Jean, held a single thought… "Maybe I should destroy Frozen Cloud Asgard…"

Jean: *Sigh* Thank you for finding me the Seven Profound Gem Grass, Earth Profound Beast's profound core, and Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal.

I know that even if it's Frozen Cloud Asgard, to find all three of these within one and half years would not be that easy. Moreover, you were only a newly entered disciple.

Xia Qingyue: No need for thanks. Compared to your favor of opening all of my profound entrances, these, can't be considered much.

Jean: Pfft, cut the bullshit, I expended only a few drops of sweat, while god knows what you did to find these items… But I have a single question, and I want you to answer truthfully…

Xia Qingyue: Please ask.

Xia Qingyue: Very well. The Asgard Mistress, Master, Senior Masters, Junior Masters, as well as all the Junior and Senior Sisters all treated me very well.

Jean: 'Consider all of you saved…'

He retracted back the idea of taking down the Frozen Cloud Asgard, if Xia Qingyue was happy, as much as she didn't show it, then everything was ok, it was her life, not his, even if that sect was truly evil… Turning such fairies in ice queens…

Jean: Alright, I don't want to know if you thought about me during the entire time, it is more certain that you thought only about cultivating, but that's alright… Then, see you la-

Xia Qingyue: Please wait a moment, Sir Dennell.

Jean stopped, he almost turned back to the Version 3, which would make Xia Qingyue temporarily forget about him.

Jean: Yes?

Xia Qingyue: How did you get so strong…?

Jean: ...I am different from you… But I advise you to go all out against me, even if you are my wife, I won't gift you victory.

[W: "Wind"]

Jean won all of his fights, and reached the top 32 together with Fen Juechen, who miraculously reached that place too

The final event of Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, the Round of 32, had finally begun!

An enormous profound stone was temporarily erected in the center of the Main Sword Discourse Arena, and the names of the 32 people who had entered the Round of 32, as well as the sect they belonged to were displayed on top. Amongst these 32 names, the 12 disciples from the Four Major Sects were all present without any exceptions.

Qin Wushang: I had never thought even in my dreams, that there would be a day our Blue Wind Imperial Family's name would actually appear on it.

Ling Wugou: Participating disciples of the Round of Thirty Two, please come to the stage and draw the lot for battle order!

The 32 people came up one by one and drew their own battle number.

Cang Yue: Junior Brother Jean, what number… Ah? It's actually… Number one!

Fen Juechen: Oh! Congratulations, Junior Brother Jean, you are actually the first one to fight!

Jean: Heh, be careful with Fen Juebi, not me.

Qin Wushang: Jean, it is already very very impressive of you to be able to enter the Round of Thirty Two. And I am extremely confident you can take the 1st place too, however, during this time, some people may have taken precautions against you, so you need to be careful.

Jean: Yeah, Palace Chief Qin doesn't need to worry, I actually didn't use even the 10% of my capabilities in the entire time, and my 100% is pretty frightening even for me.

After all 32 remaining people selected their numbers, their battle order appeared on the Profound Stone. Once the order was released, it instantly caused a large debate amongst the audience.

Fen Juechen: So Junior Brother Jean's first opponent is Xiao Nan.

Jean still remembered what the Xiao Sect did to him, and he isn't really pleased with having to fight one…

On stage, Xiao Nan had already taken out his weapon. it was a jade sword that gave off a cool glow. The jade sword was called Wind Spirit Sword and it was a Earth Profound Weapon. With sword in hand, he signalled towards Jean.

Xiao Nan: Xiao Sect Sword Sect's disciple Xiao Nan, please guide me, senior!

Jean: ...What?

He murmured that, he didn't expected that Xiao Nan would give off such good vibes, and he had the memories of the man who killed around 7'7 million of people in a single day and survived until the day he fell from the Cloud's End Cliff…

Jean: ...Whatever, Elder Ling, just start things immediately.

Ling Wugou: Round of the 32, 1st Match, begin!

Jean crossed his arms and waited for Xiao Nan, his opinion about him was raised a bit, but it didn't helped with what he thought about the Xiao Sect, he isn't going to leave alone the bad field just for 1 or 2 good crops.

On the Sword Discourse Arena, after Ling Wugou finished speaking, a fierce storm was released from Xiao Nan and the Wind Spirit Sword's bodies. The storm surrounded his body and revolved around him. Although the storm was not strong, it was extremely sharp.

However, Jean just had that dumb apathetic look on his face…

Xiao Nan: Receive my attack… Extreme Wind Slash!!

The sword in Xiao Nan's hands pointed forward, and instantly, all the storm that had been surrounding him turned into the silhouette of several swords, causing wind, so sharp that it even frightened the audience, to blow towards Jean.

Jean: Huh, it's that attack…

Jean just stood there and let the attack pass beside him thanks to Wind. Then he walked towards Xiao Nan, creaking his knuckles.

That scene scared a bit Xiao Nan, who backed a bit away and attacked Jean from distance, however, every attack of his just passed at his sides. Soon, Xiao Nan sighed and smiled bitterly.

Xiao Nan: I give up.

Jean was just some steps away from him, and his fist was inches away from Xiao Nan's head, the force of the punch didn't hurt Xiao Nan in the slightest, however the same couldn't be said of the ground under him, which formed a big crater.

Jean retracted his fist and walked away from the arena, he was a bit annoyed that he couldn't hit someone from the Xiao Sect right now, but after the tournament, he would definitely destroy and loot the entire sect without pity.
