Chapter 38

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Early in the morning.

Su Xing knocked on Su Yan’er’s door.

“Senior Brother, What’s wrong?”

Seeing that the sun had just risen, Su Yan’er was a little surprised that her Senior Brother went to meet her at this time.

“There’s something that Senior Brother wants to trouble Junior Sister Yan’er with,” Su Xing said somewhat embarrassedly.

“Senior Brother, are you talking about today’s sword sect disciple competition?”

Su Yan ‘er asked.

Su Xing nodded.

“Right now, Junior Sister Qing’er’s strength is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment’s Realm First Stage. I’m afraid that because the difference in strength is too great, Junior Sister Qing’er won’t be able to help with the bet between Master and Sect Master.”

“Senior Brother, you want me to participate in the Sword Sect’s disciple competition today, right?”

Su Yan’er smiled and said, “Senior Brother, although Junior Sister Qing’er is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm’s First Stage, even the Golden Elixir Realm Disciples in the sect won’t be her match in actual combat.”

“Moreover, didn’t Senior Brother also say that back then?”

“Junior Sister Qing’er walks on a different path from us. It’s the powerful Emperor Path.”

“I think it will be very easy for Junior Sister Qing’er to get into the top ten in the sect’s disciple competition with her Initial Realm Sword Intent and the Mysterious Iron she got from the Sword Tower last time.”

Su Xing could not help but laugh bitterly.

“I know what you mean, but the problem is that I will be hosting the disciple competition in master’s place later. Thus, I won’t be able to participate in the competition.”

“I’m just worried. Of course, I have a lot of faith in Junior Sister Qing’er’s strength. However, what if she fails? Then the only one representing our sunset peak will lose.”

“At that time, when Sunset Peak is merged with Thunder Peak, and Master will probably eat me up.”

Su Xing said with a defeated face.

Seeing her Senior Brother’s defeated look, Su Yan’er could not help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.

“Don’t worry, Junior Sister has great luck.”

“It’s just a small Sword Sect disciple competition. I think it’s possible for Junior Sister to get into the top three.”

After Su Yan’er said that, a loud bell rang in the distance.

Disciple competition.

It had finally officially begun.

Su Xing was stunned and quickly ran down the mountain.

…

Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect.

On the Nine Peaks Square.

At this moment, the place was already bustling with people.

In the middle of the arena, a huge stone platform with a radius of 500 meters had risen.

In the distance, Zhuang Changhe had already arrived on the high platform with a group of Peak Masters and elders.

There was not much nonsense in the disciple grand competition. As long as one’s strength had reached the Qi Refinement Realm’s Eighth Stage or above, they could register for the disciple grand competition and fight for their sect.

In the end, ten people would be able to obtain victory. The cultivation resources of the mountain for the following year would also be allocated according to their ranking and the number of disciples on their respective peaks.

It could be said that all the Peak Masters had a high regard for this annual disciple competition.

Of course, other than the Peak Master of Sunset Peak, the beautiful master of Su Xing and the others, Bai Xueling.

As long as one was able to obtain the crown, one would be able to obtain 30% of the resources of the Sword Sect!

One had to know that talented people would still be more powerful than ordinary people even if they lacked resources.

Even if the strength of the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect could not be ranked among the top few in the Eastern Wastelands, it still possessed many years of foundation. Just an additional 30% of the cultivation resources poured out every year would be able to cause the mountain peak to nurture several experts who would at least in the Nascent Soul Realm.

After all, how could a mountain peak that was able to obtain the crown be weak in talent?

Under such an excellent competitive environment, the strength of the nine peaks of the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect was also continuously increasing.

The disciple competition began.

Zhuang Changhe merely said a few words casually before he began the drawing of lots for the disciples.

At this moment, all the resting places in the nine peaks were filled with powerful disciples, and the atmosphere was very hot.

Except for the Sunset Peak.

Zhuang Changhe distributed a resting place over 300 square meters to all the peaks on one side of the Nine Peaks Square Fairly.

In the other sects, there were at least tens to hundreds of disciples participating in the battle.

On the other side of Sunset Peak, only Mo Yuanqing was sitting there alone.

It was a stark contrast to the bustling scene around her.

“Look, the Sunset Peak is so independent! Hahaha!”

“Are you stupid? Junior sister Mo Yuanqing is representing Sunset Peak! In other words, her strength is above yours even though she’s only a teenager!”

“No way! I heard that Junior Sister Yuanqing has only been in the sect for a month and she’s already at the Qi Refinement Realm’s Eighth Stage? I’m so jealous!”

“You’re jealous? I’m jealous too! Junior Sister Yuanqing is a natural beauty. No matter how much makeup I put on, it’s not even one-thousandth of her.”

“Damn it… I remember that there are only three disciples on the Sunset Peak, eldest Senior Brother Su Xing, second Senior Sister Su Yan’er, and Junior Sister Mo Yuanqing! All of them are too good looking”

“Is the peak master of Sunset Peak planning to set up an idol group?”

At this moment, most of the surrounding disciples were disciples who had joined the sect together with Su Yan’er’s group.

However, their talent was generally lower. They were all outer disciples or odd-job disciples.

On the high platform, Zhuang Changhe was also very surprised when he saw the lonely figure on Sunset Peak.

Mo Yuanqing?

What was going on?

‘Why wasn’t Su Yan’er, who was the most talented and powerful, the one representing the Sunset Peak?’

‘Wasn’t Martial Nieve Yuanqing unable to cultivate because of the Gu Witchcraft?

Being able to appear in the disciple competition meant that Mo Yuanqing had passed all sorts of tests and was already confirmed to have at least reached the Qi Refinement Realm’s Eighth Stage.

Moreover, around Mo Yuanqing, there was a faintly discernible ancient, simple intent.

That kind of feeling was extremely familiar to Zhuang Changhe, but he was unable to say it at the moment.

Subconsciously, Zhuang Changhe looked at Su Xing beside him, who had replaced Bai Xueling.

“What’s wrong, Sect Master?”

Seeing Zhuang Changhe’s gaze looking at him, Su Xing could not help but laugh.

“Where is Junior Niece Yan’er?” Zhuang Changhe asked.

“Replying sect master, Junior Martial Sister Yan’er has been comprehending quite deeply recently. I saw that the Spiritual Qi in her body was constantly fluctuating. I’m afraid that she has already found the opportunity to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. In order to break through, she didn’t participate in the sect disciple competition.”

Zhuang Changhe frowned.

‘It was just the Qi Refinement Realm and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. What are you talking about comprehending and finding the opportunity?’

‘Are you for real?’

Moreover, based on Su Yan’er’s situation at the disciple acceptance ceremony back then, she should not be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm by now no matter what!

After all, it had only been a few months since the disciple acceptance ceremony.

However, Zhuang Changhe no longer cared about these things at this moment. He just looked into the distance not far away.

The first match had already begun!

On the arena, a muscular shirtless man, who was about twenty years old, was emitting powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations from his entire body.

“It’s Senior Brother Ye Youji from the Thunder Peak!”

“Senior Brother Ye, we love you!”

“Did you know that Senior Brother Ye is the top disciple of the Thunder Peak? He has long reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm and could reach the Golden Elixir Realm at any time!”

“Your news is outdated!”

“I heard that Senior Brother Ye has probably condensed a Sword Intent!”

“What?! If that’s the case, I’m afraid that the number one position this year will definitely be the Thunder Peak!”

Everyone felt extremely regretful as they looked toward the other peaks’ areas.

They did not know which unlucky person was going to meet the extremely powerful Ye Youji right from the start?

Mo Yuanqing’s beautiful figure slowly walked towards the stage.

What Mo Yuanqing got from the draw was to participate in the first round.
