Chapter 19

C19 – Top Ten

Everyone on the stage was stunned.

Shock flashed across their eyes.

Although they had guessed that Ruan Xiude would win this match.

After all, Ruan Xiude had defeated Ruan Huan, who was at the peak of the ninth layer of Body Refining, half a month ago.

However, Qi Yang, who was at the eighth layer of Body Refining, was naturally not a match for Ruan Xiude.

However, they did not expect Qi Yang to lose so quickly.

Ruan Xiude had already defeated Qi Yang before he could even react.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

The difference in strength between the two of them was like that of two completely different levels.

Only then did everyone believe that Ruan Xiude was the number one genius.

Now, they had all witnessed it with their own eyes.

On the arena.

Deng Jibing also did not expect that the battle would end so quickly.

This was the fastest time in the eight battles since the start of the competition.

Immediately after, he announced in a clear voice,

“This match, Ruan Xiude wins. He has obtained one point!”

Immediately, a small commotion broke out on the arena.

Ruan Xiude looked at the attribute panel and saw the increase in energy points. His eyes revealed an indifferent smile as he jumped off the arena and walked towards the spectator stand.

Below the arena, when Qi Yang heard the commotion, he finally came back to his senses.

His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Ruan Xiude.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to exchange a few moves with Ruan Xiude.

However, the result was completely opposite.

Before he could even defend himself, he was knocked off the arena.

The difference between them was too great.

Qi Yang rubbed his sore chest and walked towards the stands.

Although Ruan Xiude had only used one move, Qi Yang was very clear about Ruan Xiude’s strength.

Ruan Xiude should be at least on the same level as Qi Liang.

How could he have the qualifications to contend with Ruan Xiude?

He decided to give up.

The competition continued.

Another round of competition continued.

During this time, Ruan Yueya, Ruan Huan, Qi Liang, Huo Qianhe, Deng Kai, and the others also went up the arena.

Their opponents were all at the eighth layer of the Body Refining Realm.

In order to show that they were not inferior to Ruan Xiude, they also defeated their opponents in one move.

The last round of the first round had ended.

After Deng Jibing finished announcing, he took out a list of names and looked around the room.

“The first round of the competition has ended.”

“The top ten were Ruan Xiude, Deng Kai, Ruan Huan, Huo Qianhe, Qi Liang, Ruan Yueya, and the others.”

Deng Jibing read out the names of the top ten in one go.

As Ruan Xiude was the number one genius of the Dirtwich City, he was ranked first.

There were also Ruan Huan, Ruan Yueya, Qi Liang, Deng Hanyi, Huo Qianhe, and the other disciples who had broken through to the Enlightenment Stage. All of them had entered the top ten.

As for the other four, although they had not broken through to the Enlightenment Stage, they were all at the peak of the ninth layer of the Body Refining.

As for the rest of the people, including Ruan Yingfa, who had broken through to the ninth layer of the Body Refining Stage, they were all eliminated.

After Deng Jibing finished his announcement, he paused for a moment before continuing with a louder voice, “Congratulations to the ten of you for entering the top ten and obtaining the right to go to the Drifting Cloud Sect!”

After he finished speaking, the crowd burst into applause.

Everyone looked at the ten of them with incomparable envy.

The other disciples who had yet to enter the top ten revealed expressions of respect and envy on their faces.

From this moment onwards, the two sides would no longer be in the same world.

They would go to the Drifting Cloud Sect and enter an even wider world.

And they would stay in the mortal world for the rest of their lives, trapped in the Dirtwich.

When they met again, perhaps they should respectfully call them seniors.

However, they could only smile bitterly in envy because their talent was not enough and their strength was not strong enough.

On the eastern viewing platform, Ruan Yingfa, who was seated, heard Deng Jibing announce the result. He looked at Ruan Xiude, who was not far away, with a look of fear in his eyes.

This time, Ruan Xiude had entered the top ten.

But what about him?

He had consumed a large amount of cultivation resources and reached the ninth layer of the Body Refining Realm in half a month.

But he still lost.

With this, the gap between the two of them had been widened.

He thought of what he had done to Ruan Xiude in the past.

Now that Ruan Xiude had obtained a spot, he would enter the Drifting Cloud Sect. He might soar to the sky.

He would be stuck in the Dirtwich. He did not know how long it would take for him to break through to the Qi Gathering Stage.

When Ruan Xiude returned from the Drifting Cloud Sect a few years later, he might still be at the Enlightenment Stage.

At that time, if Ruan Xiude wanted to take revenge, he would be finished.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yingfa couldn’t help but tremble all over. The fear in his eyes increased.

He could not help but feel remorseful.

If he knew that Ruan Xiude was such a genius, why would he have provoked him?

Wasn’t he courting death?

Ruan Rui saw the change in his expression and shook his head. He sighed in his heart.

Ruan Xiude did not know that he had scared Ruan Yingfa just by entering the top ten.
