Chapter 101: Chapter 94, One Sword Breaks the Law

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Yuan looked around him, sighing slightly in his heart, having forgotten about Su Luo’s exceptional qi movement.

He figured this Su Luo was most likely focused on me from the start, which is why he could hear me clearly.

Now he had a bit of a headache; originally he did not want to draw such attention, but against Su Luo’s aggressiveness, he could not back down.

He said calmly, “Yes! You heard me right!”

“Good! I’ll be waiting for you to defeat me!” Su Luo said impassively, then turned and walked away.

The conversation between the two of them caused quite a stir among those around.

“How straightforward, I like it!”

“Great, there will be a good show soon. I hope Jiang Yuan really does have confidence. If he wins, I am going to get rich!”

“Do you mean to say…you actually bet on Jiang Yuan to win?”

“Yes! When the odds were one to eight, I placed fifty spiritual stones just to try my luck!”

“You’re incredible!”

While everyone was chattering,

A middle-aged woman at a high platform rose into the sky.

“Look, that’s Chief Mu, the Chief of Wushan Mountain. I heard that in Chief Mu’s lineage, eighty percent of disciples are women. If I could join Chief Mu’s lineage, life would be great!”

At that moment, Chief Mu hovering mid-air spoke softly,

“Silence!”

Instantly, the two words burst like thunderbolts, and the crowd fell instantly silent.

She looked around dominantly, then continued, “This inner sect examination begins now. Hold your ground on one of the ten platforms for the time it takes an incense stick to burn out to enter the top ten!”

Cutting through the shadows, she continued, “Remember, it is not your ranking or realm that decides whether various Elders or Chiefs will accept you as a direct disciple, but your performance!”

“The heaven geniuses of the Supreme Mystery Sect must possess exceptional natural gifts in cultivation and strong actual combat capabilities. They cannot be a mere cork who only knows cultivation!”

Seeing the excited faces of the outer sect disciples, faces that were eager to try,

She nodded with satisfaction, the Supreme Mystery Sect was indeed growing more robust.

“Now, begin!” With her command, Immediately, people jumped onto the platforms.

“I, Li Qiang, seek guidance from all my fellow students!”

A succession of vigorous young men and women began to swarm the platform.

Seeing the intense battles beginning on the platforms, Jiang Yuan was not in a rush.

He had learned about the rules beforehand, so he was familiar with them.

There was an unwritten rule here, heaven geniuses waited while the ordinary outer sect disciples made the first move.

The Supreme Mystery Sect worked like this; you must showcase your strength. If your actual combat performance is mundane, you are unqualified to become an inner sect disciple, even if you have transcended.

Under such circumstances, they only had two choices.

One, go to the secular world to serve as an outer-court housekeeper for the Supreme Mystery Sect.

The other, leave the Supreme Mystery Sect, free to choose another path.

Jiang Yuan observed battles from various corners, at various strengths. The dizzying fights delighted him greatly.

This kind of realistic special effect was something he had had no chance to see in his previous life.

At this time, on a platform in front of him, a muscular man jumped up and instantly sent the occupant flying.

Then he faced downward and yelled, “Jiang Yuan, come up and fight! I’ll make you understand that, let alone Su Luo, you can’t even beat me, Wu Yong.”

As he spoke, his eyes were burning fiercely towards the direction where Jiang

Yuan was standing.

His words caused immediate buzz from the crowd.

“Isn’t that Wu Yong who lives in the second courtyard? He dares to challenge Jiang Yuan?”

“Exactly! Probably he’s pissed about Jiang Yuan overshadowing him!”

“And you know he has been pursuing Su Luo. Maybe he wants to vent some anger for her!”

“You’re right! If he can defeat Jiang Yuan, he might win over her heart! But can he challenge Jiang Yuan with his meridian breaking at the second threshold?”

Wu Yong held a knife in one hand and winced in the other, laughing loudly,

“Don’t tell me you’re a coward?”

“Okay, I’ll take you on!” Jiang Yuan replied.

Then he turned to Shu Xiaoxiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, lend me your sword!”

“Young Master, please!” Shu Xiaoxiao held out the sword with both hands respectfully.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan grabbed the long sword from her hand, leapt into the air, and crossed tens of meters in a moment to land on the platform.

Meanwhile.

On the high platform.

“Is that Jiang Yuan?” A beautiful woman asked. She was the Chief of the Divine Maiden Peak.

Tantai Ming beside her replied lightly: “Yes!”

“He is also Jiang Zhenyuan’s son?”

“Yes!”

The beautiful woman gave Tantai Ming a deep, heartfelt look, shaking her head with a sigh.

Tantai Ming also pretended to be dejected: “Master, I can’t forget him!”

The beautiful woman said softly: “You are already engaged to Wang Yu, you have to forget him. Besides, he is already dead. What is there that you can’t let go of?”

At this time, on another side,

A young man in a green robe looked down at Jiang Yuan and laughed, “Uncle

Master Kong, is that the disciple you’ve been longing for?”

This person was the current Sect Leader of the Supreme Mystery Sect, Lu Qingshan.

“What, now that you’re the Sect Leader, you want to make fun of me?”

“I wouldn’t dare. I just think that this young man is extraordinary!” Lu Qingshan said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Kong Nian was instantly overjoyed: “The disciple I have my eye on is of course extraordinary! That youngster has a terrifying aptitude for learning!”

“Oh? How terrifying?”

Kong Nian had a mysterious smile, “Just watch, you’ll know soon!”

Lu Qingshan was instantly curious. At first, he hadn’t taken Jiang Yuan seriously, but now it seemed that he might indeed be different!

Otherwise, why would Uncle Master Kong be so fond of him!

On the stage.

Wu Yong looked at Jiang Yuan standing in front of him, revealing a tinge of jealousy in his eyes.

Throughout his life, he despised the sons of nobility, and especially Jiang Yuan’s current appearance and demeanor.

It made him feel intensely ashamed and stirred an enmity in his heart.

He slowly pulled out his long knife, “Bring it on! Let me see how strong the well-known you from the Outer Court actually is! I hope your reputation isn’t just empty noise.”

With his words resonating, the powerful qi enveloping his body was released without restraint.

“Triple realm!” Shocked cheers arose from the crowd below.

Wu Yong revealed a pleasing smile. To make his performance outstanding, he deliberately withdrew from the Inner Sect’s assessment three years ago.

Three years of restraint, just for this moment, to shock everyone.

To let the Elders see his talent. This way, as long as he is taken by an Elder as a true disciple…

..all the hiding would be meaningful.

Wu Yong laughed, “See? This is my strength. You, a mere triple realm junior, are you capable of challenging Su Luo!”

Jiang Yuan shook his head. The next moment, he sped towards Wu Yong.

“What does his head shake mean?” Someone in the crowd looked surprised.

Watching from the high stage, Lu Qingshan also laughed, “One in the triple realm and one in the quadruple realm, interesting! Unexpectedly, this year’s batch produced quite a few talents!”

Chief Mu beside him also commented, “Sect Leader, I heard that these past few years, various sects have produced numerous geniuses. Could there be some sort of anomaly occurring in this part of the world?”

Lu Qingshan hesitated before replying, “Ever since the completion of world-traversing in ancient times, things gradually declined. If this continues, transcending will become increasingly difficult! If changes are happening now, that’s good news. Without changes, our future would be bleak! ”

He then chuckled and shook his head again, “These concerns are superfluous for us. Let the ceiling collapse, there are tall ones who will hold it up! Just sit back and enjoy the show.”

Below.

Wu Yong watched Jiang Yuan rushing towards him, raised his blade and bellowed, “Wind Slash!”

In an instant, the spirit-energy in the surrounding air changed dramatically. A gusty wind blew, scattering sand and dust everywhere.

“Almost a perfected Wind Slash! No wonder he dared to challenge Jiang Yuan!” Someone below called out in terror.

Hearing this gasp from the crowd, Wu Yong flashed a smug smile.

The ‘Wind Slash’ was a ranked offensive technique, though only at an inferior level.

Once reaching the ranked level, it would be in total control of the might of heaven and earth.

Jiang Yuan’s eyes suddenly became sharp, that fluctuation of the spiritual energy in the air was crystal clear in his eyes.

Highlights and weaknesses were all completely clear to him.

Clang!

The long sword in his hand came out of its sheath and countered the incoming blade edge.

Clang!

The sound of steel colliding resounded through everyone’s ears.

Some people, who were Outer Court disciples yet to transcend, covered their ears in pain.

Wu Yong instantly felt an overwhelming force transmitting from the edge of his blade towards the hilt, then up towards his wrist.

Underneath this force, his palm instantly cracked apart. The long blade in his hand crumbled and disintegrated into a cold glint which flew outside the stage.

“What exceptional perception!” Lu Qingshan, who was on the high platform, exclaimed in awe: “He even managed to see through the weakness of this move. Precisely countered by a mere pinpoint, the immense force is indeed scary. The strength of those two is simply not on the same level, no wonder Uncle Master Kong holds him in such high esteem.”

Kong Nian lightly stroked his beard and chuckled: “It’s more than that, just keep watching.”

At the same time.

On the stage, Jiang Yuan swiftly rotated his sword. A sudden burst of strength from his wrist made the whole sword bow, then, using the backlash, it forcefully hit Wu Yong.

Smack!

His face turned pale as the sound of a slap rang out. He was sent flying into the air.

With a “thud”, he landed on the ground.

Jiang Yuan didn’t spare him another glance, instead, he announced to the crowd below: “I seek guidance from my fellow senior and junior sect brothers.” On hearing this, those standing below retreated in unison.

“Stop kidding, Wu Yong was no match for him in a single round, who would dare to go up and get beaten up!”

“Exactly! Brother Jiang’s strength is extraordinary. He effortlessly broke Wu Yong’s offensive technique with just a common long sword. He’s on a completely different level from us!”

Su Luo, who was far away, saw this.

She then jumped onto a stage beside her, casually swept the person on it off stage.

In no time, no one dared to go up to the stage where they were.

They quickly realized that Su Luo was planning to challenge Jiang Yuan later.

As time slowly passed, other stages were bustling while Jiang Yuan and Su Luo’s stages remained quiet.

No one dared to step on their stages.

After an hour, both of them jumped down from their respective stages.

According to rules, they both had entered the top ten, waiting for the final battle.

However, just then.

Lu Qingshan, who was usually calm on the high platform, rose to his feet slowly, his face serious.

“This old fellow has finally come. It seems like the Imperial Family of Qianyuan

Kingdom is truly restless now!”

As he spoke, a flying ship pierced through the sky from a distance and appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The entire ship shone brightly with gold. Under the sunlight, it seemed to radiate a golden divine glow.

On top of it, a great “Zhou” character was written on each of the fiery-red flags, fluttering fiercely in the wind.

The waves of qi parted like a tide.

People below noticed this scene.

“Is that… the flying ship of the Qianyuan Imperial Family?!” Someone spoke in disbelief.

That remark instantly caught everyone’s attention, and their gaze converged on the golden ship overhead.

Meanwhile.

On the ship.

“Son, this trip must succeed without failure! Suppression of the young generation of the Supreme Mystery Sect will weaken the qi movement of the sect and accumulate it for our country. Before long, we will surely trample all big sects and accomplish complete unification!”

The middle-aged man murmured, “I’ve waited too long for this day!”

The young man in golden armor clenched his fist, his expression firm.

“Uncle Wang, rest assured! Among the young generation, I am invincible within my realm. I will take this opportunity to cultivate my invincible spirit! My world is not confined to the small Qianyuan Kingdom but extends to the

Eastern Region, and even the Five Realms and Four Seas!”

“Good!” The middle-aged man laughed heartily, “That’s my brave nephew!”
