Chapter 661: Butterfly Slave (28)

First came the battles between ordinary disciples. In Wen Wan's eyes, most of these ordinary disciples were not so ordinary after all, since they were at least disciples who could enter the top-tier cultivation sect, Tianli Sect! The fighting was exceptionally fierce, and in the end, the top ten were determined. These top ten had the right to challenge the core disciples and personal disciples.

Wen Wan noticed several people staring at her, so she hid behind Chu Yao, terrified.

Clearly, they all wanted to bully her, since she became a core disciple by running away and by luck, and even by being lucky enough to become a personal disciple. Many people seemed to be dissatisfied with this, which is obviously normal.

Next came the battle among the core disciples. Throughout the entire process, Wen Wan noticed Chen Zihan staring at her. She asked herself if she had ever provoked this woman, but it was clear that this woman simply could not accept her becoming a personal disciple. This jealousy seemed to come out of nowhere.

"Wen Wan, I will challenge you. I will tell everyone that you are a piece of trash." Chen Zihan even threatened her before leaving.

Wen Yan: "..."

Help.

Soon, a struggle ensued among the core disciples.

There were twelve core disciples in total, and the top three were quickly determined. Chen Zihan was truly capable, ranking first. After all, she had a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Root and was the young lady of Fire Cloud Fortress. Her talent was exceptional, so it was only natural that she could get first place.

Wen Wan originally thought that this third match would be a battle between the direct disciples and the peaks, but it turned out that it was not; instead, a challenge match had begun.

First, there was a challenge between ten ordinary disciples who were of higher levels.

Most of the ordinary disciples challenged the core disciples, some challenging the weak and some challenging the strong. In the end, two people actually broke through the encirclement, won the competition, and successfully advanced to become core disciples.

How brutal.

Then the top-ranked ordinary disciple was a formidable and ruthless character, a true dark horse.

"Chen Mu, who do you choose to challenge?"

Wen Wan had a bad feeling. From the very beginning, Chen Mu had been watching her in a seemingly casual way.

And most importantly, Chen Mu and she have a grudge.

This Chen Mu was the twenty-first person to be admitted during the initial entrance test. He missed out on the spot as a core disciple, but now he is proving to everyone that he has the ability to become a core disciple.

"The one I want to challenge is... Lin Yuanfeng, Wen Wan."

Wen Yan: "..."

This was the first direct disciple to be challenged, and almost everyone looked at Wen Wan, only to find that she was hiding behind Chu Yao.

Many people found it funny, saying that Wen Wan was really too spineless.

It has utterly disgraced Lin Yuanfeng.

"Next up, Chen Mu and Wen Wan from Lin Yuanfeng, get ready to go on stage."

Wen Yan: "..."

"Go, junior sister! You can do it!" Lin Sheng encouraged her.

Wen Wan sighed. Oh well, it was unavoidable anyway. Even though she was a weakling, at least she could die cleanly. Besides, she might not necessarily lose. If she couldn't win, she could run away. Although it was a bit cowardly, she didn't care about saving face.

Wen Wan took a deep breath and then went on stage.

Chen Mu: "Wen Wan, this time I will prove to everyone that you are not worthy of being a core disciple or a personal disciple. I hope that after all this time, you will stop just hiding."

Wen Yan: "..."

We're all from the same sect, why are you being so ruthless?

Chen Mu, holding his sword, said, "Take out your sword."

Wen Wan wasn't a rabbit without a temper; even a rabbit will bite when cornered. She looked at the other party coldly and said, "If you really want to fight me, and you lose, you'll lose your chance to become a core disciple."

“I will obtain the status of a core disciple.” Chen Mu stared intently at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan sighed, "Fine, you resented me for not fighting you back then, so this time, it's as you wish."

Wen Wan drew her sword.

Chen Mu charged straight at Wen Wan. The next second, everyone was wondering how Wen Wan would dodge. Soon, the atmosphere at the scene froze.

Chen Mu stared wide-eyed at the sword at his neck. Before he could even react, he had lost in a single move.

"I won."

Wen Wan sheathed her sword, and Chen Mu exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible, let's try again."

He was about to stab Wen Wan again, but this time, his sword was deflected by Wen Wan, and Wen Wan's sword was once again at his neck.

"You lost again. I told you you would lose your chance to become a core disciple, but you wouldn't believe me."

Chen Mu: "..."

Everyone: "!!!"

The elders from the other peaks looked at Elder Lin Yuan and said, "Elder Lin Yuan, you've kept this a big secret. Your disciple is quite interesting."

Gao Linyuan hadn't expected this either, but at this moment, he naturally had to stay calm. "Wen Wan is very talented, she's just too lazy on weekdays."

Wen Wan won, and everyone was stunned. Chen Mu looked at Wen Wan and said, "So this is your true strength. You've been hiding your abilities all along. I admit defeat."

Wen Wan: Why hide your shortcomings? She was a complete novice back then.

Even the worst chicken has the sword techniques and movement skills provided by the system, and with her master, the male protagonist Elder Qian, watching over her practice. If she's still that bad, she'll really start to wonder if all her limbs are crippled.

Moreover, she possesses a Heavenly-grade spiritual root.

This is a unique talent for cultivation.

Wen Wan looked at Chen Mu and said, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

Having successfully shown off, Wen Wan returned to Chu Yao's side. Chu Yao gave her a thumbs up, "Junior Sister, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. It seems that our Lin Yuan Peak is going to be in the limelight this time."

"Senior brother, don't tease me. He's looking down on me. I'm just being clever."

"When did Junior Sister become so modest?" Lin Sheng asked with a smile.

Wen Wan: "That's right, humility is a virtue."

Wen Wan's actions directly changed many people's perceptions of her.

The core disciple challenge is coming soon.

The other two core disciples challenged the personal disciples, and both failed. After all, these personal disciples all had Heavenly Grade Spiritual Roots and received guidance from the elders of each peak. They were exceptionally talented. If they were easily challenged, wouldn't that prove that the elders had a problem with their judgment?

It was Chen Zihan's turn.

Wen Wan had a bad feeling, and in the end, her premonition came true. "I want to challenge Lin Yuan Peak... Wen Wan, please enlighten me."

Wen Yan: "..."

Chu Yao patted Wen Wan on the shoulder, "Junior Sister, you have quite a few enemies!"

Wen Wan: "Senior brother, be careful. If I embarrass myself, you'll embarrass yourself too."

Wen Wan went on stage.

Chen Zihan: "Don't think you're so great just because you defeated an ordinary disciple. Today I will definitely defeat you and tell everyone that you are not as good as me."

Wen Wan: "Alright, good luck. I hope your words are as sharp as your skills."

Chen Zihan's sword is the Fire Spirit Sword, a spiritual weapon from Fire Cloud Fortress. Compared to most new disciples who are still using ordinary disciple swords, having their own natal spiritual sword already puts them far ahead of many others.
