27. The Lord of One Peak, Dad 8
The Qiong Cang Sect's young disciples' cultivation rank rankings are updated every ten years. The four rankings—Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul—are held with great importance, creating competition, pressure, and motivation. Furthermore, the rewards for those who make the list are quite generous.
Tianheng Peak and Tianheng Hall gathered about twenty monks with immortal appearance. Some were calm and reserved with white hair, some were rough on the outside but straightforward in nature, some were elegant and beautiful female monks, and some were handsome and cool male monks who still looked young.
These are most of the Qiongcang Sect’s territory, including the masters of the twelve peaks, elders, guest officials, and great masters of the immortal sect.
"Is True Lord Deye's beloved disciple about to achieve a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage?"
Thinking of his beloved disciple Zhong Feiqi, a smile appeared on Zhenjun Deye's serious face. "Indeed, he's doing quite well."
"Junior Brother Zhong's talent is rare."
This sentence is exactly what Lord Deye wants.
"In previous years, True Lord Sanyan never came to watch the battles. Why is he here this time? Is there a promising talent?" True Lord Congxiang, who has a small mustache and a gentle appearance, said with a dashing smile.
Sitting next to Cheng Jiu, True Lord Yongli smiled elegantly: "True Lord Congxiang, you don't know, True Lord Sanyan's son is going to compete for the Foundation Establishment Ranking this year."
True Lord Cong Xiang was very curious: "Oh, so True Lord San Yan came to watch his son's game?" It was quite surprising. True Lord San Yan was a very cold and aloof person. If you didn't know him, you would think he was an immortal who practiced the ruthless way. I didn't expect him to care so much about his son.
***
Different rank ranking arenas are located in different areas.
Cao Ruixu pulled Cheng Ye through the crowd, explaining, "Let me tell you, there are a lot of people competing on the first day, so the competition will not be held on the big stage, but on a temporary stage. This first battle will eliminate half of the people."
"Also, ah, ah, those in front, please make way... Also, there won't be any opponents assigned for this battle, everyone will be free to form teams."
"Generally speaking, both sides will choose to compete with opponents of similar cultivation levels. So, when someone challenges you later, you must carefully examine the opponent's cultivation level and don't be eliminated in the first round."
They came to a temporary arena with fewer people and stopped to watch the fight.
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows: "Have you forgotten who I am?" With his fame, there must be many people who want to challenge him, and many of them want to take this opportunity to step on him.
If he succeeded, he would become famous in one battle, and the son of Sanyan Zhenjun would be beaten by someone. If he failed, there would be no loss either.
It's a fair challenge, no one can find fault with it.
Who is True Lord Sanyan? He is the youngest Mahayana cultivator in the Qiongcang Sect. In the Qiongcang Sect, apart from an old ancestor in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, two elders in the Mahayana Stage, and the head of the Mahayana Stage, True Lord Sanjiao, he is the peak master with the highest cultivation level and the peerless genius who is most likely to be promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Stage within two thousand years.
Cao Ruixu slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot... This is difficult to deal with." If it is a challenge with people of similar cultivation, it is okay, but if someone with much higher cultivation comes to challenge shamelessly, it will be difficult to deal with. It will be difficult to refuse, but if you don't refuse, you can't win.
Cheng Ye crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly: "If the enemy comes, we will stop them; if the water comes, we will block it with earth." He was not afraid of them.
Looking at Cao Ruixu's conflicted expression, he raised his chin and said, "Don't worry, I have confidence as long as the opponent is not two levels higher than me." His father's crushing training was not for show. Unless the opponent was an experienced old hand, otherwise, he would not be afraid even if the opponent was one level higher than him.
Cao Ruixu: "As expected of the Little Overlord of the Sky, so arrogant."
Cheng Ye: “Get lost.”
There was a loud cheer from the crowd, and it seemed that the winner of the previous group had been decided.
"Who's winning?"
"It's Senior Sister Long Shan from Guixiu Peak."
"That female devil?"
"Keep your voice down? Are you looking for death?"
…
Cheng Ye: "Don't you want to go see your sister?" Can Cao Ruixu really trust his sister?
Cao Ruixu: "She won't participate in the ranking." My sister's cultivation is too low, and she is still young. Even if she participates in the ranking, she will probably be eliminated in the first battle.
Cheng Ye nodded. He was not surprised that Cao Ruian did not participate. He had never seen a cultivator as timid as her.
"When will you go on the court? Don't wait until there are only opponents in the late stage of foundation building. Do you want to be eliminated in the first battle? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing your uncle?" Cao Ruixu has already passed the first battle and is now watching Cheng Ye's game.
"You are the one who is ashamed. Does it matter when I go up there?" As soon as he steps onto the ring, those who want to stand out will definitely compete to be his opponent.
Cao Ruixu smiled and said, "There really is no difference, but I want to see how you slap them in the face."
At this time, a female cultivator wearing the uniform of a direct disciple came over aggressively and said, "Junior Brother Cheng Ye, do you dare to fight me?"
Why does someone with such a cute face make such an arrogant and unpleasant expression?
Hmm? Who is this?
Cheng Ye was puzzled: "Who are you?"
The nun raised her chin high, like a proud peacock, and said:
"Yue Nanfeng He Minshu." He didn't even recognize me. He is indeed a useless person who only knows how to bully others.
Don’t know.
Cheng Ye: "Senior sister, your cultivation is two levels higher than mine. Even if you win, it would be unfair, right?" Cheng Ye was certainly not afraid of her. He just couldn't understand why this female cultivator, who didn't look like she needed to use him to increase her popularity, challenged him?
He Minshu raised her eyebrows, looked at Cheng Ye with disdain and said, "I will lower my cultivation by two levels to be on par with you. Do you dare?"
Cheng Ye: "I dare, but you don't have to suppress your cultivation." Then he walked towards the registration office for the battle.
Cao Ruixu: "..."
Cao Ruixu: "Hey, hey, Cheng Ye, are you really going to do it?" No need to suppress it? It would be so embarrassing to lose to a female cultivator.
Cheng Ye wrote his name and said, "Just wait and see."
As soon as He Minshu stepped onto the stage, she lowered her cultivation level by two levels, and Cheng Ye didn't say anything.
The audience in the audience was very excited to see this. The competition between the two direct disciples was definitely very interesting.
Both of them were sword cultivators, each holding a sword and standing at the two ends of the arena.
At the outset of the match, He Minshu attacked directly, her thin, cicada-wing-thin soft sword thrusting forward. The two swords collided with a buzzing sound. Like a small snake, the soft sword nimbly pierced Cheng Ye's saber, biting him in the face like a silver serpent. With a twist of his wrist, Cheng Ye's saber freed itself from the soft sword's entanglement. He leaped up and kicked He Minshu in the arm, abruptly separating them and ending the first round.
He Minshu puffed out her chest and thought to herself, this loser has some skills.
As the sword was struck out, wind and rain came, and the vigorous spiritual energy swept across in front of him without delay. Cheng Ye retreated a few steps, raised the sword, and swung it out. The spiritual energy and sword energy collided, and countless sparks burst out in an instant, chasing each other.
The clouds and rain had not yet stopped, and the flowing light, spiritual energy and murderous aura came straight towards him, suddenly making people feel cold all over.
Cheng Ye flew into the air, cut off the incoming spiritual power with a sword, and then rushed straight to the back of He Minshu. He Minshu quickly dodged, and a hairpin fell to the ground with a "thump".
"Good!" The audience in the audience began to get excited, clapping and cheering.
He Minshu glared at Cheng Ye with an unpleasant expression. After dozens of rounds of fighting, not only did she not kick Cheng Ye off the stage, but she was even being played around by him. If she hadn't just noticed that Cheng Ye's sword still had some power left, she wouldn't have noticed this.
"Senior Sister He, why don't we start a serious fight sooner rather than later? This will only waste both of our time." Cheng Ye raised her pretty little face and smiled arrogantly.
"you!
"He Minshu's face turned red with anger, "Shameless villain." "No one has ever dared to play tricks on me like this!
Cheng Ye was amused. She had been so arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, but now she looked so bullied. Why was that? Are all female cultivators like this?
He Minshu released her suppressed cultivation this time and looked at Cheng Ye angrily: "I will definitely teach you a lesson."
I'm waiting.
Cheng Ye's face was tense and serious. Someone with a cultivation level two levels higher than his was definitely not that easy to deal with.
Sure enough, He Minshu's first move was a scorching sun falling, and her aura was soaring. The pressure of her spiritual power made Cheng Ye almost unable to dodge and he retreated rapidly. His sword cut a long gash on the ring. If the ring was not made of special materials, it would have been split in half by now.
This battle was indeed much more exciting than the previous one. Even those who were close to the arena retreated together, fearing that they would be affected by the huge spiritual power. Although the elders supervising the battle had set up a barrier, it was still scary to watch. Everyone kept a distance from the arena at the same time. The temporary arena was not a big arena, and the protection measures were not that good. Safety came first.
Cheng Ye crashed heavily onto the platform. As soon as he landed, danger was imminent. Cheng Ye was shocked and rolled to the side quickly. "Bang", a big hole appeared where he had fallen, and smoke was emitting from it.
Cheng Ye swallowed his saliva. Is this person trying to ruin his appearance? I have a good-looking face, is it a hindrance to you? This is intolerable.
He flipped back in the air, and his spiritual power filled the sword. His figure seemed to enter a sea of fire. He was as light as a cloud and as fast as lightning, and the sword tip was heading straight for He Minshu.
He Minshu did not retreat either. The two swords collided, the blades intersected, and the spiritual forces collided. Cheng Ye forced her back again. "Hah!" Cheng Ye struck back with all his might. While she was in the air, his sword slashed across her abdomen and directly cut open He Minshu's belt.
He Minshu was horrified and kicked to the ground by Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye has dementia.
Cheng Ye blushed.
He swore he had never expected this.
He Minshu was furious. She quickly straightened her clothes and stabbed Cheng Ye desperately.
He Minshu, who had lost her mind, began to attack frantically. Cheng Ye used the quick recovery state he had when he was trained by his father, and dragged He Minshu until she was exhausted, and finally kicked her off the stage.
"Changqing Peak, Cheng Ye wins." The supervising elder announced.
"Ah! Cheng Ye actually won?"
"Senior Sister He's cultivation is two levels higher than his, right? How is that possible?"
"A few times ago, I thought Cheng Ye was going to lose, but, is he too tough?"
"Hush, have you forgotten... a few days ago, Cheng Ye was severely disciplined by True Lord Sanyan."
"Hey, I know that. I even went to watch... Honestly, it was pretty miserable."
