I Am Supreme Chapter 1007 - Yun Yang’s Leading Protégé

There was no miracle, just like how the heavens would not always bless the same soul. The protégés of Yun Yang, the leader of the Residence of Nine Supremes, did not even qualify to compete in the race to be the top ten disciples.

This fact gladdened the hearts of s.h.i.+ Wuchen and others. They were gratified and thrilled – it was not an easy feat for them to finally outdo Yun Yang!

“Sigh, my top disciple, Yu Chenghang, got second place. I thought that squeezing himself into the top three was already the best he could do!” Luo Dajiang spoke humbly, but the elation on his face had long betrayed him.

“Hmm, it’s such a surprise that my top student, Sun Mingxiu, seized the first place in the Residence of Nine Supremes’ disciple match. I thought that boss’ protégés would definitely dominate the top three placings – he’s relented too much…” s.h.i.+ Wuchen added, looking smug.

“Second s.h.i.+, shut up. Don’t you know that it’s the critical match between third and fourth rank right now? Eh? This little fellow isn’t too bad – whose student is he?”

“Ninth’s, Kong Luoyue’s disciple. The little fellow’s sensibility is excellent. What’s his name again? Bai Yexing? How on earth had that name been given to him? Bai Yexing, isn’t that cruising the night in luxurious garments?”

“He’s called Bai Yexing but it’s entirely different from cruising the night in luxurious garments, alright? That child battling him is Tie Qingcang’s disciple, Huang Tie. He left quite an impression on me. This child’s actual capability is supposedly higher than Bai Yexing, but he lacks flexibility and spontaneity. He doesn’t fight as ingeniously as Bai Yexing does… I’m afraid he’ll lose…”

“Why doesn’t Boss look too good here?”

“How can that be? So many of our disciples are improving by leaps and bounds. It’s plain to see. Boss should only feel overjoyed.”

“Do you think that he’s jealous? And angry?”

“I don’t think so. Even if he doesn’t look happy, I’m sure he feels it in his heart. He’s delighted…”

“Really? Is that possible?”

“Why don’t you ask him if he’s inwardly gleeful?”

“F*ck off! Why aren’t you asking him yourself?”

“Hahaha…”

Looking at the serious-looking chums who were actually laughing at him with their psychic voices, Yun Yang’s exasperation intensified. He had never felt this level of frustration he was currently experiencing.

‘Hmph! Am I the type of person who cares about the ranking of my disciples?’

‘Fine, I am!’

‘Still, I can’t turn the tables now, so I’ll let you fellows enjoy it a bit more…’

‘Our accounts will be settled one day!’

Speaking of Bai Yexing, the young boy was very clever. There were truly not many at his age and cultivation base who could apply what they learned so easily in battles, yet he had successfully done so in addition to setting himself quite far apart from the rest…

When the results of the matches were revealed, s.h.i.+ Wuchen and Ren Qingkuang’s disciples had respectively taken two placings each while the other six peaks held a ranking each. The outcome had simultaneously shown that none from the Central Peak had claimed a spot from the top ten disciples.

They had scored a clean zero.

Eight men were grinning ear to ear while Yun Yang’s expression was ominous.

The contest for the sect’s top ten disciples came to an end, but the match was yet to complete, as there were still battles of the same level.

As the top ten disciples were the best among the Earth Mystic and Heaven Mystic levels, bagging their victories in the previous match, it was unnecessary for them to fight again. The ranking was determined directly without any objection.

Subsequently, the spotlight of the equivalent level battle fell on the disciples whose cultivation base was only at Jade Mystic. There were plenty of them across the mountains, whether they were just Jade Mystic beginners or Jade Mystic pinnacles. Here, Yun Yang had a protégé who could partic.i.p.ate as well.

It was the small girl with the highest cultivation base among Yun Yang’s pupils.

In a timely manner, a strong-willed childlike voice rang out crisply, “Yun Xiuxin of the Central Peak is ready!”

Yun Xiuxin, who was nine years old, a little girl, was Yun Yang’s leading protégé…

The little girl had been observing her master’s grim expression. The first disciple contest of the Residence of Nine Supremes, but there was no one from the Central Peak who was in the top ten disciples… Anyone would be enraged.

It was not that the girl did not want to do her part; she was smart. She knew that her cultivation base disallowed her from competing against her peers of Earth Mystic pinnacle and above, so she had held herself back all the way until the equal level battle!

Stepping out from the crowd, the little girl was young, but she was already exuding a piercing aura.

“I’ll be the top in Jade Mystic for master!” The young girl was aggressive and relentless.

Not only did the Supremes feel that the pet.i.te girl was not exactly out of place, but their gazes also brightened. s.h.i.+ Wuchen murmured to himself, “This young girl… is quite interesting.”

The battle began.

It must be mentioned that the duels among the Jade Mystic cultivators were worth more antic.i.p.ation than the fights among the Earth and Heaven Mystic cultivators. At the very least, the result was not revealed as fast.

Yun Xiuxin’s first opponent was a boy who was around ten years old.

Once they put up a fight against each other, the girl had absolute dominance.

The tiny person had her lips pressed tightly together while her delicate face was serious, an icy sense of lonesomeness flowing from her expression. The sword in her grip glimmered coldly as it waved about systematically, enveloping the boy in layers of sword light within three techniques.

Despite being at the losing end, the boy was reluctant to admit defeat as he fought back with all he could. It was, however, apparent to everyone that his chance was lost. His fierce counter was only futile, if not escalating his losses.

As expected, the boy let out a low grunt as his shoulder bled and his sword flew out of his hand after two additional exchanges.

“Good match.” The girl withdrew her attack immediately upon scoring.

It was beyond doubt that Yun Xiuxin had won her first battle!

There was a total of eleven people across the nine mountains whose cultivation base had come to the Jade Mystic level. Five people advanced as five more lost while another person received a walkover; luck was always a part of one’s ability, thus no one could complain about it.

Yun Xiuxin’s next opponent was an eleven-year-old girl whose cultivation base was a notch higher than hers. In spite of it, the latter was more inferior in the ring, contributing to Yun Xiuxin’s second win after the combat round.

There would only be two people who could maintain a winning strike after two bouts. In other words, Yun Xiuxin would be the best of Jade Mystic level with just another victory.

“Boss, your young girl is rather tough isn’t she?” said s.h.i.+ Wuchen, looking somewhat grim, “However, such a disciple stands out too much. It’s easy to fall when one reaches an extreme end. Besides, a personality like this isn’t great. I’m afraid she’ll only add to your fury. She looks like a delicate little girl, but she’s a tough cookie for sure. Why don’t you move her to be under me? I don’t mind going the extra mile for you as a brother.”

Yun Yang chuckled, answering incredibly gently, “F*ck off!”

s.h.i.+ Wuchen looked abashed. Grudgingly, he thought to himself, ‘With her determined character, she should be my disciple…’

Another person who maintained the winning strike was also a girl. Glancing at her, Yun Yang realized that she was Junior Sister Ling, the junior to Bai Yexing, Ling Xiaorou.
