Chapter 30 - The beginning of the outer sect compet.i.tion
Today, the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect was bustling with noise and excitement. The outer sect disciples' compet.i.tion had filled the Martial Arts Practice Field with people. There were tens of thousands of outer court disciples, and they far surpa.s.sed the number of inner court disciples.
As long as they were outer court disciples, they could partic.i.p.ate in the outer court-martial compet.i.tion. However, most of the Body Refinement and Bone Tempering disciples did not partic.i.p.ate. Only about ten thousand people would be partic.i.p.ating in the Large Compet.i.tion.Wanting to stand out among ten thousand people was naturally not an easy matter. Even if one became one of the top hundred, they would still stand on the heads of over nine thousand people. It was even more difficult to become one of the top ten. As for becoming first place, many people had never even thought about it.
"If I can obtain the Qi Condensation Pill, I'll have a much greater chance of breaking through to the true qi realm. I am determined to get first place in this compet.i.tion! "
Ling Dao clenched his fists, the first thing he had to do was get hold of it. He could not wait for next year's compet.i.tion. If not for the Qi Condensation Pill, with his current vigorous savings, he might not have been able to breakthrough successfully. No matter what realm he wanted to break through to, it was better to succeed once.Just like him, the person who was completely confident that he could take first place was one of the top five outer court disciples. Eldest Senior Sister Xia Xinyao, herself, was the number one disciple in the outer sect, and she had even taken number one for granted.
Second Senior Brother Teng Shaofeng was the eldest senior brother of the past. The last time he was defeated by Xia Xinyao, he had always felt ashamed. During this period of time where he had been cultivating with all his might, he already had the confidence to defeat Xia Xinyao. As for Third Senior Brother Wei Jingshan, he had a fortuitous encounter. Fourth Senior Brother Zhong Zhenhai appeared to be even more unfathomable, and only Fifth Senior Brother Lu Hong looked extremely ordinary."Silence!"
The one who presided over the outer sect compet.i.tion was the vice sect master of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect. His name was Zhuang Xin, and he looked to be around thirty years old. His voice was extremely loud and instantly caused the entire Martial Arts Practice Grounds to quieten down.
"It looks like our Sky-splitting Sword Sect's disciples are full of confidence. I will only mention one thing, this time the top ten will all be richly rewarded.
If any of you can take first place, not only can you obtain a Qi Condensation Pill, you can also obtain a Inferior Sword Style, and you can even take an extremely powerful elder as your master. How much talent you all have displayed, we Sky-splitting Sword Sect will pay a huge price to cultivate you all!
This vice sect master will now announce that the outer sect disciples' compet.i.tion has officially begun! "As Zhuang Xin's voice fell, the entire martial ground began to boil. Fortunately, there were many Elders present today. Therefore, the scene would not become chaotic. The 10,000 outer court disciples, on the other hand, entered the Martial Arts Practice Field in batches, and started their wonderful battles.
As for the disciples that were originally ranked in the top ten outer sect disciples, there was no need for them to do anything at all. The ten of them were even sitting on chairs, and the treatment they received was absolutely not something that the other outer court disciples could compare to.
"There's nothing to see in these battles. They're too weak and don't have much combat experience. However, they just so happened to let me get used to the Sky Cracking Sword Art, if not I would be exposed! "
In just a day's time, Ling Dao had successfully cultivated the Sky Cracking Sword Art. Furthermore, after he had mastered it, he had yet to use the Sky Cracking Sword Art to fight anyone else. Right now was the selection compet.i.tion that was giving him the best chance to do so.
Ling Dao's first opponent was only a youth of around sixteen years of age. With a sixteen year old coagulation field, wanting to become a disciple of the Celestial Sect s was indeed impossible, but becoming a disciple of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect s was not a problem.
"I never thought that my first opponent would be someone even smaller than me. Seems like the beginning of the match is not bad. Perhaps this time, I'll be able to get a good name for myself!"
This youth had heard of Ling Dao's name before, but unfortunately, he had never met Ling Dao personally, otherwise he would not dare to say such words. For him to stand beside Gao Bufan, let alone defeat him with a single sword strike, he probably did not even have the courage to pull out his sword.
"This kid actually showed up. I hope you can hold on until the end. When the time comes, I'll let you have a good time!"
Seeing Ling Dao's appearance, Gao Bufan held onto the armrest of the chair tightly. In his eyes, a blazing fury was flickering. If it were not for him being cautious of the rules of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, he probably would have already rushed out and minced Ling Dao's body into a thousand pieces."Take out your sword, otherwise you won't even have the chance to pull out your sword!"
A sixteen year old youngster arrogantly said with his head held high. His att.i.tude actually made Ling Dao smile. But Ling Dao was too lazy to speak anymore nonsense, he immediately pulled out his sword and attacked the young man, his sword techniques appearing extremely young and immature.This was the first time using the Sky Cracking Sword Art to execute a sword technique, even Ling Dao felt that it was a little difficult to adapt. The youth opposite him, on the other hand, started laughing. In his opinion, Ling Dao and him were existences on completely different levels.
"I didn't expect that the first battle would be so easy. Just lose!"
The teenager suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at Ling Dao. The speed of his sword was considered good, in that moment, his sword was already less than three feet away from Ling Dao. And the sword in Ling Dao's hand, just happened to retract, as the two swords clashed.Following the progress of the battle, Ling Dao's use of the Sky Cracking Sword Art became more and more proficient. The young lad in front of him could feel it the most clearly, as if Ling Dao had become a completely different person.
"Time to end it!"
Before this youth could react, his pupils shrank. Ling Dao's long sword had already pierced the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows, and the tip of the sword was less than a foot away from the center of his brows. If Ling Dao really wanted to kill him, he would have died on the spot.
"Something's not right. He was clearly so weak before, how did he become so powerful in the blink of an eye?"
Even though he had lost, the youth still felt that it was a bit unbelievable. With a sad face, he walked down dejectedly. He had wanted to get a good ranking, but he didn't expect to lose in the first round.In the battles that followed, it was still the same. Ling Dao's performance in every battle was extremely ordinary, and was not at all unique. Every time, he would have to fight for half a day before he would be able to achieve victory. Unlike some disciples, he would be able to achieve victory with a single sword strike.
After a real battle, Ling Dao had also realized that even if he were to fight with an opponent that was very weak, he would still be able to make up for the deficiencies in his sword techniques. In any case, he had been suppressing his own strength, so naturally, his performance was not eye-catching."Indeed, this boy's strength is so weak. Fortunately, he was able to walk over by luck. When he meets me, I must wash away my shame and make him kneel at my feet! "
Vicious light flashed through Gao Bufan's eyes. It was as if he could already see how miserable the future Ling Dao would be!
