Chapter 218 - A Heated Discussion In The South Continent! ! !

If Yu Linglong had not told him back then, he would not even have known that he was on the list.

So what if Dao Zheng had said it?

Who did Dao Zheng think he was?

Even if what Dao Zheng said were important because they were commands, did he have to go just because Dao Zheng had asked him to?

Xuan Yi could not be bothered.

The disciples silently understood Xuan Yi's att.i.tude. Xuan Yi was their master, and he had taught them by example. They were disciples, and they were always learning.

"Master's taoist heart is firm and will not be affected by any external matters."

As lights flickered from the bright blueish moon, the disciples sighed in admiration for Xuan Yi. They could see Xuan Yi's enormous state of calmness and knew that they would not be as calm if they were him.

"Only with Xuan Yi's firm devotion to sword, can he practice to become a truly peerless sword immortal."

Jian Chen's eyes were bright, and his face was filled with deep admiration.

Half a month later after the disciples had left, the river region became populated. The sides and sh.o.r.es of the river were almost packed with people.

Almost all the top ten greatest regions, including the power of the southern sky in the Holy Region, the legacy families from the boundary regions, had sent people over.

This battle attracted the attention of all the forces in the southern continent!

A figure appeared tearing through the air and landed heavily on the Red River Mountain with a loud crash that shook the entire mountain. In the same moment, an overbearing intent to fight shot into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds.

It's the martial arts maniac, Crazy Sabre Dao Zheng.

His looks carried a condensed intent to battle, stirring up a surging spirit. A gust of wind caused his hair to dance wildly over his shoulders. He unleashed a terrifying fighting spirit that could match an early-stage sage.

Dao Zheng had announced his arrival to everyone.

Boom!

With the mixture of the noise and spirit, the air wave was stirred up and exploded with a bang, causing the astral wind layer to shake. Everyone covered their ears, and their eyes were filled with extreme shock.

Dao Zheng, who had been pushed down from the Yuan Roll, was already so powerful. What kind of power would the experts on the Yuan Roll have.

How powerful would Xuan Yi, who was ranked number one on the Yuan Roll, be.

Everyone looked at the majestic Red River Mountain with antic.i.p.ation.

Dao Zheng had already arrived. Where was Xuan Yi?

Everyone had looked with antic.i.p.ation. But as the wait lasted from morning to noon, the excitement began to fade slightly.

From noon till night, everyone was restless, underrated one another and doubts started to arise.

From night till the next morning, only Dao Zheng was at the entire Red River Mountain.

Xuan Yi did not turn up.

Everyone waited bitterly, but there was no sign of Xuan Yi at all.

The next day, Dao Zheng snorted coldly. He did not look good.

He had openly challenged Xuan Yi and stood high on the Red River Mountain in front of everyone, enduring the cold river wind for the entire day.

In the end, Xuan Yi stood him up.

"He's as timid as a mouse. This is disappointing."

Dao Zheng shook his head gently, his eyes filled with contempt. Finally, he took a glance at the Red River Mountain, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The news that Xuan Yi did not come to accept the challenge also spread throughout the entire southern continent. This time, it really caused a huge stir.

Almost everyone began to doubt whether Xuan Yi was really ranked number one on the Yuan roll.

The voices of doubt spread to the middle Saint Academy.

As the formerly ranked number one on the Yuan roll, Dao Zheng had challenged the current number one person in the Yuan Roll, but in the end, Xuan Yi did not turn up at all.

He had left Dao Zheng on the Red River Mountain, enduring the wind for a day and a night.

In the eyes of everyone, Xuan Yi, who as a pract.i.tioner in the sect master realm, should not look down on Dao Feng in such a way even if Xuan Yi was ranked number one in the sect master realm.

This was almost as good as slapping Dao Zheng in the face.

Moreover, it was not certain whether Xuan Yi's ident.i.ty as number one on the Yuan roll was real.

After all, he had never publicly defeated any sage expert. And the ten people, who were previously on the Yuan roll, all had battle records of challenging sages across realms!

Some people a.n.a.lyzed that either Xuan Yi had looked down on Dao Zheng and did not bother with him.

Or, Xuan Yi's power was exaggerated.

Xuan Yi was a tutor in the middle Saint Academy, which was one of the famous academies in the southern continent that was ranked in the top five. In consideration, it was impossible to conceal the fact that Xuan Yi was a famous person.

More than half a year ago, he was at the mid-term sect leader realm even when he was in the Dongping region.

Appearance on the Yuan roll was not a sign of attaining the pinnacle of a sect leader.

Some people did not only raised their doubts, and with Xuan Yi's absence from the duel in the river region, the voices of doubt grew louder and louder. Even some people, who originally supported Xuan Yi for the sake of the south bright tower, had begun to waver.

To be a strong contender in the sect leader realm at the age of twenty over years was already an existence of an ultimate talent.

And now to tell them that this mid-term pract.i.tioner in the sect master realm even possesses the explosive powers of an early-stage sage.

In the tens of thousands of years of history of the southern continent, they had never seen such a monster!

It was difficult for people not to doubt. Furthermore, Xuan Yi had not partic.i.p.ated in any battle at all and hence had no achievements to show for. In the face of doubt, he did not even have a single explanation.

In the eyes of everyone, this was a typical act of guilt.

"Have you heard? The power of Xuan Yi, who is ranked first on the Yuan roll, is exaggerated!"

As the saying goes, a group of three makes a tiger.

The various factions of powerful and informative merchants were also happy to blow the matter up. Hence, the words that Dao Zheng had said before he left "He's as timid as a mouse." quickly spread throughout the entire southern continent.

"A normal martial artist should not be afraid of the heavenly battle. How can he be so timid?"

"That means there's something wrong with Xuan Yi's strength!"

"He's a coward. How can such a person be qualified to enter the Sect Leader realm!"

"We strongly demand Xuan Yi to be removed from the origin roll!"

Everyone called out, in consideration for the prestige of the refined Saint Academy.

They even wanted to form groups to enter into the refined Saint Academy and question Xuan Yi face-to-face.

Xuan Yi completely ignored the doubtful voices and instead focused on his practice and look for the moment to break through the Sage realm.

At this moment, Sun Sheng, the vice princ.i.p.al of the refined Saint Academy braced himself to walk up to Xuan Yi and try to persuade Xuan Yi to explain.

Xuan Yi's appearance on the origin roll carried the t.i.tle of a teacher of the refined Saint Academy. If everyone felt that Xuan Yi's strength was fake, even the reputation of the refined Saint Academy would be tarnished.

Xuan Yi's expression did not change as he was focused on practice in his own realm. He would not be bothered with it as he had planned to go beyond the sage realm.

So what if he had won or lost?

If he really cared about it, would he still want to continue the practice?

Sun Sheng was in a difficult situation. As a sage who had fought with Xuan Yi before, he knew that Xuan Yi was far stronger than what was rumored in the outside world.

The early stage of the Sage realm was probably about Xuan Yi's sword.

He, too, would not be bothered with those people if he had such powers. But recently, there had been indistinct groups of people gathered at the entrance of the Zhongsheng Academy.

Although there were not many of them, Sun Sheng, with the many years of experience as the vice princ.i.p.al of the Zhongsheng Academy, knew that these people were definitely going to cause trouble again.

Logically speaking, the correct way to deal with these words was to put shelve them aside. However, recently, someone had been lingering at the Academy's entrance. "I reckon that someone is behind this whole matter. I think it's not over yet."

What Sun Sheng had said was not wrong. Since ancient times, fame and fortune were linked to benefits. Xuan Yi, had suddenly came first on the Yuan roll. Someone must have contributed to this and it must have involved the benefits of unknown number of people.

But what did the whole thing have to do with him?

The Yuan roll ranking.

Did he care?
