Chapter 54

Cloudy Sky Peak.

The rain gradually became lighter. A gentle ray of sunlight appeared between the clouds in the distance, giving off a hazy hue like an ink painting.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the rain.

After the violent storm, the two figures on the martial arena seemed to be tall and straight.

The audience held their breaths.

"You … won."

Duan Xiaolong's words broke the silence.

As for the disciples, their faces were filled with doubts, as if they had not had enough yet.

Duan Xiaolong coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body began to sway. The other disciples were so shocked that they cried out involuntarily.

"He lost!"

"Duan Xiaolong lost?"

Some disciples seemed to be in a daze, as if they could not accept the reality.

Indeed.

Duan Xiaolong was a legend in the outer sect.

Two years ago, he was able to reach the top of the outer sect. He was the uncrowned king of the outer sect.

It was said that.

Duan Xiaolong's talent was average. He was only a Half-Spirit Body. However, his comprehension was amazing. He chose the Thunder Blade, which was extremely difficult to learn, and spent most of his time outside. He used the name of a mission to comprehend the storm and thunder.

There were many disciples who admired Duan Xiaolong.

"Senior Brother Duan's slash was extremely powerful. How could he lose?"

"That slash displayed some of the true meaning of the Thunder Blade, and it was even more powerful in the stormy weather."

Some of the disciples could not understand.

Why did Duan Xiaolong lose?

In terms of momentum, Duan Xiaolong's slash seemed to be slightly stronger than Chen Yu's punch.

"As expected of Duan Xiaolong. You're also a Half-Spirit Body, but you were able to reach this stage. The power of that slash was slightly stronger than my Fist Force Condensed Fiend. "

Chen Yu took a deep breath.

This was the first time he had been injured by someone since he formed the Bronze Statue Skill.

Duan Xiaolong was the first.

Some of the elders of the Sect, including the Sect Master of Yunyue, were shocked by the stunning exchange between the two.

"Fist Force Condensed Fiend! This level of martial arts. Even a normal Viscera Refinement cultivator would find it difficult to do so, unless he mastered the Cloud Fiend Fist and comprehended some true meaning. "

"Duan Xiaolong comprehended a little bit of the Thunder Intent. That saber strike just now contained traces of the might of thunder and lightning. "

Some of the elders and higher-ups exclaimed.

Even if it was within the inner court, it was extremely rare for someone to be able to condense fists energy and comprehend the slightest bit of Lightning Concept.

Yet, these two had appeared at the same time in the pinnacle battle of the Outer Sanctum.

"Duan Xiaolong's stunning attack was defeated?"

The white-bearded Southern Palace Elder murmured.

In his opinion, Duan Xiaolong's saber strike was even more powerful with the help of the right time and place.

"You and I should understand. In a true life and death battle, sometimes, it wasn't a matter of whose attack was stronger that would survive. We can only say that we underestimated the power of the Bronze Statue Skill. "

Elder Mao chuckled.

That was right.

Elder Nan Gong nodded. He naturally understood this logic.

Duan Xiaolong's strike was slightly stronger than Chen Yu's due to the advantage of his Qi cultivation and the windy and rainy weather, which increased the power of the Thunder Blade.

However, he was only slightly better in terms of attack.

However …

In terms of defense, Duan Xiaolong was much weaker than Chen Yu.

Both of them had unleashed the power of a higher level, and their power was about the same.

And the result was …

Duan Xiaolong was heavily injured and spat out blood; Chen Yu only suffered some external injuries, which was nothing to his strong self-healing body.

There was another unknown point.

Duan Xiaolong could only unleash that kind of cross-level attack once or twice. If he was heavily injured the first time, it would be difficult for him to unleash it a second time.

Chen Yu was different.

He felt that the attack of condensed fists energy could be unleashed a few more times without much of a problem. At most, he would be slightly weakened afterwards.

This was similar to the wooden bucket effect. The amount of water a bucket could hold depended on its shortest piece of wood.

"Number 44, Chen Yu wins. He is temporarily ranked first."

The black-robed old man took a deep look at Chen Yu before tapping his finger on the formation board.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu's name jumped to the first place and became the only first place.

Although it was' temporarily ranked first ', everyone knew that after Chen Yu defeated Nangong Li and Duan Xiaolong, he was already the first among the outer disciples!

In fact, he could even be considered as an inner disciple.

According to the Sect's Ancestral Rule, as long as one was ranked first in the competition, he would automatically become an inner disciple.

"Chen Yu actually succeeded …"

Below the stage, Yuefeng, Tong Yuling, Hu Yiba, and the others had complicated expressions on their faces. Some were gratified, and some were emotional.

Yuefeng, in particular, had the most complicated feelings.

Since the battle with the Iron Brown Bear, he had witnessed Chen Yu's growth from a rookie to the miracle of becoming the first among the outer disciples.

Powerhouses all started as rookies.

Thinking back to the time when Chen Yu faced the Iron Brown Bear for the first time, he was in such a sorry state.

"How is this possible … He actually became the first …"

Wang Lingyun almost couldn't stand steadily. A wave of panic arose in her heart, and she was momentarily alarmed.

He actually made an enemy out of such an opponent?

Judging from the battle just now, it would be easy for Chen Yu to kill him in an instant.

Wang Lingyun's heart turned cold. After Chen Yu became an inner disciple, how was he going to establish himself in the Sect?

"Am I going to lose just like this? No! I can't accept this! "

Wang Lingyun took a deep breath.

A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. "Chen Yu, you must have a great secret on you. I will definitely find it!"

At this moment.

Wang Lingyun, who had been utterly defeated, found an opportunity to defeat Chen Yu.

…

The outer disciple competition was not over yet.

Chen Yu's consecutive victories over Nangong Li and Duan Xiaolong only confirmed his position as the first.

After that, he still had to determine the top three, top ten, and top twenty rankings. Especially the top three and top ten, there were still many intense battles.

"Brother Yu, you really did it."

Tears welled up in Mu Xueqing's eyes. Her face was brimming with happiness, giving off a pure beauty.

Chen Yu had defeated Nangong Li and Duan Xiaolong consecutively. He had created miracles time and time again and reached the peak of the outer disciples.

Witnessing this scene, her wish had come true. It was like a dream.

"I'll help you bandage your wound."

Mu Xueqing looked at the bruises and blood on Chen Yu's shoulder. She couldn't bear to do it.

Slap!

However, when her hand reached his shoulder, it was subconsciously slapped away by Chen Yu.

That powerful force caused Mu Xueqing's jade-like hand to feel a burning sensation as her body swayed.

Although Chen Yu did it subconsciously and didn't use any force, it was still quite powerful.

"Brother Yu, you …"

Mu Xueqing's body froze and she looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.

Could it be.

Chen Yu had become famous in the competition and became an inner disciple. His vision had become higher and he had already fallen in love with someone else. Or maybe he was still holding a grudge.

"Xueqing, don't misunderstand —"

Chen Yu felt helpless.

He just didn't want his abnormal self-healing ability to be exposed in public.

At this moment.

The blood and bruises on Chen Yu's shoulder were just a cover. The wound inside had already healed and even the marks were fading.

"Hmph! Chen brat, if you bully Xueqing, don't blame me for bullying you. "

A cold male voice interrupted Chen Yu's words.

The Seventh Princes, dressed in a gorgeous robe, had unknowingly appeared behind the two of them.

Whoosh!

A storm-like aura pressed down on Chen Yu's body, causing his expression to change and his breathing to stagnate.

"Organs Refinement Stage, at least the late stage!"

Chen Yu shuddered and couldn't help but look at the man beside Mu Xueqing.

In his ears, the surrounding disciples whispered to the Seventh Princes, Huang Fulin and others.

Seventh Princes, Huang Fulin!

The identity of this gorgeous robed man shocked the audience.

"Huang Fulin, isn't he one of our sect's true disciples?"

"With his identity, he actually came to watch the 'Outer Disciple Competition'. It seems like he is standing up for Mu Xueqing."

The crowd of disciples was ignited with the flames of gossip.

Chen Yu, Mu Xueqing, Seventh Princes.

What kind of entanglement did these three people have?

"Seventh Princes? I'm sorry, this is a private matter between me and Junior Sister Mu. As an outsider, don't interfere. "

Chen Yu didn't back down.

"How dare you …"

Seventh Princes, who had always been graceful, showed sullen anger and said in a deep voice, "In my Chu Country, your Chen family is just a small force."

Threat?

Chen Yu was indeed afraid, but he wasn't a fool.

No matter how strong the Chu Country's royal family was, no matter how great their influence was, it was only limited to the secular world.

In Kunyun Continent, the Sect was the ruler!

Now, Chen Yu was already an inner disciple of Yunyue Sect. Under the same sect, it was a big taboo for the Seventh Princes to take revenge on his family for no reason.

After all, many members of the Sect, including elders and hall masters, had secular families behind them.

"And Junior Sister Mu, we have already parted ways. I hope you won't give me any trouble in the future. I will return those two Energy Recovery Pills to you. "

Chen Yu said seriously.

All kinds of trouble brought by Mu Xueqing really annoyed Chen Yu.

Before he reached the top, he wore the hat of "living off a woman" for a long time, attracting all kinds of inexplicable enemies, and now there was a Seventh Princes.

If things went wrong, this might really bring the danger of the Chen Family being exterminated!

"You …"

Mu Xueqing's delicate body shook, and her bright face was dull and in disbelief.

This was not the Brother Chen Yu who used to be obedient to her.

Especially the unfamiliar title of "Junior Sister Mu", it made Mu Xueqing feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she couldn't say a thousand words.

At this moment.

Her eyes were red, and she wanted to cry and say that the previous separation was due to the pressure of the family. In the first one or two years after entering the outer sect, the family kept pressuring Xueqing, and she could only stay aloof in the face of your pursuit.

Then.

When Xueqing saw you being suppressed and humiliated in the Sect, she couldn't bear it.

If she insisted, not only would it delay her own future, but it would also make her beloved suffer more.

It was better to persuade you to go back to the secular world and go our separate ways.

Now that you and I have entered the inner sect, we can advance in martial arts together, and there is hope to break the shackles of the secular world.

Why.

Now you won't even give me a chance?

In the end.

Mu Xueqing didn't say a word, and she floated away.

"Xueqing!"

The Seventh Princes glared at Chen Yu and chased after her.

Chen Yu stared at Mu Xueqing's departure, and after a long time, he heaved a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

This little interlude didn't affect the ending of the "outer sect competition", and the following challenges were fiercely unfolding.

Finally.

The ranking competition came to an end.

In the last battle, Nangong Li lost to Duan Xiaolong by a hair's breadth, and they were ranked second and third.

Swoosh!

The ranking of the disciples on the array board was clear at a glance:

First place: Chen Yu

Second place: Duan Xiaolong

Third place: Nangong Li

Fourth place: Tong Yuling

Fifth place: Yuefeng

Sixth place: Hu Yiba

Seventh place: Yuan Beitong

Eighth place: Cheng Yun

Ninth place: Huang Yuan

Tenth place: Cao Lei
