Chapter 2370
2370 Fearless
Even though Zhuo fanglin’s strength and realm had not increased at all ever since he had advanced, his battle prowess had improved by leaps and bounds. He had sparred with a few of his fellow sect members, and all of them had won with a single move. His ego was even greater than before, and he stood in the crowd and looked left and right, feeling as if he was a crane standing among a flock of chickens. Noticing Ling Chuxi’s gaze, Zhuo fanglin turned his head around and exchanged a glance with her.
It was very strange that Ling Chuxi did not see the fear in his eyes that he usually did. Instead, there was a hint of provocation.
Xie Feiying stood calmly beside Zhuo fanglin. When she saw Ling Chuxi, she did not show the slightest fear. On the contrary, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes. She had personally witnessed Zhuo fanglin’s battle with others, and the might of the seven fiends technique had shocked even her to the point of disbelief. Jie Feiying was now full of confidence in Zhuo fanglin. Below the sage level, other than Feng lengsong, no one would be his match. As for Ling Chuxi, it was better for her to just stand aside.
Originally, she was still worried about the arranged battle with Ling Chuxi. Now, she was not worried at all. With Zhuo fanglin, was there still a need for her to make a move?
“No, something’s wrong!” Seeing the changes in Zhuo fanglin and Jie Feiying, Ling Chuxi realized that something was not right.
Ling Chuxi released her divine sense and quietly observed the two of them. Other than the two of them having the cultivation of the sage level, she did not find any abnormalities. However, there must be a reason for these two people to be so fearless.
At this time, seeing that all the disciples participating in the competition had arrived below the stage, elder Tong began to announce the rules.
Ethereal sect residence’s three divisions would not be eliminated in groups. Instead, they would first choose a disciple to become the ring master, and the disciples of the other two divisions would issue a challenge. If no one challenged them, they would randomly choose a disciple from these two divisions to challenge them. The winner would advance to the next round, and the loser would be eliminated immediately.
In the end, the total number of wins these disciples had would determine the outcome of the three divisions.
However, in order to prevent the emergence of too strong Masters from a certain line of disciples, who would suppress all the other disciples as soon as they appeared, and determine the final victory and defeat with their own strength, there were restrictions on the drawing of lots and the challenges. At the beginning, only the outer sect disciples would have the chance to go on stage, and only after all the outer sect disciples had lost would the inner sect disciples have the opportunity to go on stage.
This rule was still considered reasonable. However, Ling Chuxi was slightly disappointed. She had originally wanted to see if anyone would place a bet and earn some snacks for the little yellow chick at the same time. However, her hopes had been dashed. The pace of such a tag-team battle was too fast, and there was no time to place any bets.
Of course, even if they were eliminated in groups, the ethereal sect residence would probably not allow anyone to turn the solemn competition of the three lineages into an underground gambling den.
“Mr. Yue, I would like to invite you to draw lots for this three meridians competition. What do you think?” After announcing the rules, elder Tong asked Yue Jianqing to draw lots to show fairness.
In fact, the best candidate was granny Ling, but she was sitting on a high stool and munching on melon seeds. She obviously didn’t have the time.
“It’s my honor that elder Tong thinks so highly of me. ” Yue Jianqing cleared her throat and said to the crowd below the stage,”I’m grateful that elder Tong thinks highly of me and invited me to draw lots. In that case, I’ll return the favor. In this competition of the three lineages, if anyone performs well, I’ll personally teach him the sword whisper Manor’s sword techniques and spells. I hope that everyone will work hard.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place was in an uproar. At this time, they already knew Yue Jianqing’s identity. Among the guests who came today, Yue Jianqing was the strongest. Even the sword whisper Manor, a fourth rank family, had placed all their hopes of advancing to the third rank on him. To be able to receive his personal guidance was a rare opportunity.
