Chapter 1424: The Competition Begins
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Qi Yan, you should tell those above from the side." This is the right way to have a clear conscience.
Qi Yan nodded and left early.
The next ten days were the ranking matches, and Su Yuanyuan only went once before stopping.
Many people thought this woman was too arrogant.
She didn’t care what others said. After the ten days ended, the rankings from eleven to twenty were announced.
Now, it was time for the top ten to be decided. There was still a lottery, and all the sect disciples were alike, with Xuantian Sect being number five.
The first round was the arena match, which meant one arena per sect. The remaining ones could challenge; winning the ten rounds meant successfully defending the arena. The sect occupying the most arenas would be the top three, with the others ranked from fourth to tenth.
Yao Chenyi was the first to defend his arena. It was incredibly important to defend one’s arena. The rest went to challenge.
"Junior Sister Su, what do you think?"
"I can challenge the Beast Taming Sect or the Sword Sect."
"How about challenging the Sword Sect?" Feng Jingyuan asked.
Su Yuanyuan nodded; she had no objections. She would definitely defend her arena successfully.
The Golden Core Stage matches had also started on their end, just the same.
Tan Shaoting wouldn’t defend the arena; he could only challenge. Liu Xiaozhu was the first to defend.
They all had the same thought — their arena mustn’t be lost.
The Qi Refinement Realm had the same scenario, with Spirit Seven Peak’s Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, Dong Hongyi, defending.
Qi Wen went to challenge a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection cultivator from the Sword Sect.
The match began, and Su Yuanyuan directly ascended to the Sword Sect’s Foundation Establishment stage arena.
"Xuantian Sect’s Su Yuanyuan."
"Sword Sect’s Zhang Shengyuan."
"Please guide me, Mr. Zhang."
"Please, Su." Surprised that she was Nephew Tan’s mother.
Looking gentle and soft, yet it’s hard to attack.
"Lost," Canjian Daojun Sun Qingjie reluctantly said.
Tianyan Daojun chuckled. This young one was very interesting; she knew when people used Divine Sense to watch them and would sometimes set up a Spiritual Power Shield.
Both were sword cultivators, one from the Sword Sect and one from the Xuantian Sect, drawing much attention.
"I say, how come your sect’s youngster isn’t from our Sword Sect? They all seem to use swords."
Tianyan Daojun didn’t care to deal with him, looking decent but actually just short-tempered. Not sure why the Sword Sect sent him this time.
Su Yuanyuan was currently at Late-stage Foundation Establishment, though against a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, she was still lacking. But for the swordsmanship duel now, she didn’t use the Green Water Sword Technique.
Both seemed evenly matched, and bets were already set below. Su Yuanyuan’s odds weren’t low, at one to five.
But the family had no time, though Feng Yan did — he bet ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones on Su Yuanyuan directly.
The battle was intense. Su Yuanyuan wasn’t in a hurry, but Zhang Shengyuan was. Arena defenders had no explicit rest, and if unscrupulous ones went for a quick win again, he’d struggle to hold, so he had to speed up.
Su Yuanyuan understood Zhang Shengyuan’s thing, speeding up as well.
She knew what Zhang Shengyuan worried about, had seen through his moves, and accelerated even more.
"Lost, lost, truly embarrassing, losing to a woman."
"Shut up; keep babbling, and I’ll hit you." Tianyan Daojun was really left with no choice.
Su Yuanyuan used a move, knocking Zhang Shengyuan down.
Zhang Shengyuan still dazed, most aware the woman didn’t even use full power or intend harm.
He got up, cupped his fists, and left. Truly embarrassing — he had to win back face.
After the referee declared, Su Yuanyuan drank a cup of Spiritual Spring Water, directly sat on the arena; that’s the proper state.
Feng Yan laughed heartily, received his fifty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Junior Sister Su really didn’t let him down.
The losers mumbled against Zhang Shengyuan, a Piaomiao Sect Late-stage Foundation Establishment lost ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, angrily went up Su Yuanyuan’s arena.
"Piaomiao Sect’s Sun Yixiu challenges Su."
Su Yuanyuan stood and returned the gesture, "Please."
The betting started again below, this time odds at one to two, but Feng Yan threw in twenty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
Once Su Yuanyuan discerned Sun Yixiu’s moves, she promptly knocked him down.
Divinity Transformation Ancestor from the stands were all focused here.
"Tianyan, your young one truly excels."
"She’s okay."
"You’re boasting? I recall you joined a Foundation Establishment arena, were you as good as her?"
Wang Mingyi exposed wasn’t angry. That’s the fact.
Receiving Spirit Stones, Feng Yan was approached by Liu Yan Yue, "Senior Brother Feng, you earned quite a bit from Junior Sister Su. Shouldn’t you share some with her?"
"Split evenly."
"Senior Brother Feng, you said it."
"Of course."
Su Yuanyuan remained seated, hardly expended energy, simply meditated.
"This woman is formidable! I’ll go challenge her."
Piaomiao Sect’s Wang Lanxing ascended the arena.
Birou Fairy watched from below, feeling embarrassed. Though no explicit rest rule for arena defenders, people generally allow recovery time.
Piaomiao Sect’s two were embarrassingly impolite.
"Piaomiao Sect’s Wang Lanxing challenges Su."
"Mr. Wang, please."
Wang Lanxing was even less than Sun Yixiu and quickly got knocked down.
Piaomiao Sect truly embarrassed itself now. The elders were nearly ready to strangle those two, utterly disgraceful.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t sit this time, not out of underestimating Wang Lanxing, just not exhausted; another challenge would come, standing was troublesome.
Yet Wang Lanxing below thought she was contemptuous.
Qi Wen took on the Sword Sect’s arena too, using her sword, quickly winning.
Qi Hong straightforwardly defended her arena. Most sects showed respect to the Medicine Sect, with few challenging. Qi Hong leisurely watched her siblings.
Qi Yan challenged a cultivator from the Talisman Sect, soon standing on the arena.
The Qi Refinement Realm siblings all kept their arenas now.
The third challenge against Su Yuanyuan came from Artifact Sect’s Foundation Establishment Perfection.
"Artifact Sect’s Zhang Hai challenges Su."
Su Yuanyuan returned the gesture, "Mr. Zhang, please."
She found Zhang Hai loathsome, acting honest yet full of vile intent.
