Chapter 14: As Long as There Is Love, Even Swords Don’t Matter (1)
Bai Lian monopolized nine-tenths of the reputation of Qiongming Peak.
It sounds cruel.
But this is an indisputable fact!
In the Duxian Sect, you may not have heard of the name An Lan, but you would definitely have heard of the great name of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
[Although Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian doesn’t often appear in the Duxian Sect, legends about her are spread everywhere in the sect.]
Whether it’s walking, eating, bathing, or even going to the toilet…
You can hear the phrase “Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian” anywhere.
Originally, Bai Lian was only the Elder Martial Sister of Qiongming Peak.
After all, she had only started cultivating six years ago.
As her radiance grew brighter, now, even without saying a word, no one dares to call themselves the Duxian Sect’s Elder Martial Sister.
“Elder? Stop fooling around. You can see for yourself that compared to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, I’m nothing!”
This “throne” of Elder Martial Sister rightfully belongs to Bai Lian.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is as high as the peak of the sky.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is as vast as an endless sea.
Can an ordinary person truly understand the depth and shallowness of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian?
Although Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is good, her few Martial Sisters…
[Good] [Good] [Good]
This is a strength assessment given by a disciple named Bai Xiaosheng.
There were a total of 527 “new” disciples participating in this grand competition.
Bai Xiaosheng divided the strength of these 527 people into three levels: “Excellent”, “Good”, and “Average.”
In his words, the philosophy of a contestant ranked “Average” is: “Participation is paramount.”
“Getting into the second round will be a success!”
As for those rated “Good”:
“As long as I perform normally, with a bit of luck, I can make it into the top 64. Every round I advance will be a gain.”
The focus is on those rated as “Excellent.”
Everybody was discussing the likes of Wen Ren Ya Le, Zeng Mengyu, and Tang Chenyue.
“This means they have the strength to win the championship!” Bai Xiaosheng said.
No matter when or where, everyone is enthusiastic about rankings.
The Duxian Sect’s disciples were no exception.
Overall, Bai Xiaosheng’s ratings were quite objective, earning him the following of many.
However, there were some objections.
For example, some believed Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s Martial Sisters should be promoted to the “Excellent” grade.
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head. “This is wrong. We all know how capable Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is, and we also know that Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s Second Martial Sister won first place in the entrance exam. But we must admit, their cultivation time is still too short. Two years. The next grand competition will be their time to shine.”
“Sure.”
“This is really ‘reluctant.'”
“Well analyzed!”
“Master, I understand!”
After several rounds of discussion, more and more people supported Bai Xiaosheng, and a crowd gathered in front of the rating board he had set up, pointing and discussing.
Suddenly, someone asked, “Bai Xiaosheng, who do you think has the highest probability of winning the championship?”
Bai Xiaosheng gently waved his fan.
He walked with a smile, exuding a master’s confidence.
A moment later, he slowly uttered four words: “Martial Brother Tang Chenyue!”
Someone immediately came forward to support his words.
“Martial Brother Tang is unbeatable!”
“Brothers, trust me. Support Martial Brother Tang Chenyue!”
“Since becoming friends with Martial Brother Tang, I no longer have to worry about my girlfriend being cheated by other men. Without any worries, even my cultivation speed has increased by thirty percent. I will give Martial Brother Tang these one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones as a thank-you gift.”
“Dang it, I want to be friends with Martial Brother Tang too!”
Amid loud shouts, countless people surged toward the nearby betting counters.
One for you, one for me.
In less than half an hour, Martial Brother Tang Chenyue became a “topstreamer” among the participants.
Bai Lian, “…”
Is this the charm of The Warrior of Pure Love?
In recent days, the living space of NTR Lovers has been increasingly compressed.
At the same time, the host overseeing the duel between Yu Ying and an unknown female disciple began introducing the backgrounds of both sides.
“Go for it, Fourth Elder Martial Sister!”
Ling Xuan stood on the stone bench, waving the support stick vigorously that Bai Lian had prepared beforehand.
“Be careful, don’t fall.”
Bai Lian immediately supported the Fifth Martial Sister’s slim and strong waist, preventing her from slipping and bumping her forehead.
She was still very reassured about the Fourth Martial Sister.
The outside world had many unfavorable voices because they knew nothing about the Fourth Martial Sister’s true cultivation base.
But that was the Nascent Soul Stage!
The massive gap in cultivation base was enough to make up for the Fourth Martial Sister’s lack of battle experience.
Unless the Fourth Martial Sister encountered opponents at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, otherwise, her battle should be very one-sided.
“The competition begins!”
The cry of the host rang out.
The female disciple standing opposite Yu Ying launched an attack, her sword turning into thousands of lights. She tried to sweep Yu Ying off the platform with her Unending Sword Array.
The wind and thunder resounded.
In a breath, the arena was filled with thick dark clouds.
“This move from Martial Sister Zhou Rui is not an ordinary sword technique!”
The commentator might be late, but he absolutely wouldn’t miss it.
“The Unending Sword Array is a highly difficult spell to master. It excels in overwhelming attacks like waves, but its real killing intent lies in the hidden mental strike within the momentum.”
Really.
Bai Lian nodded.
Lower-level spells typically rely on the user’s level of control over spirit Qi.
But the Unending Sword Array incorporated the use of Divine Sense, drastically enhancing its power by almost a factor of two.
However, it’s a pity.
Zhou Rui’s Golden Core is not very stable; it seems she only just broke through the Golden Core Stage.
The vast difference in skill between them made Zhou Rui’s sword strikes appear to Yu Ying like they were in slow motion.
Yu Ying is an “honest person.”
Honest people have never been very adept at socializing.
After discovering the flaws in Zhou Rui, she had no intention of playing around.
What’s the point of toying with her?
Isn’t that tantalizing?
Better to go straight for the win.
“One move to decide the winner!”
Yu Ying was still hoping to finish the competition quickly and offer moral support to her two Elder Martial Sisters.
Facing the sword-light coming from all directions, she remained motionless.
“Move, Martial Sister Yu Ying!”
The crowd anxiously shouted.
Is Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s Fourth Martial Sister going to be defeated by one sword strike?
No, no.
They want to see an intense girl-on-girl fight, not one side defeated in a single move!
The best scenario would be for both to be so exhausted they can barely breathe, sweating profusely, and ultimately forced to determine the winner by willpower and physical endurance.
Unfortunately, their cheers of anticipation couldn’t reach the stage.
This wasn’t just any ordinary challenge arena.
It used advanced Spirit Tools to draw a small formation. Even an attack from a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would have difficulty breaking it.
In the arena boundary…
Seeing her sword about to pierce Yu Ying, a smile appeared on Zhou Rui’s face.
For a moment, she wondered if she should show mercy.
After all, the opponent was Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s Martial Sister.
If she won too quickly, the impact might not look so good.
But eventually, she dismissed the thought.
The key was to secure victory firmly.
This competition wasn’t only about the championship reward. Zhou Rui would also gain many sect points for every round she advanced.
“Look at it, the white waves are boundless and connected with the sea!”
Amid the shrill cries, Zhou Rui’s long-accumulated sword skills erupted in an instant.
