Chapter 523: Top Ten Rankings in the Sword Tower!
“Boss Su Yi.”
Around ten outer disciples greeted Su Yi warmly upon seeing him, following the example set by Zhang Qing and the others.
Su Yi recognized these disciples. He, along with Zhang Qing, Wang Fan, and others, had originally been outer disciples of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak. However, they had never crossed paths within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. They hadn’t even been able to leave after the exit was opened. Only at the end were they brought out by the Divine Sword School’s experts.
During each Grand Swordsmanship Competition, some disciples struggle to find their way out of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, requiring the Divine Sword School’s experts to rescue them.
Upon seeing Su Yi, these disciples were filled with excitement and warmth, but they also carried a heavy sense of regret. They had heard about the feats of Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, Wang Fan, and the others, and they felt the immense aura surrounding them. They knew that Zhang Qing and the others had always been with Su Yi, receiving his protection and care, and benefiting from continuous opportunities that led to progress beyond imagination. Unfortunately, they hadn’t been so fortunate and felt a deep sense of regret.
Su Yi nodded as a gesture of acknowledgment. He had initially been concerned about any unforeseen incidents that might occur to these disciples within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. However, now it seemed that everything was going smoothly, with no major mishaps so far.
“We should head out now. Elder Su probably won’t go to Spirit Sword Peak,” Xu Jiahui spoke. Although several duels were scheduled for Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak today, given Elder Su’s usual behavior, he likely wouldn’t be visiting Spirit Sword Peak either.
Su Yi had been wondering whether Elder Su would accompany them, but it seemed unlikely now.
After a moment, Su Yi summoned the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle that had been following closely behind. With Zhang Qing and a group of about ten people, they headed towards Spirit Sword Peak.
Spirit Sword Peak had always been the site of major events at the Divine Sword School. Most disciple duels and school events were typically held there.
It was said that powerful individuals had set up restrictions on Spirit Sword Peak, making it impervious to even the strongest abilities.
Among the Divine Sword School’s seventy-two peaks, the notable ones were Sky Sword Peak, Sword-hiding Peak, Spirit Sword Peak, Fifteen Profound Sword Peak, Eighteen Path Sword Peak, and the Thirty-Six Sword Peaks.
Sky Sword Peak served as the main peak, while Sword-hiding Peak housed martial arts techniques, swordsmanship, and precious swords. Fifteen Profound Sword Peak, rich in celestial and earthly energies, was the training ground for the school’s elder disciples.
The Eighteen Path Sword Peaks were shrouded in mystery. It was rumored that these peaks housed the most elite disciples of the Divine Sword School, and only on rare occasions would direct disciples be summoned there for secluded training.
“Wow, it seems quite lively today!” Zhang Qing exclaimed from atop the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle, his eyes fixed on the dense crowds of disciples below and those flying on demon beasts in mid-air. His admiration was palpable.
“Of course, today is a grand event that only occurs once every five years. I’ve heard that many senior brothers and sisters, as well as some disciples who are away, will be returning,” Liu Ji said.
“Today is the ultimate disciples’ duel of our generation. Every participant is a prodigy with extraordinary talent. The Sword Tower rankings will likely undergo a major reshuffle, but it’s still uncertain who will claim the top spot!” Qing Chao eagerly expressed, filled with anticipation.
This final duel directly impacted the Sword Tower rankings, and there would certainly be shifts in the top standings.
“The first place could be yours, Boss Su Yi. Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng are indeed powerful, but you are even stronger!” Zhang Qing said confidently.
A month ago, Zhang Qing would never have imagined Su Yi competing alongside figures like Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng. However, now, he believed Su Yi had a real chance.
“Of course, Boss Su Yi is bound for greatness today!” Qing Chao, Wang Fan, Liu Ji, and the others wholeheartedly agreed, believing in Su Yi’s ability to compete.
Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and others had been inside the mysterious space for a long time, unaware of everything Su Yi and Situ Muyang had experienced since then. Otherwise, they would realize Su Yi’s capabilities were far beyond just the ability to compete.
Su Yi remained silent, a faint smile on his face. Though he had been reincarnated, he was still young in this life. Despite being three or four years younger than the direct disciples, Su Yi’s mindset from his previous life fueled his competitive spirit.
The grand event of the day, driven by youthful energy, stirred his own fervor.
“Brother Su Yi, do you feel confident?” Xu Jiahui asked, her clear eyes sparkling with curiosity.
“I’ve said it before. I must claim first place. The points you gave me will be returned a hundredfold!” Su Yi said with a confident smile.
He had borrowed Xu Jiahui’s points to understand the Divine Sword Cliff. He had promised to repay her when the time came.
“Definitely aiming for first place…” Hearing this and seeing the confidence in Su Yi’s eyes, Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, and others felt a bit helpless. Could he really believe that prodigies like Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng were easily defeated?
“What you’ve given me has already exceeded a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold.”
Xu Jiahui responded, recalling how much Su Yi had given her. The Sword-patterned Stones alone had earned her substantial points from the Divine Sword School. The points from just over a dozen Sword-patterned Stones already surpassed a hundredfold, maybe even a thousandfold.
Most importantly, everything Su Yi had offered her inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords couldn’t be quantified by mere points.
“Boss Su Yi, with your strength, even if you don’t take first place, you’ll definitely secure a spot in the top ten.”
Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, and the others spoke, worried that Su Yi might fall short of first place. They hoped to give him an escape route.
The group of about ten continued chatting as they made their way to Spirit Sword Peak.
Soon, from Zhang Qing and the others, Su Yi learned about the rankings on the Sword Tower.
There were many rankings on the Sword Tower, but he paid close attention to the top ten.
Qin Fang, ranked tenth on the Sword Tower.
Zhang Diyun, ranked ninth on the Sword Tower.
Jiang Xiwen, ranked eighth on the Sword Tower.
Nan Liran, ranked seventh on the Sword Tower.
Gong Qi, ranked sixth on the Sword Tower.
Ying Qianqian, ranked fifth on the Sword Tower.
Gu Chenyou, ranked fourth on the Sword Tower.
Ou Luo, ranked third on the Sword Tower.
Yun Lingfeng, ranked second on the Sword Tower.
Liu Yunchuan, ranked first on the Sword Tower.
Su Yi was familiar with several of these top-ten disciples, having interacted with some before, including Zhang Diyun, Gong Qi, Ying Qianqian, and Yun Lingfeng.
“It’s Su Yi!”
“Also, there’s Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji…”
Flying demon beasts passed by, and some disciples noticed Su Yi and others. Their gazes shifted, accompanied by murmurs of discussion.
“It seems like they’re talking about us…” Zhang Qing said, feeling a bit excited. He had once imagined being the center of attention among the disciples of the Divine Sword School, and now, it seemed that dream had come true.
The towering peaks stretched endlessly, layer upon layer of green-clad mountains rising into the sky. Looking from the foot of the mountain to its peak, the view seemed to stretch on forever.
