Chapter 559: Su Yi’s Victory!
“Who won?”
All eyes were fixed on the arena, their hearts filled with anticipation.
Especially Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the other disciples, whose eyes were wide with excitement.
On the elevated platform, the elders and Dharma Protectors gripped their hands tightly, though they did so imperceptibly.
Throughout Spirit Sword Peak, not even a single bird or squirrel could be heard. Everything was calm and silent, as if all activity had ceased.
Two young figures faced each other from afar on the stage of confrontation, creating an inexplicable air of tension.
All eyes fell upon the slender boy and graceful girl at this moment, causing hearts to tighten and breaths to halt in anticipation.
From these two young individuals, the entire audience witnessed what it truly meant to possess extraordinary talent.
“Thump thump…”
Suddenly, as Mu Yao rose to her feet, she caught sight of a quiver in Su Yi’s golden eyes. Startled, she staggered backward several steps. The corners of her already pale lips were stained with a faint trace of golden blood, adding a touch of tragic beauty.
The outcome had been decided!
“Mu Yao lost!”
On the elevated platform, the elders and Dharma Protectors felt their hearts ease as they released their worries.
They knew in their hearts that Mu Yao had lost. This definitively settled the outcome!
“May the heavens bless the Divine Sword School. This time, the Divine Sword School shall prosper greatly!”
In the elders’ eyes, a mixture of emotions surged, revealing both deep sadness and thrilling excitement that they could hardly contain.
The outcome on the duel platform was no longer of great importance. This time, the young disciples who emerged in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition were truly remarkable. Especially Su Yi, Mu Yao, Yun Lingfeng, and Liu Yunchuan—these four individuals were incredibly outstanding.
In the Divine Sword School, where exceptional talents had been rare for thousands of years, a truly extraordinary event had occurred. Four remarkable individuals had emerged at once.
Particularly Su Yi and Mu Yao—their skills were so amazing that if word spread, it could shake the entire Central Region!
Elder Su’s tightly clenched hand relaxed slightly. On his weathered face, there was a fleeting hint of a hidden smile in his eyes, which quickly disappeared as he returned to his usual expression.
Under countless stares, Mu Yao regained her balance on the duel platform, brushing away the traces of blood from the corner of her mouth with a flick of her sleeve. Her golden eyes remained fixed intently on Su Yi.
After a while, the golden glow in Mu Yao’s eyes gradually faded, and her blood-stained teeth nibbled on her lip. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said to Su Yi, “I’ve been defeated!”
Su Yi remained silent, and the light in his eyes softened, becoming deep and bright, as if the previous intensity had never existed.
“You surprised me, but don’t be too pleased just yet. Before long, I will return to defeat you!”
Mu Yao’s slightly hoarse voice faded as she glanced at Su Yi one last time before turning away.
In her heart, although she felt reluctant, she was fully aware that this young man before her was far stronger than the other geniuses of the Divine Sword School. Both in character and in the intensity of his strikes, he surpassed the disciples of the Divine Sword School. His final move, filled with a sinister aura, had truly astonished her.
“Very well, you are always welcome!”
Watching Mu Yao’s departing figure, Su Yi’s lips curved into a faint smile. But then his eyes flickered slightly and his brows furrowed, as if he wasn’t entirely satisfied after all.
In this battle, Su Yi had initially been filled with hope and excitement.
But now, even though he had emerged victorious, Su Yi didn’t feel particularly joyful.
Within the younger generation of the Divine Sword School lay hidden talents like Mu Yao, Liu Yunchuan, and Yun Lingfeng, who were exceptionally strong and formidable.
Especially Mu Yao—Su Yi had given it his all, yet in the end, he had only managed to win by a narrow margin.
Sacred Mountain was even larger and stronger than the Divine Sword School. It was truly a top-tier power in the Central Region. One could only imagine how formidable its younger generation must be.
Sacred Mountain was vast and filled with countless powerful individuals. To set foot there someday seemed as impossible as reaching the sky!
“Huff…”
With a deep breath, he let out a sigh, then placed a few healing pills in his mouth.
Given Su Yi’s current status, he had no qualms about taking the elixir, as it held little value to him.
Regardless, he had now won first place in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. Su Yi hoped that the ultimate benefits promised within the Divine Sword School would help him progress further. This would bring him one step closer to the day when he could set foot on Sacred Mountain.
“Ding…”
“I announce on behalf of the Divine Sword School that this disciple from the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak is the champion of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition…”
As the melodious sound of a bell echoed through the air, Sect Leader Situ Liuyun rose from the high platform. He gazed at the arena, his eyes shining with a glimmer of light. His voice, filled with energy and powerful resonance, pronounced with deliberation, “Su Yi!”
The sound, like deep thunder, echoed throughout Spirit Sword Peak, resonating across the entirety of the Divine Sword School.
“Boom!”
As Sect Leader Situ Liuyun’s words fell, a powerful roar erupted from all around Spirit Sword Peak, piercing the sky.
Amid this roar came resounding cheers from the entire crowd of outer disciples…
The inner disciples and direct disciples were amazed and filled with astonishment…
Older disciples gasped in wonderment…
Many female disciples were moved to their core, their hearts fluttering with gentle emotion…
“We won!”
Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing heard the result clearly and couldn’t believe it at first. Zhang opened his mouth wide in astonishment as he listened to the sky-reaching roars around him, confirming it in his heart.
They had never expected Su Yi would actually achieve this, but today he had truly won first place in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition.
“Boss Su Yi.”
“Boss Su Yi!”
Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, Qing Chao, Situ Muyang, and over a dozen outer disciples from the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak emerged from the crowd and quickly approached the dueling platform.
No one stopped them, as the duel had already concluded.
Besides, they were all disciples of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak.
This time, at the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak had stood out above all others!
“I said before that I must win the Grand Swordsmanship Competition and return your points multiplied by a hundred!”
Looking at Xu Jiahui, who was running toward him, and Zhang Qing and the others, Su Yi’s pale face broke into a smile.
“Brother Su Yi, you repaid me a thousand times over long ago.”
Xu Jiahui’s eyes trembled, filled with excitement that brought tears to her eyes.
The young man before her had truly accomplished it, and as for those insignificant points, he had long since repaid her a thousandfold.
“You concealed your strength so deeply!”
Situ Muyang stared at Su Yi, now realizing that during their time in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi had never truly exerted his full strength. He had been holding back all along.
“Boss Su Yi is unbeatable!”
“Boss Su Yi is amazing!”
Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, Liu Ji, and others rushed forward. They were so elated that without hesitation, they lifted Su Yi up and kept tossing him in celebration.
“Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, be careful—Su Yi still has injuries,” Xu Jiahui instantly became extremely concerned, worried about harming Su Yi, though she remained equally jubilant about his achievement.
“Congratulations, Elder Su! Celebrations for Elder Su!”
“Which sword peak can compare to the mighty Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak now?”
“Congratulations, Elder Su!”
