As for Ye Xuan, he had been completely ignored.
Furthermore, Ye Xuan had a good control over his own spirit energy. As long as he did not reveal himself, even the tenth stage of the Martial Dao would not be able to detect his true realm. At the very most, he would only be able to see through to the eighth stage.
The people from the Cracking Sky Sect were all invited to the banquet, while Ye Xuan returned to the bamboo forest alone.
In the afternoon, before the start of the competition, someone came to notify Ye Xuan.
But what surprised Ye Xuan was that the person who called him was none other than his neighbor, Guan Lan.
When Ye Xuan opened the gate of the courtyard, he was also shocked.
She glanced at Ye Xuan and said: "You have to be careful of that Fan Yue. He is a vicious man, and the last time he beat a senior brother to the point where his meridians were shattered."
"What?" Ye Xuan was startled.
Fan Yue?
This was the first time he had heard this name.
However, he was able to combine this name with the smiling youth that hid a knife behind his smile in his mind.
This Fan Yue should be the Sky Cracking Sect's trump card, and he was the Cloud Cracking Sect's trump card, so both sides would surely fight each other.
"Oh, oh. Thank you for your reminder, Senior Sister Guan." Ye Xuan cupped his fists and said.
But in the next moment, Guan Lan's words almost made him stutter.
"Call me by my name." Guan Lan said with a red face, and then said: "The competition between the two sects is about to begin, let's go."
This time, Ye Xuan was sure that Guan Lan was interested in him.
He had already been in the Skysplit Sect for a month, but he had yet to hear of anyone who would dare call her by her name.
Before returning to the Cloud Breaking Sect, Guan Lan had broken through to the eighth level of the Martial Dao, and then defeated third place in the inner sect.
Right now, there weren't many people who dared to call her Junior Sister. Perhaps only Vice Sect Leader Zhou Cang and the others from the older generation would call her Yulan.
"Wa, no matter where you go, people will always like you when you're handsome." Ye Xuan was overjoyed in his heart.
Xue Qingqing was too young and didn't suit him.
However, this Guan Lan was already seventeen years old, and would be eighteen years old soon.
In the midst of their fantasies, Ye Xuan and Guan Lan also arrived at the Cloud Cracking Sect's training grounds. As soon as they entered, they became the focus of everyone's attention.
Guan Lan blushed and walked in with Ye Xuan.
If not for Zhou Cang's orders, Guan Lan would probably not have called Ye Xuan out, but it was too embarrassing. After today, the entire Cloud Breaking Sect would probably be discussing whether or not Ye Xuan was able to get away with Guan Lan.
Ye Xuan came to the viewing platform in the training grounds, walked to Zhou Cang's side and whispered: "Master."
Beside Zhou Cang sat an old man. This old man was the Vice Sect Leader of the Sky Cracking Sect, Li Haolian.
"Sect Master Li, let me introduce you. This is my new disciple, Ye Xuan." Zhou Cang introduced the place to Li Haowang.
"Oh?"
Li Haoran was a little surprised as he turned to look at Ye Xuan, and said with a disdainful tone: "Such a young man, it seems like his talent is also top-notch. I wonder if he can be compared with Fan Yue …"
"Ye Xuan has reached the peak of the eighth stage of the Martial Dao at the age of fifteen." Zhou Cang added.
At this time, Li Haolian's expression also changed, "Sect Master Zhou sure is lucky. With such talent, I'm afraid he will soon catch up with Fan Yue."
"How could I dare? I'm afraid that your noble Fan Yue is already at the ninth stage of the Martial Dao." Zhou Cang said with a smile.
"That's right. Fan Yue broke through to the ninth level of the Martial Dao half a year ago." Li Haolian nodded.
"So it really is …" Zhou Cang's face also darkened, as he muttered in his heart. The information he had obtained was already outdated, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Ye Xuan.
Chapter 80 - The contest between the two Sects
Listening to Zhou Cang and Li Haolian's conversation, Ye Xuan also felt that something was wrong. Although there was nothing wrong with their names, their conversation was something that even a fool would be able to hear.
"Ye Xuan, take a seat with Yu Lan." Zhou Cang told the two of them.
"Yes, Master."
Ye Xuan nodded after hearing her, and then sat not too far away, while Guan Lan sat beside him.
"Close …" Eh, Yulan, what grudge does Master have with this vice sect master of the Sky Cracking Sect? "
After sitting down, Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask.
He had only been in the Skysplit Sect for a month and didn't know much. But Guan Lan had grown up in the Skysplit Sect, so he would definitely know.
"The Vice Sect Master's disciple's meridians were broken into pieces by Fan Yue earlier." Guan Lan said with a red face, showing off the posture of a little girl, making the surrounding disciples a little silly.
"So that's how it is." Ye Xuan nodded.
Now he understood why the vice sect masters of the two sects were so hostile.
It seemed that the competition between the two sects would be more dangerous. Although there were two Elder s in the arena as judges, there would still be some accidents.
"When Fan Yue was sixteen, he participated in a competition between two sects. Two years later, he was also only at the ninth stage of the Martial Dao. "Since that's the case, then I'll take revenge for my senior brother who had his meridians shattered and break Fan Yue's meridians as well."
Ye Xuan made a decision in his heart.
Collecting money to help others get rid of their troubles.
After all, he was Zhou Cang's only disciple and was currently receiving 2000 points per month. Thus, he naturally had to help Zhou Cang share his worries.
However, at this time, Zhou Cang was hesitating in his heart, as he did not wish for Ye Xuan to appear.
"I never thought that the other party would still break through to the ninth level of the Martial Dao. Looks like I have to be a bit more careful later. It's not easy for me to find a True Spirit Realm seed, I can't just die like that." Now that my time is near, I must act conservatively. I absolutely must not let anything happen to him. "
This was what Zhou Cang was thinking.
On the surface, he was the vice head of the Cracking Cloud Sect, but behind his back, he had a few hidden plots. The target of the conspiracy was originally Zhong Yang, but now, it was Ye Xuan.
However, Ye Xuan didn't know at all that the danger was in his surroundings.
Before Ye Xuan had arrived, the two vice sect masters of the Cloud Cracking Sect and the Sky Cracking Sect had already discussed the upcoming competition.
Next up, Li Haoran stood up and explained the contents of the competition.
There were five games in total, but it was not a three-two game.
The order of the matches would be decided from one to five. After that, the first round would begin, but the victor could choose to continue the battle. The loser would be considered the loser if he lost five rounds.
Simply put, as long as Number One was strong, he could fight five matches in a row.
Just now, when they were on their way here, Guan Lan had told Ye Xuan that the order of this competition was the inner sect's order. Although Ye Xuan was not ranked in the first place, Zhong Yang had not come back, so he had replaced Zhong Yang.
"Ye Xuan, you draw your lot."
At this moment, Zhou Cang suddenly shouted.
Hearing that, Ye Xuan also walked over, and retrieved a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube in his hand.
"Zhu Hong, who is this?"
When Ye Xuan clearly saw the name on the bamboo stick, he was al
so startled. He seemed to have never heard of this name before.
"You're smoking the other person's order." Guan Lan whispered at the side.
"Oh, okay."
Ye Xuan gave the bamboo lot to Zhou Cang, then pulled out three more, all of them being names he had never heard of before.
This meant that the Sky Cracking Sect's trump card, Fan Yue, was ranked fifth!
"Haha, your luck isn't bad. If Fan Yue manages to get first place, then you two will lose five times in a row. No, six times in a row." Li Haowang, who was at the side, suddenly laughed.
Five losses in a row meant five losses in a row. But if they were to lose this time, then the Cracking Cloud Sect would lose six losses in a row.
Zhou Cang's face twitched. He let out a cold snort and didn't say a word.
Next, Li Haowen decided on the order of the Cracking Cloud Sect.
"Huo Yuan, Ding Long, Su Sheng, Guan Lan, Ye Xuan."
Li Haoran read out the names one by one.
Coincidentally, just like Fan Yue, Ye Xuan, who was at the bottom of the game, was also fifth.
As a result, the order of the two parties had already been decided.
Zhou Cang's face also relaxed a little, but it was still very heavy, because he could tell that on the side of the Sky Cracking Sect, other than Fan Yue, there was also an existence at the middle of the eighth stage of the Martial Dao.
On the other hand, other than Ye Xuan, their team only had the early eighth stage of Martial Dao. If they wanted to win, they still had to rely on this last match.
After that, Zhou Cang sent someone to announce the rules and the order of the contestants, then carefully reminded the five of them.
"Ye Xuan, it looks like you are going to fight against Fan Yue. But you have to be extremely careful, Fan Yue has amazing skills, and it's normal for soldiers to lose …" Zhou Cang reminded Ye Xuan.
"Master, I understand."
Ye Xuan nodded, he also knew that Fan Yue was already at the ninth stage of the Martial Dao, and had once broken the meridians of a disciple of Zhou Cang.
However, he wasn't a pushover. Even though he couldn't compare up to the other party in terms of age and cultivation level, his physique had definitely far surpassed his opponent's.
He believed that he still had a high chance of winning this battle.
Within the training grounds, close to a thousand Splitting Cloud Sect disciples had already gathered. There were outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, and even teachers and Elder s.
This was the first time Ye Xuan battled under the watch of so many people, so if he wanted to establish himself as the inner court big brother in their hearts, then he had to win this battle.
"I must win this time. This way, I can get thirty thousand points. Then, I can take this opportunity to break through to the middle of the ninth stage of the Martial Dao …"
Ye Xuan secretly thought.
The Cracking Cloud Sect was actually just a springboard for him. His future stage would not be limited to just that.
Thus, he only stayed in the Skysword Sect for a short period of time. At some point in time, he would leave.
"The competition between the two Sects will begin now!"
Just as he was deep in thought, someone suddenly walked up the arena and shouted.
Ye Xuan focused his gaze and to his horror, he realized that the judge of the competition was actually their Elder, the guardian of the mountain.
"It is said that this Guarding Elder is an existence at the peak of the tenth stage of the Martial Dao. He is the sect's second most powerful Strongman …"
Ye Xuan thought, and then followed Huo Yuan, Guan Lan and the other two to the side of the stage.
The Sky Cracking Sect stood on the other side of the ring.
"In the competition between the two sects, the wager is 10 million gold taels. The loser will lose if they lose five matches." The Elder continued to shout.
The originally silent training grounds was suddenly filled with exclamations.
10 million gold, this was 1 billion silver!
The stakes of the competition between the two sects were actually this high?
This number also shocked Ye Xuan to the core. If he had obtained all these, he would probably be able to directly break through to the peak of the ninth stage of the Martial Dao.
Chapter 81 - Mantis' Arm Block
"Master is really generous, giving me three million gold at once." Ye Xuan thought.
Unknowingly, Zhou Cang's position in his heart had risen by quite a bit.
At this time, the Elder who was guarding the mountain suddenly shouted, "The first battle, Splitting Cloud Sect's Huo Yuan and the Splitting Heaven Sect's Zhu Hong."
Hearing that, Ye Xuan cupped his fists towards Huo Yuan who was beside him: "Senior Brother, it's time for you to display your skills."
"Haha, then I'll go up first." Huo Yuan laughed and jumped onto the stage.
Ding Long and Su Sheng also revealed strange lights on their faces. Although they had lost to Ye Xuan together with Huo Yuan, they were still very confident in Huo Yuan's strength.
Guan Lan did the same, because when she was at's residence, she had challenged Huo Yuan, but failed. So she was currently third in the inner sect, not second.
The disciple called Zhu Hong from the Cracking Sky Sect had also jumped onto the stage long ago. He and Huo Yuan walked to the side of the Elder who was guarding the mountain.
"Huo Yuan!"
"Zhu Hong!"
The two of them clasped their fists.
The mountain guarding Elder at the side did not waste time and directly said: "There will be two rules. One, you cannot kill others. Two, you will lose if you land outside the stage."
The rules were very simple. The two of them nodded.
"If you understand, then start." The Elder retreated after he finished speaking.
Huo Yuan and Zhu Hong also retreated a little. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they suddenly attacked.
"Rushing Thunder Hand!"
The battle had just started, and Huo Yuan had already used his peerless skill, the Level 7 martial art, Rushing Thunder Hand. It was also the move he used against Ye Xuan.
At that time, only Ye Xuan was able to react, and as a result, the young man named Zhu Hong was directly struck in the chest.
"Pah!"
A muffled sound could be heard, followed by another two muffled sounds.
"Pah!"
"Pah!"
Zhu Hong was hit by three moves in an instant and was blown off the stage.
Huo Yuan won!
When the Elder who guarded the mountain shouted this sentence, the entire training grounds began to boil with excitement.
"Hahaha, Senior Huo is indeed the second ranked disciple in the inner court. He managed to instantly kill his opponent."
"This Zhu Hong is definitely not weak to be compared by the Sky Cracking Sect, but Brother Huo is much stronger."
"Our Splitting Cloud Sect has lost five times consecutively. This time, we are finally able to turn the situation around."
All the disciples in the training field cheered.
At the same time, Li Haolian's complexion was also not looking good in the eastern spectator's stand.
Although Zhu Hong wasn't very strong, he was still a disciple that the Cracking Sky Sect had nurtured. How could he be killed instantly?
"Sect Leader Li, thank you." Zhou Cang was in a very good mood. Sometimes, face was more important than money.
Without a doubt, this caused the Sky Cracking Sect to lose a lot of face.
"Hmph, continue watching, Master Zhou." Li Haodan harrumphed coldly.
Actually, none of the disciples who came to the Cracking Cloud Sect to compete with Fan Yue were the true strength of the Sky Cracking Sect. That Zhu Hong wasn't even in the top ten.
However, the majority of the Cloud Cracking Sect disciples regarded Zhu Hong as one of the top ten experts of the Sky Cracki
ng Sect.
This time, Huo Yuan won his first victory and his morale rose greatly.
Because of the rules, he could continue to fight.
Huo Yuan was also very smart. Since he could fight continuously, he had used his martial arts from the start. This way, he could save both physical strength and spiritual energy.
In the second match, the Sky Cracking Sect went on to fight a sword Warrior.
However, his strength was even weaker than Zhu Hong's. With just two palm strikes from Huo Yuan, he was sent flying out of the arena.
In the third match, the people from the Sky Cracking Sect were much stronger than the previous two, so Huo Yuan had to spend a lot of effort to defeat them.
Even though he had won, Huo Yuan was already at the end of his tether. Not only was he injured, he also had very little spiritual power left.
Right now, the one who was going on stage was the Splitting Heaven Sect's mid-stage Martial Dao's Warrior, which was also the young city lord of Thousand Gold City whom Ye Xuan had defeated that day, Zhang Xiang.
"The fourth match will be between Huo Yuan from the Cloud Cleaving Sect and Zhang Xiang from the Sky Cracking Sect."
Along with the sound of the Elder guarding the mountain, the apologetic looking Zhang Xiang finally walked onto the stage.
"F * ck, who the hell is this? His looks are too …"
"It's really too ugly, my stomach starts to roll. Oh my god, I'll close my eyes first. Junior brother will tell me the result later …"
"This person's looks are too unique, and his strength is probably not much either. I'm afraid that senior brother Huo could knock him flying with a single move."
Outside the training grounds, many people's stomachs had already started to churn. There were even many Female Disciple s who closed their eyes, not wanting to watch the battle.
In the training field, Zhang Xiang slowly walked towards Huo Yuan with an extremely gloomy expression.
What he hated the most was having people point fingers at him.
However, there were over a thousand Split Cloud Sect disciples sitting outside the arena. He couldn't possibly vent his anger on them, but he had a very good vent.
