“Excellent!” From one side of the Battle Hall, a laughing voice rang out. Then Manager Lin was seen accompanying an Elder, slowly walking over.

This Elder’s robes displayed his noble status… an Elder of the Inner Sect Northern Brilliant Hall!

However, at this moment, this Inner Sect Northern Brilliant Hall Elder’s complexion was somewhat unpleasant. Clearly, he also had not anticipated that what he originally thought would be a matter without the slightest suspense would here lose three generals consecutively!

Watching Manager Lin and the Inner Sect Elder, countless Outer Sect Disciples’ faces all bore proud expressions. From now on, who would dare say their Outer Sect lacked talent!?

“Elder Zhou…” Fang Xueming and the other defeated Inner Sect Disciple bowed towards him with ashamed expressions and called out softly, their voices carrying unease.

*Hmph!* The latter merely looked at them coldly and snorted once without speaking.

Clearly, Elder Zhou was extremely dissatisfied due to their defeat!

Subsequently, the Elder’s gaze swept across Yu Feiquan, Li Yuanba and Qin Yichen. When it fell upon the emblem on Qin Yichen’s robes representing the Pill Hall, his heart could not help but clench fiercely.

Being defeated by someone from the Pill Hall… Did this not indicate that the Pill Hall’s people were too strong, or that their Northern Brilliant Hall’s people were too weak?!

“Are there any others who wish to challenge?”

The Elder’s gaze swept across the entire arena, his voice clearly transmitting into every Disciple’s ears.

Earlier, Zhong Zi’an had said that as long as someone defeated one of their Inner Sect top ten below Martial Emperor Realm, they could take their place. Now, three Outer Sect Disciples had already obtained places.

Originally, it was thought that at most only Yu Feiquan alone could barely obtain a place. This result was clearly somewhat beyond their expectations.

However, at this moment, no more Outer Sect Disciples had any intention of challenging.

After all, they did not possess the monstrous abilities of Qin Yichen and the other two. At the same realm, how could they compare with Disciples who had obtained more methods in the Inner Sect?

“Elder, no one is challenging anymore.” Manager Lin spoke softly nearby, his eyes full of pride and gratification. Although he had deliberately suppressed the joy in his heart, this matter that brought such honour still caused his voice to rise uncontrollably by several degrees.

Behind them on the duelling platform, those several defeated Inner Sect Disciples all lowered their heads with expressions full of shame.

Unable to even defeat their own Sacred Land’s Outer Sect Disciples. How could they represent the Sacred Land to compete with other Forces!?

“Since no one is challenging anymore, I shall announce the ten people representing our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.” Elder Zhou’s brows knitted tightly. His gaze swept across the people behind him, his voice slowly resonating.

As his voice transmitted forth, all the Outer Sect Disciples throughout the Battle Hall held their breath. Faces filled with admiration looked towards Qin Yichen and the other two who had won honour and respect for the Outer Sect.

“Originally I had already reported to the Hall Master that ten Inner Sect members would represent the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.” Elder Zhou slowly spoke. Hearing this, although numerous Outer Sect Disciples felt displeased internally, they dared not say anything.

“However, since you have succeeded in defeating them, naturally we cannot go back on our word.”

“Yu Feiquan, Li Yuanba, you two will participate!” Elder Zhou’s voice slowly transmitted forth.

Upon hearing this, the pupils of countless Outer Sect Disciples abruptly contracted, all feeling somewhat uneasy. Almost everyone’s gazes looked towards Qin Yichen with incomprehension.

Amongst the three from the Outer Sect, the one who had won with absolute superiority was him. Yet Elder Zhou had not mentioned his name? Why was this? Could it be that Elder Zhou intended to keep him as a trump card?

Manager Lin also felt somewhat puzzled, but he still suppressed the doubt in his heart. Facing the puzzled and anxious gazes of Outer Sect Disciples, he could only press down his hands, indicating they should not be hasty. Perhaps Elder Zhou had another plan.

“You ten shall follow me to Saints City!” However, to their disappointment, Elder Zhou showed no intention of continuing to explain, directly opening his mouth and shouting.

“Elder Zhou, what about Qin Yichen?” Finally, Manager Lin could not help but ask. The gazes of numerous Outer Sect Disciples also looked towards Elder Zhou.

“Him?” Elder Zhou chuckled lightly, his gaze coldly sweeping across the emblem on Qin Yichen’s robes. A voice carrying cold laughter also resounded. “When have you ever seen people from the Pill Hall represent the Sacred Land in battle? Within the Sacred Land, each Hall performs its own duties. As a person of the Pill Hall, one must possess appropriate awareness and perform one’s proper duties well. As for matters of combat, leave them to our Northern Brilliant Hall!”

Hearing this voice, everyone in the Northern Brilliant Hall looked towards Qin Yichen. When they saw the emblem on his robes representing the Southern Brilliant Hall, everyone could not help but sigh lightly.

Although Elder Zhou’s action was somewhat improper, what he said was indeed fact! From the Sacred Land’s inception until now, there truly had never been an instance of Pill Hall members representing the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land in battle!

“Elder Zhou…” Mu Yanzhen’s delicate brows furrowed slightly as she could not help but call out softly.

Although what Elder Zhou said was fact, it was only because ordinary Pill Hall members’ martial prowess was insufficient. He was being too unreasonable!

Fang Xueming, who had originally already lost his qualification for a place, also lowered his head slightly, his expression rather awkward.

“What are you all dawdling for? Hurry and depart with me!” Elder Zhou shouted loudly, saying no more. His figure directly shot forth.

Seeing this, Zhong Zi’an and the others all shook their heads. Finally, their figures moved, closely following.

“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll help you beat down those guys who dare provoke the Sacred Land!” After hesitating momentarily, Li Yuanba raised his fists the size of sandbags. Then he leaned close to Qin Yichen’s ear and said, “If there’s a chance, I’ll beat this old man up for you as well!”

In just a short while, Elder Zhou led the ten Disciples away from the Battle Hall, shooting towards outside the Sacred Land.

For a time, within the Battle Hall, the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

“On what grounds do they look down on us people of the Southern Brilliant Hall!”

“Exactly! What Inner Sect top ten below the Martial Emperor Realm!? Didn’t they still fall to defeat under Senior Brother Qin’s hand!?”

“This is too much! This is clearly discrimination against us Alchemists!”

Within the Battle Hall, there were also quite a few Alchemists from the Southern Brilliant Hall gathered here. After a brief silence, furious shouts erupted from their mouths.

Alchemists were inherently a proud profession. Ordinarily, it was only Martial Artists that came seeking them. When had they ever encountered being so disdained?

Having clearly obtained a place through strength yet being rejected by a single phrase of ‘not being from the Northern Brilliant Hall!’

Even if the other party was an Elder of the Inner Sect Northern Brilliant Hall, they still could not suppress the fury in their hearts!

Some Northern Brilliant Hall Disciples looked with complex expressions towards that figure standing before the duelling platform.
