Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Fellow disciples?”

Upon hearing Elder Fu Du’s accusation, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh, waving the unblemished Dragon Taming Sword in his hand and looking at the Second Elder as if seeing a fool.

”Second Elder, not to mention that this is a battle in the Spiritual Chick Battle List, where life and death are not considered, just by your disciples’ repeated attempts on my life, do you think I would still hold back any mercy?”

Yun Xiao spoke eloquently, but he also knew that the feud between himself and the Poison Vein Sect hadn’t been fully brought to light, so he continued, ”Everyone saw just now, Yue Qi tried to kill me at every turn. If I didn’t have some tricks up my sleeve, I might not have even survived. Now, I have only severed his right arm. Would you say that’s cruel?”

Although Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi Cultivation fell far short of Elder Fu Du’s, his eloquence outmatched ten of the latter even if they were horse-whipping their arguments, leaving the Second Elder without room for rebuttal.

”You...”

Elder Fu Du, choked by Yun Xiao’s retort, felt an old rage brewing to spout, his figure enveloped in a faint green Ice Cold Qi, seeming on the brink of losing control and striking out at any moment.

”Second Elder, this is the Spiritual Chick Battle List’s arena. If you have nothing else, please leave. It seems that Brother Yue Qi has not yet conceded the match!”

Yun Xiao ignored Elder Fu Du’s menacing aura completely and gestured with his wooden sword in hand, indicating the elder should not interfere and wait for the result of this arena battle to emerge.

”The match hasn’t been decided yet?”

Upon hearing this, many were almost breathless; Yue Qi’s state was such that, without Elder Fu Du’s support, he could hardly stand, let alone withstand another punch or palm from Yun Xiao.

However, everyone also noticed that Yun Xiao was deliberately provoking Elder Fu Du. Indeed, Yue Qi hadn’t conceded, and the Second Elder had rushed to the stage to accuse Yun Xiao without a proper cause.

”Yun Xiao, very well, we shall see!”

Occupying the moral high ground, Elder Fu Du retained a sliver of reason and did not start a fight on the stage. Instead, he left a harsh remark behind and assisted Yue Qi off the stage.

”Eh, I say, the match isn’t conceded yet. If you walk away like this, who wins the arena battle?”

Yun Xiao was not one to suffer a loss silently. Without moving, his voice chased after them, making Elder Fu Du stumble, nearly falling off the stage.

Elder Fu Du did not reply again, and he quickened his steps as if fearing that staying any longer would provoke his anger further at the hands of that youngster. Such an embarrassing scene had not occurred in many years.

Swoosh!

Just as Yun Xiao was inexorable in his words, another whooshing sound rang out. Everyone turned to look, and it was Elder Su He from the Medical Pulse, who leapt onto the stage, instantly lifting everyone’s spirits.

”Enough, Yun Xiao, let’s stop here!”

With a tone of both helplessness and admiration, Elder Su He spoke out. Yun Xiao then fell silent, showing a considerable amount of respect to the Medical Pulse elders, unlike his impolite behavior towards Elder Fu Du.

”I declare, the champion of this Spiritual Chick Battle List is: Yun Xiao!”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s understanding, Elder Su He didn’t beat around the bush. As his voice rang out loud and clear, the entire Arena Hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a wave of cheers.

Regardless of how long Yun Xiao had joined the Jade Pot Sect, regardless of whether he merely had the strength of the Peak of Meridian Rushing Realm, he deserved the championship of this Spiritual Chick Battle List.

He crushed Yin Huan with a palm, defeated Xue Gong, overwhelmed Bi Luo, and in the final battle, he severed Yue Qi’s arm using multiple tactics. Such achievements had no hype, all were hard-earned by his own strength.

Especially in the last match. Yue Qi used all his techniques, but still met a tragic defeat. It seems that the reign of the younger generation in the Jade Pot Sect is truly about to change.

Speaking these words, Elder Su He also felt quite moved. This time, the three geniuses of the Poison Vein Sect could be said to have suffered a complete defeat, and all three of them had fallen at the hands of one person, which was indeed a sad and lamentable tale.

Elder Su He also knew a bit about the grudge between Yun Xiao and the Poison Vein Sect from the Great Elder and thought to himself that this was truly a case of reaping what one sows, having to swallow their own bitter fruit.

”The Spiritual Chick Battle List has officially ended. The three representatives to attend the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference on behalf of the Jade Pot Sect are...”

At that moment, Elder Su He paused for a bit and then raised his voice to continue, ”Yun Xiao, Mo Qing, and Yue... uh!”

Just as Elder Su He was about to announce the name of that genius from the Poison Vein Sect, his gaze inadvertently noticed Elder Fu Du and his disciple nearing the entrance of the hall. He stopped abruptly, his face reflecting a touch of embarrassment.

In fact, Su He had gone over this matter several times in his mind, and in his view, the three spots representing the Jade Pot Sect in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference were already without any surprises: they would be Yun Xiao, Mo Qing, and Yue Qi.

But who the hell could have imagined that on the day of the final decisive battle, such a thing would happen? Yue Qi, who was originally certain to secure a spot, was had his arm severed in a tragic and miserable state.

The Countries Hidden Dragon Conference is a grand event that occurs once every ten years on the Hidden Dragon Continent. At that time, the Hidden Dragon Continent will gather talents from thousands of empires. Achieving a good ranking in such an event is a great honor for all major sects, families, and even empires.

Therefore, the forces with the qualifications to select participants are, without exception, pushing forward their top talents from within the sects, hoping to raise their rankings.

Previously, with Yue Qi’s strength, representing the Jade Pot Sect in battle would have been without any issues, but now, how could the dignified Jade Pot Sect allow someone who lost an arm and whose strength is about to plummet to fight? Wouldn’t that just disgrace the Jade Pot Sect?

Su He’s abrupt halt in speaking allowed the many talents in the hall to instantly understand the situation, and Elder Fu Du, who was helping Yue Qi towards the hall’s door, quivered once again.

The frustrated Fu Du felt a surge of blood rushing crazily from his stomach. If not for his strong strength, he would probably have spurted out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, he couldn’t help cursing Yun Xiao’s ancestors eighteen generations over and over again.

Yun Xiao’s two swords not only severed Yue Qi’s cultivation foundation, but also cut off his qualification to participate in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference – truly swords that annihilate a family line.

Realizing this, many talents suddenly felt a sense of surprise, and then they saw an imposing figure suddenly joining the platform above. Who could it be if not the Sect Master Yu Shu of the Jade Pot Sect?

”Ladies and Gentlemen, since Yue Qi has lost his arm and failed, he naturally cannot represent our Jade Pot Sect in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference. I propose we let the next in line in the Spiritual Chick Battle List take the spot!” the Sect Leader announced with authority, prompting nods from everyone. However, when their gazes turned to the talent who also made it into the top four, their expressions became extremely interesting.

As one of the three major sects, the Jade Pot Sect has a total of three spots to participate in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference. Since Yue Qi was eliminated, it naturally falls to the fourth to take over.

But who is the fourth in this Spiritual Chick Battle List? That is Bi Luo from the Poison Vein lineage, and now, after being poisoned by Yun Xiao with shattered meridians, it’s questionable whether he can recover at all, not to mention representing the Jade Pot Sect in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference.

The crowd’s expressions were vivid, they clearly thought that this Bi Luo was also taken care of by Yun Xiao. In this way, weren’t all of the top talents of the Poison Vein lineage defeated by Yun Xiao’s hand?

”Erm... this...”

Su He also looked at the resentful face of Bi Luo and could only let out a bitter smile, turning his head again to look at the Sect Leader with a face full of helplessness.

”Since the fourth place is not viable, let’s choose from the remaining disciples!” Yu Shu did not have a better solution either and scanned the crowd, suddenly having an idea, he said, ”How about Ling Wan?”

”Ling Wan?” Hearing this, Su He’s eyes brightened, and he nodded, saying, ”Ling Wan joined the Inner Sect with Yun Xiao. In just one year, he is already not much different from established talents like Xue Gong. With more than half a year left until the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, with proper cultivation, he might have the power to fight those empire talents!”

”Hehe, the teacher and the Sixth Elder have good insights. I promise you that as long as Ling Wan gets this spot, within this half year, I will make sure he breaks through to the Meridian Union Realm level!” Yun Xiao, Ling Wan’s brother and friend, would of course stand up and speak at this time. Everyone has their own desires, and even Yun Xiao, the reincarnation of the Long Xiao Battle God, is no exception.

”What did you say?” However, once Yun Xiao spoke these words, even Yu Shu was taken aback and couldn’t help but question aloud, as Yun Xiao’s promise was somewhat astonishing.

In the path of cultivation, the higher the rank, the harder it is to make a breakthrough. For the Jade Pot Sect’s talents, making one to three minor realm breakthroughs in a year at the Meridian Introduction and Meridian Gathering stages is not difficult.

But once reaching the Spiritual Rank Three Realms, even at the Meridian Rushing Realm level, breaking through a single realm would take at least several months, or even half an annul or a year of time, and it all depends on both opportunity and luck.

Not to mention the Meridian Union Realm, even for top talents of the Jade Pot Sect like Yue Qi, it is not guaranteed to make a minor realm breakthrough within a year, as there are too many factors involved.

Especially breaking through a Great Rank does not simply involve following a routine cultivation; it could not be guaranteed even by Yu Shu himself to let a disciple at the Peak of Meridian Rushing Realm break through to the Meridian Union level within half a year.

Moreover, Ling Wan is only in the Late Stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm. If he said breaking through to the peak within half a year, they would believe it, but to break through to the Early Stage of Meridian Union, they really could not believe it.

But for some reason, after this Spiritual Chick Battle List event, Yu Shu suddenly found that his cheap disciple seemed to have a certain convincing aura, which made him unconsciously start to believe.

Therefore, at this moment, he has already made a decision.
