Hu Xiaofan!
This unexpected name could be said to have dazzled the eyes of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten.
Yun Xiuxin’s progress was in front of everyone, and it was not a great feat for her to have achieved such results. This little girl’s physique was one of the best in the Residence of Nine Supremes to begin with. Before, she was not shining as she was supposed to due to being limited by her short cultivation history and her young age. However, after taking Yun Yang as her master and experiencing a series of events, she was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Although they were shocked that she was able to have such results today, they did not feel it was something amazing after a detailed analysis, and even thought that it was reasonable.
But Hu Xiaofan, who had been recognized by everyone in the Residence of Nine Supremes as a troublemaker, had become one of the top ten first-generation disciples after Yun Xiuxin! Although he was ranked the last, he was still one of the ten senior brothers to all the younger disciples!
This was simply…
“The battle of the Celestial Luck Banner is one month and twenty-five days away. The competition held every ten days can be held four more times. I hereby announce that the top ten disciples decided in the last competition will represent the Residence of Nine Supremes in this battle of the banner!
“This battle of the banner will be the beginning of the foundation for the Residence of Nine Supremes’s eternal legacy!”
Yun Yang’s voice reverberated in the air for a long time.
“All those who perform meritorious deeds for the sect in this battle will automatically become true teaching disciples, and will get a bottle of Divine Pills, a piece of Ethereal Amethyst, five hundred pieces of superior-grade spiritual jade, and a divine-grade weapon as a reward. In addition, his or her deeds will be recorded in the annals of the Residence of Nine Supremes, and his or her portrait will always be kept in the ancestral hall of the sect for future disciples to admire and worship!”
After hearing everything Yun Yang said, the eyes of all disciples, including Sun Mingxiu, turned red at once!
The last top ten disciples would represent the Residence of Nine Supremes in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner! But, this was only the process, and what really moved them were…the rewards!
They had the chance to become true teaching disciples, get a bottle of Divine Pills, a piece of Ethereal Amethyst, and a divine-grade weapon! In addition, their deeds would be recorded in the annals of the Residence of Nine Supremes, and their portraits would always be kept in the ancestral hall of the sect for future disciples to admire and worship!
They did not take the reward of five hundred pieces of superior-grade spiritual jade to heart. What was that when compared with other rewards?
One was material, and the other was glory. They could not be compared at all!
Even Hu Xiaofan, who had always liked to cause trouble, had his eyes shining brightly like searchlights, and his expression was very ferocious and horrible. In fact, not only Hu Xiaofan, but all the disciples had their breathing become rapid in a very short time.
“Opportunities are available to everyone, not just those who are ranked high in the competition.” Yun Yang’s voice was very indifferent, but it immediately made the blood of all disciples boil.
“You still have forty days. Forty days later, the positions of the top ten disciples will be decided, and then the Residence of Nine Supremes will officially go on the quest to fight for the Celestial Luck Banner! When the time comes, I don’t know how many among the current top ten disciples will follow me, and how many among the disciples who are not in the top ten will be one of them!”
“Dismiss!”
At Yun Yang’s command, all the higher-ups of the sect including him left, but none of the disciples below moved.
Almost every disciple present was grinding teeth and staring with bright eyes at the top ten disciples, who were still on the stage. They were all weighting carefully in their heads about who they should pull down, how they could do that, and if they really could do that…
The expressions of the top ten disciples also became very serious and alert.
‘I want to keep my position and even go further!’
Bai Yexing and Yun Xiuxin’s fiery eyes fell on Sun Mingxiu almost at the same time like two hungry wolves looking at a piece of fat meat. Sun Mingxiu, who had always been calm, suddenly shuddered.
He knew very well that Yu Chenghang was behind him now, and since there was a Bai Yexing between them, it was impossible for Yu Chenghang to catch up with him. But, Bai Yexing had grown up to be his enemy.
Bai Yexing not only chased up frantically, but also made him feel great pressure in this round of competition.
And there was also Yun Xiuxin, who was almost in the top three. The potential of this little girl was simply limitless! Now that she was almost as good as Bai Yexing, the odds of her passing him in the next competition were almost one hundred percent even though she was currently ranked behind Yu Chenghang!
And Hu Xiaofan, who was at the bottom of the list, was also likely to catch up with him in the third or fourth competition!
And Lin Xiaorou, Cheng Jiajia…
Sun Mingxiu suddenly had a feeling that he was surrounded by wolves, while Yu Chenghang’s heart was filled with helplessness of being surrounded by enemies and having been born at the wrong time.
But what could he do even if he felt helpless? Since he was not going to accept this fate, he would have to try his best!
For the next forty days, even Shi Wuchen and the others were horrified. By now they were not urging their disciples to cultivate, but to rest.
“Go to rest quickly!”
“Look at what you have become now, boy! Why are you still forcing yourself?”
“Go back quickly!”
“Master, let’s practice a little more, just a little more.”
“Well, we’ll go back to rest soon.”
“Master…Hehe…you come at the right time. I have a question that I don’t understand, and I want to ask for your advice. Let’s sit down over there for a while so you can explain it to me…”
…
“Chief Yun’s announcement has driven the disciples completely crazy…” Shi Wuchen said helplessly.
Luo Dajiang snorted and said, “Your disciple is still at the top, but my Yu Chenghang…He has now fallen to the third place, and even this third place is a fluke…I think he’ll probably fall to fourth place at the next competition…”
Shi Wuchen said with a wry smile, “It is still unknown whether my disciple will be able to hold the first place after the last competition, and I am not too optimistic either.”
Like Shi Wuchen, Kong Luoyue also smiled wryly and said, “I wonder how far can Bai Yexing go…Why hasn’t he reached the top yet?” As he spoke, he shook his head while showing a worried look.
“Bast*rd!” Shi Wuchen and Luo Dajiang glared at the guy who was clearly posturing.
Ren Qingkuang said lightly, “I don’t know or even care if Bai Yexing can reach the top, and I don’t care if Sun Mingxiu can keep his first place. All I’m concerned about now is how far can Yun Xiuxin go. It would be very interesting if she got to the top after the last competition!”
After hearing what he said, Kong Luoyue’s mood became bad. Everyone knew it was pure luck that Bai Yexing was able to keep Yun Xiuxin down this time. But in the competitions that would follow, how could he win if he did not have such luck again?
And with Yun Xiuxin’s rate of improvement, the results were really unpredictable!
