Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 296: Top Genius, The Finals Begin!
Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Top Genius, The Finals Begin!
The direction where the Crown Prince Hall members are located.
Seven figures are gathered together.
The cold and stern youth wielding a sword in the lead is none other than Qi Guyun!
Beside him stand Lin Xiaoyun, the peach-blossom-faced Qin Yan, the fan-wielding Xu Qifeng, the iron-tower-like Tu Shan, Lin Zhidong, and Lu Chen!
All are figures among the top ten disciples of the Top Hundred List!
"These are the top ten disciples of the Crown Prince Hall’s Top Hundred List. What an overwhelming aura."
"Of course, seven out of the top ten Outer Disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect belong to the Crown Prince Hall! The first-ranked Qi Guyun and second-ranked Lin Xiaoyun have profoundly unfathomable strength, reportedly nearing a breakthrough to the Awakening Vein Realm."
"Tsk tsk, looking at this, Luo Cheng opposing the Crown Prince Hall is practically like an egg striking a rock! Unless he can kill all seven of them!"
"Haha, that’s impossible!"
Qi Guyun and the other six gathered together, their domineering aura radiating outward, drawing the attention of many.
Sensing the powerful presence of these individuals, many felt pity for Luo Cheng, believing his path ahead to be thorny and his fate uncertain.
Standing in the center of the seven, Qi Guyun swept his gaze over the crowd and said coldly:
"Everyone, you’ve witnessed what happened earlier. Luo Cheng repeatedly provoked our Crown Prince Hall, even killed our disciples. If we don’t rid ourselves of him, our dignity will be trampled, and we’ll become the laughingstock!"
"Senior Qi, rest assured. While it’s baffling how he suddenly gained such strength, it doesn’t mean he can compare to us. Among us seven, who doesn’t surpass him in skill? If we encounter him, we’ll kill him immediately!"
The elegant and charming youth wielding a jade fan spoke with a smile.
This was Xu Qifeng, ranked fifth among the top ten disciples.
"Haha!"
Tu Shan, ranked eighth, his body like an iron tower, cracked his knuckles loudly and grinned sinisterly:
"That guy dares to challenge all of us, even boasting that ’one by one will die.’ Utterly reckless and lawless! I’d like to see if his bones are as tough as his mouth!"
"Indeed!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
One after another, the group exuded killing intent.
Infuriated by Luo Cheng’s actions and words, they eagerly awaited a chance to battle him, to exact vengeance and erase their humiliation!
The sole female disciple present, Qin Yan, pressed her red lips together and spoke calmly:
"You should all remain calm. He easily defeated Ren Xiaoguang and even blocked Senior Qi’s sword. His strength is not to be underestimated."
Tu Shan snorted displeased: "Qin Yan, why do you keep boosting outsiders’ morale? That one sword from Senior Qi wasn’t executed seriously; otherwise, how could he still be alive? As for Ren Xiaoguang, he couldn’t even handle Chen Lingyu, so let’s not even talk about him!"
Unperturbed, Qin Yan gently smiled and replied, "I’m merely reminding you to beware of underestimating him and suffering an unexpected setback."
At this moment, Qi Guyun raised his hand and addressed everyone: "I didn’t call you all here to have you kill Luo Cheng."
The group turned their gazes toward Qi Guyun, puzzled. Qin Yan asked, "Then Senior Qi, what are your intentions?"
Qi Guyun’s gaze shifted to Luo Cheng, his expression cold as he said:
"He dares to challenge me openly. If I don’t personally kill him, where would my authority be? How would I quell the hatred in my heart? In the upcoming tournament, if you encounter him, merely engage him to exhaust his strength while probing his hidden cards. His life belongs to me!"
In Qi Guyun’s mind, killing Luo Cheng was a matter of little consequence.
This was the will of the Eighth Prince, Jin Min.
In this battle, Jin Min wished to eliminate all uncertainty. Hence, he instructed Qi Guyun to command the others to first wear down Luo Cheng and uncover his weaknesses, ensuring nothing was overlooked!
"Understood."
The group spoke in unison, except Lin Xiaoyun, who remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Turning his attention to Lin Xiaoyun, Qi Guyun smiled and said:
"Xiaoyun, why so quiet? I know Luo Cheng is your junior brother, and I’ve given him chances before, yet he didn’t cherish them. Don’t let a worthless person affect our brotherhood."
"I understand."
Lin Xiaoyun nodded, then turned and left.
Seeing this, Xu Qifeng, ranked fifth, frowned and remarked:
"Senior Qi, it seems Ren Xiaoguang’s earlier concerns were not groundless. Lin Xiaoyun is Luo Cheng’s senior brother; perhaps..."
Hearing this, a flash of coldness crossed Qi Guyun’s eyes, though his expression remained unchanged as he smiled and replied:
"Don’t worry, I trust him. Go prepare; the tournament is about to begin."
"Yes!"
The group dispersed, seeking places to recuperate and breathe, elevating their essence, qi, and spirit to their peak for the impending tournament.
Only Qi Guyun lingered, staring silently at Lin Xiaoyun’s departing figure.
An hour passed swiftly.
When the Great Elder Qin Yun appeared on the ranking jade, the atmosphere in the plaza surged to its climax, with cheers rolling like waves.
The final match group, also known as the Top Ten Disciples Competition!
This final round would determine the list of the top ten Outer Disciples of this year’s grand tournament—a highlight of the annual event!
Amid the cheers, thirteen qualified disciples stepped forward.
Qi Guyun, Lin Xiaoyun, Xu Bingyi, Qin Yan, Xu Qifeng, Yu Yue, Lin Zhidong, Tu Shan, Lu Chen, Han Feiyu!
Standing at the forefront were the ten Outer Sect’s top disciples!
Behind them were Luo Cheng, Gu Zhan, and Chen Lingyu.
The thirteen disciples stood together, their powerful auras inciting cheers and shouts from many Outer Disciples whose eyes sparkled with excitement and admiration.
To them, the Outer Sect’s top ten disciples were insurmountable mountains!
Even experts in the audience turned their heads, scrutinizing them carefully.
Some observant individuals compared the disciples of the Three Sects’ younger generations.
Their conclusion, however, was that the Xuanyuan Sect’s younger disciples indeed paled in comparison to those of the Fierce Cloud Sect and Luoxia Sect.
"These individuals are remarkable, but the Xuanyuan Sect ultimately lacks a leading figure among its younger generation. If this continues, the Xuanyuan Sect may fall into decline step by step."
The City Lord of Linjiang City scanned the crowd, sighing in lament.
Among the top ten Outer Disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect was a peerless prodigy with an awakened Ten-star Spiritual Martial Soul, cited for feats including defeating Awakening Vein Realm combatants—a rarity that shocked the world!
Their remaining disciples were also incredibly talented, making Fierce Cloud Sect’s emergence as the foremost sect of the Three Great Sects increasingly evident!
Luoxia Sect had its own shining star—Yan Qingshuang, awakened with the Nine-star Sword Martial Soul, mastering Human Sword Integration and aspiring to Sword Intent!
In contrast, though Qi Guyun and Lin Xiaoyun of Xuanyuan Sect were commendable, they fell short of matching Fierce Cloud Sect’s top prodigies or Yan Qingshuang.
While Luo Cheng had also mastered Human Sword Integration, his cultivation remained at Tongxuan Realm Second Layer and relied on a Wasted Martial Soul. Though he was a fleeting force at present, his future seemed destined to fade, unable to stand alongside prodigies like Yan Qingshuang in true competition...
Of course, given the current situation, whether Luo Cheng had a future at all was the real question.
Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Great Elder Qin Yun coughed gently twice, infused his voice with Essence Energy, and announced loudly:
"The Top Ten Disciples Competition begins now!"
