Chapter 10: Unyielding
Xin Hongyi, a genius known throughout the academy from the Huo Xin clan, one of the three secret tribes of the Southern Domain.
The secret tribes were shrouded in mystery, and no one in the Southern Domain knew their true depths.
However, no one dared to provoke them, as those who had crossed them in the past had been thoroughly defeated.
Now, Xin Hongyi had been defeated by Ye Qiubai.
In contrast, Ye Qiubai held his wooden sword, his white robes fluttering in the wind, appearing extremely calm and collected, as if he hadn’t suffered any damage at all.
Xin Hongyi’s face was pale, her expression bitter. She had used her treasured sword and the secret technique of consecrating her sword with blood.
“Heh heh, you’re just pretending, but you’re actually quite happy to see your disciple doing so well, right?”
Ah?
What am I pretending?
Lu Changsen’s face was filled with helplessness. He didn’t want Ye Qiubai to be so outstanding, or else the Grass Hall would be flooded with people wanting to be his disciples.
How could he teach them all? He hadn’t even fully understood his own cultivation. If he taught them wrongly, wouldn’t he be the one to blame? No way. He had to make Ye Qiubai tone down his performance.
The disciples in the lower ranks of the academy were all shocked, their faces pale. Facing Xin Hongyi, a genius from the secret tribe, Ye Qiubai had won so easily.
Just how strong was his true power? The name “Grass Hall” had already begun to spread throughout the academy.
Ye Yan’s face was iron-green, his fingers clenched tightly. Even if he had tried to block that one sword strike, he wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed! In fact, he felt an extremely dangerous aura emanating from it!
Keep in mind that Ye Yan was in the Purple Mansion realm! After the Golden Elixir, comes the Purple Mansion. He was a whole realm away, yet he felt this way! And Ye Qiubai hadn’t even used his full strength. If he had, could Ye Yan really have withstood that one sword strike? The answer was already evident on Ye Yan’s terrified face.
“Ye Qiubai… he’s really back! And his aura is even stronger!”
On the side, Huo Qingming watched this scene unfold with a smile.
“It won’t be so boring now.”
“What, you want to go up and challenge Ye Qiubai?”
Lin Ce, a man with a feather fan, laughed.
“You’re bullying the weak, that’s not very honorable.”
Huo Qingming glanced at Ye Yan, who was standing next to him, and said helplessly,
“I owe the Ye family’s elder a favor.” Then, Huo Qingming’s tone shifted, and he looked at Lin Ce with a sly smile. “Lin Ce, I’ll definitely break through your stubborn formation, which is as hard as a turtle shell!”
Lin Ce smiled and fanned himself, saying, “I’m looking forward to it.”
It was clear that they didn’t take Ye Qiubai seriously, after all, there was a significant gap in their levels. Ye Qiubai, a mere Golden level cultivator, was not even considered a threat. Ye Yan hurriedly asked,
“Brother Huo, why don’t you take action now?” Huo Qingming glanced at him with a hint of disdain and said impatiently, “I’ll act when the time comes.”
Meanwhile, on the high platform, Ye Qiubai stood with his sword, and for a while, no one dared to come up and challenge him. However, on the other five platforms, people started to compete fiercely! Lu Changseng watched this scene with satisfaction, thinking, “Yes, this is good. No one is challenging Ye Qiubai, which means less trouble.”
Qin Tiannan and the other elders were also silent on the matter. But Ye Qiubai didn’t think so. Why wasn’t anyone coming up? Were they all intimidated?
“This won’t do! I need to make Grass Hall more famous, or else I’ll have to cook for the master again… Ugh!”
Ye Qiubai thought to himself, then smiled and said loudly, “What, no one’s coming? Are the disciples from other halls so weak?”
Lu Changseng’s eyes widened in shock, while Qin Tiannan and the other elders couldn’t help but smile. The disciples below heard this and became enraged.
“Are all members of Grass Hall so arrogant?”
“I’ll take you on!”
A man with a large axe leapt up, saying,
“I’m half-step Purple Mansion, and I have the upper hand. Let’s see you make the first move!”
Ye Qiubai raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything, disappearing instantly. He reappeared as a sword light, shooting out swiftly! The man’s face changed color, and he forgot his earlier boasts, swinging his axe down fiercely! Ye Qiubai’s expression remained unchanged, his wooden sword clashing with the axe!
The sound of the collision echoed through the high platform!
The axe fell, and Ye Qiubai took advantage of the momentary lapse, his sword pressing against the man’s neck. One more inch, and he could behead him!
“I… I lost.” Ye Qiubai sheathed his sword.
“He’s still able to crush opponents in a higher realm?”
“Are the disciples of Grass Hall really that terrifying?”
“It seems that only a Purple Mansion level disciple can defeat Ye Qiubai and bring him down from the high platform…”
However, when the next Purple Mansion realm disciple came up, they realized just how terrifying Ye Qiubai’s strength was. Although he didn’t win as easily as before, defeating his opponent with just one strike, after using the first sword of the Heavenly Demon Nine Swords, the Purple Mansion realm disciple was unable to resist!
Ye Yan watched this scene, his hand clenched tightly, his veins bulging. He was currently at the initial stage of the Purple Mansion realm, but seeing someone with similar strength to his own being defeated so easily by Ye Qiubai made him feel a sense of panic.
“Ye Qiubai, I must defeat you today!”
“Brother Huo, can you take action now?” Ye Yan turned his head to look at Huo Qingming, who was standing with his arms crossed.
Huo Qingming’s face was unpleasant, but he nodded and said, “The people of Grass Hall are getting too arrogant.”
After speaking, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and his muscles burst out with incredible power! “That is… Huo Qingming of the Martial Hall, mid
-level Purple Mansion level!”
“It seems that Ye Qiubai’s winning streak has come to an end…”
