Chapter 555: Chapter 231: Target of All, the Trial Begins!
Qi Yue was also shocked by Luo Cheng’s words, hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said:
“No matter how arrogant a person is, they should have a bit of self-awareness. With your talent, you actually dream of being in the top three… I’m afraid you won’t even make it out of the Mist Forest and will become a joke!”
Luo Cheng replied indifferently, “That’s not something you need to worry about. No one in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition thinks I can take first place either.”
“Humph, such a miracle won’t happen a second time. Forget it, if I say more, it would seem like I’m belittling you. Just remember our bet and don’t forget to apologize to me publicly then!”
“And Senior Sister Yin Li’s ten Meridian Opening Pills must also be returned intact.”
Qi Yue only felt Luo Cheng was hopeless, coldly threw out a sentence, then accelerated forward.
The other female disciples also followed, whispering to each other, all coldly mocking, wanting to see Luo Cheng’s joke.
Luo Cheng’s soul power was strong, clearly hearing these words, he sneered coldly in his heart. He had already taken one of the Meridian Opening Pills and naturally didn’t plan to return them!
Originally, he only wanted to pass the test without intending to compete for a ranking. Now, he decided to compete seriously!
Jin Yuxi sensed the tension between them and curiously asked:
“Luo Cheng, why does Senior Sister Qi Yue have such hostility towards you, and those other senior sisters as well…”
Jin Yuxi was baffled.
Just now, Qi Yue and the others looked at Luo Cheng with eyes as if they wanted to devour him.
“What’s going on?”
Yan Qingshuang curiously inquired.
Jin Yuxi briefly explained what happened on the way to the Luoxia Sect.
Upon hearing, Yan Qingshuang gently furrowed her brows, “Although Senior Sister Qi Yue has a strong personality, she’s not unreasonable. Just this little matter shouldn’t make her see Luo Cheng as an enemy…”
Ahem!
Naturally, Luo Cheng wouldn’t mention what happened at the Five-Colored Origin Spring, saying, “It’s nothing, as long as I enter the top three, she will naturally have nothing to say.”
Jin Yuxi slightly furrowed her brows, “Top three… That’s too difficult!”
Yan Qingshuang also nodded, saying to Luo Cheng, “You have comprehended seventy percent of Perfect Sword Intent, entering the top fifteen shouldn’t be a problem, but wanting to reach the top three is very, very hard.”
“You heard it just now, along with Senior Sister Qi Yue, this time there are seven top seed disciples participating in the test. All ten top seed disciples have awakened Advanced Martial Souls and are the most hopeful disciples to achieve Great Power, each is extraordinarily talented!”
“Among them, Senior Sister Yu Lanxin’s Sword Intent has also reached the Sword Intent Prototype Upper Realm, and it’s eighty percent Perfect Sword Intent! Senior Sister Qi Yue is also not simple, she practices our Luoxia Sect’s Bright Dawn Shattered Jade Technique, daily drawing Spiritual Mist into her body. She’s long accustomed to mist, entering Mimeng Zang Mountain is exceptionally advantageous…”
“To enter the top three, you must surpass them all one by one.”
Yan Qingshuang spoke in detail, analyzing the strength of the top seeds for Luo Cheng, showing how difficult it is to compete for the top three, almost an impossible task.
“Is that so?”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows, the top seed disciples are indeed not simple.
However, these news not only did not make him afraid, but instead spurred his competitiveness, he laughed and said:
“On the path of cultivation, one must forge ahead fiercely. Since the words have been spoken, no matter how difficult, I have to try it. At worst, they’ll just laugh at me!”
Seeing this, Yan Qingshuang couldn’t help but admire him a bit.
If she heard such news, she might lose the will to fight, but Luo Cheng was still full of courage, exuberant.
“No wonder he could quickly cultivate Sword Intent Prototype Upper Realm…”
Yan Qingshuang gazed at Luo Cheng, seeming to understand.
Sword Dao is a path of attack, not allowing retreat, Luo Cheng’s fervent spirit, courageously forging ahead, truly makes him a born swordsman.
The three continued to swiftly move along the Rainbow Bridge.
Moments later, they arrived at the end of the Rainbow Bridge.
Ahead were several gigantic rocks dozens of feet high, forming natural platforms, surrounded by misty waves on the lake, blurry all around.
The platforms were crowded, there were already over a thousand people, and more were continuously arriving.
The platform was divided into three areas, only disciples participating in the Seven-Colored Spring test could enter the front area.
The middle area was for spectators.
On the highest platform at the back sat the elders of the Luoxia Sect.
Bidding farewell to Jin Yuxi, Luo Cheng and Yan Qingshuang reached the platform where the contestant disciples were located.
There were already over a hundred people around, each a female disciple of the Luoxia Sect, youthful and beautiful, bright and charming, each with their unique aura.
Luo Cheng glanced around, his pupils slightly contracting.
These female disciples all had strong auras, eighty percent were in the Late Stage of Awakening Vein Realm, among them several seemed as powerful as Qi Yue, clearly top seed disciples of the Luoxia Sect’s Inner Sect!
Luo Cheng noticed a yellow-clothed woman carrying a treasure sword at her waist.
This person’s temperament appeared elegant and quiet like water, but in Luo Cheng’s keen perception, she was like a treasure sword still in its sheath, once unsheathed, she would certainly shine with a stunning brilliance!
Yan Qingshuang noticed Luo Cheng’s gaze and introduced, “Luo Cheng, she’s our Luoxia Sect’s Inner Sect Senior Sister Yu Lanxin! Comprehended eighty percent Perfect Sword Intent! This time entering the Seven-Colored Spring, she is likely preparing to impact Nine Sword Intent.”
Luo Cheng nodded, this woman is indeed unfathomable.
Perhaps sensing the gaze, Yu Lanxin suddenly turned her sight towards Luo Cheng.
Top seed disciple Qi Yue stood beside Yu Lanxin, noticing the scene, immediately whispered beside her.
Seeing her disdainful expression, clearly, it wasn’t anything good.
“Oh? Top three…”
Hearing Luo Cheng wants to compete for the top three in this test, Yu Lanxin’s eyes flickered with surprise.
“Giggle, he sure speaks boldly.”
“He wants to compete for the top three? Isn’t that stepping on us?”
Yu Lanxin didn’t care, but the two top seed disciples beside her expressed displeasure, their eyes sharp.
If Luo Cheng was a top seed disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, at least identities would match, and he’d have the qualification to say such words!
But an ordinary core disciple, awakening a Wasted Martial Soul, dared to say this, he somewhat didn’t put them in his eyes.
Their voices were not deliberately lowered and the news spread quickly, causing a great stir on the platform, all eyes focused on Luo Cheng.
The absolute majority considered this as a joke, thinking it was Luo Cheng’s daydream, dreaming in daylight.
Luo Cheng felt everyone’s gaze, sighed in his heart, the test hadn’t even begun and he was already the target of everyone!
About an hour later, all the disciples participating in the test had arrived, totaling two to three hundred people.
Luoxia Sect disciples in the audience, more than two to three thousand!
As time passed, the mist on the lake gradually thinned, and more than ten miles away, a small island appeared in everyone’s view.
The island was shrouded in colorful mist, vegetation was lush, ancient trees towering, and in the middle, faintly visible was a massive mountain peak towering three thousand feet high, exuding an intimidating aura!
Yan Qingshuang looked at the peak, introducing, “That’s Mimeng Zang Mountain.”
Luo Cheng nodded, though separated by more than ten miles, he could faintly sense an extremely oppressive and terrifying aura, reaching the peak would not be easy.
This moment, an Inner Sect Elder of the Luoxia Sect stood up, as his gaze swept, an invisible pressure spread, and all around instantly fell silent.
Looking towards the two to three hundred taking the test, this elder said aloud:
“To enter the Seven-Colored Spring for cultivation, one must have enough tenacious perseverance and an extraordinary will! This time, the sect has allocated fifteen spots, only if you can be among the top fifteen to climb Mimeng Zang Mountain can you enter the Seven-Colored Spring for cultivation!”
“This test is also a sharpening for you, give it your all! Begin!”
