Chapter 256 – Natural Born Sword Cultivator
Chapter 256 – Natural Born Sword Cultivator
It was only after a long time that someone spoke softly, “The disciple knows that he is wrong, and has no tolerance for his fellow disciples.”
“Uncle Yue, disciple knows the mistake, I shouldn’t treat and make fun of fellow disciples so harshly.”
Yue Lingzheng swept his gaze over the trio and spoke in a serious tone.
“As elite disciples of the Easy Sect, you and others not only have to be upright, but also have to harbor a generous and tolerant heart, otherwise what’s the use of having a high cultivation?”
“Disciples honor the teachings of Senior Uncle.”
Yue Lingzheng nodded slightly and did not say any more.
He was able to tell that these few disciples, sincerely recognized their own faults.
Doing something wrong is never scary, cultivators are mortal, not sages, who can’t make mistakes?
What is scary is that after doing something wrong, they are still trying to cover up and escape.
On the contrary, recognize their own faults, to correct them and take warning, then the merits and faults can be offset.
Yue Lingzheng believes that as long as the disciples of all peaks work together and watch out for each other, the clan will be able to cross over even if it encounters a great calamity.
After listening to Senior Uncle Yue’s teachings, several other disciples also benefited greatly.
The rise and fall of a sect relies not only on the high-ranking cultivators, but also on the efforts of each and every cultivator.
Otherwise, even if the sect could be strong for a while, it would be difficult for it to survive for a long time.
After Yue Lingzheng’s teachings, the cohesion amongst the disciples of the Easy Sect was clearly on a higher level than before.
And it was under such an atmosphere that the ring match arrived as scheduled.
According to the rules, the Wan Jian Sect, the first place winner of the previous Five Sect Competition, sent out a disciple to guard the ring and accept the challenges from the disciples of the other four sects in turn.
The first disciple who guarded the ring was credited with one point, and thereafter, all disciples, regardless of whether they succeeded in guarding the ring or won the challenge, would be given an additional point for each win.
After the previous two rounds of the Grand Competition, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was at the bottom of the rankings, and the disciples had long been rubbing their fists and waiting for this day to come.
Xu Chuniang had just walked to the ring field when she heard yelling coming from the left.
“Open cackle open cackle, who will be the rising star of the Foundation Establishment generation in the much-anticipated ring match?”
“Xiao Qi of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Ye Yu’er of the Cold Mountain Sect, and that natural born Buddhist son of the Infinite Sect, who will be the heavenly pride with the most consecutive victories?”
Only to see that not far away, a few disciples of the Myriad Dan Sect had actually set up a betting game in situ, constantly soliciting passersby to place their bets.
On the wooden cards they held up, the names of the several heavenly prides with the highest calls were written, and the odds were three to one.
Someone raised an objection, “I say you have these odds, they are too low, right?”
“Not too low, not too low, these three are the favorites, the kind that you basically won’t lose if you buy them. If you want high odds, buy someone else.”
The cultivator who opened the betting game snorted and said, “Although our Myriad Dan Sect’s disciples are good at refining pills, they really aren’t good at fighting. There’s also the Easy Sect disciples who have pretty high odds.”
“I’m not going to buy your Myriad Dan Sect and Easy Sect, isn’t that a losing trade? I’ll just buy senior brother Xiao Qi and senior sister Chen Xinlei of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for five hundred spirit stones each.”
“I’ll buy Ye Yu’er to win the most, one thousand spirit stones.”
“I’ll bet on Empty Phase of the Limitless Sect, eight hundred spirit stones.”
Xu Chuniang listened from the side for a while before realizing that there were almost none of those who had bought the Easy Disciple.
“Are you betting on everyone here?”
“That’s for sure, the odds are written here, the higher the strength the lower the odds.”
Xu Chuniang swept through the wooden plaques and found the place with her name written underneath the Easy Sect, the odds were as high as one to twenty.
Compared to most of her fellow sect members who had odds of one to thirty, or even one to fifty, her odds were actually quite low.
Perhaps it was so because a few days ago, Little Orange had shown her hand.
“Buy Xu Chuniang to win the most, thirty thousand spirit stones.”
“Alright!”
The casino owner’s face broke into a smile, reaching out to receive the spirit stones before handing over a contract that was quickly written, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly renege. This kind of patron who made a bold move, he had received several of them early in the morning, and they would often lose their money to the point of no return.
Xu Chuniang received the contract and put it away, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
She had offset most of the spirit stones on her body. So for the next ring match, she would definitely put her best foot forward.
After all, if she won, it would be a whole 600,000 spirit stones!
As the disciples of the five clans arrived one after another, the ring match was finally announced to have officially begun.
It was then that a Ten Thousand Swords Sect female cultivator jumped onto the ring ahead of the others, her gaze sweeping over the entire arena with a deep coldness.
“Chen Xinlei of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, guarding the ring.”
Her appearance caused the people of the other four sects to be moved.
“Chen Xinlei, is that Thunder Shocking Fairy who is on par with Xiao Qi?”
“Rumor has it that she was born with a sword in her arms, her hand of Thrilling Thunder Sword Technique is pure, and that she was able to resist Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the Qi Practicing Stage without losing, and that she is a natural sword cultivator.”
“The Ten Thousand Swords Sect let Chen Xinlei be the first to go on stage, it’s coming on strong.”
The left elder of the Cold Mountain Sect frowned slightly, “Yu Zhi, you’re the first to challenge, be careful.”
“Yes.”
After a young man answered in a deep voice, he crossed the crowd and stepped onto the ring, arching his hand towards Chen Xinlei, “Zhang Yuzhi of the Cold Mountain Sect, come to challenge.”
“If you want to fight, then, fight!”
Chen Xinlei’s entire aura changed, like a sharp sword coming out of its sheath, stern and resolute.
The sword in her hand came out like a rainbow, faster than a shock, with hidden flashes of lightning, heading towards Zhang Yuzhi.
Zhang Yuzhi’s heart was shocked, so fast sword!
He hastily calm his heart, will lock the heart mirror will be offered to protect the important places around the body, at the same time, the body to the right to dodge the front for the time being.
Chen Xin Lei sword move is not old, holding the sword unexpectedly a pick, when the chest stabbed.
Zhang Yuzhi saw that he couldn’t avoid it, and only had time to block the Heart Locking Mirror in front of his chest.
“Ding!”
Only a crunching sound was heard, followed by the Heart Locking Mirror vibrating.
Zhang Yuzhi’s chest stagnated, and even though the Heart Locking Mirror had resisted most of the attacks, he still had a feeling of his blood boiling.
Chen Xinlei did not give him a chance to catch his breath, a new sword attacked again with a thunderous momentum.
In the ring, at first, Zhang Yuzhi was still able to barely resist a bit, but the later it got, the more powerless he became, almost becoming a one-sided situation.
Watching this scene, the disciples of the four sects looked solemn. Especially the disciples of the Cold Mountain Sect had the heaviest mood.
“Master Zhang is good at defense, but he couldn’t go more than thirty moves under Chen Xinlei’s hand… Sword cultivator’s power, is it even this strong?”
“Chen Xinlei is a natural sword cultivator, she is already much stronger than the average sword cultivator, I only hope that Zhang shidi can hold out longer, or at least consume more of her strength.”
Obviously, Zhang Yuzhi, who was on the field, had the same thought in his mind, to consume his opponent’s spiritual strength at all costs.
It was just that the strength of the two was no longer on the same level in the end, and it didn’t take long for him to spit out blood and seriously injure himself, passing out.
Chen Xinlei was victorious in her first battle, but her face did not have the slightest color of triumph, her gaze calmly looked in the direction of the Limitless Sect, waiting for the next challenger.
It seemed that defeating Zhang Yuzhi was nothing to her at all.
Master Pu Hui of the Limitless Sect uttered a Buddha’s name, “Wujuang, you may go.”
Wujuang answered and went up to the stage, clasping his hands together towards Chen Xinlei.
“Infinite Sect Gouzhuang, I have come to challenge you, please teach me.”
Thank you to Dao Friends Pingping, Two One No Two, and Cestina for their rewards, as well as the support of your friends!
