Chapter 42: Ning Suyan, whose strength has skyrocketed
Looking at Ye Qingchen who suddenly appeared on the competition stage, Mengba's heart was beating wildly.
"What's going on?! Did the black and white evil spirits fail?! This is impossible!"
The black and white evil spirits have never failed!
How could he be defeated by such a small Guiyuan Realm boy?!
And just after hearing what Ye Qingchen said, Mengba felt even colder all over his body.
"Does he know that I was the one who invited the black and white evil spirits?!"
Shaking his head, Mengba quickly suppressed the unrealistic thoughts in his heart and put a smile on his face.
"Junior brother Ye, what you said is a joke... Why wouldn't senior brother not want to see you?"
"During this period, stories and rumors related to you have been circulating in the hospital. Even I feel ashamed, so I have wanted to meet you for a long time."
"It's just that junior brother has been away from the inner courtyard during this period, so I can't meet you, which is quite a pity."
"It is an honor for me to meet you now and maybe even fight with you."
Seeing Mengba's sudden change of attitude, the other disciples in the inner courtyard were dumbfounded.
In their impression, Mengba would never be so nice to others!
"Really? Then the ranking battle will start later, but I have to ask my senior brother to show mercy."
Ye Qingchen said with sarcasm.
The elders at the elders' table looked at each other with confusion, and they all saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
How could they not hear that Ye Qingchen was targeting Mengba in his words?
"Junior Brother Xiao, did you have a problem with your apprentice before?"
The fifth elder frowned and said.
Xiao Lin was stunned and quickly shook his head: "No...no. They have never met before, how could there be a holiday?"
Hearing this, the fifth elder withdrew his gaze, but his brows still did not loosen.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, the Xuanyu ranking battle can begin."
The Great Elder said calmly: "The nine direct disciples will prepare for the battle first, and let the remaining ninety participating disciples draw lots to fight first."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen and others walked off the competition stage and entered the preparation seats.
"Ye Qingchen, where have you been during this time? Why are you here so late?"
Ning Suyan stood beside Ye Qingchen and asked worriedly.
There seemed to be a faint peculiar body fragrance on her body, which swept into Ye Qingchen's nose.
Ye Qingchen's mind couldn't help but waver for a moment, then he smiled and said:
"It's nothing. Something happened over there in Yunjiang City. I went back and stayed there for a while."
Meng Ba asked Ning Suyan to assassinate him, but he couldn't tell it to Ning Suyan for the time being.
After he defeated Mengba, he planned to reveal the matter personally in public!
He wants Mengba to pay a heavy price for his actions!
"By the way, have you encountered any adventures during this period? How did your cultivation suddenly increase so much?"
Ye Qingchen asked in turn, with a look of surprise on his face.
He could sense that Ning Suyan's aura at this moment was already at the early stage of the Star Gathering Realm!
In an instant, he was far behind!
Mentioning this matter, a touch of excitement appeared on Ning Suyan's rosy face.
"Master took me to an ancient ruins far away from Yunfeng City a month ago."
"At that time, I had already entered the Guiyuan Realm, and Master took me to search for the most suitable treasures in the ancient ruins or treasures that could quickly improve my cultivation."
"After all, even though I have entered the Guiyuan Realm, I am still very weak among the direct disciples, not even as good as those ordinary inner courtyard disciples."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen nodded slightly.
Although the top ten direct disciples will all have fixed resources allocated.
But sometimes, if you want to quickly improve your strength, it is most likely to try your luck in the secret realms of ruins outside.
"Master discovered a place of inheritance in the ruins, which is very suitable for me who just broke through."
Ning Suyan smiled sweetly and said: "When I just accepted the inheritance, Master was suddenly startled by me."
"She said that I have a very high affinity with this inheritance. After the inheritance is completed, the 'Yuxia Spirit Body' will be awakened directly!"
"Yuxia spirit body!"
Ye Qingchen was shocked.
The Yuxia spirit body is a cultivation physique that is rare in the entire history of Mowu Continent.
Rumor has it that a person with this physique must be a woman and have an unparalleled affinity for heaven and earth. When they reach the state of enlightenment, they can additionally comprehend the second law!
In this way, in the Dharma Enlightenment realm, warriors with Yuxia Spiritual Body will have few opponents!
"Later, not only did I successfully awaken the 'Yuxia Spirit Body', I also broke through to the second level of the Star Gathering Realm!"
Ning Suyan smiled and said: "Now I can also help you, and I won't hold you back anymore!"
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen was startled, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the reason why Ning Suyan wanted to improve her strength so quickly was just to not hold him back.
Ye Qingchen sighed lightly, deeply feeling her affection.
It's just that I don't know how to respond yet...
On the competition stage, the ninety disciples were divided into various areas of the competition stage and began the competition.
The scope of the competition platform is very large, even if it is divided into ten areas, it is still more than enough.
These ninety disciples need to compete in two rounds in total. After the rankings are alternated in the first round, the low-ranking disciples will challenge the high-ranking disciples to start the second round of ranking battle.
After the two rounds were over, the rankings of the ninety disciples were fixed.
The ranking battle between direct disciples is even simpler.
Low-ranking direct disciples can directly select high-ranking disciples and challenge them.
Each direct disciple has three opportunities to challenge.
After three challenge opportunities are used up, or the remaining opportunities are given up, the ranking will be fixed.
To put it simply, this is equivalent to a defensive battle for high-ranking disciples.
When the ranking battle between direct disciples ends, the remaining participants who are not direct disciples can have an opportunity to challenge the direct disciples and try to replace their ranking positions.
Half a day passed quickly.
The two rounds of ranking battles are all over.
Overall, not much has changed.
The real highlight is the upcoming battle between the top ten direct disciples!
No, strictly speaking, he is a direct disciple of the Nine Great Masters.
"Next, it's time for the nine direct disciples to start the ranking battle."
At this moment, a faint smile finally appeared on the great elder's serious face.
Each of the ten direct disciples will be the future pillar of Xuanyu Academy.
The strength and potential they have shown will determine where they can go in the future!
"Junior Sister Wen, let your apprentice appear."
Hearing this, Wen Ziling nodded, and when her cold gaze shifted to Ning Suyan, it turned into a soft gaze.
"Yan'er, please come on stage."
"Yes, Master."
Ning Suyan responded, and after saying hello to Ye Qingchen, she jumped onto the competition stage.
As soon as she appeared, she attracted all the attention in the room.
Because her appearance can be said to be outstanding even in the inner courtyard.
At this moment, there were already many male disciples in the audience who were attracted to her.
Ning Suyan took a gentle breath, exhaled slowly, and adjusted herself to the best condition.
Then she spoke softly: "I want to challenge Senior Brother Li."
As soon as the words fell, a burst of exclamations broke out in the audience.
The "Senior Brother Li" she refers to is Li Luo, who ranks sixth!
Li Luo possesses the cultivation level of the fourth level of Star Gathering Realm!
Li Luo, who was in the preparation table, was also stunned, slightly surprised by Ning Suyan's behavior.
Logically speaking, it would be safer for her to challenge the ninth-ranked disciple.
But there is no use thinking about it at this time.
He nodded lightly, stepped on his feet, and appeared on the competition stage.
"Since Junior Sister Ning wants to challenge me, I have no choice but to accompany you."
Li Luo's blue robe fluttered in the wind, and she looked quite elegant.
"The competition... begins!"
Following the order from the war supervisor elder, Ning Suyan instantly summoned a light sword and rushed towards Li Luo.
Facing a woman, Li Luo would not take the first shot. Instead, he easily dodged Ning Suyan's sword blows several times before summoning his own weapon and started to counterattack.
The fight between the two was a bit fierce, but Li Luo always had the upper hand.
Looking at the two people fighting on the stage, the Sixth Elder smiled slightly and said:
"Junior Sister Wen, it seems that the bad guys are going to win this battle."
"The winner has not been decided yet, senior brother, don't be too happy too early."
Wen Ziling smiled slightly.
The Sixth Elder was stunned for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and his eyes quickly turned to the competition platform.
I saw that Ning Suyan's aura had undergone some subtle changes at some point, and her temperament became as ethereal as a fairy.
As her body changed like this, her aura suddenly became stronger when she took action, and she suppressed Li Luo in a few rounds!
Li Luodun was shocked and began to attack with all his strength.
However, no matter what methods he used, they were all cracked by Ning Suyan, and he fell into an even worse situation.
After half a stick of incense, Li Luo's body suddenly froze.
I saw a long sword exuding an aura of lightness pressed against his throat.
As long as he moves even slightly, this sword can kill him.
"Junior sister Ning really hides it well... Li Luo admires her."
Li Luo said helplessly, and immediately had to admit defeat, turned around and stepped down.
Ning Suyan smiled mischievously and immediately announced that she had given up the remaining two challenge opportunities.
Everyone present was stunned and confused by her behavior.
She was the only one who knew that Ye Qingchen must have some grudge against Meng Ba, who ranked fifth.
This kind of opponent would naturally have to be dealt with by Ye Qingchen himself.
As for the direct disciples ranked fourth and above, she naturally has no certainty of victory.
Therefore, she simply gave up the remaining opportunities and left the competition stage.
Ye Qingchen seemed to be aware of her intention, sighed helplessly and said:
"Actually, you don't have to think about me so much."
"It's okay, I like this."
Ning Suyan smiled.
Then the ninth-ranked disciple wanted to challenge Ye Qingchen, but within a few rounds, he was defeated by Ye Qingchen!
This strength shocked everyone present.
A month ago, he had to use all his strength to deal with Liu Juefeng.
Now it only takes a few rounds to defeat a ninth-ranked disciple!
It didn’t take much effort at all!
After sending the ninth-ranked disciple off the stage, Ye Qingchen's eyes suddenly locked on Meng Ba who was in the preparation table.
