Chapter 66
Senior Sister's Late-Night Visit
Chu Huai Ren's address to Qin Yi sounded truly inspiring.
But no one present believed it!
Chu Huai Ren, the prince of Great Chu... those who know him know his style.
Qin Yi nodded to Chu Huai Ren and said solemnly, "I also look forward to a fierce duel with you!"
Everyone: "..."
The second round of competition begins.
The first to appear were disciples from Yuheng Palace Cave and Tianji Palace, both of whom were at the second level of the Cave Heaven Realm.
The disciples of Yuheng Palace were victorious.
The second player to appear was Song Gui from Tianxuan Palace. His opponent was still from Tianshu Palace, a guy at the second level of the Cave Heaven Realm.
Song Gui won.
……
In the fourth battle, Feng Linglong ascended the Starlight Platform.
Her opponent was from Kaiyang Palace, and was a promising candidate from Kaiyang Palace, a female disciple with a cultivation level of the third level of the Cave Heaven Realm.
This time, even though Feng Linglong went all out and used the Wind Sweeps Away Clouds again, it was ineffective. She was defeated in less than ten rounds.
She stepped down from the Starlight Stage.
Qin Yi looked at Feng Linglong and said, "Senior Sister Feng..."
Before Qin Yi could finish speaking...
Feng Linglong said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's normal to lose this match, and I can accept it."
"Now it's up to you, Junior Brother Qin."
"I can also stop thinking about anything else and focus solely on cheering you on!"
Qin Yi hummed in agreement.
In the seventh match, it was Qin Yi's turn to face Chu Huai Ren from Tianquan Palace.
After the two ascended the Starlight Platform.
Chu Huai Ren looked solemn and serious, and said, "Brother Qin, you are a Golden Core prodigy. Although you are only at the Core Formation stage, your combat power is extremely strong, and your swordsmanship is extremely sharp."
"It is my honor to play against you."
"But I'm not bad either. Everyone thinks that I, Chu Huai Ren, am an oddball prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, but no one knows how much sweat I've shed in places that no one can see."
"Alright, stop wasting time!" The Palace Master of Tianquan Palace was extremely embarrassed and quickly interrupted Chu Huai Ren.
Qin Yi drew his sword, its blade pointing directly at Chu Huai Ren, and said, "Please!"
Chu Huai-ren nodded and said, "Then you'd better be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Huai-ren launched an attack.
Qin Yi, relying on his exquisite swordsmanship, engaged in a fierce battle with Chu Huai Ren.
Chu Huai Ren's original idea was to have Qin Yi withstand ten moves for him.
However, Qin Yi gave Hong Gui of Yaoguang Palace more than fifty moves. Chu Huai Ren was stronger than Hong Gui, so Qin Yi fought Chu Huai Ren for more than sixty moves before defeating him.
Chu Huai-ren retreated to the edge of the Starlight Platform, nearly falling off. He sighed, then his eyes shone with an incomparably brilliant light, and he exclaimed, "Awesome!"
"This is what a battle between men should be like!"
"This is so exciting!"
"Although I lost, I gained many insights from this battle!"
In this world, who dares to claim invincibility? Who can say they are undefeated? Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is failing to recognize oneself after failure, or even becoming trapped in the shadow of defeat!
"And I, Chu Huai-ren, will only grow stronger with each setback!"
"I will treat failure as a stepping stone, taking it one step at a time until I reach the summit!"
Everyone felt that Chu Huai-ren had won; this guy was too passionate and impassioned…
"Brother Qin!"
"I accept defeat wholeheartedly!"
"But I won't lose to you forever!"
"I also hope you won't lose yourself because of your current victory!"
"I look forward to the day when I can meet you... at the summit!"
Qin Yi: "...With Brother Chu's mindset, one day he will surely reach the pinnacle!"
After saying that, Qin Yi turned around and left the Starlight Platform.
He's not thick-skinned enough; he can't take it.
On the contrary, Chu Huai Ren, who lost to Qin Yi, still wanted to talk loudly on the Starlight Platform. In the end, the Palace Master of Tianquan Palace personally came down from the high platform and dragged Chu Huai Ren out of the Starlight Platform.
……
The Ninth Battle.
Tong Yao, a disciple of Tian Shu Palace with a cultivation level of the fourth level of the Cave Heaven Realm, is fighting against a female disciple of Yao Guang Palace with a cultivation level of the third level of the Cave Heaven Realm.
Tong Yao kept his left hand behind his back and did not use any weapons. He defeated Yao Guang Palace's seed player in twelve moves.
This is once again awe-inspiring, highlighting Tong Yao's formidable strength.
The winner of this Tianxing Grand Competition is already a foregone conclusion.
……
The second round of competition has ended.
The top ten list has been released.
Four people from Tian Shu Palace made it into the top ten.
Two people from Tianxuan Palace.
Kaiyang Palace didn't have a single player in the top ten.
The other four houses each have one.
Among those who made it into the top ten, apart from Qin Yi, who was at the Core Formation stage, the second-to-last person in terms of cultivation level was at the second level of the Cave Heaven stage, and there was only one of them.
The remaining eight people, seven of whom are at the third level of the Cave Heaven Realm.
And Tong Yao, a fourth-level cultivator of the Cave Heaven Realm.
By this time, it was already dark.
Bai Changtian, the dean of Tianxing Martial Academy, gave each of the top ten young disciples a Rejuvenation Pill, and then announced that the battle for the top ten would be held tomorrow.
The lottery will be held tomorrow.
The purpose of this arrangement is to allow these ten people a night to recover properly so that they can perform at their best and demonstrate their full strength.
With Bai Changtian's command, the crowd around the Starlight Platform dispersed.
…………
Tianxuan Palace.
Qin Yi's residence.
Qin Yi, Yun Meng'er, Feng Linglong, and Feng Ao stood in front of Mu Wan.
Mu Wan first looked at Feng Linglong and said, "Linglong, I know about your matter. If you don't want to go back, I can stand up for you."
Feng Linglong cupped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Palace Master, but this is the responsibility and mission of a member of the Great Feng royal family, and I must face it."
"Senior Sister Feng, what exactly happened?" Qin Yi asked.
Feng Linglong said, "Junior Brother Qin, don't worry, it's nothing serious, just something that needs to be done. You just focus on preparing for the upcoming competition."
Mu Wan hummed in agreement. She looked at Qin Yi and said, "Although I know that you didn't go all out in your battles with Hong Gui and Chu Huai Ren today, starting tomorrow, the competition to advance from the top ten to the top five will be much more difficult. Don't be careless."
Qin Yi nodded to indicate that he understood, and said, "Palace Master, I will take this seriously."
Mu Wan's gaze swept over Yun Meng'er, and then she said, "Meng'er, I've recently consulted some ancient texts, and I've gained a better understanding of your Heavenly Talisman Spirit Yin Body. Come with me tonight, and I'll give you some guidance in your cultivation."
That's just an excuse.
She just felt that young people didn't know how to control themselves.
We need to keep an eye on it.
To prevent Qin Yi from messing things up, affecting his performance, and delaying tomorrow's competition.
Upon hearing this, Feng Linglong, who was standing to the side, had a hint of joy in her eyes.
Although Yun Meng'er felt it was a bit strange that Mu Wan was instructing her on cultivation so late at night, she still nodded and said, "Thank you, Palace Master!"
Before Mu Wan took Yun Meng'er away, she solemnly instructed Qin Yi: "Do not try to practice sword techniques, nor try to improve your cultivation. There is only one thing you need to do tonight, and that is to calm your mind."
"Yes!" Qin Yi said.
Mu Wan also took Feng Linglong and Feng Ao with her.
After Feng Linglong and Feng Ao returned to their residence.
Feng Ao sighed, his expression grave, and said, "Sister, it must have been your order that caused me to lose contact with even the Great Feng Dynasty's spies. Can you tell me the truth? I am your own brother, the Great Feng Prince!"
Feng Linglong took out a pill and handed it to Feng Ao: "Eat it."
Feng Ao: "What kind of pill?"
"This is for healing your wounds," Feng Linglong said expressionlessly.
Feng Ao took the pill: "If I take it, will you tell me?"
"Mm." Feng Linglong nodded.
Feng Ao took the pill and then said, "Sister, can we talk now...?"
next moment.
Feng Ao closed his eyes and fell straight backward.
Feng Linglong grabbed Feng Ao's bandaged arm and threw him onto the bed.
She returned to her room, took a shower, and changed her clothes.
She changed into her favorite red dress.
I looked in the mirror and put on my best makeup.
After carefully dressing up, Feng Linglong stood up, left the room, and disappeared into the night in a flash.
In just a moment, she quietly arrived at Qin Yi's residence.
Standing outside the door, Feng Linglong took a deep breath, and the last trace of hesitation in her expression vanished...
