241: Chapter 136 Fierce Battle_3 241: Chapter 136 Fierce Battle_3 “Even so, we can go all out in battle, which serves our purpose to train ourselves without jeopardizing Master’s bet,”
The other four disciples nodded in agreement.
“Let’s do that.”
“Little junior sister, since you’re the youngest, you’ll start the challenges first.”
“Little junior sister, have you set your target yet?”
Yi Sheng pointed in one direction of the bamboo tablet: “Yes, ranked nine hundred and ninety-three.”
“Ranked nine hundred and ninety-three from Little Zen Peak, Wu Wei, with six golden cores.”
“Offenders from Little Zen Peak?
It was them who first started spreading bad rumors about Master.
We’ll strike them first!”
“However, with six golden cores, while you haven’t reached core formation yet, junior sister, isn’t the gap between you and him a bit too great?”
“But among the disciples from Little Zen Peak that I’m able to challenge, he’s the most suitable one,” Yi Sheng said with difficulty, looking at her martial brothers and sisters, “Junior sister…
I will definitely try my hardest and will not disgrace our sect.”
“Let’s just choose him,” Xiang Ziyu called out, “What’s there to fear?
As a protagonist, I can fight beyond the boundaries of our cultivation realms, and as the protagonist’s junior sister, you naturally possess such abilities too.
Even though you may not be as capable as your senior brother, you can still…
”
“Shut up,” Yan Yourong interrupted Xiang Ziyu directly.
At this point in time, that junior brother of hers was starting to act up again!
“It’s dangerous to talk to the protagonist in that manner, even if you are my senior sister…”
Yi Sheng had already chosen her opponent for the challenge, yet, she didn’t have the opportunity to immediately engage in battle.
After all, with only ten stages below, at most twenty individuals could fight at the same time, and the combat had just begun.
Uncountable people were lining up for the challenge, and it would be a slow wait before it was her turn.
While she waited, disciples like Ling Xi and Yan Yourong had also selected their desired opponents.
However, the one ahead of them in the queue was Chao Zi from Seven Star Peak.
Beneath one of the stages, a judge in charge loudly announced, “On the ‘C’ stage, Chao Zi from Seven Star Peak is challenging competitor number one thousand, five hundred and thirty-two, Guo YanTing from Purple Feather Peak with one golden core.”
As the stage master, one downside was that your cultivation realm was directly written on the bamboo tablet, but the challenger’s cultivation realm wasn’t disclosed to the stage master.
“Someone from Purple Feather Peak?” Cao Zhen’s expression changed slightly.
Previously, when he was selling divine weapons, people from Purple Feather Peak had also approached him, but he really didn’t have any divine weapons left from Purple Feather Peak seniors, so he ended up not selling any to them.
Still, he didn’t understand what the people from Purple Feather Peak were thinking, following other peaks in slandering him, calling him shameless and whatnot.
Chao Zi’s choice for his first challenge wasn’t someone from another peak, but curiously a person from Purple Feather Peak.
Was he…
Although ten stages all had ongoing battles, people, depending on their peak’s rank, paid attention to different fighters.
Those from the bottom fifty peaks, especially the last ten peaks, naturally paid more attention to those ranked close to them.
Seven Star Peak had unexpectedly won five peak bamboos in the Hundred Peaks competition, so not only the last ten peaks but also those from the last twenty peaks started focusing on Seven Star Peak.
Hearing that Chao Zi was setting out to challenge, they all turned their eyes toward the stage.
“People from Seven Star Peak?”
“That Chao Zi, he’s the top disciple of Seven Star Peak, isn’t he?”
“Him?
I recall he hasn’t even crossed the Immortal Bridge, and yet he dares to challenge someone who’s at the Core Formation Stage?”
“Isn’t he asking to be beaten up?”
“What on earth is he thinking?”
Many from the lower twenty peaks sighed softly; if Chao Zi fails the challenge, he wouldn’t have another chance.
And as far as they knew, Chao Zi was the strongest disciple of Seven Star Peak.
Thus, in the upcoming contests, Seven Star Peak probably wouldn’t win any more peak bamboo, eliminating the threat from them.
According to the rules of the competition, you must accept a challenge as long as it comes, and as long as you weren’t severely injured, regardless of how many had challenged you before.
Hearing the judge’s loud cry, Guo YanTing flew down from the sky and landed on the stage.
Looking curiously at Chao Zi across him, he asked bewilderedly, “I’m quite curious, junior brother, why do you wish to challenge me?”
When disciples from the bottom ten peaks challenge him, it did amuse him somewhat.
As far as he knew, apart from Four Treasures Peak, no other peak within the bottom ten had disciples at the Core Formation Stage.
Challenge him?
What was this person thinking?
“No reason.
I’m challenging you simply because I find you irritating,” Chao Zi didn’t even bother being polite; he just found people from Purple Feather Peak annoying.
He knew about Cao Zhen’s divine weapon sale.
The people from other peaks ultimately bought Cao Zhen’s divine weapons, so he didn’t say much.
However, since Cao Zhen hadn’t sold divine weapons to Purple Feather Peak, and yet Purple Feather Peak people were badmouthing him too, he couldn’t stand it.
So, the first one he decided to challenge was a disciple from Purple Feather Peak!
“You find me disagreeable?
I intended to teach you a lesson, but now, I’ve changed my mind.
Soon you will know the consequences of provoking me,” Guo YanTing’s gaze became sharp instantly.
When did low-ranked disciples from Ninety-Nine Peak dare to provoke those from Twenty Peak!
“You talk too much,” Chao Zi’s expression turned cold, and his fighting power burst forth in an instant.
Behind him, ten ethereal Daoist platforms emerged, and then, ten ethereal Immortal Bridges stretched across the space.
