Chapter 2172 - 2172: The Contest at Wuyuan 3
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yuan Jia, a highly gifted disciple of the Fist Sect, possessed a pure spiritual root, enabling rapid progress in her martial practice.
Although Yuan Jia lacked the qualifications to compete on Wuyuan Island the previous year, this year was a different story.
Just a few days ago, she had achieved a breakthrough to the 6th Heaven of the Paragon Warrior, and now she was on the brink of ascending to the 7th Heaven, earning her a prominent position within the Fist Sect.
Pending her performance in the upcoming contest, he was prepared to accept Yuan Jia as his final disciple. Consequently, when Yuan Jia’s name was mentioned, Elder Man was in high spirits.
“Very well,” Elder Man responded calmly.
While Elder Man from the Beastmaster Sect didn’t particularly concern himself with Yuan Jia, he couldn’t ignore the words of the Fist Sect’s Elder Man, given that Gu Chaoyan, a disciple of the Beastmaster Sect, was involved.
Upon arriving at the arena, representatives from the various sects engaged in casual conversation.
“It appears that the Supreme Sect has been nurturing an abundance of talented disciples in recent years, and this year’s contestants are no exception, ” remarked individuals from the Fengyue Sect upon spotting members of the Supreme Sect.
“Indeed. Fengyue Sect has consistently stood as our equal,” replied Elder Lin.
The pleasantries exchanged between the major sects were lengthy but insincere.
Gu Chaoyan’s patience waned, prompting her to s.h.i.+ft her focus to what truly interested her—the members of the Moon Sect.
The individuals from the Moon Sect carried themselves with an air of openness and integrity, far removed from the demeanor of thieves.
What was happening with them?
After the initial pleasantries, it was time for the contest to commence.
Each sect had nominated two disciples, and if the first disciple was not defeated, another would step in.
The rules closely mirrored those of typical contests, with only minor variations.
The disciples from the other sects conducted themselves with admirable composure. They were all skilled pract.i.tioners, nearly reaching the level of Paragon Warriors. Victory hinged on their martial prowess.
The outcomes were determined swiftly, leaving many sects eliminated within a few hours.
Meanwhile, at the Supreme Sect’s arena, Lv Zhengyang faced off against a Moon Sect disciple.
Lv Zhengyang exuded confidence, having carefully observed the compet.i.tion beforehand. Most partic.i.p.ants had displayed subpar reactions, leading Lv Zhengyang to believe he could excel.
He possessed a comprehensive skill set and had no intention of allowing anyone from the Moon Sect to gain an advantage over him.
“Begin,” Lv Zhengyang uttered coldly.
Members of the Moon Sect exchanged smiles and signaled for the contest to commence.
The duel unfolded.
The two combatants were evenly matched, prompting Elder Man to crack a smile. “It appears that Zhengyang’s performance is more consistent than the disciples from other schools. Those individuals typically falter within ten moves, but Zhengyang has already engaged in over 20 exchanges, and he holds the upper hand.”
As a disciple of the Beastmaster Sect, Lv Zhengyang’s victory in the contest would be a source of great pride for the sect.
Furthermore, winning the contest would grant him access to the water supply for a six-month period. By then, Zhengyang antic.i.p.ated reaching a higher level of proficiency.
Undoubtedly, the Beastmaster Sect held substantial power and influence.
Elder Man, representing the Beastmaster Sect, brimmed with joy as he contemplated the potential benefits.
Lv Zhengyang’s triumph would also bestow significant advantages upon the Supreme Sect, which elicited great satisfaction from the other Elder Men.
Lv Zhengyang’s confidence swelled, and he harbored intentions of concluding the contest swiftly.
In fact, he was on the verge of unleas.h.i.+ng his full strength…
