Chapter 808 - 752: Borrowing Your Auspicious Words (For Yue Tickets)

Chapter 808: Chapter 752: Borrowing Your Auspicious Words (For Yue Tickets)

Everyone thought the match between Shi Yuming and Wu Yang would be spectacular. After all, they were both considered top-tier geniuses from the Upper Realm and were the first ones to confront each other in the first tier.

But in reality, the match was so boring it could put people to sleep.

As soon as Shi Yuming took the stage, he shook his arms and shouted, ’Immovable as a Mountain.’

Then, from beginning to end, he stood completely still, allowing the small Wu Yang to jump about like a monkey, swinging his axe with clangs and clatters in an attempt to split the mountain.

Sparks flew, but the mountain remained, and Wu Yang’s axe nearly became dull, unable to break Shi Yuming’s ’Immovable as a Mountain.’

The onlookers yawned while praising Shi Yuming, saying he had truly inherited Immortal Monarch Cangliu’s true teachings.

The question Jiang Yuebai had been curious about earlier was also verified here.

The weapons of the Wu Family indeed could not surpass the defense of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect.

Wu Yang hacked at the mountain for nearly an hour, and by the time Jiang Yuebai had read two books, Wu Yang was panting like an ox, and the hidden injuries he sustained while fighting Muh Wushuang acted up. He swung his axe crookedly, causing it to smash heavily into the ground of the stage.

In the instant Wu Yang’s axe got stuck, the statue-like Shi Yuming suddenly unleashed a straight punch.

Bang!

The sound of the punch echoed like an explosion, sending Wu Yang flying to his defeat!

Seeing this, everyone admitted there was indeed a tiny bit of excitement, just a pinch, like the tip of a pinky finger.

With only Wu Yang and Wu Chao left from the Wu Family, and now with the younger brother Wu Yang defeated and ’toyed with’ for so long, his elder brother Wu Chao was furious, warning Shi Yuming right there to hope he wouldn’t face him in the next match, otherwise, he’d break his ’Immovable as a Mountain’ and split him in half!

As a result... his wish came true!

The ’considerate’ Mahayana Immortal Monarch couldn’t possibly let a sincerely praying child be disappointed. After the top twenty-five were decided, the fifth round draw matched Shi Yuming against Wu Chao.

The big bright characters in the sky made people gloat, and not even Jiang Yuebai drawing a bye for this round could capture attention as everyone noisily ran to the stage where Shi Yuming and Wu Chao would fight.

With Jiang Yuebai having a bye, she didn’t need to go on stage, so she joined the crowd watching the drama unfold below, waving her arms and shouting.

"Wu Chao, I’m rooting for you, smash Shi Yuming!"

"Smash Shi Yuming!"

"Smash Shi Yuming!"

The crowd chimed together, like waves crashing, filled with excitement.

Wu Chao, dragging an axe bigger than himself, raised his childish face, looking up at the towering, muscular warrior like an iron tower, small and covered by a huge shadow, pouting to the point of tears.

Utterly weak, pitiful, and helpless!

"Smash Shi Yuming!"

Jiang Yuebai continued chanting below, Wu Chao bared his teeth and turned to glare at her fiercely, an expression like ’just you wait.’

The result was that this match perfectly replicated the last one.

Immovable as a Mountain!

Clang clang clang!

Ah——

Bang!

Shi Yuming, victory!

Wu Chao happened to land right at Jiang Yuebai’s feet, and she clapped vigorously, eyes shining as she sincerely said to Wu Chao, "As expected of twins, exactly like your brother, even the big fall posture is identical, truly amazing!"

Wu Chao cursed and swore, eyes sharp as knives.

"Just wait til you face Shi Yuming, let’s see what tricks you have!"

Jiang Yuebai smiled, "I’ll take your kind words to heart!"

Wu Chao: .........

After the fifth-round matches, there were only thirteen names left floating in the sky, all as Jiang Yuebai expected, on her list.

[Pei Shengyue, Ye Tianlang, Jiangg Ling’er, Zuo Qiuhe, Fengg Zhuxin, Shi Yuming, Zhao Benlei, Jiang Yuebai, Lu Nanzhi, Shen Huaxi, Xie Jingshan, Zhuo Qingfeng, Zhuge Ziyin]

At that moment, in the Taibai Realm, atop the Observatory.

The names also glimmered before the eight Mahayana Immortal Monarchs.

Regarding Wu Chao and Wu Yang’s defeat by Shi Yuming, Immortal Monarch Wu Wei glanced at Immortal Monarch Cangliu, who was snoring on the Divine Black Tortoise’s back, and sighed helplessly.

She couldn’t break Cangliu’s defense either, so it was indeed akin to a lineage handed down.

Lord Yan Hua of the Vermilion Bird Realm scanned the names and, somewhat displeased, glanced over at Immortal Monarch Chongmin opposite, "A bit biased towards the Heavenly Interence Sect, letting three of them through, aren’t you?"

Chongmin remained indifferent, neither looking at Yan Hua nor responding.

Among the names, each realm stewarded by the Immortal Monarchs had only one sect or one person in the top thirteen, making the Heavenly Interence Sect’s three spots indeed appear inappropriate.

However, this wasn’t Chongmin to blame. This year’s Qingyun Conference was hosted by Immortal Monarch Fatian, who placed great emphasis on rules, so there must have been a good reason for such arrangements.

Momentarily, all eyes turned to Fatian.

Fatian stroked his beard and explained, "This unexpected emergence of the Heavenly Interence Sect truly makes it a dark horse this year. The disciples in the sect are also outstanding, no less than those meticulously nurtured by any of you. They have only just emerged from the Earth Spiritual Realm not long ago, so in this sense, the disciples of the Heavenly Interence Sect are slightly superior to yours."

"In the second test, the performances of Jiang Yuebai, Lu Nanzhi, and Shen Huaxi were witnessed by you all. Shen Huaxi was the one you specifically named to be tested, and I had to make things slightly easier for him to ensure he’d stay until the end."

"As for Jiang Yuebai, I’ve had a prior encounter with her. She carries a bit of strangeness, and I didn’t want her clashing with your disciples from the start for your sakes. Regarding Lu Nanzhi, she battled the sword cultivators from the Luofu Sword Sect in the first two rounds, and the results? She earned her place by strength, and there’s no disputing that from you."

"Additionally, I had another consideration. Lu Nanzhi is immensely powerful and coincidentally a demon cultivator. She has been personally taught by Chongmin for over thirty years. Chongmin’s character is well known among you; he is intolerant of those who harm the interests of the Human Clan."

"Therefore, if Lu Nanzhi has won Chongmin’s favor, her character must be trustworthy. I’m inclined to have her infiltrate the Demon Clan, sparing someone else the torment of transformation by the Spiritual Demon. Now it depends on whether she can reach the top three."

Fatian’s reasoning was sound and considerate of the larger picture, leaving everyone at a loss for words.

In reality, apart from the aggressive ones like Yan Hua, none of the other Mahayana Immortal Monarchs wanted their well-raised children to venture into the Demon Clan and risk mortal danger.

Yan Hua scanned the crowd, seeing through their thoughts with a cold snort.

"Your disciples have received the best resources from the sect and your special care since they started entering the Dao due to their outstanding talents. Whether gifted by the Heavenly Dao or by your support, they were born with more than others."

"Therefore, the more they must return to the world and the Human Clan. That is the cost of receiving and their mission. I hope you won’t let personal interests destroy the greater good, and prioritize the interest of the Human Clan!"

Fatian stood to the side, stroking his beard and nodding, while Yan Hua, with an impatient and assertive temper, was cherished by the Heavenly Dao in her cultivation, making advancement easier for her than others. Everything had its reasons; the Heavenly Dao wasn’t blind, seeing everything clearly.

"Fatian, for the next round, pair Shi Yuming against that Jiang Yuebai. I would like to see exactly how ’strange’ she is!"

Fatian’s hand paused mid-stroke of his beard, giving Yan Hua a peculiar look. Just the thought of that special Witty Words Collection, for argument without profanity, made his eyelid twitch.

The hand inside Chongmin’s sleeve slightly raised but stopped, hesitating before lowering it again.

Cangliu’s snoring paused, turning slightly, mumbling, "Why not have your Ye Tianlang try it, always picking on honest kids."

Holding a white tiger-striped cat with an ominous face, Immortal Monarch Bodu nodded repeatedly, only for Yan Hua to glance over.

"Let my disciple Ye Tianlang duel Pei Shengyue from Bodu’s family, both using blades, to test each other."

Immortal Monarch Bodu: .....
