Chapter 110 – Three Years in a Row (2/2)

Bi Fan was puzzled, as he had no idea about this situation.

One of the Yu Nu Feng girls came to Bi Fan’s side, and whispered: “There’s been no news of Jing Feng, and Xiao Feng is quite mad about it.”

“Oh!” Bi Fan said, as he realized.

“Why would I be angry?! Quit gossiping.” Xiao Feng was angry all of a sudden.

When angry, Xiao Feng was no less than a lioness, and the other Yu Nu Feng girls quickly disappeared out of sight.

“Xiao Feng, Jing Feng must still be practicing, and he must have already broken into the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.” Bi Fan tried to reassure her.

Xiao Feng replied: “I don’t care what realm he has reached. It makes no difference to me.”

Bi Fan figured that Xiao Feng would only get angrier, if he mentioned Jing Feng again, so he quickly changed the subject: “Xiao Feng, do you know when the miss will come back?”

“She will come back for the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon tournament, and she will also be participating in the Jiu Yu Imperial List tournament for her Sect’s honor.” Xiao Feng told him. (The competition which has been mentioned in the first two volumes is the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon competition, while the Jiu Yu Imperil List is newly mentioned one, a more advanced one. It was quite confusing until now, since these tournaments weren’t described in the novel, while being constantly mentioned.)

“The Jiu Yu imperial List!” Bi Fan was suddenly jealous. The minimum requirement for entering the Jiu Yu Imperial List tournament was ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.

Bi Fan was fairly strong, but it would still be a while before he can reach the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer.

Once strength starts increasing, progressing forward gets even more difficult, and it starts taking longer to break into the next layer.

Xiao Feng started laughing: “What are you think? Your strength is not enough to participate in the Jiu Yu Imperial List yet, so don’t you think about participating already.”

“Is the miss ranked in the Imperial List?” Bi Fan asked.

“In the last tournament, miss lost to a Wu Ji disciple, and ended up ranking second.” Xiao Feng told Bi Fan.

Bi Fan was quite surprised: “Is the Wu Ji Sect that strong? They managed to win both, Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon as well as the Jiu Yu Imperial List in the same year!” (Jing Feng mentioned a guy who won the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon tournament, back at the end of the Second Volume. That guy was also from the Wu Ji Sect.)

“Not just that, the Wu Ji Sect has been occupying the first spot in the tournaments for the last three years in a row.” Xiao Feng told him.

“Wow, I didn’t know that they were so powerful.” Bi Fan was shocked.

Xiao Feng looked at him, and said: “Bi Fan, don’t ever provoke the Wu Ji Sect, they have one of the largest backings in the world. They are backed by the Yuan Shi faction.”

“I know.” Bi Fan nodded.

In this world, the Yuan Shi Faction was the uncrowned overlord, and was easily the most powerful force in the world of martial arts. Although there are other very powerful Sects in the Jiu Yu Da, but none of those Sects are strong enough to match up to the Yuan Shi Faction’s strength.

Basically, it would take at least two Jiu Yu Da Sects to match up to their singular power.

The Wu Ji Faction had excellent ties with the Yuan Shi Faction, so naturally offending the Wu Ji Sect wasn’t a good idea.

Even if the Yuan Shi Sect didn’t come into play, the Wu Ji Sect was far too powerful for the Quinyang Sect alone.

Anyway, Bi Fan had just managed to acquire the status of a disciple, so there’s no way he’d live to tell the tale, if he ever managed to offend them.

Xiao Feng asked him: “Bi Fan, you will be going for the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon, right?”

“Well, I will participate.”

“Then you must be careful. In a contest like that one, causalities are inevitable, so you must not push yourself too hard, okay?” Xiao Feng told him.

“Thank you, I’ll take care.” Bi Fan felt very grateful.

From childhood, and till the day he met Xiao Feng and Yan Yu Si, no one had ever cared for him.

Yan Yu Si was the first person who had ever given Bi Fan any importance, and had taught him the basics of martial arts. Whereas, Xiao Feng had always looked after Bi Fan, and to him, was almost like family.

Bi Fan decided to stay the night in Yu Nu Feng and rest, in order to refresh himself for his practice at the Yang Shan peak.

In the evening, the entire Yu Nu Feng was bustling with excitement, since the girls had decided to celebrate Bi Fan’s safe return.
