Chapter 44 – Sword Servant Pagoda (2/2)
Of course, he hoped Yang Ye would be able to enter the top 10 mainly because he wanted to teach Yang Ye a lesson.
The gaze of the young man with a black mole swept past all the youths that pa.s.sed the second stage, and then his gaze descended onto Jiang Yuan in the end. He said, “Amongst the 600 people that pa.s.sed, he woke up the quickest, and he utilized less than 100 breaths of time. He’s probably that genius from Snow River City!”
The round faced young man by the side of the young man with a black mole nodded and said, “According to rumor, he’s a ninth rank Mortal Realm Profounder, and his true strength is probably at the peak of the ninth rank. After he becomes a disciple of the sect and is fostered by the sect for a period of time, he’ll probably be able to advance into the First Heaven Realm. Moreover, if no other monstrous geniuses appear, then he’ll probably be able to become the number one expert in the outer court once the disciples from our batch become inner court disciples!”
The young man with a black mole said indifferently, “Such natural talent to attain the peak of the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm at the age of 16 is not bad indeed, and once he’s fostered for some time, he’ll definitely be very promising. However, it looks to me like he’s extremely arrogant and doesn’t know how to restrain his edge. Such a disposition will cause him to suffer a great deal in the future.”
The young man with a round face smiled as he said, “It’s extremely normal for young people to be arrogant when they’re capable. Just think about it, both of us were insufferably arrogant when that demonic woman hadn’t arrived, and we didn’t take anyone seriously. Even though we’ve restrained a great deal of our arrogance now, but I’m very clearly aware that we’re still extremely proud in our bones. The only way to change this is to be struck down!”
The young man with a black mole nodded, and then he looked at Yang Ye and went silent for a short while before he said, “He’s extremely strange. His eyes were bright and clear when he awoke just now, and there weren’t any fluctuations of emotions on his face. This proved that he’d stayed true to his heart since the beginning of the illusion. So, why did he stay so long within the illusion?”
“Perhaps he encountered an extraordinary beauty within the illusion!” It wasn’t the round faced young man that spoke, and it was Liu Qingyu that had been constantly silent behind them. He didn’t interrupt when the two of them spoke about Jiang Yuan, but he couldn’t restrain himself when they spoke about Yang Ye.
The young man with a black mole glanced indifferently at Liu Qingyu and said, “As another disciple on the Outer Court Rankings, let me give you a piece of advice. Never underestimate your opponent!”
Liu Qingyu hurriedly nodded respectfully, and he seemed as if he would commit it to memory. However, he was indifferent in his heart. He still remembered that Yang Ye wasn’t even able to resist a single move of his on that day, so how strong could Yang Ye have become in just around a month of time? He would just have to execute two moves at most!
Yang Ye’s eyes were slightly closed. He didn’t absorb the energy within the Energy Stone. Truthfully speaking, the illusion from before had still affected him. In the past, he’d devoted his life for the sake of his younger sister and mother, and he was still extremely shocked when his mother and younger sister whom he hadn’t met for a very long time had appeared within the illusion.
He was aware since the beginning that it was only an illusion, but he truly didn’t desire to wake up so quickly. However, he knew that such thoughts were intolerable because this Illusion Formation could only be considered as an ordinary Illusion Formation, and if it was a high level Illusion Formation, then he would definitely die from daring to stay within it.
In short, his Martial Dao Will had its weaknesses, and this weakness was his mother and younger sister. If he didn’t deal with this problem, then some other problems might emerge in the future.
When he thought up to here, Yang Ye took a deep breath and said, Once the exam is over, it’s time for me to return home!
An hour pa.s.sed swiftly.
Elder Cao Huo arrived before the 600 youths that remained, and as he looked at them, the disappointment on Cao Huo’s face was difficult to conceal. The number of people that pa.s.sed during the Outer Court Exam this time was truly inferior when compared to the last exam. If it was the same next year, then the outer court of the Sword Sect would probably be in an embarra.s.sing state of possessing no one that’s capable.
“I hope those few monstrous geniuses will be able to enter the Ascension Rankings this time, otherwise, the Sword Sect’s future is worrying!” Cao Huo muttered in a light voice as he gazed at the 600 youths.
After a short moment, Cao Huo adjusted his emotions and said in a clear and bright voice, “The next stage will test your live combat experience. Come with me!”
When they heard this, all of the youths hurriedly stood up and followed behind Cao Huo.
“The Sword Servant PaG.o.da?” The young man with a black mole spoke in a low voice.
The young man with a round face chuckled and said, “At that time, that demonic woman ascended to the 20th level, and she broke Senior Su’s record from over 10 years ago. I wonder if anyone will be able to challenge that demonic woman’s record this time!”
“Is that even possible?” Someone spoke from behind.
