Chapter 680: Top 4 (1/2)
”What an interesting technique.” Our bored gamer commented after he saw the countless torn bodies around him transform into mist and then slowly evaporated from the scene.
It was obvious that those were not real bodies at all but merely smart constructs made out from the elemental essence of the world.
But the price to pay for its usage was absolutely massive. Yi Yi has only used them once but she turned into a vegetative stage in less than a minute.
If she fought against anyone else in the inner disciples court, she would have big chances of winning it all.
Unfortunately for Yi Yi, fate had made her face against our bored gamer in this round.
”To master this complex technique in one so young, this sect does not lack promising seeds at all.” Clark muttered as he looked at the unconscious form of Yi Yi.
”WHOOSH!” An attracted woman arrived in a race of shadows and checked on the fallen body of Yi Yi. This woman has an uncanny resemblance to the latter.
It was easy to tell that they were family indeed. More than that, this woman was also a respected elder of the Profound Delight Sect.
The woman carefully carried Yi Yi into her arms and turned around to look at our good gamer.
”You are strong, young man. Very strong.” The woman said and without ado, disappeared from the place in order to take care of her daughter Yi Yi.
This was not the first time she had seen Yi Yi get defeated and this would certainly not be the last. All a mother like her could do was guide her daughter to become stronger than yesterday.
To this particular elder, this much was more than enough.

”Congratulations to the remaining 25 disciples! Since there is an extra number amongst you, I will pick 1 and instantly qualify him into the top 4!”
Elder Tang Kong announced it to the masses. She then made a pause in order to give suspense into the arena.

”HAHAHA! Congratulations Brother Mo Kang!”
”You deserve this spot! It's only for the strong!” The close friends of Mo Kang cheered him up at this time. All of them knew that the champion last year would automatically get this perk.
It was a good advantage to have. Even though he could easily beat anyone in the next rounds but having this kind of benefit could truly stroke one's ego to the extreme.
This was a validation to his strength and achievements in the past. Alas, Mo Kang's smile and the rest of his gang froze up when they heard the next words of Elder Tang Kong.
”Please come forward and enjoy a seat together with the Sect Master and the Sect Elders...”
”Outer Disciple Bu Fang!” Elder Tang Kong announced which made the majority of the audience dumb in shock.
It did not take long for many talks to arise that disapproved this judgment in full. One should know that this thing has never happened in the past.
All who got to advance in the top 4 were last year's champion and no other.
In order to provide an exemplary reason for this decision, Elder Tang Kong followed up with wise words in the next moment.
