Chapter 255: No. 52
Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor
Ceng Yu looked at Ye Yuan who was opposite with a green face.
He never imagined that he would encounter this ominous star in the first round.
After Ceng Cheng returned last time, he warned him to absolutely never provoke Ye Yuan again!
You got to be kidding. A newbie disciple with over a million points on him. Who knew what kind of terrifying background he had?
Even ordinary elders did not have so many points, but it was on a Spirit Condensation Realm disciple. This was too peculiar.
Listening to his elder brother's words, Ceng Yu also knew that Ye Yuan was not someone he could afford to offend.
It was just that he never expected he would bump into Ye Yuan so coincidentally in the first round.
”The sect's grand competition begins now!”
The Martial Hall elder's voice resounded once more. The grand competition officially began.
Fierce fighting sounds rose one after another, instantly enveloping the entire arena. However, some platforms were silent, such as platform No. 52.
Ye Yuan did move. Neither did Ceng Yu.
Ceng Yu was no fool. Ye Yuan could defeat him at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, let alone now that he was already Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
”I concede!” Without much hesitation, Ceng Yu admitted defeat very decisively.
”Platform No. 52, No. 52 wins,” the elder's voice sounded out again.
Every platform had an array installed. The elder could understand the activity on the platforms at the first moment through the array center.
The elder's voice was slightly hesitant. He clearly did not think that the first to win would actually be the unknown No. 52.
Normally, the first platform to win would either be No. 1 or No. 2, because the difference between both parties was too great.
However, the sect grand competition was also hard to come by chance to temper one's self. To be able to seek guidance from the number one or two ranked core disciple was something that other disciples wished for. Remarkably few people would concede.
Ceng Yu admitting defeat directly also resulted in Ye Yuan become the first to win among the 100 platforms.
”Who is on platform No. 52? The opponent didn't purposely give up, right?”
”Yeah! In the past grand competitions, it's basically always No. 1 who wins first. The gap between Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu's strength and ours is too far! What the hell is with this No. 52 who popped out this time?”
”Who knows! Logically speaking, other than those few sickos in the top 10, the disparity in strength for those behind would not be too ridiculous. Even if they lose, it's impossible to be faster than Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, right?”
”Who cares? After this first round is over, we'll naturally know which deity is this No. 52.”
The worst of the Heaven Barracks' rank one was quasi-elite disciple strength. They were existences like cranes among chickens among the core disciples.
Hence, every grand competition, it was basically always No. 1 who won first.
But a little hiccup happened right from the start today. An unknown No. 52 was the first to win. This attracted quite a few curious eyes.
Although winning first did not mean anything, this sort of hiccup that subverted the past could still add conversational topics for the grand competition.
The disciples started the competition directly after drawing lots, so apart from the first ten who were predetermined, others did not know who had which number.
Platform No. 1, Tian Yu was just about to attack when he heard the elder's voice. His heart involuntarily jolted.
I heard that two core disciples who made it through the Nine Heavens Road were brought over recently. One of them succeeded in clearing the challenge with Essence Qi Realm cultivation! Could it be that this No. 52 is one of them? Tian Yu thought to himself.
Those who cleared the Nine Heavens Road all knew that one could obtain enormous rewards from there!
To challenge the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm, the difficulty was far beyond imagination!
