Chapter 44 - Another Challenge (2/2)

“How confident he is! In case he failed, he would not only be seriously hurt, but also might be disqualified if not waking up on time.”

Other outer disciples, being aghast at Lin Yun’s bravery, felt their heart beating fast.

Swish! Swish!

Lin Yun, whose martial art had been promoted to the seventh level, could employ the Wild Goose Script more easily.

By touching the ground lightly with his tiptoe, Lin Yun made about three leaps before landing on the stage, each time for more than ten meters.

Facing Lin Yun at the seventh level, Zhang Han laughed in frustration. “Lin Yun, well done!”

He, giving up in the competition of the first turn, became Zhang Han’s antagonist again after his cultivation got enhanced. Zhang Han absolutely didn’t stand a chance.

After realizing what Zhang Han meant, Lin Yun smiled apologetically. “Sorry. It’s a sudden enlightenment. I just broke through the bottleneck after the penance.”

“Ha-ha.”

Zhang Han, flicking his sleeves heavily with a sneer, shouted, “I quit!”

Everybody was amused by this ridiculous scene.

Given his grudge against Lin Yun, it’s natural for Zhang Han to have a fight with him, but he unexpectedly gave up so soon.

“The winner is Lin Yun.”

The referee announced the result without hesitation.

Lin Yun felt a little pity to win such easily. He wanted to test his cultivation at the seventh level to learn about its power.

There was only one battle awaiting Lin Yun who would be advanced to an inner disciple after another victory.

Not long after he stepped off the stage, there came an acclamation in the crowd.

Turning around, Lin Yun noticed that another outer disciple, Hu Zifeng, had turned up.

Hu Zifeng!

With his cultivation at the eighth level, the undefeatable Hu Zifeng stood out among the outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

There were numerous stories about this legendary figure.

“Senior Hu, I’m not giving up!”

His antagonist said nervously.

“As you wish.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the antagonist was thwacked to the air by the powerful force emitting from Hu Zifeng’s palm.

Thump!

During the whole process, he never moved or touched his enemy, but somehow he still managed to knock the antagonist off the stage.

“How powerful he is!”

Lin Yun was a little surprised. That’s the fearful power of the cultivation at the eighth level.

“Hu Zifeng, Hu Zifeng!”

The majority of the outer disciples were shouting his name excitedly.

The knockout match ended before the sunset.

Defeating his opponent in the third turn without any difficulties, Lin Yun fought his way from a humble sword slave to the top ten among the outer disciples, a seemingly impossible mission to complete for common people.

All of the ten winners were on the stage with inner disciples and sect elders.

“Congratulations! You can go to the Sect Affairs Office for your reward. Now, each of you have a chance to challenge one of the inner disciples!” The sect leader Bai Tianming chuckled.

The competition between the inner disciples were fiercer. Their capacity could be clearly observed from the rankings.

Whoever won the contest could get the rank of his opponent directly.

Most of the ten winners remained calm.

The relationship between seniors and juniors played a more important role in the sect than the level of cultivation.

Challenge meant disdain. If you won, the opponent had no choice but to surrender. If you lost, the opponent would very likely seek revenge after the midterm exam.

Of course, Hu Zifeng was an exception.

No sooner than the sect leader finished speaking, Hu Zifeng, raising his head, stared at one of the inner disciples and said, “I, the worthless person, would like to learn from senior Feng.”

Instead of being angry, the inner disciple whose surname was Feng forced a smile before saying, “Since I was defeated by you a month ago, there is nothing I can teach you. I surrender.”

He surrendered.

Though being a little surprising, it’s still reasonable given Hu Zifeng’s strong power.

No one made a fuss over that.

“Anybody else want to have a try? Or is Hu Zifeng the only courageous one?”

Bai Tianming, the sect leader, tried to inspire others into action in smile.

However, no one dared to answer him. After all, not everyone was a master. With the cultivation at the eighth level, it was natural for Hu Zifeng to come out first.

“I, the worthless person, would like to try!”

Lin Yun broke the silence by uttering the words resolutely and caused an uproar.
