Chapter 48 - Swords Gates Shen Dragon (1/2)

"The top ten clan disciples have taken part in this Lawless Battle, but why are there no disciples from the first clan?" asked the curious Ting Lanyue.

Zhong Yue also felt curious as Li Xiuniang introduced the other nine clan's core disciples but seemingly omitted the first clan and their core disciples entirely. Logically, the first clan had always been the strongest clan in the Great Wilderness, and they must have sent disciples to participate in the battle.

"The first clan is Feng Clan, which is the clan of the current headmaster of the Swords Gate. Their bloodline is very strong, and rumors said their bloodline belongs to the human god's bloodline."

Li Xiuniang shook her head and said, "Although their clan is powerful, their numbers are too few, which is also why there are no disciples from that clan taking part in the battle. However, although their population has always been little, each and every one of them was a paragon of their era. For example, Feng Wuji of the four top young disciples is from the Feng Clan. At the same time, our headmaster of Swords Gate is the strongest in the entire Great Wilderness!"

"Feng Clan?"

In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, Xin Huo shouted happily, and he said, "Feng Clan is the biggest clan in the era of Fuxi. This clan is also the earliest clan to be formed, and they were called the first clan under the heavens! The Feng Clan of that era were the descendants of the first Fuxi and Nuwa. I wonder what the relationship between this Great Wilderness' Feng Clan and Feng Clan of the Fuxi's era is… Brat Yue, I want to meet with the people of this Feng Clan here. Perhaps, I may find a pure-blood Fuxi Celestial Race!"

Zhong Yue's heart fretted as Li Xiuniang said that the bloodline of Feng Clan had always been incredibly strong and Xin Huo now said that Feng Clan is the descendants of Fuxi, maybe he could really find a pureblood Fuxi Celestial Race in the Great Wilderness.

The Feng Clan is located in the Great Wilderness, and there are people from the Feng Clan in Swords Gate. All I have to do is approach the headmaster of Swords Gate and Feng Wuji, but how am I supposed to approach with my current status? Maybe I have to become a Qi Practitioner in order to meet them?

All of the upper house disciples along with the Qi Practitioners in the Knowledge Teaching Pavillion had gathered around the Five Pine Summit. They all stood behind the elders whereas the elders sat down under the cover of the umbrellas.

Not long after, an elder stood up and looked at the few thousand upper house disciples beneath the summit and announced, "Today is the day that the Lawless Battle is held. There will be no rules and no restrictions in the battle, but you all hail from the same school after all. Therefore, if possible, you must all do your best not to harm anyone's life. Junior Martial Brother Lu, please explain the rules to them."

Another Qi Practitioner walked up, and he then explained the condition to win to the disciples.

The condition to win is straightforward; one would have to occupy the high stage to win. There are a total of one hundred stages, and by seizing one of them and successfully fending off every participant, one would be able to ascend as one of the top hundred disciples of the upper house.

Those who managed to occupy the high stages would have to face the challenges from the other participants. Only by successfully maintaining their position for four hours would the disciple be able to become one of the top hundred disciples of the upper house.

Through this, these upper house disciples would have to fight each other again and again and the ones who managed to hold the high stage from his foes for longer than four hours would be able to qualify to enter the Ethereal palace.

After this first round, the top hundred disciples would have the opportunity to compete among themselves in a battle royale for the title of supremacy among all the upper house disciples. The battle among these top hundred disciples was very crucial, as only the strongest among them would be able to acquire the most resources after entering the Ethereal palace.

Is that all?

After hearing the rules, Zhong Yue felt a little bit stunned. He thought, With only such battles, I guess it would be tough to determine the true strength and potential of the disciples? After all, some of the disciples have techniques that could allow them to fly and the final battle will not be able to showcase the strengths of these flying techniques adequately. Besides, with so many disciples taking part in that battle, the stages will undoubtedly be very crowded….

After he finished talking, the Qi Practitioner notified the elder, and the elder said, "Bring in Shen Dragon."

The Qi Practitioner nodded and shouted, "Bring in the Shen Dragon!"

"Understood."

Then, the other Qi Practitioners replied and shouted, "Bring in the Shen Dragon!"

Huuuuu——

Then, one after another, the Qi Practitioners held large chains in their hands, and there were a total of one hundred and ten of these chains. The other end of the chains extended all the way into the clouds, and as they moved. The clouds near the golden peak of the Swords Gate rumbled vigorously.

As these Qi Practitioners used their full strength to pull the chains, the clouds kept on rumbling, and after a moment, a gigantic creature was pulled out of the clouds!

This creature had the head of a chicken, back of a turtle and tail of a dragon. Its claws were extremely sharp, and it rested in the clouds. However, it was now being chained and pulled out from the clouds. When the Shen Dragon was pulled out from the clouds, it let out furious roars that sounded like the crowings of a rooster which reverberated throughout the mountains.

Zhong Yue looked up and saw that the Shen Dragon was incredibly long and it floated in the air like a huge mountain, refusing and struggling to stay in the clouds.

Such a rare exotic beast! Swords Gate is indeed very resourceful to have such a creature. But why did they bring in Shen Dragon?

Ting Lanyue murmured, "So the crowings of the chicken I heard every morning was let out by this Shen Dragon. I have been wondering for a long time about who actually bred chickens in Swords Gate…"

The struggling Shenlong that was brought in by the hundred and ten Qi Practitioners immediately turned its head and angrily bellowed at Ting Lanyue, "You dare to call me a chicken?"

Ting Lanyue stuck out her tongue and quickly hid behind Zhong Yue.

A Swords Gate elder stood up and shouted, "Shenlong, stop causing a ruckus. We Swords Gate supported and took you in for a very long time, and it is now time for you to do your job again."

The Shen Dragon replied, "Kid, I am from the same generation as your ancestors, when you need my help, at least say please nicely."

The speechless elder then weakly added, "Please."
