Chapter 302 - Battle of the Strongest (1/2)

Feeling relieved, Xiao Chen made his way back to the yard. Thank goodness that the green robe elder took his side which prevented the rest of the elders from diving deep into the topic. As he reached the yard, he saw that Yu Yifeng and the rest were all there raving about something.

“Why… are you guys here?”

Seeing his return, Qingyu trotted across to him and said joyfully, “Junior Brother Xiao, Elder of the Immortals’ League has decided to let you join the Summit Finals that’s happening 3 days later!”

Yu Yifeng smiled and said, “Did the elders make things hard for you on purpose?”

Xiao Chen grinned and said, “Not at all. But hey, regarding the Immortal’s Sword Assembly this time, who have made it into the top 10?”

Zhou Li scratched his head and replied awkwardly, “All of us have been disqualified for top 10 except for Senior Brother Yu.”

“I see. Congratulations, Brother Yifeng.”

Then Xiao Chen was told by the rest that Xiaoyue and Huangfu Xin’er who represented the East Continent; Zuoqiu Yang, Su Zimu from the Su family, Yang Shaochen from the Yang family who represented the Middle Continent had all made it into the top 10. For the remaining 4 people of the top 10, they were all from the Fallen Immortals Sect, respectively, One-dot Red, Sanzhan Li, Sixiang Shu and Traceless for Ten Miles.

As for the North Continent, South Continent and West Continent, none of which made it into the top 10. Undeniably, the overall strength of Fallen Immortals Sect was pretty strong to have 4 out of 10 people from the sect getting into the top 10. Also, that was under the circumstances whereby 2 of them had to battle against each other unfortunately.

Because of Xiao Chen’s return, it was needed to take someone out of the top 20 from earlier. As luck would have it, that someone happened to be Li Muxue who failed to get into the top 10.

Li Muxue was in a dress that was as white as snow and her smile was as beautiful as a flower. She said as she raised her fist, “Well, don’t let me bump into you 3 days later. I will show no mercy okay.”

Xiao Chen forced a smile. To be honest, he was not afraid of bumping into Li Muxue. Although the opponent was decided by drawing lots, it was sure that there would be a battle between Zuoqiu Yang and him. These were all nothing big actually. But, there was one thing that he was concerned about.

“What are you guys making noise about?”

At this moment, an elderly’s voice on the outside of the yard was heard. Yu Yifeng and the rest immediately stood in one row and greeted with respect, “Martial Uncle Xiaoyao!”

“Oh, forget it. Don’t do it in the Qing Chen way,” Zi Mo waved as he walked into the yard. Yu Yifeng was as quiet as a cicada in winter right away. He did not even dare to breathe.

Although on normal days Zi Mo appeared to be full of jokes and loved to fool around with the disciples, as the Eldest Senior Brother, Yu Yifeng felt kind of dreadful to be around Zi Mo. Zi Mo loved to smack his head whenever he felt like it while saying, “Didn’t see you being good at other things besides being as overly-rigid Qing Chen with his stupid rules!”

“What are you guys still standing here like a bunch of wooden stakes for?” said Zi Mo as he glanced at each and every one of them.

“There’s something I have to do. I will take my leave now!” said Zhou Li while being the first to run out of the yard.

“Senior Brother Zhou, wait for me!” said Qingyu while being the second to run out.

Yu Yifeng gave a stiffed smile before making his way to the entrance of the yard. Luo Shangyan took a look at Xiao Chen and went out too as well. It the end, it was just left with Li Muxue.

Zi Mo grinned and said cheerfully, “Little Xue’er, you go back too, okay? I have some matters to discuss with this brat.”

“Hee, okay,” said Li Muxue with a smile. Then she gave Xiao Chen a brief stare while raising her fist at him before she left the yard.

After everyone else left the yard, Xiao Chen walked up to Zi Mo and asked, “Senior Xiaoyao, may I know what you need me for?”

Zi Mo tip-toed and took a peep at the outside of the yard to make sure that those few little rascals were already a distance away. Then he moved up closer to the front of Xiao Chen with a beaming smile and said, “Kiddo, how much money do you have there?”

Xiao Chen took a moment before he reacted and asked, “You said you have matters to discuss with me and this is the matter you were talking about?”

“Cut the bullsh*t! Hurry up! This time I’m going to win a few million Spirit Stones for sure!”

Xiao Chen forced a smile. It was such a shame that Bai Ying was missing out on this. He said, “What about the 100,000 Spirit Stones that I gave you the last time, don’t tell me you have lost all of it?”

Zi Mo puffed and glared at Xiao Chen as he said, “You dare to even bring this matter up, kiddo! If you didn’t play a trick and go missing, do you think I will lose these many Spirit Stones? If you play a trick and go missing again this time, then I will really be bankrupt…”

After hearing him out, Xiao Chen felt a little guilty about it so he took out a Tier Six Spirit Stone. As he was about to pass the stone to Zi Mo, he pulled back his hand suddenly.
