Chapter 540 - Top 10 (2/2)

“Little fellow, you still dare to blow me raspberries today. Take this!”

For some reason, although Xiao Chen knew that the Illusory Beast might be very powerful, he was not afraid. Instead, he even felt a sense of intimacy. After that, he launched another two strikes with his Dragon Roar Palm, shaking the entire stone room. However, the beast did not move.

“Pthbbpt…”

Xiao Chen forced a smile. It seemed that no matter how high his cultivation was, he could not hurt this Illusory Beast. What exactly was the background of this Illusory Beast? He smiled and said, “Blowing raspberries? Come again!” After that, he launched several continuous attacks, and the stone room immediately shook as if it was going to collapse.

After a series of attacks, Xiao Chen had used all his strength. At this moment, he was panting heavily, but he still could not beat this Illusory Beast. However, his result had been passed out.

Seeing him gasping for breath, the Illusory Beast held its round belly like a child and laughed loudly. Then its body shrank as it did last time and came over. Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, “Forget it. I can’t beat you. What’s your name?”

“Woo… Gollum?” The Illusory Beast looked at him with a pair of big eyes and then laughed. In the end, it stuck its tongue out at him again. Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Well, then I call you Brother Gollum.”

The Kuru beast blinked and looked at him with interest. Then it put its hand on his shoulder. Xiao Chen suddenly felt that his whole body sank, his shoulder seemed to be dislocated, and his legs seemed to sink into the ground. He was shocked to find that the strength of this Illusory Beast was so horrifying.

“Brother Gollum… Quick, stop! My shoulder is going to be broken by you…”

“Phew, phew, phew…” The beast laughed twice and withdrew its furry claws. Xiao Chen forced a smile and said, “Brother Gollum, you’re amazing. I really admire you…” At the end of his words, a sly look suddenly flashed across his face.

···

At this moment, outside, the crowd exclaimed. Xiao Chen’s name kept rising. He had passed the tenth place, but he was still rising, and then he passed the top five. Finally, he slowly stopped at the top three and squeezed the third person to the top four.

“The third! The third! He made it to the third place!”

The cheers from the crowd shook the heavens. This was even more shocking than Xiao Chen’s attempt to kick the Beigong Qin. At this moment, the entire Cloud Mist Academy was in an uproar. The pillar of light on the Earth Ranking shot up into the sky, and Xiao Chen’s name shone brightly on it. This time, even the elders who were living a secluded life had changed their expressions.

“Oh my god, it’s only been a month, but he has made it to the top three of the Earth Ranking. He’s almost comparable to that disciple of Shui Yue in the past, isn’t he?” Many senior elders stroked their white beards and sighed at this moment.

“Alas, will Shui Yue be able to cheer up this time around? After all, that person from back then… alas, hopefully…”

…

The crowd was still exclaiming. Qin Tianyu and the others were going crazy. Even those senior disciples with cyan badges could not believe it at this moment. A month ago, he could not even fight back when being beaten by Bai Ling. In just a month, what kind of method did he use? No matter how many Mystic Stone he had, it couldn’t be possible!

At this time, on the island of the Wind-heeding Pavilion, a disciple wearing a cyan badge rushed to the Wind-heeding Tower where Shui Yue was located.

“Third Grandmaster! Third Grandmaster!”

“What’s the matter?” Shui Yue’s calm voice came from the building.

“Junior Brother Xiao! Junior Brother Xiao, he…” The disciple was overjoyed. He was so excited that he choked and could not speak. After a short pause, he said in surprise, “Junior Brother Xiao! He made it to the third on the Earth Ranking!”

“Oh, I know.” In the Tower, Shui Yue’s tone was still flat.

The disciple at the entrance of the courtyard was stunned, but then he smiled and said, “Don’t you want to go to the Mystic Sky Pavilion to have a look? Many Senior Brothers and Sisters have gone to the Mystic Sky Pavilion to congratulate Junior Brother Xiao!”

“I’m not feeling well. I’m not going.”

The disciple was even more surprised. Why was the Third Grandmaster not happy at all? When he was about to say something, Shui Yue’s flat voice came from the courtyard, “You can go back.”

“Then… I’ll take my leave first.” The disciple was befuddled. He scratched his head and walked back to the way where he had come from, wondering if he had said something wrong.

There was no sound in the courtyard. The sky gradually darkened, and the breeze was light. In front of the pavilion, Shui Yue stood motionless. She looked up at the light column of the Mystic Sky Pavilion, and her eyes seemed to have ripples caused by the wind. In her hands, she seemed to have something in her hand.

After a while, Shui Yue lowered her head and slowly released her hand. In the palm of her hand, there was a purple badge that had faded.
