1007 Yun Yang’s Leading Protégé (1/2)
There was no miracle, just like how the heavens would not always bless the same soul. The protégés of Yun Yang, the leader of the Residence of Nine Supremes, did not even qualify to compete in the race to be the top ten disciples.
This fact gladdened the hearts of Shi Wuchen and others. They were gratified and thrilled – it was not an easy feat for them to finally outdo Yun Yang!
”Sigh, my top disciple, Yu Chenghang, got second place. I thought that squeezing himself into the top three was already the best he could do!” Luo Dajiang spoke humbly, but the elation on his face had long betrayed him.
”Hmm, it's such a surprise that my top student, Sun Mingxiu, seized the first place in the Residence of Nine Supremes' disciple match. I thought that boss' protégés would definitely dominate the top three placings – he's relented too much…” Shi Wuchen added, looking smug.
”Second Shi, shut up. Don't you know that it's the critical match between third and fourth rank right now? Eh? This little fellow isn't too bad – whose student is he?”
”Ninth's, Kong Luoyue's disciple. The little fellow's sensibility is excellent. What's his name again? Bai Yexing? How on earth had that name been given to him? Bai Yexing, isn't that cruising the night in luxurious garments?”
”He's called Bai Yexing but it's entirely different from cruising the night in luxurious garments, alright? That child battling him is Tie Qingcang's disciple, Huang Tie. He left quite an impression on me. This child's actual capability is supposedly higher than Bai Yexing, but he lacks flexibility and spontaneity. He doesn't fight as ingeniously as Bai Yexing does… I'm afraid he'll lose…”
”Why doesn't Boss look too good here?”
”How can that be? So many of our disciples are improving by leaps and bounds. It's plain to see. Boss should only feel overjoyed.”
”Do you think that he's jealous? And angry?”
”I don't think so. Even if he doesn't look happy, I'm sure he feels it in his heart. He's delighted…”
”Really? Is that possible?”
”Why don't you ask him if he's inwardly gleeful?”
”F*ck off! Why aren't you asking him yourself?”
”Hahaha…”
Looking at the serious-looking chums who were actually laughing at him with their psychic voices, Yun Yang's exasperation intensified. He had never felt this level of frustration he was currently experiencing.
'Hmph! Am I the type of person who cares about the ranking of my disciples?'
'Fine, I am!'
'Still, I can't turn the tables now, so I'll let you fellows enjoy it a bit more…'
'Our accounts will be settled one day!'
Speaking of Bai Yexing, the young boy was very clever. There were truly not many at his age and cultivation base who could apply what they learned so easily in battles, yet he had successfully done so in addition to setting himself quite far apart from the rest…
When the results of the matches were revealed, Shi Wuchen and Ren Qingkuang's disciples had respectively taken two placings each while the other six peaks held a ranking each. The outcome had simultaneously shown that none from the Central Peak had claimed a spot from the top ten disciples.
They had scored a clean zero.
Eight men were grinning ear to ear while Yun Yang's expression was ominous.
The contest for the sect's top ten disciples came to an end, but the match was yet to complete, as there were still battles of the same level.
As the top ten disciples were the best among the Earth Mystic and Heaven Mystic levels, bagging their victories in the previous match, it was unnecessary for them to fight again. The ranking was determined directly without any objection.
