1092 Smashing! (1/2)
As long as the Green Veiled Sect's disciples avoided a direct confrontation strategy in the disciples match and optimally unleashed the cultivation method and speed that they were good at, there was a very high chance they could pull any one of the Residence of Nine Supremes' ten disciples down with them!
While Yun Xiuxin and companions were skilled, they lacked practical combat experience. Once they met an enemy who played around in avoiding direct contact, it was basically foreseeable that they would turn impatient – it was even reasonable that they lost in the end!
Now, however, the Residence of Nine Supremes' combat force that they had to face rocketed to one that was assisted by Saint King level's mystical beasts.
How could they continue with the battle? The loss was imminent!
Pushing themselves to continue with the battle would only induce more shame and frustration – it was better to admit defeat now. At least, they could save themselves some face and avoid the awkward situation of surrendering after being badly beaten up.
Therefore, the Residence of Nine Supremes climbed up to the fifth spot without any bloodshed and carried on challenging the fourth-ranking Hall of Dragons.
Similarly, the Hall of Dragons made the same decision as to the Green Veiled Sect after a round of discussion. They surrendered.
There was no way not to. Despite the Hall of Dragons' higher notch of capability, they were not confident that they could tackle the Residence of Nine Supremes that was now assisted by Saint King leveled mystical beasts. Their class or tier would not be affected by the drop of ranking anyway, in addition to the Green Veiled Sect as precedence, the feeling of frustration and powerlessness was very much lifted away!
Moving on, the Residence of Nine Supremes began their conquest to the top three positions.
The suspense was absent in the encounters of the top three sects. Firstly, third-ranking all-female Tower of Hundred Flowers gave in immediately; their martial skill, formation strategy, and techniques were excellent, a worthy opponent to the Residence of Nine Supremes, but the astonishing combat force shown by the latter actually hinted at exact clashes against the Tower of Hundred Flowers. Considering the assistance of mystical beasts, the ladies of the sect gave up directly and contributed to the Residence of Nine Supremes' another win!
Then, The Earth Pavilion sitting at the second rank that was indomitable for its defense became the first sect to fight the Residence of Nine Supremes after three continuous surrenderings from three schools. It was a pity. Perhaps they had overestimated their defense, perhaps they had underestimated the Residence of Nine Supremes' overwhelming prowess. After four Whiteys fought respectively and a round of aggressive combat, The Earth Pavilion lost all five rounds and was sadly sent to the third placing.
The Earth Pavilion, Tower of Hundred Flowers, Hall of Dragons, Green Veiled Sect, Beast Bender Clan, Shadowy Sword Sect, and Thousand Mountain Sect that dropped a ranking each did not leave the place. Watching from the side, it was obvious that they wanted to spectate the ultimate battle. Only when this bout ended would it mark the end of the Heaven Penta-Tier officially.
The seven sects watched as the Residence of Nine Supremes changed its seat, again and again, slowly rising to the top. From when they had no seats and no podium when they had first entered to occupying the second place now, the sect's progress was unstoppable!
The gazes cast on them were complicated.
Hundreds of thousands of years since the Bound of Universe had come into existence, there was never such speedy headway! From a nobody to a first rank contender, such achievement was impressive.
Actually, the Residence of Nine Supremes had already weaved a brand new record in the Bound of Universe when they climbed onto the sixth rank. Then, they were breaking their own record, setting new ones time and again.
The Thousand Mountain Sect sighed silently. Had they known that this would happen, why did they fight so hard? It was futile, making them a joke instead… Looking at their performance now, the Thousand Mountain Sect realized how ludicrous their thoughts were – how dared they wish to stop the Residence of Nine Supremes with their insignificant force?
Rendered in the most awkward position now was the Golden Cauldron Sect.
