201 A Sudden Sound (2/2)
Liu Yi smiled calmly.
\”Why? Could it be that this disciple from the Xuanyin Sect has incredible qualities or something?\”
The face of the Xuesha Sect Leader Hu Chengshuo was filled with disdain.
After Chen Dandan took the field, the other early Connate disciples from the four sects who had drawn the number two still did not move. Each and every one of them felt that they had an unfair advantage when pitted against a female.
No one was willing to come forth.
All of them were afraid of being a laughingstock.
\”Her name is Chen Dandan.\”
Without waiting for Liu Yi to respond to Hu Chengshuo, the old man seated beside Liu Yi, the Taoist Elder Qi Ming of the Xuanyin Sect glanced briefly at Hu Chengshuo. \”She's the disciple my senior took under his wing three years ago.\”
Qi Ming's words were immediately followed by a deathly silence across the whole venue.
Who was Qi Ming?
The Taoist Elder of the Xuanyin Sect!
One of the two prominent Golden Essence elders of the Xuanyin Sect!
In the Xuanyin Sect, the only person whom he called \”Senior\” was the other Golden Essence elder of the Xuanyin Sect, the most powerful person in the Xuanyin Sect, Zhong Ya!
\”She's… actually a disciple of Senior Zhong Ya?\”
The disdain on Hu Chengshuo's face vanished completely. In its place was an expression of shock. He could not have expected this female disciple from the Xuanyin Sect to be a disciple of Elder Zhong Ya of the Xuanyin Sect.
Zoom!!
Just when many people had yet to register what was happening, a figure rapidly flew out from the audience area where members of the Thousand-Year Sect were seated, and mounted the high platform directly.
It was a young man dressed in a brocade garment, an early Connate adept from the Thousand-Year Sect who had drawn the number two.
\”Damn it! He beat me to it!\”
\”This chap moved way too quickly.\”
\”I missed the chance.\”
When the disciple from the Thousand-Year Sect mounted the high platform and stood facing Chen Dandan, the other early Connate disciples from the remaining three sects who had drawn the number two beat their bests and stamped their feet in unison. They felt that it was such a pity.
Earlier, they felt that attacking Chen Dandan was a disgrace to them, but now, they felt that this was their chance to become famous in the span of one battle instead!
In their eyes, Chen Dandan was no longer a mere disciple of Xuanyin Sect, but the disciple of the Xuanyin Sect's Golden Essence elder, Zhong Ya!
As long as they defeated this Chen Dandan, they would be at full liberty to go around boasting that they had once defeated a Golden Essence disciple of the Xuanyin Sect.
This feat would be impressive enough for them to boast about for the rest of their lives!
\”Junior Dandan, I'm Zong Tan from the Thousand-Year Sect…\”
While the disciple from the Thousand-Year Sect was introducing himself, Chen Dandan interrupted him and said indifferently, \”I'm not interested in knowing the name of a losing opponent.\”
The moment Chen Dandan said these words, the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple was so infuriated that his expression changed completely. As for the other people, they went into an uproar. They could sense the immense confidence in Chen Dandan's words.
Bang!
By the time Chen Dandan finished speaking, a layer of Qi had risen dramatically beneath her feet. Her entire body pushed off the ground and flew towards the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple like an arrow that had left its bow.
\”Hmph!\”
After the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple regained his senses, there was an extremely unpleasant expression on his face. He wanted to gain the upper hand using some tricks, only to realize that Chen Dandan was not firing blindly. Her skills were indeed at a higher level than his.
On top of that, Chen Dandan had gained the initiative by striking first and had the upper hand. After three moves, the Thousand-Year Sect's disciple was sent off the high platform by Chen Dandan's palm.
Just then, the expressions of the remaining disciples from the three major sects who had drawn the number two also became more solemn. They no longer dared to underestimate Chen Dandan because she was a woman.
Thud!!
Snap!!
Boom!!
Under the stupefied gazes of the spectators, Chen Dandan defeated one of the remaining three people in two moves. As for the other two people, she defeated one in five moves and the other in six moves.
Chen Dandan successfully emerged victorious in the second group of battles among the early Connate adepts in the Feast of Ziyun.
\”Impressive! Impressive!\”
\”As expected of a disciple of a Golden Essence adept. Women are no less capable than men!\”
…
After Chen Dandan reached the top, as expected, a wave of admiring exclamations started around her. As the crowd of people discussed amongst themselves, they were not stingy at all with their compliments.
At the moment, even some of the higher-ranked members of the four major sects had collectively started to praise Chen Dandan.
They also took the chance to flatter the Xuanyin Sect's Golden Essence elder, Zhong Ya.
\”Senior Zhong Ya is not just powerful. Even his methods of teaching his disciples are equally awe-inducing.\”
At this moment, Chen Dandan stood on the high platform as the \”main character.\” She listened to the gasps of admiration and flattering compliments emanating from around her. She lifted her head proudly like an arrogant peacock.
At the same time, a figure dressed in snow-white clothing flashed in Chen Dandan's mind without any warning signs.
\”It's a pity that Zhou Donghuang can't be here to see this.
\”Zhou Donghuang, I hope you're still alive… after the Feast of Ziyun ends, I, Chen Dandan, will bring Senior back with me to the Sixteen Countries of the East Valley. I will make you witness firsthand your mother being tortured to death by me. Then, I'll make mincemeat of you!\”
…
Just when Chen Dandan had recovered her senses and was about to leave the stage.
\”It's been three years… Chen Dandan, have you only improved to this extent?\”
These indifferent words suddenly traveled through the air and landed. As if it possessed some kind of magic power, it suppressed all the noise at the venue.
