285 Unlucky (1/2)

The disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect and the Yunyue Sect continued their animated discussion and spoke freely. For those who were unfamiliar with the context of the situation, they would have assumed that these praises were a favor to Zhou Donghuang and intended for public notice.

Nevertheless, needless to say, such loud gossip of such an exciting topic was definitely useful.

After a while, the people of the elite sects who were present all realized what they were discussing.

”Zhou Donghuang?”

Towards this disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, most were familiar with his name,

This was especially so for the Thunder Knife Sect Leader, who was present today, as well as the Dharma disciples of the Thunder Knife Sect, who had followed their Sect Leader to visit the Lightning Sword Sect in the past. They all had a basic understanding of Zhou Donghuang.

Of course, this understanding they had was also limited to the past.

Now, they were not updated on Zhou Donghuang at all.

Of course, they had vaguely assumed that within the short period of two years, Zhou Donghuang had indeed improved, but such improvements could not be too significant.

”He gave Mo Yitian three chances to attack, and he did not even manage to touch him once! However, after the three strikes, he managed to kill Mo Yitian in one strike!”

Among the crowd of Thunder Knife Sect disciples, after hearing that the Lightning Sword Sect and Yunyue Sect were discussing the topic of Zhou Donghuang, they had first assumed they were still comparable. Among these disciples, there was also Han Yuzheng, who had planned to compare scores with Zhou Donghuang. At this point, they were all baffled and wide-eyed.

Han Yuzheng had been a part of the group that the Thunder Knife Sect Leader had brought to the Lightning Sword Sect. He was known as one of the rare geniuses out of the group of Dharma disciples within the last hundred years of the Tielao planet. He was supposed to have crushed the Lightning Sword Sect on behalf of the Thunder Knife Sect.

At that point, the Thunder Knife Sect Leader had indeed intended to use Han Yuzheng to show off to the Lightning Sword Sect.

The Thunder Knife Sect had never dreamt that the Lightning Sword Sect would have a young disciple comparable in age to Han Yuzheng, who was far more skilled and talented even though they were both at the mid Dharma stage.

That time, the disciples of the Thunder Knife Sec had been arrogant and intense when they had set out but had returned pitifully and shamed.

Two years had passed, and Han Yuzheng had managed to enter the late Dharma stage. He had also improved his Dharma Power and managed to master Dharma-body integration. He was confident that he would not lose if he met Zhou Donghuang yet again.

At first, many did not believe this piece of information.

However, with the confirmation of the Jihan Sect Leader and his disciples as well as the lack of refutation by the Tiansong Sect disciples, including Han Yuzheng, it was hard to not believe this matter.

”I had originally assumed that this time, I could prove my worth. It seems as though that's impossible now.”

Han Yuzheng had on a bitter expression, and his gaze became clouded as well.

What was the point of him training hard for the last two years and training his Dharma Power without holding back? The whole point had been for him to salvage his reputation for when he next met Zhou Donghuang.

He had not even managed to do so before such juicy news had been spread.

Mo Yitian, who was known as the top adept of the Tiansong Sect's younger generation, was a late Dharma adept who had managed to master the Dharma-body integration... Even with his training, if he had to face Mo Yitian, Han Yuzheng would tie with him at best.

Furthermore, Mo Yitian had entered the late Dharma stage earlier than him and had mastered the Dharma-body integration earlier than him as well.

Even such a person had been badly defeated by Zhou Donghuang.

With such a commotion, Zhou Donghuang once again became the center of attention among the crowd.

At first, some people did not respect Zhou Donghuang and even floated to the skies to take a good long look at him from a distance, as if they wanted to see what this famous disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect and the Hengliu galaxy looked like.

Of course, the past doings of Zhou Donghuang were nothing compared to the present shocking news.

”If this is true... This Zhou Donghuang may very well be the most talented youngster out of all our elite sects of the Alliance!”

”If that is true... Other than him being the strongest within the Alliance itself, even those of the two Transcendental Forces may be unable to win him over. There are few stronger people... or it could even be said that there are none.”

”As of now, the strongest of the younger generation has always been assumed to be the Tiansong Sect's Mo Yitian. Even Ximen Wanwan of the Colored Glass Sect can only be second in line behind him... The first level also includes a few others, including Baili Feiyang of the Red Leaves Sect. However, even someone like Baili Feiyang would probably not challenge Mo Yitian to strike him with three attacks and would definitely not be able to use a single attack to defeat him!”

”A new talent is possibly going to rise up among the Alliance disciples from the Hengliu galaxy...”

…

Upon hearing the words that were being whispered from ear to ear, Luo Qinghan, who was standing within a crowd of people, gazed into the distance and could not help but feel a flash of sadness.

He was like a jewel gleaming in the night, mysterious and alluring.

As for her, she was like a piece of broken stone hiding in the corner, ignored by all.

She was far too different from him as if they were from two different worlds.

”One day... I will eventually catch up to you.”

Suddenly, Luo Qinghan remembered that Deity's Tribulation practice method, the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, that Zhuge Haotian had left behind for her in the past. The glossiness and emptiness in her eyes were suddenly replaced by a look of deep confidence.

”That fellow is Zhou Donghuang from the Lightning Sword Sect?”

Now, even the highest-ranking in status present now had on a brightened look and was gazing into the distance at Zhou Donghuang. This was the mid Divine Transformation elder and one of the Deputy Alliance Leaders.

It was clear that he was interested in Zhou Donghuang.

Afterwards, the elder turned to look at the middle-aged man standing a short distance away, who was in charge of recording scores and tabulating the rankings and spoke to him. After hearing the elder's words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he nodded profusely.
