Chapter 462: One Slash, Three Defeats (2/2)

The seventy-second prince turned back to his disciple and said: “An Ju, go easy later, she is a girl.”

Both Feiyun and Shi Lan didn’t say anything. From start to finish, she stood behind him like a bashful girl, afraid of strangers.

A plume of golden clouds flew over from the sky, carrying a stately aura. It suppressed everyone, making it harder for them to breathe.

This was the third Regal Ancestor. His voice resounded from the clouds like a clap of thunder: “You may begin.”

The old man in the shiny golden robe became quite respectful. He bowed towards the ancestor in the sky before announcing: “Three days have passed, the chosen disciples of all the candidates have returned. The competition shall commence.”

“First round, Feng Feiyun’s disciple versus the seventh prince’s. The eighteenth prince’s disciple versus the seventy-second prince’s.”

This was a crucial battle in the first round to determine the Divine King’s successor.

Shi Lan came out from behind Feiyun. She stood in the center and slowly took out a sword that was even longer than her body. She stood there with a determined gaze and spoke with a soft and young voice: “I want to fight all three.”

This was naturally Feiyun’s intention. She needed to be powerful enough to be highly regarded by the royal clan. This was the only way for her to survive.

“What?!” The three princes thought they have misheard. This one-meter tall girl shamelessly boasted like this? Wanting to challenge three at a time? She was even more arrogant than Feiyun.

“Feng Feiyun, your disciple does not know the immensity of the heaven and earth.”

“Like master, like disciple. You think our disciples are that incapable?”

“If she’s so arrogant, An Ju, no need to hold back. Tear her apart like that leopard.”

The three boys were quite exceptional. One had an amazing comprehension; another had a physical gift and could tear apart a tiger; the last had great intelligence and understood his techniques a little bit.”

The three of them were one head taller than Shi Lan and stood in a line.

The strongest one among them had arms bigger than her waist. One punch could destroy a large boulder.

The three princes had a gloating smile while staring at Feiyun. They were the direct descendants of the royal clans so they wanted to eliminate him first; alas, there was no opportunity earlier. But now, one had just come knocking on their door.

“Whoosh!” A sword arc came out with lightning speed.

“Pluff! Pluff! Pluff!” The three youths went flying into the sky and got cut in half up in the sky. Blood came gushing out before their corpses fell down the peak.

Shi Lan sheathed her sword again and stood quietly on the path. There was no emotion in her eyes.

The three princes’ smile became petrified in disbelief. Just one slash from a seven-year-old girl was enough to kill their three disciples? This was too much to take in.

“Ancestor, Feng Feiyun must have treated. Even the most enlightened girl can’t be this powerful after two or three days of training.”

“It’s absolutely impossible.”

“He must have found someone who trained already, wanting to cheat.”

The three princes immediately complained to the old man. They didn’t care about their disciples, only the result of the match. After all, this looked like Feiyun had completely decimated in the first round of examination.

The old man said calmly: “Feiyun did not cheat since there were experts watching all four of you the whole time. There was no chance for cheating.”

The three princes still couldn’t accept this.

Feiyun was the number one genius in the dynasty so it would be normal for him to cultivate this fast. However, how could he be so good at finding a monstrous disciple too?

Meanwhile, the third Regal Ancestor in the sky was also frightened. A girl that had just cultivated for two days was this powerful? The might of this Undying Devil Art was unbelievable. He thought to himself: ‘We must have this girl join our royal clan. If we can’t control her, we must eliminate her right away.’

He personally descended and gave her a deep stare before taking her into the clouds as well.

She turned to look at Feiyun but he didn’t return the gesture at all, seemingly aloof and distant.

This was the end of their fateful encounter. Perhaps they would never meet again if it wasn’t meant to be. It was just like his expectation.

The old man announced the result. Feiyun got a perfect score in the first round while the three princes got thirty percent.

Though their disciples were killed in one move, the princes have still fixed the merit laws so they got some points.

“You all may go to the Dragon King’s First Continent now for the second round of examination.”
