Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 35 Sect Grand Competition ( )

After several rounds of competition, only ten people remained in the final kendo tournament.

The remaining players on the field are Shi Ming from Xianyun Peak, Jian Muyi, Su Wusi, Ye Xiao from Wanjian Sect, Xu Yu, and Zhou Mian, and the rest are all members of the Wen family.

Chu Yeli crossed his arms and scoffed, "The Wen family knows their own level perfectly well. How dare they leave four people behind?"

“There’s nothing we can do.” Nie Xushuang shrugged. “Everyone on the field saw how crazy the Wen family was, and no one dared to mess with them. Anyone who encountered the Wen family would just forfeit the match. Only a few of them were stubborn enough to squeeze into the top ten.”

Xue Xin and Ji Tinghan stood aside and recounted Jian Muyi and Su Wusi's glorious achievements to Luo Zaishui to put her mind at ease.

Luo Zai Shui seemed lost in thought, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

"Just looking at it like this is getting a bit boring, how about we make a bet?"

Chu Yeli's voice pulled Luo Zai Shui back to reality: "What are we betting on?"

Chu Yeli rested his chin on his folding fan and pondered for a moment: "How about we bet on who will win the swordsmanship championship? I'll bet fifty high-grade spirit stones on Ye Xiao."

Nie Xushuang's interest was also piqued: "I think Shi Ming has a better chance of winning. I'll bet fifty high-grade spirit stones on Shi Ming."

The two then turned their gaze to Luo Zai Shui, knowing without a doubt that she would suppress her senior brother.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zai Shui curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Then I'll bet on the Wen family. It's hard to say who will win, but they will give the title to the Wen family."

"They're going to give up the champion title?" Nie Xushuang asked in disbelief. "You know, the champion has a chance to enter the Phoenix Spirit's secret realm, and they're just going to hand it over like that?"

Xue Xin was somewhat incredulous: "Senior Sister, there might be Jade Bone Grass in the Phoenix Spirit Secret Realm, how could Senior Brother just give it away like that?"

Ji Tinghan sighed almost imperceptibly: "But in just one day, we have offended the Wen family twice. This retreat is truly a last resort."

Luo Zai Shui added, "As for Ye Xiao, he has always wanted to have a fair fight with my senior brother. I guess they aren't very interested in that champion, so they'll probably deliberately lose a match and then fight my senior brother."

"I really don't understand the thoughts of these sword cultivators."

Nie Xushuang gently shook her head. Luo Zaishui kept her eyes fixed on the field, feeling a little uneasy.

While a servant of the Wen family was still reading the rules, Ye Xiao had already started chatting with Shi Ming.

What place do you want to get?

Shi Ming glanced at him: "I'm not telling you."

Ye Xiao wasn't in a hurry: "I want to have a match with you."

"Oh," Shi Ming said nonchalantly. "We'll see."

Su Wusi's gaze fell on Ye Xiao's face, and Ye Xiao turned his head away uncomfortably.

Shi Ming then turned to Su Wusi and Jian Muyi and instructed them, "Just do your best when the time comes. If you really face the Wen family, be careful of them and know when to retreat."

Su Wusi and Jian Muyi were quite lucky; they hadn't encountered the Wen family before. However, before they arrived at their home turf, Xue Xin and Ji Tinghan had already told them about what had happened that day, so they were somewhat wary.

They were a little worried about their senior sister's condition, but seeing Chu Yeli and Nie Xushuang by her side, and Xue Xin and Ji Tinghan also there, they felt much more at ease.

Although his senior brothers didn't say it explicitly, they vaguely understood that Xianyun Peak wouldn't compete for the title of sword master. However, Jian Muyi was young, and he always wanted to produce some achievements to prove himself. He was somewhat unwilling to accept this decision. He was naturally convinced that his senior brothers were ahead of him, but he was not convinced that some half-baked members of the Wen family were ahead of them. Therefore, he was determined to improve his ranking.

Although Su Wusi is young, she has experienced too much. She can understand her senior brother's decision. Now she wants to go down to the arena as soon as possible to accompany her senior sister. However, if the Wen family members really let them all get ahead of them, Su Wusi will not be willing. Therefore, she also decided to fight for it.

Suddenly, undercurrents surged, and everyone harbored their own secret thoughts.

The opponent will still be determined by drawing lots.

Su Wusi drew lots first and was matched against Xu Yu of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

The two walked onto the field and bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.

Xu Yu revealed a set of white teeth, seemingly in no hurry to fight Su Wusi, and instead started chatting with her: "I didn't expect that the junior sister of Xianyun Peak would have some skill, actually squeezing into the top ten. She is truly gifted."

Su Wusi had no interest in chatting with him and said directly, "Senior Brother Xu, let's not waste any more time. Take this sword!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Wusi thrust his sword at Xu Yu. Xu Yu drew his sword to parry, but just before Su Wusi could get close, Su Wusi vanished again.

Xu Yu did not lose his composure. He had fought with Jian Muyi many times and knew that Xianyun Peak's swordsmanship was skillful in speed, but no matter how fast it was, there were still flaws.

He spun around, raised his sword to block Su Wusi's sneak attack from the side.

Su Wusi was somewhat surprised. This person seemed to know a lot about the swordsmanship of Xianyun Peak. Then, she retreated a few meters away. As soon as her toes touched the ground, Xu Yu's sword caught up with her again.

Unlike the Xianyun Peak's swordsmanship, which relies on speed, the Wanjian Sect is a major sect of swordsmanship, encompassing most of the sword techniques in the world. Therefore, their sword styles are also very flashy, and outsiders generally cannot guess which sword style the opponent will use next.

But Su Wusi was no ordinary person. In her previous life, she was taken in by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so she was naturally very familiar with all kinds of sword techniques of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. She bent down to dodge Xu Yu's sword, spun around, and kicked Xu Yu's hand holding the sword.

Due to the disparity in strength, Su Wusi's kick failed to budge Xu Yu in the slightest and almost allowed Xu Yu to exploit an opening. Fortunately, Su Wusi reacted quickly and managed to create distance between them.

Every move he made drew cheers from the audience.

Chu Yeli seemed to have discovered some rare treasure: "Your junior sister is not simple. You know, Xu Yu is the future second-in-command of their Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Your junior sister can fight him to a standstill. Tsk tsk tsk, it can't be described as just being gifted."

Luo Zai Shui didn't respond to him. She had a bit of a headache. Sometimes, she really didn't want them to be so smart. This was clearly something that wasn't right.

Ji Tinghan readily complied, praising, "Junior Sister is not only exceptionally talented, but also very hardworking. Besides practicing swordsmanship every day, she often seeks me out to practice drawing talismans."

“That’s not all,” Xue Xin added. “She also studies medical theory. She must have read at least half of those thick medical books.”

"Really?" Nie Xushuang gave Luo Zaishui a meaningful smile. "Then you really are talented. After all, there are very few people in the world who can reach Xu Yu's level in just a few years."

Luo Zai Shui felt her brows twitching violently. How was she supposed to explain this to these people? There was nothing to hide about Su Wu Si from them, but the heavenly lightning was a real problem. She hadn't brought enough talismans to protect her from it today.

Su Wusi on the field hadn't realized that she had revealed too much; all she wanted to do now was beat Xu Yu.

To put it simply, they got carried away.

Su Wusi's stamina had been largely depleted, but Xu Yu's offensive showed no signs of abating, and he gradually began to feel the strain.

She gritted her teeth and casually began to use the Wind Riding Technique. Xu Yu suddenly lost his focus, and Su Wusi, who had been out of sight just moments before, suddenly multiplied into several.

With the exact same expression and the exact same moves, Xu Yu, sword in hand, didn't know which side to defend against. He could only stare intently at each figure, wary of her next move.

There's a flaw!

Xu Yu immediately noticed that Su Wusi's speed had slowed down by two points. Thinking he had captured Su Wusi's true form, Xu Yu didn't think much of it and directly thrust his sword at him.

Unexpectedly, a voice rang out from behind.

"You guessed wrong, I'm right behind you."

The cold tip of the sword pressed against the back of his neck. Xu Yu dared not move an inch. The outcome was already decided; he had lost.

Seeing that Su Wusi had created several phantoms, Luo Zai Shui stood up and met Su Wusi's gaze, who was expressionlessly sheathing his sword. Su Wusi noticed her gaze, gave her a victorious smile, and then, with trembling legs, returned to the group.

Seeing that Su Wusi had beaten Xu Yu, Jian Muyi started pulling her aside and gesturing wildly. Without even listening, it was clear that he was saying something about how amazing his junior sister was.

"Clap clap-"

Chu Yeli clapped his hands sparsely twice, his eyes filled with even more intense inquiry: "As far as I know, apart from the seniors of Xianyun Peak, only you and that guy Shi Ming can use the Wind Riding Technique to this extent. So, may I ask, is your junior sister truly gifted?"

Xue Xin and Ji Tinghan were stunned. Xianyun Peak was never afraid of outsiders stealing the Wind Riding Technique, because even the most gifted beginners needed at least a year to learn it, and those who could use it to the level of Shi Ming and Luo Zai Shui needed at least ten years. Their junior sister had only been at Xianyun Peak for two years...

Luo Zai Shui looked directly into the man's eyes: "Indeed, you are exceptionally talented. What, are you envious?"

Chu Yeli laughed in exasperation: "Yes, I'm envious, I'm so envious! Your Xianyun Peak is hiding such a big secret, of course I'm envious."

Luo Zai Shui calmly turned her gaze back to the field and said, "Curiosity killed the cat."

Ji Tinghan wasn't particularly surprised, but Xue Xin asked in a low voice, "What secrets does our Xianyun Peak hold?"

Ji Tinghan glanced at his senior sister, then at his junior sister in the audience, and mimicked his senior brother's tone, saying, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Hey, you..." Xue Xin tried to provoke him, "Do you know what?"

Ji Tinghan replied matter-of-factly, "I don't know."

Very well, the reverse psychology tactic is no longer working on Ji Tinghan; he's already a mature adult.

Xue Xin scratched his head, convincing himself that there must be a reason why his senior sisters didn't say anything.

Nie Xushuang whispered something in Luo Zaishui's ear. Luo Zaishui shook her head. Nie Xushuang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and sat up straight.

Seeing the two of them whispering, Chu Yeli couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? Is there something I can't hear?"

Luo Zai Shui looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and Nie Xu Shuang spoke first: "I asked her if her junior sister had been possessed by Ji Yun, otherwise how could her swordsmanship and the Riding the Wind Technique be used so similarly?"

"Huh?" This was something Chu Yeli hadn't expected, but it didn't seem impossible. "Is that Senior Sister Ji?"

Luo Zai Shui looked at him like he was an idiot: "What do you think?"

Chu Yeli thought about it seriously for a moment: "I don't think Ji Yun would do such a thing."

"It's good that you know, don't be so curious."

After speaking, Luo Zai Shui focused her attention back on the field.

In this round, Jian Muyi and Zhou Mian faced off.
