Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Top Ten Disciples of the Outer Sect!
"Such a fast Demon Beast! That’s the Fiery Fire Bird of the Fierce Cloud Sect!"
"An elder from the Fierce Cloud Sect has arrived, quickly inform the other elders!"
The presence of the Fiery Fire Bird caused a commotion among the Outer Disciples near the mountain gate.
Whoosh!
A figure descended in front of the mountain gate, it was an Outer Elder, who asked loudly:
"Who goes there?"
Sun Yingyang glanced over, indifferently said:
"I, Sun Yingyang, have arrived, and there’s only an Outer Elder to greet me? Is this how the Xuanyuan Sect treats guests?"
The Outer Elder suppressed his anger and said, "The elders are already waiting in the Guest Hall, please come in!"
Though the Xuanyuan Sect and the Fierce Cloud Sect were at odds, like fire and water.
When an elder from the Fierce Cloud Sect visits personally, it’s ceremonial and courteous to offer a grand reception.
This is the rule and face between sects.
Moments later, the group arrived at the Guest Hall behind the Outer Martial Arts Square. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
All the Outer Elders were already present, with Luo Cheng’s mentor, Chen Xuan, at the head of the table.
The Great Elder of the Outer Sect was absent, thus making him the highest-ranking.
The host and guests took their seats.
Chen Xuan noticed the several disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect behind Sun Yingyang, his gaze slightly focused.
Although these individuals had low cultivation, all were at the Transcendence Realm.
Each was very young, with robust vitality, and without even focusing, one could sense their energetic aura, exuding strong confidence and amazing potential, far more outstanding than the Xuanyuan Sect disciples of the same level.
Other elders of the Xuanyuan Sect sighed inwardly.
The young generation of the Fierce Cloud Sect was head and shoulders above the Xuanyuan Sect overall.
This was something inevitable.
The Fierce Cloud Sect was thriving and prosperous, already the number one sect of the Great Yue Dynasty, attracting many outstanding talents.
If this continued, the Xuanyuan Sect would only decline further.
Quietly sighing, Chen Xuan spoke directly:
"Sun Yingyang, what brings you here this time? Surely not just for a visit."
Sun Yingyang remained indifferent, replied, "Where is your Outer Great Elder Qin Yun? Why hasn’t he come out to see me?"
An elder with a fiery temperament immediately shouted in anger:
"Sun Yingyang, speak plainly and swiftly! This is not the place for your boasting!"
Sun Yingyang chuckled lightly, "If I wanted to boast, I wouldn’t come to the Xuanyuan Sect."
Upon hearing, everyone present glared angrily.
Chen Xuan cleared his throat and said, "The Great Elder is away on affairs, currently not in the sect. If you have something to say, speak out clearly."
Sun Yingyang took a sip of tea before saying, "I am here, not for much else, just a matter of the younger generation."
"The younger generation?"
Chen Xuan was slightly surprised.
He wondered what matter warranted the usually high-and-mighty Sun Yingyang to make a trip personally.
At this moment, Sun Chuanwu, who sat beside Sun Yingyang, stood up, his gaze fierce.
"Elders, is Yu Yue present? Have him come out and fight me!"
Sun Chuanwu was here not for Luo Cheng.
A Transcendence Realm martial artist who awakened a Wasted Martial Soul wasn’t worth his attention.
Not even worthy of remembering!
He came this time for the sixth-ranked in the Xuanyuan Sect’s Outer Top Ten Disciples, Yu Yue!
Three months ago, due to a mission, they had a duel but ended without a decisive outcome.
"Yu Yue?"
Elder Chen Xuan looked towards the Fifth Elder beside him.
Yu Yue was the direct disciple of the Fifth Elder!
The Fifth Elder, Mu Yuan, was about fifty, slightly pudgier, with two goatee like tufts, glanced at Sun Chuanwu before speaking:
"Yu Yue is in closed training, currently not to be disturbed."
Sun Chuanwu came in full force, the Fifth Elder worried Yu Yue would not be his match.
Moreover, Sun Yingyang’s personal visit surely meant more than just an exchange of skills.
Sun Yingyang laughed, "My son ranks sixth among our sect’s Outer Top Ten Disciples, Yu Yue ranks sixth in Xuanyuan Sect’s Outer Top Ten. The two should exchange skills for mutual benefit, no need for Elder Mu to be so standoffish."
Sun Chuanwu sneered arrogantly, "Are you afraid of losing? With such little character, it’s no wonder the Xuanyuan Sect is failing more and more..."
"Insolent brat!"
Even with a good temper, the Fifth Elder blushed with anger at Sun Chuanwu’s words and stood up swiftly.
"Master, just agree!"
At this moment, a clear voice rang out.
A young figure walked into the hall.
The newcomer was about sixteen or seventeen, tall and sturdy, with chiseled features, his hands hung down to his knees, striding with vigorous steps, it was the sixth-ranked among the Xuanyuan Sect’s Top Ten Disciples, Yu Yue!
Looking at Sun Chuanwu, Yu Yue’s eyes blazed with a shocking fighting spirit, coldly said:
"Sun Chuanwu, even if you hadn’t come to challenge me, I would have come to challenge you. It’s time to settle our battle from three months ago! Today, you are sure to lose!"
Sun Chuanwu sneered, "Three months ago, you still had a fighting chance against me, too bad you didn’t seize it."
Boom!
As he spoke, a remarkable fluctuation of Essence Energy erupted from Sun Chuanwu’s body.
The immense pressure swept around, stirring up a wild wind in the hall.
"Tongxuan Realm, Third Layer Late Stage! Such strong aura!"
Elder Chen Xuan and others slightly furrowed their brows.
Yu Yue’s eyes also grew serious, yet showed no fear: "You’re not the only one who has improved!"
Buzz!
Stepping forward, Yu Yue’s stature seemed to rise, a thick and heavy aura spreading, fending off Sun Chuanwu’s oppressive force.
Their eyes met from a distance, their auras clashed, creating ripples in the air of the hall.
Things had come to this, there was no other choice.
Elder Chen Xuan said, "Since it’s an exchange of skills, let it be a point sparring match. To the Martial Arts Square then!"
The group immediately set off to the Martial Arts Square.
The news, like a hurricane, swiftly spread across the entire Outer Sect.
One was the top disciple of the Fierce Cloud Sect’s Outer Ten, while the other from the Xuanyuan Sect — a clash between the peaks of the younger generation of both sects!
Such a duel was not a common sight.
Upon hearing the news, many Outer Disciples flocked to the Martial Arts Square, even Yan Qi came.
Amidst all eyes, Sun Chuanwu and Yu Yue ascended the ring, facing each other.
"Draw your sword!"
Yu Yue stared at Sun Chuanwu, his eyes blazing intensely, full of battling fervor.
Sun Chuanwu glanced at Yu Yue, gently shook his head, "If I draw my sword, you won’t have a chance to strike. Wouldn’t that be boring!"
Upon hearing, Yu Yue’s face darkened, sneered repeatedly:
"Interesting, just three months apart, and you’ve grown even more arrogant! If you don’t draw your sword, I’ll force you to!"
Boom!
As his words fell, a blazing red light shot up behind Yu Yue, it was a giant flame wolf engulfed in flames, seven stars glowing brilliantly!
"Take my punch, Extreme Fire Dominator Fist!!"
In a rage, Yu Yue pushed his combat power to the peak, launching a deadly move right off.
Boom!
The air above the ring was blasted into a one-meter-wide fiery crack, rapidly extending towards Sun Chuanwu, scorching the blue stones of the ring and causing them to split.
Sun Chuanwu’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t draw his sword, his right hand enveloped in a layer of cyan aura, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and he struck out with a palm.
Buzz!
As the two forces clashed, the entire ring turned into a transparent sphere of ice and fire.
Soon after.
Boom!
The transparent sphere exploded, the fierce Qi Force tore the ground to shreds!
Thunk thunk thunk...
Sun Chuanwu retreated several steps, then steadied his stance.
"Good!"
Seeing Yu Yue gaining the upper hand, many Xuanyuan Sect disciples cheered loudly.
Yu Yue’s clothes flapped in the air, staring at Sun Chuanwu coldly said: "It seems over these three months, you haven’t made much progress. This battle, you are sure to lose!"
"Is that so?"
Sun Chuanwu sneered, took a deep breath, his right hand placed on the hilt of his sword.
Buzz!
The sword yet unsheathed, a sharp aura suddenly spread, causing many Outer Disciples present to shiver involuntarily!
