Chapter 545: The Fighting Begins
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Soon after the middle-aged elder’s announcement, a Great Heavens Peak disciple seated near him stood up first and flew onto the fighting ring.
He was a burly young man with a giant war saber on his back, and his cultivation was at Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm.
He scanned the nine peaks and said loudly, “I’ll start the first fight of this competition. Who would like to join?”
The Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks was not governed by strict rules. Any participating disciple could enter the fighting ring and asked to be challeged, or they could challenge others.
Swoosh!
A yellow-robed young man immediately flew down from Sky-balancing Peak’s mountain.
“I, Yang Mu, will challenge you!” He stared intently at the burly young man.
“You’re no match for me. Sky-balancing Peak should send a real expert!” The burly young man smiled disdainfully with a shake of his head.
“How arrogant!” Yang Mu’s face darkened. He was at the Peak of Lv 8, while his opponent was only at Early Stage Lv 8. How dare he look down on him?
“This Great Heaven Peak disciple is so arrogant!”
“His name is Xiong Bin. He’s a genius from Great Heaven Peak and is extremely powerful, which explains his arrogance!”
“Haha! I didn’t expect to see a super genius fight in the first battle!”
There were at least 300,000 disciples watching, so even the slightest sound could create a commotion.
These spectating disciples were mostly outer disciples, and Xuan Feng was one of the few inner disciples.
In the fighting ring, a silver Treasure Sword appeared in Yang Mu’s hand. He pointed it toward Xiong Bin and yelled coldly, “Whether I am a worthy opponent or not will be determined soon enough.”
“I can beat you with one move!”
Xiong Bin laughed coldly and attacked.
Clang!
He unsheathed his war saber, lept into the air, and saber radiance exploded as he swung the saber downward nine times.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Nine streams of terrifying saber Qi tore through the air like meteors and shot toward Yang Mu.
Yang Mu was shocked and hastily used his long sword to block the blow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of loud continuous explosions, Yang Mu was nowhere to been seen in the ring.
He had been knocked far out of the fighting ring after the first round of attacks.
Their strength was not on the same level!
“Humph! How weak!” Xiong Bin glanced at Yang Mu and scoffed.
“Senior Brother Xiong is so powerful!”
“Senior Brother Xiong is peerless!”
“Great Heavens Peak is the true master of Celestialspirit Sect!”
Great Heaven Peak erupted in cheers following Xiong Bin’s decisive victory. Tens of thousands of disciples waved their arms in excitement.
On the other hand, Sky-balancing Peak fell silent after losing the first battle, and all the elders and participating disciples looked dejected.
Su Mo could not help but show his surprise. This person was so powerful that he was as powerful as a Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm martial artist at only Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm cultivation.
Xiong Bin stayed in the fighting ring after his first victory. He smiled lightly and asked loudly, “Does anyone else want to challenge me?”
Another person immediately flew into the ring.
She was a maiden in red from Dark Sky Peak at Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm.
Unlike the other eight peaks, Dark Sky Peak had mostly female disciples, and only less than 10% of their disciples were male.
Soon, Xiong Bin and this maiden in red were engaged in a fierce battle. They were evenly matched, and there was no sign of a winner.
Su Mo looked toward Dark Sky Peak and saw Hong Qingxuan.
She was sitting on a stone chair, which meant that she was participating in the martial arts competition as well.
Su Mo was surprised to see that her cultivation had increased to Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm.
Just two months ago, she had asked for his help to reach Lv 6 Enlightenment Realm.
Perhaps sensing Su Mo’s gaze, Hong Qingxuan met his gaze with a slight smile.
Su Mo smiled back and nodded.
In the fighting ring, the exciting battle finally came to a close 15 minutes later, as Xiong Bin defeated the maiden in red and won once again.
Xiong Bin was extremely confident after winning twice in a row and turned to look straight at Hua Suiyu. “Hua Suiyu, do you dare to challenge me?” he said coldly.
Xiong Bin’s challenge caused silenced the crowd.
Everyone knew that this was Great Heaven Peak’s probing Towering Sky Peak’s strength!
This year, all the peaks were very strong, except for Towering Sky Peak.
It only had three disciples, and Su Mo and Hua Shaoyu were relatively weak, while Hua Suiyu was consiered the only strong disciple.
Therefore, Xiong Bin’s challenge to Hua Suiyu was probably an attempt to gauge her true power.
Although Hua Suiyu was only at Peak Lv 8, given her status as a Towering Sky Peak disciple, no one dared to underestimate her.
All of Towering Sky Peak’s disciples were talented genius with extraordinary abilities to fight above their level.
Hua Suiyu stood up slowly, her eyes cold. She would not turn down a challenge.
“Seventh Senior Sister, let me fight!” Feng Shaoyu stood up, fighting desire clear in his eyes.
Hua Suiyu looked at him and asked, “Eighth Junior Brother, are you sure you can win this?”
Su Mo and the others looked at Feng Shaoyu in confusion. At only Lv 6 Enlightenment Realm, he did not stand a good chance of winning.
Although they knew that he was powerful, Xiong Bin was also a genius who could fight above his level. Unless Feng Shaoyu used the Three Secret Techniques, he would not be able to win.
Feng Shaoyu took a deep breath and said quietly, “I have a 50% chance of winning! Anyways, Xiong Bin is not worth Seventh Senior Sister’s time!”
In a second, Feng Shaoyu flew onto the fighting ring.
“Xiong Bin, I’ll fight you.” Feng Shaoyu looked straight at Xiong Bin, fighting desire clear in his eyes.
Xiong Bin frowned when he saw that Feng Shaoyu had taken Hua Suiyu’s place.
He had challenged Hua Suiyu so that Great Heaven Peak would have an understanding of how strong she was, but he did not expect that she will not rise to his challenge.
However, he soon figured out that he could continue to challenge Hua Suiyu after defeating Feng Shaoyu.
