Chapter 51: We Knew

Atlas Studios Atlas Studios

Below the stage, Ye Qiu felt his blood surging when he heard it.

He held the Azure Dragon Spear and jumped onto the stage. “Qingyun Sect’s Ye Qiu is right here!”

“Your Highness, you’ve already fought three consecutive rounds. Please take a rest first. Leave this person to me!” Ye Qiu cupped his hands and assured.

Murong Xingqiao nodded. She was not a person who boasted of her capability. She had already proven herself.

Knowing when to stop was the best option.

Therefore, she handed the stage to Ye Qiu.

“Come on, Ye Qiu!”

“Go beat him!”

The people yelled excitedly.

Zhu Xiaotian took a look at Ji Qinglan beside the stage and the sword on his back.

A barely noticeable glint flashed through his eyes.

He secretly calculated how he would challenge Ji Qinglan later and win the Reverse Scale Sword.

On the stage, Ye Qiu and Gu Tianlong cupped their hands.

Then, without hesitation, both released their aura and rushed toward each other.

At the same time, at the Qingyun Sect recruitment station.

Li Yu finished the last chicken, burped, and wiped his hands and mouth in satisfaction.

Finally, he carried his sword and leisurely walked toward the arena.

Wave after wave of intense fighting and roaring cheers crashed the square.

Li Yu remained calm. He was not worried that Ye Qiu would lose.

Ye Qiu had awakened the Overlord Blood Body and even consumed the Dragon Strength Pill. His improvement was freakish.

More importantly, this fellow was filled with passion and would explode at the slightest spark.

Ye Qiu was probably about to be set ablaze with such a lively atmosphere.

He might turn into the Turtle Spiritual Earth Core Flame anytime and burn his opponent to death.

Indeed, when Li Yu squeezed through the crowd and approached the arena, Gu Tianlong had already been kicked off the stage by Ye Qiu.

“Yeah!”

The crowd’s cheering peaked, and their voices drowned the entire Dao Seeking Square like a tsunami.

“Ye Qiu is so strong. No wonder he could reach second place on the Hidden Dragon Rankings!”

“We really have to see him in a new light after only a few days!”

“Haha, now the Xi Liang folks must be speechless. They said that our rankings were lousy, but it seems like their Hidden Dragon Rankings are the actual lousy ones!”

“Hahaha, that’s right!” The crowd discussed excitedly.

The jeering crowd made the faces of those Xi Liang young elites turn grim.

“That was a good match!” Ye Qiu cupped his hands to Gu Tianlong.

Then, he looked at the surrounding crowd and articulated loudly, “Everyone, the Qingyun Sect’s recruitment station is in the southeast corner. We welcome you to join our Qingyun Sect.

“Although our sect is small, it’s filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There’s no need to talk about my senior brother. He’s ranked first on the Heavenly Dao Rankings. My master is a peerless expert from the Great Zenith Domain. I credit my master’s guidance and help to quickly break through and move from third place to second place. Also, my senior brother is…”

“Where is your senior brother?” Ji Qinglan’s words interrupted Ye Qiu. At the same time, he flew onto the stage from below.

“If you wish to challenge my senior brother, you’ll have to get past me first!” Ye Qiu looked at Ji Qinglan, his eyes burning with battle intent again.

He was looking forward to the battle with Ji Qinglan.

The number one on the Xi Liang Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings, a prodigy with the Connate Sword Body.

He wanted to see how strong Ji Qinglan was.

Ji Qinglan did not speak and adopted a posture that gestured, ‘Bring it on.’

He did not even draw his sword.

Although he only wanted to fight Li Yu, his side had already been utterly defeated.

He needed to save face for the Xi Liang Dynasty immediately.

In the meantime, he could warm himself up.

“Humph! Arrogant!” Ye Qiu bellowed angrily. His spear was like a dragon, and his aura was magnificent.

The long spear swept toward Ji Qinglan with tremendous force.

However, the spear was grabbed by Ji Qinglan bare-handed. At the same time, he chopped with his hand. A sharp sword qi tore through the air and slashed at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu could not dodge in time and could only use his spear to block.

Boom!

The power from the sword qi actually forced Ye Qiu far away, and he almost fell off the stage.

The surrounding crowd could not help breaking into a sweat.

Meanwhile, Li Yu’s gaze was focused on Ji Qinglan at the moment, and a wisp of surprise surfaced on his face.

“This guy is another one I’m fated to meet!”

Li Yu had just arrived near the stage when he saw Ji Qinglan.

The system interface popped up, introducing Ji Qinglan’s detailed information.

This included the Reverse Scale Sword he possessed and the remnant soul of the sword immortal hidden in it.

Furthermore, the system indicated that this person could activate the Pan Emperor Immortal Abode mission.

“So he’s a prodigy with his own old master. No wonder he’s so powerful!” Li Yu sighed.

Since we’re fated, all the more I have to con this guy into… uh, recruit him into the sect.

Just as Li Yu was thinking, Ye Qiu got knocked off the stage platform by Ji Qinglan.

Li Yu’s figure moved in a flash as he grabbed the falling Ye Qiu and steadied his body before landing on the ground.

At the same time, Ji Qinglan looked at Li Yu and immediately figured out his identity.

“You’re Li Yu?” Ji Qinglan’s words made the crowd gather their gazes in the same direction.

Many people here had only heard of Li Yu’s name, but they had never seen him before. Hence, they sized him up curiously.

Their eyes brightened when they saw Li Yu’s appearance and aura.

It was just like what anyone would expect from the peerless genius ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings and the Physique Rankings. His appearance and bearing were extraordinary indeed.

“This Li Yu is so handsome!”

“He’s so handsome and strong. I think I’m in love!” Some young girls could not help but look at him with stars in their eyes.

Meanwhile, at that moment, Zhu Xiaotian’s expression became ugly as he looked at Ji Qinglan on the stage.

Fortunately, he did not act on impulse just now and challenged Ji Qinglan to a bet before Ye Qiu did.

Instead, he planned to find out more about Ji Qinglan’s capability through the fight with Ye Qiu.

However, his heart turned cold after watching it.

Ji Qinglan was far stronger than he remembered in his previous life. Even Ye Qiu had already shocked him greatly.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Ye Qiu’s strength had indeed surpassed his.

And Ji Qinglan was way above him.

He had no chance of winning at all. If he did bet with Ji Qinglan, he would probably suffer a double loss.

Damn it, what’s wrong with this world!?Zhu Xiaotian got depressed.

It seemed that this world was no longer the world he knew anymore.

He had believed that he would be the main character here. Yet he did not expect that he would only be reduced to an audience.

He hated to accept it, but there was nothing he could do.

The main character today would definitely be Li Yu again!

“Mm! That’s right!” Li Yu replied to Ji Qinglan with an indifferent expression.

“Ye Qiu is beaten. Now it’s your turn!” Ji Qinglan’s gaze was sharp, and every word was powerful and resonating.

“You want to challenge me?” Li Yu inquired.

“That’s right!” Ji Qinglan nodded.

“You can challenge me, but simply sparring is boring. Why don’t we play something exciting!” A sly smile surfaced on Li Yu’s lips again.

“What do you mean?” Ji Qinglan was somewhat puzzled.

“Why don’t we have a bet?”

Upon hearing Li Yu’s words, the surrounding disciples of the various sects and large family clans smiled.

They knew Li Yu’s tricks!

Previously, they were the ones who were deceived. This time, they had become spectators, so they were eager to watch the show!

All of them looked like they were waiting for a good show as they watched Ji Qinglan on the stage.
