Chapter 472 "Sword Spirit Senior Brother, You're So Flirtatious~"
"Hahahaha... Chen Xin, you've really suffered a big setback this time!"
How did it feel to be defeated in front of everyone by a freshman? What are your thoughts?
Under the big locust tree, Chen Xin, who was helped back by his companions, was immediately surrounded and ridiculed by his friends who had watched the whole battle.
Chen Xin swallowed a healing pill and coldly uttered two words: "Shut up!"
"Chen Xin, are you angry because you're embarrassed?"
A figure leaped down from a tree branch, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Let me go and meet that Rong Shu. He's just a freshman who has just comprehended a supernatural power. If your supernatural power cultivation hadn't been inadequate and you hadn't been careless and underestimated your opponent, would you have lost so miserably?"
Chen Xin tried to hold back, but couldn't help but say something to save face: "Her supernatural powers... can just right counter my supernatural powers."
"That's all an excuse, haha! Little brother Chen Xin, you still have a lot of practice to do!"
"roll!"
Seeing that these people were all eager to try and bully the younger ones at the Cuckoo Garden, a woman in black who was lying under a tree with her eyes closed and pretending to be asleep had to speak up to stop them: "How dare you bully the freshmen... Only one more person can go."
"Alright! You said it in Yun Duan! I'll be going now!"
"Hey! You little brat, you jumped the gun! Shameless!"
The group that had gathered under the big locust tree scattered immediately, each rushing towards the Cuckoo Garden, afraid of being a step too late.
A moment later, Chen Xin finished regulating his breathing and opened his eyes to look at the woman in black:
"Sister, just as you predicted, that Rong Shu... his cultivation has truly reached the Nascent Soul stage, and he even... he even comprehended a supernatural technique in the heat of battle." The last sentence made Chen Xin a little embarrassed to say it.
“As expected.” The woman in black leaned against a tree, her posture languid. “Ten years ago, during the Dragon and Tiger Ranking competition, everyone was closely watching the battles in the arena…”
She noticed, unintentionally, that some of the onlookers were exhibiting unusual fluctuations in their aura.
A quick scan with his divine sense revealed Rong Shu in a state of 'enlightenment'.
That feeling... was the profound sense of about to comprehend a supernatural power.
To be able to touch the threshold of supernatural arts so quickly, Rong Shu's cultivation level... even if it's not the hidden Nascent Soul stage, it's only one step away from Nascent Soul.
"Sister, with your strength, you are fully capable of competing for a place on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. Why have you never participated in any competitions?" This has always been Chen Xin's question.
The woman in black smiled calmly: "There's a saying: 'Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.' If you're going to compete, compete for first place. What's the point of getting second or third if you can't even get first?"
Hearing this answer, Chen Xin was somewhat surprised: "Sister, are you not confident in winning the top spot on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, so you simply decided not to participate in the competition?"
But upon further reflection, Chenxin felt it was only natural.
His older sister, from childhood to adulthood, whether she was cultivating within the family or traveling incognito under the alias 'Cloud,' always strived for excellence and had an almost demanding personality when it came to perfection.
"Top scholar in the academy... what a dazzling honor! Who wouldn't want it?"
Although the woman in black was arrogant, she was also self-aware.
She was confident she could make it onto the Dragon and Tiger Rankings, but becoming the top-ranked player... would be difficult.
"Since its founding, the academy has only produced six generations of chief disciples. Who knows when the seventh generation chief disciple will suddenly appear..."
A figure in green robes subconsciously appeared in the woman's mind...
That was Jiuxiao, the sixth-generation chief disciple of the academy.
She had the privilege of fighting against Jiu Xiao... but the result was somewhat discouraging, to the point that she lost the will to participate in any battles.
Having witnessed the breathtaking scenery from the mountaintop, who would still yearn for the flowers and grasses on the mountainside?
"I only hope that the next Dragon and Tiger Ranking will produce the next generation's chief. If I defeat him then, I will not be the chief, but I will be better than the chief. Wouldn't that be more interesting?" Yun Duan clenched his fists, suppressing the faint excitement in his heart.
Chen Xin was unaware of what her elder sister was thinking, and simply snorted: "If elder sister had been born two hundred years earlier or two hundred years later, the top position on the seventh generation Dragon and Tiger List would definitely have been hers."
Yun Duan shook his head helplessly: "There's no need to have so much confidence in me. Even among the current freshmen, there are two or three geniuses who will be able to compete for a spot on the list in the future."
"Rong Shu, who just defeated you, isn't she? She comes from Zhanming Mountain and is the champion of this year's Heroes' Gathering. She will most likely be on the Dragon and Tiger List next year, and she is also a strong competitor of yours."
Chen Xin's face darkened: "So what if they're disciples of Zhanming Mountain? Does that make them superior? Does it make you think everyone has been the champion of the Heroes' Gathering? Sister, weren't you the champion of the Heroes' Gathering back then?"
Yun Duan crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows: "Chen Xin, when you were little...didn't you yearn for Zhanming Mountain? You even clamored to run away from home and join Zhanming Mountain."
"No, I didn't! Sister, you're mistaken! What's so great about the disciples of Zhanming Mountain! Especially that fourth disciple, Xiao Zi'an from the Xiao family..."
Chen Xin paused, subconsciously observing Yun Duan's expression. "If he hadn't been sore loser at the Heroes' Gathering and made baseless accusations against you, why have you remained at the academy for so many years?"
He remained at the Jixia Academy in the clouds.
Chen Xin, who had not yet come to Jixia Academy to study, was unable to see his older sister and could only wait longingly at home.
Why bring up that young master? Do you think I'm afraid of him?
So many years have passed, and Yun Duan has almost forgotten the faces of some of his old friends.
There's just a vague impression left in my mind... just a vengeful and prickly childish brat.
Chen Xin naturally sided with her elder sister and harbored considerable hostility towards the disciples from Zhanming Mountain. "Back then, my elder sister disguised herself as a man to participate in the competition and defeated Xiao Zi'an. Xiao Zi'an was furious afterwards, but he didn't expect that even if he wanted revenge, he would be looking in the wrong direction from beginning to end."
"Yun Duan" is just a pseudonym, and she is not male, but female.
"I have my reasons for staying in the academy, and it has nothing to do with anyone else," Yun Duan sighed helplessly.
Why doesn't anyone believe it?
Chen Xin thought so, and so did several of his close friends.
"Chen Xin, at your age, you are just old enough to participate in the next Millennium Dragon and Tiger Ranking. You must seize the opportunity."
Chen Xin's expression turned serious: "Don't worry, elder sister, I will definitely be on the list! I will bring glory to the family! I will make elder sister proud!"
"Okay, I'll wait." Yun Duan lay back down, resting her head on her arm, and squinted at the horizon.
"This narrow defeat is actually a good thing for you. It's a good opportunity to temper your character. Chen Xin, remember this: there are always people more capable than you. Never underestimate your opponent."
"I understand, elder sister."
……
Two and a half hours later.
In the Zigui Garden.
"So sleepy~"
Rong Shu almost couldn't help but yawn.
Unexpectedly, the absolute defensive effect of the [Lin] seal is so powerful.
Rong Shu remained motionless, allowing the three hundred Nascent Soul stage cultivators to bombard him relentlessly for two and a half hours.
Apart from taking a few newly refined pills to recover his depleted spiritual energy, there was truly no sign of the breach being made.
Rong Shu patted his slightly bulging belly, waved his hand, and took away the remaining fruits and snacks.
Then, he turned around and took out a stack of the latest best-selling storybooks from Zhongzhou, and began to read them with great interest.
Blade & Soul Senior, you're so flirtatious~
Being my dog is your good fortune.
"Reporting to the Princess, you've made the little slave cry again!"
Possessed by a lustful empress, she escapes six months later, clutching her aching back.
When I saw some of the most exciting parts of the fierce battles, I even let out a small exclamation: "Wow!"
The three hundred Nascent Soul stage students, relentlessly bombarding the "turtle shell" of the Immovable King, were speechless.
That's going too far!
You're eating snacks and reading storybooks all day!
Do they even respect us?!
