98: Chapter 98 Getting into the Top Ten

"Su Lianxue has only been in the Sect for about half a year, yet she defeated a Senior Brother at the seventh stage of Body Tempering. Is that for real?"

A Disciple who had joined the Sect at the same time as Su Lianxue looked at her on the arena and exclaimed in shock.

He knew that Su Lianxue possessed extraordinary Aptitude—a Nine-and-a-half-segment aptitude—and that currently, perhaps no one in Yuanxu Mountain could surpass her potential.

But he had not expected that in just half a year, Su Lianxue would have already defeated a Disciple at the seventh stage of Body Tempering.

Then what level of Body Tempering is she at now?

Eight times?

Or nine times?

"Lianxue." Cai Zhiyuan watched Su Lianxue on the stage and couldn't help but clench his fists.

He had not expected this scene either.

Naturally, he was participating in this Sect Competition.

It was just that Cai Zhiyuan was only at the fifth stage of Body Tempering.

However, this level of strength was already among the best in their batch of Disciples.

Participating in the Sect Competition this time was his own choice, and he had also received support from his Revered Master, allowing him to witness the strength of the Disciples within the Sect and gain experience.

But the strength Su Lianxue displayed had stunned him.

It also made him more determined in his own thoughts.

Only such a woman is worthy of him.

His cultivation was indeed not as good as Su Lianxue's, but he would sooner or later catch up to her pace.

"Su Lianxue, she is the one with the Nine-and-a-half-segment aptitude, the new Disciple taken in by Master Yun Hua." Senior Chai Li looked at Su Lianxue and said coldly.

"That should be her." Gu Jingyan said with a smile.

Just like Master Yun Hua, she is a stunning beauty; even she felt a little tempted looking at her.

And with such high Aptitude, she might just be the next Master Yun Hua.

But whether she can truly become the next Master Yun Hua, that remains to be seen.

"Yuanxu Mountain is truly thriving."

Unknown when, an old man dressed entirely in black appeared beside them.

Only then did Senior Chai Li and Gu Jingyan notice the old man who had appeared beside them, and looks of slight shock and suspicion appeared on their faces.

As for Granny Yan, she subconsciously took a few steps back, and a few traces of imperceptible shock flashed in her eyes.

Second Round.

After resting for a period, Su Lianxue welcomed her second-round opponent, this time an opponent at the eighth stage of Body Tempering.

It was still one punch; just like how she treated the Disciple from the Yongzhen Sect, Su Lianxue ended this match with a single punch.

This made the surrounding crowd realize that Su Lianxue had likely reached the ninth stage of Body Tempering, and might even be pushing towards the tenth stage.

For a Genius of this level, she would certainly not be limited to the ninth stage of Body Tempering.

Su Lianxue's performance also attracted the attention of more people; whether it was people from Yuanxu Mountain or other Sects, they all developed significant interest in her.

"So beautiful." Xue Qifeng stood behind his father, looking at where Su Lianxue was, a look of slight greed appearing on his face.

"Put away your pathetic thoughts." Xue Yuankong said coldly.

If it were some ordinary Disciple, he wouldn't bother managing his son.

But Su Lianxue was different; she was the Disciple of Master Yun Hua, and he dared not let his son lay a finger on her, otherwise he would be the one in trouble.

He was still very wary of Master Yun Hua.

However, Xue Qifeng didn't take his father's words to heart.

As long as he successfully secured Su Lianxue, even that Master Yun Hua couldn't do anything to him.

Moreover, he heard that Master Yun Hua was also a stunning beauty; he would like to see just how stunning this beauty really was.

"Have you found it yet?" Xue Yuankong no longer paid attention to his son and asked an old man beside him.

"Not yet." Huang Ze shook his head and said.

"You must find him for me." Xue Yuankong said in an unquestionable tone.

An eighth-rank tianyuan spirit tree.

This was an eighth-rank spiritual plant, and one that was extremely difficult to grow, like the tianyuan spirit tree.

Moreover, the fruit produced by the tianyuan spirit tree was of great help to him, and could even help his cultivation take a step further.

One must know that Xue Yuankong had been stuck at Other Shore Level 6 for nearly two hundred years, and he did not have many hundreds of years left to live.

It was precisely because of this that he was certainly unwilling to let go of any opportunity, any opportunity that could help him achieve a Breakthrough.

The eighth-rank tianyuan spirit tree, he must obtain it.

Since the people below could not find it, he would come himself.

This eighth-rank tianyuan spirit tree must be his, and it could only be his.

Lin Ming did not know at this time that his tianyuan spirit tree had already been targeted by others.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't take this matter to heart.

...

Full Victory.

Su Lianxue also ended the first day of battles with a full victory.

After finishing the first battle, she did not linger too much on the plaza and returned directly to Zichen Peak.

During this time, many male Disciples approached Su Lianxue, attempting to befriend her or get closer to her.

But they were all ignored by Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue quickly returned to Zichen Peak and saw Lin Ming lying on a chair, looking leisurely.

"Junior Sister, how was the competition?" Lin Ming noticed Su Lianxue's return and asked her.

"Full victory." Su Lianxue replied with these two words.

Lin Ming was not surprised by this; it was within his expectations.

"Eleven times Body Tempering; if nothing goes wrong, there should be no one in the Body Tempering Realm of Yuanxu Mountain who can defeat you." Elder Mu Shan appeared.

After watching the battles between Disciples of the Body Tempering Realm and Spirit Guiding Realm for a while, she also returned to Zichen Peak.

"On the other hand, you, there are quite a few formidable Disciples in the Spirit Platform Realm of your Yuanxu Mountain." Elder Mu Shan's gaze fell on Lin Ming as she said this.

Although Lin Ming's strength was indeed strong. Triple Sword Intent plus Void Tribulation Finger.

But this did not mean that Lin Ming was an invincible existence in the Spirit Platform Realm. Although the Void Tribulation Finger move was monstrous, Lin Ming was only a practitioner of the Spirit Platform Realm and could only unleash a portion of the Void Tribulation Finger's power.

Moreover, she had read some information about Yuanxu Mountain before coming here; among the practitioners of the Spirit Platform Realm, there were indeed a few famous Disciples in Yuanxu Mountain, whose strength should be on par with those from their Yongzhen Sect.

"Elder Sister Mu, there's no need to worry about me; if I can win, I'll win, and if I can't, we'll see." Lin Ming said somewhat indifferently.

"If you lose, be careful that your Revered Master expels you from the Sect." Elder Mu Shan said with a teasing tone.

But teasing was just teasing; she knew that Master Yun Hua really might do such a thing. Elder Mu Shan knew her too well.

"Revered Master wouldn't do that." Lin Ming denied.

Denying was one thing, but Lin Ming knew in his heart that Master Yun Hua really might do such a thing.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to sneak into the top ten.

As for what happens after the top ten, we'll see.
