56: Su Luo’s hiding directly reached the top.

“I didn't expect that stone stairs would finally appear halfway up Qingshan Mountain!”

“Great, this competition is finally about to begin. With Core Disciples being eliminated, I'm curious who will ultimately qualify to become a True Disciple.”

“As long as one ascends this stone platform and defeats the invaders, they can become a True Disciple. Many Disciples are now exhausted, so someone will surely rush to occupy it!”

“…”

The many Disciples outside Qingshan Mountain couldn't help but murmur in excitement when they saw this.

The many Core Disciples present also showed a flicker of excitement in their eyes, then all let out a long breath.

However, the Core Disciples on the cyan stone steps were all Geniuses among Geniuses. Many Disciples, seeing this, only looked from the lowest stone platform.

After a moment of hesitation, they continued to walk upwards.

They all wanted to go higher, as it would surely lead to a better ranking.

Another stick of incense time passed.

The Core Disciples on the cyan stone steps were pale, covered in sweat, their bodies feeling as if they were carrying a mountain, and their steps were extremely slow.

Finally, two-thirds of the way up the mountain, many Disciples could no longer hold on, soaring directly onto the stone platforms floating beside the cyan stone steps.

After the first Disciple took the lead, many Disciples present also swiftly rushed towards the stone platforms.

Boom!

Soon.

On the stone platforms, countless violent Spiritual Qi burst forth, and the entire air emitted a low booming sound. The scene was incredibly dazzling and magnificent.

On the floating stone platforms, countless strong winds whistled, and in many battles, the stones were even cracked.

Among the one hundred ninety-nine floating stone platforms, the competitions between the various Core Disciples were naturally very exciting, but on the cyan stone steps, many Disciples were still persevering.

If one looked closely, there were still over thirty people, most of whom had reached the Linghai Realm Third Level, and of course, Qi Yue, who was the first in the Linghai Realm Seventh Level.

Another stick of incense time passed.

On the entire Qingshan Mountain staircase, many of the first ones had only a quarter of the distance left.

Among them, many powerful Disciples also couldn't hold on and chose to sit on a stone platform directly. However, Zhou Xuan and the other two were still among the slower group.

On the entire cyan stone steps, only about ten people remained.

Many Disciples below, seeing this, took a deep breath, their eyes filled with shock, especially when they saw Zhou Xuan and the two charming women behind him, they couldn't help but discuss.

“I didn't expect Cheng Qingyue and Sister Liuyin'er, these two beautiful Disciples, to be among the last ten Disciples remaining.”

“Junior Brother Zhou Xuan's strength is very strong, so he has been using extra Spiritual Qi to help them both resist some of the impact of the cyan torrent. Otherwise, they might not have achieved what they have now.”

“If Zhou Xuan is so overconfident, and if he wants to contend with Senior Brother Qi Yue for first place, he will probably expend a lot of Spiritual Qi, which might be a significant obstacle to him winning first place.”

“Bro, you don't really think Zhou Xuan can defeat Senior Brother Qi Yue, do you? What are you thinking? He's only been a Core Disciple for less than three months, it's absolutely impossible!”

“If Zhou Xuan can defeat Senior Brother Qi Yue, I'll eat one right in front of the countless Disciples present!”

“…”

Many Inner Sect Disciples present discussed excitedly, their eyes looking towards the cyan stone steps, filled with anticipation and wonder.

After all, the Disciples currently standing there, no matter what, were the top ten of this Selection Ceremony.

Sister Liuyin'er and Cheng Qingyue looked at Zhou Xuan and said, “We are now firmly in the top ten. We thank you for this.”

“Zhou Xuan, we will remember this favor. In the future, even if there are some excessive requests, we can agree to them.”

After saying this, the two women looked at Zhou Xuan with a hint of charm and teasing, then their delicate bodies moved, soaring towards the stone platforms beside the cyan stone steps.

After seeing the two women leave, Zhou Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, then his gaze turned to Qi Yue ahead, his eyes flashing with strong Battle Intent.

Currently, in front of him, there was Xiong Zhen, whom he had defeated with one punch, as well as Yang Ningxuan and others. Of course, the one ranked first was naturally Qi Yue.

Zhou Xuan and Qi Yue's gazes collided at this moment. Even with the cyan torrent, many people present could still see a strong sense of gunpowder.

Xiong Zhen glanced in Zhou Xuan's direction and sneered, saying:

“With such a great distance, I don't believe this waste can compare to Senior Brother Qi Yue. It's probably impossible for him to even catch up to me!”

However, just as his voice fell, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth suddenly seemed to boil, and then a crimson stream of light directly surged upwards.

In just a few breaths, Zhou Xuan directly caught up, and even directly brushed past Xiong Zhen's body.

The sneer on Xiong Zhen's face suddenly stiffened, his entire face filled with shock, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

The sudden burst of speed from Zhou Xuan caused a series of exclamations from the many Disciples present, as if they were about to shake the plaza below Qingshan Mountain.

“How is that possible? Junior Brother Zhou Xuan's speed is so fast?”

“I didn't expect Zhou Xuan to still be hiding his strength. He is truly terrifying. Perhaps in his competition with Qi Yue, he might actually be able to defeat Qi Yue, the number one Core Disciple.”

“This speed is probably even faster than Qi Yue's. I didn't expect Junior Brother Zhou Xuan to hide so deeply.”

“…”

Many Disciples present couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, their eyes filled with shock.

Qi Yue, seeing this from above, also looked displeased, then a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and his powerful Spiritual Qi directly surged out.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, he shook his hands, punched out, and directly blasted open a hundred-zhang giant wave, then his body's speed soared, rushing towards the mountaintop like an arrow.

“It seems that the first person to land on the stone platform on Qingshan Mountain will probably be Qi Yue.”

Ye Wufen of Sword Peak rubbed his palms, glanced at Qi Yue, and said lightly.

Currently, Qi Yue was only a hundred zhang away from the golden stone platform at the summit, and the gap between him and Yang Ningxuan and others behind him was considerable, making it impossible for them to surpass him.

Many Disciples present, seeing Qi Yue's speed suddenly increase, also let out countless exclamations of admiration.

Boom!

The hundred-zhang cyan waves continuously roared downwards. Zhou Xuan, seeing Qi Yue rapidly rushing upwards, couldn't help but frown.

“This guy is still hiding his strength until now.”

“But you wouldn't think that just because you, Great Master, are hiding your strength, I'm not, would you?”

As soon as his voice fell, subtle crimson patterns appeared on Zhou Xuan's body surface, and a crimson hue emerged in his entire eyes.

Next second.

Boom!

His Physical Body instantly became like a furnace, directly evaporating the cyan giant wave, and his entire body flickered, directly giving chase.

“Flowing Wind Flash Shadow!”

Zhou Xuan roared, his body moving like lightning, flashing twice, and directly sweeping past Yang Ningxuan's side.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, in just a few breaths, he directly caught up to Qi Yue, and even steadily surpassed him by a body length.

Qi Yue's gaze swept over, his eyes bursting with intense coldness, almost freezing the entire air.

“Zhou Xuan, I didn't expect you to be rushing to your death.”

“Fine, today, in front of the entire Sect, I will defeat you here!”

Boom!

Under the astonished gaze of countless Disciples, Zhou Xuan was the first to step onto the golden stone platform, and Qi Yue followed closely, directly passing through the hundred-zhang cyan wave and stepping onto it as well.
