Chapter 617: Ouyang Huo (1/2)
A bell rang in the distant Heavenly Yao Peak. This sound resounded throughout heaven and earth. Even after millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect had already changed, but this sound of the ancient bronze bell was still the same without any change.
The withered leaf landed on the branch of a big tree beside the match stage, not attracting anyone’s attention.
Hearing to the sound of ancient bronze bell, Ye Chuan was somewhat lost in thought, reminiscing those years millions of years ago.
After a while, he came back to his senses and discovered that Elder Tianqing who was in control of Heavenly Yao Sect had already arrived at Heavenly Yao Square at an unknown time and he was now sitting on a high platform. Perhaps, he was pretending to be majestic, or perhaps, because of yesterday’s matters, this fellow looked dull and unhappy. The followers around him also looked very cautious.
After another bell ring, the grand competition officially began.
Under the eyes of everyone, a bald man took the initiative to rush onto the stage. He was especially tall and sturdy. In this cold day, other people were wearing thick winter clothes, but he was bare in the upper part, displaying his muscles. He rushed all along the way and the moment his legs landed on the stage, the entire ground vaguely shook along with a muffled explosion sound. Just his brute force shocked people, and looking at his energy fluctuation, he was a Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert.
The disciple of Cold Spring Sect took the initiative to go on stage, welcoming a wave of applause.
Heavenly Yao Sect’s grand competition had always been warm and exciting, especially the first match, which attracted a lot of eyes. But, competition being warm and exciting didn’t necessarily mean only the battle between Peak Daoist Master realm experts and Half Sage realm experts. The opponents matched in strength was the most important. Therefore, the battle among Xiushi realm cultivators would also be very exciting. Usually, the first to appear on the stage would be the disciple with a slightly weaker cultivation base. Real experts would come on the stage at a later time.
Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, this cultivation base could be regarded as pretty good among the younger generation disciples, but far from matching the elite disciples of various large sects. But, the agile body and brute force of this bald fellow still received everyone’s applause.
“Not bad, this bald fellow’s strength is astonishing. Although his cultivation base couldn’t be considered tiptop, I fear he has already comprehended Cloud Spring Sect’s special technique. He can sweep though the cultivators in the same realm. Being able to train this kind of young disciple, Cloud Spring Sect really is not simple, worthy of being a veteran large sect!”
“This time, what kind of opponent would Heavenly Yao Sect send? To use violence to curb violent, would they send an even stronger expert, or send higher-ranked elite disciple?”
………………
Below the stage, the people made all sorts of comments. They were full of expectation and curious about this match.
The bald burly fellow of Cold Spring Sect demoralized his opponent by a show of strength. He was a model close combat elite, and Cold Spring Sect was also a close combat powerhouse. Thus, it gave the host Heavenly Yao Sect a difficult problem. If they sent similarly Rank 5 Daoist Master realm young disciple, then it would be very difficult to win against this bald fellow; if they sent a higher ranked, Rank 6 Daoist Master realm young disciple, then the victory would be assured, but that would be somewhat unfair and it also wouldn’t display Heavenly Yao Sect’s majestic air and style.
“Great Elder, this fellow is not simple, should we change the plan and send…”
On the platform, a personal attendant bent over and asked instruction from Elder Tianqing, hesitating to speak.
