1044 Kicked Off (1/2)
Time passed, as every disciple of the nine peaks was working hard to make use of every minute and second, refusing to relax or slack off. Every day when the sun went down, the air was always filled with unwilling sighs.
”Why does time pass so fast!”
”I haven't made much progress with my mystical Qi...”
”I'll have to work harder tonight...”
”Only four days left to decide my fate...”
”Three more days.”
”Only two days left!”
”The last day is counting down...”
The night before the last competition, Yun Yang appeared in the little fellows' rooms.
”Now that everyone is here, I'll count to ten and you will all go to sleep! Anyone who has not fallen asleep after a quarter of an hour, I'll immediately expel him or her from the sect!”
Yun Xiuxin, who was intending to organize the final sprint for her junior brothers and sisters, pouted her lips and lay helplessly in bed. A quarter of an hour later, Yun Yang floated in the air outside while listening to the smooth breathing in the rooms with a smile.
Early in the morning next day, the last competition of the nine peaks before the battle of the Celestial Luck Banner finally arrived! This was the competition that would determine the candidates for the battle. Under the attention of everyone, the competition officially kicked off.
Everyone, including the more than ten thousand children who had not yet been taken in as disciples, sat quietly in the stands. Although these children had not been cultivating for a long time, the ones with the strongest cultivation base had reached the realm of Earth Mystic! However, as the Residence of Nine Supremes had no plan of taking in new disciples now, they could only stay in the mansion for now even though they were gifted. They could only work hard, waiting for the next recruitment.
All the children knew that this competition was the most important one for their senior brothers and sisters: winners would represent the sect in the battle and seize the Celestial Luck Banner that would keep them safe for the rest of their lives!
The palms of all the disciples were warm and sweaty, and their eyes were anxious.
Which senior brothers and sisters would win?
For a long time, the Celestial Luck Banner had always existed in the legends. Perhaps, it would appear in their sect in the near future!
”No matter who wins or who goes to battle, they will always be the heroes of the Residence of Nine Supremes!”
As this sentence spread, the arena, which was full of more than ten thousand people, immediately fell into awe.
Yes, no matter who went to battle, as long as they could win, they were the heroes of the Residence of Nine Supremes!
A war drum roared.
”The disciples of the nine peaks are here!”
In the sky, ten beams of light lit up from different directions and then flew over! The Demiurge-Flawed Ten quietly appeared in front of the grandstand and then sat on the ten seats, five on the left and five on the right, according to their ranking order.
”Greetings, Masters!”
More than ten thousand children knelt and saluted them at the same time.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the nine peaks filed through the entrance. The first to enter were the disciples of Central Peak, all dressed in snow-white robes. Yun Xiuxin was at the forefront; one of her hands was on the hilt of her sword, and her little pretty face was cold and serious. Behind her were Cheng Jiajia, Hu Xiaofan, Lu Changman, and the other disciples.
After them, Sun Mingxiu came in with his junior brothers and sister, and then Bai Yexing...
The disciples of nine peaks lined up in nine directions, each on one side. The scene was like white snowflakes suddenly falling onto the verdant scenery of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
All of a sudden, an auspicious cloud appeared in the sky, accompanied by a bright light like the rising sun and a colorful glow. Dressed in his usual purple clothes, Yun Yang quietly appeared in mid-air and then flew leisurely to the seat placed in the middle.
”The Sect Leader is here!”
