Chapter 45 A Shout of 10
Within the arena.
At this moment, the top ten of the Qiandi Dao Sect's sect-wide competition had just been determined.
The ten disciples who had claimed the top ten spots, eight males and two females, were all beings of the Nascent Soul Realm.
All ten faced off against each other.
Each of them wanted to fight for the number one spot.
Their power was nearly the same.
Therefore, any one of them could potentially take the first position.
It was normal for their fighting spirits to be high.
Just as these ten disciples were ready to start the battle for the first place,
An elder, standing atop a flying sword, stopped midair, gazing at the ten disciples.
"The battle for the first place is temporarily halted. We now have a distinguished guest who wishes to join the sect-wide competition midway. You will go from ten people to eleven, vying for the first place together!"
"Please do not doubt the fairness of the sect-wide competition. This last-minute guest is also among the younger generation and is younger than all of you."
"I hope you do not disgrace the Qiandi Dao Sect."
The elder's voice was like a great bell.
It resonated throughout the entire arena, both inside and outside.
Not only were the disciples shocked.
But the many sect representatives who had come to attend were also astonished.
The Qiandi Dao Sect was actually allowing an outsider to join the sect-wide competition at the last moment...
This had never happened before.
Now, the Qiandi Dao Sect had made an exception!
What shocked the many sect representatives wasn't the fact that the Qiandi Dao Sect made an exception.
It was the reason why the Qiandi Dao Sect made an exception!
To be honest, across the entire East State,
There wasn't a single sect that could make the Qiandi Dao Sect take them seriously.
Not before!
But now there was one! That was the Hidden Sect, the Wayless Sect!
Perhaps only the Wayless Sect could prompt the Qiandi Dao Sect to make such an exception.
The Hidden Sect was finally going to reveal itself to the world.
The breath of the many sect representatives grew heavier, as they all stood up, no longer sitting, their eyes firmly fixed in the direction of the arena.
...
Inside the arena.
Before the eyes of the ten disciples,
Ye Luo walked slowly from one side of the arena corridor, wearing an Azure Crane Cloud Robe and holding a long sword.
His arrival seemed to carry an invisible aura that bound those ten disciples.
Especially Ye Luo's eyes, which were filled with a sense of oppression, making those who met his gaze feel as if they were looking at the heavens and earth itself.
Void.
Insiginificant.
These two feelings emerged in the hearts of others.
In the midst of the astonished gaze of the ten disciples,
The elder on the flying sword landed beside Ye Luo.
"Young Friend Ye, the rules of the competition are such that you draw lots to pick your opponent, compete in a one-on-one elimination, with the victor continuing to battle other winners until the first place emerges."
"The one who achieves first place will receive many rewards, as well as a challenge right."
"Regarding this challenge right, let me explain it to you this way, Young Friend Ye. Suppose you are an Inner Sect Disciple and you win the first place, you may choose to challenge a Direct Disciple of an Elder. If you succeed in the challenge, you can then select an Elder to be your Direct Master."
"If you choose to challenge a Deacon and succeed, then you can become a Deacon. Of course, if you dare to challenge the Sect Master and succeed, then the position of Sect Master is yours, haha."
The Elder spoke with what seemed like jest.
The speaker might not have intended much, but the listener took it to heart.
After listening, Ye Luo was startled for a moment, but soon understood.
A challenge right?
Wasn't this prepared for him to step on the Qiandi Dao Sect?
Seeing that Ye Luo did not reply, the elder did not mind and continued to laugh, "However, this challenge right is definitely useless to you, Young Friend Ye. Alright, Young Friend Ye, whom would you like to challenge first? I can fix the draw for you."
Fix the draw?
Ye Luo looked up and scanned the ten disciples.
Nascent Soul Realm? Far too weak.
```
No need for any underhanded maneuvers.
If his master knew, Ye Luo would have to face each of the ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators one by one.
His master might just slap him to death for this.
"Elder, there's no need for that, I'll only make one move. Let these ten disciples come at me together. If they can withstand my single strike, then consider me defeated."
Ye Luo shook his head and spoke softly.
"Pfft... Young Friend Ye, are you joking? Have these ten disciples come at you together?"
The elder was stunned for a moment, somewhat bewildered with a strange expression on his face.
"You heard me right. Let these ten disciples bring out their best skills and come at me together."
Ye Luo waved his hand nonchalantly with an air of arrogance.
The elder's expression changed again and again.
If he didn't agree, it could offend the Hidden Sect.
But if he agreed, no matter whether Ye Luo could defeat the ten disciples with a single strike or not, it wouldn't be good.
If they were truly defeated by a single strike, then their Qiandi Dao Sect's reputation would be in tatters.
The elite ten disciples of the Holy Ground of the Eastern State would all be demolished by one move.
But if Ye Luo lost, their relationship with the Hidden Sect would become awkward.
The cause and effect within this were extremely complicated.
The elder thought for a long time.
In the end, he could only sigh.
"Please wait a moment, Young Friend Ye. I will consult with the Great Elder and the Sect Master."
The elder bowed slightly and flew towards the Great Elder's location on his flying sword.
Seeing this scene.
Ye Luo was not in a hurry. He closed his eyes and stood there, letting the breeze touch his face, standing firm and unyielding.
A profoundly mysterious aura emanated from him.
The ten disciples standing beside him looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
After a while.
The elder returned, nodding slightly at Ye Luo, but seeing Ye Luo's closed eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched and he turned to the crowd and began to speak slowly.
"Due to this esteemed guest's request!"
"The rules of our sect's grand competition have been changed, with our sect's top ten disciples competing against this guest!"
"This guest has profound cultivation levels. The top ten disciples must remember to take care and must bring out their full capabilities!"
"If the top ten disciples can defeat the guest, each will receive the rewards and the right to challenge for the first place. If the guest wins, then he will be declared the first place winner of this sect's grand competition!"
The voice of the elder spread throughout the arena, both inside and outside.
Everyone heard it.
After hearing it.
They were undoubtedly even more shocked.
Now discussions began to ensue.
"The Qiandi Dao Sect is changing the rules again and again..."
"We've underestimated the influence of the Hidden Sect, but this person from the Hidden Sect really has an exceptional presence."
"Tsk tsk, now the Qiandi Dao Sect can't back down. If they win, it's nothing to brag about; if they lose, it will be spectacular."
Ignoring the discussions of these people.
Inside the arena.
Various formations were reactivated.
Signaling that the competition had begun.
One against ten.
Ye Luo slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze fell upon the ten disciples whose faces bore peculiar expressions.
Inwardly, he sighed to himself.
Ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators...
No matter how you looked at it, he was bullying them.
Whose fault was that?
Only the fault of these ten disciples.
How could you only be at the Nascent Soul Realm, really a bunch of weaklings...
