Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 82: Killing by leaps and bounds! Sword Servant Ye Chen!
The first battle lasted less than 10 minutes.

At this moment, the large arena of thousands of square meters was empty, with only five people standing on it.

Without exception, all those standing had defeated more than 10 opponents.

And Ye Chen’s figure carrying a long sword was also among them.

"Brother Chen, that's awesome!" Li Feng excitedly said to the people around him, "See, I was right, Brother Chen won!"

The audience around naturally also saw Ye Chen's performance.

It has to be said that anyone who can stay until the end is definitely the best in this round of competition.

Ye Chen's Xuanbing swordsmanship was extremely sharp and every move was deadly. He defeated twelve contestants in the first round and stood firmly to the end.

"This is Ye Chen, he is indeed very strong, and he is definitely good among the nine academies of the same period!"

"Amazing! Is this the Sword Servant? He is only at the 7th level of Qi training, but he seemed to have killed someone at the 8th level of Qi training just now?"

"Sword cultivators are indeed the most powerful profession. This person is not even a true sword cultivator, but he can actually leapfrog!"

"..."

Many viewers witnessed with their own eyes how exaggerated the sword cultivator's killing power was, and also recognized Ye Chen's strength.

Hearing everyone's praise, Li Feng's face was filled with pride, and he even looked at Zhu Hongyuan's table provocatively and said:

"Brother Chen was born in a humble family but he was able to fight his way up. He trampled all those second-generation immortals under his feet. Now he is the immortal seedling that Qingshan Sect has high hopes for!"

Old Hu and others, who had been able to tolerate it, suddenly became unhappy.

The third son slapped the table, stood up, pointed at him and said:

"Li Feng, what do you mean? No matter how powerful Ye Chen is, what does it have to do with you?"

Old Hu also snorted coldly:

"That's right. Besides! When did the immortal seedling that Qingshan Sect placed high hopes on become Ye Chen? Wasn't it Chu Wange and Lin Mo?"

Perhaps because the sound was quite loud, freshmen from the surrounding academies cast curious glances at him.

The headlines of "Nanshan Fairy Couple" have been on the hot searches in Qinzhou several times.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the names of Chu Wange and Lin Mo are known throughout Qinzhou, but they are definitely well-known among the new students on the nine levels of the Enlightenment Cliff this year.

Now everyone knows that there was a "fairy couple" in Nanshan No. 4 Middle School in Xichuan Province. Not only did they make it into the top ten of the Immortal List together, they also entered the Qingshan Sect together.

When Li Feng heard this, he showed a disdainful expression:
"Forget about Chu Wange, but how can a gigolo like Lin Mo be called a top genius?!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around him.

You have to know that there is a natural gap in status between the students of the nine academies and them. What's more, Lin Mo is in the top ten of the Immortal List and is one of the top geniuses among the freshmen of the nine academies.

Now, someone actually dares to slander him openly. Isn’t he afraid of creating karmic consequences with the other party?
They all looked at Li Feng, wanting to know why he was so brave!

At this time, Zhu Hongyuan, who had never been able to make a move, frowned and said, "Li Feng, if you don't understand, don't say anything!"

"I've been in the same class with Lin Mo for three years, don't I understand?"

Li Feng sneered, not paying attention to his warning, and continued,
"He is just a person with five mixed spiritual roots! If he hadn't gotten close to Chu Wange, he wouldn't even be qualified to take part in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination, let alone enter the top ten of the Immortal Ranking!"

Hearing this, the audience around were stunned.

"Five elements of mixed spiritual roots? Not really?"

"You must be kidding! I'm more qualified than this!"

"This guy has lost his mind. How can the top ten on the Immortal Ranking be people with mixed five-element spiritual roots?"

"Stop bragging, buddy. If Lin Mo hears this by accident, you'd better be careful. He is the immortal seedling of Qingshan Sect!"

"..."

Li Feng was even more disdainful when he heard the admonitions from the people around him, and he said directly:
"I don't want to waste my time talking to you. You have no idea how strong Brother Chen is! I'll just tell you one thing. In the three years at Nanshan Middle School, Lin Mo has never beaten him!"

At this point, he looked at Ye Chen in the mirror flower and water moon, with admiration in his eyes:
"And Brother Chen has already told me that he will choose to challenge Lin Mo in the second stage. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

Seeing his confident tone, the people around him who had originally refuted him suddenly showed hesitant expressions. Could it be that what he said was true?
Everyone was puzzled and for a moment they were stunned by Li Feng's performance.

Soon, some people started reading the news on Lingji.

"Fuck, this guy named Lin Mo is so handsome!"

With an exclamation, everyone's attention was diverted.

"Let me see, hey! She's really pretty, not inferior to me!"

"Pfft! Dude, stop bragging. If you were half as handsome as him, you wouldn't still be on the lower six floors."

"Hahaha, that's right! If you have the confidence, you can also find a number one scholar on the Immortal Ranking."

"You guys know nothing. I make a living by my ability, not my looks."

"..."

As everyone started talking, the topic quickly changed from "Is Lin Mo a gigolo?" to "How did Lin Mo get this gigolo?" and "One hundred and eight techniques for being a gigolo"...

As for Zhu Hongyuan, he frowned slightly, but he didn't know how to defend him.

To be honest, neither he nor Lao Hu and others are actually familiar with Lin Mo.

And it was just as Li Feng said, one month before the immortal examination, they had never heard of such an immortal seedling in Nanshan.

The other party suddenly appeared because of some rumors about Chu Wange.

Then it was revealed that Lin Mo participated in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Examination and even achieved a good result in the top ten of the Immortal Ranking...

All this happened too suddenly. Not to mention them, even Lin Mo's class teacher, Lao Li, might not know what was going on.

Li Feng was so confident, could it be that he really knew some secret that they didn't know?
Zhu Hongyuan sighed. No matter what, this matter was not something he could control.

"The first round is over. Those who have successfully advanced are: Tang Lei, Ye Chen, Qi Tianlei, Li Yuankai, and You Mengfei!"

As the host announced, the first battle came to an end.

The few who successfully advanced sat in the substitute seats next to the ring and temporarily became spectators.

"Next, please welcome the second round of contestants!"

The mirror flower and water moon soon flashed with new rune lights, and new contestants appeared on the stage again, starting a new round of battle...

……

……

In the nine-story bamboo building courtyard of Wudaotai, mirror flowers and water moons are on the wall in the center of the courtyard.

The leaders of the nine academies also gathered in one courtyard, watching the freshman competition with great interest.

Senior Brother Li from the Ghost Sect put one hand on his throat and held a Taoist talisman in the other hand. After announcing the opening of the second game, his consciousness withdrew from the space in an instant.

He looked at the scene in front of him, and smiled at Senior Brother He who was sitting next to him:
"Brother He has picked a good candidate. This Ye Chen can fight his way out of a crowd of hundreds of people with his Qi training level 7. This is truly extraordinary!"

Senior Brother He smiled and said modestly:

"Ye Chen is indeed okay. Although his talent is a little ordinary, his good fortune makes up for his lack of talent. He is just a little outspoken."

"I'm barely qualified to be Senior Brother He Lian's swordsman."

If Li Feng and others heard this, they would be surprised. It turns out that Ye Chen is not Senior Brother He's sword servant, but someone else is his sword master.

However, the leaders around were not surprised by this.

It is common for almost every sword cultivator to have three to five sword servants, and some may even have more than ten or twenty sword servants.

Senior Brother He himself is actually also a sword servant.

Although the killing power of a sword servant is slightly inferior to that of a true sword cultivator, it is much stronger than most magic cultivators.

Therefore, Sword Servant became one of the best choices for many cultivators who possessed golden spiritual roots but whose purity was insufficient. This was not a rare thing in Qingshan Sect, which was famous for its sword cultivation.
