Chapter 24: Get Off the Platform, Admit Defeat

Suddenly, a low humming sound rose from the Outer Sect Plaza, and the originally closed formation was opened.

A flying boat hovered in midair, exuding a faint sense of oppression.

Several Outer Sect Elders responsible for overseeing the match looked uneasy: "Who is this? How dare they act so arrogantly, interrupting the Outer Sect match midway? Aren't they afraid of violating sect rules?"

"Perhaps it's the illegitimate child of some influential elder among this term's Outer Sect disciples; once discovered by the Law Enforcement Hall, the consequences would be unthinkable..."

However, before they finished speaking, the figures appearing on the flying boat had already entered the eyes of the Outer Sect Elders present.

Everyone chose to remain silent.

Especially the two who had just spoken, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and their bodies trembled slightly.

This is none other than the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall personally arriving, along with Wu Lao, the top expert of the Profound Yang Sect!

And the former Core Elder, Qi Tai!

Shouldn't he be stationed at Leize?

Could his charges have been cleared?

But... when these three appeared on the plaza, all the Outer Sect Elders broke out in a sweat.

The three of them could easily decide the match's winner, or even directly appoint a true transmission disciple, without difficulty.

After all, the Vice Hall Master of the Punishment Hall is present, along with Wu Lao, an invincible grand master; rumor has it he can fight Lin Wu Ren to a draw after a hundred moves!

Who would dare provoke them?

Everyone couldn't help but wonder which disciple was hiding so deeply, having connections with all three of them.

Elder Qi had not left Leize for even a step in many years.

At this moment, Wu Lao led a group of Inner Sect disciples toward the stands; the Outer Sect Grand Elder seated in the front row immediately rose and performed a respectful salute.

"Greetings to the three uncles, uncles please take your seats."

"Today... I don't know what wind blew the three uncles here, adding much luster to today's Outer Sect affairs."

The Outer Sect Grand Elder was rotund; at this moment the flesh on his face was all scrunched together.

"It's fine, just came to take a look."

Wu Lao's gaze was sharp, his tone flat.

The three exchanged a glance, then sat down. The dozen or so Inner Sect disciples originally on the plaza placed the previously talkative person on a chair, then exchanged bitter smiles.

Even when the Outer Sect Elders tried to converse with them, they dared not speak much.

At this moment... the disciples beneath the fighting platform, seeing this scene, felt their blood boil, as the Core Elder and the Hall Master had personally come to the match.

If they could catch the eyes of these experts, they could rise to heaven in a single step.

Chu Jiang's face also flushed slightly at this moment, his heart excited.

He clenched his fists, hidden within his sleeves.

"The arrival of these three sect experts must be intentional to recruit disciples; if I can strongly seize first place, I might even... become their disciple!"

Because experts of this level would not come to the Outer Sect to watch the Body Tempering and Foundation Establishment disciples' matches for no reason.

There must be a reason.

He must seize this opportunity!

On the other side, Jiang Hai and several other Foundation Establishment Second Layer disciples also had solemn expressions: "This is our opportunity; seize it, and we will rise to prominence!"

"First, find a way to deal with Chu Jiang; we are roughly equal in strength, and without him, the three elders selecting candidates would more likely choose from among us, greatly increasing our chances!"

Several nodded, their eyes flashing with determined light.

First, deal with Chu Jiang!

But... Zhang Wu and the others watching from the side were dumbstruck.

These three elders, for the purpose of recruiting disciples, actually came directly to the Outer Sect match.

Their hearts surged with excitement; indeed, their guess was correct!

Qin Yu's importance might be greater than they imagined.

From now on, as long as we closely follow Brother Yu's steps, the future will surely be bright!

But upon hearing Chu Jiang and Jiang Hai's words, I couldn't help feeling amused.

They... actually thought these three were here to seek disciples?

Immediately, their gazes all turned to the fighting platform.

When Qin Yu stepped onto the fighting platform and saw a Foundation Establishment First Layer disciple, he clasped his fists in salute and announced his name: "Qin Yu."

But the Foundation Establishment First Layer disciple furrowed his brow slightly.

"It's you? Really unlucky; it seems my senior brother wasted his spirit stones."

"We met in the first round."

"Just admit defeat and get off the platform."

He had also been by Chu Jiang's side before, knowing Qin Yu was a little follower behind Zhang Wu.

He felt somewhat helpless.

Let this kid in front of him pick up fifty spirit stones for nothing.

Qin Yu slightly raised his head, looked directly at the Outer Sect Steward, and asked: "Can we begin?"

The steward nodded: "Both sides ready."

The Foundation Establishment First Layer disciple was somewhat surprised, angrily sending a mental transmission: "You've already taken spirit stones, yet you still want to consume my qi and blood?"

"Hurry up and get off!"

Qin Yu slightly raised his head and calmly said: "Since I've taken something, I will naturally see it through; do I need you to instruct me?"

His qi and blood flowed slowly along the meridians, covering the surface.

"Since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish—don't even think about cultivating for half a year."

The Foundation Establishment disciple's face sank, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes.

Meeting him, it was already a sure loss, yet he still wanted to challenge?

Spiritual energy was infused into the long saber in his hand, and a pale blue light flickered.

「Start! 」

The steward's words fell.

Qin Yu was like a cannonball leaving the barrel, extremely fast, hard to catch with the naked eye.

Seeing this, the Foundation Establishment disciple felt horrified; this speed…… how could it be so fast?

He drew his long saber, intending to block.

「Boom! 」

Qin Yu clenched his right fist and suddenly struck out.

The fist wind howled, an explosive sound rang in the air, blasting the saber's blade, which suddenly snapped.

The Foundation Establishment disciple felt intense pain in his abdomen, his whole body nearly fainting, his eyes bulging, bloodshot.

「Thud. 」

He wanted to resist, but he fell straight onto the platform, emitting a dull sound and kicking up clouds of dust.

「Number 36, Qin Yu wins! 」

Everyone was stunned.

Chu Jiang's gaze also froze.

「How could my junior brother lose? 」

「How is this possible? That person is only at the peak of Body Tempering. 」

「How is this possible? 」

Then, he brought a group of disciples, instantly arriving on the platform, narrowing his eyes, a dangerous aura surging, and directly sent a voice transmission saying.

「I remember you, you're the one who followed behind Zhang Wu; you've already taken the spirit stones, why still make a move? 」

Qin Yu glanced, then slowly stepped down from the platform, responding: 「I did indeed take your spirit stones, but what you asked for was only to go all-out against them; you never said we couldn't act against you, right? 」

「Disperse, anyone threatening outside the arena violates sect rules and will be slain! 」 the steward shouted coldly.

Chu Jiang was on good terms with many stewards outside, and he also had a faint connection with him.

Normally, he would surely turn a blind eye, but now…… this is a Body Tempering Ninth Layer genius who overcomes Foundation Establishment!

His future achievements are not merely those of an inner sect disciple.

If he grows smoothly, he could even become an elder-level figure!

Naturally, they could not let Chu Jiang run amok.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang forcibly suppressed his anger, because what the other said was indeed not problematic.

「Good! You and Zhang Wu are both excellent! 」

「I hope you can keep your promise! 」

If the opponent truly goes all-out against Jiang Hai and them, they could also inflict some damage.

Naturally, it's impossible to turn hostile during the match; they immediately took their people and left directly.

But…… at this moment, Jiang Hai and the others were somewhat dazed, but more so delighted.

Holy shit!

This is too fierce, right?

He directly first took care of one of Chu Jiang's nearby Foundation Establishment disciples.

「Quick, send someone! Immediately send someone to deliver another three hundred spirit stones; as long as he keeps acting against Chu Jiang and them, afterward we promise to give him five hundred spirit stones! 」

This undoubtedly eased their pressure.
