Chapter 191

Next, Di Qingye, Ling Huya, Nan Feiyan, and Wanqi Wujian will compete for seventh to tenth place.

And Yuan Yao, Ying Wuji, Song Yan, Xiao Lingwei, Xue Jin, and Xiao Zhufeng will then compete for the top six places.

Yuan Yao drew lots and got her own eldest senior brother, Song Yan.

Ying Wuji faces Xiao Lingwei.

Xue Jin faces Xiao Zhufeng.

…

Yuan Yao and her eldest senior brother stepped onto the stage; at the moment their gazes met, Yuan Yao couldn't help but chuckle.

A hint of helplessness appeared on Song Yan's handsome face; he composed himself and gave a light cough.

Yuan Yao said, "Eldest senior brother, you can't go easy on me."

Song Yan: "... Okay."

"Then please draw your sword, eldest senior brother!" Yuan Yao conjured a Phantom Spirit Sword in her hand, wiped away her smile, and fixed her gaze on Song Yan with determination.

As Song Yan raised his hand, a long sword appeared in his palm.

"Junior sister, please."

In an instant, two sword winds rose on the stage.

The swords clashed!

The sword techniques they used were almost identical, and each was familiar with the other's way of drawing the sword.

Snowflakes, seas of fire, cold tides, and raging winds arose along with the sword dance.

It gave an extreme visual impact.

The scene was exquisitely beautiful, making it impossible to tell that the two on the stage were competing rather than joining hands and sparring.

Yuan Yao moved her form, flashing above Song Yan's head; her Phantom Spirit Sword, like a swimming dragon, lunged at him!

Song Yan stared straight ahead, raising his sword in one motion to block Yuan Yao's attack.

"Junior sister, Thousand Mountains Myriad Laws Sword."

His voice was warm and smooth.

Yuan Yao raised her eyebrows, instantly switched her sword form, and used the Thousand Mountains Myriad Laws Sword created by her own master to deal with her eldest senior brother.

"Don't be impatient." Song Yan gave a light laugh.

The more the crowd watched, the more suspicious it seemed; these two senior brothers and sisters must be practicing swordplay, right?!

Yuan Yao's swordsmanship was superb; each move was fast, fierce, and precise, repeatedly forcing Song Yan to retreat and defend.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Song Yan pressed his long sword against the side of Yuan Yao's neck.

"I lost." Yuan Yao first lowered her gaze to glance, her smile blooming like a flower.

Although the match should be taken seriously, she knew that she and her eldest senior brother would not reveal all their trump cards just to defeat each other.

Nor would they inflict heavy injury on each other at such a moment.

Moreover, she also had self-awareness.

She certainly could not beat her eldest senior brother now.

But who knows what the future holds?

"Thank you, junior sister, for yielding." Song Yan sheathed his sword and clasped his hands.

Yuan Yao slung the Phantom Spirit Sword behind her back, waved her hand broadly, and said, "No need for courtesy."

Immediately afterward, the two contestants for the next match leading to the finals were Ying Wuji and Xiao Lingwei.

As soon as the match began, Xiao Lingwei spoke up and conceded defeat.

Meanwhile, Xue Jin faced Xiao Zhufeng, and the victor was Xiao Zhufeng.

Those who made it into the top three of the disciple rankings were Song Yan, Ying Wuji, and Xiao Zhufeng.

Afterwards, the three faced off in pairwise duels.

Song Yan faced Ying Wuji, and Ying Wuji won.

Song Yan faced Xiao Zhufeng, and Xiao Zhufeng won.

The final match was Ying Wuji versus Xiao Zhufeng; their duel was so exciting that the crowd couldn't tear their eyes away.

Although Xiao Zhufeng's cultivation was one minor realm lower than Ying Wuji's, his strength was solid enough to fight above his level!

Both are sword cultivators!

After just a few exchanges, the stage was already shattered into pieces!

Seeing this, the referee hurriedly called a halt.

Immediately, Fan Quan Immortal Venerable exercised his divine powers, sending the two into a special mustard-seed space.

Within the mustard-seed space, the two contestants could fully unleash the techniques they had learned without worrying about affecting the surroundings.

And the reason for doing this is that only by letting them completely set aside their concerns and fight without reservation can we truly see who is superior and thus become the undisputed top of the disciple rankings!

Once inside the mustard-seed space, the two indeed fought even more fiercely.

Each sword strike was capable of splitting mountains and rivers.

One white and one green figure flickered back and forth, sword qi distorting space.

The more the crowd watched, the more excited they became, unable to help discussing: "Who will ultimately be this year's top disciple?"

"I guess it's Xiao Zhufeng!"

"No, it's Ying Wuji!"

"Zhufeng Zhufeng, no one can match him!"

"Wuji Wuji, number one under heaven!"

Young disciples in the audience began to shout, their volume growing louder.
