Chapter 50: Zhang Nuo Enters the Arena

~7 min read 1,270 words

Early in the morning, in front of the main hall of the Divine Sword Sect, many disciples were standing. The second day of the Chief Disciple Assembly had already begun. Six groups of disciples had already finished their matches, but these six matches were not exciting at all and did not stir the interest of the disciples present in the slightest. They were all looking forward to the next match, hoping for a more exciting contest to appear.

"For the ninety-first round of the competition, Wei Tiande, a disciple under Elder Xiao, versus Zhang Nuo, a disciple under Elder Lin!"

"Wow!"

The moment the man holding the Jade Slip announced the backgrounds of the two, the disciples under Xiao Jingxuan burst into laughter. Zhang Nuo was a famous good-for-nothing in the sect; they had not expected Wei Tiande to pick up such a huge bargain. As long as he defeated him, Wei Tiande would smoothly advance to the next round of the competition.

"Junior Brother, you are so lucky! Your opponent is actually him! It seems advancing to the next round will be no problem!"

Within Xiao Jingxuan's team, an older middle-aged man said to Wei Tiande with great envy.

"Not at all! Not at all!"

While laughing, he nodded continuously at the senior brothers around him. At the same time, a cold gaze also looked toward him. This gaze belonged to Wu Min. At this moment, Wu Min looked obviously somewhat haggard, as if she had experienced some great battle yesterday. Others did not understand what was going on, but Wei Tiande knew clearly in his heart that from last night until early morning, he had not let Wu Min rest for even a moment!

"Remember your promise! Otherwise, I will not spare you!"

With her lips moving slightly, Wu Min sent a Sound Transmission to Wei Tiande.

Sound Transmission is a small spell that cultivators learn when they reach the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. It wraps the voice in Spiritual Qi and then transmits it to the ears of the designated person, so that others cannot hear their conversation.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister!"

Wei Tiande sent a Sound Transmission back as well, then his figure flashed and he leaped into the light screen.

At this time, Zhang Nuo heard his own name. He was somewhat nervous, and with a slight movement of his feet, he walked toward the light screen.

"Junior Brother! You will definitely win!"

Ye Linger shouted loudly behind Zhang Nuo. In fact, the three disciples of Lin Fan all understood in their hearts that this match would be a surprise that Zhang Nuo would bring to everyone in the Divine Sword Sect.

Only Lin Fan and the others knew Zhang Nuo's true strength. On the surface, Wei Tiande seemed to have picked up a huge bargain, but after the match was over, he would regret it so much that his intestines would turn green!

Hearing Ye Linger's shouting, the crowd looked toward her simultaneously. Some shook their heads, some sighed, and some even revealed looks of disdain. Zhang Nuo could defeat Wei Tiande? What a joke! Ignoring those people entirely, Ye Linger continued to shout loudly.

At this moment, Sect Master Sun Yiyang's Divine Sense swept toward Zhang Nuo. Suddenly, his expression became thoughtful, and his body moved, flying to Lin Fan's side.

"Junior Brother, is the Magic Treasure on Zhang Nuo's back the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case'?"

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, you are right, it is!"

Lin Fan smiled faintly. Seeing Sun Yiyang fly to his side in person, he was not surprised at all.

"Hasn't this Magic Treasure already been damaged? Why did you give him a broken Magic Treasure?"

Sun Yiyang was greatly puzzled. When Lin Fan first obtained the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case', everyone knew it was a discarded Magic Treasure that could not be used at all!

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, do you remember that I traveled for many years after forming my Golden Core?"

Nodding slightly, many people in the sect knew about Lin Fan's travels.

"My travels back then were, firstly, to temper myself, and secondly, to search for the 'Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone' to repair this sword case!"

"Did you find it?"

Sun Yiyang looked at Lin Fan in surprise. Looking at his expression, Sun Yiyang had already guessed the result!

"Hehe! Only a little bit, but it seems it is still of some help to the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case' now!"

With a light smile, Lin Fan said somewhat proudly.

"You gave the Magic Treasure to this kid?"

He felt somewhat uncomprehending in his heart; with Zhang Nuo's aptitude, using the 'Nine Dragon Sword Case' seemed like a waste!

"Senior Brother Sect Leader! Just watch! Zhang Nuo will give the whole sect a surprise!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo had already walked into the light screen, Lin Fan seemed unwilling to explain further and looked toward the competition arena. Sun Yiyang stood stunned for a long time. What kind of medicine was Lin Fan selling in his gourd? Leaving his words half-said was truly frustrating!

"Senior Brother Wei! Please!"

After Zhang Nuo walked into the light screen, he bowed to Wei Tiande.

"I say, Junior Brother Zhang, why do you carry such a large Magic Treasure all day long! Is it because your Linger Power is insufficient, and you cannot put it into your Storage Bag?"

Wei Tiande swept his Divine Sense over, but he did not feel any Linger Power fluctuations from the other party at all. Thinking it was because his cultivation was too low, he intentionally tried to embarrass Zhang Nuo. He did not hold back his words at all when speaking. Once the crowd present heard this, they immediately burst into laughter. Wasn't this clearly insulting Zhang Nuo for his low cultivation?

"Too hateful! Once you are beaten to the ground later, let's see if you can still be arrogant!"

Da Kuan and the others did not say anything, but Ye Linger was so angry she was stomping her feet, and she kept cursing. Sun Yiyang, standing beside Lin Fan, was even more puzzled. Listening to the little girl's meaning, it seemed as if Zhang Nuo would definitely win.

A faint smile appeared on Zhang Nuo's face, and he did not get angry at all. Years of closed-door cultivation had smoothed out many of the sharp edges in his personality. Now, the phrase "unmoved by favor or humiliation" suited him perfectly.

"Senior Brother Wei! Let's begin!"

Zhang Nuo's figure did not move, his hands hung down naturally, and his eyes looked at Wei Tiande full of smiles.

"Good kid!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was neither angry nor upset, it actually angered Wei Tiande to death. The other party treating him so calmly clearly meant he did not take him seriously.

"This child's composure is far beyond that of ordinary people. To be humiliated in front of so many people, yet still remain calm! If his aptitude were a bit more outstanding, he would definitely achieve great things in the future!"

Xiao Jingxuan thought to herself.

"Swish!"

A soft sound came from the arena. Wei Tiande slapped his Storage Bag with one hand, and a strange Flying Sword appeared before everyone's eyes. This Flying Sword was over a foot long and had two sword tips, and these two tips were red and white respectively, looking as if they had grown out of the sword body.

Seeing the other party reveal his Magic Treasure, Zhang Nuo still did not move, standing in place in a T-stance, waiting for Wei Tiande to attack.
