Chapter 144 - 141: Encounter in the Back Mountain
The competition that shook the Heavenly Martial Hall continued to cause aftershocks even after it ended. The disciples who had witnessed the exciting battle firsthand were still enthralled, while those who missed it felt a tremendous sense of regret, knowing without a doubt that the battle was an extremely rare and fierce one.
What everyone thought was merely a contest between True Disciples suddenly saw Ye Xuan and Wan Luo stepping into the fray. After Ye Xuan defeated Wan Luo, everyone believed the fight had concluded. However, Ye Xuan sparked even greater waves by defeating Ruan Jingtian and Xiang Fanchen together. Such a luxurious lineup, capable of sweeping through all the Inner Hall Disciples, still fell under Ye Xuan’s sword.
This series of unexpected twists caught everyone off guard and, at the same time, filled them with excitement. The brutal scene of Ye Xuan fighting two at once not only made people’s scalp tingle but also got their blood boiling uncontrollably.
That battle would undoubtedly become a classic among the contests of this generation of disciples.
As for Ye Xuan himself, he was just a new disciple who had joined less than two months ago. His brilliant achievements undoubtedly served as a great inspiration for the many new disciples with lesser cultivation.
After this battle, Ye Xuan’s reputation was firmly established within the Heavenly Martial Hall. His brilliance rivaled the four great True Disciples, and his prestige grew daily.
Similar contests between disciples were a daily occurrence in the Heavenly Martial Hall, but a splendid battle like that day was likely hard to come by again. Even three days later, many disciples were still talking about Ye Xuan, the fervor of their discussions showing no signs of abating anytime soon.
In those three days, Ye Xuan had taken some time to recuperate before starting to focus his cultivation on his Cultivation, using the fifteen hundred Xuanyuan Pills with the goal of making an early breakthrough to the Martial Sect level.
During these three days of Ye Xuan’s recuperation, the Yang Hall remained in an extremely fiery state. Many disciples seemed prouder than ever, walking with their chests puffed up and their eyes no longer shying away when looking at disciples from the other three halls. After all, the leading disciples of the other three halls had already been defeated by Ye Xuan, so it was only logical they felt this newfound confidence.
At present, only the four great True Disciples could overshadow Ye Xuan, and the disciples of Yang Hall believed that with Ye Xuan’s talent, making a breakthrough and becoming a True Disciple wouldn’t be too far-fetched.
