Chapter 149 – Ten Thousand Attention
The center square of the Cangfeng Xuanfu’s Outer Mansion covered a large area, and usually, there would be a large number of Outer Mansion disciples sparring here and attracting more onlookers, and all types of Outer Mansion’s Xuanpower Competitions would also be held in this square.
And today, the entire square was dozens of times more lively than usual, the surroundings of the center high platform were densely packed with people, more than 50,000 Outer House disciples, more than 80% of them were actually gathered here, surrounding the center area, and they looked at the high platform with their heads turned up, waiting for the arrival of the main protagonist of the day.
Today was the day of Yun Che and Murong Yi’s appointment.
However, the protagonist in the hearts of these Outer Mansion disciples was definitely not Yun Che, but rather Murong Yi, and most of these Outer Mansion disciples had arrived in order to catch a glimpse of the Inner Mansion disciples. As for Yun Che, he had always existed in the form of a laughing stock in the oral tradition of the outer house disciples for these three months.
Originally, the fact that a disciple who had just entered the mansion had challenged an Inner Mansion disciple out of his own will was not worthy of attracting so much attention, but the key was that this appointment had actually startled the Deputy Mansion Master Qin Wushan, and Qin Wushan had personally become a witness to this appointment, so in this way, it was impossible not to trigger the attention of the entire Xuan Mansion.
It was getting closer and closer to the scheduled time, and there was less than a quarter of an hour to go, but neither Yun Che nor Murong Yi had shown up. At this time, a commotion suddenly appeared to the east of the square, and bursts of shouts came from the area.
“Quickly look! It’s Mistress Qin, Mistress Qin has come!”
The crowd parted and a group of people walked slowly. The middle-aged man at the head was dressed in a purple robe, his face was kind and gentle, and he carried an air of awe between his hands and feet, it was none other than Cangfeng Xuanfu’s Deputy Mansion Master Qin WuXian, on his side was a smiling Qin WuYou, and behind him over followed a few Elders and Outer Mansion’s tutors.
Qin WuXian and the others sat down in a pavilion not far from the high platform, their gazes blandly gazing at the unoccupied high platform. The surrounding disciples subconsciously stepped back, their gazes towards the pavilion filled with admiration.
“House Master Qin has really come!”
“Nonsense, what kind of person is Mansion Master Qin, of course he’s a man of his word.”
“But why would Mansion Master Qin agree to personally witness such an appointment? The gap between Yun Che and Senior Murong is an entire great realm, even if three months have passed, it is unlikely that this gap would have been narrowed by much, and it might even be further away, and the outcome of the engagement is something that even a fool could think of ……”
“The thoughts of Mistress Qin are certainly not something we can ponder over, or maybe Mistress Qin is just on a whim ……”
After Qin Wuhuang’s arrival and a good while later, Murong Yi and Yun Che still both did not appear. There were still the last few minutes before the appointment time, and the chatter in the square was getting louder and louder, when a large burst of exclamations came from the northern part of the square.
“Murong Yi! Murong Yi is here!”
Under the gaze of countless disciples filled with excitement, Murong Yi finally appeared, and beside him, he was also followed side by side by a man dressed in full white, the man’s face was handsome with a sinister look, a pair of eyes were half-squinted, and his gaze was diffuse and chilly.
“Quickly look at the man beside Murong Yi! That’s Feng Baiyi, the thirty-sixth in the Tian Xuan Ranking!”
“Wow! Thirty-sixth place?” The shrieks of the Outer Mansion disciples instantly rose a few notches higher.
The arrival of Murong Yi and Feng Baiyi caused the outer house disciples that crowded the square to completely stir, the vast majority of the outer house disciples came over to crowd the pile of people just so that they could see the legendary inner house disciples with their own eyes, and each of them bucked their toes high with burning eyes.
“Cousin, this time, we must teach Yun Che a good lesson, it’s best to beat him until he’s crippled! I’ve been enduring that breath last time for three whole months!”
Murong Night in the crowd squeezed for half a day before rushing to Murong Yi’s side, gritting his teeth.
“Don’t worry, a little rat who doesn’t know the heights of heaven is just a little rat, I’ll let him be round or flat. If you want to personally take out your anger yourself, humph,” Murong Yi sneered disdainfully, “After stomping him down, I will give him to you to dispose of …… Instead, he also said before that if he loses, he will be at my disposal.”
“Hehehe,” Murong Night rubbed his hands together with an expression of impatience, “Cousin, then I’ll be waiting for you to beat him ruthlessly into a dead dog. For the next three days, wherever you want to go and play, cousin just ask.”
“Just stepping on a grasshopper that sought death on its own, do you need to take it so seriously?” Feng Bai Yi yawned and said with a lazy and uninterested face.
Murong Yi glanced at the high stage and said with a cold snort, “That Yun Che hasn’t come yet?”
“Not yet.” Murong Night hurriedly said, then sneered coldly, “I guess he doesn’t dare to come at all.”
As soon as his words fell, the crowd in the distance suddenly burst into an uproar. Feng Baiyi’s eyes narrowed and he laughed sarcastically, “Phew, actually came.”
Wearing a white practice outfit, Yun Che arrived almost at the same time as Murong Yi, but with the noise of the crowd and his very low-profile walk in, coupled with the fact that not many people had seen him before, he wasn’t even recognized for half a day in the middle of the crowd. It wasn’t until he managed to squeeze into the center area and walked up to the high platform without slowing down that people’s gazes shifted to him.
Yun Che stood on the high platform, his gaze swept below, and at a glance, he saw Qin Wouxian and Qin Wuyou in the pavilion not far away, and after a short pause, his gaze landed on an inconspicuous corner at the back of the crowd, where Lan Xue Ruo was standing quietly, her gaze looking at this place with concern and nervousness, and when she touched his gaze, Lan Xue Ruo first smiled slightly, and then couldn’t help but think of a scene from before, and with her cheeks reddening, she quietly lowered her head to a small square. …… Until now, her brain is still in a dizzy state, she doesn’t even understand, being treated and violated by him suddenly like that, her own heart, surprisingly, there is not half a bit of rejection that should be there ……
“Hm? True Xuan Realm Level 2?” Murong Yi glanced at Yun Che on the stage, and with a single glance, he was able to tell his Xuan power level at this time.
“What …… what? True Xuan Realm Level 2? That can’t be possible! Three months ago, he was still just at the Entry Xuan Realm!” Murong Night said with wide eyes.
Feng Baiyi smirked. “Che, a slightly fatter grasshopper is still a grasshopper, if Brother Murong wants to stomp on him, one little finger is enough. But if I were Brother Murong, tsk tsk, I would have a good time before stomping him to death completely, you know, there aren’t many grasshoppers in this world who are so stupid in their brains that they want to seek their own abuse.”
“I will make him remember today forever.” Murong Yi coldly snorted, and with a sudden point of his foot, his body rose up in the air like a large bird, leaping across a distance of dozens of feet in a single leap, and landing steadily on top of the high platform, standing in front of Yun Che.
“Wow!!!”
This time Murong Yi’s soaring into the air instantly triggered a gasp of surprise from the entire audience, and most of the Outer Mansion disciples had their mouths wide open as they looked at Murong Yi with faces of adoration and envy, fantasizing about the day when they too could reach such a realm.
“Worthy of being an Inner Mansion disciple, spanning nearly thirty feet across the sky! Alas, I guess I have no hope until I’m twenty.”
“That one in white is Yun Che? Tsk tsk, looking so fine and tender, how does he look like a Xuan Master, he’s a living little white boy, how dare such goods challenge Murong Yi? I can even take him down with one punch.”
On the stage, Murong Yi and Yun Che stood opposite each other, Murong Yi was tall, with tanned skin, his exposed muscles bulging out, and at a glance, he knew that he was full of explosive power. On the contrary, Yun Che, slender figure, skin fine and glossy, which has half a bit of aggressiveness, say white boy are polite, simply half a pussy.
“How many moves do you guess Murong Yi needs to step on this Yun Che? I guess three moves and it’s a dog.”
“What? Three moves? You’re simply insulting the Inner House disciples! If Murong Yi was casually serious, one move …… would be completely enough!”
In the pavilion not far from the high platform, Qin WuXian had a smile on his face and seemed to be looking forward to the next encounter, as he said to Qin WuYou by his side with a sideways glance, “Raising two levels in three months, not bad not bad. But Murong Yi is a True Xuan Grade 9, and three months have passed, his Xuan Power has also increased drastically, and he’s not far from rising to Grade 10, Wuyou, do you think Yun Che has the possibility of defeating Murong Yi?”
“This ……,” Qin Wuyou hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and sighed, “Frankly speaking, I think it’s never possible. After all, a whole seven levels of difference. Although he had heavily defeated an opponent at the tenth level of the Xuan Realm with the Xuan power of the first level of the Xuan Realm, the gap between each level of the True Xuan Realm is simply not comparable to that of the Xuan Realm.”
“Hmph, this brat is simply arrogant and out of his depth.” Tutor Qi in the back sneered.
Qin Wuyou, however, smiled faintly and said, “I, however, think that Yun Che is likely to win.”
Qin Wuyou instantly looked sideways and said in surprise, “Big brother, you never say anything you’re not sure of, so why are you optimistic about Yun Che? Although Yun Che has amazing talent and can cross levels to fight against each other, the seven level gap in the True Xuan Realm is simply impossible to surpass, and I have never heard of anyone surpassing it.”
Qin Wuyou gazed at Yun Che and slowly said, “Murong Yi’s Xuan power has greatly improved in the past three months, and I can perceive all of his progress clearly. However, what Yun Che has progressed is not only his Xuan Force, other than his appearance that makes me feel the same as three months ago, everything else about him is completely different from three months ago, it’s almost as if he’s a new person from head to toe. Moreover, his body vaguely has a …… breath that makes me completely unable to see through. This inscrutable feeling makes the outcome of the docking equally inscrutable to me.”
Qin Wuyou: “……”
“Wouyou, the time has come, you go and preside over this appointment …… But no matter what the outcome is, under the attention of all the people, I hope that you will do complete justice, and deal with the other matters afterward.” Qin WuXian said with full of deep meaning.
Qin Wuyou nodded and flew up, landing on the edge of the high platform. As soon as he appeared, the entire square suddenly fell silent, and all the onlooker disciples held their breath, waiting for the next image.
“It’s almost time, the two of you can begin.” Qin Wuyou said plainly and majestically, “But remember, this is just a sparring match, not a battle of life and death, absolutely do not injure each other’s lives, or else you will be severely punished. Alright, let’s begin!”
Qin Wuyou’s voice fell, but Murong Yi still had a careless expression on his face, and there was really no need for him to get serious in the face of a Subsequent that was only at the second level of the True Xuan Realm, as he stared at Yun Che and said with disdain, “Yun Che, have you thought about how to die?”
“I should be the one to ask you that.” Yun Che chimed in with the same disdainful sneer, “Light up your weapon.”
“Weapon?” Murong Yi laughed out loud, “Against you, I still need to use a weapon?”
“Is that so?” The corner of Yun Che’s mouth hooked up as he moved his wrist unhurriedly, “Since that’s the case, there’s no need for my weapon to come out, I hope that after a while, you’ll still be able to laugh.”
After a few words of conversation between Murong Yi and Yun Che, there were already boos from below.
“Holy shit! I really can’t listen anymore! Does Yun Che know who he is? Know who the person standing in front of him is?”
“I didn’t really believe it before when I heard that this Yun Che had brain problems, but now I’m completely convinced. A True Xuan ninth level still needs a weapon to deal with a True Xuan second level? This bastard is actually still arrogant there, our hallowed Cangfeng Xuanfu actually has such a comedian in existence.”
“This Yun Che, he also doesn’t take a piss and look at his own virtues, a True Xuan Level 2 being arrogant in front of Senior Brother Murong? I pooh! Senior Murong, hurry up and tell him to get off the stage!” R1058
