Nangong Huang was in the limelight.
Murong Xuan was eager to try too. "It's my turn next."
Just when he was about to strike the golden bell, Chu Kuangren stopped him. "Stand down. Let Lil Bing strike the bell."
What?!
Everyone looked at each other when they heard that.
Lil Bing?
Everyone looked at the petite maid behind Chu Kuangren and was shocked. They stared at Chu Kuangren with a 'are you kidding me?' expression.
Even Lil Bing was a little confused.
"Me?" She looked at Chu Kuangren and pointed at herself.
"Yes, go ahead."
"Sect Leader, isn't this a little too hasty? Lil Bing is only at the Paradise Realm. Won't we be making a fool out of ourselves if we let her go?"
Murong Xuan said.
"Just let her go." Chu Kuangren smiled.
Lil Bing hesitated for a while before she nodded and slowly walked towards the golden bell. Everyone's eyes were on her.
It was her first time encountering such a situation, so she was a little nervous. She looked around before she came to the three prefects and said cautiously, "Greetings, Black Heaven Sect's outer sect disciple, Lil Bing."
Outer sect disciple?!
Everyone apart from the Black Heaven Sect was dumbfounded when they heard that. They looked at Lil Bing in disbelief.
After all, the great orthodoxies were not the elites of their orthodoxies. They were all Daoists.
How could an outer sect disciple participate in the championship?!
"It can't be. Even an outer sect disciple is here to join in the fun?"
"Is there no one else in the Black Heaven Sect other than Chu Kuangren? What the hell are they doing by sending an outer sect disciple to participate in the championship? "
"Outer sect disciple? Can she even strike the golden bell? "
"I don't think she can even make a sound."
"Is the Black Heaven Sect taking this championship seriously?"
Everyone was not optimistic about Lil Bing.
When the golden bell was struck previously, the weakest cultivator was at the Battle Monarch Realm. How strong could an outer sect disciple be?
Everyone treated this as a joke.
"Are you really an outer sect disciple?"
The Thirteenth Prefect looked at Lil Bing and asked with a frown.
"Yes."
Lil Bing nodded. She was already an outer disciple when she was chosen to serve Chu Kuangren. Although she could have become a True Disciple a long time ago with her strength, she had not been promoted for the past few years.
From her point of view, becoming a True Disciple or even a Daoist was not as good as staying by Chu Kuangren's side, even if she could only be a servant.
"Sect Leader Chu, you'd better explain yourself. What do you mean by this? Are you treating this competition as a game?"
The Thirteenth Prefect looked at Chu Kuangren and asked in a deep voice.
The First City had organized this Genius's Supremacy Competition and all the participants were renowned sky-prides, Daoists and even Young Emperors.
To the Thirteenth Prefect, Chu Kuangren sending an outer sect disciple into the arena was a form of disrespect to the First City. It was a form of provocation.
"What's wrong? The rules only state that sect leaders can't participate. Which rule says that outer sect disciples can't participate?"
Chu Kuangren raised an eyebrow and retorted.
"You …" The Thirteenth Prefect was rendered speechless. He scoffed coldly and said to Lil Bing, "You may begin then. I'd like to see what tricks an outer sect disciple like you can play."
Lil Bing stood in front of the golden bell and took a deep breath.
She slowly raised her hand.
A mysterious golden rune appeared on her arm.
Then, the surrounding spiritual qi, like rivers flowing into the ocean, continuously gathered towards the golden rune on Lil Bing's arm!
A golden sword shadow appeared out of thin air in front of Lil Bing, emitting a terrifying aura that was comparable to an Honorable's.
Everyone's expression changed when they saw that.
"Rune, it's the power of runes."
"No wonder Chu Kuangren sent her into the arena. So that's how it is. But judging from her aura, she's only comparable to an ordinary Honorable."
"She can only unleash three chants at most."
"Something's not right."
The Sect Leaders of the various great orthodoxies frowned.
That was because they realized that the power of the rune in Lil Bing's hand was still increasing. The surrounding spiritual qi was like a tidal wave, turning into golden ripples that continuously surged into the rune.
The golden sword shadow became more and more solid, and an incredibly sharp aura emanated from it. The entire arena was shrouded in that aura.
Gradually, everyone felt their hearts palpitate as they looked at the delicate Lil Bing who was standing at the same spot and gulped.
"I think the power is still increasing."
"What kind of rune is that! Why is it so terrifying?! "
"Golden Mountain-Breaker Sword!!" When the golden sword shadow's aura reached its peak and turned into a giant sword that was almost solid, Lil Bing let out a cry, and the giant sword, which was wrapped in a majestic sword qi, shot out.
Boom!!
The giant sword directly landed on the golden bell, and a horrifying sound erupted.
Everyone could only see the golden bell being blasted away, and it kept ringing in mid-air.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven …
When the twelfth bell rang, the golden bell fell from mid-air and smashed onto the ground. When the last bell rang, it set off billowing smoke and dust that engulfed half of the arena.
Thirteen bell rings!
Everyone could only feel their minds buzzing as they looked at Lil Bing who was standing at the same spot in disbelief.
'Is she really an outer sect disciple?!'
"That attack is even more terrifying than an Honorable Supreme. I think it's at least as powerful as a Boundary Sage!"
"Oh my god, is she really an outer sect disciple?"
"Is the Black Heaven Sect messing with us?!"
The Thunder Falcon Tribe, Linghu clan, Tempest Mountain, Sky Emperor Palace, Heaven Chord Sect, and other sage orthodoxies' Sect Leaders and sky-prides were all staring at Lil Bing.
They could not imagine that this little handmaiden, who seemed to have never seen much of the world, could actually burst out such a terrifying power!
Thirteen bell rings meant thirteen points. Adding that to Nangong Huang's original six points, that was a total of nineteen points!
What kind of concept was that?!
After all, the other orthodoxies' best result was only eleven points, whereas the Black Heaven Sect was sitting on nineteen points!
They had left the other orthodoxies far behind in the first round!
"Sect Leader, since when did Lil Bing become so terrifying?"
Nangong Huang gulped and said. Other than Chu Kuangren, no one else in the arena could withstand that attack!
"Heh, Lil Bing has a Sage-grade rune on her. The only reason she has such power is because of that Sage-grade rune."
"However, this technique takes a long time to charge up, so it's not as terrifying as you think."
Chu Kuangren smiled.
The Golden Mountain-Breaker Sword was the strongest technique of the golden rune, but its weakness was that it took a long time to charge up.
This was especially true for Lil Bing's current cultivation level. In a real battle, by the time she was ready, her enemies would be able to kill her several times over.
Meanwhile, the sky-prides and Sect Leaders of the other orthodoxies had also noticed this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lil Bing could use that technique as she pleased, it would be too disadvantageous for them.
'No wonder Chu Kuangren let her fight. Striking the golden bell isn't a real battle, and since it won't move, it's perfect for her to unleash the full potential of that technique.'
The Sect Leaders and sky-prides of the orthodoxies thought to themselves.
With that, the first round had ended. The Black Heaven Sect had taken first place with an absolute advantage of nineteen points!
