Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Yi Yun walked to his seat.
At this moment, a weak voice came from the stage, "Yi … Yi Yun …"
Yi Yun stopped in his tracks and turned around. The person who spoke was Qiuniu. He could not speak loudly as Yi Yun's saber had sliced open his chest, causing him to be out of breath.
"This saber … Where did you learn it from …"
Qiuniu said every word with great difficulty. A few doctors advised Qiuniu not to speak, but Qiuniu did not listen.
"A few days ago, a senior brought me there to learn it." Yi Yun did not hide it, but he did not mention the ancient tomb. After all, the ancient tomb beneath the Tai Ah Divine City was still in a semi-secret state. Many people did not know about it.
"A few days ago …" Qiuniu suddenly recalled Yi Yun's disappearance. He smiled bitterly and said, "I see … You disappeared for a few days … to gain insight into the saber …"
He had only left for a few days, and he had managed to gain insight into such a terrifying saber technique?
It was unimaginable …
"What is this saber technique called …" Qiuniu asked again. Yi Yun had only slashed once, but he did not say the name of his move like Qiuniu did.
Yi Yun sighed slightly and said, "Sovereign Descent!"
This was the name Yi Yun had given to the saber technique. This was because this move was learned from the Saber Truth's 32 Words, "Sovereign Descent".
Be it Qiuniu or the other Divine City cultivators in the audience stands, no one recognized the move from the Saber Truth's 32 Words. They only knew that Yi Yun's saber technique was extremely terrifying.
"Sovereign Descent … Good saber!"
Qiuniu did not speak further. A few doctors carried him off the stage on a stretcher.
Qiuniu had been defeated and he was severely injured. His next battle was against a veteran cultivator ranked 2800 on the Earth roll. Naturally, he would not be able to fight. Qiuniu's ranking had also fallen to 10,003 because of his defeat to Yi Yun.
However, this did not affect Qiuniu's ranking in the rookie competition. This was because the rookie ranking competition was based on each rookie's highest ranking in history.
Without any surprises, Qiuniu would be ranked third. As for Yi Yun, he was ranked second amongst the rookies!
And he still had three more battles to fight!
Who would he challenge in his next battle? Would he choose a veteran cultivator who was ranked highly? Or Chu Xiaoran?
Upon thinking of this, people's hearts began to race. No matter who Yi Yun challenged, it would no doubt be an exciting battle!
…
Meanwhile, in the central divine pagoda.
Cang Yan and Elder Jian Ge were playing chess again. The two old men brewed a pot of tea and played chess while drinking tea. It was very difficult for the two of them to advance any further, so they began to live a leisurely life. When the two of them got together, they would often play a game of chess for several days.
As for the rookie ranking competition, it was just a game of chess. They would occasionally pay attention to it. For people at their level, the competition between rookies for rankings wasn't a big deal.
Jian Ge and Cang Yan were the Divine City's Elders who paid more attention to the rookies. As for the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord and the others, some of them went into reclusive training for decades at a time. They had never heard of Qin Haotian when asked who he was.
"I say, Old Sword. The last time you went to Tiannan Island, didn't you bring back two catties of Jing Luo Chun? Why don't I see you brewing it? It's such a waste of good tea! "
Cang Yan drank a mouthful of tea. The tea he was drinking was also a top grade tea. Drinking it could nourish his Dantian. A pot of it was expensive, but Cang Yan was still thinking of Elder Jian Ge's Jing Luo Chun.
Jian Ge rolled his eyes at Cang Yan and could not be bothered with him. He said, "Didn't you call Yi Yun out today? How's that kid? "
Upon mentioning Yi Yun. Cang Yan stroked his chin, as if he did not know how to evaluate him.
"This … It's a bit hard to say! When I asked this kid to come out, his expression was quite confident, as if he had comprehended something. But I pondered, he had only been in there for a short time, so the possibility of him comprehending something is not very high. So I think if there is a chance, I will let him in a few more times to comprehend for a few more days. After that, I will arrange a decent opponent for this kid to fight, so that we can see the results! "
Hearing Cang Yan's words, Elder Jian Ge was speechless. He slammed the chess piece in his hand onto the table and snapped, "Go in a few more times? Do you think the saber tomb is the Tai Ah Divine City's cafeteria!? "
"Entering the saber tomb for the first time in the Purple Blood realm for a few days makes him so confident, as if he figured something out. This kind of insight is most likely wrong. Don't tell me you didn't think of this. Are you planning to bring Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran into the sword and saber tombs in a few days? Let's see if they can figure something out! "
Hearing Elder Jian Ge's questioning, Cang Yan did not say a word. He too felt that Yi Yun's insight might have gone astray.
He whispered, "Forget about Qiuniu. As for Chu Xiaoran, I think we can give it a try. She is young and has gained insight. Her perceptivity is very good. Besides, she uses a sword."
Hearing Cang Yan's words, Jian Ge hesitated for a while. What Cang Yan said made sense. Chu Xiaoran could indeed give it a try.
Elder Jian Ge said, "Old man Cang, we have to be careful. Although these geniuses have a small chance of becoming a sage, we can't ruin their future. In the past year, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom has had many strange phenomena. The Purple Clouds' Birth in the Cloud Wilderness and last year's beast horde migration in the Divine wilderness. Who knows if something big will happen … It's always good to nurture a junior …"
As Jian Ge said this, a Yuan Qi voice transmission came from outside the door, "Subordinate Gui Bai requests an audience with Elder Jian Ge."
"Gui Bai?"
Jian Ge's heart skipped a beat. As a law-enforcer, Gui Bai was in charge of presiding over the rookie ranking competition. At this time, he should be in the arena.
"Come in. What's the matter?"
Jian Ge said lightly.
Gui Bai, who was dressed in a black cloak, pushed open the door and took off his cloak. He cupped his fists and said, "I am presiding over the rookie ranking competition. There is a battle that is a bit special. I am not sure, so I brought a video disk array. Elders, please appraise it!"
As Gui Bai said this, he handed over the disk array.
Jian Ge gave Gui Bai a puzzled look. What kind of rookie battle would require him and Cang Yan to appraise it?
At this time, Gui Bai placed the disk array on the table. He circulated his body's Yuan Qi and injected it into the disk array. Immediately, the disk array flashed and a scene appeared.
It was a battle between Qiuniu and Yi Yun!
"Oh? This little guy wants to challenge Qiuniu the moment he comes out? He sure is confident! "
Yi Yun was after all from an ordinary background. He had only been in the Tai Ah Divine City for three months and he had already challenged a genius from a hidden family clan, Qiuniu. It was not easy for him to reach this stage.
Gui Bai did not say a word. He stood by the side with his hands by his side. He only silently powered the disk array. Even without him saying it, Jian Ge and Cang Yan could tell what was special about this battle.
On the disk array, Qiuniu and Yi Yun were engaged in an intense battle. Seeing Yi Yun break through Qiuniu's armor defense, Jian Ge nodded repeatedly.
Following that, Qiuniu took off his armor to fight Yi Yun. Jian Ge had a rare smile of appreciation on his face.
"This little guy is not bad!"
"That's what I said! He's not bad. Look at him fighting against Qiu Niu. He's not at a disadvantage at all. It's reasonable for me to let him enter the Saber Tomb. In time, he might really comprehend something! "
Cang Yan said with a boast. And at this moment, Yi Yun was trapped by Qiuniu's Trapped Ox Lock. Cang Yan's beaming face immediately turned stiff. Why couldn't this kid take a compliment? He had been locked up and could only fight head-on. And in this case, Yi Yun might suffer.
At this moment, Qiuniu attacked with a killing blow. Yi Yun met it with his saber.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. When they saw Yi Yun's saber beam slash through the Sky Bull phantom image and slash at Qiuniu's majestic body, be it Cang Yan or Jian Ge, their expressions froze!
Just now …
How could that be!?
The two elders looked at each other and saw incredulity in each other's eyes.
"Replay!"
Cang Yan's voice sounded urgent.
Gui Bai did not say a word. He injected his Yuan Qi again and replayed Yi Yun's slash.
This slash had landed on Qiuniu's body, and it had also slashed into Cang Yan and Elder Jian Ge's pupils. The saber beam was deeply imprinted into the two elders' irises and did not dissipate for a long time.
"The concept of the Saber Truth's 32 Words!"
Elder Jian Ge said in a deep voice.
"This kid!" Cang Yan was at a loss for words. At this moment, according to his character, he should be jumping up and praising himself, saying that he had good foresight.
But because Yi Yun was too monstrous, to be able to understand the saber intent of the Saber Truth's 32 Words in just a few days, he was rendered speechless.
He had asked Yi Yun to enter the saber tomb on a whim. He wanted to give it a try. He thought that if Yi Yun was talented, he could enter a few more times in the future. If he could gain a tiny bit of insight, it would be enough to benefit him for life.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impressive for Yi Yun to gain any insight in a few months. But now, in just four to five days, he had such insight? It was too exaggerated!
Even Qin Haotian, a natural swordsman, could not catch up to Yi Yun in terms of insight into the way of the sword!
"Amazing! Could this kid be a natural swordsman? "
Some people were born with a particular weapon. It was as if they were born for that weapon. When they used that weapon, their strength would increase greatly, and they could not use other weapons.
Such a person could easily reach an extreme in a particular aspect. It was also easier for them to understand the weapon's corresponding Dao.
Jian Ge shook his head and said, "He's not … He still has a bow, and his archery skills are not bad. I heard the deacon of the Herb Gathering Division describe that he was able to capture that Primordial Herb by relying on that bow."
"Since he is not a natural swordsman, but in terms of perception, he is better than a natural swordsman … It's unbelievable!"
