Chapter 88A - The Valiant North Bank
As soon as Zheng Yuandong’s words travelled out, all of the North and South Bank disciples on the arena felt their hearts shudder and they subconsciously raised their heads to gaze at the terrace above.
When they did, four heaven-shaking and earth-startling spiritual senses immediately arrived from the forbidden area on the peak of Zhong Dao Mountain that was covered in brilliant white snow. As they appeared, they swept across everyone present.
Having being swept over by those four spiritual senses, all of the outer sect disciples, including Bai Xiaochun, momentarily shuddered under the feeling of absolute suppression, as though both their body and soul could be exterminated at a glimpse.
Bai Xiaochun wasn’t the only one to feel this way, Shangguan Tianyou and the Heaven’s Chosen from the North Bank shuddered too. But soon after, excitement and enthusiasm surfaced in their eyes.
The Grand Elders were paying attention to this battle. This matter caused all disciples qualified for the battle to have their breaths quicken and their eyes shine brightly.
“If one is able to attract the attention of the Grand Elders, they might be accepted as a Conclave Disciple...”
“We must go all-out in this battle!” In this moment, killing intent exploded from the bodies of the competing outer sect disciples from both the North and South Banks.
It was Bai Xiaochun alone who blinked his eyes.
“Grand Elders on the same level as my Master? Then they would be my Senior Uncles…” Bai Xiaochun was filled with pride as he felt that his status was really high. After this Heaven’s Chosen War had ended, he thought that he should definitely go visit those Senior Uncles to pay his respects.
It was also at this time that Sect Head Zheng Yuandong, who was on the terrace, flourished his large sleeve and a ball of light appeared out of thin air. The ball of light suddenly flew toward the arena, illuminating it as it divided itself into twenty-two beads. Each of them flew towards the representatives of the South Bank and the North Bank. After arriving at Bai Xiaochun and the others, they all quickly lowered their heads to inspect the ones in their hands.
“Eleven?” Bai Xiaochun peeked from the corner of his eye with the intention to steal a glance at other people’s beads but realised that Shangguan Tianyou and the rest had all hidden theirs tightly, preventing those beside them to see their number.
“First battle, those holding beads number one and number two, go to the arena!” A cold and somber voice arrived from the terrace above. It didn’t belong to Zheng Yuandong, instead it came from Ouyang Jie from the Law Enforcement Agency.
As soon as his voice echoed out, a person flew out from the North Bank’s side. That person was tall and skinny with a cold and arrogant look on his face. Once he appeared on the arena, loud cheers immediately resounded from the North Bank. Even though he was not one of the North Bank’s five great Heaven’s Chosen, as seen from the magnitude of the cheers from those North Bank disciples, that person too was a Chosen one.
“North Bank, Liu Yun!” When this tall and skinny youngster got on the arena and spoke arrogantly, Shangguan Tianyou similarly had shot out from the South Bank’s side and appeared on the arena.
“South Bank, Shangguan Tianyou!” He stood there with an indifferent expression on his face. He stood straight like a sharp sword. When his voice travelled out, it seemed as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped.
Immediately after Shangguan Tianyou moved, astonishing cheers erupted from all of the South Bank outer sect disciples in support for Shangguan Tianyou.
The lanky youngster’s complexion changed. He would have never thought that as soon as he appeared on the field, he would come across one of the South Bank’s most illustrious Heaven’s Chosen. Unsightly look adorned his face as he took a deep breath, the air nearby distorted with a wave of his hand. An enormous python with a foul stench appeared, coiled its tail and rose, its height reaching over one zhang.
(ED note: one zhang is approximately 3.58 meters, or 3.64 yards.)
This lanky youngster summoned his monstrous beast, but before he could continue, Shangguan Tianyou stepped forward without a change in his expression. His body had actually disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already standing behind the lanky youngster. Shangguan Tianyou waved his right hand and a flying sword appeared on the lanky youngster’s neck.
“You lose.”
A chill ran through the lanky youngster’s whole body and an aghast expression appeared on his face. With great difficulty, he turned his head around and glanced at Shangguan Tianyou. In his eyes, utter disbelief hid. He thought that he was probably not the other’s match, but he would have never imagined that he would actually lose this quickly. After a long time, he conceded bitterly, unsummoned his huge python and walked off the arena.
“We have won the first round. Haha, our South Bank is definitely going to win this time!”
“Senior Brother Shangguan has the capabilities to strive for the top place!”
