Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Heavy Strike (1)_1

"The principal has sent me to inform you that the organizers have scheduled both the team competition from 10 to 5 and the individual competition from 20 to 10 for tomorrow morning,"

"Hmm? Why?" Dugu Qianye wondered, and the others were also puzzled.

"I heard that the Saint Heir from the Divine Temple has arrived, and this arrangement was at his behest."

"The Saint Heir from the Divine Temple? Yun Jin?" Dugu Qianye asked, "Why has he come?"

She was not the only one confused; His Majesty Cangqiong was likewise unaware. He had returned to the grand hall at noon, still recovering from the rage over the announced results of today’s competition, when a guard came to report the arrival of the Saint Heir from the Divine Temple. Therefore, he had to promptly leave his seat, still warm, to go out of the Imperial Palace to welcome the guest. As he approached the palace gates, he saw a delicate carriage drawn by two white deer horses slowly approaching, flanked by four Phantom Emperors, with twenty young men and women in white robes following behind.

"Unaware of the esteemed Saint Heir’s arrival, Cangqiong failed to greet you from afar. I hope the Saint Heir will forgive this oversight," Cangqiong said, bending his body to bow. Behind him were ministers and envoys from various countries who had hurried over.

"Please rise, everyone. It was I who visited suddenly, causing inconvenience to His Majesty Cangqiong,"

A voice came from inside the carriage, clear as a mountain spring, instantly refreshing the hearts of those who heard it. As everyone rose upon this prompt, they lifted their eyes to see a slender and fair hand leisurely pull back the carriage curtain, followed by a white figure appearing before them all. Clad in a white robe, with black hair flowing like ribbons, gentle and exquisite features, his face bore a sacred smile, and his tender gaze was as soothing as being in sunlight. He merely stood there quietly, but it was as if he were standing upon a pure lotus, exuding a lofty purity that commanded respect and forbade desecration.

A young girl walked in front of the carriage and took a Jade Stool out of a Space Ring to place on the ground. Yun Jin stepped onto the Jade Stool and elegantly descended, making his way in front of His Majesty Cangqiong.

Yun Jin offered a courteous bow to His Majesty Cangqiong and said, "I have been tasked by the Hall Master to carry out a mission, and as I was passing by Cangqiong Empire, I heard about the ongoing competition between the four empires, so I came to have a look. I won’t cause any trouble for your country."

"Haha, it is a blessing for the students that the Saint Heir has come to watch the competition," Cangqiong said with a laugh, "Please, Saint Heir, this way."

Yun Jin followed Cangqiong into the Imperial Palace, asking about the details of the competition along the way. His Majesty Cangqiong narrated the events of the past few days to him in detail.

"So, does that mean tomorrow will feature only the individual competition with 20 advancing to 10?" inquired Yun Jin, having learned the full details.

"Yes, Saint Heir," His Majesty Cangqiong responded.

"That seems like such a waste of time! Why not hold the next round of the team competition tomorrow as well?"

A single sentence from the Saint Heir, and the scheduled time for the competition was changed just like that.

The next day, the individual competition of 20 advancing to 10 commenced.

Dugu Qianye, Mo Ziqing, Dan Jingtian, Ye Canglan, Long Xiang, and He Yan, a group of six, went to draw their respective numbers. After comparing them, fortunately, none of the six faced each other today. Dugu Qianye and Ye Canglan’s opponents were from the Cangqiong Empire, while Mo Ziqing, Dan Jingtian, and He Yan faced opponents from the Glei Empire, and Long Xiang encountered a participant from the Gabina Empire.

At 8:30, His Majesty Cangqiong led everyone to the special viewing area as always. However, today was special because a figure dressed in white walked side by side with Cangqiong, and when the two sat down, everyone noticed their seats were also next to one another.

"Who is that? How can he sit next to His Majesty?" someone in the stands asked, bewildered.

"I’ve heard it’s the Saint Heir from the Divine Temple, who has come specially to watch the competition."

"Really, the Saint Heir? To think we would get such a close view of the Saint Heir!"

The main judge looked towards His Majesty Cangqiong, and after receiving a nod, stepped forward and announced, "Today’s competition will now begin. We shall proceed with the individual competition. Judges and contestants, please take your places."

platforms, 10 matches all commenced simultaneously. Everyone started heading towards their respective platforms, while Dugu Qianye still stood there in a daze.

"Brother, what are you thinking about so intently? The match has started," Dan Jingtian came over and said to Dugu Qianye.

"Hehe, it’s nothing. Let’s go."

Why did she feel like the Saint Heir had winked at her when His Majesty Cangqiong and his entourage entered the arena? However, after trying hard to recall, she couldn’t remember having any contact with such a person. Forget it, if she couldn’t remember, then there’s no point in pondering over it. Dugu Qianye shook her head, cleared her thoughts, and then walked toward her platform.

From the special spectator stand, the Saint Heir of the Divine Temple glanced over the contestants on the platform, and a slight smile deepened in his eyes when he looked at Dugu Qianye.

"Haha, I never expected my luck to be this good. Now I can easily advance to the top 10!"

Dugu Qianye had just stepped onto the platform when she heard this remark. She looked at her opponent with some confusion. Did she really look that weak?

Unknown to her, she was considered a waste who couldn’t cultivate since the other party had directly conceded in the last match and she showed no signs of Phantom Power or Sword Qi fluctuations. Hence, she was only allowed to participate in the Four Great Empires Tournament to possibly gain some reputation. Therefore, in the eyes of all the spectators, she was indeed, incredibly weak!

She glanced at her opponent, Liu Xing, the third greatest prodigy of Cangqiong, a 24-year-old Level 5 Phantom King. It was said that he only acknowledged Cang Jin.

Seeing that both parties were ready, the referee said, "Begin," and then retreated to the edge of the platform.

"Baili Xie, running into me is your bad luck. If it were someone else, that would be it, but who told you to offend our young Marquis? Meet your demise!" Liu Xing finished speaking and then launched an attack on Dugu Qianye.

On the special stand, Cang Mou closely watched the match beneath. Seeing Liu Xing attacking Dugu Qianye, a smile appeared on his face. Haha, this Baili Xie is going to die!

The audience on the stand paid attention to this platform as well. Although the other platforms had also begun their matches, none were as captivating as this one. Everyone wanted to see how a waste would handle themselves on the platform.

"Bang"

The Phantom Power Sphere exploded at the spot where Dugu Qianye stood, obscuring the view.

"He’s been killed?"

"Such a pity for that handsome young man, to lose his life for such a reputation."

"No, he’s not dead. Look."

The fog created by the Phantom Power gradually dispersed, revealing only some stone debris and none of the bloody scene everyone had anticipated. Liu Xing thought he had killed Dugu Qianye and revealed a victorious smile, but when he clearly saw the scene across from him, the smile froze on his face.

"How is this possible?!" Liu Xing couldn’t believe it.

"Hehe, how is it not possible?" A light chuckle came from behind Liu Xing, startling him to quickly turn around, only to see Dugu Qianye standing less than two meters behind him.

"How did he get behind Liu Xing?"

Those with low Phantom Power couldn’t see clearly how Dugu Qianye had moved behind Liu Xing. But that didn’t mean others hadn’t seen it. His Majesty Cangqiong narrowed his eyes slightly and a hint of surprise shone through.
