The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 854 - 852: Sword List 98! Tang Zong! [Fifth Update]

Chapter 854: Chapter 852: Sword List 98! Tang Zong! [Fifth Update]

The next morning, one by one, many disciples made their way to the plaza of the Dan Dao Courtyard.

"Big bro, what are you all heading out to do?"

"You don’t know yet? Today, the Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard, Gu Yueqing, is going to concoct the Human Emperor Elixir in the arena!"

"Didn’t she attempt that a month ago and fail?"

"But this time it’s different, a disciple from the Sword Art Academy has made a bet with the Chief Disciple of the Knife Dao Sect. That disciple from the Sword Art Academy has promised that Gu Yueqing will successfully concoct the Human Emperor Elixir today; otherwise, he will apologize with his death!"

"Damn, are the disciples of the Sword Art Academy that crazy? Let’s go, I want to see this!"

The arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard was already bustling with disciples waiting since last night.

The Dan Dao Courtyard also knew that a lot of people would come today, so they had made preparations in advance to welcome the disciples from the Nine Great Institutions.

At dawn, as the sun began to rise in the east, the arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard was already packed to the brim.

"Damn, looking at this crowd, there must be over three hundred thousand people here today."

"Yeah, almost all the warriors from the Nine Great Institutions are here."

"I wonder if the Human Emperor Elixir will be concocted today."

Many people, full of curiosity, started chatting with their friends while waiting for the alchemy to begin.

Among the crowd, there were many familiar faces for Lin Bai.

For instance, Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng were standing together.

He Qian and Qi Yao stood together.

And in another direction, a woman holding a sharp sword, with a notably cool face, stood among the crowd, grabbing everyone’s attention, with all eyes invariably turning to her again and again.

"Who’s that girl? How come such beauty has not appeared on the Beauty Ranking?"

"Such strong power fluctuations from her, and her Sword Intention is extremely high as well!"

"Wow, so beautiful, she’s not any less gorgeous than the ones on the Beauty Ranking!"

The surrounding warriors were all surprised upon seeing the girl.

This girl, despite hearing the comments around her, remained cold-faced, without any response.

From a distance, a carefree man came over with a smile and said, "Is it fun being gawked at like a monkey here?"

The woman smiled and said, "Jian Ruohan, it’s been a while. Ever since you joined the Miracle Ridge, we hardly had the chance to meet."

This man and woman were actually Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu.

Yejian Qiu said with a smile, "Ah, only after joining the Sword Art Academy did I realize how inadequate my cultivation is. I recently made a trip to the Primordial World to slay some Demon Beasts and sold them on the Black Market."

Jian Ruohan smiled slightly, "Didn’t you go to the Physical Spirit Arena?"

Yejian Qiu lamented with a bitter smile, "That’s a gathering of freaks. How could I dare to go? Besides, with my small number of points, I’d probably lose everything if I went in."

"Jian Ruohan, I heard you’ve had impressive achievements in the Physical Spirit Arena! Ten battles, ten victories!"

"Impressive!"

Yejian Qiu laughed lightly.

Jian Ruohan spoke indifferently, "You have the strength too, you just don’t want to go to the Physical Spirit Arena, that’s all."

Yejian Qiu laughed freely, "The time for me to make my move isn’t here yet. After all, rising too early makes it easy to get targeted by the monsters in the Sword Art Academy! That’s not a good thing."

Jian Ruohan gave a faint smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Just as Yejian Qiu had said, after Jian Ruohan became prominent in the Physical Spirit Arena, she was constantly watched by the experts from the Sword List of the Sword Art Academy. In just half a month, Jian Ruohan received over a dozen challenge letters from the Sword Art Academy.

Yejian Qiu said with a laugh, "What new tricks is our Dongling First Sword Cultivator up to now?"

"How did he get into a tiff with the Chief Disciple of the Knife Dao Sect?"

Jian Ruohan said with a smile, "You know his nature, don’t you? He fears no authority, dreads no adversary. Wherever he goes, he’s bound to stir up trouble."

Yejian Qiu laughed, "That’s not the main point. I heard Lin Bai stayed in Gu Yueqing’s chambers for a month. Is it true?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Ruohan’s expression turned icy, and a hint of coldness flowed through her body.

Yejian Qiu, standing beside Jian Ruohan, was slightly startled, instinctively stepping back two paces to distance himself a bit from Jian Ruohan.

Yejian Qiu said with a wry smile, "Seems like it is true then?"

Jian Ruohan snapped, "Shut up! Nobody would take you for a mute if you didn’t say anything!"

Yejian Qiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

...

At that moment, from another direction, two women entered.

Hong Su and Ye Suxin.

Hong Su spoke indifferently, "Suxin, if today Lin Bai really helps Gu Yueqing refine the Human Emperor Elixir, it would mean that Lin Bai’s accomplishments in Dan Dao are profound. Perhaps he has a way to unravel the Ice Extinguishing Skill!"

"Otherwise, you should tell him the matter."

Ye Suxin shook her head and said, "No! I will not speak of it; I will find a way to solve the Ice Extinguishing Skill myself!"

Hong Su shook her head, and then said, "It is said that Lin Bai stayed in Gu Yueqing’s boudoir for a month... What do you think?"

Ye Suxin’s expression remained indifferent as she replied, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Whichever and whatever kind of women he wants to find is none of my business!"

"As long as he does not die, that’s enough."

Ye Suxin maintained her cool composure as she spoke.

Hong Su gave a helpless, bitter smile and shook her head.

"Qiu Yukui is here!"

"He’s here?"

"One of the main characters of today’s event has arrived, right?"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, and countless warriors turned their heads to look.

The Chief Disciple of the Dao Academy Blade Ranking, Qiu Yukui, entered the Daoist Arena with a stride as powerful as a dragon’s walk and a tiger’s step.

Beside Qiu Yukui followed a man dressed in the robes of a Sword Art Academy disciple.

Many people saw the man and exclaimed, "The Sword Art Academy disciple beside Qiu Yukui looks like... the Sky-splitting Sword who is ranked 98th on the Sword List! Tang Zong!"

"It really is Tang Zong!"

"Sky-splitting Sword! Tang Zong!"

"A talent who is in the top hundred of the Sword List!"

Many people were startled and fearful at the sight of Tang Zong.

Especially some disciples of the Sword Art Academy, they were filled with unabashed admiration.

In the Sword Art Academy, which now had more than a hundred thousand individuals, each one was a dragon among men, an extraordinary talent in sword arts.

Tang Zong had managed to stand out among these hundred thousand sword geniuses and enter the top hundred of the Sword List, which was enough to prove his extraordinary strength!

The first on the Sword List was the Chief Disciple of the Sword Art Academy!

And the first on the Dao Academy Blade Ranking was the Chief Disciple of the Knife Dao Sect!

Qiu Yukui was the first person on the Dao Academy Blade Ranking, known as the Asura Blade!

Qiu Yukui and Tang Zong made their way to the front of the Daoist Arena and stood firm.

Tang Zong laughed and said, "Senior Brother Qiu Yukui, rest assured, since it is a disciple from my Sword Art Academy who has shown such a lack of manners and offended Senior Brother Qiu Yukui, I will certainly not show them any favor later."

Qiu Yukui laughed and replied, "Brother Tang, thank you for your help this time. Make sure to dampen Lin Bai’s spirit for me later!"

Tang Zong laughed proudly, "Don’t worry, Brother Qiu, as the Sword Cultivator ranked 98th on the Sword List, even if Lin Bai has exceptional talent in sword arts, he still has to call me Senior Brother when he sees me!"

"Subduing him will be as easy as flipping my hand!"

"Just wait and see, Brother Qiu!"

Tang Zong said with pride.

Qiu Yukui replied with a smile, "Good, Brother Tang, I shall await your performance!"

Qiu Yukui invited Tang Zong over; was he actually intending to dampen Lin Bai’s spirit before the beginning of the alchemy, to vent his spleen for Qiu Yukui?
