The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 855 - 853: Ninety Percent Certainty!

Chapter 855: Chapter 853: Ninety Percent Certainty!

Qiu Yukui and Tang Zong arrived at the Arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard, causing a sensation and cries of astonishment.

And at the same moment, while the crowd had yet to settle down,

from another direction of the arena, a man and a woman walked in, chatting and laughing with each other.

This man, dressed in a white robe, wore a smile on his face, his features chiseled and handsome, radiating a heroic vigor with a hint of a sovereign’s aura between his brows. His eyes were as sharp as sharp swords, seemingly a banished immortal descending to the mortal world.

The woman by his side was also clad in a snow-white robe, her face veiled, with a pair of eyes smiling in crescent moon shapes beneath it.

This man and woman approached as though a match made in heaven, a pair of unparalleled beauty!

"Senior Sister has arrived!"

"Senior Sister Gu Yueqing has arrived!"

"Is the person beside her Lin Bai?"

"Is that the disciple from the Sword Art Academy?"

Many onlookers began to exclaim upon seeing Gu Yueqing and Lin Bai.

"Is that the same person who rashly made a wager with our Knife Dao Sect’s Senior Brother, not knowing whether he seeks life or death?"

"Shameless!"

"How dare you compete with our Senior Brother for a woman that even Gu Yueqing’s eye has favored?"

When Qiu Yukui visited the Dan Dao Courtyard this time, he not only brought Tang Zong, but also many disciples from the Knife Dao Sect to bolster his presence.

Upon seeing Gu Yueqing, Yejian Qiu smiled faintly, "You know, almost every beauty on the Beauty List of the Miracle Ridge is a nation-toppling presence."

Jian Ruohan silently watched Gu Yueqing and Lin Bai as they approached.

When he saw Gu Yueqing, a trace of melancholy appeared on Jian Ruohan’s face.

He had heard more than once of the beauties on the Beauty Ranking, but apart from Hong Su, he had not met any others.

Today, upon seeing Gu Yueqing, Jian Ruohan realized that indeed every beauty on the Beauty List was strikingly gorgeous.

In the light of Gu Yueqing’s unparalleled beauty, even Jian Ruohan felt a touch of inferiority in her heart.

Hong Su, after seeing Gu Yueqing, didn’t show much reaction, but when her gaze shifted to Lin Bai, she exclaimed in surprise, "His cultivation has recovered!"

Ye Suxin was also surprised, "It really has recovered."

Hong Su said, "Now that his cultivation has recovered, it seems the Sword Art Academy won’t be quiet for long."

"This year’s Nine Institute Martial Arts Tournament might be very exciting."

"Who knows, Lin Bai’s name might even appear on the Heroes List."

Ye Suxin remarked, "I hope so."

After Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing had taken their positions in the arena, Lu Qingyu slowly made his appearance.

Watching Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing chatting and laughing as they walked over, Qiu Yukui’s face darkened with continuous murderous intent.

A chill emanated from Qiu Yukui, ice-cold to the bone.

Standing beside Qiu Yukui, Tang Zong said with a light chuckle, "Brother Qiu Yukui needn’t worry, I will certainly help you vent your anger in a little while!"

Qiu Yukui nodded, "Brother Tang, as a disciple of the Knife Dao Sect, if I were to personally teach a lesson to a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, I would again be reprimanded by the Elders of the Sword Art Academy. It’s better if Brother Tang makes the move, it will be more justified."

Tang Zong smiled, "I understand."

Qiu Yukui nodded silently, "Make sure to embarrass him!"

Tang Zong smiled proudly, looking at Lin Bai with a mocking smile.

At the arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard.

After Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing were in position, Lu Qingyu took his seat above them.

At that moment, many Elders of the Dan Dao Courtyard also arrived, eager to see if Gu Yueqing could refine the Human Emperor Elixir today.

Gu Yueqing asked with a smile, "Lin Bai, is there anything else you wish to entrust to me? If not, I’m about to announce the start of the alchemy."

Lin Bai replied with a faint smile, "Nothing more. Whatever needed to be said, I said it all last night. With your talent, you should have fully understood by now, let’s start, and not waste any more time."

Gu Yueqing smiled lightly and nodded, "Alright."

Immediately after, Gu Yueqing raised her voice to address everyone present, "Thank you all for coming to the Dan Dao Courtyard to witness me refining the Human Emperor Elixir!"

"A month ago, I publicly started refining the Human Emperor Elixir, but I never expected my understanding of it to be insufficient, leading to a failed alchemy."

"During this month, I contemplated deeply and spent sleepless nights pondering. After a whole month of hard thinking, and with guidance from Sword Art Academy disciple Lin Bai, I was finally awakened as if from a dream with a single enlightening remark."

"Today, as I start the alchemy process again, I have ninety percent confidence in my ability to refine the Human Emperor Elixir!"

"Please bear witness to this occasion."

Gu Yueqing smiled indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caught everyone’s attention.

"What? She’s received guidance from a Sword Art Academy disciple, and she now has a ninety percent confidence in refining the Human Emperor Elixir?"

"How could our Dan Dao Courtyard’s Chief Disciple need guidance from a Sword Art Academy disciple?"

"Tch, what qualifications do those Sword Art Academy disciples have to advise our Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard?"

Many Elders of the Dan Dao Courtyard immediately burst out in angry clamor.

At that moment, their glances towards Lin Bai were particularly hostile.

"Ninety percent confidence!"

"Senior Sister Gu Yueqing actually said she has a ninety percent chance!"

"Could it be that the Human Emperor Elixir will truly emerge today?"

Many warriors who came to observe were keen to see whether the Human Emperor Elixir could be successfully refined.

The Human Emperor Elixir has miraculous effects, capable of helping a warrior, at the Human Elixir Realm, to break through to the next realm instantly, truly defying the natural order.

If the Human Emperor Elixir could indeed be refined and sold publicly at Miracle Ridge, one could expect a bustling scene would ensue.

Gu Yueqing looked at Lin Bai with a smile.

Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "Begin."

Gu Yueqing returned to the center of the arena, brought out a new elixir furnace, and did not use the Red Sun Cauldron.

Afterward, she took out the spiritual medicine she had prepared earlier.

Lin Bai stood in the center of the arena, with his arms folded, watching Gu Yueqing’s preparation for alchemy with a placid expression.

"Since when did a Sword Art Academy disciple possess such Dan Dao affinity? How am I not aware of this?"

At that moment, an unusual voice came through.

As the voice became audible, it immediately diverted everyone’s attention that was fixed on Gu Yueqing towards its source.

Including Lin Bai, everyone turned to look, just in time to see Tang Zong next to Qiu Yukui, wearing a mocking smile on his face.

"Who’s talking?"

"It’s Tang Zong!"

"The genius ranked 98th on the Sword List!"

Many warriors who saw Tang Zong revealed a trace of astonishment in their eyes.

Sword List 98! That name was nothing short of legendary!

To be amongst the Sword List 98 from among a hundred thousand genius disciples of the Sword Art Academy was enough to demonstrate the extraordinary and unparalleled talent in sword art that Tang Zong possessed.

Lin Bai glanced at Tang Zong and asked, "Who are you?"

With pride plastered across his face, Tang Zong stepped forward and said, "I am a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, Tang Zong!"

"Don’t recognize you!"

After casting a casual response, Lin Bai continued to focus his attention on Gu Yueqing.

Tang Zong, having announced himself, had expected Lin Bai to bow down in awe. But how could he have known that upon hearing his name, Lin Bai would simply respond with, "Don’t recognize you."

This left Tang Zong flustered, his attempt to intimidate Lin Bai thwarted before it could even begin!

"He doesn’t recognize Tang Zong?"

"Hahaha, it seems like Tang Zong wanted to vent Qiu Yukui’s frustration, but it looks like Lin Bai ended up slapping him in the face instead!"

Many laughing warriors watched as Tang Zong grew embarrassed.

Seething with frustration, Tang Zong said, "I am a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, ranked 98th on the Sword List. Both in status and standing, I am superior to you. Since you’re a junior disciple who has just entered the Sword Art Academy, how do you not know the proper decorum? Come over here and properly address me as Senior Brother!"
