Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Win The Championship
A vigorous battle intent pervaded the arena. Shui Wubo swept his gaze across Ye Feng and found that the seemingly simple Ye Feng seemed to be hiding within his body like a primordial beast. He did not dare to be careless and clasped his fist, “Shui Wubo!”
“Ye Feng!”
After the simple etiquette ended, a faint ripple appeared on the arena. It was like a stream of water. This was a great success of the Soft Water Fist. It borrowed water power and was endless.
Wind blew from the soles of his feet. Ye Feng’s body was like a cannonball. His fist was covered with a thick layer of True Qi, and it was like a layer of armor, directly imprinted on the ripples.
“Boom!”
A dull ripple echoed above the arena. The ripples disappeared and Shui Wubo’s body floated like a butterfly. He landed on the edge of the arena. His eyes were filled with shock!
“Your strength is so strong. I am no match for you!”
Shui Wubo actually took the initiative to admit defeat, causing countless people to be shocked. They almost went crazy. The inner sect disciples were ranked third, but they were also pushed back by Ye Feng’s punch, and even took the initiative to admit defeat.
Ye Feng politely walked down the arena and prepared for the eighth match. The battle became more and more intense. Only Ye Feng was a freak. Up until now, no one had forced him to use the second move, not even moving his weapon.
The eighth match arrived as scheduled. Ye Feng’s opponent still took the initiative to admit defeat, admitting defeat several times in a row. Until the eleventh match, the most exciting moment had arrived.
Ye Feng met the number one inner sect disciple, Ximen Xuri. This disciple was dressed in white with a long sword hanging on his waist. He was a peerless genius of the Ximen Clan. His strength had reached the peak of the Houtian 8th layer. It was rumored that not long ago, a Houtian 9th layer disciple had been defeated by him.
If Ye Feng defeated his opponent this time, he would win the championship. Ximen Xuri would definitely not give up the first place so easily. Last year, he took the initiative to give up the competition for elite disciples and did not issue a challenge. He was waiting for this year to challenge the top 50 elite disciples.
The two of them looked at each other and the surroundings fell into incomparable silence. This time, even the high platform was like this. Ye Feng had completely evolved from a black horse into a wild horse without reins. He rode on a peerless horse and continuously defeated his opponent to enter the final.
“You’re very strong. When you came out of nowhere, I checked your information. It seems like a month ago, you were still a piece of trash that couldn’t be cultivated. What exactly made you advance by leaps and bounds in a short month!”
I didn’t expect Ximen Xuri to actually investigate Ye Feng’s information. There were rumors outside that Ye Feng had swallowed some kind of spirit medicine, but Ximen Xuri didn’t think so.
Although consuming spirit medicines could increase one’s strength quickly in a short period of time, they didn’t have enough stamina. After a long period of time, the drawbacks would be exposed.
However, Ye Feng was completely unable to see the shortcomings after consuming the spirit medicine. It was as if he had cultivated for a long time. His true energy was rich and his body was strong. These martial skills could not be achieved by relying on spirit medicine, nor could they be cultivated by spirit medicine. He needed to constantly hone, kill, and experience the essence of martial skills. All of this showed that Ye Feng had only appeared before and confused everyone.
“No comment!” Ye Feng only said four words. Of course, he didn’t want anyone to know about his mutated physique. Even his biological parents didn’t mention it, let alone outsiders.
“That’s right. Everyone has their own secrets. I’m not asking anymore. I’m just curious. Don’t tell me you still don’t plan on using weapons when you fight me?”
Ximen Xuri said as he looked at the axe on Ye Feng’s waist.
Most people chose swords, scimitars, spears and other weapons. There were very few who used axes as weapons. Although this kind of weapon was tyrannical, the drawback was that it lacked a gentle force and had very little change. Few people used it. Ye Feng was a special type of weapon.
Slowly pulling out the axe, Ye Feng’s footsteps fell and his aura surged. Ninety bulls of energy were emitted from his body, causing the arena to emit a rumbling sound.
“Ninety bulls, how is this possible!”
When Ye Feng displayed his strength, the surroundings boiled. Only at the ninth level of the Houtian realm could he reach ninety bulls’ strength. However, Ye Feng was only at the seventh level of the Houtian realm. This was completely illogical.
However, they did not know that Ye Feng had only used the power of four dantian. If all nine dantian qi were released, he could break through to the extreme and reach the power of a flying dragon.
After ninety-nine bulls’ power, it would be a flying dragon’s power, about ten thousand jin. Only the Xiantian realm could reach it, and the Houtian realm could only reach ninety-nine bulls’ power.
A trace of shock flashed across Ximen Xuri’s face. He had underestimated Ye Feng’s strength. His sword clanged out and drew out a streak of sword light. The sword Qi blew down randomly. Those disciples who were close to him felt the sword Qi tear their skin apart. Some of them even had bloody strands under their skin. This was because their bodies had been cut open by the sword Qi.
“The sun rises in the east!” Facing the power of ninety bulls, Ximen Xuri attacked first. He could not wait. If he waited any longer, his imposing aura would be completely suppressed by Ye Feng. The sword let out a contentious sound, pulled out sword flowers, and blossomed.
Facing the storm of sword Qi, Ye Feng’s body was like an old tree, not moving at all. He held the huge axe in his hand and slashed down in the air, his momentum heavy. The thick axe mark lifted the sword Qi and shattered the sword curtain. The gorgeous sword flower released a wave in the air and directly exploded.
In front of absolute power, everything was illusory, unable to shake the footsteps of the axe imprint. A deep gully appeared on the arena. Ximen Xuri flew backwards, feeling his chest stifled. A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his pure white clothes seemed to be covered in plum blossoms.
“Push! Push!” Clear footprints appeared on the ground. Ximen Xuri took a few steps back before he could barely stand firm. His chest was undulating and his face was pale. It was as if he was not fighting against a person, but a wild beast. A violent wild beast had no shadow of a martial skill. It was just an axe that broke all of his martial skills. It was inconceivable.
The disciples around the arena were shocked beyond description. They only sighed and another genius slowly rose. Countless halos began to shine on Ye Feng’s body. The inner sect competition was temporarily over. Ye Feng had won the first place and was about to award the rewards.
Every year, the top five disciples of the sect would receive some rewards. I wonder what the rewards will be this year.
A mentor landed on the arena and looked at Ye Feng with admiration. Following that, several mentors landed. Their gazes towards Ye Feng were different. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some even looked at him with resentment.
“Brat, it’s not bad. It seems like I didn’t misjudge!”
Teacher Li patted Ye Feng’s shoulder with a gratified tone. He had never believed that Ye Feng would continue to be so mediocre. With his previous tenacity, one day, he would definitely soar into the sky.
“All of this is taught well by my mentor!”
Ye Feng was very grateful. When he was confused, he would go to the library to read books. Every time, Teacher Li would enlighten him, allowing Ye Feng to spend three years with great difficulty. He did not lose his passion for cultivation and desire for martial arts.
“All of this depends on your own efforts. Continue to work hard!”
Instructor Li walked to the side, and the rest were given awards by another instructor.
After winning the fifth place, he obtained a hundred spirit stones and twenty Qi Gathering Pills. The reward was not bad.
The fourth place had 200 spirit stones and 30 Qi Gathering Pills, which was a bit more than the fifth place.
At the second place, Ximen Xuri’s rewards were more generous. Five hundred spirit stones, a hundred Qi Gathering Pills, and a Purple Dragon Pill. This was a very rare medicinal pill. If consumed, it could wash the marrow, cut hair, and even raise one’s cultivation realm. It was extremely rare. Even if one had spirit stones, they might not be able to buy it.
It was Ye Feng’s turn. The mentor’s gaze fell on Ye Feng’s face. He found that no matter what happened, Ye Feng’s expression would not change. His heart was calm and he nodded in satisfaction.
“Congratulations on winning the first place!” The mentor first congratulated him.
“Thank you, mentor!” Ye Feng bowed.
“This is your reward. One thousand spirit stones, two hundred Qi Gathering Pills, one Purple Dragon Pill, and one Bone Cleansing Pill.” The mentor took out a box that contained medicinal pills. As for spirit stones, he could go to the Merit Hall to collect them.
“What? This time, the champion actually received a Bone Cleansing Pill. There wasn’t such a reward last year, right? This brat has already received it.” Amazing sighs could be heard from all around.
The Purple Dragon Pill could increase the purity of True Qi. After condensing the True Qi, it could also make the physical body much stronger. Eliminating some impurities in the physical body was a rare panacea.
The Bone Cleansing Pill was even rarer. Not only could it wash the body, it could also wash the bones. Not only was there impurities left in the body, there were also impurities in the bones. If it was not cleaned out, its strength would increase very slowly at a certain time.
This was also why everyone was shocked. The Bone Cleansing Pill was refined from a large number of spirit medicines. Each one of them was extremely precious. Some people looked at Ye Feng with a blazing expression. Some even thought that they wanted to take the Bone Cleansing Pill for themselves.
Putting the box into his arms, Ye Feng’s expression was calm. The surrounding gazes had already been seen. The corner of his mouth drew an arc. If there was really someone who did not open his eyes, then he did not care about crippling a few more people.
“Next is the time to challenge the elite disciples. Are you five willing to challenge them?”
After the rewards were given, the mentor asked the five of them. Last year, Ximen Xuri gave up on the challenge. It seemed that he would not give up this year.
The critical moment had arrived. The lower ranked elite disciples began to feel restless. No one wanted to slide down, hoping that they would not be selected.
Zhang Kun, who was ranked fifth, quickly chose an opponent. He was ranked last among the elite disciples. He shook his head helplessly and accepted the challenge. The time was set to be three days later.
It was Ximen Xuri’s turn to choose Lu Feng, who was ranked in the top 50 of the elite disciples. Legend has it that the two of them had a feud, so this challenge was normal.
Next was Ye Feng. They wanted to know what kind of opponent Ye Feng would choose. Everyone was looking forward to it. With his current strength, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to choose a disciple ranked around 60.
Ye Feng’s gaze swept across the elite disciple area before finally fixing his gaze on a skinny figure.
“I choose Cloud Stone!” Ye Feng’s voice echoed in the large square.
