223: C223 The Selection

C223 The Selection

When Lin Yue returned from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods with Seven Colors, there were only less than three days left until the Heavenly Tao Sect disciple selection competition.

This time in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Lin Yue had killed dozens of Second Grade high rank spirit beasts, and he had given most of the Beast Pill to them.

He made another trip to the Yu Family Villa and gave Lee Shangwu a second cleansing session. He also left him some Pill before returning to the Heavenly Tao Sect.

On the third day, he went straight to the sect's martial arts field.

At this time, more and more people were flying towards him.

Although he was only selecting disciples from the Star Ranking, it was rare to see these disciples sparring with each other.

Most of the disciples who had nothing to do rushed over to take a look.

Soon, it was the appointed time. A grey figure slowly flew towards them.

"It's Elder Daoxu!" Someone exclaimed.

Elder Daoxu had a very high reputation among the elders, and he was very popular among the disciples.

At this moment, Yu Chenjian appeared in the sky and floated over.

"It's Eldest Brother!" This time, the voices were even louder than when they saw Daoxu.

Yu Chenjian was a proud disciple of the Heavenly Tao Sect, and as the champion of the previous competition, he naturally had many admirers.

Daoxu slightly frowned. It wasn't because Yu Chenjian's cheers were higher than his, but because Yu Chenjian had appeared even later than him, and had even publicly appeared in the sky above the martial arena. This was too much of a show.

Yu Chenjian had a carefree look on his face. He smiled at the disciples and sat in the front seat.

Daoxu did not say anything to him. After all, he was the disciple of the Sect Master. He had been in the limelight all these years, so it was inevitable that he would feel proud of himself.

There were a total of fifty disciples participating in the registration this time, but only twenty of them were required.

The real reason why they didn't choose the top twenty disciples directly according to the registration form was that some of the disciples on the Star Ranking hadn't been challenged in four or five years, or even in nearly ten years.

Their strength and the position on the Star Ranking didn't completely match.

Therefore, this kind of sparring competition was equivalent to giving the Star Ranking a new position.

As there were not many people, they went straight up to the Dao Seeking Stage to compete.

The method of the competition was not to draw lots one on one, but to pass the initiative challenge.

Elder Daoxu arranged the names of the fifty registered disciples according to their positions on the Star Ranking, and used their spiritual energy to form a huge ranking in the sky.

The first place was Mu Qingyuv, and the second place was Shangguan Chen. The fiftieth place was called Mo Qingcheng.

Lin Yue took a look and saw that he was ranked 35th. Before this, he was ranked 40th on the Star Ranking. This meant that other than Yu Chenjian, there were four other people who had yet to register for the top 40 places on the Star Ranking.

If no one challenged him, he would let the top 20 of the ranking list participate in the competition between the three sects.

As devil pets were not allowed to participate in the competition, the selection this time was also not allowed.

No one would challenge Mu Qingyuv, Shangguan Chen, and the others. Their goal was to enter the top 20, so most of their eyes were fixed on a person named Tai Ming.

As the 20th on the list, Tai Ming naturally felt the gazes of everyone. He sneered and was very confident.

"Senior Brother Tai, I have offended you. I want to challenge you." A man flew onto the forum stage and said with a clear voice.

Tai Ming immediately flew up and did not waste any time. He slightly cupped his hands, and after the restrictions on the forum stage were activated, the two of them began to fight fiercely.

Lin Yue was watching from the side. He was not in a hurry. He would let them challenge him first. In the end, he would challenge the weakest one.

This way, the success rate would be higher, and it would save him a lot of trouble.

No fool would challenge Mu Qingyuv or Shangguan Chen.

The two people on the stage quickly came to a conclusion. Tai Ming was still better than them.

There were people who continued to challenge Tai Ming, but they were all defeated.

Lin Yue blinked his eyes. This Tai Ming's combat strength was very strong, and it wasn't easy to deal with him.

"It should have been seven or eight years since senior disciple Taiming fought openly, but his combat strength is actually so powerful." The audience below the stage started discussing amongst themselves.

"I feel that his strength should be able to rank in the top fifteen among these people. Being ranked in the twentieth place is somewhat unfair to him." Someone said.

Following this, the disciples who had registered also became smarter. They directly challenged the 19th and 18th places, and some of them actually succeeded.

Gradually, no one went up to challenge anymore.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Daoxu asked.

"I want to challenge the eighteenth place, senior disciple Liu." Lin Yue said and jumped onto the forum stage.

The eighteenth ranked disciple was the one who succeeded in the challenge just now. His combat strength was slightly weaker than Tai Ming's.

Daoxu had already seen Lin Yue, so it wasn't surprising for him to see him now.

The disciples below the stage cheered. Some of them had been saved by Lin Yue before, and were spared from being sucked dry of blood by the Devil Clan. They were his loyal supporters.

All these years, Lin Yue's name had become very famous.

However, what was unbelievable was that he had actually grown to such an extent in such a short period of time after entering the sect.

Previously, he was ranked 40th on the Star Ranking. Now, he was challenging Senior Brother Liu. Wasn't he being overly confident?

"He does have a good eye. He can tell that Junior Brother Liu is the weakest among the top 20." Yu Chenjian laughed lightly, "But even so, it's still very difficult to succeed."

"Eldest Brother is right." Next to him was Dong Lin, who had once lost to Lin Yue. "All these years, when you weren't in the sect, he revealed himself. He is very proud of himself."

When Dong Lin was defeated by Lin Yue with three strikes, it was considered the ultimate disgrace of his life.

He had forgotten that if Lin Yue hadn't shown mercy, his meridians would have broken and he would have been seriously injured.

"His talent is really good. At such a young age, he has already reached the Peak of Star-treading Stage." Yu Chenjian said.

"Even so, he is still far away from Eldest Brother." Dong Lin said.

Currently, Yu Chenjian was only a hair's breadth away from the Spiritual Infant Stage. As long as the time was right, he would be able to form his Nascent Soul and break through.

Yu Chenjian didn't say anything, but he was enjoying it in his heart. He looked at the forum stage.

At this moment, the seal on the stage had begun. Lin Yue and Senior Brother Liu cupped their hands towards each other.

A long sword appeared in Senior Brother Liu's hand. He turned his wrist and a cold light flashed.

Lin Yue held the Residual Sword in his hand and did not move.

"Watch my move!" Senior disciple Liu flew up and raised his long sword. With a bright light, he slashed down heavily!

Some of them were worried for Lin Yue when they saw that Lin Yue was still not moving and was about to be hit by the sword Qi.

However, in the next moment, Lin Yue moved and appeared in front of senior disciple Liu.

Senior Brother Liu was standing in the place where Lin Yue was just now. The two of them exchanged positions with each other through this move.

Most of them were puzzled as to why the two of them stopped fighting.

Yu Chenjian's eyes narrowed, and he became even more surprised.

He could clearly see that as Lin Yue moved, the Residual Sword in his hand was thrust out at the same time, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

There was a small hole in front of Senior Brother Liu's chest. If one looked closely, they wouldn't be able to find it.

Senior Brother Liu was silent for a moment, then he put away the long sword, "I lost!"

After saying that, he flew away on his sword without looking back.

The audience was in an uproar. They did not expect that after just one move, the outcome would be decided!

Daoxu looked at Lin Yue with a praising look. This fighting spirit and speed had already reached the highest level of Star-treading Stage.

Mu Qingyuv and the others naturally saw the mystery behind it, and they looked at Lin Yue even more highly.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Daoxu asked again.

A green figure appeared on the forum stage, "I want to challenge senior disciple Tai Ming."

Lin Yue looked at her and blinked.

This girl was none other than Mo Qingcheng.

She and Lin Yue entered the Heavenly Tao Sect at the same time and joined Daoxu's sect.

When Lin Yue saw her, he was also very surprised. He didn't expect her cultivation speed to be so shocking that she had already stepped into the Star Ranking.

Now that she still wanted to challenge Tai Ming, she must have the confidence to do so.

Mo Qingcheng's reputation had been greatly boosted over the past few years because she was a Water Spiritual Root. She could freely control the power of water.

Being able to climb the Star Ranking was naturally within her expectations.

In addition to Mo Qingcheng's beautiful appearance, there were naturally many suitors.

It was just that her personality was too cold, and she directly rejected the suitors. This gave her the title of an iceberg beauty.

A few years ago, Lin Yue had been in the Yin Corpse Pavilion. Later, he returned to the Heavenly Tao Sect. Most of the time, he went into seclusion in the Qingyue Peak to cultivate. He didn't know much about the various matters in the sect.

"Cheng'er, put down the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox. You can't bring any demon pets with you during the competition." Daoxu said.

Mo Qingcheng hugged the little fox and said helplessly, "Master, she's too clingy."

"That is also not allowed. This is the rule of the sect. You cannot bring your demon pet to compete." Daoxu said directly.

Mo Qingcheng touched the little fox's head and looked around. She then looked at Lin Yue.

Back then, this Nine-tailed Spirit Fox was given to her by the female cultivator of the Poison Sect, Young Lord and Gongsun Nih.

With a thought, her beautiful figure flashed and appeared in front of Lin Yue.1

"Can you help me look at her for a while?" Mo Qingcheng said. As she spoke, there was still a trace of coldness in her voice.

Even though she was begging, her tone was also so cold.

"No problem. I didn't expect this little guy to have grown so big." Lin Yue said.

The Nine-tailed Spirit Fox rolled its eyes and seemed to recognize Lin Yue. It shook its tail and flew into Lin Yue's arms.

Everyone was envious and jealous. Mo Qingcheng's little fox was famous for being clingy and would not let men touch her.

Today, they did not expect her to throw herself into Lin Yue's arms. Comparisons were really infuriating!

"Thank you." Mo Qingcheng said and flew back to the forum stage.

Taiming also flew up. He had long heard of this beautiful junior sister in front of him. He did not expect that she would actually challenge him today.

After the two of them bowed and paid their respects, they immediately attacked.

In a moment, the two of them had already exchanged thousands of blows. Finally, Mo Qingcheng summoned a water dragon and defeated Taiming.

Elder Daoxu was naturally very happy when he saw that his disciple had won.

Taiming was a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was not as good as his disciple.

After that, a few more people continued to challenge, but none of them succeeded. The quota was finally decided.

The sect naturally took great care of these twenty people. They wanted to bring them into the sect's small world to cultivate.
