Capítulo 782: Chapter 744: Battling Gu Linruo (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Upon hearing the verdict of victory and defeat from the Enforcement Hall Elder, the silent atmosphere of the back mountain was finally broken by a noisy clamor!

One of the Hidden Sword Peak disciples rubbed his eyes in astonishment and exclaimed, "Holy moly! This guy actually beat Senior Brother Liu Mo who used Beast Transformation. Could I be seeing things?"

Another Miao Miao Peak female disciple pointed at Liu Mo, who lay outside the ring, and taunted, "Seeing things? Just look over there! Senior Brother Liu Mo now looks like a defeated dog! To think he was beaten to such a state by a newly advanced disciple at Foundation Establishment Seventh Level!"

Hearing this, a disciple from Medicine Imperial Peak angrily retorted, "Foundation Establishment Seventh Level, are you an idiot? Didn't you see that Xu Sheng's cultivation level rose to Nascent Soul Stage just now? That's equivalent to the strength of a Sect Master!!"

"Exactly! If Xu Sheng hadn't resorted to such despicable tactics, our Senior Brother Liu Mo would have never lost!"

A male disciple from Luoqing Peak curved his mouth into an arc, sneering, "A loss is a loss, all else is just sophistry. You allow your Senior Brother Liu Mo to use Beast Transformation, so why can't others use martial techniques to enhance their strength? What a joke!"

Even the majority of female disciples from Miao Miao Peak began shouting... "Xu Sheng!! Xu Sheng!!! Xu Sheng!!"

"Junior Brother Xu, I love you! I want to have your monkey babies!"

"Junior Brother Xu!! After you take the lead in the five peaks competition, how about coming to be my partner!"

And Mo Li, standing outside the ring, finally took a breath of relief in his heart after seeing Xu Sheng's cultivation level restored to Foundation Establishment Seventh Level...

For a moment there, he really thought Xu Sheng was a Nascent Soul powerhouse. Now it seems he's nothing special, just someone who used a martial technique that temporarily boosted his cultivation level!

Immediately, his eyes shot a glance at the Miao Miao Peak female disciples cheering for Xu Sheng, and a dark glint surreptitiously flashed through his eyes, "Xu Sheng, I'll show you the gap between Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage!"

While the whole scene was noisy, the Enforcement Hall Elder sighed helplessly and shouted, "All Xuantian Sect disciples, be silent!!

After his resounding words fell, the back mountain finally quieted down...

He coughed once and continued, "Ahem... After another round of selection, the main peak that ended up at the bottom in the five peaks competition has been determined to be Medicine Imperial Peak, and the other four victorious disciples will decide the subsequent main peak rankings!"

The reason being, the remaining four disciples each belonged to Tianlan Peak, Miao Miao Peak, Hidden Sword Peak, and Luoqing Peak!

After a pause, he spoke again, "Now please, the four disciples, recover your spiritual power quickly. The contest will continue in half an hour!"

Hearing these words, the four disciples who had just finished battling and were completely exhausted, all sat down cross-legged and began to recover their spiritual power on the spot!

...

Sitting at his place, the Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak sighed, "Who would have thought that this time we'd end up at the bottom!"

It was indeed shameful, to be defeated by a disciple at Foundation Establishment Seventh Level even after using Beast Transformation!

Beside him, Ling Luoyan chuckled soothingly, "Junior brother, you shouldn't care about these things, right? Besides, Medicine Imperial Peak has never been known for its prowess in battles!"

The Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak responded non-committally, "That's easy to say, but it actually feels quite unpleasant to be at the bottom! Junior Sister Yun, how do you endure it?"

Yun Churan glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and calmly replied, "These rankings are but a vain reputation, it's better to ignore them!"

Hearing this, the corners of the Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak's mouth twitched, and he didn't ask further...

Meanwhile, Luo Qingyang seemed to think of something and looked at the person next to him, Muhuan, teasingly, "Mu Senior Brother, Xu Sheng making it to the top four at least means that you've lost the bet!"

Muhuan's face turned a bit red as he muttered, "My bet was that Tianlan Peak would finish last, and Junior Sister Yun bet that Xu Sheng would come out on top! This equally means that though I lost, she hasn't won either!"

Ling Luoyan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Mu Senior Brother, that's somewhat underhanded of you!"

Muhuan raised his eyebrows in rebuttal, "Junior Sister Ling, what you're saying is not right. How could I possibly act unfairly? If you don't believe me, ask the Sect Master. Is this matter not justified?"

The straightforward Peak Master of Medicine Imperial Peak inquired, "Sect Master! What do you think?"

The other three Peak Masters also turned their gazes towards Mu Qingge...

Only to see the latter slowly closing his eyes, stating, "Muhuan's words are not without reason. He indeed lost, but Junior Sister Yun did not win either! If Xu Sheng cannot emerge as the champion, this bet shall be deemed invalid!"

...

And so, after an hour, the Enforcement Hall Elder stood up once again and declared on time, "One hour has passed! Please, the four disciples, stop restoring your spiritual power and prepare for the duel!!"

"Tianlan Peak: Xu Sheng versus Miao Miao Peak: Gu Linruo"

"Hidden Sword Peak: Mo Li versus Luoqing Peak: Ruan Shuchen!"

Including Xu Sheng, the four disciples all came back to their senses from their meditation and walked towards the arena where they would face their duels!

Below, the disciples who had become almost drowsy with sleepiness were rousing each other...

"Don't sleep anymore, don't sleep! The duel is about to start!!"

"Look, Senior Brother Mo Li actually didn't end up facing Xu Sheng! He's lucky!"

"Lucky? His opponent, Senior Sister Gu Linruo, is at the third level of the Golden Core Stage! She's also a formidable opponent!"

"Who would have thought Senior Brother Mo Li would actually face Senior Brother Ruan Shuchen? The outcome seems all but decided!"

"Indeed, the difference of three levels in their realms is hard to bridge. Trying to close that gap is nearly as difficult as ascending to the heavens!"

On the platform, Xu Sheng's eyes were directed at the woman before him!

There stood Gu Linruo wearing an ethereal light blue robe that overflowed with a celestial aura, her slightly curled hair cascading down, and her captivating features as though carved by the hands of God himself. Moreover, around her neck hung a necklace with a faintly gleaming sapphire, adding a touch of exquisite beauty to her...

A flash of admiration passed through Xu Sheng's eyes as he lightly smiled and said, "I had not anticipated a duel against such a beautiful senior sister, I'm truly a bit excited."

Gu Linruo, with her amber-like fine Beautiful Eyes, showed a hint of surprise. Her tone was very pleased as she responded, "Junior Brother Xu, you really have a sweet tongue, but I won't go easy on you just because of a sentence or two!"

In her heart, she thought to herself, "This Junior Brother Xu is quite peculiar! The way he looks at me is completely different from the other male disciples."

It indeed piqued her curiosity...

After her words fell, she immediately tightened her grip on the sky-blue Personal Sword in her hand, which blended perfectly with her temperament...

Xu Sheng's dark eyes also twinkled a few times as he spoke unflinchingly, "If Senior Sister cannot afford to be merciful, then it seems I must be extremely vigilant!"

Once the four disciples were ready, the Enforcement Hall Elder announced loudly, "Begin the duel!!!!"
