Chương 777: Chapter 739: Bye (Please Subscribe)_1

After Xu Sheng left the arena, he returned to Yun Cong and the others, folding his arms as he watched the disciples compete on the other stages...

"Look at Elder Brother Mo, he's so cool!! He doesn't make a move until he does, and the moment he strikes, he instantly defeats his opponent!"

"Truly terrifying, Elder Brother Mo from Hidden Sword Peak has made progress in his cultivation level again, reaching the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core! Could it be that he will take the lead in this Five Peaks Grand Tournament as well?"

"Of course, there's no one in the Five Peaks Grand Tournament who can contend with Elder Brother Mo Li! Although the core disciples from other peaks have also joined the tournament, the gap is quite significant!"

Xu Sheng's gaze then shifted to the "Mo Li" mentioned by these disciples. His opponent was a ninth layer Foundation Establishment female disciple from Miao Miao Peak!

From the beginning, he was avoiding the attacks of his opponent, seemingly giving the female disciple some face. When he felt that enough time had passed, he used just one move to defeat her!

However, after defeating his opponent, Mo Li did not swiftly leave; instead, he extended a gentle hand towards the girl lying on the ground, softly saying, "Junior Sister, are you hurt?"

With his already handsome features, combined with an elegant and amiable aura, he was incredibly attractive to the majority of the female disciples!

The cheeks of the Miao Miao Peak female disciple flushed a bit. She grasped Mo Li's hand to stand up and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Elder Brother Mo, for holding back!"

Seeing that the duel had ended, the Enforcement Hall Elder in charge announced loudly, "Hidden Sword Peak, Mo Li, wins!!"

Xu Sheng, who was observing all this, let his eyes flicker quietly for a few moments, thinking secretly, "How strong. Is this the person who emerged as the strongest in the last Five Peaks Grand Tournament? His strength is indeed much greater than that of core disciples from the other peaks!"

Moreover, from his actions, it was clear that Mo Li was not the rash type; on the contrary, he fought with great intellect!

This kind of opponent was much more troublesome than simple brutes like Feng Ruochen!

Yun Cong, noticing that Xu Sheng's gaze was fixed on Mo Li, spoke out, "Junior Brother Xu, this Mo Li's strength is really strong, almost catching up with our third sister! If your goal is to come out on top, he will be your biggest obstacle!"

Xu Sheng nodded in agreement, "Mm! I can feel it, he is much stronger than the other Golden Core stage core disciples!"

Mu Yun then seriously reminded him, "Junior Brother Xu, although this Mo Li is the strongest in the Five Peaks Grand Tournament, don't underestimate the others. Your easy victory over Feng Ruochen must have been related to his personality!"

Thinking that the other Golden Core stage core disciples would be easy to handle after defeating Feng Ruochen would be a huge mistake!

Hearing this, Mo Qingyue unusually seriously said, "Second Brother is right. Those who can become core disciples all have talents and strength that cannot be ignored! Never be careless."

Xu Sheng smiled lightly, "Don't worry, Elder Sister Mo, I won't underestimate anyone!"

With that said, he continued to watch the battling disciples...

...

After a few more hours of selection, only twenty-one disciples including Xu Sheng remained out of the several hundred who participated in the Five Peaks Grand Tournament!

After discussing with the Enforcement Hall Elder, the Sect Master, and various Peak Masters, it was decided to implement a bye system!

The Enforcement Hall Elder at the forefront took a deep breath and announced loudly, "After deliberation with the Enforcement Hall and the Sect Master, because we still have twenty-one disciples left, there will be a drawing of lots. The disciple who draws the bye will skip the round and directly advance to the top eight!"

Such an announcement did not cause any discontent as it had been within the expectations of the Xuantian Sect disciples...

"Mm, a bye is quite normal, after all, having an extra person makes the dueling process much more complicated!"

"Really don't know who'll hit the jackpot this time, getting a bye means going straight into the top eight!"

"You're right, you're right, and you can even keep as much of your strength hidden as possible, a bye really does have a lot of advantages!"

"Hahaha, although that's what's said, if Elder Brother Mo Li got it, wouldn't it be the same as not getting it at all?"

Sitting in his seat, Mu Qingge turned to an Enforcement Hall Elder beside him and said, "Let's start the draw!"

One of the Enforcement Hall Elders nodded, then walked over to the draw cylinder that had already been prepared, reaching inside...

He quickly grabbed one of the draw tickets and lifted it, and when he clearly saw the name engraved on it, a look of surprise flickered in his eyes...

A few seconds later, he came back to his senses and shouted to the crowd below, "The disciple who has drawn a bye is from Tianlan Peak, Xu Sheng!"

Xu Sheng, whose name had just been called, narrowed his eyes in surprise and said, "Huh? I got a bye?"

Could this mean that even destiny was helping him?

Getting a bye would indeed allow him to reveal less of his tactics!

Mu Yun, beside him, said excitedly, "Not bad, Junior Brother Xu! I was just wondering if it would be possible to draw you, and it actually happened!"

Yun Cong spared no praise, saying, "It seems our Junior Brother Xu doesn't just have great talent and high intelligence, but even his luck is incomparable to others!"

Mo Qingyue spread her hands helplessly and said, "I guess the disciples from the other peaks must be fainting with envy!"

Just like she said, the disciples from Tianlan Peak were elated, while disciples from the other peaks were filled with resentment...

One of the male disciples covered his forehead in disbelief and said, "My God, how could Xu Sheng from Tianlan Peak be drawn! This guy's luck is just too good!"

A disciple beside him looked skeptical and said, "Could it be that Tianlan Peak has pulled some strings? This guy's luck is so good? First, Elder Brother Feng is not in good shape, and then he gets a bye, why not just get the championship by a fluke?"

But there were also some disciples who thought that Xu Sheng drawing a bye wasn't important at all, as his strength would sooner or later be overshadowed!

"Psh, let him get into the top eight then, but don't forget that in the final confrontation, he will be the only one at the Foundation Establishment level, he's going to lose face big time!"

"Exactly, exactly, who would take someone who got into the top eight by luck seriously?"

"This Xu Sheng will just be a foil later on! Winning the championship, don't make me laugh!! If he can withstand a single move from Elder Brother Mo Li, I'll chop off..."

The Enforcement Hall Elder saw the atmosphere getting a bit chaotic, cleared his throat, and announced, "Cough cough, everyone quiet down! Aside from the disciple who just drew a bye, the rest of the disciples, with no assigned battles, are to enter the same arena and fight whoever they encounter! As for those who didn't secure a spot in the ring, wait until the end to continue..."

After these words, the twenty disciples, excluding Xu Sheng, burst forth with astonishing speed towards the arenas ahead...

They all naturally didn't want to face Mo Li at the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core stage too early!

Immediately following the simple confirmation of their opponents, the battles to advance into the top eight began under the command of the Enforcement Hall Elder!
