Chapter 62: Blue Wind Ranking Tournament


    ?


    The next day, Yun Wuji''s group arrived at the Sword Discourse Arena of Heavenly Sword Vi.


    The arena had onerge central stage, three hundred meters in diameter, surrounded by thirty smaller circr stages, each about sixty meters wide. Typically used by the disciples for sparring, this arena also hosted the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. Today, the seats surrounding the main stage were already packed with spectators. In front of each seat was a que marking the group that upied it.


    "Look! The Frozen Cloud Immortal Pce disciples!"


    "Woah! Even with their faces covered, just their eyes show how beautiful they are!"


    "Who are those two men with them?"


    "Shh! Keep it down! My senior told me that the pressure yesterday was released by that guy." "So strong?! Why''d he do that?"


    "I heard the Vi Master stared at his wife for a few seconds, and he got pissed."


    "Shit! Why didn''t you say so earlier?!" The man who had been staring at the Frozen Cloud disciples cursed and quickly looked away.


    The moment the Frozen Cloud disciples appeared, whispers filled the air. Yet, despite their curiosity, no one dared to keep their gaze on the female disciples for too long.


    Because of a strange rumor, everyone was afraid of angering Yun Wuji.


    Ling Yuefeng had been beaten just for ncing at a woman, and even his father got dragged into the mess.


    Everyone present was far weaker than Ling Yuefeng, so none of them dared to provoke Yun Wuji.


    Although the people in this world are a bitcking in the brain department, once you hammer some truth into their heads, it tends to stick for a while.


    The pressure from yesterday sessfully cowed everyone, which prevented any cliché young master events from happening.


    The funny thing was the Xiao sect; upon seeing Yun Wuji, their expressions were hrious. They wanted to pay their respects but were also afraid of offending him. The sect master kept alternating between standing and sitting, hesitating on whether he should approach or not. ''What is this guy doing?'' many sects wondered, looking at him in confusion.


    "You overdid it yesterday," Chu Yuechan said, sitting behind the que that marked their sect''s ce.


    Yun Wuji shrugged with a smirk and teased, "I''ll be more careful next time, Your Highness ~" Yesterday, he was only messing around when he said he wanted her topensate him. He never expected her to actually go through with it, especially with her sister. As expected, life needs a little spice from time to time.


    Chu Yuechan blushed at the memory of yesterday and pouted, "You only know how to tease me, hmph!"


    "Don''t worry, Your Highness, I''ll protect you," Chu Yueli teased from Yun Wuji''s left. Leaning against his shoulder, she whispered seductively, "I''ll satisfy you with my body. Please, forgive Her Highness ~"


    "Hehehe~ that depends on your performance," Yun Wuji chuckled sinisterly, cing his hand on her thigh.


    "You two!" Chu Yuechan couldn''t take it anymore and pinched Wuji''s waist.


    Yun Wuji hissed in pain and muttered under his breath, "Ouch! Why only me?!"


    Cang Yue stood behind them, watching the trio with a quiet sigh. In her mind, she thought, ''It should''ve been me, not them!''


    She also wanted to do some role y with her master other than the ''Overbearing Master and Clueless Maid'' y or ''The Cold Head Maid and Abandoned Young Master'' y.


    ''...'' Mu Lingxue, Shui Wushuang, and Wu Xuexin lowered their heads and sat silently, pretending they didn''t see or hear anything.


    ''Sigh, when can I grow older too?!'' Xia Qingyue sighed, ncing at her figure.


    Suddenly, a loud screeching of swords echoed through the air. Everyone instinctively looked up to see a hundred swords hovering about three hundred meters above them, dancing as if alive. The sharp sounds shattered the silence, and after circling for a few moments, the swords arranged themselves neatly above the main seat. A white-bearded elder emerged below them, cupping his fists as he addressed the crowd. "I am Elder Ling Wugou from the Sword Baptizing Pavilion of Heavenly Sword Vi. I''m d to meet all the heroes and outstanding youths today. On behalf of our Vi, I thank you for attending the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament..."


    After some pre-match briefings, Ling Wugou coughed and inadvertently nced at the Frozen Cloud seats. "Now, let this old man dere the prize for this Ranking Tournament."


    "Third ce in the individual rankings will receive one ''Purple Striped Dragon Heart Pellet.'' Second ce will receive three drops of ''Purple Veined Marrow Quenching Fluid.'' First ce will receive a ''Purple Dragon Ascension Pellet.""


    "The rewards this time are generouspared to the previous tournament," hearing him, Mu Lingxue said. She was someone who participated in the previouspetition and took third ce.


    "Yes, however,pared to the pills Guardian Wuji gave us, it is somewhatcking," Shui Wushuang nodded in agreement and added. The resources Yun Wuji provided them were of much higher quality and quantity than these rewards.


    "Hmm! Senior Yun Wuji is too good to us," Wu Xuexin nodded vigorously, ncing at him. Her face flushed red when their eyes met. Yun Wuji had stuffed them with pills, but she wished he would stuff them with something else.


    Something long, thick, and hard...


    Ling Wugou''s deration continued: "The top ten forces in the ranking tournament will qualify to explore the ''Heaven Basin Secret Realm'' in teams after the tournament."


    "The time hase. Now, this old man deres: this session of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament officially begins!" Ling Wugounded in the center of the Sword Discourse Arena, where a gigantic Profound Assessing Stone already stood in ce.


    "This session''s Ranking Tournament includes a total of five hundred and thirteen sects and one thousand five hundred and thirty-five participating disciples. Participants must be aged between sixteen and twenty; those outside this range will be disqualified. We will begin the lot drawing. Each disciple must undergo an age and profound strength assessment before drawing their number. Now, those called by this old man, step forward for your assessments and lot drawing."


    "Webnovel sect''s Exyb, Ronin46, EnavoiG"


    The three disciples called by Ling Wugou immediately stepped down from their seats and ced their palms on the Profound Assessing Stone one by one. Their ages were revealed as 20, 18, and 20, with profound strength ranks of Spirit Profound Realm rank 6, rank 3, and rank 5, respectively. After drawing their Ranking Tournament numbers, they returned to their


    seats.


    "Heaven Exploding Faction'' Siegfrid, KenTheyer, Solgo"


    ...


    "Frozen Cloud Immortal Pce''s Mu Lingxue, Shui Wushuang, and Wu Xuexin!"


    The moment the name "Frozen Cloud Immortal Pce" was announced, the entire audience


    fell silent once more.


    Everyone''s attention was on them.


    Shui Wushuang was the first to ce her palm on the Profound Assessing Stone. The stone glowed, and the result was revealed.


    Shui Wushuang —— 17 years old -- Spirit Profound Realm level nine.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ||||


    "Impossible!"


    "Seventeen years old at the ninth level? The strongest in the Xiao sect and Heaven Burning


    n are also at the ninth level, but they''re twenty!"


    "Sigh! The Frozen Cloud is destined to dominate the empire. They have a powerful expert guarding them, and their younger generation is outstanding. It''s only a matter of time before


    they take over."


    In that instant, the audience fell silent for three full seconds. Then, suddenly, a wave of exmations erupted. Both old and young members of the audience, including Xuanyuan Yufeng, sprang to their feet, staring at the results disyed by the Profound Assessing Stone with astonished expressions.


    It is worth mentioning that didn''t Ling Yuefeng preside over this tournament, under the guise of ''taking care of his injured father''; it is his wife who took this role this time.


    Probably he was too ashamed or perhaps afraid.


    She nced at the Frozen Cloud''s seat, her eyes fixated on Chu Yuechan. Gritting her teeth,


    she then turned her gaze to Yun Wuji, her expression a mix of emotions.


    Following Shui Wushuang was Wu Xuexin.


    Wu Xuexin — 17 years old - Spirit Profound Realm level nine.


    "Another one!"


    Themotion this time was mild; people had already expected this after Shui Wushuang''s


    appearance.


    Finally, it was Mu Lingxue''s turn.


    Mu Lingxue 20 years old - Earth Profound Realm level two.


    "Fuck!"


    "I still remember she was only at the 5th level of Spirit Profound Realm in thest


    tournament. How did she improve so fast?!"


    "Could it be because of that man?"


    The audience had just calmed down from the previous shock when another wave of


    exmations erupted.


    Mu Lingxue slowly removed her hand from the Profound Assessing Stone and walked away, followed by Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin. They paid no mind to the noise surrounding them, which sounded like roaring tidal waves.


    Many youngsters who were eager to show off in front of thedies lowered their heads in shame; they felt too inferior to them.
