Double First Place! Liu Yunxi Challenges Chu Wan'er!

Hua!

At that moment, before the Pill Gathering, the crowd who had recovered from their shock finally snapped out of it, and a clamor erupted!

Two dark horses had emerged in this Pill Competition!?

Originally, Liu Yunxi's forceful surpassing of Wen Yuyan was already astonishing enough.

Who would have thought that Ye Xuan of the Violet Firmament Sect would be even stronger!?

But many people had never even heard of Ye Xuan's name before.

"Impossible, why should Ye Xuan be the champion?"

"He cheated!"

At that moment, Liu Yunxi, who had finally recovered, roared with a distorted expression.

She couldn't accept this result. Why was Ye Xuan above her?

Moreover, wouldn't her words in public just now become a laughingstock?

Where was her face!?

"Hehe, Liu Yunxi, even now, you're still not convinced?"

"You probably don't know yet, but the superior-grade Essence Nurturing Pill from my Hundred Herbs Pill House was refined by Ye Xuan!"

"This is the second time you've lost to Ye Xuan!"

Lin Churan didn't forget to strike a fatal blow at this moment.

"What did you say?"

Liu Yunxi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

The previous superior-grade Essence Nurturing Pill came from Ye Xuan's hands, so wouldn't that mean Ye Xuan also possessed a Second-Grade Exotic Fire!?

He couldn't cultivate, yet he possessed an Exotic Fire. Why didn't he say so sooner!?

At the same time, before the Artifact Gathering.

"Fei'er, that's all of your father's private savings! You bet it all on Ye Xuan?"

In the crowd, Tianyun City Lord Nangong Shou wailed incessantly.

"That's right, what's wrong, are you reluctant?" Nangong Fei said with her arms crossed, not caring at all.

"You're really crazy. Who doesn't know that the Artifact Competition champion is already in Ji Fengliu's pocket? Who can compete with him, who dares to compete with him!?"

"That's your father's private savings, but you don't feel bad at all!" Nangong Shou covered his face. "Do you know how hard it was for your father to save these spirit stones behind your mother's back?"

"Aiya, Father, stop nagging. Betting on Ye Xuan is one to twenty. If you win, it's all yours. I don't want it!" Nangong Fei waved her hand, staring intently at the light screen that was slowly emerging in front of the Artifact Gathering building.

"Win!?"

"Why would he win against Ji Fengliu? He..."

But at this moment, Nangong Shou suddenly noticed that the sound of gasps around him had risen sharply, and then he followed the crowd's gaze towards the Artifact Gathering.

The next moment, his whole body was struck by lightning.

The rankings had already appeared. Lin Tian Sword Sect's Holy Son Ji Fengliu was actually ranked second, and the top spot was none other than Ye Xuan of the Violet Firmament Sect!?

"I, I didn't see it wrong, did I?"

Nangong Shou even rubbed his eyes hard.

"That's right, Ye Xuan won!"

"I've never lost a bet. He's really amazing!" Nangong Fei said with a smile, arms crossed.

Ye Xuan was Xuan Ye, so today's Sect Assembly was really getting more and more interesting!

"Hahaha, I made a profit, this time I really made a big profit!" Nangong Shou even danced and went to the betting table to get spirit stones.

At this time, Sword Sect's Holy Son Ji Fengliu walked out holding a brand new silver streamer longsword.

He glanced at the rankings, only frowned slightly, and did not lose his composure.

Immediately, his gaze fell, and he saw Ye Xuan walking out of the Artifact Gathering.

The two's gazes met, but Ye Xuan just smiled faintly, then looked away and went straight to the main venue with Chu Wan'er.

Now that he had won the Pill and Artifact Competitions, the Violet Firmament Sect would receive resource support from the Cloud Palace Academy.

"Senior Brother!"

"Fengliu!"

"What's the situation?"

At this time, Wen Yuyan and the Lin Tian Sword Sect Sect Master also came over.

They had been at the Pill Gathering before, because the Artifact Competition was what they were most confident in, but they didn't expect that Ji Fengliu would actually lose the Artifact Competition!

It should be known that Ji Fengliu's artifact forging skills had been praised and guided by the Cloud Palace Academy and the Artifact Gathering Master, how could he lose?

"Extreme Thunder Sword?"

But Ji Fengliu looked at the weapons Ye Xuan had refined on the list and whispered.

"It's fine, losing the weapon competition is no big deal, at least the Sword Sect still has a champion."

After a long while, Ji Fengliu smiled faintly.

He didn't care that much about weapon refinement.

"Senior brother, I also lost the Pills competition championship…" Wen Yuyan pouted, disappointed.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, Ji Fengliu's eyes turned cold, "Who took it?"

"Ye Xuan." Wen Yuyan lowered her head.

"Ye Xuan?!"

Ji Fengliu was stunned, even wondering if he had misheard.

Didn't that Ye Xuan just win the weapon competition championship?

Could it be that he also knows the art of cloning?

"Fengliu, that Ye Xuan doesn't know what method he used, he participated in the Pills competition first, and only used an hour to refine the Pills, and then came to the weapon competition!"

The Sect Leader of Lin Tian Sword Sect frowned, he even suspected that Ye Xuan had cheated.

"In other words, he used half the time to defeat me in weapon refinement?"

Ji Fengliu's pupils shrank, and the indifference on his face finally changed significantly.

He could accept his failure in weapon refinement, but he could never accept being crushed!

Central Square of Tianxuan City.

The main venue of the Barren Continent Sect Assembly was already packed with people.

As the most grand event in the Barren Continent, almost all the large and small forces from the four regions were present, with hundreds of thousands of cultivators surrounding the square.

But at this time, the news of the end of the Pills competition and the weapon competition spread to the venue, causing a wave of doubt.

On the thousand-foot-high platform in the distance of the venue, a young man wearing white-gold armor was sitting on the main seat, surrounded by beautiful maids and guarded by armored soldiers. The cultivation of the armored soldiers was all above the Myriad Manifestation Realm.

And the Lord of the Barren Continent, Region Marquis Qi Chuan, could only accompany him in the lower seat.

At this time, an old man came behind the young man and whispered a few words, and the young man's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

"What did you say? Fengliu lost?"

"Who did he lose to?"

The young man asked in confusion.

"Reporting to the young master, it is a Holy Son from the Northern Region Violet Firmament Sect, named Ye Xuan!" the old man replied.

"Moreover, this person not only won against Young Master Ji, but also won the Pills competition championship!" the old man added.

"What!? You mean, this person is a double champion?"

The young man's expression changed slightly, and a flash of anger flashed in his cold eyes.

In this way, wouldn't the resources that Cloud Palace Academy gave to Lin Tian Sword Sect be snatched away!?

"Hehe, Marquis Qi, I didn't expect your Barren Continent to be small, but there are quite a few interesting people!"

Immediately, the young man looked at Qi Chuan in the lower seat, and said with a fake smile.

"Ah, Young Master Xuan Zhou, I just found out too!"

Qi Chuan was even more depressed at this time.

He knew that the Sect Xiao Chengfeng was in this time wanted to replace Violet Firmament Sect as a first-rate Sect, but now this Violet Firmament Sect is rising one after another!?

Yesterday, Ye Xuan had already amazed the audience in front of the Inquiry Stele.

Today, he even won two championships alone!

He faintly had a bad feeling.

But if Xiao Chengfeng loses today, how should he explain to Master Ji!

"Hmph, you better not know!"

The young man snorted coldly and closed his eyes again.

At this time, the cultivators from the major top Sects also entered the arena one after another.

As first-rate Sects, Lin Tian Sword Sect, Cloud-Leaving Monastery, Ba Yue Mountain, and Violet Firmament Sect were all seated on the second-highest platform.

Below them were dozens of second-rate Sects from the four regions.

Therefore, when the cultivators of Azure Mist Sect entered the arena and took their seats, they had to look up to see Violet Firmament Sect!

Second-rate Sects are still inferior to others after all!

Liu Yunxi sat beside Xiao Chengfeng, her face as gloomy as a frigid pool.

Although she had defeated Wen Yuyan in the Pill Competition and secured second place, she had suffered utter humiliation.

Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er, sitting together on the second platform, were like a thorn in her side!

"Yunxi, I will avenge you!"

"Soon, we'll be on the second platform, forcing them to look up to us!"

Xiao Chengfeng's face was tense, his words laced with anger.

At this moment, Qi Chuan on the first platform slowly rose.

"Ahem, now that the cultivators of the Northern Region Sects are all present, the Sect Assembly shall commence!"

As the assembly bell echoed through the heavens and earth, the entire venue fell silent.

"Before the assembly begins, I would like to introduce to you all, the chief arbiter of this Barren Continent Sect Assembly, Young Master Xuan Zhou, the top disciple of Cloud Palace Academy!"

As Qi Chuan's voice faded, Xuan Zhou, seated in the main seat, merely opened his eyes, waved his hand, and continued to close them in rest.

He didn't even want to say a single word.

This scene left Qi Chuan quite embarrassed.

"Is this Xuan Zhou so arrogant just because he's the top disciple of the academy?"

Ye Xuan frowned, asking from the Violet Firmament Sect's seating area.

Qi Chuan was, after all, the Lord of the Barren Continent; how could this person not give him any face?

"Because, his surname is Xuan!"

However, Sect Master Su Ziyun simply replied with five words.

That's right, simply because the person's surname was Xuan!

The Xuan Clan, the head of all clans, even a worthless scion of it, was enough to make outsiders wary.

Not to mention that this Xuan Zhou was a direct descendant of the Xuan Clan; even Qi Chuan could only be obsequious.

Liu Yunxi also narrowed her eyes, but she still couldn't make out Xuan Zhou's appearance.

"Ahem, well then, this Marquis shall announce the rewards for this Sect Assembly!"

"In this Sect Assembly, all the Holy Sons and Saintesses of the top-tier Sects will directly obtain the qualifications of academy students and enter Cloud Palace Academy to cultivate!"

"And among the top-tier Sects' competition, the strongest Holy Son or Saintess will even obtain the status of a true disciple of Cloud Palace Academy!"

Qi Chuan's voice resounded throughout the plaza, causing the vast area to erupt into an uproar after a brief moment of silence!

All the Sect cultivators' expressions changed drastically!

The Holy Sons and Saintesses of the top-tier Sects could directly become academy students!?

Wen Yuyan and the others immediately looked towards Ji Fengliu.

The strongest prodigy of the four Sects could become a true disciple of the academy!?

This was an unprecedented honor in the history of the Barren Continent!

However, Ji Fengliu simply smiled faintly; he had known this news since yesterday.

Although he didn't seem very excited, he was determined to win the top spot in this martial competition!

On the third platform, Xiao Chengfeng and Liu Yunxi were trembling with excitement!

No Sect disciple didn't want to cultivate in Cloud Palace Academy; that was one of the three highest cultivation Holy Lands in the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty, second only to the Imperial College!

Previously, only the strongest prodigies of the four regions could strive for student qualifications through examinations!

Now, the threshold had actually been lowered!?

Wasn't this precisely their opportunity!?

With this, Liu Yunxi couldn't wait any longer and immediately stood up, looking towards the second platform.

"Violet Firmament Sect's Chu Wan'er, come down and fight!"
