The quota has been determined.
The news that Ye Qiubai had replaced Guan Zongyan and gone to the Hidden Sword Sect Sword Tomb Secret Realm spread throughout the entire academy.
" Ye Qiubai? That guy from the Southern Region Branch Academy?"
"That's right, it's that ruthless person who rose to fifth place in the Land of Hundred Refinements in such a short time."
"However, there's still a gap between him and Senior Brother Guan, isn't there? You know, Senior Brother Guan is currently the number one in the Land of Hundred Refinements, and he's even reached the 47th floor!"
"Only two more floors until we reach the bottom?"
"On the other hand, Ye Qiubai, although he's advancing very quickly, is still only at level 40, right?"
In terms of qualifications, Ye Qiubai is indeed inferior to Senior Brother Guan.
Jian Chaomian and others had also heard of this news.
When Ye Qiubai returned to his residence, the three of them were already waiting there.
Ye Qiubai was taken aback when he saw the three of them sitting around the stone table.
"Why are the three of you here? Aren't you going to the trial grounds to cultivate?"
Tian Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "How can you compare to me? You're about to go to the Hidden Sword Sect's secret realm."
"Huh? How did you know?"
Zhang He laughed and said, "This news has already spread throughout the entire academy."
Ye Qiubai shrugged and sat down as well.
Jian Chaomian's face showed envy. " The Hidden Sword Sect, I've heard my master mention it. It's a holy land for sword cultivators all over the world. I want to go and see it someday."
"How did you manage to do that? I heard that spot belonged to Guan Zongyan?"
Ye Qiubai shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Standing to the side, Tian Cheng remarked with emotion, "Back then, during the Four Regions Exchange, you were the one who was most underestimated. Now, you have surpassed us and moved even further ahead."
Zhang He nodded, deeply moved, and said, "I'm afraid the three of us are no match for you."
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai chuckled mockingly, "You talk as if you were my opponents before."
"Damn it! I can't stand this!"
"Let's all three of us attack together!"
"If we don't teach this kid a lesson, he'll get too cocky!"
Not long after.
Ye Qiubai then walked out of the courtyard gate, intending to go to the Land of Hundred Refinements to cultivate for a while longer, and also to test the power of the Sword Domain in actual combat.
Inside the courtyard, Jian Chaomian and his two companions appeared disheveled.
Clearly, he had been lectured by Ye Qiubai...
"That guy is a monster!"
At the same time.
Guan Zongyan issued a challenge announcement.
He wants to fight Ye Qiubai!
The decisive battle was decided to take place at Yan Cloud Platform.
A fight to the death, the stakes are on the qualification to go to the Hidden Sword Sect!
Clearly, Guan Zongyan was dissatisfied with the academy's decision!
He wanted to prove that he was more qualified than Ye Qiubai!
This news also reached the dean.
He had no objection to this.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Qiubai said nothing and turned to head towards Yan Cloud Platform.
Perfect timing, let's use Guan Zongyan to test the power of this Sword Domain.
At this moment, Yan Cloud Platform was filled with students.
Jian Chaomian and his two companions also arrived at this place.
As for Yan Cloud Platform Terrace, Guan Zongyan was already waiting there.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Senior Brother Guan to challenge Ye Qiubai? After all, Senior Brother Guan is a Mid-stage Qianyuan Realm expert."
"This is indeed a case of the big bullying the small."
As everyone was discussing this, Ye Qiubai also arrived at the scene.
He leaped up.
Everyone looked over.
They clearly hadn't expected Ye Qiubai to actually accept the challenge.
If Ye Qiubai did not accept the challenge, everyone would understand.
After all, the difference in their levels of understanding was too great.
Guan Zongyan looked at Ye Qiubai and said calmly, "You have no grudge against me, so there's no question of life or death between us."
"However, the stakes are the qualification to go to the Hidden Sword Sect. Will you accept?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai's expression remained unchanged.
"I've already stood on the Yan Cloud Platform, what else is there to ask?"
Guan Zongyan nodded slightly, "In that case, I won't take advantage of you. I will suppress my cultivation level to the Middle Stage Qi Sea Realm and fight you."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, then it's quite fair."
"However, Ye Qiubai is still at a disadvantage, after all, Senior Brother Guan has already seen the sights of the Qianyuan Realm."
"Whether in the application of Cultivation Method or the comprehension of Concept, she probably far surpasses Ye Qiubai!"
" Ye Qiubai's chances of survival are still slim."
Upon hearing these words, Ye Qiubai frowned.
The opponent suppressed him to the same level?
How can we test the power of the Sword Domain now?
I'm afraid we won't even need to use the Sword Domain!
In Ye Qiubai's eyes, there was no threat within the territory.
After all these years, he has always fought against opponents of higher levels.
Moreover, they have never been defeated!
Seeing Ye Qiubai's dissatisfaction, Guan Zongyan asked in confusion, "What? You're not satisfied?"
Ye Qiubai nodded and said, "You don't need to suppress your cultivation level, otherwise you probably won't last more than a few moves against me."
Upon hearing this, Guan Zongyan turned cold. "Arrogant."
Having said that, he looked at the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and said, "Let's begin."
Ye Qiubai nodded to the elder.
The battle on Yan Cloud Platform has officially begun!
As expected, Guan Zongyan suppressed his aura to the Middle Stage Qi Sea Realm!
Holding a sword in his hand, a surge of Sword Intent rose up!
The Sword Intent behind Guan Zongyan formed into long swords!
Immediately, a whirlwind arose, accompanied by Guan Zongyan's longsword, slashing towards Ye Qiubai!
This is the Wind Conception!
Clearly, Guan Zongyan infused the Wind Conception into his Sword Intent, making Sword Intent even more powerful!
Ye Qiubai remained calm and composed upon witnessing this scene.
Holding a wooden sword, he slashed at Guan Zongyan's wind swords!
Initially, Guan Zongyan showed some dissatisfaction when he saw the wooden sword in Ye Qiubai's hand.
Use a wooden sword to fight him?
Is this a sign of looking down on him?
This was also the opinion of everyone in the audience.
Everyone thought Ye Qiubai was being a bit too arrogant.
Although Guan Zongyan suppressed his cultivation level, he was still stronger than Ye Qiubai in other aspects!
Only Jian Chaomian and the others shook their heads slightly.
" Guan Zongyan is probably finished."
"How can we judge Ye Qiubai, that monstrous talent, by ordinary standards?"
"Suppressing my cultivation level... I'm afraid Brother Ye will crush me."
Invincible among those of the same realm, undefeated even against opponents of higher ranks!
This is the assessment of Ye Qiubai by those who know him!
In the blink of an eye, the wooden sword landed on those wind swords!
The wooden sword did not break as everyone expected!
On the contrary, those wind swords shattered instantly at that moment!
It couldn't withstand the wooden sword at all!
Guan Zongyan was stunned when he saw this.
Everyone was even more shocked!
Ye Qiubai, holding a wooden sword, looked at Guan Zongyan and said calmly, "If that's all there is to it, you shouldn't suppress your cultivation level."
These words sound incredibly arrogant!
However, in Ye Qiubai's expression, it seemed as if this was perfectly natural!
Guan Zongyan's expression also looked rather unpleasant.
Clearly, he underestimated Ye Qiubai.
The people present now have a basic understanding of Ye Qiubai's strength.
They were able to reach the fifth rank in the Land of Hundred Refinements in just over ten days.
This is absolutely not a coincidence!
