C8 The Junkers Arena

Before he met Sheng Xueyin, Qu Lingjing did not know what the gift of the heavens was, nor did he know what it meant to be adored by others. But today, he had seen it for himself. His appearance, even if he didn't say or do anything, was an aura that made people kneel down. Everyone else unconsciously became a backdrop, and even Lau Piaoxu from the Misty Sword Sect was made transparent by him. It turned out that the Unparalleled List wasn't lying. As long as he was here, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could sit in the first place.

It could be said that the will of the sect was like a thousand miles of snow, where could it hide its glory? The Heavenly Dao was hidden in the heart, an undefeated beauty.

I am not deceived by the author, for even a man would not have been able to take his eyes off a man who was so beautiful that he seemed to glow, and whose skin was so white that it was almost transparent. However, he was cold and indifferent. No matter how loud the crowd was, he didn't seem to be affected at all. His eyes were calm and steady. When he sat, he was as still as he had been when he was standing. He was stately, distinguished, but quiet, and lonely compared to the other masters surrounded by their disciples.

Qu Lingjing looked at Sheng Xueyin from afar and suddenly felt a sense of pity for him. However, nothing in the book had happened yet, and Qu Lingjing did not know where this pity came from. He was a dignified upper Immortal Sage, how could he be pitied by a Devil Lord? Shouldn't he be more concerned about the female lead who had such a difficult aptitude?

At this moment, the female lead, Xin Lianyue, was preparing below the stage. She also saw Sheng Xueyin, who had an outstanding beauty on the stage, and couldn't help but be mesmerized by him. Although Xin Lianyue had been an apprentice in the Profound Sect for several years and had the chance to see this legendary figure once a year, every time she saw him, it was still a huge impact. After seeing him, she felt that the time was still too short. He always thought how wonderful it would be to be his disciple one day. It was a pity that the world knew that Yunyin had been born into the world and never took disciples.

As soon as the Juniors Meeting began, the emcee announced the rules of the meeting. Those who were not on the rankings would first challenge those who were lower on the rankings. Those who won would replace the original rankings and continue to challenge those in front of them until no one continued to challenge them. Then, the new year's Juniors Ranking would be born.

According to the schedule, it began with a ten-man, ten-man challenge to a newcomer outside the rankings, and the melee was particularly intense. After entering the top twenty, the entire arena became a one person arena and one person arena. The focus of the audience became more focused. Only the second place could challenge the first place. No one had succeeded in the past ten years. Even so, this match was still the focus of attention. It was also the only chance to see Sheng Xueyin in action.

In Qu Lingjing's opinion, Sheng Xueyin's existence was not really to accept challenges and keep first place, but to ensure the box office of the Junkers Meeting. Without him, there would probably be less than half of the female audience.

The official competition of the arena had begun. As a challenger who had not made it onto the list, Xin Lianyue had gone up to the stage from the beginning to challenge one of the defenders ranked 91 to 100 on the stage. Xin Lianyue wasn't that confident in herself. She only chose the weaker Misty Sword Sect female disciple ranked 99th. Her opponent was a sword expert, but Xin Lianyue had never really learned a weapon before. She chose the long whip that Ye Ya'er had given her back then. The length of the whip was longer than the length of the sword, but because Xin Lianyue's basic skills were not as solid as her opponent's, her movement speed was slower than her opponent's slap. Even the length of the whip didn't give her any advantage.

Ye Ya'er became anxious and couldn't help but shout, "Aiya, we should use the Sky-fingering Whip that I taught you here... Use the chain whip to cover her sword path, the chain whip... We have to use movement techniques here, they are too slow."

Yun Zhao was annoyed by her words and complained, "Can you be quiet? If you have the ability, go and fight for her."

Ye Ya'er was unconvinced, "Master hasn't even said anything. What can I do to Xin Nu?"

Qu Lingjing coughed and reminded him in a low voice, "I'm not the Master now. Call me Young Master."

The two Protectors nodded and looked at their own mouths.

Qu Lingjing saw that Xin Lianyue was about to be forced into a corner and was about to fall off the arena. Qu Lingjing no longer waited for a miracle to happen. He secretly used his magic on his index and middle fingers under his sleeve. The bean-sized seed in the arena battle slowly grew thin tentacles, as if it had eyes. It grabbed the bottom of the Misty Sword Sect's female disciple's feet. With this unexpected trip, the female disciple's upper body directly threw herself out, forming a dog-eat-dog effect.

Although Xin Lianyue's cultivation technique was weaker, her reaction was extremely fast. She knew what had happened from the very beginning when the female disciples of the Misty Sword Sect started to slow down. One of them took a step forward and circled behind her, causing the spectators to think that she had tripped the female disciple. She took the opportunity to whip the disciple and sent her flying off the arena. The poor female disciples of the Misty Sword Sect didn't even have the time to react to what had happened. In an instant, they were defeated from the top of the mountain.

"Profound Sect Xin Lianyue wins, promoted to the 99th place." The judge announced the results loudly. Xin Lianyue was overjoyed. She raised her head and looked proudly in the direction where Sheng Xueyin was sitting, hoping that he would see her outstanding performance and give her an appreciative look. However, Sheng Xueyin did not even raise his eyes. There was still nothing in his eyes.

Disappointment was disappointment, but the game had to go on. Xin Lianyue was led to another arena and began to challenge the 81st to 90th place geniuses. Using the same method, Xin Lianyue relied on Qu Lingjing's help to once win against a disciple of the Seven Absolute Sect who was stronger than her.

"Xin Lianyue of the Profound Sect has won. Her ranking has risen to 83rd place."

Xin Lianyue, who heard the announcement, was overjoyed, but she couldn't control the joy of defeating her opponent. She was looked up and admired by the audience. She wanted to win the next arena in one go, thinking that Qu Lingjing would help her win with seeds. This time, however, the seed did not attach itself to her leg. Instead, she looked anxiously in the direction of Qu Lingjing, who was standing below the stage.

If Xin Lianyue's strength was really on par with the other party's, or even not much weaker, and could cover it up, Qu Lingjing would definitely help her. However, at the 83rd place, she was already about to reveal her weakness. If she continued to challenge higher, wouldn't she be waiting to be exposed? Qu Lingjing shook his head at Xin Lianyue, who was on the stage, indicating for her to stop and keep her position.

Without Qu Lingjing's help, Xin Lianyue was defeated in less than ten moves by the disciples of the Cang Hai Heaven Sect, ending her glorious journey to the Junjie Conference. Xin Lianyue was not very satisfied with this result, and her face did not reveal any joy.

The arena battle continued, and the number of active challengers became fewer and fewer. Four hours later, there was only one arena left with a martial arts competition going on, and that was the ranking challenge of the last twenty.

Hsu Liuyun, the Peak Master of Cloud Peak of Profound Sect, glanced at Qin Yubing and turned his head to say a few words to him. Qin Yubing nodded and took his sword. He slowly walked to the center of the arena and accepted the challenge from the disciple of the Seven Wonders Clan, Shang Wulie.

As soon as he reached the center of the stage, Qin Yubing's gaze didn't land on Shang Wulie first. Instead, it landed on Qu Lingjing, who was standing not far away from him. The two of them exchanged a glance, and Qu Lingjing gave him an encouraging smile.
