C497 Divergent

Because there were only four people left in the top ten selection, and Xu Daolin and Duanqianyue were also among them, the chances of them meeting each other were extremely high. The audience was very curious as to whether or not these two leading disciples would fight each other in the top ten selection competition.

It wasn't just the spectators who were curious. Even Duanqianyue and Xu Daolin themselves were curious as to whether their opponents would be each other.

"Although we are not competing for the number one position in the Outer Palace, if we were to meet each other here, it would definitely give us a different feeling." Duan Qianqian stood in the crowd, waiting for the Law Enforcing Elder to announce his number. He was not sure if he would be able to match up to Xu Daolin.

..."" However, Xu Daolin was extremely calm about this matter. His heart was calm, as if it was not that important to him or not to Duanqianyue.

Although he regarded Duanqianyue as the strongest opponent in the Outer Palace, he did not forget that the disciple competition this time was a competition to filter out the participants and send them to the Sandalwood Book Will.

The real arena was not here, but in Gu Yang. It was because he knew this in his heart that Xu Daolin's thoughts were not restricted here.

As far as Xu Daolin was concerned, he and Duan Qianyue would definitely have a battle, but it would only be a matter of time. He had already prepared himself mentally, so he did not care who his opponent would be on the arena.

"Will we clash?"

"If we clash, then the following matches will be interesting."

"Please don't talk nonsense. If you really do bump into them, one of you will be eliminated, and then the overall strength of the Sandalwood Book Will will be reduced."

The audience whispered under the ring, wondering who was going to be in the last two matches. It was clear that a large portion of the audience was hoping that the two leading disciples would get together.

After all, it was almost impossible for people like Duanqianyue and Xu Daolin to fight in the Outer Palace. The older students could only search for the figures of these two people in their memories, not to mention that there were rumors in the Outer Palace that the two of them had condensed their third Divine Flower, so they were eager to see the scene of the battle between the two leading disciples.

But there were also a small number of people who did not wish for the two of them to fight prematurely. They all knew the significance of the disciples' competition, and were preparing for the Sandalwood Book Will of Guyang.

In their minds the battle between the two leading disciples would be spectacular, but there would also be people who would be eliminated from the top ten. If that was the case, then the combat strength of the people from the Sandalwood Book Will would be severely reduced.

Because of this, this group of people did not want Xu Daolin and Duan Qianyue to fight each other.

The Disciplinary Elder stood in front of everyone. He also knew that the next match was extremely crucial, so he was not in a hurry to announce the sequences of the next participant.

His eyes first swept the area below the arena, and what greeted him were the eager gazes of the audience. He did not pay attention to these gazes, and when his gaze swept past Xu Daolin and Duan Qianyue, it paused for a moment.

"Cough, cough ..."

The Disciplinary Elder cleared his throat twice. It was clear that he was about to announce the number of the next contestant.

When the spectators saw the Regulation Elder acting like this, they all raised their heads and looked forward to it. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.

Even the several Palace Elders in the main viewing gallery were curious as to whether the two of them would fight or not.

"Number twenty-first."

As everyone waited, the Disciplinary Elder finally gave the number of the next contestant, but because only the contestant knew his or her own number, no one else knew, when the number was given, everyone below the ring turned their attention to the four of them, wanting to see which two would step onto the ring.

When Duanqianyue heard this number, he did not move at all, and even the expression on his face did not change. He continued to stand there quietly with his arms folded in front of his chest, as if it was not his number at all.

The people around him, seeing that he had no intention of going on stage, felt a slight disappointment in their hearts, apparently not expecting that the two leading disciples would miss it.

However, on the other side, at the place where the disciples of the Yuan Alliance were gathered, Xu Daolin was there, and the people around him were also observing the changes in his expression.

But when Xu Daolin heard this serial number, just like Duanqianyue, he didn't show any intention of getting up on the stage. His face did not have any expression on it, and his eyes were a little cold. No one could tell what he was thinking.

What was going on? The others didn't understand it. The Law Enforcing Elder had told them the serial number, but the two leading disciples didn't want to go up to the stage. Could it be...

Just when everyone was wondering why Xu Daolin and the other disciple did not go up to the stage.

"Swish." "Swish."

Two figures with powerful auras suddenly appeared on the Trial Arena. These two people were the older students of the Outer Palace, and they had also condensed their Divine Essence. From the aura that they were emitting at this moment, it could be seen that they were not ordinary people.

Below the arena, Xu Daolin and Duan Qianyue's gazes were both focused on the arena. The two of them stood where they were and ignored the gazes of the surrounding people.

Although it was not their turn to participate in the competition, they did not miss the sequence. The two people who appeared on the stage had already confirmed that when this competition ended, it would be Xu Daolin versus Duanqianyue.

"Hua."

The audience who understood the whole situation immediately burst into an uproar. They originally thought that these two leading disciples were going to be separated, but they didn't expect that the two of them would actually get together.

How could this not surprise everyone? One had to know that these two were the strongest disciples of the Outer Palace. If the two of them were to fight at the same time, it would definitely result in the most intense battle.

As they thought of this, the audience burst into an uproar, so much so that no one paid any attention to the two people on the arena anymore.

Even the expressions of the palace elders changed slightly when they saw this scene. It was obvious that they did not expect that these two Prodigy disciples would really meet in the end.

But it wasn't Xu Daolin's turn yet, so everyone suppressed their emotions, but no one didn't look forward to the next match.

Because the next match would perhaps be the most intense and most eye-catching match among all the disciple competitions.

At this moment, when the two contestants on the arena realized that their opponents weren't any of the two leading disciples, they let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.

To tell the truth, they were also worried that they would run into their leader's disciples. After all, Xu Daolin and Duanqianyue were simply too strong for them to contend with.

But fortunately, they really didn't meet those two. It had to be said that they were lucky.

However, all of them had bitter smiles on their faces, because they were sure that Xu Daolin would fight with Duanqianyue, so the audience's attention was not on them. Although they felt helpless, the two of them were still the leader's disciples.

"I really didn't expect that the two of them would really fight each other." One of them was also a little surprised.

"Yeah. But it also gives us a chance, doesn't it?" The other person also said.

"Haha..." The first person only laughed lightly and didn't say anything else.

In the end, the battle between the two also began.
