Chapter 112: Revised: Chapter 111 Rewards (3rd update for subscription and monthly pass requests)
One move!
It wasn’t even a complete move.
Li Yingru was defeated!
The speed and ease with which the fight ended left everyone in shock.
"Hiss..."
Immediately, the sound of gasping breaths could be heard all around.
"I... lost?"
Li Yingru couldn’t believe it.
But the cold edge of the blade on his neck made it clear that he had indeed lost.
Soon after, his face, eyes, and neck all turned crimson red.
The greater the confidence he had before, the greater the shame and anger he felt now.
The incredulous voices around him, and the looks of either sympathy, delight, or disappointment, felt like burning slaps constantly hitting his face.
Slap after slap!
"Li Yingru lost? Then what about his promise to take me to Wujiang County?"
Guo Zhengru was stunned, immediately thinking if the promise made to him could still be fulfilled.
In his heart, he felt a deep sense of loss and anger.
Time and again, opportunities presented to him slipped away, making him relentlessly dissatisfied.
"Ziyue won?"
Liu Dong also found it hard to believe.
He suddenly realized that he didn’t understand this disciple as well as he thought.
He always focused on his training progress and external forging level. It seemed he knew little about Ziyue’s martial arts skills and combat techniques.
The only real help he provided was having him practice sword techniques with Old Li while slaughtering livestock.
In his mind, how strong could one’s combat abilities be at the external forging level? How strong did they need to be? Only once internal cultivation began did powerful combat skills become necessary for survival in Jianghu.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ziyue gave him such a surprise.
The speed and sharpness of his sword technique just now, even he found it impressive, sensing its formidable power.
Only Nie Yunhao was slightly surprised. His face showed no surprise.
During the encirclement of the Snake Demon, he had witnessed Bai Ziyue’s lightning-fast sword slash.
Even a fleeting glimpse had already impressed him deeply, so this result didn’t surprise him much.
What did surprise him a little was how quickly Bai Ziyue defeated Li Yingru.
After all, Li Yingru was the son of Li Zhao, the Hall Master of the Sunburst Gang Headquarters, and quite capable among the younger generation.
"Senior Brother Li, thank you for accepting the challenge."
Bai Ziyue said as he slowly withdrew his long sword.
Li Yingru’s face was gloomy, his expression complex as he glanced at Bai Ziyue before walking away briskly without saying a word.
"Elder Nie, please announce the result."
Liu Dong couldn’t hide his smile and quickly spoke.
Nearby, the Left Guardian Zhao Jing’s face twitched, but he only cast a cold glance at Bai Ziyue below the stage, his thoughts unknown.
"I announce the result of this duel: Bai Ziyue is the victor.
Thus, the position of outstanding disciple belongs to Bai Ziyue."
Nie Yunhao’s thick voice echoed clearly throughout the martial arts arena.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Bai, on becoming an outstanding disciple."
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Bai, a true role model for our generation."
"Brother Bai, impressive!"
...
Immediately, various congratulatory voices surrounded Bai Ziyue, who responded with a smile on his face.
Even though he wasn’t surprised by his victory over Li Yingru, and even felt it was easy, hearing the title of outstanding disciple awarded to him still made him a little excited.
"Ziyue, what’s your current level?"
Unable to resist, Liu Dong called Bai Ziyue over and asked, "To what extent have you mastered your sword technique?"
"Master, with the Snake Demon Flesh you generously gave me, I’ve reached the level of External Forging of Tendons and Bones. As for sword techniques, perhaps I’m naturally suited for them. I’ve mastered the Eighteen Linked Blades and the Slash Blade Technique to the level of Great Success Perfection."
Bai Ziyue replied softly.
This was the explanation he had already prepared.
Regarding martial arts realm, advancing too quickly might arouse unnecessary suspicion due to talent limitations. However, with martial techniques that leaned towards skill, it’s not rare to reach a high proficiency in a short time.
Thus, although Bai Ziyue’s martial technique talent might shock people, it wouldn’t be to an extent requiring deep investigation.
Even though Bai Ziyue spoke softly, all the senior guardians present, being experts, heard him clearly and couldn’t help but show signs of astonishment.
Having an outstanding martial talent is enviable enough, but Bai Ziyue’s display of sword technique talent exceeding his martial talent indeed made people jealous.
Especially Right Guardian Liu Yang, who was feeling most frustrated at the moment.
He had expressed a desire to take Bai Ziyue as a disciple, but Sect Leader Liu Dong had averted that opportunity.
Now, with Bai Ziyue’s brilliance shining, it truly made him feel a sense of regret.
"Haha, good, you haven’t disgraced your master. The title of outstanding disciple will come with rewards when you proceed to the Sunburst Gang Headquarters in Wujiang County.
Now, I’m going to add a bit of excitement for you.
You can go to my private treasury in a moment, and pick one item to take back with you."
Liu Dong naturally noticed the envious and jealous eyes from the other guardians, and even Elder Nie, and this made him even more pleased and generous. He directly spoke to Bai Ziyue.
"Thank you, Master!"
Bai Ziyue felt a bit excited in his heart too.
Liu Dong, as the Sect Leader, surely had countless good items in his private treasury. Being allowed to pick one was indeed a great reward.
"Haha, Bai Ziyue, you really should thank your master properly.
Sect Leader Liu’s private treasury is something we all envy. Last time, I shamelessly begged him for a dragon bone whip, but he rather locked it away than giving it to me."
Tan Chaofan couldn’t help but glare as he said this.
"Yes, and that Profound Nether Iron Stone, it’s an excellent material for forging weapons. Even Immortal Master Zhou Hee from the government asked for it twice, but your master refused each time.
If I were you, I would definitely choose that Profound Nether Iron Stone. This is priceless and nowhere to be found."
Right Guardian Liu Yang also suggested sincerely.
"You guys are too much; I worked hard to save up a bit of my treasures, but you all exposed them."
Liu Dong snorted but was not genuinely angry.
"Thank you, Master!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Bai Ziyue thanked him once again.
"Bai Ziyue, I’m going back to Wujiang County tomorrow. Are you coming with me now or waiting for a month or two, until the official rewards start?"
Nie Yunhao asked at this moment.
"How long until the official rewards?"
Bai Ziyue asked promptly with a serious expression.
"By today’s count, it will start in fifty days. If you’re not there by then, you will automatically lose qualification."
Nie Yunhao said with a smile.
"I will make it there before the rewards day,"
Bai Ziyue stated quickly after a brief consideration.
Although he wanted to reach Wujiang County soon and see the broader world, he still had many things to settle in Qinghe Town.
Nie Yunhao just nodded and didn’t say more.
The battle ended, and naturally, the crowd dispersed.
Bai Ziyue followed his master Liu Dong all the way to the Sect Leader’s Mansion.
He didn’t forget that his master promised him a reward.
Feeling anticipation mixed with curiosity, he wondered what good items were in his master’s private treasury.
Soon, Bai Ziyue followed the Sect Leader and directly entered his bedroom.
"My private treasury, only two or three people in the whole Qinghe Town have entered. You, Ziyue, are the fourth."
In this treasury, there are quite a few good items. Of course, there are also some that are not too valuable but rather peculiar.
These are my personal collection.
Some, frankly, I am a bit reluctant to give you.
But today, I am happy. Your performance indeed surprised me.
So, whatever you choose in this treasury, you can take.
Of course, only one item. I won’t allow more."
Liu Dong said as he walked to the bedside and twisted a certain vase on the side.
Click! Click! Click!
The sound of gears turning slowly came out, and then a nearby cabinet automatically moved aside, revealing a hard stone wall behind it.
But that was not the private treasury. Liu Dong then moved to the other direction, into the corner on the other side of the bed, and twisted again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of heavy objects moving filled the air, and the stone wall slowly opened, revealing a spacious secret chamber.
Liu Dong stepped into the chamber first, lighting four oil lamps in succession, making the whole chamber bright.
Bai Ziyue’s gaze swept across the four oil lamps, and his eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
The four oil lamps themselves were not ordinary but made of pure glass, enchanting under the lamplight, making one mesmerized.
Glass might not be too rare for Bai Ziyue, but in this world, it was extremely precious, more so than some fine jade.
His master using them as lamp covers was indeed luxurious.
It made Bai Ziyue somewhat dazzled.
It was reminiscent of a silent thunder in his mind.
Next, Bai Ziyue looked at the other items in the chamber, feeling a surge of excitement and holding his breath.
There were countless collections, and many valuable items.
At just a glance, Bai Ziyue’s breathing quickened, and he couldn’t help but show a bit of anticipation on his face as he asked, "Master, can I only choose one item?"
Liu Dong couldn’t help but smile as he said, "Yes, only one item."
It is precisely because there are valuable items mixed with less valuable ones that it tests your discernment. Otherwise, I could just give you something directly. Why complicate things?
Both luck and vision are very important here."
