Chapter 413: Dharma Protector Hou Changming Takes in Disciples!
At this very moment, Dharma Protector Hou Changming's excited heart could hardly stay still. He never thought that good fortune would bless him and bring not just one, but three disciples walking out from this side.
"Success! Success!"
The three young men came out from the spatial portal, all overwhelmed with excitement.
"Oh..."
Dharma Protector Hou Changming was about to speak, suddenly, there was another wave of fluctuation in the space portal, and figures walked out of it once again.
These figures were not just one, but one after another, in groups of three to five, or eight to nine.
"Thirty-six, thirty-seven..."
As more than thirty outer disciples emerged from the spatial transmission gate, Dharma Protector Hou Changming's face became stunned and he felt absolutely abnormal.
"One hundred and twenty-seven... one hundred and twenty-eight..."
When the one hundred and twenty-eighth outer disciple appeared from the spatial transmission gate, Dharma Protector Hou Changming was already overcome.
This is absolutely abnormal. It's impossible for such a thing to happen!
Dharma Protector Hou Changming couldn't help but suspect that there was a problem with the Heavenly Stairs. But how could the Heavenly Stairs have a problem? It was arranged by the predecessors of the Divine Sword School, and it was never heard of any malfunction.
However, everything before his eyes told him that this was definitely not a normal situation.
And when the number of people using the spatial teleportation gate reached thousands, Dharma Protector Hou Changming completely collapsed. They crowded the exit, densely packed like ants.
"What's going on? Why are so many people climbing the fifth level of the Heavenly Stairs!"
Dharma Protector Hou Changming couldn't help but stop a disciple and ask, "There must be a big event happening!"
"Dharma Protector, I don't know. Many people have reached the fifth level, and some have even reached the seventh level!"
The disciple said this, still immersed in happiness and excitement.
This outer disciple had never imagined that he could climb to the fifth level of the Heavenly Stairs today. If this were to be transmitted back to his hometown, it would surely bring honor to his ancestors!
"The seventh level!"
Dharma Protector Hou Changming was dumbfounded. This is absolutely impossible. How can an outer disciple have such talent? What a joke.
"All disciples enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. May fortune favor the bold!"
Immediately, Dharma Protector Hou Changming spoke in a voice mixed with vital energy, echoing through the space. The exit of the teleportation portal is unable to accommodate so many people.
Inside the teleportation portal, figures walked out continuously with excitement and joy.
When the estimated number of people reached seven to eight thousand, Dharma Protector Hou Changming could no longer remain calm. He wished he could walk over to the Heavenly Stairs to see what had happened.
However, after observing all the disciples who had walked out, Dharma Protector Hou Changming didn't find any outstanding individuals among them. Their talent and cultivation were just average.
With such a large group of outer disciples walking out, something must have happened on the Heavenly Stairs. Dharma Protector Hou Changming was unsure of how to deal with them.
Working hard and waiting here, he cannot casually accept a few disciples.
Several older Divine Sword School disciples were also stunned, completely unaware of what was happening. How could so many people walk out of the space portal on this side? Is this going against the natural order? These disciples don't seem to have the talent of King Grade.
"I have finally entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords!"
Groups of disciples, excited and inexplicable, followed the guidance and stepped into the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
Dharma Protector Hou Changming stood beside in a daze, and as a disciple walked out from the spatial portal and bowed, he could only mechanically nod his head. He was still immersed in shock and unable to recover his senses.
Inside the spatial portal, three figures emerged, two men and one woman.
The woman was young, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a crystal-clear complexion, snowy skin, and a delicate face with two dimples on her cheeks.
A young man in a gray long robe, cotton boots, black hair reaching his shoulders, and a conspicuous old broken sword on his back.
There was also a slightly taller young man, with a sturdy build and a golden aura emanating from his body, carrying a sharp and intense atmosphere.
Dharma Protector Hou Changming continued to gaze at the spatial teleportation gate. As the three people walked out, it seemed that no one else followed them.
"Is this the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords?"
Zhang Qing looked around with excitement, taking in the sights. He never would have thought that he would be climbing the 5th level of the Heavenly Stairs today, it was simply miraculous.
"It should be, we all came in."
Xu Jiahui smiled faintly, a hint of amusement on her pale face.
Su Yi surveyed his surroundings, a small smile curving his lips.
There were no teleportation doors on the seventh or sixth level, so Su Yi had to come down to the fifth level where he happened upon Xu Jiahui and waited for Zhang Qing to join them before entering the teleportation door.
As for some other outer disciples of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, it is estimated that they entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords from the fourth level.
Regarding the incident on the Heavenly Stairs, Su Yi was the instigator, and naturally he was the clearest about why so many disciples had climbed the Heavenly Stairs. With this, he guessed that the commotion caused by his own ascent to the seventh level could be somewhat concealed.
In any case, the Heavenly Stairs has lost its functionality, with malfunctions, and therefore there won't be as many people paying attention to him.
Thinking of this, Su Yi is very satisfied with his performance, giving him a sense of leaving gracefully without seeking fame or prestige.
"Dharma Protector!"
Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing bowed instantly upon meeting Dharma Protector Hou Changming.
"Is there no one else behind?"
Dharma Protector Hou Changming inquired with his head and neck craning towards the spatial portal, seemingly no one had emanated from it.
"There should be no more, we are among the last."
Zhang Qing replied nervously, realizing he was in front of a protector. Su Yi and Martial Sister Jiahui were waiting for him when he arrived, he was the last one.
"Finally, no one left..."
Dharma Protector Hou Changming frowned and suddenly focused his gaze on Su Yi, observing the boy closely. Unconsciously, he felt that this young man possessed a unique aura.
Unfortunately, Dharma Protector Hou Changming has never met Su Yi.
"Young man, I intend to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing to follow me?"
Dharma Protector Hou Changming put on a serious look and turned his gaze towards Su Yi, feeling that this young man was quite impressive and perhaps the person he was looking for. He had waited for so long outside the spatial portal, and it wouldn't be right to not accept even one disciple.
"Thank you for your offer, but I already have a master."
Su Yi smiled slightly and had no intention of becoming anyone's disciple.
"Uh..."
Watching an outer disciple reject so resolutely, Dharma Protector Hou Changming's face twitched, which was also embarrassing in front of the disciples behind him.
"You, are you willing to become my disciple?"
Immediately, Dharma Protector Hou Changming, who had just been somewhat disappointed and depressed, seemed to have discovered a new world as his gaze rested upon Xu Jiahui, a young girl who appeared to be quite remarkable despite her tender age.
