Chapter 415: Believe Me!
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Su Yi was also happy for Zhang Qing, it was evident that although Hou Changming was somewhat indecisive, he treated Zhang Qing with sincerity, which was much better than Wang Quande of the Scared Mountain.
Su Yi estimated that in the future, under the guidance of Hou Changming, Zhang Qing would certainly have a promising future, which was a desired outcome for other outer disciples as well.
"Let's not be too happy too soon. The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is no ordinary place. My master was right. There are opportunities and fortunes within, but also absolute danger. I have heard that in every Grand Swordsmanship Competition, even direct disciples are at risk of losing their lives in there."
Zhang Qing's expression turned serious, full of both joy and anxiety.
In every Grand Swordsmanship Competition, there are casualties among the direct disciples. With his strength, it is not an easy task for him to come out of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords alive.
"There seem to be many dangers and powerful demon beasts here."
Xu Jiahui's expression was rather grave, knowing that with her and Zhang Qing's abilities, it would be somewhat precarious to try and leave the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
"Don't worry, I'm here too. I'll lead you all out together."
Su Yi smiled faintly, as the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords had been arranged by the Divine Sword School's predecessors, and the dangers inside were probably not as tremendous as one would think.
Su Yi had also been to the Forest of Demons and the Demon Woods, so even though the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords was dangerous, it wouldn't be more menacing than the complexity found in the Forest of Demons or the ferocity within the Demon Woods.
Of course, Su Yi didn't have any careless thoughts.
The Divine Sword School is a prominent and influential sect, standing tall in Central State without a doubt, naturally having its own principles. When it comes to training disciples, it definitely has unique methods.
"Indeed, with the strength of Brother Su Yi, there should be no problem in leaving this Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. You have absolute hope to collect enough Sword-patterned Stones."
Zhang Qing suddenly gained some confidence. After all, Su Yi was there. He was a terrifying guy who climbed to the seventh level of the Heavenly Stairs and defeated the fifteenth-ranked Jian Shiyi of the Sword Tower.
It is estimated that Su Yi's intent to leave the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is certainly achievable for Zhang Qing, and acquiring enough Sword-patterned Stones is definitely hopeful.
"Where can one usually find the Sword-patterned Stones?"
When the Sword-patterned Stones were mentioned, Su Yi truly wanted to learn more about them, as they play a crucial role in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition.
"It is said that the Sword-patterned Stones are usually deposited by the powerful members of the school in dangerous areas and the lairs of ferocious demon beasts," said Xu Jiahui.
"Demon beasts..."
Hearing this, Su Yi's gaze turned slightly and a smile gleamed in his eyes.
"Brother Su Yi, what are you laughing at?"
Looking at Su Yi's sudden and inexplicable laughter, Zhang Qing couldn't fathom what was so amusing. The Sword-patterned Stone was placed in the lairs of ferocious demon beasts. What was there to be happy about?
"Haha, it's nothing."
Su Yi shook his head with a smile and said to Zhang Qing and Xu Jiahui, "Believe me, this time we will all be able to obtain enough Sword-patterned Stones, haha."
Su Yi couldn't help but laugh. No matter how fierce the demon beasts were inside, they were no match for him with his Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, which was enough to suppress the demon beasts inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
"Um..."
Looking at Su Yi's confident smile, Zhang Qing and Xu Jiahui could only stare in awe.
However, Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing actually believed in Su Yi to some degree.
After all, they knew best just how much of a freak this guy was, and he definitely had a chance to ultimately make it to the peak and contend with those top direct disciples of Spirit Sword Peak.
...
Inside the magnificent hall of Sky Sword Peak, nearly a hundred figures stood while tens of figures sat in chairs on both sides.
These individuals are the elders and strong cultivators of Divine Sword School, and their invisible aura created a solidified atmosphere throughout the entire hall.
At this moment, ordinary disciples are likely too afraid to enter for fear of being crushed by the invisible pressure and losing the ability to breathe.
"Did Su Yi cause the malfunction of the Heavenly Stairs by reaching the seventh level, or were the Heavenly Stairs already malfunctioning which allowed Su Yi to reach the seventh level?"
Inside the grand hall, the elders of the Divine Sword School were discussing the immense impact of the Heavenly Stairs losing most of its effectiveness.
Especially when Su Yi ascended to the seventh level of the Heavenly Stairs, this matter became even more significant.
"I think that there must be an issue with the Heavenly Stairs. Although Su Yi possesses the wind attribute, the other three attributes are mutually restrained, and his talent is only average. Therefore, it must be a problem with the Heavenly Stairs that allowed him to ascend so far."
An elderly man in his sixties, with a calm expression and a moderate figure, spoke with shining eyes.
"Bai Mingshan, your words are sour. Isn't it because the disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak are not Su Yi's opponents? Su Yi's strength is evident to all. Sometimes unexpected talents emerge, and I feel that that kid Su Yi is extraordinary."
Elder Lv Baimai spoke, casting a sideways glance at the elder named Bai Mingshan, without much courtesy.
"Lv Baimai, what do you mean? Do I need to compete with a kid? It's normal for younger generations to spar and win or lose. It seems you have confidence in the disciples of your Nineteenth Sword Peak. Let's see who is stronger in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, the disciples of your Nineteenth Sword Peak or my Fifteenth Sword Peak!" Elder Bai Mingshan glared at Elder Lv Baimai.
"Humph. My 19th Sword Peak never fears anybody!"
Elder Lv Baimai smiled faintly and glanced at Elder Bai Ming Shan, saying, "As for the youngster you mentioned, if he really is Elder Su's direct disciple, well, certain people may want to think twice about facing him in the future!"
"Hmph, Elder Su hasn't returned yet, and that boy's origins are mysterious. It hasn't been confirmed if he is Elder Su's disciple or not!"
Elder Bai Mingshan's eye twitched slightly, then he ignored Elder Lv Baimai and looked towards Situ Liuyun, the leader of the sect. He said, "Sect leader, Su Yi's origins are too mysterious and unclear. We should wait until Elder Su comes back to make a decision. The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is the foundation of our Divine Sword School. That boy is too audacious, and if he stirs up trouble within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, it will be too late to regret it. I suggest we take him out of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords and wait for Elder Su to come back to make the decision."
"I disagree. It has been determined that Su Yi was brought back by Elder Su. What do you mean by mysterious origins? The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is the foundation of our Divine Sword School, as well as a training ground for our younger generations. Su Yi is a disciple of Divine Sword School and should naturally participate in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition."
