Chapter 523: Top Ten Rankings in the Sword Tower!
"Boss Su Yi." There were also about ten outer disciples present who warmly greeted Su Yi upon seeing him, following suit with Zhang Qing and others.
Su Yi was familiar with these disciples. He and Zhang Qing, Wang Fan, and others were originally outer disciples of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak. However, within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, they had never crossed paths. They hadn't even managed to leave after the exit was opened, and it was only in the end that they were brought out by the experts of the Divine Sword School.
In every Grand Swordsmanship Competition, there are disciples who are unable to find their way out of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords on their own, requiring the assistance of the Divine Sword School's experts to bring them out.
These disciples, upon seeing Su Yi, were filled with warm excitement, yet also carried an immense sense of regret.
They had all heard the news about Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, Wang Fan, and the others, and felt the overwhelming aura emanating from Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, and the rest. They knew that Zhang Qing and the others had always been with Su Yi, receiving his protection and care, experiencing continuous opportunities and making progress beyond imagination. In contrast, they didn't have such fortune, and felt an immense sense of regret.
Su Yi nodded to everyone as a gesture. He had initially been concerned about any unexpected incidents that might occur to these disciples within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, but now it seemed that things were going well, at least no major mishaps had taken place.
"We should go, Elder Su probably won't go to Spirit Sword Peak," Xu Jiahui spoke up. Although there were several slots for duels on the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak today, considering Elder Su's personality, he probably wouldn't go to Spirit Sword Peak either.
Su Yi had just been speculating in his mind whether Elder Su would accompany them, but it seems that he won't be going now.
After a moment, Su Yi summoned the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle that had been following closely behind him, and with Zhang Qing and a group of about ten people, they set off towards Spirit Sword Peak.
Spirit Sword Peak has always been the place where the grand events of the Divine Sword School take place. Normally, the events and duels between disciples within the mountain gate are held on Spirit Sword Peak.
It is said that there are restrictions set up by powerful individuals on Spirit Sword Peak, which cannot be damaged or destroyed by even the strongest of abilities.
Within the Divine Sword School's seventy-two peaks, there are Sky Sword Peak, Sword-hiding Peak, Spirit Sword Peak, Fifteen Profound Sword Peak, Eighteen Path Sword Peak, and the remaining ones are the Thirty-Six Sword Peaks.
Sky Sword Peak is the main peak of the Divine Sword School, while Sword-hiding Peak is the place where the school preserves martial arts techniques, swordsmanship, and precious swords. Fifteen Profound Sword Peak, with its abundant celestial and earthly energies, serves as the training ground for the elder disciples of the Divine Sword School.
The Eighteen Path Sword Peaks have always been shrouded in mystery. It is said that these eighteen mountains house the most elite and formidable members of the Divine Sword School. Only on rare occasions are the direct disciples of the Divine Sword School summoned to undergo secluded training there.
"Wow, it seems quite lively today!" Zhang Qing exclaimed from atop the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle, his gaze fixed upon the densely packed disciples of the Divine Sword School on the mountain path below, as well as the numerous disciples of the school who were riding flying demon beasts in mid-air. He couldn't help but express his admiration.
"Of course, today is a grand event that only occurs once every five years. I've heard that many senior brothers and sisters, as well as some disciples of the Divine Sword School who are currently away, will also be returning," Liu Ji said.
"Today is the ultimate disciples' duel of our generation. Each one of them is a prodigy of extraordinary talent. It is feared that the rankings on the Sword Tower will undergo a major reshuffle. However, it remains uncertain who will eventually claim the top position!" Qing Chao eagerly expressed, filled with anticipation.
This final duel is directly linked to the rankings on the Sword Tower, and as a result, there will be new changes in the Sword Tower rankings.
"The first place might belong to Boss Su Yi. Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng are indeed powerful, but Boss Su Yi is even stronger!" Zhang Qing said in this manner.
If we were to speak of a month ago, Zhang Qing would never have believed that Su Yi could be mentioned in the same breath as disciples like Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng.
However, now he no longer holds that belief. With Boss Su Yi's skills and abilities, he definitely has a fighting chance.
"Of course, Boss Su Yi has great prospects today!" Qing Chao, Wang Fan, Liu Ji, and others all agreed wholeheartedly, believing that Su Yi has the ability to compete.
Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and others have been inside the mysterious space all along, unaware of everything that Su Yi and Situ Muyang have experienced and done afterwards. Otherwise, at this moment, they would not merely perceive Su Yi as having the ability to compete.
Su Yi remained silent, but smiled faintly.
Although Su Yi has been reincarnated, he was also a young person in his previous life.
In this life, although Su Yi is three or four years younger than those direct disciples, with the mindset from his previous life, he unexpectedly possesses a strong competitive spirit.
Today's grand event is primarily a youth affair, with the fiery vigor of young age. Su Yi, too, begins to feel the fervent blood boiling within him.
"Brother Su Yi, do you have a certain degree of confidence?" Xu Jiahui, with clear and sparkling eyes, filled with a hint of curiosity, looked at Su Yi and asked.
"I have said that I must claim the first place. The points you awarded me will be returned to you a hundredfold!" Su Yi said with a smile.
Initially, he borrowed Xu Jiahui's points to comprehend the Divine Sword Cliff. It was once said that when the time came, he would repay her a hundredfold.
"Definitely have to claim the first place..." Hearing these words and seeing the confidence in Su Yi's eyes, Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, and others couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless. Boss Su Yi really doesn't mince his words; does he truly believe that those abnormal fellows like Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng don't exist?
"What you have given me has long exceeded a thousandfold, ten thousandfold."
Xu Jiahui said to Su Yi, how many points did Su Yi use from her back then? Just the Sword-patterned Stones he gave her alone could earn her a substantial amount of points from the Divine Sword School. The points on over a dozen Sword-patterned Stones already exceeded a hundredfold, even a thousandfold.
Most importantly, everything that Su Yi has bestowed upon him inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords cannot be obtained through mere points.
"Boss Su Yi, with your strength, even if you cannot achieve the first place, you will definitely be able to secure a spot in the top ten."
Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, and others spoke up, afraid that Su Yi might not secure the first place and lose face. So, they decided to give Su Yi a way out first.
A group of about ten people chatted as they headed towards Spirit Sword Peak.
Subsequently, from the mouths of Zhang Qing and others, Su Yi also learned about the rankings atop the Sword Tower.
There were numerous rankings on the Sword Tower, and Su Yi paid attention to the top ten.
Qin Fang, ranked tenth on the Sword Tower.
Zhang Diyun, ranked ninth on the Sword Tower.
Jiang Xiwen, ranked eighth on the Sword Tower.
Nan Liran, ranked seventh on the Sword Tower.
Gong Qi, ranked sixth on the Sword Tower.
Ying Qianqian, ranked fifth on the Sword Tower.
Gu Chenyou, ranked fourth on the Sword Tower.
Ou Luo, ranked third on the Sword Tower.
Yun Lingfeng, ranked second on the Sword Tower.
Liu Yunchuan, ranked first on the Sword Tower.
Su Yi is acquainted with several of these ten people, having had interactions with them before. Among them are Zhang Diyun, Gong Qi, Ying Qianqian, and Yun Lingfeng, among others.
"It is Su Yi!"
"Also, there's Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji..."
Flying demon beasts passed by in the surroundings, and some disciples noticed Su Yi and others, their gazes changing, accompanied by murmurs of discussion.
"It seems like they are talking about us..."
Zhang Qing felt a little excited. At some point, he had fantasized about becoming the center of attention among the disciples of the Divine Sword School, hoping to be noticed. He never expected that such a day would actually come.
The towering peaks stretched endlessly, with layer upon layer of green-clad mountains rising straight into the sky. When looking from the foot of the mountain to the top, it was impossible to see the end.
