Chapter 29: The Surprising Victory

Was it even possible?

An outer sect disciple had actually beaten an inner sect disciple furthermore he was able to do it so quickly?

If the audience had not personally witnessed it for themselves, nobody would have believed it.

Contestant 9co-contestant 998 is the winner!

The judge was also shocked and had to take a moment before he could announce the result.

After the judges announcement, the stunned audience woke up from a trance.

Tian Yuan, hehe fought a weak brat from the outer sect, yet what happened? Thisthis isnt possible, A female disciple shouted.

Did you guys not clearly see what happened? As they were struggling during the fight, suddenly, Su Yun changed his hand movements. He managed to change the direction of his opponents spiritual aura output with a mysterious method.

What?!? Just by changing his hand movements in this battle followed by a cheap strike to finish his opponent after he had created such an opportunity. Is this man bold or just stupidly daring? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

You are all just looking down on this person! This disciple isnt so simple. Although I do not know with what method he use enabling him to overpower Tian Yuan, his strengthIm afraid might be much stronger than what we currently think he is!

A mere eighth stage spirit novice disciple overpowered a first stage intermediate realm disciplewow, how is this possible?

Within the realm of higher stage fighting, it is very difficult to say. The fact that this disciple actually managed to overcome three cultivation stages higher than himthis is truly frightening!

Im just afraid that this battle will remain etched into Tian Yuans heart for life.

Off to the side of the arena, several of the inner sect disciples within the audience sighed and shook their heads. The audience members were still cheering endlessly and it would be awhile before the next match began on the arena*. Su Yuns injured opponent was taken to the Regional Medical Tent of the Su Family to accept his treatment.

As quickly as the match finished, the news of Su Yun beating an inner sect disciple spread like wildfire, instantly reaching across the entire tournament square.

The contestants immediately became interested by the juicy news.

What? Su Yun actually beat an inner sect disciple? How is this possible?

Dont screw with me!

That trash with only a cultivation of sixth stage spirit novice realm? Do not joke like this, cause it isnt funny.

The rumors this time around are really getting too outrageous.

At first, many disciples did not believe the news. However, after looking at the competition results, one by one they became all completely petrified in shock.

Within the competitions border.

Powerful!

Qian Ge exclaimed in shock and then lowered his voice.

Senior is definitely more powerful than him!

Beside Qian Ge stood a young juvenile.

Not necessarily! If it was me, I dont think I could even accomplish this kind of feat!

What, beating that inner sect disciple? Senior most definitely would have the strength!

Yes, but I am currently at Spirit intermediate realm cultivation, while he was only eighth stage spirit novice realm! If I have to fight him, I cannot earnestly treat him like he is only an eighth stage novice realm disciple!

What can he do to senior?

Well, he seems to be sneaky and ruthless.

After the juvenile heard him, he only shook his head. He simply could not understand seniors reasoning.

Qian Ge remained calm and explained with a smile, Before Su Yun ate the other sides spirit infused punch, he had already set up a trap. Therefore, when his opponent rushed towards him, he purposefully thrusted his palm out in such a way as to disrupt his opponents spirit power. It was actually all part of his plan!

His plan?

Right. It had to be this way, since Su Yun was already aware of his opponents strength. When one utilizes spirit power to infuse ones own strikes, there is excessive strain on the body. In particular the stress on meridians that run through the hand is a quite high. If the spirit power infused is not enough or is too weak, a spirit explosion could theoretically take place. Therefore, it seems that Su Yun intended to gamble everything on this singular occurrence. When he suddenly changed his movements, with his fast hand movements, he created a sword from the spirit power, infused it into his palm, and clashed with his opponent! That was why his hand was heavily injured.

So he cut his opponents meridians?

Right! There was just a little force in the strikes spirit power, but it is exceptionally sharp. As it severed the meridians of the palm, the circulating spirit power was thrown into chaos. Therefore, his opponent, was doomed to lose!

Eh? So powerful!

Is it really only powerful? Qian Ge shook his head and continued, This man was not only extremely cautious and devious, but his knowledge concerning his opponents meridians was first class. If he lacked any of these qualities, he would not be able to sever any of the meridians. It is this combination of traits that Im really afraid of!

So it is that.

Strength does not rely solely on cultivation, but also intelligence as well. A powerful man is bold and crafty, but is never ignorant.

I will remember the teachings of senior, The long haired tender juvenile seriously promised.

After this round was over, everyone who was left had officially entered the top two hundred in rankings. Now for Su Yun, entering the inner sect was a sure thing.

The two hundred disciples entered the designated rest area. Su Yun was also welcomed and headed to the rest area.

Before he managed to get far, a large crowd of outer sect disciples flooded over.

Eyes of worship and respect were thrown at him.

We greet the powerful Senior Su Yun. With your power only being eighth stage spirit novice realm, you managed to defeat a spirit intermediate realm disciple. Please tell us how did you do it?

Too impressive. Senior Su Yun, did you know, a few elders in the inner sect were asking for your name just a few moments ago!

Senior Su Yun, can I become your disciple?

Senior Su Yun, are you looking for a spirit cultivation partner?

Senior Su Yun, I love you! (EN: Kyaaaaaa >0<)

.

The peoples constant pestering continued, like a swarm of bees. Su Yun was unable to cope with the attention and quickly got up to avoid the commotion.

After waiting for a short period of time, the match of Xin Yue ended.

This brave girl was covered with a myriad of scars, and her expression was extremely downcast.

After Su Yun asked what happened he was truly able to understand. Originally, Xin Yue had also been paired up against a female inner sect disciple named Xiao Xue. After just a few minutes, the fight ended in Xin Yues defeat.

Su Yun could only say a few words in consolation. After all, it was her first time participating in a tournament, so setbacks were to be expected. There would surely be other opportunities in the future.

It was great that Xin Yues character was optimistic. After she a while, she completely recovered herself.

After witnessing Su Yun beating an inner sect disciple, Xin Yue was shocked for a long time. Afterwards, Xin Yue dragged Su Yun back to her house, while she went out to the market to buy some good food. She called Xin Yang who was still recuperating and the three of them celebrated.

To beat an inner sect disciple it was obvious that Su Yun had managed to enter the top two hundred ranks. The siblings Yue and Yang did not expect Su Yuns strength to be so dominating.

Ever since Su Yuns rebirth, he had not drunk any wine. Furthermore Xing Yang was still injured. Nonetheless, the three people ate and celebrated happily.

The next day, the tournament resumed.

Su Yun arrived early to the tournament square.

Contrary to everyones initial expectations, todays tournament square was crowded.

The audience was completely filled. Even the amount of inner sect disciples attending could not be called few. Not only that, a few elders even made appearances, such as Shi Long. He had personally come to watch todays matches.

This was a match of two hundred contestants, and only fift
