Chapter 1030: Chapter 1024: My Disciple Must Take First Place All of Yun Qingwan’s mockery fell silent. Various scornful glances revealed uncontrollable awe and fear. Even the Ten Great Talents, the rising stars, looked at her with grave expressions. Bu Sheng and the others were genuinely treating Yun Qingwan as an equal opponent. Among the remaining fifteen people, ten were naturally the promising talents like Bu Sheng and others from the Ten Great Talents. One wonders if Sword Saint Mountain deliberately arranged things behind the scenes, as these ten did not encounter each other in three rounds. Perhaps Sword Saint Mountain wanted to ensure that all ten could enter the top ten! But facing them, many had a tone of despair. Encountering the talents of rising stars, all were eliminated. Besides Bu Sheng’s ten, the remaining five were Yun Qingwan, Hee Lingxuan, Gao Chengpeng, and two disciples from East Continent’s cultivation families. Those who could step into the top fifteen of the East Continent Martial Arts Conference were all prodigies of heaven! Although there was some element of luck. Like Gao Chengpeng, whose strength was comparable to many, it must be said that he himself was strong, and along with not encountering the talents of the Ten Great Rising Stars, he smoothly entered the top fifteen. Among them, the most surprising and sigh-inducing was Yun Qingwan. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovelHub(.)net Everyone thought she might be eliminated in the first round, but unexpectedly, she stepped into the top fifteen. Standing together with Bu Sheng and others, looking at the admiring and awe-filled faces below, Yun Qingwan deeply knew at this moment that in this world, strength is everything! “Next, we will draw lots, and five people will have a bye!” At this moment, Huang Jiannsheng loudly announced, “The ranking battle will also be simple and direct! Draw lots and fight to decide the winner! Those with a bye will directly enter the top ten!” As soon as Huang Jiannsheng’s words fell, many below secretly shook their heads. They all understood that those with a bye would certainly be five among Bu Sheng and the Ten Great Talents. Everyone knew this in their hearts. But, Bu Sheng and the ten were the recognized strongest of the rising stars. If they got eliminated before the top ten, it would be unfair! After the drawing ended, none of Yun Qingwan and the others drew a bye. Yun Qingwan was matched against Sikong Ping, who was Wu Danhong’s senior brother from River God Sect. “Senior Brother Sikong, be sure to teach this wench a harsh lesson!” Having been defeated by Yun Qingwan, Wu Danhong was still brooding, and she shouted harshly to Sikong Ping. Sikong Ping glanced at Yun Qingwan, slightly frowning, then lightly nodded to Wu Danhong, “It’s indeed surprising that she got into the top fifteen. But, this is the end of it!” The remaining two disciples from cultivation families faced Yu Qiunian and Lu Zhan, Hee Lingxuan faced Qin Hongluo, and Gao Chengpeng faced Muu Qianshan! Qin Hongluo and others were too strong, and Hee Lingxuan and the other four had no chance at all, supporting just a few moves before falling. But, the four were not disheartened; being in the top fifteen was enough for them to be extremely satisfied. Everyone knew that the top ten were bound to be held by the Ten Great Talents of rising stars! At this time, it was finally Yun Qingwan and Sikong Ping’s turn to face off! “If you admit defeat and apologize now, I can let you walk away with dignity, and your Tianlan Sect won’t have any trouble!” Walking onto the platform, Sikong Ping looked coldly at Yun Qingwan, directly laying things out, his words carrying a threat. But Yun Qingwan coldly faced him, walked onto the platform, and responded coldly, “Defeat me, and I’ll walk away immediately!” I want to take first place! This is the obsession in Yun Qingwan’s heart now. From the time Wu Danhong crushed the only thing her parents left her, she knew that without strength and a dominant stance, she would always be bullied, and even her life would be in danger. “No matter how great the talent, without growth, it’s all in vain! Get down!” As one of the Ten Great Rising Stars, Sikong Ping was well-versed in battles, having experienced countless fights, thus possessing innate strong confidence and aura. With a loud roar, he surged forward like a giant mountain, carrying a wave of energy towards Yun Qingwan. Yun Qingwan, appearing fragile, seemed like a little grass swaying in the storm, seemingly about to break at any moment. But at this moment, Yun Qingwan suddenly shouted, and a radiant light appeared in front of her, and then she launched a palm strike directly at Sikong Ping’s chest. This palm was indeed the Yellow Spirit Palm! This time she executed it, it still appeared light and powerless. “Wench, get down here, how dare you show off against my Senior Brother Sikong!” Below, Wu Danhong’s face showed venom, glaring at Yun Qingwan, speaking viciously. But the next moment, with a boom, Sikong Ping’s attack landed on Yun Qingwan, without causing any harm, while Yun Qingwan’s Yellow Spirit Palm instantly sent Sikong Ping flying off the platform. Still one palm, still this clean and neat, still a crushing move! The stand was stunned once more! This was Sikong Ping! One of the Ten Great Talents of the rising stars, also defeated by a single move from Yun Qingwan. “Did she still use the Yellow Spirit Palm?” On the main stand, Ye Qinghou was incredulous. Others were confused; since when was the Yellow Spirit Palm so formidable? Situ Han frowned, feeling perplexed, muttering softly, “What defensive battle technique did she just use? Who taught her that?” Under the platform, everyone looking at Yun Qingwan now had a completely different gaze! With Blue Grade talent, crushing the rising stars, entering the ranks of the Ten Great Talents; what waste is this, but a world-class genius! And the likes of Bu Sheng watching from the side, their gazes towards Yun Qingwan changed too, with solemn expression, viewing her with equal respect. “You’re very strong! If you exploit your Blue Grade comprehension, you might surpass me!” Bu Sheng said to Yun Qingwan with a solemn expression. “I would still need Senior Brother Bu’s guidance!” Yun Qingwan slightly bowed, nodding in response. At this time, Huang Jiannsheng stood in front of the ten and said loudly, “You are the most dazzling talents in this Martial Arts Conference and the hope of the new generation of East Continent! However, there is still a ranking battle below, and before the competition, your ranks are first arranged according to the generally recognized strength ranking before, and then adjusted according to comprehension grade! That is, the rankings remain roughly unchanged. If dissatisfied with the ranking, you can challenge by name! And Yun Qingwan, replacing Sikong Ping’s position, is temporarily ranked tenth!” Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look at each other. The Ten Great Talents glanced at each other but remained silent. They knew each other too well, understanding the position of each other’s strength, so none challenged aloud. Only Yun Qingwan, standing last, wore a face of struggle. “Haha… Looking at their expressions, they don’t want to compete anymore, after all, they understand their own strength!” Before Huang Jiannsheng could speak, Situ Han stood up and stepped forward, speaking loudly, finally standing before Yun Qingwan, looking her over for a moment, then said warmly, “Young girl, you met this old man before! I am Situ Han, an ancestor of Central Continent Star Mountain! Now, I want you to be my last disciple, are you willing? Don’t rush to refuse, you must know, there are countless prodigies in Central Continent who want to be my disciple but have no way in!” “Hmph, the ancestor taking you as a disciple is your immense fortune!” Nodding in agreement, Jii Xiaoyao who walked beside him chimed in. Before Yun Qingwan could speak, Lin Tian’s calm voice came through, and he stood up and walked over with a slightly ugly expression, stopping at the edge of the platform, directly facing Situ Han, “She is my disciple, don’t waste your efforts! She won’t become your disciple, otherwise she will only be misguided, and at most, step into the Golden Core Realm!” Speaking of this, Lin Tian turned to Yun Qingwan and said, “The path of cultivation is to tread on the corpses of others! Now, this is just a ranking battle without life and death, you must strive! Until you possess everything to disdain meddling jesters and so-called talents, build enough confidence for yourself! As my disciple, you must take first place! So… set these people aside and secure first place!” This sudden speech left everyone in a daze. Situ Han opened his mouth, frowned, with an old face slightly darkening. Jii Xiaoyao’s face swiftly filled with anger, and she shouted at Lin Tian, “The ancestor personally offering to take her as a disciple is her great honor and a rare opportunity, are you crazy to stop it? Besides, she’s likely to accept, and you can’t stop it!”
