Chapter 922: Changing the Rules (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

```

Seeing Xu Sheng return, Ling Yue blinked her Beautiful Eyes and gave him a thumbs up, praising, "Xu Sheng, well done!"

Xu Sheng was a bit surprised, not expecting Ling Yue to speak to him with such a tone…

It seemed her personality wasn't as timid as he had imagined…

Meanwhile, Lin Moxue also spoke very earnestly, "Xu Sheng, you are indeed very impressive! But the competition isn't over yet, there's still the final round!"

Xu Sheng smiled gently and said, "Yeah! I understand, but Mo Xue, weren't you a little worried about me facing four people alone just now?"

Upon hearing his words, laden with innuendo, Lin Moxue turned her head away rather haughtily, but her voice was somewhat lacking in confidence, "Worried… about you? Why… why should I worry about you? It's just a one-against-four, why all the fuss?"

Even though she knew Xu Sheng was trying to comfort her after she had been eliminated by the onslaught of four disciples, she couldn't help wanting to retort…

Xu Sheng just casually smiled and said no more…

If it weren't for her blushing cheeks, he might have believed her…

The disciples of the Tianlong Sect behind them were all watching Xu Sheng with shining eyes…

They praised him, saying, "We never expected Xu Sheng to be this frighteningly strong, he really is someone the Sect Master personally requested!"

"I want to slap myself now. I thought Xu Sheng was just a weakling, but now I realize he could crush me single-handedly! His strength is terrifying."

"Single-handedly fighting against four, tsk tsk tsk, it looks like our Tianlong Sect is about to add another glorious chapter to its history!"

"What are you all talking about? Aren't you going to cheer for Xu Sheng? His strength can definitely put our Tianlong Sect at the top!"

"Xu Sheng!!! Xu Sheng!! Xu Sheng!!"

For a moment, passionate shouts rose continuously...

But, Xu Sheng merely glanced at them indifferently with his dark eyes…

…

At this time, the Starfall Sect Master covered his mouth with a cough, then announced loudly, "All the disciples who have won in the five rounds of competition will proceed to the final round of the contest!"

"However, for the sake of fairness, we are changing from a melee to a one-on-one format! After discussing with the other four Sect Masters, Tianlong Sect's Xu Sheng will get a bye!"

After he finished speaking, the Sect Master felt somewhat embarrassed…

They had to abandon the melee, opting for one-on-one combat, to avoid being wiped out by Xu Sheng...

Giving Xu Sheng a bye was undoubtedly the best method!

This change immediately sparked dissatisfaction among the disciples of the various sects...

One of the disciples exclaimed in shock, "What?? Can't believe they're changing the rules now, this has never happened before!"

Another disciple agreed, saying, "Exactly! The melee has been the tradition of the five sects tournament for so many years! Really can't understand why the Sect Masters would do this!"

"Are you really that clueless? It's definitely because of that Xu Sheng, forcing the Sect Masters to change the rules. Otherwise, how would the rankings work if he defeated all the disciples by himself?"

"Now that you mention it, that Tianlong Sect's male disciple is truly formidable, managing to make the Sect Masters change the tournament's rules just for him!"

Lin Moxue's Beautiful Eyes turned towards Xu Sheng, thinking to herself, "It's become a one-on-one contest because Xu Sheng is too powerful…"

He must be the first person in the history of the five sects competition for this to happen!

Ling Yue's expression darkened a bit as she murmured, "Xu Sheng, it seems the contest is no longer a melee!"

Without being with Xu Sheng, she had no confidence in defeating the disciples of the other sects.

Not everyone had the monstrous talent to fight above their level!

Xu Sheng paused for a second, then softly consoled, "Ling Yue, don't worry, just do your best."

```

These Sect Masters are quite amusing, knowing that their own disciples can no longer defeat me, so they use this method to determine the rankings...

However, giving themselves a bye also signifies they are fairly confident in gaining the ultimate victory!

After such a period of discussion, the disciples of various sects were more or less able to comprehend the thoughts of their Sect Masters!

The Starfall Sect Master finally found the situation calming down and couldn't help smacking his lips, "It seems that changing the rules on the fly really did almost cause dissatisfaction among all the disciples!"

The Luo Yun Sect's Sect Master nodded in agreement, "That's right, but there was no other choice, better to be safe than sorry!"

The Water Ripple Sect Master just gave a cold "Humph!" and thought to himself, "You guys call yourselves leaders of your sects!"

The expression on the Mountain Sect Master's face was exceptionally somber, as he remained silent without uttering a word...

Because the forthcoming battles, no matter who won or lost, had nothing to do with his Shanyue Sect anymore!

Luo Yun glanced upwards before speaking indifferently, "Let's start the duels quickly!"

All the Sect Masters nodded and signaled...

...

Soon after, once the dueling parties were confirmed, the Starfall Sect Master shouted loudly, "Please, from the Tianlong Sect: Ling Yue, and from the Luoyun Sect: Li Yan, enter the duel area..."

After his words fell, a male disciple dressed in long robes, who wasn't very eye-catching, emerged from the Luoyun Sect...

But his face showed a determined expression...

"Senior Brother Li!! Come on!! Come on!!"

"Don't get seduced by the opponent's beauty scheme! But still, take it easy on her!"

"Senior Brother Li's opponent is this female disciple, so it's a sure win!"

"Of course!! Senior Brother Li, come on!! Come on!!"

On the other side, Ling Yue also took a deep breath and stepped out from the Tianlong Sect's team...

Behind her, Lin Moxue clenched her fists and encouraged, "Ling Yue, go for it, give him a good thrashing!"

Xu Sheng smiled and reminded, "Don't use your beauty on this disciple, or you'll suffer a big loss!"

He had just briefly observed the male disciple named Li Yan and felt that he didn't seem like someone who could easily be beguiled by beauty...

Ling Yue took this advice to heart and nodded, "Mm! I got it!"

With those words, she turned and walked towards the dueling area...

All the Tianlong Sect disciples were exclaiming, "Go Ling Yue! Go Ling Yue!"

"Come on! Come on! Ling Yue, you've got this!"

...

As Ling Yue entered the dueling area, her Beautiful Eyes quickly scanned her opponent, Li Yan...

Similarly, Li Yan was carefully observing Ling Yue...

When he clearly saw her lovely cheeks, a blush involuntarily rose on his bronze-colored skin but was well concealed...

A few seconds passed, and a voice rang out...

"The duel begins!!"

Immediately, Li Yan assumed a defensive posture and said to Ling Yue with utmost earnestness, "Junior Sister, my cultivation level might be slightly superior to yours, so I will allow you the first three moves!"
