Yang Yun

The Heaven's Pride Ranking had an important significance within the Moonlight Sect.

It represented the fame and power of a person.

The higher the ranking, the more respect you will receive.

Because it meant that you were strong, and in this world, only the strong were respected.

During this day, the Combat Hall was packed with people, and bustling with noise.

"Murong Xuan wins the match against Ouyang Yun! Murong Xuan successfully takes the place of Ouyang Yun, and is now promoted to the 31st Rank!"

The elder who was spectating the match loudly announced, his voice echoing throughout the crowd.

The entire Hall burst into a collection of roaring applause and high-pitched screams.

"Murong Xuan, I love you!"

"A new student, reaching the 31st Rank within a few days of joining! Worthy of being the Goddess of the Moonlight Sect!"

"Did you hear about the Little Devil? She also managed to reach the 28th Rank!"

"Yeah, yeah! I personally watched that match! Her opponent was mercilessly beaten into a pulp by her! The new disciples this year are really unimaginable!"

The crowd engaged in conversations, their faces showing a hint of fascination and awe as they endlessly went on.

It was an iron-clad rule for the new disciples to be bullied and oppressed by the old disciples.

These past few years, the new disciples could do nothing but suck up to their senior brothers and sisters, handing in their Crystals to them out of their own volition.

If any one of them did not do as such, they will be beaten up the next day by a group of people, robbed of their belongings.

The Sect knew of this, but did not intervene.

The rule of the strong applied everywhere. If they were not able to deal with such a little setback and loss in their lives, how far could their future achievements ever be?

It was only through overcoming endless obstacles that people matured and grew stronger.

However, in this particular year, none of the senior disciples dared to touch the new disciples.

Especially after seeing the Little Devil's ruthless and brutal performance, which left them shaking in fear.

They were quite sure that her opponent was severely injured, and definitely had to lay in bed for more than 3 months in order to recuperate, from the looks of him.

After this incident, her opponent will definitely be left behind by the others, as he had lost 3 precious months of cultivation.

Serve him right for trying to provoke the Little Devil. He was acting arrogant and haughty in front of her, and he got what he deserved.

Murong Xuan calmly walked down the stage amidst the deafening cheers.

She, along with the Little Devil, managed to successfully break through to the Qi Refinement Realm after receiving the cultivation resources from the Sect, and thus were able to challenge the Heaven's Pride Ranking.

With their talent, it was not surprising for them to be able to take a place on the Heaven's Pride Ranking.

Murong Xuan was about to leave, when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

He exuded of magnificence and nobility, and radiated of a trace of ferociousness.

Murong Xuan took a glance at him. She didn't know why, maybe it was because she was slightly joyous after winning countless matches. Regardless, she greeted him with a rare smile, "Long Chen."

Long Chen was rather taken aback by her smile for a moment, but he still nodded her head at her in greeting.

"Are you here to challenge the Heaven's Pride Ranking?" Murong Xuan asked, although her heart already knew the answer.

"Yeah, I had managed to make some breakthrough these past few days, and wanted to try my luck here." Long Chen humbly responded.

Trying his luck? He was going to dominate the entire rankings!

Of course, he felt it was quite shameless to say that.

Murong Xuan noticed that Long Chen's aura had become even more mysterious, and knew that he was definitely much stronger than before.

Even after breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm, she instinctively felt that she stood no chance against him.

It seemed like he was preparing to make a big movement within the Sect.

"I'll stay to watch you then." Murong Xuan stared at Long Chen. She was fairly curious about which stage his strength has reached after this past few days.

"Sure." Long Chen nonchalantly replied, waving his hands to say goodbye, as he walked towards the platform.

The crowd looked at this with some astonishment in their faces.

Who was this youth to make the cold Murong Xuan stay to watch his match?

He looked handsome and elegant. Was he possibly Murong Xuan's secret boyfriend?

Countless thoughts flashed past their minds, however their expression were filled in confusion.

They could only see stay back to see what was so special about this person for Murong Xuan to place so much attention on.

It had to be known that Murong Xuan was famous for being cold and distant. She had numerous pursuers, yet she had never ever taken a single glance at them, let alone take the initiative to talk to them.

Within the crowd, a few people glared at Long Chen's back with jealously and displeasure.

A rat-looking youth caught sight of this scene, and an unusual glint flashed past his eyes, as he disappeared from the crowd.

Within an exquisite courtyard.

There were two youths sitting around a table.

They features were fairly similar, and with one look, it was obvious that they were siblings.

"Older Brother, I'm telling you, there is someone within the new disciples that you should never, ever provoke." Yang Chen seriously looked at Yang Yun, and within his eyes was a trace of unease.

Yang Yun looked at his younger brother with some surprise. He knew of Yang Chen's antics.

Arrogant and conceited, never putting anyone in their eyes.

He always offended many people, and made use of the Yang family to take care of them.

Because Yang Chen was one of the geniuses of the clan, the Yang family took a blind eye to his behavior.

As a result, he had a notorious fame within the city.

Now he was actually afraid to offend somebody?

Who could possibly be so powerful to scare his fearless brother?

"Who is it?" Yang Yun curiously asked.

"I can't tell you his name, the Sect Leader made us pledge a contract to keep it a secret. However, I can tell you that he is looks handsome, even more handsome than me." Yang Chen slowly said, his expression slightly unnatural.

He always prided on his looks, yet was badly oppressed by him.

He couldn't help but feel jealously.

"Oh?" Yang Yun raised his eyebrows with interest. Knowing his appearance, it was not that hard to find him then.

He could warn his subordinates about this matter too.

He could tell from Yang Chen's expression that this was definitely not a joke, and if it was somebody Yang Chen did not even dare to provoke, it was best for him to steer clear too.

He did not want his subordinates to accidentally incur his wrath because of their ignorance, and create trouble for him.

"Older Brother, remember my words!" Yang Chen once again seriously stared at Yang Yun, before he turned around and left.

Just as Yang Chen had already left, a rat-looking youth entered the youth, as he bowed down towards Yang Yun with respect in his eyes, then informed him, "Young Master, somebody had contact with Murong Xuan earlier, and Murong Xuan had even took the initiative to talk to him."

Yang Yun's face darkened when he heard this news.

He had already acknowledged Murong Xuan as his future wife.

Not only was she beautiful, she was also talented, and also came from a similar strong background.

They could be said to be a perfect pair.

Yet now there was someone, who dared to interfere in his plans?

Who could it possibly be, for the indifferent Murong Xuan to actually care about?

"Take me there. I want to see which brat it is that Murong Xuan talked to." Yang Yun ordered, his eyes shining with a menacing glint

Could it possibly be the youth that Yang Chen told him not to provoke? He inwardly thought, as his expression froze for a moment.

He quickly threw the thought out of his mind.

It will be far too coincidental if he actually was.

There were 200 new disciples, so how could he possibly be so unlucky?
