Competition 8

The crowd was shocked when Seya was defeated.

They thought that even if Seya was to be defeated. It would be in the hands of Zeron and Jiao Dayu and not in the hands of Rale

The elders were amazed by Rale's superior understanding of the devil codex.

The Devil Codex is the original cultivation manual of the sword devil

Nobody knows where he got it from

But it was said to contain both cultivation and technique manuals in it.

It has many strange methods in it.

The Devil Codex is different from other unorthodox manuals in the sense that it doesn't contain evil ways of gaining power, but only strange moves.

Seya wiped the blood from his lips as he shakenly walked down the stage.

His body was trembling as he walked down the stage because he was feeling extremely weak because of the damage inflicted on him

When the medical staff tried to attend to him, he shook them off.

With determination, while bleeding from his chest, he walked down the stage.

Rale, still standing, suddenly collapsed.

When he was checked on, it was said to be because of overexertion. He forced his body beyond the possible limit.

There were other matches being carried out, and before long two hours has passed.

Eldest senior sister Sonia then announced.

"Seya versus Jiao Dayu".

Jiao Dayu elegantly floated to the top of the stage, while Seya left his cronies, which surrounded him, and also jumped to the top of the stage.

Seya, covered in bandages, said to Jiao Dayu. "You are among the two people who I thought could defeat me".

He chuckled as he continued. "but, I was defeated by a nobody in the skin refining stage."

He stretched his back as his bone made the dragon roar. "I will wipe out my shame by first defeating you".

"Ha!". He shouted as he attacked.

His sword aimed at Jiao Dayu's throat.

She looked at him with her cold, indifferent eyes as she stretched out her right hand and held Seya's sword with her right palm.

The sword edge was scraping against her palm, but the palm didn't budge.

"How!". Seya said in disbelief.

"Are you also in the completion stage of the bone tempering stage?".

Jiao Dayu didn't respond but did something that shocked the crowd and the group of elders.

She clenched her fist so tightly that she… broke the sword.

For a cultivator to break a tier 3 treasured blade, the cultivator needs to have the cultivation of the seventh stage of the body refining realm, the 'aperture opening stage.'

After breaking the sword, Jiao Dayu didn't attack but stood indifferently on the stage.

Seya stood there gripping his fist tightly, and reluctantly, he said. "I admit defeat".

His body trembled as he walked down the stage again.

Before he could walk down the last step on the stage, Jiao Dayu said something for the first time.

Her voice was crisp, and tender as the sweet morning melody, but what came out of her mouth was frigid cold.

She said. "the likes of you are nobodies which do not know the immensity of heaven and Earth, to talk of defeating me is like a clown clambering"

She said that as she turned to Zeron's direction.

"That applies to him too". She said and after saying that, walked away.

It was at that moment that people got to start knowing Jiao Dayu.

A girl who disdains everyone here and sees herself above the crowd.

The crowd should have been angry at her but they don't know why they can't help but develop an inferior mindset.

In the elder pedestal.

An elder said. "Isn't she been too arrogant".

The elders were silent for some time before an elder said. "The first time I saw her, I suspected she was from that place."

The elders were silent and one among them said. "I hope someone can teach her manners, so she can stop looking down on our region cultivators".

The elders shook their heads because, among the new students, no one could reach the aperture opening stage, not even Zeron, who still had reserve strength.

After the Seya and Jiao Dayu match, it was the Zeron and Rale match.

Zeron automatically won because Rale was too weak to fight.

Elder Lei's voice came out from the pedestal as he said. "all competitors have fought their matches, not including the competitor that was injured, and the final matches for all competitors will end tomorrow, which will lead to the end of the new disciple competition.

He continued. "I am impressed by this year's recruit, as they could astound the elders again and again."

"Tomorrow, after the final match, the interested masters would reach out to you, and it's left to the disciple to choose a master out of the different choices if you are approached by more than one and given multiple choices."

"The final ranking will be announced tomorrow."

After Elder Lei finished talking, the disciples walked to their lodges
