Chapter 547: I Will Rise to the Challenge

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Disciples from all the peaks challenged each other on the fighting ring, and half a day went by after rounds and rounds of battles.

Although only 100 disciples from each peak could take part in the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks, the length of the competition varied, since it was an open arena that had no rules.

In the previous editions of the same comepetition, the shorter ones ended in a day, while some went on for as long as half a month.

In the last Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks, many evenly matched talents battled each other for at least an hour.

The first half of the day saw the conclusion of dozens of battles. Feng Shaoyu accepted the challenge from two Lv 9 Enlightenment martial artists, and ended with one win and one loss.

Su Mo had yet to challenge anyone, neither did anyone challenge him.

He did not challenge anyone yet because the disciples that stepped up so far were too weak for him. Since the real experts had yet to show themselves, naturally, he could not be bothered to initiate one.

On the other hand, no one challenged Su Mo because they felt that he was too weak. After all, Su Mo concealed his true cultivation to act like he was only at peak Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm, which was even lower than Feng Shaoyu’s cultivation, so no one wanted to challenge him.

This was in spite of the fact that everyone knew Su Mo was powerful enough to easily challenge opponents who were three levels above him.

However, all of the geniuses here were above Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm, so they could not possibly wish to challenge Su Mo, who was merely at Lv 5.

“11th Junior Brother, no one would challenge you if you conceal your true cultivation!” Yun Fei commented with a shake of his head. He did not understand what was the point of Su Mo doing such a thing.

Su Mo laughed and replied, “If no one challenges me, I’ll be able to challenge whoever I want later. I love the freedom of choice!”

Yun Fei was left speechless by Su Mo’s reply. It seems like this has been his plan all along.

While they chatted, a beautiful figure landed on the fighting ring.

She was none other than Hong Qingxuan.

Su Mo was piqued by her appearance, since he was curious to know how she had improved after reaching the same level as him.

Meanwhile, Hong Qingxuan glanced around and said warmly, “I’m Hong Qingxuan from Dark Sky Peak, and would like to learn from my fellow disciples!”

As the only disciple of Fairy of the Ninth Heaven, and a peerless beauty at that, Hong Qingxuan was famous in Celestialspirit Sect. Most of the disciples knew of her.

Many disciples were eager to challenge her when they saw it was Hong Qingxuan in the ring. After all, it would be their honor exchanging blows ith such a beauty.

Swoosh!

Almost immediately, a young man from Sky-caging Peak landed on the fighting ring.

He was a handsome young man in a silver long robe, and his cultivation was at peak Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm.

“Junior Sister Hong, I’ll challenge you!” the silver-robed young man said with a confident smile. Although Hong Qingxuan was a peerless genius, she was a level below him after all.

It would be for the better if their relationship improved after this battle.

Hong Qingxuan only nodded her head in response.

She then raised her slender hand and shot out a teal petal made of Vital Spirit.

The teal petal was as big as a millstone, sharp as a blade but also contained vast aura of liveliness. However, its power was extremely terrifying as well, and the silver-robed young man was surprised by how much Wood Energy that it contained.

Whoosh!

The young man dodged the attack instead of facing it head-on.

The next moment, a sky full of petals greeted him. These beautiful petals were not as strong as the previous one in terms of individual strength, but there were so many of them, and they sealed off the entire arena.

The young man’s expression changed. He did not expect Hong Qingxuan to be so strong, she was much more powerful than than he was.

“Begone!” the young man sent out dozens of large palm prints when he saw he had nowhere to hide.

These palm prints embodied a destructive force as they headed toward the petals.

However, the petals still tore through all the palm prints almost instantaneously.

Rumble!

The palm prints dissipated into terrifying shock waves after they were destroyed by the petals.

Meanwhile, the sky full of petals did not slow down, and approached the young man in a blink of an eye.

“What?” the young man’s face changed completely. He hasitily fomed a giant Defensive Air Shield with his Vital Spirit.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

In the next moment, the Defensive Air Shield shattered almost instanteously after the sky full of petals crashed against it.

The petals then struck the young man and tore through his Body-protection Vital Spirit as well.

“Uh!” the young man let out a muffled moan as he was sent flying for over 10 kilometers, finally crashing beneath the fighting ring.

The young man looked very disheveled, his clothes torn into shreds and his face covered in dirt. However, he did not sustain any injuries since the most of the power from the petals had been shaved off by his attack and his defensive abilities!

He looked rather pale since his plan was to build a better relationship with Hong Qingxuan through this battle, but now she showed she was so strong she could defeat him with such ease.

Not only at his plan, he also suffered a humiliating defeat at her hands!

He then returned to his peak, looking utterly defeated.

Hong Qingxuan’s strength impressed the spectators. She had defeated a peak Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm martial artist with such ease.

Su Mo was not surprised by her strength. He sensed that even average martial artist at peak Lv9 Enlightenment Realm would not be a match for her.

Hong Qingxuan remained in the fighting ring after her first victory. Not long after, an Inifinite Sky Peak disciple of Peak Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm rose to the challenge.

They were soon engaged in a fierce battle.

Meanwhere, at the mountain occupied by Holy Sky Peak, Elder Wei turned to look at the gathered disciples, and asked. “You should have an indication of Towering Sky Peak’s strength after watching Feng Shaoyu’s battles, right?”

Everyone nodded in response. “If Feng Shaoyu could fight someone three levels above him, Su Mo and Hua Suiyu would not be too far off!”

“Which one of you will challenge the disciples of Towering Sky Peak later?” Elder Wei asked.

“I will!” a disciple replied right away.

“Xiao Xuanyi, are you confident in beating Feng Shaoyu?” Elder Wei asked.

The disciple who responded was none other than Xiao Xuanyi.

Xiao Xuanyi had initially planned to wait for Su Mo to show his strength on the fighting ring before deciding on whether to challenge him, but now he was impatient to begin.

He might hate Su Mo to the core, but he did not dare undestimate Su Mo, given the fact that he was a sublime talent. He already possessed the power of a Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm martial artist previously at Skysea Lake, and he knew Su Mo could have only become stronger since.

However, since Su Mo had yet to enter the fighting ring, he had to challenge Su Mo himself!
