Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 174 A Sweep, A Complete Domination: Senior Sister Zhou Yue's Shock

Inside the sphere of light was a separate cave, and Lang Qiu and Lan Hongwen appeared as two small dots upon entering.

Su Yu looked into the cave with great interest, also wanting to know the level of the elite disciples of the Suspended Mountain.

Most of these people were participating in the trial for the second time, and most of them had been in the sect for more than five years but no more than ten years. They were already among the elites in the sect. Using them as a standard for reference, Su Yu could clearly know what level he was at now.

Inside the cave, Lang Qiu brandished a red fan and swung it fiercely, causing the surging flames to transform into a fire dragon several tens of meters long that lunged out.

This precious fan is at least a seventh-grade fine item. With a wave of his hand, seven fire dragons fly out in succession, which are very agile and can dodge the opponent's attacks.

Lan Hongwen reached out and grabbed, and golden light shot into the sky, quickly transforming into countless golden swords, spears, and halberds that pierced down.

Exquisite level forbidden technique - Taibai Golden Blade Forbidden Technique.

He had mastered this forbidden technique to an extremely high level, and the golden blade continuously generated and slashed down, chopping several fire dragons to pieces.

Once all the fire dragons shattered, Lang Qiu immediately reached out and grabbed, the shattered flames and primordial energy converging into a massive, fiery hand that covered several acres in size. Hundreds of golden blades slashed down, causing the massive hand to tremble violently, but it managed to block thousands of golden blades.

Without hesitation, Lan Hongwen activated his magic and reached out to press down. A fiery hand of the same size condensed and pressed down, and the two hands collided heavily in the air, locked in a fierce struggle.

"The Divine Power of a Thousand Pounds".

"The Vajra Divine Power Technique".

The two gripping hands received a boost in power, causing shockwaves and sonic booms to erupt continuously.

"Gengjin Divine Thunder Net!"

"Binghuo Divine Thunder Net!"

"Five Elements Restriction!"

"Five Thunder Dragon Binding Rope"

"The Five Elements Fire Fiery Qi".

"Heavenly Heart Five Thunder Spell!"

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, employing all sorts of tactics, turning the cave into a complete mess.

Su Yu glanced at them for a while and got a general idea of ​​their strength.

First of all, it's quite strong.

Although their methods are not fancy and are mostly derived from Qi Refining techniques, they are very powerful. One force can overcome ten techniques, and most cultivators below the Loose Immortal level are no match for them.

But this does not include Su Yu.

They are strong, but he is even stronger; he has enough confidence to defeat them.

The two evenly matched contestants were evenly matched for a while, until Lan Hongwen exhausted his magic power first, and Lang Qiu barely won.

After Lan Hongwen was defeated and emerged from the magical treasure cave, someone immediately jumped inside.

Jiang Wanqing, a senior student.

She was a sword cultivator, and upon entering the arena, she unleashed two seventh-tier flying swords to launch a fierce attack on Lang Qiu.

His sword aura and thunderous sound were masterful.

He has achieved some success in condensing sword energy into silk threads.

The differentiation of sword light has not been mastered.

The true meaning of swordsmanship is even more of a myth.

Even so, with her two flying swords and her decent basic swordsmanship, she still managed to defeat Lang Qiu head-on.

After Lang Qiu's defeat, Lan Hongwen was unwilling to give up and jumped back in to challenge Jiang Wanqiu.

According to the rules, the ten people need to fight continuously, and the winner is determined by the ranking. Therefore, each person needs to challenge nine times, but they are not allowed to challenge the same person multiple times.

Lan Hongwen has just been defeated by Lang Qiu, so he is not allowed to challenge Lang Qiu again, but he can challenge everyone else.

Unfortunately, his strength was not much different from Lang Qiu's, and he was ultimately defeated by Jiang Wanqiu.

Then, one contestant after another came up to challenge, some winning and some losing. Su Yu watched with great interest until Ye Xiyi came up to challenge.

He displayed superior strength from the moment he stepped onto the stage, wielding various spells with unparalleled skill and power, easily defeating three opponents and leaving the remaining ones hesitant.

At this moment, everyone looked at Su Yu, and Jiang Wanqing said with a smile:

"Junior Brother Su hasn't been on the field yet, has he? I've heard that your swordsmanship is extraordinary, and I'd like to see it for myself."

Su Yu shrugged and smiled:

"I was just thinking of doing that, but my senior brothers and sisters were too quick, and I missed it."

Jiang Wanqing covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Now no one will compete with you."

Su Yu laughed heartily, took a step, and the space changed, revealing a new world below, with continuous mountains, beautiful and serene.

After each battle, the Grandmaster would reset the magic weapon, restoring it to its original state. At the same time, everyone's status would be restored, and spell cooldowns would also be reset.

However, this only applies to regular spells and forbidden spells. Top-tier spells with extremely long cooldowns, such as Su Yu's Sky-Splitting Divine Power and Dragon Transformation, cannot be restored or reset.

But it's not a big problem. We don't need to use such a powerful move to deal with them, not even sword intent.

As with any usual arena battle, there was a 60-second countdown at the start.

Ye Xiyi stood a kilometer above him and shouted:

"Some people say I'm not as good as you, and I disagree."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and asked calmly:

"Who said that?"

"You don't need to ask who said it; I just want to tell you."

"They're right."

Su Yu interrupted him, saying calmly:
"You are indeed not as good as me."

"And the difference is huge."

Ye Xiyi's face darkened, and after several seconds of silence, he said, word by word:
"I will prove that I am the strongest!" Su Yu chuckled lightly, without even replying.

He has a temper too, and he's given the cold shoulder time and time again. Who's going to put up with him?

The sixty-second countdown quickly ended. As soon as the barrier disappeared, Ye Xiyi summoned a cyan bell and suspended it above his head. Just as the magic weapon rose, he sensed something and looked up. He saw Su Yu pointing at him, and a huge 100-eyed demon spider phantom appeared above his head. The hundred eyes opened, and a hundred divine lights of different colors blasted over.

"clang!"

The precious bell shook violently, and the radiant light hanging down twisted drastically.

However, several beams of light pierced through the treasure light and struck his face, knocking him backward and causing his head to become involuntarily dizzy.

In a daze, he saw an overwhelming wave of sword energy rushing towards him. He instinctively tried to do something, but several beams of the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light ignored the magic weapon's defense and directly attacked his soul, plunging him into a state of confusion for several seconds, leaving him unable to react for a moment.

Then everything went blurry before my eyes, I vaguely felt something shatter, and then my whole body felt light, followed by a dizzying spin.

When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in the main hall.

Confusion, disbelief upon realizing it, and shame.

"I was instantly killed?"

Everyone around was also shocked. Jiang Wanqiu's rosy lips were slightly open, her face filled with disbelief.

A few seconds later, everyone reacted, and a commotion broke out in the hall.

"That's too strong! Ye Xiyi is stronger than the others, yet he was instantly killed by Su Yu. Doesn't that mean Su Yu's junior brother is incredibly powerful?"

At the head of the table, the chief disciples of various sects who were watching the battle were also slightly moved. One of them cupped his hands towards Daoist Xuanwei and said:
"Congratulations on another outstanding disciple from your tutelage, Senior Brother."

The Taoist Xuanwei stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"A fluke, a fluke."

Meanwhile, Jin Yinian was beaming with joy as he returned the greetings to his fellow disciples with clasped hands.

"General, general."

He spoke modestly, but seeing the envious looks in his fellow students' eyes, he was secretly thrilled.

Although it's tiring to work hard to earn sect contribution points every day, the thought of this being my disciple, who brings me so much honor, and who will soon graduate, making me feel incredibly happy to have both a master and a disciple, is simply wonderful.

With this in mind, Jin Yinian mustered his spirits and answered his fellow disciples' questions with a smile.

The commotion on the ring lasted only a dozen seconds before someone else jumped onto the ring to challenge.

Su Yu was even more patient with his fellow disciples other than Ye Xiyi. Not only did he not use his ultimate skill to kill them instantly, he also deliberately held back and fought them back and forth for a while.

He neither used any magical treasures nor forbidden techniques; relying solely on his two flying swords, Qing Gang and Zi Lei, he earnestly countered their moves, giving them ample face.

In particular, he specially taught Jiang Wanqiu, who was skilled with a sword, to practice swordsmanship like a master instructing a disciple. After a match, her swordsmanship improved somewhat.

He achieved a resounding nine-game winning streak, leaving all the defeated senior brothers and sisters completely convinced of his superiors' abilities. Even the elders of the senior brothers and sisters off the field praised him highly.

When Su Yu emerged from the Cave Heaven Arena, his nine-game winning streak meant he had secured a spot to inherit the Xuan Ting Treasure Manual ahead of schedule.

"Why isn't this my apprentice?!"

Zhou Yue lowered her head, listening to her master, the Old Ancestor Youlong, mutter to himself with a look of regret and envy:

"Jin Yinian is incredibly lucky. Where did he find such a disciple?"

"."

Zhou Yue was speechless upon hearing her master's words, but had nothing to say.

In his eyes, his junior apprentice Ye Xiyi was actually quite good, but compared to Su Yu, he was far inferior and couldn't even withstand a single move.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she sent a message to one of the sect's stewards in charge of disciple registration:

"Help me find out the information about Su Yu, the sixth disciple of Master Fengyun of Xuankong Mountain, and where he comes from."

The other side responded quickly:

Why is Senior Sister Zhou investigating this person?

"Want to find out."

"Wait a moment, I'm just organizing the disciples' information."

A reply came in less than five minutes:

"Found her, Su Yu, 21 years old, from the Thousand Feather Guild in the lower reaches of the Yuan River. She joined our sect two years ago and is now a disciple of the Suspended Mountain."

Zhou Yue's gaze was immediately drawn to a familiar name inside, and she asked:
Which Thousand Feather Guild are you referring to?

"It's the one in the middle and lower reaches of the Yuan River. It seems to have been wiped out some time ago."

Zhou Yue was instantly struck as if by lightning, and a forgotten scene immediately flashed into her mind.

She immediately looked up, matching the blurry face in her memory with the spirited young man at this moment, and the blurry memory began to become clear.

"hiss!"

"How is that possible? He had such poor talent back then, how could he have improved so much in just two years?"

Hearing her soft call, the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Realm asked in confusion:
"what's wrong?"

Zhou Yue quickly shook her head:

"Disciple is fine."

She no longer dared to look directly at the Old Ancestor Youlong.

If her master knew that Su Yu had initially intended to join the Youlong lineage, but was persuaded to give up in order to save resources, she couldn't imagine how angry her master would be.

"clang!"

As time passed, one disciple after another went up on stage to challenge each other, and all the challenges were completed an hour later.

In the end, Ye Xiyi won the most wins and secured the second spot thanks to his superior strength.
