C237 Top 10 Wars
C237 Top 10 Wars
What surprised everyone the most was that not only had he defeated Zhou Kai, but he clearly still had some strength left in him.
In an instant, many people started to speculate just how high Chu Yan would be able to get into the top ten this time.
No matter how one looked at it, it was enough for one to be excited about the fact that an unknown apprentice had managed to overtake so many elders in one go.
At the same time that many people were optimistic about Chu Yan taking another step forward, there were also many people who held a pessimistic attitude towards him.
Because in the ranking competition of the Spirit Apostles, the closer one was to the top, the harder it was to advance.
From the top 1,000 to the top 500 was countless times simpler than from the bottom 500 to the top 100.
However, once one reached the top 100, it would be extremely difficult to advance even one rank.
Under everyone's watch, Chu Yan returned to the viewing platform, took out a spirit stone and placed it in his mouth, then began to meditate and recover.
Although defeating Zhou Kai just now seemed like he won easily, in reality, he had also spent a lot of effort to break through the Eight Desolations Flame Spirit Array.
If he hadn't used the Art of Swallowing Whale's Spirit Art to melt the Spirit Stones and absorb the Spirit Qi stored in his body, he wouldn't have been able to break the layers of stalagmites just now.
And in order to break the array, Chu Yan had revealed his Inflammatory Spear.
In his previous plan, before entering the top 100, he would not reveal this card.
At this moment, the surrounding disciples were stunned by his actions of holding spirit stones in his mouth.
They had all placed Spirit Stones on their palms to comprehend the spirit energy within the Spirit Stones. Chu Yan, who was holding the Spirit Stones in his mouth, had never seen anything like this, could it be that this fellow wasn't afraid of accidentally swallowing the Spirit Stones and choking himself to death?
However, there were some acolytes who were rolling their eyes, suspecting that this was a special training method. Thus, they decided to give it a try.
After resting for a while, Chu Yan raised his head and looked at the name list.
After defeating Zhou Kai, he had already entered the fifth round.
His opponent for the fifth round could not be considered strong. Chu Yan muttered to himself for a moment, then remembered that his opponent for the fifth round was ranked 113th in the previous round.
When the fifth round of the competition began, Chu Yan stood up and thought: "If I were to win another round, I would be able to enter the top one hundred."
The top hundred disciples would receive a total of fifteen Spirit Stones as a reward, as well as a pill that could help them comprehend the spiritual energy in the air.
Thus, many disciples desired to enter the top 100.
When Chu Yan went up on stage, many people took the initiative to surround him.
They all wanted to know if Chu Yan could enter the top hundred.
There were still some people waiting to see Chu Yan make a fool of himself.
In the end, the group of disciples who were waiting to see Chu Yan make a joke were greatly disappointed.
After Chu Yan revealed his Inflammatory Spear, his strength increased again.
In just a few moments, his opponent was swept off the ring.
The loser's face was gloomy, but he himself understood that he was indeed not as good as, after cupping his hands at him, he turned and left.
This time, Chu Yan successfully entered the top 100 of Spirit Apostle Ranking Competition.
In that moment, Chu Yan felt the people around looking at him with a different gaze.
Although it only lasted for a short period of time, even a fool could see the difference between before and after.
Before, when some disciples looked at him, their eyes might have carried jealousy and contempt, but now, their eyes were filled with admiration and flattery.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yan understood what was going on.
Disciples in the top one hundred of the Spirit Apostle Ranking were like nobles in the secular world, possessing a status that was one level higher than others.
Although Chu Yan had defeated Zhou Kai previously, he had not entered the top hundred, so naturally he would not receive such treatment.
However, Chu Yan did not care about such a change in identity.
What he wanted was more glory and more resources.
In the sixth round, Chu Yan won again under the astonished gazes of the crowd.
But this time, Chu Yan felt the pressure.
It was not easy for him to win.
After he revealed his Inflammatory Spear, he was forced to use his blade technique, and used another trump card.
The seventh round Chu Yan was pretty lucky, as there were no opponents for him.
At this time, there were only twenty people left.
There were a total of ten groups, with two people in each.
In other words, the victor would be able to enter the top ten and become the most admired of the apprentices.
In other words, the winner would become a heavyweight amongst the apprentices for the next three months!
Not only could he enjoy more rights than a regular acolyte, he could also enjoy more benefits and receive more rewards!
At this time, the deacon in charge of the Spirit Apostle Ranking Competition had already revealed the rewards for entering the top ten disciples: forty spirit stones, three Jadeite Pellets, ten Sect Contribution Point, he would be able to enter the Shattered Star Pavilion s one time.
The Stars Viewing Platform was where the Shattered Star Pavilion collected all the martial skills and techniques.
That place contained the most authentic mental cultivation methods, martial skills and techniques of the Shattered Star Pavilion. It was one of the Sacred Grounds that every disciple yearned for in their dreams.
Hearing that this time's reward actually allowed them to enter the Stars Viewing Platform, a hint of light appeared in the eyes of the remaining twenty disciples, including Chu Yan.
There was no need to mention the other disciples. The envy on their faces was about to spill out at this moment.
"Alright, I don't need to say any more words of encouragement. You can understand it for yourselves." The deacon said expressionlessly, "In the final two matches of each group, the winner will be the top ten on the Spirit Apostle Board."
Chu Yan raised his head and looked into the distance.
At the same time, the girl that his gaze had landed on also looked over at him.
After looking at Chu Yan curiously for a while, Jiang Panmeng smiled, she tilted her head and pointed to the stage.
Looking at her expression, she didn't seem nervous like before the match at all. It was as if this was just a simple exchange of pointers between disciples.
Chu Yan blinked his eyes. A moment later, his originally tight heartstrings also relaxed.
"Yeah, there's no need to be so nervous. You just need to display your full strength."
Chu Yan cupped his fists at the opposite party and walked onto the stage.
On one side was a new budding disciple who was rising up like a comet. On the other side was the original top ten, or to be more accurate, the top three, especially beautiful young female disciples. Thus, this match was destined to attract even more attention.
Out of the ten matches that were originally being carried out together, at this very moment, half of the gazes were gathered on the match between Chu Yan and Chu Yan.
Chu Yan came onto the stage, but did not see Jiang Panmeng coming up, and when he suspiciously looked over, he saw Jiang Panmeng smiling from afar, his feet lightly tapped on the ground, and his body immediately lightened up, his white clothes revealing a pink dress, holding onto a peach blossom umbrella, he flew up to the stage like a fairy from the mortal world, he gave off a light and beautiful smell, and in a moment, the light around her seemed to become colorful.
The surrounding people were all shocked by Jiang Panmeng's appearance, they were so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Chu Yan's expression did not change, but his pupils contracted slightly at this moment.
