15 days later. The Inner Court Exam would begin in another day. During this period of time, all the Inner Court Elders of the Sword Sect could be said to be extremely busy. On the other hand, the disciples participating in the exam were cultivating desperately because they were deeply afraid of failing the test and being forced to continue staying as inner court disciples. Because that would be extremely humiliating. Even though it was like that, everyone still didn’t forget one matter, and it was that today was the day that the battle between the Labor Disciple, Tang Ye’s, who challenged Liu Qingyu who was ranked at the 19th on the Outer Court Rankings would occur. After all, this matter had been a hot topic of discussion in the outer court at that time. Of course, at that time, most of them were ridiculing Tang Ye for overestimating his ability. Yet now, all of them were discussing about who would be the victor of the battle. Even though Tang Ye was only at the Mortal Realm, he was able to ascend into the 22nd level of the Sword Servant Pagoda. So, there was absolutely no need to doubt his strength. On the other hand, Liu Qingyu was a senior Outer Court Disciple and a First Heaven Realm expert. Moreover, he was a genius that was ranked at the 19th position on the Outer Court Rankings. So, his strength was undeniable. However, most of the people in the outer court didn’t look favorably upon Tang Ye because Liu Qingyu was at the First Heaven Realm after all. If Liu Qingyu was a First Heaven Realm disciple from a clan in the mortal world, then everyone would definitely look favorably upon Tang Ye. However, Liu Qingyu wasn’t a disciple from a clan in the mortal world, and he was an elite fostered in a sect. So, it was difficult, extremely difficult for Tang Ye to surmount a realm of cultivation and defeat an elite of a sect! In short, no matter who won and who lost, it would definitely be a fierce struggle. So, at this moment, numerous senior outer court disciple and new outer court disciples had surrounded the Life and Death Arena since a long time ago. The new outer court disciples stood at the left side while the senior outer court disciples stood on the right. Even though they were all outer court disciples, they’d subconsciously divided into two groups. However, the meaning behind the life and death battle between Tang Ye and Liu Qingyu had changed slightly. It was originally a private matter between Tang Ye and Liu Qingyu. But after Tang Ye became an outer court disciple, the meaning behind this matter had changed. Because Tang Ye seemed to have become the representative of the new outer court disciples. Ye, since Tang Ye deterred a disciple on the Outer Court Rankings, Tang Ye’s reputation amongst the new outer court disciples had shot up to a point that was simply impossible to compare to. Now, all of these new outer court disciples on the left had come to cheer for Tang Ye. Similarly, the senior outer court disciples on the right had come to cheer for Liu Qingyu. They didn’t care about the enmity between Tang Ye and Liu Qingyu, and all they knew was that Liu Qingyu represented the senior outer court disciples now. So, if Liu Qingyu lost, then all of them would lose face. “Liu Qingyu is here!” Right at this moment, someone shouted from amidst the crowd. Everyone looked up at the Life and Death Arena, and they saw a figure descend lightly onto it. When they focused their gazes over, they noticed that this figure belonged to none other than Liu Qingyu. At this moment, Liu Qingyu’s expression was gloomy while his eyes contained ghastly killing intent. Yes, at this moment, Liu Qingyu wished for nothing more than to immediately slaughter Tang Ye. After he found that Tang Ye’s mother was a Spirit Realm expert on that day, he was terrified indeed. So, he’d hurriedly returned to the Sword Sect and then hid within Seven Refinement Peak to cultivate diligently. However, never had he imagined that when he left Seven Refinement Peak, his Liu Clan had actually been annihilated. Moreover, he’d never imagined that it wasn’t Tang Ye’s mother who annihilated his clan, and it was actually Tang Ye. Besides that, after Tang Ye annihilated his entire clan, the Grand Qin Empire actually didn’t order for Tang Ye’s arrest, and Tang Ye was even allowed to swagger back to the Sword Sect. He wasn’t able to find out why the Grand Qin Empire didn’t order for Tang Ye’s arrest, and he didn’t want to find out about it. All he knew was that he would avenge his clansmen today.He was afraid of Tang Ye’s mother, but he was absolutely not afraid of Tang Ye. He admitted that Tang Ye’s natural talent was above his own, and if Tang Ye was given sufficient time, Tang Ye would definitely surpass him. However, Tang Ye was only at the Mortal Realm now. So, even if Tang Ye had ascended to the 22nd level of the Sword Servant Pagoda, Tang Ye was still a Profounder at the Mortal Realm in the end! He’d decided that when he fought Tang Ye later, he would attack with his full strength to annihilate Tang Ye right at the beginning and give the elders of the Sword Sect no chance to rescue Tang Ye. After two hours passed, Tang Ye still hadn’t made an appearance, and some of the senior outer court disciples couldn’t help but start mocking Tang Ye. “Is Tang Ye afraid? Does he not dare to come to participate in this battle? Haha!” “Exactly. I knew it. So what if he has ascended to the 22nd level? He’s only at the Mortal Realm now, and it’s utterly impossible for him to be a match for Senior Brother Qingyu who’s at the fourth rank of the First Heaven Realm!” “Being able to retreat in the face of difficulties is good as well. No matter what, Tang Ye is a genius of my Sword Sect, and I only hope that he’ll learn how to keep a low profile after this incident!” “I think that it isn’t just Tang Ye and even all of those new outer court disciple should learn to keep a low profile. I heard they established some sort of Sword School, and over 80% of the new outer court disciples have joined it. What do they intend to accomplish by doing that? We haven’t even left yet they’re already thinking about taking control of the outer court?”
