The Supreme Sword Master

Chapter 17

The Outer Court Exam of the Sword Sect could be said to be a grand event in the State of Jing. There was a total of nine states in the Grand Qin Empire, and every single state had a few tens of thousands of cities within it. The Sword Sect belonged within the scope of the State of Jing. At that time, all the disciples of the clans within the nearby cities and the independent cultivators there would head over to the Outer Court Exam. There were countless geniuses amongst them, so the difficulty to obtain the top 10 positions amongst all of these people was obvious. It was extremely difficult to obtain a position in the top 10, but there were benefits as well. Not only would one obtain rewards like medicinal pills, talismans, and treasures from the sect, the Sword Sect would even place emphasis on fostering the top 10, causing the cultivation resources they obtained to far exceed others. Even though natural talent was important, cultivation resources were even more important. Because no matter how great of a genius one was, if one didn’t possess the fostering of a sect, then one would be reduced to a piece of trash as well! Tang Ye’s target was to be in the top 10. Besides for the sake of vindicating himself and Elder Qian, it was also for the sake of being valued by the sect. Liu Qingyu was already an expert on the Outer Court Rankings, so he was definitely already valued by the sect. So, if Tang Ye wasn’t able to make the sect value him and surpass Liu Qingyu, then how could he take revenge on the Liu Clan? When he thought of the Liu Clan and Liu Qingyu, a strand of cold light flashed past Tang Ye’s eyes. No matter what, he was determined to make this clan pay the price. Tang Ye suppressed the killing intent in his heart and took a deep breath. After that, he headed to the training grounds as he intended to ask Elder Qian about the situation at his home. Presently, he was most worried about the situation of his younger sister and mother in Southpeace City! “Trash! Stop right there!” As soon as he arrived at the training grounds, Tang Ye was stopped by someone, and he frowned when he heard this voice. When he turned around and looked at the person who spoke and saw that person’s appearance, a wisp of ghastly killing intent flashed in the depths of Tang Ye’s eyes. The person that stopped him was a man around his age. The man had slanted brows, starry eyes, and a fluttering green robe, yet his face had a ridiculing smile. There were two green robed men standing on each side of this man as well, and they were both Outer Court Disciples! Tang Ye hadn’t seen this man in the past, but he knew who this man was. This man before him was definitely Liu Qingyu. There were many Outer Court Disciples training on the training grounds today. When they saw these five people obstructing Tang Ye’s path, many of them stride over and looked curiously at Tang Ye and the others. “I’m Liu Qingyu.” As he gazed at Tang Ye’s hostile gaze, Liu Qingyu held a ridiculing smile on the corners of his mouth as he said, “Tang Ye, I truly never expected that you’d actually become a Profounder, and you even surmounted two ranks to defeat Duan Jun. What a surprise!” When they heard Liu Qingyu, some of the nearby Outer Court Disciples exploded into an uproar, and then they looked at Liu Qingyu with gazes of slight adoration. “It’s actually Liu Qingyu who’s ranked at the 29th position on the Outer Court Rankings. What’s he doing here instead of training on Seven Refinement Peak?” “An expert on the Outer Court Rankings? Doesn’t that mean that he’s already an expert at the First Heaven Realm? My god! A First Heaven Realm expert! One that’s around 16 or 17 years of age! The Outer Court Rankings are really abnormal!” “I heard that some Inner Court Elders have already started paying attention to him, so once he enters the Inner Court, his future would be boundless!” When he saw the gazes of adoration these Outer Court Disciples shot at him, Lu Qingyu seemed to really enjoy it, and the proud expression on his face grew even deeper. As he looked at Liu Qingyu who stood before him, Tang Ye took a deep breath and suppressed the killing intent in his heart before he said indifferently, “Are you done?” Needless to say, Tang Ye’s indifferent expression was really detestable to his enemies, and Liu Qingyu really detested it as well. When he heard Tang Ye’s words that practically disregarded him and Tang Ye’s carefree expression, Liu Qingyu’s eyes narrowed. He seemed to have thought of something, and he smiled as he said, “Tang Ye, we could have been relatives. My father took a fancy to your mother while my brother took a fancy to your younger sister, this is a blessing for your entire family, yet all of you don’t know what’s good for you....” Tang Ye laughed with ridicule, and he interrupted Liu Qingyu and said, “Liu Qingyu, I’ve taken a fancy to your mother, and I’ve taken a fancy to all the females in your Liu Clan. Ask your mother and all the females in your Liu Clan to marry me, then wouldn’t we still be able to become relatives?” When they heard Tang Ye, the eyelids of all the Outer Court Disciples twitched. Because Liu Qingyu was an expert ranked at the 29th position on the Outer Court Rankings! Even though members of the sect could only attack another on the Life and Death Arena, Tang Ye seemed to be a bit too brave in their opinion. Liu Qingyu’s face sank while a strand of imposing aura surged explosively from his body. His finger pointed at Tang Ye while a strand of fierce white colored sword qi tore through the air, and it carried a sharp whistle as it shot violently towards Tang Ye. He was naturally clearly aware that he couldn’t attack a member of the sect at any other place besides the Life and Death Arena. However, rules were there to restrain the weak, and he believed that even if he killed Tang Ye, the sect wouldn’t do anything to him. After all, he was already a First Heaven Realm expert, and Tang Ye was still a Labor Disciple.
