Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: Direct Entry into the Top Ten

Wang Da waited for a long time, seeing that Yang Yan still hadn’t responded or made any move, he finally couldn’t hold back.

He gritted his teeth and bowed his head, saying,

"Offending you!"

Swoosh!

With a reverse grip, he drew the sharp blade from his waist and charged at Yang Yan like a bolt of lightning.

"Bang!"

The suddenly appearing protective shield slammed Wang Da back with even greater speed than when he came, while Yang Yan remained motionless.

Even the suddenly appearing protective shield didn’t ripple in the slightest.

"I lost!"

Wang Da conceded straightforwardly, acknowledging defeat in just one confrontation.

It wasn’t surprising at all.

If he couldn’t even break through Yang Yan’s defense, how could he duel?!

Even if Yang Yan stood there allowing himself to be attacked, he wouldn’t be hurt, leaving only the option of conceding defeat.

Yang Yan’s appearance had already drawn the attention of many interested individuals.

After witnessing Yang Yan’s performance, many began to ponder in their minds.

They couldn’t fathom Yang Yan’s strength.

From the performance in battle, he was at least at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation!

The seventh level of Qi Cultivation...

Even in the Inner Sect, this was considered a mid-level skill.

"Number fifty-one, Yang Yan, wins!"

The deacon at the second arena seemed to anticipate this result, announcing the victory at once.

Just then, the Sect Leader, seated in a higher position, suddenly spoke up.

"Yang Yan, may directly enter the top ten."

"Wow!"

The crowd of disciples below suddenly exploded like a pot of water.

The Sect Leader’s words were like a boulder dropped into a calm pond.

The Sect Leader personally naming Yang Yan to directly enter the top ten of the Grand Competition, what an honor that was?!

Although Yang Yan’s strength was evident to all, at this point, it was about more than just strength.

"Sect Leader, this... is against the rules!"

As everyone was still buzzing with discussion, a graceful figure suddenly stood up from the stands.

The woman next to her, dressed in white like a fairy, could only clasp her hand with a look of helplessness.

"Ruyi, do you have any objections?"

An Outer Sect disciple of the Ancient Abyss Sect, conversing with the Sect Leader, setting at the top of the Ancient Abyss hierarchy, across such distances.

The strangest part was that the Sect Leader could even call out Jade Ruyi’s name.

It seemed Jade Ruyi was very renowned within the sect!

"Sect Leader, allowing this rogue... ugh! Allowing Yang Yan to directly enter the top ten, this is against the rules. In past sect competitions for new disciples, there was no such precedent!"

Jade Ruyi stomped her foot anxiously on the stand, arguing fully justified.

"There was none before, starting now, there will be."

The Sect Leader’s response remained aloof.

Throughout, he didn’t even lift his eyes.

"Sect Leader, disciple is not convinced!"

After hearing the Sect Leader’s response, Jade Ruyi seemed even more distressed.

Next to her, Wang Peicong also let go of her hand, showing a helpless expression.

Oh well, let her have her way!

The tens of thousands of disciples below had already made the two their focal point, whispering amongst themselves.

One was Yang Yan who had just killed two during the competition, his strength among newcomers, definitely within the top ten.

The other was Jade Ruyi, standing with Wang Peicong, whom by herself was not to be underestimated.

The former’s stunning looks were even dubbed the Twin Beauties of Ancient Abyss along with Wang Peicong by numerous disciples.

Other female disciples, even if envious, couldn’t find anything to say.

Just a single Jade Ruyi was enough to overshadow all the beauty.

Not to mention the even more beautiful Wang Peicong.

An annoyed Jade Ruyi gritted her silver teeth, angrily pointing at the insufferable Yang Yan and shouting,

"Sect Leader, is it because he possesses the Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body that the sect can make such an exception for him?"

Back during the testing, Yang Yan’s inadvertent glance made Jade Ruyi feel he was a lecher.

Now during the competition, Yang Yan had openly killed two fellow students in front of everyone.

Although recognized by the sect, Jade Ruyi refused to believe it was that simple.

After all, the sect’s high-ranking members hadn’t left after sitting down for the competition.

At this moment, the Sect Leader even directly guaranteed Yang Yan would enter the top ten!

Jade Ruyi, who always hated evil, naturally couldn’t bear it.

In her frustration, she even blurted out the secret of the Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body, which the sect had ordered to be kept secret, in public.

The Inner Sect disciples on the stands, and the tens of thousands of Outer Sect disciples and Named Disciples below, were instantly stirred into a frenzy!

"He... he’s actually the Saint Son with the Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body?!"

"Yang Yan! Unbelievable, it’s unbelievable!"

"Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body... no wonder the Sect Leader is protecting him so much!"

"He’s actually the Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body?! But it seems, his character is indeed lacking?"

"Right, he just killed two Outer Sect senior brothers in front of tens of thousands of fellow students!"

"Such a Saint Son in the sect, who knows if it’s a blessing or a curse!"

...

Amidst the discussion below, the Sect Leader, who had remained unmoved, finally showed a slight change in his tone.

He coldly said,

"Jade Ruyi, bold!"

"Silence!"

An elder shouted, the sound imbued with Spiritual Power ringing in every disciple’s ear.

Realizing she had spoken out of turn, Jade Ruyi froze momentarily, instinctively turning to look at Wang Peicong.

Wang Peicong gave Jade Ruyi a helpless smile, then stood up, bowing,

"Sect Leader, Ruyi was momentarily confused and spoke out of turn, I ask for the Sect Leader’s forgiveness."

As a figure akin to the senior sister in the Inner Sect, in terms of both strength and appearance, Wang Peicong held absolutely compelling influence among all disciples of the Ancient Abyss Sect.

Her acknowledging Jade Ruyi’s previous words as inappropriate, not incorrect, confirmed the truth of Jade Ruyi’s statements.

The young man Yang Yan, standing firm at the second arena, genuinely possessed the Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body.

"The competition continues."

After Wang Peicong spoke on Jade Ruyi’s behalf, the Sect Leader surprisingly did not pursue the matter.

He didn’t even glance at Jade Ruyi again, announcing the continuation of the competition as usual.

And Yang Yan directly skipping the following matches to enter the top ten was thereby confirmed.

"Brother Yang!"

"Senior brother!"

"Senior brother!"

...

As Yang left the arena, all along the way, whether Outer Sect or Named Disciples, respectfully made way for him.

They continuously greeted him, displaying utmost respect.

Yang Yan did not respond, returning unhindered to Gu Sheng’s side.

"Young... young master."

Gu Sheng appeared very excited.

The young master he followed turned out to be the Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body, the legendary Saint Son!

No matter if his own talent were lacking, following such a prodigal figure, how could his future achievements be mediocre?!

Gu Sheng felt he was so fortunate he could almost faint.

"How’s your recovery?"

Yang Yan asked, extending a wisp of Spiritual Qi with his hand.

"Young master, I’m much better. Thank you, young master."

Gu Sheng puffed up his chest, responding eagerly.

But his movements seemed a bit too exaggerated, and immediately he winced in pain.

Who would have thought this kid, injured so severely, could still smile through it?
