No one had foreseen the results of the two battles in the semifinals. Yun Che’s battle with Ling Jie, was a visual feast for the audience, and Xia Qinyue’s duel with Ling Yun, had completely destroyed all of their prior perceptions. After the battles, those who had watched the entirety of the battle could not calm down for a long while.
In this ranking tournament, in these battles of youths of under twenty, unexpectedly appeared a Domain!
“Sigh, it is truly Yangtze’s waves pushing the waves ahead. We have aged, the time for the younger generation to shine has already arrived! Ling Yun alone could make us speechless, but this Xia Qingyue… Hehe, in front of this young girl, I feel like I can’t even raise my head.” One of the elders of a major sect said while sighing.
(Author’s ps: Don’t ask me why “Yangtze” is here! I really don’t know!)
“It is still a good thing. It at least proves that our Blue Wind Empire’s profound realms can grow to an even higher level in the future.”
“I wonder where Frozen Cloud Asgard found such a disciple. After this ranking tournament, the name ‘Xia Qingyue’ will resound throughout Blue Wind Empire. The title strongest of the youths, will have to change hands.”
“Without a doubt, this young girl must be the first in history to cause Heavenly Sword Villa to just be a side character. It must be hard for Heavenly Sword Villa to take.”
All the discussions were focused on Xia Qingyue, and few people brought up the the other participant of tomorrow’s battle, Yun Che. It was not surprising; even though Yun Che and Ling Jie’s battle was exciting, when compared to Ling Yun and Xia Qingyue’s battle, it was worse by a few levels. Yun Che also didn’t have it easy beating Ling Jie, and had his weapon broken. No matter what happens, he wouldn’t be able to beat Xia Qingyue, who overcame Ling Yun, and could even cast a Domain.
Once Xia Qingyue’s Domain was released, perhaps in the entire Earth Profound Realm, there were none that could be her match. This type of ability that transcended realms, as well as the rules of profound strength, was a gift from the heavens.
The people of Heavenly Sword Villa were indeed feeling unhappy.
Having his body and meridians frozen by the Domain, injured by Xia Qingyue’s attack, and even suffering from the side effects of the Sword Spirit Doppelganger technique, Ling Yun had not awaken even after a whole 6 hours. The fainted Ling Yun was extremely pale, and his face unconsciously showed signs of suffering… It was hard to say whether it was because of the pain of his body, or whether he could not accept that he, who had always been unmatched among the youths, had lost, embarrassing Heavenly Sword Villa.
“Yun’er still hasn’t awaken?” Ling Yuefeng walked over, with neither happiness nor sadness on his face.
“Not yet. The Sword Spirit Doppelganger wasn’t released voluntarily, but destroyed. Brother’s spirit should have taken quite a bit of damage, but he should awaken after another few hours.” Ling Jie said worriedly.
“Sigh…” Ling Yuefeng let out a long sigh, closing his eyes. “This two battles, you and your brother had both displayed all your skills completely, there’s nothing more to say about our loss. It seems like these years I have been too proud and ignorant… Our Heavenly Sword Villa’s era of reign, has to end from this point onwards…”
…………………………
Night fell with the waning moon hanging high in the sky, and the clear moonlight shining downwards. Under the moonlight, Xia Qingyue sat silently beside the lotus pond, hands supporting her cheeks, as she quietly stared at the incomplete moon. Her eyes were like calm lakes without ripples. She was deep inside her own secret thoughts.
A cool breeze blew, and a snow white image appeared next to her without a sound. Xia Qingyue lowered her gaze, stood up, and then bowed. “Senior Master.”
Chu Yuechan nodded faintly, then extended her jade like hand which held a pellet. The pellet was snow white, and exuded a light that was similar to the moon: “You used your Domain today, and slightly wounded your vitality. At this rate, you will only recover sixty percent of your energy by tomorrow, but after taking this pellet, you can completely recover.”
“Frozen Soul Heaven Returning Pellet…” Xia Qingyue was astounded, and did not receive it. “Frozen Soul Heaven Returning Pellet is a priceless treasure, it shouldn’t be wasted on Qingyue.”
“You are Frozen Cloud Asgard’s future pillar and hope. The position of Asgard Mistress will also belong to you in the future. Any treasure that is used on you would never be a waste. Take it.”
Chu Yuechan’s position in Frozen Cloud Asgard was second only to the Mistress. Xia Qingyue did not refuse any longer as she received the pellet, and immediately placed it in her mouth.
