The two young maidens’ fight for the number one posting was absolutely thrilling, a spectacle for Yun Yang and the other Supremes to watch.
Both girls were dainty and delicate. If one were a glistening pearl, another would be an emerald jade. One would be utterly fond of them with a single glance.
Ling Xiaorou was a year or two older than Yun Xiuxin, and was thus an inch and a half taller than the latter. Yun Xiuxiu was cold and aloof, but Ling Xiaorou, too, was frosty with a sharp and unruffled gaze.
When the battle began, the girls’ usual gentleness was gone; each of their styles was fierce, and each form was fatal. An injury for an injury, a life for a life; it was exceptionally vicious.
Blood was shed from both girls in just five exchanges as one was more savage than the other, while one was more cut-throat than another. They were unrelenting, embodying the prime example of being merciless.
The higher-level management of the Residence of Nine Supremes held their breaths watching the young maidens.
The saying that women’s ultimate priority was their beauty did not exist between these two young girls. Many of their attacks were directed at each other’s faces.
“Can’t judge a book by its cover… I thought that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but why are girls the same as well?”
Luo Dajiang, who prided himself as a ruthless person, hissed as well when he saw the scene, feeling baffled. They were utterly crazy!
The sword light flickered in the ring with its icy radiance.
Both girls were equal rivals, so evenly matched that it seemed like there was no issue for the bout to go on for another hour. Besides, Yun Yang and the other Supremes could already imagine that the winner, in the end, would probably be the first girl who stood up first, after plopping onto the ground from being too exhausted…
Two rays of light shone in unison at this point of time as both maidens picked themselves up and charged towards each other with a soft cry, wielding their swords.
Both of them were clever, knowing that their actual abilities and ambition were on par and it would not be easy to determine the winner, thus they resorted to using the riskiest approach.
‘You want to make your master proud, so do I - it’s not only you fellows who want the glory - I do too!’
Looking at their demeanor, both little girls did not seem to care for their lives as their actions were resolute, not looking back once they had decided and not minding death in the slightest.
In spite of it, their cultivation base was similar, their actual combat force was identical, and their ability to deal damage were comparable as well. It was sufficient to kill someone, but their self-defense mechanisms obviously could not keep up.
“Both of them will probably kill themselves during the collision…” Tie Qingcang had already stood up.
“No.”
Luo Dajiang had been observing every movement in the ring, watching the scene seriously and meticulously. He spoke slowly, “Ling Xiaorou is already expended long ago, she’s staggering, merely pushing herself on now. Yun Xiuxin is tired as well, but at least she’s not swaying… The result is clear. Obviously, both will be sacrificed in this attack. Yun Xiuxin is slightly better, but she won’t be able to escape this thrust of the sword.”
“Both attacks are aimed towards the heart. These girls… are really brutal!”
On the other side, Kong Luoyue had already risen and shouted for a halt. “Surrender!”
He flew out like a strike of lightning. Simultaneously, Yun Yang, Shi Wuchen, Ren Qingkuang, and others had stood up as well, but sat themselves down again upon seeing that Kong Luoyue had gone to the rescue.
When they finally had potential talents like these, they could not be destroyed in a mere intra-sect match!
With a soft brush, the young girls were separated.
They landed on the floor, staggering a few steps, before falling on the ground. What was different was that Yun Xiuxin sprung up once she landed, like she had springs attached to her lower bottom, her sword drawing circles before she held it behind her in a clean manner.
Contrary to Yun Xiuxin, Ling Xiaorou picked herself up quickly but was unable to stand up right away. It was only by leveraging on her sword that was held perpendicular to the ground that she managed to push herself up. She knew that she had lost, her lips pursed to hold herself back from wailing.
Her eyes were rimmed red, tears pitter-pattering as they dropped. Under Kong Luoyue’s gentle comforting, she wiped her eyes and spoke, “Senior Sister Yun, I’ll beat you the next time!”
“I won’t lose!” Yun Xiuxin replied, panting harshly.
She took in another gulp of air and announced loudly, “Across the same level, I won’t lose!”
Everyone was baffled.
How did she have the confidence to say that she would be unrivaled in the same level? Did she not know that the handful of children at the bottom of Earth Mystic had just progressed into the level before the contest? Any one of them could easily beat the girl who had just reached the Jade Mystic realm.
Yun Xiuxin walked to the podium shakily and came to the front of Yun Yang with a bow. “This disciple… didn’t fail her task! I didn’t let master down.”
Yun Yang looked warm as he answered with a smile, “Not bad, not bad at all! Xiuxin, it was worth my effort to give you this name.”
The girl was an orphan before she came to the Residence of Nine Supremes, only knowing that she was called Xiu’er without any first or last name. Empathizing, Yun Yang gave her the name Yun Xiuxin; it was normal for a disciple to take after the master’s family name anyway.
He had not expected the girl to risk her life today.
The match for the nine class disciples that followed saw two protégés from Yun Yang entering the top three places, seizing the first and the third, while the second spot was grabbed by Luo Dajiang’s pupil.
“The children are beginning to grow up.”
Lan Ruojun looked comforted after the meet.
It was worthy to note that all the disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes had gained some form of growth from this match. They had gotten an opportunity to train their characters and state of mind. Many pupils who were rather lost before the match seemed to have been wakened up by a bell as they gained clarity after the bouts.
When the children left, they left with wonder on their faces. It was plain to see that this tournament had deeply affected each disciple, be it physically or mentally.
Ling Xiaorou wiped her tears beside Bai Yexing.
“Senior Brother Bai, I’ve lost…”
“It’s okay. You can win the next time.”
“But I’m sad…”
“I’ll practice with you tonight. Earlier, I saw a technique of yours that could be improved upon…”
“Okay…”
Yun Yang could not help chortling, listening to the two children whisper to each other as they left. Looking at Yun Xiuxin beside him who still wore a gritty expression as the fierceness had yet to leave her mannerism, Yun Yang judged the situation subconsciously.
As a woman, Yun Xiuxin was weaker than Ling Xiaorou in terms of intention, strategy, or utilizing her innate specialty; As a martial artist, however, she was a notch higher than the latter. Ling Xiaorou knew how to bend and yield, but Yun Xiuxin was the uncompromising type of girl.
If these two girls could rise to the Honor level, they could be named The Legendary Belles.
Yun Yang was already considering the moniker for when his disciples would roam the martial world…
…
Yun Yang began yet another assignment instantly.
Shi Wuchen kept giving him looks, unable to hold himself calmly.
“Qian Duoduo!”
“Here!”
“Retrieve ten sets of information on the human traffickers.”
“Ten sets?”
“Yes.”
…
“Ten of you are to lead a team each for a mission. You can accept the rewards regarding these human traffickers. Your mission is to exterminate ten human trafficking organizations.”
“Each team consists of ten people?”
“Oh… Ping Xiaoyi, you lead nine people. There’s no problem there now, yes?”
Yun Yang commanded from his seat, not at all embarrassed that he needed a discreet reminder on the headcount.
“The duration is three days. All of you must return on the third day whether you complete your mission or not!”
“Understood.”
“According to your level of completion, this will be the second time the nine peaks are ranked.”
“This is the Residence of Nine Supremes’ first conquest. Don’t you all dare to shame me!”
“Understood!”
