Chapter 3796 Dragon Soul Grass
The Lingyun Sword Sect of today was vastly different from before; it was practically overflowing with popularity. As soon as Xuan Yuan Linglong ascended the stage, cheers erupted from the crowd below.
The vast majority of people who came here were looking for excitement, so the more lively and unexpected it was, the better and more spectacular.
Previously, many people had wanted to see when the Lingyun Sword Sect would fall or be eliminated.
But now, many people had changed their minds; they were looking forward to this small Sect creating another miracle.
At the Four Directions Sword Sect, as Leng Qingqiu and Situ Dianmo successively won, Grand Elder Jian Feiyang's expression became increasingly grim.
He had not expected that the small Sect, which he had not even considered before, would achieve such impressive results.
Now that it was his turn, he looked at Jian Wuya beside him: "You must be careful later; you absolutely cannot be careless in any way."
Originally, he had held this Disciple in very high regard, but now, he no longer felt much confidence.
"Elder, rest assured."
In contrast, Jian Wuya had a look of arrogance, with a hint of haughtiness in his expression.
"Elder, I haven't had a chance to tell you, but last night I Broke through to Immortal Lord Middle Stage, and now I am at the Immortal Lord Late Stage of Cultivation."
"Really?"
After he finished speaking, not only Jian Feiyang but also the other Disciples around him showed surprised expressions, followed by faces full of wild joy.
Although Immortal Lord Middle Stage and Immortal Lord Late Stage were only one Rank apart, among Disciples under a thousand years old, they represented two completely different natures.
For example, although the Little Demoness Qin Muyue was known as a Genius and possessed formidable strength, she was ultimately only at the Middle Stage and faced Core Disciples below the Middle Stage.
Compared to the Genius Disciples of the Three Great Sects, she was not on the same Rank and could not stand in the same Ranks as Disciples above Immortal Lord Late Stage.
Therefore, once a Breakthrough was achieved, it was completely different; a leap in class was immediately completed, and strength would increase exponentially.
"Really? That's truly wonderful!"
Upon hearing this news, the heaviness in Jian Feiyang's heart instantly dissipated, replaced by joy.
Although Xuan Yuan Linglong had previously shown herself to be formidable enough, in his opinion, her strength was at most Immortal Lord Late Stage.
In a situation of equal strength, Disciples from such large Sects had all the advantages, after all, their Cultivation Techniques were of a higher Rank, their Moves were ingenious, and even their regular sparring partners were extremely powerful.
"Elder, rest assured, this time I will certainly bring glory to my Four Directions Sword Sect!" Jian Wuya said with a proud expression. The competition had progressed to this point, and he was the only one left from the entire Four Directions Sword Sect.
If he could defeat Xuan Yuan Linglong this time, he would become the number one among the younger generation.
As for his opponent, his thoughts were the same as Jian Feiyang's: since he had already Broke through, he was sure to win.
After speaking, he leaped into the air and lightly landed on the arena stage, looking proudly at the opposite side. The Aura of an Immortal Lord Late Stage expert suddenly erupted.
"Oh my heavens, the Disciple of the Four Directions Sword Sect is actually this strong…"
"I know him; he was still at Immortal Lord Middle Stage before. How quickly he Broke through…"
"As expected of a Core Disciple of the Three Sects and Five Factions, his talent is so astonishing. It seems the Lingyun Sword Sect is going to lose this time…"
The people around discussed animatedly, all astonished by his Aura.
Even on the viewing platform, Ouyang Pingjiang also revealed a brilliant smile.
"Fairy Chixia, it seems you're going to lose this round!
This Little fellow from the Four Directions Sword Sect has already reached Immortal Lord Late Stage. There's no way the opponent could be his match. It seems your treasure will have to be returned to me…"
He spoke with a smiling face, but as he reached this point, his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped abruptly.
On the arena stage, Jian Wuya, who had been incredibly arrogant and triumphant, was directly sent flying, spitting blood in mid-air.
He then fell heavily to the ground, struggling a few times but unable to get up. His injuries were clearly severe; even if he hadn't lost his life, he likely wouldn't recover in a short period.
However, what everyone was focused on was not his injuries, but the proud woman on the stage.
One Move! It was one Move again!
A Core Disciple of one of the Five Factions, an Immortal Lord Late Stage expert, couldn't even withstand one Move in front of her.
After a brief silence, the scene erupted in an uproar.
"Oh my heavens, the Lingyun Sword Sect is going to be Heaven-Defying! This is too strong…"
"An undefeated myth! This small Sect has actually created an undefeated myth…"
"How is this woman so strong? Where did this Prodigy come from…"
The surrounding crowd grew more and more excited, each one as if pumped with adrenaline, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
Some even jumped up and down, cheering and shouting continuously.
The Four Directions Sword Sect, on the other hand, was in complete silence. They had been full of confidence and hope, but in just a moment, the hope that had just ignited was directly extinguished by the other party.
Grand Elder Jian Feiyang's face was extremely grim. The Four Directions Sword Sect was a powerful existence among the Five Factions, and this was the first time they had been completely eliminated so early in the Hundred Champions Competition.
Most crucially, he could not accept that the Core Disciples meticulously cultivated within his own Sect were inferior to a small Sect that had never been heard of.
But whether he accepted it or believed it, the matter was right there, it had already happened, and the result could not be changed.

On the viewing platform, Ouyang Pingjiang's dazed expression had not yet faded; he also could not believe such a result.
To be able to defeat Jian Wuya in one Move, even if the opponent had just Broke through to Immortal Lord Late Stage, and even if there was some carelessness and underestimation, this strength was absolutely not to be underestimated.
Looking at their Guiyuan Sect, perhaps only Xifeng Lie could barely achieve it.
Fairy Chixia, however, was in a great mood, smiling brilliantly, and reached out to grab the two seven-core mushrooms from his hand.
"I thank Elder Ouyang here."
"I…"
Ouyang Pingjiang, who had always been calm and composed, now had an old face flushed red like a pig's liver.
Losing four tenth-grade immortal spirit grasses at once made his heart ache immensely, but the most crucial thing was the憋屈 (unresolved resentment/frustration) in his heart.
How did he lose? How could the Lingyun Sword Sect be so Heaven-Defying, winning three consecutive matches? Such a record was something even their Three Great Sects could not achieve.
But no matter what, he had indeed lost.
Wu Huo Daojun smiled slightly: "Elder Ouyang, you really misjudged this time."
"I refuse to believe it; I can't keep being wrong."
Ouyang Pingjiang's old face flushed red as he looked at Fairy Chixia, "I don't believe the Lingyun Sword Sect can keep winning. How about we make another bet?"
Having lost three consecutive matches while sitting there made him lose face, so he was eager to win one back.
"Alright!"
Fairy Chixia smiled, "What will Elder Ouyang use as a wager this time?"
"This…"
Ouyang Pingjiang hesitated for a moment. He had to admit that both the seven-core mushroom and the Jade Stream Void Wood were top-grade treasures.
Even as the Grand Elder of the Guiyuan Sect, he couldn't just casually take them out.
"Bet this."
With that, he flipped his wrist, and three palm-length green Spiritual Plants appeared in his palm.
These things had a very peculiar shape, as if they were three Azure Dragons baring their fangs and claws, and the Spiritual Qi they emitted was incredibly rich.
Fairy Chixia raised an eyebrow upon seeing them: "These are Dragon Soul Grass!"
