Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 456: Chapter 470: Entering the Arena

Chu Linfeng felt a little puzzled. Why wasn’t the sect master of the Dark Divine Hall among them? Could it be that he didn’t come, or is that Valley Master of Despair not among these ten above?

At this moment, the Carefree Palace Master said, ”Today marks the triennial martial arts tournament of Canglan Ancient Land. In the last tournament, the Four Great Young Masters and Two Great Saintesses were selected. I wonder what joyous events will occur this time?

This time, the participating sects are more than ever before, and the number of participants is also at its highest. Our Ten Major Sects have decided that each sect will select its five best disciples to compete. This will better demonstrate the strength of each sect while also saving quite a bit of time.

The disciples of the sect that wins first place will receive an item worth tens of millions of Star Stones, prepared by the Valley Master of Despair. We won’t reveal what it is just yet. Now, let each major sect send five disciples up to draw lots.

Additionally, this competition will be quite strict. As martial artists live by martial arts, during the competition, the only outcome is winning or losing regardless of life or death. Of course, if one side concedes, the competition ends there; otherwise, it’s a fight to the death.”

These words shocked the entire audience. The phrase ”fight to the death” made many disciples who initially wanted to compete hesitate, especially those from minor sects who wouldn’t dare go up. The Four Great Young Masters and Two Saintesses of the Nine Major Sects were renowned masters. Going up without conceding would mean certain death. Rather than going up and embarrassing themselves, it was better to forfeit directly, thereby minimizing disgrace to the sect.

A flurry of discussions erupted among the crowd. The ten on the stage seemed unfazed by these reactions. Afterward, the Carefree Palace Master said, ”I know this news might seem a bit unfair, but this world is ruled by the survival of the fittest—only the strong can become the rulers of the world.

Sects unwilling to participate can forfeit directly. After all, cultivating an excellent disciple for a sect is not easy, and winning or losing can affect growth. Everyone, you have the time of one incense stick to consider. After that, those who wish to participate can send their disciples up to draw lots.”

After the Carefree Palace Master’s words, discussions started again among the crowd. Most people were there to watch the spectacle. At this moment, Chu Linfeng walked to the back of the Green Frost Sect’s crowd, wanting to hear the thoughts of these declining disciples.

”We’d better give up. The Green Frost Sect now exists in name only. Instead of going up to die, we might as well preserve some strength—we might still have a chance for a comeback,” a disciple said.

”I heard from Elder He that our Sect Leader has returned. He’s very formidable. I think we should still participate; we can just concede if needed. As long as the Sect Leader can win, that’s enough,” another disciple said.

”Sect Leader? Hah! I don’t acknowledge anyone who dares to call themselves the Sect Leader. Don’t listen to that madwoman He Juan. The Green Frost Sect follows my word now!” At that moment, an old man with white hair spoke.

He Juan heard this and immediately approached the old man, saying, ”Stop stirring up trouble here. Do you know what would happen if the Sect Leader heard you? How can the Green Frost Sect have such a disgrace like you!”

”Ha ha, He Juan, don’t act so high and mighty in front of me. Even if that yellow-haired kid you talk about stood in front of me, I wouldn’t be afraid. Who is he to be the Sect Leader? Who knows where you found some nondescript kid to impersonate him? Others may not understand your scheme, but I do,” the old man retorted angrily.

Instead of getting angry, He Juan laughed, ”I hope you won’t regret your words today. And by the way, the Sect Leader killed the Sect Leader of the Daylight Sect, who was at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Martial Realm, with just one strike. Just you wait!”

These words shocked all the members of the Green Frost Sect. The disciples who attended the auction with He Juan in Huangyang City were specifically instructed not to tell the sect about the Sect Leader, so this revelation was surprising.

The old man, clearly confused, stared at He Juan and said, ”Are you serious? How is this even possible?”

”You’ll find out soon enough. The Sect Leader will surely attend this martial arts tournament. Let’s see how you explain this then!” He Juan laughed.

”So what if he comes? I’m the Grand Elder of the Green Frost Sect. Even if I have no merits, I’ve worked hard. What right does he have to speak against me? No matter how strong he is, not everyone can win people’s hearts,” the old man said.

He Juan rolled her eyes at the old man and turned away. Talking to someone this obstinate was like casting pearls before swine.

At this time, more and more sects were directly forfeiting. As the time of one incense stick swiftly passed, the Carefree Palace Master then said, ”Has everyone made up their minds? Let the excellent disciples of each major sect come forward now to see how many more sects wish to participate in this life-or-death battle.”

The first to arrive on stage were naturally the people from the Nine Major Sects, including members of the Dark Divine Hall who quickly made their way up. Fifty people were already on stage, while the other secondary sects hesitated like spectators watching a tiger fight.

After a while, people from five sects went up, but the Green Frost Sect remained inactive. Chu Linfeng knew if he didn’t go up, no one else from his sect would.

He then flew directly onto the stage and said to the Green Frost Sect disciples, ”Anyone from the Green Frost Sect with courage, come up—the four of you. Today, our Green Frost Sect will join the fun!”

As soon as Chu Linfeng appeared on stage, He Juan immediately spotted him and said to the other disciples, ”He’s our Sect Leader. This might be the moment of revival for the Green Frost Sect. I didn’t expect the Sect Leader to come without us knowing.”

Immediately, four people went up on stage, walked over to Chu Linfeng, and respectfully bowed. Although Chu Linfeng didn’t know these four, they seemed familiar, as if he’d seen them in Huangyang City before.

”In the upcoming competition, if your opponent is stronger, just concede. Preserving your life is important. Don’t act rashly—I’ll handle everything,” Chu Linfeng instructed.

”We understand, Sect Leader. Please be careful too!” the four responded in unison.

Meanwhile, the old man below the stage looked as if he’d seen a ghost when he saw Chu Linfeng, his face turning pale as he mumbled, ”This... this can’t be, this can’t be!”

”Feeling regretful now? The Sect Leader was surely among the crowd earlier, aware of your arrogant attitude. Be ready to face the consequences after this tournament!” He Juan said.

By this time, Chu Linfeng and his group of five had moved to one side of the stage. The stage now held eighty people, and after waiting a few more minutes, participants from four more sects joined, completing a roster of one hundred elite participants from Canglan Ancient Land.

PS: Excuses or not, handling things as they arise is important. Not pausing the update is my best effort. Don’t just criticize! I’m in a foul mood—hardly slept last night...
