Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 717: Chapter 640 Ascending the Peak 49

Today is the official day for the disciple selection. All those who are eager to become disciples and enter the Wuji Sect have come from afar, gathering at the foot of the Wuji Sect’s mountain, waiting for someone to come out and announce the rules for joining the Wuji Sect’s disciple selection.

The crowd did not have to wait long. Soon, someone from the Wuji Sect came down. The person stood on a flying artifact resembling a colorful cloud, descending gracefully like a god from the heavens, instantly captivating the hearts and minds of those waiting at the foot of the mountain to join the Wuji Sect.

Five people came: three men and two women. The young man leading the group was clear-featured and wore a luxurious vestment robe adorned with runes embroidered with golden silk and silver thread, forming a mysterious protective array. Although the defensive effectiveness of the array made of golden silk and silver thread was almost negligible, its beauty was undeniable.

The golden silk and silver thread on the robe were as fine as hair, embroidered into patterns that were incredibly laborious to create. The completed design was vivid as if it were real. Although the robe’s protective function was not strong, due to its intricate production, its value was no less than that of a true vestment robe.

The young man, accompanied by the other two men and two women, descended from the cloud-like artifact. He glanced at the dense crowd below who wished to enter the Wuji Sect and first cleared his throat lightly to assert his presence. As expected, as soon as he appeared, the crowd fell silent.

The young man nodded in satisfaction and said loudly, ”Let me introduce myself first. My name is Qin Shaofeng, responsible for this Wuji Sect’s disciple selection. Thank you all for coming from afar with genuine intentions to join our Wuji Sect. I know everyone is anxious, so I won’t say much. Below is the first round of selection: chaos battle.”

Qin Shaofeng’s voice wasn’t loud, but with the support of mana, it was clearly transmitted into the ears of everyone present.

Chaos battle, everyone looked at each other, not quite understanding. There are many ways to conduct a chaos battle. Everyone could fight indiscriminately, not distinguishing friend from foe, which is chaos battle; pairing off one-on-one continuously until only one victor remains is also chaos battle; dividing into two groups and fighting against each other is still chaos battle.

Fortunately, everyone wasn’t puzzled for long. Qin Shaofeng quickly clarified for everyone. He took out a stick of incense, ”The rules for the chaos battle are simple: you fight at will. Everyone is an enemy, everyone is a target. I will light the incense and you begin fighting. Whoever remains standing when the incense burns out is the victor, while those who fall will lose the qualification to continue in the selection.”

At this point, Qin Shaofeng’s face became increasingly serious, ”Remember the rules of the chaos battle: only punches, kicks, and palm techniques are allowed. No external forces like magic artifacts or array plates for assistance. No battle pets. No killing. No severe injuries. Control your strength.”

After Qin Shaofeng finished speaking, the two men and two women who came with him each took out a palm-sized, cloud-like artifact and threw it to the ground. The artifact visibly expanded from palm-size to the size of a wagon.

The four jumped onto the cloud and drove the cloud magic artifacts to fly above the crowd participating in the selection. These four were responsible for observing which disciples in the chaos battle had more potential, who violated the rules, and if anyone lost control and was about to cause fatalities, they would intervene timely to save lives.

After Qin Shaofeng finished his words, he waved the incense in his hand, and without wind, it ignited, releasing steady green smoke. At the same time, all those attending the Wuji Sect disciple selection immediately started swinging their fists, attacking the nearest person.

Although these people started fighting, not all followed the rules. Those familiar with each other naturally formed small groups, attacking those who were weaker and alone.

Those who were weaker and alone suffered losses and naturally formed teams for resistance. When they encountered a strong opponent, they also teamed up for self-preservation. After all, Qin Shaofeng’s rule was that those standing at the end would be admitted, and he did not set a limit on the number or prohibit forming groups.

Among those participating in the disciple selection, the highest Combat Power wasn’t limited to Tan Shuangshuang, but she undoubtedly had the highest Combat Power. At first, seeing that she was just a lone young girl, some targeted her as their first target.

Since Tan Shuangshuang’s cultivation speed increased in this life, she had unconsciously become violent and battle-hungry. This kind of fight with fists hitting flesh suited her perfectly. Seeing an easy target, she naturally wouldn’t hold back. With a wave of her fist, a circle of opponents fell to the ground.

Soon, there were no enemies around Tan Shuangshuang. With no enemies, she naturally had to change positions. Everywhere she went, there were sounds of lament on the ground. Even those who formed groups couldn’t withstand more than a couple of moves and would all go down.

As Tan Shuangshuang fought her way through, some initially refused to accept it and challenged her one-on-one. Later, they were so intimidated by Tan Shuangshuang’s fierce actions that they didn’t dare to single her out and organized into groups instead, only to be wiped out completely. Everyone who dared to face Tan Shuangshuang ended up lying on the ground, wailing.

Tan Shuangshuang’s performance was so fierce that gradually, no one dared approach her to invite trouble. Then, while Tan Shuangshuang was having a great time fighting, she realized that there were fewer and fewer people around her. Everyone who saw her coming would immediately stop fighting and, only after retreating a safe distance, would they continue to battle.

Within three meters of Tan Shuangshuang, there wasn’t a single person. Wherever Tan Shuangshuang went, this gap would follow. Seeing no one willing to come forward, and feeling somewhat bored without opponents, Tan Shuangshuang eventually stopped her hand-to-hand fighting, standing with her arms crossed, waiting for the chaos battle to end.

Tan Shuangshuang’s situation left the four in the air observing and Qin Shaofeng, who was timing with the incense, all dumbfounded, especially Qin Shaofeng. Qin Shaofeng knew Tan Shuangshuang; they had met once, though unfortunately, Tan Shuangshuang did not remember him.

Qin Shaofeng is the only direct disciple of the sect leader and is predetermined to be the future master of the Wuji Sect. Naturally, he paid attention to Tan Shuangshuang, who the sect had been cultivating early and destined to be an inner sect direct disciple.

He knew all about Tan Shuangshuang’s fierce exploits, like daring to single-handedly storm into an evil cultivator’s lair during her time as a samurai and cleverly discovering and eliminating fake disciples that had infiltrated during a Secret Realm expedition, not only saving many disciples’ lives but also maintaining the relationship between Wuji Sect and Li Tian Sect.

Just as he was destined to be the future sect master of the Wuji Sect, Tan Shuangshuang’s talent also destined her to be one of the future elders and a future ally for him. Qin Shaofeng naturally intended to build a good relationship with Tan Shuangshuang.

Because he was very interested in Tan Shuangshuang, Qin Shaofeng had already spotted her in the crowd from the very beginning, and he focused on observing her. As a result, Tan Shuangshuang’s performance shocked him. Is she even human? She’s simply a walking, humanoid weapon!
