Within the hours after that, the rankings on the scoreboard modified quickly, the scores consistently refreshing.

In simply an hour, he’d jumped from the unique forty-third place to the tenth.

Ji Chaoyun took a deep breath, retracted his sword, and continued to stroll ahead.

Inside the key realm, he was not alone in being attentive to the consistently altering rankings.

“Fuck, Ji Chaoyun is within the high ten?”

“Wasn’t he the final to enter the key realm? What are the Yellow-level dregs doing?”

“Going by this pace, he would possibly even win the primary place ultimately.”

……

“All of you, shut up.” Xu Zixing stood along with his sword in his hand, his chilly eyes withdrawing from the scoreboard. “We haven’t discovered a fierce beast but, do you continue to have time to care about others right here?”

For a second, the forest was silent earlier than somebody smiled and mentioned, “Xu shixiong, aren’t we simply right here to vent your anger for you? Would you like Ji Chaoyun to remain within the academy?”

“To vent my anger?” Xu Zixing glanced over the a number of individuals one after the other and smirked barely. “I’ve an thought, you all come over.”

A couple of individuals gathered round. Xu Zixing lowered his voice and whispered one thing of their ears, the phrases coated by the rustle of the wind blowing by means of the dense forest.

.

At Swordplay Enviornment, because the competitors within the secret realm grew to become fiercer, the ambiance between these watching the sport grew to become an increasing number of heated. A number of individuals sat cross-legged on the grass, pointing on the mild mirror and discussing.

“It was actually quick this time. 5 fierce beasts appeared and two have been rapidly killed. It appears they will full the evaluation earlier than daybreak.”

“That Yellow-level disciple nonetheless didn’t seize onto it. Inexperienced, in spite of everything. Letting the newcomers compete with these skilled veterans seems like bullying the younger.”

“Don’t underestimate the brand new college students. Who didn’t come right here like this? Apart from, aren’t there many nice ones this 12 months?”

“Talking of which, what occurred to Ji Chaoyun? Within the first hour, I believed he was going to be the Yellow-level’s primary, however even after so lengthy, his factors principally haven’t moved?”

As quickly as this comment got here out, everybody seen Ji Chaoyun’s rating on the scoreboard.

Three hours had now handed, however Ji Chaoyun’s rating had solely elevated by three factors, and he had fallen behind from tenth to greater than thirty.

“Actually? However I heard that so long as he doesn’t fall to the third rank from the underside, he’ll go the extent. He’s nonetheless removed from the underside 5, and it’s comprehensible.”

“However this check is simply midway by means of, and the scores are so tight ultimately. How dare he loosen up?”

“I heard that his cultivation base lacks religious energy. Isn’t it as a result of…”

“No,” a voice sounded behind them, startling everybody. They seemed again. It was unknown how lengthy Feng Qi had been standing there. He raised his eyes and stared on the picture mirrored on the sunshine display screen, stating icily, “Somebody is focusing on him.”

“Your Second Highness Feng?!” These few individuals stood up and saluted him. “Your Highness additionally got here to see the evaluation?”

Feng Qi gave a light-weight response. He had been staying within the woods not distant, so nobody had seen him.

Somebody requested, “Your Highness talked about somebody was focusing on Ji Chaoyun? How did you handle to see it?”

Feng Qi: “In these three hours, Ji Chaoyun didn’t slack off. Nonetheless, he didn’t discover any monsters in any respect. Somebody has been following him to clear away the monsters round him upfront. The report on the sunshine display screen is obvious. When you don’t imagine it, you’ll be able to go to the Supervisory Examination Corridor to test after the evaluation is over.”

Everybody checked out one another. Nobody dared to ask why Feng Qi was so clear about what was occurring to Ji Chaoyun within the secret realm.

There have been greater than fifty sides of the sunshine display screen transcribing the key realm’s state of affairs. To know so clearly, was it as a result of he’d been watching Ji Chaoyun from starting to finish?

“However… who would do that?”

Feng Qi snorted coldly and saved silent.

This reply was really self-evident; there might be nobody apart from Xu Zixing.

When Xu Zixing had stolen Ji Chaoyun’s purse, Feng Qi had solely taught him a lesson, and let the opposite celebration lose cash with out escalating the state of affairs. Even Xu Zixing himself couldn’t determine why Feng Qi didn’t inform the Immortal Elder of the matter.

Feng Qi needed to carry on to Ji Chaoyun.

If the purse-related matter was unfold, the truth that Ji Chaoyun had compelled Qi Xuan at Hongmeng Mountain and misplaced management of his demonic kind might not be hidden. Subsequently, he had saved Xu Zixing free till now.

Ji Chaoyun was proper. Retribution of grievances would trigger nothing however hassle.

If it wasn’t for him not with the ability to bear his mood, Xu Zixing wouldn’t have performed this sort of manipulation within the secret realm evaluation.

Feng Qi stared on the mild mirror. Within the picture, Ji Chaoyun lifted his head and seemed over with a chilly stare, as if capable of see him by means of it.

After three full hours of nothing, Ji Chaoyun clearly couldn’t restrain his mood. He even forgot to cover the traces of ill-will in his demonic eyes.

His brows have been barely wrinkled, a number of veins showing from the top of his eyes to his cheeks, revealing a harmful and eerie magnificence.

Feng Qi’s eyes softened and he whispered, “Will allow you to see, whether or not I can defend you or not.”

.

Ji Chaoyun walked slowly within the dense forest, his eyes sweeping round in any respect corners when instantly, a shadow flashed in entrance of him. His eyes flickered barely, and he quietly caught near a tree.

A determine poked his head from behind a tree. “”Hey, the place’s…”

“Are you searching for me?” coldly requested Ji Chaoyun as he walked out from behind him.

The disciple trembled with concern. “Chao, Chaoyun!”

It was Qi Xuan.

Ji Chaoyun held his sword and weighed him up and down. “Did Xu Zixing ship you right here?”

Qi Xuan hurriedly defined, “No, no! Since that incident, I haven’t listened to him as soon as. I actually am not—”

Ji Chaoyun interrupted impatiently, “Then what are you doing right here?”

“I-I simply needed to inform you that Xu Zixing has been sending individuals to secretly keep watch over you.” Qi Xuan continued, “I do know some shixiong near him, and I simply ran into them accidentally. I heard them speak, that’s why…”

Ji Chaoyun’s expression was not shocked. “I do know.”

“You recognize? True, you might be so highly effective, how might you not know…” Qi Xuan hesitated for a second earlier than saying, “Chaoyun, I’ve been desirous to apologize to you, I didn’t know that factor was so vital to you. No, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what, I shouldn’t have performed that. However Xu Zixing, he…”

Qi Xuan: “100 years in the past, I participated in Hongmeng Mountain’s evaluation however… I didn’t go it. If I used to be kicked out, I’d have needed to wait one other hundred years. I actually didn’t wish to wait any longer, and in my confusion…”

Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and interrupted, “I settle for your apology.”

Qi Xuan was startled.

Ji Chaoyun: “Everybody has a cause to come back right here, and it isn’t simple. I virtually made an enormous mistake earlier than as properly, so we’re even.”

“Thanks, thanks, Chaoyun.”

Ji Chaoyun mentioned “en” and continued, “By the best way, would you be keen to do me yet another favor?”

After some time, on the opposite aspect of the cedar forest.

Xu Zixing had been looking out round for a protracted whereas. This was his third time collaborating within the secret realm evaluation, and in accordance with expertise, the place the following ferocious beast was most certainly to hang-out was close to this spot.

An odd noise got here from the depths of the forest. He drew his sword and chased after it, however merely noticed a red-clothed wandering spirit floating within the woods. The wandering soul seen him, and his lips widened in an odd arc, blood gushing out.

Simply an extraordinary demon.

Xu Zixing gave a “tsk” and was about to slash it along with his sword when a pointy wandering sword spirit got here from behind, piercing her1Nope. No error as that’s what the writer wrote. throat.

Xu Zixing abruptly halted his actions. He staggered again a couple of steps, virtually getting damage by the lingering sword intent.

The wandering soul then dissipated in entrance of Xu Zixing’s shocked face, revealing the sword-wielding man behind.

It was Ji Chaoyun.

Xu Zixing’s expression modified drastically. He compelled himself to settle down and requested, “What are you doing?”

Ji Chaoyun mentioned in a low voice, “You robbed me of so many monsters, and I robbed you of 1, is it an excessive amount of?”

Xu Zixing seemed away. “I don’t know what you’re speaking about.”

“That’s proper, you don’t dare admit it.” Ji Chaoyun withdrew his sword, and a sarcastic curve appeared on his lips. “However do you actually imagine you didn’t depart any proof behind?”

As early as half a shichen in the past, when he had not encountered any demons, Ji Chaoyun had seen that one thing was flawed. Nevertheless, the street within the dense forest was winding and tough, and the enemy was at the hours of darkness whereas he within the mild. He’d searched for a very long time however couldn’t discover the mastermind within the shadows.

However that didn’t imply he did nothing.

“…What proof did I depart behind?”

Ji Chaoyun: “In the course of the three shichen that you simply have been watching me, I couldn’t kill any monsters, solely capable of do different issues, reminiscent of… observing the sunshine mirrors that recorded the state of affairs within the secret realm— the place they have been all at.”

Xu Zixing’s face turned pale.

“I purposely led the individuals you despatched to comply with me, so that every one their actions could also be recorded. Even when the disciples who’re inspecting and watching the battle outdoors the key realm at the moment don’t have any clue about this, they solely want to show it over and confirm the details afterwards. The reality can be out, ” Ji Chaoyun recounted. “Xu Zixing, it’s best to know the implications of dishonest within the evaluation, am I proper?”2musk: i really like how Chaoyun and Feng Qi are so in sync.
