Chapter 21:the grand sect tournament begins
Azure Cloud Mountain shook with the roar of thousands. The Grand Sect Tournament was a once-in-a-decade performance.Disciples from every division of the sect were all gathered at the colossal arena. Rows upon rows of stone seats rose to the heavens, while the center stage was a vast, reinforced platform of immortal jade which showed under the morning sun.Drummers beat their drums. Elders in long robes sat in their grand seats above. Their eyes were sharp and heavy. Banners bearing the Azure Cloud Sect insignia fluttered proudly in the wind.The announcer’s voice boomed, echoing through the mountains.“Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, today begins the tournament that decides your fates! Strength, talent, and destiny shall be tested. Only one will emerge victorious to inherit the Supreme Technique!”The crowd was heavily excited. Inner disciples had to straighten their backs with pride. Hidden geniuses smirked. And outer disciples widened their eyes, trembling, whispering among them
Chapter 22:claws of the hidden part
It's the second day of the Grand Tournament. The jade arena still moved with the blood and qi left behind from yesterday’s duels. Although the stage had been repaired by the formation masters.Above, the elders sat in a high crescent formation. Their gazes were sharp and their long robes got blown by the wind. The Sect Master’s eyes were calm and unreadable. Beside him, Elder Zhao’s lips curved in a thin smile although there was a hint on hate. This round was different. Each match carried higher stakes. The disciples left standing were no longer fodder, but the chosen few who could shake the sect’s future.The announcer’s voice thundered,“Round Three, Kai Lin of the Outer Sect, step forward!”Gasps and murmurs filled the arena. Many still couldn’t believe the so-called trash had reached this far. Others leaned forward with anticipation in their eyes.Across from Kai was his opponent… Wei Tong. He is an inner disciple known for his strange poison arts. His steps were slow, deliberat
Chapter 23:the inner geniuses
The Grand Sect Tournament’s atmosphere shifted the moment the announcer declared the next stage. The weaker disciples had been culled; only the strongest remained. The arena no longer hosted mismatched duels. It was now a crucible for true talent and a proving ground for inner sect elites whose names were mentioned like legends.Drums got beaten by their drummers, echoing across Azure Cloud Mountain. The stands shook from the roars of disciples and guests.“The next round will be the clash of our sect’s finest! The inner sect’s chosen geniuses step forward!”Gasps filled the air as prodigies marched onto the jade platform. Their robes glimmered with embroidery signifying elder tutelage. Their auras were terrifying, each one was a blazing sun compared to the flickering candles of outer disciples.From the sidelines, whispers spread like wildfire.“These are the inner sect’s treasures… sons of heaven themselves!”“Each has broken bottlenecks in record time. They are the foundation of
Chapter 24:the gathering storm
The Grand Sect Tournament’s jade arena gleamed under the noonday sun. The previous battle still echoed in the minds of the sect. Kai defeated Yan Lu, one of the inner sect’s famed prodigies. The whispers of disbelief had not settled when the announcer’s voice shook the mountain again. “The next match… Kai Lin of the outer sect versus Lin Sha of the inner sect!” The crowd erupted. “Lin Sha?” “Li Shen’s right hand! He’s the one who crushes opponents without mercy.” “I’ve heard he trains in arts forbidden to disciples!” Kai’s eyes narrowed as a tall, lean figure stepped onto the stage. Lin Sha’s black robe fluttered. His aura was thick with malice. His eyes were narrow, burning with venomous hatred. Around him, the qi didn’t flow naturally, it twisted, coiling like a nest of vipers. Li Shen rose from his seat in a sharp and mocking voice. “Kai Lin. You humiliated my sect brother Yan Lu, but now… I will erase you. Remember, trash, when Lin Sha fights, he doesn’t leave sc
Chapter 25:zaoh’s desperate hand
The Grand Sect Tournament had reached a fever pitch. After shattering Lin Sha’s cultivation before the entire sect, Kai Lin’s name spread like wildfire. Outer disciples who once mocked him now whispered his name with awe. Even some inner disciples glanced his way with grudging respect. But amidst the roars of admiration, Elder Zhao Tianren sat with storm-dark eyes. His hand tightened on the armrest of his seat. His plans had unraveled one after the other. The trash he sought to bury had become a shining star. If Kai continued to win, Zhao’s years of control over the sect’s weaker disciples would be undone. Worse, his own secret dealings with demonic cultivators risked exposure. ‘This ends now,’ Zhao thought coldly. His eyes flicked to the referees below. His disciples who owed him favors, bound by threats and bribes. The referee stepped forward. His voice was unnaturally stiff. “Due to the overwhelming pace of this tournament, adjustments must be made.” The crowd murmured i
Chapter 26: Rise of the ascendant path
The Azure Cloud Sect was kept busy with whispers of Kai Lin’s impossible victories. He was the once-dismissed outer disciple but now carved his name into the sect’s history with determination. His endurance against back-to-back battles left the disciples shaken. Even the elders could not deny that Kai had become a force no one could simply ignore. At the modest yard where the Ascendant Path gathered, the atmosphere was different. “Brother Kai, you were magnificent out there!” shouted Xiren Wren, her eyes alight with admiration. “Three inner sect elites back-to-back… and you’re still standing!” another disciple said. “You’ve shown us that we’re not slaves to fate. Trash? No, we are cultivators too!” For the first time, the oppressed outer disciples felt like they belonged. Their cheers rang out in a declaration that the Ascendant Path was no longer a secret but a banner raised high. Kai stood among them. Blood still stained his robes, but his aura radiated unbreakable c
Chapter 27: duel of the dragons
The Azure Cloud Sect’s grand tournament arena was lousy with cheers of the disciples. The stone stage located in the mountain shook as thousands of disciples gathered to watch the semi-finals. Above, elders and honored guests sat upon their elevated seats. Their gazes were sharp and judging. In the center stood Kai Lin, his robe bloodstained from his previous battles but his back straight. He watched with a cold but unyielding eyes. Across from him, his opponent walked in with an aura that seemed to set the very air ablaze. It's Feng Zhan. He was a prodigy from the sect’s Dragon Bloodline Branch. His red robes glowed like fire, and the faint outline of draconic scales brightened by light across his forearms. Gasps rippled through the crowd. “That’s Feng Zhan! His fire arts are unrivaled in this generation.” “They say his body contains fragments of true dragon blood. Against him, Kai Lin doesn’t stand a chance.” “Trash versus dragon? This will be a massacre.” But Kai
Chapter 28: on the brink
The Azure Cloud Sect’s Grand Arena was filled to with tens of thousands of disciples sat shoulder-to-shoulder. Their voices were filled with excitement and tension. Elders filled the upper tiers. Their gazes were as sharp as the blades, while the Sect Master himself presided from his golden throne at the apex of the arena. People wouldn't stop murmuring,“The finals is finally here.”“Kai Lin, the so-called trash disciple, against Li Shen, the sect’s brightest genius.”“This will decide the future of the Azure Cloud Sect.”On one end of the stone battlefield was Kai Lin. His robes were torn and streaked with blood from the brutal battles he had endured, but his eyes burned bright with a light that refused to dim.Opposite him stood Li Shen. He was dressed in flawless white robes embroidered with golden dragons. His hair glowed like obsidian silk. His face was sharp, confident, and filled with disdain. At his side was his father, Elder Li and Elder Zhao Tianren. Both of them exchang
Chapter 29: the fall of geniuses
The Grand Arena still trembled from the echoes of Kai Lin’s last blow. Dust and fractured stone rained down, settling around the silent figure of Li Shen sprawled on the ground. His white robes were torn and stained with his own blood. His once-proud golden dragon aura had died out completely.For a moment, the crowd could not comprehend what they had just seen.Li Shen was the core formation prodigy, the sect’s brightest star and the untouchable heir.Defeated.By the disciple they had mocked, scorned, and branded as trash.Whispers surged like wildfire.“This can’t be real…”“Li Shen… lost?”“No… no, I saw it with my own eyes. Kai shattered his dragon manifestation!”Then the silence broke, and the people started talking about it. Some cheered wildly while the others cried out in disbelief, but all eyes were fixed on the bloodied Kai Lin who was still standing tall in the center of the battlefield.In the stillness of his mind, the System’s cold voice resounded within him. “Asc
Chapter 30:envoys
The grand tournament had ended. The arena had fallen silent, and the sect grounds buzzed with stories that spread like wildfire, Kai Lin, the trash of Azure Cloud Sect had defeated Li Shen, the chosen genius.Kai’s body bore the marks of that triumph. His robes were soaked with blood, his bones screamed from the strain of the Ascendant Mastery Protocol, and yet his spirit burned hotter than ever.Inside his chamber, he sat cross-legged, forcing his breath into rhythm as qi flowed sluggishly through battered meridians. His mind echoed with the clash of that final strike, the roar of the crowd, and the look of disbelief on Li Shen’s broken face.That memory would never fade.Suddenly, the familiar chime resounded within his mind.“DING! External Threat is Approaching.Host’s notoriety has reached critical threshold. External forces have taken their ground. Prepare for confrontation.”Kai’s eyes snapped open. A chill moved down his spine.“External forces?” he muttered. “You mean… enemie
