Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 41 - Final Battles (1)



"Well, we don't have a choice for now. There is still a chance that in the coming future she may become the Sect Leader, though chances are slim with the presence of Jiang Yun, there are still chances." Elder Wu sighed as he looked at the exit of the Underground Hall from where Yuan Shuchun had gone back to the report to the Grand Elder about the Inner Court Entrance Hunt of all peaks.

"Let's announce the Top Ten list and start the final round. It's time we finish this event." Elder Lai stood up and said. He then walked forwards, facing the disciples, he announced, "The Top Ten disciples are now decided. I will announce the finalised list and then the disciples ranked from four to ten will challenge the Top Three for the chance of acquiring a Rank 4 cultivation manual.

10th Place, Qin ShunYuan

9th Place, Ma Hai

8th Place, Wu Qing

7th Place, Tan Ru

6th Place, Jin Hai

5th place, Zheng Xiang

4th place, Mao Rong

3rd place, Ling Yun

2nd place, Hou Xing

1st place, Fang Chen

Looking at the rankings, all the disciples were now getting excited in the anticipation for the final battles.

This round was going to be similar to the previous rounds, with everyone from rank four to ten challenging the top three if they are not satisfied with their rankings or challenging anyone else in the top ten if they wished.

Ye Tian Yun, who was silently observing the battles till now was also ready for some more action to watch. Spectating fights was never a boring thing for him, even though his perception was far higher then the disciples present at the scene due to his higher cultivation.

What Ye Tian Yun liked was the thrill of fighting more powerful opponents and spectating battles while also judging the battle based on his own perception.

The person who had been in most battles today was Qin Shunyuan. Ye Tian Yun now thoroughly understood his fighting style and in fact, in the Qin Shunyuan's last few matches, Ye Tian Yun was able to easily predict his moves even though he wasn't the one who was in the match.

However, to Ye Tian Yun, Qi Shunyuan's style seemed stylish but they were bland and sometimes even ineffective in battle. The person who most interested him was Zheng Xiang.

Zheng Xiang's moves seemed more precise and almost never missed. This clearly showed his battle instinct was very high, and most probably he had been in many life-threatening situations. This made him an interesting character in Ye Tian Yun's eyes.

Moreover the fact that Ye Tian Yun had never heard of him in his life before his rebirth made things even more interesting.

When Ye Tian Yun was going against God's Legion in his previous life, he had immediately investigated every member's backstory as soon as their identities were revealed to the public. He investigated their adventures, their fateful encounters, their friends, their enemies and even the servants and higher-ups of all organizations they were ever part of. He did whatever he could in desperation to defeat God's Legion. He studied each report thoroughly and remembered all.

This is also the main reason why he was confident enough to come to the Lower Heavens as soon as he opened his eyes after rebirth. And what made things interesting here was that there wasn't any mention of Zheng Xiang in reports related to the Gracious Sword Sect.

For such a talented person to not even be in the contact of Fang Chen or Xiao Ming was suspicious, in fact, for him to not be in the higher-ups of Gracious Sword Sect made this situation attract Ye Tian Yun's attention on Zheng Xiang.

He had a hunch that there was something more to the picture and had a gut feeling that Zheng Xiang could be useful.

While Ye Tian Yun was in his thoughts, the disciples around him had now calmed down and were waiting for Elders to announce the battles to start.

Without wasting any more time, Elder Mu announced, "In this final round, the rules will remain same, except that a new one will be added, unlike other rounds where disciples could only challenge higher-ranked bracket, this time the disciples ranked from ten to four can also challenge each other if they wish, though they will lose their chance to challenge Top Three."

He then looked at ranked tenth disciple, Qin Shunyuan and asked him, "Disciple Qin Shunyuan, you will be the one to start this around, but since you have continuously fought, we will make an exception and give you some rest."

"Thank you, Elders." Qin Shunyuan stood up and thanked him.

Elder Mu nodded, then turned towards the ninth-ranked disciple, and said, "Disciple Ma Hai, you will be the first one to begin the challenges. Who do you wish to challenge?"

Ma Hai could be considered a genius among the outer court disciples, three years ago he had entered the outer court for the first time, and as soon as he came, he had almost broken into the top 100 of the Inner Court Entrance Hunt, this time his goal was to break into first ten ranks, or even top three, then he could be counted as one of the high potential new disciples.

Ma Hai knew who he had to challenge as he stood on the Battle Stage. Ling Yun and Hou Xing were out of the question, he knew their talent and battle prowess and he also knew that he wouldn't be able to defeat them. So, without any delay, he announced his challenge, "Fang Chen come, let's see if you are really worthy of those beast cores."

Ye Tian Yun entered the stage without saying anything.

All the disciples who were just about to get excited saw that with just a step, Ye Tian Yun's whole figure suddenly disappeared in front of Ma Hai, it was so fast, that most of the disciples had no idea what was even happening.

Ma Hai only saw a flash appear in front of him, and before he could even process what had actually happened, Ye Tian Yun appeared from behind and slapped Ma Hai's body.
