In response to Yan Xiaobao's quick reflexes, Ghostfang frowned slightly. The best ti to use his divine ability was at night, when it was nearly invincible. During the day, it was definitely possible to break it... unless he released the Hundred Demons Level.
"That cloud coverage is beyond ordinary," Ghostfang thought with a sneer. "Only a treasure with spirit enhancent could possibly break it. Even if Yan Xiaobao discovers its weakness, he's absolutely not strong enough to open it!"
It was at this point that the Golden Crow Sword pierced into the cloud, a rumbling sound echoing. The cloud seed to weaken, but oddly, it was absorbed by the Golden Crow Sword, rendering it unusable.
Feeling tense, Yan Xiaobao stumbled again, pulling out two spirit-enhanced flying swords. After launching them, they were also absorbed by the cloud, though the cloud further weakened in the process.
Ghostfang's jaw dropped. "Spirit-enhanced treasures...?"
Next, even before Ghostfang could react, Yan Xiaobao suddenly sent out eight more flying swords, all of them flashing silver as they shot into the sky. Each one had dual spirit enhancent, and as they pierced the cloud, it weakened so much that sunlight began to shine through, causing ten ghosts to shriek and dodge to the side.
Ghostfang's eyes were wide open, and despite his strong willpower, he couldn't help but let out a shocked cry. "S-so... many!! Damn it, he can't possibly have more, can he?!"
He wasn't the only one reacting this way. Outer Sect disciples from the South Shore and North Shore all watched with incredulous eyes and began shouting loudly.
"Heavens! How many spirit-enhanced items does Yan Xiaobao have?!"
"Most disciples struggle to master one. But he... has so many? Who strengthened them for him!?"
As people exclaid in surprise, Big Fat Zhang was in the crowd. However, he inclined towards being a backseat presence, cheering for Yan Xiaobao without anyone really paying attention to him.
Now, seeing Yan Xiaobao use all his flying swords, he raised his chin high and said, "All of them were enhanced by , Big Fat Zhang!"
Even as Ghostfang tried to convince himself that Yan Xiaobao couldn't possibly have more spirit-enhanced items, Yan Xiaobao was delighted to find that his swords were actually affecting the cloud. He imdiately burst into laughter, then summoned two more flying swords. As the spirit-enhanced swords shot towards the cloud, a silver glow flashed.
"Impossible!!" Ghostfang shouted in shock.
The rumbling sound emanated from the cloud, unable to withstand so many attacks from soul-enhanced swords. As sunlight poured down, ten ghosts scread as they retreated with the banner.
As that happened, Yan Xiaobao began to laugh happily, moving closer to Ghost Fang and flexing his power again to release his throat-crushing grip.
Ghostfang's face twisted into an extrely displeasing expression. Just as he was about to retaliate, blood spurted from his mouth, and he shivered. The side effects of opening his second seal were now starting to affect him. He showed an unyielding expression on his face and began to fall back as quickly as possible.
"I concede!" he gritted his teeth and said. He knew that in his current state, he was no match for Yan Xiaobao. Even so, he still refused to admit he was truly defeated. If Yan Xiaobao hadn't had so many spirit-enhanced treasures, he would never have been able to defeat Ghost under the Night.
Moreover, if they had actually fought at night, he would have been defeated more easily.
The mont Ghostfang admitted defeat, the South Shore disciples erupted into excited cheers.
"We won! The South Shore won!!"
"Hahaha! We claid first place! We got two people into the top three!"
"We avenged ourselves! Uncle Bai is invincible!" The South Shore disciples were cheering for a storm, while the North Bank disciples looked on bitterly. They could all see the problem wasn't that the ghost was weak but that Yan Xiaobao... had too many treasures.
"How do you have so many spirit-enhanced treasures, Yan Xiaobao?!" Ghostfang asked, wondering why he had been defeated so thoroughly.
"My big brother Big Fatty Zhang is a spirit enhancent genius," Yan Xiaobao proudly responded. "You see such a person only once in a thousand... no, ten thousand years! All the treasures I use are gifts from him. If you want to bla soone, then bla my brother for being a spirit enhancent genius." The South Shore disciples exclaid in shock, and the turmoil among the Violet Peak disciples was particularly loud.
"Big Fat Zhang? Who is this godlike person?"
"Big Fat Zhang. He's... he's a disciple of Violet Peak!"
"He's the apprentice of the Peak Lord... Heavens, he usually keeps such a low profile. Who could have guessed he's so incredible!?!?"
Excited, Big Fatty Zhang turned around and roared at the top of his lungs, "I am Big Fatty Zhang! All the flying swords Yan Xiaobao used were strengthened by !"
Big Fatty Zhang's excited words echoed for all to hear. Even the Sect Leader and others on the balcony turned to look at him curiously.
As the chaos continued to grip the crowd, Yan Xiaobao stood there blinking. Finally, he lifted his chin, swung his sleeve, and looked like the ultimate hero. Slowly turning, he walked off the arena floor.
"Ah. Life is a lonely thing. With a snap of the fingers, I reduce all choices to ashes... The chosen battle... has drawn the attention of many to Big Fatty Zhang, even the Sect Leader."
"The power of will!" he said, expressing serious solemnity. Other Peak Lords appeared surprised, and their eyes began to glow.
Xu ixiang took Lu Tianlei away to start treating his injuries, but if she were present, she wouldn't have believed it.
Sounding very happy, the sect leader said, "Miss ixiang seldom brings this chubby child out to the public. But now his future prospects are clear. His spirit enhancent has developed his will. With strong willpower and a formidable spirit, this child is one that must be trained very well!"
The Peak Lord from Green Crest Peak smiled and said, "Now that you ntion it, his friend, the girl from the oven too, Lingrou, is actually quite impressive. She might not match up to Heavenly Protection, but she has her own special destiny. She seems to be connected with the Green Crest Peak's mountain defense sword. She's currently seeking enlightennt in Green Crest Cave, and if things progress well, Green Crest Peak will soon have another spirit sword guardian!"
While the South Shore audience went wild, the disciples from the North simply sat quietly, as the sect leader officially announced the results.
Yan Xiaobao achieved first place in the united Southern and Northern Shores election battle! He will now join the Inner Sect!
As a reward, he can visit Mount Daoseed's Heavenhorn Pavilion to select a Qi Condensation level treasure!
Moreover, he will have the opportunity to enter the Spiritual Flow Sect's mysterious pocket kingdom, where he can gain enlightennt of divine abilities! Of course, using such an opportunity at the Qi Condensation stage would be a waste. Any disciple who achieved first place in the chosen battle would almost certainly reach the Foundation. That is when it's ti to use such an opportunity.
The ultimate reward was a prize of 10,000 spiritual stones!
Next, Zheng Yuandong formally awarded the titles to the top ten electors, promoting them to the Inner Sect. Gradually, the crowd began to disperse.
The disciples from the North Shore weren't very happy, but the South Shore disciples were brimming with excitent. As for the electors, their expressions were mixed. Ghostfang watched as Yan Xiaobao walked away and sighed. Deep down, he still couldn't believe he had truly lost.
As for the Gongsun brothers and other North Shore electors like Xu Song, they clenched their fists, all wanting to return to their respective peaks and enter secluded ditation!
Zhou Xinqi still found it hard to believe everything she had seen, looking a bit confused as she watched Yan Xiaobao leave. Shangguan Tianyou found it even harder to believe.
He stood there, dejected and ignored by almost everyone. His attack on Yan Xiaobao, marked by ignorance, was sothing forever etched in the hearts of the South Shore disciples.
Smiling bitterly, he clenched his fist.
"We're just in Qi Condensation. Wait until the Foundation is established... I will definitely be number one at that stage. I will surpass Yan Xiaobao and Ghostfang both!" he proudly lifted his head with confidence, a beam of light shining on him.
Gradually, everyone left the arena. The chosen battle was over. However, the true struggle between all the electors had just begun.
