The rumbling sound on the stage gradually fell silent. At that moment, a Sword Light flashed by, leaving many people confused.
At the end of the Sword Light, stood a tattered, broad-faced young man—Huang Feng.
However, his condition was dire; his face was ashen, and there were large patches of glaring blood on his chest. A horrific wound on his waist was bleeding profusely.
As the two sword techniques collided, they began to continuously attack and consume each other. Unfortunately, his Blazing Fire Burns the Sky failed to burn away Golden Edge Kill. Although only a trace of its brilliance remained, it still inflicted severe injuries on him. If he hadn't instinctively dodged to the side, he might have already lost his life.
Looking at the approaching Sword Light, fear filled his face. His entire body was numb with pain, and he had no strength left to move. In that moment, he sensed the breath of death.
"Spare him!" At the moment Ren Pingsheng made his move, someone shouted. Ren Pingsheng seemed oblivious; how could he hold back now? It was time to decisively determine the victor.
With a loud 'bang', the Sword Light that was about to reach Huang Feng was shattered by another emerging Sword Light. A figure in a purple long robe appeared on the Life and Death Platform.
Seeing this figure, Ren Pingsheng involuntarily frowned; an unexpected turn of events had occurred.
"Isn't that an Elite Disciple? Why did he jump onto the stage?" An Inner Sect Disciple looked on in surprise and confusion.
"I don't know, but it seems like he saved Huang Feng. I wonder what he plans to do."
"Hehe... this Match is truly full of surprises. A seventh-layer Qi Practitioner defeating a ninth-layer Qi Practitioner. Now an Elite Disciple has come out to stir things up." An Inner Sect Disciple watched with an amused expression.
"Hmph, just now Brother Feng told you to stop; did you hear that?" A purple figure landed on the stage with an unhappy expression.
"Who are you? What is your intention standing here?" Ren Pingsheng asked with a pale face as he looked at the one who had shattered his Sword Light. Although he had won this Deathmatch, his internal Spiritual Energy had been significantly depleted. He had also sustained some minor injuries during the final clash of sword techniques.
"Kid, are you ignoring me?" Another Elite Disciple, with a furious expression, felt that his dignity had been provoked.
"I don't know you and have no interest in you." The tone was flat, but the words were far from polite.
"You..." The Elite Disciple wanted to say something more but was suddenly interrupted by Brother Feng.
"Who I am, you will naturally know once you become an Elite Disciple. The reason I intervened is simple: I want to save his life." Brother Feng explained lightly, with his hands behind his back.
"Why?"
"Because he might become an Elite Disciple in six months. I don't want the elite of our sect to die due to internal strife. He can do something much more meaningful."
"Oh, I'm curious. If I were the one failing, would you intervene?"
"Of course I would intervene. With the talent you've shown, regardless of the outcome, I would step in." Brother Feng said without a hint of hesitation.
"Is that so?" Ren Pingsheng scoffed, not committing to an answer.
"What do you mean? Do you not believe Brother Feng? You know Brother Feng is... Hmph, anyway, whatever Brother Feng says is definitely the truth." Another Elite Disciple immediately became angry. It seemed that in his eyes, Brother Feng held a very high status.
"If you save him, then even if I intervene again, there won't be a chance. However, if you want him to live, it will require a certain price." Ren Pingsheng didn't care whether this person was genuinely considering the sect's interests or just seeking fame.
Since he couldn't kill anyone now, he naturally needed some compensation or consolation.
"A price? Interesting. But this matter is indeed my fault first. This Advanced Swordsmanship book was obtained by me outside; I'll give it to you." Brother Feng paused for a moment before smiling and tossing over a Sword Technique Manual.
"Spatial Bracelet!" Seeing this situation, Ren Pingsheng was astonished. This was the first time he had seen a Spatial Bracelet in someone else's hands. Although he had one himself, he wouldn't dare use it openly. His current strength wasn't enough for him to act recklessly.
"I didn't expect you to recognize this item. What do you think of this price?"
"Heh, it's barely acceptable! I still have to give face to the Elite Disciple. You can take him away now. I hope he can live a long life." His tone was full of mockery. However, Huang Feng could only feel anger without being able to express it; after all, he had lost. Now that someone was helping him, he didn't dare speak carelessly and risk causing any unexpected issues.
"Elder, do you think this handling is acceptable?" Brother Feng suddenly asked the old man standing below the stage with a blank expression.
"Since you all agree with each other, there is naturally nothing more to say. I hope that as fellow disciples, you will come here less in the future. Life only happens once; once it's gone, nothing remains." The old man said these words of warning with a blank expression before leaving. His mission this time was considered complete.
Glancing at Huang Feng, who looked relieved to have survived, Ren Pingsheng said nothing and expressionlessly held the advanced sword technique in his hand as he descended from the Life and Death Platform.
Nearby inner disciples immediately stepped back to clear a path, filled with awe and trepidation, along with some curiosity. They would never have imagined such an outcome even if they had racked their brains over it. It wasn't until Ren Pingsheng's figure had disappeared that they began to murmur among themselves.
"This newly promoted inner disciple is surprisingly strong; I never expected it at all."
"He defeated Huang Feng, which means his current strength must rank him at number Seventy-Eight on the leaderboard? How is that possible? The Top One Hundred are all at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, and he is only at the seventh level."
"Exactly, how could there be such a monstrous person? We should befriend him; who knows when we might need his help?" Some astute inner disciples made such plans.
"I'm more curious about those two Elite Disciples and their identities. Even the elder gave them face." An inner disciple expressed interest in them as they left but unfortunately found no one who recognized them.
"The identity of an Elite Disciple warrants some respect from the elders; besides, this is for the good of the sect, so the elders naturally wouldn't stop it."
The results of this life-and-death battle spread like wildfire shortly after those involved had left. Just like when the news of the life-and-death battle first broke, this time it was equally astonishing. People were left dumbfounded, their eyes wide open in shock.
This time, they spoke more about how powerful Ren Pingsheng was as a newly promoted disciple and how his talent was truly monstrous. They forgot that such a person had previously been labeled as a fool, an idiot, and an arrogant brat by them.
"Deputy Sect Master Bai, this is the situation." In the conference hall at the highest authority center of Canglan Peak, the elder from the Life and Death Platform quietly recounted everything that had happened during the battle.
"Oh, from what you say, this Ren Pingsheng is indeed an extraordinary genius. The only flaw is that his talent isn't considered top-tier." Deputy Sect Master Bai pondered thoughtfully.
"However, during the entrance examination, his comprehension was at a monstrous level. Just look at how perfectly he has mastered mid-level sword techniques. Moreover, from our perspective, talent does not determine how far a person can go."
"Indeed, as you said. Looking at it this way, Ren Pingsheng is completely a peerless genius; this is a fortune for our sect!"
"Haha, waiting for a batch of geniuses to grow up will be a time of great prosperity for our Canglan Sword Sect." Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall, dressed in white robes with a middle-aged appearance and a chiseled face full of determination. This person was Zhu Tianchao, the leader of the Canglan Sword Sect.
"Master, you have arrived." The white deputy master and the old man both stood up.
"Please sit down. I heard everything you just said. This time, the disciples we are recruiting for the Canglan Sword Sect are at a much higher level than in previous years. The number of geniuses is even five or six times that of the past. In the past, receiving one or two exceptional talents was considered lucky, but this time we have taken in ten at once, and now another one has emerged."
"Indeed, such exceptional geniuses that appear once in a thousand or even ten thousand years are definitely a sign of great prosperity for our Canglan Sword Sect," the white deputy master nodded in agreement.
"I hope they can grow quickly. As long as they don't fall midway, with their talents, it is not impossible for them to become respected-level powerhouses, sect-level powerhouses, or even king-level powerhouses. I have a feeling that a golden era is about to arrive. If our Canglan Sword Sect does not seize this opportunity, we might forever remain at the bottom." The expression of Zhu Tianchao sitting above was somewhat serious.
Since it is a golden era, there will surely be countless geniuses. If our sect has so many exceptional talents, what about other sects? What about those larger sects? They either need to become stronger or wait to be devoured. A golden era is also a chaotic era!
"Alright, we need to pay more attention to any talented individuals worth cultivating in the sect and keep an eye on them at all times. Our sect's strength relies on them, not on us old folks," the three concluded this private conversation.
"What a pity; we were so close to resolving such a big trouble with Huang Feng." Back at his residence, Ren Pingsheng felt somewhat regretful. "However, that guy no longer poses a threat. Since I was able to defeat him once, I can certainly defeat him again. With my current cultivation speed, catching up to and surpassing him will not be difficult."
"Besides, although he has preserved his life for now, if the opportunity arises in the future, I wouldn't mind sending him on his way. I just hope he won't recklessly come looking for trouble again."
"The Rising Sun Sword Technique; I wonder how this advanced sword technique is. This time it doesn't count as a loss." When he saw the sword technique manual in his hand, Ren Pingsheng immediately smiled. Advanced sword techniques are worth learning whenever possible; no one would ever think they have too many.
These are all powerful tools; among the inner disciples, very few can master two advanced sword techniques. The first reason is the difficulty of exchange. The second is naturally how hard advanced sword techniques are to learn.
Even with Ren Pingsheng's comprehension ability, he had only just mastered the final advanced skill of the Gale Sword Technique to a minor success. However, he was confident that he would fully master it soon. By then, he wouldn't need to look for new advanced sword techniques; this Rising Sun Sword Technique would be just right.
"I just didn't expect that this life-and-death battle would lead to such an unexpected outcome." Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly and chose not to dwell on it any longer. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to meditate and cultivate.
