Soaring of Galaxia Chapter 231 Emergence of the Top Four

Qin Wushuang had a sudden flash of realization. By accident, he found that he had grasped an understanding of the marvelous stage of "doing two things at once."
At the moment, without any distractions, he attacked from left and right with the Violet Sun Sword and the techniques coming from both sides. Two different waves of sword intention attacked Zhao Muzhi to the extent that he did not have a chance to breathe.
Through attacking with two techniques at the same time, it was equivalent of two against one. In such situation, regardless of Zhao Muzhi’s strength, he was powerless.
When he defended the left, he could not protect the right side. The same thing happened when he went to defend the right side.
In the dire circumstance, he appeared in an extremely embarrassing state.
Qin Wushuang had watched clearly. He rushed forward with the Young Shang sword with his left hand and gushed out a wave of rich Spiritual Qi. With a tearing sound, the Qi streaked through the sky like a beautiful rainbow wave, it hit Zhao Muzhi’s arm.
With a clattering sound, Zhao Muzhi could not hold the magistrate brush and it fell to the ground.
When the weapon dropped, it was equivalent in plucking off the claws of a vicious tiger. Instantly, all color faded away in Zhao Muzhi’s handsome face. He retreated quickly like an injured wild wolf. On his face, there was viciousness, ruthless and anger.
He had never heard or seen Qin Wushuang’s devilish type of attacks.
In a battle between elite warriors, the result was set when one side was injured. Qin Wushuang did not pursue his attack. Instead, his hand formed the sword gestures and stood silently as he glared at Zhao Muzhi.
As long as Zhao Muzhi showed signs of wanting to counterattack, he would not hesitate to use his Sword Qi to attack Zhao Muzhi’s most important fatal parts.
"Zhao, if you don’t want me to keep attacking, you better not wave your large sleeves. I know that you are hiding some tricks in there. I might not be able to defend it, but I will send out my Sword Qi to beat you before you have the chance to use it."
Initially, Zhao Muzhi still felt that he had a chance and he wanted to use the hidden nails in his sleeves to win. Hearing Qin Wushuang expose his strategy, his heart had immediately fallen deep into the abyss.
Zhong Wuyin, the Third Palace Master on top of the stage could not help but curse in a low voice: "What kind of devilish person is he and what are these crazy moves? Did this Qin Wushuang really came from that little remote Bai Yue?"
His complaints also made the others speechless. Honestly, none of the Five Palace Masters felt that the Bai Yue had the serendipity to produce an exceptional genius like Qin Wushuang.
However, the reality presented before them was Qin Wushuang, the martial arts victor from the Bai Yue.
The fact that Qin Wushuang, the dark horse, had continued to advance!
And for Zhao Muzhi, the one who proclaimed himself the "Dark horse killer" that ranked third last year had unequivocally dropped out of the top four rankings. He could only fight for the number five spot.
As Zhao Muzhi endured his pain to get off the stage, Zhong Wuyin, the Third Palace Master fell into an extremely depressing mood.
On the contrary, Tan Zhongchi was feeling overjoyed.
Top four! Qin Wushuang made into the top four! This iron-clad fact made Tan Zhongchi feeling extremely happy. Finally, the line of the Green Cloud Palace had a genius!
"If Fu’Er could beat Deng Bohu, then the Green Cloud Palace line could take two seats among the top four. Regarding this result, even the line of the Head Palace Master has never achieved it. Although Deng Bohu had beaten Lü Teng, his strength is still less than Fu’Er…"
As he thought, Tan Zhongchi could not help but look over at Zhou Fu’s martial arts stage.
Apparently, Zhou Fu had already restrained Deng Bohu. In Zhou Fu’s hand, she held a pair of red thin silks that rolled like a red dragon. Not to mention the unpredictable moves, her technique incorporated both firmness, and tenderness that exhibited extreme power.
After Deng Bohu had beaten Lü Teng, he thought that at least, he had the strength to fight against Zhou Fu. If he was lucky, he could even win. In the end, he discovered that he had been too overly optimistic.
Under the attack from Zhou Fu, that gap between their strength was dragged wider endlessly.
Regarding Zhou Fu’s attack, it was like a beautiful celestial lady sprinkling flowers. She used the red thin silk and stirred the entire martial arts stage into a wave of red clouds. Deep in the red cloud, each wave of attack made Deng Bohu feel like he was being tortured.
Regardless of how much Deng Bohu tried, he could not escape the tangling from Zhou Fu’s thin red silk. In the end, the silk moved even faster and finally, he got lost within the red cloud and was hit in the chest by Zhou Fu. He had no choice but to admit defeat.
Finally, the curtains on the fight for the top four had closed.
The new top four had emerged. Of course, there were no surprise when Wei Yi beat his colleague, Huang Chaoyang.
Between the fight from Miao Zhongxia, the number one disciple to the Fifth Palace Master and Lu Shaonan, the Second disciple to the Head Palace Master, they had followed the result from last year. Miao Zhongxia was still better and won the spot in the top four.
Tian Zhixing, the Fifth Palace Master smiled: "For my disciples, it seems that he will be destined to accompany the crown prince regardless of who he meets in the next round."
He knew that among the younger generation of the Stargaze Palace, Miao Zhongxia’s strength would not be ranked in the top four. This time, he advanced to the top four because of his luck in the draw.
Naturally, he was more than satisfied when he made to the top four.
Naturally, his words received disdainful looks from both the Third and the Fourth Palace Master. Their best disciples had been defeated by the two devilish disciples from the Second Palace Master. Or else, there was no way that Miao Zhongxia could have gotten a spot in the top four.
However, the rules were set. In the past Core ranking competitions, there were always good and bad luck during the draws. They could only urge their disciples to fight for the fifth place.
Although the fifth to the eighth place did not appear to have much difference, the fifth place was still a completely different concept. If they were in the top five, at least, they could maintain the situation to stay on the same page of all Five Palace Masters.
If they dropped down to sixth, it would not look good to the remaining Palace Masters.
Of course, Tan Zhongchi was the happiest. Up to this point, although there were two more rounds, the ranking was set.
If there are no accidents, Wei Yi would still get the first place. Undoubtedly, the second and the third place would be the two stars from the Green Cloud Palace.
As for Miao Zhongxia, his strength was not even on par with Zhao Muzhi and Deng Bohu. Of course, among the top four, he could only get his fourth place.
Now, the only question was, which of the two disciples from the Green Cloud Palace would get second place, and who would get the third place. In the next round, if one of them met Wei Yi, would they fight with all they had?
It was basically the only remaining mystery left for this Core ranking competition.
Without a question, the one that had the highest momentum was the dark horse Qin Wushuang. He had successfully made it to the top four. As long as he could win one of the following battles, he would get a spot in the top three for sure.
Since he could defeat Zhao Muzhi, how could he not be able to deal with Miao Zhongxia?
Thus, everyone felt that Qin Wushuang would be one of the top three.
It was a historic record that had never happened before. An Advanced disciple had just made it into the Core ranking competition had entered the top three!
Qin Wushuang had almost become an idol for all those disciple from the Subordinate Countries. He had become the goal for everyone to work towards. Of course, the Great Wu was an exception.
Here, the fights for the ranking from ninth to sixteenth had also ended. Lü Teng and Jian Rui from the Green Cloud Palace had also successfully broken through and entered the rank of ninth to the twelfth. In the next round, they would continue to challenge for the ninth and the tenth place!
One could say that during this exam, the entire Green Cloud Palace appeared to seize total victory.
Naturally, Tan Zhongchi was extremely excited. That night, he gathered all the Core disciples to celebrate.
During the feast, all the disciples proposed a toast to Tan Zhongchi to thank his nurturing.
Tan Zhongchi was also very straightforward. He drank all the alcohol from the offered cups and mingled with the disciples. After a few rounds of drinks, suddenly, Tan Zhongchi said: "Second and Third, you two will not have any competitors when fighting for the ninth and the tenth place. Hong Li is good, but he was injured by Qin Wushuang. For sure, he cannot win."
Lü Teng stated his position: "Teacher, I will give all I’ve got to get the ninth place!"
Jian Rui, the third disciple did not want to fall behind: "I will also use all my efforts to get the rank."
Tan Zhongchi laughed: "If you two could advance to the top ten, then this time, our Green Cloud Palace has all the good things. Four top ten spots, it has never happened before!"
There was a trace of undisguised joy from Tan Zhongchi’s tone. He turned to speak to Qin Wushuang and Zhou Fu: "Fu’Er and Wushuang, most likely, in the next round, you will fight Wei Yi. I want to ask you, what would you do if you meet him?"
After a moment of thinking, Zhou Fu sighed helplessly: "I think that I am still less than Senior Brother Wei Yi. I am afraid I will not be able to beat him. Regarding how we should deal with this situation, please advise us."
Zhou Fu’s intention was that at most, she would spar with Wei Yi and show the difference between them. She would never fight to death.
Tan Zhongchi smiled lightly and did not answer. Instead, he turned to look at Qin Wushuang and wait for his answer.
Qin Wushuang said casually: "If I meet Senior Brother Wei Yi, I will use everything I’ve got to fight him like I did in the previous rounds. I do not care about winning or losing. I only hope to meet him in the next round."
"Oh?" Tan Zhongchi blinked and asked with a smile, "Why’s that?"
Qin Wushuang smiled: "I don’t wish to fight with Senior Sister Zhou. Even if I meet Senior Brother Wei Yi, I would meet Miao Zhongxia, and not her when I get defeated."
Zhou Fu could not help to laugh: "Junior Brother Wushuang, what kind of reason is this?"
Qin Wushuang said seriously: "This is my reason. After I talked to you on that day, I am extremely impressed by your temperament and strength of character. Thus, I do not wish to fight you."
"Are you scared that I might throw around my position as the Senior Sister and bully you?"
Qin Wushuang only smiled lightly and did not speak anymore. It was Qin Wushuang’s inner desire to meet Wei Yi. From his analysis, up to this point, it would not matter if he had met Wei Yi at any point. It would only be a difference of ranking second or third. Currently, after five rounds of fights, his momentum had reached a peak and it was time for it to reach its climax. Under such peak state, regardless of the result, he would not have any regret fighting with the strongest disciple from the Stargaze Palace!
Only, in the next draw, would destiny allow it?
Qin Wushuang looked forward to it.
