Chapter 328: Chapter 328: I Only Know How to Ambush!

"Wow, is little junior brother possessed by the Sword God? He’s so cool and awesome!" Qin Keren excitedly clenched her cute little fists and leapt up.

Liu Dazhuang was clutching his large fists even tighter, baring his teeth and laughing loudly, "Haha, good, well done, kill the bastard!" His straightforwardness didn’t surprise anyone, given his butcher background; his words were quite blunt.

Elder Yang and his disciples all had even darker expressions upon hearing this.

Luo Mi reverted to his introverted self, just smiling shyly there, seemingly even happier than if he had won himself.

Chen Daoqi appeared much more composed, but since he had always been skeptical of Chu Feng’s strength, he looked as if he had been struck by thunder at the moment, his face full of shock and joy.

"You little rascal, truly a silent person who astounds with a single brilliant display!" Elder Shoumei’s face suddenly beamed with pride, his withered face involuntarily blossoming with a joyful smile.

This was also the first time he had shown such a happy smile since his time was drawing near.

Han Xiaoying stood prettily behind Elder Zhuang, with male disciples of the sect stealing glances at her beauty from time to time.

Yet her gaze did not stray to anyone else, but instead was tightly fixed on her husband, watching that lean and young figure shine on the platform, looking down on all challengers with pride.

Others might not understand Chu Feng, but she had a deep understanding of her own husband.

Defeating Shangguan Bei was just an appetizer.

She was certain that Chu Feng would next create a sensation throughout the event, making all those who looked down on him, who had insulted him, grovel at his feet begging for mercy, one after another.

Elder Zhuang and the others were looking at Chu Feng with slight surprise.

"This kid, probably relied on his wits to catch Shangguan Bei off guard. That’s probably how he was able to knock Shangguan Bei down from the platform in one move," Elder Huang said disdainfully.

The tone of his voice was filled with contempt for Chu Feng’s unscrupulous behavior.

That’s because when Chu Feng entered the sect, almost everyone thought he had relied on clever tricks and luck to fortuitously make it into the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

To put it less pleasantly, he had left a record that gave all the elders a bad impression of him.

"Hmph, he’s only capable of such petty tricks, not fit for the public eye. Next time, once others are prepared, they will easily defeat him back to his original form, kill him like a stray dog," Zang Jianfeng said as he chimed in with Elder Huang, naturally taking his side.

Moreover, he had an old grudge with Chu Feng, one that ran very deep.

Seeing Chu Feng basking in the limelight made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to verbally suppress Chu Feng.

"That last strike just now, it seemed to be no simple feat!" Prince Jianyun, compared to these others, was much more cautious and careful. Because Chu Feng was a thorn in his throat.

One moment of carelessness could potentially cost him his life.

Therefore, he dreamed of removing this thorn.

Yet, after several attempts, he had not only failed to remove it, but it had also stabbed even deeper.

After repeatedly facing setbacks, Prince Jianyun learned his lesson. No longer underestimating Chu Feng through a crack in the door, he placed Chu Feng on a pedestal. He started to seriously examine all of Chu Feng’s strengths.

Just now, Prince Jianyun saw everything very clearly.

When Shangguan Bei exchanged moves with Chu Feng, Chu Feng’s elbow strike, although it had an element of surprise attack, was properly defended against by Shangguan Bei.

In the end, it still had no effect whatsoever.

This... was far from being as simple as one might think. Chu Feng’s comprehension of swordsmanship must have reached a very high level.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to knock Shangguan Bei off the platform so effortlessly.

"Chu Feng, you despicable wretch, do you know nothing but sneak attacks?" Shangguan Bei, seething with fury, picked himself up and roared at the nonchalant Chu Feng, who stood above like a king.

"Heh, you said it, I do only know how to launch sneak attacks!" Chu Feng wore a broad smile, openly admitting it. "Victory to the king, defeat to the enemy – bite me if you can!"

"You..." Shangguan Bei was so angry he almost spat blood.

His defeat was utterly unwilling and his appearance, extremely disheveled. Falling off the stage, it would be strange if he was not in disarray.

Chu Feng turned to the referee "With the man already thrown off the stage, are you not yet declaring the outcome of the match?" The referee was but a puppet; he had to act according to the Elder Council’s wishes.

Being pressured like this by Chu Feng in front of everyone made it difficult for the referee to be biased and protective.

After all, Shangguan Bei’s defeat was clear-cut and without the slightest room for argument.

"What do the elders think?" The referee’s forehead was slick with nervous sweat; he dared not decide on his own.

This was a matter that related to the face and reputation of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s top genius.

If it were to get out that their number one genius was blasted off the stage with a single move by a waste with no sword meridians, it could become a stain on Shangguan Bei’s life.

Wherever he’d go, the mockery would follow.

"Since it’s a sword duel, neither side has even drawn their swords; it doesn’t count. At most, that was only a display of boxing skills. Moreover, Chu Feng’s victory through a sneak attack is contemptible and lacks fairness. This elder suggests that this round be declared null and void!"

Elder Yang was truly shameless, conjuring up a heap of twisted reasoning and confidently negating the result of the match.

"I disagree!" Elder Shoumei, full of anger, spoke up to back up her own disciple.

"According to the rules, once on the stage, the match has already begun. Unless one side cheats or clearly violates the rules, the result cannot be declared invalid. My disciple, Chu Feng, didn’t even draw his sword before knocking Shangguan Bei off the stage."

"Far from any rule violation, it actually showcases his superb combat skills. Therefore, both in sentiment and reason, Chu Feng should be declared victorious," Elder Shoumei argued indignantly.

Down below, waves of heated discussion could be heard as well.

Public opinion overwhelmingly supported Chu Feng. The eyes of the masses are discerning; there was no dispute about this round of the match.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Elder He and others also didn’t dare to show obvious bias and, after exchanging views, Elder He spoke to make the verdict.

"This elder announces, the process of this competition was compliant, and the result is duly valid."

"Chu Feng wins, Shangguan Bei loses!"

Elder He declared the result of the match with immense authority.

Perhaps to appease Elder Yang and Shangguan Bei, Elder He added, "Shangguan Bei, victory and defeat are common in competition; there is no need to be too disheartened or discouraged. Since you are an Advanced Level Disciple, you still have one more chance to compete."

For the sake of fairness and to ensure that Sect’s genius disciples aren’t overlooked to the maximal degree.

All those under forty, with hopes of vying for the True Disciple position, are granted two opportunities to compete.

Some persons, due to bad luck, may encounter a devil in their first match and be defeated. If they feel unconvinced, they can still ascend the stage and compete with others.

As long as they prevail, they can also be promoted to True Disciples.

Indeed, what everyone competes for is the position of True Disciple.

Because, whether it’s promotion to Advanced Level Disciples, Steward, or protector, as long as one’s cultivation is sufficient, they can apply at any time. Only the promotion to True Disciple requires showing extraordinary talent in the Sword Dao during the Sect’s minor competition.

Then it needs to be discussed collectively by the Sect’s elders, and finally decided by the Sect Master himself.
