Chapter 1993 - 1515-1516: Unmatched Prestige—Peerless for a Time!

However, the one standing behind Dongfang Bubai, Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue and others this time was Jiang Dali, forcing Ling Yun and several top families to yield for the first time, experiencing the taste of being crushed by power and strength.

As time passed, the preliminary round of the Hundred Heroes Association quickly came to an end.

Out of more than fifty thousand participants, only three hundred emerged, a dropout rate of over ninety-nine percent, and surprisingly, among the three hundred, an unprecedented twenty-one Players broke through.

For a time, the Jianghu Forum was bustling with excitement, with countless Players celebrating, as if it was themselves who had broken through the encirclement, indulging in excitement and revelry.

...

Half a day later.

In the absence of secret interference from top families, an unprecedented ’clean’ semi-final of the Hundred Heroes Association continued.

Jiang Dali still wasn’t interested in such levels of combat.

All he needed was to see the result, the process was no longer important.

From the semi-finals to the finals, the result would be presented to him after just one day.

...

One day quickly passed as well.

For those present, whether it was the contestants engaged in consecutive battles or the spectators, having only a half-day break over two days was not something unbearable.

Therefore, the battles were still intense on the second day, especially during the finals, where Ximen Chuixue as expected broke through amidst the bloody battles, defeating the top family Sha’s ace disciple with powerful skills at the Heavenly Human 8th Realm, his sword light stunning the whole scene.

Ding Peng wielded a Curved Blade as crescent as Yue Ya, slicing decisively. Although "One Night Listening to Spring Rain in a Small Tower" is poetic, the magic power of the Divine Blade Slash that kills gods and demons alike struck fear into everyone.

He fought all the way to face Dongfang Bubai but was defeated due to exhaustion from the Eight-headed Poison, which was truly regrettable.

And in the end, Dongfang Bubai, using just a slender embroidery needle that could be blown by the wind and wouldn’t sink in water, swept through the heroes of the whole scene, with none able to withstand its edge, not even when a young strongman from the top family Liu diverted the family Qi Fortune to break through to the Returning to Truth Realm, as he was still turned into a sieve by the densely packed needle shadows like sunlight piercing every gap, had he not had a Life Protection Token, he might have lost his life.

This show of dominance was unparalleled for a time, truly displaying the unrivaled prestige of Sunrise in the East, Only I Undefeated in the core terrain of the Holy Dynasty.

Besides, Wan Wan and others also performed impressively, all making it into the top thirty ranks of the Hundred Heroes Association, a remarkable feat indeed.

This outcome did not surprise Jiang Dali.

However, Dongfang Bubai winning the top spot to become the first talent, according to past rules, also equates to having the qualification to enter the Emperor’s Treasure Vault to select a Treasure and learn the Emperor’s Divine Fist.

But according to Jiang Dali’s understanding of her, Dongfang Bubai’s sudden arrival this time, winning the first place with high profile, seems to have other intentions...

(A large Chapter of nearly six thousand words, asking for a monthly ticket! About the Hundred Heroes Association, it was written and laid out much earlier, so it couldn’t be omitted, but since Jiang Dali doesn’t participate, there’s a lack of protagonist involvement, if written too long it might seem like filler, so I’ve used fast forward to resolve it, hope you are satisfied)
