JSCMU-Chapter 197: I Look Forward to Tomorrow

Zhao Wuji slowly, step by step, walked over to Ruan Jun’s corpse.

Ruan Jun’s eyes were still wide open, looking like he died with deep resentment.

Zhao Wuji felt a sharp pain in his heart. He reached out and gently closed Ruan Jun’s eyes.

Then, he looked at Yun Jin with an incomparably cold gaze.

He wanted nothing more than to tear Yun Jin into pieces right then and there.

But.

He held back.

Letting her die just like that would invite criticism, for one thing.

More importantly, that would be letting Yun Jin off too easily.

He wanted her future days to be filled only with fear and suffering. He wanted her to live every single day in endless regret.

Zhao Wuji picked up Ruan Jun’s body and walked down from the arena step by step.

Zhao Wuji’s disciples all had somewhat complicated expressions.

Han Xiaoyu seemed to have suffered a major blow. He suddenly coughed a few times, hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his lips, and actually coughed up blood.

Zhao Wuji rasped, “Xiao Yu, don’t grieve too much. You need to take care of your health too.”

Han Xiaoyu softly responded.

Zhao Wuji then glanced at Zhou Li and Zhou Dai.

The two of them just stood there, not speaking, there were no expressions on their faces.

That’s it?

Zhao Wuji felt a sudden surge of rage!

That’s their Eldest Senior Brother!

Now that Ruan Jun had died so tragically, didn’t they feel even the slightest bit of sadness?

“You heartless bastards!” Zhao Wuji exploded with fury. With a belly full of anger, he raised his foot and kicked Zhou Li and Zhou Dai hard in the chest.

Before they even knew what had happened, both of them were sent flying by the kicks.

Their chests throbbed with pain. They spat out a large mouthful of blood and couldn’t even straighten their backs from the pain.

Yet they didn’t dare show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, they immediately struggled to their knees, somewhat fearfully kneeling on the spot.

If Zhao Wuji attacked Yun Jin, there would be public backlash.

But if he attacked them?

A master beating his disciples was perfectly justified.

Even if someone felt sympathy for them, they wouldn’t speak up.

“Stay kneeling!” Zhao Wuji shouted angrily, then returned to the high platform.

He stowed away Ruan Jun’s corpse, then coldly said, “Next match. Yun Jin versus Yue Zhao, you two begin.”

He had completely lost interest in the disciple competition. All he wanted now was for tomorrow’s Peak Master challenge to come!

Lin Ya was just a cripple. There’s no way Luo Yi would lose!

Today.

The way Yun Jin humiliated Ruan Jun, tomorrow, Luo Yi would avenge him!

Yue Zhao chuckled.

Who would’ve thought that the final round would be between him and Little Junior Sister?

The heavy stone in Yue Zhao’s heart completely dropped. He even looked much more relaxed.

How many years had it been?

Since he transmigrated, this was the first time he felt like the clouds had parted and the moon had appeared.

Even though Tianxing Sect was too small of a pond and probably couldn’t hold Little Junior Sister.

These past three months, he had seen far too many miracles. It was more exciting than the entirety of his past life.

Yue Zhao stood across from Yun Jin. He smiled gently at her and asked, “Little Junior Sister, what do you think?”

Yun Jin curved her lips slightly, “Eldest Senior Brother, of course we should have a proper match!”

She couldn’t help but summon the Tai’a Sword again.

“We’re from the same peak, do we really need to go so hard?” Yue Zhao smiled bitterly.

Yun Jin grinned mischievously, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’ve wanted to fight you for a long time!”

She raised Tai’a, about to attack.

Right at that moment.

Yue Zhao quickly jumped off the arena, “I concede!”

Yun Jin: “???”

Yue Zhao showed a smug smile.

As Eldest Senior Brother, being publicly beaten up by Little Junior Sister, how embarrassing would that be?

Fight Yun Jin? That was out of the question!

This…

The final match ended in a completely anticlimactic way?

The judge looked at Zhao Wuji, unsure.

Zhao Wuji, however, announced directly with a blank face, “Disciple competition champion: Yun Jin.”

He no longer cared about how the disciple competition played out!

He only wanted time to move faster, faster and faster.

He wanted Lin Ya dead. He wanted Yun Jin dead. He wanted everyone dead.

When Yun Jin had cut off Ruan Jun’s head with one strike, everyone had already guessed that she would be the winner.

But.

When a newly admitted disciple of only three months truly became champion of the disciple competition, the whole crowd still fell silent for a moment.

Three months!

Already at the top among the disciples.

Such talent!

It was simply unheard of.

Originally, it was thought that in the coming centuries, the most dazzling disciple in the sect would be Ye Danxia with her Celestial Spirit Root. With such talent, she had every hope of entering one of the Four Great Holy Lands in the future. In a mid-tier sect like this, she was undoubtedly a favored daughter of heaven.

But now.

A Five Element Root Yun Jin had crushed her peers with an unstoppable presence and seized the top!

At that moment, many people recalled Yun Jin’s chuunibyou declarations.

She said: Let this sky no longer block my eyes. Let this earth no longer bury my heart.

At the time, they had just treated it as a joke. But now, looking at the girl standing alone on the platform, there was a moment of daze.

Maybe one day in the future, she really could stand at the true peak and attain true freedom.

Sword Elder looked at Yun Jin, his eyes flashing with a trace of satisfaction.

He also remembered what Yun Jin had said that day, full of conviction.

She said: On the path of the sword, I shall forge ahead, if not me then who else!

That day, he had already noticed.

Although Yun Jin was a new disciple, she was born with an invincible heart.

Such sword cultivators were terrifying. If she truly continued winning, forging an unshakable belief in invincibility, then in the future, no god nor buddha could stop her. She would be truly unmatched.

And now, Yun Jin was already walking the path of the invincible!

Lin Ya looked at his little disciple, his gaze also softening slightly.

He still remembered that day Yun Jin held her head high and proudly said, “I will keep winning, and then I’ll hear you all cheer for me.”

At the time, how had he reacted?

He had smacked the back of Yun Jin’s head.

He just thought, this disciple actually dared to make a three-month challenge against a Nascent Soul Stage? She didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!

But now.

This very disciple, who didn’t know her limits, had actually cut off Ruan Jun’s head.

And this wasn’t even the limit of her uniqueness.

Thinking of the Heaven Mending Pill he had taken, Lin Ya knew better than anyone that Yun Jin’s future would be unimaginably vast!

After this Grand Sect Tournament, no matter who Yun Jin chose to follow, her days in Tianxing Sect would likely come to an end.

Lin Ya already felt reluctant, but at the same time, he was truly happy for her bright future.

The only thing he could do was to win beautifully tomorrow, so Yun Jin wouldn’t have to worry about them anymore.

This little disciple of his was destined to soar through the nine heavens!

Even if they couldn’t keep up with her pace, they absolutely could not drag her down!

Just as Lin Ya was lost in his feelings, Zhao Wuji gave him a cold glance and said, “I look forward to tomorrow.”

Lin Ya came back to himself and smiled, “Tomorrow, I look forward to it as well.”
