Supreme Emperor of Swords

Vol 1, Chapter 50: Li Lan

 

 

 

 

 TL: Godspell

 

 

 

After thinking a bit, Ding Hao decided to learn the sword technique.

 

 

The chosen disciple Song Feixiong from the West River Bank, in truth, had not comprehended the true essence of the sword technique, he had just grasped the bottom line, that’s why he failed to establish its true might.

 

 

Right now, Zhang Fan and all the other disciples from the East River Bank had formed a big circle around Ding Hao, forbidding anyone to disturb Ding Hao’s time of rest and his preparation for the upcoming second round of competition!

 

 

…….
 

 

 

“Didn’t think Ding Hao will also win his battle!” At a distance, Ge Yin is very much surprised.

 

 

“He was just lucky to meet a trash from the West River Bank.” Obviously, Zhang Tianlun is not happy with Ding Hao victory.

 

 

Although both are the disciples from the same East River Bank, but Ding Hao’s win, had caused both the Li Lan and his followers face to become somewhat disturbed, this sudden change in the competition had also somewhat damaged their plan and calculations for their goal.

 

 

“Don't worry about him, you two, take some good rest, and save your strength for the second round of the martial arts competition.”

 

 

Sitting cross-legged Li Lan, slightly open his eyes, and said while knitting his brows.

 

 

“Yes, Senior Brother Li!”

 

 

“Many thanks for Senior Brother Li reminder.”

 

 

Ge Yin and Zhang Tianlun, with a shiver in their heart, hurriedly start restoring their strength while sitting cross-legged.

 

 

Li Lan slowly closed his eyes again.

 

 

In fact, he is also somewhat stunned and angry with Ding Hao victory in his heart.

 

It was not easy for him to obtain two “Surging Power Pill” from his Uncle in the Inner Sect.
By taking this pill, both Ge Yin and Zhang Tianlun can increase their overall strength in a short period of time, for all this, he had really paid a huge price.
 

 

According to his original plan, as long as he and his two trusted followers, can obtain a win during the first round of competition, they will surely become the one and only representative of the entire East River Bank, logically this will also help him win recognition and a favorable impression from each and every disciple of the East River Bank.
This advantage will also help him in surpassing Ding Hao’s popularity from the hearts of East River Bank disciples.

 

 

 And then after the Five Banks Great Competition, using some other means, he will not have to worry about not receiving the support of every 400 disciples of East River Bank.
With this, in the future, the position of the Head of the entire East River Bank will be in his hands.

 

But, who had thought that Ding Hao will also win in the first round?

 

 

Destroying all his plans.

 

 

Li Lan shook his head, it seems that the previous investigation on Ding Hao is not fully detailed.
Strength wise, East River Bank is at the last among the Total Five Banks, beside him, every chosen disciple should have been eliminated in the first round… but he didn’t think Ding Hao will be a variable.

 

 

To be honest, he looked down a little on Ding Hao.

 

 

Every detail about Ding Hao is very clear, at the beginning he was just a servant in the Inquiring Sword Sect, even after participating continuously four times in Entering Sect Examination he was still defeated every time, only last time was he able to succeed, he didn’t imagine that a lowly servant, will finally get a chance to spread his wings in the sky.

 

 

“But, in the next round, your luck won't be so good.”

 

 

Li Lan coldly smiles in his heart.
 

 

……

 

After an hour, the second round of the Five Banks Great Competition finally begun.

 

 

After the first round of competition, the Five Banks have been successively divided according to their ranks based on their wins.

 

 

The strongest Central River Bank had displayed the most outstanding results, among the ten chosen disciples, nine had won their matches except for the little-undeserved match with the Zhang Tianlun, won nine points in total, resulting in the top first position.

 

 

Next is the South River Bank, Lu Kuang, and the other chosen disciples had defeated their respected opponents, winning six points in total.

 

 

But the weakest East River Bank, shocking the eyes of all the disciples, because of Ding Hao and Li Lan with his two followers powerful performance, not letting down everyone expectations, has gained them a total of four points, resulting in the third position.

 

 

The remaining West River Bank and North River Bank, have only three chosen disciples to qualify for the second round of the martial arts contest respectively, in total each Bank had obtained three points, resulting in a tie at the fourth position.

 

 

At this time, there is an announcement above the arena, a list for the confirmation of chosen disciples in the second round of the competition, Ding Hao's second opponent, had also been announced.

 

 

 No.10 from East River Bank vs No.3 from South River Bank.
 

 

Similarly, Li Lan's opponent is also from the South River Bank.

 

It seems that Ge Yin and Zhang Tianlun luck had finally run out, as both of their opponents are the members of the “Seven Righteous Alliance” from the strongest Central River Bank, after obtaining the news both of them immediately become unconscious.

 

 

At the same time, many disciples are very jealous of a certain disciple from the North River Bank Fatty Ren Xiaoyao.

 

 

Because this fellow’s luck was really too good, as he had become the luckiest disciple among the total remaining twenty-five disciples that do not need to attend the second round of the competition and directed straight to the third round.

 

 

The remaining 24 disciples, had to slaughter their way up.

 

 

……
 

 

Arena 10

 

 

Wearing a long purple robe, a tall and robust youth, with a face full of arrogance, after sizing up his opponent up and down, laughingly said: “Didn’t expect my opponent will be such a weak looking girl, it is really a surprise that you were even able to enter the second round of competition.
Listen, I am Nanmeng Zhang a chosen disciple from the South River Bank, sissy, who are you?”

 

 

“Li Lan”
 

 

 Li Lan said his name in a calm manner.

 

However, a wisp of fierce and ruthless light flashed in his two bright pupils, apparently, the words that Nanmeng Zhang had just spoken, especially the last word “sissy”, had angered him greatly.

 

 

Nanmeng Zhang didn’t even notice the slight change in his opponent.

 

 

“Li Lan?” Even the name is so girly, Haha …
” hearing his opponent's name, Nanmeng Zhang can’t help but laugh madly.

 

 

Before he was even able to utter another word again, his face suddenly becomes deathly pale.

 

 

Because instantaneously, a strong aura pressed on his entire body.

 

 

His opponent shadow in a flash, invades at his side instantaneously, such speed, like ghost and demons, instantly surpassing the reaction speed of an average disciple.

 

 

Nanmeng Zhang immediately become completely shocked.

 

 

But before he was even able to react in time, a pair of slender, white and delicate palm, had already been gently imprinted on his chest.

 

 

“Uh …
Pop!”

 

 

An unbelievable look explodes in the eyes of Nanmeng Zhang.

 

 

This sissy, is such an incredibly powerful opponent?

 

 

 What kind of monster did I mess with?

Thinking about this, his throat suddenly becomes filled with blood, and like a cannonball he was blown upside down to fly out, then mercilessly fell thirty or forty meters outside the arena, after his hands and legs twitched two or three times, he immediately become unconscious.

 

K.O!

 

 

The fury of the Li Lan, is not something to be trifled with.

 

 

After displaying his appalling strength, which is similar to as a Tyrannosaurus, using only one move, he had blown away one of the strongest chosen disciples from the South River Bank.

 

 

Below the arena.

 

 

Whether it is the South River Bank or the East River Bank disciple, all are shocked.

 

 

All the disciples are looking at the calm and gentle youth on the arena with amazement, each and every disciple's mouth had become wide open.

 

 

A second ago, the battle had not even begun.

 

 

A second later, the battle was over.

 

 

They don’t even know what the hell actually happened on the arena!

 

 

Li Lan!

 

 

So Strong!

 

 

Only one move!

 

 

 Li Lan!

 

 

This name vibrated and shook all around the arena.

 

 

……

 

 

No.
14th Arena.

 

 

“Uh …
Pop!” Ge Yin persisted only less than a minute, even spurting fresh blood out from his mouth.

 

 

Completely aghast, he looked at his opponent with amazement.

 

 

He is a chosen disciple from the Central River Bank, a member of the “Seven Righteous Alliance”, ranked third, a complete battle lunatic, he looks like a thin swarthy youth, always having a smile on his face, revealing his bright shiny white teeth.
