The Scum Is A

102nd Intersect Competition, third stage – sixth day.

"Hah!" everyone is in good spirit after a relaxing night of sleep. They picked up their pace in killing walking corpses and started to rank up, catching up against each other's rank.

"No accident will occur again today, right?" Jing Hei asked as he wiped the sweat off his forehead while he catches his breath after they finished killing a wave of corpses.

"No… I think." Jing Bai answered as he placed his hand on his waist and leaned on the Cleansing Stone on Zheng Yi's neck to look at the ranking.

"…" Zheng Yi who had a dark expression since Jing Bai's pose is suggestive, making him look like he's kissing him. "What?" he asked as he glared at him while moving his head away.

Jing Bai's lips missed to touch the thin mask covering Zheng Yi's face. He secretly smiled before he answered. "I just wanna check the rankings." He answered. "Why so guarded against me?" he asked and raised his gaze to see Zheng Yi's beautiful eyes narrowed into slits.

"… I would've already been molested if I wasn't." Zheng Yi answered through his gritted teeth.

"'molested'?" Jing Bai said and just laughed.

Zheng Yi knew he can never win an argument, nor against the shamelessness of this man thus he just opened the Cleansing Stone and shown the ranking list to him.

Chen Han, Sun Yi, Yu Sheng and Wu Xi are the first. Jing Cheng, Xi Ming, Tang Zhe, Kang Ce, Fei Yin are Cheng Sheng are in the second. Jing Hei, Jing Bai, Gong Xian and Tang Yun are in the third place. Feng Mo, Shan Lu, Xi Xing, Qian Lin and Jing Kang are in the fourth place. Li Tian, Guo Cheng and Xiong Si are in the fifth place. Xiao Le, Fu An, and the rest of the Huakai Sect disciples are in the sixth place and below.

"So fierce…" Jing Bai muttered as he stared at the ranking list that's rapidly changing every second passed. Everyone is tied in one place. "Da ge should work harder…" he said, referring to Jing Cheng.

"Cheng Sheng's group occupied the first place." Zheng Yi said as they looked at Chen Han, Sun Yi, Yu Sheng and Wu Xi's name in the first place.

"No worry. We can always take it back." Jing Bai smiled. The competition finally picked up its pace after the series of mishaps from the past few days.

Today is the second to the last day of the third stage. They had to give it their all, too, to not lose!

On the Shanliangde Sect's side, Fu An stared at Xi Ming, Xi Xing and Gong Xian while he and Xiong Si rested on the side. "Amazing… they're truly amazing…" he muttered as he stared at them three pushing back the walking corpses.

"Even though he's always asleep, but Gong Xian sure is really strong. Maybe because he's sleeping?" Xiong Si asked. He meant, Gong Xian conserved his strength since he's always sleeping. "He's not losing to Jing Bai and Jing Hei of the Zunjingde Sect, and Tang Yun of the Huakai Sect." he said before he turned to Xi Xing. "Xi Xing, too. Even though he doesn't speak, but his movements are sharp and strong. Like Feng Mo of the Xinfaxian Sect, and Qian Lin of the Qianxu Sect." he commented when the heads of the corpses rolled after Xi Xing cut them in one strike. "And Xi Ming…" he said as they looked at Xi Ming. "He might be low-key among the eldest disciples' group, but he's as strong as Jing Cheng and Fei Yin." He said as they watched the group of corpses fell in a second. "Because of his temperament, he's always overlooked." He said.

Fu An nodded. "The Shanliangde Sect shouldn't be underestimated. They're really as strong as a mountain." He said as they watched the three people stood back-to-back-to-back.

On the Huakai Sect's side, Xin Xin was staring at everyone in awe as she watched them fought against the large number of walking corpses. "Amazing… they're so amazing!" she exclaimed.

Kang Ce, despite his nasty attitude, is actually really disciplined and is powerful. He's toe to toe against Tang Zhe who's the most powerful of the Huakai Sect. Tang Yun isn't lagging behind, either, with his fast and sharp attacks accurately stabbing and cutting the limbs of the walking corpses. Shan Lu, setting aside his idiotic nature, has powerful strikes it can explode a walking corpse's head in just one strike. Guo Cheng, despite playing a support, is always in time helping his fellow disciples.

"Aaaarrrr…" a growl can be heard behind her.

A vein popped in her forehead as she somersaulted in the air and kicked the walking corpse. "Don't interrupt me when I'm giving my commentary!" she told it and squashed its head with her foot when she landed on its head.

The walking corpse who was one-hit one-killed. "…"

Xin Xin resumed silently watching Kang Ce and the Huakai Sect.

Outside the secret realm, everyone was in awe. "Amazing… really, really amazing! This is what a competition is!" somebody exclaimed with his eyes shining while they watched in the Cleansing Stone.

"Absolutely! Absolutely powerful!" another one added when they saw the Zunjingde Sect, the Shanliangde Sect and the Huakai Sect killing the walking corpses at a fast speed!

"Huh?" someone said when they suddenly noticed something. "Everyone's killing the walking corpses yet… the ranking isn't changing?!" he said in shock when they saw the ranking list is in a standstill.

"What?! Is the Cleansing Stone broken?" they asked as murmurs started to spread.

"The Cleansing Stone isn't broken." Zheng Fu Gong said when he saw their doubt.

"Then, that means…" they said as they looked at Cheng Sheng's group.

"Heh." Lei Ling, Lei Qing and You Rou smirked with their arms crossed and their chin proudly raised.

"WHAT?!" they all exclaimed in shock when they saw the walking corpses were killed faster in Cheng Sheng's group than the other three groups combined!

That's because –

Inside the secret realm, Cheng Sheng's eyes narrowed when they saw a large group of the walking corpses coming over them. "They're here!" he said and grinned as he raised his arm, and the talismans that were mid-air started to rain down in the walking corpses, setting them in place. "Stay still – " he said as he swung his right arm, and an array appeared under the feet of the walking corpses on the right side.

The walking corpses can't move!

"Freezing Talisman. Full Gravity Array!" Cheng Sheng yelled as the talismans and the array glowed. Then, he flung his sleeve and he turned in his heels, facing the south where another group of walking corpses arrived. "Undead, be gone!" he said as he aimed his fingers towards the walking corpses!

BOOM! The walking corpses in the south side all vanished! The walking corpses with the talismans pasted on their head were beheaded by Yu Sheng and Wu Xi, while the walking corpses inside the array were killed by Li Tian and Xiao Le! The walking corpses on the left side of the area were killed by Chen Han and Fei Yin!

In only few seconds, a large wave of walking corpses was all killed! Too powerful! They are too powerful! Cheng Sheng who acted as a support and attacker is very powerful! Such is the power of a mage!

Outside the secret realm, everyone was stunned by the display of their strength.

"Beautiful…" Pai Lie muttered under his breath as he watched Cheng Sheng's group.

Cheng Sheng was standing in the center with Shu Mu. Yu Sheng and Wu Xi is standing in the north. Li Tian and Xiao Le were on the east. Sun Yi and Feng Mo are on the south. And Fei Yin and Chen Han are on the west.

"Amazing…" Zuo Zhe said in a daze.

Inside the secret realm, the other groups were also stunned.

"So this is how powerful they are…" Jing Cheng said.

"Cheng Sheng is still acting as a mage at that." Jing Bai said.

"He will definitely display his swordsmanship after he exhausted his qi." Jing Kang said.

"He's really strong!" Jing Hei exclaimed.

"He's a monster… as well as his teammates." Qian Lin said.

In the Shanliangde Sect's side, Xi Ming stared at the Cleansing Stone with wide eyes.

"Wow…" Fu An exclaimed.

"Do they still have a plan to leave some for us?" Xiong Si grinned as they watched Cheng Sheng's group dealt with another wave of walking corpses.

"They're all powerful." Gong Xian said as he looked at Yu Sheng, Wu Xi, Fei Yin, Chen Han and Sun Yi.

"Cheng Sheng is." Xi Xing spoke.

"He is." Xi Ming nodded in agreement.

In the Huakai Sect's side.

"…" are they still planning to let us live? At this rate, they'll finish off all the walking corpses! They all thought.

"This won't last long." Kang Ce said. They looked at him. "Later, they will exhaust their strength – especially Cheng Sheng since he's acting as a mage. Being a mage is more taxing in qi than a sword cultivator. Cheng Sheng will definitely be a spent arrow later." He said as his eyes narrowed. "So – " he said.

"We'll seize that chance to widen the gap!" Tang Zhe said.

"Yeah!" they all answered.
