Chapter 203 Missing Ring
At this moment, the Shadow Stone Wall was also plunged into shock and silence.
“I take back what I said earlier. With her strength, there is absolutely no need for her to worry about the threat of evil spirits.”
"I thought the demon was amazing enough, but it turns out that only someone stronger than him could subdue such a being," someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"She doesn't have the cultivation level of the Qi Sea Realm, but she has a massive amount of Yuan Qi that is close to that level. She must have a special physique."

"Do you think this child is capable of receiving a title?" Haoyue Sword Master asked the crowd.
“High probability, but who can say for sure? But she has done enough, even better than most of us. At least I think she deserves a title,” the black-haired woman replied.
Do you also agree with the concept of inner demons?
Looking at the silent crowd, Haoyue Sword Master smiled and said, "She has indeed done enough. The rest can only be left to the Creation Stone Tablet."
At this moment, on the battlefield in the Kunyuan Secret Realm, everyone who participated in the battle looked at the silent earth demon bear tightly bound by blue vines and couldn't help but feel admiration for the blue figure in front of them.
Qingyun turned around and looked at the crowd behind her, only to find that the original group of several hundred people had dwindled to just a few dozen. Her vines hadn't actually saved many people from the earth demon bear's devastating attack; most of them had ultimately been eliminated.
Although she knew that no one would die in the Sword Selection, she still felt that as the person primarily in charge of this battle, she had failed in her responsibilities as a good commander and had not protected everyone, causing the entire team to suffer such heavy losses. She was undoubtedly a failed leader.
She knew that anyone else could have done a better job than her, so she didn't understand why everyone insisted on making her the main commander.
She not only made no contribution to the battle plan, but also had no command ability. In fact, she was always the puppet leader of the Aoki Society. So why did it have to be her?
"Brother Shen, is this my seat too?" Qingyun was filled with mixed emotions at this moment.
Li Xiaoyi noticed Qingyun's low spirits, so she came to her side and gently comforted her, "Qingyun, you've done enough. Since it's already happened, there's no other possibility. This result shows that everyone was right about you."
"Zuo Chen, what should we do next?" Yuan Wuwei asked with a frown. He knew that the fact that the Creation Stone Tablet had not yet appeared was not good news.
"We can only wait! At least we haven't been teleported out yet," Zuo Chen said, gazing absently at the dim sky.
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield understood that the next moment was the most crucial, and they all quieted down, waiting for the final result.
Whether the leader of the Aoki-kai can obtain a title depends on whether the Creation Stone Tablet recognizes her actions.
As time passed, looking at the battlefield that remained completely still, Shen Xu couldn't help but frown. Wentian had done so much for Qingyun, and Qingyun had even shown her formidable personal strength at the end. Could it be that she still couldn't gain the approval of the Creation Stone Tablet?
"Zuo Chen, have we failed?" Yuan Wuwei sighed as he looked at the unchanged surroundings.
"This isn't right! What went wrong?" Zuo Chen ignored Yuan Wuwei's words, his face, clad in a starry mask, never leaving the sky.
“It’s all about timing and fate. Some things don’t necessarily yield results just because you try your best,” Cen Chong comforted him.
Li Xiaoyi and Xiao Ruohuang stood beside Qingyun, their moods also very solemn.
Most people on the battlefield looked at the girl in the blue dress with pity. She had done so much to get the title, but in the end it was all for nothing.
However, there were also those who gloated and began to complain about why the Sword Selection had not ended even though the Earth Demon Bear had been killed.
Only Qingyun observed the obviously strange atmosphere around her with some confusion, but Zuo Chen had taught her not to speak easily in front of others, so she could only keep all her questions to herself.
“You should go there,” Ye Zhi suddenly said.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything!" Ye Zhi replied, looking at Shen Xu with some confusion.
Seeing that Ye Zhi didn't seem to be lying, Shen Xu frowned and immediately said, "Let's go!" He then took Ye Zhi's hand and left the crowd.
"I'm going to help her this time. I have a feeling that the sword selection will end immediately once I get there, so I'll say goodbye to you here, Xiaozhi!" Shen Xu put on his black and gold robe.
"How can I find you after we get out?" Ye Zhi asked, blushing.
“I’ll set up a rock-paper-scissors stall at the Heavenly Sword Tower after we get out. You should be able to find me easily,” Shen Xu said with a smile, then turned around and put the demon mask on his face.
At the summit of Tianjian Mountain, everyone fell silent upon witnessing this scene.
"What exactly are the criteria for obtaining a title?" Even Zhu Yan Sword Master couldn't help but feel sorry for Qing Yun.
"Unfortunately, the right to judge is not in our hands. Since the Creation Stone Tablet did not choose her, there must be a reason for it. It also shows that this girl does not meet the selection criteria of the Creation Stone Tablet," the judge said with some regret.
"That's a pity. I really admire her," the black-haired woman sighed.
"I suspect it's because she didn't eliminate all the potential candidates from the Crimson Jade Society's sword selection!" the young man in hemp clothing said with a smile.
“Blood Slaughter! Not everyone is as bloodthirsty as you.” Chi Yuan’s face instantly darkened.
“I actually think that her leaving the Red Jade Society members behind is a plus, otherwise I wouldn’t be standing here,” the white-robed youth said softly.
"What I fear is that wanting everything will only put her at a disadvantage!" the blonde woman said mercilessly.
“What you’re all talking about are trivial matters. I think there’s a crucial element that needs to be addressed if she wants to receive the title,” the burly man suddenly said.
"Is Venerable Qingyue referring to evil spirits?" Tianhe Sword Venerable couldn't help but ask.
"Sword Master Tianhe is truly wise. That kid helped her so much during the Sword Selection. How could she have done it without him when it came time to confer titles? The Sword Selection isn't over yet, and they're probably waiting for that kid," Sword Master Haoyue said with a smile.
Just then, the scene before them suddenly changed. The once peaceful battlefield was suddenly engulfed in a fierce storm! A strong wind suddenly howled across the battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, a gale whipped up a cloud of yellow dust that swept across the sky. Like surging waves, the dust rose higher and higher, spreading rapidly and obscuring the sun. A black figure could be seen faintly in the dust.
Zuo Chen, who had been intently watching the changes in his surroundings, felt a surge of joy upon seeing the yellow dust billowing in the sky. However, when his gaze fell upon the dark figure ahead, his eyes involuntarily narrowed.
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd was blinded by the sudden cloud of dust. Despite this, no one was willing to close their eyes, for they knew they were about to witness the birth of a new titled Swordsman.
Shen Xu slowly walked down the path. After a difficult journey, he successfully traversed the layers of swirling yellow sand and dust in the giant pit, and his figure finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
