Systran + Textcrawler + google spreadsheets + light edits
(time)
*Note:* Oops, last chapter I didn't use FoxReplace but textcrawler instead. I got the link for textcrawler 2.0, which is better than 3.0, from a kind redditor named jayeze. Oh yeah, thank Ruze from Radiant translations for helping me out with the [Discusses sword stage] translation. It's论剑台, which literally translates to [discuss sword stage], but I couldn't figure out what the discuss part meant so I usually just deleted it. Turns out, it meant to discuss with swords, or duel, so now it's [Dueling Sword Platform]!

Just a reminder, but with my new replacements I'm adding in the [ ], { } to make it easier to spot where the replacements took place. If you see a 3True Profound Realm, 4Spirit Profound, 5Earth Profound, it's just because it makes it easier to keep track of and organize my glossary which is now on a google spreadsheet.

Oh yeah, might as well link the google spreadsheet glossary while im at it! Hit Data -> sort, to sort it however you want it (and yeah, I wasn't MTLing chapters cause I was figuring out textcrawler and making a new glossary. Thanks again jayeze! I also have that dang comp sci project I've been putting off for so long mumble mumble mumble.

Anyway, here ya go! I'll keep updating it as I go along.

Chapter 228 - <Heavenly Duck Sword> (TL: Believe me, I racked my brain but in the end, the coolest name was Heavenly

Yang Sword. However, Yang in this case means mandarin duck so... Heavenly Duck Sword it is...)

    Today, is the tenth day of the [Ranking Tournament].

    In the morning, day also not greatly bright, the fifth to eighth places in the [Ranking Tournament] were already on the [Dueling Sword Platform], entering the fight [Ling Feiyu], [Shui Wushang], [Xiao Kuanglei], [Fen Juebi], although they were the losers of yesterday eight fights, but they still can enter eight fights, they are the young extremely talented generation.

    [Xiao Kuanglei], although yesterday [Xia Qingyue] has chopped 33 sword wounds, but they were very shallow flesh wounds, drops down at the scene is also only because {meridians} ice-bound, today did not have anything to obstruct basically greatly, but [Fen Juebi] actually damaged the essence and blood yesterday in first, and further because sneak attacked mean [Yun Che] heavy losses, have not participated in five to eight competitions today, but he was perfect, simply was not other three people of matches, whether participated does not affect the result, actually to a certain extent has also preserved his final face countenance.

    Because of [Fen Juebi] absence, the four competitions were reduced to three, first, [Shui Wushang] defeated [Xiao Kuanglei], second, [Shui Wushang] defeated with difficultly [Ling Feiyu], third, [Ling Feiyu] defeated [Xiao Kuanglei].

    Hence, [Shui Wushang] ranks personally fifth, [Ling Feiyu] ranks personally sixth, [Xiao Kuanglei] ranks personally seventh, [Fen Juebi] ranks personally eighth. The [Xiao Sect] with [Burning Heaven Sect] influence ranking also in light of this ahead of time comes out ......[Xiao Sect] ranks fourth, [Burning Heaven Sect] ranks fifth, the first time in several hundred years drops out of top four.

    The basic reason is [Yun Che]'s appearance as the super dark horse.

    The sky white clouds flutters a bit, the five to eight ranks in the [Ranking Tournament] when finished, the time is nine am. Morning's sunlight many are somewhat incapable, but [Dueling Sword Platform] on all people's interest even more are actually soaring, because of this [Ranking Tournament] the semifinal, approached finally.

    [Ranking Tournament] before carrying on, already has many people to forecast this session [Ranking Tournament] final ranking, [Ling Yun] the name already overawes the world, his first position did not dispute that [Ling Yun], presented the guesses of numerous different versions, but also basically regarding fixed several people ......[Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace] [Shui Wushang] with [Wu Xuexin], [Heavenly Sword Villa] [Ling Feiyu], [Burning Heaven Sect] [Fen Jin], [Xiao Sect] [Xiao Kuanglei] ......

    But, enters the first four four people, except for [Ling Yun], other three people of not in expected, the great sect core disciple who before not having one is they are very early, learned, even does not have many people to know their names, [Ling Jie], has [Heavenly Sword Villa] the given name of village main child, nobody has thought he has to let unexpectedly [Ling Feiyu] does not fight the strength and admits defeat ......After all, his age was too small, everyone thinks that he enters the fight, except the informed and experienced.

    What is more astonishing, except for [Ling Yun], other three people of ages, oldest are also only 17 years old.

    This in the [Ranking Tournament] historically, is unprecedented for the first time!

    Semifinal second, [Ling Yun] to fight [Xia Qingyue] the competition the result in all person eyes has been doomed, even if [Xia Qingyue] again having god-given wisdom rare talent, is impossible to create the second victory. Therefore the fight most people paid attention too is first [Yun Che] with [Ling Jie] battle.

    With the 3True Profound Realm {Profound strength} entering the top four, entering first four by 16-year-old age, regardless of, has set an incomparably astonishing precedent, did not exaggerate said that two people, were the super talents that several hundred years rare met.

    Yesterday's [Yun Che] vs [Fen Juebi] fight, no matter what no one dares to think that he would lose so easily to [Ling Jie] again. His fight with [Fen Juebi], although first time exposes the astounding true strength, but that as if is still not his with all one's strength, but [Ling Jie], can let [Ling Feiyu] admit defeat directly, showed that he has not shown the true strength from the start from beginning to end.

    This without doubt is a suspenseful historical showdown - [Ranking Tournament] historically lowest {Profound strength} and smallest age showdown!

    [Yun Che] arrived early on the [Dueling Sword Platform] on, afterward, [Ling Jie] also sluggishly walked, is 20 ten feet away stationed in [Yun Che]'s front, while smiling greeted to him: “Hey, Big Bro, good morning.”

    [Ling Jie] the sound is not loud, but sufficient for [Ling Wugou] to hear. He was just about to announce both sides' names and respective influences, heard suddenly [Ling Jie] to [Yun Che] that name, his whole body shakes, both legs became soft, almost did not have a knee to kneel the on ground.

    “Oh! You also know that should call me Big Bro. I also think that you would not acknowledge your mistakes.”[Yun Che] both hands hold the chest, and said smiling.

    [Ling Jie], with a curling upwards nose, said high-spirited:“I [Ling Jie] am a real man, my words are effective and influential word and I would never take back a promise. The black bear will pay back a debt.”

    “Is that right?” [Yun Che] has a despising look in his eyes: “I've stayed for more than ten days in the Heavenly Sword Villa, however this little brother of mine unexpectedly has not gone to see me one time. I suppose this little brother just isn't competent?”

    “Eee......” [Ling Jie] stared staring, the sound also lowered, with a low yes-man's voice said: “I ......I wanted to go, but my eldest brother said that if such an influence went out to meet, he would not close the matter.”

    He who hnew he was in the wrong shifted topics rapidly, gained ground by saying: “Big Bro, you have really not made me disappointed. Initially these people ridiculed you, but I knew that you would certainly make them regret it. Hey, how can this [Ling Jie] not expect that, that the man who made me have to admit defeat and become the little brother, can be a common character? But I have not thought that Big Bro would make it to the semifinal unexpectedly, but also go against me to ......Groans, this is a super good opportunity!”

    “Opportunity?”

    “Right right!”[Ling Jie] grins with a smile: “Although I do not take back a debt shouted you to be big, but had at heart that little is not convinced, after all, you had initially met my three swords, yet you have not defeated me. Must become the Big Bro, you should at least be fiercer than the little brother right?”

    “Therefore?”[Yun Che] a hand on his chin, with a pale smile.

    [Ling Jie] puts out a hand to wipe on the spatial ring, takes up the sword chest that a White Jade has carved to become ......Right, is a Baiyu sword chest, but not he before continuously that place ~profound~ sword of use in competition.The hand caresses above bright and clean sword chest, [Ling Jie] in the happy expression started to take has let the point that the human was hard to watch intently: “If I can in tomorrow's competition, possibly am not eldest brother's match, therefore, this fight, I will completely exhaust all this one's strength! Let the world's people remember me [Ling Jie]'s graceful bearing! Wish lets me [Ling Jie] is willing, when your little brother, in this [Dueling Sword Platform] on, defeats with all one's strength under I! If you beat me, later you are my Big Bro, if you are defeated ......, I may consider that I would actually receive you to become the little brother.”

    “Good!”[Yun Che] directly nodded, the look becoming dignified is also earnest: “If I am unable to defeat you, I do not certainly have the qualifications to be your Big Bro. Such being the case, use that sword and let me have a look at your true strength!”

    [Ling Jie] hand gently one moves, the White Jade sword chest turned on, along with together flashing of orange rays, one all over the body orange yellow, the length an approximately five feet five inches tall and slender sword has flown into [Ling Jie]'s hand.

    Zheng ......

    Orange sword present dust, the spontaneous release a long sword cry, a sword potential alsod quietly fills the air suddenly, the sword potential is not intense, is not swift and fierce, but is actually having the incomparably astonishing penetrating power, among short two rests, then entire [Dueling Sword Platform] complete cover, sits in [Dueling Sword Platform] each person in edge felt that a temperate sword they quietly will certainly cover, make their minds and vision under the inexplicable hauling, cannot help but have their sights centralized above that orange sword blade. If one was to examine carefully, one will discover the orange sword's surrounding space had a small scope distortion slowly.

    “What sword potential is this? Hears something never heard of before simply ......And so on! The orange sword, is ......”

    “<Heavenly Duck Sword>!!”

    “Right! Indeed is [Heavenly Sword Villa]'s one of <Heavenly Duck Sword>s three 6Sky Profound Excaliburs! It is said when [Ling Yun] was 17 years old he had conquered the Heavenly Male Duck Sword, he was only 16 years old, has subdued unexpectedly the Heavenly Female Duck Sword!”

    “[Heavenly Sword Villa] really has a lot of talents. [Ling Yun]'s matchless talent is shocking, have not thought that [Ling Jie] must even be better! [Ling Yuefeng] to have such two sons, has consoled fully always.”

    “It seems like this fight, [Yun Che] wanting to defeat the one who can control the <Heavenly Duck Sword> [Ling Jie], is basically impossible.”

    [Yun Che] has not heard of the <Heavenly Duck Sword>, so when the <Heavenly Duck Sword> is revealed, [Yun Che] then felt that it certainly is not the common astonishing sword potential, the surroundings are full of the deep amazed much discussion sound, lets him even more understand the uncommonness of this sword. Without a doubt, this is a name shocking any of those below the sword of 6Sky Profound!

    In this [Ranking Tournament], presented 6Sky Profound weapon finally for the first time!

    With the <Heavenly Duck Sword> in hand, [Ling Jie] whole person's {qi} field also suddenly had the change, his whole person as if changed to a sword, the whole body has shaken something Ling Ranjian to be mad that in the double pupil did not have the half minute laughter to be sloppy again, but releases like the sharp sword common sharp cold bristle.

    [Yun Che] steps back half step, right hand moves, the sincere non-front's overlord great sword drops from the clouds, bang's stands before his body, under half sword blade deep sinking ground. [Yun Che] both hands grasp above the sword hilt, makes a small effort, the overlord great sword then howls in the crushed stone of fluttering about, mountain sincere overbearing imposing manner direct impact [Ling Jie], but goes.

    But overlord great sword after is only Earth ~profound~, has the disparity on boundary and {level} with the <Heavenly Duck Sword>, it overbearing peerless {qi} field has not actually suppressed the <Heavenly Duck Sword>'s imposing manner many, instead by a <Heavenly Duck Sword> temperate sword {qi} channel incision.

    6Sky Profound and Earth ~profound~ difference, then like fine steel to worthless, above weapon, [Yun Che] stands in the absolute inferiority. But his imposing manner half silk has not flaunted weakly, {Great Sword} wields, the wind eats delicacies ear-spittingly: “Come.”

    “Four fight first:[Blue Wind Royal Family] [Yun Che] right fight [Heavenly Sword Villa] [Ling Jie] ......To fighting start!”

    “Not only reveals the <Heavenly Duck Sword> directly . Moreover, even if so in the breath does not have the least bit to be lax, looks like, he attaches great importance to very much with [Yun Che] the fight.”[Ling Yuefeng] looks [Dueling Sword Platform] on two, slow ~voice said~.

    “Mm.”[Ling Yun] nods: “After all, [Yun Che], for [Little Jie] in this world besides me, has only been impressed by him. Six months ago, [Yun Che] with 3True Profound Realm {Rank Three} {Profound strength}, kept off stiffly [Little Jie]'s three swords blows, letting him to be subdue greatly, talked over continuously was very long, but at that time, [Yun Che] the overall strength by far was inferior [Little Jie]. In the half year time, [Little Jie] the strength progresses by leaps and bounds, but if this time actually [Yun Che] defeating, then, him should be convinced thoroughly by him ......Perhaps must exceed me in the degree.”

    [Ling Yun]'s words, let [Ling Yuefeng] brow moves, after he thinks deeply about a meeting silently, suddenly said: “If this is the case, in this fight, he cannot let [Yun Che] have the victory. Yun Er, if Jie Er is at a disadvantage , let him use the other <Heavenly Duck Sword>!” (TL: I think that's what it's supposed to mean o.o As far as I know, there's a female and male mandarin duck sword. Regrettably I called them both Heavenly Duck Swords... I'll start adding in the female part next chapter)

    [Ling Yuefeng]'s words let [Ling Yun] be startled, understood anything along with it, gently nodded: “I understand.”
