Such a Young Man

Qin Ming stood with his left hand behind his back, calm and composed, determined to reveal his true Grandmaster Level prowess!

After landing, Ling Yu continued to stagger backward several steps, each step accompanied by a clear cracking sound, as the lapis lazuli ground, as hard as iron, began to crack.

Tang Jun was stunned. Ling Yu was the headline figure in the Night Report recently, the Young Ancestor who was going to Sword Testing Under the Heavens, yet he was sent flying so far away by a single palm strike?

Cheng Rui's face stiffened. This was Ling Yu, who was even more powerful than her childhood friend. Moreover, she hadn't been "sneaked in" this time, but was instead sent flying right away.

Qian Chuan really wanted to say: No one knows the truth better than me!

As someone of the same kind, Xin Youdao deeply understood the significance of that palm strike. It was a fair and square push against the opponent, a dominant force!

"Gah..." Crow Master was speaking when his voice abruptly stopped.

Tang Jin had once taught Ling Yu that even if the Ascension Mountain before his eyes in the depths of the night fog, he should remain calm and composed. But at this moment, even she herself could not do it.

"Such a young man... protect him!" One of the two old men trembled, and the sparse hair on his head fluttered.

"Minghui, that child cultivating in the Immortal Land hasn't found a boyfriend yet, has he?" another old man secretly transmitted his voice.

Zhao Minghui was stunned. The old man was a very important elder in her family. How could he have such thoughts after just seeing him strike?!

Of course, she was also shocked. Who was Ling Yu? He was hailed as the Young Ancestor. Compared to him, the other person's unfathomable depth was even more apparent.

Ling Yu was stunned and incredulous. He looked down at his hands. Was this still him? Could he no longer unleash the Invincible Fist Print? The next moment, he charged forward again, even faster than before. The Heavenly Light around him was like a burning galaxy, accompanied by a divine spectacle, as he blasted towards the boy in the arena.

Normally, this scene would have amazed everyone and elicited genuine praise, but now they could only remain silent. Because another person was even more outrageous!

Qin Ming stood still, his blue robes fluttering in the wind from the opponent's Heavenly Light Force gaze, as he continued to thrust out a palm strike. Scales!

Ling Yu was sent flying backward, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. He was proud and refused to use the power of Outer Saint.

Then, he attacked again, this time swooping down from mid-air, his movements sacred and serene, like a solitary moon in the sky.

However, as if unable to escape some kind of fate, he was still pushed away by the unmoving boy in the center of the arena with a single palm strike, leaving him ragged and with blood and foam in his mouth.

Everyone fell silent; it's really hard to judge this situation.

Was Ling Yu not strong enough? Of course not. He was once the center of attention, recognized by all sides, and could be considered a prodigy. It can only be said that the other boy was even more extraordinary, defying conventional judgment!

"Three palms... three thousand Day Gold." Under these circumstances, even Little Wu could not speak loudly, and counted in a voice as faint as the chirping of insects.

Tang Jin wanted to call a stop, but Ling Yu in the arena showed no sign of giving up. This time, he used his Consciousness Spirit Light.

Earlier, he knew that Qin Ming was taking the New Life Path, so after he came up, he only used the methods of that path, wanting to compete in the area where his opponent was most proficient and defeat the youth of Black White Mountain.

Now it seems he was overthinking it; the gap between them on the New Life Path is quite large! If he is the Young Ancestor, then the other is— the Ancestor!

Unfortunately, even with Ling Yu's use of methods from outside the mortal realm, he couldn't change the situation, and this time he was sent flying even further.

Qin Ming's palm strike seems to grow stronger the stronger the opponent!

His robes fluttered, and his right hand glowed, dazzlingly bright. It was a power of utmost yang and strength, capable of scorching the Consciousness Spirit Light, and seemingly igniting it while blasting away his opponent.

Ling Yu was too arrogant. Even though he couldn't stop it, he still didn't use the power of the Second Realm, the Yellow Court. He made his fifth move, using the Heavenly Light Force mixed with a wisp of Pure Yang Spirit Light to blast forward.

Unfortunately, he was destined to lose this battle. In an instant, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, staggered, his face extremely pale, and he could barely stand.

Those present should have applauded Qin Ming's performance; it was truly phenomenal. However, doing so would have been too cruel to the other person. The boy standing motionless in the arena hadn't moved a single foot from beginning to end, fighting with only one hand—just what kind of monster was he?

Everyone looked at him strangely. After careful consideration, they concluded that this... must be the true talent of Grandmaster Level!

"Five palms... five thousand Day Gold, completely perfected." Little Wu said in a low voice, without shouting to provoke the main character. The spectators nearby were speechless upon hearing this.

Tang Jin, in particular, glared at him fiercely.

Qin Ming looked across at the other side and said, "I told you you can use your full strength and unleash the power of your Second Realm. Let me fight without restraint."

Ling Yu pursed his lips and remained silent, clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white. He was extremely unwilling. As a young man, and especially one who had recently been full of vigor, who didn't have ambitions to look down upon the world?

However, at this moment, he suffered a crushing defeat at the same level, as if he were facing a mountain that he could not overcome at all. He didn't even know how high the mountain was!

This was an experience he had never had before, Divine Capital was trembling.

"Call him back," the Purple-Eyed Crow said, because if things continued like this, it wouldn't just be a matter of resolving their inner conflict. "Come back," Tang Jin said.

She naturally realized that if they fought again, Ling Yu might... tie a knot in his heart that would never be tied.

"Actually, you don't need to take it to heart. On this path, winning and losing are both normal. No one dares to say they can sweep aside all opponents," Qin Ming said.

Was this an attempt to comfort their opponent? The two elderly men nodded, their faces showing relieved smiles.

However, the young people present felt that his self-deprecating words lacked sincerity, because he was demonstrating what a sweeping victory truly meant through his actions.

Tang Jin, in particular, grew increasingly aloof. She noticed Qin Ming looking at her; was he still determined to challenge her?

"I..." Ling Yu began, his forehead covered in sweat, as if he were struggling to overcome a mental hurdle and make a decision.

He clenched his fists and then relaxed them, his expression complex, his face shifting from tense to relaxed, then back to tense again.

Then, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "In this First Realm, I am no match for you. In my understanding, you are already one of the best, and should be considered as having the legendary Grandmaster Level talent!"

After saying this, he seemed a little dispirited, his tension eased, as if he had overcome a mental hurdle. Ling Yu admitted that he was inferior to others in the First Realm, and that his earlier inner conflict had not become an intractable problem.

Then, he raised his head, his eyes flashing like lightning, and said, "I am willing to use all my strength to fight you!"

Although he didn't have a deep-seated problem in his heart, he was still somewhat resentful that the other party had repeatedly asked him to use the power of the Second Realm!

He didn't believe anyone could defy the "Young Ancestor"!

Although his status as Young Ancestor was the result of various parties pushing him forward, it has not been fully verified.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Alright, I'm really looking forward to seeing just how strong your lineage's system, built by combining the Immortal Path with the New Life Path, really is, and what unique methods it possesses."

After he finished speaking, not only was Ling Yu's fighting spirit soaring, but even Tang Jin's expression changed. The young man in the arena, having been challenged, was now trying to reassess their system?

Tang Jin secretly transmitted her voice. "Ling Yu, since you're going to make your move in the Second Realm, then unleash your full power, go all out, and don't lose!"

"Alright, Senior Sister, I won't allow him to challenge you!" Ling Yu replied secretly.

At the same time, he also wanted to know just how terrifying this young man with the talent of Grandmaster Level was, and just how high this insurmountable mountain was!

Qin Ming said, "You should recover first. I hope you can show your strongest form."

"You!" Ling Yu's black hair fluttered wildly, his already boiling fighting spirit now fully ignited! "Come back and rest," Crow Master said.

Ling Yu went all out, breaking off a piece of high-quality crystal on the spot and drinking the silver liquid sealed inside. In an instant, all his injuries were healed!

Afterward, he changed out of his tattered black clothes and put on a gleaming silver armor. It wasn't some rare treasure; he just didn't want to fight in rags.

"Alright, let me see how you defeat me, who's Second Realm!" Ling Yu strode over.

This time, his demeanor had completely changed. He radiated Heavenly Light, pure and holy, illuminating the area as if he were standing in the midst of a Divine Moon.

This place was shrouded in mist, intertwined with firelight, and adorned with vibrant colors—all the result of his Extraordinary Art abilities.

However, all of this was an illusion. Ling Yu had used another trump card of the sect right from the start; he didn't want to be defeated again.

Boom!

A deafening clap of thunder echoed throughout the Martial Arts Arena, and the entire void seemed to smell of burning.

Qian Chuan, Tang Jun, and Cheng Rui all felt their minds go blank, as if their souls were about to be shaken out of their bodies, which terrified them and sent chills down their spines.

They were outsiders, and they were already like this; one can only imagine how thrilling it must have been inside the arena.

At the Mountain River Academy, many students passing by the No. 1 Martial Arts Arena were stunned. Was it thunder? The sound was too loud, and their souls were unstable, their consciousness was fading, and they felt like they were about to leave their bodies.

At the Martial Arts Arena, two elderly men were amazed.

"Your lineage is truly remarkable. After improvements, your disciples can unleash the legendary Soul Suppression Lightning at the Outer Saint level!"

In the arena, Ling Yu's eyes were deep, his black hair was loose, and his silver armor clanged and shone brightly, making him look quite heroic. He unleashed one crimson lightning bolt after another, which intertwined in the void and covered Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was fearless. The Heavenly Light Force Circulated around his body, and then layer upon layer of five-colored light mist appeared, hazy and indistinct. He seemed to be impervious to all magic, and even the so-called crimson lightning could not penetrate him.

That five-colored mist could actually block the Soul Suppression Lightning!

Ling Yu continuously unleashed the legendary Soul Suppression Lightning. Normally, a single bolt of lightning could blast the opponent's Consciousness Spirit Light out of their body, thus killing them.

He didn't seek that; he only wanted to shake the opponent's soul, enough to cause it to slightly leave their body. Because he was unleashing a dual-path system of consecutive kills.

As can be seen, Ling Yu's Consciousness Spirit Light is also emerging, radiating a dazzling Divine Radiance.

With his talent, he was able to refine a wisp of Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light on his own, and it was refined with the help of his Senior Brother and Senior Sister, making it even more intense.

In an instant, the light, as bright as the Scorching Sun, began to take shape, smoothing out and condensing into a mirror, reflecting Qin Ming.

"Pure Yang Soul Illumination Realm!" an old man exclaimed. This was originally a high-level technique on the Immortal Path, but it was simplified and improved by the Grandmaster of this lineage, and can now be used even in the Yellow Court Realm.

At this moment, Ling Yu used the Soul Suppression Lightning to shake his opponent's soul, and then used the Pure Yang Soul Reflection Mirror to reflect it. Each of these was a trump card, and when combined, their power was immense.

Against any other opponent, they certainly wouldn't have been able to withstand it; their consciousness and soul light would have been forced out of their bodies. However, Qin Ming's soul remained as stable as a rock, unshakable in the slightest.

He was enveloped in a five-colored glow, and with a clang, a faint five-colored longsword appeared in his hand. "This... how is this possible?!"

Everyone present thought it was unrealistic; how could the Heavenly Light take form in the New Life Realm?

However, although the knife was unstable and its tip Ruyan or mist, it had indeed taken shape.

"That's the Five Elements Saber! He's actually mastered five different elemental Extraordinary Art!" Zhao Minghui exclaimed in amazement.

Qin Ming was like a ghost wandering on the Night Mist Sea, darting left and right. His blade shattered the Soul Suppression Lightning, and the crimson lightning intertwined around him completely dissipated. Then, like a rainbow piercing the sun, his Five Colors Saber stabbed towards the Pure Yang Soul-Illuminating Realm!

Thank you to Guo Jiuxing for the continuous Silver Alliance donations. I guess the book title wasn't chosen well, which led to my habit of writing late at night, and I haven't been very willing to say anything lately. I also want to thank the other Alliance members; I'll try to adjust my schedule later. Thank you so much for your support, everyone!

(There's more to come!)
